Ek Anokha Bandhan

“Ye main kaha hun. main to apne kamre mein neend ki goli ley kar shoyi thi. main yaha kaise aa gayi ? kiska kamra hai ye ?”

aankhe khulte hi zarina ke man mein hazaaron sawaal ghumne lagte hain. Ek

anjaana bhaiy uske man ko gher leta hai.

Vo kamre ko bade gor se dekhti hai. "kahi main sapna to nahi dekh rahi" zarina sochti hai.

"nahi nahi ye sapna nahi hai...par main hun kaha?" zarina hairaani mein pad jaati hai.

Vo himmat karke dheere se bistar se khadi ho kar dabe paanv kamre se baahar aati hai.

"bilkul shunshaan sa maahol hai...aakhir ho kya raha hai."

zarina ko saamne bane kitchen mein kuch aahat shunaayi deti hai.

"kitchen mein koyi hai...kaun ho sakta hai....?"

zarina dabe paanv kitchen ke darvaaje par aati hai. Ander khade ladke ko dekh kar ushke

hosh ud jaate hain.

“arey ! ye to aditya hai… ye yaha kya kar raha hai...kya ye mujhe yaha ley kar aaya hai...ishki himmat kaise huyi” zarina darvaaje par khade khade sochti hai.

Aditya uska class mate bhi tha aur padosi bhi. Aditya aur zarina ke parivaaron mein

bilkul nahi banti thi. aksar aditya ki mammi aur zarina ki ammi mein kisi na kisi baat ko ley kar kaha suni ho jaati thi. In padosiyon ka jhagda pure mohalle mein mashur tha.

Aksar inki bhidant dekhne ke liye log ikkatha ho jaate the.

Zarina aur aditya bhi ek dusre ko dekh kar bilkul khus nahi the. Jab kabhi college mein vo ek dusre ke saamne aate the to muh pher kar nikal jaate the. Haalat kuch aisi thi ki agar unme se ek college ki canteen mein hota tha to dusra canteen mein nahi

ghusta tha. Shukar hai ki dono alag alag section mein the. Varna class attend karne mein


bhi problem ho sakti thi.

“Kya ye mujh se koyi badla ley raha hai ?” Zarina sochti hai.

Achaanak zarina ki nazar kitchen ke darvaaje ke paas rakhe flower pot par padi. Ushne dheere se flower pot uthaaya.

Adiya ko apne peeche kuch aahat mahsus huyi to ushne turant peeche mud kar dekha. Jab

tak vo kuch samajh paata... zarina ne ushke sar par flower pot de maara.

Aditya ke sar se khun bahne laga aur vo ladkhada kar gir gaya.

"tumhaari himmat kaise huyi mere saath aisi harkat karne ki." zarina cheellaayi.

Zarina fauran darvaaje ki taraf bhaagi aur darvaaja khol kar bhaag kar apne ghar ke baahar aa gayi.

Par ghar ke baahar pahunchte hi ushke kadam ruk gaye. Ushki aankhe jo dekh rahi thi

ushe ush par vishvaas nahi ho raha tha. Vo thar-thar kaanpne lagi.

Uske adh-jale ghar ke baahar uske abba aur ammi ki laash thi aur ghar ke darvaaje par uski choti bahan fatima ki laash nirvastra padi thi. gali main

charo taraf kuch aisa hi maahol tha.

Zarina ko kuch samajh nahi aata. uski aankho ke aage andhera chaane lagta hai aur vo phoot-phoot kar rone lagti hai.

Itne mein aditya bhi vaha aa jaata hai.

Zarina use dekh kar bhaagne lagti hai….par aditya teji se aage badh kar uska muh daboch leta hai aur use ghasit kar vaapis apne ghar mein laakar darvaaja band karne lagta hai.

Zarina ko sofe ke paas rakhi hokey nazar aati hai.Vo bhaag kar use utha kar aditya ke pet mein maarti hai aur teji se darvaaja kholne lagti hai. par aditya jaldi se sambhal kar use

pakad leta hai


“paagal ho gayi ho kya… kaha ja rahi ho.. dange ho rahe hain baahar. Insaan… bhediye ban chuke hain.. tumhe dekhte hi noch-noch kar kha jaayenge”

zarina ye sun kar hairaani se puchti hai, “d.d..dange !! kaise dange?”

“Ek group ne train phoonk di…….. aur dusre group ke log ab ghar-baar phoonk rahe

hain… charo taraf…ha-ha-kaar macha hai…khun ki holi kheli ja rahi hai”

“Mere ammi,abba aur fatima ne kisi ka kya bigaada tha” ---zarina kahte huve subak padti hai

“bigaada to un logo ne bhi nahi tha jo train mein the…..bas yu samajh lo ki

karta koyi hai aur bharta koyi… sab raajnitik shadyantra hai”

“tum mujhe yaha kyon laaye, kya mujh se badla ley rahe ho ?”

“jab pata chala ki train phoonk di gayi to main bhi apna aapa kho baitha tha”

“haan-haan minority ke khilaaf aapa khona bada aasaan hai”

“mere ma-baap us train ki aag mein jhulas kar maare gaye, zarina...koyi bhi apna aapa kho dega.”

“to meri ammi aur abba kaun sa zeenda bache hain.. aur fatima ka to rape huva

lagta hai. ho gaya na tumhaara hisaab baraabar… ab mujhe jaane do” zarina rote huve kahti hai.

“Ye sab maine nahi kiya samjhi… tumhe yaha utha laaya kyonki fatima ka rape dekha nahi gaya mujhse….abhi raat ke 2 baje hain aur baahar curfew laga hai.

Maahol theek hone par jahaan chaahe chali jaana”

“Mujhe tumhaara ahsaan manjoor nahi…main apni jaan de dungi”

Zarina kitchen ki taraf bhaagti hai aur ek chaaku utha kar apni kalaayi ki nuss kaatne lagti hai

Aditya bhaag kar uske haath se chaaku cheen-ta hai aur uske muh par jor se ek thappad

maarta hai.


Zarina thappad ki chot se ladkhada kar gir jaati hai aur phoot-phoot kar rone lagti hai.

“Chup ho jao.. baahar har taraf vahasi darinde ghum rahe hain.. kisi ko shak ho gaya ki

tum yaha ho to sab gadbad ho jaayega”

“kya ab main ro bhi nahi sakti… kya bacha hai mere paas ab.. ye aansu hi hain.. inhe to bah jaane do”

Aditya kuch nahi kahta aur bina kuch kahe kitchen se baahar aa jaata hai.

zarina rote huve vaapis ushi kamre mein ghuss jaati hai jishmein ushki kuch der pahle aankh khuli thi.

-----------------------

Agli subah zarina uth kar baahar aati hai to dekhti hai ki aditya khaana bana raha hai.

Aditya zarina ko dekh kar puchta hai, “kya khaaogi ?”

“Zahar ho to de do”

“Vo to nahi hai.. tute-phute paraanthe bana raha hun….yahi khaane

padenge..….aaoouch…” aditya ki ungli jal gayi.

“Kya huva…. ?”

“Kuch nahi ungli zal gayi”

“Kya pahle kabhi tumne khaana banaaya hai ?”

“Nahi, par aaj…banaana padega.. ab vaise bhi mammi ke bina mujhe khud hi banaana padega ”

Zarina kuch soch kar kahti hai, “hato, main banaati hun”

“Nahi main bana lunga”


“Hat bhi jao…jab banaana nahi aata to kaise bana loge”

“Ek shart par hatunga”

“Haan bolo”

“Tum bhi khaaogi na?”

“Mujhe bhook nahi hai”

“Main samajh sakta hun zarina, tumhaari tarah maine bhi apno ko khoya hai. Par zeenda rahne ke liye hamein kuch to khaana hi padega”

“Kiske liye zeenda rahun, kaun bacha hai mera?”

“Kal main bhi yahi soch raha tha. Par jab tumhe yaha laaya to jaise mujhe jeene

ka koyi maksad mil gaya”

“Par mera to koyi maksad nahi………”

“Hai kyon nahi? Tum is dauraan mujhe acha-acha khana khilaane ka maksad bana lo… vakt kat jaayega. Curfew khulte hi main tumhe suraksit jaha tum kaho vaha pahuncha

dunga” – aditya halka sa muskura kar bola

Zarina bhi uski baat par halka sa muskura di aur boli, “chalo hato ab…. mujhe banaane do”

“Kya main kisi tarah delhi pahunch sakti hun, meri mausi hai vaha?”

“Chinta mat karo, maahol theek hote hi sabse pehla kaam yahi karunga”

Zarina aditya ki aur dekh kar sochti hai, “kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki jish insaan se main baat bhi karna pasand nahi karti, uske liye kabhi khaana


banaaungi”

Aditya bhi man mein sochta hai, “kya khel hai kismat ka? jish ladki ko dekhna bhi pasand nahi karta tha, uske liye aaj kuch bhi karne ko taiyaar hun. Shaayad

yahi insaaniyat hai”

Dheere-dheere vakt beet-ta hai aur dono ache dost bante jaate hain. Ek dusre ke prati unke dil mein jo nafrat thi vo na jaane kaha gaayab ho jaati hai.

Vo 24 ghante ghar mein rahte hain. Kabhi pyar se baat karte hain kabhi takraar se. kabhi

hanste hain aur kabhi rote hain. Vo dono vakt ki kadvaahat ko bhulaane ki puri kosish kar rahe hain.

Ek din aditya zarina se kahta hai, “tum chali jaaogi to na jaane kaise rahunga

main yaha. Tumhaare saath ki aadat si ho gayi hai. Kaun mere liye acha-acha khaana banaayega. Samajh nahi aata ki main tab kya karunga?”

“Tum shaadi kar lena, sab theek ho jaayega”

“Aur phir bhi tumhaari yaad aayi to?”

“To mujhe phone kiya karna”

Zarina ko bhi aditya ke saath ki aadat ho chuki hai. Vo bhi vaha se jaane ke khyaal se pareshaan to ho jaati hai, par kahti kuch nahi.

After one month: --

“Zarina, utho din mein bhi shoti rahti ho”

“Kya baat hai? shone do na”

“Curfew khul gaya hai. Main train ki ticket book kara kar aata hun. tum kisi


baat ki chinta mat karna, main jaldi hi aa jaaunga”

“Apna khyaal rakhna aditya”

“Theek hai…sho jao tum kumbhkaran kahin ki…he..he..he….”

“Vaapis aao main tumhe bataati hun” --- zarina aditya ke upar takiya fenk kar bolti hai

Aditya hanste huve vaha se chala jaata hai.

Jab vo vaapis aata hai to zarina ko kitchen mein paata hai

“Bas 5 din aur…phir tum apni mausi ke ghar par hogi”

“5 din aur ka matlab? ……Mujhe kya yaha koyi takleef hai?”

“To ruk jao phir yahin…agar koyi takleef nahi hai to”

Zarina aditya ke chehre ko bade pyar se dekhti hai. Uska dil bhaavuk ho uthta

hai

“Kya tum chaahte ho ki main yahin ruk jaaun?”

“nahi-nahi main to majaak kar raha tha baba. Aisa chaahta to ticket kyon book karaata?” -- ye kah kar aditya vaha se chal deta hai. Use pata bhi nahi chalta

ki uski aankhe kab nam ho gayi.

Idhar zarina man hi man kahti hai, “tum rok kar to dekho main tumhe chhod kar kahin nahi jaaungi”

Vo 5 din un dono ke bahut bhaari gujarte hain. Aditya zarina se kuch kahna chaahta hai,

par kuch kah nahi paata. Zarina bhi baar-baar aditya ko kuch kahne ke liye khud ko taiyar karti hai par aditya ke saamne aane par uske hont sil jaate hain.

Jish din zarina ko jaana hota hai, us se peechli raat dono raat bhar baate karte rahte hain. Kabhi college ke dino ki, kabhi movies ki aur kabhi cricket


ki. kisi na kisi baat ke bahaane vo ek dusre ke saath baithe rahte hain. man hi man dono chaahte hain ki kaash kisi tarah baat pyar ki ho to acha ho. Par billi ke gale mein ghanti baandhe kaun ? Dono pyar ko dil mein dabaaye, duniya bhar ki baate karte rahte hain.

Subah 6 baje ki train thi. vo dono 4 baje tak baate karte rahe. Baate karte-karte unki

aankh lag gayi aur dono baithe-baithe sofe par hi sho gaye.

koyi 5 baje Aditya ki aankh khulti hai. use apne paanv par kuch mahsus hota hai

Vo aankh khol kar dekhta hai ki zarina ne uske pairo par maatha tika rakha hai

“Arey!!!!!! ye kya kar rahi ho?”

“apne khuda ki ibaadat kar rahi hun, tum na hote to main aaj hargiz jeenda na hoti”

“Main kaun hota hun zarina, sab us bhagvaan ki kripa hai, chalo jaldi taiyaar ho jao, 5 baj gaye hain, hum kahin late na ho jaayein”

Zarina vaha se uth kar chal deti hai aur man hi man kahti hai, “mujhe rok lo aditya”

“Kya tum ruk nahi sakti zarina...bahut acha hota jo hum hamesa ish ghar mein ek saath

rahte.” aditya bhi man mein kahta hai.

Ek anokha bandhan dono ke beech jud chuka hai.

----------------------

5:30 baje aditya, zarina ko apni bike par railway station ley aata hai.

Zarina ko rail mein baitha kar aditya kahta hai, “ek surprise dun”

“Kya? ”


“Main bhi tumhaare saath aa raha hun”

“Sach!!!!”

“Aur nahi to kya… main kya aise maahol mein tumhe akele delhi bhejunga”

“Tum insaan ho ki khuda…kuch samajh nahi aata”

“Ek maamuli sa insaan hun jo tumhe…………”

“Tumhe… kya?” zarina ne pyar se pucha

“Kuch nahi”

Aditya man mein kahta hai, “……….jo tumhe bahut pyar karta hai”

Jo baat zarina sun-na chaahti hai, vo baat aditya man mein soch raha hai, aisa ajeeb pyar hai ushka.

Train chalti hai. Aditya aur zarina khub baate karte hain….baato-baato mein kab vo delhi

pahunch jaate hain….unhe pata hi nahi chalta

Train se utarte vakt zarina ka dil bhaari ho uthta hai. Vo sochti hai ki pata nahi ab vo aditya se kabhi mil bhi paayegi ya nahi.

“Arey soch kya rahi ho…utro jaldi” aditya ne kaha.

Zarina ko hosh aata hai aur vo bhaari kadmo se train se utarti hai.

“Chalo ab silampur ke liye auto karte hain” aditya ne ek auto waale ko ishaara kiya.

“Kya tum mujhe mausi ke ghar tak chod kar aaoge?”


“Aur nahi to kya… isi bahaane tumhaara saath thoda aur mil jaayega”

Zarina ye sun kar muskura deti hai.

Aditya ke ishaare se ek auto waala ruk jaata hai aur dono usme baith kar silampur ki taraf chal padte hain.

Zarina raaste bhar kinhi gahre khayaalo mein khoyi rahti hai. aditya bhi chup rahta hai.

Ek ghante baad Auto wala silampur ki market mein auto rok kar puchta hai, “kaha jaana hai… koyi pata-address hai kya?”

“Hmm…..bhaiya yahi utaar do. Aditya, mausi ka ghar saamne wali gali mein hai” zarina ne kaha.

"shukar hai tum kuch to boli." aditya ne kaha.

"tum bhi to chup baithe the moni baba ban kar...kya tum kuch nahi bol sakte the."

"acha-acha ab utro bhi...auto waala shun raha hai." dono ke beech takraar shuru ho jaati

hai.

Zarina auto se utarti hai. "aditya i am sorry par tum kuch bol hi nahi rahe the."

"theek hai koyi baat nahi. Shaanti se apne ghar jaao...mujhe bhul mat jaanta."

"tumhe bhulna bhi chaahun to bhi bhula nahi paaungi"

"dekha ho gayi na apni baate shuru." aditya ne muskuraate huve kaha.

Zarina ne ush gali ki aur dekha jishme ushki mausi ka ghar tha aur gahri saans li. "chalu main phir"

Thodi der dono mein khaamosi bani rahti hai. Aditya zarina ko dekhta rahta hai. "jaate


jaate kuch kahogi nahi" aditya ne kaha.

“Aditya ab kya kahun…tumhaara sukriya karun bhi to kaise, samajh nahi aata”

“Sukriya us khuda ka karo jisne hame insaan banaaya hai…. mera sukriya kyon karogi?”

“Kabhi khaana bura bana ho to maaf karna, aur jaldi shaadi kar lena, tum akele nahi rah paaoge”

“theek hai..theek hai….ab rulaaogi kya.. chalo jao apni mausi ke ghar”

“Theek hai aditya apna khyaal rakhna aur haan maine jo us din tumhaare sar par flower pot maara tha uske liye mujhe maaf kar dena”

“Aur us hokey ka kya?”

Zarina Sharma kar muskura padti hai aur kahti hai, “haan uske liye bhi”

“Theek hai baba jao ab…. log hamein ghur rahe hain”

Zarina bhaari kadmo se mud kar chal padti hai aur aditya use jaate huve dekhta rahta hai.

Vo ushe peeche se awaaj dene ki koshis karta hai par ushke muh se kuch bhi nahi nikal paata.

Zarina gali mein ghuss kar peeche mud kar aditya ki taraf dekhti hai. Dono ek dusre ko

ek dard bhari muskaan ke saath bye karte hain. Unki dard bhari muskaan mein unka unkaha pyar ubhar aata hai. Par dono abhi bhi ish baat se anjaan hain ki vo na chaahte

huve bhi ek anokhe bandhan mein bandh chuke hain. Pyar ke bandhan mein.

Jab zarina gali mein ojhal ho jaati hai to aditya mud kar bhaari man se chal padta hai.

“Pata nahi Kaise ji paaunga zarina ke bina main? Kaash! Ek baar ushe apna dil cheer kar


deekha pata…Kya vo bhi mujhe pyar karti hai? Lagta to hai. Par kuch kah nahi sakte”aditya chalte-chalte soch raha hai.

Achaanak use peeche se awaaj aati hai

“Aditya!!! Ruko….”

Aditya mud kar dekhta hai.

Ushke peeche zarina khadi thi. Ushki aankho se aanshu bah rahe the.

“Arey tum ro rahi ho… tumhe to apne, apno ke paas jaate vakt khus hona chaahiye”

“Tum se jyada mera apna kaun ho sakta hai aditya… mujhe khud se dur mat karo”

Aditya ki bhi aankhe chalak uthti hain aur vo daud kar zarina ko gale laga kar kahta hai, “kyon ja rahi thi phir tum mujhe chhod kar?”

“Tum mujhe rok nahi sakte the?” zarina ne gusse mein pucha.

“Rok to leta par yakin nahi tha ki tum ruk jaaogi”

“Tum kah kar to dekhte” zarina subakte huve boli.

“Ohh…zarina I Love You…”

“pata nahi kyon.... but I Love you too aditya” zarina ne kaha.

“Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ki vaapis kaise jaaunga”

“Aur main soch rahi thi ki tumhaare bina kaise ji paaungi”

“Acha huva tum vaapis aa gayi varna delhi se meri laash hi jaati”


“Aisa mat kaho… main vaapis kyon nahi aati. Ammi,abba aur fatima ko to kho chuki hun, tumhe nahi kho sakti aditya”

Unhe us pal Kisi baat ka hosh nahi rahta. Pyar aur hosh shaayad muskil se saath chalte

hain.

“Pata hai…main tumhe bilkul like nahi karta tha”

“Main bhi tumse bahut nafrat karti thi”

“Aisa kaise ho gaya? Ye sab sapna sa lagta hai” aditya ne kaha

“Ye to pata nahi…par mujhe hamesha apne paas rakhna aditya, tumhaare bina main nahi ji sakti”

“Tum meri jeendagi ho zarina, mere paas nahi to aur kaha rahogi”

“Par ab hum jaayenge kaha…. mujhe nahi lagta ki hum dono us nafrat ke maahol mein

rah paayenge?”

“Chinta mat karo, pyar huva hai to is pyar ke liye koyi na koyi sukun bhara aasiyana bhi jaroor mil jaayega”

dono haatho mein haath ley kar chal padte hain kisi anjaani raah par jiski

manjil ka bhi unhe nahi pata. Pyar ki raah par manjil ki vaise parvaah bhi kaun karta hai.

Jis tarah nadi pahaad ko cheer kar apna raasta bana leti hai. Usi tarah pyar bhi is kathor duniya mein apne liye raaste nikaal hi leta hai. Tabhi shaayad

itni nafrat ke baavjud bhi duniya mein pyar… aaj bhi zeenda hai.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Aditya aur zarina ek dusre ka haath thaam kar chal diye. Par unhe jaana kaha tha ye vo taiy nahi kar paaye the. Naya naya pyar huva tha vo dono abhi bas ushmein khoye the.


Jeendagi ki kathore sachaeeyon ka saamna unhe abhi karna tha.

“vaapis chale kya zarina?”

“tumhe kya lagta hai log hamein vaha jeene denge. Main vaha nahi rah paaungi ab.”

“par yaha hamaara kuch nahi hai. Ghar baar sab gujrat mein hi hai. Yaha pair jamaana mushkil hoga.”

“hum koshis to kar hi sakte hain.”

“theek hai aisa karte hain philhaal kishi hotel mein chalte hain aur thande deemag se

sochte hain ki aage kya karna hai.”

“haan ye theek rahega. Main bahut thak bhi gayi hun. Bahut joro ki bhuk bhi lagi hai.”

“chalo pahle khana hi khaaya jaaye. Phir hotel chalenge.”

“haan bilkul chalo.”

Dono ek restaurant mein baith jaate hain aur shaanti se bhojan karte hain.

“daal makhni ka koyi jawaab nahi. north india mein bahut popular hai ye.”

“haan achi bani hai. Main ish se bhi achi bana sakti hun.”

“tumne ghar to kabhi banaayi nahi.”

“seekhungi na janaab tabhi na banaaungi. Mujhe yakin hai main ish se acha bana lungi.”

Baato baato mein khana ho jaata hai aur dono ab ek hotel ki talaas mein nikalte hain.

“yaha shaayad hi koyi acha hotel mile. Kahi aur chalte hain.” Zarina ne kaha.

“tumhe kaise pata.”

“janaab meri mausi ke yaha aati rahti hun main, pata kaise na hoga.”

“oh haan bilkul. Chalo kahi aur chalte hain.” Aditya ne kaha.


Dono auto pakad kar laxminagar pahunchte hain aur vaha ek hotel mein kamra le lete hain. Raat ghir aayi hai aur pyar ke do panchi raat mein aashiyana pa kar khus hain.

Jab aditya aur zarina kamre ki taraf ja rahe hote hain to zarina kahti hai, “tumhe nahi

lagta ki hamein do kamro ki jaroorat thi.”

“kyon ab tum kya mujhse alag rahogi. Ish pyar ka koyi matlab nahi hai kya tumhaare liye.”

“pyar huva hai shaadi nahi…he..he…he.” zarina ne hanste huve kaha.

“shaadi bhi jald ho jaayegi. Tum kaho to abhi kar lete hain.”

“nahi…nahi main majaak kar rahi thi. Chalo ander.” Zarina ne kaha.

Room mein aate hi zarina bistar par pasar gayi aur boli, “ye bistar mera hai. Tum apna

intezaam dekh lo.”

“bahut khub …main kya fars par letunga.” Aditya bhi zarina ke baju mein aa kar late gaya.

Zarina fauran bistar se uth gayi.

“pyar ka matlab ye nahi hai ki hum ek saath shoyenge. Main sofe par ja rahi hun. Tum

chain se leto yaha huh.”

“arey ruko main majaak kar raha tha. Tum leto yaha. Sofe par main sho jaaunga.” Aditya bistar se uth jaata hai.

“pakka…phir mat kahna ki maine bistar hatya liya.” Zarina mushkuraayi.

“mera dil hatya liya tumne bistar to bahut choti cheez hai. Jaao aish karo.” Aditya bhi

mushkuraya.

Aisa pyar tha unka. Pyar aur takraar dono saath saath chal rahe the. Jab pyar hota hai to pyar ko tarah tarah se aajmaaya bhi jaata hai. Aisa hi kuch zarina aur aditya ke pyar ke saath hone wala tha. Vo dono to ish baat se bilkul anzaan the. Naya naya pyar huva tha. Aur naya pyar aksar sochne samajhne ki shakti khatam kar deta hai. Shurur hi kuch aisa


hota hai pyar ka. Lekin aise naazuk vakt mein thodi si bhi galat fahmi ya takraav pyar ko minto mein kadvaahat mein badal sakti hai. Pyar itna gahra to hota nahi hai ki sambhal paaye. Ishliye naya naya pyar aksar shuruvaat mein hi bikhar jaata hai. Abhi tak to sab

theek chal raha lekin agle din aditya aur zarina ke pyar ka imtehaan tha. jishme paas hona bahut jaroori tha.

Agle din dono bade pyar se uthe. Good morning wish kiya. Nahaaye dhoye. Breakfast

kiya aur phir aage ka sochne lage.

“aditya hamaari padhayi ka kya hoga.”

“tabhi to main vaapis jaane ki soch raha tha. Ab to shaanti hai vaha.”

“lekin main agar vaha tumhaare saath rahungi to log tarah tarah ki baate karenge.”

“to kya huva hum shaadi karke rahenge ek saath yu hi thoda rahenge.”

“lekin vaha abhi bhi tanaav bana huva hai. Aise mein hamaare rishte ko koyi nahi samjhega.”

“phir aisa karte hain ki pahle padhaayi puri karte hain. Phir aage ka sochte hain.”

“main kaha rahungi. Mera ghar to buri tarah jal chuka hai. Aur vaha koyi aur nahi hai

jishke paas main ruk paaun.”

“hostel hain na college ka dikkat kya hai.”

“oh haan ye baat to maine sochi hi nahi. haan main hostel mein rah sakti hun.”

“chalo chodo ye sab. Chalo ghum kar aate hain kahi. Aate huve vaapsi ki train ka ticket bhi book karva lenge.”

“kahi hum jaldbaaji mein to faisla nahi le rahe.”

“faisla to hamein lena hi hai. Mujhe ish se behtar raasta nahi lagta. Tum kuch sujha sakti

ho to bolo.”

“haan vaise hamaari padhayi ke lihaaz se ye theek hai…chalo kaha ghumne chaloge” Zarina ne kaha


“laal kila nahi dekha maine ab tak chalo vahi chalte hain.” Aditya ne kaha.

“maine dekha hai ek baar. Tumhaare saath dekhne mein aur maja aayega chalo.”

dono laal kila ghumne nikal pade. Jab vo laal kile se baahar aaye to dono ko joro ki bhuk

lag chuki thi.

“aditya chalo ab khana khaaya jaaye. Ek restauran hai yahi paas mein vaha har tarah ka khana milta hai. Chalo.”

Aditya aur zarina ek riksa le kar ush reastaurant par pahunchte hain. Lekin restauran ko dekhte hi aditya soch mein pad jaata hai. Restaurant mein veg aur non-veg dono tarah ka khana tha. aditya tha pandit ishliye vo thoda soch mein pad gaya. Lekin zarina ki khaatir

restaurant mein ghuss gaya.

“zarina tum order do main wash room ho kar aata hun.”

“kya loge tum ye to bataate jaao.”

“manga lo kuch bhi.”

Zarina ye to jaanti hi thi ki aditya vegitarian hai. Ushne ushke liye veg khana order kar diya aur apne liye chicken kadhaayi aur tandoori naan order kar diya. Yahi se saari

musibat shuru hone wali thi. Aditya jab tak vaapis aaya tab tak ushka khana aa chuka tha. jaise hi aditya baitha zarina ka order bhi aa gaya. Jab waiter ne chicken kadhaayi table

par rakhi to aditya ki to aankhe phati rah gayi. Ushka man kharaab ho gaya.

“ye tumne order kiya hai.”

“haan…ye meri favorite dish hai.”

“uff…main yaha ek minute bhi nahi baith sakta.” Aditya wash room ki taraf bhaagta hai. Ushe ulti aa jaati hai. Pandit hone ke kaaran vo hamesa non veg cheezo se dur hi raha tha.

ushke saath aisa hona swabhaavik hi tha. Aditya vaapis aaya aur bola, “utho main yaha khana nahi khaaunga.”

“kya ho gaya aditya kuch bataao to sahi. Baitho to.”


“ye non veg meri aankho ke aage se hata lo. Mujhe glaani hoti hai. Kaise kha sakti ho tum ek jeev ko. Tumhe glaani nahi hoti”

Zarina ne chicken kadhaayi par palet rakh di aur boli, “kaisi baat kar rahe ho. Ishme

glaani ki kya baat hai.”

aditya baith gaya aur bola, “main ye sab bardaast nahi kar sakta. Tumhe ye sab chodna hoga.”

“kyon chodna hoga. Ye bhojan hai aur kuch nahi. I like it.”

“par ye kishi ki hathya karke banta hai. Ye paap hai.”

“pata nahi kaun si duniya mein ji rahe ho tum. maine to bahut pandato ko khaate dekha

hai non veg.”

“khaate honge par main bilkul nahi khaata.”

“to mat khaao tum mujhe nahi rok sakte.”

“tum samajhti kyon nahi. apne khaane ke liye kya kishi jeev ki hatya theek hai.”

“mr aditya pandey ek baat bataao. Kya anaaz mein jaan nahi hoti. Kya paddy zeenda nahi hoti. Jish ped se fruit tode jaate hain kya vo jeenda nahi hain. Mars par ghaas ka ek tinka bhi nahi ugta. Ek ghaas ka tinka bhi utna hi jeenda hai jitna ki chicken. Ab bataao kya

kuch galat kaha maine.”

“mujhe nahi pata lekin mujhe ye sab bardaast nahi hai.”

“ye tumhaari problem hai meri nahi.” zarina ne kaha.

Pyar badi jaldi apna haq jataane lagta hai. Yahi baat aksar takraav ka kaaran ban jaati hai. Aditya zarina par haq to jata raha tha par ushne galat vakt chun liya tha. zarina ke liye

apne bhojan ko defend karna swaabhaavik tha. ye baat aditya ki samajh mein nahi aa rahi thi.

Zarina ki bhi galti thi. Vo ye nahi samajh pa rahi thi ki aditya ka reaction natural hai. Ushe bahas mein padne ki bajaaye thoda shaanti se kaam lena chaahiye tha. lekin ye

baate kahni asaan hain aur karni mushkil.


Aditya fauran uth kar baahar aa gaya. Aditya ko saamne hi hanumaan ji ka mandir

deekhaayi diya aur vo mandir mein ghuss gaya.Zarina ko itna bura laga ki vo bhi bina khana khaaye bill pay karke baahar aa gayi. Baahar aakar aditya ko na paakar ushki

aankho mein khun utar aaya.

“bas itna hi pyar tha ishe mujhse. Chala gaya chod ke mujhe. Main aise insaan ke saath jeendagi nahi beeta sakti.”

Gusse mein aksar hum sahi faisla nahi kar paate aur apni sochne samajhne ki taakat kho baithte hain. Zarina itne gusse mein thi ki ushne turant mausi ke ghar jaane ka faisla kar liya. Ushne auto pakda aur silampur ki taraf chal padi. Halaanki ye baat aur thi ki raaste

bhar ushki aankhe tapakti rahi.

Aditya soch raha tha ki zarina ander chain se baith kar khana kha rahi hogi. Ishliye vo mandir se araam se nikla. Ushne restaurant ke baahar se hi jhaank kar dekha. Zarina vaha hoti to deekhti. Ushne ander aa kar pata kiya. Ushe bataaya gaya ki vo to khana kha kar chali gayi. Ab waiter bahut busy rahte hain. Unhe kya matlab kishi ne khana khaaya ya nahi. ushke muh se nikal gaya ki vo khana kha kar chali gayi. Aditya ke sheene par to

jaise saanp late gaya.

Ushne baahar aa kar dekha lekin zarina kahi deekhaayi nahi di. “ye pyar itni jaldi bhikhar jaayega maine socha nahi tha.”

Aditya auto lekar hotel ki taraf chal diya. Ushe ummeed thi ki zarina ushe hotel mein hi milegi. Lekin hotel pahunch kar vo dang rah gaya. Zarina vaha hoti to milti. Vo to apni

mausi ke ghar pahunch bhi gayi thi aur vaha ushka bade joro ka swaagat bhi ho raha tha.

Aditya bechaara akela bistar par late gaya. “shaayad vo chali gayi apni mausi ke yaha. Agar yahi sab karna tha to kal mere saath aayi hi kyon thi. Kal hi chali jaati. Chalo acha hi huva. Ushke saath nibhaana vaise bhi mushkil tha.” ye baate aditya soch to raha tha

lekin sochte sochte ushki anjaane mein hi aankhe bhar aayi thi.

“zarina kyon kiya tumne mere saath aisa. Tum to aisi nahi thi. Mujhe chod kar chali gayi. Kya yahi pyar tha tumhaara. Main tumhe kabhi maaf nahi karunga.”

Zarina aur aditya dono ko hi pyar ne badi gahri chot di thi. Idhar aditya ro raha tha udhar zarina ki bhi haalat kharaab thi. Ushe logo ne gher rakha tha. ush se pucha ja raha tha ki vo dango se kaise bachi. Zarina aisi haalat mein nahi thi ki kuch bhi kahe. Ushka to dil


bahut bhaari ho raha tha. vo kayi baar wash room mein aakar chuchaap subak subak kar royi.

Ish tarah pyar ke imtehaan mein aditya aur zarina ka pyar fail ho gaya tha. aur ish failure ke baad dono ka hi bahut bura haal tha. dono ke dilo mein ek dusre ke liye nafrat ubharne lagi thi lekin aankhe thi ki pyar mein aansu baha rahi thi. Pyar bhi ajeeb khel khelta hai.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Pyar ko samajhna bahut mushkil kaam hai. Ye baat vahi samajh sakte hain jo kabhi pyar ke pachde mein pade hon. Zarina chali to aayi thi gusse mein apni mausi ke ghar lekin

ushke dil par aditya se dur ho kar jo beet rahi thi ushe sirf vo hi jaanti thi. Aisa nahi tha ki naraajgi door ho gayi thi ushki. Vo to jyon ki tyon barkaraar thi. lekin phir bhi rah-rah kar

vo aditya ki yaadon mein kho jaati thi.

Mausi ke yaha zarina ko gumsum dekh kar sabhi pareshaan the. Unhe lag raha tha ki zarina jaroor kuch chupa rahi hai. Log andaaja laga rahe the ki shaayad dango ke dauraan

kuch anhoni ho gayi hogi ushke saath, jishe vo chupa rahi hai. Ishliye logo ne ush se sawaal puchne band kar diye. Unhe kya pata tha ki zarina ki chupi ka kaaran aditya hai.

Zarina koshis to khub kar rahi thi hansne ki mushkuraane ki lekin baar baar ushka Dil

bhaari ho uthta tha.

“beta tu kuch bol kyon nahi rahi hai. Jab se aayi hai gumshum si hai. Hamein bata to sahi ki kya baat hai.” Zarina ki mausi ne pucha.

“mausi kuch nahi bas vaise hi pareshaan hun.” zarina ne kaha.

“ammi aur abba ki yaad aa rahi hogi hai na. fatima ka shun kar bahut dukh huva mujhe.

Allaa unhe maaf nahi karenge jinhone fatima ke saath ye sab kiya.”

“mujhe vo sab yaad na dilaao mausi. Badi mushkil se bhuli hun main vo sab.” Bolte-bolte zarina ki aankho mein aansu utar aaye.

Mausi ne zarina ko gale se laga liya aur boli, “meri pyari bachi…chal chod ye udaasi

kuch khaa pee le.”


“mujhe bhook nahi hai mausi abhi.” Zarina ne kaha.

“chal theek hai. Jab teri icha ho tab kha lena….theek hai. Thoda araam kar le, bahut thak

gayi hogi. Tere liye vahi kamra taiyaar karva diya hai jaha tu har baar aa kar rahti hai…theek hai.”

“shukriya mausi” zarina mushkura di.

Zarina kamre mein aa kar bistar par gir gayi aur phir aansuvo ka vo thoofaan utha ki

thamey nahi thama. “kyon kiya aditya tumne aisa mere saath. Bahut pyar karti hun tumhe mein…phir aakhir kyon”

Ab zarina ke paas aditya to tha nahi jo koyi jawaab deta. Pyar ke gam mein dubi huyi zarina rote huve sawaal pe sawaal kiye ja rahi thi jinka ushe koyi jawaab nahi mil raha

tha. Bahut rula raha tha pyar bechaari ko.

Aditya ki bhi haalat kam naazuk nahi thi. Pet mein chunhe kood rahe the lekin majaal hai ki muh pe khane ka naam aaye. Pyar bhook pyas sab bhula deta hai. Vo bhuke pet hotel ke bistar par pada huva karvate badal raha tha. pata nahi ushe aisa kyon lag raha tha ki

abhi darvaaja khulega aur zarina ander aayegi. Jab bhi ushe apne kamre ke baahar aahat shunaayi deti to vo fauran uth kar dekhta.vo daaye-baaye har taraf bade gaur se dekhta. Ab zarina vaha hoti to deekhti. Har baar niraash aur hataash ho kar aditya vaapis apne bistar par gir jaata. Haalat to aditya ki bhi bilkul zarina jaisi hi thi bas fark itna tha ki

ushki aankhe itni nahi baras rahi thi jeetni ki zarina ki. Haan ye baat jaroor thi ki ushki aankho mein har vakt nami bani huyi thi. Aansu bhi tapakte the rah-rah kar jab dil bahut

bhaavuk ho uthta tha.

“zarina tumhe mujhe yu chod kar nahi jaana chaahiye tha. mere baare mein tumne ek baar bhi nahi socha. Kitna pyar karta hun tumhe aur phir bhi tumne aisa kiya. Tumhe

maaf nahi kar paaunga main.” Aditya ne apni aankho ke neeche se aansuvo ki bundo ko punchte huve kaha.

Dheere dheere kab raat ghir aayi pata hi nahi chala. puri raat zarina ko neend nahi aayi.

Aditya bhi sho nahi paaya. Haan aisa hota hai. Pyar kabhi-kabhi neend bhi cheen leta hai. aisi naazuk haalat mein shona vaise bhi naamumkin tha.

Pyar ki ek interesting baat ye bhi hoti hai ki sab naraajgi aur nafrat sirf upar ka deekhava

hoti hai. Dil ki gahraayi mein kuch aisi tadap hoti hai ek dusre ke liye ki ushe shabdo


mein nahi kaha ja sakta. Ye baat koyi pyar karne wala hi samajh sakta hai.

Subah hote hote aditya aur zarina dono ka hi gussa thanda padne laga tha. zarina ne faisla kiya ki vo din nikalte hi hotel jaayegi aur aditya ke gale lag jaayegi aur ush se khub

ladaayi karegi. Bas dikkat ki baat sirf ye thi ki vo ghar se nikle kaise. Koyi ushe akele kahi jaane nahi dega aur kishi ko saath lekar vo aditya ke paas ja nahi sakti thi. Ishliye jaise hi din nikla vo chupchaap ghar se nikal padi. Delhi mein auto to saari raat chalte

hain. Subah subah auto milne mein koyi dikkat nahi huyi.

Par dikkat ye aan padi ki auto wala zarina ko laxminagar ki bajaaye kahi aur hi le aaya. Darasal auto wala naya tha. ushe laxminagar ki location theek se pata nahi thi bas yu hi

apne paise banaane ke chakkar mein chal pada tha andaaje se.

“bhaiya ye kaha le aaye tum mujhe ye laxminagar to nahi lag raha.”

“oh…ye laxminagar nahi hai kya. Galti ho gayi madam”

Auto wale ne dusre auto wale se laxmi nagar ka raasta pucha aur phir auto ko lekar chal pada.

Hotel pahunchte pahunchte subah ke 9 baj gaye. Zarina ne turant auto wale ko paise

pakdaye aur hotel mein ghuss kar seedha apne ush room ki taraf chal padi jishme aditya aur vo ek saath ruke the. Lekin peeche se reception par khadi ek yuvti ne ushe tok diya.

“excuse me madam, aap kaha ja rahi hain.”

Zarina mudi aur boli, “room no 114 mein thahri hun main.”

“oh haan main bhool gayi sorry. Par aapke saath jo the vo ja chuke hain room chod kar.”

“kya?” zarina ke to pairo ke neeche se jaise jameen hi nikal gayi.

“kab gaye vo?”

“bas abhi abhi nikle hain”

“kaha gaye vo?” zarina ka to deemag hi ghum gaya tha.

“madam shaayad aapne theek se shuna nahi. vo check-out karke ja chuke hain. Ab kaha


gaye hain hamein nahi pata.”

Zarina chehra latkaaye huve hotel se baahar aa gayi.

“mera jara sa bhi wait nahi kiya tumne aditya. Kyon pyar kiya maine tumse.” Zarina ki aankhe phir se bhar aayi.

Bada hi ajeeb sa kuch ho raha tha aditya aur zarina ke saath. Zarina hotel pahunch gayi

thi aur aditya silampur. Baat sirf itni thi ki dono galat samay par sahi jagah par the.

Aditya ko zarina ki mausi ka ghar to pata tha nahi. haan bas gali ka pata tha. aditya peeth par beg taange gali mein chakkar laga raha tha. ushne kishi se zarina ki mausi ke ghar ke

baare mein puchne ki jahmat nahi uthaayi. Vo bas baar baar gali ke chakkar laga raha tha.

“kya vo mujhe bhool gayi itni jaldi. Baahar aakar to dekhna chaahiye ushe main kab se

ghum raha hun yaha.”

Aditya ko ek baar bhi ye khyaal nahi aaya ki zarina shaayad hotel gayi ho. Kyonki vo pura din aur puri raat wait karta raha tha zarina ka ishliye shaayad ushe ye khyaal hi nahi

aaya.

Ab vo kishi ka darvaaja khadka kar puche bhi to kya puche. Kya ye puche ki zarina ki mausi ka ghar kaha hai. Zarina ki mausi ka naam pata hota to shaayad baat ban jaati. Aur ye bhi pata nahi tha ki ushke saath bartaav kya hoga agar zarina ki mausi ka ghar mil bhi

gaya to.

“bas samajh le aditya ushe teri koyi kadar nahi hai. Ye pyar khatam ho chuka hai. Kuch nahi bacha ab.” Aditya ne socha.

Aditya bhaari man se gali se baahar ki aur chal diya.

durbhaagya ki baat ye thi ki idhar aditya gali se nikal raha tha aur udhar gali ke dusri taraf se zarina aa rahi thi auto mein baith kar. Dono ek dusre ko dhund rahe the lekin na jaane

kyon mulaakaat nahi ho paayi.

Aditya ne gali se baahar aakar auto pakda. Idhar aditya auto mein baitha, udhar zarina auto se utar kar mausi ke ghar mein vaapis aa gayi.


“main hi bevkoof thi jo nikal padi subah subah ushke liye jo mujhe chod kar ja chuka hai. Itna bedardi niklega ye aditya maine socha nahi tha. ye pyar meri jeendagi ki sabse badi

galti hai.” Zarina sochte huve chal rahi thi.

“zarina beta kaha gayi thi tu itni subah savere hamein to chinta ho rahi thi.” zarina ki mausi ne kaha.

“kahi nahi mausi yahi paas mein hi gayi thi.”

“beta kuch to baat jaroor hai jo tu cheepa rahi hai.”

“kuch nahi hai mausi aapko vaham ho raha hai.”

“jab tera man ho bata dena beta, mujhe to teri bahut chinta ho rahi hai. Chal kuch kha le.”

Khaane ka man to ab bhi nahi tha zarina ka lekin phir bhi mausi ka dil rakhne ke liye

ushne kuch khaa liya.

Aditya seedha railway station pahuncha aur kishi tarah se gujrat ki train ki ticket ka intezaam kiya. Ushe raat ki train ki ticket mili kishi tarah se jugaad karke. Bahut bechain ho raha tha delhi chodne ke khyaal se. vaha ushki zarina jo thi. Par ushe lag raha tha ki

pyar vyar khatam ho chuka hai aur ab vaapis chalne mein hi bhalaayi hai. Jab train platform par pahunchi to vo bade bhaari man se train mein chadha.

Ush vakt zarina apne haath ki lakiro ko dekh rahi thi. “shaayad kishmat mein tumhaara

saath nahi likha tha aditya. Ya phir shaayad saath likha tha par hum nibha nahi paaye. Jo bhi ho tum mujhe yu chod kar chale jaaoge maine socha nahi tha. I hate you.” Aur zarina

ki aankhe phir se bahne lagi.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Aditya pahunch to gaya ghar vaapis gujrat. Lekin ghar ki taraf jaate vakt ushke paanv hi nahi badh rahe the aage. Vo jaanta tha ki zarina ke bina ush ghar mein rahna kitna

mushkil hoga ushke liye. Jab vo ghar mein ghussa to vo manjar ushki aankho mein ghum gaya jab vo zarina ko saath lekar ghar se nikal raha tha railway station ke liye.

Aditya ne beg ek taraf patka aur sofe par gir gaya. Vakt jaise tham sa gaya tha aur jeevan

ki khusiya jaise saath chod gayi thi. Duniya hi ujad gayi thi aditya ki.


Yahi haal kuch zarina ka tha. zarina bhi ush vakt apne room mein bistar par padi thi. Ushka bhi aisa hi haal tha jaise ki sab kuch ujad gaya ho ushka.

Jab mausi kamre mein ghussi to vo fauran uth kar baith gayi. “mausi aap…salam

alekum.”

“salam alekum beta, kuch to bata sab khaireeyat to hai. Tum to hamse kuch bol hi nahi rahi ho. Jab se aayi ho kamre mein padi rahti ho bas.”

Ab zarina bataaye bhi to kaise. Ushki takleef ka kaaran aditya ka pyar tha aur ush pyar ko koyi nahi samajh sakta tha. mausi ko taalne ke liye ushne kaha, “kaaran to aap jaanti hi

hain mausi. Sab kuch kho diya hai maine.”

“allah raham karey meri bachi par. Bahut kuch saha hai tumne zarina. Tumhe zeenda dekh kar jo khusi hamein mili thi vo hum lafzo mein bayaan nahi kar sakte. Ab yahi duva

hai ki allah ka fazal ho tum par.”

“allah shaayad hum se rooth gayein hain mausi. Sab kuch beekhar gaya hai.” Zarina ne kaha.

Mausi zarina ko gale laga leti hai. “Vakt karvat lega beti. Vakt hamesa ek sa nahi

rahta…aao thoda baahar ghum phir lo. Band kamre mein ghutan ho jaati hai baithe baithe.”

“theek hai mausi aap chaliye main aati hun.” Zarina ne kaha.

Bahut koshis ki zarina ne aditya ko bhulaane ki aur ushe apni yaadon se hataane ki. Lekin

jab koyi dil mein bas jaata hai ushe itni asaani se nikaala nahi ja sakta.

Koshis aditya bhi kar raha tha zarina ko bhulaane ki. Lekin ghar ke har kone mein zarina ki yaadein basi thi. Vo ghar mein jaha bhi dekhta ushe zarina ka hi ahsaas rahta. Har kone mein bas zarina hi basi thi jaise. Aur na chaahte huve bhi ushki aankhe nam ho jaati thi.

Bhulaane ki koshis mein ek hafta beet gaya lekin kuch faayda huva nahi. pyar ki tadap, kasak aur meethi se bechaini har vakt barkaraar thi. Dheere dheere vo dono hi ye baat samajhne lage the ki vo dono pyar ke anokhe bandhan mein bandh chuke hain jishe vo

chaah kar bhi nahi taud sakte. Unki har koshis bekaar jo ho rahi thi.

Aur phir ek aisi tadap uthi pyar ki jishne unke pyar ko aur jyada mahka diya. Ek raat aisi


aayi jishmein dono kaagaz aur kalam lekar baith gaye aur kuch likhne ki thaan li. Zarina ko to aditya ka address pata hi tha. aditya ne bhi ghum phir kar kishi tarah zarina ki mausi ka address dhund hi liya. Do cheethiya leekhi ja rahi thi raat ke vakt ek saath. Delhi mein

zarina likh rahi thi aur gujrat mein aditya likh raha tha. haan thoda vakt ka anter tha. zarina raat ke 12 baje likhne baithi thi aur aditya raat ke 2 baje likhne baitha tha.

Agle din chupke se dono ne apni apni cheethiya post kar di. Pahunchne mein 4 din lag gaye. Dono becahain the apni cheethi ka jawaab paane ki liye. Lekin unhe nahi pata tha ki dono ne ek saath cheethi likhi hai aur dono jald hi ek dusre ki cheethi padhne wale

hain.

Pahle aditya ko cheethi mili zarina ki. Ghar mein baitha tha chupchaap muh latkaaye huve jab daakiye ne bell bajaayi ghar ki.

“aditya pandey aap hi ka naam hai.” Daakiye ne pucha.

“ji haan bilkul.” Aditya ne kaha.

“yaha sign kar dijiye, speed post aayi hai aapke naam.”

Aditya ne sigh kiye aur daakiye ne cheethi aditya ko pakda di. Jab aditya ne cheethi ke peeche bhejne wale ka naam dekha to aankho mein vo ronak aa gayi ushke ki vo jor se

cheellaya “zarina!”

Daakiye ke bhi kaan phat gaye. Vo sar hilaata huva chala gaya.

Aditya ne fauran cheethi ko leefaafe se nikaala aur sofe par baith kar padhne laga. Cheethi ish parakaar thi :-

“mere pyare aditya,

Tum chale gaye jara si baat par mujhe chod kar. Kyon kiya aisa tumne. Kish haal mein hun main yaha kya tumhe khabar bhi hai. Koyi din aisa nahi jaata jab tumhaare liye aansu nahi bahaati. Har pal tumhaare liye tadapti rahti hun. Tum to shaayad mujhe bhool gaye

honge. Main tumhaare liye paapi jo hun. Tumne ek moka bhi nahi diya mujhe kuch kahne ka aur chale gaye. Dil par kya beeti hai kah nahi sakti. Ye cheethi tumhe likh rahi hun kyonki apne dil ke haatho majboor ho gayi hun. Ush din ladaayi ke baad main bhi


fauran khana khaaye bina baahar aa gayi thi. Bahut dhunda tumhe par tum to ja chuke the. Kya yahi pyar tha tumhaara. Main kya karti, mausi ke ghar aana pada mujhe. Agle din bhi main subah subah jaise-taise auto lekar hotel pahunchi. Lekin tum vaha se bhi

nikal gaye check out karke. Mera intezaar bhi nahi kiya tumne. Khun ke aansu royi hun main tum samajh nahi sakte. Badi mushkil se vaapis aayi thi mausi ke ghar. Man to kar

raha tha ki mar jaaun kahi jaakar par ish ummeed mein vaapis aa gayi ki kya pata tum mil jaao kahi. Tumhe to deekhaayi thi mausi ki gali maine. Agar pyar karte mujhse to mujhe

dhund hi lete. Par nahi tumhe to mujhe chod kar bhaagne ki padi thi. Chale gaye chupchaap mujhe chod kar, socha bhi nahi ki kaise jeeungi main tumhaare bina.

Aur haan maine non-veg khana chod diya hai bilkul. Aage se kabhi dekhungi bhi nahi

non-veg ko, khaane ki to dur ki baat hai. Mujhe ahsaas ho gaya hai ki tum theek the. Ped-podhon aur jeev jantuo mein kuch to farak rahta hi hai. Chicken mein jeevan jyada hai ek hari sabji ke mukaable. Main ye baat samajh gayi khud hi. Tumne to bahut bure tarike se samjhaane ki koshis ki thi. Mujhe araam se kahte to main khusi khusi tumhaare liye kuch

bhi chod deti. Non-veg to bahut choti cheez hai aditya.

Ab ye bataao ki apni zarina ko kab le jaaoge yaha se. main khud aa jaati par akele safar karte huve dar lagta hai mujhe. Kabhi akele gayi nahi kahi. Bahut ghabraati hun main

train mein. Agar nahi aaoge to mujhe aana to padega hi. Dil ke haatho majboor jo hun. in dino mein yahi jaana hai aditya ki bahut pyar karti hun main tumhe aur tumhaare bina nahi ji sakti. Aa jaao aditya main aankhe beechaaye tumhaara intezaar kar rahi hun. Le

jaao apni zarina ko apne saath aur jaise ji chaahe vaise rakho.

Tumhaari zarina.”

Aditya ki haalat bahut nzaauk ho gayi padhte-padhte. Aansu tapak rahe the zarina ke ek-ek bol par. Baar baar padha ushne ek ek line ko. Dil mein pyar ki meethi meethi chubhan ho rahi thi. Kuch bol hi nahi pa raha tha aditya, likha hi kuch aisa tha zarina ne. ushne vo

cheethi sheene se laga li aur sofe par late gaya.

Zarina ko aditya ki cheethi agle din mili. Vo to shoyi thi kamre mein jab mausi ne awaaj di.

“zarina beta tumhaara khatt aaya hai.”


Zarina ye shunte hi bistar se uth gayi. “mere liye khatt kaun bhej sakta hai. Kahi aditya ne to nahi bheja. Par ushe to yaha ka address bhi nahi pata hoga.”

Zarina turant bhaag kar baahar aayi. Ushne sign karke cheethi le li. Peeche aditya ka

naam tha. vo to jhum uthi khusi ke maare. Par mausi ke kaaran apni khusi ko daba liya kishi tarah.

“kishka khatt hai beta.” Mausi ne pucha.

“hai ek saheli ka mausi main araam se room mein baith kar padhungi.”

“theek hai padh le. Pahli baar teri aankho mein chamak dekh rahi hun. Shaayad ye khatt

kuch shukun dega tujhe. Ja padhle apni saheli ka khatt araam se.”

“shukriya mausi.” Zarina fauran room mein vaapis aa gayi. Room mein aate hi ushne kundi band kar li. Ushka dil bahut jor se dhadak raha tha. khusi hi kuch aisi thi fiza mein. Bahut furti se ushne leefafa khola aur cheethi nikaal kar bistar par baith gayi. Aditya ki

cheethi kuch ish parkaar thi.

“meri pyari zarina,

Kaisi ho tum. bahut mushkil se mila address tumhaari mausi ka mujhe. Address milte hi aaj ye cheethi leekh raha hun. Ek baat puchni thi tumse. Kyon chali gayi thi tum

restaurant se bina bataaye. Khana khaakar rafoo chakkar ho gayi mujhe chod kar. Kya bas itna hi pyar tha tumhaara. Tumhe nahi lagta ki tumne kuch galat kiya hai. Main dhundata raha tumhe vaha lekin tum kahi nahi mili. Bataao kyon kiya tumne aisa.

Thak haar kar main hotel vaapis aa gaya tha. ummeed thi ki tum hotel mein hi milogi mujhe. Par ye kya tum to vaha bhi nahi thi. Aisa kaun sa toofan aa gaya tha ki tum

achaanak mujhe chod kar chali gayi. Kya ek baar bhi nahi socha tumne ki main kaise jeeunga. Kya tumhe jara bhi chinta nahi huyi meri.agle din tumhaari mausi ki gali mein bhi ghuma main kaafi der. Lekin tum to shaayad mujhe bhool kar maje ki neend le rahi

thi. Bahut bedard ho tum.

Dil se majboor ho kar leekh raha hun ye cheethi main. Bahut koshis ki tumhe bhulaane ki par bhula nahi saka. Kya karu pyar hi itna karne laga hun tumhe. Par tumhe kya, tumhe to

mil gaya hoga shukun mujhe tadpa ke.Ek baat aur kahni thi. Aaj maine tu

tha. aaj tumhaari favorite dish chicken kadhaayi khaayi maine. Itni buri bhi nahi lagi jitna main samajhta tha.mushkil huyi par kha hi li. Ab jo cheez meri zarina ki favorite hai ushe to chakhna hi tha. Ab hamaare beech koyi bhi dikkat nahi hogi ish baat ko lekar. Ab main bhi non-veg ban gaya hun. Tum theek hi thi zarina. Maine bahut socha aur ishi natije par pahuncha ki jeevan to kan-kan mein hai. Yahi to hamaare hindu dharam ki maanyata bhi hai. Tumhaare bhojan ka yu apmaan karna galat tha. ye baat ab main samajh gaya hun.

Ab ye choti si baat hamaare beech nahi aayegi. Aa jaao vaapis meri jeendaki mein zarina. Tumhaare bina bahut akela mahsus kar raha hun main. Sab kuch bikhar gaya hai.

Tumhe lene aa raha hun zarina ish ravivar ko main. Taiyaar rahna. Koyi bahaana nahi chalega. Tum sirf meri ho aur meri rahogi. Bahut pyar karunga tumhe main zarina.

Taiyaar rahna tum main aa raha hun tumhe lene.

Main to taiyaar khadi hun aditya tum aatumhaare saath. Jaha chaahe vaha le jaana tum mujhe. I love you.” Bolte bolte zarina ki

aankhe bhar aayi lekin ish baar aansu kuch aur hi rangat liye the.

Zarina ne pyar ki khaatir nonkar diya. Vaise to bahut choti si baate lagti hain ye. Lekin ye karna itna asaan nahi hota. Apne aham yani ki ego ko maarna padta hai. Jo apni ego ko khatam kar paata hai vahi pyar ki gahraayi mein utar paata hai. Aditya aur imtehaan mein lekin ab unhone vo paaya tha apne jeevan mein jo ki bahut anmol tha.

pyar mein ek dusre ke liye jhukna seekh gaye the vo dono. Jo ki pyar ke lambe safar par

Zarina ne pyar ki khaatir non-veg chod diya aur aditya ne pyar ki khaatir nonkar diya. Vaise to bahut choti si baate lagti hain ye. Lekin ye karna itna asaan nahi hota. Apne aham yani ki ego ko maarna padta hai. Jo apni ego ko khatam kar paata hai vahi pyar ki gahraayi mein utar paata hai. Aditya aur zarina fail to jaroor huve the pyar ke imtehaan mein lekin ab unhone vo paaya tha apne jeevan mein jo ki bahut anmol tha.

tha. aaj tumhaari favorite dish chicken kadhaayi khaayi maine. Itni buri bhi nahi lagi jitna main samajhta tha.mushkil huyi par kha hi li. Ab jo cheez meri zarina ki favorite hai ushe

b hamaare beech koyi bhi dikkat nahi hogi ish baat ko lekar. Ab main veg ban gaya hun. Tum theek hi thi zarina. Maine bahut socha aur ishi natije par

kan mein hai. Yahi to hamaare hindu dharam ki maanyata bhi bhojan ka yu apmaan karna galat tha. ye baat ab main samajh gaya hun.


ha hun zarina ish ravivar ko main. Taiyaar rahna. Koyi bahaana nahi chalega. Tum sirf meri ho aur meri rahogi. Bahut pyar karunga tumhe main zarina.

Taiyaar rahna tum main aa raha hun tumhe lene.

o to sahi. Aankhe band karke chal padungi tumhaare saath. Jaha chaahe vaha le jaana tum mujhe. I love you.” Bolte bolte zarina ki


pyar ki khaatir non-veg shuru kar diya. Vaise to bahut choti si baate lagti hain ye. Lekin ye karna itna asaan nahi hota. Apne aham yani ki ego ko maarna padta hai. Jo apni ego ko khatam kar paata hai vahi

zarina fail to jaroor huve the pyar ke imtehaan mein lekin ab unhone vo paaya tha apne jeevan mein jo ki bahut anmol tha.

pyar mein ek dusre ke liye jhukna seekh gaye the vo dono. Jo ki pyar ke lambe safar par

dhan na kahu to kya kahu main. Ye anokha bandhan bahut pyara aur shunder hai jishme ki insaani jeendagi ki vo khubshurti chupi hai jishe shabdo mein nahi

kaha ja sakta. Bas samjha ja sakta hai. Bas samjha ja sakta


Pyar ke dushman hazaar hote hain. Pyar ko duniya ki nazar bhi lag jaati hai. Bahut khus the zarina aur aditya ek dusre ka pyar bhara khat pa kar. Zarina ke paanv jamin par nahi

tham rahe the. Aditya bhi khusi se jhum raha tha.

Sunday ko lene jaana tha aditya ko zarina ko. Aane jaane ki Ticket Ushne book kara li thi. Abhi 2 din baaki the. ushne socha kyon na zarina ke aane se pahle apne papa ke

kaarobar ko sambhaal liya jaaye. Vahi bacha tha ab ik lauta vaaris ushe hi sab sambhaalna tha. zarina ki zimmedari uthaane ke liye ye jaroori bhi tha.

Bahut bada kapde ka vyapaar tha aditya ke papa dina nath panday ka. Bina dekh rekh ke vo yu hi nuksaan mein ja raha tha. dango ke baad aditya ne sudh hi nahi li vyapaar ki.

Lekin ab ushe jimmedari ka ahsaas ho chala tha. zarina ki khaatir ushe ush beekhre huve vyapaar ko phir se khada karna tha. pyar kayi baar jimmedari bhi seekha deta hai.

Aditya subah savere hi ghar se nikal pada. Sabhi karamchaari aditya ko dekh kar bahut khus huve. Sabhi pareshaan the ki factory agar yu hi chalti rahi to jaldi band ho jaayegi

aur unka rojgaar chin jaayega. Aditya ne sabhi ko bharosa dilaaya ki vo phir se factory ko pahle wali stithi mein le aayega.

Pura din aditya ne factory mein hi bitaaya. Kishi bigde kaam ko theek karne ke liye aksar ek sache paryaas ki jaroorat hoti hai. Ushke baad sab kuch khud-b-khud theek hota chala jaata hai. Aisa hi kuch ho raha tha dina nath panday ki ush factory mein. Aditya ke aane se ummeed ki ek kiran jaag uthi thi sabhi ke man mein. Jo ki ek bahut badi baat hoti hai.

Kaafi dino baad kuch kaam huva factory mein. Aditya bahut khus tha. factory mein raha

aditya magar har vakt ushke jahan mein zarina ka chehra ghumta raha.

Shaam ko vo khusi khusi ghar laut raha tha. anjaan tha ki kayi baar khusi ko kisi ki nazar bhi lag jaati hai. Jab vo apne ghar pahuncha to paaya ki kuch gunde type ke log zarina ke tute-phute ghar ke baahar khade hain. Vo unhe ignore karke apne ghar mein ghusne lagta hai. Magar ushe kuch aisa shunta hai ki ushke kadam ghar ke baahar hi tham jaate hain.

“yaar jo bhi ho. Kya mast item thi vo zarina. Main to dango ke dauraan bas ushe hi dhund

raha tha. ek se ek ladki ko thoka ush dauraan par zarina jaisi koyi nahi thi unme. Pata nahi kaha chup gayi thi saali. Ushki choti bahan ki to ache se li thi hamne.”


“ho sakta hai vo ghar par na ho kahi baahar gayi ho.”

“ho sakta hai? Par yaar ushki lene ki tammana dil mein hi rah gayi. Uff kya cheez thi saali. Aise dango mein hi to aisa maal haath aata hai. Vo bhi nikal gaya haath se.”

Aditya to aag babula ho gaya ye shun kar. Premi kabhi apni premika ke khilaaf aisi baate nahi shun sakta. Bhid gaya aditya un logo se beena soche samjhe. Jo aadmi sabse jyada

bol raha tha vo ush par tut pada.

“bahut bakwaas kar raha hai. Teri himmat kaise huyi aisi baate karne ki” aditya ne ushe jamin par gira kar ush par ghunso ki bochaar kar di. Magar vo 5 the aur aditya akela tha. jaldi hi ushe kaabu kar liya gaya. Ye koyi hindi movie ka scene nahi tha jaha ki hero 5 to

kya 10 logo ko bhi dhool chata deta hai. Ye real life ka drishya tha.

2 logo ne aditya ko pakad liya aur ek ne chaaku nikaal kar kaha, “kyon be jyada charbi chadhi hai tujhe. Hum kaun sa teri ma bahan ke baare mein bol rahe the. Un logo ke baare mein bol rahe the jo hamaare dushman hain. Hindu ho kar hindu par hi haath

uthaate ho vo bhi hamaare dushmano ki khaatir. Tumhaare jaise logo ne hi hindu dharam ko kaayar bana rakha hai.”

“kaayarta khud karte ho aur paath mujhe padha rahe ho. Chodo mujhe aur ek-ek karke

saamne aao. Khun pee jaaunga main tum logo ka.”

“ jaggu maar saale ke pet mein chaaku aur cheer de pet saale ka. Jaroor ishi ne chupaaya hoga zarina ko. Ishke ghar mein dekhte hain. Kya pata jo dango ke dauran nahi mili ab

mil jaaye…he…he.”

“ushke baare mein ek shabd bhi aur kaha to mujhse bura koyi nahi hoga.” Aditya chatpataaya. Magar 2 logo ne ushe majbooti se pakad rakha tha.

kishi tarah se aditya ne dono ko ek taraf dhakela aur tut pada ush gunde par jishke haath

mein chaaku tha. hosh kho baitha tha aditya. Hota hai pyar mein aisa bhi kabhi. Magar ye jyada der nahi chala. Phir se ushe jakad liya gaya.

Aur phir vo huva jishke baare mein aditya ne socha bhi nahi tha. chaaku ke itne vaar huve

ushke pet par ki khun ki nadiya bah gayi vaha. Aditya ko tadapta chod vo gunde bhaag gaye vaha se.

Aditya ki factory ka ek karamchaari, ramesh aditya se kuch papers par sign lene ushke


ghar pahuncha to ushne aditya ko vaha khun se latpath paaya. Turant kishi tarah ambulance bulaayi ushne aur aditya ko hospital le jaaya gaya.

Bahut serious haalat mein tha vo. Operation kiya doctors ne magar bachne ki ummeed

kam hi bata rahe the. Khun bahut bah gaya tha. chaaku ke itne vaar huve the ki pet chalni chalni ho rakha tha ushka. Badi der lagi operation mein bhi. Operation ke baad aditya ko ICU mein rakh diya gaya. Ushe hosh nahi aaya tha. Sunday aa gaya magar abhi bhi vo

coma mein hi tha. aditya ke baare mein shun kar mumbai se ushke chacha, chachi milne aaye. Dina nath panday ki maut ke vakt nahi aa paaye the vo kyonki maahol theek nahi

tha. chacha ka naam tha raghu nath panday aur chachi ka naam tha vimla devi.

“doctor saahib kab tak rahega coma mein aditya.” Raghu nath ne pucha.

“kuch nahi kah sakte. Hum jo kar sakte the hamne kiya. Ab sab bhagvaan ke upar hai.” Doctor kah kar chala gaya.

Aaj ke din aditya ko zarina ko lene delhi jaana tha. magar vo to coma mein pada tha. ushe hosh hi nahi tha ki zarina tadap rahi hogi aditya ke liye. ya phir hosh tha ushe magar kuch

kar nahi sakta tha. coma cheez hi kuch aisi hai. besahaay bana deti hai insaan ko.

………………………………………………………………

Zarina to subah se hi bechain thi. Besabri se intezaar kar rahi thi aditya ka. Ushe mausi ko bina kuch kahe ghar se nikalna tha, aditya ke peeche peeche. Bas ek baar dikh jaaye aditya gali mein. Aankhe beechaye baithi thi vo. Chatt ki balcony mein khadi ho gayi

subah savere hi.

“kya baat hai beta aaj subah jaldi uth gayi.” Mausi ne awaaj lagaayi zarina ko.

Zarina mausi ki awaaj shun kar chaunk gayi, “salam alekum mausi.”

“salam alekum beta. Kya baat hai aaj subah subah yaha khadi ho. Sab khairiyat to hai.”

“haan mausi sab khairiyat hai. Bas vaise hi khadi thi.”

“tumse koyi milne aa raha hai aaj.” Mausi ne kaha.


“kaun?”

“emran naam hai ushka. Yahi padosh mein rahta hai. acha ladka hai. Tere baare mein

bataaya maine ushe. Bahut dukh huva ushe shun kar tumhaare baare mein. Milna chaahta hai tum se. aa jaao neeche vo aata hi hoga. Bahut ahsaan hai ushke hum

par. Ush se milogi to acha lagega hamein.”

“theek hai mausi main aati hun aap chaliye.” Zarina ne kaha.

Mausi soch mein pad gayi ki aakhir kya hai balcony mein aisa aaj jo zarina vaha se hatna nahi chaahti. Mausi ke jaane ke baad zarina ne phir se jhaank kar dekha gali mein magar ushe koyi deekhayi nahi diya. “shaayad baad mein aayega aditya. Abhi to saara din pada

hai. Mil aati hun pahle ish emran se.”

Zarina jab seedhyan utar kar aayi to ushne paaya ki emran ushka intezaar kar raha tha.

“to aap hain zarina sheikh. Khuda kasam bahut khubsurat hain aap. Hamaari nazar na lag jaaye aapko.” Emran ne zarina ko dekhte hi kaha.

“aao beti baitho. Yahi hai emran. Bahut kaabil ladka hai. Jab bhi koyi kaam bolti hun ishe

vo ye jhatt se kar deta hai.”

“ye to aapki jarra navaji hai khala. Hum itne kaabil bhi nahi hain. Sab khuda ki raham hai.”

“nahi emran tum sach mein bahut kaabil ho. Acha tum dono baate karo main chaaye lekar aati hun.”

Zarina mausi ko rokna chaahti thi par kuch kah nahi paayi.

“lagta hai aapko khusi nahi huyi hamse mil kar. Aap kahein to hum chale jaate hain.”

Emran ne kaha.

“ji nahi aap hamein galat na samjhe. Hum thoda pareshaan hain.” Zarina ne kaha.

“samajh sakte hain hum aapki pareshaani. Hum bekhabar nahi hain aapki pareshaani se. khala hamein sab kuch bata chuki hain. Hum yaha aapka gum baatne aayein hain.”


Emran ne kaha.

“bahut bahut shukriya aapka magar hum ush baare mein baat nahi karna chaahte.”

“samajh sakte hain hum. Gujre daur ki baate jakhmo ko aur hawa hi deti hain. Hum aapse maafi chaahenge agar hamne aapke jakhmo ko kured diya ho to. Hamein jara bhi ilm nahi

tha ki in baato ka jikar nahi hona chaahiye. Hum to bas aapka gum halka karna chaahte the.”

“aapse izaazat chaahungi. Mujhe jaana hoga.”

“rokenge nahi aapko. Magar aap baithengi to hamein acha lagega. Aapse hi milne aayein

hain hum.”

Zarina bahut bechain ho rahi thi ye jaan-ne ke liye ki aditya aaya ki nahi. Ushke chehre par ye bechaini saaf jhalak rahi thi.

“aap hamein kuch bechain si lag rahi hain. Sab khairiyat to hai.” Emran ne kaha.

“sab khairiyat hai aap hamaari fikar na karein.” Zarina thoda gusse mein bol gayi.

Tabhi mausi chaaye le aayi. Zarina vaha se uthi aur boli, “mausi main abhi aati hun.”

“chaaye thandi ho jaayegi beta.”

Zarina ko kuch nahi shun-na tha. ushe to bas upar aa kar balcony se jhaank kar dekhna tha ki aditya aaya hai ki nahi. Daud kar aayi vo upar aur dil mein aditya ko dekhne ki

bechaini liye ushne chaaro taraf dekha gali mein. Magar ushe koyi nazar nahi aaya. Thak haar kar vo vaapis aa gayi.

“chaaye thandi ho gayi, aisa kya zaroori kaam tha upar.” Mausi ne pucha.

“shaayad zarina ko chaaye pasand nahi hai.” Emran ne kaha.

“bahut pasand hai ishe chaaye. Pata nahi aajkal kya ho gaya hai ishe.”

“khala zarina gum ke aise daur se gujri hai ki insaan ki rooh kaanp jaaye. Insaan ka kho

jaana laajmi hai. Ab izaazat chaahunga khala. Kuch jaroori kaam hai mujhe. Phir milenge. Khuda hafiz!”


“khuda hafiz beta. Aate rahna.”

“khuda hafiz zarina ji. Hum phir milenge.” Emran ne mushkuraate huve kaha.

“khuda hafiz…” zarina ne jawaab diya.

“hamaari yahi duva hai ki alla ka raham ho aap par aur aap ish gum ke daur se jald nikal aayein baahar. Hum ish khubshurat se chehre par jald se jald mushkaan dekhna chaahte

hain.” Emran ne kaha.

Zarina ne kuch nahi kaha. Ushka dhyaan hi nahi tha emran ki baat par. Vo to aditya ke khayaalo mein khoyi thi.

“zarina ji hum aapsko duva de rahein hain aur aap kabul nahi kar rahin. Kya hamse koyi

gustaakhi huyi hai.”

Zarina ko hosh aaya aur vo jhat se boli, “shukriya aapka. Bahut bahut shukriya.”

Emran chala gaya vaha se. emran ke jaane ke baad mausi boli, “acha ladka hai. Bahut mehanti hai. Bahut ahsaan hai ishke hum par. Bahut pasand aayi tum ushe. Jab tum upar gayi thi to tumhaara haath maang raha tha. emran se acha shohar nahi milega tumhe.”

“Mausi aap soch bhi kaise sakti hain aisa.” Zarina ke ye baat na-gavaara gujri.

“beta tere abba aur ammi ke baad ab main hi hun teri apni. Itna sochne ka haq to shaayad mujhe hai hi. Tujhe ye sujhaav pasand nahi to na sahi magar phir bhi gaur karna ish par.

Emran bahut hi acha ladka hai. Ache se jaanti hun main ushe. Tumhaare liye ush se behtar shohar nahi mil sakta. Ushe tum pasand bhi aa gayi ho. Baaki tumhaari marji hai.

Tumhara nikaah tumhaari marji se hi hoga.”

Zarina ne kuch nahi kaha aur aa gayi seedhiyan chadh kar upar balcony mein. Aditya vaha ho to deekhe. Aankhe nam ho gayi ish baar ushki.

“kyon tadpa rahe ho mujhe aditya. Mar jaaungi main ish tadap mein. Please jaldi aa jaao.

Main aur intezaar nahi kar sakti.”

Subah se dopahar huyi aur dopahar se shaam. Shaam se raat bhi ho gayi. Zarina ki aankhe pathra gayi raah dekhte-dekhte. Bahut royi vo baar-baar. Aankhe laal ho gayi ushki. Ushe

kya pata tha ki jishe vo dhund rahi hai vo ish vakt coma mein hai aur shaayad gahri neend mein ushe apne paas bula raha hai.

Anokha bandhan tha ye sach mein. pyar ish janam ka tha. raat to ho gayi thi par pata nahi kyon ummeed nahi chodi thi zarina ne. pyar hamesa ummeed ki kiran jagaaye rakhta hai insaan mein. Raat ko bhi vo kayin baar aayi balcony mein chupchaap dabe paanv. Magar har baar nirthi vo vaapis apne kamre mein. Man karta nahi tha ushka balcony se hatne ka magar vo vaha jyada der nahi ruk sakti thi. din mein mausi kayi baar puch chuki thi ki kya kar rahi ho baar baar balcony mein. Zarina nahaditya ke baare mein. Unka pyar jitna gumnaam rahe utna hi acha. Jitna logo ko pata

chalega utni hi musibat badhegi. Aditya ki cheethi ushne bahut dhyaan se chupa kar rakhi thi. phaad nahi sakti thi ushko.apni jeendagi se bhi jyada pyara tha. hota hai aisa bhi. Pyar apni jeendagi se bhi jyada

Zarina vaapis aakar gir gayi apne bistar par. Thaam nahi paayi apni aankho ko aur vo bah

“kaha rah gaye tum aditya. Kyon nahi aa paaye tum. aisa kya ho gaya ki tumne mujhe yu tadapta chhod diya. Agar main mar gayi tadap

mere jitna pyar koyi nahi kar sakta tumhe. Kyon aditya kyon…….kyontum.” aur bolte bolte ro padi zarina phir se.

“kabhi kitni nafrat karti thi tumse aur aaj ye haalat hai tumhaare kaaran. Ek pal bhi jeena nahi chaahti tumhaare bina. Yaad hai tumhe vo din jab tum keechad uchaal kar chale

Main college se market chali gayi thi suman aur priya ke saath. Vaapsi mein baaris shuru ho gayi. Shukar hai chaata tha mere paas. Bachtenayi jeans pahan rakhi thi maine. Ghar ke nazdik hi thi main. Tum na jaane achaanak bike par aur keechad uchaal diya mere upar. Jeans to mitti se lathpath huyi hi,

mere chehre par bhi keechad ke cheente daal diye tumne.

kya pata tha ki jishe vo dhund rahi hai vo ish vakt coma mein hai aur shaayad gahri neend mein ushe apne paas bula raha hai.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Anokha bandhan tha ye sach mein. pyar ish janam ka nahi balki kayi janmon ka lag raha tha. raat to ho gayi thi par pata nahi kyon ummeed nahi chodi thi zarina ne. pyar hamesa ummeed ki kiran jagaaye rakhta hai insaan mein. Raat ko bhi vo kayin baar aayi balcony mein chupchaap dabe paanv. Magar har baar niraasa hi haath lagi. Bahut mushkil se jaati thi vo vaapis apne kamre mein. Man karta nahi tha ushka balcony se hatne ka magar vo vaha jyada der nahi ruk sakti thi. din mein mausi kayi baar puch chuki thi ki kya kar rahi ho baar baar balcony mein. Zarina nahi chaahti thi ki kishi ko bhi pata chale ushke aur aditya ke baare mein. Unka pyar jitna gumnaam rahe utna hi acha. Jitna logo ko pata

chalega utni hi musibat badhegi. Aditya ki cheethi ushne bahut dhyaan se chupa kar rakhi thi. phaad nahi sakti thi ushko. Anmol pyar jo tha ush cheethi mein. Aisa pyar jo ki ushe apni jeendagi se bhi jyada pyara tha. hota hai aisa bhi. Pyar apni jeendagi se bhi jyada

anmol ho jaata hai.

Zarina vaapis aakar gir gayi apne bistar par. Thaam nahi paayi apni aankho ko aur vo bahgayi phir se.

“kaha rah gaye tum aditya. Kyon nahi aa paaye tum. aisa kya ho gaya ki tumne mujhe yu tadapta chhod diya. Agar main mar gayi tadap-tadap kar to dekhna bahut pachtaaoge tum.

mere jitna pyar koyi nahi kar sakta tumhe. Kyon aditya kyon…….kyontum.” aur bolte bolte ro padi zarina phir se.

“kabhi kitni nafrat karti thi tumse aur aaj ye haalat hai tumhaare kaaran. Ek pal bhi jeena

nahi chaahti tumhaare bina. Yaad hai tumhe vo din jab tum keechad uchaal kar chale gaye the mere upar.

Main college se market chali gayi thi suman aur priya ke saath. Vaapsi mein baaris shuru ho gayi. Shukar hai chaata tha mere paas. Bachte-bachaate chal rahi thi pani ki bundo se. nayi jeans pahan rakhi thi maine. Ghar ke nazdik hi thi main. Tum na jaane achaanak bike par aur keechad uchaal diya mere upar. Jeans to mitti se lathpath huyi hi,



kya pata tha ki jishe vo dhund rahi hai vo ish vakt coma mein hai aur shaayad gahri neend

nahi balki kayi janmon ka lag raha tha. raat to ho gayi thi par pata nahi kyon ummeed nahi chodi thi zarina ne. pyar hamesa ummeed ki kiran jagaaye rakhta hai insaan mein. Raat ko bhi vo kayin baar aayi balcony

aasa hi haath lagi. Bahut mushkil se jaati thi vo vaapis apne kamre mein. Man karta nahi tha ushka balcony se hatne ka magar vo vaha jyada der nahi ruk sakti thi. din mein mausi kayi baar puch chuki thi ki kya kar rahi

i chaahti thi ki kishi ko bhi pata chale ushke aur aditya ke baare mein. Unka pyar jitna gumnaam rahe utna hi acha. Jitna logo ko pata

chalega utni hi musibat badhegi. Aditya ki cheethi ushne bahut dhyaan se chupa kar rakhi Anmol pyar jo tha ush cheethi mein. Aisa pyar jo ki ushe

apni jeendagi se bhi jyada pyara tha. hota hai aisa bhi. Pyar apni jeendagi se bhi jyada

Zarina vaapis aakar gir gayi apne bistar par. Thaam nahi paayi apni aankho ko aur vo bah

“kaha rah gaye tum aditya. Kyon nahi aa paaye tum. aisa kya ho gaya ki tumne mujhe yu tadap kar to dekhna bahut pachtaaoge tum.

mere jitna pyar koyi nahi kar sakta tumhe. Kyon aditya kyon…….kyon nahi aa paaye tum.” aur bolte bolte ro padi zarina phir se.

“kabhi kitni nafrat karti thi tumse aur aaj ye haalat hai tumhaare kaaran. Ek pal bhi jeena nahi chaahti tumhaare bina. Yaad hai tumhe vo din jab tum keechad uchaal kar chale

Main college se market chali gayi thi suman aur priya ke saath. Vaapsi mein baaris shuru bachaate chal rahi thi pani ki bundo se.

nayi jeans pahan rakhi thi maine. Ghar ke nazdik hi thi main. Tum na jaane kaha se aaye achaanak bike par aur keechad uchaal diya mere upar. Jeans to mitti se lathpath huyi hi,



Tum ruk gaye ye dekh kar. Tumhe laga koyi aur hai. chaate ke kaaran shaayad tum mujhe

pahchaan nahi paaye the. Aaye bike khadi karke nazre jhukaaye huve. Maine to tumhe pahchaan hi liya tha. man kar raha tha ki eent utha kar maaru tumhaare sar par.

“mr aditya kya samajhte ho tum khud ko. Dekh kar nahi chal sakte kya. Meri nayi jeans

kharaab kar di tumne.” Maine gusse mein react kiya.

Tum to mujhe dekhte hi mud gaye vaapis. Itni coutesy bhi nahi deekhayi ki kam se kam sorry hi bol do. Chal diye muh pher kar jaise ki sab meri hi galti ho. Apni bike par baith

gaye ja kar aur kick maar kar bole, “meri mammi se paise le lena. Nayi kharid lena. Jyada bakwaas karne ki jaroorat nahi hai.”

“apne paise apne paas rakho mr. paiso ki kami nahi hai mujhe. Stupid…...” Main cheella

kar boli.

“to khareed lo na nayi ja kar. Mera deemag kyon kha rahi ho.” Chale gaye tum bol kar.

Bahut gussa aaya tha tumhaare upar. Man kar raha tha ki tumhaari jaan le lun. Aur aaj ye din hai ki tumhaare liye apni jaan de sakti hun. Kitna ajeeb hota hai pyar. Hum dono aise anmol pyar ke bandhan mein bandh jaayenge socha bhi nahi tha maine. Aa jaao aditya aur mere liye ek nayi jeans lete aana. Due hai tumhaare upar. Vahi pahan kar chalungi

main tumhaare saath. Badal lungi toilet mein jaakar. Tum bas lete aao. Ya phir rahne do jeans ko….tum aa jaao aditya please….main beekhar gayi hun puri tarah. Ek tum hi to ho

jishke liye jeena chaahti hun. Tum bhi ish tarah tadpaaoge to kya hoga mera. Please aa jaao.”

Zarina se raha nahi gaya aur vo phir se uth kar chal di balcony ki taraf. Raat ke 3 baj rahe the. Magar ushki ummeed tuti nahi thi abhi. Chaaro taraf dekha zarina ne balcony se jhaank kar. Gali mein kutte bhonk rahe the. “ye kutte kahi aur kyon nahi chale jaate.

Aditya ko na kaat lein kahin ye.”

Aditya ka kahi ata pata nahi tha par zarina aditya ke liye kutto se pareshaan ho rahi thi. bahut parvaah rahti hai pyar mein ek dusre ki.

Vaapis aana hi pada zarina ko. “kya pata kal aaye aditya. Kya pata train late ho gayi ho. Ya phir ho sakta hai koyi jaroori kaam aan pada ho. Vo aayega jaroor mujhe yakin hai.

bas jaldi aa jaaye to acha hai varna pata nahi jee paaungi ya nahi.”

Dubaara nahi uthi zarina balcony mein jaane ke liye. Thak haar kar ushki aankh lag gayi thi. sho gayi bechaari tadap-tadap kar. Aankhe bhaari ho rakhi thi. neend aana laazmi tha.

…………………………………………………………………..

Aditya abhi bhi coma mein tha. aas paas kya ho raha tha ushe kuch nahi pata tha. lekin pyar ka kuch aisa chamatkaar tha ki vo thodahain aise coma ke jinme insaan soch paata hai. magar ye thinking deemaag ki bahut

gahraayi mein hoti hai. pyar bhi to kahi gahra chupa rahta hai insaan ke ander. Shaayad vahi ye sochne samajhne ki taakat chupi rahti hai.

“zarina main aa raha hun taiyaar rahna.” Ye vichaar khuddeemag mein. Shaayad zarina se milne ki tadap

Aditya ko pata bhi nahi tha ki Sunday beet chuka hai aur zarina ka ushke intezaar mein bura haal hai. coma mein tha aditya jaan nahi sakta tha ye baat. Ushka astitav din duniya se bahut parey tha jaha time aur din nahi hota. Ek gahri neend hoti hai coma jaha kuch ubhar aata hai achaanak. Jaise ki zarina ke liye jeans le jaane ka vichaar achaanak hi aa

Shaayad pyar mein bahut gahraayi se jude the zarina aur aditya varna aditya ko khyaal aana mumkin nahi tha.ush din. Puri jeans keechad ke rang mein rang gayi thi. kitna gussa tha tumhaare chehre

par. La dunga nayi jeans. Mujhe pata hai ki due hai jeans mujh par.”

“Zarina! Utho…aaj itni der tak kaise sho rahi ho.” Mausi ne awaaj lagaayi. Khub darvaaja peeta unhone. Par zarina ka koyi jawaab nahi aaya.

Dubaara nahi uthi zarina balcony mein jaane ke liye. Thak haar kar ushki aankh lag gayi

tadap kar. Aankhe bhaari ho rakhi thi. neend aana laazmi tha.

bhi coma mein tha. aas paas kya ho raha tha ushe kuch nahi pata tha. lekin pyar ka kuch aisa chamatkaar tha ki vo thoda-thoda soch pa raha tha. kuch cases huve hain aise coma ke jinme insaan soch paata hai. magar ye thinking deemaag ki bahut

hoti hai. pyar bhi to kahi gahra chupa rahta hai insaan ke ander. Shaayad vahi ye sochne samajhne ki taakat chupi rahti hai.

“zarina main aa raha hun taiyaar rahna.” Ye vichaar khud-b-khud aa gaya aditya ke

deemag mein. Shaayad zarina se milne ki tadap bahut gahraayi tak sama gayi thi ushke astitav mein.

Aditya ko pata bhi nahi tha ki Sunday beet chuka hai aur zarina ka ushke intezaar mein

bura haal hai. coma mein tha aditya jaan nahi sakta tha ye baat. Ushka astitav din duniya ime aur din nahi hota. Ek gahri neend hoti hai coma jaha kuch

ubhar aata hai achaanak. Jaise ki zarina ke liye jeans le jaane ka vichaar achaanak hi aa gaya. Pata nahi kaise.

Shaayad pyar mein bahut gahraayi se jude the zarina aur aditya varna aditya ko khyaal aana mumkin nahi tha. aditya man hi man mushkuraaya, “bahut cheellayi thi tum ush din. Puri jeans keechad ke rang mein rang gayi thi. kitna gussa tha tumhaare chehre

par. La dunga nayi jeans. Mujhe pata hai ki due hai jeans mujh par.”

Aditya ko pata bhi nahi tha ki Sunday beet chuka hai aur zarina ka ushke intezaar mein bura haal hai. coma mein tha aditya jaan nahi sakta tha ye baat. Ushka astitav din duniya

ime aur din nahi hota. Ek gahri neend hoti hai coma jaha kuch ubhar aata hai achaanak. Jaise ki zarina ke liye jeans le jaane ka vichaar achaanak hi aa

Shaayad pyar mein bahut gahraayi se jude the zarina aur aditya varna aditya ko jeans ka aditya man hi man mushkuraaya, “bahut cheellayi thi tum

ush din. Puri jeans keechad ke rang mein rang gayi thi. kitna gussa tha tumhaare chehre par. La dunga nayi jeans. Mujhe pata hai ki due hai jeans mujh par.”



Mausi ki awaakj shun kar unka beta shamim vaha aa gaya aur bola, “ammi kya huva?”

“11 baj gayein hain aur ye ladki uthi nahi abhi tak.” Mausi ne kaha.

“shone do na ammi tum hamesa dusro ki neend khraab karti ho.” Shamim ne kaha

“zarina itni der tak kabhi nahi shoti. Kal kuch jyada hi pareshaan lag rahi thi. mujhe to chinta ho rahi hai.”

“kya huva shamim ki ammi. Itna hungaama kyon macha rakha hai.” shamim ke abba ne

pucha. Unka naam iqbaal tha.

“zarina darvaaja nahi khol rahi. Pata nahi kya baat hai.” mausi ne chinta janak shabdo mein kaha.

Emran kishi kaam se ghar aaya tha. vo bhi un logo ki baate shun kar vaha aa gaya aur

bola, “khaala kya baat hai. sab khairiyat to hai.”

“pata nahi emran beta. Zarina darvaaja nahi khol rahi. 11 baj rahe hain. Mujhe to chinta ho rahi hai. kal bahut bechain si lag rahi thi. baar-baar balcony ke chakkar laga rahi thi.

pata nahi kya baat hai. kuch bataati bhi to nahi hai. apne aap mein khoyi rahti hai.”

“gahri neend mein shoyi hai shaayad.” Emran bhi jor-jor se darvaaja khadkaata hai.

Par zarina ka koyi jawaab nahi aata.

“khaala aap hatiye. Darvaaja taud dete hain.” Emran ne kaha.

“haan emran bhai theek kaha, taud dete hain darvaaja.” Shamim ne kaha.

“haan beta kuch karo…mujhe to bahut dar lag raha hai.” mausi ghabra rahi thi.

Emran aur shamim darvaaje ko dhakka maarte hain. darvaaja 2-3 dhakke maarne par khul jaata hai.

Pahle mausi ander aati hai kyonki jawaan ladki thi kamre mein. Mausi ander aakar paati hai ki zarina paanv seekode padi hai. vo ushe hilaati hai par vo kuch respond nahi karti.

“ye to behosh padi hai shaayad.”


Mausi baahar aati hai aur emran se kahti hai, “beta vo to behosh padi hai ander. doctor ko bulaao jaldi.”

Emran fauran doctor ko lekar aata hai. doctor zarina ko examine karta hai aur bolta hai,

“sab kuch normal hai. shaayad kishi sadmein mein hai. kya kuch aisa huva hai ishke saath jish se ishke dil ko gahra jhatka lage.”

“huva to bahut kuch hai doctor saahib ab kya bataayein. Aap koyi davaayi de dijiye.”

Mausi ne kaha.

“main injection de raha hun. Kuch hi der mein ishe hosh aa jaayega. Aap inhe khus rakhne ki koshis karein.” Doctor ne kaha.

Doctor zarina ko injection de kar chala gaya. shamim aur ushke abba bhi vaha se chale gaye. Unhe apne kaam ke liye nikalna tha. emran aur mausi vahi baith gaye do kursi le

kar.

“kuch to hai aisa jo ye hamse chupa rahi hai.” mausi ne kaha.

“khaala vakt lagega ushke jakhmo ko bharne mein. Kuch vakt dijiye ushe.” Emran ne kaha.

“vakt to theek hai, par ye har vakt khoyi-khoyi rahti hai.”

“khaala aapne zarina se kuch baat ki hamaare baare mein” emran ne pucha.

“ki thi beta. Abhi ushne kuch bataaya nahi hai par tum fikar na karo zarina tumhaari hi

biwi banegi. Main hun na.”

“khaala agar aisa ho gaya to khud ko khusnasib samjhunga. Pahli baar mujhe koyi pasand aaya hai.” emran ne kaha.

“tumhaare bahut ahsaan hain beta. Itna to tumhaare liye kar hi sakti hun. Zarina na nahi

bolegi mujhe yakin hai ish baat ka. Aur tumse acha shohar nahi milega ushe.”

“khaala hum chaahte hain ki jitni jaldi ye nikaah ho jaaye acha rahega. Hum zarina ko bahut khus rakhenge.” Emran ne kaha.

“maalun hai beta. Koshis karungi ki tum dono ka nikaah jaldi ho jaaye. Mere sar se bhi


jimmedari ka bojh hatega. Umar ho chali hai meri. Jeendagi ka kya bharosa. Jeetni jaldi zarina ka ghar bas jaaye acha hai. tumhaare haath mein ushka haath de kar main bhi

nishchint rahungi.” Mausi ne kaha.

doctor ke injection ke baad kuch hi der mein zarina ko hosh aa gaya.

“aditya!” zarina cheella kar boli aur bistar par uth kar baith gayi. Tab ushki mausi aur emran vahi the.

Emran aur zarina ki mausi to hairaan rah gaye.

“aditya? Kaun aditya zarina” emran ne hairaani mein pucha.

Zarina ko hosh aaya ki vo kya bol gayi. “main sapna dekh rahi thi shaayad.”

Zarina ka dil jor-jor se dhadakne laga. Vo ache se jaanti thi ki kishi ko bhi vaha aditya

aur ushke baare mein pata chala to bahut musibat ho jaayegi. Shamim ke abba aur shamim ne khud salma ko ishliye maar diya tha kyonki vo ek hindu ladke se pyar kar

baithi thi. shamim ki choti bahan thi salma. aise maahol mein zarina ka darna laajmi tha. koyi nahi tha vaha aisa jo ki zarina aur aditya ke rishte ko samajhta. Ishliye ushe har haal

mein apne pyar ko chupa kar rakhna tha.

“kya huva tha beta…pata hai tum behosh padi thi yaha. Doctor ne injection diya tumhe tab hosh mein aayi tum. aisi kaun si baat hai ab jo ki tumhe ander hi ander khaaye ja rahi

hai. kal baar baar balcony mein ghum rahi thi. maine tujhe raat ko bhi dekha balcony mein jaate huve. Par tujhe toka nahi. kuch bataaogi apni mausi ko taaki main kuch kar

paaaun tumhaare liye”

Zarina ajeeb mushkil mein pad gayi, bole bhi to kya bole. Chup rahi bas. Ab kaise kahe ki vo aditya ko dhund rahi thi. kuch aur kahne ko ushe sujh nahi raha tha. jab dil pyar

mein duba ho to deemag aksar kam chalta hai.

“beta main kuch puch rahi hun kuch bataaogi mujhe.” Mausi ne phir pucha.

“rahne dijiye khaala. Zarina ka jab man hoga bata degi.” Emran ne kaha.

Lekin kahte hain ki ishq aur mushq chupaaye nahi chupta. Zarina ke takiye ke paas aditya ki cheethi padi thi. mausi ki nazar pad gayi ush cheethi par. Vo aage badhi aur utha li vo cheethi. Zarina ka dhyaan hi nahi tha ish baat par ki takiye ke paas cheethi padi hai. pyar


mein dhyaan vyan sab gum ho jaata hai shaayad. Jab ushne mausi ke haath mein aditya ki cheethi dekhi to vo cheellayi, “mausi ye meri personal cheethi hai. mujhe vaapis de do.”

“emran beta padhna jara ishme kya likha hai. mujhe to padhna nahi aata.” Mausi ne kaha.

“nahi emran ye meri personal hai. koyi nahi padhega ishe.” Zarina ne kaha.

Emran ne cheethi pakad to li par duvidha mein pad gaya vo ki kya kare kya na kare.

Mausi kah rahi thi padho aur zarina kah rahi thi mat padho.

“padho beta. Shaayad zarina ki pareshaani ka sabab ish cheethi mein mil jaaye. Ye to kuch bataati hai nahi.”

Emran ne cheethi haath mein li aur man hi man padhni shuru ki. Jab vo cheethi padh kar

hata to ushke chehre par tanaav tha.

“mausi baahar aaeeye bahut gambhir baat hai.” emran ne kaha.

“mera khatt mujhe vaapis de do.” Zarina ne bhaavuk awaaj mein kaha. Vo vaise hi aditya ke na aane se pareshaan thi aur ab ye nayi musibat aan khadi huyi thi.

Emran ne aditya ka khatt apni jeb mein daal liya aur mausi ko saath lekar baahar ki aur

chal diya.

Zarina uthi bistar se aur cheellayi, “mera khatt hai vo kaha le ja rahe ho. Paagal ho kya tum. vaapis do mujhe vo.”

Emran ne baahar aakar baahar se kundi laga di darvaaje ki. Zarina ander se darvaaja peet-

ti rahi. “mera khatt mujhe vaapis de do please…….” Aansu aa gaye zarina ki aankho mein bolte bolte.

Emran pura khatt padh kar mausi ko shunaata hai.

“dekha khaala ye kaaran hai ishki pareshaani ka. Ishe apne ammi, abba aur bahan ke

marne ka koyi gam nahi hai. balki ek kafir ke kaaran pareshaan hai ye. vo lene aane wala tha kal zarina ko yaha. Tabhi ye balcony mein ghum rahi thi. hamein to yakin hi nahi ho raha. Hamein laga ye apno ko khone ke kaaran gam mein hai. par nahi ye to ishq farma

rahi hai vo bhi ek fajir aur kafir se.”


“shamim aur ushke abba ko pata chala to salma ki tarah kaat daalenge ishe bhi. Ye ladki aisa karegi hamne socha bhi nahi tha. un logo ne katle aam kiya hamaari kaum ka aur ye

unse pyar kar rahi hai. sharam aani chaahiye ishe.”

“mausi mera khatt mujhe vaapis de do. Vo meri jeendagi hai please………” zarina ne ander se rote huve cheella kar kaha.

“agar ye aditya yaha aaya to hum ushe jeenda nahi chodenge khaala.” Emran ne kaha.

“beta kya tum ye sab jaan-ne ke baad bhi zarina se shaadi karoge.” Mausi ne pucha.

“hum shaayad mohabbat karne lage hain zarina se. hum ushi se shaadi karenge chaahe

kuch ho jaaye.” Emran ne kaha.

“beta tum shaadi ki taiyaari karo bas ab phir. Jyada der karni theek nahi hai.” mausi ne kaha.

“main to taiyaar hun khaala. Aap chaahe aaj karva do shaadi.”

“theek hai bas ek hafte ka vakt do hamein.”

“theek hai khaala…aapko kishi bhi baat ki chinta karne ki jaroorat nahi hai. hum sab

intezaam kar denge.”

“vo to hum jaante hi hain.”

Zarina shun rahi thi sab kuch ander. Itni bhaavuk ho rahi thi ki kuch pucho mat. Kuch bhi nahi bol pa rahi thi. gir gayi rote-rote vahi jamin par aur boli, “ab to aa jaao aditya. Ya ab

bhi nahi aaoge. please…………………………..” . . . . . . . . .

. ------------------------Ek saal baad--------------------------

Aditya ne dheere se aankhe kholi. Koyi nahi tha aas paas ushke. Ushe kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ki vo kaha hai aur kyon hai. coma se uthne ke baad aksar aisa hota hai.

“zarina…zarina kaha hai? main yaha kaise.” Sabse pahle ushe yahi sujha.

aditya abhi gahri neend se jaaga tha. deemag ek saal tak gahri neend mein tha. vaapis

normal hone mein vakt to lagta hi hai.

aditya uth kar baith gaya bistar par. Raghu nath panday ne dekh liya ushe baithe huve. Unki khusi ka theekana nahi raha.

“beta tumhe hosh aa gaya. arey shunti ho aditya ko hosh aa gaya.” raghu nath panday ne

apni patni ko awaaj di. vo bhaagi bhaagi aayi.

“chacha ji aap.”

“haan beta. Hum tumhe apne saath mumbai le aaye the. Vaha gujrat mein hum tumhe akela nahi chod sakte the.” Raghu nath panday ne kaha.

“mera sar bahut bhaari hai.” aditya ne sar par haath rakh kar kaha.

“sar par bhi maara tha un kamino ne. tumhe kuch yaad hai kaun the vo.”

Aditya soch mein pad gaya. Ushe kuch dhundla dhundla yaad aa raha tha.

“chalo chodo vo sab. Jyada jor mat daalo deemag par. Aa jaayega sab kuch yaad khud hi.

Hum to ummeed chod chuke the beta. Tumhe aaj hosh mein dekh kar jo khusi mili hai ushe main shabdo mein nahi kah sakta.” raghu nath panday ne kaha.

Aditya ko ye dhyan bhi nahi tha ki vo ek saal baad hosh mein aaya hai. Coma se uthe vyakti ke liye samay aur vakt ka gyan asambhav hai. Lekin aditya ko itna dhyan jaroor

tha ki ushe sunday ko zarina ko lene jaanazarina ko lene jaana tha vo kab ka beet chuka hai aur jeendagi ek saal aage badh chuki

"aaj shanivaar hai beta... kyon."

"shanivaar... mujhe chalna hoga. Mujhe Kal har hadheere se badbadaya aur uthne ki koshis karne laga.

Raghu nath panday samajh nahi paya ki aditya ne kya kaha. unhone aditya ke kandhe par haath rakha aur bole, "beta Kya bol rahe the tum. Aur abhi jaldbaaji mat karo uEk saal baad hosh aaya hai tumhe. Sharir mein jung lag chuka hai.Thoda vakt do apne

Ye shunte hi aditya bhonchaka rah gaya. Ushka sar ghumne laga. Ushe vishwaas nahi ho

"ek saal baad hosh aaya...ye kaise ho

"haan beta tum coma mein the. Ek saal baad uthe ho tum aaj. Bhagvaan ka laakh laakh shukar hai ki tumhe hosh aa gaya." raghu nath panday ne kaha.

Aditya ke deemag ki haalat aisi nahi thi kopata tha ki aaj agar shanivaar hai to kal ushe zarina ko lene delhi jaana hai. Vo abhi bhi beete kal mein ji raha tha. magar jeendagi ushke chaaro aur bahut aage nikal gayi thi.

Aditya itna stabdh tha ki kuch bcalendar par gayi to ushki aankhe bhar aayi. 2003 ka calendar tha vo.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Aditya ko ye dhyan bhi nahi tha ki vo ek saal baad hosh mein aaya hai. Coma se uthe

vyakti ke liye samay aur vakt ka gyan asambhav hai. Lekin aditya ko itna dhyan jaroor tha ki ushe sunday ko zarina ko lene jaana hai. Ushe kya pata tha ki jish Sunday ko ushe zarina ko lene jaana tha vo kab ka beet chuka hai aur jeendagi ek saal aage badh chuki

hai.

"Chacha ji aaj din kya hai"

"aaj shanivaar hai beta... kyon."

"shanivaar... mujhe chalna hoga. Mujhe Kal har haal mein delhi pahunchna hai." aditya dheere se badbadaya aur uthne ki koshis karne laga.

Raghu nath panday samajh nahi paya ki aditya ne kya kaha. unhone aditya ke kandhe par haath rakha aur bole, "beta Kya bol rahe the tum. Aur abhi jaldbaaji mat karo uEk saal baad hosh aaya hai tumhe. Sharir mein jung lag chuka hai.Thoda vakt do apne

sharir ko."

Ye shunte hi aditya bhonchaka rah gaya. Ushka sar ghumne laga. Ushe vishwaas nahi ho raha tha apne kaano par.

"ek saal baad hosh aaya...ye kaise ho sakta hai." aditya ye maan-

nahi tha.


Aditya ke deemag ki haalat aisi nahi thi ko vo kuch bhi samajh paaye. Ushe to bas itna pata tha ki aaj agar shanivaar hai to kal ushe zarina ko lene delhi jaana hai. Vo abhi bhi beete kal mein ji raha tha. magar jeendagi ushke chaaro aur bahut aage nikal gayi thi.

Aditya itna stabdh tha ki kuch bhi nahi bol paaya. Ushki nazar jab deewar par tange

calendar par gayi to ushki aankhe bhar aayi. 2003 ka calendar tha vo.


Aditya ko ye dhyan bhi nahi tha ki vo ek saal baad hosh mein aaya hai. Coma se uthe vyakti ke liye samay aur vakt ka gyan asambhav hai. Lekin aditya ko itna dhyan jaroor

hai. Ushe kya pata tha ki jish Sunday ko ushe zarina ko lene jaana tha vo kab ka beet chuka hai aur jeendagi ek saal aage badh chuki

al mein delhi pahunchna hai." aditya dheere se badbadaya aur uthne ki koshis karne laga.

Raghu nath panday samajh nahi paya ki aditya ne kya kaha. unhone aditya ke kandhe par haath rakha aur bole, "beta Kya bol rahe the tum. Aur abhi jaldbaaji mat karo uthne ki. Ek saal baad hosh aaya hai tumhe. Sharir mein jung lag chuka hai.Thoda vakt do apne

Ye shunte hi aditya bhonchaka rah gaya. Ushka sar ghumne laga. Ushe vishwaas nahi ho

-ne ke liye bilkul taiyar


vo kuch bhi samajh paaye. Ushe to bas itna pata tha ki aaj agar shanivaar hai to kal ushe zarina ko lene delhi jaana hai. Vo abhi bhi beete kal mein ji raha tha. magar jeendagi ushke chaaro aur bahut aage nikal gayi thi.

hi nahi bol paaya. Ushki nazar jab deewar par tange calendar par gayi to ushki aankhe bhar aayi. 2003 ka calendar tha vo.


"chacha ji kaun sa mahina hai."

"20 april 2003 hai aaj beta. Tum pareshaan mat ho, sab theek hai. Tumhaari factory theek chal rahi hai. Koyi chinta ki baat nahi hai."

Aditya ki to haalat kharaab ho gayi. Aisa lag raha tha jaise ki vo phir se behosh ho

jaayega. "ek saal beet gaya. Zarina ne bahut intezaar kiya hoga mera. Bahut royi hogi mere intezaar mein vo. Main kyon nahi ja paya...kyon....he bhagvaan kyon kiya aisa

hamaare saath." aditya chinta mein pad gaya.

Raghu nath panday nahi jaanta tha ki aditya ke man mein kya chal raha hai. Aditya ki haalat vaise uthne laayak nahi thi magar phir bhi vo uth gaya kishi tarah bistar se aur

bola, “chacha ji mujhe delhi jaana hai turant.”

Pyar ki tadap aur bechaini shaayad taakat bhar deti hai insaan ke sharir mein. Varna aditya nahi uth sakta tha.

"kya baat hai beta, kuch bataao to sahi, tum bahut pareshaan lag rahe ho."

"mujhe bahut hi jaroori kaam hai chacha ji. Mujhe har haal mein delhi jaana hai." aditya kishi ko kuch nahi bataana chaahta tha. Baat hi kuch aisi thi. Vaise bhi agar vo bataata

bhi to shaayad hi koyi samajh paata ushki baat ko.

"Aditya doctor ko phone kiya hai maine vo aata hi hoga. Agar doctor safar ki izaazat de to tum besak ja sakte ho." raghu nath panday ne kaha.

"doctor chaahe kuch bhi kahe mujhe jaana hi hoga." aditya ne kaha.

"beta aisi kya baat hai jo ki tum turant jaana chaahte ho." raghu nath ne pucha.

Tabhi doctor aa gaya.

"lo doctor saahib aa gaye." raghu nath ne kaha.

"badi khusi huyi mujhe aapko hosh mein dekh kar mr aditya." doctor ne kaha.

Doctor aditya ka check up karne ke baad bola, "sab kuch theek hai ab. Chinta ki koyi baat

nahi hai. Lekin abhi araam hi kijiye."


Doctor ke jaane ke baad aditya ne jaane ki baat nahi ki. Ushe pata tha ki chacha ji ushe nahi jaane denge. Magar ushe har haal mein delhi ke liye nikalna tha. Vo late gaya vaapis

bistar par chacha ji ko deekhane ke liye. Shaam ghir aayi thi. Aditya raat ko araam se nikal sakta tha. Ushne apna purse check kiya. Jyada paise nahi the ushme. Shukar hai

ATM tha ushme.

Raat ko sabke shone ke baad aditya chupchaap ghar se nikal diya. Ek taxi pakdi ushne airport ke liye. Raaste mein ushne ek ATM se paise nikalvaaye. Ek showroom se ushne naye kapde bhi kharid liye, kyonki jin kapdo mein vo tha va maile lag rahe the. Na jaane kyon ushki nazar ek jeans par padi aur vo ushne kharid li. “zarina ko pasand aayegi ye

jeans.” Showroom ke trial room mein hi ushne kapde change kar liye. Ushne khud jeans hi kharidi thi aur khub jach rahi thi ush par.

Ticket asaani se mil gayi ushe. Subah 4 baje ki flight thi. Aditya boarding paas lekar

security check karaane ke baad baith gaya boarding ke intezaar mein.

“kaisi hogi meri zarina, kya beeti hogi ush par ush Sunday ko. Kaash main apne gusse ko shaant rakh paata to ye naubat na aati. Magar meri jagah koyi bhi hota to aisa hi karta.

Mujhe maaf kardo zarina, tumhaara gunahgaar hun main. Aa raha hun ab tumhaare paas. Jaise hi hosh aaya mujhe main nikal pada hun tumhaare liye. Pata nahi kish haal mein ho

tum. Tum theek to ho na zarina ?” aankhe nam ho gayi aditya ki ye sab soch kar.

“Agar main coma mein nahi hota to bilkul aata main zarina chaahe pattiya bandhi hoti chaaro aur mere par aata jaroor.” Aditya bahut bhaavuk ho raha tha.

Swaabhik bhi tha. jab pyar aditya aur zarina ke pyar jaisa ho to bhaavuk ho jaana

sawabhavik hai.

Boarding ki announcement huyi to aditya fauran uth gaya. Ye ahsaas ki vo apni zarina ke paas ja raha hai ushke chehre par ronak bekhair gaya.

2 ghante mein vo mumbai se delhi pahunch gaya. Magar abhi subah ke 6 hi baje the.

“ushi hotel mein chalta hun jishme zarina ke saath thahra tha.”

Aa gaya aditya taxi lekar ushi hotel mein aur request karne par room no 114 hi mil gaya ushe. Subah ke 7 baj chuke the. Fresh ho kar breakfast kiya ushne. Kab 9 baj gaye pata hi

nahi chala. Room se check out nahi kiya ushne. “ek baar yahi vaapis aa kar ush din ki ladaayi ko yaad karenge. Kitne tadpe the hum dono ek dusre se lad kar.”


Chal diya aditya zarina se milne ki ummeed dil mein lekar ushki mausi ke ghar ki aur. Dil mein ek ajeeb si tadap aur bechaini thi ushke jishe sabdo mein nahi kaha ja sakta. Pyar

karne wale ish tadap ko bakhubi samajh sakte hain.

Aditya ko yaad tha address zarina ki mausi ka. Theek 10:30 par vo zarina ki mausi ke ghar ke baahar tha. darvaaja khadkaya ushne. Mausi ne darvaaja khola.

“kish se milna hai aapko.” Mausi ne kaha.

“mujhe zarina se milna hai, please bula dijiye ushe.”

Mausi to hairaan rah gayi ye shun kar, “kya tum aditya ho?”

“ji haan main aditya hun.”

Mausi ke chehre par dar ke bhaav ubhar aaye. Unhone baahar daayein..baayein jhaank

kar dekha aur aditya ko ander kheench liya.

“kishi aur se to zarina ke baare mein nahi pucha tumne.”

“nahi main seedha yahin aaya hun.” Aditya ne hairani mein kaha.

“kitne dino baad aaye ho. Kaisi mohabat thi tumhaare dil mein zarina ke liye. Bahut tadpti thi vo tumhaare liye aur tum aaj aaye ho, ek saal baad.”

“zarina kaha hai, ushe bula dijiye please.” Aditya gidgidaya

Mausi kuch bolne ki bajaaye khud phoot-phoot kar rone lagi. “vahi to pata nahi chal raha

ki kaha hai meri bachchi.”

“aap ye kya kah rahi hain.”

“sach kah rahi hun beta, kuch nahi pata ki vo kaha hai, kaisi hai, kish haal mein hai.”

Aditya to shun hi nahi saka ye sab. Bahut bechain ho gaya vo aur bola, “ye sab kaise huva, kya aap bataayengi.”

“pahle tum ye bataao ki tumhe aaj achaanak yaad kaise aa gayi zarina ki. Chithi mein to

tumne ushe le jaane ko likha tha. saara din vo balcony mein aa-aa kar paaglo ki tarah


tumhe dhund rahi thi. Kyon kiya tumne aisa meri bachchi ke saath.”

“main coma mein tha, nahi aa sakta tha..agar hosh hota mujhe to koyi taakat mujhe nahi rok sakti thi yaha aane se.” aditya mausi ko puri baat shunata hai.

“allah raham kare tum dono ki mahobat par. Main to samajh hi nahi paayi thi shuru mein

tum dono ke pyar ko. Jabardasti shaadi karva rahi thi zarina ki emran se.”

“emran…kaun emran.” Aditya ne hairaani mein pucha.

“emran ek aisa bahrupiya hai jishe samajhne mein maine bahut badi bhool ki thi. Shuno tumhe sab bataati hun tabhi tum puri baat samajh paaoge.”

“tumhaare baare mein pata chalne ke baad, maine to zarina ko ek kamre mein band kar diya tha. ek hafte ke ander shaadi kar dena chaahti thi zarina ki emran ke saath. Zarina bahut darkhaast karti thi mujhse ki meri baat shun lo ek baar. Par maine ushki ek nahi shuni. Par ek raat jab main ushe khana dene gayi to vo phoot-phoot kar rone lagi aur subakte huve boli, “mausi thoda sa zahar de do mujhe. Main jeena nahi chaahti. Main

aditya se bahut pyar karti hun. Main ushke shiva kishi aur se shaadi nahi kar sakti. Mera sharir aur meri rooh aditya ki hai mausi. Agar mere saath jabardasti ki gayi to main jaan de dungi apni. Par main kishi bhi haalat mein emran she shaadi nahi karungi. Aisa hone

se pahle main apni jaan de dungi.”

Mera to dil baith gaya ye sab shun kar. Maine darvaaja khola aur zarina ke paas aakar ush se pucha, “aakhir kya kaaran hai ki tum ush kaafir ke liye apni jaan bhi dene ko taiyaar

ho.”

“pyar karti hun main aditya se. vo bhi mujhe bahut pyar karta hai. Ushke kaaran hi jeenda hun main varna mar jaati kab ki. Ushi ne mujhe dango se bachaaya aur ushi ne mujhe

jeene ki chaah di. Varna main kab ki khud ko khatam kar chuki hoti.” Zarina ne subakte huve puri kahaani shunayi mujhe

Maine kaha, “hi rabba kitna bada gunaah karne ja rahe the hum. Meri bachchi mujhe maaf karde. Nahi hogi tumhaari shaadi emran se. lekin ye baat apne tak hi rakhna.

Shamim aur ushke abba ko bhanak bhi nahi lagni chaahiye ish sab ki.”

“mausi mera vo khatt mujhe vaapis dilva do.”

“dilva dungi….emran acha ladka hai vo de dega chupchaap vo khatt. Par ek baat bataao


tumhaara aditya to aaya nahi tumhe lene. Ushe to aana chaahiye tha agar itni mahobat thi tumse.”

“jaroor koyi baat rahi hogi mausi varna aditya jaroor aata. Bahut pyar karta hai vo mujhe. Mujhe jaane do mausi. Agar vo nahi aa paaya to main chali jaati hun. Main nahi rah sakti

ushke bina” zarina rone lagi thi ye bolte huve

Mujhe vo bilkul dewaani lag rahi thi. Maine kaha, “tum kaise jaaogi akele aur main saath chal nahi sakti. Kya karun.”

“main chali jaaungi mausi…mujhe jaane do…yaha main aur rahi to ghut-ghut kar mar

jaaungi.”

“ticket bhi to karvaana padega. Main karti hun kuch. Kal ya parso ka ticket karva deti hun. Tum chinta mat karo. Khana khaao chupchaap main ticket ka intezaam karti hun.”

Maine 2 din baad ka ticket karva diya zarina ka kishi ko bol kar. Emran kahi gaya huva tha ishliye ush se vo khatt nahi le paayi main. Pata nahi kaise ushe bhanak lag gayi ki

zarina gujrat ja rahi hai aur vo ush din subah aa dhamka yaha jish din zarina ko dopahar ko nikalna tha.

“khaala ye sab kya ho raha hai meri peeth peeche.”

“kya huva emran main kuch samjhi nahi.”

“hamein pata chala hai ki zarina aaj gujrat ja rahi hai. Kya main puch sakta hun ki meri

hone wali biwi mujhse puche bina gujrat kyon ja rahi hai.”

Mujhe bahut gussa aaya ushke aise bartaav par, main boli, “abhi vo biwi huyi nahi hai tumhaari emran. Aur maine ye shaadi na karne ka faisla liya hai. Zarina ko tum pasand

nahi ho.”

“haan-haan ushe to vo kaafir pasand hai. Ye hamaare pyar ki bejati hai khaala aur hum ye katayi bardaast nahi karenge.”

Maine pahli baar emran ko aise roop mein dekha tha. vo mujhse puche bina hi seedha

zarina ke kamre ki taraf chal diya.

Maine ushe toka, “emran ruko kaha ja rahe ho.”


“aap beech mein na pade khaala ye mere aur zarina ke beech ki baat hai.”

“ruko yahi…tum hote kaun ho aisa bolne wale.” Main chellayi

Par emran pahunch gaya zarina ke paas aur jab main vaha pahunchi to ushne zarina ke

baal pakad rakhe the. Dard se karaah rahi thi meri bachchi. Emran ush vakt ek shaitan lag raha tha mujhe.

Maine chudaane ki koshis ki par mujhe dhakka de diya emran ne. sar par mere bahut

gahri chot lagi. Ye to zarina ne himmat deekhayi. Ushke haath ke karib hi ek iron rakhi thi. Ushne utha kar vo emran ke sar par de maari. Emran gir gaya neeche. Hum dono

turant baahar aa gaye aur baahar se kundi laga di.

“zarina tum abhi nikal jaao yaha se. shamim aur ushke abba ko pata chal gaya to aur jyada musibat ho jaayegi. Tujhe to pata hi hai ki kish tarah se salma ko kaat daala tha un

dono ne. ish se pahle ki baat aur jyada bigde tum chali jaao yaha se aur apni jeendagi mein khus raho.

“mera vo khatt khaala.”

“khatt se jyada jaroori tumhaara yaha se nikalna hai. Ye emran darvaja taud dega jaldi hi. Tum jaao meri bachchi aur khuss raho. Bas yahi duva kar sakti hun main tumhaare liye.

Ish se jyada aur kuch nahi kar sakti tumhaare liye.”

Maine zarina ko paise bhi de diye taaki safar mein koyi dikkat na ho.

Magar zarina ko nikle abhi 10 minute hi huve the ki emran bhi darvaaja taud kar baahar aa gaya.

“khaala aapne ye acha nahi kiya. Hum aapko kabhi maaf nahi karenge. Main bhi dekhta

hun ki kaise pahunchti hai zarina gujrat. Agar vo meri nahi huyi to kishi ki bhi nahi hogi.” Emran nikal gaya ghar se anaap sanaap bakte huve. Ushka sahi charitra to mujhe

ush din hi pata chala tha. acha huva jo maine apni bhool sudhar li.

Magar beta ush din ke baad na zarina ka kuch pata hai na emran ka. Ush din se aaj tak kuch khabar nahi hai zarina ki. Na hi emran ka kuch ata pata hai.

“hey bhagbvaan itna kuch ho gaya zarina ke saath aur main vaha pada huva shota raha.


Ish se acha to bhagvaan mujhe maar hi dete.”

“allah raham kare tum dono ki mahobat par. Mujhse jo ban pada maine kiya. Ish se jyada kuch nahi kar sakti thi main.”

Ek Anokha Bandhan

Mausi ki baate shun kar aditya to bikhar sa gaya. samajh nahi pa raha tha ki kaise react kare. Zarina ke saath kya beeti hogi ye soch-soch kar ushka deemag ghum raha tha.

“kya aapne police mein complaint ki zarina ki gumshudgi ki?” aditya ne bhaavuk awaaj

mein pucha.

“ki thi beta ki thi. par kuch faayda nahi huva. Main gujrat bhi gayi thi ushe dhundne. Mujhe laga tha ki vo gujrat mein hi hogi tumhare saath. Par Tumhaare ghar to taala laga

tha. hamaari jaan-pahchaan ke jo log hain vaha sab se mili main. Pata nahi kyon yahi andesa hota hai ki kuch anhoni huyi hai ushke saath.”

“nahi…nahi aisa nahi ho sakta. Meri zarina ko kuch nahi ho sakta. Bhagvaan itne nirdayi

nahi ho sakte.” Aditya paaglo ki tarah bola. Baat hi kuch aisi thi.

“haan beta ummeed to main bhi yahi rakhti hun ki zarina theek hogi zaha bhi hogi.”

“bahut…bahut dhanyavaad aapka jo aapne itna kuch kiya zarina ke liye. Kya aap emran ke ghar ka pata bata sakti hain.” Aditya ne bhaavuk ho kar kaha.

“vaha mat jaana aur yaha aas paas kishi se baat bhi mat karna. Tumhaari jaan pe ban

aayegi. Chupchaap yaha se jaao beta. Yaha tum dono ke pyar ko koyi nahi samajh sakta.” Mausi ne kaha.

“phir bhi bata dijiye, kya pata koyi shuraag mil jaaye zarina ke baare mein.”

“theek hai beta, jaisi tumhaari marji.” Mausi ne kaha.

Zarina ki mausi ne aditya ko emran ka address bata diya aur boli, “sambhal kar rahna beta. Tumse koyi naata nahi hai..phir bhi pata nahi kyon tumhaari chinta ho rahi hai.”


“yahi insaaniyat hai…aap nek dil hain ishliye.. Mujhe zarina ko talaas karna hai. mujhe yakin hai ki vo jaha bhi higi sahi-salaamat hogi. Bhagvaan aisa anarth nahi kar sakte

hamaare saath. Dhanyavaad aapka jo aapne hamaare liye itna kuch kiya.”

“kaash kuch aur bhi kar paati beta. Jaao apna khyaal rakhna.”

Aditya ne mausi ke paanv chuve aur chal diya bhaari man se vaha se. bahut hi vyathit tha man ushka.

aditya mausi ke ghar se seedha emran ke ghar pahuncha. Ushne ghar ka darvaaja

khadkaaya to ek ladki ne darvaaja khola. “kya emran ka ghar yahi hai.”

“ji haan kahiye…kya kaam hai.” ladki ne kaha. Ladki ka naam samina tha. vo emran ki choti bahan thi.

“dekho main ghuma phira kar baat nahi karunga.”

“kishi ne kaha bhi nahi janaab aapse ki ghuma-phira kar kahein. Kya kaam hai jaldi

bataayein. Bahut kaam rahte hain mujhe” samina ne kaha.

“mera naam aditya hai. main zarina ki talaas kar raha hun. Ushi shilsile mein aaya hun yaha.” Aditya ne kaha.

Samina ko to gussa aa gaya ye shun ke, “to tum ho aditya.” Samina ne gala pakad liya

aditya ka. “bataao mere bhaiya kaha hain varna jaan se maar dungi.”

“kaun hai samina…kishke saath lad rahi ho.” Ander se samina ki ammi ne awaaj di.

“dekho…mujhe kuch nahi pata emran ke baare mein. Magar agar tumhe pata hai to bata do varna.” Aditya ne kaha.

“varna kya kar loge tum…tumhe jeenda nahi chodungi main. Bataao kaha hain mere

bhai.”

“chhodo mujhe…paagal ho gayi ho kya…chhodo.” Samina ne aditya ke gale ko kash ke pakad rakha tha. jab samina nahi maani to thak haar kar aditya ko ushe dhakka dena pada

aur vo dur zamin par ja kar giri. Ushka sar jamin se takraane ke kaaran halka sa khun nikal aaya ushke maathe se.


Aditya ye dekh kar vichlit ho gaya aur aage badh kar samina ko uthaaya, “maaf karna…main yaha ladaayi karne nahi aaya hun. Zarina ko dhund raha hun main. Apni zarina ko. Mujhe nahi pata emran kaha hai. main zarina ki talaas mein yaha aaya hun.

Vaise tum mujhe kaise jaanti ho.”

“bhaiya ki pant ki jeb se mila tha khatt tumhaara jo ki tumne zarina ke liye likha tha. tum dono ka pyar acha laga magar tum dono ke pyar ke kaaran mere bhaiya laa-pata hain. Mujhe tum dono ka hi haath lagta tha ish sab mein. Ishliye gussa kar rahi thi tumhaare

upar.”

“kal hosh aaya tha mujhe. Coma mein tha main ek saal se. zarina ko lene nahi aa saka tha ish kaaran. Aaj ushki mausi ke ghar gaya to pata chala ki vo gaayab hai ek saal se. pucho

mat kya gujri hai dil pe. Mujhe zarina ki mausi ne bataaya ki emran bhi ushi din se gaayab hai. vo gaya bhi tha zarina ke peeche hi. Bas apni zarina ko dhund raha hun main. Ushi ki talaas mujhe yaha le aayi. Maaf karna mujhe…mera koyi iraada nahi tha aapko

chot pahunchaane ka.”

“aap bhi mujhe maaf kar dijiye. Bahut dukhi hun apne bhai jaan ke kaaran. Ishliye aap par baras padi. Jab se bhaiya laapata huve hain, ish ghar mein maatam hai. ammi bistar par padi hai…abba bhi gujar gaye 6 mahine pahle. Sab kuch bikhar gaya hamaara. tabhi

gussa tha mujhe tum dono se. man hota tha ki mil jaao tum dono ek baar, to vo haal karun tum dono ka ki bhool jaaoge sab kuch.”

“main samajh sakta hun tumhaare jajbaat.” Aditya ne bhaavuk ho kar kaha

“kya naam hai tumhaara?”

“samina…”

“samina…kya kuch bhi aisa bata sakti ho jo ki mujhe kaam aa sake.”

“mujhe khud kuch nahi pata. Jitna aapko pata hai utna hi mujhe pata hai. tum zarina ko dhund rahe ho.agar mere bhaiya ki bhi kuch khabar lage to hamein bata dena. Bahut

meharbaani hogi aapki.”

“bilkul ye bhi kya kahne ki baat hai. chalta hun main….”

“chaaye pee kar jaayein aap to acha hoga.”


“nahi ..nahi takalluf ki koyi jaroorat nahi hai.” aditya ne kaha.

“jish din vo khatt mila mujhe bhaiya ki jeb se to samjhana chaahti thi unhe. Mujhe lag

gaya tha ki unki aur zarina ki Shaadi theek nahi rahegi. Magar ush din laute hi nahi ghar bhaiya. Aur aaj tak unka kuch ata-pata nahi hai.” ro padi samina bolte-bolte.

“main samajh raha hun tumhaare dukh ko. Main bhi zarina ke liye utna hi pareshaan hun,

jitna ki tum emran ke liye.”

“tum ruko main chaaye laati hun.”

“chaaye ki jagah agar vo khatt de do to maharbaani hogi. Zarina ke liye hai vo. Bas ushi ka haq hai ush par.”

“la hi rahi thi main. Main ushe rakh kar kya karungi.” Samina ne kaha.

Samina chaaye ke saath-saath aditya ka likha huva khatt bhi le aayi.

“shukriya aapka ish khatt ke liye. Chaaye nahi pee paaunga. Kuch man nahi hai abhi.

Please bura mat maan-na.” aditya ne kaha.

“main tut padi thi aap par jaise hi aap aaye. Agar chaaye pee kar jaayenge to dil ko shukun milega ki aapne mujhe maaf kar diya.” Samina ke kaha.

“theek hai aapki khatir pee leta hun.” Aditya ne kaha aur chaaye ka cup utha liya tray se.

Aditya ne chupchaap chaaye pee aur samina ka shukriya karke vaha se chal diya. Ushe

kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ki aakhir kaha gaayab ho gaye zarina aur emran.

Aditya pura din vahi aas paas ghumta raha. Hotel jaane ka man hi nahi huva ushka.

Shaam ko vaapis aakar bistar par gir gaya vo. “hey bhagvaan ye kaisi saja di hai aapne hamein. Kya hum dono ke saath aisa karna jaroori tha. ek baar kya beechde dubaara

milna naamumkin sa lag raha hai. agar hamein pyar ke rishte mein baandhne ke baad yahi sab karna tha to ish se acha yahi hota ki aap hamein maar daalte. Ab kaha dhundu zarina

ko. ” aankhe bhar aayi aansuvo se ye bolte huve aditya ki.

Aditya ko vo din yaad aa gaya jab vo zarina ke saath ushi room mein ruka tha. kitne


khuss the vo dono. Vo pyar aur takraar ushe baar-baar yaad aa raha tha. zarina ka bistar ko hathiyana anaayas hi ushke honto par mushkaan bikher gaya aur aur vo hanste hanste

ro pada, “kaha ho tum zarina…kaha ho. ”

Aditya utha fauran aur ushne apne ghar chalne ka faisla kiya. Hotel se check out karke vo seedha delhi ke airport pahuncha aur gujrat ke liye ticket kharidi. Raat 10 baje ki flight thi. vo 12 baje pahunch gaya vaapis apne sahar. Bahut hi dukhi man se badh raha tha

apne ghar ki taraf. Airport se ushne ek taxi le li thi. jab taxi ne ushe ushke ghar ke baahar chhoda to vo bhaavuk ho gaya, “kaise jaaun ish ghar mein, tumhaare bina, zarina…kaha

ho tum.”

Aditya taxi wale ko bhaada dena bhi bhool gaya. taxi se utar kar ghar ki taraf chal diya.

“sir 200 Rs huve.”

“oh haan…main bhool gaya sorry.” Aditya ne 200 Rs nikaal kar taxi wale ko de diye.

“aditya ne darvaaja khol kar light jalaayi to hairaan rah gaya. darvaaje ke paas hi bahut saare khatt pade the. Ushne turanr ek khatt uthaaya…khatt zarina ka tha. aditya ki aankhe

chamak uthi zarina ka khatt dekh kar. Ushne saare khatt dekhe utha ke. Har khatt ke peeche ek hi naam likha tha, zarina.

Ek Anokha Bandhan

22.04.2003

Aditya ne saare khatt date wise set kiye aur baith gaya sofe par. Ghar mein har taraf dhool mitti bikhri padi thi. magar ushka dhyaan sirf zarina ki cheethiyon par tha. ushne

sofe ko ache se jhaad kar khatt rakh diye aur pahla khatt padhna shuru kiya. Khatt 8 april 2002 ki date ka tha.

“Mere pyare aditya,

Tum nahi aa paaye delhi mujhe lene. Kya puch sakti hun ki kyon nahi aa paaye. Chalo chodo koyi ladaayi nahi karna chaahti tumse. ek ladaayi ke baad hi ye haal hai dusri

ladaayi huyi to pata nahi kya hoga. Koyi baat nahi mere aditya. Main khud aa gayi hun gujrat. Par ye kya aditya tumhara kuch ata-pata hi nahi hai. kaha ho tum aditya. Kya

mujhse koyi bhool ho gayi hai jo ki mujhe akela tadapne ko chhod gaye ho.


Tumhe nahi pata kin mushkilon ka saamna karke pahunchi hun main gujrat. Aur yahaan kuch samajh nahi aa raha ki kahaan jaaun. Tumhare shiva koyi bhi to nahi hai mera. Ab

kya karun aditya kuch samajh nahi aa raha.

Pareshaan hun tumhare liye. Kuch to baat jaroor hogi varna tum mujhe lene jaroor aate. Main akeli aayi hun aur bahut mushkil se aayi hun. Tum miloge to tumhe bataaungi.

Abhi tumhe dhund rahi hun har taraf. Par tumhaara kuch pata nahi chal raha. Tumhaare ghar ke aas paas kuch puchne ki himmat nahi huyi. Shuna hai ki maahol abhi bhi tanaav

bhara hai. mujhe dar lag raha hai aditya.

magar sabse badi dikkat ye hai ki kaha jaaun ab. Tumhaare ghar taala laga hai. chaabi hoti mere paas to ghuss jaati khol kar chupchaap. Vo ghar mera hi to hai na aditya.

Hamaara ghar hai..jaha hum ek mahina saath rahe the. Vahin to hamaare dilon mein pyar jaaga tha. ham dono ka pyara ghar hai vo, pyar ki yaadon mein duba huva ghar.

Hamaare ghar ke paas jo market hai vahi gujrati restaurant mein baith kar likh rahi hun ye sab. Samajh nahi aa raha ki kaha jaaun ab. Tum agar vaapis aao to mera khatt padh kar

turant apne college aa jaana. Vahi canteen mein milungi main. Intezaar karungi tumhaara please jaldi aana…mujhe aur kitna tadpaaoge tum. khud to nahi aaye mujhe lene ab main

aa gayi hun to pata nahi kaha ho. Tum milo ek baar khub ladungi tumse. Par ish baar ladaayi karke dur nahi jaaungi tumse. Bahut bhool huyi thi mujhse ush din. Bina soche

samjhe mausi ke ghar aa gayi thi. mujhe hotel jaana chaahiye tha. ush ek galti ki vajah se aaj tak hum mil nahi paaye. Ab aur pata nahi kitna intezaar karna padega. Khatt milte hi aa jaana college der mat karna bahut bechain hun main tumse milne ke liye. Itni bechain

ki tum andaaja bhi nahi laga sakte. Jaldi aana please………..

Tumhaare intezaar mein Tumhaari zarina.”

Zarina ke likhe har bol se aditya ke tan-badan mein halchal ho rahi thi. aankhe chalak uthti thi ushki har ek bol ko padh kar. Ush khatt se ek baar phir ye baat clear ho rahi thi

ushe ki zarina jitna pyar koyi nahi kar sakta ushe.

“oh…zarina, kitna anmol pyar hai tumhaara mere liye. Tumhaara gunahgaar ban gaya hun. Jish vakt tumhe meri sabse jyada jaroorat thi main yaha nahi tha. main kitna bekaar


feel kar raha hun kah nahi sakta. Kaash main hota yaha ush din to apni palke beecha kar swaagat karta tumhaara. bahut bebas mahsus kar raha hun main ye sab padh kar. Dekhta

hun agle khatt mein kya hai.” aditya ne apne aansuvo ko ponchte huve kaha.

Aditya ne agla khatt uthaaya. Khatt 9 april 2002 ko likha gaya tha.

“Zarina ne khud yaha aakar ye khatt daale hain. Post office ki koyi stamp ya ticket nahi hai. dekhta hun ishme kya likha hai zarina ne.” aditya ne kaha aur padhna shuru kiya.


Aakhir baat kya hai aditya. kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha. Tum theek to ho na. kahi se

bhi koyi khabar nahi mil rahi tumhaari. Saara din main baithi rahi college ki canteen mein tumhaare intezaar mein. Aakhir kyon tadpa rahe ho mujhe itna tum. tumhaare kuch dosto

se bhi baat ki maine. Par kishi ko kuch nahi pata tumhaare baare mein.

Tum kitne nirdayi nikle aditya. Agar kahi jaana hi tha tumhe to kam se kam koyi message to chod jaate mere liye. Maine likha tha na tumhe ki agar tum nahi aaye mujhe lene to

main khud aa jaaungi. Aa gayi hun main khud hi. Par ab aa kar sar chupaane ke liye jagah ko taras rahi hun. College mein hostel bhi nahi mil raha. Mere paas koyi bhi saboot nahi hai ki main ish college ki student hun. Sab kuch to jal chuka hai dango mein. Ab kaise samjhaaun in logo ko. ek din ke liye bhi koyi kamra dene ko taiyaar nahi hai. ab kaha jaaun aditya kuch samajh nahi aa raha. Mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai. Kal bhi college mein hi milungi tumhe yahi canteen mein. Dekhti hun kuch aaj ki kaha rukun. Ajeeb musibat mein daal diya hai tumne mujhe. Man to kar raha hai ki taala taud kar ghuss

jaaun main ghar mein. Mera bhi haq hai ush par. Par vaha maahol theek nahi hai aur logo ne dekh liya to musibat ho jaayegi. Vaise bhi tumhaare bina mujhe vaha dar hi lagega.

Vaise kitni ajeeb baat ho rahi hai. kabhi main tumhe dekhna bhi pasand nahi karti thi ish college mein aur aaj aankhe bas tumhe hi khoj rahi hain. Aur ishi baat ka faayda utha kar

tum mujhe sata rahe ho. Majaak kar rahi hun. Majaak mein dard bhi hai thoda sa. Pareshaan jo hun. Mujhe pata hai jaroor koyi majboori hogi tumhaari aditya varna tum

jaroor aate. Ye cheethi bhi daal dungi tumhaare ghar mein. Dar lagta hai vaha jaate huve. Apne jale huve ghar ko dekh kar ammi, abba aur fatima ki yaad aati hai bahut. Dar lagta

hai bahut jab apne ghar ko dekhti hun. Par koyi chaara bhi to nahi. ye khatt khud hi daalna hoga tumhaare ghar mein. Jaha bhi ho jaldi aa jaao aur dekho ki main kish haal

mein hun.


Tumhaari zarina.”

Aditya phoot pada ish baar. Rokna mushkil ho raha tha, “kyon mere bhagvaan kyon kiya aisa hamaare saath. Pyar karne walo ke saath aisa hargiz nahi hona chaahiye. Main kyon

nahi tha yaha…..dekhta hun aage kya kiya zarina ne.”

Aditya ne teesra khatt uthaaya. “16 april 2002, pure ek hafte baad likhi zarina ne ye.” Aditya hairat mein pad gaya ki kya huva hoga zarina ke saath ish ek hafte ke dauran.

Aditya ne padhna shuru kiya.


Mil gaya hai aasra mujhe chinta ki koyi baat nahi hai. chinta ki baat bas ye hai ki tumhaara abhi bhi kuch ata-pata nahi hai. roj ek baar jaroor jaati hun ghar tumhaare. Vahi manhoos taala tanga rahta hai. tumhaari factory bhi gayi thi main tumhe dhundne. Badi

mushkil se pata kiya tha address ushka. Magar vaha acha vayvahaar nahi huva mere saath. Kuch log mujhe chedne lage vaha. Maine ek vyakti se pucha bhi tumhaare baare mein magar ushe bhi kuch nahi pata tha. jyada der nahi ruk paayi vaha. Bahut hi bekaar maahol hai aditya vaha. Kuch karna ish baare mein tum. jish tarah se log ghur rahe the mujhe, mujhe bahut hi dar lag raha tha. ek ummeed le kar gayi thi factory tumhaari aur

bhaybeet ho kar lauti vaha se.

Main ab ek chote se school mein padha rahi hun. Ush din college se tumhaare ghar aayi shaam ko to ahmad chacha mil gaye mujhe. Tumne bhi dekha hoga unhe kayi baar

hamaare ghar aate-jaate huve. Unhone bhi apna sab kuch kho diya dango mein. Unki do betiyon ki izzat luti gayi unhi ke saamne aur unke bete ka sar kaat diya gaya unhi ke

saamne. Unhe bhi maar daalte vo log shukar hai police aa gayi thi vakt par.

Ahmad chacha ek school chala rahe hain jishme ki anaath bachcho ko shiksha di ja rahi hai. bahut bachche anaath kiye in dango ne aditya. Koyi 50 bachche hain school mein.

Mujhe dekh kar ahmad chacha ne mujhe request ki, ki main unke saath jud jaaun kyonki unhe teacher ki jaroorat hai. mere liye ish se achi baat nahi ho sakti thi. school mein hi rahne ko kamra mil gaya. aur ek nek kaam karne ka moka diya allaah ne mujhe. Bahut

acha laga mujhe ish school se jud kar. Magar ab ek hi chinta hai. tum pata nahi kaha ho, kish haal mein ho. Samajh mein nahi aa raha ki kish se pata karun. Jo bhi kar sakti thi sab kiya maine, magar kahi bhi kuch pata nahi chal raha tumhaare baare mein. Ab bahut hi


jyada chinta ho rahi hai tumhaari. Agar ghar aao to seedhe school aa jaana. Main vahi milungi. School bilkul bus stand ke paas jo maszid hai ushke paas hai. kishi se bhi puch

lena ki ahmad chacha ka school kaun sa hai…sab bata denge.

college chod diya hai maine aditya. Tumhaare bina vaha jaakar karungi bhi kya. Tum aaoge to phir se join kar lenge hum dono. Magar akele nahi jaaungi vaha. Ahmad chacha kahte rahte hain ki college jaao…magar main hargiz nahi jaaungi. Aditya ab inteha ho

chuki hai….please aa jaao ab aur kitna tadpaaoge tum. mar hi na jaaun kahi main tumhaare intezaar mein. Please…………….

Tumhaari zarina.”

Aditya ne aakhri khatt chhod kar saare khatt padh liye. Har khatt mein zarina ne apni tadap aur bechaini ko bakhubi likh rakha tha. vo detail mein school ki activities bhi likh rahi thi. finally aditya ne aakhri khatt uthaaya. Vo 1.04.2003 ko likha huva tha. aditya ne

vo bhi padhna shuru kiya.


Dheere-dheere ek saal beet gaya aur tumhara abhi bhi kuch ata-pata nahi hai. sach kah rahi hun bahut chinta ho rahi hai tumhaari. Lekin main kya karun kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha. Roj ki tarah aaj bhi gayi thi ghar. Vahi taala tanga mila aaj bhi. Ush taale ne meri jeendagi barbaad kar di hai aditya. Ek saal se dekh rahi hun ush taale ko. roj khub bhala

bura kah kar aati hun ush taale ko.

Vaise bachcho ko khub shiksha deti hun main ki ummeed ka daaman nahi chhodna chaahiye, magar khud main beekhar chuki hun. Koyi bhi ummeed nahi hai jeendagi mein.

Agar jeenda hun to in bachcho ki khaatir. Man lagaaye rakhte hain mera ye. Inhein padhaane mein vakt beet jaata hai.

Itne khatt likh diye hain tumhe, jab tum aaoge to padhte padhte thak jaaoge. Haan mujhe halki si ummeed hai abhi bhi ki tum jaroor aaoge. ye likhte vakt aansu gir rahe hain ish kaagaz par. Padhte vakt tumhe akshar kuch dhundle lagenge. Apne aansu bhi bhej rahi

hun ish khatt ke saath unhe bhi padhna aur andaaja lagaana ki kish kadar tadpi hun main tumhaare liye. Bas aur nahi likh paaungi ab.

Aditya bechain ho gaya ab. Aansuvo ki barsaat ho rahi thi ushki aankho se. aansu gam aur khusi dono rango mein dube huve the. Gam tha ish baat k

ushke liye aur khusi thi ish baat ki, ki ab vo apni zarina se milne ja raha tha. unke pyar ka imtehaan ab khatam hone ja raha tha.

Khatt padhte-padhte aadhi raat ho gayi thi. vo bechain ho raha tha ahmad chacha ke school jaane ke liye. Aur vo bas bina soche samjhe nikalne hi wala tha ki ushki nigaah

ghar ki haalat par padi, “sharam karo aditya, dekho kitna ganda ho rakha hai ghar. Chaaro taraf dhool…mitti bikhri padi hai. Zarina dekhegi to kya kahegi. Pahle ushke swaagat

mein ye ghar to chamka lo…phir le kar aana zarina ko.”

Bas phir kya tha aditya paaglo ki tarah jut gaya ghar ki safaayi mein. Ghar ke har kone ko chamkaana mein lag gaya vo. Raat ke 3 baje laga tha safaayi mein aur safaayi karte

subah ke 7 baj gaye. Ek pal kmein. Aakhir ushki jaan se pyari zarina jo aa rahi thi.

“main aa raha hun zarina aa raha hun main. Bas ab hum aur nahi tadpenge ek dusre ke liye. Bahut kuch saha tumne ish pyar ke liye. Mere liye to Jab pyar hi bhagvaan hota hai to tumhe ye upaadhi di ja sakti hai kyonki itna gahra pyar

shaayad hi koyi kishi ko karta hoga. Dhanya ho gaya hun main tumhe apni zeendagi mein paakar. Main bas nahaa lun…kahi tum kaho ki badboo ader mein hum milne wale hain, Bahut lambe intezaar ke baad. Main aa raha hun zarina

Apni premika se milne ke ahsaas mein dub gaya tha aditya. Paanv nahi tik rahe jamin par. Tan-badan mein ek ajeeb si sensation ho rahi thi. meetha meetha sa ahsaas har vakt ushe ghere huve tha. tadap aur bechaini bhi utni hi thi.ye ahsaas har ush insaan ne mahsus kiye honge jishne kabhi pyar kiya hoga. Apne pyar se milne ki

Tumhaari zarina”

Aditya bechain ho gaya ab. Aansuvo ki barsaat ho rahi thi ushki aankho se. aansu gam aur khusi dono rango mein dube huve the. Gam tha ish baat ka ki, bahut tadpi zarina

ushke liye aur khusi thi ish baat ki, ki ab vo apni zarina se milne ja raha tha. unke pyar ka imtehaan ab khatam hone ja raha tha.

padhte aadhi raat ho gayi thi. vo bechain ho raha tha ahmad chacha ke liye. Aur vo bas bina soche samjhe nikalne hi wala tha ki ushki nigaah


har to chamka lo…phir le kar aana zarina ko.”

Bas phir kya tha aditya paaglo ki tarah jut gaya ghar ki safaayi mein. Ghar ke har kone ko chamkaana mein lag gaya vo. Raat ke 3 baje laga tha safaayi mein aur safaayi karte

subah ke 7 baj gaye. Ek pal ko bhi nahi ruka aditya. Bas laga raha ghar ko chamkaane mein. Aakhir ushki jaan se pyari zarina jo aa rahi thi.

“main aa raha hun zarina aa raha hun main. Bas ab hum aur nahi tadpenge ek dusre ke

liye. Bahut kuch saha tumne ish pyar ke liye. Mere liye to tum hi bhagvaan ban gayi ho. Jab pyar hi bhagvaan hota hai to tumhe ye upaadhi di ja sakti hai kyonki itna gahra pyar

shaayad hi koyi kishi ko karta hoga. Dhanya ho gaya hun main tumhe apni zeendagi mein paakar. Main bas nahaa lun…kahi tum kaho ki badboo aa rahi hai mujhse. Bas kuch hi der mein hum milne wale hain, Bahut lambe intezaar ke baad. Main aa raha hun zarina

bas aa raha hun………

Bas phir kya tha aditya paaglo ki tarah jut gaya ghar ki safaayi mein. Ghar ke har kone ko chamkaana mein lag gaya vo. Raat ke 3 baje laga tha safaayi mein aur safaayi karte-karte

o bhi nahi ruka aditya. Bas laga raha ghar ko chamkaane mein. Aakhir ushki jaan se pyari zarina jo aa rahi thi.

“main aa raha hun zarina aa raha hun main. Bas ab hum aur nahi tadpenge ek dusre ke tum hi bhagvaan ban gayi ho.

Jab pyar hi bhagvaan hota hai to tumhe ye upaadhi di ja sakti hai kyonki itna gahra pyar shaayad hi koyi kishi ko karta hoga. Dhanya ho gaya hun main tumhe apni zeendagi mein

a rahi hai mujhse. Bas kuch hi der mein hum milne wale hain, Bahut lambe intezaar ke baad. Main aa raha hun zarina

Apni premika se milne ke ahsaas mein dub gaya tha aditya. Paanv nahi tik rahe the ushke badan mein ek ajeeb si sensation ho rahi thi. meetha meetha sa ahsaas har

vakt ushe ghere huve tha. tadap aur bechaini bhi utni hi thi.ye ahsaas har ush insaan ne mahsus kiye honge jishne kabhi pyar kiya hoga. Apne pyar se milne ki tadap har premi


ke ander kuch aisa hi ahsaas jagaati hai.

Aditya naha kar baahar aaya to ushe samajh nahi aaya ki kya pahne. Bechaini kuch ish kadar haavi thi ushke upar ki kuch decide karna mushkil ho raha tha. ushne almira se blue

jeans nikaali aur pahan li. Ushke upar ushne white shirt pahan li.

“ek baar khub taarif ki thi zarina ne ish combination ki. Main naha kar ye kapde pahan kar nikla tha to vo turant boli thi, ‘arey waah aditya, blue jeans aur white shirt kitni pyari

lag rahi hai tumhaare upar.’

Aditya ne khud ko sheese mein dekha aur bola, “tum dur se dekhte hi pahchaan jaaogi mujhe in kapdo mein. Aa raha hun zarina…ab aur dur nahi rahenge hum.”

Baalon ko khub dhyaan se sanvara aditya ne. chehre par ache se cream ragad li. Koyi

kami nahi chodna chaahta tha. ye bhi pyar hi hai. Aap jishe pyar karte hain ushke saamne shunder deekhne ki chaahat sab mein hoti hai.

“kaash bike hoti to raat ko bhi aa sakta tha tumhaare paas zarina. bike ush din factory hi

chhod aaya tha. chalo koyi baat nahi zarina. Ghar ki safaayi kar di hai tumhaare sawaagat mein. Apna dil beecha diya hai ghar ke darvaaje par. Jab tum parvesh karogi yaha to ghar ka kona kona mahak uthega. Tumhe nahi pata zarina. Ghar ke taale ke kaaran tum hi nahi tadpi…balki ye ghar bhi tadpa tumhare liye. Jab main ish ghar mein ghussa to ish ghar ki tadap mahsus ki tumhaare liye. Bilkul zarina Tumhaara hi to ghar hai ye. Hamaara ghar hai jaha har kone mein hamaara pyar basa hai. Aur sukun ki baat ye hai ki yaha ab sukh

shaanti hai. Hum dono chain se rahenge ish ghar mein.”

Aditya honto par mushkaan liye ghar se baahar nikla. Vo aisi mushkaan thi jish mein pyar hi pyar basa tha. Ushke ghar ke bilkul saamne ghanshyam modi rahte the. Unhone aditya ko dekh liya. Turant bhaag kar aaye ushke paas aur bole, “arey aditya beta, kaha

the tum. Sab kushal mangal to hai. Deekhayi nahi deeye kaafi din se.”

“kya aapko nahi pata ki mujh par hamla huva tha. mere ghar ke baahar hi.”

“nahi beta mujhe to kuch nahi pata. Kab huva ye sab.”

“ek saal pahle huva tha.” aditya ne modi ko puri baat bataayi. Magar aditya ne jaanbujh kar ye nahi bataaya ki jhagda zarina ke kaaran huva tha.

“oh bahut dukh huva jaan kar. Darasal un dino maahol bahut kharaab tha beta. Shaam


dhalte hi gharo mein ghuss jaate the hum sabhi. Tabhi shaayad kishi ko pata nahi chala tumhaare baare mein. Shukar hai ki ab sab sukh shaanti hai yaha. Bahut bura vakt dekha

hai ham sabhi ne yaha vadodara mein.”

“mujhe jaldi kahi jaana hai uncle baad mein milte hain.” Aditya ne kaha.

“haan bilkul beta. Acha laga tumhe itne dino baad dekh kar. Milte hain tassali se tum ho aao. Haan par ek baat bataani thi tumhe.”

“haan boliye.”

“abdul shiekh ki jo beti thi zarina…ushe aksar dekha maine tumhaare ghar mein kuch daalte huve. Vaise acha laga ushe jeenda dekh kar. Ushka pura parivaar to khatam ho gaya tha. bas vahi bachi hai. Kuch din pahle maine ush se baat karni chaahi magar vo

mere awaaj dene par bhaag gayi.”

“hmm vo dar gayi hogi uncle…”

“vaise tum dono parivaaron mein to bilkul nahi banti thi. ushka tumhaare ghar mein kuch daalna mujhe ajeeb laga.”

“baad mein baat karunga uncle. Abhi bahut jaldi mein hun.” Aditya ek minute bhi rukne

ko taiyaar nahi tha. tadap hi kuch aisi thi.

Aditya ne gali se baahar aa kar ek auto pakda aur chal diya ahmad chacha ke school ki taraf. Jaise-jaise school nazdik aa raha tha vaise-vaise ushki bechaini badh rahi thi.

“aakhri khat 1.04.2003 ko likha tha ushne. 1 se lekar 21 tak koyi khatt nahi daala ushne. Normally ushne har hafte ek khatt daala hai. Meri zarina theek to hai na bhagvaan. Ab

aur koyi problem nahi chaahiye mujhe apni jeendagi mein. Mujhe pata hai aap itne nirdayi nahi ho sakte. Magar phir bhi na jaane kyon dil ghabra raha hai” anayaas hi

khyaal aa gaya tha aditya ko in baaton ka. Dil ghabraane laga tha ushka.

Auto wale ne utaar diya aditya ko maszid ke baahar. “kitne paise huve bhaiya.”

“50 rupees.”

Aditya ne purse nikaal kar ushe 50 Rs pakdaaye aur ush se pucha, “kya aapko ahmad chacha ke school ka pata hai ki vo kaha hain.”


“mujhe aise kishi school ka nahi pata. Kishi aur se puch lijiye.” Auto wale ne kaha aur chala gaya vaha se.

Aditya ne chaaro taraf nazar daudayi. Koyi school nazar nahi aaya ushe vaha. Na koyi school ka board tha na hi bachcho ka shor. Vah maszid ke paas gaya aur ushke baahar

khade ek vyakti se pucha, “bhai ye ahmad chacha ka school kaha hai.”

“school to maszid ke peechli taraf hai. magar abhi vo band hai.”

“band hai, kyon band hai bhai.”

“Mujhe nahi pata ish baare mein.” Vo aadmi bol kar vaha se chala gaya.

Aditya ko kishi anhoni ki aashnka hone lagi. Vo turant gaya maszid ke peeche. Ek maidan tha vaha jishke chaaro taraf chaar divaari thi. 8 kamre bane the vaha. Magar sabhi

par taale tange the ek ko chhod kar.”

Aditya turant mukhya dwaar khol kar ander aaya. Koyi bhi deekhayi nahi de raha tha. ek kamra jo khula tha vo turant ushki aur badha. Ander ek kursi par ek bujurg baitha tha.

ushke saamne ek table rakhi huyi thi.

“excuse me kya ye ahmad chacha ka hi school hai.”

“haan bilkul vahi school hai. kya kaam hai tumhe beta.”

“mujhe zarina se milna hai…kya aap bata sakte hain ki vo kaha hai.”

Vo bujurg turant apni kursi se utha aur bola, “kahi tum aditya to nahi”

“ji haan main aditya hi hun. Aap kaise jaante hain mujhe.”

Ush bujurg ne turant aage badh kar aditya ko gale laga liya aur bola, “allaah ka shukar hai ki tum aa gaye. Beta bahut khusi huyi tumhe dekh kar. Main hi hun ahmad chacha aur

main hi chala raha hun ye school.”

“zarina kaha hain…mujhe please ush se milva dijiye.”

“5 din intezar karna hoga tumhe beta. Zarina mussoorie gayi huyi hai bachcho ko lekar. 20 din ka tour banaaya tha bachcho ke liye.”


“mussoorie!.” Aditya udaas ho gaya. Magar man hi man khus tha ki sab khusal mangal

hai.

“haan beta…5 din baad laut aayegi vaha se. Vo to jaana hi nahi chaahti thi. badi mushkil se bheja ushe.”

“aapne bataaya nahi ki aap kaise jaante hain mujhe.”

“zarina to gumsum rahti thi beta. Bataati nahi thi kuch. Magar roj nikal jaati thi school se

ye kah kar ki kuch kaam hai. chinta rahti thi mujhe ushki. Ek din gaya ushke peeche chupchaap. Gaya to paaya ki vo tumhaare ghar jaati hai cheethi daalne. Bahut puchne par bataaya ushne. Bata kar boli ki nahi bataana chaahti thi kyonki koyi samjhega nahi. Beta

tum dono ke baare mein shun kar yahi laga ki insaaniyat ki mishaal ho tum dono. Jo tumne zarina ke liye kiya vo koyi aam insaan nahi kar sakta.”

“mussoorie mein kaha ruke hain vo log.” Aditya ne pucha

“kya tum jaana chaahte ho vaha.”

“ji haan jaaye bina koyi chaara nahi hai. hum dono kuch aisi haalat mein hain ki mile

bina gujara nahi hai. aapko shaayad ye paagal pan lagega magar hamaari haalat hi kuch aisi ho rahi hai.”

“samajh sakta hun beta. Zarina nahi bataati mujhe to kabhi nahi samajh paata.”

Ahmad chacha ne ush jagah ka address de diya jaha zarina bachcho ke saath ruki huyi

thi.

“acha main chalta hun chacha ji. Aapne meri anupasthiti mein zarina ke liye jo bhi kiya ushke liye bahut aabhari hun.”

“kaisi baat karte ho beta. Maine kuch nahi kiya. Balki ushke aane se school chalaane

mein bahut madad mili mujhe. Bachche ushke control mein rahte hain. Bas ushi ki shunte hain. Bilkul ek ideal teacher ban gayi hai zarina. Bahut madad mili mujhe ushke aane se.”

“theek hai chacha ji main chalta hun.”


“mussoorie jaaoge tum ab.”

“ji haan aur koyi chaara nahi hai.” aditya ne kaha aur vaha se chal diya.

Aditya school se ghar aaya aur ek beg pack kiya. Ushmein ushne kuch kapde rakh liye. Jaroorat ka aur samaan bhi rakh liya aur nikal diya vadodara airport ke liye. Delhi ki

flight li ushne. Shaam ke 5 baje delhi pahunch gaya vo. Delhi se ushne mussoorie ke liye taxi ki. Raat ke 2 baje pahuncha vo mussoorie. Ush time zarina ke paas jaane ka koyi matlab nahi tha. aur raat ko address dhundne mein bhi dikkat thi. taxi wale ne saaf bol

diya tha ki vo library point par chhod dega. Mussoorie ka jyada kuch nahi pata tha driver ko. Library point par bahut saare hotels the. Ruk gaya aditya ek hotel mein.

Bahut thak gaya tha lambe safar se aditya. Coma se uthne ke baad vo bas idhar udhar

bhaag daud mein laga tha. araam kiya hi kaha tha ushne. Bistar par padte hi neend aa gayi aditya ko.

“tum aa gaye aditya…kitni der kar di tumne. Main agar mar jaati to” zarina mushkurayi.

“zarina! Aisa mat kaho” utha gaya aditya sapne se. ushne light jalaayi aur dekha ki subah

ke 5 baj rahe hain.

“pahli baar sapne mein aayi tum zarina. Dhanya ho gaya main apne bhagvaan ko sapne mein dekh kar. Ab haqeeqat mein dekhne ka bhi vakt aa gaya hai zarina. Aaj ham har

haal mein mil kar rahenge.” Aditya fauran uth gaya bistar se.

Naha dho kar saade 6 baje tak taiyaar bhi ho gaya aur nikal pada hotel se. ushne ek taxi pakdi library point se aur nikal pada kempty falls ki taraf. Ushke nazdik hi ek kasbe mein

ruki thi zarina.

7 baje pahunch gaya vo ush jagah par. Bachcho ke shor se ushke dil ko tassalli mili ki vo sahi jagah pahunch gaya hai. bachcho ki awaaj gunj rahi thi har taraf. Awaaj ki taraf ushke paanv kheenche chale gaye. Ek bahut bada ghar tha, jishke baahar bahut saare

bachche khel rahe the. Ek bujurg baitha tha kursi beechaye aur 2 ladkiyan bachcho ko sambhaalne ki koshis kar rahi thi. ek ka naam rashida tha aur dusri ka naam anjum tha. bachche apne swabhaav ke anusaar idhar udhar bhaag rahe the. Aditya ko zarina kahi nazar nahi aa rahi thi. aditya

har taraf ghur-ghur kar dekh raha tha.

rashida ki nazar aditya par padi to vo ushke paas aayi “kya kaam hai aapko. Kab se dekh


rahi hun ghur-ghur kar dekhe ja rahe hain. Bachcho ko agva karne ka iraada hai kya aapka.”

“nahi aap mujhe galat samajh rahe hain. Main darasal zarina ko dhund raha tha. kaha hai

vo”

“zarina ko dhund rahe the ? kyon dhund rahe the zarina ko. Kya kaam hai ush se.”

“mera naam aditya hai aur main gujrat se aaya hun. Please jaldi se ushe bula dijiye”

“tum aditya ho?”

“haan kyon? Aapko koyi shak hai.”

“nahi…hairaan hun aapko dekh kar. Zarina ko bahut tadpaaya aapne.”

“kya aap zarina ko bula sakti hain.”

“dheere bolo. Yaha kishi aur ko zarina aur tumhaare baare mein nahi pata. Mandir gayi hai vo aaj. Kuch dino se soch rahi thi jaane ko. Kah rahi thi ki mandir mein bhi fariyaad

laga du aditya ke liye. Kya pata vo aa jaaye vaapis mere paas.”

“kaha hai ye mandir.”

“paas mein hi hai. aap shaayad dusre raaste se aaye hain varna zarina raaste mein hi mil jaati aapko. bas abhi thodi der pahle hi nikli thi zarina. Thodi der pahle aate to mil hi jaati

aapko.”

“rashida kaun hai ye” unko ush bujurg ki awaaj aayi jo kursi par baitha tha. ushka naam rahmaan tha.

“jaao tum ab. Zarina se baahar mandir mein hi mil lo. Rahmaan chacha ko pata chala to

toofan macha denge.”

“thank you very much. Main nikalta hun.”

aditya mandir ki taraf dauda. Raasta samajh nahi aa raha tha ushe. Logo se puchta-puchta pahunch hi gaya mandir. Bhole naath ka mandir tha vo. Jab aditya vaha pahuncha to zarina seedhiyan chadh rahi thi mandir ki. Aditya dekhte hi jhum utha zarina ko. Ish


kadar khus huva ki ek aadmi se takra gaya. “oh sorry bhai…maaf karna.”

“kya maaf karna dekh kar chala karo yaar, mera parsaad gira diya.”

“maaf karna bhai…magar parsaad bekaar nahi jaayega. Cheentiyan kha lengi ushe aur ishka punya aapko hi milega.”

“haan theek hai theek hai jyada lecture mat do mujhe.”

Vo aadmi badbadata huva aage badh gaya. Aditya fauran mandir ki seedhiyon ki taraf dauda. Seedhiyan chadh kar vo upar aaya to dekha ki zarina kuch asmanjas mein hai. vo idhar udhar dekh rahi thi ki kya kare. Pahli baar mandir aayi thi vo. Kaise jaan sakti thi ki

mandir mein ja kar karna kya kya hota hai. ek lady ne jab mandir ki ghanti bajaayi to ushne bhi ushki dekha dekhi mandir ki ghanti baja di.

Aditya ye sab dekh kar peeche hi ruk gaya. Zarina ko dekh kar madham-madham

muskura raha tha. zarina bas ush lady ko dekh kar sab kar rahi thi jishko dekh kar ushne ghanti bajaayi thi. jab vo lady bhagvaan ke aage haath jod kar aankh meech kar khadi huyi to zarina bhi ye dekh kar aankh meech kar haath jod kar khadi ho gayi. Aditya ye

sab dekh kar lotpot ho raha tha. mandir ka pujaari bhi zarina ko dekh kar mushkura raha tha. samajh gaya tha vo bhi ki ye ladki pahli baar mandir aayi hai.

Magar jab zarina ne aankhe meechi to ushe pata tha ki kya karna hai. ushne man hi man mein kaha, “hey bhagvaan. Mujhe nahin pata ki aapki puja kaise ki jaati hai. kuch bhi nahi jaanti hun aapke baare mein. Kuch nahi pata ki kaise duva karun aditya ke liye

aapke saamne. Yaha bas ek fariyaad le kar aayi hun. Apne allaah ko bhi ye fariyaad kar chuki hun par abhi tak kuch haasil nahi huva. Socha ki aapke aage bhi fariyaad kar dun.

Aap to aditya ke bhagvaan ho. Vo aapko maanta hai. bahut pyar karti hun main aditya se. vo bhi mujhe bahut pyar karta hai. ek choti si ladaayi huyi thi hamaari aur ushke baad hum mil nahi paaye aaj tak. Aditya ka kuch pata bhi nahi chal raha hai ki vo hai kaha. Agar aap ushke baare mein jaante hain to please ushe bhej dijiye mere paas. Mere liye aditya ke bina jeena mushkil hai. sach kah rahi hun bhagvaan agar aditya nahi aaya to main mar jaaungi. Aur ilzaam mere allaah par bhi aayega aur aap par bhi aayega. Hum kyon juda hain samajh nahi aata jabki bahut pyar karte hain hum dono. Kuch kijiyega

hamaare liye bhagvaan. Please….”


Zarina ne jab aankhe kholi to vo chonk gayi. Ushe samajh nahi aaya ki ye khawaab hai ya haqeeqat. Aditya bilkul ushke saamne khada tha haath jod kar aankhe band kiye huve.

Ushe kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha ki vo kya kare.

Aditya ne jab aankhe kholi to zarina ki aankhe tapak rahi thi. “tumhaara aditya tumhaare saamne hai zarina. Jo saja dena chaaho de do.”

“kyon kiya tumne aisa aditya kyon kiya. Kya koyi karta hai aisa jaisa tumne kiya mere

saath” zarina phoot-phoot kar rone lagi.

Aditya ne zarina ka haath pakda aur bola, “aao ek taraf chalte hain. Subah ka vakt hai kaafi log aa rahe hain mandir mein.”

“mera haath chhodo tum. Nahi karni hai koyi bhi baat tumse.” Zarina aditya ka haath

jhatak kar vaha se bhaag gayi aur mandir ki seedhiyan utar kar mandir ke saamne bane ek ped ka sahaara le kar khadi ho gayi. Subak rahi thi buri tarah.

Aditya bhi turant aa gaya ushke peeche aur ushke kandhe par haath rakh kar bola, “kya

bilkul maaf nahi karogi apne aditya ko.”

“maaf to karna hi padega tumhe. Koyi bhi chaara nahi hai mere paas. Ishi baat ka to faayda uthaaya tumne.”

“bahut gusse mein ho...”

“gussa nahi aayega kya?”

“acha ek kaam karo…dekho saamne ek bada pathar pada hai. uthaao aur de maaro mere

sar par. Jaise ghar par gamla maara tha vaise hi maaro”

“main maar bhi sakti hun abhi. Tumhe pata nahi ki kya kuch saha hai maine tumhaare peeche. Sab kuch saha sirf tumhaare liye. Aur tum bina bataaye na jaane kaha chale

gaye.”

“tumhe kya lagta hai ki main bevajah tumhe akela chhod kar kahi chala jaaunga.”

“haan maanti hun ki koyi vajah to jaroor rahi hogi. Par kya itni badi vajah thi ki tum ek saal se gaayab ho. Koyi bhi nahi jaanta tha ki tum kaha chale gaye.”


“main coma mein tha zarina.”

“kya coma mein!” zarina hairaan rah gayi aur mud kar aditya ki taraf dekha. Ushe aditya ki aankho mein aansu deekhayi diye.

“haan main coma mein tha. varna to koyi bhi taakat mujhe tumse dur nahi rakh sakti thi.”

Zarina lipat gayi aditya se aur boli, “kaise huva ye sab aditya. Kishne kiya.”

“kuch log tumhaare baare mein bhala bura kah rahe the. Shuna nahi gaya mujhse aur

main un logo se bhid gaya.” Aditya ne zarina ko puri baat bataayi.

“bas hosh aate hi nikal pada main tumhaari talaash mein. Dekho mussoorie ki hasin vaadiyon mein chupi baithi thi meri zarina.”

“aditya dubara mat karna aisi ladaayi kishi se. kishi ke bolne se kya ho jaata hai. dekho

kitna tadpi hun main tumhaare liye. Agar main tadap-tadap kar mar jaati to. Phir tum kya karte.”

“chup raho…aisa nahi bolte. Vaise acha laga tumhe mandir mein dekh kar. Main bhi

tumhaari maszid jaaunga.”

“agar pata hota ki mandir mein fariyaad karne se tum mil jaaoge to kab ki chali aati yaha. Kuch din pahle achaanak hi khyaal aaya mandir jaane ka. Par dar rahi thi ki mandir se

koyi nikaal na de. Mujhe pata bhi nahi tha ki mandir mein ja kar karna kya hai. magar aaj himmat karke aa hi gayi. Aur dekho tum mil gaye mandir mein.”

“kishi insaan ke chehre par nahi likha hota ki vo kish dharam ka hai. bhagvaan ka mandir

har kishi ke liye hai.” aditya ne kaha

Aditya ne apni jeb se ek chaabi nikaali aur zarina ke haath mein rakh di.

“ye kya hai aditya?”

“ushi manhus taale ki chaabi hai jishke kaaran tum apne hi ghar mein nahi ghuss paayi. Aao ghar chalte hain zarina. Apne ghar chalte hain. Vo ghar tadap raha hai tumhaare liye.

Apne haath se kholna ush manhus taale ko.”

Zarina ne apni aankho ke aansu ponche aur boli, “thoda sa vakt do mujhe bas. Bachcho se


mil lun ek baar. Achaanak unse mile bina chali gayi to khub halla karenge. Sambhaale nahi sambhlenge kishi se.”

“theek hai tum mil aao. Main plane ki ticket book kara leta hun.”

“wow…kya hum plane se jaayenge.” Zarina jhum uthi. Ushne kabhi plane se jouney nahi

ki thi.

“haan bilkul. Tumhaare chakkar mein plane mein hi ghum raha hun aajkal. Kab tak aa sakti ho free ho kar.”

“bas 2 ghante do mujhe…main yahi aa jaaungi mandir mein phir hum saath chalenge.”

“vaise yahi ghumte hum ek saath. Magar abhi bas tumhaare saath ghar ja kar dher saari

baate karne ka man hai. phir kabhi aayenge mussoorie mein.”

“haan vaise bhi abhi yaha rahmaan chacha hai saath mein. Unhone dekh liya to toofan macha denge. Abhi yaha se chalte hain. Hamaara ghar hi hamaare liye mussoorie

hai…hai na aditya.”

“bilkul meri jaan…bilkul”

“tumhaari jaan ban gayi main ab?”

“aur nahi to kya. Tumhaara pyar na hota to shaayad kabhi nahi uth paata coma se. tumhaare pyar ne hi mujhe gahri neend se jagaaya hai. varna to coma mein barso pade

rahte hain log.”
