Chapter 8: Amal
Kitchen wale us waqaye ke baad karib ek mahina yoon hi beet gaya.
Ghar ke haalaat upar se bilkul saamaanya dikh rahe the, lekin andar hi andar ek khaamosh khinchav paida ho chuka tha. Tauji jab bhi Kavya ke saamne aate, unki aankhon mein ek alag si jhijhak hoti. Aur Kavya... Kavya ne bhi ab Tauji ke saamne apne dupatte ko kaskar baandhna chhod diya tha; vah anjaane mein hi sahi, Tauji ke ird gird apni maujoodgi ko mehsoos karane lagi thi.
Isi beech Kavya ke shehar ke sambhraant ilaake wale boutique ne Pune ke ek Five Star hotel mein apna annual bridal fashion show aayojit kiya.
Kavya ka show zabardast hit raha. Shaam ko hotel ke banquet hall mein ek shaandaar success party rakhi gayi thi. Kavya us shaam kisi apsara jaisi lag rahi thi kaale rang ki bhaari georgette ki designer saadi, sleeveless blouse aur gale mein patli si diamond chain.
Party mein kayi bade businessmen aur ameer models Kavya ke ird gird mandra rahe the. Kuch log uski khoobsurti ki taareef karte hue flirt karne ki koshish bhi kar rahe the. Lekin Kavya har kisi ko apni shaalinta aur thandi muskaan se door rakh rahi thi. Vah apne kaam ko lekar jitni junooni thi, apne charitra ko lekar utni hi kattar thi. Use dekhkar mujhe ek ajeeb sa garv mehsoos hota tha ki yeh bedaag, khoobsurat aurat meri biwi hai.

Safalta ki khushi mein us raat Kavya se ek badi chook ho gayi ya yoon kahen ki maine jaanbujhkar vah chook karwai thi. Kavya waise to sharaab se kosion door hi rehti thi, parties wagairah mein bhi kabhi kisi ke bahut israar karne par bas beer ki do chaar ghoont bhar leti thi. Lekin us raat bade bade clients ke saamne celebration toast ke dauran, maine uske glass mein hard whisky dalwa di. Kavya ko iska andaaza nahi tha; khushi ke mahaul mein usne whisky pi li. Jise halki beer ki bhi aadat na ho, us par kadak whisky ne aisa kahar dhaaya ki thodi hi der mein uska nasha sir chadhkar bolne laga. Mujhe to office ki parties mein peene ki aadat thi, isliye mera dimaag bilkul theek tha, lekin Kavya ki haalat kharab ho chuki thi.
Raat ke karib saadhe gyaarah baje jab hum apni high rise society ke flat par pahunche, to Kavya apne pairon par khadi bhi nahi ho paa rahi thi. Vah poori tarah mere kandhe par jhool rahi thi.
Flat ka darwaza khula to hall mein halki roshni thi. Hamari beti Anu apne kamre mein gehri neend mein so chuki thi. Lekin Tauji sofe par baithe hamara intezaar kar rahe the. Unke haath mein pooja ki kitaab thi.
Jab unhone Kavya ko sharaab ki mehak mein dhut, mere sahaare buri tarah ladkhadaate dekha, to unke chehre par sakht hairaani, chinta aur naaraazgi ki lakeerein khinch gayin. Tauji jaante the ki bahurani kitni shaalinta aur sanskari hai; unhone Kavya ko hamesha saadgi se dekha tha, aur kabhi kisi shaadi party mein bhi usne bamushkil naam maatra ki beer hi chhui thi. Aisi haalat mein Kavya ko dekhna unke liye kisi sadme se kam nahi tha.
"Are Rajesh... itni raat ko? Aur bahurani ko ye kya hua hai? Aisi haalat?" Tauji ne ghabrakar khade hote hue poochha, unki awaaz mein bahu ki fikr saaf chhalak rahi thi.
Maine chehre par pachhtaave aur sharmindagi ka poora naatak rachte hue kaha, "Tauji... saara kusoor mera hi hai. Party mein badi safalta mili to jashn ke josh mein main hi uske liye whisky ka peg le aaya. Kavya to mana kar rahi thi, vo to kisi mehfil mein bas halki beer ki ek ghoont hi leti hai... use to hard drink ki bilkul aadat nahi. Mujhe andaaza nahi tha ki whisky ka itna kadak nasha us par itna bhaari pad jayega. Toast ke chakkar mein usne pi li aur ab hosh mein nahi hai."
Tauji ne raahat aur dukh ki ek mili juli saans li. Unke mann mein bahu ke liye koi mail nahi aaya, balki saara gussa mujh par phootne ko taiyaar tha, "Tu bhi bilkul naadaan hai Rajesh! Jab jaanta hai ki bahu ko in sab cheezon ki aadat nahi hai, to use whisky jaisi kadak cheez kyun di? Dekh, bechari ki kya haalat ho gayi hai!"
"Haan Tauji, mujhse waqai badi galti ho gayi... main ise kamre mein lita deta hoon," maine sir jhukakar kaha aur Kavya ko sambhaalte hue master bedroom ki taraf le gaya.
Tauji ne ek gehri saans chhodi, kitaab band ki aur apne kamre ki taraf chale gaye.
Bedroom mein le jaakar maine Kavya ko bistar par lita diya. Uska bhaari pallu gir chuka tha. Maine uske gehne utaare aur phir uski bhaari saadi aur petticoat ko kholkar kinaare kar diya. Ab Kavya sirf apne halke gulabi rang ke behad patle, paardarshi satin ke sleeveless night suit mein bistar par besudh padi thi. Sharaab ke nashe mein uska gora badan tap raha tha, aur uska seena tezi se upar neeche ho raha tha.
Kavya ko usi haalat mein bistar par chhodkar, maine bedroom ka darwaza karib teen chaar inch khula chhod diya.
Phir main seedha Tauji ke kamre ki taraf badha aur unke darwaze par dastak di.
Tauji abhi sone hi ja rahe the. Unhone darwaza khola, "Haan Rajesh, kya hua?"
Maine apne chehre par ghabraahat ka jhootha maukhda odha, "Tauji, bahut badi museebat ho gayi hai. IT park wale warehouse mein server down ho gaya hai aur Mumbai port se aaye chaar bade container gate par atak gaye hain. Mujhe abhi ke abhi office nikalna padega... shaayad poori raat lag jaye."
Tauji ne fikr se kaha, "Itni raat ko gaadi chalakar jayega? Aur bahu ki to tabiyat bhi theek nahi hai."
"Wahi to Tauji... mujhe Kavya ki hi chinta hai," maine awaaz ko thoda laachaar banaya, "Meri us whisky wali naadani ki wajah se vo besudh padi hai, shaayad raat ko ulti ho jaye ya paani ki zaroorat pad jaye. Please, aap zara us par nazar rakhiyega. Agar uski awaaz aaye to thoda paani de dijiyega. Main subah tak hi laut paunga."
Tauji ne turant haami bhari, "Tu befikr hokar ja beta, gaadi dhyan se chalana. Main hoon na yahan, bahu ka dhyan rakhunga."
"Thank you Tauji."
Main apne flat ka darwaza kheenchkar bahar nikal gaya.
Raat ki sannate bhari sadak par chalte hue, bahar se main shaant dikh raha tha, lekin mere seene ke andar ek khaufnaak toofan chal raha tha. Maine apni jawaan, nashe mein dhut, lagbhag adhnangi biwi ko khule darwaze ke saath ek aise pachaas saal ke pahalwan ke bharose chhod diya tha jiski nasen mahinon se vasna ki aag mein jal rahi thin.
Agar Tauji khud par kaabu nahi rakh paaye to? Agar ve us band kamre mein daakhil ho gaye to?
Poori raat main apne office ke cabin mein baitha chhat ko ghoorhta raha. Mere haath kaanp rahe the. Mera dil baar baar keh raha tha ki gaadi uthakar ghar bhaag jaun, lekin mere andar ka shaitaan keh raha tha nahi, jo hona hai use hone do.
Agli shaam jab main office se ghar lauta, to ghar ka mahaul bilkul shaant tha.
Kavya apne laptop par boutique ke orders dekh rahi thi aur Anu sofe par baithkar cartoon dekh rahi thi. Tauji bhi wahin baithe the.
Kavya ne mujhe dekhkar hamesha ki tarah garmjoshi se chai ke liye poochha, "Rajesh, aa gaye aap? Raat bhar bahut mehnat karni padi na? Baithiye, main chai laati hoon." Kavya ke chehre par koi tanaav nahi tha; vah bilkul saamaanya thi.
Lekin meri nazar jab Tauji par padi, to mera dil zor se dhadka.
Tauji meri aankhon mein aankhen nahi daal pa rahe the. Jaise hi meri nazar unse mili, unhone jhatke se apna munh pher liya. Unka chehra ajeeb tarah se laal tha aur unke maathe par paseene ki bareek boondein thin.
"Tauji... Kavya ko raat mein koi takleef to nahi hui? Ulti wagairah to nahi ki usne?" maine bilkul masoom bankar poochha.
Tauji buri tarah sakpaka gaye. Unki awaaz ladkhadа gayi, "Na... nahi. U ulti to nahi hui. Bas... bas paani maanga tha usne."
Tauji jhooth bolne mein bahut anaadi the. Unki ghabraahat chilla chilla kar keh rahi thi ki kal raat us bedroom mein kuch bahut bada ghata tha.
Us raat, maine khaana khaane ke baad ghadi ki suiyon ko ek ek second aage badhte dekha.
Jab raat ke gyaarah baje poore ghar ki battiyan bujh gayin aur sannata chha gaya, tab main chupchaap apne study room mein baitha. Mere haath paseene se bheege hue the.
Maine apne laptop ka password daala aur kal raat ki hidden camera ki recording par click kar diya.
Chapter 9: Kashmakash
Study room mein sirf mere laptop ki neeli roshni chamak rahi thi.
Poore flat mein sannata tha. Kavya aur Anu apne apne kamron mein so rahi thin, aur Tauji bhi apne kamre mein the. Meri hatheliyon mein paseena aa raha tha aur dil ki dhadkanen itni tez thin ki mere kaanon mein dhuk dhuk ki awaaz goonj rahi thi.
Maine mouse se click karke kal raat karib saadhe baarah baje ki recording play kar di.
Shuruaat ke ek ghante tak screen par kuch khaas nahi hua. Master bedroom mein khidki se aati halki chaandni mein Kavya bistar par besudh padi thi. Uska satin ka night suit uske badan se chipka hua tha aur uske gore haath pair phaile hue the.
Phir, raat ke karib paune do baje, Kavya ne bistar par karwat badli.
Nashe ki wajah se uska gala sookh raha tha aur uska sir ghoom raha tha. Usne apne dono haath apne pet par rakhe aur karaahate hue ultiyan karne ki koshish karne lagi. Uske munh se behad dheemi, bebas awaaz nikli "Rajesh... paani... Rajesh..."
Us ek pal mein mere seene mein ek dardnaak tees uthi. Itni gehri besudhi mein bhi, us andhi haalat mein bhi, jis pehle insaan ka naam usne pukara tha, vah main tha uska pati. Kavya mujhse kitni sachchi mohabbat karti thi, iska saboot us sannate mein goonj raha tha.
Lekin agle hi pal, hall wale camera mein halchal hui.
Kavya ki karaah sunkar Tauji ki aankh khul gayi thi. Ve apne kamre se bahar nikle. Unhone safed baniyan aur ghutnon tak bandhi dhoti pehan rakhi thi. Unhe laga ki shaayad bahu ko sach mein ulti hone wali hai, isliye ve fauran common bathroom ki taraf daude aur wahan se plastic ka ek tub utha liya.
Tauji tezi se master bedroom ke aadhe khule darwaze ki taraf badhe.
Lekin jaise hi unhone darwaza poora dhakela aur kamre ke andar kadam rakha, ve chaukhat par hi aise jam gaye jaise kisi ne un par bijli gira di ho.
Kamre ki mand roshni mein, unke theek saamne unki jawaan, roopvati bahu bistar par lagbhag adhnangi padi thi. Kavya ki gehri chhaati, uski patli kamar aur uski gori, nangi taangen chaadar se bahar phaili hui thin. Sharaab ke nashe mein uska poora badan tap raha tha aur uski saansen tezi se chal rahi thin.
Pachpan saal ke us boodhe pahalwan ne apni zindagi mein kabhi kisi aurat ka aisa khula, madhosh kar dene wala roop nahi dekha tha. Tauji haath mein tub pakde kam se kam bees second tak bina palak jhapkaye us bistar ko ghoorhte rahe. Unka munh khula reh gaya tha.
![[Image: img-01465-cleaned.png]](https://i.ibb.co/tw491cX1/img-01465-cleaned.png)
Tabhi Kavya ne phir se ulti karne ke liye apna sir bed ke kinaare ki taraf latkaya, "Uf... Rajesh..."
Us awaaz ne Tauji ko hosh mein la diya. Ve maryaada ki dor se bandhe the. Unhone turant apni nazrein churane ki koshish ki aur daudkar bed ke paas pahunche. Unhone tub Kavya ke munh ke neeche laga diya.
Kavya sirf sookhi ultiyan kar rahi thi, pet mein kuch tha nahi. Tauji chahte the ki uski peeth sehlayen, lekin ek parayi, jawaan aurat ke nange badan ko chhoone ki himmat ve nahi juta pa rahe the.
Kavya jab ultiyan karne ke liye aage jhuki, to uske night suit ka dheela gala poora khul gaya. Uski gori chhaati Tauji ki jalti hui aankhon ke theek saamne thi. Tauji ki saansen ukhad gayin. Unka seena dhaunkni ki tarah chalne laga.
Aur tabhi, screen par mujhe vah cheez dikhi jisne mera khoon khaula diya Tauji ki dheeli dhoti ke andar ek zabardast ubhaar ban chuka tha. Unka aath inchi pahalwan hathiyaar apni poori taakat se tanakar dhoti ko tamboo ki tarah uthaye hua tha.
Kavya kuch der tadapne ke baad besudh hokar wapas takiye par gir gayi.
Tauji tub lekar kaanpte pairon se bahar nikle. Unhone bathroom mein jaakar tub rakha aur nal se apne munh par thande paani ke chheente maare.
Lekin jab ve bathroom se bahar aaye, to ve apne kamre mein nahi gaye. Ve hall mein bedroom ke darwaze ke saamne khade ho gaye.
Unke chehre par jo jung chal rahi thi, vah camera mein saaf dikh rahi thi. Ek taraf unka pachaas saal ka imaan, unki maryaada aur unki izzat thi... aur doosri taraf us kamre mein soyi hui us jawaan aurat ki deh ki vah nasheeli khushbu jo unke dimaag ko paagal kar rahi thi.
Tauji ke kadam khud ba khud wapas bedroom ki taraf badh gaye.
Ve dabe paanv dobara bistar ke paas aakar khade ho gaye. Unhone apni bhookhi, pyaasi nazron se Kavya ke sote hue badan ko upar se neeche tak dekha. Phir, Tauji ne apna bhaari, khuradra daayaan haath dheere dheere aage badhaya.
Unka haath buri tarah kaanp raha tha. Ve Kavya ki us khuli, gori chhaati ko chhoona chahte the. Unki ungliyan Kavya ke badan se mushkil se do inch ki doori par thin.
Meri saansen atak gayin. Main screen par apni aankhen gadaaye baitha tha, dil kar raha tha ki cheekh padun chhoo lo Tauji! Chhoo lo use!
Lekin theek usi aakhri second mein, jab unki ungliyan Kavya ki twacha se takrane hi wali thin, Tauji achanak ruk gaye.
Unke chehre par ek bhayanak aatmglani aur dard ki lakeerein khinch gayin. Unhone jhatke se apna haath peeche kheench liya, apni aankhen kaskar band kin aur haanpte hue peeche mud gaye.
Ve tezi se kamre se bahar nikle. Aur hall mein aakar, apni hi deh se nafrat karte hue, Tauji ne apne gaal par do zordaar thappad maare chataak! Chataak!
Thappadon ki goonj mere headphone mein saaf sunai di. Tauji ne khud ko us paap ke liye saza di thi jo unke dimaag mein chal raha tha.
Unhone ek lambi, bhaari saans chhodi, bedroom ka darwaza dheere se poora band kar diya aur ladkhadaate kadmon se apne kamre mein chale gaye.
Apne kamre mein jaakar Tauji ne apni dhoti utaar phenki. Unka vah vishaal, kaala aur nason se bhara hathiyaar ab bhi patthar ki tarah khada tha. Tauji apni khaat par baithe aur apni aankhen band karke paagalon ki tarah use sehlane lage. Ve apne munh se dheemi siskariyon mein bhagwan se maafi maang rahe the, lekin unka haath ruk nahi raha tha. Karib pandrah minute baad, unhone safed veerya ki ek bhaari dhaar chhodi aur haanpte hue bistar par gir pade.
Maine apne study room mein laptop ki screen band kar di.
Mere kamre mein andhera tha, lekin mere dimaag mein sab kuch sheeshe ki tarah saaf ho chuka tha.
Tauji toot rahe the. Unki maryaada ki jo deewar dashkon se khadi thi, usme aaj ek bahut badi darar pad chuki thi. Aaj ve ruk gaye the... lekin kab tak?
Ek pyaasa sher kab tak shikaar ko dekhkar sirf paani peekar laut sakta tha? Bas ek aur mauka... aur yeh deewar hamesha ke liye dhah jayegi.
Chapter 10: Jalan
Maine kaanpte haathon se laptop ki screen band kar di.
Meri hatheliyon mein paseena tarbatar tha. Maine tissue paper se apna maatha aur haath ponchhe.
Bhale hi kal raat Tauji ne Kavya ke us khule, madhosh jism ko haath nahi lagaya tha, lekin sirf us recording ko dekhne bhar se mere nason mein jo khoon dauda tha, usne mujhe bheetar tak hilakar rakh diya tha.
Aaj subah jab naashte ki mez par Tauji ki nazrein baar baar zameen par tik rahi thin, to mujhe samajh aa gaya tha ki unke andar kya chal raha tha. Apne anaath bhatije ki amaanat par nazar daalne ka bhayanak paap bodh unke chehre par saaf jhalak raha tha. Kavya ke us gore, khule badan ne us pachpan saal ke boodhe ke andar ki soi hui hawas ko jaga diya tha.
Lekin Tauji par gussa aane ke bajaye, mere dil mein unke liye ek ajeeb si izzat paida ho gayi thi. Sach to yeh hai ki us haalaat mein, jab Kavya jaisi haseen aur jawaan aurat lagbhag adhnangi saamne padi ho, to kisi bhi mard ka imaan dol jaana laazmi tha. Lekin Tauji ne khud se jung ladi, apne chehre par do thappad maare aur maryaada ki seema nahi laanghi. Unke us aatm niyantran ne saabit kar diya tha ki ve koi sadak chhaap lampat nahi, balki usoolon wale faulaadi mard the.
Aur yahi baat mere plan ke liye sabse mufeed thi. Tauji ke maanasik kile ki pehli deewar mein darar pad chuki thi. Yeh aisa khel tha jise jaldbaazi mein nahi khela ja sakta tha; ise dheemi aanch par pakaana tha.
Jab tak main koi galti nahi karunga, paase waise hi padenge jaisa main chaahunga.
Lekin sirf Tauji ke mann mein darar daalna kaafi nahi tha. Ab mujhe Kavya par kaam karna tha.
Laptop band karne ke baad bhi meri jaanghon ke beech ek ajeeb si bechaini thi. Main master bedroom mein aakar Kavya ke bagal mein let gaya. Kavya gehri neend mein so rahi thi. Maine apna baayaan haath uski patli kamar par rakha aur dheere dheere uske gol, ubhre hue hips ko sehlane laga.
Jaise hi main aage badhne wala tha, mere dimaag mein khatre ki ghanti baji.
Maine jhatke se apna haath peeche kheench liya.
Mujhe ek bahut badi baat samajh mein aa gayi thi. Aaj se lekar jab tak mera yeh poora plan kaamyab nahi ho jaata, main Kavya ke saath kisi bhi tarah ka jismani talluq nahi banaunga. Mujhe uske saath bistar par har tarah ka romance aur sex poori tarah band karna hoga.
Agar main uski jismani bhookh mitaata raha, to vah kabhi bahar ki taraf nahi dekhegi. Mujhe Kavya ki us jawaan, tapti hui deh ko pyaasa rakhna tha. Jab uski jismani talab ek hadd tak pahunchegi aur andar hi andar ghutegi, tabhi vah kisi gair mard ki mardaangi ki taraf aakarshit hogi.
Maine apni lungi ke andar apne us sust, bejaan pade ang ko dekha aur thandi saans bhari, "Dost, aane wale kuch hafte tumhare liye bahut kade hone wale hain."
Main washroom gaya aur raat ki us recording ki garmi ko yaad karte hue khud ko shaant kiya. Mere seene mein Tauji aur Kavya ko ek hote dekhne ki talab ab kisi lat ki tarah badhti ja rahi thi.
Din apni raftaar se beetne lage.
Hafte bhar ke andar Tauji ke chehre ka vah shuruaati apraadh bodh dheere dheere kam hone laga aur ve saamaanya dikhne lage. Lekin ek bahut bada badlaav aa chuka tha ab ve Kavya se apni nazrein nahi churate the.
Jab main office ke liye nikal jaata, to Tauji sofe par baithkar ya balcony mein khade hokar Kavya ko chupke chupke ghoorhte the. Subah jab Kavya patli nighty ya bina aasteen wale kurte mein jhukkar jhaadu lagati ya kitchen ka slab ponchhti, to Tauji ki bhookhi aankhen uske hips ki lachak, uski nangi kamar aur uski gehri chhaati ko aise peete thin jaise koi pyaasa sadiyon baad paani dekh raha ho.
Raat ki recordings mein maine notice kiya ki Tauji ke kamre mein tissue papers ka istemaal badh gaya tha. Ve ab pehle se kahin zyada baar apni mutthi mein us aath inchi hathiyaar ko ragad rahe the.
Tauji ke dil mein aag sulag chuki thi. Ab baari Kavya ki thi.
Itne mein raajya sthapna divas aur weekend ki lambi chhutti aa gayi. IT park ke mere jaise vyast corporate worker ke liye yeh ek bahut bada mauka tha. Maine Tauji aur Kavya ko lekar ek din ki trip par jaane ka faisla kiya. Beti Anu ko humne uski college ki weekend art aur craft workshop mein chhod diya tha, taaki vah din bhar apni saheliyon ke saath maje kare.
Hum teenon apni sedan car se Pavna Lake ke kinaare ek shaant, khoobsurat resort ki taraf nikal pade. Mere kaam ki fitrat aisi thi ki chhutti ke din bhi mere kandhe par office ka laptop bag latka rehta tha.
Jheel ke kinaare ka nazaara behad dilkash tha. Thandi hawa chal rahi thi aur paani ki lehrein pattharon se takra rahi thin.
Kavya aaj ek behad khoobsurat, gehre hare rang ki georgette ki dress pehne hui thi. Vah dress uske ghutnon se theek upar khatam ho rahi thi, jisse uski gori, chikni aur taraashi hui taangen poori tarah numaya ho rahi thin. Upar ka gala gehra V neck tha, jisme se uski bhari hui gori chhaati ka cleavage dhoop mein chamak raha tha. Kavya ka mood bahut badhiya tha, aur vah bahut kam maukon par itne dilkash aur khule kapde pehanti thi.
Vah kisi pari jaisi lag rahi thi. Jheel ke kinaare tehalte kayi doosre mard use mud mudkar dekh rahe the. Apni biwi ko doosron ki hawas bhari nazron ka shikaar bante dekhkar mere seene mein ek vikrit sa garv mehsoos ho raha tha.
Kavya nange pair paani ki lehron mein daud rahi thi, kabhi jhukkar seepiyan uthati, to kabhi hawa mein apne khule baalon ko lehraati.
Tauji, jo apne poore jeevan mein Haryana ke sookhe kheton aur akhadon mein hi rahe the, pehli baar kisi jheel ke aise khoobsurat kinaare par aaye the. Ve apni safed dhoti ko thoda upar uthaye, chaudhi aankhen kiye us paani aur us khuli hawa ko aise dekh rahe the jaise koi pehli baar kisi ajube ko dekhta hai.
Tabhi mere phone ki ghanti baji. Singapore ke regional director ka call tha agle hafte ki logistics performance report ka review karna tha.
Mujhe wahin ret par ek bade patthar ki chhaanv mein baithna pada, bag se laptop nikala aur Excel sheets par kaam shuru kar diya.
Kavya paani mein khelte khelte thodi thak gayi thi. Vah khilkhilaati hui meri taraf daudi aayi. Uski hari dress hawa mein ud rahi thi aur uske chehre par paseene ki bareek boondein motiyon jaisi chamak rahi thin. Vah mere paas aakar ukdun baith gayi aur usne dono haathon se mere laptop ke keyboard par halki si ret chhidak di.
"Kavya, kya kar rahi ho yaar!" maine screen ko bachaate hue sir hilaya, "Dekh nahi rahi ho, office ka zaroori kaam hai."
Kavya ne apni dono hatheliyan apni kamar par tika lin aur munh phulakar honth bahar nikaal liye, "Dhatt! Har waqt sirf kaam, kaam aur kaam! Rajesh, itne dinon baad hum bahar nikle hain. Thoda sa waqt mere saath bitao na... please?"
Kavya bahar ki duniya ke liye ek bahut suljhi hui, sanjeeda boutique owner thi, lekin mere aur Tauji ke saamne vah apni saari jhijhak bhoolkar ekdum chanchal aur khilandad ban jaati thi.
"Are Kavya, samjho na, ye report agar abhi submit nahi ki to Monday ko poora schedule bigad jayega," maine rookhepan ka naatak kiya.
"Hoon... aapko sirf apni files ki parwah hai, meri koi kadr hi nahi hai! Main ab aapse baat hi nahi karungi!" Kavya ret par hi pair patak kar baith gayi, apni aankhon ko apni hatheliyon se aise malne lagi jaise sach mein rone wali ho.
Tees saal ki umar mein bhi uski yeh masoom, nakhreeli ada dekhkar Tauji bhi thode faasle par khade hokar apni moonchon mein muskura rahe the.
Yahi vah sahi mauka tha.
Maine apne laptop bag ki androoni zip kholi aur usme se laal makhmal ka ek chhota sa box nikala. Yeh box maine do din pehle hi khareeda tha. Jab hamari shaadi hui thi, tab mere paas asli heere ki anguthi khareedne ki aukaat nahi thi. Is timahi mein mujhe do lakh rupaye ka bhaari corporate incentive mila tha, aur maine usme se dedh lakh rupaye ki ek solitaire diamond ring Kavya ke liye li thi.
Maine us laal makhmalI dibbi se Kavya ke sir par halke se thapki di.
"Achha baba, nautanki band karo. Zara aankhen kholo aur dekho kya laaya hoon."
Kavya ne ungliyon ke beech se jhaanka, uska rona pal bhar mein gaayab ho gaya. Usne jhatke se dibbi chheen li aur apni hatheli par rakh li.
Jaise hi usne box ka dhakkan khola, dopahar ki dhoop mein us chamchamaate heere ki chamak uski aankhon mein utar gayi. Kavya ka poora badan khushi aur ehsaanmandi se kaanp utha.
"Oh my God... Rajesh!" usne cheekhte hue mujhe apni baanhon mein bhar liya aur mere gaal par ek bahut gehra, geela kiss kar diya, "Thank you so much! I love you... I love you so much!"
Achanak use yaad aaya ki Tauji wahin kuch doori par khade hain. Kavya ka chehra ekdum se sharm se laal ho gaya. Usne jhepte hue mujhe chhoda aur apne dupatte ko theek kiya.
Lekin uski khushi itni bekaabu thi ki vah apni jagah par khadi ho gayi aur usne apna daayaan haath mere aage phaila diya, "Rajesh, main chahti hoon ki aap mujhe theek waise hi propose karein jaise filmon mein karte hain... ek baar phir se!"
Kavya ke chehre ki vah deewangi dekhkar Tauji aur main dono hans pade.
Mere paas koi chaara nahi tha. Main ret par ek ghutne ke bal baith gaya, vah heere ki anguthi apne haath mein uthai aur filmi andaaz mein kaha, "Kavya, kya tum mujhse dobara shaadi karogi?"
Kavya ne apni gardan tedhi ki, thodi der sochne ka naatak kiya aur phir hanste hue kaha, "Hmmm... jab itne pyaar se poochh rahe ho, to haan, main taiyaar hoon!"
Maine dheere se vah thandi, chamkili anguthi uski a ring finger mein pehna di. Phir main khada hua aur uska haath apne haath mein lekar hum dono us sunahri ret par jheel ke kinaare kinaare aage badhne lage.
Tauji peeche akele khade the.
Maine mudkar ek nazar chupke se Tauji ki taraf dekha.
Tauji ke chehre par ab vah muskaan nahi thi. Unka poora badan kisi khambhe ki tarah sakht ho chuka tha. Unki dono mutthiyan unke kurte ke neeche itni kaskar bhinchi hui thin ki unki nasen ubhar aayi thin.
Kavya ka vah haseen, roopvati jism... uske us naazuk, gore gaal par mera kiss... aur hamari vah khuli, bebaak mohabbat.
Us pachpan saal ke kunware, bhookhe mard ke seene mein is waqt ek aisi jaanleva jalan, ek aisi bhayanak tadap aur laachaari ki aag dhadhak rahi thi ki uski aankhen laal ho chuki thin. Tauji ka dil jalkar raakh ho raha tha.
Us ek pal mein mujhe apni jeet ka poora yakeen ho gaya.
Kitchen wale us waqaye ke baad karib ek mahina yoon hi beet gaya.
Ghar ke haalaat upar se bilkul saamaanya dikh rahe the, lekin andar hi andar ek khaamosh khinchav paida ho chuka tha. Tauji jab bhi Kavya ke saamne aate, unki aankhon mein ek alag si jhijhak hoti. Aur Kavya... Kavya ne bhi ab Tauji ke saamne apne dupatte ko kaskar baandhna chhod diya tha; vah anjaane mein hi sahi, Tauji ke ird gird apni maujoodgi ko mehsoos karane lagi thi.
Isi beech Kavya ke shehar ke sambhraant ilaake wale boutique ne Pune ke ek Five Star hotel mein apna annual bridal fashion show aayojit kiya.
Kavya ka show zabardast hit raha. Shaam ko hotel ke banquet hall mein ek shaandaar success party rakhi gayi thi. Kavya us shaam kisi apsara jaisi lag rahi thi kaale rang ki bhaari georgette ki designer saadi, sleeveless blouse aur gale mein patli si diamond chain.
Party mein kayi bade businessmen aur ameer models Kavya ke ird gird mandra rahe the. Kuch log uski khoobsurti ki taareef karte hue flirt karne ki koshish bhi kar rahe the. Lekin Kavya har kisi ko apni shaalinta aur thandi muskaan se door rakh rahi thi. Vah apne kaam ko lekar jitni junooni thi, apne charitra ko lekar utni hi kattar thi. Use dekhkar mujhe ek ajeeb sa garv mehsoos hota tha ki yeh bedaag, khoobsurat aurat meri biwi hai.
Safalta ki khushi mein us raat Kavya se ek badi chook ho gayi ya yoon kahen ki maine jaanbujhkar vah chook karwai thi. Kavya waise to sharaab se kosion door hi rehti thi, parties wagairah mein bhi kabhi kisi ke bahut israar karne par bas beer ki do chaar ghoont bhar leti thi. Lekin us raat bade bade clients ke saamne celebration toast ke dauran, maine uske glass mein hard whisky dalwa di. Kavya ko iska andaaza nahi tha; khushi ke mahaul mein usne whisky pi li. Jise halki beer ki bhi aadat na ho, us par kadak whisky ne aisa kahar dhaaya ki thodi hi der mein uska nasha sir chadhkar bolne laga. Mujhe to office ki parties mein peene ki aadat thi, isliye mera dimaag bilkul theek tha, lekin Kavya ki haalat kharab ho chuki thi.
Raat ke karib saadhe gyaarah baje jab hum apni high rise society ke flat par pahunche, to Kavya apne pairon par khadi bhi nahi ho paa rahi thi. Vah poori tarah mere kandhe par jhool rahi thi.
Flat ka darwaza khula to hall mein halki roshni thi. Hamari beti Anu apne kamre mein gehri neend mein so chuki thi. Lekin Tauji sofe par baithe hamara intezaar kar rahe the. Unke haath mein pooja ki kitaab thi.
Jab unhone Kavya ko sharaab ki mehak mein dhut, mere sahaare buri tarah ladkhadaate dekha, to unke chehre par sakht hairaani, chinta aur naaraazgi ki lakeerein khinch gayin. Tauji jaante the ki bahurani kitni shaalinta aur sanskari hai; unhone Kavya ko hamesha saadgi se dekha tha, aur kabhi kisi shaadi party mein bhi usne bamushkil naam maatra ki beer hi chhui thi. Aisi haalat mein Kavya ko dekhna unke liye kisi sadme se kam nahi tha.
"Are Rajesh... itni raat ko? Aur bahurani ko ye kya hua hai? Aisi haalat?" Tauji ne ghabrakar khade hote hue poochha, unki awaaz mein bahu ki fikr saaf chhalak rahi thi.
Maine chehre par pachhtaave aur sharmindagi ka poora naatak rachte hue kaha, "Tauji... saara kusoor mera hi hai. Party mein badi safalta mili to jashn ke josh mein main hi uske liye whisky ka peg le aaya. Kavya to mana kar rahi thi, vo to kisi mehfil mein bas halki beer ki ek ghoont hi leti hai... use to hard drink ki bilkul aadat nahi. Mujhe andaaza nahi tha ki whisky ka itna kadak nasha us par itna bhaari pad jayega. Toast ke chakkar mein usne pi li aur ab hosh mein nahi hai."
Tauji ne raahat aur dukh ki ek mili juli saans li. Unke mann mein bahu ke liye koi mail nahi aaya, balki saara gussa mujh par phootne ko taiyaar tha, "Tu bhi bilkul naadaan hai Rajesh! Jab jaanta hai ki bahu ko in sab cheezon ki aadat nahi hai, to use whisky jaisi kadak cheez kyun di? Dekh, bechari ki kya haalat ho gayi hai!"
"Haan Tauji, mujhse waqai badi galti ho gayi... main ise kamre mein lita deta hoon," maine sir jhukakar kaha aur Kavya ko sambhaalte hue master bedroom ki taraf le gaya.
Tauji ne ek gehri saans chhodi, kitaab band ki aur apne kamre ki taraf chale gaye.
Bedroom mein le jaakar maine Kavya ko bistar par lita diya. Uska bhaari pallu gir chuka tha. Maine uske gehne utaare aur phir uski bhaari saadi aur petticoat ko kholkar kinaare kar diya. Ab Kavya sirf apne halke gulabi rang ke behad patle, paardarshi satin ke sleeveless night suit mein bistar par besudh padi thi. Sharaab ke nashe mein uska gora badan tap raha tha, aur uska seena tezi se upar neeche ho raha tha.
Kavya ko usi haalat mein bistar par chhodkar, maine bedroom ka darwaza karib teen chaar inch khula chhod diya.
Phir main seedha Tauji ke kamre ki taraf badha aur unke darwaze par dastak di.
Tauji abhi sone hi ja rahe the. Unhone darwaza khola, "Haan Rajesh, kya hua?"
Maine apne chehre par ghabraahat ka jhootha maukhda odha, "Tauji, bahut badi museebat ho gayi hai. IT park wale warehouse mein server down ho gaya hai aur Mumbai port se aaye chaar bade container gate par atak gaye hain. Mujhe abhi ke abhi office nikalna padega... shaayad poori raat lag jaye."
Tauji ne fikr se kaha, "Itni raat ko gaadi chalakar jayega? Aur bahu ki to tabiyat bhi theek nahi hai."
"Wahi to Tauji... mujhe Kavya ki hi chinta hai," maine awaaz ko thoda laachaar banaya, "Meri us whisky wali naadani ki wajah se vo besudh padi hai, shaayad raat ko ulti ho jaye ya paani ki zaroorat pad jaye. Please, aap zara us par nazar rakhiyega. Agar uski awaaz aaye to thoda paani de dijiyega. Main subah tak hi laut paunga."
Tauji ne turant haami bhari, "Tu befikr hokar ja beta, gaadi dhyan se chalana. Main hoon na yahan, bahu ka dhyan rakhunga."
"Thank you Tauji."
Main apne flat ka darwaza kheenchkar bahar nikal gaya.
Raat ki sannate bhari sadak par chalte hue, bahar se main shaant dikh raha tha, lekin mere seene ke andar ek khaufnaak toofan chal raha tha. Maine apni jawaan, nashe mein dhut, lagbhag adhnangi biwi ko khule darwaze ke saath ek aise pachaas saal ke pahalwan ke bharose chhod diya tha jiski nasen mahinon se vasna ki aag mein jal rahi thin.
Agar Tauji khud par kaabu nahi rakh paaye to? Agar ve us band kamre mein daakhil ho gaye to?
Poori raat main apne office ke cabin mein baitha chhat ko ghoorhta raha. Mere haath kaanp rahe the. Mera dil baar baar keh raha tha ki gaadi uthakar ghar bhaag jaun, lekin mere andar ka shaitaan keh raha tha nahi, jo hona hai use hone do.
Agli shaam jab main office se ghar lauta, to ghar ka mahaul bilkul shaant tha.
Kavya apne laptop par boutique ke orders dekh rahi thi aur Anu sofe par baithkar cartoon dekh rahi thi. Tauji bhi wahin baithe the.
Kavya ne mujhe dekhkar hamesha ki tarah garmjoshi se chai ke liye poochha, "Rajesh, aa gaye aap? Raat bhar bahut mehnat karni padi na? Baithiye, main chai laati hoon." Kavya ke chehre par koi tanaav nahi tha; vah bilkul saamaanya thi.
Lekin meri nazar jab Tauji par padi, to mera dil zor se dhadka.
Tauji meri aankhon mein aankhen nahi daal pa rahe the. Jaise hi meri nazar unse mili, unhone jhatke se apna munh pher liya. Unka chehra ajeeb tarah se laal tha aur unke maathe par paseene ki bareek boondein thin.
"Tauji... Kavya ko raat mein koi takleef to nahi hui? Ulti wagairah to nahi ki usne?" maine bilkul masoom bankar poochha.
Tauji buri tarah sakpaka gaye. Unki awaaz ladkhadа gayi, "Na... nahi. U ulti to nahi hui. Bas... bas paani maanga tha usne."
Tauji jhooth bolne mein bahut anaadi the. Unki ghabraahat chilla chilla kar keh rahi thi ki kal raat us bedroom mein kuch bahut bada ghata tha.
Us raat, maine khaana khaane ke baad ghadi ki suiyon ko ek ek second aage badhte dekha.
Jab raat ke gyaarah baje poore ghar ki battiyan bujh gayin aur sannata chha gaya, tab main chupchaap apne study room mein baitha. Mere haath paseene se bheege hue the.
Maine apne laptop ka password daala aur kal raat ki hidden camera ki recording par click kar diya.
Chapter 9: Kashmakash
Study room mein sirf mere laptop ki neeli roshni chamak rahi thi.
Poore flat mein sannata tha. Kavya aur Anu apne apne kamron mein so rahi thin, aur Tauji bhi apne kamre mein the. Meri hatheliyon mein paseena aa raha tha aur dil ki dhadkanen itni tez thin ki mere kaanon mein dhuk dhuk ki awaaz goonj rahi thi.
Maine mouse se click karke kal raat karib saadhe baarah baje ki recording play kar di.
Shuruaat ke ek ghante tak screen par kuch khaas nahi hua. Master bedroom mein khidki se aati halki chaandni mein Kavya bistar par besudh padi thi. Uska satin ka night suit uske badan se chipka hua tha aur uske gore haath pair phaile hue the.
Phir, raat ke karib paune do baje, Kavya ne bistar par karwat badli.
Nashe ki wajah se uska gala sookh raha tha aur uska sir ghoom raha tha. Usne apne dono haath apne pet par rakhe aur karaahate hue ultiyan karne ki koshish karne lagi. Uske munh se behad dheemi, bebas awaaz nikli "Rajesh... paani... Rajesh..."
Us ek pal mein mere seene mein ek dardnaak tees uthi. Itni gehri besudhi mein bhi, us andhi haalat mein bhi, jis pehle insaan ka naam usne pukara tha, vah main tha uska pati. Kavya mujhse kitni sachchi mohabbat karti thi, iska saboot us sannate mein goonj raha tha.
Lekin agle hi pal, hall wale camera mein halchal hui.
Kavya ki karaah sunkar Tauji ki aankh khul gayi thi. Ve apne kamre se bahar nikle. Unhone safed baniyan aur ghutnon tak bandhi dhoti pehan rakhi thi. Unhe laga ki shaayad bahu ko sach mein ulti hone wali hai, isliye ve fauran common bathroom ki taraf daude aur wahan se plastic ka ek tub utha liya.
Tauji tezi se master bedroom ke aadhe khule darwaze ki taraf badhe.
Lekin jaise hi unhone darwaza poora dhakela aur kamre ke andar kadam rakha, ve chaukhat par hi aise jam gaye jaise kisi ne un par bijli gira di ho.
Kamre ki mand roshni mein, unke theek saamne unki jawaan, roopvati bahu bistar par lagbhag adhnangi padi thi. Kavya ki gehri chhaati, uski patli kamar aur uski gori, nangi taangen chaadar se bahar phaili hui thin. Sharaab ke nashe mein uska poora badan tap raha tha aur uski saansen tezi se chal rahi thin.
Pachpan saal ke us boodhe pahalwan ne apni zindagi mein kabhi kisi aurat ka aisa khula, madhosh kar dene wala roop nahi dekha tha. Tauji haath mein tub pakde kam se kam bees second tak bina palak jhapkaye us bistar ko ghoorhte rahe. Unka munh khula reh gaya tha.
Tabhi Kavya ne phir se ulti karne ke liye apna sir bed ke kinaare ki taraf latkaya, "Uf... Rajesh..."
Us awaaz ne Tauji ko hosh mein la diya. Ve maryaada ki dor se bandhe the. Unhone turant apni nazrein churane ki koshish ki aur daudkar bed ke paas pahunche. Unhone tub Kavya ke munh ke neeche laga diya.
Kavya sirf sookhi ultiyan kar rahi thi, pet mein kuch tha nahi. Tauji chahte the ki uski peeth sehlayen, lekin ek parayi, jawaan aurat ke nange badan ko chhoone ki himmat ve nahi juta pa rahe the.
Kavya jab ultiyan karne ke liye aage jhuki, to uske night suit ka dheela gala poora khul gaya. Uski gori chhaati Tauji ki jalti hui aankhon ke theek saamne thi. Tauji ki saansen ukhad gayin. Unka seena dhaunkni ki tarah chalne laga.
Aur tabhi, screen par mujhe vah cheez dikhi jisne mera khoon khaula diya Tauji ki dheeli dhoti ke andar ek zabardast ubhaar ban chuka tha. Unka aath inchi pahalwan hathiyaar apni poori taakat se tanakar dhoti ko tamboo ki tarah uthaye hua tha.
Kavya kuch der tadapne ke baad besudh hokar wapas takiye par gir gayi.
Tauji tub lekar kaanpte pairon se bahar nikle. Unhone bathroom mein jaakar tub rakha aur nal se apne munh par thande paani ke chheente maare.
Lekin jab ve bathroom se bahar aaye, to ve apne kamre mein nahi gaye. Ve hall mein bedroom ke darwaze ke saamne khade ho gaye.
Unke chehre par jo jung chal rahi thi, vah camera mein saaf dikh rahi thi. Ek taraf unka pachaas saal ka imaan, unki maryaada aur unki izzat thi... aur doosri taraf us kamre mein soyi hui us jawaan aurat ki deh ki vah nasheeli khushbu jo unke dimaag ko paagal kar rahi thi.
Tauji ke kadam khud ba khud wapas bedroom ki taraf badh gaye.
Ve dabe paanv dobara bistar ke paas aakar khade ho gaye. Unhone apni bhookhi, pyaasi nazron se Kavya ke sote hue badan ko upar se neeche tak dekha. Phir, Tauji ne apna bhaari, khuradra daayaan haath dheere dheere aage badhaya.
Unka haath buri tarah kaanp raha tha. Ve Kavya ki us khuli, gori chhaati ko chhoona chahte the. Unki ungliyan Kavya ke badan se mushkil se do inch ki doori par thin.
Meri saansen atak gayin. Main screen par apni aankhen gadaaye baitha tha, dil kar raha tha ki cheekh padun chhoo lo Tauji! Chhoo lo use!
Lekin theek usi aakhri second mein, jab unki ungliyan Kavya ki twacha se takrane hi wali thin, Tauji achanak ruk gaye.
Unke chehre par ek bhayanak aatmglani aur dard ki lakeerein khinch gayin. Unhone jhatke se apna haath peeche kheench liya, apni aankhen kaskar band kin aur haanpte hue peeche mud gaye.
Ve tezi se kamre se bahar nikle. Aur hall mein aakar, apni hi deh se nafrat karte hue, Tauji ne apne gaal par do zordaar thappad maare chataak! Chataak!
Thappadon ki goonj mere headphone mein saaf sunai di. Tauji ne khud ko us paap ke liye saza di thi jo unke dimaag mein chal raha tha.
Unhone ek lambi, bhaari saans chhodi, bedroom ka darwaza dheere se poora band kar diya aur ladkhadaate kadmon se apne kamre mein chale gaye.
Apne kamre mein jaakar Tauji ne apni dhoti utaar phenki. Unka vah vishaal, kaala aur nason se bhara hathiyaar ab bhi patthar ki tarah khada tha. Tauji apni khaat par baithe aur apni aankhen band karke paagalon ki tarah use sehlane lage. Ve apne munh se dheemi siskariyon mein bhagwan se maafi maang rahe the, lekin unka haath ruk nahi raha tha. Karib pandrah minute baad, unhone safed veerya ki ek bhaari dhaar chhodi aur haanpte hue bistar par gir pade.
Maine apne study room mein laptop ki screen band kar di.
Mere kamre mein andhera tha, lekin mere dimaag mein sab kuch sheeshe ki tarah saaf ho chuka tha.
Tauji toot rahe the. Unki maryaada ki jo deewar dashkon se khadi thi, usme aaj ek bahut badi darar pad chuki thi. Aaj ve ruk gaye the... lekin kab tak?
Ek pyaasa sher kab tak shikaar ko dekhkar sirf paani peekar laut sakta tha? Bas ek aur mauka... aur yeh deewar hamesha ke liye dhah jayegi.
Chapter 10: Jalan
Maine kaanpte haathon se laptop ki screen band kar di.
Meri hatheliyon mein paseena tarbatar tha. Maine tissue paper se apna maatha aur haath ponchhe.
Bhale hi kal raat Tauji ne Kavya ke us khule, madhosh jism ko haath nahi lagaya tha, lekin sirf us recording ko dekhne bhar se mere nason mein jo khoon dauda tha, usne mujhe bheetar tak hilakar rakh diya tha.
Aaj subah jab naashte ki mez par Tauji ki nazrein baar baar zameen par tik rahi thin, to mujhe samajh aa gaya tha ki unke andar kya chal raha tha. Apne anaath bhatije ki amaanat par nazar daalne ka bhayanak paap bodh unke chehre par saaf jhalak raha tha. Kavya ke us gore, khule badan ne us pachpan saal ke boodhe ke andar ki soi hui hawas ko jaga diya tha.
Lekin Tauji par gussa aane ke bajaye, mere dil mein unke liye ek ajeeb si izzat paida ho gayi thi. Sach to yeh hai ki us haalaat mein, jab Kavya jaisi haseen aur jawaan aurat lagbhag adhnangi saamne padi ho, to kisi bhi mard ka imaan dol jaana laazmi tha. Lekin Tauji ne khud se jung ladi, apne chehre par do thappad maare aur maryaada ki seema nahi laanghi. Unke us aatm niyantran ne saabit kar diya tha ki ve koi sadak chhaap lampat nahi, balki usoolon wale faulaadi mard the.
Aur yahi baat mere plan ke liye sabse mufeed thi. Tauji ke maanasik kile ki pehli deewar mein darar pad chuki thi. Yeh aisa khel tha jise jaldbaazi mein nahi khela ja sakta tha; ise dheemi aanch par pakaana tha.
Jab tak main koi galti nahi karunga, paase waise hi padenge jaisa main chaahunga.
Lekin sirf Tauji ke mann mein darar daalna kaafi nahi tha. Ab mujhe Kavya par kaam karna tha.
Laptop band karne ke baad bhi meri jaanghon ke beech ek ajeeb si bechaini thi. Main master bedroom mein aakar Kavya ke bagal mein let gaya. Kavya gehri neend mein so rahi thi. Maine apna baayaan haath uski patli kamar par rakha aur dheere dheere uske gol, ubhre hue hips ko sehlane laga.
Jaise hi main aage badhne wala tha, mere dimaag mein khatre ki ghanti baji.
Maine jhatke se apna haath peeche kheench liya.
Mujhe ek bahut badi baat samajh mein aa gayi thi. Aaj se lekar jab tak mera yeh poora plan kaamyab nahi ho jaata, main Kavya ke saath kisi bhi tarah ka jismani talluq nahi banaunga. Mujhe uske saath bistar par har tarah ka romance aur sex poori tarah band karna hoga.
Agar main uski jismani bhookh mitaata raha, to vah kabhi bahar ki taraf nahi dekhegi. Mujhe Kavya ki us jawaan, tapti hui deh ko pyaasa rakhna tha. Jab uski jismani talab ek hadd tak pahunchegi aur andar hi andar ghutegi, tabhi vah kisi gair mard ki mardaangi ki taraf aakarshit hogi.
Maine apni lungi ke andar apne us sust, bejaan pade ang ko dekha aur thandi saans bhari, "Dost, aane wale kuch hafte tumhare liye bahut kade hone wale hain."
Main washroom gaya aur raat ki us recording ki garmi ko yaad karte hue khud ko shaant kiya. Mere seene mein Tauji aur Kavya ko ek hote dekhne ki talab ab kisi lat ki tarah badhti ja rahi thi.
Din apni raftaar se beetne lage.
Hafte bhar ke andar Tauji ke chehre ka vah shuruaati apraadh bodh dheere dheere kam hone laga aur ve saamaanya dikhne lage. Lekin ek bahut bada badlaav aa chuka tha ab ve Kavya se apni nazrein nahi churate the.
Jab main office ke liye nikal jaata, to Tauji sofe par baithkar ya balcony mein khade hokar Kavya ko chupke chupke ghoorhte the. Subah jab Kavya patli nighty ya bina aasteen wale kurte mein jhukkar jhaadu lagati ya kitchen ka slab ponchhti, to Tauji ki bhookhi aankhen uske hips ki lachak, uski nangi kamar aur uski gehri chhaati ko aise peete thin jaise koi pyaasa sadiyon baad paani dekh raha ho.
Raat ki recordings mein maine notice kiya ki Tauji ke kamre mein tissue papers ka istemaal badh gaya tha. Ve ab pehle se kahin zyada baar apni mutthi mein us aath inchi hathiyaar ko ragad rahe the.
Tauji ke dil mein aag sulag chuki thi. Ab baari Kavya ki thi.
Itne mein raajya sthapna divas aur weekend ki lambi chhutti aa gayi. IT park ke mere jaise vyast corporate worker ke liye yeh ek bahut bada mauka tha. Maine Tauji aur Kavya ko lekar ek din ki trip par jaane ka faisla kiya. Beti Anu ko humne uski college ki weekend art aur craft workshop mein chhod diya tha, taaki vah din bhar apni saheliyon ke saath maje kare.
Hum teenon apni sedan car se Pavna Lake ke kinaare ek shaant, khoobsurat resort ki taraf nikal pade. Mere kaam ki fitrat aisi thi ki chhutti ke din bhi mere kandhe par office ka laptop bag latka rehta tha.
Jheel ke kinaare ka nazaara behad dilkash tha. Thandi hawa chal rahi thi aur paani ki lehrein pattharon se takra rahi thin.
Kavya aaj ek behad khoobsurat, gehre hare rang ki georgette ki dress pehne hui thi. Vah dress uske ghutnon se theek upar khatam ho rahi thi, jisse uski gori, chikni aur taraashi hui taangen poori tarah numaya ho rahi thin. Upar ka gala gehra V neck tha, jisme se uski bhari hui gori chhaati ka cleavage dhoop mein chamak raha tha. Kavya ka mood bahut badhiya tha, aur vah bahut kam maukon par itne dilkash aur khule kapde pehanti thi.
Vah kisi pari jaisi lag rahi thi. Jheel ke kinaare tehalte kayi doosre mard use mud mudkar dekh rahe the. Apni biwi ko doosron ki hawas bhari nazron ka shikaar bante dekhkar mere seene mein ek vikrit sa garv mehsoos ho raha tha.
Kavya nange pair paani ki lehron mein daud rahi thi, kabhi jhukkar seepiyan uthati, to kabhi hawa mein apne khule baalon ko lehraati.
Tauji, jo apne poore jeevan mein Haryana ke sookhe kheton aur akhadon mein hi rahe the, pehli baar kisi jheel ke aise khoobsurat kinaare par aaye the. Ve apni safed dhoti ko thoda upar uthaye, chaudhi aankhen kiye us paani aur us khuli hawa ko aise dekh rahe the jaise koi pehli baar kisi ajube ko dekhta hai.
Tabhi mere phone ki ghanti baji. Singapore ke regional director ka call tha agle hafte ki logistics performance report ka review karna tha.
Mujhe wahin ret par ek bade patthar ki chhaanv mein baithna pada, bag se laptop nikala aur Excel sheets par kaam shuru kar diya.
Kavya paani mein khelte khelte thodi thak gayi thi. Vah khilkhilaati hui meri taraf daudi aayi. Uski hari dress hawa mein ud rahi thi aur uske chehre par paseene ki bareek boondein motiyon jaisi chamak rahi thin. Vah mere paas aakar ukdun baith gayi aur usne dono haathon se mere laptop ke keyboard par halki si ret chhidak di.
"Kavya, kya kar rahi ho yaar!" maine screen ko bachaate hue sir hilaya, "Dekh nahi rahi ho, office ka zaroori kaam hai."
Kavya ne apni dono hatheliyan apni kamar par tika lin aur munh phulakar honth bahar nikaal liye, "Dhatt! Har waqt sirf kaam, kaam aur kaam! Rajesh, itne dinon baad hum bahar nikle hain. Thoda sa waqt mere saath bitao na... please?"
Kavya bahar ki duniya ke liye ek bahut suljhi hui, sanjeeda boutique owner thi, lekin mere aur Tauji ke saamne vah apni saari jhijhak bhoolkar ekdum chanchal aur khilandad ban jaati thi.
"Are Kavya, samjho na, ye report agar abhi submit nahi ki to Monday ko poora schedule bigad jayega," maine rookhepan ka naatak kiya.
"Hoon... aapko sirf apni files ki parwah hai, meri koi kadr hi nahi hai! Main ab aapse baat hi nahi karungi!" Kavya ret par hi pair patak kar baith gayi, apni aankhon ko apni hatheliyon se aise malne lagi jaise sach mein rone wali ho.
Tees saal ki umar mein bhi uski yeh masoom, nakhreeli ada dekhkar Tauji bhi thode faasle par khade hokar apni moonchon mein muskura rahe the.
Yahi vah sahi mauka tha.
Maine apne laptop bag ki androoni zip kholi aur usme se laal makhmal ka ek chhota sa box nikala. Yeh box maine do din pehle hi khareeda tha. Jab hamari shaadi hui thi, tab mere paas asli heere ki anguthi khareedne ki aukaat nahi thi. Is timahi mein mujhe do lakh rupaye ka bhaari corporate incentive mila tha, aur maine usme se dedh lakh rupaye ki ek solitaire diamond ring Kavya ke liye li thi.
Maine us laal makhmalI dibbi se Kavya ke sir par halke se thapki di.
"Achha baba, nautanki band karo. Zara aankhen kholo aur dekho kya laaya hoon."
Kavya ne ungliyon ke beech se jhaanka, uska rona pal bhar mein gaayab ho gaya. Usne jhatke se dibbi chheen li aur apni hatheli par rakh li.
Jaise hi usne box ka dhakkan khola, dopahar ki dhoop mein us chamchamaate heere ki chamak uski aankhon mein utar gayi. Kavya ka poora badan khushi aur ehsaanmandi se kaanp utha.
"Oh my God... Rajesh!" usne cheekhte hue mujhe apni baanhon mein bhar liya aur mere gaal par ek bahut gehra, geela kiss kar diya, "Thank you so much! I love you... I love you so much!"
Achanak use yaad aaya ki Tauji wahin kuch doori par khade hain. Kavya ka chehra ekdum se sharm se laal ho gaya. Usne jhepte hue mujhe chhoda aur apne dupatte ko theek kiya.
Lekin uski khushi itni bekaabu thi ki vah apni jagah par khadi ho gayi aur usne apna daayaan haath mere aage phaila diya, "Rajesh, main chahti hoon ki aap mujhe theek waise hi propose karein jaise filmon mein karte hain... ek baar phir se!"
Kavya ke chehre ki vah deewangi dekhkar Tauji aur main dono hans pade.
Mere paas koi chaara nahi tha. Main ret par ek ghutne ke bal baith gaya, vah heere ki anguthi apne haath mein uthai aur filmi andaaz mein kaha, "Kavya, kya tum mujhse dobara shaadi karogi?"
Kavya ne apni gardan tedhi ki, thodi der sochne ka naatak kiya aur phir hanste hue kaha, "Hmmm... jab itne pyaar se poochh rahe ho, to haan, main taiyaar hoon!"
Maine dheere se vah thandi, chamkili anguthi uski a ring finger mein pehna di. Phir main khada hua aur uska haath apne haath mein lekar hum dono us sunahri ret par jheel ke kinaare kinaare aage badhne lage.
Tauji peeche akele khade the.
Maine mudkar ek nazar chupke se Tauji ki taraf dekha.
Tauji ke chehre par ab vah muskaan nahi thi. Unka poora badan kisi khambhe ki tarah sakht ho chuka tha. Unki dono mutthiyan unke kurte ke neeche itni kaskar bhinchi hui thin ki unki nasen ubhar aayi thin.
Kavya ka vah haseen, roopvati jism... uske us naazuk, gore gaal par mera kiss... aur hamari vah khuli, bebaak mohabbat.
Us pachpan saal ke kunware, bhookhe mard ke seene mein is waqt ek aisi jaanleva jalan, ek aisi bhayanak tadap aur laachaari ki aag dhadhak rahi thi ki uski aankhen laal ho chuki thin. Tauji ka dil jalkar raakh ho raha tha.
Us ek pal mein mujhe apni jeet ka poora yakeen ho gaya.
