Pritam bola “thik hai madam, mai aapke is aadesh ka palan jarur karuga.”

Pritam ki is baat par vaani didi ne muskurate huye kaha.

Vaani didi boli “lekin abhi tumhe kuch samay ke liye is file ko apne pas daba kar rakhna hai aur jo file tumhe kal manik dega, us par tumhe is mamle ko aage badana hai.”

Vaani didi ki is baat par pritam ne thoda chaukte huye kaha.

Pritam bola “lekin madam, us file me aisa kya hai.”

Pritam ki baat sunkar, vaani didi use kal saupi jaane wali file ke baare me batane lagi. Jise sunkar pritam ke pasine chhutne lage. Lekin mere to kaan se hi dhuan nikalne laga.

Aisa hi kuch haal neha aur keerti ka bhi tha. Wo dono bhi fati fati aankhon se vaani didi ko dekh rahi thi. Wahi vaani didi ki is baat ko sunne ke bad chhoti maa kuch jyada hi pareshan najar aane lagi thi.

Vaani didi ki baat sunkar, waha par maujud sabhi logon ke chehre ki hawaiyan udh rahi thi. Lekin ami nimi ke upar is baat ka ulta hi asar pada tha. Wo dono vaani didi ki ye baat sunne ke bad, kuch jyada hi khush najar aa rahi thi.

Hum sabhi vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, sann rah gaye the. Lekin is baat ko sunne ke bad, ami nimi ki khushi ka koi thikana nahi tha aur ami ne isi khushi me chahkte huye vaani didi se kaha.

Ami boli “wah didi, aapne us ladke ko sabak sikhane ka bahut acha plan banaya hai.”

Ami ke sath sath nimi bhi khamoshi se hum sabki baten sun rahi thi. Lekin jaise usne ami ke muh se ye baat suni to, usne bhi josh me aate huye kaha.

Nimi boli “haan didi, us ladke ne bhaiya ka thoda sa khoon nikala tha. Lekin aap uske khoon ki nadiyan baha dena aur use hamesha ke liye jail me band kar dena.”

Ami nimi ki ye baten sunkar, vaani didi chauk gayi. Ami nimi neha ke sath ek kinare baithi huyi thi. Isliye abhi tak vaani didi ka dhyan un par nahi gaya tha. Lekin ami nimi ki is baat ne sabko unki bhi upastithi ka aehsas kara diya tha.

Ami nimi ki ye baat sunkar, kuch pal ke liye to vaani didi chauk gayi thi. Lekin agle hi pal un ne ami nimi par gussa karte huye kaha.

Vaani didi boli “tum dono yaha sabke bich baithi baithi kya kar rahi ho. Subah mausi ne tum dono se kaha bhi tha ki, jab bade koi jaruri baat kar rahe ho to, tum dono ko waha nahi rahna hai.”

“Iske bad bhi tum dono yaha humari baton me kaan lagaye sabki barabari se baithi huyi ho aur ab mujhe salah bhi de rahi ho ki, mujhe kya karna chahiye. Mai dekh rahi hu ki, aaj kal tum logon ki juban kainchi ki tarah chalne lagi hai.”

“Tum logon ko bade chhote ka koi adab hi nahi rah gaya hai. Mai tumhari ye badtamiji dobara sahan nahi karugi. Tum dono fauran andar jao. Warna mai maar maar kar tumhari halat kharab kar dugi.”

Vaani didi ne ami nimi ko bahut buri tarah se daant diya tha. Jiske bad ami nimi ek pal bhi waha nahi ruki aur chanda mausi ke pas chali gayi. Lekin ami nimi ko daant padte dekh kar na jaane kyo neha ko hansi aa gayi.

Magar neha ka is tarah se hasna neha ke upar hi baari pad gaya. Vaani didi ne neha ko bhi buri tarah se fatkarte huye kaha.

Vaani didi boli “tum yaha baithi baithi apne daat kyo dikha rahi ho. Kya tumhe aur keerti ko yaha se jaane ke liye alag se kahna hoga.”

Neha ki hansi apne sath sath keerti ko bhi le dubi thi. Ami nimi ki harkat ki vajah se vaani didi kuch jyada hi gussa ho gayi thi. Unke gusse ka agla shikar mai bhi ban sakta tha.

Isliye mai vaani didi ke gusse ka agla nishana banne se bachne ke liye keerti aur neha se bhi pahle chanda mausi ke kamre me aa gaya. Mere pahuchne ke bad keerti aur neha bhi waha aa gayi.

Ami nimi chanda mausi ke pas khamoshi se baithi thi. Lekin hum logon ko bhi ek ke bad ek waha aate dekh kar, unhe kuch hairani huyi. Magar unke kuch puchh pane ke pahle hi, neha ne vaani didi par apni narajgi jatate huye kaha.

Neha boli “ye vaani didi bhi ajib hai. Are ami nimi ka gussa mere upar nikalne ki kya jarurat thi. Mai to is ghar ki mehman hu. Kya koi mehman ke upar bhi is tarah se gussa karta hai.”

Neha ki baat sunkar, mai aur keerti to hans kar rah gaye. Lekin chanda mausi ne use samjhate huye kaha.

Chanda mausi boli “tum bhale hi apne aapko is ghar ka mehman manti ho. Lekin vaani aisa nahi manti hai. Isliye usne tumhari kisi galti par tumhare upar gussa kar diya hoga.”

Chanda mausi ki baat sunkar, neha ne unhe bahar ki baat batate huye kaha.

Neha boli “lekin aai, maine to kuch kiya hi nahi hai. Wo pritam se bahut ache se baat kar rahi thi. Usi bich ye ami nimi unki baat ke bich me bol padi aur wo in par bahut jyada gussa karne lagi.”

“Mujhe bas unke isi pal pal badalte roop ko dekh kar hansi aa gayi thi. Lekin wo to mujh par hi is baat ke liye bhadak gayi aur mujhe bevajah khari khoti sunakar waha se bhaga diya.”

Neha ki baat sunkar, chanda mausi ne fir use samjahte huye kaha.

Chanda mausi boli “vaani suru se hi aisi hai. Use kisi ka badtamiji karna jara bhi sahan nahi hai aur use gussa bhi bahut jaldi aata hai. Wo gusse me bada chhota, apna paraya kuch nahi dekhti hai.”

“Lekin wo dil ki bahut saaf hai aur use apne parivar ke sabhi logon ki fikar rahti hai. Tum bhi uske liye uski chhoti bahan ki tarah hi ho. Isliye usne bina kisi bhed bhav ke ami nimi ke sath tumhe bhi daant diya.”

“Kyoki wo apne bhai bahno ki taraf se jara bhi laparwah nahi hai aur unhe koi galti karte dekhna pasand nahi karti hai. Isliye wo sabko is tarah baat baat par gussa karti rahti hai.”

“Lekin iske sath hi ek sach ye bhi hai ki, wo apne sabhi bhai bahno se bahut pyar karti hai aur unme se ek tum bhi ho. Isliye tum uski is baat ko jara bhi apne dil se mat lagao aur uski in baton ki aadat daal lo.”

Chanda mausi ki ye baat sunkar, neha ki vaani didi se narajgi door ho gayi aur uske chehre par muskurahat aa gayi. Lekin ami shayad abhi bhi vaani didi se naraj thi aur usne apni isi narajgi ko jahir karte huye kaha.

Ami boli “lekin mausi, ye vaani didi ka hum logon se kaisa pyar hai ki, hum unke samne kisi se hansi majak tak nahi kar sakte. Aur to aur kisi se baat karte samay unhe humara baithna tak pasand nahi hai.”

Ami ki baat sunkar, chanda mausi ne pyar se uske sar par hath fera aur fir use samjhate huye kaha.

Chanda mausi boli “vaani tum logon par gussa karti hai to, iska matlab ye nahi hai ki, wo tum logon se pyar nahi karti hai. Balki wo to tum dono ko punnu baba se bhi jyada pyar karti hai.”

“Isliye wo kabhi tum dono par hath nahi uthati hai aur na hi kabhi bahurani ko tum logon par hath uthane deti hai. Warna punnu baba se puchho ki, vaani inko aur mehul ko kitni maar lagati thi.”

“Vaani ko hansi majak jara bhi pasand nahi hai aur wo bade chhote ke adab ko bhi bahut jyada manti hai. Isliye in logon ki jara si bhi galti par wo in logon par hath utha deti thi.”

“Ye dono to vaani ka samna karne se bhi ghabrate the. Yaha tak ki mehul to vaani ke yaha aate hi apne mama ke ghar bhagne ki koshish karne lagta tha aur punnu baba to vaani ke bina bulaye apne kamre se hi nahi nikla karte the.”

“Tum dono ke sath vaani ne kabhi bhi sakhti nahi ki hai. Wo tum dono ko bahut pyar karti hai. Isliye usne tum dono ko itni chhut de rakhi hai ki, tum us se kisi bhi baat ko lekar bahas kar leti ho.”

“Tum dono ko vaani se bahas karte dekh kar to, kabhi kabhi mujhe bhi dar lagne lagta hai ki, vaani kahi tum dono par hath na utha de. Lekin wo aisa kabhi nahi karti hai.”

“Aisa sirf isliye hai. Kyoki wo tumhe bahut pyar karti hai. Warna vaani ke samne to, uske mummy papa, keerti ke mummy papa aur tumhare mummy papa ki bhi kuch kahne ki himmat nahi hoti hai.”

Hum sab chanda mausi ki ye baten gaur se sun rahe the. Unki is baat me puri tarah se sachchai thi. Lekin maine bhi kabhi is baat ke baare me itni gharayi se nahi socha tha.

Keerti aur chhoti maa bhi mujhe bata chuki thi ki, vaani didi ke pichhe hi chhoti maa ami par gussa karne se khud ko roki huyi thi. Vaani didi ke ami ke liye itna sab karne ke bad bhi, ami ne unke sath badtamiji kar di thi.

Lekin vaani didi ne tab bhi ami ko kuch nahi kaha tha. Mai abhi ami ko isi baare me samjhane ke liye soch hi raha tha ki, tabhi usne fir se vaani didi ke khilaf bolte huye kaha.

Ami boli “nahi mausi, aap kuch bhi kaho. Lekin sach ye hai ki, vaani didi hume nahi, balki priya ko jyada pyar karti hai. Un ne to priya ke liye apni naukri tak chhod di hai.”

Ami ki ye baat sunkar, mera dimag hi ghoom gaya. Mujhe samajh me nahi aa raha tha ki, ami apne chhote se dimag me ye kaisa vaham pale huye hai. Pahle to wo sirf priya ke hi khilaf thi.

Lekin ab uske tevar vaani didi ki taraf se bhi badle huye lag rahe the. Priya ke liye vaani didi ki naukri chhodne wali baat to mai chhoti maa ke muh se bhi sun chuka tha aur ab fir se ami apni usi baat ko dohra rahi thi.

Priya ke khilaf to ami ke bolne par mai chup rah gaya tha. Lekin vaani didi ke khilaf uske bolne par mai chup na rah saka aur maine pahli baar us par gussa karte huye kaha.

Mai bola “tu ye kya bakwas kar rahi hai. Sabko ache se pata hai ki, vaani didi ne sirf meri vajah se apni naukri chhodi hai. Iske bad bhi tere muh me jo aa raha hai, tu vaani didi ke khilaf bakti ja rahi hai.”

“Wo hum logon ko itna pyar karti hai aur tu hai ki, unhi ke upar ungli uthaye ja rahi hai. Ab dobara tum dono me se kisi ne vaani didi ke khilaf aisi koi bakwas ki to, mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.”

Meri baat sunkar, nimi ne hairat se meri taraf dekhte huye badi hi masumiyat se kaha.

Nimi boli “bhaiya, aap mujh par gussa kyo ho rahe hai. Maine to vaani didi ko kabhi kuch kaha hi nahi hai.”

Lekin ami ne nimi ki is baat ko ansuna karte huye mujhse kaha.

Ami boli “bhaiya, mai koi bakwas nahi kar rahi hu. Mai jo bhi kah rahi hu, sach hi kah rahi hu. Mai hum logon ke Mumbai jaane ke pahle se hi janti thi ki, vaani didi ne apni naukri chhod di hai.”

Ami ki ye baat sunkar, mai chauke bina na rah saka. Kyoki mujhe khud vaani didi ke naukri chhod dene wali baat mere Mumbai pahuchne ke bad hi pata chali thi. Uske pahle mai is baare me kuch nahi janta tha.

Fir ami is baat ko pahle se hi kaise janti thi. Ye sochne wali baat thi. Mai abhi is baare me ami se puchhne hi wala tha ki, tabhi meri najar darwaje par padi. Vaani didi darwaje par tek lagaye bade gaur se humari baten sun rahi thi.

Un ne jaise hi mujhe apni taraf dekhte paya to, mujhe chup rahne ka ishara kiya. Vaani didi ki ka ishara pakar mai chup to ho gaya. Lekin ab mujhe is baat ka dar bhi sata raha tha ki, kahin ami koi nayi bakwas na kar de.

Mere alawa abhi kisi ki bhi najar vaani didi par nahi padi thi. Isliye ami ki ye baat sunne ke bad, keerti ne bhi thoda chaukte huye us se puchha.

Keerti boli “hum sab ko to Mumbai me rahte huye bhi ye baat tab tak pata nahi chali thi, jab tak vaani didi ne khud hume ye baat nahi batayi thi. Fir tujhe Mumbai pahuchne ke pahle hi ye baat kaise pata chal gayi.”

Ami boli “wo aap logon ke Mumbai jaane ke bad hospital me mausi ko dekhne ke liye tripti didi aayi thi. Un ne hi mujhe bataya tha ki, vaani didi ne priya ke pas Mumbai jaane ke liye apni naukri chhod di hai.”

Ami ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe us din ki yaad aa gayi. Jis din maine pahli baar tripti ko dekha tha. Tripti ke I.C.U. room me jaane ke kuch hi der bad ami nimi bhi chanda mausi ko dekhne andar gayi thi.

Shayad usi samay tripti ki ami nimi se ye baat huyi thi. Mai abhi tripti aur ami ke bich huyi isi baat ko sochne me uljha hua tha ki, tabhi keerti ne ami ke samne dusra sawal dagte huye kaha.

Keerti boli “chal mai teri is baat ko bhi maan leti hu ki, vaani didi ne priya ke liye hi apni naukri chhodi hai. Tab bhi mujhe ye baat samajh me nahi aa rahi hai ki, tujhe vaani didi ke naukri chhod dene se itni pareshani kyo ho rahi hai.”

Ami boli “hume kyo pareshani nahi hogi. Vaani didi pahle humari didi hai. Uske bad hi wo kisi aur ki didi hai. Un ne priya ke liye apni naukri chhod kar hume apne school me kisi ke samne muh dikhane layak nahi chhoda hai.”

Ami ki ye baat sunkar, keerti to hairani se use dekhti rah gayi. Lekin neha ne hanste huye ami se puchha.

Neha boli “are vaani didi ke naukri chhod dene se bhala tum dono apne school me kisi ke samne muh dikhane layak kyo nahi rahi. Tumhare school me to koi vaani didi ko janta bhi nahi hoga.”

Ami boli “didi, aisi baat nahi hai. Humari saari saheliyan vaani didi ko ache se janti hai. Hum apni saheliyon ko hamesha hi vaani didi ki bahaduri ke kisse sunate rahte the aur wo is baare me sunkar hum se jal jati thi.”

“Kyoki unke ghar me vaani didi jaisa koi nahi tha. Lekin ab wo hi log vaani didi ke naukri chhod dene ki baat ko lekar humara majak udayegi aur hume unse muh chhupa kar rahna padega.”

Ami ki ye baat sunkar, mujhe uske dil ki halat ka aehsas ho gaya tha. Kyoki vaani didi ke naukri chhodne ki baat ka mere upar bhi kuch waisa asar hua tha. Jaisa ki abhi ami ki baton se uske upar samajh me aa raha rahi tha.

Apni dhun me apne man ki baat kahe ja rahi thi aur hum sab uski ye baat sun rahe the. Tabhi vaani didi ne kamre ke andar aate huye kaha.

Vaani didi boli “jaisa tu soch rahi hai. Aisi koi bhi baat nahi hai. Maine punnu ya priya ke liye apni naukri nahi chhodi hai. Maine naukri sirf apni kasam ko rakhne ke liye chhodi hai.”

“Maine kasam khayi thi ki, mai C.I.D. officer ki haisiyat se mumbai me kadam nahi rakhugi. Lekin ab punnu aur priya ki vajah se mera mumbai jana jaruri ho gaya tha. Jis vajah se mujhe apni naukri chhodna padi thi.”

“Isliye meri naukri chhutne me punnu ya priya ka koi hath nahi hai. Maine jo kiya sirf apne privar ke liye kiya hai. Apne parivar ki bhalai ke liye apni kisi chij ka tyag karna bhi ek bahaduri wala hi kaam hota hai.”

“Tumhe to ye baat apni saheliyon se seena thok kar kahna chahiye ki, tumhari didi ne apne parivar ki bhalai ke liye aisa kadam uthaya hai. Tumhe iske liye unse muh nahi chhupana chahiye.”

“Ab yadi meri ye baat sunne ke bad bhi tumhe meri naukri jaane ka dukh hai to, mai tumse vada karti hu ki, mai bahut jaldi hi tumhe is se bhi badi naukri karti najar aaugi aur tumhe kisi se apna muh nahi chhupana padega.”

Vaani didi ki ye baat sunkar, ami gaur se vaani didi ka chehra dekhne lagi. Shayad use vaani didi ki is baat ka viswas nahi ho raha tha. Ye dekh kar vaani didi use pyar se samjhane lagi.

Iske bad un ne chanda mausi se kuch jaruri baat karne ki baat kah kar hum sabse bahar jaane ko kaha to, hum bahar aa gaye. Chhoti maa kitchen me raat ka khana taiyar karne me lagi huyi thi.

Pritam ke aa jaane ki vajah se unhe apna kaam chhod kar uske pas baithna pad gaya tha. Jis vajah se unhe khana taiyar karne me der ho gayi thi. Waise to mai raat ke khane ke liye cutlets aur manchurian pahle hi le aaya tha.

Lekin baki ka khana to chhoti maa ko hi taiyar karna tha. Waise to humare ghar me baki sabhi kaamo ke liye kaam wali lagi huyi thi. Lekin kitchen ka kaam sirf chhoti maa aur chanda mausi hi dekha karti thi.

Isliye abhi chanda mausi ki tabiyat sahi na hone ki vajah se chhoti maa ko kuch jyada hi pareshani uthana pad rahi thi. Chhoti maa ko akela pareshan hote dekh kar keerti bhi unki madad karne kitchen me chali gayi.

Lekin thodi der bad wo muh latka kar wapas aa gayi. Use is tarah se muh latkaye wapas aaya dekh kar maine us se kaha.

Mai bola “kya hua. Tu to kitchen me chhoti maa ki madad karne gayi thi. Fir is tarah se muh latka kar kyo aa gayi.”

Keerti boli “mausi ne meri tabiyat sahi na hone ki baat bol kar mujhe wapas bhej diya hai. Meri tabiyat sahi na hone ki vajah se unke upar mera khana alag se banane ka bojh bhi pad raha hai.”

Mai bola “humare mumbai se aane ke pahle nisha bhabhi ne tera check up kiya tha. Tere us check up ki report ka kya hua.”

Keerti boli “humare waha se aane ke samay tak uski report nahi aayi thi. Isliye nisha bhabhi ne kaha tha ki, wo phone karke mujhe iske baare me bata degi. Lekin un ne abhi tak is baare me koi phone nahi kiya hai.”

Mai bola “wo jarur kaam me fas kar is baare me batana bhool gayi hogi. Tu khud hi unhe phone laga kar report ka pata kar le na.”

Keerti ko meri baat sahi lagi aur usne nisha bhabhi ko call laga diya. Nisha bhabhi ne call uthate hi keerti se kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (bolo keerti, achanak meri yaad kaise aa gayi. Mai to samjhi thi ki, tum apne ghar pahuchte hi mujhe bhool jaogi.)

Keerti boli “bhabhi aap ye kaisi baat kar rahi hai. Mai bhala aapko kaise bhool sakti hu. Wo to kal mujhe yaha aane ke bad jara bhi samay nahi mila. Warna maine aapko kal hi phone laga liya hota.”

Keerti ki is baat par nisha bhabhi ne hanste huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (are mai to majak kar rahi hu. Mai khud ghar pahuchne ke bad tumhe call lagane wali thi.)

Keerti boli “are bhabhi, aap kya abhi itne samay tak hospital me hi hai.”

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (haan, aaj ek bad ek do surgery karna pad gayi. Jis vajah se itne samay tak hospital me rukna pad gaya. Bas abhi ghar ke liye nikalne hi wali thi ki, tumhara call aate dekh kar ruk gayi.)

Keerti boli “sorry bhabhi, mera call aane ki vajah se aap ghar ke liye nahi nikal payi. Aapko ghar pahuchne me der ho rahi hai. Aap aisa kijiye, aap abhi mera call rakhiye. Mai aapse bad me baat karti hu.”

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (are mujhe ghar jaane me koi der nahi ho rahi hai. Ghar me sabko pata hai ki aaj mujhe ghar aane me der hogi. Tum ye batao ki, kya tumne apni report ke baare me pata karne ke liye call kiya hai.)

Keerti boli “haan bhabhi, itne dino se ubla hua khana kha kha kar mera bura haal hai. Isliye maine apni report ke baare me pata karne ke liye aapko call kiya hai.”

Keerti ki is baat ko sunkar nisha bhabhi ne hanste huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (tab to tum khush ho jao. Ab tumhe ubla hua khana khane ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Tumhari report sahi aayi hai aura b tum puri tarah se thik ho. Isliye ab tum bhi baki sabki tarah khana kha sakti ho.)

Nisha bhabhi ki baat sunkar keerti ne khush hote huye kaha.

Keerti boli “bhabhi, matlab ki aaj se mai sab kuch kha sakti hu. Mujhe kisi tarah ka parhej karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai.”

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (haan, tumhe kisi tarah ka koi parhej karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Lekin abhi abhi tumhare kamjor liver ka ilaj chal raha hai aur use thik hone me thoda wakt lagega. Isliye kuch samay ke liye tum jyada tel masale ka khana khane se khud ko bachao.)

Nisha bhabhi ki ye baat sunkar, keerti ne thoda nirash hote huye kaha.

Keerti boli “bhabhi, iska matlab to yahi hai ki, abhi bhi mujhe khane se parhej hi karna padega.”

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (nahi, aisa nahi hai. Tum chaho to sab kuch kha sakti ho. Lekin yadi tum apne liver ki kamjori se jaldi chhutkara pana chahti ho to, tumhe kuch samay tak aise khane se parhej karna hi padega.)

Keerti boli “thik hai bhabhi, mai aapki ye baat jarur manugi. Lekin kya aap ye baat mausi ko samjha degi. Taki kam se kam mujhe is uble huye khane se to chhutkara mil jaye.”

Keerti ki is baat par nisha bhabhi ne muskurate huye kaha.

Nisha bhabhi boli “……………” (haan, kyo nahi. Yadi aunty tumhare pas hai to, unhe call do. Mai abhi unhe ye baat bata deti hu.)

Keerti boli “bhabhi, ek min mai abhi mausi ko phone deti hu.”

Ye kahte huye keerti bhagti huyi kitchen me chhoti maa ke pas chali gayi. Keerti ki ye baten mai, neha aur ami nimi bhi sun rahe the. Keerti ko sab kuch khane ki chhut milte dekh kar, nimi ne sabse jyada khush hote huye kaha.

Nimi boli “wah, aaj se to didi ke maje ho gaye. Ab unhe bhi hum sabki tarah khana khane ko milne lagega.”

Mai nimi ke is tarah se khush hone ka matlab samajh raha tha. Aaj khane ke liye uski manpasand dishes cutlets aur Manchurian aayi thi. Ab yadi mai aur ami wo dishes nahi khate to, fir nimi ka bhi unko khana mushkil tha.

Lekin ab keerti ko sab kuch khane ki chhut milne se nimi ka bhi is roj roj ke uble huye khane se chhutkara mil gaya tha. Isliye keerti se jyada is baat ki khushi nimi ko ho rahi thi.

Apni isi khushi ko pakka karne aur andar chal rahi baton ki jaankari lene ke liye thodi der bad nimi bhi uth kar kitchen me chali gayi. Neha bhi kal se ami nimi ki khane ko lekar ki jaane wali nautanki ko dekh rahi thi.

Use keerti ke sath sath ami nimi ka bhi ubla hua khana khana ajib lag raha tha. Isliye jab usne is baat se nimi ko khush hokar keerti ke pichhe jate dekha to, maje lete huye kaha.

Neha boli “lagta hai nimi ye pakka karne gayi hai ki, aunty keerti ko sab kuch khane ki chhut deti hai ya nahi deti. Warna aaj fir se ami nimi ko wo hi sab khana padega.”

Neha ki baat sunkar, maine ami ke sar par hath ferte huye kaha.

Mai bola “haan, tum bilkul thik kah rahi hu. Nimi bahut chatoru hai aur badiya khane ki bahut shaukin hai. Wo khane ki koi bhi achi si chij dekh kar bahut jaldi lalcha jati hai. Iske alawa khane me nakhara bhi bahut karti hai.”

“Lekin meri betu bilkul bhi aisi nahi hai. Betu sabhi chije shauk se khati hai. Kabhi kisi chij ko khane me nakhra nahi karti hai. Isi vajah se nimi ko bhi majburi me wo sab khana padta hai.”

“Kyoki nimi chahe kitni bhi shaitan aur nakhrebaj kyo na ho. Magar wo betu ka sath kabhi nahi chhodti hai. Use koi baat pasand ho ya na ho. Lekin wo us baat me betu ka sath jarur degi.”

Meri is baat par neha ne bhi muskurate huye kaha.

Neha boli “haan, ye to mai bhi dekh chuki hu. Ami nimi ki jodi bilkul seeru didi aur selu didi ki jodi ki tarah hi hai. Ye dono bhi unki tarah ek dusre ka sath kabhi nahi chhodti hai.”

Neha ki ye baat sunkar, mere aur ami ke chehre par bhi muskurahat aa gayi. Usi samay vaani didi aur chanda mausi aa gayi. Abhi wo dono humare pas aakar baithi hi thi ki, tabhi keerti aur nimi khush hote huye humare pas aa gayi.

Vaani didi ko dekh kar, keerti khushi khushi unhe nisha bhabhi se huyi baat ke baare me batane lagi. Abhi hum logon ki aapas me ye baten chal hi rahi thi ki, tabhi papa ghar aa gaye.

Waise to papa office se aane ke bad, sabse pahle apne kamre me jakar muh hath dhote hai. Fir aakar bahar sabke sath baithte hai. Lekin abhi vaani didi ko baitha dekh kar, wo bhi unke pas hi aakar baith gaye.

Mujhe apne bap ki kabhi koi harkat samajh me nahi aati thi. Vaani didi hospital me unke sath kis tarah se pesh aayi thi. Ye baat mujhse chhupi huyi nahi thi. Meri peeth pichhe bhi na jaane vaani didi unke sath kaise pesh aayi hogi.

Mujhe mere bap ki is beijjati se koi farak nahi pada tha aur na hi shayad is se mere bap ko koi farak pada tha. Kyoki wo bhi vaani didi ke pas aise aakar baith gaya tha. Jaise uski vaani didi se bahut hi achi tarah se patti ho.

Mere man me abhi bhi mere bap ke liye bahut nafrat thi aur use dekhte hi, mujhe us par gussa aane lagta tha. Isliye ab mujhe waha baithne me uljhan si hone lagi thi.
