[Babab96]

Maine ak duvidha me tha, kintu Charulata ko apna banana chahta tha, pata nhi kyun per meri Antara Ataraatma mujse bol rahi thi ki..

Ye bandi mere jeevan me bahut kaam aane wali hai..ye mere liye kuchh bhi kar gujregi..

Maine apne bade aur samajdar hone kaa parichay diya, aur iss parishti ko apne dhang se sambhala..

Maine kuch der uski taraf dekha aur phir shaant swar mein kaha—

Main (Jay): Charulata, main tumhari bees saalon se chali aa rahi is tapasya ko todne ke bajaay tumhe ek aisa raasta dena chahta hoon, jisse tumhara apne aap se kiya hua vaada bhi apni jagah bana rahe aur hum dono ke rishte ko bhi ek naam mil sake.

Woh meri baat sunkar thodi asahaj ho gayi. Uski aankhon mein kai sawaal the.

Charulata: Woh kaise, Jay? Tum aakhir kehna kya chahte ho?

Main: Main jaanta hoon ki tumne apne liye ek maryada tay ki hai. Tum chahti ho ki tumhare jeevan mein sharirik sambandh sirf tumhare pati ke saath hi hon. Main tumhari is pratigya ka apmaan nahi karna chahta. Main chahta hoon ki tumhare mann mein jo bhi darr aur asmanjas hai, woh door ho jaaye.

Woh meri taraf dekhne lagi. Shayad abhi bhi use meri baat ka poora arth samajh nahi aaya tha.

Maine aage kaha—

Main: Charulata, ek baat batao. Kya tumhare paas koi aisa mangalsutra aur sindoor hai, jiska tumne abhi tak upyog nahi kiya ho? Jo tumne khud khareeda ho aur kisi doosre vyakti ne tumhe uphaar mein na diya ho?

Woh kuch pal tak mujhe dekhti rahi.

Charulata: Haan, Jay. Mere paas aisa mangalsutra aur sindoor hai. Lekin tum yeh sab kyun poochh rahe ho?

Maine uski aankhon mein dekhte hue kaha—

Main: Charulata, tum chaaho toh woh dono mujhe bech do.

Yeh sunkar woh aur ulajh gayi.

Charulata: Tumhare mann mein kya hai, Jay? Tum sindoor aur mangalsutra kyun khareedna chahte ho? Mujhe saaf-saaf batao.

Maine uski uljhan ko aur badhana theek nahi samjha. Main uske saamne thoda aur spasht hokar baitha aur uska haath apne haath mein lekar kaha—

Main: Charulata, main tumse Gandharva Vivaah karna chahta hoon.

Woh ekdam shaant ho gayi.

Kuch pal ke liye kamre mein aisi khamoshi chha gayi, jismein sirf hamari saanson ki aawaaz sunai de rahi thi. Usne meri aankhon mein dekha, jaise mere shabdon ke peeche chhupe bhaavon ko samajhne ki koshish kar rahi ho.

Maine uska haath thaame hue apni baat poori ki—

Main: Main tumhe kuch palon ki khushi dekar tumhari zindagi se chale jaana nahi chahta. Main chahta hoon ki tumhare mann mein mere liye jo bhi bhaavnayein hain, unhe ek sammaanajanak pehchaan mile. Main tumhe apni patni ke roop mein sweekaar karna chahta hoon. 

Duniya ki najar me chahe hum pati patni naa ho, lakin mere liye tum sada meri pahli patni rahogi..

tum khud ko mujhe lagbhag sop chuki ho, ab inn vicharo ko bhadha naa banne do..

Charulata_ Lakin Jay! me saadi suda hun!

Mein_ Tum saadi suda thi jaan lakin tum uss shaadi ko salo pahle tod chuki ho..

Charulata_ Haa wo to hai lakin!

Main: Charulata, main chahta hoon ki humara rishta vishwas, nishtha aur saath nibhane ke sankalp par khada ho. Agar tum bhi apni ichchha se mujhe apna jeevansaathi sweekaar karti ho, toh hum aaj ek-doosre ke saamne apne rishte ka sankalp le sakte hain. Main tumhare vachan ko todna nahi chahta aur na hi tumhe kisi faisle ke liye majboor karna chahta hoon.

Meri baatein sunkar Charulata ki aankhein nam ho gayi. Uske chehre par dheere-dheere ek aisi muskaan ubharne lagi, jismein rahat bhi thi aur khushi bhi.

Charulata: Jay, mujhe laga tha ki kahin tum mera bhog karke mujhe chhod toh nahi doge. Mujhe darr tha ki kahin meri bhaavnayein hi mere liye pachhtaave ka kaaran na ban jaayein. 

Woh kuch pal ruki aur phir meri taraf dekhkar boli—

Charulata: Lekin tum toh mujhe apni zindagi mein jagah de rahe ho. Tum mujhe sirf apne paas nahi rakhna chahte, balki mujhe apna banana chahte ho. Tumne mere mann ka woh darr door kar diya, jise shayad main kabhi tumhare saamne khulkar keh bhi nahi paati.

Maine dheere se kaha—

Main: Charulata, kisi ka vishwas paana aasaan nahi hota. Aur jab koi apna vishwas humein saunp deta hai, toh uski raksha karna hamari zimmedaari ban jaati hai.

Woh muskuraayi aur boli—

Charulata: Jay, agar tumhare mann mein sachmuch yahi bhaavna hai, toh main bhi is rishte ko poore mann se sweekaar karti hoon. Main chahti hoon ki aaj ka yeh faisla sirf ek rasam bankar na reh jaaye, balki aisa sankalp bane jise hum dono hamesha yaad rakhein.

 1. Naye kapde aur vivaah ki taiyaari

Humne tay kiya ki pehle khud ko vyavasthit karenge aur phir shaant mann se apne is faisle ko ek roop denge.

Kuch samay baad hum dono sath me bathroom mein gaye aur humne ak sath nange hokar snaan kiya..

Phir bahar aaye charulata ne nayi saare aur naye undergarments aur Naya blouse, peticoat pahna..

Mere paas us samay badalne ke liye kapde nahi the. Charulata ne apni almaari se ek bilkul nayi lungi nikaali aur meri taraf badha di.

Charulata: Jay, filhaal tum ise pehen lo. Yeh bilkul nayi hai.

Mein: Ye tumhare pass kyaa kar rahi hai..

Charulata: Ye me nikaro ke liye layi thi, shirt aur loongi..dene ke liye..ye ak jod bach gyaa tha, sabko batne ke baad iss liye apni almari me patak diya tha..

me uss shirt aur loongi ko pahna...

Charulata ne mujhe dekha toh uske chehre par halki-si hansi aa gayi.

Charulata: Tumhe pata hai, Jay? Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki meri zindagi ka itna mahatvapoorna din itni saadgi se shuru hoga. aur wo bhi raat me..

Main: Shayad kuch yaadein isliye khaas ban jaati hain, kyunki unmein dikhaave se zyada sachchai hoti hai.

Woh muskuraakar mere paas aakar khadi ho gayi.

Humne sindoor aur mangalsutra apne saamne rakh diye. Woh dono cheezein pehle saadharan-si thi, lekin us samay hamare liye unka arth badal chuka tha. Ab woh hamare faisle, hamari bhaavnayein aur ek-doosre ke prati zimmedaari ke prateek banne ja rahe the.

Gandharva Vivaah ka sankalp

Maine Charulata ki taraf dekha.

Main: Charulata, main chahta hoon ki hum yeh sab apni poori ichchha aur samajh ke saath karein. Agar tumhare mann mein koi bhi sandeh hai, toh tum mujhe bata sakti ho. Aaj tumhari sahmati aur tumhari khushi mere liye sabse zyada maayne rakhti hai.

Usne bina kisi jhijhak ke mera haath thaam liya.

Charulata: Jay, main apni ichchha se tumhare saath yeh sankalp le rahi hoon. Main chahti hoon ki tum mujhe hamesha usi sammaan se dekho, jis sammaan ke saath aaj tumne meri bhaavnao ko samjha hai.

Maine uska haath apne dono haathon mein lekar kaha—

Main: Main tumhare vishwas ki raksha karne ka vachan deta hoon. Main chahta hoon ki hamare beech koi rishta chhal ya dabaav par nahi, balki sachchai aur aapsi sammaan par tika ho. Sukh ho ya kathin samay, hum ek-doosre ki baat sunenge aur apne rishte ko imaandaari se nibhaane ki koshish karenge.

Charulata ki aankhon mein khushi jhalak rahi thi.

Usne bhi apna sankalp dohraaya—

Charulata: Main bhi is rishte ko sachche mann se sweekaar karti hoon, Jay. Main chahti hoon ki hamara saath sirf aaj ki bhaavnaon tak seemit na rahe. Hum ek-doosre ki zindagi mein vishwas, sammaan aur sukoon ka kaaran banein.

Me tumhen vachan deti hun Jay ki me sada tumhari parchhai ban kar rahungi, sada tumhari aagyaa kaa palan karungi..

Tumhe sada sukh dungi..

Tumhari kisi bhi biwi yaa premika yaa kisi bhi aaurat se jalungi nhi..aur naa hi unse irsha karungi..

Unhe samman dungi..

Mein aaj aur iss wakt se apna jiwan tumharey liye samarpit karti hun Jay..

Uske baad maine sindoor uthaya.

Charulata mere saamne shaant bhaav se khadi thi. Maine uski sahmati se uski maang mein sindoor lagaaya.

Uski aankhein kuch pal ke liye band ho gayin. Jab usne aankhein kholi, toh uske chehre par ek komal muskaan thi. Usne apna haath uthaakar maang ko halke se chhua, jaise us pal ko apne bheetar sanjokar rakhna chahti ho.

Phir maine mangalsutra uthaya aur uske gale mein pehna diya.

Charulata ne use dono haathon se chhua. Uske chehre par khushi ke saath ek gehri bhaavukta bhi thi.

Wo 20 salo se saadi suda hokar bhi vidhwa ki tarah ji rahi thi, aaj uske jiwan me saadisuda aur sobhagyawati hone kaa avsar dobara aaya tha..

Charulata: Jay, aaj tumne mujhe wo Khushi di hai, jiski me ummeed bhi nhi kar sakti thi..tumne mujhe puri tarah se apna bana liya hai..

Maine muskuraakar jawaab diya—

Main: Aur main chahta hoon ki tumhe yeh ehsaas sirf aaj nahi, balki har us din ho jab tum mere saath raho.

Woh muskuraayi aur kuch pal tak mangalsutra ko apni ungliyon se chhooti rahi. Uske liye yeh sirf ek aabhushan nahi tha, balki us faisle ki yaad thi jise usne apni ichchha se sweekaar kiya tha.

Sone ki anguthi — mere prem ki nishaani

Mere paas sone ki ek anguthi thi. jo me apne anghute me pahanta tha, bilkul simple si, gol anguthi..

Main use apni taraf se Charulata ko ek yaadgaar nishaani ke roop mein dena chahta tha.

Maine anguthi nikaalkar uski hatheli par rakh di.

Main: Charulata, yeh meri taraf se tumhare liye ek nishaani hai. Iski keemat iske sone mein nahi, balki us bhaavna mein hai jiske saath main tumhe yeh de raha hoon. Jab bhi tum ise dekhogi, mujhe yaad karne ke saath-saath aaj liye gaye hamare sankalp ko bhi yaad karna.

Charulata ne anguthi ko apni hatheli par dekha. Phir meri taraf dekhkar poochha—

Charulata: Jay, tum chahte ho ki main ise kahaan rakhun?

Maine uski taraf dekhte hue kaha—

Main: Jahaan tumhe yeh sabse zyada pyaari lage. Main chahta hoon ki yeh tumhare liye hamare rishte ki yaad bane.

Usne kuch der socha. Phir usne almira se ak patli sone ki chain nikali aur usmein anguthi daalkar chain apne gale mein pehen li.

Ab uske gale mein mangalsutra ke saath woh chain bhi thi, jismein meri di hui anguthi ek chhoti-si nishaani ki tarah chamak rahi thi.

Charulata ne use ungliyon se chhua aur muskuraakar boli—

Charulata: Ab yeh mere liye sirf ek anguthi nahi hai, Jay. ye mere mangalsutra ke saman hi hai..

Maine jawaab diya—

Main: mein to ab to tumhen koi aitraz nhi hai..

Charulata: Mein apne pati ko suhagrat wale din kese mana kar sakti hun..

Usne apna sir mere kandhe par tika diya. Main kuch pal chupchaap uske paas khada raha.

Fir me bed per aakar beth gyaa.. wo samne hi khadi thi bilkul ak suhagan ki tarah..





Mein: Charulata tum khush nhi ho kyaa humare iss sambhandh se..

Charulata: Bahut khush hun Jaan, bas kuch soch rahi thi..

Me: Bas yahi ki Nirbhay mere sath kabhi jabarjasti naa karein warna me use kese samjhaungi..

Mein_ use me Sambhal lunga.. ab jara muskura bhi de meri Charulata..

Charu muskurate huye..


Charulata_ Jaan me ab tumhen apne jalwe dikhati hun..

Mein_ Achacha..

Charulata ne apni saree utar ke side fenk di, ab wo bilkul maal lag rahi thi..
