[Babab96]

...............

Jab me Raat ko apne guest room me aakar soya to aaj ki raat mile sukh ke liye mene kudrat kaa dhanywaad kiyaa..

Aur phir so gyaa..

Kuchh ghanto ki nind lene ke baad subhah ho gayi aur subah dheere-dheere roshni phailne lagi. Chhat par mere kamre ki khidki se suraj ki pehli kirnein andar aane lagi thi.

Main neend se utha aur kuchh pal chupchaap leta raha. Kal ka poora din aankhon ke saamne ghoom gaya aur raat bhi — Jaswant ki haar, uske chhe pahalwanon ki haar, Baaz ki sawari, Rajeshwari ke sath bitaya samay aur raat ko Jeevan Singh ji aur Nirbhay ki baatein.  Padmavati, Devyani, Shakuntala aur Charulata ki chudai...

Main bed se utha, khidki ke paas gaya aur neeche haveli ke aangan ki taraf dekha.

Me badi muskil se 3 ghante so paya tha, kintu fresh feel kar rha tha.. me bathroom me gyaa fresh hua apne kapde pahne aur chhat se dobara haveli ke aangan ko niharne laga .

Subah hote hi haveli mein phir se halchal shuru ho chuki thi. Kahin naukar safai kar rahe the, kahin rasoi se chai aur nashta banne ki khushboo aa rahi thi.

Astbal ki taraf se ghodon ki awaaz bhi aa rahi thi.

Tabhi piche se kisi ke aane ki aahat huyi, aur iss aahat me kuchh apna pan tha..

Dadaji_ Jay, uth gaya?

Me_ Ji Dadaji. Aaiye.

Dadaji mere pass aaye aur mujhe dekhkar muskuraye.

Dadaji_ Raat kaisi rahi? Kis kaa number laga raat ko?

Me_ Achhi rahi Dadaji. Bas kal ka din yaad karte-karte pata hi nahi chala kab neend aa gayi.

Dadaji_ Achcha? Tabhi Padmavati, Devyani, Shakuntala tumhare kamre me aayi. aur Charulata me aise hi badlao najar aa rha hai..

Me_ Aap to sab jante hi hai Dadaji..

Dadaji_ Tumne ye achcha kia Jay, ki iss ghar ki 3 sabse aham mahilao ko khush kar dia hai..

Ab iss ghar ki kisi bhi chut per tum raaj kar sakte ho..

Tumne wo kar diya jiske baare me agar koi aur hota Tumhari jagah to bilkul nhi sochta..

Me_ Ji dadaji..

Dadaji_ Chalo ab taiyar hokar phataphat bahar aa jao..

Me_ Aaj akhade mein jaana hai kya?

Dadaji_ Pehle hum ghar chalenge, Uske baad tumhari choton ko dobara dekhunga. unn per apni aaushdhiya lagaunga aur phir hum dekhenge ki kitne dino ke aaram ke baad, tumhe phir se akhade me utarna hai..

Aur Kushti ka faisla uske baad hoga.

Me_ Ji..

Dadaji ne meri taraf gaur se dekha.

Dadaji_ Aur haan, aaj kisi ko khush karne ke chakkar mein apne sharir par zor mat daalna. tu raat ko kaafi mehnat kar chuka hai..

Me_ Samajh gaya, Dadaji. lakin moka mila to chhodunga nhi..

Dadaji_ theek hai, chalo phir. Neeche chalte hain.

Main tayyar hokar Dadaji ke saath kamre se bahar nikla.

Chhat ki seedhiyon se neeche utarte waqt poori haveli subah ki roshni mein kal se bilkul alag lag rahi thi.
