Adultery Ruhi a house wife

[Lovewinni22]

Main aata goondh rahi thi jab Shanta bai kitchen mein aa gayi. Usne mujhe ek nazar dekha aur dheere se hasne lagi.
“Arre bhauji… aata goondh rahi ho? Chehra toh ab bhi laal hai. Official pati aa gaye na ghar? Ab kya karogi apne dusre… asli pati ka?”
Mere haath ruk gaye. Main ne uski taraf dekha, aankhein badi ho gayi.
“Shanta bai… chup karo.”
Woh paas aa gayi, awaaz aur dheemi kar ke boli,
“Kyun chup karun? Sach toh sach hota hai. Din bhar jo thhe aapke saath, jo aapko itna soft bana ke gaye… unka kya karogi ab? Official wale ke saamne unka naam bhi nahi le sakti aap. Bahut mushkil ho gaya na bhauji?”
Main ne nazar neeche ki, aata dabaate hue kaha,
“Zyada mat bolo… woh sun lenge.”
Shanta bai ne aankh maari,
“Sun lenge toh sun lein. Main toh bas pooch rahi hoon… ab dono pati ghar mein hain, toh aap kisko priority dogi? Jo aapka naam card pe likha hai, ya jo aapke body pe apna naam likh gaya hai?”
Mera chehra aur laal ho gaya. Main ne soft awaaz mein kaha,
“Shanta bai… please. Aise mat baat karo.”
Woh hasi,
“Aise mat baat karo? Toh kaise baat karun? Ki aap bilkul pure ho? Ki aapke andar ab bhi kisi aur ka ehsaas nahi hai? Bhauji, aapke honth abhi bhi usi kiss ki yaad se soft lag rahe hain. Main jhooth nahi bol rahi.”
Tabhi peeche se awaaz aayi.
“Kya baat chal rahi hai?”
Sunny kitchen mein aa gaya tha. Usne mujhe aur Shanta bai ko dekha.
Main ne turant aata goondhna shuru kar diya, jaise kuch hua hi na ho. Mera dil zor se dhadakne laga.
Shanta bai bilkul natural ho gayi.
“Kuch nahi Sahab… bas bhauji se pooch rahi thi ke aapke aane se pehle ghar kaise manage kiya unhone. Akeli thi na zyada tar.”
Sunny ne mere paas aake kaha,
“Haan, main bhi wahi pooch raha tha. Ruhi, tu bata… itne din kaise kaise guzre?”
Main ne bina uski taraf dekhe kaha,
“Theek guzre… bas normal. Ghar ka kaam, thoda rest.”
Shanta bai ne side se kaha, double meaning ke saath,
“Haan Sahab, bhauji ne bahut acche se manage kiya. Kabhi-kabhi toh itna busy ho jaati thin ke unka chehra hi laal ho jaata tha. Main sochti thi koi badi responsibility aa gayi hogi unpe.”
Mere haath kaamp gaye. Main ne jaldi se kaha,
“Shanta bai… paani garam kar do.”
Sunny hasa,
“Laal chehra? Garmi ki wajah se hoga. Bahar bhi kaafi garmi hai aajkal.”
Shanta bai ne sir hilaya,
“Haan Sahab, garmi hi toh thi. Bahut garmi. Bhauji ko manage karna padta tha. Kabhi-kabhi toh raat mein bhi unki neend kharab ho jaati thi… soch soch ke.”
Main ne uski taraf gusse se dekha, lekin awaaz nahi nikal paayi. Bas itna kaha,
“Bas karo Shanta bai.”
Sunny thoda confuse sa hua,
“Kya soch soch ke? Koi tension thi kya Ruhi?”
Main ne turant jawab diya, awaaz ghabraayi hui,
“Nahi… kuch nahi. Bas aise hi. Kabhi-kabhi neend nahi aati.”
Shanta bai ne phir se double meaning mein kaha,
“Haan Sahab, aise hi. Bhauji ko aadat si ho gayi hai kisi cheez ki. Jo cheez ek baar mil jaaye na… toh uska asar utarta nahi asani se. Main dekh rahi hoon, aapke aane ke baad bhi unka dil kahin aur hi hai.”
Sunny ne meri taraf dekha.
“Ruhi, dil kahin aur hai kya? Tu theek toh hai na?”
Main ne uski aankhon mein dekhne ki koshish ki, lekin nazar jhuk gayi.
“Haan… theek hoon. Shanta bai zyada bol rahi hai. Unhe kaam pe bhejo.”
Shanta bai hasi,
“Main kaam pe hi hoon Sahab. Bas bhauji ki madad kar rahi hoon. Unhe ab do-do responsibility sambhalni padegi… ek official, ek… jo pehle se chal rahi thi.”
Main ne zor se kaha,
“Shanta bai!”
Mera poora chehra laal tha. Main jaanti thi Sunny ko kuch samajh nahi aa raha, lekin Shanta bai ke har lafz mein kaante the.
Sunny ne halki si hasi di,
“Lagta hai tum dono mein koi private joke chal raha hai. Chhodo, main thak gaya hoon. Ruhi, jaldi khana laga dena.”
Woh kitchen se nikalne laga.
Jaate-jaate Shanta bai ne dheere se, sirf mere sunne ke liye kaha,
“Official pati thak ke so jaayenge bhauji… lekin asli wale ka khayal rakhna. Woh kabhi bhi yaad aa sakte hain.”
Main ne aata ke gole ko itna zor se dabaaya ke uski shape bigad gayi.
Mere kaan pak rahe the.
Main ne bas itna kaha, bilkul soft awaaz mein,
“Jaao… abhi.”
Shanta bai haste hue bartan dhoti rahi.
Aur main khadi rahi… sharam se jalti hui,
jaan ti hui ke ab yeh ghar mein do pati ho gaye hain —
ek jo dikhta hai,
aur ek jo mere andar bas gaya hai.
