Thriller गुनाहों का देवता

2. Papa Ki Dosti Aur Muh-Boli Bhuaayein

Agla note khula.

Ismein Jay ne apne Papa ke kuch puraane rishton ka zikr kiya tha.

Uske Papa ke liye khoon ka rishta hi sab kuch nahi tha. Woh dosti ko bhi parivaar ki tarah maante the.

Unke bahut kareebi dost Raza Ahmad Khan the. Raza ke saath unka rishta itna gehra tha ki dono ek-doosre ko bhai samajhte the.

Raza ki chaar behne—Shahnaz Begum, Nasreen Begum, Parveen Begum aur Yasmeen Begum—Jay ke Papa ko bhai jaisa maanti thin.

Jay bhi unhein muh-boli bhuaayein kehta tha.

Uske Papa ne mushkil samay mein Raza ke business mein laakhon rupaye lagaaye the. Unhone Raza ki behnon ki bhi zaroorat ke waqt aarthik madad ki thi.

Lekin jab Jay ne apni museebat ke samay unse madad maangi, toh use inkaar mila.

Bhavik ne note ke saath sambandhit call recording dobara chalaayi.

Ek ke baad ek awaazein earbuds mein goonjne lagin.

Har awaaz Jay ke liye ek band darwaaze ki tarah thi.

Bhavik ne recording band kar di.

“Rishte sirf achhe waqt mein saath rehne ka naam nahi hote,” usne dheere se kaha. “Lekin shayad har insaan apni zimmedari aur darr ke hisaab se faisla karta hai.”

Woh kisi ke faisle ko turant sahi ya galat kehne ke bajaay poori paristhiti samajhna chahta tha.

Phir bhi ek sawaal uske man mein baar-baar aa raha tha—

Jis Jay ke Papa ne doosron ke liye itna kuch kiya, us Jay ko aaj ek raat ki panaah kyun nahi mili?
