Update 20

Pankhudi ne dheere se apni aankhein kholi. Dahlia ne use bistar par uthkar baithne mein madad kari aur pyaar se uske sar par haath phera.

Usne Pankhudi ko nehlaya aur ek sundar ki laal dress di pehen ne ko.

"Tumhe taiyaar hona hoga Pankhudi," Dahlia ne kaha, "Aaj auction hai."

Pankhudi rone lag gayi. "Please aisa mat karo Dahlia," usne kaha.

"Master ka order hai Pankhudi," Dahlia ne kaha, "Aur please co-operate karo agar tum chahti ho ki tumhari family par koi aanch na aaye."

Pankhudi Dahlia ki baat samajh gayi. Woh samajh gayi ki thi agar usne zara bhi virodh kiya to uski maa aur Palak dono ko khatra ho sakta hai.

Pankhudi ne chupchaap woh laal dress pehen li. Dahlia Pankhudi ko ek kamre le le gayi jahan ek makeup artist uska intezaar kar rahi thi. Us makeup artist ne Pankhudi ke sundar sa makeup aur hair styling kari. Pankhudi ne aaine mein dekha to woh itni sundar kabhi nahi lagi. Lekin apna hi sundar roop dekh kar uske aansu nikal aaye. Woh jaanti thi ki ab use ek cheez ki tarah becha jayega aur shayad woh Armaan ko phir kabhi nahi dekh payegi.

Pankhudi to taiyyar karke woh makeup artist wahan se chali gayi. Phir Dahlia ne Pankhudi ke haath hathkadi se uske haath peeche baandh diye. Pankhudi bas chupchaap aansu bahati rahi.

Dahlia ne Pankhudi ko pyaar se gale lagaya aur sambhala. Phir Dahlia ek injection le aayi.

"Jaanti ho yeh kya hai?" Dahlia ne Pankhudi ko injection dikhate hue kaha.

Pankhudi ne naa mein sar hilaya.

"Jab ek ladki ko auction mein becha jaata hai, woh uske liye bahot traumatic experience hota hai, jab ek bikau cheez ki tarah uspar boli lagayi jaati hai..." Dahlia ne kaha, "To use hum yeh nashe ki dawa dete hai, ladki ko kuch hosh nahi rehta aur aankhein khulti hai tab tak woh apne naye owner ke paas pahunch chuki hoti hai."

Pankhudi nam aankhon se uski baat sun rahi thi.

"Lekin aaj mein tumhe yeh injection nahi dungi, Pankhudi," Dahlia ne kaha, "Main chahti hun ki tum poore hosh mein raho. Ek aakhri mauka hai tumhare paas tumhare Master se communicate karne ka. Agar pichli raat maine tumhe neend ka injection deke nahi sulaya hota to shayad aaj baat yahan tak nahi pahunchti. You need to talk to him, Pankhudi, you need to tell him how you feel."

"Maine unse kaise baat karungi?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

"Apni aankhon se," Dahlia ne muskurate hue kaha, "You have to be very strong Pankhudi. Aaj tak humne kisi ladki ko auction mein bina nashe ke nahi behja, kyunki auction ke dauran hosh mei rehna bahot traumatic hota hai, lekin agar maine tumhe aaj yeh nashe ka injection diya to tum kabhi wapas nahi aa paogi. Kya tum handle kar paogi Pankhudi?"

Pankhudi ne haan me sar hilaya, aur Dahlia ne woh injection tray mein wapas rakh diya. Dahlia Pankhudi ko ek gaadi tak le gayi aur use sambhal ke gaadi mein bithaya. Pankhudi ke sar par ek hood lagaya gaya. Ab Pankhudi ko kuch dikhai nahi de raha tha, lekin woh poori hosh mein thi.

"May God protect you," Dahlia ne kaha, aur uski aankhon se ek aansu gir pada, yeh sochkar ki Pankhudi par kya beetne waali hai.

Pankhudi lagbhag ek hafte tak continously nashe mein rehne ke baad ab poori tarah se hosh mein thi. Woh apne haas paas ke har ek aahat, har ek harkat mehsoos kar rahi thi. Uske mann mein bahot darr tha ki na jaane uske saath ab kya hone wala hai.

Gaadi kaafi der tak chali. Phir ek jagah ruk gayi. Pankhudi ko ghaseetkar gaadi se nikalkar ek kamre tak le jaya gaya. Wahan kamre mein andar dhakel kar darwaza band kar diya gaya. Pankhudi ke chehre par abhi bhi woh hood tha. Use kuch dikhai nahi de raha tha, lekin apne aas paas bahot se ladkiyon ki rone ki awaz sunai de rahi thi. Pankhudi ka dil zor zor se dhadakne laga.

Kuch der baad darwaza khula aur kuch aadmi aaye aur ek ladki ko ghaseetkar leke gaye. Us ladki ki cheekhin sunkar Pankhudi kaanp uthi. Ek ek karke bahot saari ladkiyon ko le jaya gaya us kamre se.

Phir woh pal aaya jiska Pankhudi ko darr tha. Ek aadmi ne uske baju ko thaamkar use stage par le gaya. Uske chehre se woh hood hayata gaya, aur bright spotlight padi Pankhudi par. Wahan bahot saare log the, lekin Pankhudi par itni bright light pad rahi thi ki woh kisi ka chehra theek se nahi dekh paa rahi thi. Wahan bahot shor tha. Pankhudi wahan akele kaanpti hui khadi thi, aur uspar boli lagne lagi. Uska dil yeh sochkar toot gaya ki woh ab Armaan ko dobara kabhi nahi dekh payegi. Usne Armaan ko apna sab kuch de diya aur usne Pankhudi se goodbye tak nahi kaha. Uska dil toot raha tha, uska bharosa toot raha tha, Pankhudi ko itna dard hua ki woh phoot phhotkar rote hue apne ghuton ke bal gir padi.

Uski yeh halat dekh kar auction mein aaye logon ka interest usme achank se badh gaya, aur boli bahot unchi lagne lagi. Bright se spotlight mein uske massom chehre par toote hue dil ka dard saaf dikhai de raha tha.

Armaan door khada dekh raha tha. Bids itni unchi uthne lagi jitne kabhi kisi slave ke liye nahi uthi thi. Armaan ne Pankhudi ke lagatar badhti hui bids waale screen par dekha, aur ek taraf us tooti hui massom ladki ki taraf dekha jisne use pyaar diya lekin badle mein usne yahan laake khada kar diya, ek jaanwron ki bheed ke beech jo Pankhudi ko noch khane ke liye koi bhi keemat dene ko taiyyar the. Pankhudi bebas aankhon se us bheed me Armaan ko khoj rahi thi. Uski aankhon mein abhi bhi umeend nazar aa rahi thi ki Armaan use bacha lega. Armaan ko ehsaas hua ki boli Pankhudi ke chehre ya jism ke nahi lag rahi thi, uski masoomiyat ki lag rahi thi, uske pyaar bhare dil ke liye jag rahi thi jo uske liye dhadak raha tha. Uski aankhein Armaan se pooch rahi thi ki kyu itna pyaar karne ke bawajood usne uske saath itna bura kiya.

Armaan ne ek apne ek aadmi ko bulaya aur uske kaan mein kuch kaha. Woh aadmi haan mein sar hilakar waha se chala gaya. Stage par Pankhudi ekdum toot chuki thi. Armaan ke bina uske jeevan mein kuch nahi tha. Us se hamesha ke liye door jaane ke khayal se woh itni toot gayi ki behosh hokar gir padi.

***********

Armaan ne Dahlia ko bulaya.

"Pankhudi poori tarah se hosh mein thi," Armaan ne gusse se kaha, "Tumhe order kiya tha maine use nashe ka injection dene ka."

Dahlia sar jhukakar khadi rahi.

"I am sorry, Master," Dahlia ne kaha, "Mujhe jo theek laga maine kiya."

"Tum jaanti ho na order na man ke ka anjaam kya hota hai?" Armaan ne kaha.

"Jaanti hun Master," Dahlia ne kaha, "Aap jo saza denge woh majoor hogi."

"Apne liye na sahi, kam se kam uska to socha hota," Armaan ne gusse se kaha, "Jaanti ho kya halat ho gayi thi uski wahan? Kitna dard, kitni takleef hui use! Kitna royi, kitna tadpi woh!"

"Pankhudi ke liye hi kiya maine yeh sab. Main bas chahti thi ki aapko uski takleef, uske aansu dikahi de, Master," Dahlia ne jhuki hui nazron se kaha, "Ab aage aapki jaisi marzi."

Armaan uski baat sunke ekdum shaant ho gaya. Bina kuch kahe hi woh wahan se chala gaya.

**********

Dheere dheere Pankhudi ne apni aankhein kholi. Uski nazar dhundhli thi, lekin use Armaan ke apne paas hone ka ehsaas hua.

"Kya tum theek ho Pankhudi?" Armaan ne poocha.

Pankhudi Armaan ko dekh ke muskurayi. Usne Armaan ko gale lagaya. Usne apne aas paas dekha toh woh ek sundar se kamre me thi. Ek khidki se sooraj ki suneri roshni aa rahi thi.

"Main bilkul theek hun," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Tumhari baahon mein jo hun. Main jaanti hun, tum mujhse kitna pyaar karte ho, meri kitni parwah karte hi. Aise hi mujhe apni baahon mein liye raho hamesha ke liye...Kitna khoobsoorat sapna hai yeh, main kabhi nahi jaagna chahti..."

"Pankhudi yeh sapna nahi hai," Armaan ne kaha, "Haqeeqat hai. Tum yaha ho mere saath..."

"Nahi yeh haqeeqat nahi ho sakti," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Yeh ek sapna hai, dekho sooraj ki roshni hai, mere haath pair janeeron se jakde hue nahi hai, tum yahan mere paas ho, mujhe pyaar se apni baahon mein liye... haqeeqat me to, bas ek andhera kamra hai, wahan na sooraj ki roshni hai, na aazadi hai, na pyaar hai...aur tum mujhse bahot naaraz ho, jab main is khoobsoorat sapne se jagungi to main kahin bahot door hongi, tumhe kabhi nahi dekh paungi, aur mere saath kuch bahot bura hoga...please...mujhe is sapne se kabhi nahi jaagna hai..."

Pankhudi Armaan ki baahon mein apna sar chupakar rone lagi.

"Pankhudi yeh ek..." Armaan ne kaha.

"Ek khoobroorat sapna hai," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Jaise woh jungle wala sapna...pata hai ek baar maine sapna dekha tha, ki hum dono jungle mein kho gaye the, aur humne raat mein aag jalayi thi, aur maine tumhari baahon mein ek geet gaaya tha. Aur yaad hai woh jheel? Tumne mujhe daraya tha ki usme magarmach hai...main itna darr gayi thi...phir humne kiss kiya..."

"Pankhudi woh sapna nahi tha.." Armaan ne kaha, "Woh sach tha..."

"Aur woh beach wala sapna yaad hai..." Pankhudi ne kaha, "Hum dono paani mein khel rahe the aur ek sand castle bhi banya tha..."

Armaan ko ab chinta hone lagi thi. Armaan kabhi uske saath kisi beach par nahi gaya tha. Shayad Pankhudi ne sapna dekha tha. Pankhudi ko sapnon aur haqeeqat ke beech ka antar hi nahi samajh aa raha tha.

"Aur woh pyari se pahadi wala sapna...kitni pyari sunset dekhi thi humne..." Pankhudi ne kaha, "Aur ek baar na mere sapne me tum mere liye meri favorite cotton candy laaye the...aur humne itni baar pyaar kiya hai ki mujhe ab yaad bhi nahi"

Pankhudi ke gaalon par ek haya ki lali se chaa gayi. "Tumhara chhuna kitna pyara lagta hai mujhe...yeh sab mere sapne mein hota hai...hum saath mein hote hai, pyaar karte hai, aur mein apne dil ki saari baatein tumhe batati hun...aur yeh sapne mujhse koi nahi chheen sakta...tum mujhe bahot door bhejne waale ho...phir bhi mere sapnon mein to aaoge na?"

Armaan ko darr tha ki Pankhudi ki manasik stithi ab bahot nazuk thi. Woh sapnon aur haqeeqat mein fark hi nahi bata paa rahi thi.

"Pankhudi," Armaan ne uska chehra apni hatheiyon mein thaamte hue kaha, "Yeh sapna nahi hai Pankhudi, yeh sach hai, maine auction cancel kar diya, tumhari tadap dekhi nahi gayi mujhse...tum mere saath rehna chahti ho na...main kahin nahi bhejuna tumhe, tumhe apne paas rakhunga hamesha."

Armaan ne Pankhudi ko pyaar se gale lagaya. Uski aankhein nam thi. Use bahot guilt ho raha tha. Woh samjah hi nahi paa raha tha ki woh kya kar raha hai, aur kyu.

"Yeh sapna nahi hai?" Pankhudi ne darr ke kaha, "Lekin haqeeqat mein to mujhe bolne ki permission hi nahi hai...aur maine itni saari baatein ki...oh my God! I am so sorry...please mujhe punish mat karo...mujha laga ki main sapna dekh rahi hun...mujhe kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha..."

Armaan ne us gale lagakar shaant kiya.

"Nahi punish karunga Pankhudi," Armaan ne use pyaar se chumte hue kaha, "Main bahot hurt kiya hai tumhe. Ab aur nahi karunga."

Armaan use pyaar se sehlata raha jab tak woh shaant nahi hui. Phir Pankhudi ne apne aansu pooche aur Armaan ko dekh kar muskurayi. Usne chaaron taraf nazar pheri to dekha ki woh ek alag kamre me hai.

"Yeh to bahot sundar kamra hai," Pankhudi ne kaha.

"Yeh mera bedroom hai Pankhudi," Armaan ne kaha, "Mera personal space. Yahan mein kisi ko nahi aane deta. Lekin tumhe le aaya hun, kyunki tum special ho. Go on, have a look."

Pankhudi uthi aur us sundar kamre mein rakhi har cheez ko niharne lagi. Bahot sundar saza hua karma tha. Furniture exquisite tha, mehengi wooden flooring thi, ceiling par ek sundar sa jhoomar laga hua tha. Ek taraf ek bookshelf tha, jisme Armaan ki favorite books thi.

Bed bahot bada aur sundar tha. Upar soft satin sheets lagi hui thi. Pankhudi ne pyaar se unpar haath phera. Bed ke paas ek side table par ek table lamp tha, aur lamp ke paas ek photo frame tha. Pankhudi ne frame uthaya aur tasveer ko gaur se dekhne lagi. Ek pyari se baachi thi us frame me, apne teddy bear ko gale lagaye muskura rahi thi. Pankhudi ne apni ungliyan us tasveer par pheri aur muskurayi.

Armaan ne woh frame Pankhudi ke haath se le liya aur wapas table par rakh diya.

"Use mat chhedo," Armaan ne kaha.

Pankhudi ne baat maan li aur kamre explore karti rahi. Bed ke paas ek glass enclosure mein Armaan ka bicchu tha. Pankhudi ne use gaur se dekha, to woh halke peele rang ka tha, aur us bicchu ke pincers bahot patle the, Pankhudi ki nazuk ungliyon ki tarah.

"That's the Deathstalker," Armaan ne kaha, "Duniya ke sabse khatarnak bicchuon me se ek hai. Bahot zehrila hota hai iska dank. But mere saare pet scorpions me yeh mera personal favorite hai."

"Tum bicchu paalte ho?" Pankhudi ne hairani poocha.

"Haan," Armaan ne kaha, "Ek kamre mein isi tarah ke enclosures mein rakhe hue mere paas alag alag species ke bicchu hai. Kuch zehrili makdiyan bhi hai. Mujhe arachnids acche lagte hai. They are amazing predators."

"Kaat te nahi hai tumne yeh bicchu?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

"Bilkul kaat te hai. Kayi baar kaata hai. Adat si hai mujhe," Armaan ne kaha.

"Aur tumne itna kharatnak bicchu apne bedroom mein rakha hua hai?" Pankhudi ne poocha, "Darr nahi lagta?"

"Khatarank to tum bhi ho Pankhudi," Armaan ne muskurakar kaha.

Pankhudi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki Armaan ki is baat par woh kaise react kare. But Armaan use itne pyaar se dekh raha tha ki woh sharma gayi.

Armaan ne curtain khola aur sooraj ki roshni se kamra bhar gaya. Pankhudi ke dekha ki Armaan ke bedroom se attached ek terrace hai. Ek kaanch ki deewar thi bedroom aur terrace ko seperate karte hue. Armaan ne kaanch ka darwaza khola aur Pankhudi terrace ki taraf badhi. Wahan se ek sundar se samundar kinare ki nazara dikh raha tha. Samudri hawa ki khusboo Pankhudi ko bahot emotional kar deti. Uska gaanv bhi samundar kinare basa hua tha jaha uska bachpan beeta.

Armaan peeche se aa kar apne haath Pankhudi ke kamar par lapet liye.

"Kitna sundar hai sab kuch," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Kya yeh haqeeqat hai? Ya main phir se sapna dekh rahi hun?"

"This is all real, cupcake," Armaan ne use pyaar se chumte hue kaha.

Armaan aur Pankhudi ne terrace par khade rehkar sunset dekhi. Itni sundar nazara Pankhudi ko kayi dino baad dikh raha tha. Itne dino se to woh us andhere kamre mein band thi jahan use din ya raat tak ka pata nahi chalta tha.

Dekhte hi dekhte andhera ho gaya. Dono wapas bedroom mein aa gaye.

"Tumhe kuch dikhata hun," Armaan ne ek UV torch on karte hue kaha, "Scorpions UV light mein glow karte hai, dekho."

Pankhudi ne dhyaan se dekha Armaan ka pet scorpion, ekdum se neele hare rang mein chamakne laga.

"Bahot pyara hai yeh," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Aur khatarnak bhi."

"Woh to hai," Armaan ne kaha, "Hey, ise kuch khilana chahogi?"

Pankhudi ne gaur kiya ki Armaan ki aankhon mein ek childish excitement.

"Kya khata hai yeh?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

"Insects, cockroaches," Armaan ne kaha, "Ruko ek cockroach le aata hun apne scorpion ke liye."

"Nahi please," Pankhudi ne darr ke kaha, "Mujhe cockroach se bahot darr lagta hai."

Armaan hasne laga. Woh yeh sochkar hairaan reh gaya ki yeh ladki jo ek aadmi ki khoon karne ki himmat rakhti hai, woh cockroach se darti hai.

"Use kitna akelapan mehsoos hota hoga na wahan," Pankhudi ne innocently Armaan se poocha, "Iske liye ek girlfriend kyu nahi laate?"

Armaan muskuraya. "Jaanti ho female scorpions kitni aggressive hoti hai?" Armaan ne kaha, "Arachnid world mein females decide karti hai unko kiske saath sex karna hai. Agar use male pasand na aaye to woh use jaan se maar daalti hai."

Armaan Pankhudi ko ghoorta raha. Pankhudi samajh gayi Armaan ka ishara kis taraf hai. Pankhudi ke aankhon mein aansu aa gaye.

"I am sorry," Pankhudi ne kaha.

Armaan ne use ekdum se bistar par dhakel diya aur use passionately kiss karne laga.

"Tumne Rihaan ko sirf isiliye maar daala kyunki tum nahi chahti ki me mere siwa koi aur tumhe chhue," Armaan ne use passionately choomte hue kaha, "Kyu Pankhudi, kyu chahti ho mujhe itna? Maine tumpar itne julm kiya lekin tumhe kabhi mujhpar attack nahi kiya, mujhse ladhne ki koshish nahi kari. Itna to main jaanta hun ki tum kamjor abla bilkul nahi ho. Apne haq ka liye ladhna jaanti ho. Tumhari marzi ke khilaaf koi tumhe chhue to tum uski jaan bhi le sakti ho. Maine tumhare saath jo bhi kiya isme kahin na kahin tumhari marzi thi, warna tum mujhpar kabhi na kabhi attack karti zaroor. Kayi mauke the tumhare paas."

Armaan Pankhudi ko itna passionately chhu raha tha ki Pankhudi pighalne lagi. Armaan ne ek jhatke mein uski dress kheenchkar utar di aur use nanga kar diya. Woh uske boobs choosne laga.

"Bharosa hai tumpar," Pankhudi ne karahte hue jawab diya, "Yakeen hai ki tum mujhe kuch nahi hone doge."

Armaan muskuraya. Ek passion sawar ho gaya tha uske sar par. Usne Pankhudi ki taange kholi to dekha ki woh geeli thi. Usne ke jhatke mein apna lund uski chut mein ghuseda. Pankhudi ke muh se chahat bhari awazein nikal rahi thi. Armaan use zor zor se passionately chodne laga. Pankhudi ne bhi apni taange uske kamar par lapet li. Apni baahein uske gaale mein daalkar uske hoton ko chumne lagi. Dono ek doosre se itne passionately lipte pade the, ek doosre ki baahon mein pighal rahe the. Dono ko ek saath orgasm hua, aur dono ek doorse ke baahon mein lipatkar lete rahe.

"I am sorry maine tumhare liye problems khadi kar di use maarkar," Pankhudi ne kaha.

"Problems?" Armaan muskurakar bola, "Meri life ka sabse bada kaand hai yeh Pankhudi."

Pankhudi uski baat sunkar darr gayi.

"Tumhe shayad andaza nahi hai ki Rihaan kitni powerful family ko belong karta hai," Armaan ne kaha, "Uska bhai Nishant aaya tha use khojte hue. Nishaant jaanta tha ki Rihaan mere saath meeting karne mere ghar aaya hua tha."

"Phir?" Pankhudi ne darr kar poocha.

"Maine abhi ke liye situation handle kar di hai," Armaan ne kaha, "Maine Nishant ko convince kar diya ki Rihana yahan se sahi salamat nikal gaya hai. Kuch fabricated proof bhi dikhaye. Ab woh Rihaan ko duniya bhar mein khojne mein kuch dino tak busy rahega."

"Kya woh wapas aayega?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

"Haan," Armaan ne kaha, "Zaroor aayega. Jab Rihaan use kahin nahi milega tab woh mujhse dobara milne aayega. Uske baad is matter ko kaise handle karna hai yeh tab ki situation par depend karega."

"Kya woh mujhe le jayega?" Pankhudi ne dari hui aankhon se poocha.

"Main tumhe uske hawale nahi karunga Pankhudi," Armaan ne kaha, "Us se accha hoga ki main tumhe goli maar du. Aasaan maut hogi."

Pankhudi ne darr kar apni aankhein band kar li. Jab aankein kholi toh Armaan use dekh kar muskura raha tha.

"Main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga, meri sweet cupcake," Armaan ne kaha.

Pankhudi sharmkar Armaan ki baahon mein sama gayi. Armaan uski zulfon mein apni ungliyan pherta raha.

Armaan ko uski gardan par woh cigarette se jalne ka nishaan dekha. Use guilty feel hua aur uski aankhon mein aansu aa gaye. Usne us nishaan ko ek halki ungli se chua aur ek darknaak yaad uske aankhon ke saamne aa gayi.

*********

Armaan ek andheri jagah par bandha pada tha. Uske haath aur pair janeeron se jakde hue the. Wahan bahot andhera tha, kuch dikhai nahi de raha tha.

Usne madad ke liye awaz lagayi lekin kisi ne bhi jawab nahi diya. Chuhon ke awaz aa rahi thi uske charon taraf. Aur metal chains ki awaz jab usne apne upar chal rahe cockroaches ho hatane ki koshish ki. Use bahot bhookh lagi hui thi. Woh simatkar zameen par hi let gaya, is umeed main ki pet se uth raha bhookh ka dard kam ho. Use thand lag rahi thi aur uska shareer kaanp raha tha.

Thodi der mein kadmon ki aahat sunai di. Ek aurat aa rahi thi. Usne light jalayi aur us basement mein ek peela bulb jalne laga.

"Kaisa hai mera drug addict rat?" us aurat ne ek meethi awaz mein kaha, "Bhook lagi hogi na? Yeh lo, kha lo."

Us aurat ne ek plate mein ek jali hui roti saamne rakha.

"Please mom," Armaan ne kaha, "Main jala khua khana nahi kha paunga."

"Kitni baar kaha hai tujhse mujhe mom mat bulaya kar," woh aurat gusse se boli, "Maa nahi hun main teri, saale randi ki aulaad."

Armaan ke aankhon se ek aasnu gir pada. Use bahot bhookh lagi thi.

"Tere baap ko main baccha nahi de paayi to usne rakhail paal li," woh aurat boli, "Aur tu, saale gutter ki paidaish, tu banega karodon ki jaidad ka eklauta waaris? Kabhi kabhi mann karta hai ki tujhe bhi phook diya hota teri maa ke saath, lekin tere baap ko teri bahot chinta hai, isiliye zinda rakha hai tujhe. Chal kha le chup chaap."

Armaan bas simat kar baith gaya tha.

"To tu aise nahi maanega huh?" woh aurat boli, "Ruk jaa abhi batati hun."

Woh seedhiyon se upar chali gayi aur kuch der baar lauti ek garam sariya lekar. Usne Armaan ke seene par woh sariya chua diya. Armaan cheekha.

"Fuck you bitch!" Armaan ne kaha, "Papa ko pata chala na, tu dekh tera kya haal karenge woh."

"Ek number ka kamina hai tera baap," woh aurat muskurakar boli, "Lekin ek number ka chutiya bhi hai. Use laga tha mujhe pata nahi chalega rakhail ke baare mein. Saali thi to bahot khoobsoorat, teri randi maa, teri yeh khoobsoorat shakal tujhe teri maa se hi mili hai. Khair, jab maine jinda jalaya tha na use, to roti gidgidati bhi bahot khoobsoorat lagi thi. Tu bhi tha wahin, paalne mein. Ek baar to mann kiya tujhe bhi jala dun, lekin tujhe bachpan mein hi maar deti to Mathur saab koi nayi rakhail paal lete aur tere jaisa ek aur haramzaada paida kar lete...phir kitno ko maarti phirti main?"

Armaan ki aankhon mein aansu aa gayi apni maa ke maut ke baare mein jaankar. Saath hi bahot gussa bhi aaya.

"Tere baap ko pata bhi nahi chala ki unki rakhail ko kisne maara. Aur maine ek adarsh biwi ki tarah is dukh mein unka saath diya, aur ko convince kiya ki hum tumhe goad le lenge, main tumhe maa ka pyaar dungi" woh aurat boli, "Kayi saalon tak ek acchi maa hone ka natak karna pada, aur jab mere patidev videsh gaye paise kamane ke liye, tujhe mere bharose chhod gaye. Ab main jo chahun tere saath kar sakti hun."

Armaan apni janjeeron mein sangharsh karne laga. Uski aankhon mein tez gussa tha.

"Aye haye, gussa to dekho sahabjaade ka," woh aurat haskar boli, "Kuch nahi kar sakta tu. Teri yeh jo drugs ki lat hai na, iske baare mein sabko pata hai. Maine sabko bataya hai ki tujhe drug rehab centre mein bheja gaya hai. Ab yeh sabko thodi na pata hai ki tujhe yeh lat maine hi lagwayi hai. Dawai dene ke bahane drugs ke injection lagaye the maine tujhe. Ab tu kisi se kuch bhi kahe, koi teri kisi baat par yakeen nahi karega. Kyunki sabki nazar main main ek acchi maa hun, aur tu ek bigda hua drug addict beta. Sab yahi samjhenge ki drug ki lat ke wajah se tera dimag kharab ho gaya hai."

Woh aurat pagalon ki tarah hasne lagi. Usne woh garam sariye se Armaan ko baar baar chukar jalaya.

"Dard ke adat daal le," woh muskurate hue boli, "Tujhe tadpane mein maza aata hai mujhe. Aur agle mahine tera eighteenth birthday hai, tu apne doston ke saath party karne jayega, aur apni adat ke mutabik phir drugs lega, lekin iss baar kuch jyada hi le lega, aur agli din subah teri laash milegi."

"You bitch!" Armaan chillaya. Woh samajh gaya tha ki usne use maar daalne ka plan banaya hai.

"Sab log aake shok jatayenge," woh boli, "Bechari maa, jis bete ko itne saalon se pyaar se paala woh apni drug habit ki wajah se duniya se chala gaya. Teri maut ki khabar sunkar tere papa videsh senlaut aayenge aur unko itna gehra sadma lagega ki woh ek hafte ke andar unko bhi dil ka daura padega aur woh bhi mujhe is duniya mein akele chhodkar chale jayenge."

Armaan samajh gaya tha ki uski sauteli maa ne ne uski poori family ko khatam karke unki daulat hatiyae ka plan banaya tha. Use bahot dard ho raha tha. Bhookh bhi lagi thi. Lekin us se jyada gussa tha uske andar.

"Toh yeh sab tune paise ke liye kiya?" Armaan gusse se bola, "Saali gutter ki raand, paise ke liye meri beqasoor maa ko maar daala, mujhe drug addict bana diya, itna torture kiya, aur teri itni himmat ki papa ko bhi maar daalne ki dhamki de rahi hai? Ab main bhi dekhta hun ki jis daulat ke tu sapne dekh rahi hai woh kaise tujhe milti hai. Ek phooti kaudi nahi lagne dunga tere haath!"

Armaan ki aankhon mein ek aag thi. Woh aurat muskurayi aur Armaan ke baal pakadke woh sariya uski aankh ke paas le aayi. "Beta zinda rahega to kuch kar payega na?" woh boli, "Chahu to isiliye waqt teri yeh do khoobsoorat aankehin fod du, phir kis kaam aayegi tere yeh karodon ki daulat? Aankhein neechi kar, suar kahin ke!"

Woh sariya Armaan ki aankh on ke itne nazdeek padki hui thi ki Armaan shaant ho gaya. Woh samajh gaya ki is waqt woh ladhne ki position mein nahi tha. Usne apni aankhein neechi kar di.

"Chal ab woh roti kha," woh aurat boli, "Kya zamana aa gaya hai. Maa ke haathon ka bana khana accha nahi lagta aaj kal ke bigde hue baachon ko."

Armaan bas use gusse se ghoorta raha.

"Nahi khayega?" woh aurat haskar boli, "Theek hai mat kha. Chuhe kha lenge. Aaj ke baad nahi laungi tere liye khana. Phir bhookh se tadpega tab akal thikane aayegi."

Usne woh roti uthake ek taraf phenk di aur kuch chuhe use khane lag gaye. Usne light bujha di, aur Armaan ko bhookh aur dard se tadapne ke liye chhod diya.

Pankhudi ne dekha ki Armaan uski baahon mein aankhein munde leta hai aur kaanp raha hai. Usne pyaar se haath phera use sar par. Armaan ne aankhein kholi to uski aankhon mein aansu the. Pankhudi ne pehli baar Armaan ki aankhon mein aansu dekhe.

"Kya tum theek ho?" Pankhudi ne bade pyaar se poocha.

"Nahi, Pankhudi," Armaan ne kaapnti hui awaz me jawab diya, "Maine theek nahi hun, main bilkul uske jaisa ban gaya hun."

"Kiske jaisa?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

Armaan ne koi jawab nahi diya. Woh bas Pankhudi ko apni baahon me liye, annkhein moonde leta raha.

Final Update

Armaan kaafi der tak aankhe moonde leta raha. Phir use apni aankhein kholi, Pankhudi ko dekha aur muskuraya.

"Bhookh lagi hogi na?" Armaan ne Pankhudi se poocha, "Kya khaogi?"

"Jo bhi tum khilana chaho," Pankhudi ne muskurakar jawab diya.

"Tumhari favorite fish curry banwau?" Armaan ne poocha, "With white rice?"

Pankhudi muskurayi. Fish curry aur rice uska favorite khana tha. Usne haan me sar hilaya. Armaan ne chef ko order ke diya. Kuch servants ne uske bedroom ke terrace par table aur chairs lagwaye aur us table to candles se sajaya. Pankhudi yeh sab dekh kar muskura rahi thi.

Armaan ne use apni ek white shirt pehnayi thi. Pankhudi ko uski shirt pehen na bahot accha lagta tha. Jungle mein bitaye meethe lamho ki yaad dilata tha use.

Thodi der mein khana ready hua. Fish curry aur rice ke saath saath chef ne ek salad bhi banaya tha. Ek servant ne 2 wine glasses lagwaye aur Armaan ne sabse expensive wine ki ek bottle khulwayi. Servant ne dono glasses mein wine bhari.

"Cheers!" Armaan ne kaha.

Pankhudi hesistate kar rahi thi. "Maine pehle kabhi drink nahi kari hai," Pankhudi ne kaha.

"Aaj try kar lo," Armaan ne kaha, "Red wine ka taste kuch angoor jaisa hota hai. Tumhe pasand aayega."

Pankhudi ne ek sip liya lekin uske chehre se saaf pata lag raha tha ki use taste pasand nahi aaya. Armaan muskuraya. "Koi baat nahi," usne kaha, "Nahi pasand aayi to rehne do."

Servant ne Pankhudi ko fish curry aur rice parosa. Pankhudi ne is se pehle kabhi Armaan ke saath kahan nahi khaya tha, woh hichkicha rahi thi.

"It's alright cupcake," Armaan ne kaha, "Shuru karo."

Pankhudi ne khana shuru kiya. Khana bahot tasty tha. Pankhudi ko bhookh bhi lagi thi. Use khana enjoy karte hue dekh kar Armaan ko accha laga.

"This is really good," Armaan ne khana taste karte hue kaha.

"Acchi hai," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Kisi din mere haath ki khake dekhna, is se bhi acchi bana sakti hun main."

Armaan muskuraya. "Zaroor," usne kaha.

"Adrak aur laal mirch thodi kam hai. Inki matra sahi to to bahot chatpati banti hai. Meri maa duniya mein sabse acchi fish curry banati hai, unhi se seekha hai maine," Pankhudi ne muskurakar kaha. Phir apni maa ki yaad aate hi uski aankhein nam ho gayi, is khayal se ki woh apni maa ko dobara kabhi nahi dekh payegi. Pankhudi ekdum se chup ho gayi.

Armaan samajh gaya ki Pankhudi kya mehsoos kar rahi thi. Woh apni chair se utha aur Pankhudi ko gale lagaya. Pankhudi uske kandhe par sar rakh kar rone lagi. Armaan ne uski peeth par pyaar se haath phera. Thodi der mein Pankhudi shaant ho gayi.

Khana khatam karke dono bistar par let gaye. Armaan ne Pankhudi ke kapde utare aur uske badan par pyaar se haath pherna laga. Uski aankhon mein ek aisa emotion tha jo Pankhudi samajh nahi paa rahi thi. Usne Pankhudi ke nazuk haatheliyon ko apne haathon mein thama aur chuma. Phir usne Pankhudi ko apni baahon mein liya aur pyaar se sehlakar chuma. Pankhudi dheere dheere uski baahon mein so gayi.

****************

Alge din subah jab Pankhudi ki aankhein khuli to woh apne apartment mein thi. Wahin apartment jahan woh Nisha ke saath rehti thi, uski bistar par thi jahan usne Armaan ke saath apni zindagi ka pehla sex kiya tha. Us chadar par khoon ka daag abhi bhi tha.

Pankhudi bistar se uthi aur apne chaaron taraf dekhne lagi. Usne lage mein jo metal collar daala tha Armaan ne woh hata diya gaya tha. Woh bina kapdon ke apne bistar par thi. Kabhi kabhi use laga ki kahin woh sapna to nahi dekh rahi thi. Lekin uski gardan par aur talwaon par cigarette se jalne ke nishaan the. Matlab woh sab sach mein hua tha. Sapna nahi tha. Toh kya yeh sapna hai?

Pankhudi kuch der tak kuch samajh nahi paayi. Apna sar apni hatheliyon mein thame baithi rahi. Phir uski nazar uske bistar ke paas rakhe side table par padi. Wahan uska phone rakha hua tha jo contract sign karte samay usne Armaan ko saunpa tha. Usne time aur date dekha. Continously andhere kamre mein band rehne ke kaaran use andaza hi nahi tha ki kitna samay beeth chuka hai. Date dekhkar use ehsaas hua ki usne Armaan ke saath lagbhag 3 mahine bitaye the. Phir uski nazar ek envelope par padi jispar uska naam likha hua tha. Envelope par ek laal gulaab tha. Pankhudi ne envelope khola to ek chitthi thi. Pankhudi ne writing pechaan li.

My precious Pankhudi,

Tumhare liye mein jo mehsoos karta hun, shayad main khud kabhi samajh nahi paaya. Kabhi lagta hai tumhari masoomiyat lootke tumhe poori tarah se barbaad kar dun, kabhi lagta hai tumhe pyaar karun, tumhara khayal rakhun, aur kabhi tumhare aankhon se ek aansu na girne dun. Main nahi jaanta main kya chahta hun, Pankhudi, I'm so messed up in my head.

Lekin tum...tum duniya ki sabse pyari ladki ho. Tumhari aankhon mein itni massomiyat, itna pyar hai, aur main sach mein us pyaar ke kaabil nahi hun. Kitna kuch kiya tumne mere liye, apna sab kuch saunp diya mujhe, aur sirf mujhe...kabhi kabhi sochta hun, aisa kya dekhti ho tum mujh me, jo itna chahti ho mujhe?

I am setting you free, Pankhudi. Tumhare jitne bhi photos aur videos mere paas hai, sab delete kar diye hai main. Maine tumpar bahot julm kiye hai, ab aur nahi karunga. Tum ek pyari chidiya ki tarah ho, meri sweet cucake, ab pinjre mein band nahi rakhunga, tum azad ho, apne aasmaan mein udne ke liye.

Love

Armaan

p.s. Drawer mein dekhna, tumhare liye tohfa rakha hai.

Pankhudi woh chitthi padhe rone lagi. Woh nahi samajh paa rahi thi ki woh aisa kyu mehsoos kar rahi thi, woh Armaan ko itna kyu miss kar rahi thi. Armaan ne use azaad kar diya, ab woh jo chahe kar sakti thi, jahan chahe jaa sakti thi, use ab kisi cheez se darne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Lekin uske mann mein ek khalipan sa tha.

Usne drawer khola to usme ek jewellery box paaya. Kholkar dekha to usme woh saare gehne the jo usne majboori mein beche the. Usne pyaar se un gehnon par haath phera aur uske aankhon se ek aansu gira. Us drawer mein uski scooty ki chabi bhi thi. Woh daudkar khidki ke paas gayi. Usne dekha ki uski scooty wahin khadi thi jahan woh use hamesha park karti thi. Woh daudkar seedhiyon se neeche utari aur apni scooty ko pyaar se chhune lagi. Yeh wahi scooty thi jis se woh itna pyaar karti thi, jo usne apne mehnat se kamaye hue paise jodkar khareedi thi. Scooty ko paint kiya gaya tha aur woh ekdum naye jaisi chamak rahi thi, lekin thi woh wahi purani pyari si scooty.

Pankhudi apne apartment mein wapas aayi aur turant Palak ko phone kiya.

"Didi!" Palak chehek kar boli, "Kya sach mein tum ho? Main koi sapna to nahi dekh rahi?"

"Haan Palak," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Main ghar aa rahi hun chukti."

Pankhudi shaam ki bus se ghar ke liye nikal padi. Jab woh Armaan ke saath gayi thi, usne kabhi nahi socha tha ki woh apni family se dobara mil payegi. Agle din subah woh ghar pahunch gayi. Palak uska intezaar kar rahi thi.

Dono behene ek doosre ko dekh kar bhavuk ho gayi aur gale lagakar rone lagi.

"Mujhe laga tha main aapko kabhi nahi dekh paungi," Palak ne kaha.

"Mujhe bhi kuch aisa hi laga tha," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Lekin usne mujhe azad kar diya."

Palak Pankhudi ko cab mein bithakar ek doosri jagah le jaa rahi thi.

"Hum kahan jaa rahe hai Palak?" Pankhudi ne poocha.

"Shhh surprise hai," Palak ne kaha.

Pankhudi muskurati hui apne surprise ka intezaar kar rahi thi. Thodi der mein woh wahan pahunche.

Palak use ek chhote se makaan ke andar le gayi.

"Yeh humara apna ghar hai didi," Palak ne kaha, "Ab hum us kiraye ke ghar mein nahi rehte. Aapne jo paise diye the, us se maine yeh ghar khareeda hai. Kagaz bhi poore hai iske, maa ke naam par. Ab koi humare ghar par bulldozer nahi chalayega. Is ghar par humara kanoonan haq hai."

Pankhudi woh pyara sa ghar dekh kar bahot khush hui. Aangan mein ek chhota sa garden tha, jahan Palak ne kuch gulaab ke paudhe lagaye the. Ek jhula bhi tha. Pankhudi uspar baithkar jhulne lagi.

"Mera medical college mein admission ho gaya hai didi," Palak ne kaha, "Bas ab 5 saal mehnat karni hai, phir main doctor ban jaungi, jaisa aapka samna tha. Goverment college mein admission mila hai mujhe, to jo paise aapne diye, uske aadhe se bhi kam mein mera MBBS poora ho jayega."

Pankhudi khushi se Palak ko gale laga liya.

"Aapne itni badi kurbaani di didi," Palak ne kaha, "Itna to maine kar hi sakti thi aapka sapna poora karne ke liye."

"Yeh to sabse bada surprise tha Palak," Pankhudi ne kaha, "I am so proud of you."

"Sabse bada surprise to abhi baaki hai didi," Pankhudi ne kaha, "Andar aao."

Palak Pankhudi ko kitchen me le gayi. Wahan Pankhudi ki maa khana bana rahi thi. Woh apne do pairon par khadi thi. Pankhudi ne apni maa ko itne saalon se wheelchair mein dekha tha. Lekin aaj apne pairon par khada dekha dar, uski aankhon se khushi ke aansu nikal aaye.

"Maine ek accha physiotherapist hire kiya," Palak ne kaha, "Abhi maa lathi ke sahare chal paati hai. Kuch dino mein to laathi ki bhi zaroorat nahi padegi."

Pankhudi ki maa ne mud kar dekha to Pankhudi khadi thi Palak ke saath.

"Pankhudi beta," uski maa ne muskurate hue kaha, "Kitne dino baad dekh rahi hun tumhe. Kaisi ho beta? Tumhe bhookh lagi hogi na? Maine kitni saari cheezein banayi hai tumhare liye. Ghar ka khana kahan mila hoga tumhe London mein."

Pankhudi muskurakar apni maa ke gale lagi.

Teeno ne milkar khana khaya. Pankhudi itni khush shayad pehle kabhi nahi thi. Uske pariwar mein ab sab kuch theek ho gaya tha.

Raat mein Palak ke saath leti thi.

"Kaise beete itni din didi?" Palak ne kaha, "Kya unse tumhe hurt kiya?"

"Nahi," Pankhudi ne muskurate hue kaha.

"Kaisa hai woh?" Palak ne poocha.

"Woh...kabhi aag to kabhi paani ki tarah hai, har pal rang badalta hai, itne saare dard samaye hue hai apne andar, lekin bolta kuch nahi hai, bas uski aankhein bolti hai, kabhi ek rakshas ki tarah tadpata hai...to kabhi ek farishte ki tarah tookar pyaar karta hai...use koi nahi samajh sakta...shayad woh khud bhi apne aap ko nahi samajhta..." Pankhudi ne kaha.

Pankhudi ki aankhon mein itna pyaar tha, Palak samajh gayi ki ki use Armaan se ek khaas lagaav ho gaya hai. Palak ne Pankhudi ko gale lagaya.

Dono behen baatein karte karte so gayi. Pankhudi ne kuch din apne family ke saath bitaye phir mumbai laut aayi. Kuch dino baad use ek call aayi. Ek job ki offer thi, aur salary uske pichle job se kayi behtar thi. Usne inteview ke liye bulaya gaya. Turant select kar liya gaya. Pankhudi ne job join kari, aur uski life ab pehle jaisi ho chuki thi, bilkul saral aur shaant.

Kayi din beet gaye. Pankhudi apni life jeeti rahi. Lekin woh Armaan ko bahot miss kar rahi thi. Kayi baar raaton mein use yaad karti. Uska touch miss karti. Us chadar par laga woh khoon ka daag abhi tak nahi dhoya tha Pankhudi ne. Woh aksar us daag ko chhukar Armaan ko yaad karti. Armaan ne use apni kahani kabhi nahi batai, lekin uski aankhon mein beshumaar dard aur tadap dekhti thi Pankhudi ne. Woh use jaan na chahti thi. Kabhi kabhi uska mann karta ki kaash woh Armaan ko contact kar paati lekin uska koi tareeka nahi tha. Jtine bhi number se Armaan ne kabhi use call kiya tha woh saare band the. Armaan ne bhi saamne se use kabhi contact nahi kiya. Pankhudi samajh nahi paa rahi thi, ki jis aadmi se woh itna darti thi, jisne uska jeevan yun narak bana diya tha, woh us se milne kar liye, us se baat karne ke liye itna kyu taras rahi thi. Use apni yeh shaant zindagi ab kyu raas nahi aa rahi thi.

Ek raat bhayank toofan tha, aur tez baarish ho rahi thi. Pankhudi ne khana banakar khaya aur apne bistar par let gayi. Bijli kat gayi thi aandhi ke kaaran aur Pankhudi andhere mein hi leti rahi. Uski nazar uske bedroom ke sheeshe par padi. Usne dekha ki sheeshe se peeche se ek halki si light chamak rahi hai. Usne sheesha deewar se hataya to dekha ki ek camera laga hua tha sheeshe ke peeche. Usi se woh light aa rahi thi.

Pankhudi us camere ke saamne apne ghuton ke bal batih gayi aur us camere ko chhute hue pyaar se muskurayi.

"Kya tum mujhe ab bhi dekh rahe ho?" Pankhudi ne camere mein dekhe hue kaha, "Please wapas aa jao, I miss you."

********

Armaan camere me se Pankhudi ko dekh raha tha. Uski screen par Pankhudi ki khoobsoorat ki image dikh rahi thi. Woh uski pyari si baat sunkar kar muskuraya.

"Mat bulao mujhe cupcake," Armaan ne mann hi mann kaha, "Badi muskhil se door kiya hai mein tumhe apne aap se...darta hun, kahin kuch bahot bura na kar dun tumhare saath..."

Utne mein Armaan ke bedroom ke darwaze par dastak hui.

Armaan ne screen band kar di aur kaha, "Yes, come in."

Ek aadmi andar aaya aur kaha, "Sir, Mr. Nishant Malhotra aaye hai, aapke milna chahte hai."

Armaan ne ghadi dekhi. Raat ke 10 baj rahe the. Woh soch mein pad gaya ki Nishant us se itni der raat kyu milne aaya hai.

Armaan us kamre mein pahuncha jahan Nishant baitha tha. Nishant ek cigarette pita hua, table par apne dono pair rakhe baitha tha. Armaan ne use gaur se dekha, woh nashe mein lag raha tha.

"Hello Nishant," Armaan ne kaha, "Rihaan ki kuch khabar mili?"

"Wahi to lene aaya hun," Nishant ne muskurate hue kaha.

"Kya matlab?" Armaan ne poocha.

"Bhai kya gazab chutiya kata tune mera, Armaan," Nishant ne kaha, "Pichle 3 mahino se main chutiyon ki tarah har jagah Rihaan ko khojta raha, jabki tune use usi raat maar kar kahin gaada hai."

"Aur yeh galatfemhni tumhe kaise hui?" Armaan ne poocha.

Nishant muskyraya. "Tune kaha tha ki Rihaan yahan se nikalkar Hotel Golden Tulip gaya."

"Haan uski ek meeting thi," Armaan ne kaha.

Nishant ne kaha, "Hotel ke bahot saare staff ne confirm kiya ki usne check in kiya tha. Rihaan ka card swipe hua tha reception par, uski phone location bhi thi wahin ki. Ek CCTV footage bhi dikhayi gayi thi jisme Rihaan wahan check in karke, ek ghate baad apne driver ke saath kahin jaate hue nazar aa raha hai."

Armaan dhyaan se Nishant ki baat sun raha tha.

"Maine use har jagah khoja," Nishant ne kaha, "Din raat khojta raha apne bhai ko, kahin nahi mila. Phir maine woh CCTV footage baar baar dekhi. Uski gaadi par theek usi jagah dent dikh raha hai jahan 6 mahine pehle laga tha. And guess what? Rihaan 6 mahine pehle bhi usi hotel gaya tha."

"It could be a coincidence," Armaan ne kaha.

"Co-incidence my foot!" Nishant chillaya, "Hotel jaakar poocha to koi saala apna muh nahi khola. Phir woh IT waale bande ke beti ke gale par chaku rakha tab bola saala tote ki tarah ki yeh 6 mahine purani footage thi."

"Usne bataya ki yeh sab usne kisne kehne par kiya?" Armaan ne poocha.

Nishant muskuraya. "Naam bataya hota to main yahan sirf baat karne nahi aaya hota, Armaan," Nishant ne kaha, "Us saale ki to poori family ki gardan kaat di maine par phir bhi naam nahi bola saala."

Armaan ne gehri saans li.

"Kehna kya chahte ho?" Armaan ne kaha, "Get to the point."

"Alright, I'll get to the fucking point," Nishant ne Armaan ki aankhon se aankhein milkar kaha, "Mera bhai kahan hai Armaan?"

"Mujhe nahi pata," Armaan ne eye contact maintain karte hue kaha.

"Abhi bhi waqt hai, sach bata do," Nishant ne kaha, "Kyunki agar mujhe sach khodke nikana pada to tum jaante ho kya hoga. Agar tumne Rihaan ko kuch kiya hai to abhi bata do. We will sort it out, like gentlemen."

"Rihaan aur mere beech bahot saare deals hui hai," Armaan ne kaha, "Mera business partner tha, main use kyu kuch karunga?"

"Lekin is baar deal nahi hui thi," Nishant ne kaha, "Papers sign nahi kiye the na usne?"

"Agreement ke kuch clauses mein changes chahiye the use," Armaan ne kaha, "Agle hafte phir se meeting hone waali thi humari."

"Kaise hoti meeting jab tumhe use raat usko gayab kar diya tha," Nishant daant peeste hue bola.

"Usko gayab karke deal sign ho jaati kya?" Armaan ne kaha, "Jara dimaag se socho, mere paas Rihaan ho hurt karne ki koi wajah nahi thi. In fact uske gayab hone se mera nuksaan hi hua hai."

"Main maan sakta hun Rihaan ko tumne hurt nahi kiya," Nishaant ne kaha, "Shayad kisi aur ne kiya hai aur tum use bachane ki koshish kar rahe ho."

"Agar tumne bina kisi proof ke mujhpar aarop lagane ka mann bana liya hai to meri koi bhi baat tumhe samajh mein nahi aayegi," Armaan ne kaha.

"Proof?" Nishant ne hanste hue kaha, "Jis din milega na...jaante ho us din kya hoga?...Sarvanaash!"

Nishaant pagalon ki tarah hasne laga. Armaan gambhir nazar se usko ghoorta raha.

"To ab bhi muh nahi khologe, huh?" Nishant ne Armaan ke aankhon mein dekha aur muskurate hue kaha, "Lagta hai jise bhi tum bachane ki koshish kar rahe ho woh tumhare liye special hai. Bahot jald pata laga lunga. Phir uske saath main kya karunga yeh tum soch bhi nahi sakte."

Nishant uthkar chala gaya. Armaan shaanti se use jaate hue dekh raha tha. Usne ek cigarette jalayi aur wahin sofa par baitha cigarette pine laga. Uske dimag mein bahot saare khayal daud rahe the.

Thodi der baad woh wapas apne kamre mein gaya. Usne screen on kari aur Pankhudi ki pyari chavi us screen par ubhar aayi. Woh apne bistar par apna teddy bear apni baahon mein liye shaanti se so rahi thi. Armaan ne screen par bani uski soti hui tasveer ko apni ungli se chhua aur muskuraya. Doosre hi pal uske mann mein khayal aaya ki woh kitne khatre mein hai. Uska mann yeh soch kar kaanp utha ki woh Nishant ke haath lagi to uske saath kya hoga.

"Tum nahi jaanti tumne kitni badi museebat mol le li hai cupcake," Armaan ne mann hi mann kaha.

THE END
