Chapter 48

Shreya bilkul sunn baithi hui thi, abhi abhi Rishabh ne use jo kuch kaha tha usne use suna toh tha par use samajh nahi aa raha tha yeh kaise mumkin tha. Koi uske saath aisa bhadda majak kaise kar sakta tha, par ek maa ki umeed use yeh baat jhuthlane nahi de rahi thi.

Rishabh ne kaha ki woh bas abhi Rohit ko wapas layega... Shreya se baat karne ke liye. Filhaal uski aankhen band thi... aur Shreya bas bechain hoti hui apne haath aapas mein mal rahi thi. Uska chehra buri tarah latka hua tha, jaise kisi bhi pal yeh majak khatam ho sakta tha.

Ekdam se Rishabh ki aankhen khuli aur usne ek zor ki saans li. Shreya turant kursi par seedhi ho kar baith gayi aur Rishabh ki aankhon mein dekhne lagi. Uski aankhon mein waise toh kuch bhi nahi badla tha, par fir bhi kyun aisa lag raha tha jaise sab kuch badal gaya ho. Wahan Rishabh nahi... sach mein koi aur ho.

Rishabh ki kaanpti hui aawaz dheere se bahar nikli - Mmmm... Mommm....

Shreya ka gala ekdam se sookh gaya... aawaz abhi bhi Rishabh ki thi par aisa lag raha tha jaise woh shabd Rohit hi bol raha ho. Shreya ki aankhen tezi se ghoomti hui uski taraf dekh rahi thi.

Rishabh ne apna haath Shreya ki taraf aage badhaya - Mommm....

Shreya ka dimaag uske mann ke saath dwand kar raha tha - Rishabh... kyun kar rahe ho tum yeh sab!

Rohit - Mom... main Rishabh nahi... Rohit hoon...

Rishabh ka haath jakar Shreya ke haath par padha aur usne use halka sa masla. Shreya ke andar ek zor ki kampan hui, andar ek aawaz keh rahi thi woh uski baat ka yakeen kar le. Usne apni aawaz ekdam se kadak kar li - Rishabh! Agar tum yeh sab mujhe bas kisi tarah acha feel karwane ke liye kar rahe ho toh... toh... yeh bilkul galat hai... bas ab yeh natak khatam karo...

Shreya seat se khadi hui bahar jaane ke liye... yeh tamasha kuch jyada hi lamba khinch gaya tha.

Rohit peeche se zor se chillaya - MOM!!! Please... mat jayo... I am sorry... bohot dard ho raha hai mujhe... aap please mat jayo mujhe akela chhod kar...

Shreya ne palat kar dabdabayi aankhon se Rishabh ki taraf dekha.

Rohit - Main aapko kaise yakeen dilayu... main hi hoon...

Shreya apne chehre par tyoriyan lekar wahin khadi rahi.

Rohit - Yaad hai aapko... 4th class mein... main cycle chalate hue main kafi buri tarah gir gaya tha... mere yahan ek chhot ka nishaan ban gaya tha...

Rohit ne apni kalai ki taraf ishaara kiya, jahan ek chhot ka nishaan hona chahiye tha, par ab tha nahi. Shreya ke dil mein ek halchal si hui... par uske dimaag ne samjhaya... zaroor Rishabh ne kabhi woh nishaan Rohit ki kalai par dekha hoga.

Rohit - Aur Papa mujhe kis naam se bulate they... Rolu...

Shreya ke dimaag ki nase fatne ko ho rahi thi. Yeh naam toh woh bhi nahi leti thi... yeh toh bas Ravi ki nishaani thi jo usne saalon se nahi suni thi.

Rohit - Aur... aur... kaise aap mere lunchbox mein roz ek note daal deti thi... kaise aap Rajan Sir se bhid gayi thi jab unhone mujhe punish kiya tha... Jab hum Jaipur gaye they tab kaise main kuch pal ke liye bheed mein kho gaya tha...

Rohit ek ke baad ek cheez bole jaa raha tha... Shreya ka dil ab apne dimaag se aur nahi ladh sakta tha... yeh aisi cheezen thi jo Rishabh ko kabhi pata nahi ho sakti thi. Shreya tezi se wapas Rishabh ki taraf badhi aur uska jakhmi haath dheere se thaam liya. Uski aankhon se aansu behne lage they. Usne medical equipments aur taaron ke beech mein se hote hue apna sar Rishabh ke seene par rakh diya.

Shreya - Rohit.... Rohit.... Rohit...

Uski saansein tez ho chuki thi aur use poora yakeen ho gaya tha ki uska Rohit yahin tha... woh uske dil ki dhadkan ko ache se jaanti thi.

Rohit - Mommmm.... Mom....

Shreya foot foot kar rone lagi, woh kuch kehne ki halat mein nahi thi - Rohit.... 

Rohit ne bhi bhilakhte hue bas kisi tarah Shreya ke kandhe par apne haath rakh diye. Dono maa bete kafi der tak ek doosre se lipte rahe.

Kuch der baad Shreya ne Rishabh ke seene se apna sar upar utha kar Rohit ki taraf dekha. Shreya ne halke se Rishabh ke chehre ko apne haathon mein thaama, woh wahan Rohit ke chehre ko imagine karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.

Shreya - Mujhe lagal... mujhe laga... maine tumhe kho diya hai...

Rohit - Mom....

Shreya - Tumhare bina... meri jindagi ka matlab bhi kya hota...

Rohit - Mom...

Shreya - Abhi bhi yakeen nahi ho raha... tum sach mein yahin ho na...

Rohit - Haan Mom... mujhe nahi pata kaise... par... kuch yaad bhi nahi aa raha... woh doctor keh rahe they accident...

Shreya - Tumhe sach mein kuch yaad nahi? Us din kya kya hua tha?

Rohit - Nahi... bas jo kuch abhi pata chala... Rishabh keh raha tha maine ghar chhod diya tha... mujhe toh bhi yaad nahi...

Shreya ne chaunkte hue uski taraf dekha - Kya tum aur Rishabh ek doosre ke baat kar sakte ho? Yahan... ek hi shareer ke andar...

Rohit ne dard mein apna sar pakda - Haan... ahhh.... ouchh...

Shreya - Aaram se... jyada zor mat daalo apne aap par...

Rohit - Haan... shayad mujhe wapas andar jaana hoga... aur Rishabh ko bahar bhejna padega.... jab bhi yeh dard hota hai... tab...

Shreya ne ekdam se hadbadate hue kaha - Rohit... suno... Rohit...

Par Rohit kuch hi pal mein fir se behosh ho gaya tha, aur Shreya bas uska haath thame reh gayi thi. Use abhi bhi yakeen nahi ho raha tha, par Rohit abhi bhi yahin tha... Rishabh ke shareer ke andar... uske saath.
