Chapter 5

Kamre mein bilkul sannata tha, bas bahar se thodi bohot shor aa raha tha. Kabhi achanak se kisi ke zor ki hasne ki aawaz, kabhi kutto ki bhaukne ki aawaz, kabhi par jaise koi kuch bhaari samaan yahan se wahan kheench raha ho.

Hum dono ke beech mein se ghoonghat ka parda hatt chuka tha aur Jiju meri thodi ko halke se pakde mera chehra nihaar rahe they. Mujhe behad sharam aa rahi thi, par saath hi ek ajeeb sa ehsaas bhi ho raha tha. Meri aankhen unse kuch pal ke liye milti aur fir jhuk jaati. 

Yeh pehli baar tha jab maine unhe itni paas se dekha tha. Unka chehra poora saaf nahi tha, aisa lag raha tha jaise unhone ek ya do din pehle shave ki ho. Koi muchhe nahi thi, sar ke baal halke se aage bikhre hue, chehre ki jawline ekdam sharp si, bilkul Hritik Roshan ki tarah. Unke chehre par ek halki si seriousness chhipi thi, jaise koi unke mann ki baat aasani se na padh paaye.

Maine ek pal ke liye Aditya ke chehre ko yaad karne ki koshish ki. Uske chehre par abhi bhi thodi softness si thi, bilkul mere gaalon ki tarah, thoda sa bachpana. Par Jiju ka chehra bilkul ek mard ke chehre tha, ek aisa mard jise movies mein hero ki tarah dikhate hain. Jo Heroine ko kisi bhi khatre se bacha sakta ho. 

Achanak se mann mein ek chulbuli si ghabrahat daudi ki aakhir Jiju mere baare mein kya soch rahe hain? Kahin main unhe ek immature si chhoti ladki toh nahi lag rahi na. Yeh sochte hi meri bechaini ne mere gaalon ko halka sa kheenchte hue fula diya. Jab aisa hota toh main aur bhi cute lagti thi.

Mann mein ek doosra khayal aaya, Prachi Didi bhi kam khoobsurat nahi thi, kayi jagahon par toh mujhse bhi jyada. Unke aage... mera jism toh abhi kafi chhota sa tha. Un dono ke beech is raat ke baare mein kya baat hui hogi? Jiju ko itne paas se dekh kar main samajh paa rahi thi ki shayad Didi itni upset kyun thi.

Jiju ne achanak ek sawaal pucha jisse main apni soch se bahar nikli - Suhani... aap kal se ye bhaari gehne pehne hue ho... inhe utaar dun?

Mera chehra abhi bhi unke haath par tika tha, maine bas halke se haan mein use hila diya, aur meri soft si chin unki ungli par halki si ragdi.

Jiju sabse pehle apne dono haath mere baalon ki taraf le gaye aur mere sar par rakh diye. Unke hatheli mere maathe par tiki hui thi aur mere poore badan mein ek sihran si daud gayi. Apne sar par unke haath itne bhaari lag rahe they jaise main unke haathon ke neeche dab hi gayi hoon, mera sar apne aap hi thoda neeche jhuk gaya. Mere muh se ek halki si "ahhhh" ki aawaz nikli.



Jiju ne us aawaz ko ignore karte hue apne ek haath mein aage ke pendant ko thama aur fir meri maang ke beech mein se jaati hui sone ki chain ko apne doosre haath ki ungliyon ke halke se pakda. Unki ungliyaan mere baalon ke beech mein se us pin ko dhoond rahi thi jisse woh maang tika mere sar par tika tha. Pin milte hi unhone behad dheere se use mere baalon ki latt se unclip kiya aur fir maang teeke ko mere sar se utha diya. 

Teeke ke uthte hi baalon ki kuch latt upar se loose hote hue mere chehre par aa gayi.

Maang teeke ka wajan jaise hi mere maathe se hata, maine rahat ki ek halki si saans li. Aisa lag raha tha jaise mere sar par jo bhaari dabav padh raha tha, achanak se gayab ho gaya tha. Jiju ne maang teeke ko apni mutthi mein bhara aur neeche laate hue mere saamne apni hatheli kholi.

Jiju - Ab better lag raha hoga?

Maine ek halki si smile ke saath apna sar haan mein hilaya.

Jiju sarak kar mere bilkul paas baith gaye they, itna paas ki unka ghutna mere ghutne ko halke se chhoo raha tha. Paas baithe mujhe realize hua ki woh mujhse kafi lambe honge. Baithe hue mein bhi unke kandhe meri aankhon ke level par aa rahe they. Meri height sirf 5'3 inch aur uske upar mera patla sa badan, main unke aage kafi chhoti si lag rahi thi. Unke bade kandhon ne poora view hi block kar diya tha.

Jiju ne ungliyon se mere kaan par latak rahe bhaari se jhumko ki taraf ishaara kiya - Ab yeh earrings?

Maine fir se haan mein sar hila diya.

Unhone mere gaal aur kaan ke paas latakte hue baalon ko halke se apni ungliyon se mere kaano ke peeche kiya. Aisa karte hue unki ungliyan mere gaalon se chhooti hui gayi, aur main buri tarah kaanp uthi, itna ki mere kandhe zor se hil uthe.

Jiju - Meri ungliyan thandi hai kya?

Main - Shayad... thodi si...

Unhone apne dono haath mere ek kaan ki taraf badaye aur mere behad soft earlobe ko apni ungliyon se halke se pakda.

Main - Ahhh... Jiju... aaram se karna...

Jiju muskuraye - Aap fiqr mat kariye... bohot aaram se karunga.

Jiju ki ungliyaan kafi badi thi par unhone kafi narmi se mere kaan ko pakda hua tha. Unki do ungliyaan kaan ke peeche ek chhote se pench ko ghuma rahi thi, aur doosri jhumke ko sahara dete hue pakdi hui thi. Mujhe realize hua yeh toh main khud bhi utaar sakti thi.

Jhumka utarte hi aisa laga jaise us khaali chhed mein ek thandi hawa ka jhonka ghus gaya ho. Jiju ne jaldi se mere doosra kaan pakadte hue doosre jhumke ko bhi utaara. Is baar mere andar woh halchal nahi hui jo pehli doosri baar hui thi.

Aakhir mein unka haath mere gale ki taraf badha. Jaise hi unke haath mere necklace kholne ke liye meri gardan ke peeche gaye maine anjaane mein apni saansein rok li. Unki thandi ungliyan meri nangi gardan ko chhoo rahi thi, aur bohot hi gudgudi si mehsoos ho rahi thi. Unhone necklace ki thori ko dheela kiya aur mera gala bhi jaise poori tarah azaad ho gaya.

Unhone saari jewelry side wali table ke upar rakhi. Shaadi ke saare gehne utarne ke baad pata nahi kyun bada khali khali sa, nihattha sa mehsoos ho raha tha.

Mujhe ehsaas hua ki lenghe ka bhaari dupatta latakta hua mujhe peeche kheench raha tha. Maine use adjust karne ke liye peeche haath badaya par woh kafi saari jagah pins se bandha hua tha.

Jiju ne mujhe struggle karta dekha kaha - Ise bhi utaar de?

Is baar mera sar jaldi se haan mein nahi hila. Main samajh rahi thi ki gaadi sirf gehno tak hi nahi rukne wali thi. Par ab is aage ke kaam mein kafi sharam si aa rahi thi. Jiju chup chaap khade rahe jaise mere jawaab ka intezaar kar rahe ho.

Maine aakhir bohot hi halke se kaha - Jaise aap theek samjhe...

Ufff... us ek pal laga jaise apne aap ko poori tarah unko saup diya ho. Jaise woh theek samjhe... ab woh waisa kar sakte they.

Jiju turant hile nahi, woh bhi jaise mere shabdon ka matlab samajh rahe they. Fir unka wajan bistar se hata, aur woh mere peeche aakar baith gaye. Main unhe dekh toh nahi paa rahi thi par uski saans mujhe mehsoos ho rahi thi.



Unhone bina izazat maange mere bhaari dupatte ko dheere dheere mujhse alag karna shuru kiya. Har ek pin dupatte se utarta hua jaise mere seene mein aakar lag raha tha, par saath hi sab kuch halka sa lagta jaa raha tha. Kuch pal baad woh ek aakhri kinara pakde hue ruk gaye they. Jaise mujhe samay de rahe ho fir se sochne ka. Par main zara bhi nahi hili.

Unhone aakhri pin nikaala aur woh reshmi bhari dupatta meri kamar par se hota hua neeche jakar gira. Us dupatte ke hat-te hi aisa lag raha tha jaise mera aadha badan unki nazar ke saamne pratyaksh tha.

Mera mann is waqt pagal sa ho raha tha, aisa lag raha tha jaise woh mujhe peeche se thaam lenge. Main jaane anjaane unhe izaazat de chuki thi, ab jo karna tha unhe karna tha. Main intezaar kar rahi thi ki kab unka haath meri kamar par aayega, kab unki chhati meri peeth se chipak jayegi. Main jism poori tarah akad gaya tha.

Par unhone aisa nahi kiya, woh uth kar fir se mere saamne aakar baith gaye. Maine aakhen jhukaye rakhi. Unhone dono haath aage badaye aur mere foole hue gaalon ko apni hatheliyon mein bhar liya. Unki sakht hatheli mein mujhe apne gaal aur bhi jyada soft lag rahe they.

Fir unka chehra meri taraf jhuka aur unhone mere maathe par ek halki si kiss kar di. Main andar se buri tarah pagal ho rahi thi. Kya woh ab mere honth choomne wale they, maine aaj tak kisi ko kiss nahi kiya tha.

Unka chehra zara sa peeche hua aur fir se muskurate hue mujhe dekhne laga. Ek raat ki hi baat thi yeh sab, par har pal maano hazaaro pal jaisa lag raha tha.

Unki dheemi gehri aawaz nikli - Suhani... aapki pehli baar hai yeh?

Mera dil toh jaise beech mein hi atak chuka tha. Woh yeh mujhse kyun pooch rahe they. Kya yeh mere chehre par likha tha, ek ladki jisne kabhi kisi ko chooma nahi tha.

Maine bas apni aankhen jhukaye rakhi, aur fir dheere se mere muh se bas ek shabd nikla - Haan...

Main apni nazrein ko tircha karte hue unki taraf deka, woh kya soch rahe they, kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha.

Jiju - Fir toh... kafi khushkismat hoon main...

Unhone apna chehra halka sa teda kiya aur apne haath thoda peeche karte hue mere chehre ki taraf badha diye. Maine turant apni aankhen band kar li, aur agle hi pal mujhe ehsaas hua ki mere soft se honthon par unke honth aakar ruk gaye they. Abhi yeh chumban nahi tha, bas honth ek doosre se takraye they. Par mere liye itna hi kaafi tha apne aap ko poori tarah unko saupne ke liye. Mere haath apne aap hi uthte hue unki chhati par jakar tik gaye.



Unhone ek pal ke liye apna chehra peeche kiya, shayad mere tamatar sa laal chehra dekhne ke liye. Kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha woh kya kar rahe they! Baar baar yun aage badh kar peeche hatna, jaise woh mere kamzor se mann ke saath khel rahe ho. Aur main anadiyon ki tarah unhe khelne de rahi hun. Unki nazar mere honthon par tiki hui thi.

Maine himmat karke dheere se kaha - Itna bura bhi nahi pehla kiss...

Jiju muskuraye - Maine abhi kiss kahan kiya hai! Kiss yeh hoti hai...

Unke honth ekdam se dubara mere honthon ki taraf badhe aur is baar mujhe apne honthon par unke honth dabte hue mehsoos hue. Kuch bhaari sa, garam, pehle sookha fir ekdam se thoda geela. Unke honthon ne halke se mere honthon ko kisi gulaab ke fool ki tarah khola aur wahan kuch pal ke liye ruk gaye. Main apni saans poori tarah rok li. Toh yeh hoti hai kiss!



Agle hi pal mere honthon ne bhi apne aap unke honthon ka jawaab diya aur unhe thoda sa peeche dhakela. Main apni saans aur nahi rok paayi aur woh muh se chhoot-te hue unki saanson mein jaa mili. Unka haath mere gaalon par aur bhi zyada kas gaya.

Mere us chhote se palatwaar ne jaise unhe aur bhi bhadka diya. Unka sakht chehra mere soft se chehre se aur bhi satt gaya. Unke honth mere honthon ke upar khulne aur band hone lage. Jab woh band hote toh main unhe sookha paati aur fir jab woh khulte toh geela. Shayad geele honth hi behtar they, main bhi apna muh kholte hue unke bahari honthon ko bhigo diya.

Har kiss ke saath saath hamari saansein aur bhi ulajhti jaa rahi thi aur aisa lag raha tha jaise main aur bhi azaadi se saans le paa rahi hu.
