[Babab96]

गाँव के चौराहे पर टकराव

Kheton ki pagdandi se chalte hue main dheere-dheere Aryavart gaanv mein aa pahucha. Dimaag mein abhi bhi Chhaya ke ajeeb vyavhaar ko lekar sawaal ghoom rahe the. 

Main un baaton ko filhaal bhoolkar ghar jaane ki soch raha tha, tabhi gaanv ke chaurahe ki taraf se shor-sharaabe ki awaaz sunai di.

“Saale, zyada chaudhary mat ban!”

“Humne kya kiya hai? Pehle ye to bata!”

Awaazein Rahul aur Jitendra ki lag rahi thi.

Main us taraf badha toh dekha ki sadak ke kinaare kaafi log jama the. Beech mein Rahul aur Jitendra khade the. Unke saamne Banjara samaj ke chhe ladke the.

Dono taraf ke chehre gusse se laal the aur baat haathaapaai tak pahunch chuki thi.

Rahul ki kameez ka collar tedha tha, matlab use collar pakad kar khincha gya tha..
Jabki Jitendra apne Rahul ke paas khada un ladkon ko jawaab de raha tha.

Main bheed ko hataata hua aage badha.

Me_“Oye, Rahul! Jitendra! Yeh kya tamasha laga rakha hai?”

Meri awaaz sunte hi dono ne palatkar meri taraf dekha.

Rahul ke chehre par ek pal ke liye rahat nazar aayi. Jitendra bhi kuch bolne ke liye meri taraf badha..

lekin mere pahunchte hi saamne khade chhe ladkon ka ravaiya badal gaya.

Jo ladke abhi tak akadkar baat kar rahe the, woh mujhe dekhte hi ek-doosre ki taraf dekhne lage. 

Unmein se do to do kadam peeche hat gaye. 

Baaki chaar bhi apni jagah se khisakne lage.

Unmein se ek ne dheere se apne saathi ke kaan mein kaha

Ladka_ “Bhai, yeh Jay hai!, isse panga nhi le sakte”

Doosre ne turant uski baat kaat di

Dusra Ladka _“Pata hai mujhe. Chup reh abhi!”

Main unki ghabraahat dekh raha tha.

Gaanv mein meri kushti ke charche aam the. aur Mera gussa bhi bahut kharab tha..

Ak do pahalwan merey gusse ko jhel chuke the..

Pachees se zyada dangal jeetne ke baad log mujhe pehchaanne lage the, aur darne lage the..

lekin main us dar ka istemaal har chhoti baat mein raub jamaane ke liye nahi karta tha..

Main seedha Rahul ke paas gaya.

Me_ “Maamla kya hai?”

Rahul ne saamne khade ladkon ki taraf dekha aur phir meri taraf.

Rahul_“Kunwar, hum apne kaam se ja rahe the. In logon ne bina baat ke humein rok liya. Pehle gaali dene lage, aur meri collar pakad kar mujhse battmizi ki.”

Jitendra beech mein bol pada, 

Jitendra_“Aur jab humne wajah poochhi, toh ek ne Rahul ko dhakka de diya. Bas phir baat badh gayi.”

Maine dono ko gaur se dekha.

Me_“Tum dono ne haath toh nahi uthaya naa in logo pe?”

Rahul kuch pal chup raha. Jitendra ne nazrein hata li.

Main samajh gaya ki dono kuchh to chhipa rhe hai..

Me_“Dekho, pehle poori baat batao. Sirf gusse mein aakar kisi se bhi bhid jaana samajhdaari nahi hai.”

Phir main saamne khade chhe ladkon ki taraf muda.

Me_“Ab tum batao. Jhagda shuru kaise hua?”

Unmein se ek, jo baaki ladkon se thoda lamba tha aur jiski gardan mein laal gamchha pada tha, aage aaya. Usne apna gussa sambhalte hue kaha.....

Ladka_ “Jay, humari tumse koi dushmani nahi hai. Lekin in dono ne aisa kaand kia hai, Jo me sab ke samne nhi bata sakta"

Rahul turant bol pada..

Rahul_“Jhooth bol raha hai! humne kuchh nhi kia”

Ladka_ " Jhut to tu bol rha hai"

Rahul_ " Kis baat ko lekar tu itna choda ho rha hai"

Me_“Bas! Ek-ek karke baat hogi” 

maine sakhti se kaha.

Meri awaaz sunte hi dono taraf khamoshi chha gayi.

Maine laal gamchhe wale ladke ki taraf dekha. 

Me_“Tumhara naam kya hai?”

Ladka_“Bhura” 

Bhura_“Aur yeh mere saath Kaliya, Mangal, Sohan, Teja aur Nandu hain.”

Maine chhe chehron ko ek-ek karke dekha, phir kaha..

Me_ Tum log Gagan Pahalwan ke pariwar se ho?

Bhura_ Haa

Me_ Ghar jake kaka ko mera pranaam kahna..

Bhura_ Bol dunga Kunwar..

Me_“Theek hai, Bhura. me tumhe apni baat kahne kaa moka deta hun, Akele me..

Lekin ek baat yaad rakhna—Vyakti chahe Banjara samaj ka ho, Thakur ho ya kisi bhi samaj ka, isse kisi ko gaali dene ya dhakka dene ka haq nahi mil jaata.”

Meri baat sunkar aas-paas khade kuch buzurgon ne bhi haami bhari.

Bhura ne apne saathiyon ki taraf dekha.

Unke chehron par ab pehle jaisa gussa nahi tha. 

Woh ab bhi mujhse bachkar nikalna chahte the, lekin mujhe apka pakch batane ke liye ruk gaye..

Me, Bhura ke sath thoda dur gyaa..

Bhura_ Jay, Tumhare dost Rahul ne Nandu ki maa ko uper se niche tak ghura, unke badan per teeka tippani ki, use maal kaha, Asli wajah yahi hai, ladai ki..

Me_ Ye baat tumse Nandu ki maa ne kahi..

Bhura_ Haa.. Gayatri kaki ne kaha ki, Pandit kaa londa bada battmiz hai, mujhe uper se niche tak nihar raha tha, jese me koi jawan ladki hun..

Bas fir kyaa tha, ye baat Nandu aur hume bardasht nhi huyi..

Me_ Theek hai, Samajh gyaa..

Me ab maamla jaan chuka tha..

Hum dono wapas unke pass gaye, Maine Rahul aur Jitendra ko saaf keh diya..

Me_ “ Bhura apna sach mujhe bata chuka hai Aur Ab tum dono bhi sach-sach bataoge. Mere dost hone ka matlab yeh nahi ki main bina soche tumhara paksh le loonga.”

Rahul ne meri aankhon mein dekha, phir dheere se sir hila diya.

Maine Rahul ki taraf dekha.

Ab uske chehre par gusse ke saath ek ajeeb-si chinta bhi thi..

Mujhe samajh aa gaya ki Galti Rahul ki hi hai..

Me Rahul ko bhid se thoda dur le gyaa..

Me_Chal idhar aa “Rahul, ab tu hi bata. Aakhir maamla kya hai?”

Rahul ne pehle meri taraf dekha, phir nazrein churaate hue zameen ki taraf dekhne laga. Uske chehre se saaf lag raha tha ki woh sach chhupa raha hai.

Aur wo sach mujhe Bhura bata chuka tha..

Maine sakhti se kaha

Me_“Dekh bhai, tu mera dost hai. Lekin agar galti teri hai toh main tera saath dekar use sahi nahi banaunga. Jo hua hai, sach-sach bata.” 

Mera apna tarika hai, chijon ko handle karne kaa..

Jitendra bhi humare pass aaya, aur usne bhi Rahul ki taraf dekhkar kaha

Jitendra_“Rahul, ab bata bhi de. Baat pehle hi bahut badh chuki hai.”

Kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad Rahul ne gehri saans li.

Rahul_“Bhai, galti mujhse hui thi,” usne dheemi awaaz mein kaha.

Maine poochha.

Me_ “Kaisi galti?”

Rahul ne batana shuru kiya.

Rahul_ Kuch din pehle me apne khet ke paas wale raaste se guzar raha tha.

Wahin Banjara samaj ke Nandu ka ghar tha.
Us ghar ki ek mahila, jo Nandu ki maa thi, apne aangan mein rozmarra ka kaam kar rahi thi.
Uske mamme saaf saaf najar aa rhe the, 
Meri nazar us par padi aur me zaroorat se zyada der tak use ghoorta raha.

Woh sirf ek baar nazar padne ki baat nahi thi. Mere mann mein us mahila ko lekar galat niyat ban gayi thi, mujhe uske badan ko niharne me maja aa rha tha aur uski aisa karte huye mujhe Nandu ki maa Gayatri ne dekh liya..

Usne meri najre pakad li ki me usko taad rha hun..

To mujhe Nandu ki maa ne dekhtey huye tok diya tha.

Nandu ki Maa_ “Beta, kya baat hai? Tum mujhe is tarah kyun ghoor rahe ho?”

Rahul_ mene baat ko hansi mein udaane ki koshish ki thi..

Mene usse bola ki kuchh nhi Kaki, bas kuchh pal ko meri najre apki khubsurati per atak gayi thi..

lekin meri ye baat Nandu ki maa ko pasand nhi aayi, aur usne yeh baat apne bete Nandu ko bata di.

Jitendra_ Haa aur Nandu ko apni maa ke saath hua vyavhaar bilkul pasand nahi aaya to usne apne doston ko ye baat bata do..

Aur in sab me Rahul ko pelne kaa man bana lia..

Nandu ne apne paanch saathiyon—Kaliya, Mangal, Sohan, Teja aur Bhura—ko bhi poori baat bata di. 

Un sabko laga ki Rahul ko uski harkat ke liye sabak sikhana chahiye..

Aaj jab unhone Rahul aur Jitendra ko aate dekha to gher lia..

Wese ye dono roj iss samay chaurahe se gujarte hai, shayad Nandu aur uske dosto ko ye andaja tha..

Jitendra_ In logon ne Rahul ko rok kar gusse mein gaali-galauj ki aur dhakka-mukki bhi kari..

Jitendra ki baat khatam hui toh maine kuch pal Rahul ki taraf dekha.

Aur Man me socha ki maderchod, waha khet me agar me chahta to teri maa chod deta..

Waha uski chut me aag lagi padi hai, aur yaha tujhe jawani chad rahi hai..

Mene hosh me aate huye kaha..

Me_“Matlab, Nandu ki maa ne tujhe roka toka tha aur phir bhi tune baat ko wahi khatam karne ki bajay baat ko taal gaya?”

Rahul ne nazrein jhuka li.

Rahul_“Bhai, mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha. Mujhse galti hui.”

Me_“Kisi aurat ko is tarah ghoorna, jabki use saaf taur par asahaj mehsoos ho raha ho, koi mazaak nahi hai. Uski izzat aur uski marzi ka samman karna chahiye. Teri niyat galat thi toh tujhe usse maafi maangni chahiye.”

Agar ye baat tere ghar tak gayi to?

Ye sunte hi Rahul ki gaand phat gayi..

Rahul_ Bacha le yaar, mera baap meri maa chod dega, agar use pata chala to..

Me_ Tu chutiya si harkat kare gandu, aur me tujhe bachau..

Rahul_ Samaj naa yaar, Bhai bacha le please..

Me_ Tu ab kuchh nhi bolega, bas wahi karega jo me bolunga..

Bhura ab tak chupchaap dekh rha tha, usne mujhe Rahul ko dante dekha to,wo humare pass aaya aur Nandu bhi..

Nandu ne kaha

Nandu_“Jay, humein bas yahi chahiye ki Rahul dobara aisa na kare. Meri maa ne ise samjhaane ki koshish ki thi, lekin isne us baat ko halke mein liya.”

Maine uski taraf dekha.

Me_“Nandu, apni maa ke liye khada hona galat nahi hai. Lekin kisi ko gherkar dhamkaana ya maarne par utar aana bhi theek nahi. 

Tum logon ko apni baat kehne ka haq hai, lekin faisla karne ke liye bheed jama karna sahi tareeka nahi.”

Agar ye baat gaanv me faili to naa tumhare liye achcha hoga naa humare liye..

Nandu_ Isi liye ye baat abhi tak humne apne tak hi rakhi hai

Phir main Rahul ki taraf muda.

Me_“Ab tu Nandu se aur uski maa se maafi maangega. Bina koi bahaana banaaye. Aur aage se apne vyavhaar ka dhyaan rakhega.”

Rahul ne dheere se sir hila diya.

Rahul_“Maaf kar de, Nandu. Mujhe teri maa ko dekhna nhi chahiye tha. aage se aisa nahi hoga.”

Nandu ne turant jawaab nahi diya. Usne apne saathiyon se nazrein milayi, phir kaha.

Nandu_“Maafi to tujhe meri maa se mangani chahiye"

Rahul_ Maang lunga 

Nandu_ "Dekhtey hai tu apni baat par kitna tikta hai.”

Jitendra_ Wo maafi mang rha hai naa..

Bhura_ to ahsan kar rha hai Kyaa..

Maine dono taraf ke ladkon ko shaant rehne ko kaha. 

Me _ Jitendra shant reh baat aur aage mat bada..

Bhura baat yahi khatam ho jani chahiye..

Bhura_ Tumhari wajah se khatam kar rha hun me ye ladai Jay..

Kyunki mere papa Gagan Pahalwan tumhari bahut ijjat karte hai..

Jitendra, jo ab tak Rahul ke saath khada tha, usne bhi maana ki use apne dost ko pehle hi samjha dena chahiye tha..

Jitendra_ Me isko lekar aaunga Nandu ke ghar mafi mangwane..

Ab, Dheere-dheere bheed chhatne lagi.

Bhura aur uske paanch saathi bhi humse thoda dur chale gaye aur aapas me kuch charcha karne lage, lekin jaate waqt usne Rahul se kaha..

Bhura_“Aage se hamare parivaar ke saath tameez se pesh aana. Humein dobara yeh kadam uthaane ki zaroorat na pade.”

Rahul ne koi jawaab nahi diya.

Jab hum teeno chaurahae se hatkar ek taraf aaye, toh maine Rahul ke kandhe par haath rakha.

Me_“Bhosdike wo banjare hai, tujhe kaha gayab kar denge pata bhi nhi chalega, tujhe unke ghar ki hi aaurat dikhi tadne ko.”

Rahul ne udaas hokar kaha

Rahul_“Samajh gaya, bhai. Mujhe apni harkat par sarmindagi mehsoos ho rahi hai, lakin Nandu ki maa hai hi itni mast ak dam kisi mast raand ki tarah, tu dekhta to tu bhi dekhta reh jata use”

Uska badan, uske wo ubhare huye mamme aur mast gaand, Aah kyaa kamal kaa maal hai..

Maine uski taraf dekha aur kaha..

Me_ Bhosdike Abhi abhi maafi mangi tune aur fir wahi harkat, meri baat dhyan se sun“Sirf sharminda hone se kaam nahi chalega. Apna vyavhaar badlana padega tujhe”

Khaskar in banjaro ki aaurato ke prati..

...........

Us din hum teeno saath toh the, lekin mahaul pehle jaisa halka-phulka nahi raha. 

Ek taraf Rahul ki galti thi, doosri taraf Bhura aur uske saathiyon ka gussa.

Mujhe khushi thi ki baat maarpeet tak badhne se pehle shaant ho gayi thi.

Lekin main jaanta tha ki wo chhe Rahul ko pitane hi aaye the, unhe moka nhi mila usse pitane kaa aur isse pahle ki wo use pit pate me waha pahuch gyaa..

Bhura aur uske saathi jaa rhe the, lekin maine unhe ek baar piche se awaaz di.

Me_“Bhura, ek minute rukna.”

Woh palatkar meri taraf dekhne laga.

Me_“Aaj jo hua, use yahin khatam kar dena. tum jis vichar se aaye the, uske liye dobara ise pakadne ki jarurat nhi hai, ye apni galti maan chuka hai, jo hua wo anjane me hua"

Bhura ne kuch pal socha, phir bola..

Bhura_“Theek hai, Jay. Humein bhi ladai badhaane ka shauk nahi hai. Bas apne dost ko samjha dena, ki dobara ye humare gharo ke aaspass najar naa aaye.”

Me_ Nhi aayega.. tum bhi apna wada yaad rakhna..

Bhura ne sir hila diya. Uske saath khade Kaliya aur Mangal bhi ab shaant nazar aa rahe the.

Rahul, Bhura ke pass gyaa..

Rahul_“Bhura, main Nandu ki maa se maafi maangunga.  mera wo irada nhi tha, jo unhone samjha.”

Bhura ne kaha

Bhura_“Achha hoga agar tu apni baat par qayam rahe.” Aur maafi ki jarurat nhi hai, me sambhal lunga..
Koshish karunga tujhe maafi naa mangni pade"

Ye kahte huye Bhura aur uske dost chale gaye..

Unke Jane ke baad..

Maine Jitendra ki taraf dekha..

Me_ “Aur tu? Tujhe bhi kuch kehna hai?”

Jitendra ne sir hilaate hue kaha

Jitendra_“Mujhe Rahul ko pehle hi samjha dena chahiye tha. Shayad ye mamla badta nhi.”

Me_“Bas, phir baat khatam,” 

Chaurahae par bheed khatam ho chuki thi..

Bhura aur uske bande bhi jaa chuke the..

Main Rahul aur Jitendra ko lekar chaurahe se aage badha. hum rahul ki kutia ki aur jaa rhe the..

Thodi door jaakar Rahul ne kaha..

Rahul_“Bhai, aaj tune mujhe sabke saamne bahut kuch suna diya.”

Maine uski taraf dekha.

Me_ Bhosdike tera matter nipatwaya hai mene, agar nhi nipatwata to, wo teri kisi bhi din pitai kar dete, akele me ye Banjare“

Rahul kuch der chup raha, phir halki-si muskaan ke saath bola..

Rahul_“Baat to tum sahi bol rhe ho, lakin uski maa hai badi kamal ki, ak dam mast bade bade mamme, mast kamar aur ubhare huye chuthad.”

Jitendra hans pada. 

Jitendra_“Bhosdike tu nhi sudhrega”

Rahul ne use kohni maari.

Rahul_ “Tu chup reh, saale!”

Un dono ki nok-jhonk sunkar mere chehre par bhi muskaan aa gayi. 

Kuch der pehle jo mahaul tanaav se bhara hua tha, ab woh halka ho chuka tha.

Lekin maine Rahul ko jaate-jaate ek baat aur samjha di....

Me_“Agar aisi situation bani aur tujhe Nandu ki maa se maafi mangani pade, to sun, Bhosdike maafi maangte waqt mayushi mehsus karna. 

Aur aise expression dena ki jese teri koi galti nhi hai, usne hi tujhe galat samjha.”

Rahul ne is baar bina hansi-mazaak ke jawaab diya..

Rahul_“Theek hai, bhai. Main samajh gaya, me bilkul wesa hi karunga.” 

Hum wahi chaurahe ke ak vyavsthit jagah beth kar baatein kar rhe the....

Rahul_ Me naraj hun tujhse Bhai..

Me_ Theek hai ho le naraj..

Jitendra_ Ye to ulta chor kotwal ko dante wali baat ho gayi, Kunwar..

Iss bhosdike ne galti ki fir bhi tumse naraj ho raha hai..

Rahul_ Tujhe bina kuchh jaane mera sath dena chahiye thaa..

Me_ Rahul, mera apna tarika aur apna najariya hai, cheejon ko sambhalne kaa..

Ab tujhe naraz hona hai to ho..

Jitendra_ Gandu hai ye sala, lund theek se khada hota nhi hai aur aaurate chodni hai gandu ko..

Rahul_ Tune lekar dekha kyaa mera?

Jitendra_ Bhosdike mere sath rehta hai har wakt tu, kyaa me tujhe janta nhi hun..

Rahul_ Chal be chutiye..
