Shukra hai Fracture nahi hai! maans fatne se soojan aa gayi hai.. theek hone mein 10-15 din lag jayenge.. main kuchh dawaiyan likh deti hoon.. time se lete rahna aur next monday ek baar aakar check kara jana... OK?" Hospital mein lady doctor Virender aur Raj ke paas khadi thi..," karte kya ho tum?"
"ji, padhte hain..10+2 mein" dono ek sath bol pade...
"tumhara dost sharmata bahut hai.." Doctor ne Raj ko prescription paper diya aur muskurate huye wahan se dusre patient ke paas chali gayi...
"kya baat thi.. tu sharma kyun raha tha oye?" Raj ne viru ke kaan ke paas munh lejakar kaha...
"meri pant nikalwa li thi yaar.. sharam nahi aayegi kya?" viru muskuraya aur achanak baat palat di..," chalein.. subah hone ko hai.."
"ek minute.. main bhai sahab ko dekhkar aata hoon... tu yahin leta rah tab tak.." Raj ne viru se kaha..
"kahan gaye wo..?"
"pata nahi.. abhi 20 minute pahle yahin thhe.. ek phone karne ki baat kahkar nikle thhe.. bahar hi honge.. main bulakar lata hoon.." kahkar Raj bahar nikal gaya...
-----------------------------
Kareeb 10-15 minute baad Raj wapas aaya," yaar wo to kahin dikhayi nahi diye... main har jagah dekh aaya.."
"chale toh nahi gaye hain.. Sneha room par akeli hai na.. wo usko bol bhi rahe the ki der lagi toh main aa jaunga..!" Viru ne Raj se kaha..
"par main parking mein gadi bhi dekh aaya hoon... wahin khadi hai.. gaye hote toh Gadi lekar nahi jate kya?" Raj ne sawaal kiya...
"fir toh yahin honge.. intjaar karte hain.. aur kya?" Viru ne Raj ki aur dekhte huye kaha...
Raj ne sahmati mein sir hilaya aur Virender ke paas hi baith gaya.....
------------------------------------------------
Sawera ho gaya tha.. Sneha ko sari raat neend nahi aayi.. yunhi karwate badalti huyi vicky ke baare mein sochti rahi...kitna pyara hai Mohan.. kitna apna sa hai.. 3 din mein hi wo uss'se kis kadar jud gayi thi.. uske door jaate hi usko lagta tha ki wo fir se nitant akeli ho gayi hai... Mohan ne ek sath hi usko kitni sari khushiyan de di... Mohan ke liye hi jiyungi ab... uske liye mar bhi jaaungi... Sneha ne man hi man socha aur angdayi lete huye ulti late gayi.. uska roop nikhar aaya tha.. ab har ang har pal jaise 'Mohan Mohan' hi pukarta rahta tha.. aaj gadi mein hi unhone kitni masti ki thi.. Sneha rah rah kar Vicky se lipat ja rahi thi.. 'pal' bhar ki bechaini bhi Sneha se sahan nahi ho rahi thi... Mohan ne wada kiya tha.. Rohtak jakar ek dost ke flat par rukenge aur wo uss'se wahan pahle din wala hi pyar fir se karega... ji bhar kar.. wo rohtak aa bhi gaye the.. par sneha se 2 pal ka bhi intzaar nahi ho raha tha.. wo rah rah kar Mohan se lipati ja rahi thi.....
aur shayad isiliye 'wo' hadsa hua.. agar wo Mohan ko iss tarah 'tang' na karti toh shayad Mohan haadse ko taal bhi leta.. Sochte huye Sneha ne ek lambi aah bhari.. aur karwat badalkar fir se seedhi ho gayi...
------------------------------------------------
kareeb 10 minute baad darwaje par dastak huyi.. Sneha ek dum se uthi aur darwaje ke paas jakar poochha," koun hai?"
"hum hain.. Darwaja kholo"
aawaj Viru ki thi.. Sneha ne jhat se darwaja khol diya..," aa gaye.. kya raha?"
"Bhaiya yahan nahi aaye hain kya..?" Raj ne ulta usi se sawaal kiya..
"kya matlab?" Sneha ka dil dhak se rah gaya..," kahan hain wo? yahan toh nahi aaye..
"Gadi toh unki wahin par khadi hai... fone karne ki kahkar nikle thhe.. hamne kareeb 1:30 gahnte unka intzaar kiya.. fir socha kya pata yahin aa gaye hon.. isiliye hum aa gaye..." Raj ne chintit swar mein uttar diya...
Sneha bina kuchh soche samjhe hi rone lagi...," unhone pahle hi kaha tha ki rohtak mein unko khatra hai.." subakti huyi Sneha ke gaalon se mote mote aansoo bahne lage..
Raj ne viru ko Bed par lita diya.. dono ki samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ki wo kya karein; kya kahein... kuchh der baad Raj uthkar Sneha ke paas aaya," aa jayenge.. aap ro kyun rahi hain.. hum chhod aayenge.. aapko jahan jana hai..." Sneha ko kahan jana tha.. wo ab ja bhi kahan sakti thi... Mohan ke sang sapnon ka, armano ka jo gulistan Sneha ne apne dil mein sahej liya tha, uske aalawa ab iss jahan mein uska bacha hi kya tha.. papa? jisne mehaj apni Rajniti ke liye shatranj ki bisaat par mohre ki tarah se uska istemal kiya tha.. uske paas? nahi.. kabhi nahi! agar wo aisa sochti bhi toh kis munh se.. wah khud uske khilaf bagawat par utar aayi thi.. aur Shalini wala case surkhiyon mein aane par toh usko apne 'baap' se nafrat si ho gayi thi....
"chinta na karein aap... lijiye.. aap fone kar lijiye..." Raj ne apna fone uthakar Sneha ko de diya...
"oh haan.. par uska fone toh off hi rahta hai.. aksar.. chalo try karti hoon..!" ummeed ki kiran najar aane se uski subakiyan kuchh kam huyi aur usne Vicky ka no. dial kiya.. par jaisa Sneha ne socha tha waisa hi huaa.. fone off tha.. Sneha ko Mohan ki bhi chinta ho rahi thi aur apni bhi.. wah bed par baithkar apna sir pakadkar rone lagi....
"tum ro kyun rahi ho.. wo thodi bahut der mein aa hi jayenge.... waise tumhare paas ghar ka no. bhi toh hoga na.. wahan pata kar lijiye agar unhone ghar par fone kiya ho toh.. waise wo bhai sahab aapke lagte kya hain?" Viru bebas tha.. uske paas aakar uske aansoo nahi ponchh sakta tha...
kya batati Sneha.. kya naam deti 2 din pahle bane iss dil ke rishte ko.. usko darr tha ki agar wo sachchayi batati hai toh kahin dono darr kar kuchh ulta seedha na kar dein.. maslan security officer ko fone wagairah.. pratyuttar mein wo bilakh padi..," Mohan.. kahan ho tummmmmmm???"

Sneha ka wo karun pralaap sunkar dono ka dil dahal gaya.. Raj uske paas jakar baith gaya," aap aise na royein.. main chhod aaunga aapko jahan jana hai... dekhiye yahan par hum as a tudent rah rahe hain... kisi ne aapka rona sun liya toh log tarah tarah ki baatein karenge.. pls.. aap sabra se kaam lein.. wo aate hi honge..." Raj kah toh raha tha ki wo aa jayenge.. par chinta usko khud ko bhi hone lagi thi.. ab tak toh usko yahin par aa jana chahiye tha.. 3 ghante ke kareeb hone wale the usko gayab huye...
Sneha ne jaise taise khud ko sambhala..," kya main yahin rah sakti hoon.. jab tak wo nahi aata?" usne apne aansoo ponchh liye.. sach mein hi uska rona unn becharon ko museebat mein daal sakta tha.. aur khud usko bhi...
" kya?.. haan.. par.. mera matlab hai ki..." Raj ko koyi shabd hi na mila aage kuchh kahne ko.. kaise rah sakti hai wo yahan.. ladkon ke kamre mein.. Raj ne prashan soochak najron se Viru ki aur dekha...
"haan.. rah le behan.. jab tak tera dil kare tab tak rah yahin par.. main kah doonga.. meri behan hai.. logon ki aisi ki taisi..! log toh bolte hi rahte hain.." Viru ne faisla suna diya..
Sneha sunkar chowk padi.. usne apni julfein peechhe karke najrein uthakar Viru ki aur dekha.. kuchh pal toh wo vismay se apni aankhein faade huye usko dekhti rahi.. boojhe huye chehre par ek maddhaym si muskaan doud gayi.. aur aansoon fir se bahne lage.. usko yakin hi nahi ho raha tha ki usko 'bhai' mil gaya hai..
viru uski taraf dekhkar muskurane laga toh sneha se raha na gaya.. lagbhag doudti huyi si wo uske bed ki aur gayi aur ghutne jameen par rakhkar uski chhati par sir rakh liya.. aur subakti rahi...
"ab bhi kyun ro rahi hai tu.. main hoon na.. tera bhai.." Viru ne uska chehra apne haathon mein lekar upar uthaya...
"ro nahi rahi bhaiya.. samet nahi paa rahi hoon.. Raksha bandhan par mile iss anokhi khushi ko.. mera koyi bhai nahi tha.. aaj se pahle.." Sneha khil uthi..
"ab toh hai na.. Viru!" Viru ki aankhein chamak rahi thi...
"mujhe kyun bhool rahe ho.. main bhi toh hoon.." Raj bhi sneha ki barabar mein aa baitha...
"behti ganga mein haath dho raha hai.. kyun? chal aaja tu bhi" Viru ne kaha aur dono Raj ke chehre ko dekhkar khilkhila uthhe...... Vicky ke intzaar mein din kab 7 baj gaye teeno ko pata hi nahi chala.. Sneha rah rah kar bechain ho jati thi.. par ab usko apni nahi sirf Mohan ki chinta thi.. usko toh bhai mil gaye thhe.. par Mohan ka yun achanak gayab ho jana uski pareshani ka sabab bana hua tha.. Sneha rah rah kar khamosh ho jati aur shunya mein jhankne lagti...
"chinta kyun kar rahi ho sanu.. wo koyi bachche thhode hi hain.. aa jayenge.." Viru ne Sneha ka hath pakad kar uska dhyan wapas kheencha...
Sneha ne haan mein sir hilaya aur apni nam ho chali aankhon ko pounchh liya...
"Sneha toh hai hi abhi.. main college chala jaaun? kal bhi nahi ja paye thhe.." Raj ne khade hote huye poochha..

[liljohn]

"theek hai.. tum naha lo.. waise bhi mujhe koyi khas dikkat toh hone nahi wali hai.. nashta karke nahi jaaoge kya?" viru bola....
"abhi toh main late ho raha hoon.. aakar hi dekhunga.. college mein kha loonga kuchh.. tumhare liye lakar de jata hoon..." Raj bahar nikalne laga...
"mere liye toh meri behan bana degi.. kyun Sneha?" Viru Sneha ko dekhkar muskuraya....
"par... mujhe khana banana nahi aata hai... kabhi banaya hi nahi.." Sneha ne najrein uthhakar Viru ko dekha...
"koyi baat nahi.. main sikha doonga na.. bus tum waisa karti jana jaise mein bataaunga.. Ja Raj Bread aur butter le aa..." Virender Sneha ko vyast rakhna chahta tha.. jab tak Vicky nahi aata... usko pata tha ki wo khali rahegi toh jyada pareshan rahegi...
Raj ne sneha ki aur dekha.. Sneha muskura padi..,"theek hai.. par kuchh ulta seedha ban gaya toh mujhe mat bolna baad mein.. pahle bol rahi hoon" aur hansne lagi...
Raj uski hansi ka jawaab hulki muskurahat se dekar bahar nikal gaya....
"kya baat hai bhaiya? Raj kuchh pareshan sa lag raha hai..?" Sneha ne Raj ke jate hi viru se poochha..
"hummm.. wahi toh main bhi dekh raha hoon.. kal se isko pata nahi kya ho gaya hai..?" Viru ne jawaab diya..
"aapne iss-se poochha ye rat ko kahan gaya tha...?"
"na.. par shayad mujhe pata hai ye kahan gaya hoga..?"
"kahan?" Sneha ko bhi utsukta huyi jaan'ne ki...
"Rahne do.. tumhare matlab ki baat nahi hai..." kahkar viru ne karwat badal li..
"batao na bhaiya.. aise kyun kar rahe ho.. main fir se ro padoongi..." Sneha ne uski baju pakad kar wapas apni taraf kheench liya....
" theek hai.. usko aane do.. pahle pakka toh kar loon.. main jo soch raha hoon.. wo sahi bhi hai ya nahi.." Virender ne baat poori ki bhi nahi thi ki raj aa gaya..," ye lo.. aur ye khidki band rakhna.. "
"khidki ke bachche.. tune ye toh bataya hi nahi ki tu gaya kahan thha.. Rat ko..?" Viru ne aate hi sawaal daga...
"bata doonga bhai.. abhi toh late ho raha hoon...?" kahte huye Raj bathroom mein ghusne laga...
"uski maa aayi thhi abhi yahan.. tumhe poochh rahi thhi..." Viru ne paansa fainka..
"kkyaaa? par kyun?.. mera matlab koun aayi thi.. kiski maa?" Raj ne hadbada kar kaha...
"jiske ghar tu raat ko gaya tha.. uski maa..? viru ke aisa kahte hi raj ka chehra safed pad gaya.. uski haalat par dono pate pakadkar hansne lage...
"kya hai bhai.. khamkhwah dara diya tha... tune sneha ko kuchh bata diya kya?" Raj ne unko hansta dekhkar raahat ki saans li......
"nahi.. abhi tak toh nahi.. par abhi bataaunga.. tadka lagakar.. tu chala ja pahle.." Viru ne hanste huye kaha...
"kya hai ye...? bhai tu bhi na.. main nahi jata college..." Raj touliye ko patak kar wahin baith gaya..
"theek hai.. mat ja.. jo mujhe nahi pata wo tu bata dena..." khilkhilate huye Viru ne Sneha ko hath diya.. Sneha ne bhi taal se taal milayi...
"pls bhai.. tere hath jodta hoon.. meri ijjat ka falooda kyun nikal raha hai.." Raj dono hath jodkar gidgidane ki mudra mein aa gaya...
"kyun jab munh kala karane gaya tha tab nahi nikla ijjat ka faalooda..." Viru aur Sneha jor jor se hans rahe thhe.. Raj ka chehra dekhne layak ho gaya tha...
"theek hai toh fir.. teri bhi baat main bataungaa wapas aakar.. jitna bhola ban raha hai.. utna nahi hai ye.. college mein ek bhi ladki iss'se baat nahi karti.. sab ko dara ke rakhta hai.." aur Raj ki baat dono ki jordar hansi mein dab kar rah gayi.. Raj ko kuchh bolte na bana toh wapas bathroom mein ghus gaya...
Naha dhokar munh fulaye huye hi Raj college chala gaya...
"chalo.. batao.. ab kaise banega.. nashta..?" Sneha ne butter aur bread uthaye aur viru ke paas aa gayi.. "Raj! tumhe Sir bula rahe hain..!"
Raj aawaj se hi pahchan gaya.. yeh priya thi.. uski aawaj mein ek ajeeb si mithas thi... jabki Riya ki aawaj mein alhadpan jhalakta tha....
Raj class se bahar nikla.. Priya pahle se hi bahar thi.. Priya ko undekha karte huye wah kuchh kadam aage badha par fir Priya ki aur mud gaya," kounse Sir?" Raj ki aawaj mein rookhapan tha...
"wwo.. sorry Raj.. Really..!" Priya uss'se najrein nahi mila pa rahi thi..
"kounse sir bula rahe hain..?" Raj ne uski baat ko andekha karne ka dikhawa kiya...
"kya tum mujhe maaf nahi karoge Raj? tumhe pata hai.. mujhe ek pal ke liye bhi neend nahi aayi... plz maaf kar do... kar do na.." Priya idhar udhar dekh rahi thhi.. kahin koyi dekh toh nahi raha...
"maaf to tum mujhe kar do.. main bhi dusron ke jaisa hoon na.. badtameej..!" Raj ka gussa toh uski pahli request par hi pighalne laga tha.. ab toh wah sirf dikhawa kar raha tha.. Priya ko apne liye tadapta dekh Raj ko bahut sukoon mil raha tha...
"mmera wo matlab nahi tha Raj.. main darr gayi thi.. tumhari kasam... aaj ke..."
Priya ne apni baat poori ki bhi nahi thi ki wahan riya aa dhamki," tumhe pata hai Raj.. ye sari Rat subakti rahi.. main bhi nahi so saki.. iske chakkar mein.. ab isko maafi de bhi do..." Riya ne apna vote Priya ke paksh mein dala...
"agar tum nahi bata rahi ki kounse Sir bula rahe hain.. toh main wapas ja raha hoon..!" Raj ne Riya ki baat ka koyi jawab nahi diya...
"maine jhooth bola tha.. tumse baat karne ke liye.. main tumhari kasam...." aur priya ki baat adhoori hi rah gayi.. Raj wapas mud kar class mein chala gaya...
" tu chinta mat kar Priya... ye kahin nahi jane wala.. main sab samajh rahi hoon.. ye tumse badla le raha hai bus.. chal aa class mein chalte hain.. aa naaaa!" riya ne Priya ka hath pakad kar class ki aur kheench liya...
-----------------------------------------------------
" Ajeeb aadmi hai yaar tu bhi.. uss ladki ko aise hi chhod aaya.. anjaan ladkon ke paas?" Shamsher ko vicky ki baat par bahut gussa aaya...
"chinta mat kar bhai.. nihayat hi shareef ladke hain.. usko pyar se rakhenge.. 2-4 din ki toh baat hai.. tab tak main Murari ko nipta loonga..." Vicky fone par Shamsher se baat kar raha tha," waise bhi toh usko loharu chhodkar aisa hi karne ka plan tha.. Loharu chhodne par baad mein tension aa sakti thi.. uski samajh mein kuchh nahi aayega.. maine usko samjha rakha hai ki meri jaan ko khatra ho sakta hai.. agar kuchh ho jaye toh tum kisi bhi soorat mein apne bayan mat badalna..."
"yaar tujhe bayano ki padi hai... wo ladke college mein padhte hain yaar.. darr jayenge.." Shamsher ne vicky se gusse mein kaha...
"tu chinta kyun kar raha hai bhai.. Sneha bahut samajhdar hai.. wo sambhal sakti hai agar kuchh ulta seedha huaa toh..! aur maine apna ek aadmi bhi aaspaas jama rakha hai.. agar kuchh hone bhi laga toh wo Sneha ko mera naam lekar le udega..." Vicky ne Shamsher ko tasalli dene ki koshish ki..
"par maan lo tujhe multiplex mil bhi gaya.. baad mein kya hoga... uss bechari ka!" Shamsher Sneha ko lekar chintit tha...
"hona kya hai.. jyada se jyada uska baap uska kharcha nahi dega na.. main de doonga.. aur bol?" Vicky ne jawaab diya...
"yaar.. teri yahi baat galat hai.. tu sab cheejon ko paise se tol kar dekhta hai.. aakhir wo tujhse pyar karti hai.." Shamsher ke mann mein abhi bhi kayi sawaal thhe..
"to main uss'se pyar karta rahunga na.. time nikal kar.. bahut mast hai sali.. aisi bala maine aaj tak nahi dekhi..." Vicky ne batteesi nikalte huye kaha...
"tera kuchh nahi ho sakta bhai.. tu toh politicians se bhi ek kadam aage badh gaya hai.. khair jaisa tu theek samjhe...!" Shamsher ne topic par baat karna vyarth samjha..,"waise kahan rahte hain.. wo ladke..?"
"S.H.O. Vijender ke ghar ke theek saamne... tu ye bata.. Tough se baat ki ya nahi..."
"haan.. kar li.. wo toh kah raha tha.. itni si baat mujhe nahi bol sakta tha kya? khair.. aaj Raat 8:00 baje seedha thhane chala jana.. tough aur murari wahin milenge.. kar lena jo baat karni hai.. khulkar.. maine sab samjha diya hai..." Shamsher ne bujhe mann se kaha...
"thank u boss! tussi great ho.." kahkar vicky ne khushi khushi fone kaat diya tha.. wo man hi man uchhal raha tha.. uske ek hi teer ne jaane kitne shikar kar liye thhe... par haan.. ek maasoom bhi uski chapet mein aa gayi thi... Sneha! " chalo! janab bula rahe hain?" C.I.A. thana Bhiwani ke ek sipahi ne tala kholte huye salaakhon ke andar murjhaye se baithe Murari se kaha.. Sham ke kareeb 5 baje the..
"Dekha.. maine kaha tha na.. tumhara janab jyada der tak mujhe aise nahi baitha sakta.. koyi chhota mota aadmi nahi hoon main.. baad mein uss'se nipatunga bhi... ye 'kanoon' chhote logon ke liye bante hain... hamare liye nahi.. aa gaya hoga fone.. upar se uske kisi 'baap' ka...." Murari ne Rumal se apni gardan par chhalak aaye pasine aur mail ki papdi saaf karte huye kaha aur choudi chhati karke bahar nikal liya...
"ab hamein kya pata sahab.. hum toh huqum ke gulam hain.. jaisa aadesh janaab karenge, maan'na padega.. waise meri poori humdardi aapke sath hai.. agli baar bhagwan ki daya se jab aap mantri honge toh main aapse jaroor miloonga.. yaad rakhiyega mera chehra..." Sipahi ne masoomiyat se kahte huye apne no. badhwa liye.. Murari ki najar mein..
Murari ne khush hokar uski peeth thonki," yahan kuchh len den nahi chalta kya re?"

"sab chalta hai sahab.. har jagah chalta hai ye toh... par na kisi ko kuchh upar milta.. na neeche.. janab DGP haryana ke bhatije hain na... hum toh bus intzaar hi karte rahte hain.. ki kab diwali aayegi aur kab bonus milega.. sala tankhwah ke alawa ek cup chay bhi nahi naseeb hoti fokat mein toh... iss thane mein... meri badli jaroor karwa dena sahab...." Sipahi ne fir se line mari...

[liljohn]

"tum chinta mat karo beta.. mujhe kursi milte hi tumhari promotion pakki.. par ye batao.. baat kiss'se karni padegi.. len den ki.." Murari uske kaan mein fusfusaya...
Sipahi ne koyi jawab nahi diya.. Tough ke office ke saamne pahunch gaye thhe dono..," chalo sahab.. baki baatein baad mein..."
Murari andar ghus gaya.. Andar chal Rahe A.C. ki thand mein murari ko apna office yaad aa gaya.....
Tough apni gaddedar kursi par aaram se table ke neeche pair failaye huye adhleta sa baitha tha.. uske saamne 30 ki umar ke aaspas ke 2 pahalwan se dikhne wale achchhe gharon ke log khade thhe..
"mujhe bulaya inspector?" Murari ne gardan tedhi karte huye poochha.. rassi jal chuki thi.. par bal abhi tak nahi gaye the..
tough ne jaise Murari ko suna hi nahi.. wah table par aage ki aur jhuka aur saamne khade logon se bola," baitho!"
Jaise hi unn dono ne baithne ke liye table ke saamne khadi kursi kheenchi; tough ubal pada...," saalo.. baithne ke liye kursi chahiye tumhe.. haan? udhar baitho.. neeche!"
"janab hamari bhi koyi ijjat hai.. bahar gaanv wale aaye huye hain.. kyun naak katwa rahe ho..?" unmein se ek ne hath jodkar kaha...
"hummm.. ijjat.. tumhari bhi ijjat hai.. saalo.. jab gaanv ki ladkiyon ko kheton mein pakadte ho toh tab kya tumhari ijjat gaand marwane chali jati hai... tum ijjat ki baat karte ho.. behancho..." Tough khada ho gaya..," kapde nikalo... dekhta hoon tumhari ijjat kitni gahri hai..!"
"nahi.. janab.. ye toh pagal hai.. lo baith gaye.. aap toh mayi baap hain.. aapke saamne neeche baithne mein bhala kaisi sharam..?" kahte huye dusra tapak se deewar ke sath sat kar jameen par baith gaya.. aur pahle wale ko bhi kheench kar bitha liya...
"Rajesh!" Tough ne sipahi ko aawaj lagayi...
"ji.. janab.." Rajesh turant darwaje par prakat ho gaya...
"ladki ke baap ko bulakar laao...!"
"ji janab.." Rajesh turant gayab ho gaya aur jab wapas aaya toh uske sath ek adhed umra ka aadmi tha...
"namaste janaab!" aadmi ne kaha aur andar aa gaya.. uski aankhein bhari huyi thi..
"bolo taau! kya karna hai inka..?" Tough ne bade hi naram lahje mein baat ki..
uss aadmi ne nafrat aur glani se jameen par baithe dono ki aur dekha aur apni najrein hata li..," sab kuchh aap par chhod diya hai janaab.. ab hum toh kisi ko munh dikhane layak rahe nahi.. hamari beti.." kah kah kar buddha foot foot kar rone laga.. uska gala bhar aaya...
"theek hai.. aap jakar munshi ke paas bitiya ke bayan darj karwa do...! main kal inko court mein produce kar doonga..."
"ek minute janaab.. kya hum akele mein inse ek baar baat kar lein... idhar aana taau!" dusre wale aadmi ne kaha...
"aap baat karna chahte ho taau?" Tough ne poochha..
buddhe ne koyi jawab na diya.. unke bulane par wo inkar nahi kar saka aur barbas hi unki aur chala gaya....
kuchh kshan dono aadmi uske kaan mein khusar fusar karte rahe.. buddhe ke andar ka swabhiman jaag utha aur kaskar ek tamacha unmein se ek ko jad diya.. dono tough ki wajah se khoon ka ghoont peekar rah gaye....
"kya hua taau? kya kah rahe hain ye..." Tough ne dono ko ghoorte huye kaha..
Buddha fafak pada..," kah rahe hai.. case wapas le lo warna tumhari chhoti beti ko bhi......" iss'se aage wo na bol paya....
Tough kitni hi der se apne khoon mein aa rahe ubaal ko roke baitha tha..," kapde faado inn behan ke lodon ke... aur naga karke ghumaao bahar.. tab aayegi inko akkal..!"
Tough ke munh se nikalne bhar ki der thi.. Rajesh apne sath do aur apne hi jaise hatte katte security officer walon ko lekar andar aa gaya...
"hamein maaf kar do sahab.. hamne toh khali chummi khayi thi.. aur choochiyan dabayi thi bus..... pls.. janaab.. iss baar chhod do.. nahi.. pls fado mat.. hum nikal rahe hain na.." Tough ka roudra roop dekhkar dono andar tak dahal gaye... aur sath mein Murari bhi.. uske chehre par pasina chhalak aaya tha.. aur roungte khade ho gaye thhe...
Sipahiyon ke kaan toh bus apne janaab ki aawaj hi jaise sunte thhe... 2 minute ke baad hi wo dono sirf kachchhe baniyan mein khade thhe...
"itni be-ijjati sahan nahi hoti janab.. hamari bhi pahunch upar tak hai.. centre mein minister hai hamara mousa...!" Pahle wale aadmi jhak maar raha tha..
"ek mantri toh ye khada.. tumhare saamne.. isko bhi nanga karke dikhaaoon kya?" Tough ne kaha toh Murari ko jhurjhuri si aa gayi.. uski taangein kaanpne lagi thhi khade khade...
Dono ke munh achanak sil gaye.. ab tak murari par toh unka dhyan gaya hi nahi tha.. Murari ko iss tarah bheegi billi bane khada dekh unko apni aukat ka ahsaas ho gaya....
"dono ko hawalat mein daal do.. sham ko inki gaand mein mirchi lagani hai.... chalo taau ji.. aap bayan darj karwa do.." tough ne kaha aur fir Murari ki aur ghoorte huye bola..," baitho.. main aata hoon...! Tough jaise hi wapas office mein aaya, Murari ki halat dekhkar wo apni hansi nahi rok paya.. wo murari ko baithne ko bolkar gaya tha.. aur murari theek usi jagah jakar neeche baitha huaa tha jis jagah par kuchh minute pahle wo do aadmi baithe thhe.. bilkul usi andal mein.. shareef aadmiyon ki tarah... uske dono hath ghutno par rakhe huye thhe..
" yahan aa jao.. upar.. kursi par.." Tough ne apni kursi par jamte huye kaha....
Murari ki jaan mein jaan aayi.. wo toh ye soch raha tha ki uske sath bhi ab kuchh aisa hi hone wala hai.. par abhi bhi uske dil ko poori tasalli nahi huyi thi..," aap kaho toh main toh neeche bhi baith jaaunga.. inspector........ sahab! main toh jameen se juda huaa aadmi hoon.." Murari ne thhook gatka....
"haan.. tumhari jameen kal dekh li thi.. rahi sahi.. aaj rat ko dekh lenge.." Tough ne muskurate huye kaha..
"kkkk.. kya matlab...?" Murari sihar utha...
"kuchh nahi.. kisi aadmi ka fone aaya tha.. kah raha tha..."
Murari ki aankhein chamak uthhi..," Delhi se aaya tha kya fone????"
"Delhi walon ko bhool jao murari.. darasal unke kahne par hi aapki hawa tight ki gayi hai.. party aapki wajah se apni chhawi badnaam nahi karna chahti.. khair jiska bhi fone aaya tha.. kah raha tha ki usko pata hai ki iss waqt tumhari beti kahan hai..?" Tough ne wahan rakhe ek gilas pani se apna gala tar kiya.. .
"pls inspector sahab.. mujhe uss aadmi se milwa dejiye.. main bhi pareshan hoon.. apni beti ke liye... chahe aap jo bhi kharcha pani kahein.. main dene ko taiyaar hoon...
tough ne uski baat ko najarandaj karke apni baat jari rakhi...," uska naam vicky hai.. maine usko bulwaya hai.. wo bus aane hi wala hoga..."
"Vicky koun.. Rohtak wala.. jo virodhi party mein wahan se ticket ka dawedaar hai..?" Murari ke dimag mein khalbali mach gayi...
"wo mujhe nahi pata.. par haan.. hai wo rohtak se hi.." Tough ne anjan bante huye kaha..
"wahi hoga jaroor.. uski hi sajis hai ye.. kisi ne meri beti ko uske sath dekha bhi tha.. wardaat wale din.. inspector sahab.. usne meri beti ko behla rakha hai.. aap yakin kijiye..." Murari kursi par baitha baitha haanfne laga.. ek hi saans mein wo ye sab bol gaya tha....
"main toh yakeen kar bhi loon.. par court toh saboot maangega.. aur tumhari beti ke bayan tumhare khilaf hai.. fir bhi chalo.. aane do.. dekhte hain baat karke..." tough ne kaha hi tha ki darwaje par Rajesh prakat hua," Janab.. koyi vicky aaya hai.. kah raha hai.. aapse milne ka time maanga hai...
"Bhej do usko andar...!" tough ne kaha... Murari ka chehra tamtama uthha...

"Namaskar janab!" vicky ne office mein dakhil hote huye kaha...
"namaskar! kya tum hi...."
"ji haan janab.. main hi vicky hoon.. ye mujhe achchhi tarah se jaante hain..! kyun neta ji..?" Vicky ne murari ki aur aankh daba di..
"Inspector sahab..! mujhe 100 pratishat visvash hai ki yahi aadmi meri barbadi ke pichhe hi hai.. aap isko abhi giraftaar kar lijiye.. main bekasoor hoon.." ro hi toh pada tha murari....
"tum faisla suna rahe ho ki rai de rahe ho...?" Tough ne deewar ke sath kursi sarkate huye kaha.....
"nahi inspector sahab.. main faisla kaise suna sakta hoon.. faisla karne wale toh aap hain.. fir bhi main yakeen ke sath kah sakta hoon ki iske peechhe isika hath hai.. isne meri beti behka li.. mujhe badnaam kar diya...." Murari ko tough ne beech mein hi tok diya...
"aur shalini.. uske kapde bhi isi ne faade thhe kya?"
"wwo.. main behak gaya tha.. gusse main tha main.. mujhe maaf kar do inspector saheb.. main shalini bitiya se bhi maafi maang loonga.." Murari ne kaha..
vicky Murari ka ye dabbu roop dekhkar mushkil se apni hansi rok pa raha tha.. inspector sahib ko ijjat jo bakhsani thi..
"haan toh vicky ji.. kya kahna hai aapka..?" tough vicky se mukhatib huaa...
"yahi ki mujhe pata hai ki iski ladki iss waqt kahan hai.. wo security officer ke paas aur court mein apne bayan dena chahti hai.. isi silsile mein kisi ne mujhse contact kiya tha..." vicky bol hi raha tha ki Murari beech mein tapak pada..
"nahi inspector sahab.. iski sari baatein jhoothi hain.. isne khud ye drama racha hai aur ab yahan mujhe blackmail karne aaya hai..."
"tum chup ho jawoge ya mujhe tumhe hawalat mein bhejna padega...?" tough ne rukhi aawaj mein Murari se kaha," main koyi pagal toh nahi hoon.. main poochh raha hoon na sab kuchh.."
"ji!" murari bheegi billi ban gaya...
"haan toh vicky ji... ye blackmailing ka kya funda hai.." Tough ne vicky se poochha...
"kuchh nahi hai janab! main isko blackmail kyun karunga.. iss jaise logon ki toh main shakal bhi dekhna nahi chahta.. main toh sirf aapko jaankari dene aaya tha.. wo bhi isiliye ki khud iski beti aisa chahti hai..." Vicky ne sahaj bhav se kaha...
"hummm.. to kahan hai ladki.. chaliye uske bayan lekar court mein pesh kar dete hain.. ye apne aap bhugtega..!" Tough ne Vicky se kaha.. karya wahi ek tarfa chal rahi thi.. har taraf se Murari ko dabaya aur daraya ja raha tha..
"chaliye.. main toh isi kaam se aaya hoon..!" Vicky khada ho gaya...
"ek minute.. daroga ji.. kya main vicky se akele mein baat kar sakta hoon.." Murari ko kuchh samajh nahi aa raha tha.... uska dimag khisak chuka tha...
"kar lijiye.. mujhe kya hai.. hum toh dilon ko jodne ka hi kaam karte hain.. basharte.. vicky ji ko koyi aitraj na ho toh..." kahkar Tough ne vicky ki aur dekha...
"nahi.. mujhe iss ghatiya insaan se koyi baat nahi karni.. main toh roj duaa karta tha ki iska asli chehra duniya ke saamne aaye... isko 10 saal se kum toh kya saja hogi ab.. hai na janaab?" vicky ne tirchhi najron se Murari ka chehra dekhte huye kaha...
"haan.. agar iski beti ne aur shalini ne court mein iske khilaf bayan de diye toh ye nahi bach sakta.. haan agar...!" Tough ne baat adhoori chhod di...
"agar kya.. inspector sahab.. main kuchh bhi karne ko taiyar hoon.. mujhe bacha lijiye pls.. main aapke paanv padta hoon.. main koyi bhi keemat dene ko taiyar hoon..!" Murari kursi se uthh gaya...
"Main na toh aapko saja se bacha sakta hoon aur na hi saza dilwa sakta hoon.. waise meri aapse poori humdardi hai.. aakhir aapke neeche rahkar hi toh hamein kaam karna hai sari umar.. par sab kuchh unn ladkiyon ke hi hathon mein hai..." Tough ne nakli sahanubhooti darshate huye kaha...
"par ek toh aapke paas hi hai na.. kum se kum usko toh samjha dijiye.." Murari gidgida utha tha..
"ek se kya hoga.. saja toh dono ki ek sath hi milni hai.. agar tumhari ladki wala maamla sulajhta hai toh main koshish kar sakta hoon.. par wo maamla tabhi sudhar sakta hai jab aapki ladki bayan na de.. ya media ko diye bayano se mukar jaye.." Tough ne usko iss uljhan se bahar nikalne ka raasta sujhaya.. aur bahar nikalne ki chabi sirf Vicky ke paas hi thi..
"main apni beti ko kaise bhi karke chup kara doonga.. aap mujhe uss'se milwa dijiye.." Murari hath jodkar gidgidaya..
"Milwa dijiye Vicky ji.. agar aap theek samjhe.. bechre ka bhala ho jayega.. waise mujhe koyi dikkat nahi hai...." Tough ne chutki li...
iss'se pahle vicky kuchh bolta.. Murari uske pairon mein gir pada..," Vicky bhai.. ek baar baat kar lo pls.. main tumhe kabhi hulke main najar nahi aaunga.. aur bolo..."
vicky apna man sa banane ki acting karta hua tough se bola," Theek hai janab.. agar aapko bhi yahi sahi lagta hai toh main baat kar leta hoon.. akele mein...!"
"theek hai.. tum yahin baitho.. mujhe kisi kaam se bahar jana hai.. main aadhe ghante mein aata hoon.. " kahkar tough bahar nikal gaya..
Murari bhikhari ki tarah vicky ke chehre ko taakne laga...
"haan.. bol Murari!" Vicky ne Murari ko ghoora...
"tu toh mujhse bhi bada kamina nikla re.. seedhe matlab ki baat par aaja.. bata.. meri beti mujhe sounpne ka kya lega?" Murari ki aawaj mein gussa aur bebasi saaf jhalak rahi thi...
"wo multiplex!" vicky ne do took jawab diya..
" ja le le... badle mein Sneha mujhe mil jayegi na...." Murari ne kaha..
"maine kya uska aachar daalna hai? jahan chahe chali jaye.. mujhe kya? waise bhi main toh ladki ko ek baar hi use karta hoon...." Vicky ne cigarettee nikal kar sulga li...
"na.. na.. mujhe chahiye.. wo haramjadi... manjoor ho toh bolo..." Murari ka chehra nafrat aur kadwahat se bhar uthha...
" tujhe main bata doon ki wo tere paas rahna nahi chahti.. nafrat karti hai tujhse.. teri shakal bhi dekhna nahi chahti... .. bayan mein nahi hone doonga.. meri guarantee..fir tu kya karega uska ?" Vicky ne uski aankhon mein jhankte huye kaha..
Murari ki aankhein laal ho gayi.. nathune fool gaye aur kisi bhediye ki tarah gurrane laga," Uska wahi karronga jo uski maa ka kiya tha.. sali kutiya... behan chod.. usko nangi karke apne saamne chudwaaunga... fir jangli kutton ke aage daal dunga.. usne sari duniya ko bata hi diya ki wo meri aulad nahi hai... ek baar mujhe sounp de bus.. bol manjoor hai ki nahi...?"
Vicky ke jahan se ek lambi saans aah ke roop mein nikli.. kaisa hai Murari? Aadmi hai ya bhediya.. kuchh minute ke moun ke baad bola..," majoor hai.. ladki tumhe mil jayegi.. mujhe multiplex ke kagaj milne ke baad..."
"to fir milao hath.. tum apna fone do.. main abhi uske malik ko fone karta hoon.. tum chaho toh kal hi usko paise dekar multiplex apne naam karwa sakte ho..." Murari ne vicky ka hath apne hath main pakad liya...
vicky ne apna hath chhudwaya aur jor jor se hansne laga...," tu kya samajhta hai.. maine itni mehnat sirf tujhse no objection certificate lene ke liye ki hai.. nahi! wo toh main kabhi bhi uski kanpati par rivolver rakhkar khareed sakta tha... ab wo multiplex tu khareed kar mujhe dega.. yani paise tere honge.. aur maal mujhe milega..!"

[liljohn]

"matlab tu samajhta hai ki main apne paas se tujhe 8 karod rupaiya doonga... ?" Murari ne hairat se uski aur dekha...
"8 nahi 10 karod.. aur mujhe pata hai ki tu dega.. kyunki 10 karod ganwane 10 saal jail mein kaatne se kahin jyada aasan hai tere liye.. 10 saalon mein toh tu pata nahi kitne 10 karod kama lega...!" Vicky ne katil muskaan Murari ki aur fainki...

Murari ne apna sir table par rakh liya aur kuchh der udhedbun mein pada raha... fir achanak uthkar bola," main sirf 8 karod doonga.. aur mujhe wo loundiya hath ke hath chahiye.. bol kab de sakta hai...?"
"jab tum chaho.. par abhi toh tumhari 14 din ki security officer custody hai na?" vicky ne Murari se sawaal kiya...
"tumhe jab chahe paise mil jayenge.. tum batao.. kab la sakte ho Sneha ko..?" Murari ne sawaal par sawaal mara...
" main baanke ko bata doonga...! sochkar.." Vicky ne ajjeb se andaj mein baanke ka naam liya...
"baanke... tum baanke ko kaise jaante ho?" Murari chounk kar uchhal pada....
"kyun hairani huyi na... Mujhe kidnap karne kuchh chooson ko sath lekar aaya tha.. abhi mere gusalkhane mein kaid hain teeno.. agar tum aaj nahi maante toh tum par ek case aur lagna tha.. " Vicky jor jor se hansne laga....
tabhi tough ne office mein pravesh kiya..," lagta hai kuchh soudebazi ho gayi tum dono ki...?"
"nahi.. inspector sahab.. hum dono mein kuchh galatfahmiyan thi.. jo aaj sath baithne se door ho gayi.. waise vicky ji kah rahe hain ki ye Sneha ko manane ki koshish karenge... apne bayan wapas lene ke liye.. kyun vicky ji?" Murari ne baat sapast ki...
"haan murari ji.. " aur kahte huye vicky ne tough ki aur aankh mari...
"Rajesh!" Tough ne aawaj lagayi....
"ji janab.."
"neta ji ko poori ijjat se hawalat mein chhod aao.. subah milte hain inse.. inka khayal rakhna..." Tough ne vyangya kiya...
"inspector sahab.. agar bura na mano toh.. main yahin so jaaoon... wahan machchhar aur garmi jaan nikal dete hain..."
"aap chinta na karein neta ji.. sarkaar kuchh hi dinon mein hawalat mein bhi AC lagwane par vichar kar rahi hai... tab tak pls.. kisi tarah se kaat lein...!" tough ne muskurate huye kaha...
"kab.. ye kaise ho sakta hai..? Murari ko visvas nahi hua..
"ho kyun nahi sakta neta ji.. aajkal hawalat mein aate hi neta log hain.. fir kuchh na kuchh toh sarkar ko sochna hi padega.." Tough ne kaha aur Rajesh ko use wahan se le jaane ko kaha....
"tu bura fansega kisi din..!" Murari ke jate hi tough ne vicky ko aage badhkar gale laga liya...," ho gaya tumhara kaam?"
Vicky kuchh na bola.. aankh band hote hi usko Sneha ka masoom sa chehra dikhayi diya.. wo bilkul nangi padi thi.. jangli kutton ke beech..... Tough aur vicky dono thane se nikal kar tough ke ghar ki aur chal pade.. lagbhag sare raste Vicky chup hi raha...
"kya baat hai.. tumhe multiplex mil toh gaya na? ya kuchh adachan hai.. ?" Tough ne usko gumsum baithe dekh kaha....
"hummm... haan.. mil jayega!.......... koyi adachan nahi hai..ab!" vicky ne lambi gahri saans chhodi...
"fir bhi tu pareshan lag raha hai.. kya baat hai yaar...? bata toh!" tough ne uska chehra dekhte huye poochha...
"nahi... kuchh nahi hai... kuchh bhi toh nahi.. bus murari ka chehra dekhkar hi ultiyan si aane lagti hain.. bahut kamina hai saala.. sou kutte markar ye 'ek' paida hua hoga..." Vicky ke jabde bhich gaye.. par wo aadhi baat man mein hi pi gaya.. kaise batata ki wo bhi iss baar 'uske' kaminepan mein hissedar hone wala hai... Sneha ko use sounpkar...'" bus! bahut ho gaya.. ye aakhiri baar hai..!" achanak vicky ke munh se nikla...
"kya bahut ho gaya? kya aakhiri baar hai? kahan atka huaa hai bhai...?" Tough ne gadi rok di...
"bus yaar.. ye politics.. bahut hi kutti cheej hai.. soch raha hoon.. chhod doon.. jane kya kya karwati hai sali... Bus ye multiplex mil jaye.. uske baad mein apne baare mein sochunga..." Vicky ki tabiyat si kharaab ho gayi thi.. usko apna shareer toot'ta hua lag raha tha...
"ek baat toh bata yaar.. Sneha bayan nahi deti ... theek hai... par kya tu usko sachchayi batayega? kyunki aaj nahi toh kal usko wapas jane par pata lag hi jayega.. sachchayi ka... fir kya wo tujh par ulta case nahi thhok degi....?" Tough ko poori baat ka gyan nahi tha...
"tu chhod na yaar.. sneha ko.. gadi chala.. mere sir mein dard hai..." Vicky ka sir pahle hi Sneha ke baare mein sochkar fata ja raha tha...
"aise sir dard karne se kaam thode hi chalega..? aage ka sochkar toh chalna hi padega... tune socha hai ki agar uske bayano ka munh teri taraf ghoom gaya toh kya hoga? Murari ki jagah tu mere thane mein baitha hoga.. aur main kuchh kar bhi nahi paaunga......." Tough ne pate ki baat kahi thhi...
"aisaa nahi hoga yaaaaaar.. tu samajhta kyun nahi hai.... wo kabhi aisa nahi karegi..?" Vicky jhallate huye bola.. tough usko baar baar anjane mein hi yaad dila raha tha ki Sneha ke sath kya hone wala hai...
"kyun.. kyun nahi karegi..?" tough ne fir uske dil ke taaron ko chheda..
"heyyy bhagwaaaaan... wo mujhse pyar karti hai.. mere liye mar sakti hai.. mar jayegi...! pls tu ye baat band kar de yaar..." Vicky ka antarman usko kachot raha tha...
"aur tu..??? tu nahi karta kya uss'se pyar? tujhe achchhi nahi lagti kya wo...? agar tu jindagi ke baare mein soch hi raha hai to wo kyun teri jindagi ka hissa nahi ho sakti...? tu hi toh kah raha tha bhai ke saamne.. ki aisi ladki tune aaj tak dekhi hi nahi..." Tough topic band karne ko taiyar hi nahi tha.. ulta baat ko aur jyada kured raha tha..
Vicky jhallate huye gadi se utar gaya.. tough bhi utar kar uske paas chala gaya...," kiss'se bhagne ki koshish kar raha hai tu.. mujhse? ya apne aap se..? kahan tak bhag sakta hai bhag le..
"vicky pyar nahi karta.. bus! meri life mein pyar ke koyi mayne nahi hain.. main apne liye jeeta tha.. jeeta hoon.. aur jiyunga... ! mujhe wapas chhod de.. mujhe gadi lekar kahin jana hai.. abhi.." Vicky bifar utha.. apne aap se hi..
"theek hai.. no problem! chal aa.. wapas chhod deta hoon.." Tough ne usko ek baar bhi rukne ke liye nahi bola... gadi mein baithe aur wapas thane pahunch gaye..
" ek baat maanega?" Vicky ne Tough se kaha..
"haan bol!"
"mujhe ek baar aur murari se milne de... akele mein.. mujhe kuchh jaruri baat karni hain.. aakhiri baar.." Vicky ne kaha..
"tu ek minute yahin thhahar.. main aata hoon.." kahkar tough office mein gaya aur kuchh der baad wapas aaya," chal tu office mein baith.. main murari ko wahin bhejta hoon.."
"theek hai.." kahkar vicky office mein jakar baith gaya...
kuchh der baad badhaal Murari bhi wahin aa pahuncha," kya yaar.. tune meri maa chudwa di.. dekh kitne machchhar kaat chuke hain.."
"kaam ki baat kar.. Sneha tujhe kal hi mil jayegi.. bol paise kahan de raha hai..?" Vicky ne kaha...
"jahan tu mujhe Sneha dega.. wahin.. time bhi tera.. jagah bhi teri..." Murari ne daant peeste huye kaha....
"theek hai.. Kal sham 6 baje.. panipat se delhi ki aur jo do nahrein jati hain.. bawana se kuchh pahle unn dono nahron ke beech milte hain... kaise karna hai.. ye tum bata do.." Vicky ne kaha..
"OK! mere paas aisa plan hai jismein hum mein se koyi cheating nahi kar sakta.." aur murari plan batane laga...
sach mein hi plan fulproof tha.. kahin cheating karne ki gunjayish na thi.. ya toh dono partiyon ko apna apna 'maal' mil jayega.. ya kisi ko bhi kuchh nahi...," lao.. tumhare fone se abhi fone kar doon.. apne kisi khas ko.. Baanke ko toh tum chhod hi doge na..." murari ne kaha...
"haan.. jate hi.."
Vicky ne fone on karke Murari ko de diya......
Murari ne fone karke apne kisi aadmi ko sabkuchh samjha diya.. aur baad mein kaha," yaad rakhana.. meri jamanat hone tak kisi ko bhi khabar nahi honi chahiye ki Sneha hamare paas hai.. usko kaid karke rakhna hai... samajh gaye na...!"
"yes sir..!"
"lo.. ho gayi baat!" Murari ne vicky ko fone de diya....
Vicky bina koyi shabd bole office se bahar nikal gaya.. wah jate huye tough se bhi nahi mila..... vicky mushkil se 5 minute hi chala tha ki uska fone baj uthha..
"oh! fone off karna toh bhool hi gaya tha.. usne fone uthakar dekha.. koyi anjaan no. tha.. vicky ne fone wapas dashboard par rakh diya... call Sneha ki ho sakti thi...
bell band ho jane ke baad wah fone ko uthakar off karne hi wala tha ki fir se usi no. se call aa gayi... kuchh sochte huye usne fone utha liya," Hello!"
Sneha fone lekar bahar bhag aayi," jaan! kahan rah gaye tum? main mar jati toh?"
achanak vicky ko kuchh soojha hi nahi," main aakar bataunga Sanu.. tumhe nahi pata mere sath kya huaa..?"
"hai Ram! kya hua.. tum theek toh ho na..?" Sneha ne apne dil par hath rakhkar poochha... uski dhadkane badh gayi thi...
"haan, abhi main bilkul theek hoon.. tum chinta na karo..!"
"ab aa rahe ho na mere paas..?" Sneha ka dil khushi ke maare dhadak raha thha...
" tum theek toh ho na..?" vicky ko tajjub hua.. yunhi uski aankhein nam ho gayi thi..
"haan main bilkul theek hoon.. Viru aur Raj bhaiya bahut achchhe hain.. pata hai.. maine apni jindagi main pahli baar rakshabandhan manaya hai.. maine dono ko rakhi bandhi..... kitni der mein aa rahe ho...?" Sneha fooli nahi sama rahi thi..
"ab nahi aa sakta main.. kal aaunga.. bahut door hoon.. aur gadi bhi nahi hai mere paas..." Vicky ne jhooth bola..
Sneha mayoos ho gayi," haan.. gadi toh medical mein hi khadi hai na..?"
"haan.. ab rakhoon..?" vicky ne kaha..
"nayiiiii.. kuchh der aur baat karo na... pls.. tumhe pata hai.. tumse baat karte hi 'tumhari chidiya' uchhalne lagi hai.. iska kya karoon..?"
"meri chidiya..? kya matlab?? " vicky ki kuchh samajh mein nahi aaya..
"isko tumne chidiya hi toh kaha tha.. chhoti si..?" Sneha ne apni jaanghein kas li aur uss 'chidiya' ko fudakne se rokne ki koshish karne lagi..
"ohh.. achchha.. ha ha ha" vicky feeki si hansi hanste huye bola..," kal aa raha hoon. na.. ab fone rakh do... main bahut pareshan hoon.. iss waqt.."
"achchha.." Sneha ne munh bana liya... par achanak uske chehre ki rounaq lout aayi," yaad hai na tumne kya wada kiya tha..?"
Vicky ka chehra murjha gaya," haan yaad hai.. ab rakh do fone.."
"haan haan rakhti hoon.. pahle bolo.. I love you!" Sneha fone rakhna hi nahi chah rahi thi...
" rakho na yaar fone.. kah toh raha hoon.. kal aa jaaunga.." kahkar vicky ne fone kaat diya....
Sneha kuchh der yunhi fone ko dekhti rahi.. fir andar jaate hi boli," Mohan bahut pareshan hai.. wo kisi problem mein hai.. achchhe se baat bhi nahi kar paya... aaj aayega bhi nahi..."
"tumhe yahan koyi dikkat hai?" Viru ne poochha...
"nahi toh.. main toh yahan bahut khush hoon.." Sneha ne chahakte huye kaha..
"fir kyun chapar chapar laga rakhi hai... chal aaja shatranj khelte hain.." viru ne kaha.. ek hi din mein wo kitna ghulmil gaye thhe...
"abhi laayi.. din wali baazi ka badla bhi lena hai mujhe.." kahte huye Sneha ne chess-board uthaya aur Viru ke paas bed par baazi jama di... uska ahsaas tak nahi tha.. ki koyi usko bhi aise hi chal chuka hai.. jindagi ki bisaat par.. aur wahan haarte hi mout hai.. sirf mout...
"jab se main college se aaya hoon.. tum logon ne ek bhi aksar padhne nahi diya hai.. tum dono chahte kya ho aakhir?" Raj apne bister par khija huaa baitha tha.. college se aane ke baad dono ne uske khoob maje liye thhe... Priya ka jikar kar kar ke!
"oho.. Raj bhaiya.. hamein pata hai.. aajkal aap padh toh yun bhi nahi rahe.. yahan aakar meri madad karo na.. aapka dil bhi lag jayega.." Sneha ke sath milkar viru ne bhi jor ka thahaka lagaya...
"aakhir tum log chahte kya ho yaar..? theek hai.. lo! band kar di kitab.." Raj ne kitab band karke table par rakhi aur unke sath hi bed par aa baitha," chal ghoda chal... Ghodaaa chal chuhiya.. marwayegi kya Rani ko!!!!!"
Sneha ko galati ka ahsaas ho gaya," thank you bhaiya.. tum kitne achchhe ho.. tum sath baithe rahe toh main jeet hi jaaungi.. par apna dhyan saamne wali khidki main mat laga lena.." Raj ko chhedne ka koyi mouka dono hath se nahi jane de rahe thhe...
"main tumhe kitni baar bata chuka hoon ki aisa kuchh nahi hai... agar thoda bahut kuchh tha bhi toh wo kal khatam ho gaya.. ab band karo yaar iss topic ko.. aur kuchh nahi hai kya baat karne ko..?" Raj ne kaha..
"jab tak tum sach sach nahi bata dete ki kal raat tumhari kitni pitayi huyi, hum tumhara peechha nahi chhodne wale.. kyun Sneha?" Viru ne kaha...
"sahi baat hai bhai.. bilkul sahi baat hai ye toh ho ho... ha ha.. aur ye gayi tumhari Rani... main jeet gayi.. wow.." Sneha khadi hokar koodne lagi...
"ja munh dhokar aa pahle.. hathi bhi kabhi tedha chalta hai..?" viru ne hanste huye kaha...
"main nahi khelti.. bakwas game hai..!" kahte huye Sneha ne sare pyade bikhra diye," batao na Raj.. kya huaa tumhare sath kal.. pls bata do.. hum hansenge nahi.. promice! hai na bhaiya!" Sneha ne viru ki aur dekha aur dono ek baar fir khilkhila pade... " Riya?"
"Hummmm.." Riya ne kitab se najar hata kar Priya ki aur dekha..
"maine Raj ke sath bahut galat kiya na?" Priya sara din udas baithi rahi thi.. college mein bhi.. ghar mein bhi..
"ab bhool bhi ja baat ko.. kuchh nahi hoga.. ek do din mein sab theek ho jayega.." Riya ne usko dilasa di...

[liljohn]

"mujhe nahi lagta! wo mujhse nafrat karne laga hai.. aaj meri aur class mein ek baar bhi nahi dekha.." Priya pagal si ho gayi thi.. Raj ke liye..
"achchha.. tujhe kaise pata..?" Riya ne sawaal kiya....
Priya uthkar Riya ke paas aakar baith gayi," main aaj sara din usi ko dekh rahi thi.. ek akshar bhi nahi padha college mein aaj!"
" virender aaj college kyun nahi aaya..?" Riya ne apne wale ki baat chhed di..
"ab mujhe kya pata? Raj se poochh leti.." Priya ne kaha...
"wo toh tujhe poochhna chahiye tha.. ek baat bataaon?" Riya ne iss andaj mein apne honto ko gol karke kaha mano wah bahut bada Raj kholne wali hai...
"kya?" Priya gour se uske chehre ko dekhne lagi...
"wo ladki jisko humne aaj subah khidki se dekha tha... inmein se kisi ki bhi behan nahi ho sakti..!" Riya ne khulasa kiya..
"kya kah rahi ho.. to fir koun ho sakti hai..?" Priya ke dil par saanp sa late gaya..
"ye toh mujhe nahi pata.. par behan toh inmein se kisi ki hai hi nahi.. mujhe aaj family record wala register office mein rakhkar aane ko bola tha, saini sir ne.. maine dono ka record check kiya tha.. dono mein se kisi ki koyi behan nahi hai..!" Riya ne apne visvas ki wajah batayi....
"tum kahna kya chahti ho? pls mujhe darao mat.." Priya jane kya sochkar darr gayi thi..
"achchha hua.. jo main kahna chahti hoon.. tum bina kahe hi samajh gayi... jamana bahut kharaab hai Priya.. aaj kal ye ladke rooms par gandi ladkiyon ko late hain.." Riya ne toh Priya ki saans hi rok di..
"par wo toh bahut jyada sunder thi?" Priya ne bholepan se kaha...
"arey main characterwise 'gandi' bol rahi hoon.. shakal soorat se kya hota hai..? aaj kal achchhe gharon ki ladkiyan bhi upar ke kharche ke liye 'galat kaam' karti hain.. tumne kabhi suna nahi kya?" Riya apne man mein jane kya kya khayali pulaav paka rahi thi...
Priya ne sahmati mein sir hilaya," haan... suna toh hai!... par Raj aisa nahi ho sakta.. nahi.. main nahi maanti...Mera Raj aisa nahi ho sakta!" Priya ne khud ko dilasa dene ki koshish ki... par uska dil baith gaya tha..
"tum kya kahna chahti ho? Virender hai aisa.. wo toh bilkul nahi ho sakta.. wo toh ladkiyon ki taraf dekhta bhi nahi.." Riya ne apne wale ka paksh liya.. baaton hi baaton mein wo bhool chuki thi ki unki baat sirf shak aur kalpana par shuru huyi thi...
" toh Raj bhi aisa nahi ho sakta.. uski guarantee main leti hoon..." Priya ne taal thonki..
"kyun nahi ho sakta.. wo itna shareef bhi nahi hai.. jitna tujhe lagta hai.. tujhe ek baat bataoon.. kal rat usne mujhe chutki kati thi.. yahan par.. maine tujhe aise hi nahi bataya..." Riya ne apne pichhwade par hath lagakar bataya...
Priya ye bhool gayi ki kal rat usne khud ko Raj ke saane Riya bataya tha..," Nahi.. tu jhooth bol rahi hai.. ho hi nahi sakta.. jhooth bol rahi hai na.. sach sach bata pls!"
Riya ne Priya ke sir par hath rakh diya," Sachchi.. tumhari kasam.. kati thi..!"
"yahin par?" Priya ne apne nitambon ko chhoo kar kaha..
"haan!"
"toh tune usko thappad kyun nahi mara.. main usko chhodungi nahi.." Priya jalan ke mare ubal padi....
"mummy bahar khadi thi.. main bathroom mein kapde lene gayi.. tab ki baat hai.. bol! main kya bolti..?" Riya ne toh priya ko rula hi diya... Priya bed par ulti late gayi.. aur subak'ne lagi.. 4 din pahle ka pyar jaane kitne mod le chuka tha.. kachchi umar ka pyar aisa hi hota hai!

"chal aa khidki mein se dekhte hain.. wo abhi bhi yahan hai ki nahi?" Riya ne Priya ko uthate huye kaha...
"Mujhe nahi dekhna kisi ko.. ab kya dekhna rah gaya hai.. main usko kitna achchha samajhti thi..." Priya ne riya ka hath jhatakte huye kaha...
"main toh dekh kar aaungi.. tujhe nahi chalna toh mat chal..!" Riya ne kaha aur zeene mein jakar khadi ho gayi.. par saamne wali khidki band thi.. Riya wapas loutne wali thi ki tabhi Priya bhi peechhe peechhe aa gayi..
"khidki band hai.." Riya ne priya ki aur mudte huye dheere se kaha..

"Ruk ja.. main khulwati hoon khidki.." gusse main jali bhuni aayi Priya upar se ek mota sa patthar ka tukda lekar aayi aur usko dhumm se khidki par de mara...

andar baithe teeno iss aawaj ko sunkar chowk gaye.. Sneha khilkhilate huye boli," lo Raj! tumhara fir se bulawa aa gaya.. aaj nahi jawoge kya..?" Raj ne chhedchhad ki baatein chhodkar sab kuchh unko bata diya tha..
"Dekho plz.. ab toh mera majak mat banao.. tumko bata diya sab kuchh toh iska matlab ye toh nahi..." Raj unke majak sun sun kar pak chuka tha... Viru ki aankh lag gayi thi...
"sorry.. par main dekh toh loon.. kaisi hai tumhari girlfriend.." kahte huye sneha bister se uthi aur khidki ke saamne jakar khidki khol di...
Sneha ki dono ladkiyon se najar mili.. ek bina koyi bhav apni aankhon mein liye khadi thi.. aur dusri fufkaar rahi thi.. jaise hi Priya ne Sneha ko dekha.. usne khidki mein se gali ki aur thooka aur upar bhag gayi.. Riya bhi uske pichhe pichhe nikal li..
"tum bilkul sahi kah rahe thhe Raj.. dono hubahu ek jaisi hain.. tumhari girlfriend kounsi hai.. Garam wali.. ki naram wali!" Sneha ne khidki band karte huye Raj se kaha...
"koyi nahi hai.. meri chhodo.. tum apni baat poori batao... gadi badal'ne ke baad kya huaa?" Raj bade gour se Sneha ki kahani sun raha tha..... "thhand rakh yaar.. ye sirf hamara waham bhi toh ho sakta hai.. kal poochh lenge uss'se..!" Riya ne subakti huyi Priya ko dilasa dete huye kaha," main poochh loongi kal.. waise bhi agar wo koyi aisi waisi ladki hoti toh saamne thhode aati..."
"main ek baar chali jaaun?" Priya uth kar baith gayi...
"kahan?"
Priya ne apne aapko shant karne ki koshish karte huye kaha," Raj ke paas... unke kamre par.."
"whhaaat.. tujhe pata hai tu kya kah rahi hai?" Riya bister se uchhal padi...
" haan pata hai... wo isi baat ki dhons jama raha hai na ki wo mujhse pyar karta hai... isiliye jaan jokhim mein daal kar raat ko hamre ghar aa gaya... main kya uss'se pyar nahi karti.. main kya ja nahi uske paas.. hisab barabar ho jayega.. uske baad bhi agar usne mujhe maaf nahi kiya toh main bhi kabhi uss'se baat nahi karoongi... main jaaun na?" Priya ne Riya ka hath apne hathon mein lete huye poochha...
Riya se kuchh der toh kuchh bolte hi na bana.. wah aankhein faade Priya ko dekhti rahi.. fir achanak sambhal kar boli," tu pagal hai kya? thhodi bahut bhi akal nahi bachi kya ab.. Raat ko darwaje se bahar pair rakhne ka matlab pata hai na tujhe... kaat ke rakh denge papa.. tujhe bhi.. aur Raj ko bhi.. aisi pagal baatein mat kar.. aur aa chal kar sote hain.. mummy bhi aane wali hi hogi.. chal aaja.." Riya ne priya ka hath pakad kar usko uthaya aur apne sath bahar kheench liya.. Darwaje ko tala lagaya aur usko hath pakde pakde hi neeche le gayi....
" aa gayi tum.. main bus upar aane hi wali thi.. jyada shor mat karna.. tumhare papa kal raat se soye nahi hain.. uthh gaye toh gussa karenge...! jaldi se apna doodh khatam karo aur so jao!" mummy ne kaha aur apne bedroom mein chali gayi... unke papa ke paas!
"dekh riya.. aaj papa bhi gahri neend mein honge.. pls jaane de na! ... main bus 5 minute main aa jaaungi..." Priya ne uske kaan mein dheere se kaha...
"tu hai na.. apne sath sath mujhe bhi marwayegi.. Dekh Priya.. mere saamne aisi baat mat kar.. mujhe darr lag raha hai... so ja chupchap!" kahkar Riya ne apna doodh khatam kiya.. aur bistar par late gayi... Priya bhi kya karti.. bechari.. pyar ka bhoot uske sir par buri tarah sawaar ho chuka tha.. wah late toh gayi.. par neend uski aankhon se koson door thi.. uski aankhon mein toh ab Raj bas chuka tha..

Kareeb ek ghanta beet gaya.. ghar ki sab lights band thi.. Priya ne apna sir uthakar Riya ko dekha.. wah dusri aur munh kiye so rahi thi.. neend mein uska night skirt uski jaanghon se kahin jyada upar utha hua tha.. panty uske nitambon se buri tarah chipki huyi thi.. ,"nalayak!" kahte huye Priya ne uska skirt neeche kheench diya.. Priya ko Raj ke dwara Riya ke nitambon par gadi gayi chutki yaad aa gayi... wah bechain ho uthi.. khadi hokar bathroom mein gayi aur fir bina kuchh kiye hi wapas aa gayi.. Mummy papa ke bedroom ka darwaja aaram se khol kar dekha.. wo andar se band tha..
Priya wapas lout aayi.. wah gahri asamanjhas mein thi.. samajh nahi aa raha tha ki kare toh kya kare... antat: uske jajbaat uske bhay par hawi ho gaye.. chupke se main gate ki chabi uthayi aur dabe paanv bahar nikal gayi...
aangan mein jane ke baad usne aangan ki lights off kar di.. dheere se tala khola aur tala darwaje mein hi tange rahne diya.. uske hath pair buri tarah kaanp rahe the.. ek pal ko wapas mudi.. Raj aur fir Bhagwan ko yaad kiya.. aur sare samaj aur ghar walon ke darr ko darkinar kar dehri laangh gayi.. ijjat ki dehri.. Priya ne ghar se bahar kadam rakha hi tha ki uski mummy jamhayi lete huye apne bedroom se bahar nikli... bathroom mein jakar aayi aur fir Priya aur Riya ke bedroom mein chali gayi.. Dekha Bed par akeli Riya hi so rahi hai..

[liljohn]

"Riya... A Riya.." mummy ne Riya ko pakadkar hilya.. Riya gahri neend mein thi...," ummmmmmmmm.. kya hai?" wah kasmasayi aur karwat badalkar fir se chitt ho gayi...
"Riyaaaaa!" Mummy ne usko jor se jhakjhora...
" kya hai mummy.. sone do na!" Riya ne neend mein hi kaha...
"Priya kahan hai?" uski mummy chintit si ho gayi thi..
"hogi.. bathroom mein.. mujhe kya pata..?" aur achanak hi Riya chowk kar uthh baithi.. usko sone se pahle ki Priya ki baat yaad aa gayi... kahin..?," bathroom mein hogi mummy.. aap so jao jakar.." Riya kaanp si uthhi.. ab kya hoga.. agar... usne man hi man socha..
"Bathroom ki toh kundi band hai bahar se.. kahan gayi karamjali.. mujhe tumhare lakshan achchhe nahi lag rahe kuchh dino se.. tum fone vone toh nahi rakhti ho na..?"
Riya ne mummy ki baaton par dhyan hi nahi diya..," mummy.. wo upar chali gayi hogi padhne.. uska kafi kaam baki tha.. main dekhkar aati hoon.." kahkar Riya upar bhag gayi.. Mummy ne usko rokne ki koshish bhi ki.. par tab tak toh wo seedhiyon par ja chuki thi...
" inko bhi padhne ka time hi nahi pata.. jab dekho kitab kholkar baith jati hain... ab dekho na.. ye bhi koyi padhne ka time hai bhala...?" angdayi lekar bahar nikle apne pati ko dekhkar wo boli.... vijender ki neend poori ho gayi thi.. sham 6 baje se hi soya hua tha wo...
"arey bhai.. aajkal competition ka jamana hai.. time dekhkar padhengi toh pichhe nahi rah jaayengi bhala....." Vijender ne kaha aur apni biwi ke paas aakar bed par baith gaya," par inko kah do.. raat ko upar padhne ki koyi jarurat nahi hai... agar padhna hai toh yahin padhein.. neeche...!"
" maine toh jane kitni baar kaha hai ji.. par maane tab na! kahti hain.. T.V. ki aawaj mein disturb hoti hain.." Mummy ne safai di...
" tum kabhi pichhe jakar dekhti bhi ho kya? padhti bhi hain ya... chalo upar chalte hain..." Vijender yahi samajh raha tha ki dono abhi tak upar padh rahi hain.. usko ye ahsaas bhi nahi tha ki Priya sone ke baad gayab huyi hai.. aur ab Riya usko dekhne gayi hai...
" mere toh ghutno mein dard hai ji.. mujhse nahi chadha jata baar baar upar...." mummy ne kaha hi tha ki Riya neeche aa gayi.. aur papa ko wahin baitha pakar saham gayi..," ww wo.. upar hi ... hai.. mummy.. apna kaam kar rahi hai.. abhi aa jayegi.. 10 -15 minute mein..." Riya ne haklate huye kaha.....
Vijender ke policiya dimag mein Riya ki baaton mein gadbad ki boo aayi..kuchh sochte huye.. wo khada huaa aur bola," aaindaa se tum dono neeche hi padha karo.. T.V. nahi chalega... aur kahkar wapas apne kamre mein chala gaya," kuchh khane ko hai kya? bhookh lagi hai!"
" hai ji.. abhi lati hoon.. aap baitho.." kahkar uski mummy kitchen mein chali gayi...
"Riya bistar par baithi baithi kaanp rahi thi.. aur dua kar rahi thi ki Priya jaldi aa jaye.. aur uske mummy papa ko pata na chale...
"arey.. aaj maine darwaja khula hi chhod diya..! kitchen se aangan ka bulb jalate hi uski najar darwaje par tange taale par padi... wah bahar gayi aur darwaja lock karke wapas aa gayi.. Riya ka dil jor jor se dhadakne laga...
uski mummy ne andar aakar chabi slab par rakh di thi.. Riya ne himmat karke chabi uthayi aur mummy ke bedroom mein jate hi tala fir khol aayi.. bhag kar...
---------------------------------------
Udhar Raj aur viru so gaye the.. Sneha apne mohan ke khaylon mein khoyi huyi thi aur jaldi se subah hone ka intjaar kar rahi thi.. Darwaje par huyi dastak se wah chounk gayi.. bistar se uthi aur Raj ko uthane ki sochi...," iss waqt yahan mohan ke alawa aur koun aa sakta hai.." ye sochkar wah khil uthi aur ekdum se jakar darwaja khol diya....
Saamne apne sir aur chehre ko chunni se dhake Priya khadi thi.. darwaja khulte hi wah bhag kar andar aa gayi aur chunni utar di... Sneha ne pahchan liya..," Priya?"
Priya ne sahmati mein sir hilaya aur kamre mein najrein doudayi.. Raj jameen par bistar bichhaye chain se soya pada tha..
"tum koun ho?" Priya sochkar aayi thi ki jaate hi uss ladki toh khabar leni hi hai.. par yahan toh darr ke mare uski aawaj hi mushkil se nikal pa rahi thi...
"main inki behan hoon.." sneha ne muskurate huye kaha...
"kiski..?" Priya ne kaanpti huyi aawaj mein poochha..
"dono ki.. kya tum yahi poochhne ke liye aayi ho.. itna dari huyi kyun ho.. aao baithho..." Sneha ne pyar se apni hone wali bhabhi ke chehre ko uski thodi par hath lagakar upar uthaya...
" par ye toh sagey bhai nahi hain na.. fir tum dono ki behan kaise huyi..?" Priya ne bholepan se poochha...
"kya khoon ka rishta hi rishta hota hai... sagi toh main inmein se kisi ki bhi nahi hoon.. par dono mere liye apno se kahin badhkar hain... tum baitho na.. main Raj bhaiya ko jagati hoon..!" Sneha ne uska hath pakad kar apni aur kheencha...
Priya ke dil ko badi tasalli mili.. ye sab sunkar.. usne toh yunhi jaan aafat mein daal li thi..," nahi.. ab main ja rahi hoon.. ghar wale jaag gaye toh..."
"pls.. sirf ek minute.." aur Sneha jakar Raj ko jagane lagi... ," Raj.. Raj! dekho na koun aaya hai..? Raj hadbada kar uthh baitha aur jaise hi usne Priya ko apne kamre mein khade dekha wah uchhal pada.. ek baar ko toh usko apni aankhon par visvas hi nahi hua," Tummm????? yahan kyun aayi ho.. matlab.. kaise aa gayi? Darr nahi laga..." Raj ne khade hote huye apne kapdon ko theek kiya...
Priya apne hath bandhe.. sir jhukaye.. khadi thi.. wah abhi bhi kaanp hi rahi thi.. jane ghar se nikalte huye usmein kahan se itni himmat aa gayi thi..
"bechari pahle hi dari huyi hai.. tum aur dara do isko.. tumhare liye itni himmat karke aayi hai.. ab toh pyar se baat kar lo..." Sneha ne tunakte huye kaha...
sahmi huyi si Priya Raj ko itni pyari lag rahi thi ki uska dil chah raha tha.. abhi ke abhi usko bahon mein bharkar uska har ang choom daale.. uske rom rom ko mahsoos kar le.. par ye sab karna sochne se kahin jyada mushkil tha...," poochh hi toh raha hoon.. ghar wale jaag gaye toh kya hoga?"
" main bus sorry bolne aayi thi...!" Priya ne najrein uthakar Rat bhar ke liye apne man mein Raj ka pyara chehra kaid kar liya...
"oho.. kitni baar sorry bologi.. bol toh di thi.. college mein..!" Raj uske saamne aakar khada ho gaya...
Priya ko laga Raj ki najrein uske shareer mein gad rahi hain.. uska badan akadne sa laga tha.. darr ke bawjood," par tumne maaf kahan kiya tha!" usne Raj ki najron se najrein milayi.. dil kiya ki kal raat ki adhuri hasrat abhi poori kar le.. lipat jaye Raj se.. aur apne badan ko dheela chhodkar usmein sama jane de.. par himmat dono mein se kisi mein nahi thi.. Sneha jo paas khadi thi..
"pagal.. maaf kya karna tha.. main naraj nahi tha.. main toh yunhi bus..." Raj ke hath Priya ke chehre ki aur badhe.. par beech mein hi ruk gaye... achanak darwaja khula aur Riya badhawaas si kamre mein ghus aayi.. wah itni hadbadahat mein thi ki unke upar girte girte bachi... uske pairon mein khade rahne ki himmat bachi hi nahi thi.. wah andar aate hi bed par baith gayi...," Sab kuchh khatam ho gaya Priya.. sab kuchh khatam ho gaya... samajh lo maare gaye... oh my God!"
Priya uski baat ka matlab samajh kar dhadam se jameen par aa giri.. Raj ne usko sambhala aur riya se bola," kya huaa Riya?"
Sneha ko toh bolne ka bhi awsar nahi mila....
"sab kuchh khatam ho gaya Raj.. Maine isko mana kiya tha.. par fir bhi ye aa gayi.. itna sa bhi nahi socha isne... papa jaan se maar daalenge... chhodenge nahi..." Riya ne haanfte huye kaha...
Priya ne toh jor jor se rona shuru kar hi diya tha.. agar Raj uske munh par hath rakhkar.. usko chup rahne ke liye na kahta toh," Saaf saaf batao na Riya.. baat kya hai...?"
kamre mein itni fusfusahat sunkar Virender ki neend khul gayi.. aankhein kholkar upar dekhte huye jaise hi usne Priya aur riya ko wahan dekha.. wah bhi chouk pada..," ye kya tamasha laga rakha hai? kya museebat aa gayi aakhir.. Raat ko toh chain se so jaya karo.. ye koyi ishq farmaane ka time hai.."
"chup ho jao viru bhaiya.. bahar koyi sun lega.." Sneha jakar viru ke paas baith gayi...
"kya aafat aa gayi.. batao toh sahi..?" viru ne iss baar dheere se kaha...
Priya ne jaise taise karke apne aapko sambhal aur uthkar Riya ke paas jakar khadi ho gayi,"papa jaag gaye kya..?"
"haan! papa bhi jaag gaye aur mummy bhi.. mummy ne mujhe uthaya tha.. ye poochhne ke liye ki tum kahan ho.. maine upar aakar dekha aur wapas jakar jhooth bol diya.. ki tum upar padh rahi ho.. fir mummy papa ke liye khana banane lagi.. maine tumhara kitna intjaar kiya.. mummy ne wapas tala laga diya tha.. wo bhi khola.. par tum nahi aayi priya.." kahte huye Riya rone lagi...
" fir unko pata lag gaya kya?" Priya ka dil baith gaya...
" khana kha kar papa aur mummy tumhe bulane upar chale gaye.. ab tak toh unko pata lag hi gaya hoga..." Riya ne rote rote hi bataya...
"par tu kyun yahan aayi pagal.. ab tu bhi fansegi.." Priya ke chehre par mayusi aur darr ne dera daal rakha tha...
teeno unke beech ho rahi baat ko dhyan se sun rahe the....
" toh main ab aur kya karti.. tujhe pata nahi chalta toh tu wapas chali jati.. aur fir tera kya hota.. pata hai na...
Virender kafi der se chupchap baatein sun raha tha.. jo kuchh huaa.. uss par wah bhi dukhi tha.. par ab kiya hi kya ja sakta hai...,"wapas toh ab bhi jana hi padega..!"
" nahi.. main ghar wapas nahi jaaungi..!" Priya ne najrein uthakar Raj ke chehre ki aur dekha...
Raj ki toh kuchh samajh mein aa hi nahi raha tha.. "ab kya kiya jaye..?"
"ek idea hai...!" Sneha ne kaha....
"kya.. jaldi batao na.." Raj turant bola...
"yahan se sabhi bhag chalte hain.... abhi ke abhi..." Sneha ko toh jaise bhagna hi sabse achchha lagta tha.. swachhand aakash ke neeche khuli hawa main.. jahan koyi bandhan na ho.. usko ahsaas nahi tha shayad ki hamare samaj mein ladki ke 'bhagne' ka kya matlab hota hai... kahkar usne charon ke chehre ki aur dekha.. Priya aur Riya ki taraf se koyi reaction nahi aaya.. Raj bhi munh banaye khada raha.. Par virender se na ruka gaya," kyun nahi.. bus isi baat ki kami rah gayi hai.. Bhag chalo...!" usne munh pichkaya...
"arey main koyi hamesha ke liye bhagne ko thode hi kah rahi hoon.. inke mummy papa ka gussa shant nahi hota.. tab tak.. baad mein fone karke maafi maang lenge... kyun Raj?"
"waise hum sadharan logon ke liye ye sab itna aasan nahi hota Sneha.. jitni aasani se tumne kah diya.. bhagne ka matlab apne ghar pariwar aur sare samaj se kat jana hota hai.. hamesha ke liye... wapas aana mumkin nahi.. aur kuchh socho..." Raj ne kaha..
"aur kuchh toh tumhi socho fir.." sneha bhi munh banakar Riya aur Priya ki line main baith gayi...

[liljohn]

"jo kuchh sochna hai.. ye dono soch lengi.. isko hi fitur sawaar hua tha na.. Rat mein ghar se nikalne ka.. tum kyun pareshan ho rahe ho..?" Viru ne latey latey hi kaha...
Viru ke munh se aisi baat sunkar Riya ko rona aa gaya..," Theek hai priya.. chal kahin aur chalein.. ab hamein hi bhugatna padega.. galati bhi toh humne hi ki hai.. "

"ruko! main bhi sath chaloonga..." Raj ne Riya ka hath pakad liya....
" main Riya hoon.. Priya nahi.." Riya ne subakte huye maasumiyat se kaha..
"pata hai mujhe..!" Raj ne kaha...
Sneha ne vichlit hokar Viru ki aur dekha... wah bhi kahne hi wali thi.. "main bhi chaloongi.." par viru ko aise chhodkar kaise jati..?
"Raj.. idhar aakar khada hone mein madad kar jara.." Viru ne hath ka sahara lekar baithte huye kaha...
Raj uske paas gaya aur usko sahara dekar khada kar diya.. viru ne chot wali jaangh par ek do baar...wajan bana kar dekha," chalo.. 'bhaag' kar dekhte hain..."
Murjhaye huye sabhi ke chehre Viru ke iss andaaj par khilkhiaye bina na rah sake.. khas tour se Riya ka chehra.. wah toh Viru par fida hi ho gayi thi...
"tumhe chot lagi hai kya? isiliye college mein nahi aaye kya tum aaj.." Riya ne viru ko pahli baar toka...
Viru ne uski baat ka koyi jawaab nahi diya," Soch lo.. hum char log hain.. bahar ka kharcha bahut hoga....
" uski chinta mat karo.. main hoon na.." Sneha chahak uthi thi," aur fir mohan aakar fone karega hi.. usko bhi wahin bula lenge.... kya kahte ho..?"
"fir theek hai.. par nikalenge kaise?" Viru ne bahar nikalne ki taiyari shuru kar di...
khamosh khadi Riya ne sab logon ko gina.. wo toh 5 hain.. fir viru 4 ki baat kyun kar raha hai.. hichkichate huye boli," main bhi hoon!"
" tum kya karogi? tum toh wapas ja sakti ho na..." Raj ne kaha...
" main kaise ja sakti hoon ab.. wapas aakar ghar walon ne mujhe bhi toh dhoondha hoga... waise bhi Priya ke bina main nahi rah sakti.. wo jab wapas aayegi.. main bhi aa jaaungi...!" Riya ne viru ki aur dekhte huye kaha.. usko vishvas tha ki viru pakka taang adaayega...
" fir toh mummy papa ko bhi bula lo na... unhone kya jurm kar diya aisa.. wo bhi tum dono ke bagair kaise rahenge.. aakhir!" Viru ne tedhi najar se Riya par vyangya kiya.. Riya Raj ke pichhe chhip gayi..
"le chal yaar.. jab ukhal mein sir de hi liya hai toh moosal se kya darna...!" Raj ne Viru se request si ki.....
"arey main toh tere bhale ke liye hi kah raha hoon.. tu confuse rahega.. kounsi riya hai aur koun priya? tujhe problem nahi hai toh mujhe kya.. mujhe kounsa isko peeth par baithakar le jana hai.." Viru ki baat par sabhi munh par hath rakh kar hansne lage...
"teri peeth par toh chadhkar rahungi beta!" Riya man hi man sochkar khil uthi...
---------------------------------
fir wahi baat, honi taali hi nahi ja sakti.. warna bhagwan ne toh riya ki karun fariyaad sun hi li thi.. jeene main chadhte huye.. vijender ka pair fisal gaya aur wo slip karta hua 3 steps neeche aakar ruka.. uska ghutna jakhmi ho gaya tha...
pichhe pichhe upar chadh rahi unki mummi ne pahle apne aapko bachaya aur fir baithkar vijender ko," aap theek toh hai na..?"
"aah.. mujhe neeche le chalo.. mar gaya ri maa..!" Vijender apna ghutna pakad kar seedhiyon par hi baith gaya tha...
Uski biwi usko sahara dekar neeche le gayi aur wapas le jakar bed par lita diya aur Riya ko aawaj lagayi," Riyaaaa.. jaldi aa.."
Riya wahan thi kahan jo aati..
" usko kyun pareshan kar rahi ho.. sone do bechari ko.. bewajah pareshan hogi.. kuchh khas chot nahi hai.. ek do din mein theek ho jayegi.. tum bus yahan par thodi malish kar do.. bahut dukh raha hai.." vijender ne pichhwade ko hath lagate huye ishara kiya...
"Priya ko toh bula laaoon.. pahle..?"
"Rahne do.. wo wahin so gayi hogi kya pata.. subah apne aap aa jayegi..." vijender ka poora dhyan ab apni chot par tha...
"theek hai.." usne kaha aur 'move' uthakar layi aur darwaja band karke vijender ki pant nikal kar malish karne lagi...
"bus bahut ho gaya.. so jao ab..!" Vijender ne kaha..
" theek hai ji.. kuchh dikkat ho toh utha lena.." kahkar uski biwi ne light band kari aur sath latekar so gayi.................. wo sab ek ek karke bahar nikalne ki taiyari kar hi rahe the ki achanak kisi ne unka darwaja khatkhataya.. ladkiyon samet sabhi saham gaye..," ab kya karein?" isharon hi isharon mein sab ne ek doosre se poochha...
Dobara fir dastak huyi.. iss baar kuchh jyada hi jordaar.. dar kar Priya aur Riya ek dusri se chipak gayi..
"tum sab bathroom mein ghus jao.. main dekhta hoon..!" Raj ne teeno ko bathroom mein band kar diya aur neend mein hone ka natak karta hua darwaje ke paas gaya," koooouuunn hai bhai?"
"darwaja kholo!" bahar se aayi aawaj ekdum kadak thi..
"par batao toh tum ho koun?" Raj aawaj sunkar hi darr gaya tha...
" main vicky.. sorry.. Mohan ka dost hoon.. darwaja kholo jaldi.." Bahar se aawaj aayi..
mohan ka naam sunkar Raj ko thodi rahat pahunchi.. par Darwaja kholte huye Darr ab bhi uske dil mein kayam tha.. kundi kholkar usne darwaja hulka sa khol diya.. baki kaam tough ne khud hi kar diya.. bina der kiye tough kamre ke andar tha..
"Sneha tumhare paas hai na!" Tough ne seedhe seedhe sawaal kiya...
Tough ke deel doul aur upar se uski rough aawaj ne Raj ko jhoothh bolne par
vivash kar hi diya..," kkkoun Sneha..? hum kisi Sneha ko nahi jaante... kkkoun hai... aap?"
" Dekho bhai.. darne ki koyi jarurat nahi hai.. main Mohan ka dost hoon.. Ajeet! usne hi mujhe Sneha ko yahan se le jane ko bola hai.. bata do.. kahan hai wo..?" Tough ne apna lehja nihayat hi naram kar liya.. fir bhi Raj ko tasalli na huyi.. viru chupchap bed par baitha sab kuchh dekh sun raha tha...
" wwo.. Mohan ka fone aaya tha.. wo toh chali gayi.. Mohan ne hii bula liya usko.." Raj ne fir jhooth bola...
" Dekho.. mujhe poora yakeen hai ki tum jhooth bol rahe ho.. par agar ye sach hai toh Sneha ki jaan khatre mein hai.. ye jaan lo! agar tum uss ladki ki jaan bachana chahte ho toh pls bata do.. wo hai kahan..?" Tough ne kamre mein chhanbeen shuru karne se pahle uss'se aakhiri baar poochha...
Raj ki najarein jhuk gayi.. Sneha ki jaan khatre mein hone ki baat kahkar tough ne usko asamanjhas mein daal diya tha... usko samajh nahi aa raha tha.. ki wo kya kare!
Viru aakhirkar bol hi pada," Raj! Sneha ko nikal lao bathroom se.." kahte huye usne apne pair se bed ke neeche rakhi baseball ki stick ko aage sarka liya.. kisi anhoni ka muqabala karne ke liye...
Darwaja kholo Sneha.. Mohan ka dost hai koyi.. bahar aa jao!" Raj ne bathroom ka darwaja thapthapaya...
Sneha darwaja kholkar bahar nikal aayi.. Riya aur Priya abhi bhi bathroom mein hi chhipi huyi thi..
"tumhi ho Sneha..?" tough ne Sneha se sawaal kiya..
Sneha ne apni najrein uthakar jawab diya," Ji.. aap Mohan ke dost hain..?"
"haan.. aur main tumhe lene aaya hoon.. abhi tumhe mere sath chalna hoga!"
" par main kaise maan loon.. aap unke dost hain.. unse baat kara dijiye meri.." Sneha ne kaha..
" Dekho jid karne ka waqt nahi hai.. main tumhari baat kara deta.. par uska fone filhaal off hai.. ye dekho.. ye usi ka no. hai na.. dekho kitni baar baat huyi hain uss'se aaj meri.. abhi kuchh ghante pahle tak wo mere hi sath tha... wo aa nahi sakta tha.. isiliye mujhe bhej diya.. ab jaldi chalo.. warna anarth ho jayega..." Tough ne usko apni call detail dikhayi..
" par ismein toh aapne no. vicky naam se save kiya hua hai.." Sneha ne aashankit najron se tough ki aur dekha
"haan.. wo main usko vicky hi bolta hoon.. pyar se..." tough ko bhi tedhi ungali istemaal karni padi...
Sneha ke paas vishvas karne ke alawa koyi aur chara bacha hi nahi tha... Mohan ne ek baar usko bola bhi tha.. ki loharu chhodne ke baad wo usko lene ke liye kisi dost ko bhi bhej sakta hai..
" hum kahan jayenge..abhi..!" Sneha ne aakhiri sawaal kiya...
"kahan jana chahti ho..?"
"Loharu! wahan Mohan ke dost shamsher ki sasural hai.." Sneha ne kaha..
tough ne rahat ki saans li..," Shamsher se baat karwaaun kya abhi?"
" nahi rahne do.. waise bhi main unhe nahi jaan'ti.. par..." kahkar Sneha ne Viru ki aur dekha...
" par kya? .... bolo?" Tough ne kaha..
" mere sath meri 2 saheliyan bhi jayengi.." Sneha ne jhijhakte huye kaha...
" kahan hain tumhari saheliyan? le chalo.. mujhe kya problem hai bhala? Tough ne kamre mein najar doudakar bathroom ke darwaje par najar tika di..
" ek minute.." Sneha ne kaha aur bathroom se dono ko bahar nikal layi.. dono line mein khadi thi.. Priya Riya ke pichhe chipki khadi thi...
"wah bhai wah.. ye toh ek dusri ki photocopy hain.. chalo.. jaldi chalo..!" Tough ne dono ko gour se dekhte huye kaha...
" aap dono rahne do bhaiya... khamkhwah pados walon ko shak hoga.. ab hum chale toh jayenge hi.." Sneha ne Viru aur Raj ki aur dekhte huye kaha..
Raj ka sath chalne ka bahut mann tha.. uske toh sare armaan hi dhare ke dhare rah gaye.. usne Viru ki aur dekha...
"Nahi Sneha! hum bhi sath hi chalenge..!" Viru ne stick uthayi aur uske sahare khada ho gaya.. Sneha ko kisi bhi jokhim mein wo akela nahi chhodna chah raha tha....
Raj ke toh bin bole hi vare nyare ho gaye...
" bhai.. jisko bhi chalna hai.. jaldi se neeche chalkar gadi mein baitho.. hamare paas time nahi hai itna.." Tough ne jhallate huye kaha...
Uske baad kisi ne der nahi lagayi.. wahan se nikalne ki jaldi toh unhe bhi thi.. kismat se ab unko raaston par bhatakna nahi padega.. sabhi jakar Gadi mein baith gaye..
Tough ne road par nikalte hi Shamsher ke paas fone kiya..," haan bhai.. le aaya hoon.. sneha ko.. Shukra hai.. abhi tak pahuncha nahi tha wo..!"
"koun hai.. Mohan hai kya?" Sneha ne aage gardan nikalte huye kaha..
" Nahi shamsher hai.. lo bhai.. ek baar baat karna..."
" namastey Sir!" Sneha ne jhijhakte huye kaha.. Vicky ne Sneha ko bata rakha tha ki Shamsher teacher hai..
" Namastey beta..! kisi baat ki fikar mat karna.. theek hai na..." Shamsher ne pyar se kaha...
" Ji.. ab sab theek hai.. main toh darr gayi thi.." Sneha ne bhi utni hi vinamrata se jawab diya..
" O.K. mera no. bhi le lena.. koyi dikkat ho toh fone kar dena.. waise tough bhi hamara bhai hi hai.. usko fone dena jara.." Shamsher ne kaha...
" ye lo Sir!" Sneha ki aankhein chamak uthi.. ab usko koyi fikar nahi thi.. wo sahi aadmi ke sath the...
" vicky kahan hai ab?" Shamsher ne tough se poochha..

[liljohn]

" pata nahi bhai.. uska toh fone off aa raha hai..mere paas se toh nikal gaya tha.. 7 8 baje ke aaspaas..." Tough ne jawab diya..
" pata nahi yaar.. wo kaise line par aayega.. chal achchha.. rakhta hoon..!" kahkar shamsher ne fone kaat diya.... Tough unn sabko lekar Loharu pahuncha toh subah ke teen baj chuke the.. sabhi neend mein ludhak chuke the..
Tough ne anjali ke ghar ke saamne roki aur unko sota hua chhodkar angan se hota hua darwaje tak ja pahuncha aur jate hi bell bajai..
Anjali unka hi wait kar rahi thi.. usne turant darwaja khola," Aa gayi...?"
"Aa gayi nahi bhabhiji.. Aa gaye! Gadi mein poore 5 hain..!"
"matlab?.. Tum... wo kya naam hai... Sneha ko lene gaye the na?" Anjali ne Gadi ki aur dekhte huye kaha..
"haan.. lene toh Sneha ko hi gaya tha.. par kya karta? wo apne sath do aur ko le aayi aur unn do ke sath do aur aa gaye?" Tough ne tapak se uttar diya," Sneha ko har haal mein lana jaruri tha.. kya karta?"
"par yahan.. itne sare adjust kaise honge?... mera matlab sirf living room hi khali hai!" Anjali ne kuchh sochte huye kaha...
"Mujhe nahi pata Bhabhi ji.. Shamsher ne mujhse kaha tha ki main Sneha ko aapke paas chhod doon.. mera kaam khatam.. ab aap unse hi baat karein!" Tough ne rukha sa uttar diya...
"arey maine aisa bola hai kya?.. tum toh iss tarah se kah rahe ho jaise main khush nahi hoon.. inko apne paas rakhkar.. mera matlab tha ki....." Anjali ne safai dene ki koshish ki toh tough beech mein hi bol pada..," aap ek baar bhai sahab se baat kyun nahi kar leti...? wo hi kuchh raasta nikalenge ab..."
"chalo theek hai.. main unse baat kar leti hoon.. aap unko andar toh le aayiye..."
"nahi.. pahle aap baat kar lo.. main bachchon ki wajah se khulkar baat hi nahi kar paya.. raaste mein.." kahkar Tough ne fone milakar Anjali ko de diya...
"utha hi nahi rahe!" Anjali ne kaha..
"ek baar fir se try karo na.. so rahe honge..!" Tough ne kaha...
iss baar shamsher ne fone utha liya," haan tough.. pahunch gaye kya?"
"haan.. Pahunch gaye!" Jawaab Anjali ne diya..
"koun.. anjali?" Shamsher ne poochha..
"shukra hai.. aawaj nahi bhoole!.. aa.. tum toh kah rahe the.. yahan koyi Sneha Aane wali hai...?" Anjali ne ek taraf hote huye kaha.. Shamsher ki aawaj bhar se uske armaan khil se gaye..
"toh.. Sneha nahi aayi kya?" Shamsher ne choukte huye kaha...
"aayi hai.. aayi hai.. par uske sath char aur hain...!" Anjali ne jawab diya..
"char aur??? wo koun?" Shamsher ka matha thanaka...
" lo.. Ajeet se hi poochh lo..!" kahkar Anjali ne wapas aakar fone tough ko pakda diya..
"haan.. bhai..!"
" ye tu aur kisko utha laya bhai?" Shamsher ne poochha..
" Mujhe nahi pata bhai.. maine toh Raaste bhar koyi poochh tachh bhi nahi ki.. kahin darr na jayein.. 2 ko toh apni saheliyan bata rahi hai.. aur do wo hain.. jinke paas vicky usko chhodkar gaya tha... tumne bola tha.. Sneha ko har haal mein lekar aana hai.. so main le aaya..." Tough apni jagah par sahi tha...
" chal.. koyi baat nahi.. tu ladko ko apne sath le jayega na..?" Shamsher ne kaha...
"haan.. mujhe toh koyi problem nahi hai.. par agar unko wapas jana hi hota toh wo wahin par na rah jaate..?" Tough ne kaha...
"fir tu aisa hi kar.. subah unko Rohtak wali bus mein baitha dena.. chale jayenge.. aur 'wo' ladkiyan?? wo koun hain..? unko bhi aajkal mein wapas bhej de yaar.. wo yahan koyi picnic manane thhode hi aaye hain.. baki tu dekh lena.." Shamsher ne kaha...
"theek hai bhai.. main dekh loonga.. aur kuchh..?" Tough ne kaha...
" wo recording suna dena Sneha ko.. vicky aur murari wali.. usko aise visvas na ho shayad.. Pyar ka maamla hai..." Shamsher ne kaha...
"wo main subah hi sunaaunga.. ab toh so lene do bechari ko.. sach mein yaar.. bahut masoom hai bechari..!"
" wo toh mujhe vicky ne hi bata diya tha.... main subah vicky se baat karke usko samjhane ki koshish karoonga.. chal theek hai.. subah mujhe bhi wapas chalna hai.. ab so leta hoon.." Shamsher ne kaha...
"OK bhai.. mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai.. Main toh Bhabhi ke paas jakar sounga.." Tough ne majak kiya...
"tujhe laat padegi.. tab akal aayegi.." Shamsher ne hanste huye kaha..
"main wo nahi kah raha bhai.. jo tu samajh raha hai.. mera matlab tha.. unke ghar jakar..." Tough jor jor se hansne laga...
"chal ab rakh de.. sala!" kahkar Shamsher ne fone kaat diya... "kya kah rahe hain", Tough ki baat khatam hote hi Anjali ne use toka.
" subah main baki logon ko wapas bhej doonga... par ab raat bhar ke liye toh kuchh na kuchh karna hi padega..." tough ne afsos jahir karte huye kaha..
" Theek hai.. main dekhti hoon.. tum lekar toh aao sabko!" Anjali ne jawaab diya...
Tough ne jakar Raj ko jagaya.. ek baar tokte hi wo unghata hua uth baitha," aa gaye kya?"
"haan.. Aa gaye.. sabko utha kar andar le aao!" kahkar tough wapas chala gaya...
Raj ki najar sabse pahle Priya par padi.. chand ki chandni mein wo uska hi pratiroop lag rahi thi.. gol gol chhota sa pyara chehra; kitni nischint hokar soyi huyi thi.. Raste bhar wo Raj ki side mein baithkar hi aayi thi.. Raj ka mann kayi baar usko chhoone ka hua tha.. par har baar uske dimag mein wo baat koundh jati..," main tumhe achchha ladka samajhti thi.. aur wo apna hath wapas kheench leta.. yunhi sochte sochte kab usko neend ne apne aagosh mein le liya, usko pata hi nahi chala tha. usko yakeen hi nahi ho raha tha ki Priya ab har pal uske sath hi rahne wali hai... usko wo itna tadpa dega ki wo khud uski baahon mein aane ke liye tadpegi.. aur fir wo usko ek baar jaroor kahega," main tumhe aisi ladki nahi samajhta tha..". Raj man hi man khil utha..
Raj ne bade pyar se uske gaalon par hath lagaya," Utho Priya!"
Priya par uske chhoone ka koyi asar dikhayi nahi diya..
"Priya.. utho.. gaanv aa gaya hai.. andar chalna hai..!" iss baar uski aawaj bhi kuchh tej thi aur sparsh bhi kuchh sakht.. par nateeja wahi.. Priya gahri neend mein thi..
Priya ke rasile hont barbas hi usko apni aur kheench rahe the... uske honton ko.. ek rasile chumban ke liye.. Raj ne badi mushkil se khud ko control kiya par wah apni hatheli ko na rok paya.. unn najuk gulabi honto ki chhap usspar lene se.. Raj ne iss tarah uska chehra apne hath mein liya ki honton ne hatheli ko choom liya.. uske liye ye ek avismarneeya anubhav tha.. honto se honton ko chhoo lene ki kalpana jaisa hi madak.. Priya neend mein hi uski aur ludhak gayi.. uska ek hath Raj ke kandhe par tha aur uska sir Raj ki chhati par tika hua tha.. Raj ki saanse tej ho gayi.. Priya ke komal par sudoul vaksh Raj ki baanh se sate huye thhe...
"Priya! uthho na.." Raj aur sahan karne ki sthiti mein nahi tha.. kisi bhi pal uska man sharaarat karne ko machal sakta tha..
" Ummmm.. abhi toh soyi thi.. thoda aur sone do na mummy..!" kahkar Priya ne Raj ko apni aur kheench liya.. mano apne takiye ko apne sir ke neeche lagane ki koshish kar rahi ho.. sparsh aur adhik aanandkari ho gaya.. aur adhik kamuk.. Priya ka chehra Raj ki Gardan ke sath chipka hua tha.. honton ne bus Raj ko chhoo hi liya tha..
Priya ke shareer mein huyi hulchal se uske sath baithi Sneha jaag gayi.. Jaagte hi jab iss manmohak drishya ko dekha toh wo apni hansi na Rok payi.. usne hath lagakar Riya ko jaga diya.. Riya aankhein masalte huye uth baithi aur wo bhi Raj aur Priya ko dekhkar 'Haaye Ram' kah baithi...
Raj ko laga ki jaise wo bina kuchh kiye hi Rangey haathon pakda gaya hai.. usne tapak se Priya ko Sneha ki taraf uchhalne ki koshish ki.. par Priya toh jaise us'se chipki huyi thi.. Raj usko apne se alag na kar paya..
Raj ne Riya aur Sneha ko dekha aur khisiaaya hua sa sharmakar mushkurane laga," Neend mein hai.. he he!"
"haye Ram.. tum dono sare raaste aise hi aaye ho..?" Riya ne sharaarat se kaha aur Priya ko jor se jhakjhor diya..
Priya hadbadakar uthi toh sabse pahle Raj ki aur aascharya se dekha.. uski baanhe Raj ki gardan se lipati huyi thi.. aur Raj na hans raha tha.. na ro raha tha.. aisi haalat mein tha..
Wah sambhal bhi nahi payi thi ki apne pichhe se usko Priya aur Sneha ki khilkhilati aawaj sunayi di.. wo hadbadakar uth baithi.. uski chunni Raj ki janghon par padi thi.. usne jhat se usko sambhalte huye najar neeche kare huye hi kaha..," pahunch gaye kya..?"
"hum toh pahunch gaye.. tumhara pata nahi?" Sneha ne khilkhilate huye gadi se utarte huye kaha.. Riya pahle hi utar chuki thi..
Priya iss tarah gadi se utarkar Riya ke pichhe bhagi jaise pahle Raj ne usko jabardasti pakad rakha ho," kya hai.. neend mein thi.. bata nahi sakti thi kya..?"
Raj ne aage aakar khidki kholi aur Viru ko hilaya," uthh le bhai; aa gaye..!"
Viru ne uthte hi peechhe dekha," Sneha kahan hai?"
"gayi wo andar yaar.. itni fikar mat kar.. aaja!" Raj ne neeche utarne mein uski madad ki...
"pata nahi yaar.. mujhe sab gadbad lag raha hai.. Isko lene mohan bhi toh aa sakta tha.. aur fir itni Raat ko wahan lene jane ki kya jarurat thi.. Subah bhi toh aa sakta tha.. kuchh na kuchh toh baat jaroor hai.. tu Sneha ka dhyan rakhna...! main toh uske sath ghoom nahi paaunga jyada.." Virender ko khatre ki boo aani shuru ho gayi thi...
"chinta kyun karta hai yaar..? wo mohan ka hi dost hai.. Fir Sneha bhi koyi pagal toh nahi hai na..." Raj ne kaha...
"hummm.." Kahte huye Viru Raj ke sath andar ghus gaya..
" kitni pyari pyari ladkiyan hain sari..... lag raha hai jaise koyi soundarya pratiyogita hone wali hai ghar mein..." Anjali ne sabhi ko dularte huye kaha...," Mere paas bhi hai ek.. tumhare hi jaisi.. andar soyi padi hai.. subah milawaaungi.. abhi so jao... neeche hi sona padega.. sorry.. maine bister laga diye hain andar.. Ladke bahar so jayenge.. living room mein!"
"theek hai didi.. neeche toh aur maja aayega... hai na Priya?" Sneha anjali ka dular dekh kar baag baag ho gayi...
"haan.." Priya aur Riya ek sath bol padi...
"achchha bachcho.. main toh chalta hoon.. subah milenge..!" Tough ne nikalte huye kaha...

[liljohn]

Raj aur viru bahar latekar so gaye.... "Ye sab koun hain didi?" Neend se jaagte hi Gouri ne Anjali ke paas kitchen mein akar poochha.
"Munh toh dhole pahle! Uthte hi tahqiqat shuru ho gayi teri.. Dekh mujhe college mein deri ho jayegi.. Tu jaldi se fresh hokar sabko jaga de.. Tab tak mein Nashta taiyaar kar deti hoon.. Jaldi karna.. Tu aisa kar aaj college se chhutti kar le.." Anjali ne kaam karte huye hi kaha...
"par batao toh Sahi... Aur kab aaye ye sab?" Gouri ne anjali ko peechhe se bahon mein bharte huye kaha..
"chhod mujhe.. Bata doongi.. Pahle mere kaam mein madad kar jara..!" Anjali ne apne aapko chhudate huye kaha..
Gouri living room mein aayi.. Raj aur viru ko gour se dekha aur bathroom mein ghus gayi...
"Arey Anjali di.. Mujhe na bula liya hota.. Lao chaku mujhe do!" Shivani Anjali ki baatein sunkar apne bedroom se aa gayi...
"Maine socha tumhe vicky ko bhi taiyaar karna hai college ke liye.. Isiliye.." Anjali kuchh kah hi rahi thi ki Shivani beech mein hi bol padi..," Main bhi subah dono ko dekhkar hairan rah gayi thi.. Ye kab aaye?"
"Raat ko 3 baje ke aaspaas aaye the.. Ajeet ke sath.. Meri toh abhi inse jaanpahchan bhi nahi huyi hai dhang se...!" Anjali ne aata goonthte huye jawab diya...
Bathroom se nikal kar Gouri ne Sneha ko jagaya," GudMorning!"
"Hi!" Sneha uth baithi!
"Kya naam hai tumhara?" Gouri ne uske paas baithte huye kaha..
"Sneha; aur aapka?"
"Gouri! Uthkar Fresh ho lo jaldi.. Mummy khana laga rahi hain..." Gouri auron ke Saamne Anjali ko mummy hi bolti thi...
"OK!" Sneha ne bathroom ka raasta poochha aur andar chali gayi...
"oye didi.. Ye dekho... Same to same!" Ek dusri ki aur munh kiye so rahi Priya aur Riya ko dekhkar Gouri khilkhilakar hans padi...
Riya ki aankh khul gayi.. Kabhi usko aur kabhi so rahi Priya ko abhi tak aascharya se dekh rahi Gouri ko dekhkar Riya ne khulasa kiya," Hum dono judwa bahne hain.. Main Riya aur ye priya.. Mujhse 8 minute chhoti.."
"ye toh kamaal ho gaya.. Judwan toh maine pahle bhi dekhe hain.. Par bilkul ek jaise kabhi nahi dekhe.. Waise main Gouri hoon..." Gouri ne apna parichay diya..
"aur wo jo bahar so rahe hain wo?" Gouri unke baare mein jaan'ne ko jyada utsuk thi...
"wo.. Wo toh Sneha ke bhai hain..Viru aur Raj..!" Riya ne unka parichay diya...
"aur tumhare?" Gouri ne yunhi poochh liya...
"hamare..? Hamare kuchh nahi.." kahkar Riya ne batteesi nikal di...
"Fir theek hai.. Ek baat toh hai.. Dono bahut sexy hain!" Gouri par masti chadhi huyi thi.. Jane kitne dino se.. Usko uski masti utaarne wala koyi mila hi nahi tha.. Dhang
ka...
"ek baat bolun?" Riya ne dheere se kaha..
"haan! Bolo?" utsuktavash gouri ne uski taraf kaan kar liye..
"uss.. Motu ko ye baat mat bolna..!" Riya ne darwaje mein se dikhayi de rahe virender ki taraf ungali karke kaha..
"kyun?" Gouri ne poochh hi liya...
"pagal hai.. Chappal nikal kar tumhare pichhe bhag lega.. he he he"
"hain... Sach mein..?" Gouri bhi hansne lagi...
"yakeen nahi aata toh karke dekh lena...."
tabhi Sneha bathroom se bahar aa gayi aur Riya chali gayi...
Sneha ne aakar Priya ko uthaya aur teeno idhar udhar ki baat karne lage...
Tabhi tough wahan aa gaya...," uth gaye tum log.. Maine socha intzaar karna padega.." Fir usne priya aur gouri ki aur ishara karke kaha," jao; jakar unko bhi utha do.. Mujhe Sneha se kuchh baat karni hai.. Bahar hi rahna.. Kuchh der..!"
dono chali gayi toh tough ne andar se kundi band kar li.. Sneha saham si gayi," Kya baat hai.. Ssir?"
"tumhe ye toh visvas ho hi gaya hoga ki main Mohan ka dost hoon..?"
"haan.. Par..!"
"par kya?"
" par aap aise kyun poochh rahe hain? Kahan hain wo.. Kab tak aa jayenge?" Sneha ne ek hi saans mein kayi sawaal poochh dale...
"dekho.. Meri baat dhyan se sun'na.. Kisi bhi pichhli baat ko yaad karke mayoos hone ki jarurat nahi hai.. Humne.. Jo kuchh bhi kiya hai.. Sab tumhari bhalayi ke liye..." Tough ne bhumika baandhni shuru ki...
"aap mujhe dara kyun rahe hain..? Sahi sahi bataiye na Mohan kab tak aa jayenge..." Sneha ko tough ki baaton ke andaj se bechaini si hone lagi...
"main kah tih raha hoon.. Tumhe jaan pyari hai ki nahi.." Tough jhunjhla utha..
Sahmi huyi Sneha ne 'haan' mein sir hila diya...
"jeena chahti ho na..?"
"jji.. Haan.. Magar Mohan..."
"koun Mohan? Kiska Mohan.. Tum meri baat hi nahi sun rahi ho.. Kab se kah raha hoon ki meri baat suno.. Meri baat suno.. Akal hai ya nahi.. " darasal tough samajh hi nahi pa raha tha ki vicky ka Raj Sneha ke saamne khole toh kaise khole.. Sneha khud itni najuk thi.. Uska dil kaisa hoga.. Kya sah payegi wo? Isi baat ne sari raat Tough ko sone nahi diya tha..," Dekho.. Thande dimag se suno.. Pls!" Tough ne yatha sambha samanya hone ki koshish ki...
"ji.... " Sneha bilkul chup ho gayi...
"darasal.. Wo.. Wo Mohan nahi hai... Jise tum mohan samajh rahi ho.."
sneha kuchh samajh hi nahi payi.. Mohan wo hai ya koyi aur.. Iss baat se usko kya lena dena... Wo toh uska intzaar kar rahi thi jisne uske jeewan ko ek nayi disha di.. Ek nayi roshni dikhayi.. Naam mein kya rakha hai.. Par jo koyi bhi wo tha, uska apna tha..," kahan hai wo...? Mujhe uske paas le chalo.. Pls main aapke hath jodti hoon..."
boukhla se gaye tough ne turant apni jeb se mini recorder nikala aur usko on kar diya.. Har wo baat jo vicky aur Murari ne thane mein ki thi.. Doharayi jane lagi: "haan.. bol Murari!" Vicky ne Murari ko ghoora...
"tu toh mujhse bhi bada kamina nikla re.. seedhe matlab ki baat par aaja.. bata.. meri beti mujhe sounpne ka kya lega?" Murari ki aawaj mein gussa aur bebasi saaf jhalak rahi thi...
"wo multiplex!" vicky ne do took jawab diya..
" ja le le... badle mein Sneha mujhe mil jayegi na...." Murari ne kaha..
"maine kya uska aachar daalna hai? jahan chahe chali jaye.. mujhe kya? waise bhi main toh ladki ko ek baar hi use karta hoon...." Vicky ne cigarettee nikal kar sulga li...
"na.. na.. mujhe chahiye.. wo haramjadi... manjoor ho toh bolo..." Murari ka chehra nafrat aur kadwahat se bhar uthha...
" tujhe main bata doon ki wo tere paas rahna nahi chahti.. nafrat karti hai tujhse.. teri shakal bhi dekhna nahi chahti... .. bayan mein nahi hone doonga.. meri guarantee..fir tu kya karega uska ?" Vicky ne uski aankhon mein jhankte huye kaha..
Murari ki aankhein laal ho gayi.. nathune fool gaye aur kisi bhediye ki tarah gurrane laga," Uska wahi karronga jo uski maa ka kiya tha.. sali kutiya... behan chod.. usko nangi karke apne saamne chudwaaunga... fir jangli kutton ke aage daal dunga.. usne sari duniya ko bata hi diya ki wo meri aulad nahi hai... ek baar mujhe sounp de bus.. bol manjoor hai ki nahi...?"
Vicky ke jahan se ek lambi saans aah ke roop mein nikli.. kaisa hai Murari? Aadmi hai ya bhediya.. kuchh minute ke moun ke baad bola..," majoor hai.. ladki tumhe mil jayegi.. mujhe multiplex ke kagaj milne ke baad..."
"to fir milao hath.. tum apna fone do.. main abhi uske malik ko fone karta hoon.. tum chaho toh kal hi usko paise dekar multiplex apne naam karwa sakte ho..." Murari ne vicky ka hath apne hath main pakad liya...
vicky ne apna hath chhudwaya aur jor jor se hansne laga...," tu kya samajhta hai.. maine itni mehnat sirf tujhse no objection certificate lene ke liye ki hai.. nahi! wo toh main kabhi bhi uski kanpati par rivolver rakhkar khareed sakta tha... ab wo multiplex tu khareed kar mujhe dega.. yani paise tere honge.. aur maal mujhe milega..!"



"matlab tu samajhta hai ki main apne paas se tujhe 8 karod rupaiya doonga... ?" Murari ne hairat se uski aur dekha...
"8 nahi 10 karod.. aur mujhe pata hai ki tu dega.. kyunki 10 karod ganwane 10 saal jail mein kaatne se kahin jyada aasan hai tere liye.. 10 saalon mein toh tu pata nahi kitne 10 karod kama lega...!" Vicky ne katil muskaan Murari ki aur fainki...

Murari ne apna sir table par rakh liya aur kuchh der udhedbun mein pada raha... fir achanak uthkar bola," main sirf 8 karod doonga.. aur mujhe wo loundiya hath ke hath chahiye.. bol kab de sakta hai...?"
"jab tum chaho.. par abhi toh tumhari 14 din ki security officer custody hai na?" vicky ne Murari se sawaal kiya...
"tumhe jab chahe paise mil jayenge.. tum batao.. kab la sakte ho Sneha ko..?" Murari ne sawaal par sawaal mara...
" main baanke ko bata doonga...! sochkar.." Vicky ne ajjeb se andaj mein baanke ka naam liya...
"baanke... tum baanke ko kaise jaante ho?" Murari chounk kar uchhal pada....
"kyun hairani huyi na... Mujhe kidnap karne kuchh chooson ko sath lekar aaya tha.. abhi mere gusalkhane mein kaid hain teeno.. agar tum aaj nahi maante toh tum par ek case aur lagna tha.. " Vicky jor jor se hansne laga....
tabhi tough ne office mein pravesh kiya..," lagta hai kuchh soudebazi ho gayi tum dono ki...?"
"nahi.. inspector sahab.. hum dono mein kuchh galatfahmiyan thi.. jo aaj sath baithne se door ho gayi.. waise vicky ji kah rahe hain ki ye Sneha ko manane ki koshish karenge... apne bayan wapas lene ke liye.. kyun vicky ji?" Murari ne baat sapast ki...

[liljohn]

Recording khatam hote hote Sneha ke aansuon ka dariya bhi sookh chuka tha. Apne ghutno ko mod kar unn par apna sir rakhe Sneha shunya ko ghoor rahi thi. Wah samajh hi nahi pa rahi thi ki ab kiski chhati par sir rakhkar roye. Uske armaan uski siskiyon mein dafan hote ja rahe the, pal bhar ko mili khushiyan umar bhar ke liye uske nadan aur tanha dil par kahar ban kar toot padi thi. Ab na kuchh sapno ka karwan sajane mein rakha tha, aur na hi na-ummedi ko darkinar kar nayi kiran dhoondhne mein. Chand minute pahle tak mohabbat ke noor se khila khila sa chehra ab apne wajood ko talash raha lagta tha.. Na wo Murari ki beti hai, Na wo Vicky ki mahbooba.. Mohan ka toh khud ka hi astitav nahi hai, uss'se ummeed kare bhi toh kya kare.....?
"ab ho gaya yakeen? Vicky ne shamsher bhai ke saamne apni mansha jahir kar di thi, isiliye maine ye baatein record kar li.. Par hamein iss baat ka guman tak nahi tha ki ye bhi ho sakta hai.. Shukra hai humein pahle hi pata lag gaya; tum bach gayi...." Tough ne uske kandhe par hath rakh diya.
"Sneha achanak hi fat padi," Kahan bach gayi main? Kya bach gayi? Kiske liye? .. Ye toh maine kabhi bhi nahi manga tha.. Bhagwan se... Aisa bhi hota hai kabhi..?" Sneha ki karah uski aawaj ke jariye tough ka kaleja cheer rahi thi..
"darasal... Vicky kaisa bhi hai.. Par dil ka utna bura nahi hai.. Ek baar uske sir se multiplex ka bhoot utar jane do.. Main khud bhi uss'se baat karunga.. Koshish karenge ki tum jindagi ke iss dorahe mein apna bhavishya nirdharit kar sako...."

Sneha bahut kuchh bolna chahti thi..Kahan hai doraha..? Wo toh ek aise gol ghere mein lakar khadi kar di gayi hai jiske charon aur aag hai.. Ab uske liye ek hi rasta bacha hai.. Uss aag mein koodkar khud ko swaha kar dena.. Haan.. Yahi ek rasta hai..
Par jaise uski juban par tala lag gaya ho... Bina kuchh bole hi hajaron sawalon mein ulajhi Baithi Sneha sivay subakne ke aur kar hi kya sakt thi..
Na.. Kuchh nahi! "Jab tak koyi rasta nahi nikal jata, tum yahin rahna.. kisi baat ki chinta mat karo.. hum sab tumhare sath hain.. ye lo.. mera aur Shamsher bhai ka no. ! koyi bhi jarurat pade toh fone kar lena.. theek hai?" Kahkar tough wahan se uth gaya.. aur wo kar bhi kya sakta tha.. iss'se jyada!
Bahar nikal kar tough Virender ke paas ja baitha aur baki teeno ko apne paas bulaya.. Raj aakar viru ke sath hi baith gaya jabki dono ladkiyan khadi thi... kisi ko bhi ab tak Sneha par pahad toot padne ki bhanak nahi thi..
Tough Priya aur Riya se mukhatib hua," tum dono Sneha ke paas kaise aayi?"
"w..wo hum uski saheliyan hain.. uss'se milne aayi thi.." Riya ne tapak se jhooth bola...
"mil li?" Tough ka agla sawaal tha...
"Haan.. magar..!" Riya ne kuchh bolna chaha..
"Magar kya? kya tumhare ghar walon ko khabar hai ki tum iss waqt kahan ho..?" Tough ne dono se sawaal kiya..
Iss baat par Priya chintit hokar bagle jhankne lagi.. par Riya ne himmat na hari..," haan.. pata hai unko.. sab pata hai.. aur kya hum bhag kar aaye hain..?" Riya ne batteesi nikal kar tough ki baat ka jawaab diya..
" Lao.. mujhe unka no. do.. main unse baat kar loon jara.. agar unko koyi aitraaj na ho toh tum kuchh din aur Sneha ke paas ruk jana.." Tough ne apna mobile nikalte huye kaha..
" Nahi.. wo.. humne baat kar li thi.. unko koyi aitraaj nahi hai.. chahe hum kitne bhi din rukein.. Sneha ke sath.." Riya ne viru ki aur munh chidhate huye kaha.. Viru kafi der se usi ko ghoor raha tha...
" Mujhe no. toh de do! main baat kar leta hoon.. kya harz hai.." Tough ne fir uss'se contact no. manga..
" par ghar ka no. toh hai hi nahi.. mummy ne toh STD se baat kari thi.. Sham ko.." Riya tab tak sambhal chuki thi...
"tum chalne ki taiyari karo.. main tumhe bhiwani se bus main baitha deta hoon.." tough ne Raj aur viru se kaha," yahan sabke Rahne mein dikkat aayegi... sorry!"
Raj aur viru ek dusre ka munh taakne lage.. ab dusre ke ghar par jabardasti rahte bhi toh kaise.. Raj ne apna chehra ghumakar Priya ki aur dekha.. wo aankhon hi aankhon mein uss'se wahin ruk jane ki prarthna kar rahi thi.. Par Raj bhi kya karta bechara...
Viru ne Stick ke sahare khada hote huye kaha," theek hai.. main jara Sneha se baat kar loon.. kahan hai wo..?"
" andar hai.. thahro.. main yahin bulakar lata hoon.. " kahkar Tough andar chala gaya...
Sneha yunhi baithi thi.. jaisa tough usko bahar nikalte huye chhodkar gaya tha.. shunya ko niharte huye..," Dekho Sneha.. yahan kisi ke saamne kuchh bhi jahir mat karna.. baat pata nahi kahan ki kahan nikal jati hai.. tumhari saheliyan abhi wapas jane se mana kar rahi hain.. unhe yahin rahne doon.. ek aadh din..? tumhara mann bhi lag jayega..!"
Sneha ne koyi jawab nahi diya.. bus palkein uthakar ek baar tough ko dekha aur fir se neeche dekhne lagi...
" dono ladke ja rahe hain.. aaj hi.. apna munh dho lo aur ek baar bahar aakar unse baat kar lo.. aise munh kyun latkaye baithi ho.. main kah raha hoon na.. tumhe kuchh nahi hoga.. aao.. utho" kahte huye tough ne usko khadi kar diya.. wah aise bathroom ki aur chal di jaise uske pairon mein jaan bachi hi na ho...
Sneha apna chehra dhokar bahar aayi.. gaalon par aasuon ke nishan mit gaye par dil par lage ghavon ki parchhayi aur gadhi ho gayi.. wah yun hi chalte chalte bedroom se bahar nikli.. aur Viru aur Raj ko dekhte hi fir se foot foot kar rone lagi.. kya ye bhi kuchh 'pal' ke hi bhai the?
"kya hua Sneha?" Viru ka aisa bolna tha ki Sneha ka karun krandan aur tej ho gaya.. sabhi bechaini se uski aur dekhne lage... tough ne usko aisa kya bata diya?
Sneha roti huyi viru ke saamne jakar khadi huyi.. ek pal ke liye uski nigahon mein jhanaka.. aur fir uski chhati se ja lipti," bhaiyaaa!"
Viru ki nigahon mein uske liye ab bhi waisa hi lawanya tha.. waisa hi Prem! wo badal ki tarah pal pal roop badalne walon mein se nahi tha..
"Pagli.. ro kyun rahi hai..? hum fir aa jayenge milne.. milte rahenge.. Mohan ko bol dena.. har hafte humse milane laya kare.. chup ho ja.. pagal!" Viru ne uske gaalon se aansoo pounchhte huye kaha...
Mohan ka naam Viru ki juban par aate hi Sneha yun bilakh padi jaise kisi ne uski vina ke taaron ko bedardi de tod diya ho..," Tum mat jao bhaiya.. main mar jaaungi.. pls.. tum toh mat jao chhodkar...!" Sneha ne najrein uthakar Viru se guhar lagayi..
"Hum Sneha ko apne sath hi le jayenge.. isko kuchh nahi hoga.. mera wada hai aapse..." Viru ne tough ki aur dekhte huye kaha...
Tough bina kuchh bole bahar nikal gaya.. uski samajh mein kuchh nahi aa raha tha.. usne Shamsher ka no. milaya..
"haan.. tough.. bolo..!" Shamsher ne fone uthate hi kaha..
"bhai.. yahan toh.. meri samajh mein kuchh nahi aa raha.. na toh wo ladkiyan jane ko taiyaar hain.. aur na Sneha unn ladkon ko jane dena chahti.. batao main kya karoon.. mujhse Sneha ka rona bhi dekha nahi ja raha.. kaho toh main inn sabko bhiwani le jaaun? wahi kar deta hoon.. sabaka rahne ka...." Tough wakai mein pareshan lag raha tha...
"hummm.. ek minute.. Anjali kahan hai..?" Shamsher ne poochha...
"kitchen mein hogi..!" Tough ne andar ki aur jhankte huye kaha..
"baat karana ek baar..." Shamsher ne tough se kaha...
"Ek minute.." kahkar tough andar gaya...," bhabhi ji.. ek minute bahar aana.."
Anjali bahar aa gayi..
"lo baat karo.. Shamsher bhai se.." kahkar tough ne fone Anjali ko de diya..
"Haan Sham...." anjali naam lete lete beech mein hi ruk gayi...
"tum aaj kal mein koyi college ka tour arrange nahi kar sakti; 5-7 din ke liye...?" Shamsher ne anjali se poochha..
" aaj-kal mein? par agle mahine se bachchon ke term exam hain.. aise mein koun jayega...? par ye tour ka vichar kaise aaya..?" Anjali ne safayi dete huye sawaal poochha...
" koyi jaye.. na jaye.. par bahut jaroori hai.. inn bachchon ke liye.. Sneha ka mann bhi lag jayega.. bechari bahut pareshan hai.. Disha aur vani ho jayengi.. Gouri hai.. bachche toh ho jayenge.. tum kisi bhi tarah se ye kaam kar lo.. pls!" Shamsher ne vinaypoorn arthon mein Anjali se kaha...
" kyun Sharminda kar rahe ho..? ho jayega.. aur bolo..!" Anjali ne Shamsher se kaha...
" Thanx Anjali.. ab sab theek ho jayega...! Really thanx.." Shamsher ne anjali ka dhanyawad kiya...

[liljohn]

"thanx se kaam nahi chalega.." anjali ne ek taraf hote huye kaha..," tumhe bhi chalna padega.. aaj aa rahe ho na...!" Anjali ne muskurate huye kaha...
" main kya karoonga.. chalkar.. tour se hi toh lout raha hoon..!"
"Tumse kuchh hisab kitab baki hai.. purana.. chalna toh tumhe padega hi.." kahkar muskurate huye Anjali ne fone kaat diya aur wapas aate huye tough ko de diya," tum fikar na karo.. aaram se khana khao aur chale jao.. main sambhal loongi...!" anjali ne muskurate huye kaha...
college-Trip ki baat sunkar sabhi ke chehre khil gaye... sabhi khushi se jhoom uthe.. sivay ek chehre ke.. uski muskaan toh ab Mohan hi wapas la sakta tha.. jiska wajood hi iss duniya mein nahi tha kahin...
Tough ne sabhi ke sath nashta kiya.. Sneha ko bhi jabardasti ek aadh took khilaya aur sabko bye bolkar chala gaya... Subah uthte hi Priya ki mummy ki cheekh nikal gayi.. usne poora ghar chhan mara tha par dono mein se koyi bhi dikhayi nahi di.. upar tala laga hua tha.. wah hadbadayi huyi bedroom mein aayi," wo dono kahan hain ji?"
"koun dono?" Vijender ne latey latey hi poochha..
"Ppriya.. aur Riya?"
jawan betiyon ke bare mein aisa sunte hi Vijender apne ghutne ke dard ko bhool kar bister se uchhal pada aur khada ho gaya," kahan hain? .. kya hua?"
" dono mein se koyi bhi ghar par nahi hai ji.. kahan gayi meri bachchiyan..?" mummy dahad maarkar rone lagi..
"chup karo.. Sare mohalle ko sunaogi kya ab? dhoondho unko.. nahi toh kahin munh dikhane ke layak nahi rahenge.. Main pahle hi kahta tha.. inn par najar rakha karo..! bathroom mein dekha hai?" Vijender ne usko chup rahne ka ishara karte huye kaha...
"Dekh liya ji.. har jagah dekh liya.. main toh upar bhi dekh aayi.. kahan gayi meri bachchiyan...?" mummy ka rona kum na hua...
"ye sab tumhare hi laad pyar ka nateeja hai.. bhugto ab..!" Vijender ne jhallate huye kaha...
"laad pyar se koyi ghar se door nahi jata ji.. tumne hi har jagah unn par pahra lagwa diya tha.. jane kahan chali gayi.. aapse itna darti thi.. " Mummy roti rahi...
"ab chup bhi karo.. aas pados mein jikar mat karna.. ijjat ke chithde udd jayenge hamari.. fone vone aaye toh pyar se bula lena unko.. main kuchh nahi kahoonga... pata nahi aajkal ke bachche.. kahan gayi hongi haramkhor..?" Vijender ki kuchh samajh mein nahi aa raha tha.. kya karein.. kya na karein.. wo apna sir pakad kar bed par baith gaya.......
----------------------------------------
Vicky subah kareeb 9 baje Viru aur Raj ke kamre par pahuncha.. kamre par tala laga dekh uska matha thanak gaya.. kuchh sochte huye wah bahar nikla aur road par khadi apni gadi mein baith gaya aur baithte hi usne Raj ka no. dial kiya..
"hello.. Mohan bhai sahab?" Raj ne fone uthate hi poochha...
" haan.. kahan ho yaar? tumhare room par toh tala laga hai!" Vicky ne poochha...
"hum toh yahan aa chuke hain... Loharu! aap wahan kyun gaye?" Raj ne sahaj bhav se poochha..
"Loharu????? wahan kya lene gaye ho yaar tum.. maine kaha toh tha.. main subah apne aap le jaaunga..." Vicky jhalla utha.. wah pahle hi late ho raha tha.. deal ka time hone wala tha..
"par aapne hi toh Ajeet bhai sahab ko bheja tha.. Sneha ko lene.. hum bhi aa gaye sath hi..." Raj ne jawaab diya...
"Ajeet?? koun ajee.. oh shit.. Tough?" Vicky ko sab kiye karaye par pani firta najar aane laga..
"koun tough?" Raj ki aawaj ubhari...
" khair chhodo... abhi kahan hai wo?.. Ajeet?" Vicky ne baat ko sambhalte huye poochha...
"wo toh chale gaye.. abhi aadha ghanta pahle hi nikle hain..."
"koyi baat nahi.. Sneha kahan hai...?" Vicky ne poochha...
"wo andar leti hai.. uski tabiyat theek nahi hai..." Raj ne jaanboojh kar ye nahi bataya ki wo bahut royi hai.. wo kisi bhi halat mein college trip miss nahi karna chahte the...
"waise toh sab theek hai na.. matlab.. !" Vicky bolta hua achanak ruk gaya.. uske fone par baanke ki call aa rahi thi..
" haan.. sab theek hai.." Raj ki taraf se jawab aaya..
"achchha.. main 2 minute ke baad fone karta hoon.. tum Sneha ko fone de aao.. mujhe uss'se kuchh baat karni hai.. akele mein..!" Vicky ne kaha..
"achchha bhai sahab!" kahkar Raj ne fone kaat diya...
Vicky ne baanke ke paas fone milaya..," haan bol!"
"maal taiyaar hain.. kab aana hai?" Udhar se aawaj aayi...
" Kitne hain?" Vicky ne poochha...
" poore hain.. 8! ladki sath lana...." Baanke ne kaha...
" hummm.. par maine jagah badal di hai... pahle wali jagah cancel!"
"kyun?" baanke ne sawaal kiya..
" ladki wahan nahi hai jahan thi.. ab mujhe usko lana padega.. tum bhiwani ke paas pahuncho... main 3 ghante baad.. uske aas paas hi kahin bulaaunga.."
"theek hai.. par wo jagah toh final hogi na..." Baanke ne fir poochha...
Vicky ne bina sune hi fone kaat diya aur Raj ka no. dial kiya... " Ye sab kya hai Sneha? Sab itne khush hain, tour par jane ko lekar aur tum yahan leti ho, Akeli! baat kya hai aakhir? pata toh chale!" Raj ne andar jate hi Sneha se kaha..
Sneha ne baithi hokar apne chehre ke aansuon ko hath se saaf kiya," kuchh nahi.. wo meri tabiyat kharaab hai!"
"ye lo! khush ho jao.. Mohan ka fone aaya tha.. abhi fir aayega.. chalo uthkar munh dho lo aur baat karke bahar aa jao, hum sabhi tour ki planning kar rahe hain.. Mohan ko bol dena, wo tumhe tour ke baad hi yahan se le jaye..." Raj ne kaha aur Fone wahan rakhkar bahar chala gaya..
Mohan ka naam sunte hi Sneha ki aankhon mein pal bhar ke liye chamak aa gayi, par jaise hi usko vastavikta ka aabhas hua wo fir se murjha gayi.. fone ko hath mein liye huye wah bina palak jhapakaye usko dekhti Rahi jab tak ki uss par Mohan ka fone nahi aa gaya.. fone aate hi usne jhat se call attend karke fone apne kaan se laga liya..
" Hello!" fone mein se aawaj aayi...
" I love you jaan!" Sneha ne kaha aur kisi bachche ki tarah rone lagi...
"I love you too yaar.. par ye tum... ro kyun rahi ho?" Vicky ka dil dhadak raha tha kahin Sneha ko sab pata na chal gaya ho; uske baare mein...
Sneha ki aankhon se aansoo aur aawaj mein karun kampan thamne ka naam nahi le rahe the," tum.. tum mujhe chhod kar kyun chale gaye.. Vi.. Mohan!" Sneha ne toh Mohan se pyar kiya tha.. vicky toh bus yunhi hi nikalne ko ho gaya tha..
"kahan chhod gaya main? ek raat ki hi toh baat thi.. abhi tumhe lene aaya toh tum yahan mili nahi.. wahan kaise pahunch gayi tum..?" Vicky Sneha ke 'chhod kar chale jane' kahne ka matlab nahi samajh paya...
Sneha kuchh na boli.. Rah rah kar uski lambi siskiyan Vicky ko fone par sunayi de rahi thi..
"main tumhe lene aa raha hoon! taiyaar ho jao jaan.." vicky ne sneha se kaha...
fir se jawaab ke roop mein ek lumbi siski ke siway vicky ko kuchh na sunayi diya.. uska dil dhak dhak karne laga.. kahin uske sare kiye karaye par pani toh nahi fir gaya hai..
" aaogi na.. mere sath.. ? bahut pyar karna hai jaan.. kal se tumhe dekhne ko dil machal raha hai.. ji bharkar pyar karenge.. aaogi na.. abhi?" Vicky ne Sex ka paasa Sneha ki aur fainaka..
Sneha ke jajbaat tees bankar uski chhati mein chubhne lagey.. par wah kuchh na boli...
"tumhe kisi ne bargalaya toh nahi hai jaan.. mujh par visvas nahi hai kya?" Vicky ki dhadkane tej ho gayi thi.. Uski pareshani uske maathe par chhalak aaye pasine se saaf jhalak rahi thi...
" main aa rahi hoon..! lene aa jao" aur Sneha fafak padi.. jane kya sochkar usne ye faisla liya tha.........
" I love you jaan...! Main tumhe lene aa raha hoon.. taiyaar rahna.. main andar nahi aaunga.. tumse pyar karne ko bekaraar hoon.. aa raha hoon main.." Vicky ne fone rakhne ke baad Sneha ke jawaab ka intzaar kiya.. par jawaab mein lagataar uski siskiyan hi mil rahi thi.. Vicky ne fone kaat diya..
-------------------------------------------------------
" Ji Shrimati ji! kahiye; kisliye yaad kiya?" Vasu ne office ke andar aate hi Anjali se sawaal kiya..
"aaiiye Vasu ji!" Anjali uske vyaktitav se iss kadar prabhavit thi ki uske office mein aane par ek baar apni kursi chhod kar khadi jaroor hoti thi," Baithiye!"
"ji, dhanyawad... kahiye?" Vasu kursi sambhalte huye bola...
"Darasal.. hamne socha hai ki kyun na bachchon ko kahi ghuma kar le aaya jaye.. PTA fund ka kafi paisa hamre paas jama hai.. soch rahi thi.. uska sadupyog hi ho jaye.. aapka kya vichar hai?" Anjali ne vasu ki rai jaan'ni chahi..
"par agle mahine se toh bachchon ki pareekshayein aarambh ho rahi hain.. hum uske paschat bhi aisa kar sakte hain.. kshama karein par mujhe toh abhi iska auchitya samajh mein nahi aata!" Vasu ne do took jawaab diya..
Anjali niruttar ho gayi.. usko aisa hi jawaab milne ka andesha tha.. waise bhi tour par college se ek male teacher ka bachchon ke sath hona jaroori tha.. aur Sunil niji karno se pahle hi sath jaane mein asamarthta darsha chuka tha...
"par 5-7 din chalne mein harz hi kya hai? exam waise bhi september last mein hain.. aur unko hum ek saptaah aur aage sarka denge.. boliye?" Anjali ne usko manane ki koshish ki..
" aap jo chahe karein.. aapne mujhse rai maangi thi.. so maine de di.. mujhe aagya dein..meri kaksha ka samay nikla ja raha hai" kahkar Vasu kursi se uth gaya...
" par aapko toh sath chalna padega na.. isiliye toh poochh rahi hoon.." Anjali ne apna mantvya sapast kiya...
" kshma karein shrimati ji! main sath nahi de paaunga aapka.. !" Vasu ne do took kaha aur hath jodkar bahar nikal gaya...
"uff.. kya kiya jaye?" Anjali ne ek lumbi saans li aur fone nikal kar shamsher ke paas mila liya...
------------------------------
"Sir.. mujhe ye sum samajh nahi aa raha!" Neeru najrein jhukaye class se bahar nikal rahe Vasu ke saamne apna math lekar khadi ho gayi...
Vasu ka tanha aur bechain dil dhadak utha.. uss haseen subah ke baad Neeru ne uske paas aana hi chhod diya tha.. college khulne ke baad bhi wo uss'se kanni kaatne lagi thi.. Vasu bhi jhijhak ke karan kabhi usko tok nahi paya tha
" ohh.. ye sawaal.. ye toh bahut hi aasan hai.." baag baag ho uthe Vasu ne uske hath se kitab lete huye kaha.. uski tirchi najar ne bus ek baar Neeru ki chunni mein chhipi huyi uski gol chhatiyon ke beech se jhalak rahi thodi si magar kamuk khayi ko nihara," kahan samajhaaun?"
" jahan aapka dil kare sir.... Staff room mein....?" Neeru ne apne hathon ki ungaliyan matkate huye kaha.. bechaini mein log aksar aisa karte hain... Vasu se najrein wo ab bhi mila nahi pa rahi thi...
"nahi nahi... matlab... mera ye abhipray nahi tha.." Vasu ko laga jaise uski najron ko Neeru ne taad liya hai.. ," aapki abhyas pustika kahan hai..? usi par toh samjhaunga na..?"
Neeru lajjit si hokar class mein gayi.. aur apni copy utha layi.. Vasu wahin khade hokar usko sawaal samjhane laga..
"Sirrr..!" Neeru ne najrein churate huye Vasu ko beech mein tok diya...
"bolo!" Vasu ne apni nisthur aawaj ko aakhiri had tak meethi kar liya...
" w.. wo.. sir, yahan ... shor bahut jyada hai.. Staffroom mein chalein..!" Neeru ne atak atak kar apni baat poori ki... apne ek pair se dusre pair ko dabate huye usne bus ek baar, ek baar Vasu se najrein milayi...
Vasu uske mann ke bhanvo ko taad gaya.. copy uske hath mein dete huye bola," tum 5 minute ke baad aana!" aur staff room ki aur nikal gaya.. " Ji Shrimati ji! kahiye; kisliye yaad kiya?" Vasu ne office ke andar aate hi Anjali se sawaal kiya..
"aaiiye Vasu ji!" Anjali uske vyaktitav se iss kadar prabhavit thi ki uske office mein aane par ek baar apni kursi chhod kar khadi jaroor hoti thi," Baithiye!"

thank god
vasu laut k to aaya...xb par na sahi gs me hi sahi aaya to

ab ek bar fir hanuman vakt ka takrav menka se hota dekhne ko milega... " May I come in, Sir?" Neeru ke badan mein Vasu ko Staffroom mein akela pakar jhurjhuri si doud gayi. Vasu ke hath ka nabhi ke neeche wo kamuk sparsh abhi tak usko jyon ka tyon mahsoos ho raha tha.. mano kal ki hi baat ho..
Vasu ne aankhon hi aankhon mein usko andar aane ka ishara kiya.. Neeru ke Manobhavon ko taad kar uske ang pratyang mein prem ras ka sanchar hone laga tha..
Neeru andar aayi aur apni kitab uthakar Vasu ke saamne table par rakh di.. aur khud vasu ki kursi ke jitna paas khadi ho sakti thi; ho gayi..
"ye lo.. kitna aasan tha.. jaane kyun samajh nahi pa rahi thi.. ab aa gaya..?" Vasu ne uske saamne sawal nikal kar dikhane ke baad kaha
Neeru ne Vasu ki aankhon mein Aankhein Dali.. jaise kuchh kaha ho.. fir najrein jhuka li.. aur wahin khadi rahi.. Vasu ki kohni Neeru ke ghutno se kuchh upar uski jaangh ko chhoo rahi thi.. uss samay toh Neeru ko hulka sa wo sparsh hi jaanleva prateet ho raha tha..
"aur kuchh........... samajhna hai kya?" Vasu uski taraf se pahal ka intzaar kar raha tha...
"Ji! ..... Ji nahi!" Jab neeru se kuchh bola hi nahi gaya toh wah wahan rahkar karti bhi kya? hulak sa jhuk kar apni kitabein uthai aur chalne lagi.. Vasu se raha na gaya," Nee.."
"Ji Sir..!" Neeru ne apna naam bhi poora na lene diya.. turant palat gayi.. jaise usko pata hi tha.. Vasu usko rokega jaroor..," Ji.. Sir!" Neeru ne wapas table ke paas aakar kitabein usspar rakh di aur dono hathon se table par lagi sunmayika ko side se khurachane lagi.. najrein jhukaye huye.. jaise uska pata hi tha ki Vasu ab kya bolega.. khadi khadi uske badan mein kanpkapi si jaag uthi...
"w.. wo.. main kah raha tha.. tumhare ghar bhainse hain kya?" vasu kya ka kya bol gaya...
"Ji? ..." Neeru ne najrein uthakar Vasu ke chehre ko dekha aur najrein milaye bina hi wapas jhuka li.. kum se kum usko itne betuke sawaal ki ummeed nahi thi.. itna romanch paida hone ke baad...," Ji hain..."
" Doodh deti hain..?" Vasu ka agla superhit sawaal!!!
Neeru ne sakpaka kar apni chunni ko theek kiya.. uske dimag mein jo kuchh chal raha tha.. uss'se usko yahi khayal aaya ki uske hi 'doodh' ki baat kar di Vasu ne! aur jaise hi usko hosh aaya, usne khud ko sambhala," Ji.. abhi toh nahi.."
"hummm.." Vasu ne apna sir hilatehuye kaha.. vasu ko samajh hi nahi aa raha tha.. aage kya bole? kaise bole?..
"Sir..?"
"haan?" Vasu ne ummeed ki shayad wahi shuruat kar de..
" main jaaun? Class mein?" aur wo bechari kya kahti...
"haan.. ek minute!" Vasu ne usko fir rok liya.. iss baar uska hath pakad kar..
Neeru ke Sare shreer mein uttejna ki lehar doud gayi... usne ghabrakar Vasu ki aur dekha.. toh Vasu ne turant hath chhod diya... Neeru tadap uthi," Nahi Sir.. main aisa nahi kah rahi.." Neeru ko Vasu ka yun hath pakad kar chhodna katai achchha nahi laga.. uska hath abhi bhi vasu ki taraf utha hua tha.. jo vasu ne chhod diya tha....
" kya?" Vasu ki samajh mein nahi aaya.. wo kya kah rahi hai.. aur kya nahi..
" wo.. Sir.. mujhe bura nahi laga.. jab aapne hath pakda toh.." Neeru ka sara badan uttejna ki gart mein doobta ja raha tha.. aakhirkar usne kah hi diya...
Vasu ne hath badhakar fir se uska hath pakad liya.. ek baar darwaje ki taraf dekha aur dusre hath se uski kalayi ko sahlane laga.. pyar se..
Neeru ki aankhein band ho gayi aur wah apni kalayi par pyar se reng rahe vasu ke hath ko apne har nag par mahsoos karne ki koshish karne lagi.. 'wahan' geelepan ka ahsaas hote hi usne apni jaanghon ko ek dusri se chipka liya.. saanson ki teevrata ke sath hi unmein madakta bhi badh gayi.. jo Vasu ko seedhe apne kaleje mein mahsoos ho rahi thi...
"uss din toh bura laga tha na?" Vasu ne apne hath ki pakad uski hatheliyon par majboot kar di...
Neeru ne aankhein band kiye huye hi apna sir 'na' mein hila diya.. usko samajhte der na lagi ki Vasu kis din ki baat kar raha hai.. uske teji se dhadak rahe dil se saaf tha ki 'uss' din jaisa hi kuchh wo aaj bhi chahti hai.. bulki uss'se bhi jyada...
" Fir tum wahan se bhagi kyun?" Vasu ka sawaal jayaj tha.. par waqt sahi nahi tha.. ye waqt sawaal jawaab ka thode hi tha.. aage badhne ka tha.. pichhli galatiyon ko bhoola kar...
"aayinda nahi bhagungi Sir..." lambi saans chhodte huye Neeru khisak kar vasu ki kursi se satkar khadi ho gayi aur uski taraf arthpoorn najron se dekha......
"bhag chalein.. sorry.. bahar chalein.. Ghoomne ke liye.. 5-7 din?" Vasu ne uska dusra hath bhi apne hath mein lekar usko apni taraf ghuma diya..

[liljohn]

" par ye kaise ho sakta hai Sir.. ghar walon ko kya kahoongi...?" Neeru ne sawaal kiya.. halanki uski taraf se poori 'haan' thi...
" college ki taraf se jaayein toh.. aur bachchon ke sath..?" Vasu ka bhi tour ka mood ban gaya tha.. Neeru ke sath
Neeru ke anchhuye youvan ki pyas hathon se na mit paane ki kasak Neeru ki aankhon mein sapast dikhayi di jab usne Vasu se najrein char ki," chaloongi Sir.. kab chalna hai.?"
Vasu ka rom rom khil utha..," main lunch ke baad batata hoon... abhi tum jao.. koyi aa jayega.. " kahkar Vasu khada hokar Staffroom se nikal gaya...
Neeru tadap uthi.. Tour toh jab jayega tab jayega.. abhi kya karoon.. usne angdayi lekar janghon ke beech apni panty ko theek kiya aur murjhayi huyi si apni class mein aa gayi... " Sneha! Main 5 minute mein ghar ke bahar miloonga.. tum taiyaar ho na.. Jaan?" Vicky ne Sneha ko fone par kaha...
" haan.. main taiyaar hoon.. Aa jao!" Sneha ne khud ko niyati ka saamna karne ke liye taiyaar kar liya tha.. waise bhi ab uske paas uski jindagi ke alawa khone ko tha hi kya jo wo mana karti.. aur uss jindagi ka bhi ab kya faayda?
wah pahle hi taiyaar ho chuki thi.. Viru samet sabko usne bata diya tha.. wah ja rahi hai; Vicky ke sath..
Jaise hi wah bahar nikli, Raj ne usko toka," abhi mat jao na Sneha! pls.. ek hafte ki hi toh baat hai.. maan bhi jao!"
" nahi bhaiya.. mujhe jana padega.. Vicky.. Mohan ko meri jarurat hai.. main nahi gayi toh shayad uska sapna 'sapna' hi rah jayega..." Apni aankhon ki nami ko rumaal se pounchhte huye wah boli...," Viru kahan hai?"
"pata nahi.. tum nahi mani toh wo naraj hokar kahin chala gaya.. maine usko roka bhi tha.. par wo nahi mana.. langdate huye gaya hai.. pata nahi kahan.." Raj ko laga ab usko rokne ka koyi faayda bhi nahi.. uski geeli aankhon mein dridhta saaf jhalak rahi thi.. jane ki.. Mohan ke sath..
"wo kahan hai?" Sneha ne apne murjhaye chehre par kshanik muskurahat laate huye poochha.. Raj samajh gaya.. wo kiski baat kar rahi hai..
"abhi bulata hoon.." Raj dusre kamre mein gaya aur ladkiyon mein se Priya ka hath pakad laya..
" tum maan toh rahi nahi ho.. mera tumse baat karne ka dil nahi karta..." Priya ne aate hi apna munh banaya....
Sneha ne uska hath pakad liya.. barbas hi uske aansoo chhalak uthi..," Raj ka hath mat chhodna Priya.. Pahla Pyar aksar kho jata hai.. aur fir aankhein tamaam umra bheed mein usko khojti rahti hain.. (am I right?) ...museebatein aayengi.. par tum dono milkar saamna karna... Bhagwan sachche prem ka sath hamesha dete hain.." Sneha ke liye kahte huye apne aapko sambhalna mushkil ho gaya.. rote huye hi usne baat poori ki,"... Aisa suna hai maine!"
"par tum ro kyun rahi ho Sneha.. subah se hi tum ro rahi ho.. baat kya hai..?" Priya ne Sneha ko pyar ka gurumantra dete huye subakte dekh poochha..
"kuchh nahi.. inka kya hai.. ye toh hamesha sath dete hain.. tanhayi ki agni jab tadap bankar hamein kachotne lagti hai toh yahi toh thandak dete hain.. Aansoo!." Sneha ne unhe pouchhte huye kaha..," dhyan rakhna ek doosre ka.. har koyi Mohan nahi hota.." kahte huye wah Priya ke gale lagkar rone lagi... Priya ki aankhon se bhi aansoo chhalak uthhe..
" Sneha.. hamein tumhare sath ki jarurat padegi.. Mohan ko bol dena.. hamari madad kare.. ab yahan hum kab tak rahenge..?" Priya ne bhi usko apni chhati se chipka liya..
" tabhi bahar Gadi ka horn sunayi diya.. Sneha bina kisi aur se baat kiye jaldi se bahar nikal gayi.. bahar mohan uska intzaar kar raha tha.. 'apna' sapna sakar karne ke liye.... Sneha ne Gadi ki khidki kholi aur agli seat par jakar baith gayi.. apne aakhri safar ke liye
"baat kya hai Sneha? tumhara mood theek nahi lag raha.. koi problem hai kya?" Vicky ne jhijhakte huye Sneha se poochha.. halanki Sneha ne uske paas aane se pahle apne aapko sambhal liya tha.. aur Gadi mein baithte hi muskurakar vicky ki aur dekha bhi tha.. par aaj uski muskurahat mein wo kashish nahi thi.. wo niralapan nahi tha.. aur.. fir chor ki dadhi mein tinka hota hi hai.. Vicky ko shak tha hi.. kahin Sneha 'kuchh' jaan toh nahi gayi hai..
"Nahi.. kuchh nahi.. hum ab kahan ja rahe hain..?" Sneha ne baat palat'te huye poochha...
" kahan ja rahe hain matlab? kahin toh jayenge hi.. pyar nahi karna kya? tum toh tadap rahi thi mere liye!" Vicky ne uske balon mein hath ferte huye kaha...
'pyar karna kisi ke hath mein toh nahi hota na Mohan.. wo toh bus ho jata hai.. jaise mujhe ho gaya.. tumse.. warna kisne socha tha.... Mohan! tumhe main pyari to lagti hoon na...?" Sneha ne vicky se poochha..
"yye tum aaj kaisi baatein kar rahi ho.. kya ho gaya hai tumhe?" vicky ke antarman ne usko dhikkara aur usne Sneha ke haathon mein lahra raha apna hath wapas kheench liya...
"kuchh nahi.. Aaj mummy ki badi yaad aa rahi hai.. !" Sneha recording ko yaad karte hi bhawnao mein bahkar bilakh padi.. Vicky se raha na gaya.. usne gadi side mein lagakar Sneha ka chehra apne hathon mein le liya.. Sneha ka ek ek aansoo laave ki tarah uske dil par tapak raha tha.. badi mushkil sthiti thi.. vicky ke liye," kya baat hai.. tum aaj... tum toh kah rahi thi.. tumne mummy ko kabhi dekha hi nahi.. fir aaj yun achanak mummy kaise yaad aa gayi.....?"
" haan.. Dekha nahi hai kabhi.. par aaj mahsoos ho raha hai.. wo bhi kitni bebas rahi hongi.. kitni tadpi hongi wo.. ye kab tak chalega vicky.. nari kab tak purush ke julmon ka shikar hoti rahegi.. kab tak purush usko apni hasraton aur sapno ko poora karne ka 'sadhan' maanta rahega.. Ardhangini hone ka haq kya hamein kabhi nahi mil payega? hum kya aise hi duniya mein aati hain.. nangi karke jangli kutton ke saamne daalne ke liye..?" Sneha ko 'wo' baatein lagatar ghutan bankar usko khaye ja rahi thi... aakhir usne nikal hi di.. vicky ko vicky kahkar usne Vicky ko hakka bakka kar diya.. aakhir usko bhi haq tha.. jaane se pahle jaan'ne ka.. ki uske sath aisa kyun hua.. yahi uski aakhiri ichchha thi...
Vicky ko jaise sanp soongh gaya.. poori teevrata dikhate huye usne Gadi ko lock kar diya.. taki Sneha wahan se bachkar bhag na sake..
" Mujhe bhagna hota toh main tumhare sath aati hi kyun?" Sneha ke chehre par ab sukoon jhalak raha tha... Vicky ko ye batakar ki wo uski fitrat jaan chuki hai..
" Hummmm.. toh tumhe sab kuchh pata lag gaya.." Vicky ne lambi saans chhodte huye kaha...
"nahi.. Sab kuchh kahan pata laga.. mujhe abhi tak ye pata nahi laga hai ki main tumhe pahchan kyun nahi payi.. tumhari aankhon mein chhipi waasna ko main pyar kaise samajh baithi.. aur ye bhi main kabhi nahi jaan paaungi ki sab kuchh jaan lene ke baad bhi tumhare paas kyun chali aayi... Marne ke liye..!" Sneha ne vicky ko jhakjhor kar rakh diya...
" Dekho Sneha.. iske liye main jimmedar nahi hoon.. apne ye sare sawaal apne baap se karna.. jisne apni biwi ke sath aisa kiya.. aur ab tumhare sath karne ki soch raha hai...! maine tumse kabhi pyar kiya hi nahi.. main pyar vyar ko nahi maanta.. mera lakshya Multiplex hasil karna tha.. aur wo tumhe unko sonp dene ke baad hi poora ho sakta hai..." Vicky ne khud ko glani se bachane ki koshish ki...
" theek hi toh hai.. jab wo aisa kar sakte hain toh tumse kya ummeed karoon..? ho toh tum bhi mard hi aakhir... meri ek aakhiri ichchha poori karoge Vicky...?" Sneha ne uski aankhon mein aankhein daal kar kaha...
" Bolo!" Vicky ne steering par sir rakh liya.. wo Sneha se najrein milate huye katra raha tha...
Sneha ki aankhon se jaise sookhe huye aansuon ki dhara bah nikli...," pata hai vicky.. jab main tumhe mohan samajhti thi.. apna Mohan maanti thi..," Sneha subakne lagi.. par usne bolna jari rakha," tab maine... ek sapna dekha tha.. har ladki ki tarah laal jode mein lipati huyi.... suhaag ki sez par tumhara intjaar karne ka.. hamesha ke liye tumhari ho jane ka.. tumhare liye khana banane ka.. tumse roothne ka.. tumhe mana'ne ka.. hamare bachche ko janam dene ka.. usko dular kar rakhne ka.. tumhare gusse se usko bachakar apne aanchal mein lapet kar chhupa lene ka.. aur.. usko.. kabhi meri tarah akela nahi hone dene ka.. usko kabhi hostel na bhejne ka....." kahte huye Sneha bilakh bilakh kar rone lagi.. Vicky jaisa nisthur bhi uski baatein sunkar andar tak hil gaya..," sambhalo Sneha khud ko.. main koshish karoonga tumhare sath aisa na ho.. multiplex mil jaane ke baad mein tumhe bachane ki koshish karunga.. waise bhi tumhare baap ne kaha tha.. ki uske bahar aane se pahle tumhare sath kuchh na karein.. main wada nahi karta.. par koshish jaroor karoonga.. tumhe bachane ki.."
"kyun koshish karoge tum.. kyun...? taki fir se kisi swarth ke liye mera istemaal kar sako.. na.. mujhe bachane ki koshish mat karna.. main toh pahle hi mar chuki hoon.. mujhe baar baar marne ke liye mat chhodo pls.." Sneha ne vicky ke saamne hath jod liye.....
Vicky ke paas koyi jawaab nahi tha.. Sneha ke kisi sawaal ka.. achanak vicky ka fone baj utha.. baanke ka fone tha," haan.. main aa raha hoon.. aadha ghanta lagega.." kahkar vicky ne fone kata aur Gadi start karke chal diya....... Lunch mein Anjali ne aate hi ladkiyon se poochha," Sneha kahan gayi.. uska mood theek huaa ki nahi..?"
"wo toh chali bhi gayi mummy! Mohan aaya tha usko lene.." Gouri ne khadi hote huye kaha.. Sabko darr tha.. ab tour shayad mushkil hai.. sabhi ke munh pichke huye the.. khas tour se Priya aur Riya ke.. unhe wahan se jana pad gaya toh..
"kyaaa??? oh my God! mujhe college nahi jana chahiye tha.. ab main kya karoon..?" badbadate huye anjali ne fone nikal liya aur Shamsher ke paas fone milaya
"haan.. Anjali.. main sham tak pahunch jaaunga.. tour ki taiyaari kar li hai na?" Shamsher ne fone uthate hi kaha...
"wwo.. Sneha chali gayi.. Vicky ke sath.." Anjali ne uski baat par dhyan na dete huye kaha..
"whhat??? usko pata nahi tha kya..? usko bataya nahi tha kya? ye kya ho gaya..?" shamsher vichlit sa ho gaya...
"mujhe nahi pata.. mere khayal se pata chal gaya tha usko.. subah se ro rahi thi..."
Shamsher ne bina ek pal bhi gunwaye Tough ke paas fone lagaya," Sneha chali gayi.. vicky ke sath.. tumne usko bataya kyun nahi..?"
"kya???" lagbhag waisa hi dhakka tough ko bhi laga," par maine toh usko recording tak suna di thi.. fir wo gayi kyun?"
" ab ye baat sochne ka waqt nahi hai.. hamein jaldi hi kuchh karna padega...!" Shamsher ki taraf se aawaj aayi...
" par chinta karne ki baat nahi hai bhai.. Murari ne apne logon ko uske bahar aane tak usko kuchh nahi karne ko kaha hai.. main sambhal loonga.. sala Murari toh apne paas hi hai na.. main sambhal loonga... par vicky ne ye theek nahi kiya bhai.. wo toh pagal ho gaya hai.. waise Murari ne jo location deal ke liye tay ki hai.. main wahan security officer bhej deta hoon.. khud bhi chala jaaunga.. Recording mein Murari ne khol kar bataya tha.. main nikal raha hoon.." kahkar tough ne fone kata aur jaldi se bahar nikal gaya.....
-----------------------
Lunch ke baad mayus anjali jab office louti toh Vasu pahle se hi uska intzaar kar raha tha..
"Shrimati ji.. maine aapki salaah par vichar kiya tha.. bura nahi hai.. main sath chalne ko taiyaar hoon.. kahiye kab ka karyakram rakhein..?"
" Nahi Vasu ji.. maine bhi aapki baat par gour farmaya tha.. aap sahi kah rahe the.. iss waqt tour par jana theek nahi.. maine programme cancel kar diya hai.." Anjali ne kursi par baithte hi apna matha pakar liya....
"Parantu ye toh koyi baat nahi huyi.. maine lakh sochne ke baad apna mann banaya.. aur ab jabki main jane ka ichchhuk hoon toh aap mana kar rahi hain.. aapko chalna chahiye.. aur nahi toh aap bachchon se hi poochh kar dekh lo.. maine bhi ek aadh ladki se iss baare mein vichar kiya tha.. wo chalne ko taiyaar hain.. aap kahein toh main bachchon se parchiyan dalwa leta hoon.. jaisa bahumat kahe.. boliye?" bechare vasu par toh gaaz si gir padi tour cancel hone ki baat sunte hi... jaane kitne armaan sanjo liye the usne ghante bhar mein hi....

[liljohn]

"Dekhiye vasu ji.. tour mumkin nahi hai.. aap samajhne ki koshish karein... aur mere sir mein dard hai.. aap kripaya mujhe akela chhod dein..." Anjali tunak si padi thi...
Vasu bina kuchh bole munh fulakar wahan se nikal gaya.. usne class nahi li.. jate huye usne chhoti class ki ek ladki ko bulaya aur usko Neeru ko math ki kitab lekar staffroom mein bhej dene ko bol kar khud wahin chala gaya...
"ji Sir.. Aapne bulaya?" kahte huye Neeru seedhi staffroom mein ghus gayi.. usne andar aane ki ijajat tak nahi maangi.. wo khili huyi thi.. jate hi usne apni math ki kitab ko table par patka aur vasu ki aur munh karke khadi ho gayi...," maine poochh liya hai Sir.. gharwalon se.. main bhi chaloongi tour par... "
Vasu bechaini se khada hokar idhar udhar tahlne laga," Saali sari duniya prem ki dushman hai..! Log jodiyan bante dekh hi nahi sakte.. sabko apni apni padi hai.. batao.. agar chal padte toh kounsa pahad toot padna tha.... ?" Vasu badbada raha tha.. Neeru ko bus ek hi baat dhang se sunayi di.. ' Sari duniya prem ki dushman hai'
"kya Sir?" Neeru ne hichkichate huye poochha..
" arey kya kya?" Vasu ne Neeru ke paas aakar usko kandhon par se pakad liya.. uska gussa uski pakad ki majbooti mein jhalak raha tha.. Neeru andar tak hil gayi.. neeche tak.. Vasu ne aawesh mein bakna jari rakha," wo kya samajhte hain..? agar hum ghoomne nahi gaye toh kya hum pyar karna chhod denge.. kya hum yahan pyar nahi kar sakte.. nahi nahi.. ye toh vidyalay hai.." Vasu ne apne hath hata liye," kya tum mere paas ghar nahi aa sakti.. kya main chori chhipe Raat ko deewarein kood kar tumhare ghar nahi aa sakta.. kya hamara pyar itna kamjor hai ki...."
Vasu jane kya kya bak raha tha.. mano bhang kha rakhi ho.. Neeru hairan thi.. abhi tak jo uss'se baat karte huye hichkicha raha tha.. ab deewarein koodne ki baat kar raha hai.. jane kitne rang the uske Vasu ke.. wo toh aaj tak usko samajh hi nahi payi thi...
Par wo man hi man khil uthi thi.. Jo wo bol dena chahti thi.. uski jarurat hi na padi.. sab kuchh akele vasu ne hi bol diya
"toh kya Sir.. hum tour par nahi ja rahe..?" Neeru ne lagataar anaap shanaap bol rahe vasu ko khud bolkar chup kiya...
" nahi.. par tum chinta mat karo.. main tumhare ghar aaunga.. aaj raat ko.. aa jaaun na?"
Neeru se koyi jawaab dete hi na bana.. wah sharma gayi.. kitaabein uthayi aur bahar bhag gayi.. par jawaab toh Vasu ko mil hi gaya tha.. uski muskurahat mein!
Vicky chupchap Sneha ko lekar apni manjil ki aur chalta ja raha tha.. uska man usko kachot raha tha.. kya wah sahi kar raha hai? haan bhi aur nahi bhi.. uske antarman mein virodhabhas goonj raha tha.. Vicky ke paas sab kuchh tha.. par wo manjil par pahunch kar sustaane walon mein se nahi tha.. uska lakshya aur aagey.. fir aur aagey badhte jana tha.. Jaankaron ki rai mein multiplex rupaiyon ki khan tha.. kahne ko net income sirf 2 se 2.5 lakh rupaiye mahina par vastavikta iss-se kafi alag thi.. pahle jab casino par ban nahi tha to uska malik shahar ka sabse bada ameer tha.. karan undergroung floor par casino ki aad mein hone wale har tarah ke dhandhe.. karodon rupaiyon ki paidawar har mahine uss 100x100 ki chhoti si jagah se hoti thi... par pichhli sarkar ne sab kuchh band karwa diya aur Multiplex ka malik bhari dabav mein aa gaya.. par ab.. ab andar ki khabar ye thi ki agli sarkaar aate hi usko fir se chalu karne ja rahi hai.. aur yahi karan tha ki Murari aur Vicky mein usko lekar talwaarein khinchi huyi thi.. aur chakachoundh kar dene wale rupaiyon ki khanak ke saamne kisi ke jajbaat kuchh mayne nahi rakhte the.. kuchh bhi nahi...
Par Sneha iska shikar kyun bani? kash wah shuru mein hi Sneha ko sab sach bata deta.. kum se kum wo sapne toh na paalti.. usko aaj khud ki hi najron mein yun jaleel toh na hona padta.. Jo sapne Sneha ne dekhe hain.. khud usko bhi toh kabhi na kabhi dekhne hain... iss'se jyada pyar usko karne wali dusri koyi ladki duniya mein usko mil sakegi.. sab kuchh pata chalne ke baad bhi aa gayi..
" Kamaal hai.. Pyar karne wale log kitne beparwah hote hain.. kitne pagal.." Vicky ne ek lumbi saans chhodte huye Sneha ki aur dekha.. uske chehre par koyi bhav nahi tha..
Sneha ne koyi jawaab nahi diya.. par garv se apna sir utha liya.. mano usko apne pagalpan par garv ho.. pyar ko sanjeedagi se samajhne ka ghamand!
" tum kisi aakhiri ichchha ki baat kar rahi thi.. wahi bata do!" khisiyaye huye se vicky ne fir Sneha ko toka...
" tum poori nahi karoge vicky..tum pyar ko samajhte hi nahi ho.. jane do..!" Sneha ne saamne dekhte huye hi jawaab diya...
"kahkar toh dekho! kya pata kar bhi doon?" Vicky ne fir poochhne ki jurrat ki..
"Maine Raj aur Priya dono se baat ki thi.. Dono ek dusre se behad pyar karte hain.. jaise main tumhe kar baithi thi.. bina soche samjhe.. bina jane.. pagal thi na.. tumhare liye.. "
"ye Priya koun hai?" Vicky ne usko toka..
" unke Saamne hi rahti hai.. dono ek hi class mein padhte hain.. ek hi college mein.. wo bhi uske sath hi bhag kar Loharu aa gayi hai.. pata nahi unka kya hoga? Priya ne mujhse kaha tha.." Sneha ne apne aapko jajbaat mein bahne se rokne ki lakh koshish ki par apne aapko subakne se na rok payi.. par wah bolti rahi.." Priya ne kaha tha.. apne Mohan se kahna hamari madad kare.. wo hamara intzaar karenge.. taki hum wapas jakar unki madad kar sakein.. meri tarah wo bhi nadan hain.. agar unke saamne koyi rukawat aayi.. toh mujhe darr hai.. wo bikhar jayenge... main chahti hoon ki tum unki madad karo..!" Sneha ne apni baat poori ki....
"theek hai.. main kar doonga.. par karna kya hai?" Vicky ne baat aage badhane ki koshish ki....
" unko jagah deni hai.. jahan par wo rah sakein.. unko raasta dikhana hai.. nahi Raasta mat dikhana.. wo 'pyar' ko tumse kahin behtar samajhte hain.. ek baat aur maanoge...?" Sneha ne apne aansoo pouchhe...
" Bolo..."
" Unhe kabhi mat batana ki tumne mujhe chhod diya.. mere pyar ki touheen hogi.. unke saamne mein harpal tumhari hi baat karti rahi.. Mohan aisa hai.. Mohan waisa hai..mohan ne mere liye ye kiya.. wo kiya.. wo tumhari bahut ijjat karte hain.. tumhe aadarsh maan'ne lagey hain apna.. agar unko ye sab pata lag gaya toh wo 'pyar' ko hi galat samajhne lagenge.. ek dusre par se bhi visvas uth jayega unka.. aur main nahi chahti ki dil hamesha haare.. aur Dimag hamesha jeete!...
achanak vicky ne kachche raaste par gadi mod di.. wahan 3 gaadiyan khadi thi.. jo unke pichhe chal padi..
" inko sonp dogey mujhe?" Sneha ne vichlit hote huye kaha.. usko laga.. vicky se juda hone ka time aa gaya hai.. mayusi aur majboori uske haseen chehre par achanak bikhar gayi...
" Nahi.. ye apne aadmi hain.. Meri protection ke liye sath aaye hain.. wo bhi poori taiyari ke sath aaye honge.." Vicky ne kaha...
" ek baat bataaoon vicky.. tumhe yaad hai jab hostel se nikalne ke baad unn logon ne hamari gadi rukwayi thi.. aur mujhe le jane ki koshish kar rahe the.. tab mujhe tumse pyar nahi tha.. main apni jaan bachane ke liye tumhare seene se ja chipki thi.. uss waqt main jeena chahti thi.. apne liye... aur jab tumne ek hath se mujhe apne andar samet kar uss aadmi ke munh par ghoonsa mara tha.. wo meri jindagi ka sabse haseen pal tha.. usi ek pal mein mujhe tumse pyar ho gaya.. usi ek pal mein main tumko apna maan baithi.. usi ek pal main mujhe ahsaas hua tha ki pyar kya hota hai.. dusre ke liye jeena kya hota hai.. aur main tumhare liye jeene lagi thi... mujhe nahi pata tha wo sab natak tha.." kahte hi Sneha Vicky ki chhati se chipak gayi aur bachchon ki tarah se rona shuru kar diya.. Vicky ka hath apne aap hi uth kar Sneha ki kamar par chala gaya.. aur usko sakhti se apni chhati mein dubka liya...
" Mujhe wahi maar dena Vicky.. paise lete hi.. unko bhi toh mujhe maarna hi hai.. main tumhe yaad karke tadapna nahi chahti.. main jeena nahi chahti vicky.. please.. mujhe maar dena jaan.. main aur jeekar kya karoongi.. ab har pal mere liye saja ke samaan hoga.. mujhe kyun tadapne ke liye chhod dena chahte ho.. maar dena mujhe.." Sneha ke har shabd mein guhaar thi.. har shabd mein adhuri kasak thi.. uske poora na ho pane ki.. ardhanigini na ban pane ki...
Vicky se kuchh bolte na bana.. ab toh bus ek hi kaam ho sakte tha.. ya toh Sneha ko poori karna.. ya apne armaan..
kareeb 5 minute aur chalne ke baad wo ek teeley ke paas aa gaye.. wahan kuchh aur gadiyan khadi thi... unke theek saamne kuchh doori par Vicky ne gadi rok di.. dusri gadiyan uski barabar mein aa khadi huyi...
Vicky Gadi se neeche utar gaya.. uske utarte hi uski gaadiyon mein se ek aadmi gadi ke bahar Sneha ki bagal mein aa khada hua.. pata nahi kyun?
kuchh aur aadmi nikal kar gadiyon ke paas khade ho gaye.. lagbhag sabhi ke hath mein hathiyar the..
Dusri taraf bhi kuchh aisa hi drishya tha.. farq sirf itna hi tha ki inke paas Sneha thi aur unke paas paisa.. Sneha ki keemat!
Vicky aage gaya toh Udhar se Baanke bhi iss aur chala aaya.. Paas aate hi Baanke ne vicky ki aur hath badhaya.. par vicky ke hath uski jeb se na nikle.. ya pata nahi.. nikal hi nahi paye," paisa?"
" poora hai.. hamare paas aakar dekh sakte ho.. aao!" baanke ne jawaab diya...
Vicky uske sath unki gadiyon ke paas gaya aur dono suitcase check kiye.. hazar hazar ki gaddiyan thi..
" chaho toh gin sakte ho?" Baanke ne batteesi dikhate huye kaha..
" Ek note bhi kum nikla toh tujhe pata hai main kya karoonga...!" Vicky ne rookha sa jawaab diya..
" kaise karna hai..?" Baanke ne adla badli ke baare mein poochha...
" tum apni ek gadi wahan bhej do.. Hum Sneha ko usmein bitha denge.. " vicky ne ek gadi ko apni aur aane ka ishara kiya aur unki gadi uski taraf chal padi..," Idhar hum apni gadi mein Paise rakhenge.. aur udhar tumhari Gadi mein Sneha ko bithayenge.. uske baad humari sabhi gadiyan aage nikal jayengi aur tumhari gadiyan udhar se seedhe... theek hai?" Vicky ne poochha...
"haan.. par main pahle ladki check karoonga...!" Baanke ne kaha...
" aa jao.." Kahkar vicky Sneha ki aur chal pada... Baanke bhi uske pichhe pichhe aane laga...
Sneha gadi mein sahmi huyi si baithi thi.. sab kuchh itna aasan nahi tha jaisa usne socha tha.. dusre aadmi ke sath jane ki kalpana karte huye hi usko darr lag raha tha.. wah toh kahin se bhi apna nahi tha.. jab vicky ne aisa kar diya toh.... wah rone lagi....
Baanke ne ke paas aakar andar jhanaka..," agar main foto sath nahi lata toh kabhi visvas nahi hota ki yah Murari ji ki beti hai.. Dekh na.. kitni garam item hai.. Sasuri rote huye bhi kitni sexy lag rahi hai... nahi?" Baanke ne foto nikal kar Sneha ka chehra milate huye kaha...

[liljohn]

" chupchap apna kaam karo.. jyada bakwas karne ki jarurat nahi hai.. warna yahin thok doonga.. samjha!" Jane kyun Vicky ko Baanke ke Munh se Sneha ke shareer ki kamottejak prashansa sunkar jalan si huyi.. uska tohbda chadh gaya...
"he he he.. isko jara neeche utaro.. Murari ji ne bola tha achchhe se check karna.. Achchhe se..!" Baanke Sneha ko apne sath le jane ko kuchh jyada hi lalayit tha..
Vicky ne khidki khol di," Neeche aao Sneha...!"
" nahi.. main iske sath nahi jaaungi.. mujhe mat bhejo pls.. mujhe yahin maar do.. main nahi jaaungi.." Baanke ka chehra hi kuchh aisa tha.. Sneha apni seat se chipak gayi...
" Neeche aao Sneha.. pls.. natak band karo.. maine tumhe kya kaha tha.." Vicky ne uska hath pakda toh usne apna hath chhuda liya.. ," nahi.. maine kaha na.. main nahi jaaungi.. mujhe maar do.. yahin!" Sneha ki karun chitkar Vicky ke kaleje mein utar gayi.. par usne apne aapko sambhale rakha.. uska kaleja hi kuchh aisa tha..
" isko neeche utaaro.. Vicky ne apne ek aadmi ko ishara kiya aur khud alag hat gaya...
wo aadmi.. Sneha ko kheench kar neeche utaarne ki koshish karne laga.. par jaise Sneha ko toh koyi aur 'hath' apne badan par ab ganwara hi na tha," Door hato.. main utar rahi hoon.." Sneha ne bilakhte huye kaha.. uski aankhon ke saamne andhera sa chhaya hua tha.. jaise mout hi usko pukar rahi ho.. usko vicky ki bagal mein tangi mouser dikhayi di.. aur usko laga usko raasta mil gaya hai.. Wah neeche utar kar vicky ke sath khadi ho gayi.. mouke ke intzaar mein..
"dekh lo jaldi.. mere paas time nahi hai..
" Baanke gour se Sneha ko upar se neeche tak dekhne laga.. uski laar tapak padi.. aankhon mein khoon wasna bankar utar aaya.. Sneha ka har ang itna rasila tha ki kapdon ke upar se hi kisi ki bhi pant geeli ho sakti thi.. Baanke bhool gaya ki wah vicky ke paas khada hai.. ye bhi ki vicky ne usko 2 minute pahle hi chetawani di thi..
Baanke ki najron ko iss tarah apne badan mein chubhta hua dekhna Sneha se sahan
na hua.. wah lajjit hokar vicky se ja lipti aur apne aapko usmein chhupane ki koshish karne lagi.. theek usi tarah jaisa pichhli baar natak ke waqt hua tha..
Vicky ko har pal ye ahsaas ho raha tha ki wah duniya ka sabse gira hua insaan hai.. sabse jyada lalachi aur dhokhebaaj.. usko glani si hone lagi...
" wah Vicky babu.. jawab nahi tera bhi.. maan gaya.. ek baat toh bata.. iska kuchh istemaal bhi kiya ya mere liye kunwari...!"
aagey Baanke ek shabd bhi na bol paya.. uski gardan ghoom gayi.. vicky ka ek jordaar thappad uske gaalon par paanchon ungaliyon ke nishan chhod gaya tha.. gusse se tilmilaye huye Vicky ka hath seedha apni mouser par gaya..
Vicky ko har pal ye ahsaas ho raha tha ki wah duniya ka sabse gira hua insaan hai.. sabse jyada lalachi aur dhokhebaaj.. usko glani si hone lagi...
" wah Vicky babu.. jawab nahi tera bhi.. maan gaya.. ek baat toh bata.. iska kuchh istemaal bhi kiya ya mere liye kunwari...!"
aagey Baanke ek shabd bhi na bol paya.. uski gardan ghoom gayi.. vicky ka ek jordaar thappad uske gaalon par paanchon ungaliyon ke nishan chhod gaya tha.. gusse se tilmilaye huye Vicky ka hath seedha apni mouser par gaya.. aur usne mouser nikal kar Baanke ke seene par taan di.. Vicky ka chehra jillat aur gusse se laal ho chuka tha.. pahli baar jab usne Baanke ko Sneha ko ghoorte dekha tha toh uske dil mein ajeeb si siharan paida huyi thi.. tab usko pahli baar ye ahsaas huaa tha ki Sneha jaane anjaane uski dhadkano mein sama chuki hai.. unke sapne saanjhe ho gaye hain.. Sneha usko apne liye jarurat si lagne lagi thi.. apni ijjat si lagne lagi thi.. 'apni' lagne lagi thi.. par iss baar usko yakeen ho gaya.. wah Sneha ko nahi chhod sakta.. wah uske liye kuchh bhi chhod sakta hai...," unko bolo paisa idhar lekar aa jayein.. main 10 tak ginoonga bus!"
" Nahi.. vicky babu.. pls.. wwo.. mere aadmi nahi hain.. wo Murari ke aadmi hain.. sach mein.. wo kabhi Sneha ko liye bagair paisa nahi denge.. bhagwan ki kasam.. aa.. mm..man toh majak kar raha tha.. ye toh mere liye beti ke jaisi hai.. hai na?.. pls.... mujhe bakhs do..."
Vicky Ginati ginta ja raha tha aur Baanke ki patloon sach mein hi geeli ho gayi.. Bolte bolte... Darr ke marey usne pant ke andar hi 'kar' di..
Vicky 7 tak pahuncha toh Sneha bol padi," Nahi.. aisa mat karo.. main chali jati hoon.. main ja rahi hoon.. " Kahte huye usne khud ko Vicky ke seene se alag karne ki koshish ki par tab tak Vicky ne usko apna hath uski kamar mein daal kar majbooti se apne seene se chipka liya tha.. aur iss baar wo natak nahi tha.. Vicky jud gaya tha.. Sneha ke naam ke sath hamesha ke liye...
9 tak ginte ginte mouser neeche jhuk gaya.. wah Sneha ki najar mein ab aur bura nahi ban'na chahta tha.. usko insaan bankar dikhna chahta tha.. pyar karne wala.. mout baantne wala nahi...
"Bhag jao yahan se.. iss'se pahle ki main apna vichar fir se banaun.. mujhe yahan dikhayi mat dena.." Vicky ne ek ek shabd ko chabate huye kaha...
uske baad toh Baanke ne pichhe mudkar dekha hi nahi... wo sab apni gadiyon mein baithe aur gaadiyan dhool udaati huyi unki aankhon se aujhal ho gayi...
" Chalo wapas!" Vicky ne apne sathiyon se kaha.. unn sabki aankhon mein aansoo aa gaye the.. khushi ke.. Vicky ko pahli baar unhone iss andaj mein dekha tha.. achanak sabne ek dusre ki aankhon mein dekha aur ek sath hawa mein fire kar diya.. Sneha saham kar Vicky ki chhati mein ja dubki..
" aaj tu asli wala leader ban gaya re vicky.. apan tujhe salaam karta hai.." uss aadmi ki aawaj se laga uska koyi kareebi hi hoga.. koyi aur toh iss tarah aalinganbaddh jode ke paas jane ki himmat kar hi nahi sakta tha...
jab sab chale gaye toh Vicky ne Sneha ko apne bahupash se alag karke uski aankhon mein jhanka.. Sneha samajh nahi pa rahi thi ki kya bole!
" Main tumhare layak nahi hoon Sneha.. bulki tumhare sath khada hone layak bhi nahi hoon.. par main tumhari 'wo' ichchha jaroor poori kar ke dikhaunga.. main tumhe galat sabit nahi hone doonga.. Raj aur Priya ko milne se koyi nahi rok sakta.. ..... agar Raj mere jaisa nahi nikla toh... aao tumhe unke paas chhod aaun!" Vicky ne ab tak sahmi khadi Sneha ko Gadi mein bithaya aur fir khud gadi mein baith kar gadi chala di! kafi der yunhi chupchap chalte rahne ke baad Sneha ne najrein ghumakar Vicky ki aur dekha.. Vicky ke haav-bhav bilkul badle huye the.. chehre par Paschatap nahi Garv tha... Glani nahi Sukoon tha..
Sneha ko samajh mein hi na aaya aur baat kahan se shuru kare..." Ab tumhe wo multiplex kaise milega....... Vicky?"
Vicky ne koyi jawaab nahi diya.. bus Sneha ki aur najar bhar kar dekha aur fir seedha ho gaya.. kahna toh chahta tha wah.. bahut kuchh.. kahna chahta tha ki mujhe ahsaas ho gaya hai.. jindagi kya hoti hai.. kahna chahta tha ki.. 'wo' uske liye duniya ki sabse keemati cheej hai.. uske liye wo sabkuchh chhod sakta hai.. agar wo uska hath fir se pakad le toh.. par Vicky ko jab apni Jindagi mein Sneha ki jarurat ka ahsaas hua toh sath hi sath ye bhi ahsaas ho gaya ki wo kya karne ja raha tha.. uske sath.. aur yahi wajah thi ki lakh koshish karne ke baad bhi uske munh se ek shabd tak na nikla...

"Hum kahan ja rahe hain?" Sneha ne usko fir toka...
"Loharu! Mujhe lagta hai wahan tum khush rah sakti ho.. main Shamsher aur tough se baat karoonga.. tumhare liye.. mujhe pata hai.. Sneha.. maine jo kuchh bhi kiya.. wo maafi ke layak nahi.. par pls ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena.. ho sake toh!" Vicky ka gala bhar aaya... apni baat kahne ke douran usne kayi baar Sneha ke chehre ki aur dekha.. par jab jab wah najrein milane ki koshish karti.. wah apni najrein hata leta.. usmein ab Sneha ki najron ka saamna karne ki himmat nahi ho pa rahi thi...
" koi farq nahi padta... mujhe tumse koi gila nahi hai.. meri kismat hi aisi hai!" Sneha ke tanha dil mein abhi bhi Vicky ke aagosh mein sama jane ki tadap thi.. par Vicky ko bhi uss'se pyar ho...; tabhi toh! wah toh aisa kuchh bol hi nahi raha tha.. jaise bus uss par daya karke hi usko wapas le aaya ho...
Dono asamanjhas mein the.. dono ek dusre ke liye tadap rahe the par pahal karne se dono hi katra rahe the.. isi asamanjhas mein wo yunhi aadhi adhoori baat karte huye loharu pahunch gaye...
"arey Dekho.... Shayad Sneha didi wapas aa gayi", khoobsoorat si ladki ko Gadi se utarte dekh Vani khushi se uchhalte huye andar bhagi aur usne sabko chounka diya," Black color ki gadi mein hain.."
Andar baithe sabhi ke murjhaye chehre ummeed ki kiran ke sath hi ajeeb dhang se khil uthe.. sabhi bhagte huye bahar ki aur bhage.. Priya ne khidki mein se hi Sneha ko gadi ke paas khadi hokar Vicky ki aur dekhte dekh liya.. wo khushi se jhoom uthi aur bhagti huyi jakar Sneha ko apni baahon mein bhar liya," Mujhe visvas tha; tum jaroor aaogi.. thank you Sneha.. Thank you!"
Sneha ki aankhein chhalak aayi," Shayad tumhara visvas hi mujhe yahan tak le aaya Priya.. warna.." Gadi ke chalne ki aawaj sunte hi Sneha chounk kar palti.. usne chalte huye Vicky ko kuchh bolne ka soch rakha tha.. par.. wo apne se door ja rahi Gadi ko tab tak vismit netron se taakti rahi jab tak ki wo uski aankhon se aujhal na ho gayi..
"ab toh hum chalenge na didi.. tour par.. ab toh Sneha didi bhi aa gayi hain.." Vani Priya ke hath se lipat gayi.. wo thi hi aisi.. ghanta bhar pahle hi wahan aayi thi.. Disha ke sath.. aur Viru se lekar Riya tak.. sabke dilo dimag par chha chuki thi.. sabko lag raha tha jaise usko wo varshon se jaante hain.. Vani apna dil khol kar jo rakh deti thi...
Ab tak sabhi Sneha ke ird-gird jama ho chuke the..
"thahar ja.. nahi toh kaan ke neeche ek lagaaunga.. usko andar toh aane de pahle.." Virender ne Vani ka hath pakad kar ek aur kheench liya...
" aap itne gussail kyun ho.. ? sab aapse darte hain.. aise bologe toh main aapse baat nahi karoongi haan.." Vani ne apni kalai sahlate huye banawati gusse se viru ki aur dekha aur hans padi.. uski hansi hi toh sabki jaan thi... Viru bina muskuraye na rah saka...

[liljohn]

" ab bhi toh aa gayi.. maine kaha nahi tha? bhai ke bina dil nahi lagega tumhara!" Viru Sneha ki aur Muskurate huye bola..
Sneha kuchh na bol saki.. uske chehre par aise bhav the jaise uska sab kuchh kho gaya ho.. jaise usko visvas hi nahi tha.. Vicky uski duniya mein satrangi sapne sajakar yun bhag jayega.. Ghar ke andar aate huye bhi wah mud kar baar baar pichhe dekhti rahi........ " haan! toh list bana lo, yahan se koun koun tour par ja rahe hain?" Living room mein Sabko apne charon aur liye baithi Gouri ne chillakar sabko chup kiya.. Viru ek taraf leta hua tha aur Raj uske paas baitha hua ladkiyon ki baatein sun raha tha...
" koun koun kya? sabhi chalenge..!" Vani ne apni najrein ghumakar sabhi ke chehre par jhalak aayi sahmati ke bhav dekhe...
"kyun nahi? poore gaanv ko hi utha le chalte hain... kya khayal hai?" Gouri ne Vani ki hansi udate huye kaha...
" main toh yahan baithe sabhi logon ki baat kar rahi thi.. Gaanv ki baat thode hi kar rahi hoon.." Vani ne munh banate huye kaha...
"arey pagli.. hum sab toh chalenge hi.. par 5-7 bachchon se tour thode hi chala jayega.. kuchh idea do.. gaanv ki aur koun koun ladkiyan chal sakti hain... hamare sath.. agle mahine exam hain.. college se jyada chalne ko taiyaar nahi hongi.." Gouri ne samjhate huye kaha..
" Neha!" Disha tapak se boli.. uske jehan mein sabse pahla naam yahi aaya..," wo jaroor chal padegi.. agar main usko kah doongi toh!"
"theek hai.. likh liya.. aur?" Gouri ne wahan baithe sabhi ke naam likh kar agli line mein 'neha' likh diya!
"Divya! wo toh pakka chal padegi.. likh lo!" ye Vani ki aawaj thi..
" OK!"
" Nisha!" Gouri ne yaad karte huye naam liya..
" Na! wo nahi chal sakti.. uski toh shadi hai.. agle hafte! " Disha ne Gouri ko naam likhne se rok diya...
"sach? kiske sath?" Gouri ne chahakte huye poochha.. Nisha ko Sanjay ka khayal ho aaya.. kitna bewafa nikla wo?
"Koyi bada businessman hai.. Hisar se.. suna hai love marriage hai.. ladke walon ne khud hath maanga hai.."
" chhodo na.. aur naam yaad karo!" Vani ne Disha ke munh par hath rakhte huye kaha..," Sarita!" Vani ko yunhi yaad aa gaya.. Divya se Rakesh aur uss'se Sarita!
" chal na! kiska naam le rahi hai.. tour ka maja kharab karwayegi kya? " Disha ne bigate huye kaha..
" Mat le chalo! mujhe kya hai? Maine toh naam yaad dilaya tha bus!" Vani ne munh banaya...
" likh lete hain yaar.. waise hi bachche kum pad rahe hain.. agar aur ladkiyan jaane ko taiyaar ho gayi toh naam kaat denge.. ismein kya hai!" Gouri ne samjhate huye kaha...
"chalo.. likh lo! waise meri koyi dushman bhi nahi hai wo.. bus.. nature ki achchhi nahi hai.." Disha ne safayi dete huye kaha..
Gouri ne naam likh liya..
" Seema didi.. wo bhi toh chal sakti hain..?" Vani ne ek aur naam yaad dilaya..
" nahi.. wo nahi chalengi.. wo toh pregnant hain.." Disha ne ye naam bhi nakar diya..
" Poochh toh lo didi.. kya pata chal padein!" Vani ne jor dekar kaha..
" Mujhe pata hai chhutaki.. wo nahi chalengi.. tu khamkha.. behas kyun kar rahi hai..?"
" Mansi!.. haan.. Mansi.. likh lo didi.. inki mat suno! ye toh 'bus' ko bharne hi nahi dengi wo pakka chalegi.. mere kahte hi!" Vani ek baar Gouri ki aur muskurayi aur fir Disha ki aur ghoora.. kahin wo mana na kar de.. Disha muskurane lagi.. Mansi ke sath hi usko manu ka khayal aa gaya tha...
" likh liya.. aur bolo.." Gouri ne naam likhte huye kaha..
"Kitne ho gaye didi..?" Vani ne copy mein jhankte huye poochha...
"Dekho.. Disha.. Sneha.. Main.. Priya.. Riya.. Vani.. Raj.. Virender... Neha.. Divya.. Sarita.. Mansi.. aur Mummy... Jija ji.. Vasu Sir.. " Gouri ne aakhiri teeno naam list mein jodte huye kaha..
" Aur Sunil Sir?" Vani ne yaad dilaya..
" Nahi.. Mummy ne poochha tha.. wo nahi chal payenge..!" Gouri ne bataya...
Vani jaane kab se kuchh soch rahi thi..," ladkiyan 11 aur ladke sirf 4!"
par kisi ne bechari ki baat par dhyan nahi diya.. usne Disha ki aur Dekha," Didi!"
" Hummmm!" Disha kuchh sochti huyi boli...
Vani ko kuchh kahte na bana.. uske dil ki baat toh Disha ko soch leni chahiye thi...
" Bol!" Disha ne usko toka...
" Kuchh nahi!" Vani ne mayoos hote huye kaha...
"Vicky nahi chal raha kya?" Priya aur Riya Sneha ko dekhte huye achanak ek sath bol padi..
Sneha kuchh na boli.. wo aise hi baithi rahi.. gumsum si...
" Didi! ek minute idhar aana...!" Vani ne khadi hote huye Disha ka hath kheencha..
Disha uthkar uske sath bahar aa gayi," kya?" uski aankhon mein sharaarat si thi.. Shayad wo samajh rahi thi ki Vani kya kahna chahti hai..
" agar Mansi ne mana kar diya toh..?" Vani ne uski aankhon mein dekhte huye poochha...
"par tu hi toh kah rahi thi.. wo chal padegi.. tu fone kar le usko.." Disha anjaan bani rahi..
" nahi.. matlab... aap samajhti kyun nahi.. agar usne mana kar diya toh..?" Vani kuchh aur bhi kahna chahti thi..
" Toh kya?"
" jaise agar uske ghar walon ne agar ye kah diya ki hum isko akeli nahi bhejenge.. toh..?" Vani ne hulka sa ishara diya...
" toh kya? hum jabardasti thode hi le ja sakte hain.. nahi le jayenge.. naam kaat denge.. aur kya?" ab Disha ko ismein koyi shak nahi tha ki Vani ghumafira kar Manu ko sath le chalne ko kah rahi hai..
Vani pair patakti huyi Andar aa gayi..," Mujhe nahi chalna tour par.. main nahi ja rahi.. mera naam kaat do" kahkar Vani Viru ke bed ke paas dale huye sofe par aakar pasar gayi...
Disha bhi uske peechhe peechhe hanste huye andar aa gayi..
" Ab kya problem ho gayi chhammak chhalo!" Viru ne hanste huye Vani ko chheda...
" Aap bhi mat jao tour par.. main bhi nahi ja rahi.. koyi maja nahi aayega tour par.. sab bore hi hone hain.. mujhe pata hai.." Vani ne aur bhi logon ko protest mein shamil karne ki koshish ki..
" Theek hai.. main bhi nahi ja raha.. mujhe toh waise bhi pair mein dard hai.. main kya karoonga jakar..? ghooma toh waise bhi nahi jana hai mujhse!" Viru ne uske Sur mein sur milaya...
Riya ne palat kar vani se hath mila rahe Viru ko dekha.. seene mein anjani si jalan huyi," tumhare liye strecher le chalenge.. main ghumati rahungi.. iss tooti huyi taang ko.."
" pahle khud toh dhang se chalna seekh le.. mujhe ghumayegi..!" Viru ne eent ka jawaab patthar se diya..
" haaaaaaa.. mujhe chalna nahi aata..! kisne bola hai..?" Riya ne viru ko ghoorte huye poochha..
" Maine dekha hai.. Mardon ki tarah se chalti hai tu.. ladkiyon wali toh tujhmein baat hi nahi hai.. " kahte huye Viru jor jor se hansne laga...
Riya ne munh banaya aur uthkar andar chali gayi..
" kya hai ye.. hum planning kar rahe hain chalne ki aur tum logon ko ladayi soojh rahi hai.. Vani idhar aaja.. kuchh aur naam sochte hain..!" Disha ne Vani ko pyar se pukara..
" Main nahi chal rahi.. Mansi ke bagair main nahi jaaungi..." Vani ne apna chehra dusri aur ghuma liya...
" matlab Mansi nahi chal rahi..? Gouri ne uske naam par pen rakh diya..
" Chalegi na.. ye toh pagal hai.. Vani! main uske gharwalon se baat kar loongi.. wo bhej denge usko.. aaja tu.."
Vani nahi aayi.. tabhi Anjali ghar aa gayi," Arey Sneha.. Oh My God!" tum aa gayi.. tumne bataya kyun nahi..? Maine toh.."
" Mummy.. hum tour ki planning kar rahe hain.. college se kitne naam huye?" Gouri ne Anjali ki baat par gour na karte huye poochha...
" Par tour toh maine cancel kar diya.. 5-7 ladkiyon ne kaha tha ki wo ghar poochh kar jawaab dengi.. par maine fir unko mana hi kar diya.. ab toh kal hi poochhna padega... main ajeet aur Shamsher ko fone kar deti hoon...!" Anjali ko yaad aaya.. wo log bhi chinta kar rahe honge...
" maine kar diya Ma'm" Sneha ne anjali ko bataya...
" oh.. bahut achchha kiya.. par mujhe bhi bata dena chahiye tha na.. main sara din tension mein rahi..." Anjali ne uske paas aakar baithte huye pyar se uske gaalon par hath fera..," mere sath andar aa ek baar..."
Sneha Anjali ke pichhe pichhe bedroom ki aur chal di...
" ye kya kar rahi ho tum?" Anjali jor jor se hunsne lagi.. Riya ko dekhkar Sneha bhi apni hansi ko na rok payi..
" apni chal dekh rahi hoon.. bahar wo 'tooti taang kah raha hai ki mujhe chalna nahi aata.. main ladkon ki tarah chalti hoon.. ladkon ki tarah chalti hoon kya main? aur kya ab main catwalk karoon..?" Riya ne gusse se kaha.. wo Dressing table ke saamne khadi hokar apne madak kulhon ko matkate huye baar baar aage pichhe ho rahi thi...
" Wo toh pagal hai! koun kah sakta hai ki tumhe chalna nahi aata.. ulta tumhari chal toh bahut hi... achchhi hai.. usne dekhi hi kahan hai.. ladkiyon ki chal aaj tak.. kabhi dekhta bhi hai wo ladkiyon ko.. diya hoga toh tumhari hi chal par diya hoga dhyan.. ya tumhe jalane ke liye kah raha hoga.. har ladki tumhari tarah kahan chal pati hai Riya!" Sneha ne sach mein hi uski chal ki tareef ki thi.. Morni jaisi chal kahein toh atisyokti na hogi..... "par mummy, tour college ki taraf se hi jana jaroori hai kya? bewajah bheed ikatthi karne se kya fayda.. ab tak kul milakar 10 se jyada toh hum yahin baithe ho gaye hain.. jisko chalna hoga chal padega.. family tour ki tarah se bhi toh ho sakta hai.." Gouri ne college ki taraf se tour le jane mein aa rahi dikkaton ka hal Anjali ko sujhaya...
" Wo toh theek hai.. par maine Vasu Ji se discuss kiya tha.. mere samjhane par hi wo raji huye the.. aur jab unka mood ban gaya toh maine tour cancel hone ki baat kah di.. ab agar unko nahi le gaye toh wo bura nahi manenge kya?" Anjali ne jawab diya...
"par hum ye thode hi kah rahe hain ki kisi ko lekar hi nahi chalna.. agar wo chalna chahein toh hamein koyi problem nahi hai.. tour jana chahiye bus.. kal hi!" Gouri ne apne kahne ka matlab khol kar samjhaya...
"fir toh unko abhi bolna padega.. kal subah ke liye..!"
" wo main bol doongi ma'm! aap chinta na karein.. kaho toh main abhi jakar bol deti hoon.." Vani ko chhed'te huye usko manane mein lagi Disha ne Anjali se mukhatib hote huye kaha...
" Nahi! mujhe bhi chalna padega.. main hi unko samjhaungi.. ye Vani ko kya ho gaya hai? ye kyun roothi huyi leti hai?" Anjali ne Vani ko baar baar Disha ka hath apne shareer se jhatakte dekh poochha...
" chhoti si baat par jid lagaye padi hai.. kah rahi hai.. ummmhhh" Disha ke munh par tapak se uthkar Vani ne hath rakh diya...," Kuchh nahi hai ma'm.. main toh bus aise hi leti huyi hoon..." kahte huye Vani Disha ka hath pakad kar bahar kheench le gayi...
"aap toh bahut buri hain didi.. kya batane wali thi unko?"
" yahi ki tum ab bachchi nahi rahi.. badi badi baatein sochne lagi ho..!" Disha ne hunste huye usko aur adhik chida diya..
" ismein badi baat kya hai.. main yahi toh bol rahi hoon ki..."
" Mujhe sab pata hai tu kya bol rahi hai.. La! main Mansi ke paas fone milati hoon.. uska no. de.."
" kya kahoge aap?" Vani ne no. dekar utsukta se uski aur dekha...
" yahi ki ghar wale agar usko akeli hamare paas tour par bhej dein toh usko shamsher aate huye apne sath le aayega..." Disha ne fone laga kar kaan se sata liya...
" agar wo mana karein toh mere paas ek idea hai didi..." Vani mayusi se uski aur dekhne lagi..
" chup kar.. fone lag gaya.. Hello! Namaste aunty ji!" fone Mansi ki mummy ne uthaya tha...
" namaste beti.. koun?" udhar se aawaj aayi...
" Ji main Vani ki badi behan bol rahi hoon.. Disha!"
" oho! kaho beta.. tum aaye nahi gaanv se.. yahan college ki chhuttiyan badh gayi hain.. isiliye kya?"
" Kya? chhuttiyan badh gayi hain.. mujhe toh pata hi nahi tha..." Disha ke chehre par sukoon ki lahar doud gayi.. ab Mansi ko chalne ke liye mana uske liye chutkiyon ka khel tha....
" wo aaj hi declare huyi hain na.. Garmi kitni pad rahi hai.... Khair Mansi toh Manu ke sath bajar gayi hai.. Manu ke no. par baat kar lo.. doon kya?"
" Nahi Auntiji.. no. toh hamare paas hai.. par aapse hi baat kar leti hoon.."
"bolo beti.. bolo!"
" wo.. hum 5-7 din ke tour par nainital ja rahe hain Vani kah rahi thi.. Mansi bhi chalti toh bahut maja aata..! aap bhej do na usko!"
" kyun nahi beti.. wo toh ye sunkar bahut hi khush hogi.. ab chhuttiyan bhi pad gayi hain.. garmi se toh bachi rahegi.. kab ja rahe ho?"
" Ji.. aaj Raat ka hi vichar hai.. chalne ka.."
" oho! itni jaldi.. khair.. mujhe toh koyi problem nahi hai.. tum unse baat kar lo!"
" theek hai auntiji.. waise Manu bhi chalna chahe toh? hamare sath ladke bhi ja rahe hain...!"
" Dekh beta.. uska main kuchh kah nahi sakti.. wo toh yahan shahar mein hi bahar kum nikalta hai.. jab dekho.. computer se chipka rahta hai.. jane kya mil gaya hai usko.. kahta rahta hai.. Mujhe ek story ko English mein translate karne ka contract mila hua hai.. pata nahi kya story hai.. Ram jane? andha hokar rahega.. agar maan jaye toh usko bhi sath ghaseet le jana.. meri toh sunta nahi hai.."
"theek hai auntiji.. main uske paas hi fone kar leti hoon.. namaste auntiji.." Disha ne fone kata toh Vani wahan se rafuchakkar ho gayi thi.. Disha ne andar jakar dekha toh wo sharmayi huyi si tirchhi aankhon se usko hi dekh rahi thi.. yahi toh chahti thi wo.. Manu ko sath le jana.. aur jab Disha ne Manu ka jikar kiya toh uss'se wahan khadi na raha gaya.. jane kyun?
"Idhar aa Vani.. jaldi aa!" Disha ne Darwaje par aakar usko pukara..
"kya hai?" Vani ki khushi chhupaye na chhup rahi thi.. wo munh fer kar hansne lagi..
"aa toh.. jaldi.. kaam hai..!" kahkar Disha bahar nikal gayi...
Vani ne pichhe se aakar Disha ko apni baahon mein bhar liya.. Disha ne chhudane ki koshish ki par Vani ne na chhoda usko..
" Dekh.. ab jyada machal kar dikhayegi toh main Manu ko nahi bulaungi haan.." Disha ne bandar ghudaki di...

[liljohn]

"Usko bulane ko koun bol raha tha.. maine toh mansi ko bulaya tha bus.." Vani ab bhi Disha ko pakde huye thi..
" toh mana kar doon.. Manu ko!"
" ab kah diya hai toh chalne do.. ya toh pahle hi nahi bolna chahiye tha..." Vani ne usko chhodte huye kaha..
"Abhi kahan bola hai? abhi toh bolna hai.. bolo kya karoon?"
" aap kitni achchhi ho didi..!" Vani ne aur kuchh nahi bola aur andar bhag gayi..
" Muskurati huyi Disha ne Manu ka no. dial kiya... Vasu tour chalne ki baat sunte hi vyakul ho utha.. ab kya karein.. wo log toh aaj rat hi jane wale hain.. Vasu ki manosthiti Ajeeb si ho gayi.. wah toh Neeru ke liye hi tour par jana chah raha tha.. warna toh ye duniya uski dekhi huyi thi.. ab Neeru ko khabar kare bhi toh kaise kare.. Vasu ke dil mein paap tha.. isiliye wah chahkar bhi Anjali ko Neeru ke chalne ke baare mein kuchh bol nahi paya.. Antat: usne khud hi sara jokhim uthane ka faisla kiya..
Anjali ke wahan se nikalte hi usne ek prem pati mein Nainital jane dene ke liye ghar walon ko manane ka sandesh likha aur usko jeb mein daal kar bahar nikal gaya... jaise taise wo poochhta hua Neeru ke ghar ke paas pahunch gaya.. wahan ek aurat nalke par pani bhar rahi thi.. Vasu ghar poochhne ke liye uske paas hi pahunch gaya," Devi Ji, yahan aaspaas ek ladki ka ghar hai.. Neeru ka.. aap kripa karke bata dengi kounsa hai..?"
jhuk kar pani bhar rahi aurat tapak se seedhi khadi huyi aur Vasu ko upar se neeche tak ghoora," re, koun se tu? chhori ke bare mein kyun poochh raha se?"
Vasu uss aurat ke bolne ka lehja sunkar ghabra gaya," Ji.. aap baat ko anyatha na lein.. main Vasu hoon.. Vasu shastri!"
" shastri vastri hoga apne ghar mein.. pahlya ye bata kaam ke hai tanne ladki se? sharam nahi aandi iss tariyan ladki ka ghar poochhti haan.." ( pahle ye bata kaam kya hai ladki se.. sharam nahi aati iss tarah ladki ka ghar poochhte huye ), aurat tamtama gayi thi..
" Ji.. Mujhe kanya se koyi kaam nahi.. Kanya ki mata ji se kaam hai.. aap kripa karke ghar bata dein bus!" Vasu vichlit hote huye bola...
" haye.. mere te ke kaam hogya tann (oho! mujhse kya kaam ho gaya aapko)..tu hai koun bhai " aurat ka mijaj kuchh naram pada...
Vasu ko na nigalte bana na ugalte.. uski halat kharab ho gayi.." tt.. to. kykya aap unki Mata ji hain..?"
" aur ni toh ke ? maa su main Neeru ki.. (aur nahi toh kya? maa hoon main uski) par tu koun se?" Aurat ne jawab diya..," bata ke kaam tha?"
" Jji namastey.. mata ji.. main Vasu.. unka ganit ka addhyapak hoon.." aage usko soojha hi nahi.. jo ye bolta ki kaam kya tha..! aurat ne toh uske munh par tala hi laga diya tha...
" oho.. te master ji.. pahlyan batana tha na.. ( oho.. toh master ji pahle batana chahiye tha na) main tujhe kuchh ulta seedha toh na kahti.. main jaane ke ke soch gi thi.. bata beta.. ke kaam tha..." aurat ka lahja ekdum badal gaya...
" Jji.. wo.. doodh.. nahi.. matlab doodh ke baare mein poochhna tha.. Neeru ne bataya tha ki aapki bhainse doodh deti hain..."
" A Neeru! bahar aayiye ek baar.." aurat ne aawaj lagayi...
Paas ke hi ghar se Neeru bahar nikli aur Vasu ko wahan khade dekhkar buri tarah sakpaka gayi.. man hi man socha," isne toh raat ko aane ko bola tha.. ye toh din mein hi tapak pada...," Namaste Sir!" usne apne aap par kaabu kiya...
" namaste ki bachchi.. tanne master ko jhooth kyun bola.. kounsi bhains doodh deve se aapni.. master ji.. iske munh se galti te likad (nikal) gya hoga.. mhare ghar doodh nahi hota..." Aurat ne aakhiri line Vasu ki aur dekhte huye kahi...
" chalo koyi baat nahi.. main aur kisi se poochh loonga.. Haan Neeru.. wo.. Disha kah rahi thi.. tumhe bata doon.. aaj Raat hi nainital ke liye tour ja raha hai.. tumhe jana ho toh.." Vasu ne jindagi mein pahli baar ishara karne ke liye apni ek aankh ko matkaya.. wo bhi Ladki ki taraf..
Neeru samajh gayi.. aur khush bhi ho gayi..," theek hai sir.. main Disha se milne ja rahi hoon.. abhi.. mummy.. main tour par chali jaaun na?"
" Mujhe na pata ! ye baat apne papa se poochh liye..."
" unhone toh haan kar di thi mummy.. "
" toh fer chali jayiye... mere te kyun poochh ri se....
" Aaja master ji.. Ghar aaja.. doodh toh nahi hai.. par chay toh pila hi devenge...
" Ji.. bahut bahut dhanyawad.. abhi jara jaldi mein hoon.. fir kabhi.." kahkar Vasu, Disha ke ghar chal di Neeru ke pichhe nikal liya..... Gali mein kuchh aage nikal jane ke baad Neeru ne pichhe mudkar dekha.. Vasu uske pichhe pichhe jaise usko soonghta hua aa raha tha.. usne apni chal dheemi kar di aur lagbhag Vasu ke sath sath chalne lagi," Sir! aapko aise nahi aana chahiye tha.. Maa ko shak ho jata toh?" Neeru ne dayein bayein dekhte huye Vasu se kaha...
" Toh kya karta? aaj Rat wo tour par nikal jate aur hum yahin rah jate.." Vasu ne bhi bina usko dekhe; chalte chalte jawab diya..
"hum kyun? aap toh chale hi jate.." Neeru ne ithlate huye apne balon ko kaano se pichhe kiya aur Vasu ki aur houle se Muskurayi...
"Tumhare bina main kya karta wahan?" Vasu ne jawab diya...
Neeru par poori masti chhayi huyi thi.. Vasu ko iss tarah apne liye machalte dekh wo itra gayi," aur.. mere Sath kya karenge wahan?"
"kkkuchh nahi.. main kya karoonga? mmmaine kabhi kuchh kiya hai kya?" Vasu chalte huye Neeru ke madak nitambon ki uthapatak mein khoya hua tha ki Neeru ke iss dwiarthi sawaal ne usko hadbadahat mein daal diya..
Neeru apni hansi nahi rok payi.. Vasu ka ye bholapan hi toh Neeru ko le dooba tha.. warna toh wo kab ki 'jawan' ho chuki hoti..
" ek baat kahoon..?" Vasu ne mouka dekhkar kaha...
" Ji.. kahiye.." Neeru ne chalte huye sarak gayi chunni ko theek karte huye kaha..
" nahi.. kuchh nahi.. tum chalogi na?"
" Haan.. main toh pakka chaloongi.. par aur koun koun ja rahe hain..?" Neeru ne sawal kiya...
" Mujhe toh bus itna pata hai ki tum ja rahi ho.. aur main ja raha hoon.. baki tum unhi se poochh lena.. achchha.. chalne ka samay achchi tarah yaad rakhna aur time se pahle pahunch jana.. bhool mat jana..!" Vasu bechaini se bola, ghar aa gaya tha...
" Ji.." Neeru ne ek baar sarsari nigah Vasu ke pyare chehre par dali aur usne apni chal tej kar di..
-----------------------------
Sham ke kareeb 7 baj chuke the... sab apne apne saman ki packing mein lage the..
" Jiju kab aa rahe hain didi.." Vani se sabra nahi ho pa raha tha.. uska Manu jo uske sath aane wala tha..
" aane hi wale honge.. kah rahe the 10 minute ka rasta aur..." Disha ko Vani ne baat bhi poori na karne di..
" aa gaye... kahte huye wah darwaje ki aur bhagi.. par achanak hi darwaje se kuchh pahle thithak kar ruk gayi.. wapas bhag kar aaine ke saamne gayi aur khud ko upar se neeche tak dekha... pyar aisa hi hota hai.. warna Vani ki taaraf koyi aaina kya karta.. wah toh khud darpan thi.. soundarya ka.. santust hone par wah bahar ki aur bhagi aur darwaje par jakar mayusi se khadi ho gayi," wwo.. kahan hai?"
Shamsher ne uske paas aate huye pyar se uske Gaalon par thapki di," Wo Koun Vani?"
" Wwwo.. wo.. Manasi!" Vani apni juban fisalne se muskil se rok payi..
" Isne toh yahi bataya tha ki yahi Manasi hai.. Ye Manasi nahi hai kya?" Shamsher ne hanste huye Vani ke Samne hi khadi Manasi ki aur ishara karte huye kaha...
" oh.. haan.. mmujhe dikhayi nahi di thi..!" Vani ne jhenpte huye Manasi ko bujhe man se gale lagaya aur andar aa gayi.. achanak hi uska sara josh thanda pad gaya..
" Inke baare mein nahi poochhogi? ye Shalini hai..! hamare sath tour par chalegi..!" Shamsher ne Vani ka hath pakadte huye kaha...
" Mujhe nahi chalna tour par.. mera sir dard kar raha hai.. jao.. sab chale jao.. mujhe akeli chhodkar..." Vani ko toh bus yahi aata tha.. rooth kar apni aankhon se hi roothne ka matlab samjhana aur jid poori hone tak hadtaal par baithe rahna...
Tabhi Disha andar se pani lekar aa gayi.. Shamsher ke sath najarein mili.. dono ne aankhon hi aankhon mein judayi ki tadap se ek dusre ko awagat karaya aur houle se muskurakar Disha andar chali gayi...
" Kya hua Vani? abhi toh tu fone par mujhe chahak chahak kar gana gakar suna rahi thi.. abhi achanak kya ho gaya tujhe.." Manasi ne Vani ke sir par hath lagakar dekha," Sir toh thanda hai tera.. fir Sirdard?"
" Mujhe kisi se baat nahi karni.. sab tour par jao.. maje karo.. main akeli yahan padi rahungi..." Vani ne munh fulate huye Manasi ka hath apne sir se hata diya..
uss'se kuchh door baithi shalini uthkar uske paas aayi..," kitni pyari ho tum.. kis baat par gussa ho yaar..!"
Vani ne apna neeche wala hont bahar nikal kar ek baar usko ghoora aur fir ye sochkar ki iss bechari ka kya kusoor; wah apna dard uske sath baantne ko razi ho gayi," Sabhi aisa hi kahte rahte hain didi.. par sab mujhe sataane mein lage rahte hain.. sab sochte rahte hain ki kaise Vani ko gussa dilaya jaye.. sab mujhe tang karte hain didi.. koyi mujhse pyar nahi karta..." Kahte huye vani ne uska hath pakad kar apne sath baitha liya...
Uski masoom shikayat sunkar Shalini bhi bina muskuraye na rah saki..," Baat kya hai? batao toh sahi?"
Vani kuchh nahi boli .. yunhi achanak Vani ki najar uski ungaliyon par padi.. aur wo ek pal ko sab kuchh bhool gayi," Haye Didi.. kitni pyari ring hai.. kahan se li?"
" pata nahi.. Gifted hai!" Shalini ne jawab diya...
"Kisne... achchha samajh gayi.." fir Shalini ke kaan ke paas munh lakar houle se kaha," Kya Naam hai?"
Shalini ne bhi uske andaj mein hi uttar diya.. uske kaan mein bola," Rohit!"
" Achchha! Shalini ka secret jaankar Vani bahut khush huyi.. par agle hi pal usko 'apna' secret yaad aa gaya aur fir se uska para chadh gaya..," jab aap dono mein ladayi hoti hai toh aap kya karti hain?" Vani aisa hi kuchh karne ka soch rahi thi..
Shalini khilkhilakar hans padi aur fir uske kaan mein kaha," Gali deti hoon.. aur kya?"
"Kya gali deti ho?" kano hi kano mein guftgoo jari thi..
" Ummmmmm" Shalini ne yunhi koyi gali sochi aur fir uske kaan mein kah diya..," Sala!"
" Hummmmmm!" Vani ne Gali rat li... tabhi Manasi ke dwara kahi gayi baat ne uska khoya noor fir se wapas la diya," bahar wale ghar chalein Vani.. Mujhe bhaiya se kuchh kaam hai...!"
" kyaaa? kahan.. Manu bhi aaya hai kya?" Vani khil uthi...
" tum toh aise poochh rahi ho jaise wo bina bulaye hi aa gaya ho.. bulaya nahi tha kya?" Manasi ne muskurate huye kaha...
" maine nahi bulaya kisi ko.. didi ne bulaya hoga... chalo chalte hain..!" Sab kuchh bhulakar Vani usko bahar kheench kar le gayi........ "Sneha! dekho koun aaya hai? Anjali ne khoyi khoyi si Sneha ko ek agyaat romanch se bhar diya. 'kahin wahi toh nahi' soch kar uska dil jhoom utha aur wah apne aap ko teji ke sath pichhe mudne se rok na saki.. Vicky Anjali ke pichhe khada pyasi nigahon se usko taak raha tha.. Nigahon mein Tan ki bhookhi Wasna ki pyas nahi thi, bulki Sneha ki aankhon mein uske liye fir se wahi pyar, wahi jajbat dekhne ki pyas thi
" Mohan!!!! sorry... Vicky aap? Aap kaise aa gaye?" Bhag kar uske gale se ja chipakne ko Sneha ka poora badan bechain ho utha.. par beech mein Anjali khadi thi.. wah awak netron se usko dekhti rah gayi..
"Tum baatein karo! main aati hoon.." Sneha ke tan-man mein uthe ufaan ko bhanp kar Anjali wahan se khisak li...
"Sneha!.." Vicky ki aankhein bhar aayi.. Wah ab bhi usko yun hi ektak dekh raha tha.. bina palkein jhapkaye..
"Hummm.." 2 kadam aage badh kar Sneha fir thithak gayi.. wah Vicky ko baahein failakar usko pukarte huye dekhna chahti thi..
" Tum mere bina rah logi!" Vicky ne wahin khade khade ulte baans bareli ki tarz par sawaal kiya..
" Par tum.." Sneha ke munh se itna hi nikla..
" Main tumhare bina nahi rah sakta Sanu.. itni hi der mein maine jaan liya... ab tumhare bina man nahi lagta.. lagta hai jaise sab kuchh kho doonga.... agar tumhe kho diya toh.. mujhe maaf kar do na.. mujhe tumhari jarurat hai.. tum mere paas kyun nahi aa jati..." Vicky bolta chala ja raha tha.. Sneha ke liye ab aur sahan karna mushkil tha.. wah toh pahle hi tadap rahi thi.. jakar Vicky ke shareer se ja lipti.. aur bachchon ki tarah bilakhne lagi," tumne bulaya hi kab tha.. Main toh pyar kiya tha Mohan... ab tumhi Vicky ho gaye toh main kya karti.. batao!" Sneha uske seene par sir rakhe usmein simat-ti ja rahi thi...
" Mujhe aaj ahsaas ho gaya Sanu! Mujhmein bhi jajbat hain.. main apne ya apno ke armaano ka gala nahi ghot sakta.. mujhe jeena hai.. jikar dekhna hai.. tumhare sath.. Maine faisla kiya hai.. agar tum mera sath dogi toh...." Vicky ke ruk ruk kar bolte honton par jaise tala lag gaya.. Sneha ne apne larjate honton se uski bolti band kar di.. donon sab kuchh bhool kar ek dusre mein kho gaye.. Sneha ne janam janam uska sath dene ka elaan kar diya..
Achanak darwaje par 'khansne' ki aawaj ke sath dono ekdum chhitak kar ek dusre se door ho gaye.. Bedroom ke darwaje par khadi Neeru bahar dekhte huye muskura rahi thi..
"sorry! Mujhe pata nahi tha ki...." Neeru ke chehre par shararati Muskaan thi..," Main aa gayi.. kab chalna hai?" unn dono ko itni aatmiyata se ek dusre mein khoye dekhkar Neeru ke poore badan mein saanp sa reng gaya...

" wo.. hamein kya pata.. mmain toh inki aankh se kuchh nikal rahi thi.. bahar kisi ko pata hoga.." Sneha ne hadbadate huye kaha...
"Andhere mein hi?" Hanskar Neeru bahar nikal gayi.. dono ne ek dusre ki aankhon mein dekha.. hans pade aur fir ek dusre se chipak gaye...

[liljohn]

Vani ne dandanate huye Gouri ke ghar pravesh kiya.. Masoom sa gussa jhalkati uski aankhein kuchh dhoondh rahi thi.. aur jab wo usko dikh gaya toh pal bhar ke liye uss'se najarein char ki aur apni gardan matkate huye wapas bahar jakar khadi ho gayi...
Manu uske chehre par itne garam tewar dekhkar sakpaka gaya.. Sath baithe Amit ko 'ek minute' bol kar wah uske pichhe bahar nikal gaya.. wahan Vani aur Manasi.. dono khadi thi..
" Hi Vani!" Manu ne jhijhakte huye bola..
Vani apne kandhe uchaka kar thoda sa aur ghoom gayi.. uss'se dusri aur...," kya hai?"
"kuchh nahi.. bus 'hi' bol raha hoon.. tum kuchh gusse mein lag rahi ho.. kya baat hai.. Mujhe aana nahi chahiye tha kya?" Manu ne apni Mansi ki aur dekhte huye batteesi nikali.. taki Manasi ko koyi shak na ho.. ki maamla gambheer hai...
" nahi .. tumhe bilkul nahi aana chahiye tha.. kyun aa gaye tum.. hum par toh bahut bada ahsaan kar diya na!" Vani ne vyangya bano ki bouchhar kar di.. dusri aur dekhte huye hi..
Manu ne Manasi ki aur dekh kar apni batteesi nikal di.. taki Manasi ko shaq na ho.. ki maamla gadbad hai..
par ishaq aur mushq bhi kabhi chhipane se chhipe hain kya.. chahe koyi kitna hi bada turramkhan kyun na ho.. aur yahan toh dono anadi the.. Mansi hatprabh si baar baar dono ki aankhon mein dekhti rahi.. vismit si.. ki kya.. jo wo soch rahi hai.. sach hai? haan.. sach hi toh hai... dono ki hi aankhon mein usko prem ke dore tairte dikhayi diye.. Vani ke gusse mein bhi aseem pyar tha toh Manu ki 'batteesi' dikhane ka andaj bhi bilkul naya tha.. jaise pakde jaane ke dar se khisiya gaya ho..
" Main aati hoon.. " kahkar Manasi ne andar jate huye Vani ki taraf shararat se aankhein matkayi aur dono ko fursat ke chand lamhe dete huye wahan se alag ho gayi.... " wo.. main tumhari khatir hi toh aaya hoon.. tum munh fulaye kyun khadi ho..?" Manasi ke jate hi Manu Vani ke aage natmastak hota hua sa bola...
" Mere liye kyun aaye ho? tum toh Gouri ke liye aaye ho.. tabhi toh yahin par ruk gaye.. seedhe ghar nahi aa sakte the kya?" Vani ne apne dard ko seene se bahar nikala..
"kya? main.. aur Gouri ke liye.. mujhe uss'se kya matlab hai.. main toh seedha wahin aana chahta tha.. par jab wo.. Vicky ji yahan utare toh Amit ne mujhe bhi yahin utaar liya... Mujhe jane hi nahi diya.. fir main kya kahta.. nahi.. mujhe toh Vani ke paas jana hai.. ye?"
" Amit bhi aaya hai kya? par usko kisne bulaya?" Vani hairan hokar Manu ki aur mudi..
" kisi ne nahi.. jab maine usko ye bataya ki main tour par ja raha hoon toh poochhne laga ki koun koun ja rahe hain... fir Gouri ka naam lete hi jid pakad gaya.. Mujhe bhi chalna hai.. Maine Disha se poochha aur unhone haan kar di.."
" chalo achchha hua.. ab tum aur gouri aapas mein baat nahi karoge..."
" Main kab karta hoon uss'se baat.. tum toh yunhi..." Manu man hi man muskura raha tha.. ladki ke pyar ki pahchan uski jalan se hi toh hoti hai...
" baat nahi ki toh kya? tum uss din uski taraf dekh rahe the.. kayi baar dekha tha.. mujhe pata hai.. ab ki baar dekha toh main tumse baat nahi karoongi haan!"
"offoh.. pata nahi kin kin baaton ko lekar baith jati ho.. chalo.. ab andar chalein.. khamkha log jane kya kya sochenge...?" Manu ne usko andar chalne ka ishara kiya...
Vani ne 2 pal uski aankhon mein aankhein dali aur muskura padi.. Manu toh aankh band karke visvas karne layak tha.. wo toh bus yunhi....
Vani uske pichhe pichhe chal padi...

" tum bhi aa gaye Amit! pahle kahan the.." Vani ne jate hi Amit se sawal kiya..
" haan aa toh gaya hoon.. par shayad kisi ko dikhayi hi nahi de raha.." Amit ne paas se gujar rahi Gouri ko dekh kar comment kiya.. pata nahi kya wajah thi.. par Gouri uss'se jaanboojh kar najre chura rahi thi.. ya fir tarsa rahi thi.. bhagwan jane.. par jab se Amit wahan baitha hua tha.. Gouri rah rah kar ithlati huyi uske saamne se gujar rahi thi.. par usspar dhyan na dene ka natak kar rahi thi...
tabhi wahan par Vasu ji ka aagman hua.. Gouri, Disha, Vani aadi ne jab unko pranam kiya toh sab ladkon ne bhi khade hokar hath jod liye...
" Namaskar ji sabko mera namaskar.. ho gayi taiyaariyan ya abhi kuchh baki hai..." Vasu ki najrein andar aate hi Neeru ko dhoondhne lagi...
" Haan.. Sir.. sabhi aa gaye hain.. bus ab chalte hi honge.. lijiye aap pani lijiye.." Gouri ne Vasu ki taraf tray badhate huye kaha...
Vasu ka matha thanka..," kya? sab aa gaye? Neeru.. wwo.. matlab Neer ka seven toh main thahar kar karunga.. sab aa gaye hain na...!" Vasu ne khud ko sambhala..
" haan.. lagbhag sabhi aa gaye hain Sir.. bus Gaanv se kuchh ladkiyan rahti hain.. wo bhi aati hi hongi.." Vasu ke 'Neeru' kahne se Gouri ko yaad aaya.. Neeru, Neha, Sarita, Divya, Renu, aarzoo aur Sonia abhi aayi nahi hain....
Gouri ne Mushkil se apni baat poori ki hi thi ki unn sabhi ladkiyon ne apne apne bag liye ghar mein kadam rakha...
" Arrey.. yahan toh badi rounak lagi huyi hai... maine toh socha tha ki 5-7 ladkiyan hi ja rahi hain bus.. yahan toh.." Sarita ne aate hi ek ek karke sabhi ladkon ki aur kamuk najron se dekhte huye kaha.. uski toh aish ho gayi.. wahan ka mahoul dekhte hi...
uski iss ada par ladkiyan toh ladkiyan ladke bhi baglein jhankne lage... uski aankhon ke sath uske hav bhav se saaf pata chal sakta tha ki wo 'kheli khayi' ladki hai..
Vasu ki aankhein Neeru ko dekhte hi chamak uthi," ab chala jaye.. yahan baithe baithe kya karenge.. bahut lamba rasta hai...
" Ji abhi main unko fone karti hoon.. Bus aayi kyun nahi... abhi tak!" Disha ne Shamsher ka no. dial kiya aur andar kamre mein nikal gayi...
Kamre mein har taraf josh aur umang ki lahrein uthti dikhayi de rahi thi.. sirf kamre mein khadi Aarzoo, sonia aur Renu ko chhod kar.. Aarzoo aur Sonia ko Neha jabardasti le aayi thi aur Renu Sarita ke kahne se wahan aayi thi.. in sabka iss tarah ghar se bahar nikalne ka pahla mouka tha.. ladkon ko dekhkar hi inki jaan si nikali ja rahi thi.. kahin ghar walon ko pata lag gaya ki unke sath tour par ladke bhi gaye the toh unki khair nahi..... " Kitna time lagega jiju, Nainital tak jane mein...?" Vani ne bus ke aate hi khush hokar Shamsher se poochha...
" 8-10 ghante toh lag hi jayenge.. kyun?" Shamsher ne uska bag pakadte huye kaha...
" Nahi kuchh nahi.. yunhi poochh rahi thi.. aa jao.. sab chadh jao bus mein.." Vani ne chillakar sabko aawaj di...
" lao.. tumhara bag main pakad leti hoon.." Riya lapak kar Viru ke bag ke paas pahunchi...
" Kyun? Raj mar gaya hai kya? Raj! ye le.." Viru ne ek najar Riya ko ghoora aur Raj ko pukar kar apne bag ki aur ishara kiya...
" Le chalne do yaar.. bechari ko.. kitne pyar se toh kah rahi hai.." Raj ne Riya ke achanak mayoos ho gaye chehre ki aur dekhte huye kaha...
" Hunh.. bechari! tumhe bechari lagti hai ye.. dopahar se mujhe 'tooti taang' kah kar bula rahi hai.. agar dusron k ghar na hota toh isko batata ki tooti taang kahte kise hain.." Viru banawati gusse se bola..
" toh.. tum bhi toh mujhko kah rahe the ki main ladkon ki tarah se chalti hoon.. main kuchh bhi na boloon...?" Riya gusse se chilla si padi...
" chalo chalo.. apna rasta naapo.. main Raj nahi hoon samjhi!" Viru ne usko chidane mein koyi kasar nahi chhodi thi..
"Mujhe beech mein kyun ghaseet rahe ho bhai.. Lao bag idhar do.." kahte huye Raj ne bag uthaya aur bahar nikalne laga..
"tooti taang.. tooti taang.. tooti taang.." Riya ne kaha aur jor jor se hanste huye bahar ki aur bhagi...
Viru jane kyun darwaje ki aur kuchh pal ektak dekhta raha.. Riya ke uski aankhon se aujhal ho jane ke baad bhi.. aur fir apne aap hi hansne laga," Pagal hai!"
" Koun pagal hai bhaiya!" Sneha ne taiyaar hokar bedroom se nikalte huye kaha...
" aaa.. haan.. kuchh nahi.. wo aise hi.. ab toh badi khush lag rahi ho.. kya baat hai?" Viru ne baat palat di..
Sneha aur bhi khil uthi.. Vicky ke uski jindagi mein wapas aate hi uske chehre par sada kayam rahne wala noor wapas aa gaya tha," chalo bhi ab!"
" haan haan.. ja raha hoon.." Viru ne kaha aur bahar nikal gaya...
------------------------------------------------------------

Sarita, Neha aur Divya jo pichhli baar ke tour ka kamuk anubhav yaad karke ek baar fir usi tarah ka anand uthane ko tatpar thi, unke aramaano par Pani sa fir gaya.. Vasu jo kisi ke bina kahe hi tour ka prayojak aur Margdarshak ban baitha tha, sabse pahle bus mein sawaar hokar har-ek ko uski seat batane laga tha.. Neeru bus mein chadhne lagi toh usne usko rok diya," tum ruko abhi!"
aur Neeru sharminda si hokar bahar hi khadi rah gayi.. wah toh sabse pahle chadh kar Vasu ke sath wali seat kabja lena chahti thi..
Bus mein chadhne wale ladkon ko usne pichhe ka rasta dikhana shuru kar diya.. Aage wali seaton mein se Ek Shamsher aur Disha ke liye rakh chhodi aur dusri Anjali madam aur Gouri ke liye.. dusre no. ki seaton mein se ek taraf wali usne apne aur vicky ke liye rakh chhodi thi.. aur uske barabar wali pata nahi kiske liye.. par usspar usne kisi ko baithne na diya..
Baki aane wali ladkiyon ko usne teesri pankti se bithana shuru kar diya...
" Shriman ji.. aap yahan aayiye!" Vicky ke bus mein chadhte hi Vasu ne vicky ke liye reserve rakh chhodi seat ki aur ishara kiya..
"oh! thanx shastri ji.." Vicky khush hokar usspar baith gaya.. usne socha sath wali seat uski Sneha ke liye hogi..
uske baad bus mein chadhe Shamsher aur disha ko bhi usne unke liye nirdharit seat bata di..
" aap kyun kast utha rahe hain, vasu ji..? apne aap hi baith jayenge sab.. koyi bachche thode hi na hain.." Shamsher ne muskurate huye kaha...
" Aji, ismein kast ki kya baat hai.. iss karyakram ka sara uttardayittav Anjali ji ne mujh par hi toh dala hua hai.. aap dono sath sath baithiye.." Vasu ne shamsher ki mushkurahat ka jawab dogune josh ke sath diya..
Anjali bina kahe hi shamsher ki barabar wali seat par aa jami... aur uske baad Gouri..
Sneha, jo sabse baad mein aane walon mein se thi, ne upar chadhte hi Vicky ki aur dekha..
" ye mere liye hai devi! aap yahan baith jayiye.. " barabar wali seat ki aur ishara karte huye Vasu ne kaha..
Sneha ne mayoos hokar vicky ki taraf dekha toh vicky ne apna matha pakad liya.. jane kyun Vasu unke beech deewar bana hua tha..
kuchh jawab na pakar Sneha ne wahi seat pakad li jo vasu ne usko dikhayi thi... Vicky ke barabar wali...
" Oho.. tum rah hi gayi thi.. aao.. upar aa jao!" Vasu ne Neeche khadi hokar uske ishare ka intzaar kar rahi Neeru ko dekh kar iss prakar ka natak kiya jaise usko pata hi na ho ki wo neeche khadi hai..."
Neeru upar aa gayi aur Vasu ki aur dekhne lagi...
"ummmm.. aap yahan baith jayiye.. ye seat khali hi hai.." Vasu ne Sneha ke barabar wali seat ki aur ishara karte huye kaha.. ya dusre shabdon mein.. apne barabar wali seat...
" Neeru jab apne chehre par muskurahat aane se rok na saki toh usne apne munh par hath rakh liya..
' toh ye sara arrangement mere liye hi tha..' Neeru ne man hi man socha aur khil uthi.. uske man ki murad poori ho gayi thi... Vasu dhamm se apni seat par jakar baith gaya...," Chalo chalak mahashay!" "A Sona.. ye ladke koun hain yaar...?" Aarzoo ne Sonia ke kaan ke paas apne hont late huye poochha... wo dono ladkiyon mein sabse peechhe baithi thi...
" kya khyal hai Razo? koyi pasand aa gaya kya?" Sonia ne hanste huye dheere se uske kaan mein hi sawal ka jawab sawal se diya...
"hunh.. mujhe kyun pasand aayega.. main aisi ladki nahi hoon.. mujhse aisi bakwas tu na hi kar...!" Aarzoo ek dum bhabhak uthi....
" yaar, ismein bura maan'ne wali kya baat hai.. main toh bus majak kar rahi thi.. tujhe bura laga toh sorry... waise...!" kahkar Sonia chup ho gayi...
kuchh der tak uske aage bolne ka intzar karti rahne ke baad Aarzoo se raha na gaya," Waise kya?"
" Kuchh nahi.. tu khamkha bura maan jayegi..." Sonia ne dheere se kahkar apna sir seedha kar liya.. usko pata tha.. na toh wo aage bolne se ruk sakti hai.. aur na hi Aarzoo uski aadhi chhodi gayi baat ko poora sune bina maan'ne wali hai... ladkiyan hoti hi aisi hain... fir bhi wah chup baithi rahi..
" bata na.. kya kah rahi thi tu.. mujhe teri ye aadat bilkul achchhi nahi lagti.. shuru ki hai toh poori baat kah.. mujhe bura lage ya achchha.. chal bol..." Aarzoo se raha na gaya...
" kuchh nahi.. main kah rahi thi.. khidkiyan bhi nahi khukti iss bus ki toh.. tumhe garmi nahi lag rahi..." Sonia ne baat ko jaan boojh kar kha liya...
" jhoothi.. tu ladkon ke baare mein kuchh bol rahi thi.. mujhe pata hai.. aur waise bhi AC bus mein garmi lag hi nahi sakti.. wo bhi raat ke time... jaldi bata kya bol rahi thi.. mera dimag garam na kar..." Aarzoo ne sonia ko pyar se jhidka.. shayad ye tarkeeb kaam kar jaye...
" arey yaar.. tu ye nahi kah rahi thi ki mujhe toh ladke waise bhi achchhe nahi lagte.. bus isi baat par... main kahne wali thi ki hum jaisi jawan ladkiyon ko ladke pasand nahi aayenge toh kya pasand aayega.. bus majak mein.. apne upar mat le jana baat ko....
" Tu bhi na... dhat!" kahkar Aarzoo sharma gayi...

" ismein galat baat kya hai? sahi toh kah rahi hai ye..." Amit aage wali seat par sir tikaye dhyan se unn dono ki baat dhyan se sun raha tha... achanak beech mein tapak pada..
Amit ki baat sunkar dono seat se uchhal si padi.. turant hi Aarzoo ne sambhalte huye Amit par hi morcha khol diya.. par houle houle," ye idiot hamari baat sun raha hai..!"
"main toh janam jaat idiot hoon ji... sikha do na 'kuchh' mujhe bhi..." kahkar Amit khilkhila utha... dono ladkiyan jhenp gayi...
" tu bhi yaar.. jahan dekho shuru ho jata hai.. aaram se nahi baith sakta kya..?" Manu ne usko danta.. wo uske sath hi baitha apni Vani ko dekh raha tha.. wo bhi rah rah kar sabse najrein bachakar uski aur dekh leti... aur apni haseen smile paas kar deti.. Manu ki aur...
" Maine kya kaha hai.. ab ye mujhe idiot kah rahi hai toh isko jaroor 'kuchh kuchh' aata hoga.. maine toh yahi bola hai ki...." Amit bhi ek no. ka besharm tha...
" chup kar yaar.. tu saare tour ka maja kharaab karega..." Manu ne usko beech mein hi tok diya...
" Tujhe maje lene aate bhi hain... ulloo ki tarah dekhte rahna bus uski aur.... mujhe toh darr hai ki.. wo kahin tujhe 'wo' na samajh le.." Amit ne jaan boojh kar ye baat Manu ke sath sath unn dono ko bhi suna di.. aur fir se hansne laga...
" chup ho ja yaar.. tere hath jodta hoon.. !" Manu ne aakhirkar haar maan hi li...
" Dekh ye bhi toh ladka hai... kitni sharafat se baat kar raha hai.. mujhe toh aise hi ladke pasand hain...." Aarzoo ne kankhiyon se Manu ki aur dekha...
" Iski sharafat ka toh tab pata lagega.. jab tumhare gaanv mein barat aayegi iski... 'sharafat se baat kar raha hai..'" Amit ne Aarzoo ki nakal utaarte huye kaha...," aur haan.. main bhi aaoonga.. barat mein.. chehra dekh lo.. achchhi tarah...!"
" Dekh liya.. Bandar jaisa hai.." Aarzoo ne houle se pichhe baat sunayi aur Sonia aur wo dono khilkhila kar hans pahi...
" haan.. bandar se yaad aaya.. ek baar ek bandar ne kutiya se pyar kar liya.. pata hai kya paida hua?" Amit ne kaha toh Manu ne apne dono hathon se apna munh jakad liya.. nahi jakadta toh aisa thahaka goonjta ki sari bus mein tamasha ban jata.. aur fir jawab dena bhi mushkil ho jata ki hansa toh hansa kis baat par...
" Badtameej!" Aarzoo ne apne chehre se nikalne wali hansi ko jaise taise apne aap par kaabu karke Gali ki shakal de di.. par Sonia apne aap ko hansne se na rok saki.. usne pichhe mudkar apne munh ko hathon mein daboche Manu ki aur dekha.. usko uski badi daya aayi..
Manu aur Sonia ki najrein milni thi aur Vani ka pichhe dekhna ho gaya.. dono ki aankhon mein.. bulki charon ki aankhon mein hansi ki jhalak pate hi Vani tilmila uthi... Bus ne mohan nagar T-junction se dayein mudkar Ghaziabad traffic light ki aur highway no. 24 ki aur bayein turn liya....
" Manasi.. tu Manu ko apne paas bula le na.. main pichhe chali jati hoon..!" jal bhun kar rakh ho gayi Vani ne apne sath baithi Manasi se kaha...
" kyun kya hua..?" Manasi ko Vani ki baat atpati si lagi.. usne peechhe mudkar Manu ko dekha.. Vani ki najron ki bhasha samajh kar Manu ki haalat aisi ho gayi thi jaise bina jahar wale saanp ko kisi ne bil mein ghuste dekh uski poonchh se pakad liya ho.. Shakal toh uski shareef pahle hi thi..
" kyun kah rahi hai tu aisa.. kya hua.. batao na..?" Manasi ne fir se Vani par najrein jamakar kaha...
" kuchh nahi.. bus tu usko yahan bula le.. agar meri baat naani hai toh.." kahkar Vani uthkar pichhli seat par chali gayi.. wahan Divya akeli baithi huyi thi...
kuchh der sochne ke baad Manasi ne Manu ko aawaj di," bhaiya.. idhar aana.."
" Le main kah raha tha na saa.. tu meri band bajwayega.. bajwa di na.." badbadata hua manu wahan se uthkar Angare barsati huyi Vani se mehaj ek second ke liye najre milata hua Manasi ke paas ja baitha..," Kya hua Mani?"
" Kuchh nahi.. aap yahin baithe raho.. bus!" Manasi ne dheere se manu se kaha..
" aakhir kuchh hua bhi hoga? main wahan theek toh baitha tha.. Aaram se.. Main toh kuchh bol bhi nahi raha tha kisi se..!" Manu ne ye safayi Manasi ko nahi bulki uske pichhe baithkar uski shirt kheench rahi Vani ko deni jaroori samajhi...
"Vani khansi toh Manu ne pichhe mudkar dekha.. Vani uski aur aankhein nikale huye daant pees rahi thi.. bechara Manu man maar kar rah gaya.. ye time uss'se jyada khulkar safayi dene ka tha bhi toh nahi...
" Main wapas jaaun?" Manu ki ek aankh Manasi par aur dusri Vani par thi..
Manasi ne pichhe mudkar Vani ko dekha.....
" Meri taraf kyun dekh rahi ho.. meri taraf se toh chahe koyi bhad mein jaye.. muje kya..?" Vani ab bhi uski shirt ko pakad kar kheenche huye thi...
"theek hai.. main yahin baith jata hoon.. waise bhi peechhe nahi baithna chah raha main..." Aur bechara Manu.....

Vicky kafi der se Shamsher ko kuchh kahne ka soch raha tha.. Par Vasu ke paas 3 ghante se jyada baithne ke baad usko aisa lag raha tha jaise kisi aashram mein baitha ho... uske pravachan sun sun kar uske kaan pak gaye the... Aakhirkar uss'se raha na gaya..," Shamsher bhai.. ek minute pichhe aaoge..!"
" haan.. bata na.. kya baat hai? yahin bol de...!" Shamsher ne pichhe ghoomte huye kaha...
" Nahi yaar.. ek baar pichhe aa ja...!"
"chal!" shamsher khada ho gaya aur dono jakar bus ki pichhli seaton par baith gaye..," kya baat hai..?"
" Baat kya hai yaar.. tumne suna nahi kya?" ye kaise kaise adhyapak.. oh my God! main bhi uski bhasha bolne lag gaya.. ye kaise teacher ko sath le aaya tu bhi.. lagta hai jaise mouj masti ke liye nahi.. teerth yatra par ja rahe hon... saare.. teerth.. saare shlok.. sare mantra.. mujhe suna diye isne.. kuchh kuchh toh mujhe yaad ho bhi gaya.. sunaaoon.. Om vishvani dev: savitur, duritani para shuv: yad bhadram aasuv:...."
" yaar ye kya pagalpan hai.. mujhe kyun suna raha hai ye sab.. baat kya hai.. wo bata na..." Shamsher ne hanste huye kaha..
" Dekh le.. tujhse ek chhand bhi nahi suna gaya.. tu soch.. maine poore havan ke mantra kaise jhele honge yaar.. kaise jhela hoga iss.. isko 3 ghante se jyada..." Vicky ne bechara sa munh banate huye kaha," achchha bhala.. Sneha ke paas baith raha tha.. wahan se bhi mana kar diya.." Vicky ro toh nahi raha tha.. par halat uss'se bhi kahin jyada gayi gujari thi.....
" toh kya karna hai.. Sneha ke sath baithna hai abhi...!" Shamsher ne matlab ki baat par aate huye kaha...
" Nahi bhai... ab.. Sneha ke paas baithne se bhi kya hoga.. iss kambakhat ne toh baaton hi baaton mein meri ijjat si loot li hai.. mujhe kuchh bhi yaad nahi.. sivay uske pravachano ke..!" Vicky ka bura haal tha...
" ha ha ha ha.. nahi yaar.. wo mast aadmi hai.. bus baatein kuchh jyada karta hai.. tu bata.. kya chahiye tujhe ab..?" Shamsher hansna toh aur bhi chahta tha.. par Vicky ki roni surat dekh kar usko raham aa gaya...
" Daru! daru chahiye bhai.. abhi ke abhi.. warna main pagal ho jaaunga..!"
" yahan toh theek nahi hai vicky.. samjha kar...!" Shamsher ne usko samjhane ki koshish ki..
" toh aisa karo.. mujhe yahin utaar do.. main wapas chala jaaunga.. ye upkaar toh kar hi sakte ho.. mere bhai.." Vicky ki shakal sach mein hi dekhne layak thi...
" Chal.. main dekhta hoon.. thoda aage chalkar khana khayenge.. tab dekhte hain.. OK?"

"kitni door aur chalna padega...?" Vicky ke chehre par hulki si rounak lout aayi..
" yahan se babugarh kareeb 15 kilometer aur hai.. wahan se 50 kilometer hai Gajroula.. wahan par khayenge......" Shamsher ne usko thapki dete huye kaha...

"theek hai bhai.. par main wapas uske paas nahi jaaunga.. yahin baitha rahoonga tab tak...." Vicky ne murjhaye huye chehre se kaha..
" tu chal na yaar.. aa.. main Sneha ko tere sath bithwane ka jugad karta hoon.. Disha se kahkar.... aaja!" "A Riya! dekh na, Raj Sleevless T-shirt mein kitna cute lag raha hai!" Priya ne najrein ghumakar ek baar fir se Raj par nigaah dali...
" aur Viru? wo jag raha hai kya?" Riya ne pichhe nahi dekha.. bus usi se poochh liya..
"hummm.. mujhse kyun poochh rahi hai.. tujhe aankhein nahi di kya bhagwan ne?" Priya ne chatkhare lete huye kaha...
" Mujhe nahi dekhna usko! Muchchhad!" Riya ne kahte huye apni aankhein band kar li.. kahin Aankhon se uske dil ki baat na pata chal jaye..
" umm? kya bola tune? Muchchhad? ha ha ha!" Priya pichhe mudkar Viru ke chehre par ugg rahi hulki moonchhon par gour karte huye hans padi.. Viru ne ek pal ko uss'se najrein milayi aur fir apna chehra dusri aur kar liya..
" Aur kya? jab ye mujhse baat nahi karta toh dil karta hai apne naakhuno se iski moonchhe ukhad daloon.. pata nahi kya samajhta hai apne aapko.. tune bhi toh promice kiya tha na.. mere liye baat karegi.. ab toh bhool gayi hogi tu.. tera kaam toh ban hi gaya hai..." Riya ne munh fulate huye kaha..
" Nahi yaar.. aisi baat nahi hai... teri tarah mujhe bhi uss'se baat karte huye darr lagta hai.. par main Raj ko bolkar dekhoongi.. mouka milne de..!" Priya ne Riya ko shantwana di..
" dekh le.. teri marzi hai.. warna maine toh aisa plan soch rakha hai ki bus.. baad mein mujhe mat kahna ye kya kar diya...!" Riya ne bhi usko ultimatum de dala..
" kya? aisa kya karegi tu?" Priya ne sambhavit aascharya mein pahle hi apna munh khol liya...
" wo toh bus tabhi pata chalega.. agar tune uske mujhse dhang se baat karne ke liye razi nahi kiya toh.. ab tu dekh le..." Riya ne raj ko raj hi rakha..
" dekh Riya.. kuchh ulta seedha karne ki mat sochna.. main kah rahi hoon na.. main baat karoongi..... A.. wo dekh.. Sneha vicky wali seat par chali gayi.. haye.. kass! main bhi Raj ke sath baith sakti..." Priya ne bolte bolte achanak Riya ka dhyan aaage ki aur kheencha..
" aur dekh.. wo 'Sir' uss ladki ke sath baith gaye.. unka bhi kuchh chakkar hai kya?" Riya ne Vasu ki aur ishara kiya...
" Dhat! pagal.. Ab Sneha uski seat par jayegi toh wo kya wahin baithe rahenge.. isiliye Neeru ke paas jakar baith gaye honge.. 'wo' toh 'Sir' hain uske!" Priya ne Riya ke man ka 'mail' nikalne ki koshish ki...
" beshak Sir hon.. par tu chahe shart laga le.. kuchh na kuchh baat jaroor hai.. abhi dekha nahi tune.. dono ek dusre se najrein milakar kaise khil uthhe the.. haan.. kuchh na kuchh chakkar jaroor milge inka bhi!" Riya apni baat par ad gayi..
"Chal na.. tu toh pagal hai.. ab chup kar ye baatein.. koyi sun lega!" kahte huye Priya ne ek baar aur Raj ko aur Viru ki 'moonchhon' ko dekha aur seedhi baith gayi...
--------------------------------
"tum theek toh ho na.. Neeru! ultiyaan wagairah toh nahi aane wali hain na...!" Apne Vasu ne kya topic dhoondha tha.. baat shuru karne ke liye.. wah!
Neeru ne Gardan neeche karke apna sir 'na' mein hila diya.. Vasu ki jaanghein uski jaanghon ke sath sat'te hi uske badan mein wasnatmak sugbugahat si shuru ho gayi thi... iss 'masti' ko aur badhane ke liye usne apni jaanghein thodi si khol kar Vasu se aur jyada chipka di...
" ohh.. kshama karna! maine jaan-boojh kar aisa nahi kiya.." kahte huye Vasu ne sarakte huye apne ko Neeru se thoda alag kar liya.. uss lalloo ko ye laga ki Neeru ka bhari bus mein uske sath sat kar baithna achchha nahi laga hoga...
bechari Neeru kya bolti! khoon ka ghoont peekar rah gayi.. ab aise 'diljale' se yaari ki hai toh bhugatna toh padega hi..
-----------------------------------------
"Thanx Vicky!" Sneha ne chupke se Vicky ke kaan mein kahte huye apna sir uske kandhe par tika diya...
Vicky ne apna hath Sneha ki gardan ke pichhe se le jaate huye dusri taraf uske kandhe par rakh liya..
" tum mujhse abhi bhi pyar karti ho na.. Sanu!" Vicky ne houle se ye baat Sneha ke kaan mein kahkar usko andar tak gudguda diya..
" pata nahi.." Kahkar Sneha ne usko kohni mari..
" bata na.. main seriously poochh raha hoon.." Vicky ne fir se uske kaan mein kaha..
" seriously?" Sneha ne sawaal kiya..
" haan.. yaar seriously.."
Sneha ne apna chehra thoda sa upar uthaya aur uske kaan ke paas apne hont le gayi..," Mera 'pyar' karne ka bahut dil kar raha hai.. main mari ja rahi hoon.. tumhari baahon mein aane ke liye.. kab pahunchenge Nainitaal?"
Vicky ko jawaab mil gaya.. wah aur uska dil, dono jhoom uthhe..," thanx Sanu! main bhi tumhare liye ab utna hi tadap raha hoon.." kahte huye vicky ne Sneha ke kandhe ko dabakar apne se sata liya..
" Main.. tumhari god mein sir rakh loon..?" Sneha ne apni garam saansein Vicky ke kaano ke paas chhodi toh vicky ka 'sab kuchh' akad gaya..
" yahan? abhi? sabke saamne? sabko ajeeb nahi lagega kya?"
" lagne do.. yahan mujhe koun jaanta hai.. aur jo jaante hain.. unka pata hi hai ki main tumhari hi hoon.. kya farq padta hai..?" Sneha uske thoda aur kareeb aakar boli..
" theek hai.. aa jao.. mujhe bhi koyi problem nahi hai..?" Vicky ne uss'se thoda door hatkar Sneha ke uski god mein sir rakhne ka rasta saaf kar diya..
Sneha ne ek pal ko jhijhakte huye apne baayein dekha aur fir aankhein band karke Vicky ki god mein sir tika diya...
par unko dekhne ki fursat kiske paas thi.. sab ya toh 'apne apnon' par najar rakhe huye the ya fir so chuke the... Sivay Aarzoo ko chhodkar.. uska koyi aisa 'apna' toh bus mein tha nahi.. aur neend uski uda hi di thi.. Amit ne.. 'bandar aur kutiya' wali baat kahkar.. jaane anjaane.. kafi der tak uska dhyan isi baat par tika raha.. aur jab uss baat se dhyan hata toh 'vicky' par aakar tik gaya...
Vicky aur Sneha ki chuhalbajiyan uske tan-man mein gudgudi si paida kar rahi thi.. aur jaise hi Sneha jhuk kar vicky ki god mein leti.. 'kalpana shakti' ki door usko vicky ki jaanghon ke beech le gayi..aur anayas hi uski jaanghein kaskar ek dusri se sat gayi.. jane kaisa ahsaas tha.. par jo bhi tha.. Aarzoo ke chehre par bade hi kamuk bhav ujagar ho gaye.. 'issshhh'
" ye kya hai? tum toh abhi se taiyaar ho?" Sneha ne jaise hi vicky ki god mein sir rakha.. ek 'jani-pahchani 'cheez' uske gaalon se aakar sat gayi.. wo kahte huye shararat se muskura padi..
vicky kuchh nahi bola.. bus muskuraya aur uske chehre par pyar se hath ferne laga...
" Mujhe nahi pata.. mujhe sir rakhne mein dikkat ho rahi hai.. isko theek karo pahle.." Sneha ne shararati tareeke se apne gaal aur uss 'cheej' ke beech apna hath rakhte huye dheere se kaha.. hath ka sparsh jean ke upar se paate hi 'wo' aur bhi akad gaya.. aur bhi seedha ho gaya.. aur bhi lamba..
" Dekho.. main pahle hi bol rahi hoon... warna...!" Sneha ne jaise kuchh than hi liya tha..
"main kya karoon.. aaaah" Bolte bolte vicky ki siski nikal gayi.. Sneha ne apne daanton se jean ka wo ubhra hua bhag kaat khaya tha..
Vicky ki siski sunkar Sneha ki hansi chhoot gayi.. wo kahte hain na.. 'chori chori pyar mein hai jo maja!'"aah.. ye kya.. sabko pata chal jayega.." Vicky ne sisak'te huye jhuk kar dheere se kaha...
" Achchha.. ab nahi karoongi.. par baad mein tumhe chhodungi nahi.. dekh lena!" Sneha ne vicky ki aankhon mein jhankte huye sharaarat se apni aankhein matkayi.. aur neeche hi neeche apne hathon se 'uss' ko sahlane lagi.. Vicky par pyar karne ki khumari chadhti ja rahi thi...
Aarzoo bade gour se pal pal badalte Vicky ke chehre ke bhavon ko dekh rahi thi.. usko poora yakin tha ki neeche 'kuchh' na 'kuchh' ho raha hai...
" Sona! tune kuchh dekha kya?" Aarzoo Sonia ke kaan mein fusfusayi..
" Kya?" Sone ki taiyari kar rahi Sonia ne Aarzoo ke chehre ki aur dekhte huye kaha..
" Meri taraf kya dekh rahi hai? udhar dekh.. Saamne!" Aarzoo ne Sonia ko kohni maari..
Sonia ne bus mein aage ki taraf najrein doudayi, par uski najrein wo nahi dekh payi jo Aarzoo dekh rahi thi.. ya fir dekh kar bhi samajh nahi payi," kya dekhoon?"
" Are.. wo ladki.. Sneha uski god mein sir rakhe leti hai... dikhta nahi kya tujhe?"
" aaa haan.. par main dekhu kya?" Sonia abhi bhi anjaan thi..
" tu toh bilkul buddhu hai.. kabhi 'waisi' movie nahi dekhi kya?"
" Sonia 'waisi movie' ka matlab turant samajh gayi," main.. main kyun dekhoongi.. waisi movie.. par tu kahna kya chah rahi hai...?" Sonia ne Aarzoo ke kaan mein fusfusaya...
" oho.. tu toh jaise bilkul hi bholi hai.. sun.. idhar aa" Aarzoo ne kaha aur Sonia uske chehre ki aur jhuk gayi..," Kya?"
" Maine dekhi hai ek baar... usmein ek angrejan kisi angrej ka 'wo' munh mein lekar choos rahi thi.."
Sonia ne Aarzoo ko beech mein hi tok diya..," Dhat! aisi baatein kyun kar rahi hai..?"
" are.. main aisi baat aise hi nahi bol rahi.. tu sun toh sahi.. jab wo aisa kar rahi thi toh wo angrej bhi aise hi sisak raha tha.. jaise ye..."
"Matlab... Sneha.. hey bhagwan.." aur Sonia ne aascharya aur sharam mein apne hath se apna munh dhak liya..
"tu dhyan se dekh.. tujhe apne aap samajh aa jayega..."
" par.. wo aisa kyun kar rahi hai..? sharam nahi aati usko.." Sonia ka chehra sharam se laal ho gaya tha..
" Maje bhi toh aa rahe honge.." Aarzoo ne sonia ke samanya gyan mein ijaafa kiya..
"Majey?? iss kaam mein kaise majey?" Beshak Sonia ye sawaal kar rahi thi.. par ab tak uski mansal jaanghon ke beech usko bhi taralta ka ahsaas hone laga tha... kudaratan!
"ab main tujhe karke dikhaaun kya? tu sach mein nahi samajhti kya ye sab.." Sonia ne peechhe mudkar dekha.. Amit neend ke aagosh mein pada so raha tha..
" nahi.. kasam se.. maine kabhi nahi kiya aisa kuchh" Sonia ne bholi bante huye kaha...
" ek baat bataoon.. kisi ko bolegi toh nahi na..? Aarzoo ne uska hath pakadte huye kaha..
" maine teri kabhi koyi baat kisi ko batayi hai kya?" kahte huye Sonia man hi man wo naam yaad karne lagi thi jis jis ko wo Aarzoo ka 'Raj' bata kar apna pate hulka kar sakegi.. aakhir ladki thi bhai
" Maine hai na.. ek baar.. dekh tujhe meri kasam hai.. kisi ko bolna mat.." Sonia kahte kahte ruk gayi..
" are bol na baba.. nahi bataaungi.. promice!"
" theek hai.. ek baar mujhe ek 'gandi' movie ghar par mili thi.. main akeli hi thi.. maine movie chala li... usmein .. maine abhi bataya tha na tujhe...?" Aarzoo ne apna chehra Sonia se door karte huye uske mano bhavon ko padhne ki koshish ki..
" haan.. haan.. tu bata na.. jaldi" Sonia ne kamukta se apni jaanghon ko kaskar bheech liya.. ajeeb si gudgudi ho rahi thi.. uske badan mein...
" usmein ladki 'usko' munh mein lekar choos rahi thi.. aur wo 'bahut' bada ho gaya tha.." Aarzoo ne apne angoothe aur ungaliyon ko ek dusre se door failate huye 'uska' size samjhane ki koshish ki," aur fir baad mein 'wo' bhi 'uski' chaat raha tha..."
Sonia ka hath swat: hi uski god se neeche chala gaya tha.. shayad chipchipi ho gayi panty ko durust karne ke liye.. ya fir 'uss' meethe ahsaas ko hathon se mahsoos karne ke liye...," haye Raaam! fir..?"
" fir kya? fir wo pyar karne lage..." Aarzoo ne apni aankhon ko failate huye kaha..
" pyar? ye pyar kaise hota hai Ajju!" Sonia ke badan mein aag si lag gayi.. usko 'ye' baatein sunkar itna maja aa raha tha ki usne apni ek jaangh ko dusri ke upar chadha liya...
Sonia ka bhi lagbhag waisa hi haal tha.. ab wo dono vicky aur Sneha se apna dhyan hatakar ek dusri ka hath masalne mein lagi huyi thi.. aur shayad unmein se kisi ko iski khabar bhi na ho.. sab kuchh apne aap ho raha tha..," pyar.. 'usko' 'usmein' daal kar karte hain.." Sonia har ang ke liye 'uss' aur 'wo' sarvnaam ka prayog kar rahi thi... chahe wo purush ka ho ya stri ka..
