Scene Continue — Shaam ka waqt

Rahul ne patte phaila diye aur Jitendra ne Jay ki taraf dekhkar hansi rokne ki koshish ki.

Jitendra:
"Jay, ek baat bata... tu do din baad mil raha hai, lekin lag raha hai jaise koi bada mission lekar aaya hai." Aisa kyaa kar rha tha, tu 2 din tak...

Jay:
"Mission-vission kuch nahi hai be. Bas jo baat humne decide ki thi, uska update lene aaya tha."

Me inhe apne jeewan kaa sach nhi batana chahta tha....

Rahul:
"Update toh mil gaya. Lekin ek cheez hai jo tujhe batani thi."

Mene patte neeche rakh diye.

Jay:
"Bol."

Rahul ne aas-paas dekha. Thoda dheere se bola—

Rahul:
"Kal shaam Chaman idhar se ja raha tha."

Jay:
"Yahan?"

Rahul:
"Haan. Akela tha. Lekin thodi der baad woh Vasudha bhabhi ki dukaan wali gali ki taraf chala gaya."

Jitendra:
"Humne bas door se dekha. Peecha nahi kiya."

Jay:
"Usne kuch kiya?"

Rahul:
"Humne kuch aisa directly nahi dekha jisse pakka kaha ja sake. Isi liye main bhi kuch conclusion nahi nikal raha."

Mene sir hilaya.

Jay:
"Sahi kar rahe ho. Humein bas facts dekhne hain, apni taraf se story nahi banani."

Jitendra:
"Waise ek aur baat hai."

Jay:
"Ab kya?"

Jitendra:
"Chaman ka Akash se bhi do-teen baar milna hua hai."

Jay:
"Akash se? Kyun?"

Jitendra:
"Pata nahi. Lekin Akash ki maa ka naam bhi pehle Chaman ki baaton mein aaya tha, isliye humein ajeeb laga."

Rahul ne baat sambhali.

Rahul:
"Lekin Jay, ek cheez yaad rakh. Sirf kisi se milne ka matlab ye nahi ki kuch galat hi ho raha hai."

Jay:
"Exactly."

Me kuch der sochta raha.

Jay:
"Hum teenon ko ek kaam karna chahiye."

Rahul:
"Kya?"

Jay:
"Apne-apne ghar mein normal rehna. Kisi ko unnecessarily daraana nahi. Aur Chaman ke baare mein koi baat tabhi karni jab actual incident ho."

Jitendra:
"Matlab?"

Jay:
"Matlab simple hai. Agar woh kisi aurat ko uncomfortable karta hai, toh uski baat ko ignore nahi karna. Lekin bina proof ke kisi par character ka ilzaam bhi nahi lagana." use chudai karte range haton pakadenge....

Rahul ne Jay ki baat ko support kiya.

Rahul:
"Ye sahi hai."

Tabhi peeche se kuch ladkon ki awaaz aayi—

Ladka:
"Arey Rahul! Tum log game kheloge ya panchayat karte rahoge?"

Jitendra zor se hans pada.

Jitendra:
"Abey aa rahe hain!"

Jay khada hua.

Jay:
"Chal, pehle Saar ki ek baazi."

Rahul:
"Ek?"

Jay:
"Haan."

Jitendra:
"Tu jeet gaya toh ek. Haar gaya toh?"

Jay ne muskura kar kaha—

Jay:
"Phir do."

Teeno hans pade aur wapas game mein lag gaye.

Lekin mere dimaag mein ek baat baar-baar ghoom rahi thi—

Chaman ko lekar shak badh raha tha, lekin sach jaanne ke liye sabr rakhna zaroori tha.

......

Me apne andar ab badlao mehsus kar rha tha...
