Usski Gali Mein Jaana Chorr Diya (Exclusively For XForum) COMPLETED

Update 1 Abhinav Also Known As Abhi​

Abhi aur Ruhi ek dusre se sach mein behad pyar karte the, magar kuch eisa hua ke donon ek dusre se hamesha ke liye alag ho gaye, aur aaj Abhi har ek ladki mein Ruhi ko hi dhundta hai, usski adaaein, usski bholapan, usski cuteness, usski wo kamsin dikhna, nazuk, aur komalta yehi sab dhundta rehta tha Abhi kissi bhi ladki mein. Aur haan Ruhi bahot hi khubsurat thi to Abhi koyi bahot khubsurat hi ladki ki talaash mein tha.

Alag kyun hue donon? Mamooli si baat thi. Sab gharib log the, Abhi ke pita kisaan tha, Ruhi ka pita watchman tha. Ek hi muhalle mein rehte the sab…. Magar Ruhi ke pita ki ek din lottery lag gayi. Amir ho gaya, aur khud ko bahut bada aadmi samajhne laga, Abhi ke pita usske liye bahot nicha aur chhota ho gaya tha, Ruhi ke pita ka uthna baithna ab bade amir logon mein hone laga…. Aur wo sab chorr chaar kar Canada chala gaya. Address bhi nahin diya apna aur Ruhi ko sakht mana kiya Abhi se koyi bhi contact karne ke liye…. Phir dhire dhire saalon baad Ruhi Abhi ko bilkool bhool gayi aur Canada ki lifestyle, wahan ke dost, wahan ke log, wahan ke boyfriends sab ho gaye usski…to Abhi ko delete kar diya bilkool ussne to Abhi kia karta? Ussne bhi bhula diya Ruhi ko, magar ladki ussko Ruhi jaisi hi chahiye the apne life mein.

Abhi 20 saal ka hua. Koyi dhang ki Naukri bhi nahin mil raha tha, kabhi yahan to kabhi wahan, kabhi iss company mein to kabhi temporary kaam milta kissi aur company mein…..

Gharibi ke kaaran studies complete nahin kar paaya, baap ke paas utna paisa nahin tha ussko aage padhaane ke liye…. 12th ke baad ek saal bekaar tha phir baap ke saath kheton mein jata aur phir apne dhang ki Naukri dhunta gaya…. Ussko English likhne aur bolne ka bada shaukh tha….. Ek aadat nahin chorra tha ussne wo tha padhna, reading. Bookworm tha. Englsih kitaabein bahot padhta tha, borrow karta tha padhne ke liye… class mein English mein awwal tha, hamesha sabse ziada marks paata tha class mein. To wo reading ki aadat bana raha usska. Aur haan Abhi likhta bhi tha, English mein hi. Kia likhta tha? Apna daily events likhta tha, har saal ek diary kharidta tha aur har raat ko sone se pehle usska din keise guzra wo likhta tha bina kissi din ko miss kiye. Aur ek special copybook mein usske aur Ruhi ke baare mein likh chuka tha jo apne drawer mein sambhaal kar rakha tha Abhi ne. Uss mein apne bachpan se 12th tak ke sab kuch likha tha, jiss din Ruhi ussko chorr kar Canada gayi aur usske baad ke ek saal ussne kitne dukh mein guzaare wo sab kuch likha tha ussne uss mein. Aaj bhi wo sab padh ke usske aankhon mein ensso aajata hai. Aaj bhi yaad karta hai ruhi ko kabhi kabhi, Magar Ruhi ka chehra ab kaisa hoga usski imagination mein nahin araha tha. Ek tadap, ek tees sa uthta tha usske dil mein Ruhi ke saath unn bitaaye hue dinon ko yaad karte waqt… Ussko itna to pata tha ke ab ussko Ruhi kabhi wapas nahin milega, ussko maloom tha ke Ruhi ki status ab usske saamne bahot hi ooncha ho gaya hai aur wo khud ko Ruhi ke naukar ke bhi kaabil nahin samajhta tha; iss liye Ruhi ko hamesha ke liye bhula dena hi behtar samjha Abhi ne, magar kissi aur ladki ka pyar chahiye to tha ussko, iss liye har ladki mein Ruhi ko hi dhunta phirta tha. Miley kayi ladkiyan, dosti hui, karib gaya Abhi magar ussko unn ladkiyon mein Ruhi jaisi kuch nahin dikha to kadam piche hatta liya Abhi ne….. usska talaash jaari raha phir bhi….

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

Ek din ussko ek Coach-Building ki company mein as apprentice/helper Naukri mili. Wahan ziada tar bus banaate the. Bus ki chasis nange aate the engine ke saath, usski body, cover, andar ke seat vaghaira sab bana kar bus ko complete karna hota tha. Ussi ko coach building kaha jata hai. Abhi ko wo kaam dilchasp laga. Jiss din ussne join kiya kayi buss aaye the chasis aur engine ke saath uss par body banana tha. Takriban do mahine mein ek bus complete ban jata tha. Koyi 300 log mulazim the uss company mein. Jab Abhi ne ek completed bus ko dekha to wo heyraan hua ke kaise sirf ek lohe ki chasis par ek pura bus bana diya gaya hai, wo bahot prabhaavit hua aur uss kaam ko hamesha ke liye karne ko socha…. Aur Abhi wahan kaam seekhne laga… metal kaatna, frame banana, welding karna, phir bus ki pure body ke liye aluminium sheets ko hisaab se kaat kar rivet se sab fir metals par chipkana, windows ke glasses lagaana, seat banana aur bus ke andar fit karna, buss ki floorings par thick wala aluminium chipkana special rivets se, jissko hatode se kayi baar thok thok kar chipkaya jaata tha; kuch luxurious chizon ko bhi lagana bus ki kharidne wale ki demand par, yeh sab kuch seekha Abhi ne 3 saal tak, aur ussko sab pakka karna agaya. Paisa kum mil raha tha shuru mein, mahine mein sirf 100 rupay kama raha tha. Ek to gharibi ne chaaron taraf se haath feylaya hi hua tha, kuch bhi luxurious kharidne ki aukaat nahin thi… kyunke Abhi ko laga ke uss kaam ko seekh kar wo zaroor aaguey chal kar khud sab kar paega iss liye ussne himmat ki aur 100 rupay maahwaar ki tankhwa mein kaam karta gaya, apprentice tha pehle 3 saal tak phir bhi karta gaya magar 3 saal tak hote hote ussko ek full employee ki salary milne lagi.

Unn dinon mobile ka vikaas nahin hua tha. Shukar hai varna unn dinon ek jawaan bina mobile ke kaise jeeta. Cigarette pine laga tha, doston se mil jata tha pine ke liye, tankhwa milta to kuch ghar mein deta, kuch apne liye rakhta phir bhi 100 rupay mein kia rakhta ek mahine ke liye, paise to do din mein hi khatam ho jaate the kyun ke 75 rupees ghar mein diya to 25 bachta tha usske paas aur 25 rupay ko kitne din chala paata halaan ke unn dinon sab kuch itna mehnga nahin tha jitna aaj kal hai….. unn dinon ko araam se ek mahine guzaarne ke liye at least 300 rupay hona chahiye tha…..

paidal factory ata jaata tha, ek naya pair of shoes bhi nahin kharid paata tha, baap ki kamaayi ke paise se ghar ka ration chalta tha, electricity bill, water bill vaghaira sab baap pay karta tha upar se aur bhi bhai behnein the…. Bahot tang haalaat the jinn dinon abhi jawaan tha. filmein dekhna bahot passand karta tha, har nayi movie ko first day first show dekhta tha. Unn dinon ticket itna menhga bhi nahin tha to koyi nah koyi jugaad kar leta tha apna ticket paane ke liye, kabhi dost log usski ticket kharid dete the….

Beer peene ki aadat bhi lag gayi doston ke saath, to beer bhi pine laga aur ahiste ahiste daru ki latt bhi lag gayi….magar paise ki kami ki vajah se har roz to nahin peeta tha, mahine mein ek ya do baar enjoy kar leta tha… aur kabhi kissi dost ke paas ziada paisa hota aur wo offer karta to Abhi ko bhi gale mein utaarne ka mauka mil jata tha.

Abhi ke bhi sapne the, har gharib ki tarah wo bhi sochta ke ek din mere paas bhi car hogi, bada ghar hoga, life mein aaguey badhunga, kuch kar dikhaunga, ek din mere saare sapne pure honge…. Aur sabse khaas sapna usska yeh tha ke ussko ek Ruhi jaisi mehbooba mile…. Emotional tha, dil se ziada sochta tha pyar ke baare mein, apne diary mein aksar likhta ke usske liye kahin to bani hogi ek ladki, dharti ke kissi kone mein to hogi wo dilnasheen jisska intezaar Abhi kar raha tha, magar abhi ko jaldi tha, kahan milegi wo agar wo kahin hai bhi to, kab milegi ussko wo? Kia naam hoga usska? Kaisi dikhti hogi? Kia padhi likhi hogi? Kyunke Abhi ko English bolna perfectly ata tha iss liye ussko yeh umeed thi ke uss ladki ko bhi English mein likhna aur bola ana chaahiye…. Kyunke abhi dil ki baton ko English mein bade asaani se izhaar karta tha iss liye wo hamesha sochta tha ke apne dil ki baton ko apne mehbooba tak English mein likh kar bayaan karega.

Kyunke unn dinon mobile nahin hua karta tha to, aam taur par sabhi chittiyon dwara communicate karte the. Internet ka naam o nishaan bhi nahin tha. Haan telephone tha. Television tha, aur TV serials bhi chalta tha. Magar Abhi ke ghar mein TV tha hi nahin. Padosi ke ghar TV dekhne jaate the Abhi ke ghar waale, Abhi bhi chala jaata tha jiss din usske passanjida movie ata tha TV par.

Thik jab Abhi ek employer ban gaya uss company mein aur ab usske saath helpers aur apprectice kaam karne lage, Abhi ki salary tab 2,500 rupay maahwaar ho gaya, tabhi company ko bandh hona tha!!

3 salary mil paaya Abhi ko jabse wo employer bana. Bahot khush hua, ghar mein party diya, doston ko bulaya, maa baap, bhai behnon ke liye naye kapde kharide, khud ke liye ache kapde aur joote kharide, Walkman ka zamana tha, jissmein cassete lagaa kar gaane sunte the to Abhi ne ek Walkman bhi kharida aur apne passand ki cassetes kharidta aur sunta rehta…. Pehla tankhwa mila to kariban 2,000 to spend kar diya weise hi. Dusre mahine ki salary mili to apne pita ko 2,000 rupay thama diya usske chote chote karzon ko adaa karne ke liye aur ghar chalaane ki madad ke liye. Jo bhai behen college jaate the unn sabko tagda pocket money de diya Abhi ne.

Aur teesri salary milne ke baad company ka diwala nikal gaya aur band hogaya…… yeh sab kyun aur kaise hua agle update mein dekhte hein…..

To be continued…..

Update 2 What Will Abhi Do Now?​

Aur teesri salary milne ke baad company ka dilwala nikla gaya aur band hogaya…… yeh sab kyun aur kaise hua agle update mein dekhte hein…..

Ab aaguey….

Company band iss liye hua ke jiss company ko aaj ki owners ke baap ne shuru kiya tha ab 4 bhai chala rahe the…. Charon mein tutu main main hota rehta tha company ke profits ko lekar inn mein se har ek jiada paisa chahta tha, koyi udata phirta tha paisa, sabhi ke wives the aur inn mein se kayi ke wives aise the jo bekaar mein kharch karte, desh videsh ghumne jaate, bekaar ke samaan kharidte, bade bade 5 star hotelon mein din guzaarte, high society walon ke beech waqt guzaarte, aur itna expense karte jitney ki heysiyat thi hi nahin…. Loan par loan lete gaye company ke naam par karonron mein aur bank ko pay back nahin kar paaye iss liye sab chaupath ho gaya….. company ke 300 karamchaari raaste par aagaye… kuch nahin ho paaya, seal lag gaye kaarkhaane mein aur sab apne jobs kho baithe…. Abhi bhi bekaar ho gaya….

Iss ek mahine mein abhi ne bahot enjoy kiya life ko. Har roz peena, ghumna, doston ke saath eysh karna, ache ache jagah jaana, Goa bhi chala gaya mauj masti karne, ladkiyon ko cherrna etc…

Phir takriban ek mahine tak dar dar ke thokrein khaane ke baad, Abhi ko ek din usska master milne aya. Master matlab jiss se Abhi ne company mein kaam seekha tha. usska naam tha Saeed. Saeed koyi 55 saal ka adher aadmi tha aur kyunke Abhi ne bahot jaldi kaam seekha tha aur bahot acha aur saaf kaam karta tha Saeed Abhi ko passand karta tha as a worker.

Ab hota yeh tha uss company mein ke jitney bhi bus owners the wahan se bus kharidne waale, unn logon se Saeed ki jaan pehchaan the. Wo ek bahot purana mulazim tha uss company ka to bus ke maalik log Saeed ko pehchaante the aur kabhi koyi bus ka hissa bigad jata tha to company mein marammat karne ki bajaaye weh log Saeed ke ghar jaakar uss se milte the aur bus ki marammat karne ko kehte jo saeed kar deta tha. Ab samajhlo ke uss marammat ko company mein bus lejaate to 50,000 rupay lagta, to wohi kaam Saeed bus owner ke ghar jaakar kar deta tha aur 10,000 mein kaam ho jata tha.

Iss liye ek din Saeed Abhi se milne aya aur kaha ke usske saath kaam par chalna hai. To Abhi gaya saeed ke saath aur koyi 25 kms ki doorie par ek bus owner tha jisski bus ka accident hua tha aur bus ke front side bilkool bigar gaya tha, to ussko wapas banana tha. uss kaam ke liye 20,000 manga Saeed ne aur owner daam par raazi hua aur kaam shuru hua. 20 dinon mein kaam ko pura kiya Saeed aur Abhi ne.

Saeed ne unn 20 dinon ke liye Abhi ko 5,000 diye aur apne liye 15,000 rakha.

Abbi ke liye 5,000 kaafi tha 20 dinon ke kaam ke liye aur ussne Saeed se kaha ke weise hi aur kaam dhundein to kum se kum rozi roti chalta rahega, to Saeed ne kaha dhundna to mushkil hai magar bus owners khud usske paas ayenge tabhi kaam milega.

Jab wo bus wapas kaam karne laga to baaki ke bus owners jinko pata tha uss bus ki accident hui thi aur bus bilkool bigar gaya tha saamne se, phir 20 din baad uss bus ko wapas kaam karte hue dekh kar baaki ke bus owners heyraan hue aur pucha ke kiss ne bus ki marammat itni jaldi kar diye ke lagta hi nahin ke kabhi accident hua tha. iss tarah se saeed ka naam mashoor hone laga bus owners ke darmiyaan. Ek ke munh se dusre ke kaan tak baat feylti gayi aur saeed aur Abhi kaafi mashoor ho gaye tamaam bus owners ke beech. Thik ek hafte baad ek purane bus owner ne apne bus ki marammat karne ko socha kyunke usska bus kaafi purana tha 15 saal se kuch nahin kiya tha uss bus mein aur bahot saare andar ke lohe lagbhag sadh gaye the aur jab bus chalti thi to bahot saare shor hote the aur awaazein sunaayi dete the, passengers complaints karte the. To uss owner ne Saeed se contact kiye aur ek general repair ka kaam shuru hua uss bus mein jo Abhi aur saeed ne karna shuru kiya. Kaam bahot ziada tha bus mein, chasis se lekar upar ke tamaam welded lohe kharaab ho gaye the, naye lohe kharidne the aur kaafi sara alliminium ke tin bhi puraane ho gaye the wo bhi kharidna tha, to uss mein welding ka kaam bhi tha aur alliminium ke bhi, saare bus ke seats nikaale gaye, floorings mein dobara naye rivets lagaane the, wapas seats lagaane the, paint bhi karna tha, bus ke tamaan shishe bhi utaar kar naye rubber lagana tha tin mein jiss par sheeshe chipakte hein; iss liye Abhi ke ilawa Saeed ne aur do mulazimon ko dhunda saath kaam karne ke liye.

Yeh kaam 2 mahinon tak chala. Aur daam hua 60,000 rupay jo owner ne Khushi Khushi diya kyunke ussko pata tha yehi kaam agar company ki garage mein karwata to kariban 2 laakh rupay lag sakte the. Uss mein se Abhi ko 15,000 mila. Abhi bahot khush hua. Ussko life mein pehli baar itna paisa ek saath mila tha ussko. Itna paisa ussne kabhi dekha hi nahin tha ek saath. Ghar mein baap ko ussne 10,000 thama diya. Maa baap donon behad khush hue, bhai behen sab bahot khush hue. Baap ko ab samajh mein aya ke usska beta ab kuch ban gaya hai aur ghar ko sambhaal paega usske marne ke baad.

Abhi apne doston ko nahin bhoola tha, ussne kaafi saare programns banaaye doston ke beech, jinn dinon wo mushkil mein tha, tangi chal rahi thi, unn dinon jinn doston ne usska help kiya tha financially, abhi ne unn sabhi doston ke liye party diye, khub mauj masti kiye, daru pina, picnic jaana, goa jana ladkiyon ko taadna, flirt karna vaghaira vaghaira… wohi jo har naujawaan karta hai abhi bhi bilkool weisa hi tha aur sab kuch enjoy kiya karta tha….

Do hafte tak koyi kaam nahin mila tha to unn do hafton tak Abhi har roz peeta, masti karta, movies dekhne jaata, khub ghumta, long drives par jaata etc…

Phir chhote chhote kaam mile saeed ko jo hafte bhar mein pura ho jaata, chhote marammat, kabhi front windshield badalna, kabhi kahin ke seat banana, kabhi kuch aur karna…magar har kaam karne ke liye saeed abhi ko saath zaroor lejata tha kyunke akele unn kaamon ko karna naamumkin hote the.

Weise ahiste ahiste abhi kuch nah kuch kar liya karta tha jiss se jeb mein paisa bana rehta tha. kabhi iss sheher ke bus owner se jaan pehchaan hota to kabhi door kissi sheher mein, lagbhag 10 se 15 shehron tak ghum chuke the Saeed aur Abhi bus ke marammat karte hue. Fihaal sab sahi chalne laga tha…. magar abhi ke dil mein ek khaalipan sa mehsoos hota tha…. Wo apne dil ki maalkin ki talaash mein bhi laga hua tha…

Pure do saal beet gaye company ko bandh hue, aur inn do saalon mein takriban 20 se 25 bus owners ke yahan kaam kar liye the Saeed aur Abhi ne. Donon mashoor ho gaye the as bus coach builders. Aur door door tak desh mein innke naam ho gaye the bus ke maalikon ke beech.

Abhi raat ko jab apne diary mein likhta to udaas ho jaata aur likhta ke abhi tak usski zindagi mein wo nahin aayi hai jisski usse talaash hai. Likhta ke kahin na kahin to koyi bani hogi usske liye aur wo bhi abhi ka intezaar kar rahi hogi kissi kone mein. Abhi sochta, tassavur mein khote hue kehta ke…

“Wo din kaisa hoga jab ussko pehli baar dekhunga? Wo mujhko dekh kar kaisa feel karegi? Kia mere nazron mein wo padh paegi ke main usske liye bana hoon? Kia main ussko pehchaan lunga? Aur wo? Kia wo mujhko ek nazar mein hi pehchaan legi? Haan main to ussko dekhte hi samajh jaunga ke wo mere liye bani hai…. Kia mujhko uss tak pahunchne mein mushkilein pesh ayenge? Ya sab kuch asaan se ho jaega? Bichadna to nahin padega jaise Ruhi se bichda hoon?.”

Abhi almost har raat ko yeh sab sochta, yehi kuch likhta apne diary mein, aur kabhi uss copy book ko padhta jiss mein usske aur Ruhi ke beech ka tamaam kissa likha hai ussne, wo padhkar usske aakhen nam ho jaate aur wo ruhi ko sochne lagta aur sochta ke iss waqt Ruhi kitni badi ho gayi hogi, wo kitni khubsurat lag rahi hogi. Agar aaj wo yahan hoti to wo Abhi ke baahon mein hoti…. Abhi har raat ko kuch eisa sochte hue neendh ke aagosh mein chala jata….

To be continued…..

Update 3 A new turn in Abhi’s Life​

Ek jaana maana bus owner tha Mehboob Jaan naam ka. Usske 4 buses running already the roads par. Magar usski nazar ek puraane sade hue bus par padi kahin ek jangal mein jo kissi bus owner ne dump kar diya tha. Uss par ghaans phuss, pawde bhi ug uthe the. Mehboob Jaan ne uss bus ka moaena kiya to paaya ke usski chassi bilkool mazbut aut achchah hai, magar engine tha hi nahin bus mein sirf chasis samet sada hua coach tha uss par. Mehboob jaan ne socha ke 50,000 mein ek second hand engine to mil hi jaega, chasis sahi hai to sirf coach building karna padega aur bus wapas road par chalaya jaa sakta hai.

Chasis ka number note kiya ussne aur legal matter ke liye road traffic branch walon ke contact se pata kar liya ke sab legally banaya jaa sakta hai agar wo bus ko wapas road par lana chaahe to.

To ussko ab Saeed se milna baaki tha jo ussne kiya. Saeed ko lekar wo bus dikhaane legaya. Uss bus mein kaam wohi karna tha jo bilkool ek naye bus mein kiya jaata hai shuru se ant tak. Matlab chasis se shuru karna hoga aur end tak coach building karni hogi. Eise kaam ke liye garage mein 20 laakh rupay lag jata hai. Aur agar naye bus par coach building karna hota hai tab 40 se 50 laakh lagta hai. Yeh sab Mehboob ko bhi pata tha aur Saeed ko bhi. Mehboob ne Saeed se pucha ke kitne ki material takreeban kharidne padenge? Aur bus ko pura banaane mein kitna time lagega?

Saeed ke dimaagh mein kayi batein chal rahe thee uss waqt. Wo soch raha tha garage ke hisaab se kitna paisa lagta mehbob ko aur ab saeed garage wala kaam pura karne wala tha to kitna paisa lena chahiye ussko Mehboob se ek pura bus ki coach banaane ke liye. Saeed ne socha ke Abhi se milkar decision lena padega ussko, to ussne Mehboob se kaha,

“Mujhe apne workers se baat karna hoga pehle, yeh unn ke haath mein hein ke kitne dinon mein kaam pura ho sakta hai aur materials ke liye ek quotation banwa kar dunga aap ko, bahot saare sheets of alluminium kharidne honge, bahot metals kharidne honge pura frame ke liye aur bus ke tamaam seats ke liye alag se metals lene honge aur saare seats bhi banana hein, tamaam shishe bus ke kharidne hein….sab kuch from zero start karna hai….. upar se saare rivets, floorings, ceilings ke pannels, sides ke frames, sab kuch shuru se start karna hai bilkool jaise ek naya bus banta hai weise karna hai….”

Mehboob ne kaha ke wo sab karne ko tayyaar hai ussko wo bus wapas road par chahiye hi chahiye!

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

Saeed jaakar Abhi se mila aur ussko lekar uss jangal mein bus dikhaane legaya aur donon milkar discuss karne lage ke kitna cost hoga saare meterials ka aur kitna paisa lena padega Mehboob se bus ko road par laane ke liye aur kitne dinon mein kaamm pura ho sakta hai.

Saeed aur Abhi phir usske ghar par mile aur kagaz kalam lekar baithe donon sab kuch likhne ke liye.

Saare materials ko soch soch kar likha gaya ek ek karke, sab yaad karte hue ke bus ki coach banaane ke liye kia kia istemaal hota hai, ek kil se lekar alliminium sheets tak sab kuch likha gaya aur daam ek kone mein note kiya gaya.

Ek pura quotation tayaar kiya abhi ne. kyunke wo padha likha tha to iss liye Saeed ne Abhi par count kiya wo sab tayyaar karne ke liye. Sab kuch kalam aur kaagaz par kiya gaya computer to tha nahin tab.

Usske baad ab donon ne discuss kiye ke kitna paisa lena hoga Mehboob se uss kaam ke liye. Saeed aur Abhi ne milkar discuss kiya ke company ki garage mein to uss kaam ke liye kum se kum do ya teen laakh liye jaate aur 3 mahinon mein kaam pura kiya jaata…. To baat yeh hui ke garage mein aur bhi kayi mulaazim kaam karte tab 3 mahinon mein kaam pura hota, yahan to 4 mulazim hein to ziada din to lagenge hi…… 6 mahine socha donon ne… phir socha ke Mehboob ko 6 mahine bahot ziada lagenge, to 4 se 5 mahine kehne ko socha donon ne. Tab baat aayi paise ki, labour ki, matlan mazdoori ki….. Saeed ne kaha ke 75,000 mangega. Aur kaha ke wo 50,000 lega aur Abhi ko 25,000 dega.

Abhi ne kaha,

“75,000? Aap paagal ho kia saeed ji? 3 laakh ka kaam aap 75 hazaar rupay mein karoge? Aur do workers ke bhi payment karne honge to keise mujhko 25 aur aap 50 loge unn mein se? Main kehta hoon do laakh mangna hai Mehboob ji se iss kaam ke liye.”

Abhi door ka sochta tha. Saeed ji ke liye 75 hazaar bahot bada rakam tha iss liye ussko ziada maangna ajeeb lag raha tha, magar Abhi ko pata tha ke Mehboob ji agar garage ko 3 laakh ki payment kar sakte hein to 2 laakh to de paega iss kaam ke liye. To Saeed ji ne kaha,

“Dekho Abhi, mujh mein himmat nahin hai Mehboob ji se itna bada rakam maangne ki, ek kaam karte hein, tum mere saath chalo, main tumko apne assistant kehkar milwaunga uss se aur tum price discuss karna unnke saath dekhte hein kia hota hai.”

Abhi maan gaya. Aur donon mile Mehboob ji ke ghar par. Abhi ne quotation de diya Mehboob ji ko. Derr laakh ki materials kharidne the Mehboob ji ko. Tab ussne Saeed ji se pucha ke kitna lenge iss kaam ke liye aur kitne dinon mein kaam pura hoga. To Saeed ne Mehboob se kaha,

“Ussi se puchiye nah janaab, yeh Abhi hai nah wohi sab accounting karta hai. Wo sahi figures dega aap ko.”

Mehboob ke yahan aane se pehle to baat 2 laakh ki hui thi magar yahan Abhi ne Mehboob se 3 laakh ki farmaayish kiye! Saeed ji ko jhatka laga 3 laakh sunkar! Magar Mehboob ji ne abhi se pucha,

“3 laakh kuch ziada nahin hai barkhurdaar? Garage mein bhi to utna hi lagta nah?”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Kia aap ke yahan garage hai janaab? Ya aap ke yahan hum khule hawa mein kaam karenge, dhoop mein tapte hue saare kaam karne honge, inn sab ko khayal mein rakhte hue hi nah humne sab kuch socha hai? Aur phir do aur mulaazim honge hamaare saath, unnke bhi to payments karne honge, travellings ka bhi socha hai humne saare mulazim ke travelling ka khayal bhi to karna padta hai nah?”

Mehboob ji ne muskuraate hue wapas Saeed ji ko dekha aur kaha,

“Are saeed bhai aap to apne finance manager ko lekar saath aaye ho ya yeh aap ka HR hai?!” aur wo hanss pade.

Mehboob ji ne 3 laakh ko Manzoor kiya jiss se Saeed ji ko zabardast jhatka laga, ussne to sapne mein bhi nahin socha tha ke life mein kabhi kissi se 3 laakh maangega kaam karne ke liye.

Saeed chup chaap baitha raha aur Abhi ko sab deal pura karne diya.

Mehboob ji ne pucha ke kitne dinon mein kaam pura hoga. Abhi ne kaha 5 se 6 mahine to lag jaega, aur Mehboob ji ko mechanics wale kaam alag se karwane honge engine ko lekar aur paintings bhi alag se wo karwaega apne taraf se.

Mehboob ji raazi hue aur pucha ke payment kaise karega sab ek saath kaam pura hone ke baad ya advance payment chahiye?

Bina Saeed ko dekhe ya puche Abhi ne kaha,

“Agar aap 1 laakh de dete hamein kaam shuru hone se pehle to hamaare liye asaan hota baaki ke mulazimon ki payment karne ke liye kyunke unn logon ko weekly payment karte hein hum.”

Saeed ji ko ek aur jhatka laga abhi ki baat ko sunkar. Ussne to life mein kabhi 1 lakh rupay nah liya tha nah dekha tha. Aur 22 saal ki umar ka Abhi 1 lakh rupay maang raha tha ek bus owner se, wo bhi advance aur 2 lakh kaam pura hone ke baad milne wala tha….. Saeed soch raha tha ke sala ussne to 75 hazaar pura kaam ke liye maangne wala tha! aur yahan abhi advance 1 lakh mang raha hai aur Mehboob dene ko tayyaar tha!

Mehboob ji ne ek cheque kata 1 laakh rupay ki aur Abhi ko thama diya Saeed ko dekhte hue. Phir pucha ke kaam shuru kab hoga. To Abhi ne kaha kaam kal se hi shuru hoga, bus ko tow kiya jaega unnke aangan mein aaj hi.

Wahan se nikle to Saeed ne abhi se kaha,

“kamaal karte ho tum abhi? Sala 2 laakh ki baat hui thi aur tumne 3 laakh mang liya?”

Abhi ne zor se hansste hue kaha,

“Yeh ek laakh mera apna kamaayi hai saeed ji. Iss mein se main aap ko kuch nahin dene wala” aur zoron se hanssta gaya. Saeed ji khamosh rahe.

Kuch der baad Abhi ne pucha,

“yeh cheque aap apne account mein debit karoge ya main apne account mein daal dun?”

Saeed ne kaha,

“are beta mera to aaj tak koyi bank account hai hi nahin! To tumhi dalo apne account mein nah!”

Uss din life mein pehli baar Abhi ki bank account mein 1 lakh rupay deposit kiya gaya! Jiss bande ko 10 rupay ke liye tarasna padta tha, ek cigarette pine ke liye doston se maangna padta tha aaj 1 lakh rupay deposit kiya gaya usske account mein ussko khud yakeen nahin ho raha tha!

Shaam ko bus tow kiya gaya aur Mehboob ji ke aangan mein ek bade se peyr ke niche rakha gaya. Saeed aur Abhi wahin maujood the. Bus ko dekh kar log hanss rahe the. Pados ke log aakar bus ko dekhne lage jiss par ghanns phuss uge hue the, itna mayla tha, ganda tha, gande hare rang ke paani kayi jaga jama hua tha bus mein, jo ek do sheeshe bache hue the sab dark green gande iss kadar dikh rahe the ke ghin araha tha… kuch log Mehboob ji ko paagal keh rahe the ke ek sade hue bus ko jangal se uthakar apne aanagn mein laa rakha tha….

Abhi sun raha tha sabhi ke comments ko aur apne dil mein kaha,

“saalo, teen mahine baad tumhi log taarif karne aoge iss bus ki….”

Aur yahan par shuru hoti hai Abhi ki Romantic kahani… Abhi ne achanak kissi mahila ki awaaz ko kuch yun phukaarte hue suna;

“Ari oh Ruhi kia kar rahi hai aa dekh tere Mehboob chacha ne kia laya hai aangan mein!”

Update 4 Ruhi Comes in Abhi’s Life Once More​

“saalo, teen mahine baad tumhi log taarif karne aoge iss bus ki….”

Aur yahan par shuru hoti hai Abhi ki Romantic kahani… Abhi ne achanak kissi mahila ki awaaz ko kuch yun phukaarte hue suna;

“Ari oh Ruhi kia kar rahi hai aa dekh tere Mehboob chacha ne kia laya hai aangan mein!”

Ab aaguey….

Jab Abhi ne kissi ko Ruhi naam phukaarte suna to usska dil zoron se dhadka, usska chehra thoda sa laal hua aur usski nazar bus se hatkar uss awr dekhne laga jahan se ussne uss awaaz ko Ruhi naam phukaarte hue suna…. Ussko aisa feel hua ke ussko saans lene mein takliff hone laga tha uss pal ko, mushkil se ek lamba saans liya aur aankhon ko wahin jamaaye rakha iss intezaar mein ke koyi Ruhi naam wali udhar aaye….. tab ek oonche stair par khadi ek aurat ko dekha Abhi ne; aur andaza lagaya ke ussi aurat ne Ruhi ke naam ko phukara, aur sochne laga kia yeh uss Ruhi naam wali ladki ki maa hogi kia? Apni beti ko bus dekhne ke liye bula rahi hogi? To kia bus owner Mehboob uss Ruhi ka chacha hai? Matlab yahan Ruhi ek muslim girl hai, magar Abhi wala Ruhi to hindu thi…. Phir bhi dharm aur jaat ko bhool kar iss pal ko Abhi ne yeh dekhna chaha ke yeh Ruhi kaisi hogi? Khubsurat hogi aur apni Ruhi ki tarah adaon ki maalkin hogi? Chanchal hogi? Modern hogi, ya gharelu hogi? English bolna ata hoga? Padhi likhi hogi? Usski umar kia hogi? Kahin koyi bachi to nahin hogi? Aur agar shaadi shuda already hogi to? Usski baal keise honge, apni Ruhi jaisi hogi? Aur sabse pyare 2 chiz jo Abhi apni Ruhi mein ziada passand karta tha wo the usski muskurahat, aur usski meethi awaaz, to kia iss Ruhi ki bhi weisi muskurahat aur awaaz hogi kia?

Abhi ka dhyaan ab bus par bilkool nahin tha. Wo to wahan nazrein gadaaye khada tha jahan se yeh nayi Ruhi aane wali thi. Saeed ji ne Abhi se pucha,

“kia khayal hai, kaam kitne dinon tak chalega?!”

Abhi ne Saeed ji ko suna hi nahin, usska dhyaan to kahin aur hi tha uss waqt. Saeed ji ne tab Abhi ke chehre mein dekha, phir usski nazron ko follow karte hue saeed ji ne bhi wahan dekha jahan abhi ke nazrein thehre hue the aur ek aurat ko dekha khada hokar unn donon ke taraf bus ko dekhte hue. Faasla koyi 3 metres ke the jiss jagah bus tha aur jahan wo aurat khadi thi.

Saeed ji ne Abhi ki kehuni ko apne kehuni se takraate hue kaha,

“kyun miyan auraton ko taadne lage aate hi?”

Tab Abhi ka dhyaan wapas wahan aaya aur chahunkte hue kaha,

“nahin bhai main buss aise hi….. kuch soch raha tha….”

Aur tabhi uss aurat ne phir kaha,

“Ari Ruhi aah nah dekh to!”

Aur andar se awaaz aayi jissko Abhi ne bade dhyaan se suna,

“ofo maa, tum bhi nah, yeh chulhe par tarkaari kaun dekhega agar main tumhaare paas aa khadi hui to? Sab jal jaega yahan, dekh nahin rahi main paka rahi hoon!”

Abhi ke dil ka dhadakna jaise ruk sa gaya uss awaaz ko sunkar, jitni meethaas aur komalta uss awaaz mein suna Abhi ne, aur jiss adaa se uss ladki ki awaaz suna Abhi ne, wo machal gaya ab usski ek jhalak dekhne ke liye. Magar usske samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kaise ussko dekhein….

Abhi dil hi dil mein praathna karne laga ke wo ladki at least ek baar apni maa ki baat maan le aur ek baar bus ko dekhne aajaaye….

Tab tak Saeed ji ne phir Abhi se pucha ke kitne dinon mein kaam pura ho sakta hai. Abhi ko dar tha ke kahin idhar udhar dekhte waqt wo ladki aakar wapas bhi nah chali jaaye to usski nazrein wahi jami rahe aur Saeed ko jawaab diya jaise hawa mein baat kar raha tha, “PATA NAHIN BAI!”

Ab to Abhi yeh chahne laga ke yahan ka kaam kabhi khatam hi nah ho, kyunke usska yahan kaam karne ka ek aur maksad mil gaya tha….

Abhi tarapne laga ussko dekhne ke liye, kaash wo ladki ek baar apni maa ke paas aakar khadi ho jaati, eisa soch raha tha abhi, aur achaanak uss aurat ne mehboob ji se kuch kaha jo sunaayi nahin diya Abhi ko, magar abhi unn donon ko hi dekh raha tha tab tak Saeed ji buss ke dusre taraf chale gaye the moaena karne bus ki. Aur abhi ki nazar wahi tikke hue the uss stair par, aur ladki ki maa ne phir se kaha,

“Ruhi aakar dekh to sahi nah!”

Aur andar se awaaz aayi,

“uff aati hoon wait karo, karhaayi ko utaar to doon!”

Jiss stair par wo aurat khadi thi wo kitchen mein daakhil hone wali stairs the. Uss makaan ka aakhri hissa tha aur jahan bus tha uss garden ki saamne wale hisse ke bilkool nazdeek tha. bus left hand side mein tha aur wo ghar right hand side mein tha. Chalo ek plan bana deta hoon taake aap sab ko samajh mein ajaaye sab kaisa tha wahan….

Ruhis-house-plan.jpg

To yeh raha plan. Bus ek badi si darkhat ke niche tha jiss se aadha din chaon hota tha bus ke niche, baad mein kada dhoop mein kaam karna padta tha. Jahan Ruhi ki kitchen hai wahan ek jagah stair likha hua hai wahin par usski maa khadi dekh rahi thi aur Abhi jahan tap one likha hai wahan opposite bus ke paas khada uss stairs ke taraf dekh raha tha ke kab Ruhi naami ladki saamne dikhe ussko. Bus ka front side Mehboob ke ghar ke taraf tha aur back side Ruhi ke cousin ke ghar ke taraf. Bus ki right side Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf, balke tap 1 aur tap 2 jahan Ruhi kapde dhoti hai, uss taraf tha. Aur Mehboob ke ghar ke piche washroom tha jahan fresh hona jata tha, kapde change karte the workers aur toilet bhi wahin the. Mehboob aur Ruhi ke ghar ke beech ka jo space tha wahan ziada tar kaam kiya jaata tha jaise, alliminium sheets ka kaatna, measurements lena, aur bahot saare lohe ka samaan rakha gaya tha aur kuch kaam karne ka samaan add hota gaya din ba din. Matlab jab bhi Abhi uss space mein hota to Ruhi ke ghar ke ziada kareeb hota. Bus se Ruhi ka ghar ka fasla buss der metre ka tha, usski kitchen, aur stairs 2 metres ki doori par the.

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

Abhi besabri se wait karta raha ke kab wo Ruhi naam wali ladki stairs par aaye taake wo ussko dekh sake, usski awaaz to sun liya tha aur bekaraar tha ussko dekhne ke liye. Usski awaaz se Abhi ko samajh mein aaya; ya yun kahen ke uss patli, narm awaaz se andaza lagaya jaa sakta tha ke uss awaaz ki maalkin kaisi dikhti hogi. Matlab Abhi ne apne dimaagh mein seikron tasvirein bana liye the usski, apne tassavur mein iss Ruhi ki tasveer ko utaar liya tha ussne ab intezaar tha ussko dekhne ko aur natija kia niklega isska wait kar raha tha Abhi.

Abhi ko laga ek bahot khubsurat, naazuk, kamsin si ladki hogi, yeh usski awaaz se pehchana ya andaza lagaya tha Abhi ne… usski bekaraari badhne lagi thi aur mann mein hulchal paida ho gaye the, bechain ho raha tha Abhi usski ek jhalak dekhne ke liye.

Abhi ka Ruhi naam se gehra Rishta tha yeh sirf Abhi ko pata tha aur kissi ko bhi nahin uss waqt. Iss Ruhi naam se usska kia naata raha hai pichle kayi saalon se, kia ehmiyat thi usskki life mein Ruhi naam ka kissi ko kia pata tha usske siwa. Aur abhi sochne laga ke kismat kia khel khel raha tha usske saath ke ussi naam ki ladki se phir milwa raha tha ussko, aisa kyun tha? Kia yeh wala Ruhi Abhi ki life mein khushian laegi? Kia Abhi ki life mein jo kami hai wo ab puri hogi? Jo khaalipan abhi ko aaj tak apne viraan dil ke andar mehsoos ho rahi thi wo ab gulzaar hone wala tha?

Abhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue uss kitchen ki stair par apne nazron ko jamaaye rakha…. Aur ussko ek nili dress nazar aayi kitchen ke darwaze ke paas, dress uss ladki ki maa ki dress ko chhuh rahe the, magar dress pehnne wali nazar nahin arahi thi, phir ladki ki ek tang dikhi abhi ko, dress usski ghutnon tak thi, hawa se dress lehra rahi thi….

Abhi dil hi dil mein sochne laga kia kar rahi hai, kyun dikh nahin rahi hai, usska chehra kidhar chhupi hui hai?! Phir abhi ne ghaur se dekha to samjha ke ladki khule hue darwaze aur deewaar ke beech se bus ke taraf dekh rahi thi; Wo jab ek darwaza full khula hota hai aur khul kar deewaar se chipak jaati hai phir uss khule hue hisse aur deewaar ke beech ke hisse se baahar dekha jaa sakta hai nah? Ruhi ussi hisse se bus ko dekh rahi thi..….

Usska gora chehra aur ek aankh dikha Abhi ko, aur Abhi ka dil bade zoron se dhadakne laga… Ruhi apni maa se dhire dhire baat kar rahi thi yeh maa ki response se samajh mein araha tha…. bus ke taraf dekhte hue donon maa beti baatein kar rahe the, Abhi pray karne laga ke kaash wo ladki stair par ek baar aajaati to Abhi usskko pura dekh paata….

Mehboob apne ghar se nikla to ladki ki maa ne Mehboob se zor se kaha,

”Yeh kia gandagi khada kar diya aap ne aangan mein? Kitna ganda aur sada hua bus hai, aap kia karoge iss sade hue gande lohe se?!”

Apni maa ki baat sunkar wo ladki khilkhila kar hanssi. Abhi ne sab suna aur usski taraf dekhta raha. Aur ladki ne kuch ahiste se kaha apni maa ko jaise daantte hue. Abhi ke samajh mein aya ke ladki ne apni maa se kaha ke bus ki marammat karne wale log sab sun rahe hein, unnko acha nahin lagega….

Aur aakhir mein buss ek pal ke liye, koyi 2 seconds ke liye ladki stair par aayi, wo bhi jaise khud ko ek tang par sambhalte hue jaise stair par ana nahin chahti thi magar ek peyr fissal gayi iss liye majbooran ana pada, phir turant wapas piche chali gayi aur ussi darwaze aur deeewar ke beech se dekhne lagi.

Jiss pal wo nikli thi stair par Abhi ne bahot kuch dekha, aur uss par kia beeta, kia feel hua, kaise sambhala ussne khud ko yeh bayaan karna mushkil hai. Abhi ki nazrein tike rahe uss ek pal ke liye unn stairs par aur ussko to laga ke ek ghante bhar dekh liya uss ladki ko. Usske baal khule hue the jo hawa se lehra rahe the, kaale ghane baal, aur baal bhi bilkool weisi jaisi Abhi ko passand tha aur jaise baal usski Ruhi ke the, uss ladki ka rang bhi bilkool usski apni Ruhi ka rang tha, bilkool gori thi, chehra maan lo chand ka ek tudka dikh gaya Abhi ko, usski dress ek midi type thi, jo usski ghuton ko dhanke hue the, par talwe se thoda upar usski gori tang dikhe Abhi ko aur usski baazuwon par bhi nigahein pade the Abhi ke… Abhi ne khud se kaha,

“Haan komal dikhi mujhe wo, kamseen bhi hai, naazuk bhi lagi….”

Aur chehra? Muskurahat? Aankhen? Inn sab ko dekhne ka mauka hi nahin mila sahi se abhi ko, kyunke tab tak wo wapas chhup gayi thi…sirf ek jhalak dikha tha buss….. Abhi ne mann mein bassa liya ussko ussi pal…..

Uss din wahan se ghar lautne ke baad Abhi ne apni diary mein likha ke muddat baad aaj ussko apni Ruhi ki jhalak dikhi kissi mein, aur taahjub ki baat yeh thi ke ladki ka naam bhi Ruhi hi tha.

Update 5 The First Day of Work​

Raat ko Abhi thik se so nahin paaya. Sirf uss ladki ko sochta raha, sapne mein ussko dekha bhi jab bhi zara si aankh lagi to. Ussko jaldi tha wahan wapas jaane ki aur wahan kaam shuru karne ki. Sochta raha kaam karega ya din bhar uss ladki ko dekhta rahega. Kia ladki ghar par rahegi har roz? Kia wo college jaati hogi? Ya kahin koyi kaam karti hogi? Yeh sab soch raha tha Abhi aur khud ko tassalli dete hue kaha ke agar kahin bhi jaati hogi subha aur shaam ko ek dusre ko dekh to payenge…. Abhi sochne laga ki wo uss se baat kar paega? Kaise baat shuru karega? Kia kahega uss se? Aur agar ladki ne baat nahin kiya to? Agar ussne Abhi ko jawaab nahin diya to? Thoda sharmilee type lagi thi uss waqt, to kia Abhi ke saamne aaegi bhi? Yeh sab sochta raha Abhi raat bhar. Apni diary mein bahot kuch likha. Diary one day page tha ussne 5 pages likh diya, matlab agle 4 din ke pages bhi bhar diye aaj ki events ko likh kar, to socha ek naya thick cover ka copy book kharidna hoga sirf inn dinon ko likhne ke liye, jab tak wo wahan kaam karega, uss copy book mein sirf wahan ke events ko likhega.

Subha mamool se bahot pehle uth gaya Abhi aur tayyaar hokar nikla kaam par jaane ke liye. Bus se safar karna tha, ghar se 40 kms ki doorie par thi wo jagah jahan Mehboob ka ghar tha. kaam karne ke liye puarane kapde ek bag mein liya hua tha, aur ek dusre bag mein kaam karne wale kuch auzaar the, aur of course khana bhi tha ek bag mein.

Subha 6.30 ko uss jagah ko reach hua abhi, Saeed bhai aur baaki ke 2 workers bhi aaye thik usske piche.

Bus stop se utar kar marammat karne wale bus tak pahunchne mein koyi 5 minat lagta tha, aur jab uss aangan mein daakhil hua abhi to usski nazar seedhe uss kitchen wale stairs par pahunche, bus par nahin. Chalte waqt bus tak reach hone ke liye abhi ki nazrein idhar udhar dekhta gaya, right mein jo ghar hai matlab jiss ghar mein wo ladki rehti hai, uss ghar ka saamne wale hisse ko ghaur se dekha abhi ne, jo pehla tap tha wahan dekha phir nazron ko uss taraf kiya jahan tap number 2 tha aur ek washing stone bhi tha uss dusre nal ke paas. Aur akhir mein uss jagah pahuncha jahan washroom tha. Aur ab wo washroom to direct uss kitchen ke opposite tha jahan kal Ruhi nazar ayi thi, uss washroom se kitchen ke andar nazar araha tha. Abhi ne ghaur se andar dekha. Koyi bhi nahin tha. Abhi ne sochna shuru kiya ke kal issi kitchen mein wo ladki paka rahi thi jiss waqt usski maa ussko awaaz de rahi thi……. Abhi ne ek vision kiya jo flashback ki tarah usske aankhon ke saamne aaye….

Ussne dekha ke ussi neeli dress mein ladki apni stove ke paas karhaayi mein kuch pakaa rahi hai aur Abhi ussko dekh rahi hai phir Abhi uss se ishaare se baat kar raha hai…..

Vision khatam hone ke baad Abhi ne socha kia aisa kabhi hoga bhi? Kia yeh mumkin hai? 4 se 6 mahinon tak yahin kaam karna hai kuch to baat aaguey badhegi zaroor….. Ek ajeeb si feeling ho raha tha abhi ko, uss kitchen ke andar dekhte hue, soch raha tha jaise usski maa pakaati hai kitchen mein weise hi ladki bhi kal paka rahi thi, ussko pakana ata hai, kia kabi kuch paka kar khilaegi Abhi ko? Wo sochne laga Abhi, usske haath ka paka hua kaisa lagega? Swadisht hoga? Abhi ussko kitchen stove ke paas dekhna chahta tha, ussko pakaate hue dekhna chahta tha, usska dil kar raha tha ke wo ladki wahan aaye aur Abhi usske paas jaakar ussko piche se jakre aur uss se pyar kare…. Aise feelings aa rahe the abhi ke dil mein kapde change karte waqt… ye sab sochte hue Abhi ne apne kapde badle, kaam karne wala purana kapda pehna aur baaki ke logon ne bhi wohi kiya aur sab bus ke paas ekatha hue. Saeed bhai ne Abhi se pucha,

“kaise start karna hai?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“sabse pehle Mehboob bhai se kaho, ek lamba hose chahiye bus ko dhona hai pehle tab todna hai, saare sade hue tin, loha, shisha, andar ke tute hue seats sab nikaalna hai, bus ko sirf chasis mein dikhna hai ab….”

Wohi kiya gaya…. Oonchi awaaz mein sab baat kar rahe the, ke yeh karo, wahan paani dalo, aisa karo, veisa karo, yahan mat aao, wahan jao etc….

Abhi baar baar uss ghar ke taraf dekhe jaa raha tha kaam karte hue, soch raha tha kia wo abhi tak so rahi hogi? Ussko dekhne ka bada mann tha abhi ko, magar wo bilkool nazar nahin arahi thi.

Kia wo kaam par chali gayi hogi? Kia college gayi hogi? Ya university ki student hogi? Usski maa kayi baar nazar aayi. Mehboob bhi kayi baar aaye, sabse baat kiye, Mehboob ki biwi, Rahima bhi aayi, chai dene aayi sabko phir wapas chali bhi gayi magar wo ladki nahin dikhi thi Abhi ko din ke barah bajne ko tha. Bus ko nanga kar diya gaya tha, sirf bus ki chasis nazar arahe the apne 6 wheels par.

Lunch time aya to Abhi gaya apne bag se khana lene ke liye washroom ke paas bag taanga hua tha jiss mein usske khaane ke chizein the; wahan jaate waqt bhi Abhi uss kitchen mein jhaanka aur ladki ki maa nazar aayi bartan maanjte hue sink ke paas, to jhat se abhi ne nazar hatta liya…. Bus ke andar baith kar sab khaane chale. Khaate waqt bhi Abhi baar baar uss ghar ek taraf dekh raha tha…. aur achanak ussne uss ladki ko Mehboob ke ghar se nikal kar apni kitchen ke taraf jaate hue dekha, aaj ek laal dress mein thi, baal khule hue the, ek nazar ussne bus ke taraf dekha aur apni kitchen mein chali gayi…. Abhi ne khud ko kossa ke kyun ussne ladki ko uss waqt nahin dekha jiss waqt wo apni kitchen se nikal kar Mehboob ke ghar Rahima se milne gayi thi… pata nahin kitne time se wo Mehboob ki biwi se baat kar rahi thi aur Abhi ko kuch pata hi nahin chala…..

Khaane ke baad sab main road par gaye tehelte hue cigarette kharidne. 45 mins ka lunch break liye the sabne. Yeh normal tha kahin bhi kaam karte to 45 mins lete the sab.

Jab cigarette pite hue wapas daakhil hue uss aangan mein to Abhi ne laal dress wali ladki ko ussi kitchen ki stairs par dekha jahan kal usski maa khadi thi. Magar main road se jiss jagah par wo khadi thi kaafi door tha to Abhi ko wo door dikhi aur Abhi chahta tha ke jab wo bus ke paas aaye to wo wahin khadi rahe taake ussko paas se dekh sake, magar jaise jaise weh log bus ke karib hote gaye ladki wapas apne kitchen mein chali gayi. Abhi shuru mein bahot khush hua ussko wahan khadi dekh kar, wo bus ko hi dekh rahi thi, aur ek baar raaste par dekha Abhi ke taraf, magar jab a
Abhi usski cousin ke ghar ke paas reach hua to Ruhi wapas ghuss gayi. Tab Abhi udaas hogaya aur pray karta raha ke wo wapas stairs par aaye.

Kaam shuru hua, ab saare puraane tin ko nikala jaa raha tha bus se, sade hue lohe ko kata jaa raha tha, hatode aur baaki auzaar se. bahot shor ho rahe the thaak thok, thik thaak ke awaazein bahot sunaayi de rahe the aur a
Abhi ne socha kia pata ke ladki thoda sone gayi hogi to nahin so paaegi unn logon ke shor karne ki vajah se…. do pahar mein bahot saare log thoda sote hein khaane ke baad, jab a
Abhi ghar par rehta tha to yeh usski aadat thi, to ussne socha shayad wo ladki aur usski maa ke bhi weise aadat ho….

Karib 3 baje muhalle ke bahot saare log aaye dekhne Abhi aur team ko kaam karte hue, khaas kar school ke bache log. Unn mein se ek ladka Ruii ka chota bhai tha jo 10th mein tha. wo to abhi ke bilkool paas aake khada ho gaya aur baat karne laga. Abhi ne pucha ke kaun hai kidhar rehta hai kia karta hai vaghaira aur jab ladke ne kaha ke wahin rehta hai to Abhi ko pata chala ke uss ladki ka chota bhai hai. Usska naam pucha tab ahbi ko Khushi hui kyunke ussko pata chala ke yeh Ruhi bhi hindu hi hai kyunke bhai ka naam Mahesh tha. phir Abhi ne pucha ke Mehboob ko chacha kehte hein sab to ussne socha ke Mehboob usske pita ka bhai hai to Mahesh ne kaha,

“hum Mehboob chacha ko ‘chacha’ iss liye bulaate hein kyunke mummy ne kaha ussko weisa bulaane ke liye”

Aur ek baar Ruhi stair par aayi Mahesh ko bulaane ke liye aur yun kaha bus ke taraf Mahesh ko dekhte hue,

“hey Mahesh chai nahin piyega kia? Main ne serve kar diya aakar pile mujhe sab saaf karna hai jaldi aah nah!”

Jiss waqt Ruhi wo sab keh rahi thi Abhi usski chehre mein dekh raha tha, aur Ruhi ne Mahesh ko dekhte hue wo sab kaha tha magar ek do baar usski nazrein Abhi par bhi gayi…. Abhi ne bahot achi tarah se usski nazron ko follow kiya tha.

Abhi ko behad passand aya usska uss tarah se usske taraf dekhna. Usski nazron mein ek komalta dikha Abhi ko, usski awaaz kitni mithi thi, usski muskurahat jaan lewa laga Abhi ko, usski awaaz aur ziada sunne ko mann kiya Abhi ko to ussne Mahesh se kaha,

“chai pine ke baad wapas ana thoda baatein karenge.”

Mahesh ne kaha,

“haan wapas ata hoon, mujhe dekhna hai tum log kaise issko bus banaate ho!”

Shaam ko 4 baje to aur kuch log aagaye aangan mein. Log bhade hue the uss jagah. Kabhi kissi ne bus ko bante hue nahin dekha tha, magar abhi to bus ko ujara jaa raha tha, nanga kiya jaa raha tha…. aas paas ke log jo apne apne kaam se wapas agaye the chale aaye the Mehboob ke bus ko dekhne ke liye… aur tab tak bus ko almost nanga kiya jaa chuka tha…. jab bus aya tha to kuch aisa dikh raha tha aangan mein kal

Jangal mein tha to aisa tha

OLd-bus2.jpg

Aur ab sab tor phor ke baad shaam ko 4 baje bus sirf chasis par tha aur yeh dikh raha tha

bus-chasis.jpg

Ab iss par frame banaya jaega din ba din kaam hoga bus ki frame weld karne ke baad alliminium sheets rivets se chipana hoga, sheets ko measurement se kaatna padega etc….

Shaam ke karib paanch baje jab washroom jaana tha sabko to ek baar aur Ruhi ki maa stairs par dikhi aur usski awaaz yun aayi,

“Ruhi aa dekh nah bus kaise bilkool khali ho gayi hai…”

Abhi ne socha ussko ab jaldi se washroom jaana chahiye aur udhar se wo Ruhi ko kitchen mein dekh paega. To jaldi se wo nikla….. usske kapde bilkool maile ho gaye the, chehre par bhi jagah jagah par gandh lage hue the, khud ko wash karna tha wo nahin chahta tha ke Ruhi ussko weisa dekhe…..

Abhi weise handsome ladka tha, gora rang, 6.

2 feet/1m85 ooncha, kayi log ussko ‘lambu’ bhi bulaate the; usska ek strong personality tha, jaldi se log usske dost ban jaate the aur wo ek centre of attraction tha khud mein hi, log usske taraf nazar karte hi the kissi tarah se bhi, usski oochaayi ki vajah se kuch log ussko dekhte the to kuch log usski personality ki vajah se, to baat yeh hui ke Ruhi ki maa Abhi ko hi dekh rahi thi jab wo washroom ke taraf jaane lage to aur iss se pehle ke wo washroom pahunchta khud Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kuch kaha…. Kuch log jawaan 22 saal ke ladke se baat karna passand karte hein, kabhi tang khinchaayi karte hein to kabhi umar wale log jawaan logon se buss baat iss liye karte hein ke dekhein wo jawaan kitna kaabil hai….. aur kuch log khud ko jawaanon se dosti karne ke liye baatein karte hein, aur kuch log to jawaanon se akarshit hokar hi baat karte hein….

Abhi ko rukna pada ussko jawaab dene ke liye aur kitchen ke andar se Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein ek muskaan se dekh rahi thi ke usski maa uss se baat kar rahi hai….

Abhi to khud ko saaf suthra karke Ruhi ke saamne pesh hona chahta tha magar usski maa ne Abhi ko ussi haalat mein rok liya to Abhi ko acha nahin laga magar kaise mana karta uss aurat ne baat kiya to jawaab to dena tha iss liye majbooran ussko rukna pada aur Ruhi ki maa ne muskuraate hue pucha tha,

“kitne dinon mein bus ban jaega?!”

Abhi ne bhi muskuraate hue jawaab diya magar Ruhi ko dekhte hue usski maa ko nahin,

“bahot bada kaam hai yeh, shuruwaat se sab kuch karna padega wo bhi haath se, koyi bhi garage wala machine nahin hai to ziada din lagenge!”

Andar se Ruhi muskuraate hue Abhi ko dekh rahi thi, usski haath mein ek plate tha jissko wo kitchen ki table par rakhne jaa rahi thi magar Abhi ko ruk kar sunne lagi thi, aur abhi ne note kiya ke uss waqt Ruhi ke baal khule hue nahin the, balke bandhe the, kuch iss tarah se ke usski kaandhe par koyi dekhe to lagta tha ke usski baal kaandhe tak katte hue hein, behad khubsurat dikh rahi thi, shayad thoda makeup kiya hua tha ya cream powder lagaayi thi uss waqt Ruhi ne….. Abhi ne socha ke khud kitna ganda dikh raha hai, maile kapde, maila chehra, baal bikhre hue, aur Ruhi ek princess dikh rahi thi…. Abhi ko jaldi tha washroom jaane ki, to ussne kaha,

“Wait main wash karke wapas aata hoon aur aap ko samjhaunga ke kitne kaam hai.

Aur wo chala gaya khud ko saaf karne magar wahan Saeed aur baaki ke do log uss se pehle wash kar rahe the to Abhi ko wait karna pada tab tak wo kitchen mein dekhta raha, aur Ruhi bhi baar baar usske taraf dekh rahi thi apne kitchen ke kaam karte hue…..

Update 6 Second Day at Work
​
Aur wo chala gaya khud ko saaf karne magar wahan Saeed aur baaki ke do log uss se pehle wash kar rahe the to Abhi ko wait karna pada tab tak wo kitchen mein dekhta raha, aur Ruhi bhi baar baar usske taraf dekh rahi thi apne kitchen ke kaam karte hue…..

Ab aaguey…

Abhi ne aine mein apne chehre ko dekha aur khud ko sharam aya usse, usske donon taraf gaal par kaale dhabbe lage hue the, baal bikhre hue the, chehra dhoop mein jhulass gaya tha, gore rang par jaise ek brown colour chipak gaya tha; khud ko dekhte hue abhi ne thoda ghussa kiya ke kyun wo ruka uss aurat se baat karne ko aur kissi ne bhi ussko nahin bataya ke usske chehre par kia laga hua hai, sochne laga ke kia issi liye Ruhi ussko dekh kar muskura rahi thi? Abhi ne khud se kaha,

“kia sochegi mere baare mein? Yehi nah ke main ganda hoon, I am a dirty brat?! Sala log ek ladki ko dekhne jaate hein to smart, handsome ban kar, naha dhokar saaf suthra kapde pehen kar, naye joote, best shirt, khud ko presentable karke ladki ke saamne jaate hein aur main iss tarah se ganda dikh raha hoon kaun passand karega mujhe iss haal mein dhat!!”

Abhi ko sharam feel ho raha tha aur kitchen ke taraf dekhna bandh kar diya apna turn wait kiya khud ko fresh karne ke liye; magar usska dil nahin maan raha tha ke wo Ruhi ko kitchen mein nah dekhe, usska mann tha ke wo ussko dekhe pakaate hue, ussko admire kare, to Abhi ne apne doston ke peeth piche chhup chhup kar Ruhi ko dekhna jaari rakha….. ussne ek baar dekha ke Ruhi ki maa ussko kuch keh rahi thi aur Ruhi zor se hanssi aur usske taraf dekha, wo khilkhila kar hanssi thi, Abhi usski uss hanssi par fida ho gaya, ussko Ruhi ko aur weise hansste hue dekhne ko mann kar raha tha…. hanssne ke baad Ruhi chulhe par ek dish mein mein ek ladki wale spoon se kuch chala rahi thi, matlab mix kar rahi thi, tarkaari paka rahi hogi Abhi ne socha.. aur weise hanssne ke baad Ruhi ke chehre par ek Muskaan baaki tha aur ussne apne niche wale honth ko daanton mein dabaate hue apni maa ke taraf dekha aur ussko kuch kaha, phir ek haath se Ruhi apne chehre se ek latt ko apne sar ke upar kiya tab weise hi ek honth ko daant mein dabaaye hue hi Abhi ke tarraf phir se dekha aur donon ke nazrein mile…. Abhi ke chehre par ek Muskaan ban gaya tha apne aap Ruhi ko admire karte hue.

Ab kyunke ussne dekha ke Ruhi ne usske chehre mein dekha to ab Abhi ne socha ke ‘Ruhi kahin yeh nah samjhe ke main uss se muskura raha hoon, main to usski adaaon par muskura raha hoon….’ Aur abhi ne nazron ko ek taraf kar liya.

Phir Abhi ne khud ko wash kiya aur kapde change kiye. Ab wo apne unn kapdon mein tha jiss se subha bus mein aya tha. jiss kapde se kaam kiya tha ussko wapas ghar lejaane ko pack kiya kyunke wo maile ho gaye the kuch ziada hi. Weise ek hafte tak ek kaam karne wala kapda pehenta hai magar aaj ki baat kuch aur thi kyunke gande bus ko saaf kiya tha to khud maile ho gaye the iss liye kapde ko wapas lejaana pada….

Jitna time Abhi ne liya khud ko dhone, saaf karne ke liye tab tak Saeed tayaar ho gaya tha aur ab Ruhi ki maa uss se baat kar rahi thi. Matlab jo jawaab Abhi ko dena tha wo jawaab Saeed de raha tha Ruhi ki maa ko aur Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ab stairs par khadi Saeed ki baton ko sun rahi thi apne maa ke saath.

Aur jiss waqt Abhi apne baalon mein kanghi kar raha tha khud ko aine mein dekhte hue ussne dekha ke Ruhi ki nazrein uss par the. Ruhi Abhi ko baal banaate hue dekh rahi thi thoda muskuraate hue. Aur donon ke beech ziada faasla bhi nahin tha, aamne saamne the donon, yeh pehli bar tha ke Abhi Ruhi ko itne karib se dekh raha tha. Bahot hi acha feel hua Abhi ko. Usska dil machalne laga, bahot khush tha wo. Ussne ekaat baar Ruhi ko dekha weise hi muskuraate hue, aur iss baar Ruhi hanss padi Abhi ko dekhte hue, pata nahin kyun ussko hanssee aayi. Abhi ne dobara aine mein dekha Ruhi ko hansste hue dekh kar ke kahin usske chehre mein kuch aur to nahin laga hua hai, sab saaf tha to kyun hanssi wo Abhi ne socha!

Ek blue Jean aur ek white Tshirt mein dressed tha Abhi aur ab ek handsome young man dikh raha tha. ussne khud ko kayi baar aine mein dekha, chehre par haath ferra kayi baar aur Ruhi ki nazrein uss par tikke rahe muskuraate hue. Ruhi ab Saeed ko nahin sirf Abhi ko dekh rahi thi; aur jab Abhi tayaar hua wahan se nikalne ke liye to Mehboob nikla ghar se aur Saeed ke paas khade hokar baat karne laga…. Tab tak Abhi chalte hue Saeed tak reach hua apne bag ko kaandhe par taange hue, aur ek nazar Ruhi par kiye hue. Ruhi ki nazar Abhi par hi thi jab wo ruka, Mehboob se handshake kiya, aur Saeed se wapas chalne ko kaha. Baaki ke do workers chale gaye the tab tak. Saeed ke paas ek aur ladka koyi 27 ya 28 saal ka baat kar raha tha magar usske haath mein ek camera tha jiss se wo bus ki photos le raha tha, kal jab bus aya tha tab bhi ussne kuch photos liye the. Abhi soch raha tha ke wo kaun hoga, shayad Mehboob ka koyi rishtedar hoga ussne socha. Aur ek budha aadmi bhi tha Mehboob ke paas lagbhag 70 saal ka budha jissko Ruhi ne dada kehkar phukara aur ussko kuch dene lagi, tab Abhi ko pata chala ke wo r
Ruhi ki dada ji hai kyunke kal Abhi ne uss budhe ko Ruhi ke ghar ke saamne baraamde mein dekha tha. to jaane se pehle Abhi ne sabse handshake kiye, aur uss budhe se bhi, aur budhe ne abhi se pucha,

“kidhar ka bashinda ho beta? Door jaana hai kia?”

Abhi ne ussko jawaab diya ke koyi 30 kms tak jaana hai aur apne muhalle ka naam bataya dada ji ko. Uss waqt Ruhi dhyaan se muskuraate hue abhi ko dekh rahi thi usske dada ji se baat karte hue. Abhi ko acha laga ke Ruhi kitni der se ussko weise dekh rahi thi.

Aur aakhir mein Abhi ne wapas jaane ki kadam uthaye aur ek nazar Ruhi ke taraf dekha aur ussko bye wave kiya, saath saath usski maa se kaha, “bye aunty, kal milte hein!”

Ruhi ne hanss diye Abhi ko weisa kehte sunkar aur wo ladka jo bus ki chasis ka photos le raha tha wo bhi hanssa Ruhi aur usski maa ke taraf dekhte hue….. Abhi ne to Ruhi ko wave kiya magar Ruhi ne uss se wave ke badle sirf laugh kiye.

Bus mein wapas lautte waqt Abhi ne Saeed se pucha,

“Wo ladka kaun tha jo photos le raha tha bus ki?”

Saeed ne jawaab mein kaha,

“wo uss aurat ka bada beta hai jissko tu taad raha tha kal!”

Abhi heyraan hua aur kaha,

“What? Main kahan taad raha tha uss aurat ko? Aaj wo khud mujhse puch rahi thi ke kab tak bus ka kaam pura hoga!”

Saeed ne tab kaha wo joke kar raha hai,

Abhi ab sochne laga ke Ruhi ka itna bada aur ek bhai hai matlab Ruhi ka bada bhai! Shayad issi liye wo bhi hanssa tha jab Abhi ne usski maa ko bye kaha tha, Abhi ne socha….. aur wo din bhar nazar nahin aaye kyunke wo kahin kaam par gaya hua hoga din bhar iss liye sirf shaam ko nazar aya.

Ghar pahunchne se pehle Abhi ne dukaan se ek mota sa thick cover wala copy book kharida 400 pages wala.

Aur ghar jaate hi baith gaya uss mein likhne. Pehle usski cover par title likha – “The Days I Spent At Ruhi’s Place”

Pages ko number karna shuru kiya, phir jo kal 5 pages ka likha tha apne dairy mein wahan se sab copy kiya uss nayi copy book mein, aur aaj ki din bhar ka event likha Abhi ne. Sab kuch likha. Kiss tarah se Ruhi ussko dekh rahi thi, kiss tarah muskura rahi thi, kiss tarah kitchen mein pakka rahi thi etc . Apne feelings ko likha, ussko kitna acha lagta hai wahan jaana, wahin rehne ko mann karta hai yeh sab kuch likha Abhi ne. Aur yeh lines likh kar aaj ka likhna end kiya;

“I wish I would be living in that village of hers. Thus, I could go there any time and look at her. What could she be doing at this time? Had she already had dinner? Must she be watching TV with her family? How nice it would have been if I suddenly reach there at this time and she gets surprised to see me! Would her mother ask me to get inside and watch TV with them? Would I get a seat close to Ruhi and we both hold each other’s hands and watch TV?”

Ek sapna likh raha tha Abhi, ussko iss sapne ko sach karna tha.

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

Agle subha aur bhi ziada savere uth gaya Abhi. Usske dilo dimaagh mein sirf Ruhi bassa hua tha. Toilet kiya, brush kiya, aur brush karte waqt soch raha tha kia Ruhi uth gayi hogi iss waqt? Subha ke 5 baja tha. ya abhi neendh mein hogi? Aur agar neendh mein hogi to mujhko sapne mein dekh rahi hogi kyunke main ussko yaad kar raha hoon…. Abhi ne baal mein kanghi chalaate hue yaad kiya kiss tarah kal Ruhi ussko dekh rahi thi jab wo kanghi kar raha tha apne baal mein shaam ko, aur socha ke ab shaayad har roz weisa mauka milega ussko kyunke ussi time ko har roz kaam end karna aur wash karne jana hai aur ussi waqt Ruhi kitchen mein cook kar rahi hoti hai, yeh soch kar Abhi ko Khushi hui, dil ko ek sukoon mila.

Abhi ne shave bhi kiya, weise to har do din baad shave karta tha, magar kyunke ab Ruhi ka saamna karna tha ussne shave kiya aur soch liya ke jab tak Mehboob ki bus mein kaam karega har roz shave karega…. Wo chahta tha ke wo Ruhi ko handsome dikhe.

Handsome to tha hi Abhi ziada hi hansdsome tha, magar unn dinon clean shaven hona hota tha, jiss ne teen din se ziada shave nahin kiya ussko ganda kaha jata tha…

Ab kaam ke usske saare puraane kapde hote the, magar ussne yeh bhi decide kiya ke ab purane wale kapde nahin pehnega wahan jab tak kaam karega. Ek dark jean aur ek dark blue wala shirt liya kaam karne ke liye. Weise to takriban saal bhar ek set kapda use karta tha, aur 4/5 saal purana kapda use karta tha kaam karne ke liye, magar Ruhi ke liye sab special karna chahta tha. To behtareen kapda liya kaam karne ke liye, wo libaas jo ab tak almost naya tha ussko ek saal tak pehen sakta tha ussne ussko kaam karne ke liye le liya.

Aur aaj subha 6.30 ko abhi reach ho gaya uss muhalle mein. Shop se cigarrte kharida aur kasht maarte hue uss aangan mein dakhil hua, aur Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekhte hue aaguey badhta gaya ke achanak ussko garden mein koyi dikha…. Garden right hand side mein hai, plan mein dekh lena update 4 par…. Abhi ne bilkool bhi nahin socha tha ke itne savere wo Ruhi ka saamna karega….. Ruhi night gown mein thi aur garden se gulaab ke phool pick kar rahi thi… usski haath mein ek kainchi thi jiss se wo phool kaat rahi thi, usski left hand mein koyi 4 ya 5 gulaab already the aur wo aur kaat rahi thi, usski nightgown pale blue color ki thi, lambi thi usski pura jism dhaka hua tha niche tak, yahan tak ke usski chappal par uss dress ki last end chhuh rahe the…..

Ab samajh mein nahin aya ke Ruhi Abhi ko dekh kar darr gayi, sharma gayi ya bilkool expect nahin kiya tha ke itne savere koyi ghair usski aangan mein achanak prakat ho jaega, aur usska chehra bilkool badal gaya, sirf ek teerchi nazar se ek baar dekha Abhi ko ek pal ke liye aur turant chehra ek taraf kar liya Ruhi ne, jab tak abhi usske level reach hua, to abhi ne usske taraf dekhte hue kaha,

“Hello, good morning, how are you?!”

Ruhi ne ek shabd bhi nahin kaha. Wo gulaab ke phoolon ko dekhti rahi, Abhi reply expect kar raha tha, magar ruk to nahin sakta tha ussko aaguey badhna tha washroom ke taraf change karne ke liye, agar ruk kar Ruhi se savere savere baat karta to sahi nahin hota Abhi ne socha, kyunke abhi usski jaan pehchaan bhi nahin hui hai uss se, iss liye Abhi aaguey badhta gaya mudhkar Ruhi ke traraf dekhte hue, aur dhire dhire kehta gaya,

“bahot khubsurat gulaab hein, shabnami katrein nazar arahe hein gulaabon ke upar, photos lenge to behad khubsurat lagenge….”

Khuda jaane ke Ruhi ne Abhi ke unn baton ko suna bhi ya nahin, Abhi badhta gaya washroom ke taraf weisa kehte hue…

Abhi washroom mein apne working clothes pehente hue sochne laga ke kal shaam wali Ruhi aur aaj ki garden wali Ruhi mein kitna antar hai. Kal shaam wali Ruhi kitni khil kar dekh rahi thai Abhi ko, ussko bye bhi kiya tha Abhi ne wave karte hue aur wo hanssi thi, aur aaj bilkool alag thi wohi Ruhi….. ek good morning ka jawaab bhi nahin diya savere savere….. Abhi ne khud se kaha,

“Sala ek good morning ka reply karne mein kia jata hai? Mera din ban jata aaj agar ussne mujhe good morning keh diya hota to, din mazedaar guzarta aaj mera… magar ab to mood hi kharab ho gaya savere savere yaar, main kyun aaj itni savere agaya yahan…. Kaash wo ab kitchen mein ajaaye to main dobara ussko good morning karunga aur kahunga ke good morning ka jawaab dete hein khamosh nahin rehte….!”

Washroom se kapde change karne ke baad garden ke taraf jhanka Abhi ne aur dekha ke Ruhi ne phool tod liye aur ghar wapas chali gayi thi saamne wale darwaze se ghar ke andar gayi, kitchen ke taraf nahin aayi… ab ghar ke andar se zaroor kitchen mein aegi to abhi wahin wait karta raha kuch der tak… kitchen ka door open tha magar kitchen mein koyi bhi nahin dikh raha tha…. usski maa bhi nahin thi….

Abhi sochne laga – “kia Ruhi ne hi chai banaaye honge ya usski maa ne? kia Ruhi sabse pehle uthti hai, aur kitchen mein aati hai? Kitchen saaf suthra dikh raha tha…..”

Tab tak Rahima apni kitchen se Abhi ko hello karti hai puchte hue ke itne savere chale aaye….. Rahima ek 30 se 33 saal ki bahot khubsurat aurat thi. Usski ek unique beti thi Farzina naam se jo primary school jaati thi…. Abhi ne ek do baat kiye usske saath Ruhi ke kitchen ke taraf dekhte hue….

Abhi phir sapnon ki dunya mein kho gaya. Ussne kuch aisa socha ke kaash Ruhi kitchen mein aaye aur Abhi se puche ke ussne chai pee liya, aur ek cup chai serve kare abhi ko apne haath se…

Abhi ne itna socha hi tha ke Ruhi ne to nahin magar Rahima ne ek cup chai diya abhi ko, garma garam chai jo abhi abhi banaya tha ussne.

Chai peete hue Abhi Ruhi ke kitchen ke taraf dekhta gaya Ruhi ko sochte hue, aur usski bagiche mein bartaav ko sochte hue…. Abhi ko kuch acha nahin lag raha tha, usska din aaj bahot bura guzrega ussko lagne laga tha….

“kyun Ruhi ne mujhko jawaab nahin diya? Kyun ek taraf dekha ussne? Kal to sab thik tha aaj kia ho gaya? Kia aaj din mein mujhse muskuraegi? Mujhko dekhegi bhi ya nahin? Kyu eisa behave kiya ussne mere saath savere savere? Main kia samjhun? Kia ussne mujhe suna nahin hoga? Aisa keise ho sakta hai, sab khamosh the, fiza thandi, ek awaaz bhi nahin kahin, keise meri awaaz nahin suni hogi IMPOSSIBLE….. achi tarah se suni ussne mere waaz ko magar jaan bujh kar jawaab nahin diya ussne…. Kia main ajnabee hoon? Kia kal humne baat nahin kiye? Usski maa se, usske bhai se, dada ji se, sabse baat to kar liye to ajnabee kaise hua main?!!”

Abhi ko kuch bhi acha nahin feel ho raha tha… usska dil jaise baitha jaa raha tha, himmat nahin ho rahi thi usse aaj kaam karne ki…. Weakness feel karne laga sirf Ruhi ki berukhi ki vajah se….

Kuch der baad wo bus ke paas gaya ek aur cigarrete jala kar, chasis ke charon taraf ghuma aur soch raha tha kahan se shuru karen frame banane ko, tabhi Saeed aur do dusre mulazin haazir hue…..

Abhi ko pata tha, balke laga aaj ka din lamba aur bhaari guzrega….

Welding karna hai aaj din bhar, bus ki chasis par frame weld karna hai…. Tabhi kitchen ke stair par Ruhi aur usski maa nazar aaye. Ruhi ab nightgown mein nahin thi, ussne ek white blouse aur dark skirt pehni hui thi…. Phir turant Ruhi apne ghar ke saamne wale hise par aayi tap one ke paas wahan jharu lagaane aayi, kal bhi wohi kiya tha, ek chota sa baramde par jharu lagaa rahi thi aur Abhi ke bus do kadam ki doorie par thi, jhuk kar jharu lagaa rahi thi aur Abhi ki nazrein uss se hatt hi nahin rahe the…. Ruhi ko pata tha ke Abhi ussi ko dekhe jaa raha hai, aur ussne nazrein utha kar Abhi ko dekha ek halki si muskaan ke saath. Abhi cigarette pee raha tha, to Ruhi ne apni meethi awaaz mein kaha,

“cigarette pina achi baat nahin hai ji!”

To be continued…………. (3103 words)

Update 7 And It Continued….​

Ruhi ko pata tha ke abhi ussi ko dekhe jaa raha hai, aur ussne nazrein utha kar Abhi ko dekha ek halki si muskaan ke saath. Abhi cigarette pee raha tha, to Ruhi ne apni meethi awaaz mein kaha,

“cigarette pina achi baat nahin hai ji!”

Ab aaguey….

Abhi ne to abhi abhi socha ke din bura guzrega magar sab ulta ho raha tha ussko kitni Khushi hui Ruhi ki uss baat ko sunkar wo bayaan nahin kar sakta….. Abhi ke samajh mein nahin aya ke kia jawaab dein Ruhi ko, wo Abhi ki reply ka wait kar rahi thi, jhaaru lagana bandh kar diya tha khadi thi Abhi ka jawaab paane ke liye ek Muskaan banaaye hue apne honton par…. Abhi ne usski maa ke taraf dekha aur wo Abhi ko hi dekh rahi thi muskuraate hue kyunke ussko pata tha ke Ruhi uss se baat kar rahi hai….

Tab tak Saeed ji Abhi ke paas aa gaye aur kaha,

“Abhi Welding machine ko ek current point mein to lagao, shuru karo yaar!”

To Ruhi ko laga ke wo abhi ko kaam karne ke liye disturb kar rahi hair to wapas jhaaru lagaane lagi Saeed ko dekh kar aur Abhi ne feel kiya ke Saeed bhai ne ussko disturb kiya aur ussko jawaab diya,

“Saeed bhai wo bhi main hi karun? Tony se kaho nah current point mein lagaane ko, mujhe to weld karna hai, aur tubes ko measurement par kaatna hai pehle, aap tubes ki measurement to lelo bhai!”

To Saeed bhai chala gaya Tubes ke taraf aur Abhi wapas Ruhi ko dekha aur kaha,

“sunon please, ek baat puchni hai!”

Ruhi do kadam Abhi ke taraf muskuraati hui aayi aur pucha,

“kia? Cigarrte kyun nahin pina yeh puchoge aap?”

Abhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“are nahin puchna yeh hai ke aap ko main ne kuch der pehle good morning kaha to aap ne jawaab kyun nahin diya?!”

Ruhi heyrani se abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“What? Aap ne kab mujhse baat kiye, baat to main ne aap se kiya abhi abhi?!”

Abhi: “are yaar, jab tum garden se roses pick kar rahi thi aur main araha tha tab tumko good morning kaha tha nah?!”

Ruhi: “Really? Main ne to kuch nahin suna, sorry then, very good morning to you too and do have a nice day.”

Abhi bahot khush hua aur kaha,

“wow that’s great then, same to you my dear!”

Ruhi ne niche dekhte hue dhire se kaha,

“I am not your ‘dear’ aur aap to acha English bol lete ho to eisa kaam kyun karte ho aap?!”

Abhi: “Why? Iss kaam mein kia buraayi hai bhala?”

Ruhi: “meri mummy kehti hai yeh kaam sahi nahin hai kyunke iss mein future nahin hai!”

Abhi ne usski maa ke taraf dekha aur Ruhi ko jawaab diya,

“tumhari mummy ghalat kehti hai, this job is a perfect one.”

Tab tak Saeed wapas agaya aur thoda bossy hote hue Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi yeh baatein karne ka time nahin kaam karne ka waqt hai nah?!”

Saeed ki baat ko sunkar wahan se Ruhi bhaag chali!

Abhi ko acha nahin laga jiss tone mein Saeed ne Abhi ko Ruhi ke saamne weisa kaha. Magar Ruhi se batein karke Abhi bahot hi khush tha aur ab khud se kaha ke usska din ab bahot majedaar guzrega aaj to.

Abhi phir kaam par lag gaya. Kaam karte waqt of course baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekh raha tha. Abhi ne ek measurement tape lekar bus ki front side ka measurement liya, aur usske motabik lohe ko kaata bus ke front side ki frame weld karne ke liye. Saeed ne wohi kaam bus ki back side par kiya aur jo helper Tony tha wo Abhi ka saath raha aur ek dusra ladka tha Vinay naam se wo Saeed ka help kar raha tha.

Ab front side ke liye lohe ko curve karna tha weld karne se pehle. Yeh kaam garage mein ek bada sa machine mein hota tha, bade bade lohe ko kissi bhi form mein moda jaata tha tab bus ki chasis par weld kiya jata tha, ab yahan sab kaam haathon se karna tha to Abhi ne measure par kaate hue lohe ko ek bada sa hathode se ek dusre purane bus ki engine par rakh kar ek taraf Tony se hold karwaya aur uss lohe par hatoda maarta gaya ussko curve form dene ke liye. Uss se bahot shor ho raha tha. Koyi ek ghante tak abhi ko time hi nahin mila Ruhi ko dekhne ki magar Abhi ko pata nahin tha ke Ruhi apne ghar ke andar se khirki ke paas parde ke kone se Abhi ko wo kaam karte dekh rahi thi aur usski maa bhi dekh rahi thi Abhi ko uss lohe ko form dene ke liye kiss taraah hatoda maar raha tha. Ab wo loha Tony se sambhala nahin jaa raha tha kyun ke jab Abhi uss par hathoda maar raha tha to Tony ke haath mein shock lag raha tha iss liye kayi baar loha uss ke haath se chuth gira, aur ek baar loha jab Tony ke haath se chhuta to wo end wapas Abhi ke thik chehre ke paas laut kar ruka aur jhat se Abhi ne kuch kadam piche liya varna ussko gehra choat lag jata. Ruhi ne wo sab dekha aur usski aah nikli jiss waqt wo loha wapas Abhi ke chehre ke paas gaye to….

Kyunke jab loha bounce hokar gira ek ajeeb sa shor hua aur Tony zor se abhi ka naam chillaya ussko warn karne ke liye to Saeed, Vinay, Mehboob, Ruhi ka dada, Ruhi ki maa sab turant baahar aaye dekhne ko ke kia hua…..

Haath mein wo bada sa hatoda liye jiss action se upar chalaang laga kar Abhi kuda tha uss lohe se bachne ke liye, phir jiss jagah jaa kar Abhi land hua tha haath mein hathode sameth wo ek heroic action tha jissko Ruhi ne admire kiya.

Hero lag raha tha Abhi uss action ko karte hue. Aur jahan land hua tha Abhi uss chalaang ke baad wo Ruhi ki terrace par tha, aur thik ussi jagah se ruhi Abhi ko jhaank rahi thi. Aur ussne turant khirki ki parde ko hatta kar abhi se kaha,

“Bahot dangerous hai yeh kaam, aap bahot khatarnaak tarike se abhi hurt ho sakte the, mujhko bahot darr laga jab main ne uss lohe ko aap ke sar ke taraf udh kar aate hue dekha to, mujhe laga ke aap ko lag gayi…. Aap bahot flexible body ke malik ho gymnastic karte ho kia aap? Aap wahan se kaise, jaise udhkar yahan pahunche?!”

Abhi ko bahot hi acha laga Ruhi ko wo sab kehte hue sun kar aur jawaab diya ke garage mein ek sophisticated machine hai jo lohe ko modta hai, yahan kuch nahin hai iss liye haath se karna pad raha hai varna kaam bilkool dangerous nahin hai…. Phir bhi Ruhi ki maa ne bhi join kiya Ruhi ko aur kaha ke dangerous hai yeh kaam. Tab tak Saeed aur Mehboob bhi Abhi ke paas aagaye to Saeed ne kaha ke Tony ki ghalti hai ussko kissi bhi keemat par lohe ko chorrna nahin chahiye tha. Aur Saeed ne Abhi se kaha ke wo khud tony ke jagah ab lohe ko hold karega taake Abhi uss par hathoda maar sake. Jab dobara Abhi jaane laga hatoda maarne to apni meethi awaz mein ruhi ne darte hue abhi se kaha,

“be vey careful please, I am feeling scared!”

Abhi ka dil machal gaya Ruhi ki uss caring words se. kitna khayal rakh rahi thi wo Abhi ka. Abhi ko itna acha laga ke usska dil andar jaise jhomne laga tha.

Kaam jaari rakha gaya…. Aur ek ghanta laga abhi ko bus ki front side ke tamaam lohon ko curve form dene ke liye usske baad ussne welding karna shuru kiya chasis par unn kaate hue aur mode hue tamaam lohon ko. Baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke andar jhank bhi raha tha ke kahin Ruhi dikhegi ya nahin….

Ruhi nazar nahin aayi magar dusri nal ke paas Ruhi ki maa nazar aayi pathar par kapde dhote hue, aur pata chala ke wo kissi se baat karte hue kapde dho rahi thi to Abhi samajh gaya ke ruhi wahin hogi ghar ke piche wale hisse mein jahan se Abhi ko wo nazar nahin arahi thi…..

Abhi jo lohe tubes weld kiye jaa rahe the bus ki chasis par, wo base the frame ki. Ab uss base se upar aur tubes jode jayenge jo upar tak bus ka form lega. Wo sab karne mein ek mahina lag jaega. Abhi to kaam ki shuruwaat thi.

Der ghante beet gaye aur ek do baar Abhi ne dekha ke ghar ke piche se ek do baar Ruhi ne ussko dekha weld karte hue. Buss jhank rahi thi phir ghar ke piche ho jaati thi, same time apni maa se baat kar rahi thi….. Abhi ko pyas laga aur dekha ke nal hai to ek khali botal lekar gaya paani bharne, ussi bahane Ruhi se ek do baat kar leta, magar usska plan fail hua kyunke tap number one tha yahin bus ke paas, to kyun karib ke tap ko chorr kar piche wale tap mein paani bharne jata?! Phir bhi pani lene se pehle Ruhi ki maa se permission liya ke kia uss nal se paani le sakta hai…. Jiss waqt Ruhi ki maa Abhi ko reply kar rahi thi, Ruhi saamne aayi Abhi ko dekhne ke usski maa se kia keh raha tha wo. Muskura rahi thi aur jab abhi pani bharne laga botal mein to Ruhi ne kaha,

“pani maangte nahin hein, buss le lete hein, agli baar puchna nahin buss nal kholna aur bhar lena okay?!”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue thanks kaha, thik tabhi Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi se kuch kaha, aur turant Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“Hello? Juice piyoge? Thoda sa juice bana doon kia?!”

Yehi bat keh rahi thi Ruhi se usski maa ke kyun nah thoda sa juice de diya jaaye unn logon ko…

Magar Abhi ne Ruhi se muskuraate hue kaha,

“suno dear, juice sahi hai magar ek problem ho jaega!”

Ruhi heyrani se Abhi ko dekhte hue pucha,

“What? Juice se kia problem ho jaega bhala?”

To abhi ne kaha,

“juice piyunga to cigarrete pine ka mann karega kyunke juice sweet hoga nah? tab tum kahogi ke cigarrte pina acha nahin!”

Abhi ki reply sunkar Ruhi ki maa zor se hanss padi, aur Ruhi ne munh banaate hue kaha,

“to phir thik nahin nahin banaugi juice mat pina cigarrete phir!”

Phir bhi Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi ko juice serve karne ke liye kaha ussko, magar haath ke ishaare se Abhi ne mana kiya.

Jab Abhi wapas kaam karne laga to Tony ne Abhi se kaha,

“tum ne kaise pata liya uss ladki ko yaar? Kitni khubsurat hai, pyari bhi hai, ek din mile aur tumne ladki pata liye wah yaar!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue Tony ko jawaab diya,

“abhi pataya kahan hai yaar, abhi to sirf baat cheet chal rahi hai, normal, casual baatein ho rahe hein, pataana to abhi door ki baat hai ….”

Tony ne kaha,

“are bhai saaf dikh raha hai ke wo tumko kitna passand karti hai. Pahaad par chadhne ki zaroorat nahin yeh pata karne ke liye ke ladki tumko kitna passand karti hai saath mein maa bhi hahaha, wife aur saas donon mil gaya tujhe to!”

Abhi ne khush hote hue Tony se kaha,

“tere munh mein ghee shakar yaar, kaash yeh sab sach ho jaaye! Wo mujhko bahot passand hai yaar, I am really in love with her!”

Tony ne kaha,

“yeh bhi saaf dikh raha hai ke you are in love with her, magar tumko shaayad nahin dikh raha magar mujhko dikh raha ke she is also in love with you bhai!!”

Abhi bahot hi khush hua Tony ke baton ko sun kar…. Aur phir aur bi ziada Ruhi ke taraf dekhne laga Abhi. Magar Abhi ko nahin lagta tha ke Ruhi bhi uss se pyar karne lagi hai. Ussko lagta tha ke shayad thoda aakarshit hui hai Abhi se, shayad handsome hai iss liye magar pyar karne lagi yeh nahin dikh raha tha Abhi ko. Abhi ko karna yeh tha ke ussko Ruhi ko khud se pyar karwana tha, Abhi chahta tha ke Ruhi ko bhi Abhi se weise hi pyar ho jaise Abhi ko uss se hone laga hai….

Abhi ne socha phir wo Ruhi ko apne dil ki baat bataega. Abhi Ruhi ke aur paas jaana chahta tha. Abhi to kewal do din hue the; aur Ruhi Abhi ko jaanta bhi kahan hai, donon ek dusre ko achchi tarah se jaan lenge tab Abhi baat ko cherrega aisa socha hai Abhi ne.

Tony ne kaha,

“ziada der mat karna bhai kahin koyi aur baazi nah maar le!”

Yeh sunkar Abhi ko jhatka laga.

Pareshan hua wo, aur Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhne laga….. aisa fix dekha Ruhi ke chehre ko ke khud Ruhi hayraan hui aur ishaare se Ruhi ne hi pucha, “kia hua?!”

Abhi ke chehre mein ek udaasi chaah gayi thi, jo shayad Ruhi ne note kiya, Abhi lagataar ussko dekhe jaa raha tha aur Ruhi uncomfortable feel karne lagi…. Ruhi ne phir Abhi ko dekha aur haath ke ishaare se pucha kia hua to Abhi ne naah mein sar hillaya matlab kuch bhi nahin kaha….. phir Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ki maa taar par kapde sukhne ke liye taang rahi thi to jaldi sse Abhi bina kuch soche samjhe Ruhi ke taraf gaya…

Abhi ko apne taraf aate dekh kar Ruhi ka chehra laal ho gaya jaise ussko pata tha Abhi uss se kia kehne araha hai, Ruhi kabhi apni maa ko dekhti to kabhi bus mein dusre logon ko kaam karte dekhti phir Abhi ko dekhti… wo kuch ghabra si gayi….

Bus ke andar se Saeed bhai Abhi ko ghusse se dekh raha tha. ussko nahin passand tha ke kaam ke waqt Abhi idhar udhar jaaye…

Abhi Ruhi ke bilkool karib pahuncha aur dheemi awaaz mein, aashikana andaz mein pucha,

“Tumhari life mein koyi hai? Please sach batana? Agar hai to be jhijhak batado please.”

Ruhi hanss padi, chehra laal to hua hi tha aur Abhi ki baat sun kar wo hanssne lagi phir pucha,

“iss sawaal ka ek sawaal se jawaab doon?!”

Abhi usski hanssi ko admire karne laga, kitni khubsurat dikhti hai Ruhi hansste hue. Phir Abhi ne kaha,

“okay wohi sahi bolo to!”

Ruhi ne hansste hue hi pucha,

“yeh sawaal kyun? Jaan sakti hoon?!”

Abhi ne bilkool heyraan hote hue kaha,

“Areeee?! Kamaal hai, yeh koyi jawaab hai? Sawaal bhi nahin fit baithta ab…. Mera sawaal to sawaal hi reh gaya nah?!”

Ruhi ki maa donon ko muskuraate hue dekh rahi thi kapde taar par taangte hue.

Abhi ne phir dhire se kaha,

“please batao nah mere liye ye bahot important hai bolo nah please.”

Ruhi ne intelligently jawaab diya,

“kaise important ho sakta hai bhala? Hum ek dusre ko jaante bhi nahin, abhi do din hue ek dusre se baat kiye hue to kia important ho sakta hai do dinon mein? Mujhe nahin yakeen ke kuch bhi important hai abhi, I don’t believe you!”

Abhi ne socha wo bhi sahi tha.

Ruhi ab blush karne lagi aur apne jeeb ko apne upper lip ke andar se honth ko fullaya, phir muskuraayi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue….. donon ek dusre ke aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekh rahe the… Abhi ne note kiya ke Ruhi ki nazrein usske chehre ko chaaro taraf dekh rahe the, usski peshaani ko dekha usski nazar ne, phir usske gaal ko dekha, tab usske chehre ko dekha tab usske aankhon mein wapas dekha….. aur Abhi ne kaha,

“samajhdaar ko ishara kaafi hai, mujhe jo kehna tha so main ne keh diya, aaguey tumhari marzi miss Ruhi”

Yeh keh kar Abhi mudhne wala tha wapas bus ke paas jaane ke liye magar Ruhi ne ussko yeh kehkar roka,

“bilkool nahin, aap ne kuch bhi kaha nahin, aap ne ek sawaal kiya tha mujhse, kuch kehne aur sawaal karne mein antar hote hein mister Abhi!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekhte hue kaha,

“mera sawaal hi ishara tha meri baat ka, uss sawaal se ishara mil gaya hoga, samajhdaar to ho tum, to ishara kaafi hai tumko hehehehe!”

Aur Abhi jaane laga wapas, to Ruhi hanssne lagi aur kaha,

“bahot honshiyaar samajhte ho aap apne aap ko nah Abhi?!”

Tab tak Abhi bus ke paas reach ho chuka tha aur mudhkar Ruhi se kaha,

“samajhta nahin hoon Miss Ruhi, main HOON. Honshiyaar hoon main!”

Ruhi ussko dekhti rahi kaafi der tak hansste hue. Apni jagah se baar baar Abhi muskuraate hue Ruhi ko dekhe jaa raha tha weld karte hue, aur Ruhi bhi ab bade pyar se Abhi ko dekhti jaa rahi thi…….

Kapde taar par sukhne ke liyne taangne ke baad Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi se hansste hue pucha,

“kia keh raha tha Abhi?”

Ruhi thodi sharmaayi aur kaha,

“Puch raha tha ke kia koyi meri life mein hai kia? Hahahaha!”

Ruhi ki maa ne bus ke taraf Abhi ko dekhte hue Ruhi se kaha,

“Kaafi tez hai yeh ladka, yeh puchne agaya bus do din ki mulakaat mein? Hmmm aur tumne kia kaha usse?”

Ruhi ne balkhaate hue kaha,

“kuch nahin kaha main ne, main ne usske sawaal par sawaal se jawaab diya ke wo kyun yeh sawaal kar raha hai mujhse hihihihi!”

Maa: “Aur phir wo chala gaya kia?!”

Ruhi: “nahin bahot tez hai wo sach mein, padha likha lagta hai, English bhi acha bolta hai maa, ussne mujhe kaha ke samajhdar ko ishara kafi hai, aur kaha ke main samajhdar to hoon so samajh jaungi ke ussne ye sawaal kyun kiya mujhse, sach mein honshiyaar hai khud bhi kaha ussne hehehehe!”

Maa ne Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“to ab tu kia karegi? Bata? Kia wo pasand hai tujhe?”

Ruhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue Abhi ke taraf dekha, phir apni maa ke chehre mein ek ajeeb si sikanjh chehre par laate hue kaha,

“pata nahin maa, pata nahin mujhe, kitna handsome hai, hai nah maa? Padha likha bhi hai aur strong hai, kitna lamba hai maa!! Main kia karun maa?!”

Maa ne bhi ek gehri saans liye aur kaha,

“Mujhe kia pata mujhse kyun puch rahi hai, tu bol kia karna hai ab?!”

Ruhi ne phir muskuraate hue apni maa ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“Abhi kuch nahin kehna mujhe, kuch aur din beet jaane do tab bataungi aap ko aur shaayad ussko bhi….”

Update 8 The Next Early Morning​

Ruhi ne phir muskuraate hue apni maa ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“Abhi kuch nahin kehna mujhe, kuch aur din beet jaane do tab bataungi aap ko aur shaayad ussko bhi….”

Ab aaguey….

Wo din kuch weise hi beeta, ek dusre ko dekhte, kabhi kitchen ki stairs par Ruhi aati to kabhi ghar ke piche wale hisse par washing stone ke paas. Donon ek dusre ko dekhte, muskurate, aankhon aankhon se ishaare karte etc.

Sham hui, bahot saare log aa gaye uss aangan mein dekhne ke bus kaise ban rahe hein…. Ruhi ka bada bhai bhi agaya, usska naam tha Manoj.

Matlab Ruhi ke bhaiyon ke naam the Manoj aur Mahesh, Kissi firm mein kaam karta tha baaton baaton mein Abhi ko yeh pata chala usske baare mein.

Ruhi ke dada ji bhi kayi baar Abhi se baat karne aya tha usske paas jab Abhi weld kar raha tha. Budhe ko welding ke baare mein kaafi pata tha, uss baare mein baat kar raha tha Abhi se. Aur jab jab Abhi Ruhi ke taraf dekh raha tha to dada ji Abhi ko observe kar raha tha aur andar andar muskura raha tha.

Ab shaam ko ghar wapas jaane ke time kuch ziada log ekatha ho jaate the aangan mein to Ruhi door rehti thi, saamne kum aati thi kyunke sab log notice kar lete unn donon ko. Aur Abhi yeh chahta tha ke usske jaane ke waqt Ruhi usske saamne rahe, jaane se pehle wo Ruhi ko dekhte hue wahan se nikalna chahta tha. aur hua yeh ke jab Abhi washroom gaya khudko fresh karne to Ruhi kitchen mein bhi nahin dikhi.

Manoj aas paas tha iss liye shayad Ruhi doorie barak rahi thi Abhi ne socha, magar kal shaam ko to Manoj ke haziri mein hi Abhi ne Ruhi ko goodbye wave kiya tha to aaj kyun Ruhi door thi, wo thi kahan? Abhi ko kuch bhi acha nahin lag raha tha uss waqt. Bechain ho raha tha aur pray kar raha tha ke jaane se pehle Ruhi usske ssaamne aa jaaye.

Jab Abhi tayyar ho gaya, change kar liya, hair brush kar liya aur kitchen mein dekha to sirf Ruhi ki mummy thi wahan Ruhi nahin thi, Abhi udaas ho gaya aur socha ke kitchen ke stair par ja kar uss se puche ke Ruhi kidhar hai….

Phir abhi ne socha ke kia Ruhi kahin ghar ke andar se ussko dekh to nahin rahi? Kia ussne jaan bujh kar weisa kiya taake dekh sake ke Abhi ussko dhundta hai ya nahin? To Abhi ghar ke andar dekhne laga, khidkiyon ke paas dekhne laga ke koyi pardah hille, magar kuch nahin dikha aur aakhir mein ussko nikalna pada washroom se. Saeed bhai usska wait kar raha tha bus ke paas.

Jab Abhi ne mudhkar kitchen ke stairs par dekha to koyi nahin tha aaj usski maa bhi nahin thi wahan. Abhi ne socha kal kitna haseen shaam thi aur aaj kitna alag hai kyunke Ruhi saamne nahin hai.

Jab Tap number one ke paas aya abhi to ussne Ruhi ke dada ji ko goodbye kaha aur oonchi awaaz mein kaha,

“Acha main ab chalta hoon bade miyan kal milte hein bye!”

Abhi ne jaan bujh kar oonche awaaz mein baat kiya taake andar se Ruhi ussko sunein aur ussko pata chale ke wo wapas ghar jaa raha hai.

Main road par nikalte nikalte abhi ne kayi baar mudhkar stairs par dekha magar Ruhi nahin dikhi, Abhi ne ghar ke piche wale hisse par bhi dekha jahan kapde dhote hein wahan bhi dekha magar Ruhi kahin bhi nahin dikhi aur Abhi bahot udaas nikla wahan se iss shaam ko.

Wahan se ghar jaate waqt bus mein sirf Ruhi ke baare mein sochta gaya, ussko ek ghutan si feel hone laga tha, ek bhaaripan jaisa tha usske seene par, ek bojh feel ho raha tha usse, sirf iss liye ke Ruhi nazar nahin aayi aaj shaam ko. Ruhi ko dil mein basaaye, mann mein bithaaye safar kiya Abhi ne ghar tak.

Aur apni special diary mein sab likhne laga aaj ke din ke baare mein. Khud muskuraate hue likh raha tha ke kiss tarah se aaj Ruhi se baatein hui, kiss tarah uss se puchne gaya tha ke kia usski life mein koyi hai, aur Ruhi ka jawaab bhi likha sab kuch ek ek pal ko likha Abhi ne…….

Sab kuch likhne ke baad bahot der tak sochta raha ke kyun aaj shaam ko Ruhi nazar nahin aayi, yeh baat Abhi ko bahot disturb karne laga tha.

Raat der tak neendh nahin arahe the Abhi ko. Ussko sirf Ruhi nazar arahi thi har jagah. Sote, jaagte, uthte, baithte sirf Ruhi bassa hua tha Abhi ke khayaalon mein, bade mushkil se aankh lagi aur ussko laga ke buss kuch minaton mein subha ho gayi.

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

Aangan mein chalte hue daakhil ho raha tha Abhi Ruhi ki yadon mein doobe, aur garden mein dekha ke kahin Wo phir se dikh nah jaaye gulaab pick karte hue. Abhi aate waqt yehi soch liya tha ke kaash aaj bhi wo garden mein dikhe to Abhi aaj ruk kar uss se baat karega aur puchega ke kahan thi kal shaam ko, kyun ussko jaate hue nahin dekha…. Magar Ruhi to aaj subha garden mein thi hi nahin… aur abhi ne khud se kaha,

“sala aisa kyun hota hai har baar? Sab ulta kyun hone lagta hai, jab bhi kuch kehna chahun, to mauka saamne ata hi nahin…”

Aur wo washroom reach hua. Ruhi ke kitchen mein dekha, khaali tha kitchen. Koyi nahin tha wahan. Subha ke 6 baje the. Kaam to 7 baje start hota hai aur 6 baje Abhi wahan pahunch gaya tha, sirf aur sirf Ruhi ke liye. Log so rahe the aur Abhi kaam ke site par aa chuka tha.

Ab Abhi ko Khushi hoti ke Ruhi ussko apne achche kapdon mein dekhti iss se pehle ke wo kaam karne wala purana kapda pehenta. Abhi subha subha fresh tha, dhoop mein jhulsa hua nahin tha, usska skin fresh tha, shave kiya tha aane se pehle, aftershave lagaya tha, thoda perfume bhi lagaya tha shirt par; ek Wrangler Blue Jeans aur ek safed shirt pehna hua tha. ek pair of khubsurat sport shoes mein tha… To chahta tha ke Ruhi ke saamne weise pesh aaye, taake wo Ruhi ko acha dikhe. Abhi yeh bhi soch kar early aya tha ke 6 se 7 baje tak pura ek ghanta hoga usske paas Ruhi se baat karne ko agar wo saamne aati to…. Magar wo dikh hi nahin rahi thi. Sab se pehla sawaal abhi ko yeh karna tha Ruhi se ke kal shaam ko wo kidhar thi, kyun saamne nahin aayi, aur aaj Abhi Ruhi se yeh request karne wala tha ke aaj se har shaam ko jab usska wapas jaane ka time aaye to Ruhi usske saamne rahe, kitchen ke stairs par present rahe taake Abhi ussko goodbye keh sake, ussko wave kar sake. Yeh kehna tha Abhi ko Ruhi se aaj. Magar wo dikhe tab nah?!

Abhi sochne laga kia Ruhi abhi tak so rahi hogi? Kia wo late uthti hogi? Phir abhi ne khud se kaha ke nahin kal to garden mein takriban issi waqt wo gulab tod rahi thi, matlab jaag jaati hai wo savere. Kia ghar ke andar se Ruhi Abhi ko dekh rahi hogi? Kia jaan bujh kar wo Abhi ko tarpa rahi thi? Yeh sab soch raha tha Abhi.

Abhi ne kapde nahin badle, socha ke 7 baje jab sab log ajayenge tab change karega. Weise hi raha.

Apna bag rakha, ek cigarrete jalaya aur aangan mein ek walk karne laga. Bus ke piche wale hisse par dekhne gaya ke saeed ne kia kaam kiya hai… aur uss jagah se kapde dhone wale hisse ko dekha, to usske samajh mein aya ke kal jiss jagah par Ruhi khadi apni maa se baat kar rahi thi uss jagah se Ruhi ussko dikhta agar uss waqt Abhi bus ke piche wale hisse par kaam kar raha hota….. to Abhi ab charon taraf aangan ka moaena karne laga…. Dekhne laga ke kiss kiss jagah se kidhar behtar nazara hota hai Ruhi ke ghar, stairs, kitchen, kapde dhone wala place sab kidhar se best dikhta hai. Wo sab check kiya Abhi ne…..

Abhi ne yaad kiya ke first din ko Ruhi ek baar uss jagah se guzri thi jab apni cousin ke ghar se nikal ke apne ghar tak gayi thi, jiss din bus ko tow karke jungle se yahan laaya gaya tha. Ab Abhi ko yaad aya ke uss din ko ussne pehli baar Ruhi ko dekha tha. Uss roz Ruhi ek grey churidar mein thi aur haath mein do books liya hua tha ussne. To Abhi ko yeh bhi yaad aya ke ussne Ruhi ke haath mein ek Sydney Sheldon wala novel dekha tha uss din ko….. Aur ab Abhi samjha ke Ruhi read karti hai… khud Abhi ki taraah Ruhi ko kitabein padhna passand hai, wo apni cousin ke yahan se kitabein lene aayi thi, aur uss roz ghar ke samne wale door se andar gayi thi Ruhi haath mein kitabon ko liye.

To yeh sab yaad karte hue Abhi uss jagah par chal raha tha jahan se Ruhi guzri thi…. uss garden mein dekh raha tha jahan kal Ruhi gulaab tod rahi thi…., uss terrace ko dekh raha tha jahan Ruhi jhadu laga rahi thi, uss pathar ko dekh raha tha jahan usski maa kapde dho rahi thi…. Abhi ko uss aangan se pyar ho gaya jaise. Iss liye ke uss aangan ke har kone mein Ruhi bassi hui thi…

Abhi uss aagan ke chaaron awr dekh raha tha, ussko wo aangan sirf Ruhi ki yaad dila rahe the, Ruhi bassi hui thi wahan ke fiza mein, wahan ke hawa mein, wahan ke phoolon mein. Usski galiyon mein bhi sirf Ruhi bassi hui thi Abhi ke liye. Abhi chal kar main road par gaya. Road se seedha Ruhi ka ghar dikh raha tha, kitchen ki stairs dikh rahe the, Abhi ne socha ke yahan se bhi wo Ruhi ko dekh paega agar wo buss stair par ek baar khadi ho jaaye.. uss gali mein khada hokar Abhi Ruhi ko soch hi raha tha stair par dekhte hue ke jaise ek jaadu hua aur Ruhi nazar aayi stair par seedha main road par dekhte hue!!

Abhi ka dil zor se dhadka Ruhi ko dekh kar. Wo kal wali pale blue night gown mein thi, aur ussne Abhi ko dekh kar turant wapas andar ghuss gayi. To Abhi jaldi jaldi chal kar washroom ke taraf badha iss umeed se ke kitchen mein Ruhi ko dekh paega, wo wahin hogi kyunke uss ne abhi abhi ussko raaste par dekha….

Jab tak chalte hue Abhi washroom reach hua aur kitchen ke andar dekha to koyi bhi nahin tha. Abhi ko thoda ghussa aya. Sochne laga ke kyun chali gayi jab ussko pata hai ke main agaya hoon to?.... Phir Abhi sochne laga ke kia Ruhi sach mein stair par nikli thi ya yeh usska vehem tha? kia wo Ruhi ko itna soch raha tha ke wo usske khayaalon mein aayi thi assal mein wo Stairs par thi hi nahin? Abhi ne socha ke pyar ka aisa bhi assar ho sakta hai ke koyi yahan hai hi nahin phir bhi nazar arahi hai ussko? Wo kahin paagal to nahin hone laga tha? apna dimaaghi santulan khone to nahin laga tha Abhi pyar mei doob kar? Yehi sab soch raha tha Abhi…. 6.20 hue the, Abhi ne socha 45 mins se kum hai ab usske paas, kaash Ruhi kitchen mein aajaaye, wo pray karne laga ke God Ruhi ko kitchen mein bhej de jaldi se…..

Phir achanak Abhi ne khud se kaha,

“are agar wo meri tarah books padhti hai to wo zaroor book padh rahi hogi, matlab kal shaam ko bhi nahin dikhi thi kyunke book padh rahi hogi….”

Abhi khud ek bookworm tha, ussko achi tarah se pata tha book padhne wale ek baar agar padhne baith jaaye to uthte nahin hai, wo nah kuch sunte hai, nah kissi ki awaaz nah koyi shor sharaaba, unke concentration sirf book par hota hai…. Aur phir Abhi ne socha kitna acha pair hoga donon ka, donon ke taste same hein padhne ki latt donon ko hein wo bhi English book padhne ki latt……

6.30 hua aur Abhi himmat haar chuka tha. har ek minat ussko ek ghanta lag raha tha, har ek lamha ek ghata…… ussko yakeen ho gaya ke Ruhi read kar rahi hogi to jab tak wo book ko khatam nahin karegi wo saamne aane wali nahin hai. Wo phir bhi duaein maangta gaya khuda se ke usski Ruhi ko ek baar kitchen mein bhej dein….. aur Abhi ki Khuda se sunli….; duah qubool ho gayi; Ruhi kitchen mein aayi, uss night gown mein nahin balke ek two-piece mein, white blouse aur red skirt mein….

Ussko dekh ke Abhi ka dil achanak zor se dhadka, ek lamba saans liya Abhi ne aur dekha ke Ruhi ke haath mein ek cup tha jiss mein wo chai bhar rahi thi sar mez par jhuki hui thi, baal khule the aur weise hi jhuke hue gardan ke saath Ruhi ne ek halki Muskaan ke saath gardan ko left ki tarah mudhkar Abhi ko dekha. Abhi issi intezaar mein tha ke wo usske taraf dekhe taake wo uss se baat kar sake. Magar doorie 3 metre ke the to kaise baat karta, oonchi awaaz mein baat karna padta iss liye jiss waqt Ruhi ne usske taraf dekha to haath ke ishaare se bina awaaz ke jaise sound mute tha weise abhi ne ishaare se Good Morning kaha Ruhi ko. Ruhi muskuraayi aur weise hi honton ko “good morning” word pronounce karte hue ek khubsurat muskurahat se Ruhi ne bhi wish kiya Abhi ko, aur Ruhi wahin mez ke paas kitchen mein baith gayi chai sip karte hue. Abhi ko achcha laga ke apne kaam karne wale kapde mein change karne se pehle hi ruhi ne ussko ache kapdon mein dekha. Abhi ko pata tha ke wo handsome dikh raha tha aur chahta tha ke Ruhi par ek impression banaaye apni normal dress mein. Ruhi chai peete hue Abhi ke taraf hi dekh rahi thi.

Subha savere ka mausam tha, khamoshi chhaayi hui thi, fiza khubsurat tha, kuch parinde ki awaazein sunaayi de rahe the, ek chidya Ruhi ki kitchen ke upar baitha chun chun kar raha tha. Ziada tar log ab tak so rahe the, bahot kum log the main road par bhi iss waqt.

Mehboob bhi abhi tak utha nahin tha aur nah hi Rahima dikh rahi thi halaan ke usski bhi kitchen ka darwaza khula hua tha. To Abhi ne Ruhi ke stairs par jaane ko socha. Socha ke ek do baat phusphussate hue hi kar lega usske saath. Sirf 3 metres ka faasla tey karna tha to Abhi ne kadam badhaya Ruhi ke kitchen ke taraf ussko dekhte hue…..

Jaise Ruhi ne dekha ke Abhi usske taraf aa raha hai to jhat se uth kadhi hui aur haath ke ishaare se nah mein hillaya Abhi ko… Abhi ne kadam rok liya ussko dekhte hue…. Ruhi mudhkar kitchen mein apne piche dekha, phir wapas Abhi ko dekha, to Abhi ne Ruhi ke piche dekha yeh soch kar ke koyi usske piche se ussko dekh raha hoga, iss liye wo jahan tha wahin theher gaya, magar Ruhi ko dekhta raha. Ruhi uss pal khadi ho chuki thi aur baar baar apne piche dekh rahi thi jiss se eisa lag raha tha ke ya to koyi usske taraf ghar ke andar se kitchen mein araha tha ya to koyi ussko dekh raha tha….

Abhi ko bechaini hone laga, ussko Ruhi se kehna tha ke aaj shaam ko wo idhar hi present rahe jiss waqt wo wapas ghar jaane lage. Aur tabhi Rahima apni kitchen mein aayi aur Abhi ko hello kehkar ussko ek cup chai de diya kal subha ki tarah. Rahima apni nighty mein thi. Ek pink colour ki nighty pehni hui thi ussne. Abhi ko disturb feel hua ussko uss libaas mein dekh kar aur apne nazron ko jhuka liya uss ne. Magar Rahima seedha Abhi ke chehre mein dekh rahi thi muskuraate hue. Rahima ki kitchen ka darwaza thik uss washroom mein hi khulta tha, assal mein wo ek separate garage ki tarah tha aur kapde dhone ki ek pathar bhi tha uss washroom mein, washroom naam diya magar tha wo kapde dhone ki jagah jahan sab worker kaam ke baad khud ko wash karte the… matlab Abhi thik ek kadam kitchen ke darwaze ke paas hi tha, aur Ruhi ki kitchen 3 metres ki doorie par tha…. Rahima ne Abhi se kaha,

“Tum bahot savere aajate ho har roz, kitne baje ghar se nikalte ho? aur uthte kitne baje ho hmm?”

Abhi ko uss se baat hi nahin karna tha, wo to Ruhi ko dekh raha tha; phir bhi jawaab to dena tha Rahima ko, to Abhi ne bina Rahima ko dekhe, balke Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue Rahima ko jawaab diya. Kaha ke ussko subha ko savere uthne ki aadat hai aur yahan ka kaam bahot bada hai iss liye jaldi chala aata hai.

Ab udhar se jab Ruhi ne abhi ko baat karte dekha to ussko pata chal gaya ke Rahima ki kitchen mein iss waqt sirf wohi ho sakti hai, to Ruhi ne Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue, apne chai ko khatam karke cup ko thoda zor se mez par patka aur wahan se uth kar andar chali gayi. Abhi ko saaf samajh mein agaya ke Ruhi naraaz ho gayi kyunke wo Rahima se baat kar raha tha. Abhi ne socha are kia baat ho gayi, Rahima malkin hai bus ki, usske yahan kaam karta hoon ussne mujhse baat ki to main kaise ussko reply nah karun?

Ab Abhi ko ghussa aane laga Ruhi ki naarazgi par, aur Abhi ne apne kapde change karne ko socha ab. Tab tak Ruhi wapas aayi, aur thik jab wo kitchen mein aayi to Abhi Rahima ko cup wapas kar raha tha aur kyunke Rahima nighty mein thi usskki nangi baazu dikha Ruhi ko Abhi ke haath se cup lete hue, ussko fir ghussa aya aur wo munh banaate hue phir wapas chali gayi. Iss baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko munh banaate hue dekha aur ab Abhi ko hanssi aayi usski naraazgi par.

Aur Abhi ne change karna shuru kiya tab tak Rahima ghar ke andar chali gayi aur Ruhi phir kitchen mein aayi, Abhi ne shirt utaar diya tha, aur Ruhi ko dekha to wapas shirt ko pehna aur Ruhi ke kitchen ke taraf badha magar phir Ruhi ne haath ke ishaare se ussko wapas jaane ko kaha…. Abhi phir ruka aur ab ussne ishaare se Ruhi ko kuch kaha jo Ruhi nahin samjhi to Ruhi ne apne honthon ko “KIA?” ke form banaate hue Abhi se pucha….

Tab Abhi ne Ruhi ko stairs par aane ka ishara kiya. Ruhi ne munh fula kar nah mein sar hillaya. Abhi ne zid kiya ke ya to wo stairs par aaye ya Abhi usski kitchen ke stairs par aega. Ruhi samajh gayi aur apne piche mudhkar dekha aur Abhi ko ishaare se apne piche ungli se ishara karte hue kuch kaha jo iss baar Abhi nahin samjha. Magar itna abhi samjha ke ishaare se Ruhi shayad kehna chahti hai ke koyi hai wahan par jo ussko dekh raha ya rahi hai….

Aur tab tak Tony agaya, 6.45 ho gaye the. Saeed nahin aya tha tab tak. Ruhi ne Tony ko dekha, Tony ne ussko hello kaha aur Ruhi ne apne sar ko jhukaate hue Tony hello kiya. Phir Abhi ne weise hi ishaare se Ruhi ko piche ke nal ke paas aane ko kaha, aur Ruhi ke okay kaha. To jaldi se Abhi gaya Ruhi ke ghar ke uss hisse par jahan washing stone tha. Wahan ek khidki bhi tha, jiss par Ruhi aayi aur khidki se abhi ko dekhte hue pucha,

“ofo kia keh rahe ho aap main kuch nahin samajh rahi!”

Abhi ne direct pucha,

“Tum kal shaam ko kahan thi jab main ghar wapas jaane laga tha?”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue pucha,

“kyun? Main kahin bhi rahun aap ko kyun bataun?!”

Abhi ke samajh mein nahin aya ke ab kia kahen, ussne yeh reply to nahin expect kiya tha Ruhi se.

To Ruhi ne khud sawaal kiya,

“Aap abhi kiss se baatein kar rahe the?”

Abhi samajh gaya ke Ruhi Rahima ki baat kar rahi thi.

To jawaab diya,

“Tumko to pata hai kiss se main baat kar raha tha to kyun puch rahi ho? Mujhe batao ke tum kal kyun nahin dikhi yaar!”

Ruhi: “wo har subha tumko chai deti hai?”

Abhi: “hmm kal bhi diya tha main savere aajata hoon nah?!”

Ruhi: “hmmm kal matlab jab main gulaab tod rahi thi aur aap ne mujhe good morning kaha tha tab?!”

Abhi: “oh yeh baat hai to tumne suna tha jab main ne tumko good morning kaha tha kal aur mujhse kaha ke kuch suna hi nahin tha tumne! Bad manners for not replying a greeting!”

Ruhi hanss padi aur kaha,

“wo main ghabra gayi thi nah, aap achanak saamne dikh gaye the subha subha to meri samajh mein nahin aya ke main kia karun, main darr gayi thi aap ko achanak dekh kar issi liye meri awaaz hi nahin nikli thi aap ko jawab dene ke liye!”

Abhi ne muskuraya aur pucha,

“ab to bata do ke kal tum kidhar thi shaam ko!”

Ruhi: “kal? Meri aankh lag gayi thi jab aap jaa rahe the.”

Abhi: “shaam 5.30 ko tum so rahi thi? Main nahin maanta, tum andar se mujhko zaroor dekh rahi hogi nah? Tumne jaan bujh kar weisa kiya mujhko tadpaane ke liye hai nah bolo?!”

Ruhi ne apni kehuni ko windows ke kone par tikaate hue kaha,

“Main weisa kyun karungi bhala? Main to har shaam ko kitchen mein mummy ki help karti hoon…… wo kia hai ke main kitab padh rahi thi aur padhte padhte aankh lag gayi thi, thik aap logon ke jaane ke baad main kitchen mein gayi, tab baahar dekha to koyi bhi nahin tha aap log jaa chuke the!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“oh yeh baat hai to ek kaam karna aaj ke baad mere liye; karogi?!”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue pucha,

“main kyun aap ke liye koyi kaam karungi?” aur hanss padi Ruhi.

Abhi ne phir bhi kaha,

“Please aaj se har shaam ko mere jaane ke waqt tum please mere saamne rehna, ya to stair par present rehna ya yahan iss khidki par rehna, main tumko har roz jaate hue dekhna chahta hoon, tumko bye wave karna chahta hoon, tumhari chehre ko dekhte hue jaana chahta hoon, itna karogi mere liye please?!”

Update 9 Abhi Got Wounded​

“Please aaj se har shaam ko mere jaane ke waqt tum please mere saamne rehna, ya to stair par present rehna ya yahan iss khidki par rehna, main tumko har roz jaate hue dekhna chahta hoon, tumko bye wave karna chahta hoon, tumhari chehre ko dekhte hue jaana chahta hoon, itna karogi mere liye please?!”

Ab aaguey….

Buss itna kaha Ruhi ko Abhi ne ke Saeed ji aate hue dikhaayi diye aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“Piche dekho, tumhara boss tumko dekh raha hai, ab jao ussko passand nahin jab tum kaam chorr kar mujhse baat karne aate ho!”

Abhi ne mudhkar dekha Saeed chalte hue washroom ke taraf badh raha tha, ussne Abhi ko ek bure nazar se dekha jaise sach mein ussko napassand tha ke wo Ruhi se baat kare aur Abhi ne ussko “hi Saeed bhai” kaha, to Saeed ne bhi “Hello” kehte hue aaguey badh gaya, usska chehra dekhne layak tha uss waqt. Aur Ruhi ne abhi se kaha,

“Dekha aap ne wo naakhush hai usske chehre se dikh raha hai!”

Abhi ne jawaab mein kaha,

“Tum usski fikar kyun kar rahi ho? Tum mera fikar karo nah. usska koyi haq nahin hai mujh par, mujhe kuch bhi karne se mana nahin kar sakta wo!”

Ruhi: “Tumhara boss hai nah, tum usske liye kaam karte ho to haq banta hai usska.”

Abhi: “Tumko kiss ne bataya ke main usske liye kaam karta hoon? Main ne uss se sirf kaam seekha hai, abhi wo mera koyi boss voss nahin hai, garage mein mera boss tha yahan nahin, samjhi kia?!”

Ruhi: “Mujhe kia pata mummy ne to kaha ke tum usske niche kaam karte ho!”

Abhi: “ofo, kia hai yaar ab tumhari mummy ko kaise yeh sab batein pata hai? Chorro inn baton ko tum yeh batao ke tumko mera naamm kaise pata chala? Tumne jab kal mujhe “Abhi” bulaya tha tabhi main puchne wala tha magar bhool gaya!”

Ruhi: “Are yeh bhi koyi puchne ki baat hai kia? Sab log itne zor zor se aapko bulaate rehte hein ke Abhi yeh karo, Abhi wo karo, Abhi kidhar ho, Abhi yahan aao, Abhi issko uthao, Abhi;Abhi; Abhi; iss aangan mein, hamare aangan mein sirf Abhi ka naam hi sunaayi deta hai aaj kal; jaise Abhi ka naam liye bina kissi ka kaam hi nahin hota uss bus mein; to kaise mujhe pata nahin chalega wo Abhi aap ho?!”

Abhi hanssne laga Ruhi ne jiss adaa se wo sab kuch kaha tha.

Aut thik tabhi Saeed ji ne kaha,

“ABHI ajao shuru karte hein yaar!”

Wo sunkar donon Abhi aur Ruhi hanns pade aur Ruhi ne zor se hansste hue kaha,

“Dekha main ne kaha nah sirf Abhi ka naam sunaayi deta hai iss aangan mein ab jao aap ka boss bula rahe hein aap ko!”

Abhi ki hanssi nahin ruk rahe the, Ruhi bhi ussko weise hansste dekh kar hanssti jaa rahi thi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue aur Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“I love your smile and the way you laugh.”

Aur Ruhi ne kaha;

“And I love your smile and your laughs, keep laughing always!”

Abhi ka dil garden garden ho gaya Ruhi ki baat sunkar aur kaha,

“Okay then chalta hoon shaam ko nazar aana zaroor okay?”

Ruhi ne haan mein sar hillaya aur aaj Ruhi ne Abhi ko wave kiya apni khubsurat kalaayi ko hillate hue phir kaha,

“wish you a very nice day”

Abhi jaane laga tha aur mudhkar kaha,

“Wish you the same Sweetheart!”

Sweetheart word kehkar Abhi wahaan se tez kadmon ke raftaar se nikla, aur Ruhi ne muskuraate hue sar khidki ke baahar nikal kar kaha,

“I am NOT your Sweetheart!” aur Ruhi hanssne lagi jab dekha ke Abhi bhaag gaya…. Ruhi wahin khadi rahi khidki ke paas kuch der aur usski aankhein bhar aaye, ekaat boondh aansso ke usske gaal par tapke jissko wo ponch hi rahi thi ke dekha usske saamne Abhi ussko dekh raha hai!

Abhi khada sab dekh raha tha, Ruhi ke aankhon ka bharna, aansoowon ka tapakna aur gaal par behna sab dekha Abhi ne…. Ruhi ne iss liye nahin dekha ke Abhi wapas aya tha kyunke uss pal ko wo aasmaan mein dekhte hue kuch soch rahi thi jiss waqt usske aankhen bhar aaye the….

Abhi ko dekhte hue Ruhi ne apne gaal saaf kiye aur Abhi ne ekdum serious hokar pucha,

“Kia hua? Ari hua kia? Tum abhi to hanss rahi to rone kyu lagi ahcaanak? Kia hua kia?

Ruhi ne buss negative mein sarr hillate hue kaha,

“It’s ok kuch bhi nahin main aisi hi hoon kabhi bhi ro padti hoon, buss samajhlo ke yeh Khushi ke aansoo hein!”

Abhi ne heyraan hote hue pucha,

“kiss baat par royi tum? Last word to tum ne Khushi se mujhe kaha ke tum meri sweetheart nahin ho tab tumhare aankhen bharr aaye main ne sab dekha…. Kia sochne lagi thi tum mujhe reply karne ke baad? Kyun aasmaan mein dekh rahi thi? Batao nah kia baat hai!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Meri bahot buri kismat hai, samajh lo ke main manhoos hoon, mujhko khushiyan raas nahin aati, iss liye rona agaya mujhe!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Please aise mat rona mujhe dukh ho raha hai tumko rote dekh kar, aur yeh kitaabi baatein to mat hi karo mujhse ke buri kismat hai, manhoos ho, khushiyan raas nahin aati etc… bahot ziada novels padhti ho tum ussi ka assar hai aisi baatein !”

Saeed ji ki awaaz phir aayi,

“Are ABHI aao nah yaar kaam nahin karna kia aaj!!”

Ruhi phir hanss padi aur kaha,

“hahahaha, lo phir tumhara naam phukara jaa raha hai meri aangan mein ab jao tum ABHI SAHAB!!

Abhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“haan aise hi hansste rehna dekho kitni khubsurat dikh rahi ho hansste hue, keep laughing sweetheart, muuuuaaah!”

Tab tak iss baar sach mein Abhi jaa chuka tha aur dobara Ruhi ne sar khidki ke baahar nikal kar kaha,

“I AM NOT YOUR SWEETHEART ABHI”

Aur Ruhi badbadaayi,

“Kyun sweetheart keh rahe ho mujhe tum? Main nahin ban sakti tumhari sweetheart Abhi. Nahin ban sakti main!”

Ab aisa kyun kaha Ruhi ne? Buss jo bhi munh mein ata bol deti hai ya koyi baat thi aisa kehne ke liye? Abhi ke saamne nahin kaha usske peeth ke piche kaha, agar weisi koyi baat hai to uss se saaf kehdo nah?

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

Udhar Abhi aur team ne kaam start kar diye the. Abhi weld kar raha tha. Tony ussko help kar raha tha. Ab wahan ek aisa mauka aya jabke Abhi ko puraane chasis se pehle wale chipke hue lohe ko pighla kar giraana tha taake naye lohe ko us jagah par chipkaaye. Ek ghante tak weisa karte jaa raha tha. Ekaat baar ussne Ruhi ko chaaron taraf dekha magar wo dikh nahin rahi thi. Ab welding kar raha tha to welding mask hota hai nah, wo chehre ke saamne tha aur bahot concentration se kaam kar raha tha ke ussko dikha bhi nahin ke Ruhi usske bagal se guzar gayi kahin jaate hue. Usski maa bhi sath thi, Tony ne bhi nahin dekha unn donon ko jaate hue magar Saeed ne dekha.

Abhi khada, tha welding stick se ek purane chipke hue lohe ko pighla kar giraane ke liye, wo pighla hu loha niche girr rahe the, aur accidentally ek baar ek pighle hue lohe ka ball Abhi ke payr par girra, aur ussko pata hi nahin chala, aur jab pighla hua lohe se Abhi ki payr ki chamri mein jalan feel hua tab wo jaldi se apne payr par dekha, tab tak wo lohe ka pighla hua ball jo almost aag ka gola tha Abhi ke joote ke andar pighalte hue ghuss gaya Abhi ne dard ke maare haath se mask aur welding stick feinka aur chilla utha, aur jaldi se joota nikaalne ko baitha, jitna time ussne liya joota utaarne mein tab tak wo garam pighla hua loha jo aag ka gola tha usske payr ke chamri mein dhansste chala jar aha tha, Abhi chilla utha aur jab joota nikaal liya to socks mein ek hole ho chuka tha dhuan nikal raha tha aur wo pighla loha abhi ke payr ke gosht ko pighla raha tha, ek hole usske payr mein ho chuka tha tab tak Tony ne botal ka paani dala Abhi ke peyr par…. aur Abhi ne apne tang ko ek jhatka diya to wo garam Pighla hua loha ek taraf girra…..

Abhi dard se tadap raha tha, uss haalat mein bhi wo sirf Ruhi ko hi yaad kar raha tha, usske dil ki ek ichcha thi ke Ruhi uss waqt usske paas aaye aur ussko dilaasha de…. Magar Ruhi to thi hi nahin wahan aur Abhi soch raha tha wo ghar ke andar hai. Abhi ke payr par ek chedh jaisa ho gaya tha aur laal mass ka tukda dikhne laga tha….. Saeed bhai ne turant Abhi ko hospital jaane ko kaha kyunke injection lagwana bahot zaroori tha uss ghav ke liye, khoon beh rahe the aur Abhi ko uss jagah par bahot jalan feel ho rahi thi…. wo thik se chal bhi nahin paa raha tha….

To Mehboob ki wife, Rahima ne kaha,

“Dispensary hai yahin kuch door, main road par wahan lejao koyi Abhi ko, injection ho jaega.”

Abhi, Ruhi ke ghar ke andar dekh raha tha ke kyun koyi nahin araha tha ussko dekhne, ussko ajeeb laga ke aisa haadsa ho gaya aur unn logon ko kuch bhi sunaayi nahin diya ab tak?

Wahan ke logon mein se jo log shaam ko sab kuch dekhne aate hein unn mein se ek aadmi aaj kaam par nahin gaya tha shukar hai ke wo ussi waqt aangan ke andar aa raha tha, aur ussko jab sab pata chala to kaha ke wo apne car lekar turant ata hai Abhi ko dispensary lejaane ke liye.

Aur Abhi ko dispensary lejaya gaya. Marham patti kiya gaya usske payr mein. Ek injection lagaya gaya kulhe mein aur 3 injection har roz aakar lagana tha.

Ab payr mein patti bandh gayi to joota pehnna namumkin tha to aate aate Abhi ne ek pair of chappal kharid kar pehna. Aur wapas kaam par aaya. Saeed ne ussko ghar wapas jaane ko kaha rest karne ko kaha. Agar kahin aur kaam kar raha hota Abhi to turant ghar chala jaata magar yahan to Ruhi thi to wo hargiz nahin jaana chahega nah….

Wapas aane ke baad Rahima ne ussko juice diya au ek cigarette jala kar Abhi baitha aur Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekhne laga. Sochne laga ke kyun koyi bhi nazar nahin araha tha. Aur kuch der baad dada ji aya aur Abhi se pucha ke kaise yeh sab hua. Abhi ne socha agar dada ji ko pata chal gaya to Ruhi aur usski maa ko to pata zaroor chala hoga to kyun Ruhi ussko dekhne ko nahin aya Abhi yeh sochne laga.

Aur kaam start kiya Abhi ne baaki ke welding ko continue karte hue….

Phir lunch time hua, aur jab Abhi khana khane ja raha tha to main road se Ruhi aur usski maa ko aate hue dekha. Ruhi ne ek bahot khubsurat dress pehni hui thi aur pari jaisi dikh rahi thi. Behad khubsurat nazar arahi thi. Abhi wahin khada reh gaya ussko dekhte hue, aur apne payr ke dard ko bhool gaya. Sab log khaane chale gaye magar Abhi wait karta raha ke Ruhi usske karib aaye to wo ussko kuch to bole…. Ruhi ne jab Abhi ko khada dekha to muskuraane lagi aur sar niche jhuka liya. Wo aaguey chal rahi thi aur usski maa piche thi. Ruhi ke haath mein ek bag tha aur usski maa ke haath mein ek uss se bhi bada bag tha. kuch kharidne gaye the shayad Abhi ne socha. Aur jab Ruhi karib agayi to Abhi ne buss kaha,

“kamaal hai tum kab gayi ke mujhe pata hi nahin chala!”

Ruhi ne buss kaha,

“Aap kaam mein busy the jab main jaa rahi thi; yahin se guzri thi, khanssi bhi thi main aap ko agah karne ke liye magar aap ki welding machine shor kar rahi thi to shaayad aap ne suna hi nahin, to main kia karti?”

Tab tak usski maa ne ussko join karte hue kaha,

“ab chal bhi!”

To Ruhi ko jaana para…. Abhi ne aur kuch nahin kaha, ussne socha tha ke Ruhi ussko bina joota ke dekh kar heyraan hogi aur usske payr mein patti dekh kar sawaal karegi magar Ruhi ne kuch nahin pucha to Abhi sad hua aur khaane chala gaya.

Abhi ko Khushi hoti ke Ruhi usska care karta, aur dekhna chahta tha ke Ruhi ki expression kaisi hoti yeh jaan kar ke Abhi ko gehra choat laga hai aur injection karne gaya tha….. khair khana khaate waqt Abhi yeh expect karne laga ke ab Ruhi ke dada se Ruhi aur usski maa ko pata chal jaega to baad mein jab baat karne ka mauka milega to Ruhi zaroor puchegi Abhi se uss baare mein.

Magar uss din ko Ruhi ne ek baar bhi nahin pucha Abhi se ke usske payr mein kia hua, kayi baar shaam tak Ruhi aur Abhi ke nazrein mile, ek baar to donon aap paas the jab shaam ko Ruhi apni terasse par apni cousin sister se baat kar rahi thi, abhi wahin tha bus ke paas bilkool aamne saamne aur Ruhi baat karte waqt baar baar Abhi ko dekh rahi thi , donon ke nazrein mil rahe the magar ek baar bhi Ruhi ne nahin pucha Abhi se ke kyun payr mein patti bandhi hui hai aur choat kaise lagi. Iss se Abhi bahot disappoint hua.

Aur aya time ghar wapas jaane ka tab Ruhi stairs par aayi to, usski maa bhi wahin thi, aur jab Abhi wapas jaane laha to wave to kiya Ruhi ko, Ruhi muskura rahi thi Abhi ko dekhte hue aur halaan ke Abhi chappal mein ghar wapas jaa raha tha, shoes nahin pehna tha phir bhi Ruhi ne kuch nahin pucha aur nah usski maa ne pucha ke kyun chappal mein ghar jaa raha hai….

Abhi niraash hokar wahan se ghar wapas gaya iss din ko.

Ghar aakar apne disappointment ko likha Diary mein Abhi ne. udaas tha, phir bhi dil mein Ruhi ke liye bahot sara pyar samaya hua tha aur AbHi ne socha ke ho sakta hai ke dada ji ne bataya hi nahin ho ke Abhi ke payr jal gaye the, magar usske payr mein patti to dekhe honge Ruhi aur usski maa ne bhi to kyun donon mein se kissi ne bhi nahin pucha ke kia hua usske payr mein.

Abhi ne phir bhi ignore kiya aur Ruhi ki approach aur usski Muskaan, aur nazron ko socha ke kitni pyar se har baar wo Abhi ko dekh rahi thi aaj din bhar… wo sab yaad karte hue Abhi sone gaya; iss umeed se ke kal din behtar hoga. Kal Ruhi uss se puchegi ke usske payr mein kia hua, kal Ruhi usska ziada khayal karegi, kal Ruhi ko bahut afsos hoga yeh jaan kar ke Abhi ko choat lagi hai kaam mein, kal jab injection karwane jaega to Ruhi shayad usske sath jaegi ya ussko jaate waqt dekhegi, aur Abhi khud Ruhi ko apne saath chalne ko kahega…. Yeh sab sochte, Ruhi ko dil mein bassa kar Abhi ko neendh agayi, ussko apne payr ka dard bhi mehsoos nahin hua itna khoya hua tha Ruhi ki yaad mein.

Update 10 The Saturday​

Kal Ruhi uss se puchegi ke usske payr mein kia hua, kal Ruhi usska ziada khayal karegi, kal Ruhi ko bahut afsos hoga yeh jaan kar ke Abhi ko choat lagi hai kaam mein, kal jab injection karwane jaega to Ruhi shayad usske sath jaegi ya ussko jaate waqt dekhegi, aur Abhi khud Ruhi ko apne saath chalne ko kahega…. Yeh sab sochte, Ruhi ko dil mein bassa kar Abhi ko neendh agayi, ussko apne payr ka dard bhi mehsoos nahin hua itna khoya hua tha Ruhi ki yaad mein.

Ab aaguey….

Ek hafta guzra. Saturday ka din aya aur uss din ko Abhi team 2 baje kaam end karte the.

Subha ko Ruhi nahin dikha uss roz kyunke Abhi late aya tha, 7.15 ko reach hua, to jaldi se dress change karke kaam par lag gaya.

Har subha ab Abhi ko pata chal gaya tha ke Ruhi kitne baje kahan dikhegi aur kia kia kaam kiss samaye ko Ruhi karti hai.

Har subha kareeb 8 baje ghar ke saamne wale hisse ko saaf karti hai, jhadu lagaati hai, aur wo bus ke bilkool kareeb hai, jahan se Ruhi Abhi ko dekha karti hai, muskuraati hai uss se, parde ko khinchti hai taake Abhi bhi ussko dekh sake. Phir Ruhi terrace saaf karti hai, jhadu lagaati hai aur pocha karti hai, wo ghar ke baahar hoti hai aur bilkool Abhi ke nazdik rehti hai uss waqt. Phir karib 10 baje har roz Ruhi kapde dhone wale pathar ke paas dikhti hai kuch kapde dhote hue.

Kapde dhone ke baad Ruhi har roz ussi pathar par apne peyr uthakar pathar par ragadhti hai uss par paani daalte hue. Har baar jab wo weisa karti hai to Abhi kaam dhaam rok kar Ruhi ko bade pyar de dekhta hai, ussko admire karta hai. Yeh sab ek routine ke jaisa ho gaya tha Abhi ke liye aur Ruhi ke liye bhi. Sab kuch jo Ruhi karti thi, har baar mudhkar dekhti thi ke Abhi ussko dekh raha hai ya nahin. Aur kabhi Abhi ussko nahin dekh raha hota to Ruhi wait karti thi ke Abhi ussko dekhe.

To Saturday ko kyunke 2 baje kaam end karna tha to Saeed team rush mein rehte the aur sab kuch jaldi karte the time par end karne ke liye. Ab baaki ke do workers ko payment karna tha unnko weekly basis par tankhwa dena tha, iss liye Saeed ne Abhi se pucha ke kaise unnka payment karenge. Unnko travelling ke paise alag se dene the plus salary.

To decide hua ke jo ek lakh advance mila hai uss mein se hi payment karenge aur agar Saeed aur Abhi ko bhi zaroorat pade to ussi paise se lene honge, magar Abhi ne kaha ke saath saath account matlab hisaab rakhna hoga ke agle 5 ya 6 mahinon mein kitna expense hue uss ek laakh mein se.

Saeed ne kaha kyunke sab jaante hai ke deal usski hai uss bus ko banaane mein to ussko payment karna chahiye workers ko. Matlab Saeed apna haq chahta tha ke wo boss hai wo payment karega workers ko, Saeed chahta tha ke uss aangan mein sabko pata chale ke wo tankhwa deta hai kaam karne walon ko. To Saeed ne Abhi se kaha ke uss ek laakh mein se 50,000 nikaal kar ussko dein aur Saeed uss mein se har hafte ko payment karega unn do workers ko. Abhi maan gaya aur bank jaakar 50 k nikaal kar Saeed bhai ko de diya. Abhi samajh gaya ke Saeed apna rob jamana chahta tha, wahan par sabke saamne Tony ko aur dusre worker ko payment karega aur khudko boss dikhayega. Abhi ko uss se koyi problem nahin tha ussne paisa de diya Saeed ko. Baad mein Saeed ne Abhi se kaha,

“Tumko bhi paisa chahiye to bolo Abhi main tumko bhi payment karta hoon baaki workers ki tarah!”

Abhi ne yeh socha tha ke baaki ke kaam jaise kiye the donon ne weise hi kaam khatam karne par ek percentage Abhi ko milega aur baaki Saeed lega, iss liye ussne Saeed se kaha ke nahin kaam khatam hone ke baad last day ko adjustment karenge.

Abhi ne socha tha 3 lakh ka deal karwaya ussne to 1 lakh usska hoga aur 2 lakh Saeed ko lene dega aur unn do lakh mein se hi Saeed workers ke payment karenge magar yahan Saeed ne unn paison mein se 50k le liya tha, magar phir bhi Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha.

Subha 9 baj chuke the aur Ruhi nahin dikha tha Abhi ko ke achanak kapde dhone wale pathar par Ruhi dikhi payr dhote hue. Abhi ne socha aaj kapde to nahin dho rahi hai to payr kyun dho rahi hai iss waqt. Ruhi Abhi ko mudhkar dekh rahi thi aur muskura rahi thi. Abhi ne puchna chaha ke kapde nahin hai dhone ko magar door se oonchi awaaz mein to nahin puch sakta tha aur Saturday tha kaam ko jaldi pura karna tha to jaakar baat karna munasib nahin samjha Abhi ne. Abhi ne yeh bhi ghaur kiya ke aaj ghar ke saamne wale hisse ke parde bhi nahin hattaya tha Ruhi ne aur nah hi terrace par jhadu lagaya tha aur nah poncha kiya tha Ruhi ne…..

Abhi ko dispensary injection ke liye jana tha to chala gaya kuch der baad. Jab wapas aya to bus ke uss taraf kaam karna tha jiss taraf ek bada darkhat tha, to wahan lag gaya kaam mein Abhi phir bhi baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekhe jaa raha tha ke kahin Ruhi nah dikh jaaye.

Aur karib 10 baje Abhi ne Ruhi ko ek khubsurat suit mein apne kitchen se nikalte dekha, kaandhe par ek khubsurat handbag thi aur haath mein ek chota sa bag, sajh dhaj ke kahin jaa rahi thi. Kyun ke Abhi bus ke uss taraaf tha, wahan nahin jahan se Ruhi guzri, to Abhi ko saahas nahin hua ke uss taraf se iss taraf aaye Ruhi se baat karne ke liye, wo chahunk gaya kyunke ussne bilkool bhi expect nahin kiya tha ke Ruhi kahin baahar jaegi, kyunke iss baare mein Ruhi ne ussko bola bhi to nahin tha. To Abhi wahin uss darkhat ke paas khada raha Ruhi ko dekhte hue, ussko appreciate karte hue, usski khubsurti jo bahut ziada nikar gayi thi uss suit mein aur usski halki make up mein ziada hi khubsurat dikh rahi thi… yahan tak ke Saeed aur Tony bhi Ruhi ko dekhne lage. Behad khubsurat dikh rahi thi. Ek beauty queen lag rahi thi……. Hua yeh tha nah ke har roz sab ussko gharelu kapdon mein dekhte the aur aaj kahin jaa rahi thi saj dhaj kar to saw gunah ziada khubsurat dikh rahi thi to sabke nazrein uss par pade.

Tony ne apni kehuni ko Abhi se takraate hue dhire se “pheewwww” kiya. Abhi muskuraya Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue. Kaam ruk gaya tha Ruhi ko admire karne ke liye…. Abhi dekhna chahta tha ke Ruhi usske taraf dekhegi ya nahin. Abhi kadha raha usske chehre mein dekhte hue, magar Ruhi ne sar niche jhuka liya tha shayad iss liye ke ussko pata tha ke saare mard ussi ko dekh rahe the….. Ruhi araam se chal rahi thi sar jhukaaye aur jab wo bus ke karib aayi to sar jhuke hue hi the magar uss ne halke se nazron ko teerchi karke bus ke uss hisse par kiya jahan Abhi tha, matlab Ruhi ko weisa karne se sirf Abhi ka haath aur pair dikhe honge. Phir ussne apne honton ko daanton mein dabaya ek halki si Muskaan ke saath aur aage badh gayi.

Jab ruhi ne bus ko paar kar diya, chalte hue aage chali gayi tab Abhi bus ke saamne gaya, aur Ruhi ko piche se dekhne laga, wo kahin jaa rahi thi, uss aangan mein chalte hue jaa rahi thi main road ke taraf… Abhi pray karne laga ke wo mudh kar ek baar to piche dekhe…. Aur main road par nikalne se pehle Ruhi mudi, Abhi ko dekha ussko ddekhte hue, muskuraayi aur chali gayi… Abhi bahot khush hua jiss tarah se Ruhi ne ussko dekha aur muskuraya.

Abhi wapas darkhat ke paas gaya to Tony ne uss se kaha,

“Tum usske piche kyun nahin gaye? Jitna time ussne ne liya yahan se main road tak pahunchne ko tum uss se kitne saare baatein kar lete, puch to lete ke kahan jaa rahi hai kab wapas aegi… dekha nahin wo kitni dhire dhire araam se chal rahi thi? Shayad tumko mauka de rahi thi ke tum uss se baat karne aao! Budhoo ho tum bhi re Abhi!”

Abhi ne socha ke Tony sahi keh raha tha aur kaha,

“Ab bhi to jaa sakta hoon nah? wo bus top tak reach hui hogi nah? to wahin uss se puch sakta hoon nah ke kahan jaa rahi hai!”

Tony ne kaha,

“To jaldi jaa buss agayi to ussko bus ke andar ghuss ke baat karega kia tu?!”

To abhi daudna chaha magar nahin daud paaya kyunke usske payr mein zakham jo tha… phir bhi tez chala aur main road reach hua to dekha ek bus bus stop se ab jaa raha hai aur Ruhi uss mein chadh gayi thi, Ruhi ki ek jhalak dikhi buss!!!

Abhi niraash wapas aya aur Tony ne pucha kia hua to bataya Abhi ne ke wo bus mein baith chuki thi aur bus jaane laga tha!

Saeed ne bhi Abhi jo jaate aur wapas aate dekha to hansste hue kaha,

“kia hua Abhi? Chali gayi wo tujhe akela chorr kar aaj hahahaha!”

Abhi ne munh banaate hue apna kaam jaari rakha. Phir Abhi ne Tony se kaha,

“sala agar mujhe pata hota ke ussko kahin jana hai to injection karwane nahin jata pehle … usske saath chal kar jata dispensary, issi bahane ussko pata chal jata ke mujhe ghav laga hai dhat!”

Tony ne kaha,

“don’t worry yaar, behtar mauke ayenge!”

Aur kaam jaari raha sham 2 baje tak. Abhi ki nazar raaste par tha, uss aangan mein tha har baar dekhte hue ke Ruhi wapas aaye…. Yahan tak ke Abhi ne tony se bhi keh diya ke nazar chawkanna rakhe aur jaise Ruhi wapas aati dikhe to ussko agaah kare. Matlab Tony aur Abhi donon ne nazron ko bithaaye rakhe the…..

Magar Ruhi nahin aayi aur kaam end hua, sab washroom gaye tab bhi Abhi ne Tony se kaha ke baari baari jayenge wash karne, ussko watch karne ko kaha ke Ruhi wapas aaye to ussko bataaye, phir Tony wash karne gaya aur Abhi ne watch kiya magar Ruhi nahin dikhi aur 2.30 ho gaye…. Saeed ne Tony aur dusre aadmi ko salary diye aur sab aangan mein chalte hue jaa rahe the wapas…..

Abhi ka dil ro raha tha kyunke ussko Ruhi ki kami khal rahi thi… kal Sunday hai kaam par nahin ana hai aur ab Monday ko Ruhi dikhegi iss liye Abhi ko ghutan sa feel ho raha tha bina Ruhi se mile wapas ghar jaana. Ussko jaise saans lene mein takliff ho raha tha Ruhi ko sochte hue.

Koyi 3 metres the main road par pahunchne ke liye ke Abhi ke saamne Ruhi nazar aayi wapas aate hue! Tony sab se aaguey tha wo main road reach ho raha tha, aur Ruhi ne jaise ussko paar kiya Tony ne mudhkar Abhi ko haath se Ruhi ko dikhaya hansste hue.

Abhi ka dil machal gaya, chehra laal ho gaya Khushi to hui magar usske samajh mein nahin aya ke ab kia karen, kia kahe! Wahin ruk gaya jahan pahuncha tha aur Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhne laga. Ufff kitni khubsurat dikh rahi thi, had se ziada khubsurat thi yeh ladki Abhi ne mann mein socha. Aur Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekhte hi pehle hanssi, phir sar jhukaate hue honton ko dant mein dabaya aur dhire dhire chalte hue Abhi ke laevel tak pahunchi tab nazron ko uthakar Abhi ko dekha aur aage muskuraate hue badhne lagi. Abhi ne ek lavz bhi nahin kaha buss dekhta raha. Piche se ruhi ke khubsurat baalon ko dekha Abhi ne, kitne lambe baal the usske butt tak reach ho rahe the Ruhi ke baal, aur thickness zabardast the, Abhi ko weise hi baal bahot passand the, usski bachpan wali Ruhi kE baal bilkool weise hi the; baalon ke end bit mein thode ghungraale the…. Ruhi buss muskuraati gayi aur jab Abhi ko pass kar diya to hanss padi. Abhi ne dekha aur sochne laga ke kyun hanss rahi hai, ussko Khushi ho rahi hai mujhko tadpaane mein shaayad. Magar Abhi ka dil ab bahot khush tha. Ruhi koyi 4/5 kadam aage jaa chuki thi tab abhi ne kaha,

“bye, do have a nice weekend my dear!”

Ruhi ne koyi jawaab nahin diya magar mudhkar Abhi ko hansste hue dekha aur aage badhne lagi tab Abhi ne awaaz ko toda ooncha karte hue kaha,

“bad manners again a wish should be replied nah!”

Ruhi palti, hanssi aur apne honton par ungli ko rakh ke ‘sshhh’ kiya aur aage chali gayi…… jiss waqt Ruhi ne weisa kiya to Abhi ne ussko goodbye wave kiya.

Ab abhi ko sukoon mila. Bus stop par Tony ko join kiya aur Tony ne kaha,

“chal ek beer offer karta hoon tujhe aur tumhare Ruhi ke baare mein baat karte hein.

Abhi ne kaha,

“are nahin usske ilaake mein beer nahin pina mujhe sala kissi ne wahan bata diya ke main yahan beer pee raha hoon to baat bigar jaegi!”

Tony ne kaha ke phir apne sheher pahunch kar beer piyenge. Abhi maan gaya aur donon apne sheher jaakar ek bar mein baithe beer pite hue paaye gaye! Abhi khush tha aur Ruhi ke baare mein ghanton bhar baat karta gaya Tony ke saath.

Update 11 Abhi Very Happy​

Sunday ko din bhar Abhi ne apne diary mein sab kuch likha usske aur Ruhi ke baare mein. Apne feelings ko likha, ussko kia feel ho raha hai, kitna pyar karta hai Ruhi se, usske baghair jee nahin paega yeh sab likha Abhi ne.

Usske ghar mein wo apni choti behen jo 18 saal ki thi uss se bahut close tha. Abhi ussko sab kuch batata tha aur apne diary padhne ko deta tha, matlab usski uss behen ko sab kuch pata tha jo beet raha tha Abhi par. Usski behen ka naam tha Naina. Aur ek uss se bhi choti behen thi Abhi ka. Baaki aur 3 bhai the usske. Naina baaki sabko Abhi ke baare mein bata deti thi siwae usske pita ke. Matlab ghar mein usske pita ke ilawa sabko pata tha ke Abhi pyar mein hai Ruhi se.

Abhi ka din Ruhi ki yaad mein guzra hamesha ki tarah aur agle din savere savere pahunch gaya Ruhi ki aangan mein aur aaj bhi Ruhi gulaab tod rahi thi uss din ki tarah.

Iss baar Abhi ruk gaya garden ke saamne Ruhi ko dekhte hue aur good morning kaha. Ruhi weise hi apni Nightgown mein hi thi.

Ek muthi mein kuch gulaab ke phool liye hue the aur dusre haath se aur phool tod rahi thi.

Ruhi ne kuch sharmilee adaa se good morning reply kiya Abhi ko magar bahot hi dhire se. Abhi khada ussko dekhta raha aur Ruhi kabhi ussko dekhti to kabhi mudhkar apne piche ghar ko dekhti ke koyi ussko dekh to nahin raha andar se.

Abhi ne pucha,

“Saturday ko tum kahan gayi thi? Aur mujhko jaane se pehle bataya kyun nahin tha?”

Ruhi muskuraayi, phir hanss padi aur aur apni dheemi, meethi awaaz mein kaha,

“Batana bhool gayi thi Friday ko, uss shaam ko aap chale gaye tab mujhe yaad aya ke aap se kehna bhool gayi thi ke Saturdays ko main ek course follow karne jaati hoon sewing ki.”

Abhi ne heyraan hote hue pucha,

“sewing ki course? Kyun? Silaayi karogi aage chal kar kia?”

To Ruhi ne kaha,

”Aur kia kakrti? 12th ache se pass nahin hui, padhne ko aage mann nahin kiya, to mummy ne kaha silaayi seekh loon shaayad aage kaam ajaye!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“okay achcha bhi hai, magar kidhar gayi thi course follow karne ko? Kahin door kia?”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“West mein jo sheher hai wahan!”

Phir ruhi ne piche mudhkar dekhte hue kaha,

“Aap jao nah ab, aap kyun itne savere aajaate ho? Raat ko sote nahin ho kia? Abhi 6 baje hein kaam to 7 ko start hota hai nah?!”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“Neendh to tumne churra liye hein mere to kaise so paunga main? Aur ek baat batao kia tumko nahin passand ke main itne savere aajata hoon? Kumse kum sabke aane se pehle tumse kuch baatein karne ka mauka to mil jata hai, jaise abhi! Aur sach batao kia tum mujhko abhi expect nahin kar rahi thi? Kia tum abhi abhi mujhi ko nahin soch rahi thi?”

Ruhi hanss pari aur kaha,

“Aap mere khayaalon ke andar dekh sakte ho kia?

Abhi: “hmm isska matlab ke haan mere baare mein hi soch rahi thi tum hai nah? main to 24 ghante sirf tumko hi sochta rehta hoon, ghar se bus mein aate waqt tumhi rehti ho mere khayaalon mein to tumko bhi weisa hi sochna chahiye nah!”

Ruhi: “bilkool jhoot main aap ke bare mein bilkool bhi nahin soch rahi thi”

Aur ruhi hanss padi yeh keh kar, phir kaha,

“Aap jaao nah ab. Mera bada bhai yahin hai ussi ke liye flowers le rahi hoon wo photos leta hai apne camera se….”

Abhi ne tab kaha,

“Aur Saturday ko jab tum jaa rahi thi to ek nazar mujhko dekha bhi nahin nazrein bilkool niche jhuke hue the, mujhko ek nazar dekh to sakti thi nah?!”

Ruhi ne weise hi sharmilee andaaz mein gulaab ke phool ko dekhte hue jawaab diya,

“Main kaise nazar utha kar dekhti uss waqt sab ke nazar mujh par the mujhe maloom tha sab mujhi ko dekh rahe the, I felt very shy at that moment on that day! Magar main ne aap ko dekha tha jaate hue thoda sa. Mujhe pata tha ke aap bhi mujhko hi dekh rahe the.”

Abhi bahut khush hua usski answer se aur baat badalte hue kaha,

“Are haan Manoj bus ki bhi photos le raha tha, main ne dekha tha uss din! Wo professional photographer hai kia? Kaam kahan karta hai wo?”

Ruhi ne phir mudhkar ghar ke taraf dekhte hue reply kiya,

“Ussi sheher mein kaam karta hai jahan main silaayi ke liye jaati hoon, aur wo professional photographer to nahin magar usska shauk hai photos lena, ussko ek inaam mila tha ek baar kissi special photo ki ek photography contest mein!”

Abhi: “oh I See! Kia wo mujhe ek copy bus ki photos ka de sakta hai kia?”

Ruhi: “Ussi se maang lena, wo har roz bus ki photos leta hai, bus kaisa tha aur har roz kitna bus banta jaa raha hai, har roz kuch pics leta hai bus ki!”

Abhi: That’s great, wo mera madad kar raha hai ek tarah se, main zaroor uss se photos manguga last din ko.”

Ruhi: “To aap ko ussko pay karna padega photos ke liye!”

Abhi: “of course pay karunga. Kitna leta hai per photo?”

Ruhi: “pata nahin ussi se puch lena….. ab jao nah please, main nahin chahta hoon ke wo mujhse sawaal kare ke aap kia keh rahe the!”

Abhi: “Are to agar wo puche to keh dena ke main uss se bus ki photos kharidna chahta hoon nah!”

Ruhi ne phir hansste hue kaha,

“Bahot honshiyaar ho aap, turant aap ko ek bahana mil jata hai!”

Abhi: “Main to yahan sirf tumhare liye ata hoon; baaki to kaam to bahana hai sweetheart”

Ruhi: “main aap ki sweetheart nahin hoon kyun kehto aap mujhko sweetheart?!”

Abhi muskuraya aur jaane laga. To Ruhi ne kaha,

“Ruko please!”

Abhi: “kabhi jaane ko kehti ho kabhi rukne ko kia yaar!”

Ruhi ne tab hansste hue kaha,

“Mujhe kehna tha ke din mein kaam karte waqt aap baar baar mujhse baat karne mat ana khaas kar jab Mehboob chacha yahan hota hai!”

Abhi ne heyraan hote hue pucha,

“Are wo kyun? Mehboob ne kuch kaha kia?!”

Ruhi: “Haan baad mein bataungi aap ab jao!”

Abhi ne jaate hue kaha,

“Saturday ko tum Qayamat dhaa rahi thi, beauty queen lag rahi thi, itni khubsurat ho socha nahin tha, tum par to kayi mitte honge mere ilawa hai nah? jab uss sheher mein jaati ho to kitnon par Bijli giraati hogi tum hmmm?!”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“mujhe kia pata? Aap jaise diwane aur honge kahin to main kia jaanun!”

Abhi: “shukar hai ke mere ilawa kissi aur ka pata nahin tumko varna mujhe takliff hoti!”

Ruhi tab thoda zor se hanss padi aur khud apne muhn par haath rakh kar piche ghar ke taraf dekha aur dhire se phussphussaate hue Abhi se kaha,

“Ab jao please baad mein milti hoon! Jab Manoj chala jaaye tab milna!”

Abhi khush hua aur chala gaya washroom ke taraf.

Washroom ke ke kone se Abhi watch karne laga Ruhi ko aur dekha ke wo terrace se hokar ghar ke saamne ke darwaze ke andar gayi tabhi Manoj ki awaaz sunaayi diya yeh kehte hue,

“are ek do katra paani daalo uss rose par nah tab click karunga”

Abhi samajh gaya ke andar Manoj unn gulaabon ki tasveerin le raha tha.

Bus 10 mins baad Manoj kitchen ke taraf se apne bag kaandhe par taange nikla aur Abhi se hello kaha aur jaane laga to Abhi ne ussko roka, aur Manoj ne muskurate hue kaha,

“Are bus miss ho jaegi shaam ko wapas aunga to baat karenge”

Magar Abhi ne kaha,

“to chalte hue baat karta hoon nah chalo tumko bus stop tak chorr ke ata hoon baat bhi kar lenge.”

Ruhi kitchen ke stairs par aa khadi hui Abhi ko usske bhai se baat karte hue sunkar. Abhi ne ussko dekha aur Ruhi Abhi se muskuraayi. Ruhi ko pata tha ke Abhi Manoj se bus ki photos ke baare mein baat karna chahta tha.

Aur jab Abhi aur Ruhi ne ek dusre se muskuraaye to Manoj ne donon ko ek dusre se muskuraate hue dekh kar hanssa.

Phir Abhi Manoj ke saath chalte hue bus stop tak gaya aur ussne Manoj se kaha ke jitney bhi photos wo bus ka lega unn sab pics ke ek copy ussko dein aur pucha ke per photo kitna lega. Manoj ne kaha 10 rupay ek photo ki. Abhi ne kaha okay aur tab manoj ne kaha ke,6 Mahinon mein 300 se ziada pics ho jayenge kia Abhi utna pay kar paega Manoj ne pucha, to Abhi ne kaha ke agar 500 pics bhi hue tab bhi pay karega. To Manoj ne kaha okay deal. Phir turant Abhi ne jeb se 500 rupay Manoj ko advance payment kar diya to Manoj ne kaha ke issi hafte mein pehla roll ko develop karega to jitney bus ki pictures hein wo Abhi ko dega.

Abhi kuch door ka soch raha tha is sliye ussko wo bus ki photos chahiye tha aur ussne Monoj se Saeed ko bataane se mana kiya ke Abhi uss se photos le raha hai. Yeh bhi kaha Abhi ne ke kabhi workers ko nahin lena photos mein, Saeed ko to bilkool bhi nahin lena, agar Abhi ko photos mein liya to koyi baat nahin…..

Yeh baad mein pata chalega ke Abhi ko kyun uss bus ke photos shuru se end tak chahiye tha. Abhi ne abhi se hi bade door ka soch rakha tha. Ek din future mein saare photos usske bade kaam aane wale the.

Abhi wapas aangan mein gaya aur Ruhi ko dhundne laga. 6.30 hua thato usske paas 30 mins tha Ruhi se baat karne ke liye. Washroom se kitchen mein dekha to koyi nahin tha, phir bus ke piche wale hisse se washing stone ke taraf dekha to wahan ke room ka khidki khuli hui dekha… ussko umeed thi ke Ruhi uss kamrre mein hogi…. Kuch himmat karke Abhi chalte hue wahan tak gaya…magar kamre ke andar dekhne ki himmat nahin hui ussko. Bahot ganda lagta kissi ke kamre mein dekhte hue ussne socha…

Ab kyunke Abhi kad ka ooncha tha to ussko sirf kamre mein dekhna tha to sab kuch dikh jata ussko, magar ussne dekha nahin iss niyat se gaya wo uss taraf ke agar Ruhi andar hogi to kum se kum Ruhi to ussko dekh paegi. Aur wohi hua, jaise Ruhi ne Abhi ko uss khidki se guzarte dekha to ussne gala saaf kiya Abhi ko jaise ek ishara kiya ke wo andar hai…. Bed par baithi, haath mein ek kitab liye Ruhi Abhi ko dekh rahi thi muskuraate hue.

Abhi ne ussko dekha, uss kamre a moaena kiya, aur pucha,

“is this your bedroom?!”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“It can’t be called a bedroom, too small, but yes I sleep here, this is my bed.”

Abhi: “you can’t understand how lucky I am feeling to be introduced to the bed and place you sleep. It’s an honour for me.!”

Ruhi: “Ah really? Why so?!”

Abhi: “yessss my dear…. What are you reading?”

To Ruhi ne kitab ki cover ko turn karte hue Abhi ko book ki title dikhaayi, book tha ek Mills and Boon wala romantic tale. Cover ke pic par ek aurat thi semi nude ek bina shirt ke hero se lipti hui.

Abhi ne pucha,

“you love to read romantic stories only or any variety in your choice?!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“nah mujhe sirf romantic hi padhna passand hai, detectives, horror ya police bilkool nahin passand sirf ziada tar mills and boon ya dusre author ke but romantic hi padhti hoon.”

Phir Ruhi ne ek collection dikhaya Abhi ko usski table par. Karib 25 ya 30 books the sab ke sab Mills and Boons collection wale. Abhi ne dekh kar muskuraya aur pucha,

“Abhi hum donon baatein kar rahe hein to ghar ke andar sab sun nahin rahe hein ke tum mujhse baat kar rahi ho?!”

Ruhi ne kaandhe ko uchakte hue kaha,

“To kia hua sunne do!”

Abhi: “tumhari mummy so rahi hai ya jaag gayi hai? Aur tumhare papa ko nahin dekha aaj tak main ne kahan hota hai wo, der raat ko kaam se wapas ata hai kia?!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Mera papa Saudi Arabia mein driving ki Naukri karte hein, wo wapas ane hi wala hai kuch mahine baad!”

Abhi: “oh I see! To tum, tumhari mummy, Manoj aur Mahesh rehte ho yahan!”

Ruhi ne add kiya,

“Dadaji bhi!”

Abhi: “are haan dada ji ko bhool gaya main! Aur buss itne hi members hein tumhare family mein?”

Ruhi: “no, meri ek badi behen hein jisski shaadi ho chuki hai wo yahan se 100 kms ki doorie par rehti hai. Kabhi kabhaar aati hai.”

Abhi: “wow great then to have an elder sis!”

Ruhi: “hmmm yes!”

Abhi: “acha yeh batao ke kyun tumne mujhse kaha ke jab Mehboob present ho to tumse baat nah karun? Kia kaha ussne?!”

Ruhi ne kamre mein piche dekha tab awaaz dhimi karke kaha,

“Mere papa aur Mehboob bhai jaise hein. Mere papa ne ussko hum logon ka khayal rakhne ke liye kaha hai, halaan ke bus ke piche wala ghar mere chote chacha ki hai, matlab mere papa ka chota bhai hai, phir bhi Mehboob mere chacha se badhkar hai. Uss ne meri mummy se pucha ke main aap se kyun baar baar baat karti hoon! To mummy ne wo baat mujhse kaha, to main samajh gayi ke unnko nahin achha lagta jab hum donon baat karte hein issi liye aap se kaha ke usski haaziri mein mat baat karna mujhse se”

Abhi: “okay main samajh gaya, usske saamne tumse baat nahin karunga.”

Ruhi: “are eise nahin, jaise hum abhi kar rahe hein aise mat karna but wahan jab sab koyi ek saath hein agar mummy, Mehboob chacha, Rahima chachi, Mahesh sab saath hein tab you can talk, but not like this alone me and you, samjhe aap?!”

Abhi: “thik hai samajh gaya main, magar ek dusre ko dekh to sakte hein nah, tum nazar aati rehna please.

Main tumko har baar dekhna passand karta hoon. Agar ek ghanta ho gaya aur tum nazar nahin aayi to mujhe bechaini hone lagti hai to please saamne aaya karna hat baar okay?!”

Ruhi: “mujhe pata hai. Issi liye to aati rehti hoon nah!”

Abhi bahot khush hua aur kaha,

“thanks very much darling, ab chalta hoon weh log aane wale hein ab kaam start karna hoga. Aur dekha nah tumne pucha ke main kyun itne savera ajaata hoon, to ab samjhi, hum donon ko baatein karne ke liye kitna time mil gaya hai nah?!”

Ruhi ne haan mein muskuraate hue gardan hillayi.

Abhi jaane laga, phir wapas aya aur pucha,

“How old are you Ruhi? I am 22 will be 23 this year and you?”

Ruhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“ladkiyon ki umar nahin puche jaate, bad manners hihihi”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“ofo pata hai yaar, par main ne apni age bataya nah tumko so please tell me, kahin tum mujhse badi nikli to?!”

Ruhi zor se hanss padi aur kaha,

“haan main aap se badi hi hoon hihihihihi!!”

Abhi ne bhi hansste hue kaha,

“koyi baat nahin agar badi ho bhi to, umar se kia lena dena!”

Ruhi: “Aap ko koyi farak nahin padega agar main aap se umar mein badi hui to?

Abhi: “bilkool bhi nahin iss mein kaun si badi baat hai? Chalta hai yaar!”

Ruhi: “Acha aur aap ko lagta hai ke main aap se umar mein badi hoon kia?!”

Abhi: “bilkool hi nahin, tum 17, 18 ki lagti ho!! are yaar bata to do, 18 ho chuki ya ab bhi minor ho hehehehe!”

Ruhi: “ho chuki….. hmmmm I am over 19! Will be 20 this year!”

Abhi: “great that’s perfect then, ok see you later”

Aur Abhi chala gaya change karne, tab tak baaki ke sab agaye.

Update 12 Shweta​

Uss din, din bhar acha mauka nahin mila Abhi ko wapas thik se Ruhi ke paas jaane ya baat karne ki. Iss liye ke Mehboob din bhar working team ke saath tha. wo kabhi Saeed ke saath khada rehta, to kabhi Abhi ke saath. Donon ko kaam karte hue dekhta aur jaise supervise kar raha tha.

Lagbhag 10 baje Abhi ne ek khubsurat chhoti si ladki ko dekha aangan mein Ruhi ke kitchen ke paas. Uss ladki ki surat Ruhi se kafi had tak milti julti thi. Abhi heyraan hua ke ab wo kaun hai, uss bachi ko Ruhi ke kitchen ke andar jaate dekha phir baahar aate phir Mehboob ke ghar jaate dekha phir aangan mein khelte.

Uss ladki ki shakal bahot milti thi Ruhi se, bilkool usski choti behen lagti thi. Abhi ne socha agar chhoti behen hoti to Ruhi ussko zaroor batati nah? Ho bhi sakta hai ke uski behen hi ho magar Ruhi ne jaan bujh kar nahin bataya, kal Sunday tha to kahin gayi hogi nani ke yahan ya apni badi behen ke yahan ghumne iss liye nahin dikhi thi pichle hafte ko. Abhi aisa soch raha tha ke kuch der baad Ruhi ko bhi uss ladki ke saath khelte hue dekha aangan mein kitchen ke paas.

Phir kuch der baad Abhi ne Ruhi ko bicycle chadhte hue dekha. Abhi ko pata bhi nahin tha ke Ruhi bicycle bhi chadhti aur acha chalaati hai. Pehli baar wo dekh raha tha Ruhi ko bicycle par. EK khubsurat lady bicycle thi jo zaroor Ruhi ki hi thi.

Aur baad mein Ruhi uss chhoti ladki ko apne bicycle par bitha kar main road tak legayi phir ekaat baar aayi aur gayi uss bachi ko apne bicycle par lekar. Aate jaate hue kayi baar Ruhi ne muskuraate hue Abhi ke taraf dekha magar thoda nazrein churaate hue.

Aur kaafi der baad Abhi ne uss chhoti ladki ko ‘didi’ bulaate hue suna Ruhi ko. To Abhi ko yakeen hua ke wo usski chhoti behen hi hai. To Abhi sochne laga ke subha jab Ruhi apni family members ke baare mein bata rahi thi to kyun nahin bola ke usski ek chhoti behen bhi hai…. Yeh chhoti ladki jab Ruhi ki umar ki hogi to Ruhi se bhi ziada kubsurat dikhegi pakka yakeen tha Abhi ko, wohi naak naksha, wohi baal, balke thoda sa ziada lamba hi tha iss bachchi ki baal, chehra jaise parlour se make up karke aayi ho, ek daag ya chedh nahin chehre par, bilkool chikna, gori, meethi aur khubsurat awaaz.

Abhi ghanton bhar uss ladki ko dekhta raha kaam karte hue. Aur sochta raha ke aakhir wo hai kaun?!

Aur lunch time se pehle wo ladki Abhi ke piche khadi hokar chhup rahi thi Ruhi se, taake Ruhi ussko dhunde. To Abhi ne mudhkar ussko dekha aur dhire se pucha

“Tumhara naam kia hai baby?”

“Shweta” bachi ne jawaab diya, aur wohi cute si muskurahat thi usski bhi.

Abhi ne pucha,

“Tum kidhar rehti ho?!”

Ladki ne dhire se phussphusaate hue kaha,

“aap yunhi khade raho nah, varna Ruhi mujhko dekh legi”

Abhi muskuraya, aur Ruhi ke taraf dekha jo stairs par khadi Shweta ko dekh rahi thi Abhi se baat karte hue. Ruhi Abhi se muskuraayi aur thodi si awaaz oonchi karke kaha,

“Shwetu mujhe pata hai tum kidhar chhupi ho main ne tumko dekh liya woohoo!”

Shweta ne Abhi ke pant ko zor se pakar ke kaha,

“main kidhar hoon batao!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Tum Abhi ke piche chhupi ho!”

Ruhi ne jab wo kaha to Abhi ko bahot achcha laga. Abhi ka naam Ruhi ne eise liya jaise wo ghar ka ek sadasya tha, jaise Abhi yahin ka ek member tha, jaise mamooli baat thi Abhi ka naam lena, aur jaise Abhi yahin ka rehne wala hai aur sab ussko jaante hai. Aur Ruhi ne Abhi ka naam jab liya to sab ne suna, Mehboob ne bhi, Saeed, Tony, Vinay ne bhi yahan tak ke Rahima aur Ruhi ki maa ne bhi suna.

Tab Shweta ne dhire se Abhi se pucha,

“Aap Abhi ho?”

Abhi ne ussko pyar se jawaab diya,

“haan baby main hi Abhi hoon isska matlab hai ke Ruhi ne aap ko dekh liya hai.”

Shweta: “Aap Ruhi didi ko jaante ho?”

Abhi: “haan sweetheart jaanta hoon achci tarah se jaanta hoon ussko magar Ruhi aap ka kia lagti hai?!”

Shweta: “wo meri badi didi hai!”

Abhi ne socha ke Ruhi ne uss se kyun chhupaya ke usski ek chhoti behen hai. Phir Ruhi ki awaaz aayi,

“Shweta, ab aajao ya main aaun tumko wahan se lene ko?!”

Shweta aur bhi zor se Abhi ke pant ko pakra usske piche hote hue.

To ab Abhi chahta tha ke Ruhi wahan aakar Shweta ko lejaaye iss liye Abhi ne dhire se Shweta se kaha,

“Baby aap yahin chhupi raho, aur kaho Ruhi se ke wo aakar aap ko lejaaye!”

Tab tak Mehboob ne kaha,

“Are Shweta tum jao nah idhar se, log kaam kar rahe hein tumko choat voat lag sakti hai, idhar mat khelo nah baby!”

Abhi ko ghussa aya Mehboob ki baat ko sunte hue aur Mehboob se kaha,

“Are rehne do nah Mehboob bhai, bachchi hai khelne do koyi khatra nahin hai idhar main dekh raha hoon nah!”

Aur jab Ruhi ne Mehboob ko weisa kehte suna to aane lagi Shweta ko lene ke liye. Tab Ruhi ko aate dekh kar Shweta zoron se hanssne aur chillane lagi,

“nahin, naah, main nahin aungi naah!!”

Ruhi ab Abhi ke itna close tha, ke Abhi ko ussko apne baahon mein bharne ka mann kiya. Abhi ne Mehboob ke taraf dekha to wo ussi ko dekh raha tha, aur jab Mehboob ne dekha ke Abhi ussko dekh raha hai to ussne apne chehre ko ek taraf kiya aur Saeed ko dekhne laga aur uss se baat karne laga tab tak Ruhi Shweta ki haath pakar kar khinch rahi thi aur Shweta chilla rahi thi jaane se inkaar karte hue, Abhi ne phir ek baar aur Mehboob ko dekha, aur dekha ke wo saeed se baat kar rahe hein to Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath pakra, yeh pehli baar hua tha…. pehli baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko chhua tha, Ruhi ne mana nahin kiya balke turant ussne bhi Mehboob ke taraf dekha aur ussne bhi dekha ke Mehboob saeed se baat kar rahe hein to apne haath ko Abhi ke haath mein rehne diya ek pal ke liye….

Wo sab kuch Tony ke saamne ho raha tha to Abhi ne Tony se kaha,

“yaar zara iss taraf ho jao nah taake Mehboob ko iss taraf dikhayi nahin de….”

Tony samajh gaya aur wo beech mein agaya taake Mehboob ko nahin dikhe ke Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath thaama hua tha.

Phir Ruhi ki ek haath ne Shweta ko thaama tha aur usski dusri haath ko Abhi ne thaama tha aur Abhi ne dhire se Ruhi se kaha,

“ek baat kahun!”

Ruhi ne bhi dhire se kaha,

“jaldi kaho, main jaa rahi hoon, haath to chorro nah!”

Abhi ne bade pyar se kaha,

“Tumko baahon mein bharne ko mann kar raha hai!”

Yeh sunte hi Ruhi ne zor se apne haath ko jhatakte hue Abhi ke haath se chhuraaya aur muskuraate hue “shut up” kehte hue zor se hanssi aur Shweta ko lekar jaane lagi…. Jaate hue kayi baar hansste hue mudhkar Abhi ke taraf dekha Ruhi ne.

Uss pal ko Abhi ne itna passand kiya ke ussko laga Ruhi ab usski ho gayi!

Abhi ko Khushi iss baat ki thi ke Ruhi ghussa nahin hui, naraaz nahin hui, balke hansste hue jawaab diya aur hansste muskuraate hue ussko mudhkar baar baar dekhti gayi.

Aur jiss dauraan Ruhi weise muskuraate aur hansste hue Abhi ko dekhti jaa rahi thi to Tony ne bhi dekha aur Mehboob, Saeed aur Vinay ne bhi. Yeh Abhi aur Ruhi ne nahin dekha. Kehte hein nah jo pyar mein hota hai ussko aas paas kuch nahin dikhta sirf usska pyar dikhta hai…. Magar muhabat ke dushman sab kuch dekhte hein.

Ek baat aur hui thi, wo yeh ke jiss waqt Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath pakra tha Shweta ne bhi dekha, aur jitni der uss haath ko Abhi ne thaama tha utni der Shweta ne sab dekha tha, aur baar baar Ruhi aur Abhi ke chehre mein bhi dekh rahi thi bachchi, aur bachchi sahi magar samajh gayi ussi waqt ke Ruhi aur Abhi ek dusre ko jaante pehchaante hein pehle se. Aur iss liye Shweta ke liye Abhi ab ek apna jaisa ho gaya tha to wo baar baar Abhi ke paas aati aur baat karti thi uss din ke baad.

Kuch der baad Tony ne Abhi se kaha,

“yaar Mehboob aur Saeed tum donon ko dekh rahe the, khaas kar jab Ruhi tumse muskura rahi thi, Saeed aur Mehboob ke chehre dekhne laayak the uss waqt.”

Yeh sunkar Abhi ko shock laga aur pucha,

“kia unn logon ne mujhe Ruhi ka haath thaame hue dekha tha?!”

Tony: “nahin tab nahin, jab wo jaa rahi thi aur wo kiss tarah se tumse hanssti hui aur muskuraati hui jaa rahi thi wo dekh rahe the donon aur bilkool khush nahin the yaar! Uss ladki ko sunna padega dekh lena Mehboob zaroor Ruhi ki maa ko kuch to bolega!”

Abhi pareshan hua aur Tony se kaha aaj subha ko hi Ruhi ne uss se akele mein baat karne se mana kiya Mehboob ke saamne! To Tony ne kaha,

“Tab to gadbad hai bhai, bechari ko daant zaroor khana padega aaj!”

Abhi ne socha sala itna hassen lamha tha usske liye, Ruhi bhi shaayad itni khush thi uss waqt ke ussne khud khayal nahin kiya hoga ke Mehboob wahin hai aur Abhi se muskuraate hue wapas gayi ab ussko daant padegi Abhi ke khatir.

Thik 5 minat baad Mehboob apne ghar gaya…. Abhi ko laga wo ab kisi tarah Ruhi ki maa ko contact karega aur Ruhi ko daant padegi; phir Ruhi khafaa ho jaegi aur bilkool baat nahin karegi Abhi se ussko dekhne bhi nahin aegi….. Abhi ne socha shukar hai ke Mehboob ne Abhi ko Ruhi ka haath thaame hue nahin dekha…

Abhi ne ab socha ke wo khud Mehboob se baat karega, ussko bataega ke wo Ruhi ko chahta hai, ussko Ruhi se baat karne de, ussko usske paas jaane se roke nahin….. Abhi soch raha tha kia yeh sahi hoga Mehboob se kehna? Phir socha nahin abhi sahi waqt nahin aya hai wo sab kehne ke liye, pehle Ruhi to pyar ka ikraar kare tabhi Abhi aage badh sakta hai….

Magar Abhi yeh bhi to soch raha tha ke Ruhi to uss se pyar karti hai tabhi uss se chhup chhup kar baat karti hai, ghar ke piche chhup kar milti hai, ishaaron se baat karti hai, ussko khush karne ke liye shaam ko usske saamne rehti hai, yeh sab kyun karti hai kyunke wo bhi Abhi se pyar karti hai nah?

Phir bhi Abhi ne khud se kaha ab time agaya hai ke wo apne pyar ka izhaar kare Ruhi se, wo uss se ab kahe ke wo uss se pyar karta hai aur serious hai, aur wo wapas Ruhi ka pyar paane ki tamanna karta hai….

Phir Abhi ne khud se kaha ke kia yeh sab jaldi nahin ho raha hai? Kia aur thoda wait karna chahiye? Abhi ne socha kariban 5 se 6 mahine tak wahan kaam karne wala hai, abhi ek hafta guzra tha to bahot time hai aage badhne ke liye…..

kum se kum 3 mahinon tak dekhna chahiye ke Ruhi ki rawayya kia hota hai, kia wo pyar ziada dikhaati hai ya mukar jaati hai, kia wo aur kareeb aati hai ya doorie rakhti hai, tab Abhi decide karega ke wo uss se pyar ka izhaar kare ya nahin…..

Abhi ek kashmakash mein tha, usska dil o dimaagh kaam nahin kar raha tha. Dil se sochta to ussko buss Ruhi chahiye tha , ussko Ruhi ko apnana tha kissi bhi kimat par, wo Ruhi ko khona to bilkool nahin chahta tha. Abhi chahta tha ke Ruhi hamesha ke liye usska ho jaaye. Wo Ruhi ko apni patni ke roop mein dekhta tha, chahta tha ke ek din Ruhi ko apni biwi ki tarah issi aangan mein apne ghar se ek damaad ki tarah aangan mein aaye….. usska sapna bada tha.

Abhi Ruhi ko apni bachon ki maa ke roop mein dekhta tha apne tassavur mein. Wo issi aangan mein ek din Ruhi ke saath apne bachon ko khelta hua dekhta tha.

Lunch time hua, Abhi washroom gaya, Ruhi nahin dikhi, ghar ke andar thi. Abhi ne socha ke ab lunch time mein Ruhi ke khidki ke paas jaa kar uss se baat karega aur jaanne ki koshish karega ke kia Mehboob ne usski maa se kuch kaha to nahin.

Magar jab Ruhi se baat karne gaya to Ruhi ne normal baat kiye balke Shweta bhi usske saath thi ussi kamre mein jab Abhi Ruhi se baat kar raha tha. Shweta bhi Abhi se baat kar rahi thi,

Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“tum jhoot bhi bolti ho?!”

Ruhi: “nahin to main ne kab jhoot bola?”

Abhi; “Ek itni pyari si chhoti behen hai kyun nahin bataya tha mujhe? Sirf ek badi behen hai kaha tha subha ko?!”

Ruhi zor se hansste hue boli,

“oh yeh Shweta, haan meri behen hai, cousin sister hai, mere chacha ki beti hai, wahin rehti hai jiss sheher mein silaayi ke liye jaati hoon!”

Abhi chahunk gaya aur kaha,

“are main ne socha tumhari sagi behen hai, kitni milti julti hai tumse? Bilkool tumhari tarah dikhti hai, so beautiful!”

Ruhi: “jhoot! Aap jhoot bol rahe ho, wo meri tarah nahin dikhti!”

Abhi: “Are haan she looks very very much like you, when she grows up, she will look exactly like you believe me!”

Ruhi: “No I don’t believe you, you are saying this only to have a pretext of talking to me isn’t it?!”

Abhi: “Why should I do so Ruhi? Do I need a pretext to talk to you?!”

Tab tak donon ko sunte hue Shweta ne pucha,

“Aap donon kiss language mein baat kar rahe ho? English hai nah?!”

Abhi ne Apne haath khidki ke andar karke Shweta ki gaal ko chute hue kaha,

“yes sweetheart, we are talking in English!”

Ruhi turant boli:

“lo! Issko bhi sweetheart keh diya aap bhi nah!”

Abhi ne tab hansste hue kaha,

“Are bache to sweetheart hote hi hein aur yeh kitni cute hai, hai nah?!”

Ruhi: “hmm aap abhi issko jaante nahin ho pakka shaitan hai yeh!”

Abhi ne tab Ruhi ko bataya ke jiss waqt wo Shweta ko lekar jaa rahi thi ussko dekhte hue Mehboob ussko dekh raha tha, kahin wo usski maa se report to nahin karega aur ussko daant to nahin padegi?!

Ruhi ne kaha ke

“bilkool nahin kyunke uss waqt main sab logon ke saamne thi, hum donon akele nahin the jaise iss waqt hai, to no problem.”

Abhi ko chain aya usski baat sunkar aur Ruhi ko yaad dilaya ke shaam ko saamne rahe usske jaate waqt. Ruhi ne haan kaha, aur ye bhi kaha ke ab wo sone jaa rahi hai to 3 baje tak ussko nahin dhundne ko.

Abhi ko bahot acha laga jab ruhi wo baat kahi to.

Kaam karte waqt Abhi sochta raha ke Ruhi kitni care karne lagi hai usska, ke khud bata diya ke ussko nahin dhudein kyunke wo 3 baje tak nazar nahin aegi. Aur Abhi ne khayal kiya ke 3 baje tak ussne araam se kaam kiya, sukoon se kaam kiya bina usske ghar ke taraf dekhe kyunke ussko pehle se pata tha ke wo so rahi hai. Varna wo baar baar ussko dhundta, usske ghar kek taraf dekhta, ussko dekhne ke liye utaavla rehta…..

Phir shaam ko Ruhi nazar aayi kitchen ke chawkath par baar baar bus ke taraf Abhi ko dekhte hue, khilti hui dikh rahi thi, khush dikh rahi thi, Abhi se muskura rahi thi, aankhon se ishare kar rahi thi, munh banaate hue kabhi kuch kah rahi thi to kabhi haath se ishara karte hue kuch keh rahi thi….. kaam end karne tak Ruhi Abhi se ishaaron mein baat karti rahi…. Ziada tar baatein Abhi samjha hi nahin magar sar hilla kar haan mein har baar jawaab deta raha kaam karte hue…..

Aur Abhi bahot Khushi se uss aangan ko chorra kaam end karne ke baad, Mahesh agaya tha, uss se kuch baatein bhi hui Abhi ki, aur Mahesh, aur usske dada se shake hand karte hue Abhi ne Ruhi ko wave kiya, aur aaj Ruhi ne thoda sa wave bhi kiya Abhi ko muskuraate hue, aur Shweta ko bheja Ruhi ne Abhi ko ek puppy dene ke liye.

Shweta daudti hui kitchen se aayi Abhi ke paas aur kaha,

“babye Abhi, niche jhuko tumko kissy karti hoon Ruhi ne kaha!”

Matlab Shweta ne pol khol diya to Ruhi apne chehre ko haathon mein chhupaate hue hanssne lagi…..

Bus mein ghar lautte waqt Abhi ne socha ke kyun Ruhi ne Abhi ko puppy dene ko bheja? Kia wo khud ek puppy to nahin chahti thi Abhi se usse wave karte samaaye? Ya Shweta ke roop mein Ruhi ne khud kiss kiya Abhi ke gaal par? Aur eisa sochte hue Abhi apne sapnon ki dunya mein kho gaya Ruhi ko dimaagh mein basaaye….

Update 13 The Work Accelerated​

Do hafte baad bus ki base ki frame work ho gaya aur Manoj ne photo liya to aisa tha:

chasis-frame.jpg

Ab iss frame se lekar upar tak baaki ke lohe ko weld karna tha bus ki complete frame banana ke liye…..

Ek mahine tak kuch aisa hi chala Abhi aur Ruhi ke beech. Abhi Ruhi ko paagalon ki had tak pyar karne laga tha. Usske bina jina naamumkin ho gaya tha Abhi ke liye ab. Subha shaam, raat din Abhi ke khayaalon mein ab sirf Ruhi rehti thi. Jaise Ruhi Abhi ki saans lene ki zarya thi, Abhi ki oxygen thi wo. Ghar mein apni behen se sirf Ruhi ki baatein karta, diary mein 100 pages likh chuka tha “The Days I Spent At Ruhi’s Place” wale diary mein. Aur Naina, Abhi ki chhoti behen sab padhti thi uss diary mein.

Jitna kuch guzra tha Ruhi ke saath uss ek mahine mein sab likha hua tha uss diary mein, aur Naina ko sab pata tha.

Naina ne Abhi se Ruhi ki ek photo laane ke liye kaha. Abhi khud kayi dinon se Ruhi se usski ek photo mang raha tha magar Ruhi dene se inkaar kar rahi thi. Aaj ke zamaane mein yeh sab hua hota to seikhron pics le liya hota Abhi ne Ruhi ki hai nah dosto?

Iss ek mahine mein Abhi kuch aur bhi close ho gaya tha Ruhi se. Aksar usski maa saath hoti jab Abhi Ruhi se baat karta. Wo shayad iss liye usski maa weisa karti thi, taake Mehboob ko kehne ka mauka nah mile ke Abhi aur Ruhi akele mein baatein kar rahe the. Aisa Abhi soch raha tha. Magar kabhi kabhi Abhi akele bhi baat karta tha Ruhi se chhup chhupa kar. Kabhi Ruhi normal rehti, Abhi ki har baat ko maanti, shaam ko present rehti Abhi ke jaane ke waqt to kabhi bilkool nahin aati jaise jaan bujh kar Abhi ko tarpaane ke liye. Kissi din Abhi behad khush dikhta to kissi din udaas kaam karta kyun ke Ruhi saamne nahin aati.

Har Saturdays ko kaam 2 se 2.30 ko end hote aur sabhi Saturdays ko Ruhi apni course ke liye jaati aur Abhi ussko bus ke jagah se main road tak ya kabhi bus stop tak chorrne jaata aur usski maa donon ko dekh kar hanssti. Magar jiss Saturday ko Mehboob hota aangan mein tab to Abhi nahin jaa paata Ruhi ke saath, magar ek trick karta abhi, cigarrte kharidne ke bahane jaldi se jata Ruhi se bus stop par milne aur baat karne.

Har Saturdays ko Ruhi ek alag dress pehenti jiss mein wo behad khubsurat dikhti aur Abhi machal jata, aur bhi paagal hota usski khubsurti ko dekh kar. Hona bhi tha har roz Ruhi ghar par apne gharelu kapdon mein Abhi ke samne hoti thi, to jab saj sanwar kar acchhi kapdon mein nikalti to 100 gunah ziada khubsurat to lagni hi thi….

Abhi ko apne dil ki baat kehne ko mann kiya Ruhi se… thoda ghabra bhi raha tha Abhi ke sahi waqt hai kahein ya nahin, ya thode din aur wait karen…. Phir khud se kehta ke nahin aur kuch din intezaar karte hein….. kaam jaldi aage badh raha tha aur ab lagne laga tha ke 4 mahine se pehle hi kaam pura ho jaega, iss liye Abhi ko ab jaldi tha Ruhi se baat karne ke liye….

Uss aagan mein takriban sab ko pata lag chuka tha ke Abhi aur Ruhi ke bich kuch chal raha hai…. Saeed team ke charon ko pata chal gaya tha ke Abhi Ruhi se behad pyar karta hai. Saeed ko bhi pata tha aur Mehboob ko bhi pata tha magar wo anjaan banne ka naatak karta tha. Usski biwi Rahima ko pura yakeen tha ke Abhi Ruhi se pyar karta hai kyunke ussne kayi baar Abhi ko Ruhi se isharon mein baat karte hue dekh liya tha washroom se, aur Rahima ne Ruhi ko isharon se jawaab dete hue bhi dekha tha.

Ab itna pata nahin chala tha ke kia Rahima ne wo sab Mehboob ko bataya tha ya nahin isske baare mein waqt aane par pata chalega.

Shweta weekends mein aati thi aur kabhi 3 ya 4 din baad jaati thi. Mehboob ki beti jo Primary school jaati thi, wo bhi Abhi se hamesha baatein karti thi, chhoti thi, aur jiss din Shweta aur Farzina(Mehboob ki beti) saath khelte to kaafi shor hote the aangan mein…. Donn ladkiyan khelte waqt kayi baar Abhi ke paas aate uss se baatein karte, ussko cherrte, chhute etc…. Aur Ruhi kadhi donon ko dekhti. Kabhi kabhi to koyi baat kehna hota to Ruhi Farzina ko kehti jaakar Abhi se kehne ke liye.

Phir aaye school ki chhutiyon ke din. Der mahina school, college sab bandh, aur saare bache at home. Ruhi ka bhai Mahesh bhi ab har roz at home. Abhi ko ab fikar hone laga ke ussko kitne ache mauke mile the Ruhi se apne dil ki baat kehne ko magar ussne nahin kaha aur ab der mahina aur wait karna padega, aur bus ke upar wale frames bhi weld ho chuke the aur ab bus aisa dikhne laga tha takriban:

bus-frame-manufacture-2.jpg

Ye photo ek example hai aur yeh ek garage ke andar hai, magar wahan Abhi wala chasis par tha aur aangan mein tha peyr ke niche tha.
Abhi aise hi weld karta tha, aur itna ooncha bus ki body ban gaye the ek mahine mein, sab ho gaya tha….

Aur Abhi ko ab lagne laga ke agle der mahinon mein bus ko complete kar diya jaega. To ussko bada fikar hua ke ab der mahina bacha hai usske paas Ruhi se apne dil ki baat kehne ke liye, ya ussko propose karne ke liye… agar der mahine mein kaam end hua to matlab schools resume hone tak bus road par chalne lagega. Abhi ko ab waqt kum dikhne laga…. Ussko fikar hua aur socha ab to Ruhi se kehna padega sab kuch….. magar ussko pata nahin kyun darr sa lag raha tha, ussko darr tha ke Ruhi naah nah karde. Aur yeh bhi soch raha tha Abhi ke yeh bhi ho sakta hai ke Ruhi intezaar kar rahi ho ke kab Abhi ussko propose karega. Abhi ki saansein phul rahe the yeh sab sochte hue. Ussko himmat nahin ho rahi thi Ruhi se yeh kehne ke liye ke wo uss se pyar karta hai.

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

Sab mamool par chal rahe the aur ek din kaam karte waqt har roz ki tarah Abhi ne Ruhi ko kapde dhote hue dekha. Takriban har subha ke 10 baje Ruhi uss pathar par kapde dhote hue nazar aati hi thi aur Abhi uss se isharon mein baat karta tha aur Ruhi bhi thodi chanchal adaa se Abhi ko dekhti aur baat karti. Kabhi kabhi usski maa bhi karib hoti thi Ruhi ke aur wo bhi dekhti un donon ko ishaare se baat karrte hue aur wo buss hanssti aur Ruhi se puchti ke kia keh raha hai Abhi. Abhi ko achchi tarah se pata tha ke Ruhi ki maa ko sab pata hai aur wo encourage karti thi jaise apni beti ko Abhi se weise baat karne ko. Ussko koyi problem nahin thi ke usski beti Abhi ke close jaaye, baat kare ya kuch bhi.

Phir kuch der baad Ruhi dhoe hue kapdon ko sukhne ke liye daal rahi thi taar par aur usski maa andar chali gayi thi to Abhi ka mann kiya ke wo Ruhi se jaakar baat kare…. Aur gaya bhi.

Mehboob bus ke paas hi tha, baaki sab log the. Jab Abhi Ruhi ke paas gaya to Mehboob dekh raha tha. Abhi ne Ruhi ke paas hote hue kaha,

“Ek baat kehni hai tumse Ruhi.

”

Ruhi ne bus ke taraf dekhte hue kaha,

“Aap kyun Mehboob chacha ke presence mein yahan aaye ho? mujhko problems hogi jaao nah please!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Ari mere khayal se to ab sabko pata hai hamaare baare mein nah? Aur tumhari mummy bhi yahin hai nah?”

Ruhi muskuraayi aur kaha,

“kia pata hai sabko hamaare baare mein?”

Abhi: “yeh bhi kehna padega Ruhi?!”

Ruhi: “haan kehna to padega hi nah?

Abhi: “main ne kaha tha nah ke ishara kaafi hota hai to ek mahina ho gaya aur tumko pata nahin kia ab tak?”

Ruhi ne bus ke taraf dekha kapde taar par taangte hue aur weise hi muskuraate hue kaha,

“Ek mahine mein kia hota hai ek saal bhi aisa hi chal sakta hai kyun? Aap ko nahin passand jaisa chal raha hai”

Abhi: “phir usske baad kia hoga?”

Ruhi: “kuch bhi nahin kyun kia hona chahiye?”

Abhi: “Ruhi shaayad der mahinon mein bus complete ho jaega, kaam khatam ho jaega, yahan se main chala jaunga!”

Ruhi ne kuch aisa jawaab diya jiss se Abhi ke dil ko choat pahuncha.

Ruhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“Oh! chale jaoge aap? Uff matlab bala tal jaegi phir”

Ye jawaab sunkar Abhi ka dil baith gaya aur usske paas koyi bhi jawaab nahin tha Ruhi ko dene ke liye. Thoda ghussa bhi aya aur turant wahan se laut gaya bus ke paas.

Ab pata nahin Ruhi ne mazaak kiya tha ya serious thi. Ussne muskuraate, hansste hue kaha tha wo baat, shaayad Ruhi ne hi nahin socha tha ke Abhi wahan se laut jaega. Aur Shayad Abhi ko bina kuch bole wapas lautte hue dekh kar Ruhi ko apni ghalati ka ehsaas hua ke ussne kuch ghalat keh diya aur usski muskurahat udaas chehre mein badal gayi jiss waqt Abhi ke kadam wahan se bus ke taraf badhne lage the.

Abhi bus ki frame ke andar kaam kar raha tha to andar chala gaya, chehra utra hua tha to Mehboob ne pucha,

“kia hua Abhi? Chehra kyun achanak utra hua hai kissi ne kuch kaha kia tujhe?!”

Abhi ne nah kaha aur apne kaam karne laga to Mehboob ne mudhkar Ruhi ko dekha, to iss liye ke Abhi ko pata tha ke wo Ruhi ko dekh raha hoga kyun ke ussne donon ko baat karte hue dekha tha to Abhi ne bhi Ruhi ko dekha aur paaya ke Ruhi ka bhi chehra utra hua tha aur bahot hi sad face se Abhi ke taraf dekh rahi thi kapde tangte hue.

Abhi kaam karte hue badbadaata gaya ghusse mein,

“Main bala hoon? Bala tal jaegi mere chale jaane se? To kyun mere saath hanss hanss kar baat karti hai? Kyun mera intezar karti hi, kyun mujhse baat karti hai?! Achah matlab ussko Khushi hogi mere chale jaane se yeh baat hai!!”

Tony ne pucha,

“are kia ho gaya? Kaun khush hoga tere jaane se?”

Abhi ne Tony se kaha,

“Mere jaane se bala tal jaegi yaar main yahan ziada hoon, kissi ko Khushi hogi jab mera yahan aana band ho jaega!”

Tony ne pucha,

“What? Kia Ruhi ne tujhe aisa kaha kia?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue haan kaha Tony ko. To Tony ne bhi Ruhi ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“are dil pe mat le yaar ussne zaroor mazaak kiya hoga tere se!”

Abhi: “mazaak mein bhi koyi aisa kehta hai kia Tony? Mere dil ke andar ghussi wo baat, bahot takliff hua mujhe usski yeh baat sunkar. Laga ke ek khajar bhonk diye seene mein mere”

Tony ne kaha:

“are bhai dekh wo kitni udaas dikh rahi hai, usska chehra to dekh….”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke taraf dekha, usski aankhon mein dekha ke sach mein bahot udaasi thi, jaise Abhi se sorry keh rahe the usski nazrein,

Tony ne kaha,

“Sun mujhe exactly bata kia hua baat kaise shuru hui aur end kaise hui tab main tujhe bataunga ke ussne mazaak kiya ke nahin bata mujhe!”

Jab Abhi ne puri wakiya sunaya Tony ko to Tony ne kaha,

“Are paagal wo 100% mazaak kar rahi thi, aur tumne ussko koyi jawaab bhi nahin diya bina kuch kahe laut aaye to issi liye wo itni udaas hai dekh to, lagta hai rone wali hai… kia yaar jhagra bhi shuru ho gaye tum donon ke?!”

Abhi ne phir Ruhi ke chehre mein dekha to iss baar shaayad Ruhi bhi khafa hui aur andar chali gayi Abhi ko teerchi nazar se dekh kar!”

Lunch time tak Ruhi nahin dikhi, aur nah Abhi ne ussko dhunda. Ab pata nahin ke ghar ke andar se Ruhi Abhi ko kahin se jhank rahi thi ke nahin yeh sirf Ruhi ko pata hai.

Thik lunch lene jaane se pehle bus ke andar se ek baar Abhi ne Ruhi ke uss khidki ke taraf dekha, to Ruhi khidki par apne donon elbow teke hue nazar aaye bus mein dekhte hue. Abhi ne seedha usske chehre mein dekha, Ruhi ne gaalon ko phulaate hue jaise Abhi ko mock kiya, phir turant apne jeeb nikaal kar Abhi ko mock kiya Ruhi ne…. yeh Abhi ko bahot hi achcha laga, aur kayi baar Abhi ko weise mock karti gayi apne jeeb se… lag raha tha jaise wo Abhi ko manaane ki koshish kar rahi thi….

Lunch ke liye Abhi washroom ke taraf gaya aur Ruhi wahin rahi apne khidki par teke hue. Abhi ko pata tha ke Ruhi wahan usska wait karegi kyunke har roz lunch ke baat Abhi wahan uss se baat karne jaata hai. Magar aaj Abhi nahin gaya usske paas! Ruhi wait karti rahi aur ek baar Abhi aur Tony donon nikle, bus ke paas se guzre, Ruhi khush hui ke Abhi usske paas araha hai magar Abhi aur Tony seedhe chale gaye main road ke taraf, Ruhi wait karti rahi magar Abhi nahin aya lunch time ki break khatam hone tak. Jab 12.45 ho gaye Ruhi ne time dekha to ussko pata tha ke ab work resume karega Abhi to uss se baat nahin karega….. ussne Abhi ko main road se wapas aate dekha, Abhi ne usske taraf sirf ek baar dekha, Ruhi wahi rahi apne kamre ke andar se khidki par lean hote hue, aur Abhi bus ke andar chala gaya aur kaam start kar diya, Ruhi dekhti rahi….. ab jitna ghussa Abhi ko aya tha kuch der pehle uss se ziada ghussa Ruhi ko aayi to ussne khidki bandh kar liya, parde khinch liye, wahan se lounge mein aayi aur saare parde khinch diye aur sone chali gayi….. Abhi ne sab dekha aur chup chap kaam karta gaya kyunke ussko pata tha ke ab Ruhi sone chali gayi hai….

Magar shaam ko kaam khatam karne ke baad jab Abhi washroom gaya to Ruhi nahin dikhi, ghar wapas jaane bhi laga to Ruhi saamne nahin aayi, Abhi wait karta raha magar Ruhi nahin nikli stairs par aur Abhi ko bina Ruhi ko dekhe wapas jaana pada. Ussko ek bhaaripan mehsoos hone laga tha, saans lene mein takliff hone lagi thi, ussne socha lunch time mein ussko Ruhi se baat karne jana chahiye tha tab sab clear kar leta usske saath… Abhi ne kaha ke Ruhi grudge rakhti hai…..

Abhi uss raat ko der tak beer peeta raha Tony se Ruhi ke baare mein baat karte hue, ghar bilkool nashe mein pahuncha tha uss raat ko.

Update 14 Did the Quarrel End? How?​

Subha Abhi late utha. Ziada peene ki vajah se sota raha. 8.30 ko bus mein tha kaam ke liye jaane ko. Yeh pehli baar hua tha jiss din se wahan kaam kar raha tha.

Pahunchne se pehle bus mein jaate waqt Abhi of course sirf Ruhi ke baare mein hi soch raha tha aur kal ke hue wakiye ko…. Abhi ab yeh sochne laga tha ke subha ko sabse pehle kaam par reach hone wala aaj 8.30 ko reach nahin hua hai, aur socha ke Ruhi kia soch rahi hogi 6 baje se 8.30 tak jab ussko wahan nahin dekha hoga to? Abhi sochne laga,

“Kia Ruhi mujhko dhund rahi hogi? 6 baje se meri raah dekh rahi hogi nah? kissi se puchne aayi hogi ke main kyun nahin aya hoon? Are yaar kahin wo yeh nah soche ke iss liye ke ussne kaha tha ke main nahin aunga to bala tal gayi usski; iss liye main nahin aya hoon…..”

Ab Abhi ke dil mein phir se wo baat aayi ke Ruhi ne uss se kaha tha ke usske liye bala tal jaegi agar ussne wahan aana band kar diya to…. Yeh sochne ke baad Abhi ko bus se utarne ka mann nahin kiya, socha ke ab kaam par jaaye hi nahin. Wo abhi tak hurt feel kar raha tha uss baat ko soch kar…. Aur ek pal ke liye Abhi ne socha ke hamesha ke liye issi waqt se wahan jaana band karde aur uss kaam ko chorr de! Tab hamesha ke liye saare lafde khatam!!

Aisa soch to liya dil mein Abhi ne magar wahan pahuchne par bus se uss bus stop par hi utra jahan utarna tha, yaane Ruhi ke ghar ke paas wale bus stop par. 9 bajne wala tha aur tab abhi uss aangan mein chalte hue nazar aya. Saeed aur Vinay bus ke uss side par the jiss taraf wo bada darkhat tha, aur Tony bus ke paas tap one ke paas kuch kar raha tha, abhi washroom pahuncha to Tony usske paas gaya aur kaha,

“are yaar main ne socha tu nahin aega, Saeed ghussa kar raha tha aur bura bhala bhi kehne laga tha tujhe!”

Abhi ne kapde badalte hue aur Ruhi ke kitchen ke andar dekhte hue kaha,

“bhai goli maar Saeed ko aur yeh bata Ruhi nazar aayi ke nahin yaar?!”

Tony: “Abhi wo subha se kayi chakkar laga chuki hai, rone wali surat banaayi hui hai, khud mujhse kayi baar puch chuki ke tu kidhar hai aur usski maa aayi Saeed se puchne ke tu kyun nahin aya aaj!”

Abhi ne shirt pehente hue kaha,

“Really? That’s nice yaar, that’s very good news, magar ab kidhar hai wo ladki mujhe paagal banaane wali?!”

Tony: “Tujhko andar se zaroor dekh rahi hogi aur muskura rahi hogi, tere expression ko read kar rahi hogi ke tu abhi tak ghussa to nahin, ussko pata hoga ke kal tere liye wo saamne nahin aayi to tu ghussa hoga, andar muskuraate hue tujhe dekh rahi hogi. Bahot hi khush ho rahi hogi ke tu agaya hai. Dekna abhi zaroor tere saamne aegi.”

Abhi: “Achah? To bala kaise talegi agar main aata hi raha to?! Ho sakta hai ke yeh bhi keh rahi hogi ke yeh bala phir agaya!”

Tony? “Ab chorr yaar, abhi tak tu uss baat ko dil mein liye baitha hai? Wo tujhse bahot pyar karti hai tujhe paagalon ki tarah dhund rahi thi!”

Abhi: "terrace par jhadu laga diya ussne, poncha laga diya kia?”

Tony: “nahin kuch nahin kiya sirf teri raah dekh rahi hai subha se, usski nazrein sirf main road par aur aate hue bus par rehti thi subha se!

Abhi: “yaar tony to ab kyun nahin dikh rahi hai? Mere saamne aa nahin sakti kia? Marr gayi kia wo?!”

Tony: “are yaar itna ghussa kyun karne laga achaanak tu? Wo sun legi yaar. Kamaal hai udhar Saeed ghussa kar raha hai idhar tu kia ho gaya hai? Kissi ki nazar to nahin lagi hein kahin?!”

Abhi: “bhaad mein jaaye saeed kaun si badi toap hai wo, chal karte hein jo kaam karna hai…..”

Jab Abhi aur Tony bus ke taraf jaane lage to Abhi ko Ruhi ki blue dress ki ek choti si jhalak dikhaayi diya lounge mein hawa se parde ke hillne ki vajah se. Matlab Abhi ko pata tha ke Ruhi ussko andar se dekh rahi thi.

Aur 9.15 ko Abhi ne kaam karna start kiya aur Saeed shuru hua;

“kia hai abhi? Aise kaam kiya jaata hai kia? Subha ke 9.15 ko kaam shuru hota hai kia?

Ek to Abhi pehle se ghusse mein tha Ruhi ki kal wale vyohaar ko lekar aur ab Saeed uss par chilla raha tha to Abhi ne bhi ghusse mein aur oonchi awaaz mein Saeed ko jawaab diya.

Donon mei tutu main main hone laga aur tension badhne lage…. Awaaz door tak sunaayi dene lage donon ke aur dhadpdaate hue Mehboob apne ghar se baahar aya aur donon ko shaant karne ki koshish kiye…. Saeed Abhi ko suna raha tha aur Abhi saeed ko…. Saeed ne ek baar kaha,

“yahan herogiri karne nahin aate hein kaam karne aate hein, Mehboob ne humko kaam karne ke liye paise diye hein flirt karne ke liye nahin, kia karta rehta hai tu kaam karne ke waqt, kia karne jata hai wahan uss washing stone ke paas? Kaam wahan hota hai kia?”

Ruhi aur usski maa sab sun rahe the, aur Ruhi ne apni maa ke chehre mein dekha, udaasi aur darr ke saath….. Ruhi ne kabhi nahin socha tha ke kuch aisa hoga….

Abhi ne Saeed ki uss baat ka yeh jawaab diya chilaate hue,

“kyun be tere gaand mein kyun aag lagta hai agar main wahan jata hoon to? Kaam to pura karta hoon tujh se bahut ziada kaam main ne kiya hai iss bus mein dikhaun tujhko, naap lagayega tum ne kitna kaam kiya aur main ne kitna?”

Mehboob ko pata tha ke Abhi ne bahut ziada kaam kiya hua hai to ussne Abhi ke kaandhe par haath rakh kar ussko ek taraf karne ki koshish kiya, magar Saeed ne bhi oonchi awaaz mein kaha ke ussko bataaye ke kaise Abhi ne ziada kaam kiya hai, to ussi tone mein, ghusse mein Abhi ne kaha,

“yeh dekh shuruwaat yahan se kiya tha main ne front side, jo back side se 50 gunah ziada complicated aur mushkil hai phir bhi tujh se pehle main ne right panel ko banana shuru kar diya aur tu back side par hi laga hua tha, jab main ne front side aur right panel pura kar diya tab jahan tujhko left panel pura karna tha wo bhi uss mein aadha se ziada main ne complete kiya, main ne upar ke kaam bhi aadha se ziada kar diya, to tere mukable 100 gunah ziada kaam kiya hai main ne iss bus mein sala mujhko 2 ghante ki lateness ke liye sunata hai? Main tujhko sunaunga to tere adhe paise mere hone chahiye, suna tum ne mujhe ghussa mat dila varna sab chorr chaar ke chala jaunga yahan se ek to bala banke mandra raha hoon kissi ke liye, nikal hi jaun to achchah hai!”

Abhi itna ghusse mein tha ke Mehboob ussko sambhal nahin paa raha tha, Ruhi aur usski maa terrace par nikal gaye the sab dekhte hue, to Mehboob ko laga ke sirf Ruhi Abhi ko shant kar paegi, to Mehboob ne Ruhi ke maa ke taraf dekha aur ishaare se ussko kuch kaha, aur Ruhi ki maa aayi Abhi ke bazu pakra aur apne terrace ke taraf lejaate hue ahiste aur araam se kaha,

“Idhar chalo aao aao ssshhhh ghussa thuk do aao nah dekho Ruhi tumko bula rahi hai aao nah beta, aisa nahin karte, thand rakho beta…” tab tak chalte hue Ruhi ghar ke piche wale hisse mein jaa chuki thi aur apni maa ko Abhi ko apne saat laate hue dekh rahi thi….

Wo hissa ghar ke piche tha washing stone se thoda door, Ruhi ki aankhe bhar aayi thi kyunke ussne sab suna ke Abhi ne kuch der pehle kaha ke kissi ke liye wo bala ban chuka hai to behtar hai ke sab chorr chaar kar chala jaaye… ruhi apni kahi hui baat par bahot pachta rahi thi aur jaise Ruhi ki maa Abhi ko uss kone mein laaya Ruhi Abhi se lipat gayi rote hue aur Abhi ke peeth par apne komal kalaayi ko ferrte hue Ruhi kayi baar rote hue kehti gayi,

“I am sorry, I am very very sorry, please forgive me, will you? Mujhe maaf kardo Abhi mujhse ghalati hui, mujhe kal wo nahin kehna chahiye tha I am so sorry Abhi!”

Abhi ka jism shake kar raha tha ghusse se, aur jitna zor se Ruhi ne ussko apne baahon mein jakra tha Ruhi usske jism ki wo thartharaahat feel kar rahi thi…. Aur Ruhi khud kaampne lagi rote hue aur maafi maangte hue. Ruhi ki maa sab dekh rahi thi aur apni beti ko rote hue dekh kar wo khud apni aankh se aansoo ponch rahi thi.

Abhi jaise hosh mein nahin tha uss waqt. Usske samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia ho raha hai…. Ussko laga ke sab ek sapna tha… aur ahiste ahiste Abhi ne apne baahon ko uthaya aur Ruhi ke kaandhe par kiya, Ruhi ka badan pura Abhi ke jism se chipki hui thi uss waqt, Aur oonche kad ke hone ke kaaran Ruhi ka sar Abhi ke chaati par tha aur wo Abhi ke dil ki dhadkanon ko saaf sun rahi thi. Ruhi ke donon baahein Abhi ke baazu ke niche se hokar ussko jakre hue the…. Ruhi ke aankhon se ab bhi ashk jaari the, aur jis pal ko Ruhi ne Abhi ke haathon ko apne kaandhe par feel kiya tab usski aankon ke aansoo ruke aur usski maa wahan se wapas terrace par chali gayi aur Mehboob ne uss se kaha ke Abhi ko kuch der udhar hi rehne de taake wo shant ho sake. Ruhi ki maa tab Mehboob aur saeed se baatein karne lage jaanne ke liye ke jhagda kyun aur kaise shuru hua. Dhire se Mehboob ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha ke iss mein Abhi ki ghalati nahin hai ussne sach mein saeed se bahot ziada kaam kiya hai bus mein.

Udhar jab Abhi ke haath Ruhi ke kaandhe par gaye to Ruhi ne apne chehre ko usske chhati par sattaye hue hi kaha,

“Aap mujhe apne baahon mein bharna chahte the nah? Lo bhar liya aapne mujhe apne baahon mein ab khush?!”

Abhi ki saansein tez chal rahe the aur wo thoda hannff raha tha, to Ruhi ne ussi position mein kaha,

“Baap re itna ghussa uff mujhe nahin pata tha aap itne ghusse wale ho, aap to bahot cool aur sweet dikhte the itne dinon se aap ko sambhaalna bada mushkil hai!”

Abhi kuch nahin bol raha tha, jaise ab bhi kisi shock mein dooba hua tha, to Ruhi ko sar upar utha kar Abhi ke chehre mein dekhna pada, aur dekha ke abhi khoya hua hai to kaha,

“Aap ka ghussa mujh par tha nah? Mere wale ghussa aap nikaal rahe the nah? kal se ghussa paal rahe the aap mere khilaaf Abhi? Main nahin dikhi thi iss liye? Main ne saare parde khinch liye the iss liye? Main ne bala tal jaegi kaha tha iss liye? Main ne to buss mazaak kiya tha Abhi, I did not mean it at all! I am so sorry ke mere munh se wo shabd nikal gaye the Abhi. Main kal hi aap ko sorry kehne ke liye wait kar rahi thi lunch time ke waqt magar aap aaye hi nahin main wait karti rahi, to mera bhi mood off hua issi liye main shaam ko nahin nikli thi magar main aap ko andar se jaate hue dekh rahi thi Abhi. Pleaae forgive me nah!”

Abhi ne ek bahot lambi sanns liye jiss se Ruhi ki chaati aage badhi phir piche hue Abhi se chipki hui jo thi. Do jism ek jaan lag rahe the donon uss waqt.

Ruhi ne phir usske seene par apne gaal ko satta diya aur kaha,

“Aap mere liye bala kaise ho sakte ho bhala? Main to chahungi ke aap umar bhar har roz yahan aao aur main aap ko issi aangan mein dekhun zindagi bhar Abhi! ….

Abhi aaj aap meri vajah se late aaye? Bataiye nah, kia aap nahin aane wale the aaj? Meri kal ki kahi hui baat ki vajah se? Pata hai, main aaj subha 4 baje se uth chuki hoon aur aap ki raah dekhti rahi dekhti rahi, socha 6 bajne se pehle ajaoge aaj kyunke kal shaam ko aap ne mujhe nahin dekha tha nah, iss liye main barpaayi karna chahti thi Abhi magar aap aaye hi nahin…. Aap ko pata hai mujh par kia beet rahi thi jab sab log aagaye aur aap nain aaye? Pata hai main ne kitna dhunda aap ko? Main ro pari thi Abhi, main apni maa se saari baatein kehte hue fut fut kar ro rahi thi, maa ko bheja tha saeed ji se puchne ke aap kyun nahin aaye ho, mujhe darr tha ke kahin meri kahi hui baat ki vajah se aap ab kabhi bhi nahin awo…. Main kia karti tab? Aap kyun late aaye aaj abhi? Boliye nah, mujhe sazaa dene ke liye hmm? You were punishing me?!”

Ruhi ki meethi awaaz mein tadap thi, aaj pehli baar jiss awaaz ko sunne ke liye Abhi tarasta tha uss awaaz mein itna tadap mehsoos kar raha tha.

Tab Abhi ne apna sar niche jhukaya, Ruhi ki thudi ko apne ungliyon se apne chehre ke taraf uthaya, Ruhi ke aankhon ne Abhi ke ankhon mein dekha, Abhi ne jhuk kar apne honton ko Ruhi ke honton par rakh diya…. Ruhi apne toes par khadi hui aur Abhi ko kiss karne lagi ziada zoron se Abhi ko jakarte hue….

Abhi ne life mein kabhi kissi ladki ko kiss nahin kiya tha, usske samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kaise kia karein, sirf apne honth ko Ruhi ke honton se takraya tha ussne, magar Ruhi ussko kiss kar rahi thi, Abhi ko ussi pal laga ke ussko kiss karna to ata hi nahin magar Ruhi ko kiss karna ata tha!!

To be continued…. (2450 Words)

Update 15 The Calm Is Back​

Abhi ne life mein kabhi kissi ladki ko kiss nahin kiya tha, usske samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kaise kia karein, sirf apne honth ko Ruhi ke honton se takraya tha ussne, magar Ruhi ussko kiss kar rahi thi, Abhi ko ussi pal laga ke ussko kiss karna to ata hi nahin magar Ruhi ko kiss karna ata tha!!

Ab aaguey….

Ruhi ki chaati Abhi ke seene par dabbe hue the, usski boobs chipke hue the Abhi ke chest par, aur Ruhi ne Abhi ko bade zor se jakra hua tha. Abhi ke saans lene se usski boobs jaise push ho rahe the, Abhi ne sar jhukaate hue usski thodi se Mulayam cleavage dekha, kitni mulaayam tha wo hissa jo Abhi ko nazar arahe the aaj pehli baar wo bhi apni khud ki baahon mein…. Ruhi ko jaise feel hua ke Abhi usski cleavage dekh raha tha, to halke se nazar ko upar kiya Abhi ke chehre mein dekhne ke liye to paaya ke haan Abhi ke aankeh usski seene ke andar hi dekh rahe the to Ruhi ne ek saans lete hue kaha,

“Aap ne nahin bataya ke aaj aap kyun late aaye abhi? Kia wo mujhko punish karne ke liye tha?”

Abhi ne dhire se gehri awaaz mein kaha,

“Tumhara dress maila ho jaega, mere kapde maile hein tum maile kapde par chiipki hui ho Ruhi!”

Abhi to apne working clothes mein tha, maile to the hi, par Ruhi ko koyi parwah nahin tha uss waqt, aur ussne kaha,

“Mere sawaal ko avoid kar rahe ho reply karne ko nah? issi liye dusri baat bana rahe ho Abhi?!”

Abhi ne usski gaal sehlaate hue kaha,

“yeh baat nahin hai Ruhi, mujhe acha nahin lag raha ke iss maile kapde mein tumhare saath iss position mein rahun main apne dusre kapde mein hota to baat aur thi nah.”

Ruhi ne ek Muskaan mein kaha,

“mujhe to koyi farak nahin padta, acha batao ab khush hue aap mujhe baahon mein bhar liya nah?!”

Abhi ne halke se hansste hue kaha,

“baahon mein tumne mujhe bhara hua hai main ne to sirf tumhare kaandhe par haath rakha hai!”

Ruhi ne ussko aur zor se jakarte hue ek bachche ki adaa mein kaha,

“To bharro nah mujhko apne baahon mein jaise main ne aap ko liya hua hai”

Abhi: “iss libaas mein main tumko nahin lena chahta apni baahon mein mujhe odd feel ho raha hai, tumhare kapde gande ho jayenge Ruhi!”

Itna kaha ke Mehboob ki awaaz aur usske kadam unn donon ke taraf badhte hue sunaayi diye, Mehboob yeh kehte hue araha tha,

“Abhi, ghussa thanda hua ke nahin ajao chalo kaam jaari rakho nah bhai!”

Usski awaaz sunkar Ruhi ne jhat se Abhi ko chorrte hue alag hua do kadam, tab tak Mehboob wahan pahunch gaya aur Ruhi se hi pucha,

“issko cool kiya tumne apni baton se nah?!” Aur Abhi ka haath thaam kar Mehboob ne usse chalne ko kaha.

Tab tak Ruhi ki maa bhi agayi Ruhi ke paas aur pucha,

“kia kaha ussne kyun itna late aya aaj?”

Ruhi: “pata nahin maa, mujhe yakeen hai ke meri hi vajah se late aya, ab bhi thoda ukhda ukhda sa hai, hope normal ho jaega kuch der baad, main jaati hoon terrace saaf karne usske aankhon ke saamne to rahungi, kuch der pehle main taras rahi thi ussko wahan dekhne ke liye…”

Ruhi ki maa ne pucha;

“Tumne ussko jakra hua tha, wo bhi mere saamne ussko jakar liya besharaam kahin ki, Mehboob jab aya to tujhko uss position mein nahin dekha nah?!”

Ruhi ne bata diya ke usske aane ke awaaz sunte hi Ruhi Abhi se do kadam door khadi ho gayi thi.

Ruhi chali gayi terrace par jhadu lagaane aur Abhi ko nazron se chorr hi nahin rahi thi. Abhi bhi ussko dekhte hue hi kaam kiye jaa raha tha. Aur Ruhi ussko dekhte hue khud se keh rahi thi;

“Iss aangan mein pehli baar ek naam itna goonji hai ABHI. Iss naam ko main to har roz weise hi sunna chahti hoon.

Iss se pehle kabhi bhi yeh naam mere aangan mein nahin suna tha main ne, jab suna to itna suna ke iss naam ko sune bina raha nahin jata, agar yeh naam iss aangan mein goonjna band ho jayega to mujh par kia guzregi wo main soch rahi hoon aaj!!”

Aur achanak Ruhi ka dil dhadka aur khud se kaha;

“Abhi ne to mujhe ishare se sab kuch keh diya hai halaan ke saaf nahin kaha main usske mann ki baat ko padh chuki hoon, magar main apni baat ussko kaise bataun? Mere baare mein ussko pata chala tab kia hoga? Kaise react karega wo? Chala gaya to main kia karungi? Kyun main ussko dil de baithi? Itne dinon tak to kissi ke saath aisa feel nahin hua tha kyun Abhi se main ne shuru mein hi sab kuch nahin keh diya? Agar ussne socha ke main ne dhoke mein rakah usse tab kia hoga? Maa ne kehne se mana kiya hai, magar mujhe lagta hai ke ussko sab sach sach bata dena chahiye. Aur agar mere baare mein usske gharwalon ko pata chal gaya to koyi bhi accept nahin karega mujhe yakeen hai…. Main maa ko sunun ya apne dil ki? Kia karun main? Hey bhagwaan help me!”

Ruhi ke chehre par udaasi dekh kar Abhi ne ishaare se pucha kia hua, magar Ruhi ne kuch nahin mein sar hillaya.

Unn dinon ek geet mashoor tha jo Abhi aksar gungunaya karta tha aur usske situation par fit lagta tha, Abhi ne uss geet ko seeti bajaate hue gaya, wo Ruhi ke liye hi tha, aur Ruhi ussko pyar bhade nazron se dekhne lagi aur jab Abhi ne gaane ke mukde ko whistle kiya bilkkol sur mein to Ruhi ki Aankhen bhar aaye, gana yeh tha;

“Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna

Do aankeh to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..

Dil mein kab tak karoge basera

Saath kab tak nah chorroge mera

Dharti chorre nah suraj ka phera

Saath chorrenge yun hum nah tera

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna

Do aankhen to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna

Zindagi ka tumhi ho irada,

Yaad rakhoge kia tum yeh wada

Nahin bhulenge hum tumhein aise

Dil nah bhule dharakna jaise

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna

Do aankehn to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna

Jeete hai hum tumhare sahare

Din guzarte hein kaise tumhare

Ab judaayi nah seh payenge hum

Tumse bichde to mar jayenge hum

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna

Do aankeh to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna

Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..”

Iss gaane ko agar aap log issi waqt sunna chaahe to you tube ka yeh link par hai:

Manhar aur Asha bhonsle ke gaaye hue bahot hi mashoor gana tha yeh unn dinon aur har roz subha shaam radio par sunaayi deta tha… har kissi ke zuban par yeh geet hua karta tha unn dinon.

Ab Abhi itna zor se iss gaane ko seeti bajaate hue chala jaa raha tha Ruhi ko dekhte hue ke usski aankhen bhar aayi, wo ro padi aur chali gayi wahan se apna chehra dhone ko.

Khud Abhi ke bhi aankh bhar aaye kyunke wo iss part ko dil mein gaa raha tha seeti bajaate hue

Jeete hai hum tumhare sahare

Dun guzarte hein kaise tumhare

Ab judaayi nah she payenge hum

Tumse bichde to mar jayenge hum

Aur tahjub ki baat yeh thi ke jab Abhi seeti bajaate hue iss part ko dil mein gaa raha tha ussi pal ko Ruhi issi part ko hi dil mein gaa rahi thi, yaane ke yeh part jo female voice mein thi wohi Ruhi gaa rahi thi issi liye ro padi thi

Ab judaayi nah seh payenge hum

Tumse bichde to mar jayenge hum

Yeh kudrat ka Karishma tha ya kia magar hua aisa hi tha….. aur uss din ke baad wahan aakhri din tak kaam karte hue har roz, din bhar Abhi iss gaane ko seeti se oonche sur mein bajata tha… jab kabhi Ruhi nazar nahin aati thi to Abhi ko buss iss gaane ko seeti mein bajana hota tha aur Ruhi daudi chali aati thi usske saamne…. Donon iss gaane se jaise bandhe hue the unn dinon. Ab sochna agar bichde honge to kia haal hota hoga donon ka jab iss geet ko kabhi sunte honge to!! Yun sochiye ke 15 saal baad donon ek dusre se door hai aur iss gaane ko sun rahe hein ussi waqt par alag alag jagah par aur ek dusre ko yaad kar rahe hein to manzar kia hota hoga!! (yeh likhte hue main bahot bhaavuk ho gaya)

Uss din Abhi ka din bahot acha guzra. Saaed bhai aur wo phir se mamooli tarah se baat karne lage jaise ke kuch hua hi nahin tha. Shayad Saeed bhai ne apna kusoor maan liya tha aur ussko pata tha ke Abhi ne bus mein uss se bahot ziada kaam kiya hai.

Ruhi baar baar Abhi ke saamne aati rahi ussko apne jeeb se chidhaati jo Abhi ko behad passand tha…. ab jeeb nikaal kar honton ke beech kuch pointed jaise karke ek ladke ko dikhana isska sexual matlab bhi hota hai aisa Abhi ne socha kia Ruhi ko pata bhi hai ke wo kia ishara karti hai uss tarah se jeeb se usse mock karke? Magar kyunke usski uss adaa se, jiss adaa se Ruhi Weise karti thi wo bahot pyara hota tha iss liye Abhi ko bahot passand tha usska weise karna. Ek baar to Ruhi ne apni maa ke saamne weise jeeb se abhi ko mock kiya. Abhi heyraan reh gaya ke usski maa ne kyun kuch nahin kaha Ruhi ko aur weisa karne diya…. Maa hanss rahi thi jab Ruhi Abhi ko uss tarah se jeeb se mock kar rahi thi… aur weisa mock karna har roz hota raha. Chalta raha ruhi ke taraf se. ruhi khud darrta tha ke kahin kabhi Mehboob, ya saeed nah dekhle Ruhi weisa karte hue….

Ab aate hein kiss wale baat par.

Abhi kaam karte waqt uss kiss ko bhi gehraayi se sochta raha. Kyunke usska pehla kiss tha ussko pata tha ke wo anari tha aut kiss ahi se nahin kar paaya, ussko wo mehsoos hua tha uss waqt ke Ruhi ussko kiss kar rahi thi wo Ruhi ko nahin.

Ab kia Abhi ko pata chala ke Ruhi ne pehle life mein kiss kiya hua hai? Bilkool nahin. Abhi ko kaise pata chalta kyunke ussne life mein aaj pehli baar ek ladki ko kiss kiya, to ussko kia pata ke sahi kiss kaisa hota hai… haan tassavur mein Ruhi ko hi kiss karta hai khayaalon mein to sochta hai honthon ko honton par rakh kar chumte hein jaise gaal ko chumte hein.

Magar usske honthon ko Ruhi chuss rahi thi kiss ke dauraan, balke Abhi ke jeeb ko takriban le liya tha apni munh mein kiss karte waqt….. yeh part Abhi ko bahot accha laga tha magar ussne expect nahin kiya tha ke weisa bhi kiss kiya jaata hoga.

Magar ab, tanhaayi mein jab Abhi soch raha tha to mehsoos kiya ke agar kiss weisa kiya jaaye aur agar usske munh mein Ruhi ka jeeb ajaaye to wo zaroor usske rass ko chuss lega, pee lega…. Aur ab akele mein Abhi soch raha tha ke uss waqt ussko wohi karna chahiye tha magar khud ko hi anari kaha ussne…. Aur Ruhi ki cleavage ko bhi socha Abhi ne aur ussne apne erection feel kiya aur utejina ne ghar kiya usske andar, phir Abhi ne Ruhi ko dekhna chaha ussi pal, to dekha ke Ruhi apni khidki se teke hue Abhi ko bade pyar se dekh rahi thi. Abhi ko ussi waqt Ruhi ko apne baahon mein bharne ka man kiya aur ab Abhi Ruhi ki jism ko dekhna chahta tha ussko mehsoos karna chahta tha apne haath se usski jism ko chhuhna chahta tha. lunch time karib araha tha to Abhi ne Tony se kaha ke wo pani lene jaa raha hai, aur Abhi terrace par gaya, Ruhi ne jab ussko waha dekha to jaldi se baahar aayi, aur Abhi ke saamne apni nili dress mein muskurati hui dekhne lagi. Abhi ab upar se niche Ruhi ko nihaar raha tha aur usski boobs ka form dekh raha tha usski dress ke upar, uss ubhaar ko admire kar raha tha, to Ruhi usske chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“kia hua? Kia dekh rahe ho Abhi?”

Abhi ne kaha,

“tumko phir se weise apne seene se lagaane ka mann kar raha hai, piche aao nah!”

Ruhi ne hansste hue kaha

“paagal ho kia? Dekho Saeed ji aur Mehboob donon bus mein hein weh dekh to nahin rahe magar unn ko pata hai ke tum yahan ho!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“tum behad khubsurat ho aur aaj main ne pehli baar tumko feel kiya, mera mann nahin bhara hai…”

Ruhi ne ussi Muskaan aur apni rijhati adaaon mein kaha,

“Okay milungi piche, tum lunch karne ke baad ana; hamare paas 30 mins tak to honge nah, aur haan cigarrete mat peena varna mujhe kiss nahin karne dungi, samjhe aap Abhi?”

Abhi bahot khush hua aur kaam par wapas gaya... Ruhi ko kiss karne ka, apne baahon mein bharne ko, usski jism ko chaaron taraf feel karne ko sochte hue…..

Update 16 Both Are Getting Closer​

Lunch karne ke baad Abhi ko kuch meetha peena ka, jaise coke ya Pepsi, usske baad cigarrte pine ki aadat thi. Cigarette pina jaise usske liye khaane se ziada zaroori hota tha. Aur Ruhi ne keh diya tha cigarette pee kar mat ana varna wo kiss nahin karne degi. Abhi to kiss karne ke liye nahin ussko baahon mein buss bharne ke liye milna chahta tha magar bina puche Ruhi ne khud kiss wali baat kahi thi to iss baat ko soch kar Abhi ke andar kuch ho raha tha aur Ruhi ki jism ko apne jism se chipkaane ko soch kar utejit hote jaa raha tha khana khaate waqt.

Iss se pehle ke wo lunch end karta Ruhi apni kamre ki khidki ke paas wait karne lagi thi, aur ek mithi strawberry flavour wala sweet munh mein chabah rahi thi wo iss liye ke Abhi ko kiss karne ke liye wo tayyaar thi.

Udhar khana khaate waqt Abhi ne socha ke jaldi se cigarette ka ekaat kasht laga lega phir munh dhokar jaega Ruhi ke paas. To Khana ho gaya Abhi ka to ussne jaldi se thoda juice piya jo ghar se laata tha aur ek cigarette jalaya. Jaldi jaldi kasht laga raha tha to Tony aur saeed ne bhi pucha, ke kyun weise pee raha hai. Abhi ne aadha cigarette peekar baaki ke aadha Tony ko de diya, Tony hamesha Abhi se hi Cigarette leta tha pine ko kyunke usske paas kabhi paisa hota hi nahin tha cigarette kharidne ke liye aur Abhi har roz ek packet jeb mein rakhta tha. aur Abhi ne aaj jo cigarette jalaya tha packet ka last tha, ussko lunch mein jana tha kharidne ke liye magar kyunke abhi Ruhi se milna tha to socha baad mein kharidega.

Tony ne Abhi ka aadha chorra hua cigarette lete hue kaha,

“kyun bhai aaj aadha hi hai mere hisse mein? Har roz to ek full dete ho?”

To vinay ne kaha, “mujhe bhi ek de dete bhai!!”

Phir Abhi munh dhone gaya, soap se munh dhoya, sab ne dekha aur hansste hue Saeed ne kaha,

“are, saboon hai bhai toothpaste nahin, aisa kyun kar raha hai?”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“cigarette ki bhuh ussko nahin passand bhai samjha karo nah!”

Saeed ne hansste hue kaha,

“Oh ye baat hai to phir sahi kiya jo dho liya munh ko andar se, magar meri baat maan kyunke wo cigarette nahin peeti ussko turant pata chal jaega ke tumne abhi abhi cigarette piya hai!”

Abhi saeed ko dekhte hue pucha,

“are bhai saboon se dho diya ab to saboon ke aroma aega nah munh se, ab bhi cigarette ki mehek aegi kia?”

Saeed ne kaha,

“yakeen nahin to jaa baat karke dekh ke ussko pata chalta hai ke nahin!”

Abhi ne tab Tony ko 50 rupay diya aur cigarette kharidne ko kaha aur uss mein se ek Vinay aur ek saeed bhai ko dene ko kaha aur ek apne liye le lene ko kaha.

Aur Abhi ne apne kaam karne wala shirt nikala aur uss shirt ko pehna jiss se subha ghar se bus mein aya tha.

Wo dekh kar saeed ne hansste hue kaha,

“hahahaha launda apni mehbooba se milne jaa raha hai, jaise apni mangitar ke ghar jaa raha hai, abe pant bhi change karle! Aur sun Abhi sirf 30 mins hai tere paas khabardaar agar 1 min bhi ziada udhar spend kiya to haan”

Abhi ne saeed se kaha,

“fikar mat karo 5 mins pehle hi ajaunga bhai”

To saeed ne kaha:

“are nahin mazaak kar raha hoon, pata hai tu late bhi aya to compensate kar dega kaam ko, don’t worry take your time my dear”

Abhi ne tab pucha,

“Really Saeed bhai 10 mins late kiya to chalega?!”

Tony ne saeed ki jagah kaha,

“chaelga bhai tum aaoge to uss 10 mins ke badle 30 mins ka kaam kar doge nah!”

To saeed ne kaha,

“Ek problem hai Abhi, Mehboob dhundega aur puchega to kia kehna hai hamein wo bhi batate jao!”

To Abhi ne kaha,

“are haan phir to 5 mins pehle hi ana padega, Mehboob abhi apne ghar ke andar hai wo zaroor aega thik time par.”

Tab Abhi washroom se nikla aur Ruhi ke kamre ke taraf badha.

Ruhi ne jaise Abhi ko khidki ke paas se guzarte hue dekha to uth kar jaldi se piche wala darwaza khola jo washing stone ki left mein thi aur jo ghar ke piche wale hisse par khulta tha jo bus ke taraf se bilkool nazar nahin ata tha, aur ussi jagah kuch der pehle kiss kiye the donon ne.

Abhi ne aaj tak notice hi nahin kiya tha ke wahan bhi ek darwaza tha, jab Ruhi wahan se nikli tab Abhi ko pata chala uss darwaze ki. Ruhi ne Abhi ke chehre mein dekha, apni jeeb nikaal kar ussko mock kiya aur bina kuch kahe uss se lipat gayi. Iss baar Abhi ne bhi khub kaske Ruhi ko jakra ke Ruhi ki aah nikal gayi.

Donon ek dusre ke baahon mein jakre hue the, Ruhi ka sar Abhi ke chest par tha, aur phir se wo Abhi ki dhadkanon ko sun rahi thi, aur Abhi, Ruhi ke sar ki baalon ki khushbhoo sung raha tha apne chehre ko usski sar par kiye hue. Ruhi ki baahein Abhi ke kamar se hokar usske peeth par hue the aur abhi ke baahein Ruhi ke kaandhon ko apne baahon mein lapeta hua tha. ussi position mein dhire se aur araam se Abhi ne pucha,

“Jiss darwaze se tum nikli wo andar se koyi bhi kholke baahar aa sakta hai nah? Tumhari mummy kidhar hai, Mahesh aur dada ji kidhar hein, wo aagaye to?!”

Ruhi ne usske seene se lage hue hi jawaab diya,

“Aap usski fikar mat karo koyi nahin kholega yeh door. Yeh sirf main aur mummy kholte hein jab hum kapde dhone jaate hein tab.”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke sar ko chum kar kaha,

“Aur mummy ne khola aur hummo iss tarah dekha to?!”

Ruhi, ne abhi ke seene ko shirt ke upar hi chumte hue kaha,

“Wo kuch nahin kahegi. Okay?!”

Abhi ne ek lamba saans liya aur Ruhi ke chehre ko apne haath se sehlaya.

Aur ruhi ne pucha,

“Shirt change kiya hai aap ne? Mere liye? kaun sa perfume use karte ho, kitna acha smell araha hai iss shirt par hmm? You love perfumes Abhi?!”

Abhi: “Soir De Paris” hai Bourgeois wala.”

Unn dinon Bourgeois French make perfumes dunya bhar mein behad mashoor the, dunya ke best perfumes maane jaate the, magar fake bhi hote the imitation wale jo sungh kar hi pata chal jata tha ke wo fake hai magar Abhi ne asli wala Bourgeois lagaya tha. sach mein Abhi ko perfumes ka bada shaukh tha. Wo best hi kharidta tha, toilet soap bhi best chunn kar kharidta halaan ke kum kamaata tha, gharib tha magar usska choise hamesha best hua karta tha, apne pita se zid karta tha paison ke liye unn chizon ko kharidne ke liye kabhi. Ab jab se private kaam karne laga aur thoda paisa aya to of course sabse best hi istemaal karega nah.

Ruhi ne usske shirt ko tatola aur uss jagah naak lagaayi jahan se perfume ki khushbhoo arahi thi, uss waqt Abhi pyar se Ruhi ke chehre mein dekh raha tha aur kaha,

“Tumko passand hai? To main tumko ek exactly yehi perfume dunga ladies wali okay?!”

Ruhi ne munh banaate hue, kuch nakhre wali adaa se ek bachon wali awaaz mein kaha,

“Hmmm nah baba, yeh make jo aap ne kaha mujhe pata hai sab se mehnga perfume hai mujhe itni keemti chizein nahin chahiye!”

Abi ne phir ussi andaz mein pyar se pucha,

“to kia chahiye tumhein?!”

Ruhi: “kuch bhi nahin, buss mujhe aap chahiye!”

Abhi: “Aur mujhe tum chahiye…. Mar jaunga tumhare baghair main!”

Ruhi ne apne ungliyon ko Abhi ke shirt ke button wale hisse ke beech se usske chaati par ferra aur wahan se ek baal ko khincha halke se yeh kehte hue,

“mujhe yahan apna sar rakhna hai abhi!”

To Abhi ne kaha,

“To rakho kiss ne mana kiya hai?!”

Ruhi ne bachkani awaz mein kaha,

“yahan shirt ke buttons lage hue hein issko kholna hai nah!”

Abhi nahin samjha ke wo usske shirt ke buttons ko kholne ke liye keh rahi thi… to kaha,

“tumhi khol ke apna sar wahan rakh lo!”

Aur jiss waqt Ruhi ki patli patli ungliyan Abhi ke shirt ke buttons ko kholne lage, Abhi ne unnki ungliyon ko apne chaati ke baalon par feel kiya aur Ruhi ne apni hatheli ko halke se usske chaati par ferrte hue wahan ek chumban kiya jiss se Abhi ziada hi utejit hua aur usska samaan khada hua jissko Ruhi ne apne peth par mota hote hue feel kiya magar Abhi se satti rahi, wahan se hatti bilkool bhi nahin balke apne peth ko aur dabaya Abhi ke jism se…..

Abhi ki saansein ne raftaar pakre aur dil ki dhadkanein tez hui, phir Abhi ne sar jhuka kar turant Ruhi ke honthon ko chumne laga. Ruhi ne gardan upar kiye hue kiss ko respond kiya magar turant ruki aur kaha,

“Aap ne cigarette piye mere mana karne ke bawajud hai nah?!”

Abhi ka chehre laal hua aur Saeed ki baat ko socha phir Ruhi ko sorry kaha.

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Aap ko chorrna padega cigarette peena Abhi, mujhe nahin passand bilkool, mere family mein koyi nahin peeta, papa, bhai, dada koyi bhi….”

Abhi ne wo kaha jo Ruhi ne bilkool expect nahin kiya tha. Abhi ne usske chehre ko apne donon haathon mein liya aur Ruhi ki Aankhon ki gehraaiyon mein dekhte hue kaha;

“Buss meri ban jao hamesha ke liye chorr dunga peena, umar bar nahin piyunga yeh wada hai mera, aur main wada nibhaane mein awwal hoon!”

Itna hi kaha Abhi ne ke Ruhi rone lagi, usska jism thartharane lagi Abhi ke jism ko jakre hue. Abhi ussko roti dekh kar heyraan hua yeh sochte hue ke kia ussne kahin kuch ghalat to nahin keh diya….

To Ruhi ko hanssaane ke liye Abhi ne kaha ;

“okay okay ro mat thik hai cigarette pina nahin chodunga, aur bhi ziada piyunga ab khush!!”

To Ruhi usska mazaak samajh gayi aur rote rote hanssne lagi Abhi ke chhati par mukka maarte hue…

Phir Ruhi ne kaha,

“Achah agar main kahun ke abhi kaam par wapas jaane ke baad bilkool cigarette nahin pina shaam tak to nahin piyoge?”

Abhi ne ussko aur zor se jakarte hue aur usski donon gaalon ko chumte hue kaha,

“are baba abhi nahin, main ne kaha nah ke pehle tum meri ho jao usske baad chorrunga pina!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke seene ke baalon mein apne ungliyan ferrte hue kaha;

“Aur main aap ki banungi kaise?”

Abhi ne ussko dobara chumte hue kaha,

“jab officially tum meri ho jaogi tab”

Ruhi: “aur wo kaise hota hai?!”

Abhi: “Jab donon taraf ke pariwaar milkar hum donon ko green light denge ke haan hum donon ek ho sakte hein, jiss din main ne tumko ek anguthi pehnaayi ussi din ussi pal se ek bhi cigarette nahin piyunga. Yeh mera wada hai tumse, mard ka wada issko zindagi bhar nibhunga!”

Ruhi ke aankehn phir bhar aayi Abhi ke baton ko sunne se aur kaampte honton se pucha,

“Aur agar tumhare pariwaar wale ne green light nahin diye to?!”

Abhi: “Impossible. Main ne ghar par sabko bata diya hai ke yahan meri Ruhi mili hai mujhe, khaas kar meri chhoti behen ko, Naina, wo wait kar rahi hai ke kab wo din aaye ke wo tumko dekhe aur ussne bhi mujhe tumse ek photo lene ke liye boli hai, yaar ek tasveer to do nah apna!”

Ruhi: “naah, to thik hai aap ko bhi meri photo tabhi milegi jiss din aap smoking hamesha ke liye chorr doge, it’s a deal okay?!”

Abhi ne kuch socha phir kaha,

“okay deal accepted then, magar yaar abhi tum ek ya do photo de deti to official din ke aane tak to main tumhare tasveer ko takiye ke niche rakh kar sota nah!”

Ruhi phir hanssi aur kaha,

“Mujh mein aisa kia hai Abhi ke aap meri tasveer chahte ho, mujhe baar baar dekhna chahte ho, ghar jaane se pehle muhko dekhte hue jaana chahte ho? kia khaas hai mujh mein Abhi?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko iss baar seedhe usske honth ko chumte hue kaha (jab lips ko chuma to Ruhi ne kiss ke form mein apne lips ko kar diya),

“Main bayaan nahin kar sakta kia hai tujh mein Ruhi, magar likh kar de sakta hoon… tumko padhna passand hai nah wo bhi English, to likh kar iss sawaal ka jawaab dunga tumko okay?”

Ruhi muskuraayi aur kaha,

“Aap English mein likhoge?

Abhi: “yeah of course, and you will love to read what I have written!”

Ruhi ne sar upar utha kar abhi ko thoda gaur se dekha aur kaha,

“Aap bahot padhe likhe ho nah Abhi?! Aap bahot intelligent bhi ho, dikhta hai, aap intelligently jawaab dete ho, aap itna padhe likhe hote hue bhi aisa kaam kyun karte ho abhi?!”

Abhi: “lo! Tumne phir iss kaam ko underestimate kiya, tumko nahin pata yeh kaam karne ke liye kitna brain use karna padta hai, it is almost an engineering level of mindset to deal with this job, tum kyun iss kaam ko itna nicha samajhti ho Ruhi?!”

Ruhi: “main nahin samajhti, mummy kehti hai ke yeh kaam thik nahin hai, mujhe to kuch samajh mein nahin ata!”

Abhi “Then don’t talk about my work okay?! Let’s talk about ourselves.”

Ruhi: “You speak English better than me, how far have you studies Abhi?”

Abhi: “not much 12th only.”

Ruhi ki Aankhen chamki aur kaha,

“Really? Me too, but you seem to be much more qualified then me, surely you have had much better marks than I did, main to kayi subjects mein fail bhi hui hihihihi, buss English mein good marks paayi hoon”

Abhi: “mere liye yehi kaafi hai ke tum English samajhti aur bolti ho.”

Ruhi kuch aur bolne jaa rahi thi magar Abhi ne ussko bolne ka mauka nahin diya aur Ruhi ke honth abhi ke honthon se locks ho gaye….. abhi ka haath Ruhi ke peeth par ferrta gaya jiss dauraan wo ruhi ko kiss kiye jaa raha tha woni Ruhi bhi kar rahi thi but ruhi ne muhn open kiya aur iss baar Abhi ne ruhi ki jeeb ko apne jeeb se chhua…. Ussne phir wait kiya ke Ruhi kia karti hai, to ruhi ne abhi se ziada chipakte hue, apne boobs ko Abhi ke chaati par crush karte hue abhi ke jeeb ko apne munh mein lekar almost chussne lagi, Abhi issi ka wait kar raha tha, to iss baar Abhi ne bhi wohi kia, apne jeeb ko Ruhi ke munh se baahar kiya, usski honton par apne jeeb ko ferra… uss time usska bilkool erection Ruhi feel kar rahi thi apne peth par dabba hua, aur Abhi ko awkward feel hua, sharam laga Abhi ko ke usska sex Ruhi ke peth par uss tarah se daba hua hai, phir bhi Abhi ne iss baar Ruhi ka jeeb apne munh mein liya aur usski juice nichorra chusste hue, aur apne sex ko usski peth par thoda ragadhte hue Abhi ne apne tangon ko thoda curb kiya to usska sex Ruhi ke peth ke niche wale hisse par,alomos Ruhi ki yoni ke upar dabba to jhat se Ruhi ne kiss break karte hue kaha,

“sunon they have already started working in the bus…..”

Kitni jaldi 30 mins khatam ho gaye donon ko pata hi nahin chala…. Ruhi ne apne baal ko chehre se ek taraf karte hue abhi ke pant ke upar uss jagah dekha jahan usska erection nazar araha tha, Ruhi ne nazrein churrate hue dekha, magar Abhi ne achchi tarah se dekha ke Ruhi ki nazrein kahan gaye the.

Ruhi ne turant Abhi ke chehre mein dekha aur apni pyari dhime awaaz mein pucha,

“Saeed ji naraz nahin honge aap se nah?”

“Bilkool nahin, kyunke ussko pata hai main tumse milne aya hoon!” Abhi ne jawaab diya, phir ab ussne Ruhi se kaha,

“Ek baar aur baahon mein aao nah jaane se pehle, mera mann nahin bhara!”

Ruhi do kadam aur piche hote hue kaha,

“Aaj ke liye kaafi hai thoda kal ke liye bacha kar rakhna chahiye Abhi ji!” aur hanss di Ruhi ne jaise abhi ko tease karte hue phir apni jeeb se mock kiya abhi ko piche ka darwaza open karte hue.

To abhi ne pucha,

“dekho to zara time kia hua hai?!”

Ruhi ne kamre ke andar time dekh kara ghabraayi hui awaaz mein kaha,

“Abhi 1:10 ho gaya 12:45 ko work resume karte ho nah jao jao ab jaldi jao!”

Abhi bhi ghabra gaya aur jaldi se Ruhi ko ek flying kiss dete hue wahan se wapas gaya bus ke taraf, jahan Tony ne usska working wala shirt aur cigarette ka packet lekar usska wait kar raha tha.

Update 17 A Rival Or What ?​

Unn dinon ko mobile, whatsasp, messenger, twitter, snapchat kuch bhai tha to nahin magar unn dinon ke youngsters kaise communicate karte the? Kia weh log bhi communicate karte ya chat karte the? Ziada door ki baat nahin 1986/87 mein filhaal chal rahi hai yeh kahani. To kia jaise aaj sab communicate karte hein tab hota tha kia?

Haan hota tha, bilkool hota tha. Wo kaise main samjhata hoon. Lagbhag har teenager ka boyfriend hua karta tha tab bhi. Jo college jaate the unnke to hote hi the, baahar ghumne, café mein, library vaghaira mein milte the date par tab bhi. Aur Abhi yehi chahta tha, aisa hi chahta tha ke usski love story chale. Wo chahta tha ek ladki ko passand kare aur iss se pehle ke family walon ko pata chale wo aur ladki mile koyi ek saal tak akele, ek dusre se behad pyar kare, tab apne parents ko bataaye phir engagement kare, tab shaadi. Abhi aisa love story chahta tha apni life mein.

Ab kaise communicate karte the baaki ke youngsters?

Wo hota aisa tha ke unn dinon har newpapers mein ek corner hota tha “PENFRIENDS CORNER” ke naam se. Uss corner mein koyi bhi apna naam aur address likh kar newspaper ko send karta aur usska naam aur address publish hota tha paper mein, aur koyi bhi ussko khat likh sakta tha kyunke usska naam penfriend corner mein aya tha. Teenagers, ladke, ladkiyan, adult, aged log sab uss penfriend corner mein apna naam send karte the, jissko ek saathi ko khat likhna passand tha, new friends banana, desh se bhi aur videsh se bhi.

Uss zarye se bahot saare jodi bane jo aaj shaadi shuda successful couples bhi hein. Ab hota aisa bhi tha ke jiss ladki ka naam uss corner mein aya to ussko 200 se 500 ladke khat likhna shuru kar dete the. Ab ladki ko sab ko reply karna to mumkin hota nahin tha to kuch gine chunon ko reply karti, aur dhire dhire unn mein ek to zaroor passand ata tha…. apne baare mein likha kia karte the, kidhar rehte ho, family members kitne hein etc etc…. sab kuch bolte the apne baare mein. Iss tarah se har kissi ko koyi ek to passand ata hi tha phir apne photos bhi bhejte the chithi ke lifaafe mein. Aaj to whatsap par ek selfie lekar send kar diya jata hai, magar unn dinon postman ka wait karna padta tha chithi aane ka. Ek alag khusi aur mahaul bana rehta jinn logon ke penfriends hote the aur har roz postman ka intezaar kiya jaata tha. Postman ghussa hota aur kehta, “are shaadi karlo tum log ek baar yaar lafda khatam ho har roz aise chitthiyan lane ko mujhe!”

Ab desh bhar mein naujawanon ke beech yeh Silsila chalta tha. well padhe likhe logon ke bich of course.

To Abhi ke bhi penfriends the Ruhi ko jaanne se bahot pehle. Do saal pehle Abhi ne unn sab mein se 3 penfriends se mile bhi the, magar teenon mein se ek bhi Abhi ko personally passand nahin aaye the, to sirf dosti aur writing tak ka naata rakha unn sab se aur dhire dhire ladkiyon ne Abhi ke letters ko reply karna band kar diye kyunke unn ladkiyon ko dusre penfriends mil gaye.

Abhi ke do foreigners penfriends bhi the, ek France se Pascale naam se aur ek Jennifer naam se jo Scotland se thi. Donon ne apni apni tasveerein send kiye the Abhi ko, aur Abhi ne bhi apne pics send kiye the unn donon ko, aur iss saal jinn dinon Abhi Ruhi ke yahan kaam karta tha yeh donon foreigners aur 2 local girls Abhi ke penfriends the. Abhi itna handsome tha ke laldkiyan to ussko passand kar lete the magar Abhi ko koyi passand ata tab nah baat banti? Phir jabse Abhi ne Mehboob ke yahan kaam karna shuru kiya tab se ek bhi penfriend ke khaton ko reply kiya hi nahin tha.

To lifaafe mein chithi ke saath photo share karna aam baat hoti thi unn dinon. Sabhi karte the. Aur aise hi ek din Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha jaise penfriends photo share karte hein kyun wo share nahin karti Abhi ke saath aur kyun ek dusre ko likh nahin sakte? Abhi ne Ruhi ko bataya ke usske bhi penfriends hein foreign mein bhi hai, buss dost hein iss liye Ruhi se apne photo manga magar Ruhi phir bhi nahin maani photos dene ko.

Abhi apne diary mein likhta to kehta ke sala jiss se koyi naata nahin, ziada interest nahin unn ladkiyon ke photos hein usske paas aur jiss se beinteha pyar karta tha usski ek tasveer bhi nahin usske paas.

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

Uss shaam ko ghar wapas jaate waqt Abhi aur Saeed ek hi seat par baithe the bus mein. Abhi ne Saeed se kaha,

“Bhai main beinteha pyar karta hoon Ruhi se bhai. Main uss se shadi karna chahta hoon. I am serious bhai.”

Saeed: “Mujhe pata hai Abhi. Sabko pata hai wahan.

Magar kia ladki bhi tumko pyar karti hai ya aise hi tere saath dillagi kar rahi hai?!”

Abhi: “Karti hai nah bhai bahot pyar karti hai mujhse, wo kaise nahin dikha aap ko bhai?! Aap dekhte nahin har baar mere saamne aa jaati hai, kabhi bhi baat karti hai, har tarah se prove karti hai ke mujhse pyar karti hai, dekha nah lunch time ke baad kitne der tak usske saath tha main?!”

Saeed: “ghar ke piche the tum donon nah? kia kar rahe the utne der tak? Kuch ghalat to nahin kiya nah Abhi?!”

Abhi: ”are nahin bhai, buss kiss kiya ziada kuch nahin!”

Saeed ne ek ajeeb si muskurahat mein kaha,

“kiss karne diya ussne tujhe? Buss itne dinon ke mulakaat mein kiss tak aa gaye tum donon, tab to ladki pahunchi hui hai Abhi, aisa nahin lagta tumko kia?!”

Abhi saeed ka matlab nahin samjha to buss kaha,

“behad chahti hai mujhe wo bhi bhai issi liye nah!”

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

Usske baad kaam par takriban har roz lunch time mein Abhi Ruhi se milta, donon pyar bhare kuch pal guzaarte. Kiss karte. Pyar ki baatein karte…. Yeh ek hafte tak guzra.

Donon ke bare mein din ba din sabko pata chalta gaya, jitney bhi log chaahe ussi angan ke ya baahar ke bhi jo aate the bus dekhne aur ghanton guzaarte the uss aangan mein sabko pata chal gaya tha ke Ruhi aur Abhi ke beech love hai. Sab khule aam ek dusre ko dikhte, aur ab jiada pyar dikhaate to baaki ke saare logon ko dikhta tha, aur danke ke choat par Abhi kehta tha ke wo Ruhi se bahot pyar karta hai aur jald hi uss se mangni karega, phir shaadi.

Aur ek tha wahan Reza, wo Mehboob ke bus mein conductor ka kaam karta tha, Mehboob ke aur 4 buses chal rahe the nah. To jab bhi wo aata aangan mein jaise ussko jalan hota Abhi aur Ruhi ko close dekh kar, yeh Abhi ne notice kiya tha. Reza koyi 23 se 25 ka naujawaan tha. Aur wo uss mohalle ka rehne wala tha aur Ruhi se usski jaan pehchaan thi pehle se kyun ke wahin ka rehne wala tha aur uss aangan mein usska ana jana tha pehle se.

To kayi baar aise ghatnaayein hue jahan kabhi Abhi Ruhi se kuch kehna chahta to Reza bich mein khada rehta, unn donon ko baat nahin karne deta, ya kabhi Ruhi kuch Abhi ko dene arahi ho to wo chiz Reza le leta tab Abi ko deta, ya jab Abhi aur Ruhi terrace ke paas baat kar rahe hote to Reza wahan aakar khada ho jaata aur ek saath baat karta Abhi aur Ruhi se. Abhi ko bahot ghusa ata tha magar kuch kehta nahin tha Reza se. Par Ruhi se kehta tha ke Reza weisa kyun karta hai, to Ruhi kehti ke ussko ignore karne ko kyun ke wo short minded hai, aur sahi mein wo Reza short minded hi tha.

Iss Reza ke baare mein baad mein kuch aur aega issi liye issko yahan introduce karna pada.

Baaki sab mamool par chal rahe the uss aangan mein. Ruhi ab bekaraar rehne lagi thi Abhi ke bina aisa anumaan hota tha kyunke wo had se ziada baahar aati thi, bus ke paas aati, Abhi ko dekhti, uss se muskuraati, jeeb se mock karti, etc. Abhi har roz zoron se seeti bajaate hue wo geet gata “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna”

Abhi ki seeti mashoor ho gayi thi uss aangan mein uss gaane ke sur mein bajte hue. Aur itna zor se whistle karta ke door tak sunaayi deta aur jitney bhi ghar aas paas the sab sunte the aur sabko pata chal jaata tha ke Abhi Ruhi ke liye wo tune ka seeti bajaata hai.

Ek shaam ko Shweta, Farzina aur Ruhi aangan mein ek copy book hath mein liye kuch game khel rahe the, aur Farzina bus mein aayi Abhi ke paas aur ek puzzle likh kar pucha. Abhi ne fatafat jawaab likh kar de diya. Phir baad mein pata chala ke wo puzzle Ruhi ne likh kar diya tha Farzinah ko guess karne ke liye aur Farzina ne Abhi ki help se jawaab paa liya aur jaakar Ruhi ko dikhaya.

Usske baad, Abhi ke kuch puzzles jaise sawaal likhe aur Farzinah ko jaa kar Ruhi se usska jawaab likhne ko kaha. Ruhi ko samajh mein nahin aya. Dada ji wahin aangan mein ek chothe se chair par baithe bachon ko aate jaate dekh rahe the to ek baar ussne copy book manga dekhne ke liye ke kia ussko puzzle ka jawaab aega… ussne bhi try kiya magar nahin mila jawaab. To Abhi ne jawaab likh kar diya farzinah ko jissne Ruhi ko dikhaya…. Kitchen ke stairs se Ruhi Abhi ko haath ke ishaare se keh rahi thi ke wo bahot ziada intelligent hai usske mukable kyunke Abhi ne usske likhe saare puzzle solve kar diye the aur Ruhi ne usske ek bhi sawaal ka jawaab nahin de saka.

Aur ussi waqt aangan mein Reza bhi hta, usske haath mein copy book jata tha, dada ji ke haath, Mahesh kek haath aur mehbob kek haath mein se copy hote hue Ruhi ke paas jaata magar koyi jawaab nahin de paata Abhi ke sawaalon ka.

Iss se yeh saabit hota hai ke uss aangan mein sabhi ko Abhi aur Ruhi ke pyar ke baare mein pata chal chuka tha aur sabhi normal the inn donon ke rishte ko lekar. Kissi ko koyi problem nahin dikh raha tha uss waqt.

November ka mahina start hua aur Mehboob ne Saeed se baat kiya ke kia Christmas tak kaam pura nahin ho sakta aur bus road par nahin chal sakta uss din ko? To Saeed ne Abhi se salaah maanga. Abhi to chahta tha jitney ziada din ho sake wahin kaam kare, magar jiss raftaar se kaam badh raha tha full mumkin tha 25th December tak kaam ko khatam karne ki. To Abhi ko kehna pada ke haan ho paayega. To decide kiya gaya ke Sundays ko bhi ab kaam karne aayenge last day tak.

Wohi kiya gaya November ke start se har Sundays ko bhi kaam par aane lage pura team. Magar Sundays ko bhi Saturdays ki taraf 2 baje end karte the.

Engine laa diya gaya tha, to engine ka mechanic jisska naam tha George, aur usske saath 2 apprentice the, weh log engine par kaam karne lage, aur electrician ko bhi laya gaya tamaan wire works karne ke liye bus mein.

Ab coach building ki andar ka kaam open chorrna tha taake tamaam wiring bus ke panel ke andar se bichaaya jaaye aur har bulb ki entry karna tha ceilings mein jo plywoods ke the…

Usske liye Mehboob ko plywoods kharidna pada, bade bade sheets the jissko usske ghar mein rakhne ke liye jagah nahin thi to ussko Ruhi ke ghar ki lounge mein rakha gaya tha….. Uss din pehli baar Abhi Ruhi ke lounge mein daakhil hua tha unn sheets ko Tony Mehboob aur Reza ke saath milkar carry karte hue sambhaal kar rakhne ke liye.

Jiss waqt Abhi andar gaya Ruhi so rahi thi, do peher ki neendh mein thi aur jiss kamre mein wo thi, lounge se nazar arahi thi. Bed par Ruhi ko uss tarah se sote hue dekh kar Abhi ko kuch hua. Ruhi sote hue itni khubsurat lag rahi thi, wo saans le rahi thi to usski chaati upar niche ho raha tha aur Abhi kuch der khada ussko nihaarta raha… ussko Dekhte hue Abhi Ruhi mein apni patni ko dekh raha tha aur socha ke ek din khud apne kamre mein ussko uss tarah se sote hue dekhega. Abhi ka mann kiya ke ussi waqt jaakar Ruhi ko apni baahon mein bhar le. Bahot pyar araha tha ussko Ruhi par uss waqt, ek masoom pari jaise soyi hui thi bekhabar, apni ussi nili dress mein, usske gaal par halki si hawa ki chalne se usski ek latt gaal ko sehla rahe the, Abhi uss nazaare ko dekh kar emotional hua….. Ruhi ke karib hone ka usska mann kiya, aur jaie ussne aage badhne ko socha to dekha ke Reza bhi usske bagal mein khada Ruhi ko wo bhi dekh raha tha…..

Abhi ko ghussa aya aur kaha,

“Tu kia dekh raha hai?”

Reza: “Wohi jo tu dekh raha hai!”

Mehboob aur tony nikal chuke the tab tak.

Abhi ko, Reza ko ek thapad maarne ka mann kiya magar ghusse par kaabu rakhte hue Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“Abe saale wo meri hai, iss liye main ussko dekh raha hoon, tujhe ussko weise dekhne ka koyi haq nahin hai samjha ?!”

Tab tak Reza baahar nikalte hue Abhi ko jawaab diya,

“Wo kaise teri ho sakti hai be? Sirf tujhse baat karti hai isska matlab yeh nahin ke wo teri ho gayi baat to mujhse bhi karti hai ti uss hisaab se wo meri bhi hai!”

Abhi ko bahot ghussa aya Reza ke jawaab se aur kaha,

“Abe bakwas karna bandh kar, tujhe pata bhi hai ke mere aur usske bich kia Rishta hai?”

Reza: “kia Rishta hai bata? Teri wife hai wo? Teri fiancée hai wo? Tumne usske saath engagement kiya hai? Nahin nah to tu bakwaas karna bandh kar saale ladki ko badnaam karne ata hai yahan?!”

To be continued….. (2450 words)

Update 18 A Special Moment​

“Abe bakwas karna bandh kar, tujhe pata bhi hai ke mere aur usske bich kia Rishta hai?”

Reza: “kia Rishta hai bata? Teri wife hai wo? Teri fiancée hai wo? Tumne usske saath engagement kiya hai? Nahin nah to tu bakwaas karna bandh kar saale ladki ko badnaam karne ata hai yahan?!”

Ab aaguey….

Unn donon ko oonche aawaz mein baatein karte hue sunkar Ruhi ki neendh toot gayi aur wo jaldi se terrace par puchne aayi ke kyun donon discuss kar rahe hein.

Abhi ne kaha:

“Ruhi main tumko badnaam karne aya hoon yahan yeh Reza keh raha hai, bata do kia yeh sahi hai?”

Ruhi ne Reza ke taraf dekha aur haath se ussko rasta dikhaate hue wahan se jaane ko kaha.

Reza jaane laga to Abhi ne kaha,

“Abe sun, ruk nah!”

Reza ruk kar Abhi aur Ruhi ko dekha, aur kaha,

“Ruhi yeh badmaash hai tumko sote hue dekh raha tha abhi lounge se, main ne issko toka to badhak gaya!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ko ek ajeeb nazar se dekha, to Abhi ne Ruhi ko dekha, phir Reza ko dekhte hue kaha,

“saale! Kutte! jhoot kyun bak raha hai, aisa kuch nahin hua tha, Ruhi main samjhata hoon, haan main tummo dekh raha tha magar….”

Ruhi ne beech mein Abhi ko roka aur Reza ko jaane ko kaha. Wo chala gaya to Abhi ne Ruhi se kehna chaha ke wo ussko admire kar raha tha. Magar tabhi Mehboob ne Abhi ko awaaz diya ke kaam pending chal raha hai, ab jaldi, raftaar mein kaam karna hai, to Ruhi ne abhi se kaha,

“Aap jao please varna log aur baat karenge.”

Jaate jaate Abhi ne mudh kar Ruhi se yeh kehta gaya,

“I owe you tis explanation, will explain you what really happened okay?”

Abhi bus ke andar chala gaya, bus ka top ready ho gaya tha, upar ka cover ho gaya tha aur ab bus ke andar dhoop nahin lagta tha.

Ruhi turant ghar ke andar chali gayi.

Kaam karte hue Abhi soch raha tha ke Ruhi shayad uss Reza ki baat ka yakeen kar rahi thi aur shayad Abhi se khafa thi. Iss liye wo Ruhi se uss baat ko clear karna chahta tha. Aagar Ruhi dikh hi nahin rahi thi. Log ziada the ab bus mein kaam karte hue, Abhi ki team, George ki team aur electrician ki team, total 11 log kaam kar rahe uss bus mein ab.

Abhi bus ke andar seats fix kar raha tha uss din. Bus ke seats fit karne ke liye Tony ko bus ke niche hona hota tha kyunke upar se Abhi seats ke legs mein mote wale bolt push karta to bus ke niche Tony ko bolt ki screw ko tight karna hota tha, aur bus ke andar se Abhi ko bolt ke dusre hisse par bolt ki head ko turn hone se rokna padta tha.

Abhi ruhi ko dekhna chahta tha to apne favourite gaane ko whistle karna shuru kiya, ‘pyar karte hein hum…..’

Mamool ke taur par jaise Abhi whistle karna shuru karta, har baar turant Ruhi haazir ho jati thi ya to terrace par ya apni khidki ke paas, magar iss baar 3 mins se ziada ho gaye the seethe bajaate hue aur Ruhi nahin dikh rahi thi. To apna hero bechain hone laga tha.

Phir kuch der baad Tony ne niche se kaha,

“Abhi, jahan kapde dhoti hai wahan dekh, tujhe dekh rahi hai!”

Kyunke Tony bus ke niche tha ussko dikh raha tha magar Abhi bus ke andar tha aur jhuk kar bold ko block kiya hua tha to ussko nahin dikha tha Ruhi. To Abhi ne Tony se wait karne ko kaha kyunke wo Ruhi se milne gaya.

Ab maze ki baat yeh thi ke Abhi ne tony ko Ruhi ko dekhne ko ya dhundne ko to nahin kaha tha, magar Tony ko kia; sabko uss aangan mein pata tha ke jab Abhi uss gaane ko whistle karta hai to Ruhi ko bulata hai aur wo aati hai, weise hi jiss waqt Abhi whistle karne laga bus ke niche se Tony ko pata tha ke Ruhi zaroor ayegi kyunke Abhi whistle kar raha tha, issi liye Tony ne bus ke niche se soch liya ke Abhi ko nahin dikh raha hoga kyunke wo floorings par seats ko fix kar raha hai to jiss jagah Ruhi thi Abhi ko nahin dikhega issi liye ussne niche se Abhi ko bataya ke Ruhi kiss jagah par hai.

George bhi samajh gaya Abhi ki seeti bajaane ka matlab Ruhi ko bulaana tha, ek sadaa tha jisske jawaab mein Ruhi haazir hoti thi, George ke apprentice bhi samajh gaye aur electricians log bhi Abhi ki secret Ruhi ko bulaane ki samajh gaye the.

Abhi jab gaya Ruhi se milne washing stone ke paas, to ussko fikar tha kyunke ussko laga tha ke Ruhi Reza ki kahi hui baat se uss se naraaz ho gayi thi. Magar jaate hue Abhi ne Ruhi ko muskuraate hue paaya to usski jaan mein jaan aayi.

Abhi ne kaha,

“yaar main tumko sote hue dekh raha tha sach hai, magar main tumko buss…..”

Ruhi ne ussko beech mein kata yeh kehte hue,

“Abhi kia main ne aap se koyi explanation maangi?”

Abhi: “Magar tum Reza ki baat ko sunkar disturb hui thi, mujhe laga tum ghalat soch rahi ho mere baare mein yaar!”

Ruhi: “Main disturb hui thi haan, magar iss liye nahin ke aap mujhe sote hue dekh rahe the, iss liye ke wo baat mujhe uss ullo ne kaha! - Aap kyun usske saamne mujhe dekh rahe the?”

Abhi: “Are baba mujhe khud nahin pata tha ke wo mere piche khada tha, Tony, Mehboob lounge se nikal gaye the to main ne socha wo bhi nikal gaya kyunke ussne nikalne ka rasta le liye tha, mujhe nahin pata tha wo nikalne ke baad phir wapas aakar mere piche khada tumko wo khud dekhne laga tha sweetheart issi liye main uss se naraaz hua ke wo kyun tumko dekh raha hai!”

Ruhi: “Really? Wo bhi mujhko dekh raha tha? kia mere kapde sab thik the uss waqt mere jism par Abhi, mera dress upar utha hua to nahin tha nah? kuch dikh raha tha kia?!” itna kehte hue Ruhi ke aankhen bhar aaye the.

Abhi ne Ruhi ko yakeen dilaya ke kuch bhi nahin dikh raha tha wo sahi tarike se soyi hui thi aur gehri neendh mein thi.

Tab Ruhi ne apne seene par haath rakh kar ek lambi saans chorra aur pyar se Abhi se pucha,

“To ab batao aap mujhe kyun ruk kar dekhne lage the?!”

Abhi ne bade khush hote hue kaha,

“Ruhi you were looking gorgeous. Like a very innocent baby in deep sleep, you were looking like an angel. Ek pari neendh mein dikha tha mujhe, main wohi admire karne laga, halki si hawa arahi thi windows se aur tumhare gaal ko tumhaare baal sehla rahe the, aur mujhe tumko ussi pal kiss karne ko mann kiya tha, agar Reza nahin hota wahan to pehle to main uss baal ko tumhare gaal se hattata kyun ke wo tumko disturb kar rahe the phir chumta tumko main!”

Ruhi bade pyar se Abhi ke chehre mein ek muskaan ke saath dekhte hue sun rahi thi aur kaha,

“How romantic, mujhe itne ache se kaise describe kar lete ho aap Abhi? Mujhe kabhi kissi ne iss tarah se describe nahin kiya. To batao tumne wo kiya kyun nahin phir agar mann tha to?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath apne haath mein lete hue kaha,

“kaise karta sweetheart, wohi karne ki gehri tamanna thi magar kaha nah ke wo ulloo wahan khada dekh raha tha, kitna badtamiz hai wo!”

Ruhi: “Ussko ignore karna please wo dimagh ka thoda paidal hai, aur sahi mein badtamiz hi hai wo ussko bachpan se jaanti hoon, just ignore him please.”

Abhi ko relax feel hua ke Ruhi uss se khafa nahin thi. Aur piche mudh kar bus ke taraf ek baar Abhi ne dekha phir Ruhi ka haath khinchte hue ghar ke piche wale hisse par chalne ko kaha yeh kehte hue,

“udhar chalo nah ek baar hug karun zor se tumko!”

Ruhi ne bhi bus ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“Kitne log hein ab bus mein, Abhi aap hug nahin kiss karoge mujhe pata hai, please mat karna bahot log hein aur sab issi taraf dekh rahe hein, koyi bhi jaan bujh kar aa sakte hein, buss ek hug karte hein aur wapas chale jana okay?”

Abhi ne jawaab nahin diya aur Ruhi ko apne taraf khincha thoda zor se aur Ruhi khud usski baahon mein samaa gayi, usske seene se lagte hue, to Abhi ne sar jhuka kar apne honton ko usske hothon se lagaya, to Ruhi ne Abhi ke honthon par satte hue honth se baat kiye,

“hmmmm I told you not to kiss nah….”

Magar uss se ziada nahin keh paayi kyunke Abhi ussko passionately kiss karne laga aur donon ne kuch is tarah se ek dusre ko jakar ke kiss kiye ke donon apne hosh kho baithe uss chumban mein giraftaar hokar.

Aur aaj pehli baar kiss ke dauraan Abhi ka haath Ruhi ke chaati tak reach hua…. Pehli baar Abhi ne uss goal goal mulayam hisse par apne hatheli ko lagaya aur mehsoos kiya uss naram hisse ko jo mardon ko diwana banata hai…. Turant ek jhatke se Ruhi ka haath Abhi ke haath ko thaama ussko rokne ke liye ke wo uss se aur aaguey nah badh sake. Magar phir bhi Abhi ke haath ne halke se daba diya tha Ruhi ki boob ko usske dress ke upar se hi.

Ruhi ne kiss break karte hue laal chehre se pucha,

“kia kar rahe ho aap? Aap ko kuch ziada azaadi mil gayi hai nah Abhi?!”

To Abhi ne Ruhi ko jakre hue hi kaha,

“kyun iss par ab mera haq to banta hai nah? hai ke nahin? These belongs to me now am I right?!”

Ruhi muskuraayi blush karte hue aur thodi si natkhati adaa se kaha,

“No, they do not belong to you still!”

Abhi ne sharaarati andaz mein pucha,

“What does not belong to me?!”

Ruhi: “shut up you naughty!”

Abhi: “bolo nah kia mera nahin hai? Kiss chiz ki baat kar rahi ho batao nah!”

Ruhi ki hanssi nikal padi aur kaha,

“Aap itna naughty bhi ho mujhe nahin pata tha, you naughy wild!”

Abhi ka erection feel kiya Ruhi ne apni peth par, to Abhi ne kaha,

“Aur tumhare peth par abhi kia feel kar rahi ho usske baare mein kuch kehna nahin hai?!”

To Ruhi ne Abhi ko chorr diya aur push karte hue kaha,

“I am going aap bahot hi naughty hone lage ho ab!”

Magar Abhi ne Ruhi ko bade zor se iss tarah se jakra ke Ruhi ko upar utha liya jiss se Ruhi ke peyr ab zammen par nahin the, Abhi ne ussko uthaya hua tha aur ab Ruhi ka sar Abhi ke sar ke level tak agayi thi, aur donon ek dusre ke aankhon mein dekh rahe the aur iss baar to Abhi ka erection Ruhi, seedhe apne yoni ke upar feel kar rahi thi jiss se Ruhi kasmasaa si gayi aur ussne khud apne honton ko Abhi ke honth se lagaya aur aankhen bandh karke Abhi ko kuch iss tarah se kiss kiya ke full sensual kiss feel kiya Abhi ne, aur usska erection Ruhi ke sex par ragdha bhi jiss se Ruhi sihar gayi aur Abhi ke peeth par mukke maarne lagi aur hanffte hue ussko utaarne ko kaha Ruhi ne “uffff” aur “issshhhh…” karte hue. Thoda sa kaampne lagi thi Ruhi uss action ke baad aur usska chehra bilkool laal ho gaya tha…. aur jaise Abhi ne ussko niche utara Ruhi bhaag kar piche ke darwaaze se ghar ke andar ghuss gayi piche mudhkar ek baar Abhi ko apne jeeb se mock karte aur hansste hue.

Update 19 Ruhi Alone At Home​

Agle din, subha 8 baje Abhi ne dekha Ruhi ki maa aur Mahesh kahin jaa rahe hein ache kapdon mein, dikh raha tha ke kahin door jaa rahe honge, ghumne.

Abhi ne khud se kaha ke aaj Ruhi ghar par akeli rahegi? Dada ji to bekaar aise weise pade rehta hai armchair par ya baramde mein ek choti si kursi par.

To Ruhi ghar ke andar bilkool akeli hogi. Iss baat ne Abhi ke dil ke andar kuch paida kiya. Wo mann hi mann sochne laga ke ghar ke piche wale darwaze se agar wo Ruhi ke kamre mein daakhil hua to wo Ruhi ke saath kuch waqt usske kamre mein bita sakta hai. Aur of course Abhi ne socha ke usski bed par Ruhi ko kiss kar papega aur jaise khayaalon mein aksar sochta rehta hai ke kis tarah se Ruhi ko bed par jakarte hue kabhi kiss karega, ussko kaise zor se baahon mein bharte hue caress karega aur ussko thoda tang karega – aisa bahot baar khayaalon mein Ruhi ko lekar Abhi soch chuka tha….

To ab, jab Abhi ko pata chala ke Ruhi akeli hai to usske andar uss sapne ko sach karne ka mann hua.

Subha ko jab aya tha to Ruhi apni yellow night gown mein dikhi thi Abhi ko. Hi hello kiya tha donon ne ek dusre ko.

Aur ek baat thi jo kuch dinon pehle Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha tha, wo yeh tha ke Ruhi ke saare dresses ko Abhi jaanta tha aur Abhi ka favourite ek blouse aur skirt tha jo Ruhi ne sirf ek baar pehna tha jitne dinon se Abhi wahan kaam kar raha tha, to Abhi ne Ruhi se farmaayish kiya tha ke wo uss skirt aur blouse ko phir pehne kyunke wo Ruhi ko uss mein dekhna chahta tha.

Ruhi ke saare dress usski ghutnon ke niche hote the sirf ek yeh wala two-piece tha jisski skirt thik Ruhi ke ghutnon par rukta tha. Skirt black tha aur blouse white chote chote flowers motifs ke saath. Ruhi jitni gori thi uss se uss black skirt mein usski tangein itni khubsurat dikhte the ke Abhi ne jiss din ussko uss dress mein dehkha tha usski nazrein baar baar Ruhi ke tangon par hi jaate the, Abhi ka mann karta tha ke apne ghutnon par aakar Ruhi ke tangon ko chumle.

Ruhi ki maa aur bhai ke jaane ke baad karib 9.30 ko Abhi Ruhi ko dhudne laga aur wo nazar aayi kapde dhote hue washing stone ke paas. Tab wo apni neeli dress mein thi.

Abhi gaya uss se baat karne. Abhi ne pucha,

“Where have they been your mom and Mahesh?”

Ruhi ne pathar par kapde dhote hue reply kiya,

“At my nani’s!”

Abhi: “Your nani? Mother’s mother? Where is that too far or nearby?!”

Ruhi: “nearby? Nahin dear, yahan se 100 kilometres door rehti hai meri nani”

Abhi: “tab to weh log late ayenge nah?”

Ruhi: “haan Mahesh ek hafta wahan rahega, maa ussko chorrne gayi hai shaam ko wapas ayegi.”

Abhi ko buss yehi jaanna tha, andar hi andar Abhi bahot khush ho raha tha aur Ruhi se itna kehkar kaam karne wapas chala gaya ke lunch time mein uss se wahin milne ayega apne corner mein. Ruhi ne okay kaha aur add kiya ke wo kuch der nazar nahi aegi kyunke kapde dhone ke baad wo kitchen ke kaam karegi phir nahane jaegi tab tak lunch time ho jaega ussne kaha lunch time se pehle ussko naha lena hai….

Ab kaam karte waqt Abhi bilkool paagal ho raha tha yeh sochte hue ke jab wo Ruhi se milega to usski baal bheege honge, wo ussko baahon mein jakrega aur usske room ke andar hoga…. Yeh sab soch soch kar Abhi bahot utejit hote jaa raha tha. Abhi ko darr bhi tha ke kahin apna sapna pura nah kar sake, kahin kissi kissam ki rukawat nah aajaaye. Sabhi log bahot busy the bus ke kaam mein , mechanics aur elctricians bhi upar se Mehboob painters logon ko lekar aya tha, magar unn logon ko abhi kaam to nahin karna tha, last ke 3 ya 4 din weh log ayenge. Phir Mehboob ko engine ke liye kuch samaan kharidne jaana pada George ke saath, kaafi door ki ek sheher mein.

Abhi ne tamaam situation ko analyse karte hue socha ke Ruhi ki maa aur bhai bhi nahin hein, mehboob bhi chala gaya aur shaam ko wapas aane wala hai, Abhi ne Socha upar wala ussko aaj behtar mauka de raha hai.

To Abhi gaya Saeed se baat karne.

Ussne kaha ke aaj lunch mein wo shayad ek ganta ziada lega kyunke ussko Ruhi ke saath akele rehna hai. Saeed khush nahin tha, ussne kaha ke kaam itna important phase par aa chuka hai ab ussko kaam par ziada focus karna chahiye to Abhi ne kaha shaam ko 1 ghata ziada kaam karega akele compensate karne ke liye.

Saeed ne pucha 1 ghanta ziada matlab total 2 gante lega lunch time ke waqt, To Abhi ne kaha haan ho sakta hai. Phir Saeed ne pucha kia karega Ruhi ke saath do ghante tak. To Abhi ne kaha,

“Are bhai aaj wo akeli hai aap ne usski maa aur bhai ko jaate nahin dekha subha ko?”

Saeed ne kaha,

“Haan main ne dekha aur tabhi socha ke tu bada khush hoga kyunke aaj wo akeli hai ghar par, magar nahin socha tha ke tu 2 ghante uss ke saath rahega, acha yeh bata do ghante kahan rahega usske saath wahin ghar ke piche do ghante tak khada rahega usske saath tu? Thak nahin ajega?!”

Abhi ne dhire se Saeed ke kaan mein kaha ke wo usske ghar ke andar jaega aaj uss se milne. Saeed hayraan hua aur pucha,

“Kia ussne tujhe andar aane ko kaha?!”

Abhi: “nahin bhai main khud surprise karunga ussko, wo to baahar hi milegi ghar ke piche magar wahan ek darwaza hai to main uss se andar jaane ki baat karunga, aur kia pata khud invite karegi mujhko andar.

Saeed ne kaha,

“Sala Abhi kuch ghalat mat kar dena uss laldki ke saath, soch le hum yahan kaam kar rahe hein agar kuch bura hua to hum badnaam ho jayenge, log humko kaam nahin denge baahar!”

Abhi: “Are Saeed bhai aisa waisa kuch nahin hoga yaar hum pyar karenge aur kia thoda kiss viss hi hoga nah buss!”

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

11 baj chuke the aur Abhi soch raha tha ke ab shayad Ruhi nahane jaa rahi hogi, magar kuch aur hi hua uss waqt.

Kyunke Ruhi ne Abhi se keh diya tha ke wo ziada nahin dikhegi kyunke kitchen mein pakaane ke baad nahane chali jaegi iss liye Abhi ussko nahin dhund raha tha apne kaam mein busy tha bus ke andar, bus ke shishe charon taraf laga diye gaye the aur andar ceiling panels fit kiya jaa raha tha jisske piche electricians wires ko laga rahe the bulbs ke space mein wire ko fir karte hue, matlab Abhi aur electricians ek saath kaam kar rahe the.

Aur ussi waqt senior electrician ne abhi se kaha,

“Abhi shayad tumhari girlfriend tumko bula rahi hai wahan dekho to zara?!”

Abhi ko tahjub hua aur jhuk kar bus se hi baahar dekha to Ruhi terrace par khadi ussko haath ke ishaare se bula rahi thi.

Bus ke andar jitney log bhi kaam kar rahe the sab ne ruhi ko dekha abhi ko bulaate hue, aur saeed ne kaha,

“jaa sala kismat wala hai tu, tujhko aaj zaroor lunch ke liye invite karegi!”

Abhi ne jaate hue kaha,

“Are nahin bhai kuch aur baat hogi, abhi ata hoon dekhun to kia hua, kyun bula rahi hai, aisa to hota nahin ke wo mujhko bulaane ko aaye, zaroor koyi baat hogi.”

Aur jaate hue Abhi soch raha tha zaroor usska plan fail hone wala hai, ya to Ruhi yeh kahegi ke wo kahin jaa rahi hai, ya usske ghar koyi arahe hein ya kissi tarah se bhi wo yeh kahegi ke wo uss se aaj lunch time mein nahin mil paegi, Abhi weise tha to bada positive ladka magar iss waqt sirf negative sochte hue jaa raha tha aur pareshaan tha ke kuch ulta nah ho jaaye.

Jaate hue Abhi Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue bus se baahar nikla, aur dekha ke abhi tak Ruhi ne nahaya nahin tha aur ussi nili dress mein thi jiss mein wo baahar kapde dho rahi thi, Abhi usski chehre ko read karte hue usske taraf badha…. Ruhi muskura rahi thi Abhi ke chehre mein Khushi se dekhte hue, to Abhi ne socha ke nahin kuch ghalat nahin hoga usski mood bilkool sahi hai, kuch Khushi ki baat lag rahi hai kehne wali hai…

Abhi ne usske karib hote hue kaha,

“kia baat hai aaj pehli baar tumne khud mujhko bulaya, thanks very much main bata nahin sakta ke mujhe kitni Khushi hui sweetheart”

Ruhi Abhi ko sunte hue baar baar usske piche bus ke logon ko dekh rahi thi aur sabse pehle kaha,

“Shayad main ne yehi ghalati kardi, dekho nah sab kaise humare taraf hi dekh rahe hein uff!”

Abhi ne mudhkar piche dekha aur oonchi awaaz mein ek funny tone mein kaha,

“Are kia hua yaaro kaam karo tum sab kabhi kissi ladke aur ladki ko baat karte hue nahin dekha kia?!”

Sab ne zoron se hansse aur Tony ne kaha,

“Abhi bhai hero aur heroine ko kaun dekhna passand nahin karta! Wohi dekh rahe hein hum sab! Autograph lene ayenge kabhi!”

Tab Ruhi ne Abhi ka hath pakar kar ussko lounge mein khincha aur dhire se pucha,

“tum aaj lunch mein khaane ke liye kia laaye ho apne ghar se?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Mujhe khud nahin pata kia hai; Naina ne kia dala hai Roti ke saath wo to khane ke time hi pata chalega nah!”

Tab Ruhi ne kaha;

“Main kitchen mein abhi pakaa rahi thi to tumko socha ke kyun nah aaj tumko apni haath ki pakaayi hui kuch khilaun to kia tum aaj mere saath lunch karoge? You are invited for lunch with me do you accept?!”

Abhi ke andar to ladoo phut rahe the Khushi ke maare aur Saeed bhai ki baat ko yaad karte hue kaha,

“Wow, kaise mana kar sakta hoon yaar aaj pehli baar tum invite kar rahi ho aur main nah aaun aisa to ho hi nahin sakta, har roz tumko kitchen mein dekhta hoon to tumhari haath ki pakaayi hui khaane ka bada mann karta hai aur sochta hoon kaash aisa din aaye ke tumhara pakaya hua kuch khaane ko mile mujhe!”

Ruhi ne khushi se muskuraate hue kaha,

“Okay then thik barah baje main piche ka darwaza open karungi tum wahin se aana, wahin ke nal se apne haath munh dho lena main ne soap aur towel bhi wahin rakh diya hai tumhare liye, door andar se lock nahin hoga tum bus andar chale ana tab tak main naha chuki hungi aur wahin lunch karenge main wahin serve karungi tumko thik hai?”

Abhi itna khush hua ke Ruhi ko baahon mein bhar liya aur ussko chumne laga.

Ruhi ne khud ko churraate hue kaha,

“buss buss, ab mere paas sirf ek ghanta hai, abhi cooking complete nahin hui hai, nahana bhi hai ab jao, ek ghante mein milte hein, see you soon.”

Magar Abhi ne pucha,

“but why at the back? Kitchen ya yahan kyun nahin? Aur tumhare dada ji kia kahenge?”

Ruhi ne apne maathe par hatheli dabaate hue kaha,

“issi liye to, Dadaji kitchen mein lunch karte hein nah, to usske saamne to main tumko serve nahin kaarungi, phir bhi ussko pata bhi chala to wo kuch nahin kahega, he is very cool and sweet. And I want it to be personal only you and me!”

Abhi ki Khushi ka inteha nah tha. ussne wapas bus mein jane ke baad Tony se kaha ke jo kuch ussne lunch mein laaya hai aaj sab usska. Aur Saeed bhai se kaha ke wo sahi tha ussko Ruhi ne lunch ke liye invite kiya, aur yeh bhi Khushi se kaha Abhi ne ke aaj wo washroom mein wash nahin karega balke jahan Ruhi kapde dhoti hai wahan khudko wash karega kyunke Ruhi ne intezaam kar rakha hai usske liye.

Saeed aur Tony donon ne kaha,

“Wah beta tu to ghar mein bhi ghuss gaya bina official kiye hi, lucky man!”

Abhi bahot khush tha magar saeed ne kuch aisa kaha jiss se Abhi soch mein pad gaya. Saeed ne kaha,

“Abhi magar kyun jab usski maa, bhai ghar par nahin hai tab invite kiya tujhko, kyun apni maa ki presence mein kabhi nahin bulaya tujhe ussne?”

Saeed ka wo sawaal Abhi ke liye bahot positive baat thi. Abhi ziada khush hua ke Ruhi ne ussko akele bulaya apni maa ki presence mein nahin. Yehi to Abhi chahta tha ke ussko Ruhi ke sath akele mein time spend karne ko mile. Shayad Ruhi bhi aisa hi chahti ho. Abhi shaadi se pehle hamesha se romance chahta tha. Chahta tha ke usski ek love story ho, chahta tha ke apni wife ko wo khud passand kare. Ussko arranged marriage nahin karni thi, to usske liye yeh sab jo ho raha tha full romance hi tha. To Abhi bahot khush tha ke Ruhi ne ussko akele lunch ke liye apne ghar ke andar invite kiya. Ek tarah se Ruhi ne Abhi ke plan ko fail kiya. Abhi chorri se usske ghar mein jana chahta tha, Ruhi ke permission ke bina uss se baat karte hue ussko andar chalne ko kehta magar Ruhi ne khud ussko ussi kamre mein invite kiya jahan wo jaana chahta tha, Ruhi ki bedroom mein, jahan kitaabein rakhe hue hein, jiss room ke khidki ke paas baith kar Ruhi kitabein padhti rehti hai, wahin Abhi jaega Ruhi ke saath lunch karne.

Jab lunch time karib kua, 11.50 ko Abhi, Tony ko legaya aur apni bag se khud ki lunch jo ghar se laaya tha ussko diya aur vinay se share karne ko kaha.

Phir Ruhi ke kapde dhone ki jagah par khud ko wash kiya tab washroom mein jaakar apne kapde ko change kiya. Aaj donon pant aur shirt change kiya, jiss kapde mein bus se travel karta tha ussko pehna aur barah baje gaya ghar ke piche wale darwaze ke paas. Abhi ne soch liya tha ke do ghanta guzarega Ruhi ke saath, kia kia karega Ruhi ke saath usski bed par wo sab soch kar utejit ho raha tha, soch raha tha aaj Ruhi ki dress ke andar ussko dekhega, usski jism ko explore karega, ussko bahot pyar karega, had se aaguey guzar jaega aur Ruhi ussko rokegi nahin kyunke khud Ruhi bhi wohi chahegi uss se….

Update 20 Ruhi Receives Abhi In Her Room​

Abhi ne soch liya tha ke do ghanta guzarega Ruhi ke saath, kia kia karega Ruhi ke saath usski bed par wo sab soch kar utejit ho raha tha, soch raha tha aaj Ruhi ki dress ke andar ussko dekhega, usski jism ka explore karega, ussko bahot pyar karega, had se aaguey guzar jaega aur Ruhi ussko rokegi nahin kyunke khud Ruhi bhi wohi chahegi uss se….

Ab aguey….

Jab Abhi uss ghar ke piche wale darwaze ke paas khada hua andar jaane ke liye to ussko himmat nahin ho raha tha darwaze ke kholne ke liye. Lakdi ka bana darwaza tha, Pura ghar lakdi aur tin ka tha, bada ghar tha, saamne wala chota sa lounge ke saamne se bahot saare shishe the, bich mein lakdi ka darwaza jissme aadha shisha tha aur baaki ke niche lakdi. Saamne safed rang ka tha sab kuch aur kitchen ka darwaza bhi lakdi ka aur harra rang ka tha aur wo piche wala darwaza bhi hare rang ka tha. Best quality ke lakdi the jisse carpenters ne specially darwaze ke liye hi select kiye the. Unn dinon bahot saare ghar hua karte the uss tarah ke. Aur jinnke paas concrete blocks wale ghar hote the weh log ya to ziada amir hote the ya special sarkaari daftar mein kaam karne waale log. Sabhi mamooli logon ke ghar lakdi aur tin ke hi hua karte the, chhatt tin ka bana hua hota tha magar look bahot dilkasht hote the unn gharon ke aur mazbut ghar hote the. Ek pehchaan hota tha logon ke gharon se. Jinn logon ke ghar concrete ke hote the to unn logon ke standard thoda high hota tha, aur lakdi ke ghar mein rehne walon ko unn ke mukable lower standard ka maana jata tha halaan ke bahot saare lakdi ke ghar mein rehne wale log behtar aur ache log hote the. Magar khud ladki ke ghar wale log khud se concrete ke ghar mein rehne walon ko higher standard ke samajhte the.

Mehboob ka ghar concrete ka tha aur Ruhi ke chacha ka ghar bhi concrete ka tha, matlab weh donon ke standard Ruhi ke muqable oonche the. Aur khudh Ruhi and family jaante the ke weh log lower standard ke hein aur Mehboob aur Ruhi ke chacha ko oonche standard ke maante the. Issi liye Ruhi ke pita Saudi Arabia gaya tha kaam karne taake thoda jiada paisa kamaa paaye aur baad mein concrete ka ghar bana sake apne family ke liye to usska bhi standard unn logon ke jitna ho jaaye.

Abhi ne darwaze ko nahin khola balke khatkhataya, aur khada raha ke Ruhi aakar kholegi. Magar koyi 3 minat tak wait karne ke baad bhi darwaza nahin khula to Abhi ne ahiste se darwaze ko kholne ki koshish kiya aur wo khul gaya. Abhi ka dil zoron se dhadakne laga, wo direct Ruhi ke kaamre ke saamne tha, wo darwaza Ruhi ke kamre se hi khulta tha…. Abhi soch raha tha ke 12.08 ho gaye the to kyun Ruhi wahan nahin thi….

Abhi ko thoda darr bhi lag raha tha kyunke agar uss waqt koyi aur wahan aajata to lagta ke Abhi ghar mein chorri karne jaa raha hai, ya kissi buri niyat se aya hua hai wahan kyunke Abhi ke ilawa aur koyi tha hi nahin wahan uss waqt.

Abhi ne sirf itna socha ke kahin agar Reza ya koyi bhi uss kapde dhone wale pathar ke nal se paani bhi bharne agaya to dekh paega ke Abhi Ruhi ke kamre ki dehleez par khada hai akele andar dekhte hue…. Aur agar Reza ke dimaagh jaisa kissi ne bhi ussko dekha to tamasha ban jaega. To abhi ne socha darwaza wapas bandh kar lega to safe rahega, aur wohi kiya ussne. Ussko Ruhi ka naam phukaarne ka mann kar raha tha, magar socha ke dada ji sun lenge, iss liye khamosh raha aur intezaar karta raha yeh sochte hue ke ho sakta hai ke Ruhi abhi tak naha rahi ho….

Aur phir kitchen se spoon aur plate ki awaazein sunaayi de rahe the, aur bartanon ka istemaal karna sunaayi dene laga tha Abhi ko to wo samajh gaya ke Ruhi khana pados rahi hogi dada ji ko ya yahan iss kamre mein laane ke liye serve kar rahi hogi plates mein. Abhi bhavuk jaise ho gaya uss kamre ko ghaur se dekhte hue, yaad karne laga kiss tarah baahar se itne dinon tak Ruhi ko issi kamre ke andar dekhta raha aur kitni khwahishein paal rakha tha Abhi ne ke kaash wo iss kamre ke andar Ruhi ke paas ho sakta…. Aur aaj ussko khud yakeen nahin ho raha tha ke wo uss kamre ke andar khada hai… do kadam chal kar ussne Ruhi ke kitaabon mein se ek book liya aur pages ko palatne laga, Ruhi ke bed ko ghaur se dekhte hue. Jiss taraf takiye rakhe the uss se samajh mein ata tha ke Ruhi uss taraf sar rakhti hogi sote hue, to Abhi ne uss takiye se naak lagaya yeh dekhne ke liye kia uss se Ruhi ki khushbhoo aati hai ya nahin, aur haan ussko apni Ruhi ki mehek aayi uss takiye se. Takiya usske haath mein tha ke Ruhi donon haathon mein do bowl liye dakhil hui to Abhi chahunk gaya aur takiya usske haath se chhuth gira, to Ruhi ne bowls ko table par rakhte hue apni meethi awaaz mein kaha,

“I am sorry thoda sa late ho gaya, yeh soup tayaar hone mein thoda time lag gaya aur dada ji ko khana padosna tha nah! magar aap kar kia rahe the mere takiye ke saath Abhi?!”

Abhi ka bolti bandh tha wo bina palak jhapke Ruhi ko dekhe jaa raha tha khule hue munh se. Ruhi ne usske aankhon ke saamne hatheli ferra, to jaise Abhi hosh mein aate hue kaha,

“Thank you very much Ruhi, thank you so very very much ke aaj tumne iss dress ko pehna, sirf mere liye pehna nah tumne isse? hmm bolo nah!”

Haan Ruhi ussi two-piece mein thi, jiss mein Abhi usse dekhne ko taras raha tha, jiss mein Ruhi kuch ziada hi sexy dikhti thi, jiss mein usski taangein ziada dikhte the, jo ghutnon ke kuch cemtimeters upar tha, kaale rang ka tha aur wohi safed blouse phoolon wale chhote motifs ke saath….. Aaj Ruhi ne Abhi ko invite kiya to usske favourite dress mein bhi thi.

Kia Ruhi ne jaan bujh kar uss dress ko pehna tha? kia wo Abhi ko rijha rahi thi? Kia ussko pata nahin tha ke wo uss mein kuch ziada sexy dikhti hai? Kia itne dinon se Abhi ussko baar baar nahin kehte aya tha ke ussko uss dress mein dekhna chahta hai? Aur itne din jab usski maa yahan thi tab kyun nahin pehna Ruhi ne uss dress ko? Kyun aaj pehna jab usski maa ghar par nahin thi? Abhi yeh sab soch raha tha Ruhi ko nihaarte hue, to Ruhi yeh kehte hue wapas kitchen gayi,

“wait wait please aur chizein laani hai…..”

Wo do baar aur aayi aur gayi plates, rotis, rice, aur curry laane ke liye.

Ruhi ne jab sab kuch set kar diya table par (Wo table uss kamre ki nahin thi, kissi aur kamre se laaya tha Ruhi ne lunch karne ke liye) to Abhi ko baithne ko kaha.

Magar Abhi to Ruhi ko nazron se chorr hi nahin raha tha.

Ruhi ke baalon se ab bhi kuch katre paani ke usski end se tapakte hue dikh rahe the, ghane baal bheege hue the saaf nazar araha tha, Ruhi ekdum fresh dikh rahi thi aur pata nahin kaun si perfumes lagaayi thi ussne ke Abhi aur diwana hote jaa raha tha…. table par khaane se ziada Abhi ka interest Ruhi mein tha. Ruhi baith gayi thi chair par aur Abhi ko wait kar rahi thi baithne ke liye. Jiss side mein Ruhi ki chair thi wo uss darwaze ke paas thi jahan se Ruhi kitchen ke taraf jaati hai, aur jiss taraf Abhi ka chair tha wo Ruhi ke bed ke paas tha. Donon aamne saamne baithne wale the bagal mein nahin, Ruhi ne jaan bujh kar weise arrange kiya tha taake donon ek dusre ko dekh sake.

To chair par baithne ki bajae Abhi bed pat baita aur kaha,

“Aise to start nahin karna hai lunch mujhe!”

Ruhi ne socha ke kissi chiz ki kami hai to wo table par dekhne lagi ke kia miss kiya hai uss ne, phir Abhi ko dekha aur apni eyebrows uchkaate hue pucha,

“kyun? Kia hua Abhi?”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“I first need a good hug, an embrace only then we will start lunch!”

Ruhi muskuraayi aur uth kar usske paas gayi. Kyunke Abhi bed par baitha hua tha aur Ruhi khadi thi to height difference nahin the aur Ruhi chali gayi Abhi ke baahon mein. Ek tight hug kiya Abhi ne Ruhi ko, Ruhi ne bhi Abhi ko zor se gale lagaya, magar Abhi ne Ruhi ke gardan se sunghte hue, usske bheege baalon ko sunghte hue kaha,

“haaaye, kia baat hai sweetheart diwana bana rahe ho mujhe, weise perfume kia hai yaar…. Aur nahane ke baad tumhare baal kitne ache mehek rahe hein, uff main paagal ho jaunga Ruhi…. Tadpa rahi ho mujhe tum!”

Ruhi ussne baahon se nikalte hue wapas chair par gayi yeh kehte,

“Tadpa vadpa main nahin rahi main lunch khila rahi hoon aap ko, iss se pehle ke aap ka lunch time end ho jaaye kha lijiye!”

Abhi Ruhi ke chair ke paas usske piche khada hua aur jhuk kar Ruhi ke baalon ko gardar se hattate hue usski gardan par ek chumban diya jiss se Ruhi ke rowan khade ho gaye to Ruhi ne apne baazuwon par zoron se haath chalaate hue kaha,

“ufffff mujhko thand lag gayi aap ka uss tarah se mujhe chuuhne se…. baithiye nah please….

”

Magar tab tak Abhi ne ussko jhuk kar chair ke piche se hi kiss kiya aur kaha,

“Ek kiss to banta hi banta tha Ruhi ab lunch ka swadh alag hoga….”

Pehle Ruhi ne soup serve kiya Abhi ko aur khud bhi liya, aur baatein karte hue soup ko end kiya gaya to Ruhi ne butter chicken banaya tha, aur usske saath rotiyan serve kiya Ruhi ne khud ko bhi serve karte hue. Magar jab roti khaane ka time aya to abhi ne kaha,

“Meri ek tamanna thi Ruhi”

Ruhi ne ek tukda roti ka le liya tha butter chicken ke saath jissko apne munh mein daalne hi wali thi to ruk, niwale ko haath mein liye hue pucha,

“Tamanna? Kaun si?!”

Abhi ne bade pyar se Ruhi ne chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“ke tum apne haath se ek niwala khilao mujhe!”

Ruhi muskuraayi aur jo niwala apne liye liya tha Ruhi ne ussko Abhi ke munh ke taraf kar diya. Abhi ne bade Khushi se usske taraf apna sar karte hue uss niwale ko liya aur khaate hue kaha,

“Now you wait, main tumko khilata hoon nah!”

Aur uss tarah donon ne ek dusre ko roti khilaaye end tak.

Aur rotiyan ke end hone ke baad Ruhi ne thoda chawal serve kiya magar Abhi ne kaha usska ho gaya wo aur nahin kha sakta. Par Ruhi ne zid kiya ke ussko thoda sa chawal khana hi padega, kyunke ussne baasmatti rice khaas usske liye banaayi thi wo bhi fried rice the. Aur thoda sa serve kiya ek plate mein abhi ko jo ussne liya aur donon ne end kiye.

Lunch karte hue 40 mins ho gaye the. Paani aur juice lene ke baad, jab Ruhi sab bartanon ko wapas kitchen mein rakhne gayi to dekha ke dada ji ke aankh lag gaye hein armchair par leyte hue to wo wapas aayi aur Abhi se help liya uss table ko wapas dusre room mein rakhne ke liye. Iss tarah Abhi ne Ruhi ke ghar ke kuch aur hisson ko dekh liya, sirf kitchen tak nahin gaya jo ussko baahar se full dikhta hi tha hamesha.

Jab donon wapas Ruhi ke room mein gaye to Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Aap ka lunch time end ho gaya 12.45 ho gaye ab aap ko jana paddega nah?!”

Abhi ne Khushi se jawaab diya,

“Aaj mera lunch 2 ghanton ka hai, main 1.45 ko wapas jaunga sweetheart!”

Ruhi ke chehre mein ek chamak dikhaayi diye uss waqt aur kaha,

“What? Really? Wo kaise?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko jakra aur pyar se kaha,

“Jab main ne tumhari mummy ko subha ko jaate dekha tabhi main ne soch liya tha ke aaj main tumhare saath do ghante bitaunga, iss liye tabhi apne team ko bata diya ke aaj main 1.45 ko job wapas resume karunga, kyunke main khud aaj iss room mein aane ko soch liya tha Ruhi, issi liye subha tumse puchne aya tha ke tumhari mummy kitne baje wapas ayegi.”

Ruhi ne apne munh par haath rakhte hue heyraan tone mein kaha,

“Really? Itna kuch soch liya tha aap ne? kyun? Aur agar main aap ko andar nahin aane deto to?!”

Ruhi Abhi ke baahon mein hi rahi apne chehre ko usske seene par dabaaye hue aur Abhi ne usske sar ke baalon mein ungliyan ferrte hue kaha,

“Agar tum andar nahin aane deti to main bahot udaas to hota hi magar main tumko goad mein utha kar andar laane ko soch liya tha!”

Ruhi hanss padi aur pucha,

“kia aap mujhko goad mein utha sakoge Abhi?!”

Abhi ne turant Ruhi ko apne goad mein uss tarah se uthaaya jaise koyi baby ko lete hein, yaane Ruhi Abhi ke baazuwon mein horizontal position mein ho gayi aur Abhi ne weisa karte hue kaha,

“Yeh lo, utha liya nah tumko ab bolo meri jaan!”

Ruhi ke Aankhen bhar aaye aur Abhi ke chaati par chhre chhupaate hue kaha,

“Mujhe kabhi kissi ne aise nahin uthaya hai Abhi, bahut acha feel ho raha hai, thank you.”

Ahi ne Ruhi ko weise hi liye hue funny tone mein pucha,

“Kyun? Tum baby thi to sab ne tumko aise hi goad liye honge nah?!”

Tab shararaati andaaz mein ruhi ne kaha,

“hmmm you naughty main badi hone ke baad ki baat kar rahi hoon baby thi tab ki nahin!”

Abhi standing position mein tha aur teen ya chaar round kiya Ruhi ko weise liye hue jiss se Ruhi ke saare baal latak gaye the aur usski skirt kaafi upar uth gaye the to Abhi ki nazar udhar gaye…. Aur Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein muskuraate hue dekh rahi thi uss dauraan.

Usske baad Ruhi weise hi usske baahon mein rehte hue pucha,

“Aur mujhko aise uthaane ke baad ap kia karte Abhi?”

To Abhi ne Ruhi ko bed par leytaate hue kaha,

“Yeh karta main, yahan tumko aise bed par leytata aur tumse bahot pyar karta!”

Ruhi ne apne chehre ko apne haathon mein chhupa liya aur ungliyon ke beech se Abhi ko dekhne lagi apne bed par leyte hue.

Aur abhi bed par usske taangon ke paas baitha aur ruhi ki takhne par haath rakha aur ahiste ahiste apne ungliyon ko usski takhne se ferrte hue upar usski calf tak kiya….. Ruhi uss pal khud mein simat rahi thi apne ek tang ko upar ke taraf karte hue… usski black skirt mein usski tang itna khubsurat lag raha tha ke abhi appreciate karta raha…. Abhi ne ek nazar Ruhi ko utha kar dekha, Ruhi ne apne daanton mein niche wala honth dabaya hua tha Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue, Abhi ke honton par ek Muskaan dekha Ruhi ne aur dheemi awaaz mein pucha,

“kia kar rahe ho Abhi, mera khidki khula hai koyi yahan se guzra to dekh lega aur main musibat mein par jaungi….”

Abhi ne jhuk kar apne honton ko Ruhi ke takhne se lagaya aur Ruhi ki aah nikli aur ussne uss tang ko zor se upar khincha jiss se Abhi ke naak par lag gayi….

To jhat se Ruhi uth baithi jab dekha ke Abhi ko usski peyr se zor se laga uss movement mein, aur sorry kehte hue wo Abhi ke chehre ko chumne lagi…. Aur ussko apne baahon mein kaske bhar liya.

Abhi ne kaha,

“khidki ko band kar leta hoon”

Ruhi boli,

“No, baahar sab sochenge ke kyun khidki band hai jab har roz din bhar khula rehta hai”

Abhi: “To kia karen phir?!”

Ruhi: “Wait main parde ko khich deti hoon”

Abhi: “magar wo hawa se hatt jaega”

Ruhi: “Main parde ke last end par ek do mota kitabein rakh deti hoon nahin hatega “

Aur wo karne ke baad Ruhi bed par baiti aur Abhi ke chehre mein dekhne lagi ek smile ke saath.

Abhi ne ussko phir letaate hue Ruhi ko kiss karte gaya… Ruhi Abhi ke kiss ko achchi tarha se respond karte hue leyt gayi aur abhi wapas usski tangon ke paas gaya to Ruhi ne kaha,

“uff, kyun baar baar mere peyr ko chhuh rahe ho aap, idhar aao nah, mujhe wahan gudgudi ho rahe hein!”

Abhi ne aashikana andaz mein kaha,

“Ruhi jiss din main ne tumko iss skirt aur blouse mein dekha tha ussi waqt apne ghutnon ke bal aakar tumhare tangon ko baahon mein bharke chumne ka mann kiya tha aaj wohi karne jaa raha hoon….”

Ruhi chhup ho gayi ek gehri saans lete hue aur Abhi ke honton ko feel kiya apne tang par aur Abhi ka haath Ruhi ke skirt ke niche chalta gaya upar usski jaaghon tak…..

Ruhi uth baithi Abhi ko dekhte hue aur ek siskari mein Ruhi ne apne haath ko Abhi uss haath par rakha jo usski skirt ke niche tha aur nah mein sar hillaya….

To Abhi ne please kehte hue ek tadapti awaaz mein kaha,

“I wish to explore you, sweetheart, want to see deep inside you, want to feel you, wish to see how the colour of your skin changes under your skirt, please let me do!”

Ruhi ke laga ke wo Mils and Boons wali kissi kitab ka ek panna padh rahi hai…. Bahot se aise situations ko wo padh chuki thi kayi novels mein aur khud ko unn kitaabon ka ek character feel kar rahi thi uss waqt.

Phir bhi Ruhi ne Abhi ke haath ko aaguey badhne se roke rakha magar khud apne hont ko Abhi ke honth se takra gayi aur donon ek dusre ko kiss karte karte bed par lete hue paaye gaye.

Kiss karte hue donon kabhi ek dusre ke upar hote, kabhi Ruhi Abhi ke niche to kabhi Ruhi Abhi ke upar magar kiss barkaraar raha, aur ussi mauke ka faeda uthaate hue Abhi ne Ruhi ke blouse ke teen buttons khol diye jiss se Ruhi ki bra, bra ke strap nazar aane lage aur Abhi ka ek haatn usski bra ki strap ko kaandhe ke niche kiya thoda sa aur Abhi ke honth Ruhi ke honthon ko chorr kar usski kaandhe tak gaya….

Ruhi uss waqt jhuk kar simat gayi, Abhi ko apne peth aur chaati ke beech dabaaye hue, usski gardan upar uthe hue nazrein chhatt taak rahe the jabke Abhi ka jeeb haule haule Ruhi ke kaandhe se hokar usski boob ko reach hone lage the…

Ruhi kasmasaayi aur usski jism kaamp uthi phir, ek gehri saans lete hue Ruhi ne Abhi ko ziada kaske apne baahon mein jakra tab tak Abhi ka jeeb Ruhi ki ek nipple par chala gaya tha jiss se Ruhi ki aah nikli aur khud ko Abhi se door karte hue Ruhi ne apni bra ko thik kia aur blouse ke buittons lagaane lagi Abhi ke aankon ki gehraayi mein kaampte honthon se dekhte hue…..

Abhi ne socha ke Ruhi naraaz ho gayi, ruk gaya, Ruhi ki nigaahon ko padhne ki koshish mein tha, aur jab dekha ke ruhi ne halki si Muskaan mein apne baalon ko sanwara tab Abhi ne kaha,

“please karne do nah, please….”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“naah!”

Abhi ne usska haath thaama phir binnati kiya, Ruhi nahin maani aur kaha,

“itna kaafi hai aaj ke liye, buss!”

Abhi ne jhat se ussko baahon mein liya aur dobara bed par leyta kar kiss karne laga, Ruhi ne phir respond kiya magar iss baar Abhi ke haath ko thaam liya taake wo usski blouse ke buttons ko nahin khol sake….

Magar iss baar Abhi ka haath Ruhi ke jaanghon par gaya aur upar pahuncha takriban Ruhi ki panty ko chhuh liya tab Ruhi ne usske haath ko roka kiss barkaraar rakhte hue…. Abhi ne kiss roka aur tadapti awaaz mein kaha,

“Ruhi I have never done this in my life, I want to do it, let me nah, please, I will not penetrate you, upar hi karunga karne do nah please dekho kitna tanna hua hai”

Wo kehte hue Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath apne hath mein lekar apne dick par kiya, Ruhi ne usska erection apne haath mein feel kiya, magar sharmaayi nahin, jaise usske liye wo normal tha, balke Ruhi ne apne haath ko Abhi ki erection par rehne diya kuch lamhon ke liye abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue.

Tab Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Thoda sa sehlaao nah isse please.”

Ruhi ne apne haath ko wahin rehne diya usske pant ke upar erection par magar munh fulla kar “naah” kaha Ruhi ne.

Yeh sab karte hue 1.30 ho gaye the aur Abhi ne ghadi dekhte hue kaha,

“Ruhi sirf 15 minats bache hein please ek baar yaar….”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Okay ab 15 mins tak baat karte hein mujhe kuch kehna hai aap se, jo bahot important hai. Issi liye main ne aap ko lunch par invite kiya aaj!”

Yeh sun kar Abhi dheela par gaya aur bed par baith gaya Ruhi ko sunne ke liye.

Donon koyi 3 minats tak khamosh rahe, Ruhi ne sar jhuka liya tha aur Abhi ussko buss dekh raha tha. khamoshi todte hue abhi ne hi Ruhi ke thudi ko apne ungliyon se upar uthaate hue kaha,

“hey sweetheart, kia kehna hai bolo nah!”

Ruhi ke donon Aankhen bhar aaye the aur aansoo buss chalakne hi wale the ke Abhi ne jalde se Ruhi ko zor se baahon mein lete hue pucha,

“Ari kia ho gaya baby? kyun rone lagi tum, batao nah baat kia hai my love?!”

Ruhi ne apne Aansuwon ko ponchte hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekha aur kaha,

“Kia agar main ne life mein koyi ghalati kiya ho to aap meri uss ghalati ko maaf kar paoge?”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke chehre ko chumte hue kaha,

“Of course, my love 100% maaf karunga, why? Kia hua hai?”

Aur ruhi zoron se rone lagi phut phut kar, usska sharir kaampne laga tha usski awaaz baahar jaane lagi thi, awaaz tut rahi thi, Abhi ne ussko zor se jakra hua tha ussko tassali dete hue ussko khamosh karne ki koshish mein laga raha aur usska chehra sehlaata, to kabhi uski peeth par hath ferrta…..

Abhi ke baahon mein simti Ruhi bilat bilat kar khub royi, aur naak se behte paani ko ponchte hue, Abhi ke chehre mein dekha aur kaha,

“Mujhse nahin kaha jaega meri ghalati, meri mummy se puch lena, ussko pata hai aur ussko yeh bhi pata hai ke main aaj aap ko ghar par khaane ko invite karungi yeh baat bataane ke liye magar mujhse nahin bola jaa rahaa, please aap mummy se puchna wo aap ko asaani se bata degi, mujhse se nahin hoga!”

Last minat tak Abhi puchta raha magar Ruhi har baar rone lagti aur kuch nahin boli, to Abhi pareshan, heyraan wahan se wapas kaam par gaya. Shaam tak sochta raha ke kia hua hoga Ruhi ke life mein? Kyun wo itna rone lagi. Kia ghalati kiya hoga ussne? Abhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia soche aur kia samjhe Ruhi ko lekar. Wo bahot hi pareshaan tha aur gham mein dooba raha.

Uss raat ko Abhi so nahin paaya, apni diary mein likhta raha sawaal par sawaal karta raha khud se. Ruhi se kia ghalati ho sakti hai? Kia kiya hoga ussne aisa ke wo bata nahin paa rahi thi aur itna ro rahi thi. Abhi ko chain nahin tha, neendh nahin arahi thi, paagal hota jaa raha tha, subha ka intezaar karta raha. Usski maa wapas nahin aayi thi shaam 6 baje tak wait kiya Abhi ne iss liye bina sawaal ka jawaab jaane hi Abhi ko wapas ana pada tha, aur ab raat bhar suspense mein raat kati Abhi ki.

Update 21 Abhi Tells her​

Subha ke 3 baje Abhi ne ek letter likha Ruhi ke liye jiss mein ussne apne dil ki baat ko kaha. Beshak English mein likha. Pehle 5 pages likha. Phir ussko kuch ziada laga. Sab phaad ke feink diya, phir likhna shuru kiya. 4 pages hue, phir sab phaad diya, teesri baar likha short karke 1 page mein yeh likha:

“Dearest Ruhi,

It’s 3.30 A.M and I am not yet asleep. Have been thinking of you all night. You have rendered me really mad. I am in love with you since day one I saw you in your yard. Remember that day?

From that day on I have been working with great love at that place only because of you. Everything in that yard encloses your smell, your fragrance, your love, your thoughts for me. In the yard, the soil, the stones, the garden, the flowers, the trees, your kitchen’s threshold, the taps, the washing stone, your room’s window are all witness how far my love is true for you. Talk to them, ask them when you are alone, they will all tell you how madly I am in love with you Ruhi. I am writing in English since I express my feelings better when I write in this language and because I know you love reading in English. Thus I am sure I may succeed to convey my heart’s message to you.

You had said that never in your yard had you ever heard any name other than that of Abhi being called as much, like you have heard my name being called. Ruhi, someday when I reach there much earlier, I talk to the places I use to see you, I ask them either they have seen you, I talk to them telling them to convey you my heart’s message, have not they ever told you?

One day try to wake up very early in the morning, go to you washing stone it may have a message for you, talk to it, ask it if Abhi has said anything about you, go out side and stand near the window from outside and talk to your window ask it if Abhi has told it anything, you will get an answer.

When I am not around, talk to the place I work in the bus, you may feel my presence like I always feel your presence when you are not around. Talk to that huge tree under which the bus is, I often talk to that tree, he knows all our secrets. SECRETS. What are you hiding from me Ruhi?

I cannot see you crying, the way you sobbed today made my heart ache. Please never cry like that my love. I forgive all your mistakes, past and present and accept you as you are. Your mistakes do not count for me, what counts for me is you and your love. If I get your love, its enough for me to live a whole life, not one but I can live hundreds of lives only with your love.

I really don’t know what to tell you more. What is important for me is that I get your love in return of my love for you. I love you very very much and I am serious, I mean it, I want you to be my wife and mother of my kids. I will marry you. We will have a happy life you will see and I bet that you will ever be happy with me. I will take care of you all my life, will love and cherish you till my last day, when we grow old one day you will say thank you for the love, I bestowed over you. I am sure of that. I love you with my soul, I feel our souls must have already connected with each other, and you must have felt that. When two souls get connected with each other, the vibes from both sides are full positive and the people get attracted to each other. And I feel that with you and I am sure you must have felt the same. I know that you love me too but you are reluctant to say it, here you go today I said all in writing. I announced my love to you, and it is written. What more precious could you have on this subject now?

Ruhi, instead of your mother I would have loved it that you, yourself tell me what you were trying to say, say it yourself, if you can’t say it while talking then do write it the way I am writing, write me your pains I will end them for you.

Hope to get the opportunity to give you this letter today.

With lots and lots of love

Yours only

Abhinav. Muuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaah.

I LOVE YOU.”

Abhi ne khat ko kayi baar padha tab tak subha ke 4 baj gaye the, tab ussko thoda sukoon haasil hua aur usski aankh lag gayi.

Phir bhi subha 6.30 ko Abhi Ruhi ke aangan mein haazir ho gaya tha kaam ke liye. Ussne uss khat ko ek book mein rakha hua tha aur uss book ko hi Ruhi ko dena tha usse.

Wo aangan mein ghumta raha Ruhi ke intezar mein magar wo nahin dikhi, 7 baj gaye aur sab kaam karne wale aagaye magar Ruhi nahin aayi to Abhi ne kaam start kar diya Ruhi ko dil aur dimaagh mein basaaye hue. Baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke chaaron or dekhe jaa raha tha Abhi phir bhi no sign of Ruhi.

Abhi ko jaldi tha ussko wo khat dene ko, wo chahta tha ke Ruhi jald se jald uss khat ko padhe aur shaam ko jab wapas jaaye to Ruhi ussko khat ka jawaab de.

Abhi ke mann mein achaanak ek darr ne ghar kiya. Ussne socha kahin aisa to nahin ke kal raat ko Ruhi ki maa Ruhi ko bhi lekar usski nani ke ghar lekar chali gayi?!

To abhine apna gaana whistle karna shuru kiya…..15 mins tak wistle karta gaya washing stone ke paas dekhte hue, kitchen ki darwaze par dekhte, terrace par dekhte magar ruhi nahin arahi thi. Abhi pareshan hone laga, udaas ho gaya, seeti bajaate hue usska munh dukh gaya phir bhi ruhi nahin dikhi. Bus mein kaam karne wale log bhi Ruhi ko dhund rahe the kyunke sab ko pata tha ke Abhi ke seeti bajaane par wo aati hai, to ssab baar baar baahar dekh rahe the ke wo abhi ko dekhne ya milne ayegi, au raise 1 ghanta beet gaya magar ruhi nahin dikhi.

Abhi ka bura haal tha, wo kaam mein concentrate nahin kar paa raha tha. baith gaya. Tony ne pucha,

“kyun nahin aayi wo? Aaj ghar par nahin hai kia bhai?”

Aur ekectrician ne bhi pucha,

“Kia hua Abhi bhai? Aaj aap ki girlfriend nahin aayi aap ke seeti bajaane par?”

Abhi ke paas jawaab to tha hi nahin dene ko, khamosh raha wo, to Saeed ne kaha,

“Abhi, jaa, usske door ko knock karke puch kahin bimaar to nahin? Jaa koyi baat nahin!”

Abhi ne ek gehri saans liya, apne bag se book liya, aur jaise bus se nikla to Ruhi ki maa nazar aayi kapde dhone wali jaga par tub mein kapdon ke saath.

To Abhi ke jaan mein jaan aayi aur book lekar gaya uss jagah iss umeed se ke Ruhi wahin hogi ghar ke piche wale hisse par.

Magar wahan paunchne ke baad Abhi niraash hua kyunke Ruhi nahin thi wahan.

Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi ko usske taraf aate dekh liya tha to bade araam se muskuraate hue kaha,

“kaisa hai Abhi? Raat thik se guzra kal tumhara?!”

Abhi: “raat to kaise bhi kat gaya aunty, magar abhi waqt bhaari hai, aakir Ruhi hai kahan, kyun nahin aayi mujhse milne abhi tak wo? Kab se bula raha hoon ussko!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kapdon ko tub se nikaal kar ek dusre Balti mein bhigote hue kaha,

“Ruhi yahan nahin hai, kal raat wo apni nani ke ghar chali gayi! Yahan ussko bahot pareshaan kar rahe ho tum uss se sehen nahin ho raha iss liye main ne ussko tumse door kiya taake meri beti paagal nah ho jaaye!”

Abhi ko chilla kar rone ka mann kiya, usska chehra utar gaya aur gala sukh gaya, saans lene mein ussko jaise takliff hone lagi aur, dil ke dhadkanen abnormal hone lage. Usska mann kiya ke Ruhi ki maa ko hi sunaaye. Soch raha tha ke kaisi aurat hai, ussko apni beti ki takliff dikhi aur Abhi ki takliff nahin dikha ussko, ab Abhi ka kia hoga yeh nahin socha ussne? Aur kia Ruhi apne nani ke ghar mein dukhi nahin hogi? Kia wahan wo khush rahegi Abhi ko yaad nahin karegi?

Abhi bahot saare sawaal karnaa chahta tha magar bina kuch kahe hi wapas bus mein chala gaya halaan ke Ruhi ki maa ussko awaaz deti rahi.

Jab Abhi bus mein wapas pahunch gaya to baahar wapas dekha washing stone ke taraf to Ruhi ki maa ussko bula rahi thi, magar Abhi ne hath ke ishaare se nah kaha. Aur slow speed mein kaam karta gaya Abhi, halaan ke ussko pata tha Ruhi yahan nahin hai phir bhi Abhi ki nazrein baar baar terrace par, lounge ke andar dekhe jaa rahe the…. Aur Abhi ne phir se apna seeti uss gaane ke sur mein bajana shuru kiya, “Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna, do Aankhen to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna, pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..”

Aur lounge ke parde hatte, darwaza khula aur Ruhi nikli terrace par aayi Abhi ke chehre mein pyar se dekhte hue!

Ussko dekh kar Abhi ko ab Khushi se chillaane ka mann kiya, ussne Ruhi ki maa ke taraf dekha jo Abhi ko dekh kar hanss rahi thi, ussne mazaak kiya tha Abhi ke saath yeh kehkar ke Ruhi apne nani ke ghar gayi hai…. Wo Abhi ki taang khinch rahi thi!!

To be continued in the next update immediately….

Update 22 The Differences Again
​
Baaki ke log bus mein se Abhi ko dekh rahe the ke kyun wo ab Ruhi ke paas nahin ja raha kyunke usske seeti ko sun kar wo terrace par aagayi thi….

Abhi ne khayal kiya bus ke andar se hi ke Ruhi ka chehra kuch utra hua tha aur lag raha tha abhi abhi so ke uthi hai.

Abhi ne jaldi se uss book ko liya jiss mein Ruhi ka khat tha aur Ruhi ko dene gaya. Ruhi bimaar dikh rahi thi. Abhi ne ussko kitab dete hue kaha,

“Iss mein kuch hai tumhare liye abhi issi waqt andar jaate hi padhna bahot hi zaroori hai, aur jawaab bhi dena aaj hi please.”

Ruhi ne kitab lete hue abhi ko ek halki Muskaan mein kaha,

“meri mummy se baat kar liya aap ne?”

Abhi: “nahin, ussne to kaha ke tumko tumhare nani ke yahan chorr aayi hai….”

Ruhi: “ofo mazaak kiya hoga, magar aap ne kal wali baat kyun nahin pucha mummy se?!”

Abhi: “isska jawaab andar hai kitab mein jao padho please, aur ek baat, tumhari tabiyat thik nahin kia? Chehra aaj utra hua hai? Kia hua?!”

Ruhi: “hmmm subha 5 baje soyi, raat bhar roti rahi maa ne khub daanta, mujhe neendh hi nahin arahi thi.”

Abhi ne turant Silsila ka sher kaha,

“Majboor yeh haalaat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

Tanhaayi ki ek raat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi

Kehne ko bahot kuch hai magar kiss se kahe hum

Kab tak yunhi dabte, yunhi sehte rahe hum

Dil kehta hai ke dunya ki har rasm utha dein

Deewaar jo hum donon mein hai aaj gira dein

Ab dil mein yehi baat idhar bhi hai udhar bhi.”

Ruhi ne sab suna aur muskura kar kaha

“hmmm Silsila….

Kitna acha bla aap ne sher ko, aap Amitabh ki fan ho kia?”

Abhi ne chamakte aankhon se kaha,

“Are tumko nahin pata? Yahan sabhi ko pata hai ke main usska kitna bada fan hoon, mera idol hai wo!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Ajeeb baat hai har wo chiz jo mujhe passand wohi aap ko bhi passand aisa kyun hai?!”

Abhi khush hua aur kaha,

“Our souls are inter connected sweetheart, read about this in the letter”

Ruhi: “Aap ne iss sissila ki sher ko kuch iss andaaz mein read kiya ke laga Amit ji hi bol rahe hein, kitni tadap thi aap ke awaaz mein, kaise kiya aap ne?”

Abhi: “sweetheart, jo bhi kaha hakikat tha issi liye, main bhi kal raat nahi soya subha 3 se 4 baje tak tumko likh raha tha, tumse connected tha main issi liye tum bhi nahin so paayi thi shaayad, samjhi kia?!”

Ruhi heyraan hui aur Abhi ke aankhon ke geraayi mein pyar se dekhte hue kaha,

“Aap kyun aisa karte ho, din bhar kaam karna hai aap ko, main to din mein so bhi lungi aap apna health kyun bigaar rahe ho?!”

Abhi: “Tum jo the mere khayaalon mein, kaise so paata main? Neendh kahan se aati jab tumne kuch aisa keh diya jiss se neendh udh gaye….. hum to diwane hai aap ke pyar ke, baithe hein aap par zindagi vaar ke, socha hai aap ne kia hamare liye, nah saha jaye ab thoda bhi faasla….”

Ruhi: “shaayar bhi ho aap kia Abhi?”

Abhi: “Ishk sab kuch seekha deta hai meri jaan, shaairi to apne aap ajaata hai.”

Ruhi: “Agar Aap Amit ji ka itna bada fan ho to aap unnko dekhne nahin gaye hamare ilaake mein usski kissi film ki shooting chal rahi hai aap ko pata hoga nah?!”

Abhi: “Haan Manmohan Desai ki film “Mard” ki shooting chal rahi hai, magar yahan se koyi 10 kms door hai nah wo jagah? Kaam itna hai kaise jaa paunga, kal Tony bhi bata raha tha.”

Ruhi: “hmmm ab main samjhi ke koyi aap ko ‘lambu’ kyun bulaate hein Amit ji ke fan ho aap bhi, tabhi to!”

Abhi: “are, khud lamba nahin hoon kia main?!”

Ruhi: “Iss mein koyi shak hai bhala? Kia aap Amit ji se bhi lambe ho?”

Abhi: “barabar hoon, ek baar mila tha uss se, saath khade hokar dekha tha, same height hai hamara!”

Ruhi machal gayi, aur oonchi awaaz mein Khushi se ek bachche ki tarah pucha,

“kiaaaa, aap Amit ji se mil chuke ho?! wow, photos liye ke nahin? Mujhe dikhana please!”

Abhi: “nahin liya main manoj to nahin jo camera lekar chalun!!”

Ruhi udaas hui aur kaha,

“Agar main shooting dekhne jaun to aap chaloge mere saath?”

Abhi: “kaam ke iss mod par nikalna naamumkin hai Ruhi, phir bhi puch kar bataunga, magar pehle tum batana ke kab, kiss din aur kiss waqt jaana hai taake main team ko bata sakun, aur jayenge kaise? Paidal to nahin nah?!”

Ruhi: “bus se jayenge nah, ek saath, donon, aap khush nahin honge mere saath jaana?!”

Abhi: “of course, bahot ziada Khushi hogi mujhe tumhare saath jaana Ruhi, yeh bhi puchne ki baat hai!”

Itne mein Reza ne piche se kaha,

“Ruhi main jaa raha hoon shooting dekhne aaj 1 baje chalogi?!”

Abhi ko ghussa aya aur kaha ke wo kaam karne jaa raha hai aur wahan se hatt gaya.

Bus ke andar se Reza ko Ruhi se baat karte hue dekh raha tha, Abhi ko jalan to nahin ho raha tha magar kyunke uss Reza ko wo bilkool passand nahin karta tha iss liye ussko acha nahin lag raha tha aur khaas kar ussko jaldi tha ke Ruhi usska khat jaa kar padhe.

Donon ke baatein sunaayi de rahe the, aur Reza full koshish mein laga hua tha ke Ruhi usske saath shooting dekhne chale. Ruhi ko dekh kar lagta tha usska bahot mann hai jaane ke liye, baar baar Abhi ko bhi dekh rahi thi bus ke andar Reza se baat karte hue.

Ab Abhi sochne laga ke kia iss se pehle Ruhi kahin gayi hogi kia Reza ke saath? Wo yahin ka rehne wala tha, Mehboob ki bus ka conductor tha to kayi saalon se iss aangan mein ata jaata hoga, to Ruhi se bachpan se jaan pehchaan hoga usska, yeh sab soch kar ab Abhi ko jalan sa feel aane laga tha, aur wo buss Reza aur Ruhi ko dekhe ja raha tha.

Abhi ko chain mila jab Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekhte hue Reza se kaha,

“Jaungi to unnke saath varna nahin jaungi, okay?!”

Reza ka chehra laal hua aur Abhi ko dekha bus mein munh banaate hue, aur Abhi ne hanss diya.

Abhi kaam karte hue sochta raha ke ab Ruhi usska khat padh rahi hogi, ab iss paragraph ko padh rahi hogi, ab yeh padh rahi hogi, ab ussko pata chal gaya hoga ke main ne ussko “I love you” bol diya…..

Abhi soch raha tha ke ab Ruhi kia feel kar rahi hogi uss khat ko padh kar? Bahot khush ho rahi hogi, ussko acha feel ho raha hoga Abhi ke khat padh kar, aur Abhi ab dekhna chahta tha ke Ruhi ka reaction kia hoga jab wo usske saamne aegi. To Abhi ke nazrein baar baar washing stone ke taraf to kabhi Ruhi ke khidki par hota raha.

Phir kuch der baad Abhi ko heyrani hui Manoj ko terrace par dekh kar. Aaj wo kaam par nahin gaya Abhi ne socha, usska camera usske haath mein tha aur bus ke kuch photos liye ussne usske baad Manoj aur Ruhi donon garden mein gulaab todte hue dikhe gaye.

Ab Abhi sochne laha ke kia Manoj ne Abhi ka khat to nahin padha? Kia Ruhi ne ussko dikhaya hoga khat ko? Abhi Ruhi ke chehre ki expressions ko padhne ki koshish kar raha tha. Abhi ke khat padhne ke baad Ruhi par kuch to assar hona chahiye tha magar Ruhi normal thi, jaise kuch hua hi nah ho. Magar Ruhi ne ekaat baar garden se bus mein Abhi ko dekha, kayi baar dekha. Magar normal tarike se dekha, jo Abhi ko passand nahin aya…. Abhi ne socha usske khat ko padhne ke baad Ruhi ke chehre mein ek chamak hona chahiye tha, bahot pyar ubhar kar baahar aate hue dikhna chahiye tha Abhi ke liye, aur wo Abhi ko nahin dikh raha tha. Abhi naakhush tha Ruhi ki reaction se.

Phir Abhi ne khud se kaha ke kia Ruhi ne chithi nahin padhi hogi ab tak kyunke Manoj ghar par hai? Ya abhi koyi reaction nahin de rahi kyun ke manoj usske saath hai? Abhi confused tha kyunke ussko nahin pata tha ke Ruhi ne chithi padhi ke nahin.

Phir ek baar aisa hua ke manoj jhuka hua tha main road ke taraf dekhte hue aur Ruhi bus mein dekhte hue Abhi se kuch kaha apne honton ko hillaate hue bina awaaz ke…. Abhi samah gaya ke ussne khat padh liya kyunke Ruhi ke chehre mein Khushi chalak rahi thi aur bade pyar se Abhi ko dekh rahi thi, lag raha tha ke keh rahi thi, “I love you too” usske honton ke form ussi movements mein move ho rahe the. Abhi bahot khush hua aur usske seene ke andar jaise usska dil naachne laga tha.

Phir kuch der baad Ruhi nahin dikhi aur Manoj ne ishaare se Abhi ko bulaya bus ke baahar. Abhi samajh gaya ke bus ke photos dene wala tha ussko aur Saeed ko nahin dikhana chahta tha jaise ke Abhi ne uss se pehle keh diya tha.

75 photos the ek envelope mein jo Manoj ne Abhi ko diya aur kaha ke 5 rolls ko ek saath develop karwaya ussne issi liye late de raha hai. Par Abhi ne ussko 500rupay diye the aur 50 pics ke utna hote hein matlab aur 25 pics ke liye paise dene the Manoj ko jisske liye Manoj ne kaha,

“Baad mein adjust kar lenge, abhi aur bus ke photos lene hein nah, jab full ready ho jaega bus, andar bhi kuch pics lene hein, phir jab paint ho jajega, har step par lete jaa raha hoon, complete hokar road par jaega tab last pics lunga bus ki. Tab baaki ke paise de dena okay”

Abhi maan gaya aur uss lifaafe ko apne bag mein jaakar rakh diya. Kissi ne nahin dekha George ke siwa, magar kissi ko pata nahin tha ke uss lifafe mein manoj ne kia diya Abhi ko.

Abhi ne kuch der baad Manoj ko ready hokar jaate hue dekha jab Ruhi ne ussko bye wave kiya.

Usske baad Ruhi kayi baar saamne aayi Abhi ke. Khush dikh rahi thi, Abhi samajh gaya ke usske chithi ka assar hoga. Aur kuch der baad Ruhi aur usski maa donon terrace par nazar aaye. Ruhi polish laga rahi thi terrace par baith kar aur usski maa usske piche khadi thi. Kyunke maa piche thi to Ruhi ne dobara ussi tarah bina sound ke Abhi ko kuch kaha. Abhi nahin samjha ke ussne kia kaha, phir turant Ruhi ne mudh kar apni maa ko dekha ke kia ussne ussko ishaare se baat karte hue dekkha to nahin.

Phir kuch khaas nahin hua. Lunch ke baad Abhi Ruhi ke khidki ke paas gaya to wo bandh tha. Abhi bahot heyraan hua. Jabse wo yahan kaam kar raha tha aaj pehli baar uss khidki ko bandh dekha ussne. Abhi chal kar piche ke darwaze tak gaya wo bhi bandh tha. Abhi heyraan hua, pareshan hua usske samajh mein kuch nahin araha tha. Ab sochne laga ke do baar Ruhi ne kia kaha tha uss se? kuch khaas kaha hoga jo usski maa aur manoj ko nahin pata chalna chahiye iss liye bina awaaz ke kaha tha.

Abhi ki pareshaani ussko ab bahut tang karne laga usske samajh mein nahin aya ke wo ab kia karen. Usska mann kiya ke darwaza khatkhata ke Ruhi ko phukaare… paagal hone laga Abhi…..

30 mins tak Abhi washing stone par baitha wait karta raha magar Ruhi ne nah khidki kholi aur nah wo nazar aayi. Tony cigarette kharidne jaa raha tha to Abhi ko wahan dekha to pucha kia hua. Abhi ne oonchi awaaz mein Ruhi ko andar sunaane ke liye kaha,

“pata nahin yaar aaj pehli baar iss khidki ko band dekh raha hoon, koyi hoga andar shayad issi liye nah band hai!!”

Tony chala gaya main road ke taraf, aur Abhi yaad karne laga kiss tarah kal iss waqt wo andar issi kamre mein tha aur Ruhi ko khidki band karne ko kaha tha to Ruhi ne kaha tha ke baahar log sochenge ke kyun khudki band hai to ussne parda khinch kar books se dabaya tha…. aur soch raha tha ke iss waqt Ruhi apni kamre mein hi to hogi, to shaayad Ruhi jaan bujh kar aisa kar rahi hai, ya Abhi ko ab avoid kar rahi hai ya usski maa ne Ruhi ko weisa karne ke liye kaha hoga…..

Kal Ruhi ne kaha tha ke wo usski maa se usski ghalati ke baare mein puche wo bataegi, to kyun ab khidki band hai, abhi to Abhi ko usski ma se baat karna chahiye tha to khidki band hai to kaise Abhi baat karega?! Abhi ko ghussa bhi araha tha.

Phir Abhi ne yaad kiya ke khat mein ussne Ruhi se kaha ke usske munh se sab kuch sunna chahta hai usski maa se nahin, to kia iss liye Ruhi ne khidki band kiya kyunke wo nahin bata paegi? Ya ruhi shararat kar rahi hai, Abhi ki patience ka imtehaan le rahi hai? Subha usski maa ne tang khincha tha Abhi ka yeh keh kar ke Ruhi apni nani ke yahan hai, kia ek baar phir Ruhi ki maa ne jaan bujh kar khidki band kiya Abhi se sharaarat karne ke liye? Kia andar se maa beti sab dekh aur sun rahe hein?! Kia Ruhi ne apni maa ko sab bata diya jo Abhi ne khat mein likha hai? Bina awaaz ke Ruhi ne kia kaha tha Abhi se?

Update 23 How Abhi Faced It​

Subha usski maa ne tang khincha tha Abhi ka yeh keh kar ke Ruhi apni nani ke yahan hai, kia ek baar phir Ruhi ki maa ne jaan bujh kar khidki band kiya Abhi se sharaarat karne ke liye? Kia andar se maa beti sab dekh aur sun rahe hein?! Kia Ruhi ne apni maa ko sab bata diya jo Abhi ne khat mein likha hai? Bina awaaz ke Ruhi ne kia kaha tha Abhi se?

Abhi kaam karne chala gaya kyunke lunchtime end ho gaya tha magar nah khidki khuli aur naa hi Ruhi dikhi. Abhi ka dimaaghi haalat bahot kharab tha uss waqt. Ghussa bhi kar raha tha aur kaam sahi se nahin ho raha tha uss se. bus ke baahar ke panels par aluminium sheet measurement se kaat kar rivet se chipkana tha, din bhar ka kaam tha, shaam tak wohi karna tha, pehla hi sheet kata to ghalat kata, kum tha, ek sheet waste hue. Aur Saeed ne kaha,

“Agar Mehboob ko pata chala ke yeh sheet kharab hua to naraaz hoga iss sheet ko chhupado kahin!”

Abhi ne ghusse mein reply kiya,

“Kaun si badi baat hai? Kate hue sheet ko dusri jagah istemaal kiya jaa sakta hai, kayi jagahon par uss se bhi chhota dimension ke liye kaatna hai to uss bigre hue hisse se kaat lenge not a big deal!”

Tony Abhi ka help kar raha tha. Jab sheets ko kaatna tha to kissi ek ko dusre taraf sheet ko pakarna padta tha. aur kata jaata tha ek tin kaatne wale kainchi se jissko Tin Snip kehte hei wo aisa hota hai jaise iss tasveer mein hai:
​

Tin-snipper.

​
Ab measurement par kaatne ke liye, pehle bus ki panel par naap liya jata tha, aur ussi naap ko sheets par pencil se mark kiya jaata phir ek line khincha jata tha sheet par tab uss line par tin snip se kata jata tha. jaise ke agar naap hai 5mts by 7 mts and 15 cms. To sheet par itna naap kar line khincha jaata tab uss line par tin snipper ko chalaate hue kaatta tha Abhi.

Ab yeh saare kaam thik Ruhi ke kitchen ke saamne karna hota tha, wo blank space hai nah sketch mein uss hisse mein yeh sab kaam kiya jaata tha. to har baar jab Abhi tin kaatne jaata to kitchen ke andar dekhta magar wo khaali tha koyi bhi nahin tha kitchen ke andar, magar Abhi ko ek ummed thi ke 3 bajne ke baad ruhi ko kitchen mein ana hi padega pakaane ke liye aur tab se shaam 6 baje tak to kitchen mein hi rehti hai, so abhi uss waqt ka intezaar karta raha kaam karte hue.

Kate hue tin ko laakar bus ki panel par sahi se dabaa kar hole dril karna hota, aur uss hole mein rivet pop kiya jata tha. River Tony pop kar raha tha jabke Abhi tin ko sahi disha mein laga raha tha taake wo hille nahin bilkool. Ek panel ke tin ko chipkaane ke liye kareeb 25 holes drills karne hote the aur utna hi rivet lagana padta tha. to ek sheet ko kaat kar, wapas aakar panel par chipkaane mein koyi 30 mins lag raha tha…. Abhi ne jaan bujh kar slow kiya aur 45 se 50 mins liya ek sheet ko chipkaane ke liye taake Ruhi ko kitchen mein aane ke time Abhi ko ussko dekhne aur baat karne ka mauka mile.

Shaam 3 baje tak Abhi ne apne kaam ko slow chalaya….. aur jab 3 baja aur Ruhi kitchen ki chaukath par nazar aayi bus ke taraf dekhte hue, to Abhi gaya aluminium sheet kaatne…. Abhi ka dil phir bhi khush hua ke pehla chiz jo Ruhi ne kiya wo tha direct bus mein dekhna, matlab Abhi ko dhundna ya usske taraf dekhna.

To Abhi aur Tony gaye thik Ruhi ke kitchen ke saamne, Ruhi wahin khadi rahi jab Abhi ko uss taraf aate hue dekha. Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue hi abhi wahan rakhe aluminium sheet par baitha, koyi 14 sheet rakhe hue the niche kuch blocks par. Ruhi ke chehre par ek muskan saji hui thi aur usski aankhon mein ek chamak dikh rahi thi, khush thi. Magar Abhi heyraan tha ke aaj mili nahin aur aise behave kar rahi hai jaise sab kuch normal hai.

Abhi ne measuring tape ka ek end Tony ko pakarne ko kaha aur apne pencil se measure ke hisaab se mark kar raha tha sheets par aur Ruhi ko baar baar dekhe jaa raha tha to Tony ne kaha,

“Bhai kahin koyi mistake mat kar dena firse, mujhe cross check karne do ke aap ne sahi measurement par mark dala hai ya nahin aap ka dhyan udhar ziada hai abhi….”

Abhi ne hansste hue tape Tony ko diya aur ussko khud measurement mark karne ko kaha, aur line khinchne ko bhi kaha jahan jahan tin snipper chalana hai tab tak wo ishare se Ruhi se baat karta raha. Ruhi ne sone ka ishara karke Abhi ko samjhaya ke wo so gayi thi, tab Abhi ko yaad aya ke raat bhar wo soyi nahin thi kal, issi liye ussne kidki band karke so gayi thi, abhi abhi uthi hai.

Abhi ne phir pucha ke khat ka jawaab likha ya nahin? To Ruhi ne na mein sar hillaya hansste hue. Tony baar baar sar utha kar Tuhi aur Abhi ko dekh raha tha to Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“Abe tu kyun ab humko dekh raha hai? Tu markings kar nah!”

Phir Abhi baitha apne tangon par tin snip se sheet kaatne ke liye, shuru hi kiya tha ke Manoj Shweta ko lekar aangan mein aate hue dikha….. Aur Shweta Manoj ka haath chhura kar bhaagte hue seedhe Abhi par jhapki aur usske kaandhon par apni choti choti baazuwon ko lapet kar zorr se “Abhhhiiiiii” chilaate hue ussko gale lagaaya aur kayi puppiyan diya Abhi ko. Ek hafte baad Shweta wapas aayi thi aaj. Aisa lag raha tha Abhi ki beti apne papa ko pyar kar rahi thi….. Ruhi aur Manoj donon kitchen ke stairs par khade hansste hue dekh rahe the Shweta ko. Phir Manoj andar chala gaya aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“Shwetu, tu mujhse milne nahin aayi seedhe Abhi ke goad mein chali gayi, main teri kuch nahin lagti, Abhi sab kuch hai ab?!”

Tab tak Abhi ne Shweta ko goad mein utha kar khada ho gaya tha aur Ruhi ke taraf dekhte muskura raha tha, aur Shweta ne Ruhi ko jawaab diya,

“Aap to upar the aur Abhi niche baitha hua tha, yeh itna ooncha hai ke issko puppy dene ke liye innko jhukne ko bolna padta hai tab puppy de sakte hein to aaj innko niche dekha, to chali gayi usske goad mein aap jealous ho rahe ho kia?!”

Sab Shweta ki masoom baton ko sunkar hanssne lage, khud Ruhi zor se hansi aur Shweta ko reply kiya,

“haan main jealous hoon kyunke tumse pehle Abhi ko main jaanti hoon”

Shweta ne apne naazuk ungli ko daanton mein dabaya aur Abhi se dhire se kaha,

“Wo aap ko pehle se jaanti hai?!”

Abhi ne bhi ussko dhire se kaha,

“haan jaanti to hai, magar hum aap se bahuuuuuuut ziada pyar karte hein, Ruhi se utna nahin karte!”

Shweta ne “hihihihihihi” kiya phir Abhi ke kaan mein kaha,

“ab agar ussko pata chala ke aap mujhse bahuuuuuuut pyar karte ho tab aur ziada jealous hogi nah hihihihihi”

Abhi ne apne shak ko mitana chaha aur Ruhi ko weise hi goad mein lekar bus ke taraf chalta gaya usske kaan mein baat karte hue. Abhi ko uss bachi mein Ruhi ki bachpan dikh raha tha, wohi naak naksha, wohi Aankhen, wohi Muskaan, to apni shak ko mitaane ke liye Abhi ne Shweta ke kaan mein kaha,

“kiss ne aap ko kaha jhut muth ke Ruhi ko didi bulaane ko? Wo to mummy hai nah aap ki?!”

Ruhi ne jawaab nahin diya buss daanton mein apni ungli dabaayi. To Abhi ne Shweta se sawaal jaari rakha,

“achah batao aap rehte kahan ho aap ki address pata hai aap ko?”

Shweta ne apni sheher ka naam bataya Abhi ko, tab Abhi ne pucha,

“Aap apne papa ke ghar rehti ho?”

Shweta ne haan mein sar hillaya, phir Abhi ne pucha,

“aap ke papa ka kia naam hai, aur surname bhi batao, aur aap ka surname?!”

Ruhi ki surname “Nunhuck” hai, to Abhi jaanna chahta tha ke agar Shweta usski chacha ki beti to Shweta ki surname bhi wohi hogi nah….

aur Shweta ne jawaab diya,

“mere papa ka naam hai Anirud Nunkuck, aur mera Shweta Nunhuck”

Abhi ne ek gehri saans liya aur pucha,

“Aap ki mummy bhi rehti hai nah saath uss ghar mein?”

Shweta ne jawaab diya,

“haan hamare saath hi rehti hai, mummy nurse hai hospital jaati hai roz.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“hmmm to phir Ruhi aap ki badi didi hi hui nah baby!”

Shweta ne apni muthi kholke usse dolte hue kaha,

“haan wo badi didi hi hai meri”

Abhi ne ek gehra saans liya, ussko kabhi shak hota tha ke Shweta Ruhi ki beti hai aur yehi secret chhupa rahi thi Ruhi uss se aur issi baat ko apni ghalati batana chahti thi aisa Abhi ko laga tha, ab Shweta ne confirm kar diya tha ke wo Ruhi ki chacha ki beti thi.

Phir bhi Abhi ne ek sawaal aur kiya Shweta se,

“aap ka koyi aur bhai behen hein kia wahan ghar par? bada bhai ya badi behen ya chhota bhai ya chhoti behen?!”

Shweta ne apni masoom aur Ruhi ki jaisi awaaz mein kaha,

“main akeli hoon mera koyi bhai aur behen nahin hai!”

Abhi ke mann mein dobara shak ne ghar kiya, Ruhi ke chacha aur chachi ke koyi aulaad nahin iss liye Shweta ko apne naam dekar adopt kiya hoga….. Abhi iss liye aisa sochne laga kyunke wo sheher wala chacha Ruhi ka bada chacha tha, aur uss age mein itni chhoti Shweta ki umar ki bachi hona kuch ajeeb lag raha tha….

Tab tak Manoj apne camera ke saath ghar se nikla aur Shweta se kaha,

“chal tujhe Amitabh Bachchan ki shooting dikhaunga aaj chal Shwetu!”

Aur Manoj Shweta ko lekar chala gaya, aur kitchen ke chaukath se Ruhi ne oonchi awaaz mein Shweta se kaha,

“mujhe ek puppy bhi nahin diya, mujhse mili bhi nahin, Abhi ke goad mein chipki rahi aur bina mile jaane lagi shooting dekhne, mat aana mere paas Shweta!”

Shweta main road ke taraf jaate hue Ruhi ko wave kiye ja rahi thi hansste hue….

Aur Ruhi ki maa bhi nikli stairs par Shweta aur Manoj ko jaate hue dekhne, phir Abhi gayi Ruhi ke kitchen ke chaukath ke paas aur usski maa ke saamne kaha,

“Tum kyun nahin chali gayi shooting dekhne apne bhai ke saath?”

Ruhi ne Abhii se hansste hue kaha,

“main ne kissi aur ke saath jaane ko socha hai magar wo busy hai sirf kaam kaam kaam karta rehta hai!!

Yeh reply sunkar andar se Abhi ka dil khush to hua magar Ruhi ko jawaab diya Abhi ne,

“sirf kaam hi karta wo; to kal do ghante tumhare saath nahin hota aur aaj aadha ghanta tumhare kapde dhone wale pathar par baith kar wait nahin karta!”

Ruhi ki maa ne hansste hue kaha,

“le! Ab de jawaab ussko, wo itna tez hai ke tujhe hara dega hamesha sawaal jawaab mein tujhse bahot ziada tez hai Abhi”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“hmm very intelligent boy with witty replies always… aap se baat karna asaan nahin hai nah Abhi?!”

To be continued in the next update immediately

Update 24 How Abhi Faced It (ii)​

Abhi ne kaha,

“iss sawaal ke badle tumko yeh batana behtar suit karta ke tum kehti ke tum ne uss aadhe ghante tak kyun mujhe wait karwaya?!”

Ruhi ne jeeb ko daanton mein dabaate hue kaha,

“sorry Abhi, kal raat nahin soyi thi nah to 11 baje hi main gehri neendh mein thi, aap log bus mein kaam karte hue shor kar rahe the nah to main ne nahin mummy ne khidki band kar diye taake meri neendh nah tute!”

Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha thik tabhi uss taraf se Rahima ne Ruhi ko bulaya kuch dikhaane ke liye, aur Ruhi nikli aur yeh gungunaate hue Abhi ke bagal se guzri, “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..”

Abhi ne suna aur usska dil bahot khush hua Ruhi ko uss geet ko gungunaate hue sun kar.

Aur Ruhi turant wapas aayi Rahima se kuch haath mein lekar aur wohi geet gungunaate hue Abhi ke bahot karib se guzri, to turant Abhi ne bhi gungunaya, “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna….” Ruhi ne mudhkar usse dekha, muskuraayi aur kitchen ke chaukath par apni maa ke paas khadi ho gayi.

Abhi gaya unn donon ke paas khada hua aur Ruhi se pucha,

“did you read the letter?”

Ruhi ne ek pyari si muskurahat mein kaha,

“oh yes, yes thank you very much hmmmm thanks very very much for that, its so, so nice of you. But you will not get any answer for that okay Abhi?”

Abhi: “And why I won’t get any reply?”

Ruhi: “I am not worth to reply to such a lovely letter.”

Ruhi bade pyar se muskuraate hue baat kar rahi thi Abhi se apni maa ke saamne. Maa sirf muskura rahi thi.

To Abhi ne pucha,

“Is you mum understanding what we are talking?”

Ruhi: “No she is not!”

Abhi: “So will you tell me, what about the mistake you were talking yesterday?”

Ruhi ne baat ko badalte hue kuch aisa kaha jiss se Abhi ka dil baith gaya, ussko ghutan sa feel hua, Ruhi ne kaha,

“chalo maan lo ke aap ke khat ka mera jawaab nah hua to?!”

Abhi ne koyi jawaab nahin diya, buss Ruhi ke chehre mein utarte hue chehre se dekkhta raha. Kuch tha hi nahin Abhi ke paas kehne ke liye. Ruhi phir bhi muska rahi thi… to Ruhi ne khud kaha,

“Aur agar main aap se kahun ke meri mangni ho chuki hai to?!”

Yeh sunkar Abhi ke dimagh ne kaam karna bandh kar diya. Usske samajh mein nahin aya ke wo ab kia jawaab de Ruhi ko!!

Kuch pal khamosh rehne ke baad Abhi ne kaha,

“Main nahin manta, impossible….. So, you have someone in your life?”

Ruhi ne bade asaani se kaha,

“No not in my life, but he is abroad.”

Abhi ne dil ko sambhaalte hue pucha,

“he will come back to stay?!”

Ruhi ne muskuraate hue Abhi ke aankhon mein dekhte hue kaha,

“No, he will not come to stay, he will return.”

Abhi ne phir kaha,

“phir meri duah hai ke wo kabhi bhi wapas nah aaye!”

Ruhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“Hey bhagwaan aisa bhi koyi kehta hai kissi ke liye?!”

Ruhi ki maa sab sun rahi thi aur hanssti jaa rahi thi.

Abhi ne tab Ruhi ka haath thaam kar kaha,

“To kia tum mere liye ussko chorr nahin sakti, ussko bhool kar meri nahin ho sakti tum?”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“I don’t know that depends on my parents!”

Abhi ne object karte hue kaha,

“tumhare parents tumhare liye decide nahin kar sakte,tumko apna choice karna tumhara haq hai, weh log tumhare liye decide nahin kar sakte!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“but it is my duty to obey my parents”

Abhi ne ussko jawaab diya,

“but it is also your duty to obey yourself”

Tab Ruhi zor se hanssi, to Abhi ne kaha,

“okay phir thik hai main abhi issi waqt tumhare mummy se shaadi ke kiye tumhara haath mangne jaa raha hoon….”

Iss par Ruhi aur bhi hanssne lagi…..

Abhi ko lagne laga ke jo kuch abhi Ruhi ne kaha sab banawti baatein the, magar usske dil mein darr tha ke kahin yeh sab sach nah ho….

Aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“have you ever realised how tall you are and how I am?”

Abhi ne turant kaha,

“That’s not important, how tall is Amitabh Bachchan and how tall is Jaya Badhuri?”

Ruhi iss par bahut hanssi usski maa bhi hanssti gayi Abhi ki baat sunkar….

Aur Abhi ne kaha pyar mein yeh sab nahin dekha jaata, lambaayi, rang, jaat paat sab koyi maene nahi rakhta….

Abhi ne tab Ruhi se kaha ke aaj kaam 5 baje end hoga magar wo 6 se 6.30 ya7 baje tak issi aangan mein rahega aur chahta hai ke Ruhi se akele mein baar kare…..

Phir Abhi kaam karne laga… Ruhi aas paas hi rahi aur apne jeeb se Abhi ko ghanton bhar chidhaati rahi, hanssti rahi, khush dikh rahi thi, chanchal adaaon se jaise Abhi ko rijha rahi thi apni maa ke saamne.

Ruhi ab Abhi ko nazar se bilkool bhi nahin chorr rahi thi. Abhi ko bus ke piche wale hisse par sheets chipkana tha, to kitchen se bus ke piche to nahin dikh raha tha, kafi derf tak Abhi wahan raha to Ruhi khud aayi udhar…. Ussne apne cousin ke yahan jaane ka bahana kiya taake Abhi ke paas aa sake…. To Abhi ne ussko roka, aur bus ke andar dekhte hue Ruhi ne kaha,

“dekho tumhara boss tumko dekh raha hai”

Abhi ne kaha,

“dekhne do ussko sab pata hai!”

Ruhi ne kaha:

“what ussko sab pata hai? To main chali bye bye….”

Abhi ko bolna pada ke nahin saeed ko kuch pata nahin hai tab Ruhi ruki Abhi se baat karne ke liye…. Aur Abhi ne kaha,

“mere taraf dekho to!”

Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein, balke aankhon mein dekhne lagi, to abhi ne kaha,

“Dekho Ruhi, agar tum mujhe nahin mili, agar tum meri nahin hui, to main zindagi bhar kabhi shaadi nahin karunga, mujhe sirf aur sirf tum chahiye”

Ruhi ke donon Aankhen bhar aaye Abhi ko sunkar, ekaat katre aansoo ke chalak bhi gaye aur aasmaan taakte hue Ruhi ne roni awaaz mein kaha,

“oh my god, kyun aakhir kyun?

Abhi ne seriously kaha,

“kyunke main iss Ruhi ko nahin khona chahta ek ko kho diya hoon aur nahin khona mujhe!”

Ruhi samjhi nahin, ussne socha Abhi aise hi keh raha hai, Ruhi ne apne aansoo pochte hue kaha,

“Ab main jaa rahi hoon, main ab kuch dinon mein apni nani ke yahan chali jaungi.”

Abhi ne heyraan hote hue kaha,

“What?”

Ruhi rote rote hanss pari

Phir Abhi ne kaha,

“To yahan mera kia hoga? Main kaise kaam karunga yahan? Main kisse dekhunga har baar yahan, main Ruhi ke bina kia karunga phir yahan?”

Ruhi ne tab hansste hue kaha,

“phir dusre jagah kaise kaam karoge aap?”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Issi liye to tumhari ek tasveer mangi hai nah main ne? Please ek photo de do apni, please.”

Ruhi: “nah, main kabhi kissi ko apni koyi bhi photo nahin dene wali”

Abhi ne kayi baar manga, request kiya, minatein kiye magar Ruhi ne mana kiya.

Abhi ne tab uss abroad rehne wale aadmi ke baare mein pucha, aur Ruhi ne kaha wo France mein hai, aur usska naam Amit hai. Abhi ne kaha ke wo abhi abhi uss naam aur aadmi ko khud CREATE kar ke bata rahi hai weisa koyi hai hi nahin, to Ruhi ne kaha ke nahin wo hakikat hai.

Tab Abhi ne kaha,

“ya tum iss liye mana kar rahi ho kyunke meri yeh Naukri tumko aur tumhari maa ko nahin passand, main ganda rehta hoon, mere kapde gande hein iss liye?”

Ruhi ne jo jawaab diya wo Abhi ko passand aayi,

“kyun iss mein kia hai? Koyi bhi kaam ho, kaam to kaam hota hai”

To Abhi ne kaha,

“ya phir tumko eysh o araam wali life chahiye, luxuries chahiye, amir aadmi ke saath hona passand hai tumhe jisske paas car, naukar chaakar ho, jo abroad rehta ho….”

Ruhi ne kaha

“nahin bilkool bhi nahin main weisi nahin hoon!”

To Abhi bola;

“Shakespeare ne kaha hai – ‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’ isska matlab pata hai nah?”

Ruhi ne phir kaha,

“Aap kitne padhe likhe ho Abhi, kia kuch nahin pata aur yaad hai aap ko hmmm?!”

Tab tak Ruhi ki maa ne ussko awaaz diya to Ruhi ne kaha ab ussko jaana hai aur wo phir wohi geet gungunaate hui gayi, “pyar karte hein hum……”

Abhi ek bhaaripan feel karne laga, phir bhi ussko Ruhi se bus ke piche itni der baat karke achcha laga.

Aur kuch hi der baad Abhi ko ab bus ke andar ke ceiling ke liye kuch istemal karna tha jo Ruhi ki lounge mein rakha hua tha to wo gaya wahan usse lene, Ruhi ki maa ne darwaza khola aur deewar se tek laga kar khadi Abhi ko dekh rahi thi to Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“Ruhi se keh dijiye main ek baar phir usske ghar ke andar aya hoon”

Ruhi ne dusre kamre se jawaab diya,

“kehdo unnko ke danda padega ab unnko!

Kuch der baad Abhi wapas panels par sheets chipka raha tha jo Ruhi ke terrace ke paas tha aur Ruhi aur usski maa donon wahi the aur baar baar phir Ruhi ne ussi tarah apni maa ke saamne Abhi ko apne jeeb se chidhaya… Abhi ko to Ruhi ka uss tarah se jeeb se chidhaana bahot pasand tha to Abhi ne socha ke Ruhi ka wohi “I love you” bolne ka tarika tha shaayad.

Aur kuch der baad aur Ruhi apni khidki par tek lagaye hue dekhi gayi, aur Abhi ussko fix dekh raha tha, to dhire se Ruhi ne kaha,

“Kia dekh rahe ho aap? Uss tarah se mat dekhiye mujhe.

Magar abhi ne aur behtar position liya Ruhi ko behtar se dekhne ke liye tab Ruhi ne kaha,

“aap bilkool paagal ho!”

Abhi ne jawaab diya ke “haan hoon main paagal!”

Ab Ruhi ki maa baahar nikli aur Ruhi chaukath par aayi aur Abhi ko ishaare se bulaya, to Abhi kaam chorr chaar kar gaya usske paas, Ruhi kuch kehne jaa rahi thi Abhi ko magar jab Abhi usske paas pahuncha to Ruhi ne kaha,

“main ne aap ko nahin bulaya!”

To wapas lautte hue Abhi ne kaha,

“mere jaane ka time ho gaya, please yahin rehna jab main jaane lagun mujhe tum dikhna chahiye jaate hue, varna main nahin jaunga aaj yahin rahunga! I will stay at your place all night!”

Ruhi ne Khushi se hansste hue kaha,

“Really aap yahin rahoge hamare yahan? Yeh to Khushi ki baat hai rehye nah!”

Uss waqt Abhi ke haath mein ek cigarette tha aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“kitna cigarette peete ho aap, feinkiye isse Abhi issi waqt!”

Abhi ko Ruhi ka weise kehna bahot achcha laga, ussko laga jaise ek wife apni husband ko cigarette feinkne ko keh rahi hai to Abhi ne jawaab mein kaha,

“Wo kab hoga tumko keh diya hai main ne, agar chahti ho ke hamesha ke liye cigarette feink dun to wo din jaldi se aaye pray karo! Matlab jab tum meri ban jaogi tab!”

Aur Abhi ne sach mein soch liya aur khud se kassam kha liya tha ke jiss din Ruhi usska hua wo cigarette kabhi nahin piyega uss din se.

Abhi ne phir yaad kiya ke ussne Abhi tak apni wo baat nahin bataayi hai to kaha,

“Ari suno to, kiss baat ke liye kal tum ne kaha tha ke kia main tumhari ghalatiyon ko maaf kar sakta hoon ya nahin? Tumne abhi tak kuch kaha hi nahin, sunon jab sab chale jaenge tab main rukunga, late tak piche ana hum baat karenge….”

Ruhi ne haan mein sar hillaya…..

Ab tak jitna kuch hua wo sab Abhi soch raha tha ke sab Ruhi ki maa ki banaayi hui plan hai Abhi ko aazmaane ke liye. Jo kuch Ruhi ne kaha, jaise wo behave karne lagi thi sab kuch Abhi samajh raha tha ke sab uski maa ne Ruhi ko seekhaya hai Abhi ko parakhne ke liye usska imtehaan lene ke liye Ruhi waisa kar aur keh rahi thi.

Update 25 Ruhi Reveals It​

Shaam ke 5.15 se 6.45 tak Abhi ne Ruhi se baat kiye, aur usski maa sath thi uss waqt. Maa ki haaziri mein sab kuch kaha suna gaya, thoda English mein thoda hindi mein baatein kiye donon ne, rona dhona bhi hua, aur maa ne bhi beech beech mein baat kiye.

Mehboob ne jab dekha saare kaam karne wale chale gaye aur Abhi Ruhi ke kitchen ke chaukath par khada hai to pucha,

“are Abhi aaj ghar nahin jana hai kia tumko?”

Rahima ne Abhi ki jagah jawab diya apne pati ko,

“lagta hai aaj Abhi Ruhi ke saat dinner karke jaega ya ussi ke yahan rahega!”

Ruhi hansste hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekh raha tha, aur Mehboob ne kaha,

“Acha yeh baat hai, to thik hai kal subha phir sab se pehle kaam shuru kar dena tumko door se nahin ana padega.”

Aur Abhi ne Ruhi aur usski maa se kaha,

“Dekha, sahi to keh raha hai Mehboob, main yahin theher jaata hoon aaj ek jagah milega kia raat beetane ke liye?”

Donon maa beti hanss rahe the aur Ruhi ne thoda gambhirta se kaha,

“Aap sapnon ki dunya se nikaliye nah Abhi main ne aap se kaha nah ke it’s too late now main kissi aur ki amaanat hoon!”

Abhi ko thoda ghussa aya aur usska dil ne chaha ke chilla kar Ruhi se kahe “phir kia naatak kar rahi hai itne dinon se usske saath, kyun ussko kiss kiya kyun uss se milne aati rahi ghar ke piche, kyun ussko lunch par invite kiya, kyun ussko jeeb se chidhati hai kyun itna kuch kiya, khilwaad samajh rakah hai kia?!!”

Magar Abhi ne sayyam rakhte hue araam se kaha,

“please ghar ke piche aao nah tumse akele mein baat karni hai mujhe, bahot serious baatein karni hai.”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“nahin jo kuch kahna hai yahin kehiye aap.”

Abhi ne usske maa ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“Magar hum donon ke beech ki baatein hein tumhari mummy ki zaroorat nahin hai nah yaar!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“are meri mummy ko sab kuch pata hai nah usske saamne hum kuch bhi baat kar sakte hein!”

Aur mummy ji ne kaha,

“haan Abhi mere saamne baat karoge to koyi sawaal bhi nahi karega nah, agar Ruhi ke saath akele piche gaye to sawaal uthenge!”

To Abhi ne kaha okay thik hai aur baton baton mein aise hi ek ke baad ek baat nikalte gaye.

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Agar aap ko nahin yakeen ke koyi hai jo mera intezar kar raha hai to meri mummy se puch lijiye.”

Abhi ne usski maa ke taraf dekha to ussne kaha,

“Haan yeh sach hai, Ruhi ko propose kar diya gaya hai shadi ke liye humne ladke walon ko zubaan de diye hein to kuch nahin kar sakte nah ab!”

Abhi bhi serious hua aur kaha,

“Main yakeen nahin karta,yeh sab aap donon ne milkar khichdi pakaaye hue hein hai nah?!”

Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue jaise usski haar par khush ho rahi thi jab usski mummy ne wo sab kuch kaha to. Aur Ruhi boli,

“kia meri maa aap se jhoot bolegi?”

Abhi: “haan jaise subha kaha tha ke tum apni nani ke ghar chali gayi ho!”

Abhi ne uss aadmi ke baare mein pucha, to Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“wo wahin ka rehne wala hai jahan isski naani rehti hai.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Aap Ruhi ko France bhej rahi ho, itni door aap ko pata bhi hai wahan isski kia haal ho sakta hai?!”

Mummy ji ne kaha,

“khair dekhte hein isski kismat mein kia hai, Ruhi ko hamesha se foreign jaane ki tamanna thi to jane diya jaye main ne socha.

”

Abhi ne tab Ruhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“issi liye main ne tumse kuch der pehle pucha tha kia tumko life ki luxuries chahiye?!”

Abhi bahot depressed feel karne laga tha yeh usski chehre se zaahir tha, jab bhi Abhi udaas hota ya koyi bhi chiz ussko pareshan karta to Abhi ke chehre pe saaf nazar ata tha aur wo Ruhi ko achi tarah se pata tha, wo Abhi ke chehre mein hi dekhe jaa rahi thi, ussko pata tha ke Abhi ko gehri choat lagi hai yeh sab baatein sunkar…… Abhi itna khushnuman insaan tha ke usske chehre par hamesha ek raunak hua karta tha, doston ke beech bhi koyi bhi usske chehre se pehchan leta tha jab bhi Abhi ko koyi pareshani hoti thi, kyunke Abhi tha hi aisa ke usska chehra sab bata deta tha. Abhi ek joyful happy going insaan tha. ab aise insaan ko choat lage to saaf dikhta hai.

To Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein dekh kar samajh sakti thi ke Abhi ghayal hua hai aur khud Ruhi ke aankhen bhar aayi abhi ko weise dekh kar.

Abhi ne sar jhuka liya tha aur kuch der tak kuch nahin bola, aur jab phir se Ruhi ke chehre mein dekha to Ruhi ne ussko jeeb se chidhaya. Iss baar Abhi ko usska chidhana acha nahin laga, Abhi ne bahot seriously Ruhi ke chehre mein dekha ur ek gehra saans liya….

Bina kuch kahe Abhi ne apne kadam ko jaane ke liye moda, sar jhukaate hue to Ruhi ki maa ne usskko roka yeh kehte hue,

“are ruko to, abhi sirf 15 mins baat kiye hein aur jaane lage thehro to aur baatein karte hein nah!”

Abhi ne dabbe awaaz mein kaha,

“Ab kia kehna baki hai aunty?!”

Abhi ne ek cigarette jalaya, aur Ruhi ko piche apne kamre ki khidki ke paas aane ko kaha. Magar usski maa ne kaha,

“nahin wo ab aap se akeli baat nahin karegi, jo kuch kehna hai mere saamne kehye nah aap!”

To bhi ne kaha,

“To aap bhi wahin aaiye usski kamre mein wahin baat karte hein nah yahan Mehboob aur Rahima hamaare baton ko sun sakte hein nah!”

To Abhi piche gaya Ruhi ke khidki ke paas aur dekha ke Ruhi wahan uss se pehle pahunch gayi hai aur apne donon kehuniyon ko khidki se tek kar sar baahar nikaal kar muskuraate hue Abhi ko aate hue dekh rahi thi…. Jab Abhi wahan reach hua to dekha usski maa usske piche khadi hai.

Abhi ne ruhi ke aankhon mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Ruhi ab main apne gharwalon se, Naina se, doston se kia kahunga?!”

Donon maa beti ne ek saath kaha,

“Yeh aap ki ghalati hai kyun sabko bataya aap ne?!”

Baatein gambhir hote gaye, Abhi bahut hi seriously baat kar raha tha, ussne apni maa ke baare mein kaha Ruhi ko, uss se kaha ke ussko usski maa ki jaisi saas life mein kahin nahin milegi, usskki maa itni achchi hai…..

Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi ke thartharaate hue honth ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Ab yahan rona mat Abhi….”

Abhi ne kaha,

“nah, yahan nahin yeh tab hoga jab akele tanhaayi mein hunga tab…”

Jab Abhi ne weisa kaha to dekha ke Ruhi ki aankhen bhar aaye aur ansoo chalak gaye… Abhi ne turant apna haath badhaya usske chehre ke taraf aur Ruhi ne ek kadam piche kiya aur Abhi ne usski honton ko kaampte dekha…. Usski maa wahin rahi bina hille to Abhi ne usski maa se kaha,

“Ab aap mujhe yeh samjhao ke Ruhi kyun rone lagi? Dil mera tuta nah? dard mujhe hua, takliff mujhko ho rahi hai to Ruhi kyun ro rahi hai? Samjhaiye aap mujhe yeh baat! Agar Ruhi mujhse pyar nahin karti to ussko kyun aise mere haal par rona ata?!”

Ruhi apni bed par leyt kar ro rahi thi apne aankhon se aansoo poncte hue, to Abhi ne ussko bulaya, paas aane ko kaha…. Aur kaha,

“Ab tumhi batao mujhe Ruhi, ke kyun rone lagi tum? Rona to mujhe tha nah? wo main ghar jaakar kar lunga ya bus mein jaate hue munh chhupa kar ro lunga magar tum kyun rone lagi agar mujhse pyar nahin hai to?!”

Ruhi ne aur zor se rona shuru kiya apni takiye mein munh dabaate hue to Abhi ke bhi aankhen bhar aaye aur chalak bhi gaye aur tadapti awaaz mein, rote hue Abhi ne kaha,

“aao nah Ruhi ek saath milkar rote hein aao rona share karte hein donon aah nah Ruhi!!”

Abhi Ruhi ko zorse apne seene se lagaana chahta tha uss waqt, magar wo ghar ke baahar tha aur Ruhi andar thi apni bed par thi to behte aansoowon se Abhi ne usski maa ko dekha aur kaha,

“Please aap piche wala darwaza open karo nah, main Ruhi ko hug karna chahta hoon chaahe wo aakhri baar hi kyun nah ho, kholo nah please….”

Ruhi ki maa ne nah mein sar hillaya magar Ruhi apne aansoo ponchte hue uth kar piche wale darwaze ko khol diya, to jhapat kar Abhi wahan gaya aur uss chawkat par Ruhi ko zor se baahon mein bhar kar rone laga… donon ek dusre ko baahon mein bhade ro rahe the, maa dekh rahi thi aur kaha,

“Ruhi!! ahista sabko batana hai kia sssshhhh”

Aur maa ne uth kar darwaza band kiya aur donon ko bed par baithne ko kaha, khidki ke parde ko khinncha aur donon ko bilkool aahiste baat karne ko kaha, magar baat kahan donon ek dusre ke baahon mein rote jaa rahe the do chhote bachon ki tarah…..

Aur ab Ruhi ne kal ki tarah dobara apni maa ke saamne pucha,

“aap mere saare ghalatiyan maaf kar sakte ho Abhi?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke aankhon ko ponchte hue kaha,

“are baba kal keh diya nah HAAN” HAAN” HAAN” sab maaf kiya main ne kuch bhi ho!”

Tab Ruhi ne English mein baat kiye….

“And if I am not what I am looking to you, if I am someone else, different then?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“It makes no difference to whatever it be! I would accept to marry you even if you had a child, even if you are a divorcee, even if you are a widow!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke uss baat ko sunkar, upar chhat ko dekha, usski aankhen phir bhar aaye aur ek bacchi ki tarah rote hue Abhi ka haath bahut zor se pakar kar Ruhi ne pucha;

“AND IF I AM NOT A VIRGIN ABHI??!”

Update 26 The Unexpected Happened​

“It makes no difference to whatever it be! I would accept to marry you even if you had a child, even if you are a divorcee, even if you are a widow!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke uss baat ko sunkar, upar chhat ko dekha, usski aankhen phir bhar aaye aur ek bacchi ki tarah rote hue Abhi ka haath bahut zor se pakar kar Ruhi ne pucha;

“AND IF I AM NOT A VIRGIN ABHI??!”

Ab aaguey….

Ruhi ki uss baat ko sunkar Abhi ko nah shock laga, nah heyraan hua nah kuch kyunke Abhi ko yakeen ho gaya tha ke aisi hi koyi baat hogi jissko Ruhi “apni life ki ghalatti” kehti ya maanti thi. To bina soche turant on the spot Abhi ne kaha,

“Main tab bhi tumse shaadi karne ke liye tayyaar hoon Ruhi”

Ruhi kuch der khamosh rahi, tab pucha,

“Are you sure Abhi?”

Palak jhapakne se pehle Abhi ne kaha,

“YES I AM SURE A THOUSAND, A MILLION, A BILLION PERCENT SURE”

Aur Abhi ne tutant pucha,

“kia yehi vajah thi ke tum mere proposal ko refuse kar rahi thi?!”

Sar jhuaaye hue, zameen taakte hue, aankhon ko saaf karte hue Ruhi ne udaas awaaz mein kaha,

“haan”

Phir Abhi ke chehre mein ek chamak dikhaayi diya aur Khushi se pucha,

“Aur phir baaki jo kuch bhi tumne kaha ke kissi ka tumhara intezaar karna, wo Amit, wo abroad wala, sab planned tha nah? sab naatak the nah?!”

Ruhi thodi si hanssi, Abhi ke chehre mein dekha aur kaha,

“Now, please don’t tell this matter to anyone, I have not told anybody about it”

Abhi ne pucha,

“your relatives hereabout know about it?”

Ruhi: No, No, No one.”

Abhi: “your father?”

Ruhi: “Noooooo”

Abhi: “your bothers?”

Ruhi: “No Abhi not at all!!!”

Abhi: “hmm only your mother knows all!”

Ruhi: “No, even she does not know!”

Aur Ruhi ki maa uss waqt hanss rahi thi to lag raha tha ke wo donon ke baton ko samajh rahi thi halaan ke English mein baat kar rahe the donon.

To Abhi ne kaha,

“Now you must be lying, your mother must be aware of all, I am sure!”

Ruhi: “No Abhi, she is not aware, no one else know it!”

Phir kuch der kamre mein bilkool sannata ho gaya, khamoshi chah gayi, koyi kuch nahin bol raha tha, Abhi Ruhi ki saanson ko sun sakta tha uss waqt.

Ruhi ka haath Abhi ke haath mein tha, donon bed par baithe hue the, maa, do kadam bagal mein khadi donon ko dekh rahi thi. Baahar andhera hone laga tha, suraj dhal chuka tha, kamre mein thoda andhera hone laga tha…. Abhi ne ek haath Ruhi ke kaandhe par kiya, usski gardan ko khud se sataaya, usski gaal ko chuma, tab mudhkar usski maa ko dekha ek smile ke saath, aur Abhi uss baare mein Ruhi se swaaal karna chahta tha, socha ke puchein ya nahin puchein, mauka sahi tha uss topic par hi baat karne ko kyun ke wo topic cheda gaya tha, magar Abhi soch raha tha usske sawaal karne se Ruhi ko takliff ho sakta hai, phir socha ke abhi nahin pucha to kabhi bhi puchega tab bhi takliff hi hogi, to ya iss baat ko kabhi nah karen ya aaj hi sab puch kar khatam karen, to Abhi ne Ruhi se puchne hi jaa raha tha ke Ruhi ne kaha,

“aap ko aur kuch puchna hai to puchiye, main sab bataungi,

To Abhi ne pucha,

“Who did that to you? The one who is abroad?”

Ruhi ne sar jhukaaye hue hi jawaab diya,

“No, not he”

Abhi jhuk kar Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue phir pucha,

“when did that happen? Long time ago or recently?”

Ruhi: “A long time ago!”

Abhi: “then who did that?”

Ruh bahot upset dikh rahi thi aur kaha,

“Oh, I don’t want to talk about it, please.”

Abhi: “OKAY…NEVER MIND….. SO RUHI NOW ITS ALL OKAY BETWEEN ME AND YOU? ALL IS FINE? SEE I LOVE YOU DESPITE THAT, YOU MUST BE HAPPY RIGHT?”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke chehre mein dekha aur kaha,

“Maa andhera ho gaya light on karo nah mujhe Abhi ka chehra nahin dikh raha thik se!”

Usski maa ne light ko on kiya, aur chali gayi baaki ke Kamron mein light on karne tab Ruhi ne Abhi ko baahon bharkar kaha,

“yes, it’s all okay now Abhi. Thank you Abhi.”

Abhi ne ne usske peeth ko thapthapaate hue kaha,

“Dekho Ruhi ab mere tumhare beech mein koyi doorie nahin honi chahiye okay?”

Ruhi ne apni dheemi, meethi, pyari awaaz mein kaha,

“OKAY ABHI”

Aur baahar baarish sunaayi diye, to Ruhi ki maa wapas kamre mein aayi aur kaha,

“Baarish hone lagi, Manoj Shweta wapas nahin aaye Abhi tak, bheeg jayenge donon!”

Maghrib ki namaz ki azaan sunaayi diye phir, aur Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Aazan ho rahi hai Mehboob masjid jaega ab!”

To Abhi ne pucha,

“Mehboob religious hai? Mujhe nahin pata tha din mein to bilkool nahin jata wo!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Sunset ke baad aur raat ki last prayer ko jaate jein wo.”

Tab Ruhi ki maa ne donon ko dekhte hue Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi tum kitne lambe ho aur Ruhi tumhare saamne kitni chhoti hai”

Abhi ne turant kaha,

“jisski biwi chhoti usska bu bada naam hai”

Iss par Ruhi hanssi aur Abhi ko maara usske haath par.

Phir Abhi ne continue kiya

“goad mein bithalo bachche ka kia kaam hai…”

Ruhi zor se hanssi aur phir Abhi ko maarna chaha magar Abhi wahan se hatt gaya to Ruhi ne ussko miss kiya iss liye aur bhi hanssne lagi….

Phir achanak Ruhi ne Abhi se pucha,

“Are you sure that you still love me despite that?... you see I do not want to deceive you that’s why it was my duty to tell you the truth”

Abhi ne phir usske kaandhe par haath rakh kar kahaa,

“yes sweetheart I love you and will always do, look Ruhi, I told you I am a very sentimental person, I need LOVE AND YOU WILL GIVE ME MUCH MUCH LOVE AND THAT LOVE WILL COVER EVERYTHING ELSE.”

Abhi ke baat ko sunkar Ruhi muskuraayi aur kaha,

“YES.

”

Abhi ne phir pucha,

“Can you give me that much love Ruhi?”

Ruhi kuch der khaamosh rahi, to Abhi ne sawaal ko dohraya, tab Ruhi muskuraayi aur kaha,

“YESSSS”

Abhi bahot hi khush hua, ussko jaise naachne ka mann kar raha tha, jhumne ko mann kar raha tha, socha Khushi se aaj bus mein safar karega….

Aur tab Abhi ne kaha,

“okay ab mujhe jana hoga, kaafi der ho gayi hai…”

Ruhi ne achanak Abhi ka haath zor se pakra aur udaas hokar kaha,

“Aap jaa rahe ho? Main ne socha aap rahoge, please aaj yahin theher jao nah please!”

Abhi ko heyraani hui aur Usski maa ke chehre mein dekhne laga. To maa ne kaha,

“thik hair reh jaiye aaj, kal chale jana nah!”

Abhi ne sapnon mein aisa kayi baar socha tha aur aaj usska sapna pura hote dikhaayi de raha tha ke wo Ruhi ke ghar mein raat guzaarega….. phir bhi ussne pucha,

“magar abhi Manoj aakar sawaal karega to kia jawaab denge ussko?!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“wo aap mujh par chor do, wo kuch nahin kahega hum uss se kahenge ke aap ko rehne ka mann kiya buss aur phir dada ji hai nah ghar mein aur ussko to pata hai”

Tab Abhi ne kaha,

“mere ghar par sab intezaar karenge, yahan kiss ke paas phone hai main ghar phone karke bata dun ke kal ghar aunga….”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke chehre mein ghaur se dekhte hue pucha,

“Aap ke yahan phone hai Abhi?”

Abhi: “lines lagaa rahe hein telecom waale ek do mahine mein lag jaega, main ne application kar diya hai, abhi paas ke dukaan mein phone karke ghar bataane ko kahunga.”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Hum ne bhi apply kiya hua hai, papa Saudi Arabia se uss filling station wale ke yahan phone karta hai to humko weh log bulaate hein tab hum jaate hein papa se baat karne ke liye, chaliye aap uss dukaan se phone kar sakte ho jahan aap cigarette kharidne jaate ho……. Maa main Abhi ko phone karane lejaa rahi hoon!”

Aur Ruhi aur Abhi ghar se nikle, main road ke taraf jaate hue dikhe uss aangan mein jahan Abhi ne sapna dekha tha ke wo Ruhi ke saath wahan weise hi chalega kabhi. Andhera tha, street light to main road par tha uss aagan mein to nahin, to Ruhi ne chalte hue khud Abhi ke baazu ko pakra hua tha, wo Abhi ke right hand side mein thi to usske right arm ko apne donon haathon se thaame hue thi.

Abhi ko kitna achcha feel ho raha tha, usska dil machal raha tha wo itna khush tha ke ussko zoron se chilla kar apni Khushi ko izhaar karne ka mann kar raha tha uss waqt. Wo uss pal ko jee bhar ke jina chahta tha, Ruhi ko thaamna chahta tha magar Ruhi ne usske baazu pakre hue the aur wo ussko disturb nahin karna chahta tha.

Aur Abhi ne araam se aur dhimi awaaz mein jhuk kar Ruhi ne gardan ke paas apne munh ko laakar kaha,

“kitna romantic lag rahe honge hum donon iss waqt aise chalte hue, kaash koyi hum donon ki film utaarta aise, ya Manoj hamara ek photo leta iss position mein!”

Ruhi ne thoda sa darr dikhaate hue kaha,

“uff wo ata hi hoga Shweta ke saath, hum ussko cross kar sakte hein raaste par….”

Aur Ruhi ne turant Abhi ke baazu ko chorr diya.

Tab Abhi ne Ruhi ke kaandhe par hath rakh kar ussko khud se sataya, to Ruhi ne kaha,

“ofo chorro nah main road agaya, yahan kitne log honge, dekho dukaan wahan hai jahan se phone karna hai…”

Ruhi ne phir filling station ko dikhaate hue kaha,

“aur wo hai filling station, usska maalik piche rehta hai, wahin papa phone karta hai humko!”

{main ne sketch mein uss filling station ko lagana bhool gaya. Wo station main road par nikalte hi thik opposite mein hai Ruhi ke ghar se wo filling station dikhta hai, agar Ruhi apne kitchen ke chaukath par khadi hoti hai to seedha filling station ki maalik ka ghar, aur aadha filling station saamne dikhta hai main road ke uss paar --- yeh iss liye bata raha hoon kyunke uss filling station ke baare mein baad mein kuch part aane wala hai}

To Abhi aur Ruhi uss dukaan tak gaye, kuch log pee kar ladkhadaate hue dukan se nikal rahe the, kuch log pee rahe the kone mein, Ruhi Abhi ke piche hokar jaise usske piche chhup rahi thi wo sab dekhte hue.

Abhi ne phone kiya apne mohalle ki dukaan par aur by chance uss waqt usske pita wahin tha uss dukaan mein, wo bhi daru hi pine gaya hua tha udhar, to dukaandar ne Abhi se kaha ke usska pita wahin hai uss waqt to ussi ko phone diya baat karne ko.

Abhi ne apne pita se keh diya ke aaj wo ghar nahin araha kal sham ko aayega. Baap ne sawaal kiya ke kahan rehega kiss ke ghar, to Abhi ne kaha jisska bus bana raha hai ussi ke ghar par rukega aaj ki raat.

Phir Abhi ne Ruhi ke liye chocolates kharida, aur kuch snacks aur pucha ke Shweta kia passand karti hai, to Ruhi ne Abhi ko unn chizon ko dikhaya jo Shweta ko passand hai aur Abhi ne ek plastic bag bhar ke cakes aur sweets liya sabke liye, Ruhi aur usski maa ke liye ice creams bhi liye Abhi ne, aur apne liye cigarettes chhupa kar liya bina Ruhi ko dikhaaye.

Wapas aate hue Ruhi ne abhi se kaha,

“kitna kharch karte ho aap, itna kuch kharidne ki kia zaroorat thi, Rs.250 ke cakes hmmm?!”

Abhi ne buss Ruhi ko jakar liya aur us aangan mein donon ne ek dusre ke kamar mein haath daale hue chal kar ghar aaye….. Aur jab bus tak pahunche jahan Abhi har roz kaam karta tha to Ruhi ne kaha,

“rukiye nah ek baat bataati hoon aap ko….”

Abhi ruk gaya bus ke paas, to Ruhi ne Abhi ka haath khinch kar uss bade darkhat ke paas gayi aur Abhi ke gale mein apne bahon ko lapet kar kaha,

“Har shaam ko jab aap chale jaate ho nah to main yahan aakar aap ko yaad karti hoon, din bhar jo kuch aap ne kiya, kahan kahan kaam kiya sab unn jagahon par jaakar dekhti hoon ke Abhi aaj yahan kaam kar raha tha, yeh kar raha tha wo kar raha tha yahan se mujhko dekh raha tha…..

”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko zor se baahon mein bhadte hue kaha,

“Ruhi tum bhi mere jaise feelings rakhti ho, are main ne tumko letter mein yeh sab kaha hai nah? Main bhi har subha ata hoon to tumko har uss jagah par feel karta hoon jahan jahan tum mujhe dikhti ho, yaar yeh hum donon ek jaise hein yaar!!”

Aur donon ne ek dusre ko uss darkhat ke niche kiss kiya. Ek lamba aur passionate kiss. Ruhi ko jaise Abhi ko chorrne ka mann hi nahin tha.

Abhi behad khush tha, yeh ussko sab ek sapna jaisa lagne laga tha. Ussko yakeen nahin ho raha tha ke yeh sab sach mein ho raha hai. Haan ussne yeh sab khayaalon mein kayi baar socha tha magar sab hakikat mein badal jaega yeh ussne bilkool nahin socha tha. Tha to wo bilkool positive, hamesha bhala hi sochta tha, aur umeed karta tha ke jo soch raha hai wo sach aur sahi ho jaaye magar weisa sach mein hoga wo nahin sochta tha. Aur aaj jo ho raha tha usske saath wo buss ek dream come true tha.

Update 27 Abhi Spent The Night At Ruhi’s​

Abhi behad khush tha, yeh ussko sab ek sapna jaisa lagne laga tha. Ussko yakeen nahin ho raha tha ke yeh sab sach mein ho raha hai. Haan ussne yeh sab khayaalon mein kayi baar socha tha magar sab hakikat mein badal jaega yeh ussne bilkool nahin socha tha. Tha to wo bilkool positive, hamesha bhala hi sochta tha, aur umeed karta tha ke jo soch raha hai wo sach aur sahi ho jaaye magar weisa sach mein hoga wo nahin sochta tha. Aur aaj jo ho raha tha usske saath wo buss ek dream come true tha.

Ab aaguey….

Jiss waqt donon bus ke piche uss darkhat ke paas kiss kar rahe the ek donon ko baahon mein bhade tabhi lane mein Shweta ki awaaz sunaayi diye kehte hue,

“naiii main nahin bheegi hoon aap ke sar ke baal bheeg gaye hein”

Ruhi darr gayi aur Abhi ko itna zor se jakra ke Abhi ko laga usski pasliyan tutne wale hein, to Ruhi ne darrte hue kaha,

“uff manoj bhai aur Shweta, agar humko yahan dekh liya to musibat ajaegi ab kia karen Abhi?!”

Abhi ne phusphusate hue kaha,

“Sshhhh andhera hai koyi humko nahin dekh paega, buss niche baith jao yahin aur bilkool khamosh raho, jab donon ghar ke andar chale jaenge tab hum unnke piche jaenge….”

Aur Ruhi aur Abhi ek dusre ko jakre hue hi baith gaye. Ab of course kyunke andhera tha aur donon buss ke uss taraf the, aur halki si barish bhi thi to Manoj tez kadmon se seedhe apne kitchen ke darwaze tak gaya bina idhar udhar dekhe aur Shweta ko utara kitchen mein…..

Utarte hi Shweta chillaayi,

“Ruhiiiiiiii didiiiiiiiiii main agayiiiiiiii”

Idhar Bus ke kone mein Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“Ufff wo mera hi naam phukaar rahi hai, mujhko dhundne gayi hogi, chalo ab jaldi….”

To donon piche se gaye kitchen mein jaise daakhil hue Shweta andar se wapas laut rahi thi Ruhi ko dhundte hue, andar Ruhi ki maa ne Shweta se kaha ke Ruhi ghar par nahin hai iss liye wo wapas kitchen mein arahi thi aur jaise Abhi ko dekha wahin ruk gayi jahan reach hui thi achanak! Phir zor se “Abhiiiiiiii” chilaate hue usske taraf badhi donon baahon ko khole to Abhi apne tangon par baith gaya usske nanhi baahon ko apne kaandon par lene ke liye….

Tab tak Manoj toilet gaya hua tha aur ussne andar se Shweta ko Abhi ka naam utna zor se chillaate hue suna to ussko taahjub hua ke Abhi iss waqt yahan kaise.

Tab tak Ruhi ki maa bhi kitchen mein agayi thi. Abhi ne tab Ruhi ko wo plastic bag thama diya aur tangon par baithe hue baby Shweta ke hug mein gum raha. Ussko zor se seene se lagaya hua tha. Dada ji bhi aaye apni Tv program chorr kar aur Abhi aur Shweta ko dekh kar bola;

“Bahot lagao ho gaya isski Abhi ke saath, ho bhi kyun nahin Abhi bada pyara bacha khud hai”

Iss baat ko Manoj ne suna kyunke tab tak wo baahar nikal chuka tha toilet se aur khada Shweta ko Abhi ke baahon mein dekh raha tha, aur muskura raha tha Ruhi ko aur apni maa ko dekhte hue. Ussne ishaare se Ruhi se pucha ke Abhi iss waqt yahan kaise. To Ruhi ne phusphussate hue kaha,

“aaj hamare yahan rahega!”

To manoj Ruhi ko dekh kar hanssa aur andar chala gaya.

Tab Ruhi ne Shweta se kaha,

“Ari wah re Shwetu, ab bhi mujhse nahin mili tu, phukaar to mujhe rahi thi aur Abhi ke paas chali gayi jao main tumse baat nahin karungi, katti!”

Shweta ne Ruhi ke taraf dekh kar ‘hihihi” kiya aur Abhi ke sar ke baalon par haath ferrte hue kaha,

“Aap ke baal bhi bheeg gaye hai aap baahar the nah? Manoj bhai ke baal bhi bheeg gaye main nahin bheegi bilkool!”

To Abhi ne Shweta ko chumte hue kaha,

“Hmm sach hai; jao ab tum apni Ruhi didi ke paas varna wo tumse baat bhi nahin karegi aur dekho usske paas kitne saare cakes hein wo tumko nahin degi!”

Shweta nahin chorr rahi thi Abhi ko aur kaha,

“naiii main aap ke saat hi rahungi, aap aaj yahin rahoge?!”

Abhi ne mudhkar Ruhi ke taraf dekha, phir usski maa ko dekha, donon bade pyar se Abhi aur Shweta ko dekh rahe the aas paas khade, Dadaji bhi wahin khada dekh raha tha, uss waqt Abhi aur Shweta main attraction bane hue the kitchen mein.

Abhi ne Shweta ko pyar se jawaab diya ke haan aaj wo yahin rukega. Tab tak ek towel se apne baal ko ponchte hue Manoj ghar se kitchen mein aya aur Ruhi se kaha,

“tum kab jaogi shooting dekhne, jaogi bhi ya nahin?!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue apne kaandhon ko uchkaya, to Ruhi ki maa ne manoj se kaha,

“Abhi ko towel dedo, dekho usske baal bhi bheege hue hein!”

To Manoj aur Abhi ne ek dusre ko dekha aur ussne Abhi ko muskuraate hue towel diya….. Abhi ne towel se apne baal par rub kiya to Shweta ne kaha,

“Mujhe do main ponchti hoon!”

Ab Abhi ek to tangon par baitha hua tha, ab Shweta ne usske haath se towel le liya to Abhi ko apne sar ko aur niche jhukana para taake Shweta usske baal ko rub kare towel se…..

Manoj wapas andar chala gaya TV dekhne, aur dada ji bhi usske piche gaya.

Kitchen mein Ruhi ne Shweta ke haath se towel liya aur ussne Abhi ke baalon mein towel rub kiya usske baal sukhaane ke liye. Abhi ke sar par bahot baal the, usske baal bhi thick the aur usska hairstyle khubsurat tha jiss se usska look aur bhi behtar hota tha. bahot baal the Abhi ke sar par, full kale baal jo usske gore rang ko bada suit karta tha. Ruhi jab usske sar ko rub kar rahi thi to Shweta Abhi ke kaan ko apne muthi mein pakar kar noch rahi thi, jaise ek khilona tha abhi ke kaan, aur Ruhi ne Shweta ke muthi par chotta sa chamaat lagate hue kaha,

“kyun mere Abhi ke kaan noch rahi ho tum!”

Abhi ko wo moment bahot pyara lag raha tha ke Ruhi usske baalon mein towel rub kar rahi thi, ussko lag raha tha wo apne ghar mein hai aur usski patni wo sab kar raha tha…..

Shweta ne jawaab diya Ruhi ko,

“kia yeh aap ki Abhi hai? Kyun yeh aap ka Abhi hai didi?!”

To jaldi se Ruhi ne Shweta ke munh par apne haath rakha taake andar se Manoj usski awaaz nah sunein, aur Ruhi ki maa hanssne lagi.

Ab Manoj se kyun Ruhi, Abhi ke saath apna rishta chhupa rahi thi yeh wohi jaane, magar Manoj ko sab dikh to raha tha kyunke shuru se jab bhi Abhi aur Ruhi baat karte ya aas paas hote the to Manoj donon ko dekh kar muskurata tha hamesha, matlab ussko personally pata tha ke donon ek dusre ko pasand karte hein, phir bhi pata nahin kyun Manoj se Ruhi ya to darrti thi ya chhupana chahti thi. Manoj Ruhi ka bada bhai tha, ghar ka bada beta tha, Mahesh, Ruhi se chhota tha, aur badi behen jisski shadi ho chuki hai wo Manoj ke baad thi. Matlab Manoj pehla aulad tha uss family ka.

Kuch der baad Abhi ne Ruhi se ahiste se kaha ke ussko nahana hai, aur underwear nahin hai usske paas, aur raat ko sone ke liye kapde bhi nahin hai.

To Ruhi ne yeh baat apni maa se kaha to maa ne Mahesh ka ek underwear, short aur Tshirt diya Abhi ko.

Jab Abhi nahane jaa raha tha thik tabhi Manoj bhi apne kamre se nikla towel aur underwear ke saath, aur dekha Abhi nahane jaa raha hai to Abhi se kaha,

“okay pehle tum ho aao,” Aur Abhi ne kaha, “nahin its okay pehle tum ho aao tab main naha lunga”

Magar aakhir mein Abhi hi gaya nahane.

Jab Abhi naha raha tha tab Manoj ne Ruhi ke saamne apni maa se sawaal kiya,

“Meri samajh mein nahin araha ke kyun aur kaise aaj Abhi hamare yahan thehra hai, aap samjao mujhe maa!”

Maa ne Ruhi ko dekha aur Ruhi apni maa ko. To Manoj ne Ruhi se pucha,

“Tu bata sakti hai? Kia yeh tere kehne par ruka hai? Ya tere liye ruka hai?!”

Maa ne jawaab diya,

“are ahin ussko late ho gaya tha aaj aur usske sheher jaane wale buses miss ho gaye to main ne hi kaha ke kyun taxi ko pata nahin kitna paisa dena padega, to hamare yahan ruk jaaye!”

Manoj ne phir bhi Ruhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Magar tu badi khush ho rahi ke wo yahan thehra hai kyun? Kahan gaye the tum donon mere ghar aane se pehle?!”

Ruhi sar jhukaaye hue niche dekh kar hanssi aur kaha,

“wo apne ghar phone karke bataane gaye the ke wo aaj ghar nahin arahe hein!”

Tab Manoj ne kaha,

“magar usska taxi ka bhaada to Mehboob ko dena chahiye tha nah? ya ussko Mehboob ke yahan rukna tha hamare ghar kyun aya yeh jaanna chahta hoon main!”

Maa ne kaha,

“are tum kyun itne sawaal karne lage main ne khud ussko yahan rukne ke liye kaha kaun si badi baat ho gayi?”

Tab Manoj ne Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue hi kaha,

“badi baat yeh hai ke Ruhi ke liye ruka hamare yahan wo aur Ruhi khush hai ke Mehboob ke bajae hamare yahan ruka!”

Ruhi ne dhime awaaz mein kaha,

“To kia hua bhai?!”

Manoj: “kia lagta hai wo tera?!”

Ruhi: “kuch nahin!”

Manoj: “to tujhe kyun Khushi hai ke wo hamare yahan ruke?!”

Ruhi: “main ne kab kaha ke mujhe Khushi hai?!”

Manoj: “dikh raha hai mujhe!”

Maa ne donon ko rokte hue kaha

“Chhup ho jao tum donon, are Manoj donon dost hein, humumar hein ek dusre se baatein karte hein din mein ek dusre se jaan pehchaan ho gaye hein to kia ho gaya?!”

Manoj: “maa ya aur koyi baat hai? Main kuch aisi waisi baat nahin sunna chahta hoon, agar mujhe kuch aisi waisi baat ka pata baad mein chala to mujhse bura koyi nahin hoga keh deta hoon. Aaj ruk gaya hai, ghar aaye mehmaan ko kuch nahin keh sakta, magar khabardaar agar aayinda aisa hua to!”

Itna kehkar Manoj wahan se nikal gaya aur Ruhi rone lagi apni maa ke seene se lag kar. Maa ne uss se kaha,

“Chhup kar wo aisa hi hai usski fikar mat kar…. “

Dinner ke time sab kitchen mein ekatha hue. Aur Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi uss se doorie kiye hue hein. Abhi baar baar Ruhi ke taraf dekh raha tha aur ussko acha nahin lag raha tha ke Ruhi uss se door hai. Ruhi ko bhi pata tha ke Abhi ko acha nahin lag raha hoga to usska mann behlaane ke liye ussne Shweta ko Abhi ke paas jaane ko kaha dhire se.

Shweta jab Abhi ke paas gayi to Abhi ke goad mein ghuss ke baith gayi, Ruhi aur usski maa dinner serve karne lage. Ruhi ne dhire dhire apne maa se kuch kaha serve karte waqt. Dada ji ko, Manoj ko aur khud maa ne apne liye serve kar liya table par. Abhi ko nahin serve kiya. To dada ji ne pucha,

“Are Abhi ko bhi khane do nah!”

Tab Ruhi ne kaha,

“hum kamre mein khayenge dada ji!”

Aur Manoj ne ek nazar Ruhi ko dekha magar kuch nahin kaha.

Ruhi ne tab uss din ki tarah khud ki aur Abhi ka khana apni room mein legayi aur Abhi ko aane ko kaha. Shweta Ruhi ke maa ke saath chali gayi. Aur Abhi gaya Ruhi ke room mein.

Abhi yehi to chahta tha, usski dili tamanna thi ke donon akele ek saath khana kaaye aur ussi kamre mein khane ka mann tha usse yehi baat Ruhi se kehne ko socha tha nahate waqt magar naha kar wapas nikla to mauka nahin mila ussko Ruhi se baat karne ke liye. To kitna khush hua yeh dekh kar ke Ruhi ne bhi bilkool wohi socha jo Abhi ke dil mein tha. Donon ke beech jaise ek anjana connection hota tha, Jo Abhi sochta hota tha wohi Ruhi bhi sochti thi. Donon ke beech ek gehra connection tha….

roohani thi ya kia tha magar donon ek dusre se jaise bandhe hue the kissi tarah se. Aisa Abhi ko lagta tha aur sochta tha wo.

Jab donon Ruhi ke kamre mein chale gaye to Manoj shuru hua kitchen mein.

“Yeh kia hai? Kyun ussko especial treatment diya ja raha hai? Ghar ka jamai raja hai kia wo? Kyun Ruhi ke saath dinner karna chahiye usse? Hamaare saath yahan nahin kha sakta wo?!”

Dada ji ne kaha,

“are bache hein donon khane do ek saath kia burai hai?!”

Manoj ne apne dada ji ko bade bade aankhon se dekhte hue kaha,

“aap to chhup hi raho to behtar hai aap ki raye nahin maanga hai main ne!”

Budha dada chhup ho gaya, aur chup chaap khane laga. Usski jaise koyi ehmiyat hi nahin thi ghar mein. Budha tha 77 years ka, kamzor tha, patla sa tha, apne mein hi gum rehta tha magar ussko sab dikhta tha. Aur ussko pata tha ke Ruhi aur Abhi ek dusre ko passand karte hein aur ussko rishta passand tha.magar uss ghar mein usska koyi nahin sunta tha, sab ussko ignore maarte the, jaise wo tha hi nahin uss ghar mein.

Manoj ne apni maa se dobara pucha ke kyun Abhi aur Ruhi kamre mein khaa rahe hein, to maa ne bhi chhutkara paane ke liye kaha,

“Tu khud jaa kar Ruhi se kyun nahin puchta? Puch sakta hai? Jaa wahan jaakar puch le Ruhi se”

Maa ko pata tha ke Manoj itna to budtamiz nahin ke ek ghar aaye mehmaan ke samne jaakar kuch ghalat karega.

Raat ko kuch der baad sab log TV ke saamne baite serial dekh rahe the, unn dinon “HUM LOG” chalta tha har roz, jiss mein Ashok kumar kahani ko bayan karta tha. Bahot prachalit aur successful serial raha tha wo. Ab yaad nahin ke repeat tha ya first telecast tha. – Ruhi aur Abhi ek dusre ke bagal mein baithe the aur chhupa kar haath pakre hue the ek dusre ke. Jiss jagah par Manoj baita tha ussko nazar nahin ata donon ka haath pakarna.

Phir baat hui ke Abhi kahan soyega. Abhi ka bada mann tha ke Ruhi ke saath soye magar ussko pata tha ke wo mumkin nahin tha. Phir bhi kuch pal wo Ruhi ke aaghosh mein beetana chahta tha.

Ruhi ne kaha ke dada ji ke kamre mein soyega Abhi. Wahan ek bed khali tha iss liye. Ruhi ko pata tha ke ussne kyun dada ji ke kamre mein Abhi ko sone ko kaha. Usska kamra thik Ruhi ke kamre ke side mein tha, aur kabhi bhi Abhi Ruhi ke paas aa sakta tha ya Ruhi usske paas jaa sakti thi.

Karib 10 baje Manoj chala gaya sone aur Ruhi ki maa bhi Shweta ko lekar chali gayi apni kamre mein. Dada ji, Ruhi aur Abhi baithe rahe TV ke saamne. Ab Abhi ne Ruhi ko bahon mein bhar liya tha, donon kiss karte to kabhi phussur phussur baat karte, ke suna dada ji armchair par kharaate maar rahe hein to Ruhi ne ussko jagaya aur apne kamre mein jaane ko kaha. Ussi time Abhi ke bed ko bhi tayaar kar diya Ruhi ne aur donon gaye Ruhi ke kamre mein usski bed par kuch der saath rehne ke liye.

Kuch der sath baith kar ek dusre ko caress kiya, kiss kiya aur Ruhi ne kaha ussko change karna hai, apni nightdress pehenna tha usse. To ussi kamre mein Abhi ke maujoodgi mein Ruhi ne dress chahge kiya magar almaari ke darwaze ko khol kar usski aadh mein change kiya…. Phir bhi Abhi usski jism ke kuch hisson ko dekh paa raha tha jaise usski peeth, kaandhe par bra ke strap aur Ruhi ne bra utara jo Abhi ne full dekha, aur wo utejit hua….

Jab Ruhi wapas aayi bed par apni nightdress mein, wo lamba tha full niche tak, magar Abhi ko pata tha ke andar bra nahin pehna tha Ruhi ne aur usski gori baahein dikh rahe the pura kyunke dress sleevless tha.

Abhi ne Ruhi ko jakar liya aur bed par leyta kar chumne laga. Ruhi ne surrender kar diya tha khud ko, jaise wo chahti thi ke Abhi uss se humbistar hoe. Abhi ka haath dhire dhire kiss ke dauraan Ruhi ke baazu ko sehlaate hue upar usski kaandhe tak ruke, phir dusra haath Ruhi ke dress ke niche usski tang par ferrte hue kaafi upar usski jaanghon tak pahunch chuka tha aur iss se pehle ke aur upar jata Ruhi ne usska haath rok liya apne haath ko upar se daba kar.

Abhi Ruhi ke upar chadh chuka tha, aur ab wo Ruhi ke gardan par apne jeeb ferr raha tha, Ruhi hanff rahi thi aur Abhi ka ek haath ab usski urujon ko daba raha tha, to Ruhi ne tadapti awaaz mein ahiste se kaha,

“please ruk jao, Stop Abhi mujh se saha nahin jaega, main khud ko rok nahin paungi, please stop nah!

Ruhi ke boobs ko aur dabaate hue Abhi ne ghurrate hue kaha,

“yehi to main chahta hoon sweetheart, khud ko mere hawaale kardo nah, puri tarah se….”

Abhi ki awaaz daba hua tha, usske bhi saansein jaise full rahe the, aur usska haath iss baar Ruhi ke dress ko itna upar utha chuka tha jiss se ruhi ke boobs Abhi ke saamne tha, tab Abhi ne niche ke taraf dekha to Ruhi ki pantie dikh raha tha, Abhi ko khud pata nahin chala ke kab ussne usski nightdress ko utna upar utha liya tha….. Ruhi ko adhnangi dekh kar Abhi sharminda hua aur jaldi se usski dress ko niche karke ussko dhaank diya aur Ruhi se sorry kaha.

Ruhi ne Abhi ke gaal ko sehlaate hue pyar se usske chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“You do not have to be sorry Abhi, I was letting you move up my dress, main aap rok nahin rahi thi, issme tumhari koyi ghalati nahin hai.”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke gaalon ko chumte hue kaha,

“mujhe hosh hi nahin tha ke main ne itna utha diya tha tumhare dress ko, pata hota to nahin karta…. Sorry again.

”

Ruhi Abhi ko ghaur se dekhte hue kaha,

“Abhi samajh lo ke yeh hamari first night hai shadi ke baad tab bhi tum aisa karte kia?!”

Abhi ne bade pyar se Ruhi ko chumte hue kaha,

“Tab baat aur hoti, tab main tumhare nahin apne ghar mein hota, aur tab sab official hota nah? hamare pas yeh sab karne ki license hota, abhi alag baat hai nah!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke chaati ko chumte hue kaha,

“uss din to tum kuch ziada hi karna chahte the to aaj kyun nahin?!”

Abhi: “pata nahin aaj mahaul alag lag raha hai, uss din ghar par koyi nahin tha, aaj dimaagh mein yeh baat hai ke Manoj hai, aunty hai, Shweta bhi hai…to mahaul bilkool alag hai aaj aur upar se raat hai aaj!!”

Lag raha tha aaj Ruhi utejit ho rahi thi, kyunke ussne khud apne haath ko Abhi ke short ke upar usske ling ke upar rakha aur ek rijhaati hui ada mein kaha,

“uss din to aap ne mere haath ko khinch kar yahan rakha tha aur mujhse kuch aur chahte the aap, aaj wo nahin chahiye aap ko?!”

Abhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue, aur Ruhi ki tarasti nazron ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Sweetheart chahiye to mujhe bahot kuch, bahot ziada kuch chahiye tumse, tumhari gehraayi mein samaa jaane ko dil karta hai, tumhare saanson mein ghul jaane ko maan karta hai, tumhare aahon mein mil jaane ko mann karta hai, tumhare dil mein utar jaane ko mann karta hai, tumhare ek ek ang ko apne angon mein basaane ko mann karta hai magar darrta hoon; darta hoon ke tumko ruswa nah kardun, dar hai ke yeh sab karke tumko kho nah baithun, darrta hoon ke kal tum yeh nah kaho ke main ne ghalat faeda uthaya tumhara iss liye behtar hai ke uss kamre mein chala jaun ab!”

Abhi dada ji ke kamre mein sote hue soch raha tha ke aaj ussne Ruhi ko pyasa chorr diya. Usski pyas nahin bujhayi ussne. Ruhi pyasi thi isska ehsaas ho raha tha Abhi ko.

Abhi gehri neendh mein thi, bich raat mein Ruhi teen baar usske paas aayi thi isska Abhi ko bilkool pata nahin chala, pata chala to yeh ke Ruhi ussko subha 6 baje jaga rahi thi uthne ke liye, kaam par jaane ke liye.

Update 28 Abhi Returns Home​

Abhi 6.30 ko bus mein chala gaya tha kaam shuru bhi kar diya tha. Koyi aur aaya hi nahin tha. Mehboob ya Rahima ko pata bhi nahin chala ke Abhi Ruhi ke ghar thehra tha. Sab soye hue the jab wo washroom gaya apne kaam karne wale kapda pehenne.

Ruhi aur Abhi ek saath kitchen mein baith kar chai piye the, usske baad wapas Ruhi ke kamre mein donon ne lamba passionate kiss kiye, Abhi ne kapda badla, Mahesh ka kapda wapas kiya, magar underwear Mahesh ka hi pehne rakha, Ruhi se kaha kal parson tak ghar se dhulwa ke wapas kar dega magar Ruhi ne ussko rakhne ke liye kaha.

Manoj 6 baje ghar se nikal gaya tha apne kaam par jaane ko. To uss se mulakaat hi nahin hui. Ruhi tab tak apni nighty mein hi thi bina bra ke. Jiss waqt usski bedroom mein Abhi ussko kiss kar raha tha to wo bilkool chipki hui thi Abhi ke chaati par aur Abhi usski mulayaam boobs ko apne chest par feel kar raha tha achchi tarah se aur ussko laga ke Ruhi jaan bujh kar thoda sa ragadh raha tha khud ko Abhi ke jism se….. Abhi ko fir afsos hua ke ussne raat ko Ruhi ko pyasa hi chorr diya tha aur subha subha to usski pyas bujhana naaamumkin tha kyunke usski maa kitchen mein thi, dada ji uth chuke the to kuch ziada kuch karne ki possibilities nahin the.

Jab Abhi ne bus mein kaam shuru kar diya to jaise har subha ko jab Abhi apne ghar se ata tha, uss waqt wo Ruhi se usski khidki ke paas jaa kar milta tha, to Ruhi ne ussko yehi kaha tha ke 7 baje tak baahar se uss se khidki ke paas baat kare magar pata nahin kyun Abhi ne weisa nahin kiya balke kaam start kar diya tha. To Ruhi apne khidki se Abhi ko akele kaam karte hue dekh rahi thi.

Jab 7 baje Saeed aur baaki ke log aaye to sab ne dekha ke apne khidki se Ruhi Abhi ko dekh rahi hai. Jab koyi pyar mein dooba hota hai to ussko pata nahin chalta ke dusre log unnko dekh rahe hein, pyar karne wale ko sirf apna pyar dikhaayi deta hai, Ruhi aur Abhi ke bhi yehi haal tha uss aangan mein. Koyi kissi ka parwah kiye baghair donon ek dusre ko ishara karte, ishare se baat karte, aur milkar bhi baat karte jaise sab normal the, upar se Ruhi aksar jeeb se chidhata Abhi ko aur wo lagbhag sab logon ne kayi baar dekha hua tha.

Kaam karte hue Abhi ek chiz ko soch kar usse miss kar raha tha. kia tha wo? Usski diary!! Kal raat agar wo ghar hota to kal ke baare mein sab kuch likh chuka hota. Ab soch raha tha ke aaj raat ko ussko kal ki 24 hours likhna hoga plus aaj ka din bhi. Yeh sab sochte hue kaam kar raha tha aur muskura raha tha kal raat ke moments ko sochte hue. Jab muskura raha tah ussi waqt udhar se Ruhi bhi unn palon ko soch kar muskura rahi thi jo donon ne kal raat ko ek sath bitaaye the, aur donon ke nazrein turant milte to donon ek dusre ko dekh kar hanss padte the. Aur yeh sab baaki ke log notice kar rahe the.

To ab sab normal guzarne laga aur lunch time ke baad Abhi gaya Ruhi se baat karne to ussne piche ke darwaze se Abhi se ghar ke piche milne aayi. Lunch time khatam hone tak donon ek dusre ke baahon mein rahe, kiss vaghaira karte, Abhi ka haath Ruhi ke jism ke kuch ziada hi andar ferrne laga tha aur Ruhi mana nahin kar rahi thi ab ussko chhune se.

Jab lunch ke baad Abhi kaam karne wapas gaya to Ruhi ek baar kuch kapde dho rahi thi jiss mein Abhi ka underwear tha, aur Ruhi ne ishare se kuch kaha Abhi se. Abhi gaya usske paas puchne to Ruhi ne kaha aaj shaam ko ghar wapas jaane se pehle usska underwear sukh jaega to ussko de degi lejaane ke liye.

Phir Ruhi sone chali gayi aur shaam ko 3 bajne ke baad kitchen ki chaukath par dikhaayi diye. Uss dauraan Shweta kayi baar Abhi se milne aayi bus ke andar, baahar, bagal mein, peyr ke paas, haar jagah. Aur kitchen se Ruhi Shweta ko dekhti rahi Abhi ke saath.

Shaam ko sab normal guzra aur washroom se hokar Abhi nikla ghar wapas jaane ke liye, to Ruhi ne ussko ghar ke piche aane ka ishara kiya kitchen ke chaukath se.

Assal baat yeh thi ke ab Ruhi Abhi ko bahot miss karne lagi thi, ussko pata tha ke ab Abhi chala jaega aur kal shaam aur raat ki tarah aaj usske saath nahin rahega, to Ruhi ko bahot udaas feel ho raha tha. Usska dil chahta tha aaj ke shaam aur raat bhi kal ki tarah guzre, ke Abhi aaj bhi wahin rahe usske paas, usske kareeb.

Jab Abhi ghar ke piche gaya to Ruhi uss se lipat gayi aur zor se Abhi ko jakar kar ussko chaaron taraf usske chehre par, chhaati par, gaal par, munh par chumne lagi. Ruhi ki baahein Abhi ke gale mein bandha hua tha aur wo Abhi ko chorr hi nahin rahi thi, ek kiss kiye donon ne, aur Ruhi ab kiss ko hi khatam nahin kar rahi thi, Abhi ne taaqat se ussko khud se door karte hue kaha,

“Aaj mujhko sach mein buss miss karwana hai kia? Kal milte hein nah sweetheart. Ab to jaane do nah baba!”

Ruhi ne ek natkhati adaa mein kaha,

“Nah! main nahin jaane dungi aaj bhi aap ko, mujhe aap ki ab zaroorat hai.”

Abhi ne bade pyar se kaha,

“Samajhta hoon my love, magar ghar bhi to jaana hai nah mujhe, ghar par sab meri raah dekh rahe honge, maa aur Naina fikar kar rahe honge, kal subha 6 baje yahan ajaunga aur yahin milenge donon aur sath rahenge 7 baje tak okay?!”

To Ruhi ne pucha,

“Achcha aap mujhe yeh batao ke kal raat itna acha mauka mila tha aap ko mere saath aap ne kyun kuch nahin kiya? I was waiting for that you know?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Are isska jawaab to kal raat ko hi de diya tha nah tumko? Atmosphere sahi nahin tha nah? Hum akele nahin nah the jaise uss din ko the jiss din tumari mummy nani ke yahan gayi thi.”

Ruhi: “Raat thi, tanhaayi thi, hum akele hi the, khamoshiyan the, aur kia chahiye the atmosphere banana ke liye? Kitni haseen raat thi kal? Aap ko pata hai main kal raat 3 baar aayi thi aap ke paas jab aap neendh mein the, iss umeed se ke aap ko jaga kar apne saath apne kamre mein lechalun, magar aap bahot gehre neendh mein the to disturb karna achha nahin laga… Aap sote hue kitna handsome aur sexy lagte ho pata hai aap ko?”

Abhi: “hmmm bilkool jaise main ne tumko uss din sote dekha tha, to tum ne bhi mujhko sote hue dekh hi liya, hisaab barabar hehehe”

Ruhi: “Aap ko mazaak sujh raha hai do you know what I went through? Can you understand that?”

Aabhi: “Do you really think I do not understand? And can you feel and understand what I had felt the day I had seen you sleeping? Do you know how much I was longing for you? I so dearly wanted to come on the bed by your side at that very moment and wished to make love to you, and you were looking so hot and sexy, if that stupid Reza had not been there I was sure to be on the bed by your side that day.”

Abhi ko sunke Ruhi ke aankhon mein ek chamak dikhi, aur ussne Abhi ko bahot sensually kiss kiya, aur usski aah nikal rahi thi kiss karte hue, usski jism mein jaise ek aag bhadakne lagi thi, aur apne jeeb ko Abhi ke gaal par ferrte hue Ruhi ne whisper mein apni garam saans chorrte hue kaha,

“I so badly now need you Abhi, please stay, issshhhh, I want you really bad!”

Abhi: “Sorry sweetheart it’s not the right time honey and not the suitable place for that. We are unfortunate because when the time was right you were not willing, and when you were ready last night, I knew it, but then I was not willing, its sad, we are not synchronised that way I see. But don’t worry, the suitable time and moment will soon be by our side.”

Ruhi e munh banaate hue kaha,

“thik hai phir jao aur kabhi wapas mat aana aap!”

Abhi ne usske aankhon mein dekhte hue usske donon aankhon ko kiss kiya aur kaha,

“haaye yeh ghussa bhi kitni khubsurat hai, chaar chand laga deta hai iss chehre par, jaaneman, zuban ne to keh diya magar ye aankhen meri raah takte rahenge kal subha tak aur ho sakta hai raat bhar sapnon mein bhi main hi bassa rahunga inn aankhon mein…”

Ruhi pighal gayi aur phir se lipat gayi Abhi se yeh kehte hue,

“hmmm aur aap in aankhon ko tarpa kyun rahe ho Abhi, innko aap hi ka intezaar rehta hai, uff kaise raat kategi aaj meri?!”

Abhi: “Shweta ko apne saath rakhna, uss ke saath meri batein karna, main tum donon ke yaadon aur baton mein to present rahunga nah hote hue bhi, hmm thik hai sweetheart?!”

Ek last kiss kiye donon ne, Ruhi ne ussko usska underwear diya ek kagaz mein lapet kar aur Abhi wahan se nikal chala….. Jab tak wo main road nahin pahuncha Ruhi ussko dekhti rahi.

Jab Abhi bus mein baith gaya, aur bus wahan se guzra to dekha ke Ruhi Shweta ke saath ussko bus mein dekh rahe the, angan ke bus ke paas khade hokar. Yeh pehli baar hua tha ke Ruhi bus ke paas aakar Abhi ko bus mein jaate hue dekh rahi thi aur aaj Ruhi ne Aabhi ko wave kiya Shweta ke saath.

Ghar wapas aakar sabse pehle Abhi ne apni diary likhna shuru kiya. Kal jo kuch bhi hua Ruhi ke sath usske ghar mein, usski kamre mein, kiss tarah Ruhi ne change kiya, kaise bra nikali etc sab kuch Abhi ne detail mein likha apne diary mein. Aur apne feelings ko deeply likha Abhi ne. Ye bhi likha ke abhi aane se pehle Ruhi ne uss se kaha ke kal raat 3 baar wo Abhi ko dekhne aayi thi beech raat mein aur Ruhi ne kaha ke wo kitna handsome aur sexy dikhta hai sote hue….. baaki sab kuch likha Abhi ne jaise har roz din kaise guzarta hai Ruhi ke aangan mein… wo sab likhte hue Abhi har raat ko un lamhon ko dobara jeeta hai har roz jaise abhi sab likhte hue Abhi wapas kal raat ke lamhon ko jee raha tha…..

Jab Abhi nahane chala gaya to hamesha ki tarah Naina ne wo sab padha jo Abhi ne likha tha. Naina jaanna chahti thi ke kal raat bhar Abhi kahan ruka tha, aur wohi padha Naina ne jisska ussko shak tha, matlab Naina ko shak tha ke Abhi Ruhi ke ghar hi ruka hoga…..

Jab Abhi naha kar wapas apne kamre mein aya to Naina diary haath mein liye Abhi ko dekh rahi thi aur kaha,

“Bhai she is not a virgin? Magar kyun ussne detail nahin bataayi aap ko?”

To be continued….

Update 29 The next Day​

Jab Abhi naha kar wapas apne kamre mein aya to Naina diary haath mein liye Abhi ko dekh rahi thi aur kaha,

“Bhai she is not a virgin? Magar kyun ussne detail nahin bataayi aap ko?”

Ab aaguey….

Abhi ne Naina ki baat sunkar realise kiya ke ussko wo part nahin likhna chahiye tha, likhte waqt wo bhool hi gaya tha ke Naina wo sab padhne wali hai. To wo jaldi se naina ke paas jaate hue ussko phuslaate hue pehle to yeh kaha ke uss baare mein maa ko bilkool bhi nahin batana hai. Wo ek secret ki tarah sab se ghar mein chhupana hai. Naina maan gayi ke apni maa se wo baat nahin bataegi, magar phir bhi pucha ke detail kyun nahin bataayi Ruhi ne.

To Abhi ne naina ko yeh kehte hue samjhaya,

“Naina, ab tumhi batao kia iss baat ko aur ziada puch kar ussko pareshaan karta kia? Kia yeh thik hota ke aise nazuk baat ko main uss mauke par uss se aur ziada puch sakta tha, phir bhi main ne pucha to tha nah ke kiss ne kiya kaise hua, kaun tha wo…. Yehi sab puchne ke liye main ne 100 bar socha pehle, ussne batana shuru kiya phir ruk gayi yeh kehte hue ke wo uss baare mein baat nahin karna chahti. Ab tumhi socho Naina, agar usske saath koyi durghatna type kuch hua hoga to kia agar usske baare mein baat karti to wo unn dinon ko wapas nahin jeeti? Ussko aur dukh nahin hota? Hota nah? To main nahin dukh pahuchana chahta tha ussko issi liye main ne aur nahin pucha!”

Naina ne phir bhi kaha,

“bhai magar ussko aap ko batana chahiye tha nah?”

Abhi ne Naina se kaha.

“Nainu, maan lo ke tum Ruhi ho aur tumhare saath kuch weisa hua ho to kia tumko achcha lagega agar uss baare mein koyi tumse sawaal kare aur tumko sab kuch detail mein bataane ke liye kahe? Tumko acha lagega uss baare mein phir se sab kuch detail mein bataane ko? Bolo? Are filmon mein nahin dekha ke court mein kissi ladki ko kiss tarah se blame kiya jata hai agar kissi mard ne usske saath rape kiya ho ya zabardasti kiya ho to uss ladki se kiss tarah ke sawaal kiya jata hai aur ussko sab bataane mein kitni sharmindagi mehsoos hoti hai? To socho Ruhi ko kaisa feel hoga wo sab bataane mein?! Main ne yeh sab socha iss liye aur kuch pucha hi nahin….. Agar kabhi Ruhi ko batana hai to bataegi, magar main kabhi bhi iss baat ko nahin cherunga, Main uss se pyar karta hoon usski virginity se nahin, mere liye usska koyi importance hi nahin hai!”

Naina ne apne bhai ke baaton ko sunkar ussko zor se gale lagaya aur kaha,

“Mujhko mere bhai par garv hai. God bless you bhai!”

To iss baare mein phir kabhi Naina aur Abhi mein baat nahin hui. Aur naina ne kissi ko bhi ghar mein iss baare mein bataya hi nahin. Yeh baat sirf bhai aur behen ke beech hi rahi.

Magar uss shaam ko Naina ne Abhi ko bahot chedda yeh puchte aur anumaan lagaate hue ke kal raat Ruhi ke saath kia kia kiya ussne, ke ek full raat guzara ussne Ruhi ke saath to kitni haseen raat hui hogi donon ke….

Ab uss raat ko diary mein Abhi ne ab apne feelings ko likha aur ussko uss waqt kia feel ho raha tha, Ruhi ko kitna chahta hai aur miss kar raha hai wo sab likha uss ne. Abhi ne yeh bhi likha….

“I am waiting for that day when Ruhi will be here on this bed together with me and I will make her read all this. She will then read and know what I was going through the days I worked in her yard. Those were the most beautiful days of my life which I will never forget. I met love, I met the one I was waiting for, I met my soul mate in that yard. And I am grateful to God and my job. If I was not doing this job I would never have gone there, would have never known her, would have never met her….”

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

Subha 6 baje Abhi wahan pahunch gaya tha aur Ruhi uss se pehle tayyar Abhi ka wait kar rahi thi apne kamre ki khidki par tek lagaaye, Main rod par nazrein bichaaye ke kaun si bus se Abhi ayega. Har bus jo guzarti Ruhi kehti ‘ab aega, ab aya hoga, iss bus mein to zaroor aega….’ Aur jab Abhi ko dekha main road se usski aangan mein daakhil hote hue Ruhi ki aankhen bhar aayi…. Badi emotional thi wo bhi, chhoti chhoti baton mein usski aankh bhar aati thi, jaise asaani se aankhen chalak jaati thi usski, ab kia sochte hue usski aankhe iss waqt Abhi ko dekh kar chalki thi yeh wohi jaane.

Abhi ki nazrein bhi aangan mein daakhil hote hue sabse pehle usski khidki par hi pade the aur donon ke nazrein chaar hue, Abhi Khushi se muskuraya kyunke wo raaste bhar Ruhi ko sochte hue hi safar kiya tha, ussi ko dil o dimaagh mein basaaye hue ata tha har subha. To Ruhi bhi ussi ko dekhti rahi aur Abhi seedha uss khidki tak gaya, aur ooncha hone se ussko bilkool takliff nahi hui apne gaal ko Ruhi ke honth ke paas karne ko, jiss par Ruhi ne bade pyar se puppy diya, aur khidki se hi Ruhi ne apne donon baazu ko Abhi ke gale mein daal diya aur Abhi ne bhi Ruhi ko pakar liya jiss se Ruhi ka aadha jism khidki ke baahar agaya tha, aur donon zoron se hanssne lage….. Ruhi ko Abhi ne finally kamre ke baahar nikal diya uss khidki se, nange payr Ruhi ab baahar thi aur donon ke hanssi nahin ruk rahe the to andar se Ruhi ki maa ne jab donon ko hansste suna to dekhne aayi, aur wo Ruhi ki kamre mein aayi to dekha ke Ruhi baahar hai Abhi ko thaam kar zoron se donon hanss rahe the…..

Ab maa khidki se tek lagaya aur donon ko dekhte hue samajhne ki koshish kar rahi thi ke kia hua, to Ruhi apni maa ko dekh kar aur bhi zoron se hanssne lagi, maa ne pucha ke hua kia kyun paagalon ki tarah hanss rahi hai,to Ruhi ne kaha;

“ma meri chapal do nah, main nange peyr hoon!!”

To maa ne wapas kamre mein dekha ke Ruhi ki slippers andar hai to ab ussne realise kiya aur hansste hue pucha,

“kia tum khidki se baahar gayi? Kaise?!!”

Ruhi ziada zorr se hansste hue apne ungli ko Abhi ke taraf karte hue kaha,

“mujhko Abhi ne nikala hihihihihihihihihi!”

Abhi ki hanssi bhi nahin ruk raha tha, to Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“yeh chorron wali kaam hoti hai khidki se andar ana ya baahar jaana Abhi kia tum meri beti ko bhaga ke lejaane ko to nahin plan kiya hai?!”

Iss par Abhi bhi ziada hanssne laga phir kaha,

“Agar aap ne isska haath mujhe nahin sompa to yehi karna hoga mujhe, issi khidki se uda le jaunga Ruhi ko ek din!!”

Ruhi ki maa ne usski slippers diya Ruhi ko aur Ruhi ne tab ussko pehna aur Abhi ka haath pakar ke ghar ke piche legayi apni romance karne wale kone mein kuch pyar ke lamhe guzaarne ke liye Abhi ke saath…..

Uss daruan chipka chipki mein Ruhi ka haath Abhi ke pant ke pocket par pada jahan ussko laga ke cigarette ka packet tha, usske jeb mein haath dala Ruhi ne to nikla ek notebook. Abhi ke paas hamesha ek chota sa notebook hua karta tha, laal rang ka, aur pen to beshak hamesha Abhi ke kamiz ke buttonhole mein hua karta tha, jo aksar Ruhi ke baal mein fanss jaya karta tha. Pen Parker tha Abhi ke paas jiska refil wo change karta tha ink end hone ke baad. Silver colour ka parker pen hua karta tha Abhi ka.

Uss din Ruhi ne Abhi ka wo notebook liya aur kaha,

“Main ne aap ke letter ka jawaab nahin diya tha nah? To yeh notebook mere saath rehne do aaj iss mein main kuch likhungi aap ke liye, shaam ko jaate waqt le lena wapas, aur apna Parker pen bhi dijiye, issi se likhungi, aise menhge pen se kabhi likha hi nahin main ne life mein.”

Abhi ne de diya apne notebook aur pen donon Ruhi ko.

Din mein jab Abhi kaam mein laga hua tha to dekha ke achaanak Ruhi ki maa bahot tez kadmon se aangan se guzarte hue main road ke taraf jaa rahi thi… Abhi ko kuch samajh mein nahin aya ke kia hua, lagta tha kuch hua tha, phir ek pal baad Ruhi bhi usske piche gayi, Abhi bus ke andar tha aur kuch pucha nahin magar Ruhi ko nazron se follow kiya, to dekha ke road ko cross kiya maa beti donon ne, road cross karne ke baad to filling station hota tha aur donon ussi taraf gaye…..

Abhi bus se nikla aur dada ji se puchne gaya ke kia hua kahan gaye donon dhadpadaate hue?

Dada ji ne bataya ke Ruhi ke papa ne phone kiya hai Saudi Arabia se, ussi se baat karne gaye hein donon. To Abhi ne pucha to ghar mein idhar donon ko kaise pata chala ke wahan phone aya hua hai? Tab dada ji ne kaha ke filling se koyi aya tha bulaane ko.

Aur lunch time mein jab Abhi Ruhi se mila to pucha kia kaha usske pita ne to Ruhi ne kaha ke do hafte baad wo wapas arahe hein. Ruhi khush thi, usski maa bhi. Wo teen saal se S.Arabia mein tha. Abhi ne Ruhi se usske papa ke baare mein sawaal kiya ke wo kaisa aadmi hai, strict hai, severe hai, bold hai ya kaisa hai. To Ruhi ne kaha,

“mera papa CREAM hai. Bilkool makhan. 100% naram mizaj ka insaan hai, bilkool cool, thanda dimagh wala, jisko ghussa karna hi nahin ata kabhi.”

Abhi khush hua aur kaha,

“Tab to ussko hamare baare mein pata chala to ussko eitraz bilkool bhi nahin hoga?!”

Ruhi ne Khushi se kaha,

“bilkool bhi nahin, main ne haan kaha to wo kabhi ek word bhi nahin bolega, jiss mein meri Khushi ussi mein usski.”

Abhi: “great then, I am lucky!”

Ruhi: “haan iss maamle mein aap bilkool lucky hi ho, you will love my papa very much I am sure!”

Abhi: “And he? Will he love me, and love me as a son-in-law?”

Ruhi: “Of course he will. My elder sister’s husband that is by bro in law is always loved and cherished my all at home, so will be you, rather you will be more special because you are younger, and very handsome, you are a hero and my dad will get a hero as a son in law so no doubt he will be happy and love you”

Abhi ne Ruhi ho apne baahon mein bhadte hue kaha,

“Tum mujhe chadha rahi ho nah? jo main tumko dikhta hoon, zaroori nahin ke tumhare papa ko bhi wohi dikhun, could be he will not like me at all!”

Ruhi: “okay jab wo aaye to khud hi dekh lena main kuch nahin kehne wali ab!”

Abhi: “hope ke hamaare yahan ke kaam end hone se pehle wo ajaaye.”

Ruhi: Aap ne kaha that 24th December ko end ho raha hai nah kaam? Aaj 8th hai, papa 19th ko arahe hein, so you will still be here!”

Abhi: “Great I will get 5 days to know him, wo bus ke paas zaroor aega, hum kia kaam kar rahe hein dekhne to aega, to main uss se bat karunga.”

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

Shaam ko kaam khatam karne ke baad Abhi jab washroom gaya to Ruhi nazar nahin arahi thi. Balke pehle ek ghante se nazar nahin aayi thi aur Abhi ko bilkool achcha nahin lag rahaa tha, ussne seeti bhi bajayi uss gaane ki phir bhi Ruhi nahin dikhi aur na hi usski maa nazar arahi thi aur Mehboob Saeed se baat kar raha tha thik bus ke saamne. Abhi ko darr tha ke kahin ussko bina Ruhi ko dekhe hi ghar wapas nah jaana par jaaye aaj.

Aur jab bus ko pass kiya Abhi ne aur Ruhi ke khidki ke taraf dekha, to Ruhi nazar aayi usska intezaar karte hue pata nahin kabse… Ruhi ussko kuch kehne jaa rahi thi magar Abhi ne uss se pehle apna notebook mang liya…… yeh chauthi baar hua tha ke Ruhi kuch kehne jaa rahi thi magar nahin kaha tha, yeh ghar jaakar Abhi ne note kiya tha diary mein ke 4 baar Ruhi ne kuch kehna chaha tha magar nahin keh paayi thi, aur diary mein exact din aur waqt likha hua tha.

To Ruhi gayi notebook aur Abhi ki pen laane tab tak Abhi Saeed se baat karne laga, magar saeed jaane laga to Mehboob ne Abhi se pucha ke ab wo kia wait kar raha hai, to Abhi ne kaha ke Ruhi ek book dene wala hai usse.

Phir Mehboob chala gaya aur Abhi wapas gaya khidki ke paas aur Ruhi ki maa kitchen ke chaukath se Abhi ko jaate hue dekh rahi thi muskuraate hue, to jab Abhi Ruhi se mila khidki ke paas to uss se kaha ke usski maa dekh rahi thi ussko iss taraf aate hue, to Ruhi ne kaha,

“dekhne do kia buraayi hai?!”

Apna pen aur notebook lene ke baad Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“ab jao kitchen ke stairs par please!”

Ruhi ne natkhati adaa mein hansste hue pucha,

“kyun?! Wahan kyun jaun main?!”

Abhi: “ofo tumko achi tarah se pata hai ke main ghar wapas jaate hue tumko dekhna passand karta hoon nah jao nah please….”

Aur abhi ne ussko bye kiya aur main road ke taraf badhne laga mudh kar dekhte hue ke Ruhi kitchen ke paas gayi ya nahin… aur main road reach hone se pehle dekha ke Ruhi ne usski baat maani aur aayi thi kitchen ke stair par aur Abhi ko dekhte hue muskuraa rahi thi….. yeh chhoti choti chizein Abhi ke liye bahot important tha, sirf Ruhi wahan nahin aati to Abhi ki shaam aur raat bahot bura guzarne wala tha.

Bus mein jaate waqt Abhi ne apne notebook check kiya to uss mein buss seikron love thoughts aur proverbs likha hua tha Ruhi ne…. muskuraat hue Abhi sab padhta gaya baar baar. Yeh pehli baar thi ke Ruhi ki handwriting mila tha Abhi ko wo bhi apne personal notebook mein, jissko Abhi umar bhar rakhne wala tha.

Update 30 Friends of Abhi At that Place​

Kaam advance stage par pahunch chuka tha. George mechanic ne engine start kar diya tha aur electrician ne saare wires fit kar diye the, engine ki connections se lekar pure bus mein saare bulbs, lights, headlights, flashers, wipers, indicator ke light sab sahi chalne lage the. Inn sab ko Abhi ke team ke saath milkar kaam chalana tha kyunke wires saare bus ke andar se pass hote the, to kayi baar eisa hua tha ke Abhi ya Saeed ki zaroorat pade the electricians ko unn logon ke help lene ke liye taake unn ke electric wires koyi aisi jagah se nahin guzre jiss se baad mein connection ke problems ho. Abhi ka George aur electrician se acha banta tha.

Ab time aya tha painter ko join karne ki. Ussko bus ko paint karna tha, magar usske liye Abhi ke team ko kaam finising tak karna tha tab wo paint kar paata. Magar phir bhi agaya tha primar paint lagaane sabhi unn jagahon par jahan Abhi ke team ne kaam complete kar diye the. Painter ka naam tha Sunil. Jiss din Sunil aya Abhi heyraan hua yeh dekh kar ke Sunil direct Ruhi se baat karne gaya aur donon kuch der tak baat karte rahe Ruhi ke kitchen ke paas.

Sunil ek bahot hi acha insaan tha. Usske chehre aur swabhav se dikhta tha ke wo kitna acha insaan hai. Usska chehra bahot sympathetic chehra tha, ek muskaan rehta tha hamesha usske chehre par. Lagbhag 30 se 35 saal ka hoga aur shadi shuda tha.

Abhi ke do bahot achche dost bane the Ruhi ke aangan mein kaam karte hue. Wo the George aur Sunil. George bhi kuch ussi type ka hassmukh insaan tha, jo kabhi bhi ghussa nahin karta aur cool rehta tha. Usska Abhi se hamesha banta tha khaas kar wo Abhi ko support karta tha Ruhi ke pyar ko lekar.

Aur Sunil bhi weisa hi insaan tha. Kehte hein nah, opposites get attracted to each other, to shayad Abhi ki issi liye unn donon se bahot banta tha kyunke Abhi hot temper wala tha, ussko ghussa bahot jaldi ata tha, ussko apne ghusse par kaabu rakhna nahin ata tha, aur weh donon Abhi ke opposite the, shayad iss liye unn donon se Abhi ki achchi dosti hui thi. Weh donon Abhi ko bahot passand karte the aur jab bhi Abhi ghussa hota kaam ko lekar to George aur Sunil hamseha Abhi ko shant karaate the.

Jab Sunil se Abhi ki dosti ho gayi to Sunil ko pata chala ke Abhi Ruhi se pyar karta hai, kaise pata nahin chalta jab bus ke saare logon ko pata tha aur sab dekh sakte the kiss tarah donon aapas mein ishaare se baat karte hein phir chhup kar ghar ke piche milte hein etc…. jab Sunil ne wo sab dekha to wo khush hua. Aur uss baare mein Abhi aur Sunil ki baat hui.

To donon ke dosti hone ke baad Abhi ko pata chala ke Sunil kuch saal pehle Ruhi ki badi behen se pyar karta tha. Ruhi ki behen bhi uss se pyar karti thi. Magar unn dinon Sunil bekaar tha, dhang ka kaam nahin tha usske paas, aur Ruhi ki behen ko bahot saare shaadi ke proposals arahe the. To Ruhi ke parents ne dabaav dala tha Sunil aur usske parents par ke agar weh chahte hein ke Sunil unnke beti se shaadi karen to Sunil ko koyi bhi kaam to karna hoga nah!

Aur Sunil ne khud Ruhi ke parents ko keh diya ke Ruhi ki badi behen ke liye koyi bhi dusre proposal ko accept kar lein. Sunil itna achah tha ke wo nahin chahta tha ke usski bekaari ki vajah se Ruhi ki behen ki zindagi barbaad ho aur kissi ache ghar ke rishte chuth jaye usski.

Sunil issi ilaake ka rehne wala tha, to sabse usski jana pehchaan the. Aur kyunke ussne khud Ruhi ki badi behen ko kahin aur shaadi karne ke liye azaadi de diye the, Ruhi ke parents ussko respect karte the. Apni bekaari ki vajah se ussne apne pyar ko qurbaan kiya tha.

Usske baad se hamesha Sunil aur Ruhi ki family se ek acha relationship bana raha. Ussko cheddte the wahan ke log ke wo miss hua jamaayi tha uss ghar ka.

Ruhi ki badi behen ki shaadi ke 5 saal baad Sunil ne kahin aur shaadi kiye, kyunke 5 saal baad Sunil ki life mein tabdiliyan aaye the, aur wo as painter ek company mein kaam karne laga tha.

Sunil ki shaadi mein Ruhi ki puri family invited the yahan tak ke Ruhi ki badi behen aur pati bhi aaye the. Usski pati ko kabhi bhi pata nahin chala ke Sunil kabhi usski patni se pyar karta tha.

To iss tarah se Ruhi tab chhoti thi magar usski dosti bhi bani rahi Sunil ke saath.

Jinn dinon Ruhi college jaati thi to Sunil ke ghar ke paas se guzar kar jaati thi, aur koyi ladka Ruhi ko chedta ya tang karta to Ruhi Sunil se kehkar ladkon ko bhagati thi.

Ab jab Abhi ko pata chala ke Sunil itna close hai uss family se to wo Sunil se Ruhi ke baare mein aur ziada janna chaha.

Sunil ko jab sab dikh gaya ke Abhi aur Ruhi ek dusre se kitna pyar karte hein to Sunil ne Abhi se kaha,

“Mujhe bahot Khushi hui yeh jaan kar ke tum Ruhi ko itna chahte ho. Ussko kabhi nahin chorrna, ussko bahot pyar dena, bahot achchi ladki hai wo!”

Abhi ko achcha laga Sunil ki unn baton ko sunkar. Aur ek din Abhi ne socha ke kia Sunil ko Ruhi ki virginity wali baat shayad pata hoga agar wo itna close hai unn logon se to……

Abhi ne yeh soch kar uss baat ko puchna chaha Sunil se, ke Sunil itna achcha insaan hai ke wo Abhi se kabhi jhoot nahin bolega, aur uss se sach nahin chhupaega. Abhi ko yakeen tha ke Sunil waisa insaan nahin hai ke weisi baat ko wo uchalega ya kissi se bhi kabhi uss baare mein baat karega. Sirf iss liye ussne ek din Ruhi ke baare mein baat karte hue pucha ke kia Ruhi ki life mein kabhi koyi tha? Kia Ruhi ne kabhi kissi se pyar kiya tha?

Jawaab mein Sunil ne bataya ke jinn dinon Ruhi college jaati thi, to tuition ke liye kissi ek teacher ke ghar jana padta tha ussko, aur unn dinon Ruhi ne Sunil ko bataya tha ke wo teacher uss se pyar karta hai, magar usske aage kia hua kabhi pata nahin chala. Magar Abhi ko virginity wali baat Sunil se puchne ki himmat nahin hui aur ussne yaad kiya ke Ruhi ne kaha tha ke kissi ko bhi nahin pata hai uss baare mein. To shukar hai ke Abhi ne uss baat ke baare mein nahin pucha Sunil se.

Sunil ne Abhi ko encourage kiya ke Ruhi ke pita bahot acha insaan hai usske aane ke baad Abhi uss se baat kar sakta hai aur uss se Ruhi ka haath maang sakta hai wo kabhi inkaar nahin karega, iss baat ka yakeen dilaya Sunil ne Abhi ko.

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

Agle din, subha ko jab Abhi kaam par pahuncha to dekha ke Ruhi savere savere kapde dho rahi thi, bahot saare kapde the usski bucket mein, Ruhi ne Abhi ko aate hue nahin dekha ussne peeth kiya hua tha Abhi se. Aur Abhi ko heyraani iss baat ki hui ke usski maa usske sath nahin thi to Abhi ne socha ke kyun aaj itne saare kapde Ruhi akeli dho rahi hai.

Wo usske paas gaya, ek dusre ko puppiyan diye donon ne aur 7 baje tak baat kiye, aur Abhi kaam par lag gaya apna.

Kaam karte waqt hamesha ki tarah Abhi seikron baar Ruhi ko dekh rahi thi aur wo bhi washing stone se hazaaron baar Abhi ko kabhi dekhti, kabhi hanssti, kabhi muskuraati….. eisa chalta raha, aur jab Ruhi kapde sukhne ko tang rahi thi to Abhi bus ke piche wale hisse par kaam kar raha tha jiss se Ruhi ko usse dekhne mein muskil ho raha tha to Abhi ne dekha ke kiss tarah se Ruhi baar baar hatt kar, jhuk kar ya jagah badal kar Abhi ko dekh rahi thi.

Aur jab Ruhi terrace par poncha lagaane aayi to usski maa saath thi aur Ruhi ne achanak apne jeeb nikaal kar chidhaya Abhi ko aur usski ma ne hansste hue uss se pucha,

“kiss ke saath jeeb nikali tumne!”

Ruhi ne ungli dikhaya Abhi ko dikhate hue aur zor se hanss padi…. Abhi ko bahot acha laga usski wo adaa….

Abhi sochta raha ke sirf ussi ke saath Ruhi weisa karti hai aur kissi ke saath bhi nahin, itne saare log hein bus mein kaam karte hue aur sirf Abhi ko jeeb se mock karti hai to matlab saaf hai ke sirf Abhi ke liye wo special treat tha. Jab Abhi naya tha uss aangan mein tab to Ruhi ne kabhi weisa nahin kiya tha Abhi ke saath sirf closeness badhne ke baad wo weisa karne lagi thi, to Abhi ke samajh mein aya ke yeh Ruhi ke taraf se Abhi ko pyar karne ka ek ishara tha…. Iss se Abhi ko bahot Khushi milti thi.

Lunch time mein jab donn baatein kar rahe the to kyunke Chritmas karib araha tha Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha ke wo ussko ek Christmas wishing card post karega ek letter ke saath, ussko dusri letter milega Abhi ke taraf se magar wo ussko haath mein nahin dega balke postman ussko wo laakar dega.

Ruhi ne mana kiya yeh kehte hue ke sabko pata chal jaega ke postman ne ussko Abhi ki letter diya hai, ussne mana kiya. Magar Abhi ne zid kiye ke wo weise hi post karega, aur kaha ke issi ilake mein post karega aur khud postman ko ussko deliver karte hue bhi dekega… Ruhi baar baar kehti rahi ke kuch nahin post karne ko….

Lunch ke baad Ruhi iss din ko din bhar Abhi ke saamne rahi. Sone nahin gayi thi wo, Abhi ke saamne rahi din bhar jo Abhi ko bahot acha laga.

Ek baar Ruhi farzinah ki bicycle chadh rahi thi, bus ke paas se guzri to Abhi ne ussko roka, wo bus ke piche ruki taake baaki ke log nahin dekh paaye ussko Abhi se baat karte hue. Ruk kar ussne apni meethi aur surili awaaz mein pucha,

“kia hai ji, kyun roka mujhko aap ne ji!”

Abhi ne pucha ke kyun wo nahin chahti ke Abhi ussko post se kuch send kare. To Ruhi ne kaha,

“I will get troubles with my parents.”

Abhi: “but you will receive it in your own hands, no one will know what was in the letter….”

Ruhi “no, no no!”

Abhi: “kyun? Iss se pehle koyi tha jo tumko khat vaghaira likhta tha? Penfriends the kia tumhare? Kissi ko likhti thi tum? Pata hai mere kayi penfriends hai, tumhare bhi rahe honge hai nah?!”

Saeed uss taraf aa rahe the to Ruhi ne nah kehte hue wahan se nikal gayi.

Usske baad Ruhi saamne hi rahi ….

Har roz karib 1 baje Rahima juice serve karti thi saare workers ko. Ek tray mein juice ke glasses hote the, jissko finish karne ke baad hamesha Abhi hi tray wapas karne jata tha. Aur aaj jab Abhi tray wapas karne jaa raha tha to Rahima ne Ruhi se kaha,

“please wo tray lelo Abhi se, main kuch aur liya hua hoon hath mein….

”

To Ruhi gayi Abhi ke haath se tray pakarne, ab Ruhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kaise tray sambhaale aur ek botal tha sath mein lene ko, to Abhi ne to ek haath se tray thama hua tha aur ek haath mein botal magar Ruhi ne donon haath se tray pakra to samajh nahin paa rahi thi ke kaise botal ko lein, iss liye Abhi usske chehre mein dekhte hue hanss raha tha, aur Ruhi jaise ladh rahi thi tray aur botal ke beech kia sambhaale, phir donon hanssne lage to Rahima khud aayi Abhi se tray pakarne aur Ruhi ne botal liya Abhi ke haath se aur jaate hue wohi apni jeeb se mock karti hui gayi Abhi ko aur kehti gayi,

“kitna bada haath hai usska, ek hi haath se tray pakra tha saare glasses ke saath, aur main donon haathon se tray nahin sambhal paa rahi thi!”

Ussko sunkar Abhi, George, Tony, Sunil sab hanssne lage.

Shaam karib 4 baje Abhi ko bus ke upar kaam karna tha. kadi dhoop thi, sab mahilaayein baahar aagan mein the, Ruhi ki maa, Ruhi, Rahima aur Shweta bhi. Abhi dhoop mein jhulaas raha tha, baar baar Ruhi ussko dekh rahi thi jaise afsos karte hue ke dhoop se Abhi bus ke upar jhulaas raha hai….

Abhi ne oonchi awaaz mein kaha,

“uff yeh garmi saha nahin jaa raha kissi ke paas koyi hat nahin hai mujhe iss dhoop se bachne ke liye”

Turant Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Ruhi jaa apne dada ki hat dede Abhi ko dekh kitnaa dhoop hai upar!”

Khushi se Ruhi bhaagi ghar ke andar aur apne dada ji ke garden mein kaam karne wale hat lekar aayi Abhi ko dene… magar abhi to bus ke upar tha, kaise deti wo Abhi ko. To Abhi bus ke same wale end par gaya aur Ruhi ko hat ko throw karne ke liye kaha… sab log bus ke andar se, baahar se, side se, sabhi ki nazrein Ruhi par thi dekhte hue ke kia wo Abhi tak hat pahuncha paati hai ya nahin… ab weise movements karne se ek jawaan ladki ki body kaise position mein kaise dikhega, kia dikhega, cleavage, thighs, ya body ka kaun sa part hillega….kuch ladke aur mard shayad wo dekhna chahte the, aur koyi normal dekh rahe the magar khud Abhi Ruhi ki adaa ko, usski Muskaan ko, usski dhoop se bachne ke liye aankhon se saamne ek haath se shade karne ko, wo sab admire kar raha tha jiss waqt Ruhi hat upar ke taraf udaane wali thi….. magar Abhi ko bahot ghussa aya jab pata nahin kidhar se achanak Reza aya aur Ruhi ke haath se hat lekar Abhi ke taraf feinka!!

Abhi laa baboola ho gaya Reza ko weisa karte hue dekh kar! Ruhi ko pata tha ke Abhi ko achcha nahin laga jab reza ne usski haath se hat liya to aur afsos wali nazron se abhi ko dekha upar. Aur wapas chali gayi apni maa ke paas jahan se Ruhi abhi ko kaamm karte hue dekhti rahi bus ke upar. Wo ek finishing wala kaam tha jo Abhi complete kar raha tha taake barsaat mein bus ke andar bilkool paani nahin ghusse.

Shaam ko kaam end kiya aur jab Ruhi se Abhi milne gaya khidki ke paas to Abhi ne ussko ghar ke piche bulaya. Wo piche gayi, to Abhi ne ussko kiss kiya apne bahon mein bharke aur kaha ab har roz jaane se pehle ussko kiss karega aur Ruhi ko har shaam ko piche milna hoga….. aur Ruhi se alag hone se pehle Abhi ko yaad aya ke Ruhi ne kaise kaha tha ke usska haath kitna bada hai, to Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha apne donon haathon ko usske haath mein daalne ko jo ruhi ne kiya, aur Abhi ne Ruhi ke donon haathon ko apne ek haath mein qaid kiya aur kaha ,

“dekha itne bade mein mere haath, tumhare haath ek chhoti si bachi wali haath hein, Shweta ka haath shayad tumhaare haath se bade honge hehehehe!”

Ruhi ne bahot heyraan hote hue khud se kaha,

“Mere haath itne chhote hein ke donon haath aap ke ek haath mein bandh ho gaya uff!! Ab choriye mere haathon ko Abhi!!”

Phir Abhi ne Ruhi ke donon hathon ko apne hothon se lagaya, chuma, pyar kiya aur kaha,

“Yeh meri hone wali patni ke haath hein issko sambhaalna, kabhi kissi tarah ki choat ya takliff mat hone dena innko hmm!”

Ruhi, Khushi aur bahot pyar se Abhi ke chehre mein dekhti rahi uss waqt.

Aur Khushi ke saath Abhi wahan se nikla iss din ko.

Update 31 The Distance….​

Ek haffta aise hi guzra, Saturday ko Ruhi apni tuition ke liye jaati, aur uss waqt sabhi ke nazrein Ruhi par hoti kyunke wo ek apsara lagti thi jab bhi saj sanwar kar nikalti thi. Had se ziada khubsurat dikhti thi, ussko paane ke liye koyi bhi diwana hota uss roop mein Ruhi ko koyi bhi dekhta to.

Sunil ne Abhi ko chedhte hue kaha,

“Abhi dekh, tujhko jalan nahin hoti jab Ruhi eise ban than ke nikalti hai to? Zara dekh to sab ki nazar ussi par tike hue hein, dekh dekh sabko….. ab pata nahin jahan jaa rahi hai wahan uss sheher ke kitne log abhi usske piche padenge….”

Abhi ne buss muskuraate hue Sunil se kaha,

“yaar agar yeh kaam last phase par nahin hota to main ne soch liya tha ke ek Saturday ko main leave leta aur usske saath jata bus mein, aise mujhe pata chal jata ke wo kahan jaati hai sweing course ke liye.

”

Sunil: “Isski kia zaroorat hai, usske pita ke aane ke baad usska haath to mang raha hai nah tu? Tab usske baad koyi nahin rokega tumko Ruhi ke saath kahin bhi jaane ke liye tab chale jana araam se!”

Abhi ne khush hote hue kaha,

“bhai issi liye to dhiraj rakh rakha hua hai aaj tak!”

Sunil ne kaha,

“yeh aise din hote hein jo tumhari life ke sabse haseen din honge Abhi, ek ladki ko shaadi se pehle court karna, usske ghar har hafte ko ana , usske liye chocolates vaghaira laana usske parents se milna, lunch ya dinner apne in-laws ke saath karna, jab tak shaadi ke din nah aajaaye… shaadi ke pehle wale life ke behtareen din hote hein wo mere bhai, khub jee bhar ke enjoy karna unn dinon ko!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Sunil bhai aur in dinon ke baare mein kia khayal hai aap ka? Jab se yahan kaam shuru kiya hoon, jiss din se ussko dekha pehli baar, tabse aaj tak laga hua hon usske piche, ussko apna pyar dikhaya, apne pyar ko kabool karwaya, ussko bhi pyar hua hi hai nah? To mere liye yeh din bahot important hein bhai… maana ke jinn dinon ko aap keh rahe ho wo bhi utna hi zaroori hoga aur beshak unn dinon ka bhi intezaar hai mujhe ke sab official ho jaega tab baat aur hogi, jaise ke license mil jaega, aur abhi bina license ke chala raha hoon apni pyar ki gadi ko, ishk alag hi maza hai bhai… aur main hamesha aisa hi pyar chahta tha, ke khud kissi se pyar ho jaaye mujhe aur ussi ke saath sagaayi, phir shadi karun…… it’s a dream come true sunil bhai… magar abhi is dream ko true hone mein kuch time baaki hai“

Sunil ne tab kaha,

“Samajhta hoon bhai main bhi guzar chuka hoon nah iss phase se Ruhi ke sister ke saath…. Magar main kaamyaab nahin hua apne dream ko true karne mein…. Tum zaroor dream ko true karna bhai!”

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

Ab dekhte hein 10 aakhri dinon ko jo Abhi ne guzara uss aangan mein. Kyunke har roz same chizein hote rahe to bahot repetition jaisa lagega aur boredom feel hone lagega, except last 10 dinon mein bade differences aaye….. phir Abhi ka wahan kaam khatam karne ke baad kitna kuch hua wo sab dekhna baaki hein, aur bahot kuch hua tha, bahot kuch.

To har subha Abhi ka wahan jana, Ruhi se milna, pyar karna, ghar ke piche wale hisse par apne kone mein jana kiss karna sab chalta raha. Uss aangan ke sabhi logon ka pata chalna, majority ko Abhi aur Ruhi ke pyar ko support karna sab bilkool sahi chalta raha.

Mahesh apne nani ke ghar se wapas agaya tha. Usski dosti Abhi ke saath mast tha aur ussko sab pata tha ke Ruhi aur Abhi ek dusre se pyar karte hein. Wo chota bhai tha to ussko koyi problem nahin thi balke Mahesh ne jaise Abhi ko apna brother-in-law maan liya tha unn dinon ko. Jab Ruhi aur Abhi ghar ke piche milte to Mahesh ko pata hota aur koyi uss taraf ata to wo oonche awaaz mein Ruhi aur Abhi ko bata deta tha, matlab Mahesh donon ko support karta tha.

10 din kaam end karne se pehle, malab 15th December ka din tha. Shaam ko ghar jaane se pehle jab Abhi Ruhi se mila to Ruhi ne pyar se abhi se kaha,

“kal main apne nani ke ghar jaungi mummy ke saath”

Abhi ko shock laga aur pucha ke usska kia hoga, to Ruhi ne kaha ke shaam ko wapas ajaegi. To Abhi ne pucha kitne baje ghar se niklegi jaane ko? Ruhi ne kaha subha ko, to Abhi ne kaha usske aane se pehle to hargiz nahin jana jab wo yahan aa jaaye tab ghar se nikalne ko. Ruhi ne kaha ke haan wo Abhi ka wait karegi jab ajaega tab ghar se niklegi apni mummy ke saath. Aur wohi hua…..

Ruhi apni maa ke saath apni nani ke ghar jaa rahi thi subha 8 baje. Abhi ne ussko goodmorning kaha, Ruhi ne nah Abhi ke taraf dekha nah reply kiya, na muskuraayi, sar jhukaaye aaguey badhti gayi. Abhi ko bahot embarrass feel hua. Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi ko dekha aur muskuraayi uss se. Din bhar Abhi sochta raha ke Ruhi ne kyun ajeeb behave kiya tha subha ko jaate waqt. Kehne ki zaroorat nahin ke wo kitni khubsurat dikh rahi thi naye llibaas mein aur kiss tarah se usski khubsurti nikhar kar aa rahi thi, upar se usski jaan lewa adaaein….

Aur din mein Reza ne Abhi se kaha ke Ruhi ki maa ne uss se kaha ke wo kabhi bhi Abhi ka Rishta Ruhi ke liye accept nahin karegi. Yeh baat ne Abhi ko din bhar bahut torture kiya.

Shaam 3 baje Abhi Ruhi ki raah dekhne laga, wo Ruhi ko bahot miss karne laga tha, ussko dekhna chahta tha, usski smile dekhna chahta tha, usski awaaz sunna chahta tha. khud se Abhi ne kaha, “OH MY GOD!!”

Shaam ko 3.30 baje jab Ruhi wapas aayi apne nani ke yahan se to usski rawayya Abhi ke taraf thoda different tha. Wo uss shaam ko Abhi se nahin mili aur Abhi wahan se ghar udaas gaya bina Ruhi se mile, bina kiss kiye jo Abhi ke liye ek pahaad ke ziada bhari wazan ki tarah tha usske seene par.

Raat ko apne diary mein Abhi ne likha ke kia usske nani ke yahan Abhi aur Ruhi ki baat hui aur unhon ne kahin inkaar to nahin kiya iss rishte ko? Aur Abhi ne yaad kiya ke wo Amit jisske baare mein pehle baat kiya gaya tha wo usski nani ke sheher ka hi rehne wala tha. To Abhi sochne laga ke kahin jab Ruhi wahan gayi to wo baat phir se nah chidh gayi ho Ruhi ki mummy aur Ruhi ke saath??!

Abhi ne yeh bhi yaad kiya ke jab Ruhi ne ussko apni virginity wali baat batayi thi tab Abhi ne yeh bhi pucha tha ke Amit wali baat jhoot thi to Ruhi ne kaha tha ke haan sab naatak tha. Magar Ruhi ki maa ne kaha tha ke baat sach thi ke Amit ne shadi ka proposal bheja hai Ruhi ke liye wo jab France se aega to Ruhi ko lekar jaega.
**********************************************************************

Agle din Abhi kaam par pahuncha to Ruhi nahin dikhi har subha ki tarah, khidki ke paas nahin thi. Abhi ne apna geet seeti bajaate hue 6 baje se 7 baje tak whistle kiya, magar Ruhi nahin nikli, usski khidki band thi.

Jiss time ko wo terrace aur lounge mein jhadu deti thi wo bhi nahin kiya Ruhi ne, nazar aayi to 11 baje ke karib aur ulta lounge ke saare parde ko bandh rakha Ruhi ne jo kabhi nahin hota tha, sab open hote the aur andar Ruhi har roz nazar aati thi. Magar iss subha ko sab ulta ho raha tha….

Abhi par kia guzar raha tha yeh bayaan ke baahar tha. Suffocation, ghutan, saans lene mein takliff dil ki dhadkanon ka tez badhna, yeh sab ho raha tha Abhi ke saath aur kaam aur bhi ziada mushkil hote jaa raha tha finishing karne ki…..

Lunch time mein bhi Ruhi nahin mili Abhi se. khidki ke paas Abhi wait karta raha magar khidki band rakha Ruhi ne, aur usski maa bhi nahin dikh rahi thi aur nah Mahesh aya tha baahar. Lagta tha sab Abhi ko escape kar rahe the.

Aur shaam ko jab Abhi ne kitchen ke chaukath par dekha tab Ruhi ki ek jhalak dikhaayi diya Abhi ko. Ussne abhi abhi nahaya hua tha, usski baal khule aur bheege hue the jo nazar araha tha.

Jab Abhi washroom ja raha tha khud ko wash karne aur change karne ko to Ruhi kitchen ke stair par khadi Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue muskura rahi thi…… Aisa lag raha tha aaj pehli baar wala moment phir se recreate ho raha tha, lagta tha donon ajnabee hein aur aaj pehli baar ek dusre ko dekh rahe the.

Abhi ko thodi si Khushi hui ke kum se kum usske taraf Ruhi ne dekha to, muskuraayi to! Aur Abhi ne haath ke ishaare se pucha ke kia hua kyun nahin dikhi din bhar aur Ruhi ne bhi ishaare se kuch kaha jo Abhi nahin samjha…. To Abhi ne thoda karib jaate hue dobara kehne ko kaha Ruhi se, to Ruhi ne apne seene par apne haath ko rakha aur phir uss haath ko Abhi ke taraf kiya aur munh se bina awaaz ke kaha, “I LOVE YOU!” usske honton ke movements se padhna asaan tha ke 'I love You' hi pronounce kiya Ruhi ne!

Abhi ki Aankhen bhar aayi aur kaampte hue honth se pucha,

“kyun tadpa rahi ho? kyun milne nahin aayi aaj?!”

Ruhi ne haath ke ishaare se nah kiya.

Abhi paagal hota jaa raha tha ke kia keh rahi hai kyun nah keh rahi hai phir bi I love you keh rahi hai kia baat hai, kyun weisa behave kar rahi hai!!

Aabhi ka jaane ka time ho gaya tha to Ruhi ko khidki ke paas aane ko kaha magar Ruhi ne phir nah kaha.

To Abhi usske kitchen ke paas hi gaya, Ruhi muskura to rahi thi, magar ek baar baahar dekha phir apne kadam ko do kadam piche kar liya Ruhi ne, aisa lagta tha ke kissi se darr rahi hai, jais kissi ne ussko abhi se baat karne ke liye mana kiya hua hai, wo to baat karna chahti hai magar kissi ka darr tha ussko, to Abhi ne buss itna kaha,

“kamaal karti ho yaar, subha jab jaa rahi thi to mujhko dekha bhi nahin aur goodmorning ko reply bhi nahin kiya tumne kia yaar!”

Ruhi ne hassnte hue kaha,

“uff main kaise aap ke taraf dekhti, sabhi ke nazar mujh par the, sab mujhi ko dekh rahe the mujhe bahot embarrass feel ho rahi thi issi liye nahin dekha tha aap ko, aap bhi to mujhko hi dekh rahe the nah!..... Ab jao please main andar jaa rahi hoon bye!”

Abhi ko wapas jaana pada, dusra din tha bina mile wapas ghar gaya, magar Ruhi ki “I LOVE YOU “kehne wali baat ko soch kar jaise Abhi ko tassalli ho raha tha.

Ghar jaakar diary mein likha ke kia ab Ruhi ke nani walon ne Abhi aur Ruhi ki baat ko official karne ka faisla kar liya iss liye Ruhi ko Abhi se milne ya baat karne se mana kiya hai? Kia ab jab tak sagayi nahin hogi tab tak kia Ruhi Abhi se baat nahin karegi? Kia unn logon ka koyi rasm riwaj tha kia ke ladke ladki ko mangni se pehle nah milne diya jaaye nah baat karne diya jaaye? Kia yehi baat thi kia?! Abhi yeh sab apni diary mein likhte hue pagla raha tha!!

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

Inn last dinon mein ek Saturday tha, 20th December. 19th ko Ruhi ke pita nahin aya, news mili ke wo 23rd ko araha hai flight postpone kiya gaya tha usska. To iss Saturday ko, subha ko jab Abhi wahan reach hua, to Ruhi ko kitchen mein dekha, apne dada ki armchair par apni yellow nightdress mein rest karti hui. 15th se 20th tak ek subha ko bhi Ruhi khidki ke paas nazar nahin aayi, usski khidki bandh rehti thi subha ko ab…. Inn 5 dinon mein Abhi ka dil jaise tukde tukde hue the Ruhi ki distance se… aakhir kyun wo doorie rakh rahi thi Abhi samajh nahin paa raha tha…

Khair iss subha ko jab Abhi ne Ruhi ko kitchen mein dekha to wo Abhi se muskuraayi mudh kar usse dekhte hue. Ajeeb baat yeh laga tha Abhi ko ke usski maa saare kitchen ke kaam kar rahi thi jabke Ruhi armchair par baithi hui thi, to Abhi ne socha shayad Ruhi ki tabiyat thik nahin hogi.

Din ke 10 baje kaam zoron se chal raha tha bus mein aur Abhi ne Ruhi ko lounge mein jhadu lagaate hue dekha, parde ko hattaya Ruhi ne aur bus ke andar Abhi ko dekha. Abhi iss intezaar mein tha ke Ruhi terrace par jhadu lagaane aaye to wo uss se baat karne ki koshish karega…. pichle 5 dinon ko to Ruhi ne ek bhi mauka nahin diya Abhi ko, saamne aayi hi nahin thi pata nahin kyun halaan ke jab aamne saamne hote tab Ruhi muskuraati thi Abhi se.

Aur darwaza khula aur Ruhi terrace par aayi jhadu maarne, to Abhi ne bus ke andar se Ruhi se pucha ishaaron se ke aaj wo apni tuition ko nahin jaegi. Ruhi ne bus ek smile diya Abhi ko, donon ek dusre ko bade pyar se dekh rahe the bina koyi baat kiye.

Usske baad Ruhi nazar aayi apni maa ke paas ek chhoti si chair par baithi jab usski maa kapde dho rahi thi. To ishaare se Abhi ne Ruhi se pucha kia wo bimaar hai? Ruhi nahin samjhi ke Abhi kia keh raha tha to pucha, “WHAT” to Abhi ne haath se wait karne ka ishara kiya aur apne notebook se ek page liya aur uss par likha:

“NOW I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE THAN I EVER LOVED YOU BEFORE. IN MY LIFE I HAVE NEVER LOVED ANYONE AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU” signed – Abhi.

Aur uss note ko lekar Abhi wahan gaya Ruhi ke paas jahan kapde dhoti hai hamesha, aur jaise wahan reach hua to Ruhi kuch fikarmand dikhne lagi aur kaha,

“Aap ko yahan nahin ana chahiye tha, dekho sab log idhar dekh rahe hein” magar yeh sab kehte hue Ruhi hanss rahi thi.

Abhi ussko wo note de raha tha magar Ruhi ne nahin liya aur uss kagaz ko khidki ke paas rakh dene ko kaha. Aur Abhi ko ussko ziada dekhne se mana kiya yeh kehte hue ke sab log dekhte hein donon ko. Abhi ne note ko usski khidki ke paas rakh diya aur wapas chala gaya bus ke andar.

Ab Abhi soch raha tha ke yeh sab kia naatak hai, itne dinon se khule aam donon milte aur baat karte the to ab kyun Ruhi kehne lagi ke log donon ko dekhte hein ussko ziada nahin dekhne ko kaha vaghaira vaghaira….

Abhi bus ke andar se wait karne laga ke kab Ruhi wo note padhegi, aur jab Ruhi ne note ko liya, ek nazar Abhi ko dekha bus ke andar aur read kiya….. read karne ke baad Ruhi ne Abhi ko bade pyar bhade nazron se khade hokar dekha, aur Abhi sirf uss se muskuraya. Phir turant Abhi whistle karne laga “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna” Ruhi ke chehre mein seriously dekhte hue. Ruhi ne note ko dobara padha phir se Abhi ko dekha aur kaha, “mujhko aise mat dekha kijiye please….” Magar Abhi ruka nahin balke fix dekhta raha Ruhi ke chehre mein, to Ruhi hanss padi aur uss note ko lekar ghar ke andar bhaag gayi.

Ruhi ne aur ek baat phir se kaha tha Abhi ko jiss waqt wo note ussko dene gaya tha, kaha tha, “ke haan kitne cigarette pee rahe ho aap sab dekh rahi hoon main” aur Abhi ne ussko jawaab diya ke “buss condition wala din to aane do sab rok dunga wada hai mera.”

Aur Abhi ko thoda ghussa aane laga tha ke kyun ab Ruhi uss se bhaag rahi thi, ab kia ho gaya tha ke logon ki parwah karne lagi thi, itne dinon se to sab khulam khula ho raha tha…. kyun ab Ruhi logon ke saamne Abhi se baat nahin karna chahti thi iss se Abhi ko takliff hone laga tha, ussko baaki mauka hi kahan milega Ruhi se milne aur baat karne ki agar sabke saamne nahin kiya to? Ab jab kuch din reh gaye the kaam ko end karne ke liye to change karna mushkil tha Abhi ke liye, balke ab to Abhi aur bhi ziada Ruhi se baat karna aur milna chahta tha…. Abhi ko bilkool achcha nahin lag raha tha jaise sab kuch hone laga tha ab. Bahut badlaav agaya tha Ruhi ki rawaiye mein…. Abhi ko yeh sab bahot disturb karne laga tha, ussko chain nahin tha, pareshan rehta tha…. usska dimaagh kaam nahin kar raha tha ke ab kaise Ruhi se contact kare.

Shaam ko phone aya S.Arabia se Ruhi ki maa gayi phone lene, tab Ruhi terrace par khadi usski wait kar rahi thi Abhi ko dekhte hue. To Abhi ne uss se pucha ke kia uss note ka koyi reply nahin degi to Ruhi ne sirf nah mein sar hillayi muskuraate hue. Abhi ko ghussa aya. Ruhi Abhi ke kaafi paas aakar khadi hui jahan Abhi kaam kar raha tha. yeh sab chhoti chhoti chizein Abhi ghaur se notice karta tha aur raat ko apne diary mein sab likhta tha. kyun Ruhi sabke saamne ab Abhi se baat karne se inkaar kar rahi thi phir bhi kyun Abhi ke itna karib aakar khadi ho rahi thi yeh Abhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha.

Usski maa phone par baat karke agayi thi aur kaha ke 23rd ko Ruhi ke pita ajaega. Ab Ruhi aur usski maa donon Abhi ke bilkool paas khade the, to iss baar Abhi jaan bujh kar wahan se hatt gaya aur bus ke dusre hisse par chala gaya Ruhi se door. Abhi thoda naraaz tha uss waqt kyunke Ruhi ne jiss tarah se inkaar kiya tha ussko note ki reply dene ke liye, uss se Abhi ko ghussa aya tha. To jab Abhi door chala gaya Ruhi se, uss waqt Ruhi Abhi ko ghurr rahi thi, shayad Ruhi samajh gayi thi ke Abhi uss se naraz hai, to Ruhi Abhi ke ghusse ko shayad dekhna chahti thi… Ab Abhi ko ghussa iss liye bhi araha tha kyunke Saturday tha aur shaam ke 4 baj gaye the phir bhi kaam jaari tha…. aur kaam complicated stage par tha, Abhi nervous usski vajah se bhi ho raha tha upar se Ruhi ki berukhi….

4.30 ko Abhi saare tools ko rakhne gaya washroom mein aur khud ko wash karne gaya to Ruhi ussko ghurre jaa rahi thi, Ruhi ko pata tha ke Abhi ghussa hai. Ruhi ne kabhi bhi Abhi ko uss se ghussa hote nahin dekha tha, yeh pehli baar tha, to Ruhi Abhi ko ghaur se dekh rahi thi, Abhi ko pata tha ke Ruhi ki nazrein ussi par tikke hue the….

Phir jaane ka waqt hua to Abhi ne Ruhi ko apni kitchen mein bartan dhote hue dekha aur ishaare se pucha,

“TV par film arahi hai you are not watching?”

To Ruhi ne unn bartanon ko dikhaaya Abhi ko. Matlab saaf thi ke usskko bartan dhona hai to kaise film dekhegi, sab ishare se baatein ho rahe the, Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha ke jab wo jaane lage to wo yahin khadi rahe stairs par, ke achanak Rahima aayi aur dekha ke Abhi ishaare se kissi se baat kar rahi hai, wo muskuraayi, aur jab udhar se Ruhi ne Rahima ko dekha to aur zor se hanssne lagi….. iss liye ke Abhi aur Ruhi ki chorri chorri baatein karna pakri gayi thi Rahima se….

Jab abhi tayaar hokar nikla to Ruhi ab kitchen mein nahin thi, Abhi samajh gaya ke wo TV dekhne chali gayi, to Abhi ne khud se kaha thodi der mera wait nahin kar sakti thi!

Abhi jaane laga to Ruhi ke khidki ke taraf dekha to usski maa ko dekha khidki ke paas, Abhi ne uss se pucha ke Ruhi kidhar hai to maa ne jawaab diya “TELEVISON” phir Abhi ne usse Ruhi ko bulaane ko kaha. To Ruhi ki maa gayi Ruhi ko bulaane aur Abhi ko khidki ke paas aane ko kaha tab tak…. Magar jab Abhi khidki ke paas reach hua khush hote hue ke aakhir ab Ruhi se kuch baatein kar paega, magar maa akeli lauti andar se aur kaha,

“Nahin Ruhi nahin aegi kyunke usska Mehbob chacha baahar hai wo Ruhi par chillaega, sorry Abhi!”

Abhi ko phir bina Ruhi se mile wapas jaan pada. Bahot ghusa aya Abhi ko. Soch raha tha kia ho raha hai yeh sab ab? Kyun Mehboob bahar hai to nahin baat karegi Abhi se? Itne dinon se to baat karti aayi hai halaan ke Mehboob saamne hota tha, shuru mein mana kiya tha magar phir baat karti thi Mehboob ke hote hue to ab kia ho gaya hai….. yeh sab sochte Abhi apna sheher reach hua aur sheher mein chaaron taraf Christmass aur New year ka mahaul bana hua tha, saare shops mein tarah tarah se rang birange chizein maujood the, bahot saare bhid the charon taraf…. Saal ke ant ka mahaul tha chaaron taraf….

Aur Aise mein jab Abhi baaki ladkon ko ladkiyon ke saath dekh raha tha to sochta ke kyun iss waqt wo Ruhi ka haath thaame sheher mein ek shop se dusre shop mein ghum nahin sakta, kab usski baari aegi?

Update 32 The Last Sunday At Work​

Agla din Sunday tha, 21st December, phir bhi kaam par jana tha kyunke kaam ko aur 3 dinon mein end karna tha. Raat bhar Abhi thik se soya nahin tha, karwatein badalta raha Ruhi ki yaad mein usski badalti hui adaaon ko sochte hue. Kyun wo badalne lagi thi? Kyun Mehboob se darrne lagi thi? Kyun usski maa bhi kuch ajeeb behave karne lagi thi….. Abhi apna chain o sukoon khone laga tha inn dinon ko….

Ruhi ki aangan mein daakhil hone se pehle Abhi soch raha tha ke kaash aaj Ruhi subha ko dikh jaaye; kum se kum aaj bagiche mein phool todti hui dikh jaaye to ussko good morning kahega pichli baar ki tarah…..

Angan mein dakhil hua, sar niche jhukaaye soch mein doobe Abhi chala jaa raha tha ke usski mangi hui duah kubool hote dikhayi diye, Ruhi bagiche mein gulaab tod rahi thi!! Abhi ka dil uss din ki tarah dhadka, ruk gaya, khush bhi tha aur ghum ne bhi ghar kiya hua tha usske dil ke andar, phir bhi kaha, “good morning Ruhi”

Ruhi ne jawab nahin diya magar muskuraate hue Abhi ko dekha. Abhi khada ho gaya uss se baat karne ke liye, tab Ruhi ne kaha,

“Uff aap jao, sab log ghar par hein Manoj bhi yahin hai aaj Sunday hai aap jao nah please! Mujhse baat mat karo, aur mujhko baar baar dekhna mat kaam karte waqt.”

Mayus, Abhi wahan se bina kuch kahe gaya washroom ke taraf change karne. Change kar liya to Mehboob ke kitchen ke paas se guzra to paya ke Ruhi bhi udhar aayi hui hai, wo apni yellow nightdress mein thi, jo bahot lambi dress thi, jissko Ruhi ko ek haath se sambhaalna padta tha chalne ke liye thoda sa upar uthakar…. To wo aur Abhi bilkool ek dusrte ke karib the, phir Abhi ne kaha,

“Tum ne aaj bhi good morning ka jawaab nahin diya? Kia tum log iss ilaake mein good morning nahin wish karte ko ek dusre ko? Lagta hai tumko aadat nahin good morning karne ki nah?!”

Ruhi ne danton mein jaise sorry kehte hue apne honth ko dabaya aur Rahima ki kitchen mein ghuss gayi mudhkar Abhi ko dekhte hue.

Baad mein Abhi bus ke andar kaam karne laga aur Ruhi kitchen ki stairs par khadi Abhi ko dekh rahi thi ek muskaan ke saath. Abhi aisa feel kar raha tha jaise shuru ke dinon mein naye naye mile the donon, pehli baar… jaise Abhi nayi nayi pehchaan hui thi donon ke….

Phir jab baaki ke log kaam par aaye to Ruhi ghayab ho gayi 2 ghante tak nahin dikhi. Ruhi ki maa kapde dhote hue nazar aayi to Abhi ne uss se pucha ke Ruhi kidhar hai to ussne kaha ke Ruhi bimaar hai!

Abhi ko kaam karte hue hathode se lag gaya usski ek ungli mein, khoon nikal raha tha, Ruhi ki maa ne wo dekha, to Abhi gaya Ruhi ki maa se yeh kehne ke Ruhi ko bata dein ke aaj 1 baje wapas chala jaega kyun ke Sunday hai; to Ruhi uss se milne aaye jaane se pehle kyunke Abhi ko kuch bahot zaroori baatein karni hai Ruhi se aaj. Magar Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha ke Ruhi nahin mil paegi uss se aaj kyunke usska bada bhai ghar par hai, bahot saare log hein aangan mein kyunke Sunday hai aur sab log donon ko dekhenge aur Mehboob ko passand nahin hai. Magar Ruhi ki maa andar gayi aur kuch dawa lekar aayi aur Abhi ki ghayal ungli mein lagaya, aur pucha kuch araam mila ke nahin. To abhi ne jawaab diya,

“Aap ne ungli par to araam de diya aunty, kaleje mein lagi hui Ruhi se kehdo nah ke wahan thoda marham lagaa de please.”

Yeh kehte hue Abhi ke aankeh bhar aaye, Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi ko ghaur se tarasti nazron se dekha aur kaha,

“Bahot bade bade baatein karte ho tum Abhi, aise hi baton se meri beti ko apna diwana banaya hai nah? Magar buss itna kahungi ke dhiraj rakho tum jo hona hai so hoga.”

Jab 1 baj gaya to Abhi ne dekha khidki ke paas Ruhi ki maa khadi hai aur Ruhi usske bagal mein Abhi ko dekhte hue hanss rahi hai aur apne jeeb se chedha Abhi ko apni maa ke saamne hamesha ki tarah. To Abhi ne socha isska matlab yeh hua ke jo kuch bhi Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha wo sab ussne andar jaakar Ruhi ko bataya. Maa beti mein jabardasr bonding thi, pyar ki batein jo ek aashik ne kaha apni beti tak pahunchane ke liye wo maa ne jaa kar beti ko bataya wah kia baat hai Abhi ne yeh sochte hue khud se kaha ke ho sakta hai maa se kissi ne aise romance nahin kiya hoga iss liye ussko Abhi ka aashikana andaz bahut passand arahe the iss liye usske message ko apni beti tak pahuncha rahi thi.

Ruhi koyi 15 minat tak wahin khidki par tek lagaaye hue Abhi ko dekhti rahi, jeeb se ussko chedti rahi, 1.15 ho gaya, magar Saeed kaam end nahin kar raha tha, aur Ruhi ab tak apni nightdress mein hi thi to Abhi ne khud se kaha Ruhi ki tabiyat sach mein thik nahin hai varna itne der tak Sunday ke roz wo nightdress mein nahin rehti. Jiss tarah se Ruhi Abhi ko dekhti, chedhti, wo Abhi ko behad passand tha, aur ussko himmat hoti thi aur usska hausla badhta tha aur Abhi khud se kehta ke ‘yeh ladki kitna pyar karti hai mujhse varna yeh sab kyun karti? Tabiyat thik nahin phir bhi 15 mins se ziada khidki ke paas khadi hokar mujhko nahin dekhti’

Jab Abhi washroom se dho dha kar apne safar karne wala saaf suthra dress pehen kar aya to Ruhi wahin khadi paayi gayi khidki se tek lagaye hue. Matlab kyunke Abhi ne ussko wait karne ko kaha tha wo wait kar rahi thi, Abhi ne kaha tha 1 baje, aur 1 baje se 1.30 ho gaye the aur wo wahin wait karti rahi, kyunke Abhi ne message bheja tha usski maa se ke ussko kuch bahot zaroori baat karni hai. Aur maa ne sab bilkool exact bataya hoga Ruhi ko ke Abhi ne tujhe bolne ko kaha hai ke wo aaj 1 baje kaam end karega aur tujhse milne ko kaha hai ussko kuch bahot zaroori batein karna hai tujhse!

“Wah mummy ji sahi message pahunchaya aap ne apni beti ko! Thanks mummy ji. Hone wali sasu maa.” Aisa Abhi keh raha tha apne dil ke andar.

To jab Abhi ne Ruhi ko wahin khidki ke papas paaya jaate waqt to khidki ke taraf badha Ruhi se baat karne ke liye. Ruhi muskurate hue ussko apne taraf aate hue dekh rahi thi. Abhi usske karib reach hua to sabse pehle kaha,

“Nightdress mein ho, raat ho gayi kia?!”

Ruhi aur usski maa donon hanss pade. Phir maa ne kaha,

“bahut lazy hai yeh kia tumko aisi lazy ladki chahiye Abhi?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Chalega, main usske hisse ke kaamon ko kar diya karunga jiss din ussko aise lazy feel hogi to, Waise mujhe pata hai ke Ruhi bilkool lazy nahin hai, kyunke itne dinon se usse itne saare ghar ke kaamon ko karte dekhte aya hoon, kitchen mein pakaati hai, mujhko kitna acha pakwan paka ke khilaayi hai issne, jhadu poncha lagaati hai, kapde dhoti hai…. To lazy kaise hui aunty ji!”

Ruhi muskura rahi thi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue ke kiss tarah se Abhi usski taarif kar raha tha, usske chehre mein ek chamak thi Abhi ko admiration se dekhte hue. Maa ne kaha,

“Sun ri Ruhi teri to badi taarif kar raha hai yeh, tujhko patana ata hai issko, bada honshiyaar hai yeh Abhi!”

Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekhte hue hi apni mummy se kaha,

“main ne kaha tha nah aap se ke bahot honshiyaar hai Abhi!”

Phir Ruhi ne Abhi se pucha,

“Abhi aap ne kaha ke aap mere hisse ke kaamon ko kar doge jab main lazy feel karungi to, to aap mujhe bataaiye ke aap ko gharke kaun sa kaam karna ata hai?!”

Jo jawaab Abhi ne diya Ruhi aur usski maa ko wo sun kar donon maa aur beti dang reh gaye aur Abhi ko iss tarah dekhte rahe ke jaise kabhi nahin dekha tha ussko.

Abhi ne jawaab mein yeh kaha,

“Main bada beta hoon apni maa ka, baaki 3 bhai aur mujhse chhote hein, behnein to last mein paida hue, main ne donon ko pala, khilaya apne haathon se, aur bhaiyon ko bhi. Jab bhi maa bimaar hoti mujhe hi ghar ke saare kaam karne padte the, kapde dhona, har subha ko aata gundna aur roti pakana, chai banana, bhaiyon ko nehlana, khana dena, school ke liye tayaar karna, school bhejna, aur khud tayyar hona aur school jaana, wapas aana, sab ke liye khana pakana, pathar par kapde dhona jaise aap donon dhote ho, bade bade chaadar ko dhona aise hi pathar par, pathar par masala peesna…. Aur saare bartanon ko dhona, saaf karna, ghar mein har roz jhadu lagana, pooncha lagana….. SAB KUCH KARNA AATA HAI MUJHE!”

Yeh sab sunne ke baad Ruhi ke aankhen bilkool bhar aaye the, aur lagta tha ke wo lapak kar Abhi ke gale mein baahein bhad degi….. Ruhi ki maa bilkool khamosh ho gayi thi kuch der tak aur Abhi ke chehre mein dekhi jaa rahi thi… phir donon maa beti ne ek dusre ko dekha, aur Ruhi ki maa ne puccha,

“tumhari maa aksar bimaar rehti hai kia?”

Abhi: “Ab nahin, jinn dinon main padhta tha tab bahot bimaar rehti thi, 3 operation hui usski tab thik hui, stones hue the bladder mein aur ek baar goiter ki operation kiya tha phir ek baar peth mein kuch hua tha…unn dinon main 8 se 18 saal ka tha…. mere 19 hone ke baad maa kabhi bimaar nahin hui, aur tab tak Naina badi ho gayi aur ab wo maa ki madad karti hai kitchen mein aur baaki ke ghar ke kaamon mein. Naina ne bahot saare ghar ke kaam mujhse seekhi hai maa se nahin! Aaj bhi kuch pakaati hai to mujhse puchne aati hai ke yeh aisa karna hai ya waisa? Namak kitna dalna hai etc…..”

Ruhi sab phir se bade dhyan se sun rahi thi aur kaha,

“hmmm to aap ko pakana bhi ata hai, uss din mera pakaya hua jo khaya tha kaisa tha?”

Abhi: “ari aaj puch rahi ho? best tha sweetheart!”

Aur aakhir mein Abhi ne Ruhi ko piche aane ko kaha kyunke ussko kuch zaroori kehna tha Abhi ne kaha ussko. Magar Ruhi ne kaha “nah” aur Abhi ko jeeb se chidhaya aur ghar ke andar bhaag gayi!”

Abhi ne usskimaa ko dekhte hue kaha,

“kamaal hai samajhti nahin ke “ZAROORI” ka matlab kia hai yeh ladki?!”

Ruhi ki maa ne dhire se kaha,

“Nahin aa paegi, Manoj ghar par hai, baahar Mehboob hai ussko sunna padega jab aap chale jaoge to, ab aap jao Abhi…..”

Abhi jaane laga tha ke Ruhi ki maa ne hansste hue kaha,

“Weise, aap kia kuch karte ho ghar ke kaamon ko bata kar ussko aur ziada pata liya lagta hai, hai nah Abhi?”

Aur Abhi ko wapas ghar lautna pada bina Ruhi se apna important baat kahe….. jaate hue baar baar mudhkar dekhta gaya ke kaash Ruhi kitchen ke paas dikhe ya khidki ke paas aaye magar nahin dikhi…..

Ghar jaane se pehle Abhi ne a Christmas wishing card kharida Ruhi ke liye, ek bada sa card liya ussne.

Abhi ne khud se kaha ke wo ab Ruhi ko samajh nahin paa raha hai. Kahan ab Ruhi ko uss se aur ziada karib ana chahiye tha magar Ruhi uss se ziada doorie banaayi hui thi. Iss se pehle Ruhi uss se ghanton se ziada baatein kiya karti thi aur ab 5 mins bhi nahin karti aur kehti ke log dekh rahe hein….

Ghar wapas aakar Abhi ne sab kuch apne diary mein likha, shaam ke 5 baje bed par leytne gaya, ussko jagaane se mana kiya Naina aur apni maa ko - aur raat ko barah baje jaaga… Itni thakaan thi ke ussko hosh hi nahin raha ke kab din hai aur kab raat.

Aur raat ke 2 baje Abhi ne Ruhi ke liye dusra khat likha jissko wishing Christmas card ke sath kal post karega Ruhi ke hi ilaake wale post office mein.

Update 33 – Last Monday At Work​

December 22nd

Ye din Abhi ke liye sabse bhaadi din tha uss aagan mein Abhi ke liye kaam karte hue dinon mein. Iss liye ke iss din ko Ruhi ne Abhi ko bilkool bhi bhaav nahin diya tha, baat nah se barabar hui thi, aur doorie to jaise ajnabiyon ke beech hote hein weisa tha. English mein Abhi ne likha tha, “She did not take any care at all about me, no consideration, like I did not even exist!”

Subha ko ek baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko dekha to buss itna keh paya, “hey Ruhi” magar Ruhi seedha chalti gayi aur Abhi ko oonchi awaaz mein kehna para, “you will receive a letter from the post office today, keep watching” Ruhi abhi se sirf door reh rahi thi.

Kuch der baad Abhi gaya uss ilaake ke post office aur Ruhi ki wishing card ko post kiya as a registered letter.

Post office se Abhi wapas aya to dekha ke Ruhi uss red skirt aur white blouse mein dressed thi jisski 3 din pehle Abhi ne usse pehenne ki farmaayish kiya tha.

Aur ek baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko cycle par apne ek cousin sis ke saath shop jaate hue dekha.

Aur 1.30 ko Abhi ne Ruhi ko postman se letter lete hue dekha. Letter, yaane wishing card lekar ek nazar Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekha aur bhaag kar ghar ke andar gayi aur zor se apni maa ko awaaz diya……

Abhi ne apna kaam jaari rakha…. Ussko pata tha ke andar usska khat padh rahi hogi, shayad apni maa ko sab bata rahi hogi ke Abhi ne kia kaha hai chithi mein….

Ab iss baar chithi mein abhi ne kia likha tha?

Likha tha English mein hi, magar kaha kuch aisa tha Ruhi ko uss letter mein:

“Ruhi sabse pehle main tumse ek sawaal puchta hoon, Ruhi mujhe batao ke hum donon ke bich pichle 3 dinon se kia chal raha hai? Pichle 3 dinon se tum mujhse ek distance rakhne lagi ho kyun Ruhi main janna chahta hoon ke baat kia hai? Tum ko mere aur bahut ziada karib hona chahiye tha inn dinon magar tum ne to aur bhi doorie bana rakha hai kyun Ruhi, kyun?

Iss se pehle tum mujhse openly baat karti thi bina kissi darr ke, aur ab jabke hum donon ne aapas mein baat kar liye hein, tum mere paas bhi nahin arahi ho?! main ab kia samjhun Ruhi? Isska kia matlab hai? Ruhi tum mere paas aane ke liye kiss se darti ho ab? Kisska darr hai tumhein mujhe batao please. Hum kuch ghalat to nahin kar rahe hein nah to darna kyun hai?

Tumhari yeh berukhi mujh par kia kayamat dhaati hai pata hai tumhein? Mujh par kia guzarta hai isska ehsaas hai tumko Ruhi? Meri jaan pe ban aati hai Ruhi….”

Aur bahot kuch likha tha abhi ne uss letter mein jaise likha tha usski pita ane wala hai to ruhi ke taraf se apne pita ko convince karne ko kaha tha, aur apne taraf se Abhi apna pura koshish karega usske pita ko manane ko ke wo donon ke rishte ke liye haan kahe. Abhi ne likha tha

“Tumne kaha tha ke tumhare papa bahot cool aur narm dil insaan hai, to agar tum uss se kahogi ke tum mujhse pyar karti ho to wo kabhi inkaar nahin karega, mere taraf se main bhi uss se kahunga ke main tumko dil o jaan se chahta hoon, udhar tum kahogi ke tum mujhe chahti ho to wo zaroor maan jaega, magar agar tumne kuch nahin kaha aur sirf mere taraf se kaha jaega to ho sakta hai ke wo samjhe ke mera pyar ek tarfa hai, iss liye tumko bhi baat karna hoga Ruhi, don’t forget that my love.”

Yeh bhi likha tha ke shayad 23rd ya 24th ko kaam ka aakhri din hoga aur Abhi ne request kiya tha Ruhi se ke last day ko wo pure din Abhi ke samne rahe, wo ussko din bhar dekhna chahta tha aakri din ko….

To Abhi kaam karte hue khud apne likhe hue shabdon ko yaad kar raha tha aur soch raha tha ke abhi andar Ruhi wohi sab padh rahi hogi aur apni khub surat xmas ki wishing card dekh rahi hogi aur uss par printed khubsurat lavzon ko padh rahi hogi.

Aur haan aakhir mein P.S likha tha Abhi ne khat ne niche bold mein:

P.S: (24th ko main chala jaunga, magar 31st tak tumko ek aur khat post karunga New Year ke mauke par…. uss mein tumko din aur tariq bataunga ke kab apne parents ke saath tumko dekhne aunga, ya ho sakta hai ke ek baar main akele aunga, usske baad tumhare parents se discuss karne ke baad tab apne parents ko lekar aunga tumhare ghar. So, wait for another letter from me by the 31st Decamber.)

Chithi padhne ke baad Ruhi terrace par aayi aur Abhi ko pyar bhade nazron se dekha. Abhi ne socha ke agar wo khat nahin milta aaj to shayad usske saamne aati hi nahin wo.

Ruhi ki maa Abhi ko Ruhi ke piche se dekh kar Abhi ke saath hanss rahi thi, aur Abhi Ruhi ke chehre mein dekh raha tha, aur Ruhi Abhi ko fix dekh rahi thi magar Abhi samajh gaya ke Ruhi uss se kuch kehne ki koshish kar rahi thi magar nahin keh paa rahi thi kyunke bahot sare log the bus mein aur bus ke aage piche chaaron taraf. Manoj, Mahesh, Mehboob, Ruhi ke chachi aur cousins sab the bus ke aas paas. Painting ho gayi thi lag bhag aur bus khubsurat dikhe lagi thi….. phir bhi bus ke andar bahot sare chhote chhote kaam baaki the jo Abhi pura kar raha tha….

Phir bhi Ruhi ne ek baar haath ke ishaare se abhi ko jaise kissi chiz ke liya mana kiya haath ko naah mein hillate hue. Abhi kuch bhi nahin samjha. Magar Ruhi muskura bhi rahi thi saath mein. Abhi Ruhi se baat karne ki koshish kar raha tha magar Ruhi ne Mehboob ke taraf apni ungli point kiya, matlab usske hote hue wo baat nahi karegi. Kuch der tak Ruhi khush dikhi aur Abhi ke aas paas rahi magar kuch der baad phir se wo distance rakhne lagi.

Ruhi apne bhai Mahesh, apni chacha ki beti, aur Farzinah ke saath hassi mazaak kar rahi thi, aur Abhi ko bilkool dekh hi nahin rahi thi jaise Abhi wahan tha hi nahin….. Abhi tadap raha tha, usska dil dukhne laga tha, ussko ghutan feel hone laga tha…. Abhi ko zor se chilla kar rone ka mann kar raha tha….. ussko headache ar heartache ek saath ho raha tha Ruhi ki behaviour se…. Abhi chahta tha ke Ruhi uss se uss tarah se pesh aaye jeise 7 din pehle thi, jaise uss din ko thi jiss raat ko Abhi ne usske ghar guzara tha, Abhi uss din ki tarah Ruhi ke saath rehna chahta tha jinn dinon ko har baar Ruhi ke sath ghar ke piche jaa kar ussko baahon mein bharke kiss kiya karta tha…. Abhi ko Ruhi ko zoron se baahon mein bharne ka mann kar raha tha , wo jaise till till mar raha tha, ghutan feel ho raha tha aur ussko saans lene mein takliff hone laga tha….

Phir bhi ussko kaam karna tha, itne chhote chote boring kaam the buss ke andar aur Abhi ka dimaaghi haalat kuch aisa tha ke kaam nahin ho paa raha tha uss se….

Kaam late end kiya uss din. Jab abhi tools rakhne jaa raha tha washroom mein to Ruhi apne bhai Mahesh aur cousin sis ke saath peyr ke niche baithi hanssi mazaak kar rahi thi… Abhi ka dil dukh raha tha aur wo hanss rahi thi….

Abhi ko ghussa bhi aa raha tha kyunke usske dimaagh ne kaam karna band kar diya tha uss waqt….

Aur jab Abhi unn teenon ke paas se guzra to Ruhi ne kuch aise baatein kiye Abhi ko sunaane ke liye ke Abhi dang reh gaya… Ruhi ne apni cousin sis se hansste hue aur chidhaate hue kaha,

"To tum kia samajh rahi ho ke main tumse shaadi karungi? Kyun tum sach mein samajh rahi ho ke main tumse shaadi karungi? Hahahahaha!!”

Yeh kia tha? Abhi ke liye tha? ya weh log sirf mazaak kar rahe the? Magar Abhi ne to apne pe liya…. Ruhi ne uss baat ko repeat kiya nazrein churaate hue Abhi ko dekh kar jissko Abhi ne dekha… matlab Abhi ne Ruhi ko hansste hue aur uss se nazrein churaate hue dekha jab wo baat ko repeat kar rahi thi ke , KIA TUM SAMAJHTE HO KE MAIN TUMSE SHAADI KARUNGI?

Wo sab dekhne aur sunne ke baad Abhi ko laga ke usske dil ke kayi tukde hue turant ussi waqt… ussko laga ke usski saansein rukne lage hein, laga ke wo hosh khone wala hai, usske aankhon ke saamne andhera sa chha gaya, aur wo jahan tha wahin baith gaya, deewaar se tek lagaate hue…. Tony guzar raha tha, to Abhi ke paas baith kar pucha ke kia hua….

Tab Ruhi aur team khamosh ho gaye the Abhi ko uss haalat mein dekh kar….. kuch der baad Sunil ne abhi se pucha ke kia hua… abhi ne kaha,

“yaar mujhe ab lagta hai ke Ruhi chahti hi nahin ke main usska haath mangun shaadi ke liye… lagta hai usska pyar ek jhoot tha mere liye….”

Sunil ne kaha,

“main uss se baat karun? Thik hai main baat karta hoon ruhi se!”

Magar Abhi ne roka sunil ko aur kaha agar zaroorat padegi tab ussko batayega….. Abhi apna self respect nahin khona chahta tha magar yeh bhi kehta khud se ke jung aur muhabat mein sab kuch jayiz hai to self respect khona kaun si badi baat hai….

Abhi socne laga ke itne saare baat likha tha ussne uss khat mein jissko Ruhi ne kuch der pehle padha, apni dil ki baat likha tha, Ruhi se kaha tha ke uss par kia beet raha hai usski berukhi aur doorie rakhne se, aur Ruhi uss tarah se behave kar rahi thi, ulta Ruhi ko uss khat ko padhne ke baad Abhi ko emotional support dena chahiye tha, magar Ruhi to sab ulta kar rahi thi…. Kiss se apna dil ka dukhda rota abhi ab? Kaun sunta usske dil ka haal, kiss se Abhi apne dil ke andar bhade ghutan ko share karta, kiss ke kandhe par sar rakh kar rota…. Kaun tha samajhne wala ke Abhi par kia beet raha tha… jo samajhne wali thi, wohi sitam par sitam dhaaye jaa rahi thi Abhi par….

Abhi ko akele sab kuch khamoshi se sehna tha. khamosh raha, apne andar sab chhupaaye rakha Abhi ne….

Jab Abhi jaane ke liye tayyar ho gaya to Ruhi wahin baithi rahi, ek nazar utha kar abhi ko dekha tak nahin, Abhi ne bhi bina kuch kahe chup chap nikal aya wahan se…..

Ghar pahunchne ke baad Abhi apne diary mein sab kuch likhte hue khub roya, apne diary ko apne dil ke dukhde ko sunaya Abhi ne….

Soch raha tha kal shayad aakhri din hoga Ruhi ke aangan mein aur ussko pata tha ke kal Ruhi ke pita aane wala tha, to ussko dikh gaya ke kal ka din aur bura hoga kyunke Ruhi apne pita ke wapas aane ki khushi mein ussko aur bhi ziada ignore karegi…. Phir bhi Abhi ne soch liya tha ke apne taraf se jo ussko karna hai wo kar ke rahega, Ruhi ke pita se baat zaroor karega yeh tey tha abhi ke taraf se….

Update 34 Monday Continued….​
Soch raha tha kal shayad aakhri din hoga Ruhi ke aangan mein aur ussko pata tha ke kal Ruhi ke pita aane wala tha, to ussko dikh gaya ke kal ka din aur bura hoga kyunke ruhi apne pita ke wapas aane ki khushi mein ussko aur bhi ziada ignore karegi…. Phir bhi abhi ne soch liya tha ke apne taraf se jo ussko karna hai wo kar ke rahega, ruhi ke pita se baat zaroor karga yeh tey tha abhi ke taraf se….

Ab aaguey
Subha ko Ruhi kitchen ke paas nazar aayi. Abhi usski maa se baat karne gaya. Magar bina kuch kahe hi usski maa ne Abhi se kaha,

“nahin nahin kuch nahin ho sakta hai!”

Abhi heyrani se ussko dekhte hue kaha,

“kyun? Kia nahin ho sakta? Kia keh rahi ho aap?”

Ruhi wahin khadi sun rahi thi bina Abhi ke taraf dekhe…

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“mujhe pata hai tum Ruhi ke liye aaye ho nah? wo nahin maan rahi hai hum kia kar sakte hein ab?!”

Abhi ka munh sukh gaya, ussko jaise paani pine ki zaroorat mehsoos hui, aur kaha,

“What? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Main nahin manta….”

Phir Abhi Ruhi ke taraf dekhte hue usski maa se kaha,

“Magar wo khud kyun nahin keh rahi hai mujhe? Kyun khamosh hai agar aisi baat hai to?!”

Tab Ruhi ki mummy ne hansste hue jaise Abhi ko encourage karte hue kaha,

“Magar kuch bhi ho humko tumhare parents se to milna hoga nah Abhi?!”

Jab usski maa ne yeh kaha to Ruhi ne muskuraate hue Abhi ko dekha….

Magar Abhi bahot serious tha aur Ruhi ko gambhirta ke saath dekha. Aur usski mummy ko jawaab diya,

“haan beshak donon taraf ke parents ko milna hoga.”

Tab Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,

“Haan to isske pita ko aajane do aaj arahe hein wo tab dekha jaega”

Ab inn baton se Abhi ka hausla to badhega hi nah?

Phir Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha ke jo kaam wo karta hai wo kuch dhang ka nahin hai.

Abhi ne Sunil ko socha aur usske saath jo hua tha usske baare mein socha Abhi ne.

Abhi ne pucha,

“kyun yeh kaam dhang ka nahin hai?”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Meri maa jahan rehti hai wahan kayi aise log hein jo bekaar rehte hein kyunke weh log car repair karte hein aur unnko kabhi kaam milta hi nahin…. Kia hoga agar tumhare paas regular basis par kaam nahin hoga? Tumko pata hai Ruhi mujhe meri jaan se bhi pyari hai main usske liye bahot fikar karti hoon, main apni badi beti se itni attached nahin thi, magar meri Ruhi….

”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“Car ke body repair karna aur mera kaam do bilkool alag baat hai, car ki tin repair karne wale ko panel beater kehte hein bus ki body ko banane wale ko Coach builder kehte hein do bilkool hi alag kaam hote hein, hum wo gas wala welding bilkool istemaal nahin karte, hum aluminium se kaam karte hein uss tin se nahin jo car repair karne wale istemaal karte hein….”

Tab Abhi ne socha ke unn logon ko pata hi nahin ke bus ki coach building kia hota hai…. Weh log car ki tin repair karne wala samajh rahe the Abhi ko! Magar Abhi ko wo karna bilkool bhi nahin ata tha wo ekdum se alag kaam tha…. Aur Abhi samajhne laga ke usski Naukri ki vajah se Ruhi ke nani ke yahan baat chali hogi issi liye nani walon ne, mamou, mami, maasi, sabne Ruhi ki maa aur Ruhi ko mana kiya hoga iss rishte ko aaguey badhaane ke liye, Ruhi ko unn logon ne discourage kiya hoga, issi liye uss din se Ruhi weise behave karne lagi thi aur doorie rakhne lagi thi Abhi se….. aisa Abhi soch raha tha….

Abhi soch raha tha ab Ruhi ke pita ke aane ke baad, Ruhi ko usske maa baap ke saamne bitha kar apne kaam ke baare mein sab samjhega, tab apna proposal rakhega. Weh log shayad soch rahe the ke jo kaam Abhi kar raha hai uss se Abhi unke beti ko khush nahin rakh paega, unnke beti ko saari suvidhaayein nahin de paega Abhi. Yehi soch the shayad Ruhi ki maa ki. Aur Abhi Sunil ki kahi hui baat ko sochne laga ke usske saath bhi yehi kiya tha inn logon ne!

Abhi ne phir Ruhi ki maa se kaha,

“Aap zara sochiye main kaise Ruhi ko takliff de sakta hoon? Aap ke khayal se jiss se main itna pyar karta hoon ussko kissi kissam ki taklif hone dunga? Agar khuda nah khaasta mere paas yeh kaam nahin raha to aap kia samajhti ho Ruhi ke liye main kuch aur nahin karunga? Aisa to ho hi nahin sakta… aap fikar nah karein nah!”

To Ruhi ki maa hanssne lagi aur kaha,

“Thik hai phir usske pita ko aajane do. Dhiraj rakho, aaj wo aane wala hai shaam ko.”

Abhi ko lag raha tha ke sab thik ho jaega, kal jo khat likhe tha Ruhi ko Abhi ne uss mein Ruhi ko sab kuch samjha diya tha ke ussko apne pita se keh dena chahiye ke wo bhi Abhi se pyar karti hai, tab Abhi ko asaani hogi apne taraf se baat karne ko….

Ab Abhi Ruhi se baat karna chahta tha iss baare mein iss se pehle ke usska baap wapas aaye. Abhi sab kuch araam se Ruhi ko samjhana chahta tha taake Ruhi bhi samjhe. To Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha ke wo Ruhi se ussko kuch der baat karne dein, Ruhi ko bulaane ko kaha. Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi ko bulaya. Khidki ke paas, usski maa thi aur andar se Ruhi aayi…..

Aur aaj itne dinon mein pehli baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko usse ek ajeeb nazron se dekhte hue dekha, jaise ussko koyi interest nahin thi Abhi se baat karne ke liye, Ruhi ne frown karte hue Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue kaha,

“kia hai? Ab kia kehna hai aap ko aur?!”

Ruhi ki uss tarah se baat karne se Abhi ko mann kiya ke turant wahan se wapas nikal jaaye, ussko laga ke bekaar mein baat karega….. Abhi ko wapas apne ghar turant chale jaane ka mann kiya…. Ussko jaise Ruhi ki nazron mein usske liye NAFRAT dikha…. Magar aisa bhi kia ho gaya ke nafrat dikh gayi Abhi ko Ruhi ki nazron mein…. Abhi samajh nahin paa raha tha ke ab Ruhi se kaise baat kare aur kia kahe ussko jiss tarah se wo Abhi ko dekh rahi thi jaise Abhi ussko disturb kar raha tha ussko bula kar.

Jiss chehre par itne dinon se Abhi ne sirf pyar dekha tha, jiss Ruhi ke chehre par hamesha ek pyari si Muskaan hua karti thi, jiss mein Abhi ne sirf aur sirf pyar dekha tha apne liye aaj uss chehre mein ek karwahat dekha Abhi ne. Abhi Ruhi ko itna chahta tha ke usski ek ek rag se wakif tha, usski har ek adaa, usski har ek chehre ki badlaav ko pehchaanta tha magar jo aaj Abhi ne dekha tha Ruhi ke chehre par wo Abhi ne kabhi nahin dekha tha itne dinon mein, aur Abhi ko wo bilkool bhi passand nahin tha. Uss Ruhi ki roop ko describe karna mushkil hai aur usska Abhi par jo assar hua wo bhi bayan karna mushkil hai…. Phir bhi Abhi baat karna chahta tha to himmat karke kiya baat ussne. Kyunke donon English mein baat karte the hamesha to Abhi ne English mein sabse pehle kaha,

“Why are you giving such a look? Why you are so serious, not a single smile on the face? Did I disturb you by calling you here?”

Ruhi ke munh mein jo ata tha wohi bak deti thi, ussne Abhi ko jawaab mein buss itna kaha,

“I must be serious in life that’s why!”

Yeh bhi koyi jawaab tha? Abhi udaas tha, pareshaan tha wo usske chehre par saaf dikhaayi de raha tha, aur Ruhi ko bhi pata tha; Abhi ne apne sayyam rakhte hue kaha,

“Look Ruhi, I am suffering… yes I am suffering and it’s because of you my dear…”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Do you think I AM NOT SUFFERING?!”

To Abhi ne kaha,

“Then talk to you father, We can be successful Ruhi, from my part I will do all to convince him, but if you do not play your role I won’t be able to do it alone isn’t it?!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“I can’t. My life IS NOT MINE”

Abhi ko ghussa aane laga tha usski behuda jawaab se. Kia bakwaas jawaab de rahi thi!

Agar wo bhi suffer kar rahi thi to kia solution tha suffering ko end karne ki, wo tha donon ka milan….

Tab tak Mehboob tea serve kar raha tha, aur Mehboob ne Abhi ke taraf aakar tray ko ussko dikhaate hue kaha,

“Hey Abhi!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“jao apna chai lelo Abhi.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“wait.”

To Ruhi ne fikarmand dikhte hue kaha,

“Oh my god wo hum logon ko hi dekh raha hai aap jao nah!”

Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“magar ussko sab pata hai nah yaar!”

Tab Ruhi ne kaha

“nahin ussi ne hmm hmm hmm hmmm” yeh kehte hue Ruhi muskuraayi

To Abhi ne pucha,

“kia hmm hmm hmm? HE WILL NOT ACCEPT?”

Ruhi: “NO.”

Abhi: “okay meet me at lunch time.”

Tab Ruhi aur usski mummy donon ne kaha

“nahin nahin bilkool nahin”

Abhi ne zid kiya, zor diya ke lunch time mein Ruhi uss se mile.

Magar Ruhi ne kaha,

“BE PATIENT”

Aur usski maa ne repeat kiya,

“BE PATIENT”

Abhi ne kaha,

“That’s what I am doing!”

Phir Abhi ne aur kaha,

“Dekho Ruhi ho sakta hai aaj yahan mera aakhri din hai kaam karne ka…. Aur agar kaam pura nahin hua shaam tak to kal aakhri din hoga, mujhe tumse bahot zaroori baat karni hai”

Ruhi ne bus ek halki si mukurahat se Abhi ko dekha aur ab chehre mein thoda sa badlaav aur narmi dikhayai diya Abhi ko, aur Abhi wahan se wapas bus mein chala gaya.

Koyi ek ghante baad Ruhi ki maa phir baat kar rahi thi Abhi ke saath. Ussne Abhi se kaha,

“Aur yahan par kissi ne yeh bhi kaha ke tum sirf yahan har roz kaam karne aate ho varna har jagah kaam se bahot absent rehte ho, har roz kaam nahin karte ho, samajh rahe ho nah wo lazy type log jaise….”

Abhi ko zabardast jhatka laga wo baat sunke aur pucha ke kiss ne ussko wo baat bataya, kia Mehboob ne wo sab kaha uss se? To Ruhi ki maa ne kaha ke nahin Mehboob ne nahin. To Abhi ke kaha to phir Reza ne kaha hoga kyunke wo shuru se hi mujhse jalta hai, ussko nahin passand ke main Ruhi se pyar kar raha hoon wo pata nahin kyun hamesha mere piche pada hota hai… mere aur Ruhi ke beech ek deewar ki tarah bana rehta hai…”

Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha ke jo kuch bhi ussko bataya gaya sab sarasar JHOOT hai.

Jabse Abhi ne 12th chorra tab se aaj tak lagatar kaam karte aaya hai, kahbi yahan kabhi wahan kabhi yeh kaam kabhi wo kaam, kisaan ka beta mazdoori bhi kiya, ganne ke khet mein bhi kaam kiya, yeh kabhi nahin kaha ke padha likha hai to koyi office mein ya koyi bhi white collar job karega magar jo mila jaise mila kaam karta gaya aur yahan kissi lalloo ne keh diya ke Abhi kaam nahin karta dhang se! kamaal hai Abhi sar hillate hue khud hanssne laga….

Kuch der bad Abhi ne Ruhi ko kitchen wale stair par khadi dekha, to usske toda paas jaakar, 1 metre ki distance se kaha,

“Tumhara photo kab dogi mujhko? Mujhe chahiye at least 1 photo of yours please, ziada mile to behtar hoga.”

Badle mein Ruhi ne jawaab to nahin diya magar apne donon haahon ko ek camera ki tarah kar ke Abhi ke taraf kiya aur jaise ek click kiya Abhi ki photo ko aur hanssne lagi. (aaj ke din hote to mobile se kitne saare photos Abhi ne le liya hota Ruhi ki?!”)

Aur tabhi kissi ne Ruhi ko bulaya baahar Main road ke taraf, shayad Ruhi ke papa ka phone aya tha udhar. Aaj usska papa wapas aane wala tha… to jab Ruhi gayi call lene to Abhi ke paas se guzar kar gayi, aur jab wapas aane lagi to Abhi ne ussko rukne ko kaha magar Ruhi ne uss hisse ko daud kar tey kiya jahan Abhi tha wahan se usski kitchen tak taake Abhi ussko nahin roke, aur jab Ruhi daudte hue apni kitchen ke stairs par reach hui to palat kar Abhi ko dekha apne munh mein apne jeeb se apne gaal ko fullaate hue ek muskurahat ke saath….

Aur phir kuch der baad Ruhi apni cousin ke ghar gayi aur wapas aate waqt Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“Ruhi, ruko nah sunon to please…”

Ruhi ne kuch darrte hue expression mein Abhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Mujhse aise baat mat kijiye aap”

Aur wo bhaag kar chali gayi apni kitchen mein.

Aur ek baar Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“Aap ab mujhe bhool jao!”

Aur Abhi ne replay kiya,

“THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE”

Aur tab Ruhi hanssi thi.

Ek baar phir phone call aya aur Ruhi phir gayi, aur jab wapas aa rahi thi to Abhi ne phir ussko rukne ke liye kaha, aur iss baar Ruhi ne jhoot mooth ke jhuk kar ek paper ka tukda uthaane ka bahana karte hue ruki aur Abhi se kaha,

“kia hai?”

Abhi usske karib hua aur kaha,

“Uss din jab tumne ne kaha tha ke tum virgin nahin ho, to main ne kaha tha ke tum mujhko itna pyar karogi ke wo tumhara pyar saare beech ke issues khatam kar dega, virginity ya kuch bhi ho beech mein sab mit jaega tum mujhko itna pyar karogi, aur tumne haan kaha tha Ruhi yaad bhi hai ke nahin?”

Abhi ne yeh sab kaha Ruhi ko apne kahi hui baat ko yaad dilaane ke liye, ussko yaad dilaane ke liye ke ussne kaha tha ke wo Abhi ko bahot pyar karegi…. Abhi ne Ruhi ko usska pyar yaad karaya, to Abhi yeh umeed kar raha tha ke Ruhi sharminda hogi ya apni kahi hui baat ko yaad karegi magar jo jawaab diya Ruhi ne usski zaroorat hi nahin thi, wo baat hi nahin ho rahi thi…. Ruhi ne kaha,

“Well I am not a virgin that does not mean anything to you?”

Abhi ne gambhirta se Ruhi ke aankhon mein dekhte hue reply kiya,

“No that makes no difference to me because I LOVE YOU DAMN IT, do you understand? I am suffering damn it!! Do you have a heart to feel what I am going through, mere andar dard ho raha hai Ruhi, main tadap raha hoon tumko nahin dikh raha kia?”

Abhi ke baton ka jaise Ruhi par koyi assar nahin ho raha tha, wo apne pita ke wapas aane ki Khushi mein gum thi shayad uss waqt. Abhi ne sahi mauka nahin use kiya tha ussko apne dil ki baat kehne ke liye, aur Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“I am no a V, this should have affected you!”

Aur Ruhi ne yeh kaha tab,

“Mujhe ek promise kijiye abhi issi waqt, ke agar hamari shaadi nahin bhi hui to aap kabhi bhi kissi se bhi meri V wali baat nahin bataoge.”

Abhi ne PROMISE kiya turant. Abhi ko uss pal jaise comfirm hua ke Ruhi usski kabhi nahin banegi issi liye Ruhi ne Abhi se wo promise liya. To Abhi ne kaha,

“Agar humko nahin milna hai, agar juda hi ho jana hai to please ek photo dedo mujhe main umar bhar teri tasveer se hi sahi pyar karta rahunga, ek tasver dede please Ruhi”

Ruhi ne nah kaha aur dekha ke Mehboob araha tha to Ruhi bhaagne ki raah dekh rahi thi to last mein Abhi ne pucha,

“Wo V kiss ne kiya tere saath?”

Ruhi ne jaate jaate jawaab mein yeh kaha Abhi ko,

“Nahin, main to kabhi nahin bataungi, magar aap ho sake to khud pata laga lena!”

Aur Ruhi chali gayi.

Update 35 Ruhi’s Father Comes Back​

“Wo V kiss ne kiya tere saath?”

Ruhi ne jaate jaate jawaab mein yeh kaha Abhi ko,

“nahin, main to kabhi nahin bataungi, magar aap ho sake to khud pata laga lena!”

Aur Ruhi chali gayi.

Abhi sochne laga ke kyun Ruhi ne ussko khud pata lagaane ko kaha ke kissne usski virginity li hai? Abhi kaise pata laga paega?

Aur Abhi ne yeh bhi socha ke Ruhi kyun Mehboob se itna darrti hai? Kyun? Mehboob ne kuch kiya hoga? Kuch kaha hoga Abhi ke khilaaf? Kia Mehboob ne Ruhi ko Abhi se milne aur baat karne ke liye mana kiya hai? To iss liye, Abhi ne Mehboob se baat karne ko decide kiya. Aur wo gaya uss se Ruhi ke baare mein baat karne ek mard ke bache ki tarah.

Abhi ne socha jab Mehboob se 75 hazaar ke badle 3 laakh nikalwa sakta hai to kaun si badi baat hai uss se Ruhi ke baare mein baat karne ko. Yeh mardaangi wala baat hamesha tha Abhi mein, wo darrta to bilkool nahin tha kissi se bhi jahan mardon wali baa ata tha to, to be jhijhak wo gaya aur Mehboob se kaha,

“Mehboob bhai, aap Ruhi ke chacha lagte ho nah? haan pata hai usske pita aap ke liye bhai se badhkar hai aur usski ghair haziri mein Ruhi aap ki beti jaisi hai aur aap ka haq banta hai usski dekh bhaal karna. To uss haysiyat se usske pita nahin hai to aap usske pita jaise hue hai nah?!”

Mehboob ko to sab pata tha ke Abhi uss se kia kehne wala hai, aur usne buss haan mein sar hillaate hue Abhi se kaha,

“haan Abhi sahi keh rahe ho wo meri beti se badhkar hai, aur mujhe yeh bhi pata hai ke tum mujhse kia kehne aaye ho”

Aur yeh kehkar Mehboob hanssne laga aur Abhi ke kandhe par haath rakh kar araam se kaha,

“Bolo Abhi kia kehna hai, darro mat bolo!”

Abhi: “Darta to main bilkool bhi nahin Mehboob bhai, aap se phir yeh kehna hai ke main jald hi aap ka rishtedaar banne wala hoon, aap ko pata chal gaya hoga ke main Ruhi ki baat kar raha hoon!”

Mehboob ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“kyun nahin Abhi insha Allah, kyun nahin, mujhe pata tha tum yehi kehne aaye ho, magar aaj Ruhi ke pita araha hai nah to ussi se yeh baat kehna bahut behtar hoga hai nah?!”

Abhi: “haan Mehboob bhai uss se bhi baat karunga zaroor, magar wo to itne dinon se yahan tha nahin to ussko kuch nahin pata par aap ko to sab pata hai nah? Itne dinon se sab aap ke aankhon ke saamne to ho raha hai nah, to iss liye mujhe aap ki madad ki zaroorat padegi Mehboob bhai!”

Mehboob: “Haan thik hai magar kaisa madad Abhi?”

Abhi: “are bhai Ruhi ke pita ko nahin pata ke pichle der mahinon se main aur Ruhi ek dusre se pyar karte hein, aap ko to pata hai. To aap ko Ruhi ke pita se kehna hoga ke haan donon ek dusre ko chahte hein Rishta kar deni chahiye donon ke; itna to kar sakte ho nah bhai?!”

Mehboob muskuraate hue Abhi ko sun raha tha aur kaha,

“Bahut dum hai tujh mein Abhi, khud apne shaadi ki baat kar rahe ho? Wah. Magar mere nazar se iss baat ko dekho aur samjho Abhi, Ruhi ke pita ne mujh par ek zimedaari chorr ke gaya tha ke main usske bachon ka khayal rakhun hai nah? To jab main uss se kahunga ke der mahine tak tum mere liye kaam karte hue usski beti ke saath ishk kar raha tha to wo kia sochega mere baare mein? Kahega nah ke main ne yeh kiss tarah ka khayal rakah usski beti ka?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“are bhai ghalat track par kyun leja rahe ho baat ko? Sahi tarike se sirf hum donon ko support to kar sakte ho bhai yeh kehte hue ke in der mahinon mein yahan kaam karte hue mujhe pyar ho gaya Ruhi se aur ussko mujhse, to main ne Ruhi ka haath manga shaadi ke liye, itna to kar sakte ho nah aap Mehboob bhai?!”

Meboob: “Abhi yehi baat tumne mujhko pehle kyun nahin bataya? Kyun der mahine tak chhupaya tumne mujhse? Pehle keh diya hota, 1 mahine pehle, keh dete mujhe to mujhe pata hota pehle se, shaayad main phone karke ussko bata chuka hota.. kyun tumne aaj hi ka din chuna mujhe yeh baat bataane ke liye Abhi?”

Abhi: “Bhai mujhe pata tha ke aap ko iss baat ka already pata hai issi liye kuch nahin bataya, balke main to soch raha tha ke kissi din aap mujhse iss baare mein sawaal karoge…. Ab aaj ya kal aakhri din hai yahan kaam karne ka iss liye ab bata raha hoon aap ko, iss mein kia hai bhai itna to batao nah ke mera support kar sakoge nah Mehboob bhai?”

Mehboob: “okay thik hai support to karna parega, aur koyi raasta chorra hi nahin tumne… aur haan tumhare gharwalon ka bhi pata lagana hai nah humko ab?”

Abhi:”haan bhai, pehle Ruhi ke pita se baat karlun tab apne parents ke saath aunga Ruhi ka haath maangne, tab mangni vaghaira ko milkar decide karenge thik rahega nah bhai?!”

Mehboob ne muskuraate hue aur Saeed ke taraf dekhte hue haan kaha Abhi ko.

Tony aur Sunil ne sab suna aur jaldi se Abhi ko aakar haath milaate hue congrats kiye.

Abhi ko ek umeed ki kiran nazar aayi aur thoda khush feel kiya ke at least ab wo kaamyaab hone jaa raha hai.

Aur wo gaya Ruhi ko bataane ke ussne Mehbob se baat kar liye aur ussne okay keh diya hai.

Jab Abhi ne sab Ruhi ko bataya to Ruhi ne kaha,

“Wo sirf aap se aise baat karta hai aap ke peeth piche kuch aur hi kehta hai aap ke baare mein, hypocrite hai wo usska yakeen mat kijiye aap. Wo to khud KHILAAF HAI hum donon se HE IS AGAINST ABHI”

Abhi ko aur ek jhatka laga ab!! Usska uljhan aur badh gaya.

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

Abhi ko kuch lohe ko kaatna tha aur lohe Ruhi ke kitchen ke paas the. To Abhi gaya kaatne lohon ko. Ruhi aur usski maa ussko dekh rahe the. Abhi Ruhi se baat karte hue kaam kar raha tha. Ruhi kabhi uss se baat karti, kabhi muskuraati to kabhi chhup jaati.

Radio par “Aap ki Passand” program chal raha tha jiss mein famayish kiye gaanon ko bajwaate the channel wale.

Ruhi ke kitchen mein radio baj raha tha jissko Ruhi sun rahi thi aur baahar Abhi bhi sunte hue kaam kar raha tha aur yeh gana chal raha tha, “Ey gulbadan phoolon ki mehek kaanton ki chubhan tujhe dekh ke kehta hai mera mann KAHIN AAJ KISSI SE MUHABAT NAH HO JAAYE” Ruhi uss gaane ko saat saath gaa rahi thi…. Aur ussne Abhi ko dekha, sharmaayi, muskuraayi aur chehra chhupa liya darwaze ke piche, to Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“haan tum khud sab kuch kahogi ab!” Abhi ka matlab gaane se tha ke Ruhi keh rahi thi “kahin aaj kissi se muhabat nah ho jaaye”

To Ruhi ne hansste hue Abhi se kaha,

“Main aap ke liye nahin gaa rahi thi!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“main ne iss gaane ko uss din gaya tha jiss din tumko pehli baar dekha tha yahan – “kahin aaj kissi se mubahat nah ho jaaye”

Tab Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“I did not tell you to fall in love with me!”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“no one falls in love intentionally, IT JUST happens…. Pyar KIYA NAHIN JATA HO JATA HAI RUHI DEAR!”

Tab Ruhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“mujhe pata hai main aap se jeet nahin sakti aap bahot tez ho maanti hoon!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“aur kaun badnaseeb ladki hogi jo mujh jaise tez ladke ki patni nahin banna chahegi?!”

Ruhi: “Wo badnaseeb mere siwa kaun ho sakta hai?!”

Abhi: “jab main khud tumko khushnaseeb banana chahta hoon to tum kaise badnaseeb ho sakti ho Ruhi?”

Ruhi: “main ne kaha tha ek baar aap se ke mujhko yeh sab raas nahin ati, manhoos hoon main dekh lena hum kaamyaab nahin honge!”

Abhi: “Ruhi main bahot positive insaan hoon, I always expect the best to happen, I am very optimist always, buss tum saath dete rehna phir dekhna ke kaise kaamyaab nahin honge, buss tumhara saath chahiye, akela to fail hi ho jaunga, tum saath dogi to koyi humko alag nahin kar sakta Ruhi”

Ruhi ne tab apna sar niche jhuka liya. Aur kuch der wahin khadi rahi apni mummy ke saath Abhi ko dekhte hue.Tab Ruhi gayi apni chulhe par kuch paka rahi thi usse dekhne, aur udhar achanak Abhi ke ungli mein lag gayi hathode se….Abhi ne ek haath mein uss ghayal ungli ko zor se dabate hue dard se tadapne laga. Isssssshhhh karte hue…. To Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Ruhi dekho dekho kia hua Abhi ko, uss waqt Ruhi ek pal ke liye chulhe par kuch karne gayi thi, to jaldi se Ruhi aayi aur jab Abhi ke ungli mein khoon dekha to kaha,

“kaha nah main manhoos hoon, mujhe yahan khada hona hi nahin chahiye tha aap ko disturb kar rahi hoon kaam karne se.”

Abhi ne uss ghayal ungli ko zor se apne dusre haath mein dabaya hua tha aur ab bhi ussko dard ho raha tha, ussne apne niche wale honth ko zor se apne daanton mein dabaya hua tha aur Ruhi ussko kuch iss tarah se dekh rahi thi jaise khud Ruhi ko dard ho rahi thi, aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“Aap uss ungli ko thande paani ke niche daalo to, tab tak main dawaa laati hoon uff!!”

Abhi ne bhunbhunaate hue kaha,

“kyun care kar rahi hai agar juda hona hai to, pyar nahin karti to kyun ussko dard ho raha hai mere liye? Ab kyun Mehboob se darr nahin lag raha usse? Ab kyun sab bhool gayi? Ab kaise mera itna khayal rakh rahi hai….?? Ruhi tum mujhse bahot pyar karti ho Ruhi…. Magar mujhe nahin pata kyun chhupaane ki koshish karne lagi ho kuch dinon se – kuch to baat hui hogi…..”

Yeh sab Abhi khud se kehta raha tab tak Ruhi aayi ek choti si sisi lekar jiss mein dawa tha ghav par lagaane ke liye.. Abhi niche baitha hua tha, to Ruhi ko bhi niche apne tangon par baithna pada Abhi ke saamne, aur Abhi ko uss ungli ko saamne karne ko kaha Ruhi ne…. jab Ruhi baithi to Abhi Ruhi ke tangon ko dekh raha tha apne ungli ko usske saamne karte hue, Ruhi ne dekha ke Abhi ki nazar usske dress ke niche gaye, aur apne honth ko Ruhi ne daanton mein dabaate hue kaha,

“Wo sab ab bool jao aap, aap ke kismat mein wo sab nahin tha shayad, aap ko mauka mila bhi tha magar aap ne uss mauke ko ganwaa diya…”

Aur Ruhi ne Abhi ke ghayal ungli par phoonka, dawa lagaane se pehle to Abhi usske chehre mein dekhte hue aankhon mein bhare hue aansoo se, dard bhari awaaz mein kaha,

“Ruhi mere kaleje mein bhi phook maar do nah yaar bahot dard ho raha hai wahan, nahin saha jata yaar…”

Ruhi ke aankhon se jhar jhar aansoo behne lage aur sar niche jhukaate hue apni nazron ko churaane lagi Abhi se to Abhi ne usska haath thaam kar ussko rokte hue kaha,

“batao abhi kaise mere itna karib baithi ho jabke wahan bus ke paas Mehboob khada dekh raha hai, iss waqt kyun tumko uss se darr nahin lag raha? Abhi kyun tumhein usska koyi khauff nahin hai?”

Ruhi wahin baithi rahi aur piche mudh kar apni maa ko ek baar dekha aur behte anssowon mein Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Abhi, aap mujhe bhool jao please, aap ko bahot saare khubsurat ladkiyan mil jayenge, main aap ke liye sahi ladki nahin hoon…”

Yeh kehte hue Ruhi itna royi ke Abhi uss se ziada rone laga. Abhi se raha nah gaya aur Ruhi se lipatna chaha, magar thik jab Abhi ke baahein Ruhi ke taraf hua Ruhi ek kadam piche ho gayi aur kaha,

“Nahin Abhi yeh sahi nahin hai, apni ungli idhar karo main dawa laga doon…”

Abhi ke gaal par aansoo behne lage the, usske naak se paani nikal pade the aur ussi haal mein Abhi bola,

“Dil par bhi dawa laga do nah Ruhi wahan to iss se bhi ziada choat lagi hai mujhe…. Kia yaar agar mera dard nahin dekha gaya tumse, itni caring ho to kyun tumse mera dil ka dard nahin dikh raha? Care karti ho mera to dil ka bhi care karo nah Ruhi…”

Abhi ki rone ki awaaz nikal gayi, to Ruhi ne apne hatheli ko Abhi ke munh se lagaate hue kaha,

“sssshhhhh kia kar rahe ho aap sab log sun lenge, sssshhhh chhup ho jao nah”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke hatheli ko chum liya aur kaha,

“lagta hai ek zamana hua tumhare kissi ang ko apne honth se lagaaye hue….

Mujhe aise mat tadpao Ruhi, mujhko apne seene se lagalo nah Ruhi mujhko bahut araam milega, please Ruhi, tumhare jism ki khushbhoo ko ab khayaalon mein basaya hua hoon, ek baar apne jism ki khusbhoo lene do nah mujhe….”

Ruhi ne tab Abhi ke ungli par dawa lagaate hue kaha, aur rote hue hi kaha,

“main ne kaha nah ke aap mujhe bhool jao….”

Abhi rota raha , aansoo jaari rahe usske aankhon se, ruk ruk kar rote hue aur Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue tutti awaaz mein kaha,

“To kyun mujhe kiss karne diya tha, kyun mujhko itne baar apne baahon mein bharne diya tha, kyun mujhko jeeb se chidhaati thi, kyun mujhse itne meethi meethi baatein karti thi, kyun mere seene par apna sar rakhti thi, kyun mere chest ke baal se khelti thi, aur kahun Ruhi? Aur bahot kuch keh sakta hoon…….”

Ruhi ki baari thi ab rone ki, sar jhukaaye rone lagi thi aur iss baar usski awaaz aayi rote hue tab tak Mehboob wahan agaya aur Ruhi se naraz hote hue kaha,

“Tamasha banana hai? Sab ko dikhana hai? Kia hua hai tum donon ko bachon ki tarah rone lage ho? Apne baap ko aane do phir apna tamasha banana, ya ghar ke andar jaa kar ro lo rona hai to, sabke saamne kyun tamasha bana rahi ho?!”

Ruhi filmon ki heroinon ki tarah uth kar bhaagte hue ghar ke andar chali gayi…..

Aur Mehboob ne Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi main ne tumse abhi kuch der pehle baat kiya nah? Usske pita se baat kar lena bhai kyun itna tamasha kar rahe ho sabke saamne tum?! Apne kaam par dhyan do bhai mujhe kal bus chalana hai, issko road par laana hai kal!”

Tab tak Sunil aur Tony wahan agaye the Abhi ko sambhaalne, magar Sunil ne jab Ruhi ki maa ko wahan kitchen mein dekha to uss se baat karne laga Ruhi aur Abhi ke baare mein.

Aur Tony Abhi ko legaya bus mein aur wo khud unn lohon ko kaatne chala gaya. Unn lohon se bus ke niche ek separate box bana ke weld karna tha kyunke ussko additional Mehboob ne lagaane ko kaha wahan kuch khaas rakhne ke liye. Weisa kaam shuru mein hota hai, bus finishing par tha phir bhi wo kaam kiya jaa raha tha jo pehle din kiya jata hai…. Abhi bus ke andar seat par baith kar rota raha kuch der, baaki ke saare log uss ke paas gaye puchne ke kia hua, Abhi bata nahin paa raha tha, George ne kaha,

“Ruhi ke father ko ane do hum sab uss se baat karenge”

Tab saeed ne George se kaha,

“are nahin George, hum log uss se nahin kar sakte koyi baat, hum baahar ke log hein, usske father ko eitraaz ho sakta hai….”

Abhi ne dekha ke Sunil ne Ruhi ki maa ke saath koyi 15 mins tak baat kiya, aur Sunil wapas bus mein aya to Abhi ne uss se pucha ke kia kaha usski mummy ne magar ab Sunil batana nahin chah raha tha….

Sunil aur Abhi ki itni achi dosti ho gayi thi, aur sunil ne kaha tha ke wo khud Abhi ke liye baat karega Ruhi ke parents se, to aisa kia keh diya tha Ruhi ki maa ne Sunil se ke ab Sunil Abhi ko batana nahin chah raha tha?

Abhi Sunil se kaam karte hue puchta gaya baar baar magar Sunil yehi jawaab deta ke usske aur Ruhi ke baare mein koyi baat nahin hui thi.

Abhi ko pata tha ke 15 mins tak sirf aur sirf Abhi aur Ruhi ke baare mein hi baat kiye the Sunil aur Ruhi ki maa ne magar Abhi nahin samajh raha tha ke ab Sunil kyun ussko nahin bata raha tha ke Ruhi ki maa ne kia kaha.

Abhi ne pucha,

“Sunil please bata nah kia usski maa ne yeh kaha ke ussko khabar mili ke main nikamma hoon, lazy hoon, kaam nahin karta hoon? Aisa kaha kia ussne? Ussne mujhse yeh sab keh diya hai aur main ne safaayi bhi de diya hai bata nah mere dost kia kaha usski mummy ne yaar!”

Sunil ne tab kaha,

“Dekh Abhi yaar, Ruhi ki father araha hai nah, tu uss se baat karna, yehi kaha usski maa ne mujhe ke baap decision lega, aur wo acha aadmi hai tu asaani se uss se baat kar lega mujhe yakeen hai.”

Abhi: “yaar Sunil 15 minats tak kia itna hi baat kiya ussne tumse? Kyun chhupa raha hai yaar bata nah? Tu yeh mat soch ke mera dil tut jaega, mujh par kia beetega, dil already churr churr ho chuka hai mere bhai tu bata nah kia kaha Ruhi ki maa ne mere aur Ruhi ke rishte ke baare mein? Yaar Ruhi bhi nahin bata rahi mujhko, ussne to mujhe ussko bhool jaane ko bhi keh diya yaar, to tu mat chhupa mujhse mere dost!”

Sunil: “Ruhi ne tujhko aisa kaha? Usse bhool jaane ko kaha? Abhi yeh ussne nahin kaha tujhe, uss se kehelwaya gaya hai!”

Abhi: “mujhe pata hai yaar Ruhi aisa nahin keh sakti to kaun hai jo Ruhi ko nacha raha ya rahi hai yaar? Kia usski maa ne Ruhi ko mujhse door kiya? Kia wohi nacha rahi hai Ruhi ko? Magar kyun yaar?!”

Sunil ne baat badalte hue phir kaha,

“Tu Ruhi ke pita se baat karna bhai sab zaroor thik ho jaega, fikar mat kar tu Abhi!”

Abhi laparwah ke jaise kaam karta gaya. Ussko lagta tha wo girr padega, ussko khud ko sambhaalne ki taaqat nahin thi…..

Kuch der baad Ruhi ki badi behen aur usski husband aaye, sab tayaar the Airport se Ruhi ke pita ko pick up karne ke liye. Aaj pehli baar Abhi ne Ruhi ki badi behen ko dekha tha. Wo bilkool bhi Ruhi jaisi nahin dikhti thi. Thodi khadus dikhi wo abhi ko. 2 chote bachon ki maa thi, thodi si moti thi aur naati thi, Ruhi se bhi kad mein chhoti thi. Abhi ko nahin pata tha kaun hein ussko Sunil ne bus mein kaha ke Ruhi ki badi behen arahi hai.

Jiss waqt wo aayi to andar Ruhi ro rahi thi kyunke wo Abhi se door hone ke baad ungli par dawa dene ke baad andar roti rahi, badi behen ko pata chala saare maajra to wo bhi aayi thi stairs par Abhi ko dekhne. Sunil ne Abhi se kaha,

“Dekh ussko sab pata chal gaya, ab wo bhi tumko dekhne aayi hai wo jaanna chahti hogi ke usska to-be brother-in-law kaun hai kaisa hai…..”

Aur wahan se bus mein utne saare log the to behen ko kaise pata chalta ke in sab mein se Abhi kaun hai, to ussne Sunil ko bulaya. Sunil gaya uss se baat karne stair ke paas aur wahan se Sunil ne Abhi ko ishara kiya bus ke baahar aane ko taake Ruhi ki behen ussko dekh sake….

Abhi bus se nikla aur kuch der baahar khada raha taake Ruhi ki behen ussko dekh sake… lagta tha Abhi ki numaayish kiya jaa raha tha!

Ab sochne ki baat hai ke Abhi uss waqt apne kaam karne wale gande kapdon mein tha, usska look ek gharib nauker jaisa dikh raha hoga…. Impress karne ke liye sirf Abhi ka height aur gora rang tha… to Ruhi ki sister ko beshak Abhi achah nahin dikha hoga aur usski raaye lena hota to wo 100% naah kehti yeh sure tha.

Kuch der baad Ruhi ki sister aur usski maa bus ke paas aaye the to Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se pucha

“yeh aap ki beti hai!”

Ruhi ki maa ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“haan yehi hai Ruhi ki badi behen meri pehli beti”

To Abhi ne ussko sar jhukaate hue hello kiya

Ruhi ki maa ne usske saamne Abhi se kaha,

“Aur yeh cigarette bilkool chorrna hoga hamesha ke liye samjhe?”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Iss baare mein Ruhi se baat ho chuki hai aap fikar nah karein hamesha ke liye hi chor dunga, Ruhi se puch lena ke kab”

Abhi ko acha laga ke Ruhi ki maa ne jataate hue uss se wo baat kahi aur wo bhi Ruhi ki badi behen ke saamne, lag aisa raha tha uss waqt ke maa apni badi beti ko lekar apne naye hone wale jamaayi ko milaane aayi thi…. Wo Abhi ko bahot achcha laga…

Phir turant Manoj, Ruhi ki maa aur damaad chale gaye ek car mein airport se Ruhi ke pita ko pick up karne.

Ruhi, usski badi behen aur mahesh nahin gaye the… Abhi khush tha ke Ruhi nahin gayi aur wo ussko kuch der aur dekh paega agar wo saamne aayi to…. Chithi mein Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha tha ke apne pita ke wapas aane ki Khushi mein mujhko nah bhool jana…. Aur ab lag raha tha ke bilkool wohi hone jaa raha tha. sab wahan bahot thrilled the Ruhi ke pita ko receive karne ke liye, uss ghar mein kaafi hulchal tha uss waqt.

Ruhi ki dad shaam 6 baje ghar aaye. Sab ek ek karke uss se mil rahe the aangan mein hi….. Abhi Ruhi ko dekh raha tha ussko pata tha ke Ruhi royegi, aur wo apne pita ko sabke gale milte hue dekh kar khadi ro rahi thi, aur Abhi ussko dekhe jaa raha tha…..

Ruhi ke pita apne chote bhai, aur beton se gale mil raha tha, koyi ro raha tha to koyi usske peeth thapthapa raha tha, Mahesh rone laga uss se gale milne se, wo aakhri chhota beta jo tha… aur aayi baari Ruhi ki apne pita se gale milne ki to usske chand aansoo ke karte gire, Abhi ne socha sirf pita ke lautne ki vajah se ro rahi hai ya Abhi ko bhi yaad kar rahi hai , Abhi se juda hone ke ghum mein bhi ro rahi hai….. aur Abhi ne dekha Ruhi apne pita ke seene se lagi hui to thi magar kum se kum 7 baar Ruhi ki nazrein Abhi par gaye the uss dauraan….

Update 36 Eve Of The Last Day​

Abhi ne socha sirf pita ke lautne ki vajah se ro rahi hai ya Abhi ko bhi yaad kar rahi hai , abhi se juda hone ke ghum mein bhi ro rahi hai….. aur Abhi ne dekha Ruhi apne pita ke seene se lagi hui to thi magar kum se kum 7 baar Ruhi ki nazrein Abhi par gaye the uss dauraan….

Ab aaguey….

Ruhi ka rona jaise rona nahin tha, Abhi ne socha ke agar wo Ruhi ki jagah hota to itna rota apne pita se 3 saal baad milne par ke rukta hi nahin, aur Ruhi ki uss tarah se rone se Abhi ko lag gaya ke Ruhi uss se bahut kum emotional hai, Abhi ruhi se bahut ziada emotional aur sentimental tha Abhi ne khud se kaha.. magar phir Abhi ne yaad kiya ke kitna royi thi uss in Ruhi jab Abhi ne ussko baahon mein bhada tha….. aur abhi kuch der pehle jab Mehboob ne danta tha donon ko tab kitna royi thi fut fut kar Abhi ke saath… to aaj pita se milne ke baad kyun wo nahin royi? Haan shayad bahot ro chuki thi kuch der pehle Abhi ke saath aur wapas ghar men bhag gayi to jaakar khub royi hogi, saare ansoo sukh gaye honge….

Aur thodi der baad jab Ruhi ke father ghar ke andar chala gaya to Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ussko dekh rahi hai terrace par khadi, usski badi behen usske saath thi. Abhi ne socha ab kaise usske paas khadi hai? Socha ke shaayad usski badi behen saath hai iss liye, Abhi ke paas aagayi hai…. Aur achanak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi ko ishara kiya…. Abhi nahin samjha to pucha kia keh rahi hai to badi behen ne kaha ussko matlab Ruhi ko kuch kehna hai… Abhi bahot khush hua aur terrace par gaya puchne ke Ruhi kia keh rahi hai. Ruhi ne normal tarike se kaha,

“Aaj last din hai aap ka yahan ya kal phir ana hoga!”

Abhi ko ek baat yaad aayi aur kaha,

“kyun bala tal jaega agar mera ana end hua to?!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Aapne aaj tak uss baat ko dil se lagaya hua hai Abhi?”

Abhi ne ek gahri saans lete hue kaha,

“Tumhari kaun si baat ko main ne dil se nahin lagaya hai Ruhi? Kissi din tumko dikhaunga ya padhne ko dunga tab padh lena ke tumhare kiss kiss chiz ko main ne dil se lagaya hua hai”

Ruhi ki badi behen Abhi ko upar se niche dekh rahi thi bina muskurahat ke, bina kissi bhi feeling ya emotion ke, lagta tha wo samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hai ke Abhi sahi ladka hai ya nahin Ruhi ke liye. To Ruhi mudh kar apni badi behen ko dekhte hue uss se kaha,

“Dekha na di, aise hi baat karta hai, itna tez hai ke pucho mat, maa bhi innse kabhi nahin jeet sakti, he is too intelligent.

”

To Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Achah thodi der mein tumhare papa se baat karne aunga, kaam end hone ke baad, wash kar lunga tab okay… tum sath dogi nah, kahin tumhare papa yeh nah samjhe ke mera pyar ek tarfa hai kaha tha nah main ne khat mein?!”

Ruhi pehle apni behen ko dekh kar muskuraayi, tab Abhi ko dekh kar hanssi, phir apne chehre par ek sikanjh late hue kaha,

“uff issi liye main puchne aayi ke aaj kaam end hoga ya nahin, no, Abhi mere papa se kuch nahin kehna hai, main nahin chahti ke aap uss se abhi kuch bhi kaho!”

Abhi puchne hi jaa raha tha ke kyun tab tak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi se kaha,

“Wo abhi abhi aaye hein thake honge aur itni badi baat unn se kehna achah nahin lagega, kal aap baat kar lena!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“aur agar aaj kaam end ho gaya, to main kal sirf unn se milne ke liye aa sakta hoon nah?!”

Ruhi ne khud kaha,

“yes of course aap aa sakte ho kiss ne mana kiya aap ko?!”

Abhi ne turant kaha,

“YAAD RAKHUNGA ISS BAAT KO”

Ruhi ne hanss diye tab Abhi ne phir kaha,

“Ab agle 24 hours ke beech tumhare papa ke kaan bhare jaa sakte hein mere khilaaf, to agar ussko accept bhi karna hota tab na karega, aur agar abhi iss se pehle ke usse koyi kuch kahe, main seedha jaa kar baat kar lun to bahut behtar hoga mere khayal se…”

Ruhi ki badi behen ne kaha,

“aap ne kia ghalat kiya hai jo koyi aap ke khilaaf kuch kahega? Kia aap ne koyi ghalat kaam kiya hai? Nahin nah? To kaun kuch bhi keh sakta hai mere papa ko aap ke khilaaf?!”

Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha tab tak Tony ne Abhi ko help ke liye bulaya to ussko jaana pada aur donon andar chale gaye.

Magar Abhi ko sahi nahin lag raha tha ke kal tak baat ko roke, wo Ruhi ke father se issi waqt baat karna chahta tha, iss liye kuch der baad Ruhi ki maa dikhi to Abhi uss se puchne gaya aur kaha,

“main ab ata hoon Ruhi ke papa se baat karne aaun kia?!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Are hum log Ruhi ki nani ke yahan jaa rahe hein wo bimaar hai nah, Ruhi ke papa ussko dekhne jaa rahe hein abhi issi waqt.”

Raat 7.30 ko extention electric wire mein bulb lagaa kar kaam kar rahe the Abhi aur team. Sab samajh rahe the ke raat ke barah baje tak sab kaam end ho jayenge iss liye complete karna chahte the. Ye pehli baar tha ke itna der raat ko bhi kaam jaari tha bus mein. Aur Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ka baap aur baaki ke log jaa rahe hein usske nani ke ghar car mein. Ruhi bhi jaa rahi thi. Ussne ek nayi dress pehni thi jissko aaj pehli baar Abhi dekh raha tha, iss se pehle Ruhi ne kabhi nahin pehni thi wo dress. Kamaal ki khubsurat dikh rahi thi, kayamat lag rahi thi aur Abhi paagal hone laga tha ussko uss tarah dekh kar…. Ruhi ne jaate jaate kayi baar Abhi ke taraf dekha, varna ussko pata tha shayad ke Abhi baad mein kehta ke tumne jaate hue mujhko ek nazar bhi nahin dekha. Abhi bhi ussi ko ghurre jaa raha tha, phir zor se Abhi “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna” whistle karne laga.

Phir bus ke andar Manoj paint kar raha tha chhote chhote jagahon par ek paint brush se. Sunil ne ussko wo karne ko kaha tha, jiss jiss jagah par air holes jo ceilings mein hota hai, Abhi fix kar raha tha, sabhi unn jagahon ke niche Manoj paint kar raha tha, iss liye Manoj aur Abhi ek saath kaam kar rahe the. Itni jaldi thi sab kuch finish karne ke liye family ke saare log help kar rahe the…To Abhi ne Manoj se pucha,

“tum apne nani ko dekhne nahin gaye?”

Manoj ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“nahin main nahin gaya, meri maa, papa aur behen gaye…”

Jab ‘behen’ word kaha Manoj ne to hansste hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekha tab kaha, “Ruhi gayi hai saath”

Abhi ne muskurate hue socha,

“saale ko pata hai ke main Ruhi ko chahta hoon issi liye hanss kar Ruhi ka naam alag se liya behen kehne ke baad”

Tab Abhi ne pucha,

“kaafi door gaye hein nah? bahut late wapas ayenge nah?”

Manoj ne phir hansste hue kaha,

“nahin ziada late nahin ayenge, tum yahin honge, unn se mil paoge, weh log wapas ajayenge dekh lena…”

Abhi ko pakka yakeen ho gaya ke Manoj ko sab kuch pata hai Ruhi aur usske baare mein.

Aur Manoj ne yeh bhi kaha Abhi se,

“main ne baaki ke rolls develop karne ko de diya hai, kal photos mil jaenge wo tumko de dunga kal hi, okay, aur akhri ekaat pics jo lunga road par wo phir kabhi kissi tarah tum tak pahuncha dunga.”

Dinner Mehboob ke ghar kiya Abhi aur team ne. Aur raat ko kaam jaari raha bus mein. Abhi pray karne laga ke Ruhi wapas aajaye Abhi ke wapas jaane se pehle…. Raat ko aaj tak kabhi kaam nahin kiya tha uss aangan mein Abhi ne…. Aur mahaul kuch aisa tha ke Abhi ko wo raat yaad ane lagi jiss raat ko wo Ruhi ke ghar par ruka tha…. iss aangan mein iss bus ke piche kiss kiye the donon ne eisi hi raat ke andhere mein…. Wohi fiza thi, wohi khusbhoo thi baahar ke hawaaon mein, aur Abhi ko Ruhi ki baahon ki khushbhoo yaad aayi, usski jakar mein jo komalta tha wo yaad aya, kiss tarah uss raat ko Ruhi ne kapde change kiye the usske samne wo yaad aya Abhi ko aur wo tadapne laga Ruhi ke liye…..

Abhi Ruhi ko dekhna chahta tha, ussko baahon mein phir bharne ki chaah jagi Abhi ke andar, usska dil Ruhi ko yaad karne laga aur Abhi ne asmaan ke taraf sar utha kar kaha,

“Ey upar waale, ey zameen aasmaan banana wale, ey chand sitaare banaane wale, bhej de meri Ruhi ko mera paas, mera dil machalne laga hai ussko dekhne ke liye”

Duah turant kubool hui aur car ne aangan mein entry li, Ruhi car se utri apne parents ke saath. Raat ke 10.30 hue the. Car thik Abhi ke bagal mein ruki, aur jiss jagah Ruhi ko car se utarna tha wo thik Abhi ke side mein tha…. kyunke Andhera tha, kissi ko dikhta nahin to Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath pakar liya….

Ruhi chhuraane ki koshish kar rahi thi magar Abhi chorr nahin raha tha iss liye Ruhi ko khamosh wahi khada rehna pada varna koyi bhi dekh leta ke wo Abhi ke haath se apna haath chhura rahi hai, magar yeh sirf koyi 15 seconds tak hua kyunke tab tak usski maa bhi car se nikli aur Abhi ko Ruhi ka haath chorrna pada….

Assal mein Abhi ne socha tha sabke saamne Ruhi ko apne baahon mein kasske bhar lene ko, sabke saamne, Mehboob ke, usski maa ke, Ruhi ke pita ke, Manoj ke, Mahesh ke, Ruhi ki behen aur behnoy ke saamne Ruhi ko kaske apne bahon bharkar eylaan karne ko ke wo Ruhi se beinteha pyar karta hai aur aaj issi waqt usske pita se usska haath mangta hai shaadi ke liye…. Abhi ek vision jaise kar raha tha, jaise filmon mein flashback aate hai nah, weise Abhi khud uss scene ko apne khayaalon mein dekh raha tha uss waqt Ruhi ka haath chorrne ke baad.

Aur jab Ruhi ka haath chorr diya Abhi ne, tab tak usski maa nikli car se, Ruhi ne apni kalaayi massalte hue Abhi ko teerchi nazar se dekha aur ussko jeeb se chidhaate hue ghar ke taraf jaane lagi, aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi itna late kaam kar rahe ho aaj? Finish nahin hua kia?”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“haan dekha nah raat ke 11 bajne ko hai aur kaam kar raha hoon aur pata nahin kaun aap ke kaan bhar rahe hein ke main nikkamma hoon… nahin finish nahin hua lagta hai kal bhi ana padega, aur kal pakka LAST day hoga iss bus mein kaam ki!!”

Abhi ko to bahot Khushi ho rahi tha ke ussko aur ana padega us aangan mein kaam karne ko kal bhi.

Ruhi ki maa ne terrace par rukte hue Abhi ko haath ke ishare se bulaya, wo gaya uss se baat karne aur bus ke andar se Manoj apni maa ko Abhi se baat karte hue dekh kar hanss raha tha, aur Ruhi lounge mein kadhi dekh rahi thi ab tak apne kalaayi ko massalte hue jahan Abhi ne zor se ussko pakra tha jab wo car se nikli thi to, aur Abhi ko ishaare se dikha rahi thi ke Abhi ke panje ka nishaan ban gaya hai Ruhi ki kalaayi par, Ruhi ne munh banaate hue apni kalaayi Abhi ko dikhaya aur jaise apne nazron se keh rahi thi, “dekho tumne mere kalaayi par nishaan bana diya apne panje ka, kitna zor ke pakra tha meri kalaayi ko!”

Aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi mujhe afsos hai ke main tumko NAH kehti hoon ab Ruhi ke liye final word hai NO!”

Abhi ki awaaz nahin nikli…. Wo khamosh raha aur Ruhi ko dekhta raha lounge mein, full lights the Ruhi par, chamak rahi thi apni nayi dress mein, chehre par jaise ek noor thi Ruhi ke, aur Abhi uskso dekhte hue soch raaha tha ke kia yeh hoor, yeh pari meri nahin hogi? Aisa ho nahin sakta, kal to isske papa se main baat karke hi rahunga chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye.”

Kaam jaari raha raat ke 00.30 tak. Abhi raat ko bhi Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekh raha tha, aur apne gaane ki tune ki seeti baja raha tha, iss umeed se ke Ruhi soyi nahin hogi, iss liye ke wo iss waqt tak kaam raha the aur Ruhi sunein aur baahar aakar ussko dekhe….. magar wo to sapnon mein Abhi ko seeti bajaate hue dekh rahi hogi uss waqt.

Subha ke 1 baje Abhi aur team ko ek car ghar wapas chorrne gaya, car ko Mehboob ne rent kiya tha.

Subha 3 baje tak Abhi ne sab kuch likha apne diary mein aur last line ko bold mein yeh likh kkar diary ko band kiya,

“TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY I WILL WORK THERE. I HOPE TO COME BACK HERE TOMORROW AND WRITE THAT RUHI’S PARENTS ACCEPTED AND NOW RUHI IS MINE.”

To be continued….

Update 37 The Last Day & Night In Ruhi’s Aangan​

Wednesday 24th December – Christmas Eve.

Abhi ne iss din ke liye apni diary mein likha hai:

It has been the last and worst day and night in Ruhi’s yard.

Subha subha Ruhi ki maa Abhi ke saath hanss rahi thi. Aur Abhi ko Ruhi nazar aayi kitchen ke andar. Aaj Ruhi ek nayi nightdress mein thi. Ek khubsurat nightdress jo safed thi aur uss par bade bade red, black aur green dots the. Ruhi dada ji ke armchair par baithi hui thi.

Abhi ne usski maa se baat ki. Aur uss aurat ne iss baar kaha,

“Sorry Abhi, Ruhi ke papa ne ussko iss baar apne saath Saudi Arabia lejaane ka faisla kiya hai!!”

Abhi ko itna ghussa aya ke usska mann kiya ke ussko gaaliyon se nehla de ussi waqt. Abhi ne socha issi liye wo kal hi Ruhi ke baap se bat karna chahta tha iss se pehle ke Ruhi ki maa khud koyi bahana bana kar apne pati ke munh mein koyi baat khud nah daal de…. Abhi samajh gaya ke kal raat ko Ruhi ki maa ne khud sab kuch bata diya hoga apne pati ko ke Abhi Ruhi se pyar karta hai magar ussko Rishta nahin passand kyunke ussko Abhi ka kaam nahin passand, to apne pati se keh diya hoga ke aaj wo ladka aap se Ruhi ka haath mangega to aap mana kar dena…..

Abhi issi liye nahin chahta tha ke koyi aur Ruhi ke pita se baat kare issi liye wo sabse pehle baat karna chahta tha Ruhi ke pita se kal raat ko…..

Abhi sab kuch apne dimaagh mein rewind karte hue soch raha tha aur samajhne ki koshish kar raha tha ke jiss din Ruhi gayi thi apne nani ke ghar tabhi se Ruhi berukhi se pesh ane lagi Abhi ke saath, aur kal raat ko isi baat ke liye Ruhi ke papa ko bhi legaye sab wahan aur issi baare mein baat kiye gaye honge aur sabne milkar decide kiya hoga ke Abhi ko yeh jawaab de diya jaaye ke Ruhi ke pita Ruhi ko apne saath lekar jaa raha hai iss baar….. Abhi ko puri film dikh gayi usske dimaagh mein… to Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se kaha,

“koyi mujhko laakhon rupay bhi dede nah to main yakeen nahin karunga? Saudi Arabia mein koyi apni beti ko lejata hai? Ladki ko? Unn vehshi, tharki Arab logon ke beech? Aap mujhko ullo samajhte ho nah aunty? Thik hai wohi samajhiye aap mujhe….”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“tum khud puchlo agar yakeen nahin hai to!”

Abhi: “puchunga to ab wo to yehi kahega nah? sab mile hue hein iss mein koyi shak nahin, jo aap ne ussko kehne ko kaha wohi kahega wo…. Zaahir si baat hai.”

Din bhar Abhi ranjh o ghum mein raha. Usski maansik stithi normal nahin raha din bhar….. ussko saans lene mein takliff hota raha baar baar…..

Ruhi dikhi ussko kayi baar magar baat karna naamumkin tha….

Aur din ke 2.30 ko Abhi ko pata chala ke Ruhi ki badi behen ussko apne saath lekar jaa rahi hai, Ruhi apni behen ke ghar kuch dinon ko beetaane ke liye jaa rahi thi…. Abhi ko zabardast jhatka laga ye khabar sunkar…. Usska uss aangan mein aakhri din tha aur wo chahta tha ke Ruhi ko wo jee bhar ke dekhe aur mauka milne par uss se baat kare apna pyar ka waasta de Ruhi ko…. Magar jab suna ke Ruhi jaa rahi hai to Abhi jaise tut gaya… Farzina ne Abhi ko bataya ke Ruhi apni badi behen ke saath jaa rahi hai, ab pata nahin ke Ruhi ne khud farzinah ko yeh kehne liye bheja tha ya nahin, Abhi ko shak tha ke khud Ruhi ne hi Farzinah ko kaha tha Abhi ko jaakar bataane ke liye ke wo jaa rahi hai…. Abhi ko shcok laga, shock par shock, dard par dard, Abhi ki sehen shakti kum hote dikhaayi diye….magar ussko abhi aur bhi bada shock jhelna baaki tha…

Bus ke andar se Ruhi ki khidki dikhta tha, aur Ruhi baal banaate hue dikh rahi thi, jaise Ruhi jaan bujh kar Abhi to dikha rahi thi taake Abhi ko pata chale ke wo jaa rahi hai. Abhi ke paas ek hi mauka aur ek hi raasta tha ke wo wahan jaaye uss khidki ke paas aur ek AAKHRI baar wahan se Ruhi se baat kare…

Abhi ne kaam ko maara goli aur gaya Ruhi ke khidki ke paas…. Ussne dekha Ruhi ne uss yellow suit ko pehna hua tha jiss mein uss din apni maa ke saath apni nani ke yahan gayi thi, halki si make mein thi aur kayamat lag rahi thi… usski maa wahin thi aur Ruhi khudko aine mein dekh rahi thi baal banaate hue…. Abhi ne ek book diya tha Ruhi ko koyi 20 din pehle, to Abhi ne kaha,

“hey Ruhi, mera kitab….” Abhi ki awaaz nahin nikal rahi thi… Ruhi ne nahin suna aur usskki maa ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Wo apna kitab mang raha hai Ruhi”

Ruhi ne thoda chahunkte hue kaha,

“Are haan, main to bilkool hi bhool gayi thi ke ek aap ki kitaab mere paas hai itne dinon se, sorry abhi laayi!”

Ruhi ne uss book ko Abhi ko wapas kiya.

Abhi bahot bahot udaas tha,wo kamzor dikh raha tha, lagta tha bimaar hai. Phir bhi Abhi ne pucha,

“Ruhi kia decide kiya tumne?!”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Be Patient Abhi!”

Abhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha,

“Abhi issi waqt tum mujhse aise baat kar rahi ho jaise hum ajnabee hein, tum jaise badal gayi ho, jaise tum meri Ruhi nahin koyi aur ho, kyun Ruhi, kal to itna royi thi jab mujhe choat lagi thi nah, tab bhi tum nahin samjhi mere dil ka haal Ruhi?”

Ruhi zor se hanssi…. Wo ek hanssi nahin thi kuch aur tha, wo Abhi ko aur ziada hurt karne ki ek tamacha tha Abhi ke gaal par.

Ruhi ne tab ek chewing gum ke do tukde kiye aur ek tudka Abhi ko diya aur dusra tukda apne munh mein le liya….. wo chewing wo tha jo Ruhi chabaati thi jab Abhi ko piche kiss karne jaati thi…. ek din Ruhi ek chewing chabah rahi thi aur Ruhi ko kiss karte waqt, Abhi ne Ruhi ke munh se usski chewing gum ko apne munh mein le liya tha….. uss roz donon ne phir chewing gum par baat kiye the aur uss din ko bhi Ruhi ne aise hi ek tudka chewing gum diya tha Abhi ko….. aur aaj apni maa ke saamne ussne wohi kiya…… kyun aisa kiya tha Ruhi ne? kyun puraane yaadon ko taaza kar rahi thi ab?! Magar Abhi ko passand aya tha ke Ruhi ne ussko aadha chewing gum diya….

Abhi ka Ruhi ke saath yeh akhri conversation ho raha tha. Abhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke ab wo Ruhi se kia kahe. Sab kuch jaise ulat phulat ho gaya tha, sab bigar gaya tha, jo kuch Abhi ne socha tha kuch bhi veisa nahin ho raha tha sirf iss liye ke Ruhi to jaa rahi thi…. Ulta Abhi ne socha tha aaj wo khud jaega, aaj usska last din hoga wahan aur ussne bahot kuch socha tha ke kaam finish karne ke baad wo Ruhi se baat karne jaega chaahe ghanton bhar hi kyun nah sahhi magar aaj wo apne dil ka haal bayan karta Ruhi se, uske parents se, sab se rokar Ruhi ka haath maangta magar ab Ruhi hi nahin rahegi to kia karega…. Abhi ke paas ab shabd nahin baaki tha kehne ke liye….

Abhi soch raha the ke sirf Ruhi yeh keh deti ke wo Abhi se pyar karti hai aur uss se shaadi karna chahti hai to koyi inkaar nahin karte. Magar ab to lag aisa raha tha ke Ruhi khud nahin chahti thi kyukne wo buss wo buss “NAHIN, NO,” kehti jaa rahi thi.

Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Ab ‘NO’ keh rahi ho Ruhi, kia Christmas ka tohfa diya aaj tumne mujhko Ruhi!”

Ruhi ne chehre par bina koyi afsos ya ghum dikhaate hue kaha,

“I am very sorry for you Abhi”

Abhi ne kaha,

“kia tum apne papa se nahin keh sakti ke tum bhi mujhe chahti ho?!”

Ruhi ne fake Muskaan mein jawaab diya,

“magar main khud desh chorr rahi hoon nah Abhi!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Okay main intezaar karunga tumhare lautne ka.”

Tab Ruhi ki badi behen ne kaha,

“kab tak? Aap kab tak intezaar karoge isska?”

Abhi: “100 saalon tak!”

Badi behen khamosh ho gayi.

Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa se Ruhi ki father ko bulane ko kaha. Ruhi ki maa ne usse bulaya, baap aaya aur sach mein ek hasmukh chehre wala insaan tha, wo aakar Ruhi ki bed par baitha Abhi ko dekhte hue, aur Abhi ne ussko samjhaya, ke wo aur Ruhi kitna ek dusre se pyar karte hein….. jab Abhi sab keh raha tha Ruhi ke pita se uss waqt Ruhi aine ke saamne khadi khud ko sanwaar rahi thi magar baar baar Abhi ko bhi dekh rahi thi ussko usski pita se baat karte hue….

Ruhi ke pita ne Abhi ko jo jawaab diya wo 100% fake tha, jissko sunkar Abhi samajh gaya ke wo saare baatein banawati the aur Ruhi ki maa ne wo sab kehne ke liye kaha tha ussko.

Baap ne Abhi se kaha,

“Dekho main pehle se plan kar chuka hoon ke Ruhi ko apne saath leja raha hoon iss baar, aur phir uss ladke ko hum ne zuban de diya hai wo France mein hai aur wapas aakar Ruhi ko lejaega!”

Tab Ruhi ne Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue kaha,

“Dekha? Main ne kaha tha magar aap yakeen nahin kar rahe the!”

Abhi ne apne dil ke andar khud se kaha,

“Tu bhi jhooti hai Ruhi, jiss din tumne apni virginity wali baat bataayi thi tab to kaha tha ke wo saare abroad wale ladke wali baatein jhoot the, aur ab keh rahi ho ke sach hai…”

Phir Abhi ne Ruhi ke pita se kaha,

“Dekhiye agar main aap se kahun ke main wait karunga, ke iss baar jab aap Ruhi ke saath wapas aao tab aunga, chahe aur 3 saal lag jaye main Ruhi ka intezaar karunga to?”

Baap ne kaha,

“Magar Ruhi ko wo France se lene aega nah, hum ne ussko pehle zuban de diye hain!”

Ruhi ne tab Abhi se apne donon eyebrows uchkaaya kuch iss tarah ke jaise Abhi haar gaya aur wo aur usske pita jeey gaye, aur phir Ruhi ne kaha,

“Dekho Abhi, aap ko bahot saare khubsurat ladkiyan mil jaenge, aap handsome ho, intelligent ho, tez ho, main koyi rani maharani nahin, mujh mein kuch aisa nahin hai ke aap ko sirf main hi chahiye, main bahot buri hoon pucho meri maa se ke main kitni buri ladki hoon!”

Ruh ki maa ne turant Ruhi ki baat par haami bharte hue kaha,

“haan Ruhi bahot hi buri ladki hai”

Abhi ne ussko turant jawaab diya,

“main Ruhi ko kissi tarah se bhi accept karta hoon!”

Usski badi behen ne kaha,

“aap wait karte karte thak jaoge, bore ho jaoge aur aap ko koyi aur mil jaegi dekh lena!”

Abhi ke honth thartharaane lage the kyunke ussko ab dikh gaya tha ke Ruhi to haath se gayi ab…. Usske aankhon se paani behne hi wala tha, ke Abhi ne sar niche jhukaya…. Ruhi ko pata chal gaya ke Abhi ab rone wala hai, to usski bhi aankhen badh aayi, maa, baap, badi behen sab Aabhi ke chehre mein khamosh ghaur se dekh rahe the, sab ko pata tha wo tut chuka hai aur ab ro padega…

Abhi ne sar jhukaaye hue hi kaha,

“okay”

Aur mudh gaya jaane ke liye, to Ruhi ki maa ne ussko awaaz di, Abhi wapas mudha, apne chehre ko uss kitab se chhupaate aur aankh ponchte hue,

Ruhi ke papa ne kaha,

“ghussa mat hona, sorry.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“koyi baat nahin”

Sab ke nazrein Abhi ke chehre par the, sab ko pata tha Abhi ko jhatka laga hai aur ussko bahot dard ho raha hoga, sab ko Abhi ke chehre mein wo ghum, wo dukh dikh raha tha, sab ko pata tha Abhi ke aakhen bhar aaye hein, aur sab ko yeh bhi pata tha ke Abhi apne emotions ko chhupaane ki koshish kar raha hai aur book se apna munh chhupa raha hai….. Ruhi ka brother-in-law khud Abhi ko uss tarah se tutte hue dekh kar heyraan tha aur Abhi ke chehre mein bahot dard bhare chehre se dekhe jaa raha tha….. Ruhi ki badi behen ke aankhen bhar aaye, Ruhi ki maa ke aankhen bhar aaye…. Magar iss baar Ruhi ki aankhen nahin bari thi, aur Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“LOOK ABHI, I AM REALLY VERY SORRY FOR YOU, I MEANT IT, MY HEART FEELS IT FOR YOU ABHI. WISH YOU MUCH COURAGE AND PATIENCE ABHI.”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko halki si Muskaan se dekha aur tapakte aansoowon se usske chehre mein dekhte hue kaha.

“The deception does exist right? So, its okay, never mind Ruhi, you be happy always, that’s all I can wish for you!”

Abhi wapas bus mein jaa baitah aur rone laga, rokna namumkin tha….. ek baar to zor se roya…. Bus ke sabhi kaam karne waale Abhi ke paas aa gaye, koyi usske sar thapthapa, koyi usske peeth par haatyh ferrta, koyi ussko paani deta, sab ussko shant karaane mein lage hue tha…. Mehboob bhi wahin tha, aur wo bhi Abhi ko support karne ka dhong kar raha tha….. Abhi khud ko rokne ki koshish mein laga hua tha magar nahin kar paa raha tha, rona ruk hi nahin raha tha usska

Koyi 30 mins baad Abhi chhup hua aur jo kaam karna baaki tha uss mein lag gaya phir bhi baar baar ro deta tha kaam karte hue…. Pata nahin kia kia soch soch kar rone lagta…..

Aur aayi wo waqt jo Abhi ke liye kayamat se kum nahin tha….

To be continued in the next post immediately….

Update 38 Ruhi Leaves – Completion Of The Bus​

Ruhi aur baaki ke jaane wale log ghar se nikle; usski badi behen, behnoy, unnke do bache….. Ruhi bus ke paas se guzarte hue teen baar bus ke andar Abhi ko dhunda apne nazron se… bus mein karib 10 log the uss waqt to Ruhi ko dhundna para, aur jab usski nazar Abhi par pari to ussne turant sar niche jhuka liya. Usski haath mein ek halki si bag thi aur kaandhe par usskki handbag.... Abhi se dekha nahin jaa raha tha, usske dil par uss waqt kia guzar raha tha bayaan karna mushkil tha….

Ruhi ki badi behen aur behnoy bachchon ke saath ruk gaye kissi se baat karne ko, aur Ruhi apni cousin ke ghar tak reach hui thi aur ruk kar apne badi behen ka wait karne lagi…. Uss waqt Ruhi ki nazrein bus mein Abhi ko dhund rahe the; aur Abhi ne khud ko sunil ke piche chhupaye hue Ruhi ko dekh raha tha, Sunil ne kaha,

“Abhi wo tumko dhund rahi hai saamne to aa!”

Abhi ne Sunil ke piche se kaha,

“kia faeda yaar?!”

Sunil: “are yaar kia pata ussko kuch kehna hai idhar aa”

Aur Sunil hatt gaya taake Ruhi Abhi ko dekh sake, ab donon aamne saamne the… Abhi ka chehra utra hua tha, aankhen sujh gaye, saaf dikh raha tha… Ruhi bahot udaas chehre se Abhi ke chehre mein dekhti rahi, phir Ruhi se dekha nah gaya, ussne aasmaan mein dekha, phir nazrein niche kar liya aur usske aansoo behne lage Abhi ke liye…. Abhi Ruhi ko nahin dekh paa raha tha agar dekhta rehta to khud rone lagta to Abhi ne chehre mudh liya, aur khud ko phir se Sunil ke piche kar liya tab dekha Ruhi ke taraf to dekha ke Ruhi ussko phir dhund rahi hai rote hue…..

Abhi ne sunil se pucha,

“main jaun uss se puchne ke ab kyun ro rahi hai jab mujhko thukda diya?!”

Sunil ne kaha,

“haan ja, ja Abhi aur thoda suna de ussko jaane se pehle”

Aur Abhi bus ke piche wale door se jump mara aur Ruhi ke paas pahuncha, Ruhi ne apna chehra dusri taraf mod liya jab dekha ke Abhi usske taraf badh raha hai….

Sirf koyi 3 minats mila Abhi ko Ruhi se baat karne ki kyunke tab tak Ruhi ki behen aur behnoy ne dekh liya ke Abhi Ruhi ke paas gaya hai to weh log badhne lage donon ke taraf aur Ruhi ki maa bhi aane lagi thi Abhi aur Ruhi ke taraf…… jo Abhi ne kiya uss waqt kissi ne bhi socha nahin tha ke wo sabke saamne open mein weisa karega… aur Ruhi ne bhi virodh nahin kiya aur Abhi ko karne diya jo wo karna chahta tha, magar sirf 3 minat mein sab hua…. Aisa laga ke jaise 3 seconds mein sab kuch ho gaya jaise ek pal mein sab hua….

Abhi ne pehle Ruhi ka haath thaama, wo ro rahi thi, bina kuch kahe Abhi ne Ruhi ke donon bazu ko usski bag sameth apne kaandhe par kiya, Ruhi ne apne baahon ko lapet liya Abhi ke kaandhe par aur Abhi ne ruhi se kaha,

“I want to hug you for a last time, don’t stop me please, send all others to hell, live this moment for me for a last time I beg of you Ruhi, if you ever loved me for one second don’t stop me….”

Ruhi roti gayi aur Abhi ne Ruhi ko zor se apne baahon mein jakra, aur bus se aur Ruhi ke family members se peeth kar liya Ruhi ko baahon mein jakre hue aur Ruhi ke thudi ko apne chehre ke taraf uthaya Abhi ne, uss pal ko Ruhi ne khudko completely samarpan kar diya Abhi ko aur apne aakhon ko band kar liya…. Ruhi ke aansoowon ne behte hue usski gaal par ek lakeer jaise khinch chuki thi, Abhi ne Ruhi ke honton par apna honth rakha aur donon ne ek dusre ko kiss kiya sare aam sabke saamne, yahan tak ke main road se koyi jaa raha tha to sab dekha hoga ke ek ladka aur ladki khada kiss kar rahe hein…..

Magar ek baat thi, buss mein se kissi ko wo kiss nazar nahin ayaa nah hi Ruhi ke kissi bhi parent ko kiss karte hue dikhe. Wo iss liye ke Abhi oonche kad ka tha aur ussne peeth kar liya tha unn sab logon se aur usska sar jhuka hua tha Ruhi ke chehre par buss piche se sirf aisa lag raha tha ke Abhi Ruhi ko baahon mein bhar ke hug kar raha hai…..

Kiss karte waqt Abhi ke munh mein Ruhi ke aansoo bhi jaa rahe the aur ussko namkeen taste ho raha tha aur Ruhi Abhi ke aanso taste kar rahi thi, donon ek dusre ke aansoo pee rahe the uss pal ko….Abhi ne unn sab ke paas aate hue kadmon ko sun raha tha to jaise jaise unn sab ke chalte hue kadam paas aane lage to Abhi ne kiss rok diya, aur sab saamne aaye to donon sirf ek dusre ke baahon meikn jakre hue the….

Jiss waqt Ruhi ka jeeb Abhi ke munh mein agaya tha, Ruhi ka rona stop ho gaya tha bilkool, aur wo Abhi ka kiss enjoy karne lagi thi aur ussne khud Abhi ko apne baahon mein bhar liya tha.

Magar jab Ruhi ki badi behen paas aagayi, aur Ruhi ki ma bhi paas aayi aur kaha,

“Ruhi tu itni besharam kaise ho sakti hai chorr ussko!”

Ruhi jaise kuch nahin sunn rahi thi, aur usske aankhon se phir aansoo behne lage to Abhi ne usske chehre mein dekhte hue dhire se kaha,

“This was your Christmas gift, you will remember this on ALL the next Christmas which will come in your life, and I know that you love me a lot but something is hindering you to accept my love… do not forget you will receive a new year card from me before the new year, I will no longer be here after today, its my last day here…. So please be back before 30th to receive my letter with the postman. I love you and will always do till the end of my life never forget that. Even if you get married to someone else my love for you will remain the same – even if I get married to someone else still my love for you will NEVER change, always remember this Ruhi. Farewell my love, don’t know if I will ever see you again, but I pray I do! Bye Ruhi”

Jab Abhi apna last, line bol raha tha usske aankkhon se thamne ka naam nahin le raha tha, abi ke honth thartharaa rahe the aur ruhi bhi jhar jhar behte aansoo se Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue ussko sun rahi thi…. Aur usski badi behen donon ke baahon ko ek dusre se chhurra rahi thi yeh kehte hue,

“chorro nah ek dusre ko dekho sab log dekh rahe hein kyun aise tamasha bana rahe ho tum donon!!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“kia film ki shooting chal rahi hai yahan?!”

Aur Ruhi boli… Abhi ne nahin socha tha ke wo kuch jawaab degi; Ruhi ne apne aankh ko ponchte hue apni maa ko ek teerchi nazar se dekhte hue kaha,

“haan shooting chal rahi thi, aap ne nahin dekha?!”

Tab tak donon ek dusre ke baahon se alag ho gaye the magar donon ek dusre ke nazron ki gehraayi mein dekh rahe the aur phir Ruhi ki aankhen bhar aayi aur kaampte hue honthon se Ruhi ne bilak bilak kar Abhi se kaha,

“Bye Abhi, merry Christmas and happy new year to you, and I am really very very sorry for you, my heart will cry for you Abhi bye I am going Abhi!!”

Ruhi bahot zor se rote hue chal kar main road ke taraf badhi aur Abhi wahin baith gaya zameen par rote hue apne chehre ko apne haath mein thaam kar, aur jab bhi Ruhi mudhkar Abhi ko dekhti to wo aur zor se roti gayi….

Abhi ko aisa feel ho raha tha ke Ruhi bhaag kar wapas usske paas aegi, Abhi soch raha tha ke kyun Ruhi weisa nahin kar rahi, Abhi last moment tak ek aas lagaaye baitha raha ke Ruhi wapas aegi, nahin jaegi apne behen ke saath…. Magar Abhi ne tab khud se kaha ke yeh kissi movie ki climax scene nahin hai jo Ruhi bhaag kar usske paas wapas aati, yeh hakikat tha, aur Ruhi bilkool wapas nahin aayi balke chali gayi bus mein apni behen ke saath, usske ghar jisska pata Abhi ko bilkool nahin tha….

Abhi ne tab socha ke jaan bujh kar usske ghar walon ne ussko kaahin aur bhej diya varna Ruhi tut jaati Abhi ke pyar mein, agar wo yaha rehti to Abhi ussko convince kar leta aur sabko mana leta haan karne ke liye…..

Abhi kaam nahin kar paa raha tha, ussne Saeed se kaha ke ussko rest lena hoga wo kamzor feel karne laga tha, to saeed ne ussko jaa kar bus ke andar ek seat par araam karne ko kaha.

Sunil ne pucha,

“Abhi usske pita ne ki kaha tumse? Tum uss se baat karne gaye the nah kuch der pehle?”

Abhi ne apne sar ko thaame hue dabe awaaz mein jawaab diya,

“Ruhi ko apne saath lekar jaega S.Arabia”

Sunil ne kaha,

“namumkin, nahin ho sakta, jhoot kaha uss ne tumse.”

Abhi:”mujhe pata hai sab jhoot kaha yaar, kal usski maa ne yeh sab kaha tha mujhe, issi liye kal mujhe nahin milne diya Ruhi ke baap se taake weh log ussko seekha sake ke ussko kia bolna hai mujhe. Matlab saaf hai ke mujhko inkaar karna tha so kar diya sab ne Ruhi ke ilawa!!! Agar Ruhi mujhse pyar nahin karti to abhi uss tarah se mujhse sabke saamne lipat kar nahin roti, mujhe kiss nahin karti open mein aise!”

Tab sunil ne kaha,

“Ek baat bolun bhai, yeh family aise hi hein, khaas kar Ruhi ki maa, mere time mein bhi usne yehi kiya tha, yahan se Ruhi ki behen ko bhej diya tha apni nani ke yahan, usska mangitar uss se wahan milne jata tha yahan nahin…. Ruhi ki maa kissi par bharosa nahin karti, ussko darr thi ke kahin main Ruhi ki behen ko uda na le jaun kabhi! Ab dekho ussne tumse Ruhi ko bhi alag kar diya, yahan se door kar diya taake tum ussko aur nah apne pyar mein jakar sako. Isska matlab saaf hai ke Ruhi tumse pyar karti hai aur ghar mein Ruhi ne awaaz uthaayi hogi aur kaha hoga ke wo tumse shaadi karegi issi liye usski maa ne usko yahan se hatta diya!”

Baithe baithe Abhi Ruhi ko yaad karte hue phir rone laga…. Saeed ne aur baaki ke logon ne dekha, sab udaas the, sabko khush hona chahiye ta kyunke aakhri din tha kaam par, sab Khushi ke saath finish karna tha magar Abhi ke rone se, aur Ruhi ke chale jaane se ek maatam jaisa chhah gaya tha wahan….. jiss din se uss bus mein kaam shuru hua uss din se Abhi Ruhi ki love story shuru hui…. Jaise jaise bus banta gaya weise weise Abhi Ruhi ka pyar badhta gaya bus ke saath… hona yeh chahiye the ke jab bus ban gayi tab Abhi aur Ruhi ki mangni ya shaadi honi chahiye the matlab donon ka pyar official hona chahiye tha – yeh Abhi ne aisa hi likha tha apne diary mein.

Saeed ne Abhi ko phir rote suna to kaha, “Abhi phir se? are ruk ja dekh sab log tumko dekh rahe rahe hein, idhar aa meri madad kar issko fix karne mein… yaar aaj bhi late raat tak kaam karna hai kia, chal aa khatam karte hein nah!”

Mehboob ne kaha,

“are mujhe nahin pata tha tu to bada rotlu nikla Abhi, main tujhe mard samajhta tha!”

Abhi ko Mehboob se nafrat ho gaya tha jab se Ruhi ne ussko bataya tha ke wo usske pyar ke khilaaf hai, to Mehboob ko Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“kyun mard ko dard nahin hota? Mard ke aansoo nahin hote to ankhen fodh dena chahiye bina aansoo ke aankh hein to!!”

Ruhi chali gayi, Abhi ki khushiyon ko apne saath lekar, aur chorr gayi thi Abhi ke liye, dard, udaasi, gham, tanhaayi, akelapan, aur aansoo.

Abhi ko kaam jaari rakhna tha aur asaan nahin tha usske liye uss haal mein kaam karna, uss haalaat ko face karna…. Abhi ne khud ko bahot mushkilon se sambhaalte hue apne kaam mein dhyan diya, kaam karna shuru to kiya magar reh reh kar Ruhi ki yaadon mein chalajata aur achanak se ro padhta…. Ussne uss din ko achanak yaad kiya jiss din Ruhi ke chaati mein apne sar daalkar usski khushbhoo sungh raha tha, ab bhi ussko Ruhi ki wo khushbhoo mehek rahe the… hamara zehen bhi ajib o gharib computer hai jo sab apne memory mein save rakhta hai yahan tak ke ek khushbhoo jo kitne din piche naak se sungh kar zehen mein gaya tha aaj bhi yaad karne se wo khushbhoo yaad ata hai…. Sirf Ruhi ki jism ki uss khushbhoo ko yaad karke Abhi ro baitha…. Phir sambhala khudko aur kaam karne laga…..

Ruhi ki maa ko afsos ho raha tha Abhi ke liye. Wo abhi ko kaafi der se dekh rahi thi, aur wo khud emotional ho gayi thi Abhi ko dekh kar aur usske dard ko samajh kar…. wo jaanti thi ke Abhi iss waqt kiss dard se guzar raha hoga…..

Shaam ke 6 baj chuke the, kaam jaari tha, Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se pucha,

“Naaraaz ho?

Abhi ne kaha,

“bilkool nahin, udaas hoon haan, ghum mein dooba hua hoon haan magar naraz nahin hoon”

Aur Ruhi ki maa ne kuch aise baatein kahe Abhi se jiss se Abhi ko thoda sukoon mila, ussko ek umeed ki kiran phir se dikhaayi diye…

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Hum ne khaas kar iss liye aap ki proposal ko accept nahin kiya kyun ke aap jo kaam kar rahe ho yeh permanent kaam nahin hai, yeh kaam aaj hai to kal nahin, aaj yahan se kaam end hoga to kia karoge? Jab tak dusra kaam nahin milta bekaar rahoge nah? issi liye! Mere cousins aur nephews hein jo yeh kaam karte hein aur aksar bekaar rehte hein, unemployed hein, mujhe apni Ruhi ki fikar hai Abhi.”

Abhi ne heirat se ussko dekha aur kaha,

“Oh my God! Yehi vajah thi ki aap ne accept nahin kiya?”

Ruhi ki maa: “haan Abhi buss issi liye”

Abhi ke dimaagh mein kuch chal raha tha uss waqt aur ussne pucha,

“Aur agar main kal koyi aur behtar kaam kar raha hunga tab?!”

Ruhi ki maa: “dekho Abhi, kal ko agar tum koyi behtar kaam kar rahe ho aur tab tak Ruhi ki shadi nahin hui hogi tab hum zaroor consider karenge tumhare proposal ko!”

Abhi ko bahot araam mila aur pucha,

“Ruhi aaj wapas nahin aegi?”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Nahin wo apne chacha ke ghar rahegi aur supermarket mein help karegi kyunke tumko pata hi hoga ke sheher mein kitne bhidh baadh hote hein Christmas aur new year ke mauke par, late night shopping hote hein to kaam bahut ziada hote hein to Ruhi help karegi apne chacha ko, Manoj bhi wahin kaam karta hai nah har roz…”

Abhi ne yaad kiya ke haan ek baar Manoj ne usse bataya tha ke wo ek supermarket mein kaam karta hai, ek chhota sa self service tha naam tha supermarket.

To Abhi ne pucha,

“To Ruhi kab ghar wapas aegi ab?”

Jawaab diya usski maa ne,

“Sunday ko aegi, magar New Year ko wahin rahegi shayad.”

Abhi ne tab pucha,

“Aur wo supermarket kidhar hai exactly?”

Ruhi ki maa ne exact address de diya ke Royal cinema ke paas hai….

Ab wo sheher Abhi ke ghar se ziada door nahin tha aur Abhi udhar aksar jata tha aur ussko exactly pata tha royal cinema kahan hai kyunke uss cinema hall mein Abhi kayi baar movie dekhne gaya hai, Abhi uss jagah ko bahot achhi tarah pehchaanta tha…

Abhi ne socha ke kyun Ruhi ki maa ne ussko saare information de diye Ruhi ke baare mein ke kahan reh rahi hai, kahan supermarket hai, matlab wo chahti hai ke abhi uss se udhar milne jaaye…. Jab usski beti aur Abhi milkar rone lage the to uss se dekha nah gaya aur shayad ab pachta rahi thi donon ko juda karke aur ab chahhti thi ke Abhi uss se udhar jaa kar mile….

Abhi bahot khush hua aur ab relax feel karne laga tha. To phir Abhi ab normal kaam karne laga.

Aaj bhi kal raat ki tarah Mehboob ke ghar dinner kiya gaya. Abhi kitna chahta tha ke Ruhi wahan hoti, kal bhi raat ko dinner kiye the sab to Ruhi nahin thi aur aaj bhi nahin hai….

Jab Abhi washroom jaa raha tha wash karne dinner se pehle to Mahesh ne Abhi ko awaaz diya,

“hey Abhi?!”

Abhi ne mudhkar dekha to Mahesh ne kaha,

“udhar andhera hai idhar aao hamare kitchen ke basin ke paas haath dho lo”

Magar Abhi ne kaha ke thik hai chalta hai, par Mahesh ne zid kiya ke wo wahan aakar haath dhoe… to Abhi gaya Ruhi ki kitchen mein aaj dusri baar gaya tha, magar aaj Ruhi ke bina gaya tha wahan… basin ke paas saboon se apne haath dhoya Abhi ne, aur khayaalon mein sochne laga ke kitne baar ussne Ruhi ko uss basin ke paas bartan dhote hue dekha hai… kitna khush hota wo agar aaj Ruhi yahin hoti, to kitni khush wo bhi hoti Abhi ko apne kitchen mein ek baar aur dekh kar….

Haath dhone ke baad Abhi ne uss table ko kiss kiya aur table se baat kiya, ek sandesha chorra Abhi ne uss table se ke wo Ruhi ko bata de ke Abhi aya tha idhar aur ussko kiss send kiya hai.

Dinner ke baad kaam chalu raha aur Abhi Ruhi ko bahot miss karne laga…. Raton mein iskh ka bhoot ziada chadhta hai, kal raat bhi Ruhi nahin thi aaj bhi nahin aur Abhi par ishk ka bhoot sawaar tha…tadap raha tha wo Ruhi ko yaad karte hue….

Jab se Abhi Christmas eve ki night celebrate karna shuru kiya hai doston ke beech aaj pehli baar tha ke iss raat ko Abhi kaam kar raha tha jiss waqt ussko sheher mein ghumna, mauj masti karna chahiye tha…. aur Abhi ne socha iss waqt Ruhi supermarket mein hogi kyunke late night shopping hota tha iss raat ko….

Raat ko 12 baje kaam finish hua… bus COMPLETE HO GAYA… aur start kiya gaya aur khud Mehboob ne drive kiya… George saath tha, sunil, aur baaki ke sab saath the bus mein….

Abhi ne Rahima ke paas ek message chorra Ruhi ke liye, Abhi ne Rahima se kaha,

“pleae Ruhi ko mera sandesha pahucha dena, kehna ke main ne ussko merry xmas wish kiya aur kehna ke jaise ke ussne mujhe kaha main bahot patience rakhunga”

Manoj wapas agaya tha kaam se, aur wo bhi bus mein aya. Abhi ko aur 40 bus ke photos diye…., Abhi ne ussko pay kiya… Aur road par bus ki kayi aur photos liya ussne jo Abhi ko baad mein dega ussne kaha.

Mehboob khud drive karte hue Abhi ke team ko wapas ghar chorrne ja raha tha, bus almost bhara hua tha, bus mein Rahima, Farzina, Reza, sunil, George, sunil ka assistant, Manoj, Mahesh, George ka apprentice, aur Reza ke behnein bhare hue the Sirf Ruhi ki kami thi bus mein…. Kamaal hai Abhi ne socha, agar aaj wo hoti to wo bhi saath baithti Abhi ke saath bus mein wahan se 40 kms tak drive karte hue Abhi ke ghar tak jaati aur Abhi ka ghar bhi dekh leti….. magar afsos!

Jab bus Abhi ke ghar ke saamne ruka to Mehboob aur Reza ne kaha

“Achah to Abhi yahan rehta hai wo raha usska ghar… hmmm!!”

Subha ke 1 baj chuka tha jab Abhi ne apna diary khola aur likhna shuru kiya….. phir sone gaya to usska takiya bheeg gaya itna wo ro raha tha Ruhi ko sochte hue ……

To be continued….. (5700 words from both updates)

Update 39 Christmas Day And After​

Subha 6 baje Abhi ki neend tut gayi aur wo bechain feel kar raha tha. Ussne apne diary liya aur beete dinon ko padhne laga jo ussne Ruhi ki aangan mein guzare the. Abhi ne apne diary ko aaj lock kiya apne drawer mein.

Baad mein Abhi gaya apne close ke sheher aur ghar mein sabke liye gifts kharida aur wapas ghar aakar sabko gifts diya to Naina aur Abhi ki maa ne sab bataane ko kaha ke kia hua Ruhi ke saath kal. Abhi nahin batana chahta tha aur apni diary ko lock kar diya tha apne drawer mein to Naina ne nahin padha tha.

Aakhir mein Abhi ne ne sab bataya apni maa aur Naina ko. To naina ne ussko uss sheher mein jaane ko kaha jahan Ruhi ke chacha ka supermarket tha.

Aur haan Abhi gaya….. Uss sheher mein Abhi ne bahot waqt guzaare the doston ke saath aur wahan ke tamaan jagahon ko pehchaanta tha iss liye ussko dhundne mein bilkool time nahin laga Ruhi ke chacha ka supermarket ko.

Andar gaya uss se mila. Wo tha Ganpat. Abhi ne pucha kia wo Manoj ka chacha hai, to ussne haan kaha aur donon ne koyi 10 minat tak baat kiye. Kyunke Abhi ne Manoj, Mahesh, Ruhi ka naam lete hue baat kiya to chacha samajh gaya ke wo sabhi ko jaanta hai so uss ne khul kar baat kiya Abhi se.

Abhi ne uss se pucha ke wo akele kyun hai, aur worker hone chahiye the to ussne jawaab diya ke public holiday hai, to aaj ziada kaam nahin hai, kal raat ko bahot bhid tha to Manoj aur usski behen usske saath the raat ko barah baje tak…..

Abhi wapas ghar agaya kyunke wahan Ruhi nahin dikhi. Ussko jagah ka pata to chal gaya ab kabhi bhi jaa sakta hai ussne soch liya tha.

Ghar par Abhi sirf Ruhi ki yaadon mein khoya raha din bhar, unn haseen lamhon ko soch raha tha jo ussne Ruhi ke saath bitaaye the…. Ruhi ki yaadein chorr hi nahin raha tha ussko bilkool.

Ruhi ki muskurahat, usski Abhi ka jeeb se chedhna, usski awaaz sab Abhi ko yaad arahe the… laakh koshish ke baad bhi usske dimaagh se wo hatt hi nahin rahe the…

Pichle der mahinon tak lagataar kaam karne gaya tha Abhi, ek din bhi rest nahin kiya tha, bahot thakaan tha to din mein bed par rest kar raha tha ke aankh lag gayi aur 6 ghante tak sota raha, aur raat ke 8 baje sokar utha…. Sapnon mein Ruhi ko dekha.

Dekha ke Ruhi ussko bula rahi hai, muskura rahi hai aur keh rahi ke ke kyun ussko akeli chorr kar chala gaya Abhi. Ruhi phir rone lagi aur apni maa ke seene se lag kar keh rahi hai ke Abhi ne ussko chorr diya, uss se Abhi ko wapas bulaane ko keh rahi hai rote hue….

Abhi ne socha kia pata sach mein Ruhi ussko yaad kar rahi hogi aur chah rahi hogi ke Abhi wapas uss se milne aaye….

Abhi ne soch liya ke kal phir jaega Wahan uss supermarket mein Ruhi se milne, ya iss baar puchne ke Ruhi kidhar hai…. Uss se milna hai usse….

Abhi ne likha apne diary mein….

“I ask myself how to forget her? How to forget those days, those moments? The words she spoke, her laughs, her voice, her tears, her behaviour….. She is a part of me now. How to forget a part of myself? It’s impossible. I CAN’T. I CAN’T. I am suffering. My heart is aching, it’s torn to pieces. I want to see her, to talk to her, to hold her in my arms, to smell her. I want to see her smile, I want to see her laughs, to hear her sweet voice, to see her pretty face… oh God help me please….”

Aur dusre din ko Abhi phir gaya uss supermarket ke taraf…. Magar jaane se pehle Abhi ne uss kitab ko liya jo Ruhi ne ussko wapas kiya tha kal… kitab ke pannon ko aise hi palatte hue Abhi ko ek chota sa kagaz ka tudka mila jiss par Ruhi ne kuch likha tha….

Always Sincere love are memorable

But don’t know why fate does not want me to be

In the end I always lose. signed -R.N.

Abhi ke naam par likha tha Ruhi ne. Ussko padh kar Abhi bahot khush hua kuch pal ke liye; magar turant baad Ruhi ko bahot miss karne laga, uss se milne ke liye Abhi machal gaya aur jaane ke liye tayaar hua…. Radio par yeh gana baj raha tha jo Abhi ke situation ko suit kar raha tha,

“Har subha bahot yaad ata hai

Har shaam bahot yaad ata hai

Koyi naam, koyi naam, koyi naam

Bahot yaad ata hai….”

Abhi tayaar hua aur dil mein Ruhi ko basaaye; gaya uss sheher mein.

Supermarket ke paas reach hua to baahar se hi Abhi ne dekha ke Manoj newspaper padh raha hai, aur usska baap bhi wahan baitha hua hai…. Magar Ruhi wahan nahin thi…. Abhi andar nahin gaya, baahar se hi mudh gaya…. Aur aise hi sheher mein ghumta raha ghanton bhar iss umeed se ke kia pata Ruhi dikh jaaye ussko….

Koyi ek ghante baad Abhi wapas gaya supermarket ke paas aur ek aurat dikha counter ke uss taraf wahan…. Abhi andar ghussa aur uss aurat se pucha,

“kia aap Manoj ki chachi ho?!”

Uss aurat ne kaha, haan wohi Manoj ki chachi matlab Ganpat ki wife hai…

To Abhi ne uss se Ruhi ke baare mein pucha, to ussne kaha ke haan Ruhi ussi ke ghar reh rahi hai magar Abhi kyun wo sab puch raha hai uss aurat ne pucha… Aur Abhi ko sab kuch batana para….

Abhi ne jab sab kuch usske aur Ruhi ke baare mein bata diya to sandesha bheja Ruhi ke liye usski chachi se, kaha ke Ruhi se keh dena mujhe ussko dekhne ki bahot tamanna thi isi liye idhar aya hoon….. itna keh hi raha tha ke Manoj daakhil hua andar Shweta ke saath…. Shweta ussi aurat ki beti thi matlab wohi Ganpat chacha tha jisski beti Shweta hai, aur Manoj ne Abhi ko usski chachi se Ruhi ke baare mein baat karte hue sunkar muskuraya apni chachi ke taraf dekh kar, aur Shweta ne zor se wohi, “Abbhhhiiiiiiii” kehte hue Abhi ke gale mein jhul gayi aur usski maa dekhti reh gayi…

Shweta ki maa ne kaha,

“Shweta tum kaise jaante ho issko?!”

Shweta: “Mummy yeh wahan kaam karta tha nah, jahan Ruhi rehti hai, to main mila tha Abhi se mera friend hai Abhi”

Jiss nazar se Ruhi ki chachi dekh rahi thi Abhi ko laga ke ussko passand nahin araha tha ke Abhi ne usski beti ko liya hua hai to Abhi ne Shweta ko niche utaar diya, aur ussko ek kissy dekar jaane laga to Shweta ne kaha,

“Abhi main new year ko wahan aungi tab aap se milungi wahan….”

Abhi ke aankhen bhar aaye aur mudhkar Shweta se kaha,

“Baby ab main tumko wahan nahin dikhunga kabhi bhi!”

Shweta bechari kia samjhegi ke bus ka kaam khatam ho gaya to Abhi ka wahan jana bhi khatam hua….

Shweta ne pucha,

“kyun? New year ko aap wahan nahin aoge Ruhi di se nahin miloge aap New Year ko?”

Abhi nah mein sar hillate hue nikal gaya wahan se…. aur aansoo ponchte hue gaya bus lene, ghar wapas jaane ko.

Abhi ne address pucha tha Ruhi ki chachi ki to sirf ek road ka naam diya tha ussne Abhi ko. Abhi ke liye wo kaafi tha kyunke wo uss road ko jaanta tha ke kidhar hai, aur Abhi ne soch liya tha ke uss road mein jab Ganpat Nunhuck ko talaash karega to logon se pata chal jaega ke usska ghar kidhar hai aur wo Ruhi se mil paega.

Dusre din subha ko, Abhi ne sabse pehle apne penfriends ke khaton ka reply likha, pichle der mahine se ussne kissi ko koyi jawaab nahin diya tha, France ki Pascale aur Scotland ki Jennifer ko reply likha ussne, aur local ke do ladkiyon ko bhi reply kiya Abhi ne aur gaya post office letters ko post karne.

Tab Abhi gaya Ruhi ki talaash karne uss sheher ki uss road mein jo Ruhi ki chachi ne bataayi thi Abhi ko. Pehle Abhi gaya supermarket ke paas aur baahhar se Manoj aur usske chacha ko dekha andar, kuch der wait kiya ke kahin Ruhi idhar udhar to nahin hai, aadhe ghante tak wait karne ke baad jab Ruhi nahin dikhi to uss road mein gaya Abhi dhundne Ruhi ke chacha ke ghar ko.

Jiss road ka naam kal Usski chachi ne diya tha wo road 5 kilometres ki lambaayi thi, ab uss mein kiss taraf wo ghar tha wo dhundna asaan kaam nahin tha magar Abhi ne thaan liya tha to shuru kiya ussne road ke start se ek ek kar ke logon se puchta gaya ke Ganputh Nunhuck ka ghar kidhar hai….. kissi ko pata nahin tha….. shaam ke 1 baje se shaam 6 baje tak Abhi ne pura road paidal chal kar puch liya magar kissi ko nahin pata tha ke koyi Anirud Nunhuck naam ka rehta tha udhar…. 6 ghanton tak chalte chalte Abhi ke peyron mein dard ho gaye the, wo bilkool mayus ho gaya tha aur samajh gaya ke uss aurat ne jhoot bola hoga uss se….. ab itni badi sheher mein kidhar rehte honge wo log Abhi ko kaise pata chalta?...

Thaka haara Abhi ghar wapas pahuncha bina kissi result ke…..

Diary mein likha ke apni life mein aaj pehli baar Abhi ne 5 ghanton tak chal kar kissi ki ghar ko dhunda aur ghar mila hi nahin…. Ruhi ki yaad ussko satata gaya…

Agle din Sunday tha aur Abhi gaya supermarket mein aur khud Ruhi ke chacha se mila aur pucha ke wo rehta kidhar hai, aur ussne ek dusre road ka naam diya!! Abhi dang reh gaya…. Usski wife ne jhoot bola tha Abhi se.

Ab jiss road ka naam Ruhi ke chacha ne diya uss road mein Abhi ka ek purana dost rehta tha to Abhi gaya direct uss dost ke ghar aur pucha ke kia wo uss supermarket ki owner ka ghar janta hai jisski wife ek nurse hai…. Dost ne kaha haan usske ghar se 5 ghar ki doorie par tha usska ghar, matlab Ganputh Nunhuck ka ghar.

Abhi ne ek lambi saanss chorra aur uss dost ne chal kar Abhi ko chorra Ruhi ke chachi ke ghar ke saamne.

Abhi gaya aur darwaza khatkhathaya. Bada ghar tha full concrete ka aur 2 manzilon wala tha.

Abhi dil hi dil mein soch raha tha ke kitna achha hota ke Ruhi ki chachi iss waqt hospital gayi hogi, aur Ruhi aur Shweta akeli hogi ghar mein to Abhi kitna haseen time guzarega Ruhi ke saath, Abhi ne soch liya ke aaj to mauka nahin miss karega wo Ruhi ko bed par zaroor leytayega tab koyi ussko Ruhi ke saath shaadi karne se nahin rok paega…. Tarah tarah ke khayal arahe the Abhi ke dimaagh mein… ussne yeh bhi socha ke Ruhi ko agar ussne pregnant kar diya to majbooran usske parents ko accept karna padega donon ke shaadi karaane ke liye..

Abhi sochne laga ke jiss raat ko wo Ruhi ke ghar thehra tha aur Ruhi usske saath sex karna chahti thi to ussi raat ko Abhi ko Ruhi ko pregnant kar dena chahiye tha, to aaj koyi donon ko alag karne ka sochta bhi nahin…. Abhi pachta raha tha ke kyun ussne uss raat ko kuch nahin kiya tha Ruhi ke saath..

Teen baar darwaza khatkhatane par koyi nahin aya kholne to Abhi ek do kadam chal kar ghar ke dusri taraf dekhne laga ke Abhi ne kissi ko ghar ke andar chalte hue dekha, to wo phir gaya darwaze ke paas aur khatkhataya, to Ruhi ki chachi badi heyraani se Abhi ko dekhte hue darwaza ko unlock kiya aur kaha,

“Ji? Aap mere ghar tak agaye? Aap ko kaise pata chala main yahan rehti hoon?”

Wo Abhi ko ajeeb nazron se dekh rahi thi, ussko bilkool passand nahin tha ke Abhi usske yahan aa pahuncha hai.

Abhi baahar hi khada tha aur Abhi ne bolte hue ro diye tab shayad uss aurat ka dil pighla aur Abhi ko andar aane ko kaha….

Andar jaate hi Abhi ne Shweta ko stairs se niche utarte hue dekha aur wo jaldi se aakar Abhi ke gale mein jhul gayi firse, Abhi ke gaalon par kissy karte hue…. Shweta ki maa ne Abhi ko baithne ko kaha, Abhi sofe par baitha aur Shweta usske goad mein baithi.

Ruhi ki chachi ne ab muskuraate hue kaha,

“Shweta itna ghul mil gayi hai aap se kuch dinon ko wahan rehne gayi to? Bahot pyar karti hai aap se, jaise aap ki koyi rishtedar ya beti hai…. Mujhe taahjub hai kyunke yeh kissi se aise nahin ghulti milti hai bahot reserve hai yeh bachi kia jadoo kiya aap ne meri beti par?!”

Abhi ne seedha sawaal kiya,

“Aap Ruhi ko bulaayiye nah please!”

Chachi ne kaha,

“Wo to kal hi ghar wapas gayi, aap ek din late aaye ho.!”

Abhi ne ek haath se apne sar ko thaama aur ek lambi saans baahar chorra…. Aur ussne Shweta se pucha,

“chali gayi Ruhi sach?!”

Shweta ne kuch aisa expression diya jiss se Abhi ko laga ke Ruhi wahin thi kissi kamre mein aur chachi ne ussko baahar aane se mana kiya. Jab Abhi ne Shweta se pucha ke kia Ruhi sach mein chali gayi to Shweta ne nah haan kaha na nah, ussne Abhi ko dekha turant baad apni maa ke chehre mein dekha…. Iss liye Abhi ko thoda yakeen sa tha ke Ruhi wahin hai andar kissi kamre mein.

Magar Abhi ki jurat nahin thi ke wo kissi ajnabee ke ghar mein aya hai to ab usske ghar ke Kamron ko khol kar check kare ke Ruhi wahan hai ya nahin, aisa to nahin kar sakta tha nah Abhi.

Aur Ruhi ki chachi ne araam se pucha,

“Acha batao Abhi….. errrr Abhi naam hai nah aap ka?”

Abhi: “ji Abhinav naam hai sab Abhi hi bulaate hein, Ruhi bhi, Shweta bhi!”

Chachi muskuraayi, aur kaha,

“Okay thik hai Abhi aap mujhe sab kuch detail mein bataiye, shaayad main aap ki koyi madad kar sakun.”

Abhi ne bolna shuru kiya aur bolte bolte rone laga, khud ke aansowon ko rokna naamumkn tha…. chachi ji pighal gayi aur apni taraf se jo batana tha wo bataane lagi, magar bich mein Shweta ne Abhi ke aansoo ko poncha aur pucha ke kyun ro raha hai to Abhi ne shweta ko seene se laga kar kaha ke jab wo Ruhi ke yahan jaegi new Year ko to Ruhi ko bataaye ke wo Shweta ke ghar aya tha ussko dhudne aur Ruhi ko batana ke Abhi usske ghar Ruhi ke liye ro raha tha.

Tab chachi ne kaha, ke Shweta sach mein sab kuch bak degi Ruhi ke ghar jaa kar to Abhi ne kaha acha hi hoga agar Shweta ne wahan jaakar sab kuch bata diya to, Abhi wohi chahta tha.

Tab chachi ji ne Abhi ko bataya ke wo France wala ladke ki baat sach hai magar Ruhi ne ussko kabhi dekha hi nahin aur mili bhi nahin kabhi uss se, uss ladke ne Ruhi ko apni nani ke yahan ek baar dekha tha jab vacation ke liye apne ghar aya tha ek mahine ke liye, fir wapas France jaane ke baad uss ladke ne ape ghar khabar bheja ke Ruhi ke nani ke ghar jaakar bata dein ke Ruhi ko usske liye rakhein kyunke jab wo wapas aega to Ruhi ka haath mangne jaega…. Buss itna hi hua tha kuch ziada nahin…

To Abhi ne kaha ke shayad issi liye jab Ruhi ka baap aya to sab usske nani ke ghar gaye the uss ladke ke bare mein puchne ke kia wo serious hai ya nahin kyunke yahan Abhi usska haath mang raha hai aur agar uss ladke ne haan kaha hoga to Ruhi ko France jana behtar laga hoga to usska intezar karna ziada passand kiya hoga kia?

Chachi ne kaha ke nahin sach mein nani bimaar hai issi liye ussko sab dekhne gaye the kahin budhiya tapak nah jaaye!

Chachi ne pucha,

“To jo kuch aap ne mujhe bataya iss se yeh samajh rahi hoon ke weh log samajhte ho ke aap gharib ho, aur Ruhi aap ek saath khush nahin reh paegi….?”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“Main gharib family se hoon magar hum utna gharib bhi nahin ke ek shaadi ka kharcha nah utha sake ya ek Dulhan ko afford nah kar sake…. Ruhi ki maa kia samajhti hai ke main bhikari hoon kia? Mera ghar concrete ka hai usska ghar tin aur lakdi ka to kiss ki heysiyat kitni hui? Mere papa ke zameen hein jiss par ganne ke khet hein jab wo batwara karega to uss mein se mera hissa hoga jahan apna khud ka ghar bana paunga ek din… to main gharib kaise hua?”

Chachi ne tab kaha,

“Abhi to main aap ko advice karti hoon ke aap jao wahan, jo kuch aap ne mujhe bataya jaakar Ruhi ke papa ko batao. Ho sakta hai ke wo samajh rahe hein ke aap Ruhi ko khush nahin rakh paoge, jaakar batao ke aap ke papa ke khet hein, zameen hein aap ko hissa milega, unnko Khushi hogi, kyunke aap ke paas to zameen hein unnke paas to kuch bhi nahin apne bete betiyon ko dene ke liye to ap unn se bahot ziada behtar hue… aur aap se ek baat kehti hoon aap wahan kissi se kehna mat, RUHI KI MAA EK BAHOT LAALCHI AURAT HAI – Ussne hamesha paisa chaha hai ziada issi liye apne pati ko S. Arabia jaakar paisa kamaane ko kaha… shayad issi liye Ruhi ko France bhejna chahti hai usske liye sab araam dhanwalon ke paas hote hein usski buss chale to apni beti ke liye raja maharajawon ke rishte talaash kare wo… Ruhi agar aap se pyar karti hai to sirf usski maa hai jo aap ko Ruhi se alag kar rahi hai….”

Abhi khamosh suntaraha aur socha yeh do sister-in-laws ke jhamele mein kahan phanss gaya wo, samajh gaya ke donon sister in laws ke nahin bante honge. Phir chachi ji ne kaha,

“Abhi iss se pehle ke Ruhi ke papa wapas Arabia chala jaaye aap jaa kar uss se mil lo, wo January mein wapas jaa rahe hein.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“haan last day ko Khud Ruhi ke papa aur usski maa ne mujhse kaha ke Wo Ruhi ko apne saath lekar S.Arabia jaa rahe hein?!”

Chachi: “kiss ne aap se yeh baat pehle kaha? Pakka Ruhi ki maa ne kaha hoga han ya nah?!”

Abhi: “haan”

Chachi: “Aur kitne der baad yehi baat Ruhi ke papa ne aap se kaha?”

Abhi: “takriban 3 ghante baad”

Chachi: “Dekha nah? samajh gaye honge aap ke Ruhi ki maa sab control karti hai uss ghar mein, sabko wo chalaati hai, laalchi aurat hai, Ruhi ke papa ek bahot acha insaan hai, itna cool and khamosh type aadmi hai ke usski wife ussko control karti hai, uss ghar mein husband Ruhi ki maa hai aur wife hai Ruhi ke pita!”

Abhi:”wo to mujhe jiss din Ruhi ke papa aaye tabhi mujhe dikh gaya tha, kyunke wo henpeck husband laga mujhe kyunke wo wohi kehta aur karta jo Ruhi ki maa kehti thi.”

Chachi:”To samajh gaye aap ke Ruhi kabhi bhi apne pita ke saath nahin jaa rahi hai, ek baat batati hoon, ke Ruhi ke papa ne bahot pehle keh diya tha ke usski koyi bhi beti kabhi bhi desh ke baahar nahin jayenge, ussko bilkool nahin passand yeh, to yeh France wali baat bhi main jaanti hoon nahin badhne wali, iss liye aap ka chance bahot ziada hai kyunke aap yahin ka ho aur usske pita ko passand hai ke usske betiyan yahin rahe taake jab bhi weh chahe aapne maa baap se mil sake.”

Abhi ko yeh sunkar bahot achcha laga ke usska chances behtar aur ziada hai uss France wale Amit se!

Chachi ne phir kaha,

“Abhi aap milo Ruhi ke maa baap se aur kaho ke aap ke ghar dekhne aaye, sagaayi ya rishte ke liye nah sahi kehdo ke aise hi ek baar aaye aap ke ghar tab wapas apne ghar jaa kar decide karen ke aap usski beti ke liye sahi ho ya nahin!”

Abhi ne kaha ussko wohi karna hoga ab.

Thanks kiya chachi ko aur Shweta ko baahon mein bharke kissy kiye Abhi ne aur bye kiya donon ko Abhi.

Jab Abhi nikalne laga to chachi ne last line kaha apni,

“Aap ek sache lover ho Abhi, main ne aap ko ghalat address diya tha phir bhi aap ne sahi address ka pata laga liya aur chale aaye Ruhi ko yahan dhunte hue, yeh jaan kar mujhe pura yakeen ho gaya ke aap Ruhi ko kitna pyar karte ho aur wo aap ke saath jiwan bhar khush rahegi – yeh baat main khud Ruhi ke papa se kahungi, usski maa ko bhi bataungi yeh baat ke aap sahi ladka ho Ruhi ke liye, I will support you Abhi – agar aaj Ruhi nahin gayi hoti to main aap donon ko mila deti aaj hi. Main Ruhi se bhi baat karungi Abhi don’t worry. And I regret ke main ne ap ko uss din ghalat address diya dar assal wo meri maa ki address wahan main rehti thi shaadi se pehle, agar uss din sahi address diya hota to Friday ko aap Ruhi se yahin mil paate…. Very sorry Abhi but I am with you.”

Ruhi ki chachi se milke aur tamaam baton par ghaur karke Abhi ko bahot achcha laga aur ussko ek umeed ki kiran phir nazar aya, aur iss baar bahot strong feeling hua Abhi ko ke iss baar sab thik ho jaega usske aur Ruhi ke beech.

Kyunke Abhi ne last letter mein aur zubaani bhi keh diya tha Ruhi se ke wo ussko 31st December se pehle ek aur khat post karega, to ab soch liya ke ussi letter mein Ruhi ko yeh sab batayega ke wo usske ghar aega usske papa aur uss se milne.

To be continued…. (3812 words)

Update 40 Abhi Writes And Post A Letter To Ruhi​

Kyunke Abhi ne last letter mein aur zubaani bhi keh diya tha Ruhi se ke wo ussko 31st December se pehle ek aur khat post karega, to ab soch liya ke ussi letter mein Ruhi ko yeh sab batayega ke wo usske ghar aega usske papa aur uss se milne.

Ab aaguey….

Abhi subha 8 baje chala gaya apne ilake ke post office Ruhi ki New Year wishing card ke saath wo letter post karne jo usske raat ko likha. 9 pages letter likha tha Abhi ne. Yeh usska teesra khat tha Ruhi ko jo post karne jaa raha tha, 1 ussko haath mein diya tha, dusra postman ne usske aankhon ke saamne Ruhi ko deliver kiya tha aur aaj third letter jaa raha tha Ruhi ke yahan Abhi ke taraf se.

Ab kyunke Abhi ki aadat thi penfriends ko likhna aur post karna to ussko pata tha ke post office ke working system kaisa tha. Ek EXPRESS delivery hoti thi jo subha 8 baje post kar dena chahiye hota tha, aur usske liye paise ziada lagte the, issi liye abhi 8 baje pahunch gaya tha post office aur Ruhi ki khat ko register karwaya as an Express letter jo issi din ko at latest 3 baje deliver ho jaega.

Ghar wapas gaya aur sochne laga kia hoga agar wo khat kissi aur ke haath lagega? To kuch decide kiya Abhi ne. Abhi gaya wahan ek taxi se. Pehle ussne post office jaakar information nikaale ke kahan kahan se wo Express delivery wala van guzar kar Ruhi ke ilake ke post office reach hoga…. Postman wale abhi ko pehchaante the kynke ussko aadat thi wahan hamesha se apne penfriends ke liye letter post karne ki to unn mein ek jawan ladki thi jo Abhi ko penfriendship posting ke liye appreciate karti thi kyunke ussne Abhi se kayi baar pucha tha ke aap ke kitne penfriends hein ke aap itne saare letter aksar post karne aate ho…. to Abhi ne ussi ladki se saare informations nikalwaaye ke express deliveray wala van kahan kahan se guzrega aur kitne baje Ruhi ke ilaake pahunchega… saare information mil gaye to Abhi khush hua aur ek taxi se uss express delivery van ko follow kiya Abhi ne… jiss jiss ilake ke post office ko wo van ruka courier deliver karne ke liye wahan wahan Abhi ne taxi ko rok kar dekha…. Aur jab Ruhi ke ilake ki post office mein delivery hui to Abhi ne taxi ko rukne ko kaha aur jab wahan se postman Ruhi ki letter lekar nikla 3.15 ko to Abhi ne taxi ko uss filling station par park hone ko kaha aur khud piche ke seat par baith kar Abhi ne dekha ke kaun aega Ruhi ki khat lene…. Aur itne dinon ke baad 5 din baad, (magar Abhi ko laga ke 5 saal baad aya tha wahan) Abhi ko Ruhi nazar aayi postman se apna khat lete hue Ruhi apni neeli dress mein thi, baal khule hue the, chehre par wohi massomiyat dikh rahi thi magar usski aakhen udaas the, Abhi ne sab bahot ghaur se dekha aur upar se Ruhi ki smile ghaayab tha…. ….. Abhi ko chain haasil hua ke khud Ruhi ne hi usska khat apne haath mein liya. Taxi se Abhi Ruhi ki expressions ko dekh raha tha…. Ruhi ko lifafa lete hi pata chal gaya ke Abhi ki handwriting hai, aur wo bahot khush nazar aayi aur letter ko apne seene se lagaate hue Ruhi wapas apne kitchen ke stairs ke taraf badhi….. Ruhi khush thi Abhi ke taraf se khat paakar…. Lifaafe se dikhta tha ke ek wishing card hai magar Ruhi ko pehle se hi pata tha ke Abhi sirf card nahin post karega andar letter zaroor hoga….. kyunke Abhi ne Ruhi se pehle keh diya tha ke wo ussko aur ek khat post karega New Year se pehle iss liye shayad Ruhi uss khat ka intezaar bhi kar rahi thi, aisa laga Abhi ko….

Abhi ko kia feel ho raha tha? Ajeeb. Ussko turant taxi se utar kar Ruhi ko jaa kar jakarne ka mann kar raha tha, magar nahin gaya…uss aangan ko Abhi dekh raha tha bilkool ajeeb dikh raha tha, khaali nazar araha tha kyuke wahan bus nahin tha….. Ruhi ko pata bhi nahin chala ke Abhi ussko ek taxi mein baith kar dekh raha hai….. (readers se guzarish hai ke iss baat ko yaad rakhe kyunke iss kahani ke end mein iss vakiah ko yaad kiya jaega aur Ruhi ke taraf se kuch baat kehne ko sunne ko milega jiss waqt postman ne ussko wo khat deliver kiya tha to kuch hua tha….. magar wo din bahot door hai jab wo baat aayegi -saalon baad)

Abhi ghar wapas pahuncha aur apne diary mein khud padhne laga ke Ruhi kia padh rahi hogi khat mein. Abhi ne jo kuch khat mein likha tha Ruhi ko exactly wohi sab apne diary mein copy kiya tha. Matlab do baar sab kuch likha tha, pehle khat likha phir jo kuch khat mein likha tha wohi apne diary mein bhi likha tha ussne. To ab Abhi dobara apne likhe hue khat ko padh raha tha yeh sochte hue ke abhi udhar Ruhi wo sab padh rahi hogi….

Khat mein Abhi ne uss se kaha tha ke wo apne parents ko bata dein ke Abhi usske ghar araha hai 3rd, 4th ya 5th January ko. Inn teen dinon mein se ek din wo Ruhi ke ghar aega, samajh lena ke New Year ke liye aa raha hai aur Ruhi se request kiya tha ke wo bhi ghar par hi rahe inn 3 dinon ko. Isske ilawa Abhi ne apne dil ka hal bayaan kiya tha Ruhi se… kia feel kar raha hai, kitna miss kar raha hi ussko, kitni baar wo ussko dhundne gaya tha uss sheher aur supermarket mein, phir kaise usski chachi ke ghar gaya, Shweta se mila aur usske chachi ne salah diya ke Abhi usske ghar jaakar usske parents se mile iss liye wo araha hai usske ghar…..

To Abhi ko ab tassali thi ke Ruhi ko pata hai ke Abhi 3,4, ya 5th ko wo usske ghar ane wala hai….

Khat mein Abhi ne yeh bhi likha tha ke

“jab main tumhare chachi ke ghar gaya tha mujhe umeed thi ke tum wahin hogi magar ussne kaha ke tum ek din pehle wapas apne ghar chali gayi thi magar jab main ne Shweta se pucha to usski expressions se laga ke tum wahin thi.

Mujhe weisa feel bhi ho raha tha ke tum wahin kahin mere aas paas ho… Kia tum wahin thi Ruhi? Kia tumne wo sab kuch suna jo tumhare chachi ne mujhse kaha? Kia tum wahin kissi kamre mein baith kar sab sunn rahi thi? Agar tum wahin thi to tum mere saamne kyun nahin aayi thi Ruhi? Main kitna tadap raha tha tumko dekhne ke liye!!”

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

Ab Abhi ne kia socha tha? ke wahan jaega Ruhi ke ghar to kia kahega? Kaise manaega Ruhi ke mummy papa ko?

Abhi ne aisa socha tha ke Ruhi ke papa se kahega ke wo usske ghar aaye, yaane unn logon ko apne ghar invite karega. Taake weh log dekh sake ke Abhi ka ghar kaisa hai, taake wo log dekh sake ke kia Ruhi Abhi ke ghar mein khush rahegi ya nahin….

Abhi unn logon ko yakeen dilaane ke liye wahan jana chahta tha ke Ruhi usske saath bahot khush rahegi… Ruhi ki maa ko Abhi convince karne ke liye jaana chahta tha ke usski beti khush rahegi usske saath… Abhi ne bahot kuch soch liya tha baat karne ke liye Ruhi ke mata pita se….

Aur Abhi ne socha tha ke ab to wahan kaam nahin kar raha hoga to wo Ruhi ke ghar ke andar araam se baith kar baat karega Ruhi ke parents se, aur Ruhi bhi present hogi, Manoj aur Mahesh bhi honge, to kum se kum ek koyi to kahega ke haan thik hai tum donon ek dusre se pyar karte ho hamein pata hai to lets move on, donon ke rishte kar dete hein…. Abhi sab positive soch raha tha ke uss din ko sab sahi ho jaega jab aamne saamne baat karega tab….

Jab bhi Abhi cigarette jalata to Ruhi ko sochta aur khud se kehta ke kab usski sach mein Ruhi se mangni hogi aur wo cigarette peena chorega hamesha ke liye… ussko cigarette chorrne ka mann tha aur sirf issi intezaar mein tha ke Ruhi usski ho jaaye aur wo cigarette peena chorr dega hamesha ke liye. Aur khud se kaha ke sach hai iskh insaan ko badal deta hai….

30th aur 31st December ko Abhi kaam karne gaya Saeed ke saath ek chota sa kaam mila tha ek bus ko repair karna tha kyunke wo bus kissi company ke workers ko carry karta tha aur abhi firm new year ke holiday par tha to bus free tha aur uss mein kaam ho sakta tha….. door ki ek bade sheher mein kaam karne jata tha Abhi… aur sab thik se guzra udhar….

Ab hui baat Mehboob ke 2 lakh jo baaki the dene ko to Saeed ne Abhi se kaha ke Mehboob ne sirf ek laakh diya hai aur kaha ke 1 laakh do mahine baad dega…. Uss 1 lakh mein se saeed ne Abhi ko sirf 25 hazaar rupay diye… Abhi ne kaha ke 50/50 karna chahiye tha to Saeed ne kaha ke agla 1 lakh milega tab wo Abhi ko 75 hazaar dega aur khud sirf 25 hazaar lega. To Abhi maan gaya. Abhi udhar kaam karta to baar baar idhar udhar dekhta, usko aisa lagta ke abhi Ruhi nazar aegi ussko, wo seeti bajata uss gaane ki aur kuch bhi karta bus ke andar to sirf Ruhi ka chehra dikhta…. Ruhi ko bhulana naamumkin tha Abhi ke liye, Ruhi Abhi ke rooh mein bass gayi thi, usske rag rag mein Ruhi samaayi hui thi…. Jo bhi kaam karta, jo bhi tool use karta har ek chiz Ruhi se judi hui lage Abhi ko… jaise bus ki coach building karne ka naam badal kar Ruhi ho gaya ho… har choti choti chiz jo Abhi karta to Ruhi se related tha har ek chiz se…. jaise jab hathoda istemaal karta to Ruhi yaad aati kyunke hathode se Abhi ko lagi thi to Ruhi aayi thi dawa lagaane…. Kissi bus ki shishe ko lagata to Ruhi saamne dikhti kyunke wahan Ruhi shishe ke paas Abhi ko jeeb se chidhaati thi…. Ek tin kaatta Abhi to Ruhi se related wo tin bhi tha kyunke usski aangan mein Abhi Ruhi ke kitchen ke saamne tin kaatta tha… koyi bhi kaam jo bus se related tha sab Ruhi se related tha…. kia Abhi yeh kaam aage chal kar kar paata?

Aur Saeed ne Abhi se kaha ke Mehboob mila tha ussko kal aur Mehboob ne bataya ke Ruhi ke pita ne bataya usse ke Abhi usski sister in law se milne gaya tha usske ghar aur mehbbob naraz tha iss liye ke Abhi Ruhi ke chachi se milne gaya tha usske ghar…

Yeh sunkar Abhi ko jhatka laga….

31st December ko kaam end kia 2 baje. Ghar jaakar naha dho kar Abhi gaya uss sheher jahan Ruhi ke chacha ka supermarket tha….. iss date ko bhid bhade hue the chaaron taraf sheher mein…..

Abhi supermarket reach hua, Ruhi ki chachi thi wahan, donon ek dusre se araam se baat kiye … Shweta mili, chachi ne khud Shweta se kaha Abhi se milne ke liye…. Shweta Abhi ke gale mili, aur Abhi ne ussko happy new year wish kiya aur Shweta ne Abhi ko bhi wish kiya, phir Abhi ne wahan ke baaki sabhi ko wish kiya aur nikal liya wahan se…. Ussne socha tha Ruhi new year ke liye supermarket aayi hogi jaise usski ma ne kaha tha magar Ruhi nahin mili wahan usse…..

Abhi ke liye yeh eve of the new year kuch khaas nahin tha, wo udaas tha aur Ruhi ki yaadon mein dooba hua tha….

Ussne sabke liye new year gifts kharide, Ruhi ke liye wo perfume kharida Abhi ne jissko ek baar Ruhi ne pucha tha ke kaun sa perfume use karta hai aur wo tha Bourgeois ki “Soir De Paris”. Bahot mehnga perfume tha magar Abhi ne kharida wo Ruhi ke liye…. Aur ghar mein sabke liye kuch nah kuch kharida aur raat ke 8 bajne se pehle Abhi wapas ghar agaya tha aur apne diary mein sab kuch likh kar sone gaya! Magar usske sath pehle kabhi aisa nahin hua tha, 1 baje, 2 baje, 3 baje subha ko wo jaaga, neendh tooti, ghutan mehsoos hui, Ruhi sapne mein aayi, ussko uthne ko kaha, uss se pyar kiya, royi, phir muskuraayi, Abhi ko kiss kiya, usske saath kahin chalne ko kaha…. Abhi ke saath aisa kabhi nahin hua tha pehle ussne apni diary mein subha 4 baje likha:

“I was feeling chocking, Ruhi came in my dreams, I was gasping for air… Ruhi!! She will turn me mad this girl!!”

Update 41 - Happy New Year…. & 5 Days After​

Abhi music bahut passand karta tha, Sirf Bollywood nahin Western bhi.

To iss 1st January ko subha ko ussne apne top ten western songs ko note kiya apne favourite channel par aur wo yeh the, aap log bhi enjoy aur yaad kijiye jinnko weh gaane yaad hein, sab 1986 mein top par the aur 1st January 1987 ko play kiya jaa raha tha. To apne diary mein Abhi ke Top ten list mein yeh gaane likhe hue the:

1. I want to wake up with you by B.Gardiner

2. Lady in Red by Chris de Burg

3. Different corner by George Michael

4. Papa don’t preach by Madonna

5. Say you say me by Lionel Ritchie

6. Lover why by Century

7. Promise you made by Cock Robin

8. Take my breath away by Berlin

9. Jane by Century

10.I just died in your arms by Cutting Crew

Abhi subha se din ke 1 baje tak ghar par hi tha. kahin nahin gaya, ussko kuch acha nahin lag raha tha sirf Ruhi ki yaad arahi thi usse. Ek bharipan sa mehsoos ho raha tha usse. Soch raha tha kia udhar Ruhi bhi ussko weise hi yaad kar rahi hogi? Kia Ruhi bhi Abhi ko miss kar rahi hogi….

Ruhi ko yaad kar hi raha tha ke radion par yeh gana chala jissne Abhi ko rula diya, bahot hi roya wo iss geet ko sunkar kyunke iss gaane ke shabd sab jaise ussi ke liye likhe gaye the, gaana yeh tha:

“Wo beete din yaad hai, Wo pal chin yaad hai

Guzaare tere sang jo, Lagakke ujhe ang jo

Wo muskana tera, wo sharmana tera

December ka samaa, wo bheegi bheegi sardiyan

Wo Mausam kia hua nah jaane kahan kho gaya

Buss yaaadein baaki….”

Yeh gaana unhi dinon ka hai aur Abhi ko laga ke gana specially usske liye aur usske situation ke liye likha gaya hai… khub roya wo issko sunkar aur Ruhi ko yaad kar kar ke.

Kaise nahin rota jab geet mein wohi sab likha hai jo Abhi aur Ruhi ke beech hue the – December ka sama tha, Ruhi ka pyar, ussko ang lagaya tha Abhi ne, Ruhi ka muskana, usska sharmana… sab kuch to hua tha Abhi aur Ruhi ke beech weisa hi, to kaise Abhi nahin rota bhala.

Shaam 2 baje Abhi apne bed par leyta hua tha aur usske dimaagh mein Ruhi leyte hue dikhaayi diya aur wo din yaad aya jab ussne Ruhi ko sote hue dekha ta apni nili dress mein…. Uss din Abhi ko Ruhi ko jakar kar kiss karne ka mann kar raha tha….. sab yaad kar raha tha Abhi….wohi din tha jab Reza bhi Abhi ke piche khada hua tha Ruhi ko dekhne ke liye….. yeh sab kuch Abhi ko paagal bana raha tha….. sab yaadein ussko tadpa raha tha….

Aur weise lete hue Abhi Ruhi ke jism ko sochne laga, uss ke har uss ang ko sochne laga jo usske jism se kabhi chipka tha, Abhi Ruhi ki jism ko sochte hue utejit hone laga ussne socha ke kaash Ruhi iss waqt naye saal ke din usske saath hota to wo kaise usske kapdon ko ek ek karke utaarta, kaise usske jism ke har unn komal hisson ko chumta, apna jeeb ferrta, Ruhi se kehta apne jeeb nikaal kar ussko weise hi chidhaane ko jaise wo kiya karti thi, tab jhat se Abhi usski jeeb ko apne munh mein le leta aur ussko passionately kiss karta aur apne haath se kiss karte hue usski jism ko sehlaate hue ussko bed par leytata….

Abhi Ruhi ko, usski touch ko bahot miss karne laga tha…..

Aur kuch der baad Abhi sochne laga ke 5th ko wahan jaega to kia hoga, kaise kiss se baat karega…….

1st January, 2nd, 3rd 4th ko Abhi buss Ruhi ki yaadon mein khoya raha…. Sirf sochta raha ke 5th ko jab wo wahan jaega to kia hoga. Abhi soch raha tha ke Ruhi ne baar baar khat padhi hogi aur kyunke Abhi ne khat mein likha tha ke 3rd, 4th aur 5th ke bich kissi ek din ko aega to Ruhi usska wait karna 3rd se shuru kar diya hoga. Abhi aisa soch raha tha, ussko pata bilkool bhi nahin tha ke uss taraf kia ho raha tha.

To Abhi jo kabhi bhi negative nahin sochta tha aaj pehli baar negative bhi socha ke kia pata iss liye ke Ruhi ne apni parents ko bata diya hoga ke Abhi in 3 dinon mein ek din ko wahan aane wala hai iss liye Ruhi ke maa baap ne unhi 3 dinon ke liye Ruhi ko usske nani ke ghar bhej diya ho aur jab Abhi wahan jaaye to Ruhi mile hi nahin usse! Yeh soch kar Abhi ghabra raha tha, wo nahin chahta tha ke Ruhi ussko nahin mile wahan aur sirf usske parents se milna pare ussko. Abhi chahta tha ke Ruhi bhi saamne ho jab Abhi usske maa baap se baat karega.

4th January ki raat ko mushladhaar baarish shuru hui pure desh mein. Monday ka din tha aur 3rd aur 4th Weekend the aur Naina aur Abhi ki maa, Abhi ki choti behen apne nani ke ghar chale gaye the New Year ke mauke par. Abhi aur usske pita aur baaki ke bhai ghar par the…. Itni baarish hue raat bhar, phir subha ko Abhi ke ghar se nikalna namumkin tha… Abhi ke ghar ke charon taraf paani bhare hue the jaise usska ghar ek jahaz tha samumdar ke beech. Raaste par paani aise beh rahe the jaise nadi.

Abhi ko phir bhi jana tha Ruhi ke ghar kyun ke ussne socha weh log usska intezaar kar rahe honge….

9.30ko Abhi tayyaar hokar ghar se nikla. Abhi ne naye saal ke mauke par naye kapde kharide the apne liye bhi, wohi pehna tha Ruhi ke ghar jaane ke liye. Jab Abhi ghar se nikal raha tha to usske pita ne uss se kaha ke aise Mausam mein kyun kahin jana hai, bahot tez aur khatarnaak tarike se baarish ho rahi thi pita ne kaha ke baadh bhi aa sakte hein kahin bhi desh mein.

Magar Abhi ko jaana tha chahe toofan aaye ya kayamat ussko Ruhi ke ghar jaana hi jaana tha.

Magar pehle ussne socha ke apne nana ke ghar se hote hue tab jaaye Ruhi ke yahan, uss tarah se wo naina se mil leta aur usski good wishes bhi mil jata usse.

Abhi ne ek bus liya, bus ke saare passengers bheege hue the aur khud Abhi bhi bilkool bheeg gaya sirf ghar se nikal kar bus stop tak jaate hue.

Uss sheher se hokar Abhi ko apne nana ke ghar jana tha jiss sheher mein Ruhi ke chacha ka supermarket hai. Wahan se ek dusra bus lena tha Abhi ko.

Uss sheher mein bhi baarish weisa hi tha aur raaste mein jagah jagah par gadiyan break down dikhaayi dete rahe charon raraf baarish ki vajah se… ek bhi aadmi kahin sukha hua nahin dikh raha tha, chhatri ho ya nahin, sab bheege hue the…. Abhi khud itna bheeg gaya ke usske underwears bhi bheege hue the…..

Apne nana ke ghar pahuche to naina, apni maa aur chhoti behen se mile, nana, mamou maasi sabse bhi mile, aur apne kapde utaar kar de diya naina ko iron se sukhaane ke liye jab tak wo khana kha raha tha.

Aur wahan se 1 ghante baad Abhi nikla Ruhi ke ghar jaane ke liye. Naina aur usski maa ko pata tha ke Abhi Ruhi ke ghar jaa raha hai aur shayad ek ya do hafte baad apne mata pita ko lekar Abhi jata Ruhi ka haath officially mangne shaadi ke liye, sab aaj ki meeting par depend karta ke weh log kia kehte hein Abhi ko. Naina ne Abhi ko good luck wish kiya aur Abhi nikal pada…. Aur wahan bhi buss nana ke ghar se nikal kar bus tak pahuncte hue hi Abhi phir pura bheeg gaya….. tar tar ho gaya andar ke kapde bhi bheeg gaye Abhi ke….

Udhar se ek aur chhota sheher tha jahan se Abhi ko bus lena pada Ruhi ke ghar pahunche ke liye….. Aur ussko bus mein Sunil ka apprentice mila aur uss yeh khabar mili ke kal Mehboob ne sabko apne bus mein lekar picnic ke liye seaside gaya tha, Sunil, George, Reza, usske behnein, Ruhi ka baap, usski maa, Manoj, Mahesh, Rahima, Farzinah, Ruhi ki dusri Cousin, sab gaye the seaside kal…. To Abhi ko tassalli hui ke agar kal seaside gaye the picnic par sab to aaj thakke honge to ghar par zaroor hogi Ruhi araam karne ke liye.

Aur aakhir mein Abhi reach hua aaj Ruhi ki aangan mein daakhil hote hue main road se, mushladhaar baarish mein….. Ruhi ke ghar jaate jaate Abhi ekdum bheeg gaya, usske sar se paon tak sab kuch bheega hua tha… sar ke baal se paani aise beh rahe the jaise Abhi ek nadi se nikla tha….

Ruhi ke ghar ke lounge ke paas terrace par khade hokar Abhi ne darwaza khatkhtaya….. baarish itni tez thi ke ek jiv jantu nazar nahin araha tha nah kahin kissi raaste par, nah udhar Ruhi ki aangan mein…. Wo aangan Abhi ko ab bahot bada dikh raha tha aur saaf suthra tha… New Year ke mauke par Ruhi ne terrace par new floor polish kiya hua tha wo dekh kar Abhi ko pata chal gaya ke Ruhi ghar par hi hai kyunke usske ilawa usski maa wo kaam kabhi nahin karti thi Sirf Ruhi karti thi wo kaam….. jitna der Abhi kadha raha darwaza khatkhataane ke baad utna hi wo aur bheegta raha….. Abhi ke haath mein ek plastic bag tha jiss mein kuch chocolates the Ruhi ke liye, chewing gum ka packet bhi tha aur wo perfume bhi tha, sab Ruhi ke liye.

Abhi apne pocket se apne rumal nikal kar sar ponch raha tha baar baar rumal ko piro kar uss mein se paani nikalte hue….

Der lagaya andar se darwaza kholne ke liye unn logon ne… Abhi expect kar raha tha ke Ruhi hi darwaza kholegi magar Manoj ne khola darwaze ko…..

Abhi ne ussko greet kiya, haath milaya, Manoj ne pucha

“kia chahiye”

To Abhi ne kaha ke usske papa se milna hai, phir Manoj ne kaha “andar aao bulata hoon….”

Aur Abhi andar gaya tab Manoj ghar ke andar gaya apne parents ko bulaane ke liye…. Aur Ruhi ki maa aayi, Abhi ne ussko greet kiya, Wo Abhi se muskuraayi phir Manoj ke piche ghar ke andar chali gayi… Manoj ke chehre mein bilkool Khushi nahin dikha Abhi ko, wo jaise naraaz tha Abhi ko apne dwaar par dekh kar…. Abhi itna bheega hua tha ke ussko unn ke ghar ke sofe par baithna acha nahin laga wo khada wait kar raha tha tab dada ji aaye Abhi se milne… Abhi ne unn se bhi haath milaya, aur dada ji ne Abhi ko baithne ko kaha. Magar Abhi ne kaha ke wo bilkool bheega hua hai nahin baith paega, dada ji zid karta raha to Abhi ne kaha ke sabko ajaane diya jaaye tab baithega. Dada ji ko Abhi ne naye saal ki shubkaamnaayein diye aur Dada ji ne bhi Abhi ko same kaha. To dada ji ne pucha,

“kiss se milne aaye ho?!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Aap sab se!”

To Dadaji ne hansste hue pucha,

“ya Ruhi ke liye aaye ho hahahaha!”

Abhi ko achcha laga magar usska chehra pata nahin kyun laal ho gaya ussko jaise sharam sa laga… aur Abhi ne dada ji se pucha,

“Yahin hai nah Ruhi?!”

Dada ji ne haan mein sar hillaya aur kaha,

“Aate honge tum se milne sab, Manoj bulaane gaya hai nah!”

Dada ji ne Abhi se pucha kia jidhar wo rehta hai udhar bhi aise hi baarish ho raha hai, to Abhi ne bataya ke pure desh mein aise hi baarish ho rahe hein aur raaste bhar charon taraf cars break down hein aur raaste par jaise nadi mitti aur kichad samet chaaron taraf beh rahe hein….

Koyi nahin araha tha Abhi se milne, ulta Abhi ne socha tha Ruhi dhadpadaati hui daud kar aegi Abhi se milne aur bahot khush dikhegi, sharmaaegi Abhi ko apne ghar mein dekh kar… Abhi apne khayaalon mein har tarah ki drisht bana raha tha Ruhi ko lekar…. Ussne soch liya tha ke Ruhi ko apna gaal dega kiss karne ke liye, kyunke yeh ek tradition tha New Year par weise kiss karke wish karna… to Abhi tayyar tha aur Ruhi ka wait kar raha tha….

5 minats beet chuka tha, dada ji aur Abhi baat kiye ja rahe the, Abhi ab tak khda tha aur Dada ji ussko baithne ke liye kahe ja rahe the magar Abhi keh raha tha ke sab ko aane ka wait karega tab baithega….

Ghar ke andar bhunbhun baatein karte hue sunaayi de raha tha, matlab andar Ruhi ke mata pita, Manoj sab baat kar rahe the…. Abhi soch raha tha ke weh log shayad soch rahe honge ke ab Abhi se sab settle kar lena hai aur ussko apne parents ko saath lekar aane ko kahenge issi liye ghar ke andar sab decide kar rahe the ke Abhi se kia bola jaaye….

Kyunke koyi bhi nahin araha tha to dada ji ne awaaz diya,

“Arey kahan ho tum log ghar mein mehmaan aaye hue hein itni der koyi lagata hai mehmaan ki khatir daari karne ke liye? Ari oh Ruhi aakar dekh to kaun aya hai sun rahi ho?!”

Aur Manoj wapas aya….. aate hi ghusse mein laal baboola hokar Abhi se kaha

“MERA BAAP TUM SE NAHIN MILNA CHAHTA, USSNE KAHA KE WO TUMKO EK BAAR JAWAAB DE CHUKA HAI BAAR BAAR WOHI BAAT NAHIN DOHRAEGA KYUN AAYE HO YAHAN? HUM KIA TUMHARE RISHTEDAAR HAI? WE ARE NOT RELATED TO YOU? HUMKO TUMSE KOYI VAASTA NAHIN HAI. AGAR MEHBOOB SE MILNE AAYE HO TO WO USSKA GHAR HAI MEHBOOB YAHAN NAHIN REHTA. UDHAR JAO.

AUR PHIR KABHI BHI IDHAR MAT AANA TUM HAMARE RISHTEDAAR NAHIN HO, AUR SUNON KHABARDAAR AGAR MERE DUSRE RISHTEDAAR KE GHAR GAYE KISSI SE MILNE USS SHEHER MEIN YA SHWETA SE MILNE GAYA TO! AUR YE LO JO LAST KE BUS KE PHOTOS LIYE THE ISSKE PAISE NAHIN CHAHIYE MUJHE LE JAO, CHALO NIKLO BAAHAR MERA GHAR KHARAAB KAR DIYA, PAANI BHAR DIYA CHAARON TARAF – GET OUT!!”

Abhi ka gala sukh gaya, ek lavz bhi nahin nikla balke aankh se aansoo tapke Manoj ki baton ko sunkar…. Usske peyr kaamp uthe, honth tharthara gaye haath kaampne lage ussko laga ke wahin girr padega… sirf Manoj ke chehre mein dekhta raha ussko sunte hue….. itni zillat life mein kabhi nahin jhela tha Abhi ne… ussko laga ke usske gaand mein laat maar ke, dhakke dekar Manoj ne ghar se nikala ussko….wo turant bina kuch kahe apne kadam ko ghar ke baahar nikala…. Dada ji bilkool heyraan Manoj ko dekh raha tha aur khada hua yeh kehte,

“Are Ruhi ko bulado wo usske liye aya hua hai nah?”

Manoj ne oonche awaaz mein Dadaji se kaha,

“aap chhup rehiye kissi ne aap ki raaye nahin mangi hai!”

Tab tak Abhi baahar nikal chuka tha aur dada ji ko yeh kehte hue suna,

“To kyun itne dinon tak Ruhi ko usse badhawa dene diya tha tum logon ne? Ab donon ki shaadi karwa dena chahiye!”

Abhi ke paon nahin uth rahe the chalne ke liye, aankh se aansoo jaari the uss baarish mein mein Abhi ko uss aangan se main road tak chalte hue uss faasla ko tey karne mein laga ussne ek ghanta liya Ruhi ke ghar se main road tak reach hone mein… taaqat nahin baaki raha tha Abhi mein….. main road par aya to raasta khali pada tha… ek bhi insaan nahin dikh raha tha Abhi baith gaya raaste par aur bahot zor se chilla kar rona shuru kiya!!!!!itna zor se chilaaya ke milon ke faasle tak usski awaaz reach hui hogi halaan ke bade zoron ki baarish ho rahe the…..

Abhi life mein kabhi uss tarah se nahin roya tha, thik Ruhi ki aangan aur Main road ke darmiyaan baitha hua tha, paani beh raha tha usske niche jaise ek stream mein baith kar ro raha tha,

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

Iss tarah se chilaate hue rota gaya koyi 5 minats tak….. filmon mein dekha hoga sab ne, movies mein aate hein aise scene magar yahan sach mein, hakikat mein weisa ho raha tha…magar sunne wala, ya dekhne wala koyi nahin tha… Abhi ne apne sar ko peeta, kuch iss tarah peeta apne sar ko jaise khud ko maar raha tha, khud ko kissi baat ka sazaa de raha tha, jaise uss se koyi gunah ho gayi thi aur uss gunah ke liye Abhi khud ko maarte hue saza de raha tha…..

Abhi ke haath peyr sab kaamp rahe the ussko samajh mein nahin araha tha ke weisa kyun ho raha hai, wo kaamp raha tha… ek bus guzra kuch tez raftaar se aur road ka sara pani kichar sameth bus ke guzarne se Abhi ko 100 gunah aur bhigo diya… Abhi ke naye kapde par kichad lag gaye, safed kamiz tha, aur cream colour ka pant pehna hua tha Abhi ne, maila paani kichad ke saath usske upar andaza lagaiye kaisa dikh raha hoga uss waqt…. uss plastic bag mein jo chocolates aur perfume the wo Abhi ne road par wahin rakha hua tha sab bhig rahe the, plastic bag ke andar paani chala gaya aur wo behne lage the… Abhi ke haathon mein jaise taaqat nahin tha uss plastic bag ko pakarne ke liye… agar ek pathar se wo bag nahin takrata to sab wahin chorr deta abhi….

Abhi ko kissi ke sahare ki zaroorat mehsoos hui uss waqt, ek dost ki, ya koyi bhi aisa insaan jo ussko apna sahara deta, ussko wahan se uthata, ussko sahara dekar bus stop tak pahunchata… apne doston ko soch kar roya Abhi…. Naina ko soch kar roya aur chilla kar kaha ke kaash ussko koyi thoda zeher deta uss waqt to be jhijhak wo pee jata uss zeher ko… ussi pal ko Abhi ko mar jaane ko mann kar raha raha, socha ke ek truck ya bus udhar se aate dikhaayi deta to usske saamne aa jata…. Magar tab raasta bilkool khali tha, sannata tha chaaron taraf baarish ke ilawa aur kuch nahin tha…. Abhi ne aasmaan ke taraf sar utha kar dekha aur aasman se baat kiya,

“Issi liye aaj ro raha hai tu ey aasmaan? Mere aansoowon ko tu bhi baha raha hai, tujhe pata tha mere saath yeh hone wala hai to tum ne pehle se rona shuru kar diya hai….. January 5th 1987 yeh date Abhi kabhi nahin bhulega… usski life ki ek aisi tariq thi yeh jo ussko umar bhar yaad rahega, iss date ko Abhi ne marne ki tamanna ki thi.

15 minats ke baad khud ko sambhaalte hue Abhi wahan se utha, mudh kar piche aangan mein nahin dekha…. Ussko nahin pata tha ke koyi Ruhi ya Mehboob ke ghar se ussko dekh raha hoga ya nahin… waise Mausam itna kharaab tha ke har ghar mein sab log pakode tal kar TV ke saamne baithe honge….

Uss plastic bag ko uthaya Abhi ne uss mein se saare paani ko nikala aur chocolates ko feink diya magar perfume ko sambhaal liya….. kissi tarah bhi Ruhi tak zaroor pahunchana tha ussko wo perfume….. Bus ki photos jo Maanoj ne usse diya tha wo bilkool bheeg gaye the; phir bhi weise hi saare photos ko Abhi ne ussi bheege hue platic bag mein daal diya…

Abhi ne apne dimaagh mein sab soch liya tha ke ab aaguey ussko kia karna hai…..

Wahan se uthte hue, bus top ke paas kade hokar, Abhi ne itna kaha aise hi hawa mein,

“Ghar aaye mehmaan ka aise swagat kiya jata hai Manoj, badduah lagegi mere tute hue dil ka tujhe yaad rakhna, kahin kutte ki maut naseeb nah ho jaaye tujhe ek din issi jagah” Abhi ke zubaan se aise hi yeh alfaz nikal gaya tha, kyunke usska dil buri tarah se tuta hua tha uss waqt… ussko pata bhi nahin tha ke wo kia bol raha hai, magar kia pata ek din yeh bad duah lag jaega Manoj ko? Who knows?

Abhi ke ansso behne lage bina roye yeh soch kar ke Ruhi kyun nahin aayi uss se milne? Manoj Abhi ko itna beizat kar raha tha, ussko dhitkar raha tha aur andar baithi Ruhi sab sun rahi thi? Ussko Abhi se bahot pyar hai isska yakeen tha abhi ko, to Abhi khud se puch raha tha kaisa pyar tha yeh ke mujhko ruswa kiya jaa raha tha, mujhko kutte ki tarah dhake dekar ghar se baahar nikala ja raha tha magar Ruhi ne kuch nahin kaha, kyun wo nahin aayi Abhi se milne, dada ji ne kaha ussko aane ke liye phir bhi nahin aayi kyun?! Aur Abhi ko darr tha ke kahin usske tute hue dil ki bad duha kahin Ruhi ko bhi nah lag jaaye…. Abhi nahin chahta tha ke usski Ruhi ko koyi bhi takliff ho magar usska dil bahot ro raha tha ke Ruhi ne kyun ussko uss tarah se ruswa hone diya!!

Bade beabroo hokar hum tere kuche se nikle…. Khud se kaha Abhi ne… bina awaaz ke, bina roye usske aankhon se darya beh raha tha aasman ke baarish se aansoo dhul rahe the, baarish aur aansoo ke milaap ho rahe the Abhi ke chehre par….

Uss waqt Abhi ne dekha wo dukaan khula hai jahan uss raat ko Abhi ne Ruhi ke liye cakes aur ice creams kharide the… Abhi wahan pahuncha….. dukaan wale ke siwa koyi bhi nahin tha wahan… sirf ek darwaza khula tha dukaan ki, baaki band the barsaat ki vaja se….. Abhi ne sharaab kharida aur piya 1 ghante tak wahan baith kar… Tab bus liya ghar wapas jaane ke liye…

Iss din ke baad Abhi ne USSKI GALI MEIN JAANA CHORR DIYA magar nahin ek baar gaya ek BAHOT HI IMPORTANT kaam ke liye – kissi se mila vila nahin siwae uss ek insaan se jiss se milne gaya tha uss kaam ke liye

Shaam ke 4 baj chuke the aur Abhi ghar wapas aya aur Naina ke gale lag kar itna roya, itna roya ke Naina ke saath usski maa, aur saare bhai sab ro pade…..

Update 42 Abhi Went There A LAST Time​

Abhi jaise ek depression face kar raha tha dusre din subha ko utha to. Naina ne apni mummy se Abhi ko doctor ke paas lejaane ko kaha, magar Abhi ne mana kiya jaane se aur wapas peene gaya.

Kal ki baarish tham gaya tha magar raaste par charon taraf kachde pade hue the, ganda tha pura desh….

Abhi yaad karne laga kiss tarah kal wo ek akela insaan tha raaste par Ruhi ke ilaake mein ek jiv jantu nazar nahin araha tha kahin bhi, ek kutta bhi nahin dikh raha tha Abhi akela bache ki tarah ro raha tha bich sadak par gande kapdon mein, naya saaf suthra kapda ganda ho gaya tha kichadh aur mitti lage hue usske libaas par, to Abhi ne socha shayad usske kismat mein gande kapdon ke saath hi Ruhi ke galiyon mein hamesha nazar ana tha kyunke itne mahinon tak kaam bhi to kiya tha wahan gande kapdon mein issi liye ussko saaf suthre kapde raas nahin aaye the kal wahan par, issi liye ganda hua tha…. bhala kaise aisa ho sakta hai ke ek insaan bhi nahin dikha tha uss dukandar ke ilawa udhar kal? Abhi ko bahot tahjub ho raha tha, wo kiss tarah se chilla kar roya tha ke kissi ne bhi nahin suna tha ussko? Ussko bahot heyraani ho rahi thi uss baat ko soch kar.

Bus mein ghar lautte waqt bhi rota gaya tha bus mein baith kar yeh sochte hue ke Ruhi ek baar bhi nahin aayi thi ussko dekhne, usska bhai Abhi ko itna bura bhala keh raha tha aur Ruhi andar sab sun rahi thi, kia Ruhi par koyi assar nahin hua tha jab Manoj ussko itna kuch suna raha tha? Abhi yeh jaanna chahta tha, samajhna chahta tha ke yeh sab kyun aur kaise hua?

Abhi yaad karne laga kiss tarah Ruhi ne uss se kaha tha ke wo uss se pyar karti hai, kiss tarah jiss din Abhi usske kamre mein gaya tha usski maa ke samne, aur jiss waqt Ruhi ne ussko apni secret batayi thi tab Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha tha wo phir bhi uss se pyar karta hai aur karta rahega aur uss se phir bhi shaadi karega, aur Ruhi se kaha tha ke ussko buss Abhi ko bahot sara pyar dena hoga aur pucha tha Abhi ne ke wo Abhi ko utna pyar de paegi to Ruhi ne kaha tha haan degi…. Aur Abhi ne pucha tha ke matlab ab usske aur Ruhi ke beech ab sab sahi ho gaya aur koyi problem nahin hai to Ruhi ne kaha ke haan ab sab sahi hai baaki jo kuch bhi kaha tha France jaana vaghaira sab jhoot tha….

Abhi ko ab bhi bilkool yakeen nahin ho raha tha ke Ruhi uss se pyar nahin karti, ussko pakka yakeen tha ke Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi ko andar zabardasti roka hoga… agar Ruhi Abhi se milne bhi chah rahi hogi to usski maa ne Ruhi ko pakar liya hoga…

Magar Abhi phir sochne laga ke wo sirf positive sochta hai kyun nah ab ulta soch kar dekhe ke Ruhi ne usska mazaak banaya, Ruhi usske saath ek khilwaad kar rahi thi itne dinon se! Ruhi ek randi hai bahot sare logon se chudwaati hogi, issi liye Abhi ke pyar ko thukraya kyunke wo Abhi se shaadi nahin kar sakti kyunke ussko seikron mardon ke saath chudwana passand hai….. Magar Abhi ne khud ko kossa eise khayal Ruhi ke liye apne dimaagh mein laane ke liye….. Ruhi se maafi manga apne dil mein ke usske liye bura soch raha hai….. Abhi ko apne nazron par pura bharossa tha, apne khud ki feelings par Abhi ko pakka yakeen tha, Abhi ko yakeen tha ke usska pyar itna gira hua nahin ho sakta ke wo Ruhi ki nazar mein apne liye sacha pyar ko nah pehchaan sake. Abhi ko apne dil par bharossa tha, ke usska dil itni badi ghalaati nahin kar sakta ke Ruhi ka sacha aur jhoota pyar ke beech antar nah dekh sake…. Abhi ko pura dil se yakeen tha ke Ruhi bhi uss se sacha pyar karti thi aur ab bhi karti hai aur shaayad umar bhar karti rahegi, magar Abhi ko yeh bhi pata aur yakeen tha ke Ruhi ki koyi bahut badi majboori hogi jo wo Abhi ko nahin bata paayi thi.

Abhi bahot pee chuka tha….. din ke barah baje the aur wo ladkharaate hue ghar wapas aya….. Naina ussko sambhaal nahin paa rahi thi…. Naina Abhi ko uss haalat mein dekh kar rone lagi aur apni maa ko bulaya Abhi ko andar lejaane ke liye….

Abhi geet gaa raha tha nashe mein sahi “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..” ussko sunkar Naina zor se rone lagi kyunke naina ko pata tha ke Abhi uss geet se juda hua hai Ruhi ke satah, diary mein sab padha hai Naina ne….

Bina khaana khaye Abhi so gaya raat ke 9 baje tak, utha to wapas peene chala gaya aur raat ke barah baje wapas lauta aur ulti kar raha tha… Naina ne hi ussko sambhala aur andar legayi…..

Aisa 5 din tak chala… Abhi ek din bhi kaam par nahin gaya, 3 roz saeed ussko dhundne aya magar Abhi ne jaane se mana kiya yeh kehkar ke usski tabiyat thik nahin hai.. Aur pancho din Abhi ne subha se shaam tak sharaab hi sharaab piye…. Wo sab kuch bhoolna chahta tha, Ruhi ko apne zehen se hamesha ke liye nikaalna chahta tha magar ussko pata nahin tha ke kaise nikaalein….

Aur chhatte din ko Abhi ne nahin pee….. ussne apne diary mein likhna shuru kiya uss din ke vakiye ko… sab kuch jaise guzra tha exactly wohi sab kuch bilkool detail mein likha Abhi ne….. subha se shaam tak Abhi ne likha uss din… Mausam kaisa tha ussko bhi bade detail mein likha aur apne aansoowon ko uss din ki barsaat se jodte hue likha ke aasmaan ro raha tha uss din kyunke Abhi ka dil tut kar Ruhi ke ghar se tudkon mein usske ghar tak bikhre pade the chaaron taraf. Sab likhne ke baad Abhi ne Naina ko padhne ko diya aur Naina ek bachi ki tarah rone lagi sab padhte hue..

Naina ne kaha,

“Bhai yeh sab Ruhi ko padhna chahiye tha!”

Tab Abhi ke mann mein ek khayal aya…. Uss raat ko bhi Abhi ne raat bhar diary mein likha… iss baar aisa likha jaise Ruhi se baat kar raha tha apne diary mein… aur Abhi ne decide kiya ke ab wo diary Ruhi tak pahunchaega… Ruhi ko sab zaroor padhna chahiye, Naina ne ussko bahot acha salah diya….

Agle din Abhi ne taxi liya aur gaya Ruhi ki aangan mein direct. Taxi ko Rahima ke ghar ke paas roka aur taxi ko buss 5 mins wait karne ko kaha….

Ek grey bade se envelope mein Abhi ne do diaries haan diary do ho gaye the jiss din se Ruhi ke baare mein, uss aangan mein kaam karne se likhna shuru kiya tha…. to uss envelope mein Abhi ne donon diaries daale, ek panne ka ek chitti dala aur Ruhi ki perfume jo dena chahta uss din, wo bhi dala aur Rahima ke yahan gaya.

Rahima khush hui Abhi ko dekh kar…. Ab Rahima se baat karte hue Abhi ne ro diya…. Rahima ne kaha,

“Abhi hum sab ko pata hai ke Ruhi bhi aap se pyar karti hai, wo sach mein aap se pyar karti hai bahot pyar karti hai magar usski maa rok rahi hai Ruhi ko, usski maa nahin chahti ke aap uss se shaadi karo, usski maa ek bahot hi buri aurat hai, usski buss chale to Ruhi ghar mein baithe budhi ho jaaye….”

Abhi ne buss Rahima se pucha ke wo yeh parcel Ruhi tak pahuncha sakti hai bina kissi ko bataaye, Abhi ne kaha,

“kissi ko bhi nahin pata chalna chahiye ke main ne aap ko kuch diya ussko dene ke liye varna weh log yeh chhinn lenge uss se…Ruhi ko padhna passand hai to do ghanton mein sab padh legi, buss wo sab padh lein to mujhe sukoon milega….”

Rahima ne promise kiya ke wo Ruhi ki parcel sahi salaamat ussko de degi…. Magar Abhi ne kaha ke usske jaane ke baad, chaahe to shaam ko bulaaye Ruhi ko apne ghar tab ussko parcel dein taake kissi ko pata nah chale ke main aya tha iss liye aap ussko bula rahi ho…. koyi puche ke main kyun aya tha to kehdena mera ek tool reh gaya tha yahan wohi wapas lene aya tha….”

Rahima ne pucha,

“kia kissi ne aap ko mere yahan aate hue dekha?”

Abhi ne kaha,

“mujhe Ruhi ki kitchen mein dekhne ki himmat nahin hui magar koyi tha kitchen mein pata nahin Ruhi thi ya usski maa”

Rhima: “To unn logon ko pata hai ke aap aaye ho yahan, phir to jaise aap wapas jaoge Ruhi ki maa puchne ayegi ke aap kiss liye aye the”

Abhi: “kia aap ko pata hai ke main last week ko jiss din baarish ho rahi thi usske ghar aya tha?!”

Rahima: “haan baad mein bataya gaya mujhe, uske dusre din ko Mehboob ne kaha mujhse, ke aap aaye the aur Manoj ne aap ko wapas jaane ko kaha!”

Abhi: “Aur Ruhi ne kuch nahin kaha aap se? wo to aap ke ghar aksar aati rehti hai nah?”

Rahima: “haan aati to hai magar iss baare mein kuch bhi nahin kaha ussne, bahot udaas thi, lagta hai bahot royi hai pichle kuch din, usske chehre se hanssi ghayab ho gayi hai aur mujhe pata hai ke wo aap se pyar karti hai magar kissi se kehti nahin, usske gharwalon ne aap ko wapas kiya iss liye wo bahot royi hai aur bahot udaas rehti hai aaj kal…”

Yeh sab sun kar Abhi ka mann bhar aya aur usska mann kiya ke Ruhi ke ghar jaakar uss se baat kare….. magar wo yeh nahin kar sakta tha usski khudgarzi ussko rok raha tha uss dwaar par ek baar phir jaane se, jahan se kutte ki tarah dhaka dekar nikala gaya tha Abhi wahan to nahin jaane wala tha, usska vaasta tha sirf Ruhi se uss ghar se nahin, wo Ruhi ko diaries pahunchana chahta tha buss yehi kaafi tha usske liye….

Abhi ne rahima ka shukriya ada kiya aur wapas taxi mein baith gaya… iss baar Abhi ne Ruhi ke kitchen mein ghaur se dekha magar koyi nahin tha…. Ruhi ya koyi ghar ke andar se baahar dekh raha hoga Abhi ko to yeh bilkool nahin pata tha Abhi ko, magar ussko Yakeen tha ke Ruhi aur usski maa zaroor ussko dekh rahe honge…. Ab taxi wapas jaa rahi thi to Abhi left side mein passenger seat par baitha tha nah, to tap one aur Ruhi ki terrase, washing stone sab usske side mein tha, aur ek nazar Abhi ne Ruhi ki khidki ke taraf uthaya dekhne ko to terrace par Ruhi ke pita dikhaayi diye aur ussne apna haath uthaya Abhi se…… Abhi heyraan reh gaya… usske samajh mein nahin aya ke kia karen… Abhi ne haath nahin uthaya buss saamne dekhne laga….

Aur uss din ke baad Abhi uss aangan mein bilkool nahin gaya!!!!! Yeh din tha jab Abhi ne USSKI GALION MEIN JAANA CHORR DIYA.

Update 43 Working At Another Place​

Abhi ne ab rona bandh kar diya tha, lagta tha usske saare aansoo ab sukh gaye the.

Wo kuch din baad royal cinema gaya ek movie dekne, aur uss supermarket mein Mahesh ko dekha, Mahesh ne bhi Abhi ko dekha magar ek dusre se kissi ne baat nahin kiye.

Abhi ne ab apne personal diary mein likha,

“My eyes do not cry now but my heart weeps, and when the heart weeps not tears come out but only blood. My heart bleeds and I am bearing it. It is very hard, it aches, it pains, I suffer, but I got to bear. But now I do not cry, let the heart keep crying inside, no one will see that.”

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

Agle din Abhi kaam karne gaya aur wo kaam finish kiya aur kal se ussko uss jagah kaam par jana tha jo Ruhi ke ghar se 10 kms ki doori par tha…. Jab Abhi Ruhi ki aangan mein kaam kar raha tha to yeh wala bus owner aya tha Saeed aur Abhi ko kaam karte hue dekhne aur uss ne apne bus ko repair karne ke liye kaha tha…. matlab kal se Abhi ko bus mein Ruhi ke aangan ke saamne se guzarna hoga agle 1 mahine ke liye kyunke wahan ka kaam ek mahine ke liye tha…

Aabhi ko bilkool mann nahin tha uss taraf kaam karne jaane ko aur saeed se kaha bhi magar saeed ne kaha ke uss taraf dehna bhi nahin buss ke dusre side mein baithna…. Kaam to karna hai, tum Ruhi ke aangan mein thoda hi jaa rahe ho!

Aur subha ko jab Abhi wahan se guzra bus mein to kia aalam tha, kia feeling thi, wo bayan karna bahot mushkil hai… Abhi ko turant buss se utarne ka mann kiya…. Ussi bus stop par har subha 6 baje ajata tha nah? To ussko wo nostalgic feel hua… ussko laga ke ussko wahin utarna chahiye tha, aur Ruhi ki aangan mein hi jana chahiye tha…. shukar hai ke sirf 2 mins ke liye bus uss bus stop par ruka koyi utra phir bus aage badhne laga….

Wo jo subha ka fiza hota tha jab har subha ko Abhi aya karta tha subha savere Ruhi ke khidki par uss se baat karne ke liye… wohi atmosphere ab bhi tha kyunke ussi time ko Abhi guzra tha aaj phir bus se…. ussne ek nazar Ruhi ki angan mein dekha bhi jab bus guzra to magar sirf 2 seonds ke liye wo hua, aur sirf aangan aur Ruhi ka ghar nazar aya Abhi ko, aur bagiche mein phool dikhe…. Abhi ne socha ab pura ek mahina weise guzarna hai ussko to ussko umeed tha ke ek din Ruhi zaroor dikhega ussko uss aangan mein ya garden mein ya apni kitchen ki stairs par……

Usski galiyon mein jaan chorr diya Abhi ne magar ab majbooran ek mahine ke liye kaam ke silsile mein jana par gaya Abhi ko…. Phir isske baad bilkool gaya hi nahin uss taraf saalon tak….

Magar iss ek mahine mein kafi kuch dilchasp jaankaari milne wala tha Abhi ko Ruhi se related…. Kyunke jahan ab Abhi kaam karne jaa raha tha wahan bhi George aur Sunil ayenge apne kaam karne ko ussi bus mein!!

Uss jagah kaam karne ke liye har subha aur shaam ko bus Ruhi ki main road se guzarta, aur har din do baar Abhi usske ghar ke taraf dekhta. Halaan ke kuch ab expect nahin karta tha magar ussko yakeen tha ke kissi din to Ruhi ki jhalak zaroor dikhega usse. Shaam ko hamesha Ruhi aur usski maa kitchen ke stairs par hua karte the yeh pichle dhai mahinon mein Abhi ne dekh to liya tha iss liye ussko pata tha ya to kabhi shaam ko ghar lautte waqt ya subha ko Ruhi ko baad mein zaroor dekhega….

Aur hua wohi in 30 dinon mein 5 baar Abhi ne Ruhi ko stairs par dekha, sirf kuch pal ke liye aur 2 din subha ko kaam par jaate waqt baagh mein phool todte hue dekha Abhi ne… usske dil par kia guzra, kaisa feel hua ussko kia bayan karne laayak hai? Nahin. Bilkool bhi nahin. Phir bhi jaan lo ke Abhi ko turant bus se utar kar Ruhi ke paas jaane ko mann kiya uss se sirf ek sawaal karne ka mann kiya ke kyun uss din wo nahin nikli jab Manoj ussko dhitkaar raha tha…..

Pehli baar jab subha ko Abhi ne Ruhi ko dekha to khud se kaha ke ussko bus se utar kar jaana chahiye tha wo sawaal puchne, magar nahin gaya to socha phir kabhi subha ko wo dikhi tab Abhi zaroor utrega bus se aur jaega uss se puchne.

Aur jiss din dusri baar ussne Ruhi ko dekha garden mein to Abhi bus se utra, chal kar usski aangan tak gaya, Ruhi ko dekha, magar turant wapas bus stop par laut gaya….. usse himmat nahin hui uss aangan mein apne kadam rakhne ki…..

Aur ek din subha Abhi kaam par jaate waqt bus ke andar se Manoj ko dekha main road ke kinare khade aangan ke paas, aur Manoj ne bus ke andar dekha aur usski nazar Abhi par pada, bus aage ke bus stop par ruka aur shaayad Manoj ne socha ke Abhi phir wahan araha hai, to wo wait karne laga dekhne ko ke kaun bus se utar raha hai, aur bus ke andar se mudhkar Abhi bhi Manoj ko dekh raha tha, Abhi samajh gaya ke Manoj yehi soch raha hoga ke wo wahin araha hai phir se usski behen se milne ke liye, Manoj ka chehra uss waqt thoda fikarmand lagne laga tha….. magar bus restart hua aur jaane laga aage badhte hue, to Manoj ko pata chala hoga ke Abhi kahin uss taraf kaam kar raha hoga….

Ab Abhi ne dil hi dil mein socha kia pata Manoj ko uss din ke vyohaar ke liye afsos hai aur wo chahta tha ke Abhi phir aye aur wo Abhi se maafi maange aur uskso Ruhi se milaa de…. Kia pata ke Manoj par sab ne milkar chilaaya hoga, kia pata ke Ruhi ne uss se baat karna chorr diya hoga uss din ki vyohaar ki vajah se aur tab Manoj ne Ruhi se kaha hoga ke thik hai Abhi iss baar ayega to uss se maafi mang lunga aur tum mil lena uss se….. Abhi optimist aadmi tha to hamesha bhala hi sochta tha, positive hi sochta tha iss liye usske liye sab sahi ho sakta tha….

Aur unn 30 dinon mein jab Abhi ne us taraf kaam kiya total mein mein 7 baar Ruhi dikhi aur ek baar Farzinah ko bhi dekha Ruhi ki kitchen se nikalte hue magar sab se jiada ek din Ruhi ko tab dekha jab shaam ko jaate waqt ek truck ruka huya tha bus ke aage traffic block the aur bus thik Ruhi ke aangan ke saamne ruka tha koyi 4 mins tak…..

Abhi seedha Ruhi ke kitchen ki stairs ko dekh raha tha apne chehre par rumaal rakh kar aur Ruhi ki maa dikhi thi stairs par, phir Mahesh dikha tha aur phir Ruhi dikhi thi stairs par aur wo seedha bus mein hi dekh rahi thi… bus se usski stairs tak ka faasla koyi 12 metres ka hoga…. Ruhi udaas kadhi dekhti rahi Abhi ke taraf, magar pata nahin Ruhi ne Abhi ko bus ke andar pehchaan liya tha ya nahin…. Jiss nigaah se Ruhi dekh rahi thi lagta thar ro padegi, Abhi ne apne chehre ko rumaal se dhankka hua tha, usske khud ke aankhen bhar aaye Ruhi ko dekh kar aur kyunke 4 mins tak mauka mila ek dusre ko dekhne ke liye, to Abhi ke mauke ka faeda uthaate hue ussko dekhta gaya, ab Ruhi ne shayad Abhi baal se, usske peshaani se, usske rang se Abhi ko pehchaan liya tha, issi liye khadi dekhti rahi jab tak bus aage nahin badha… Ruhi stairs par khade hokar apne kaandhe aur sar ko darwaze se tika diya tha bus mein dekhte hue…. Aur jaise usski aadat thi jab bus jaane laga to Ruhi ne aasmaan ko dekha aur… Abhi ko yakeen tha ke usske baad usski aankhen bhar aaye honge kyunke jab bhi wo weisa karti thi usski aankhen bhar aate the….. pata nahin kyun wo weisa karti thi…. Sar upar uthaakar aasmaan ko dekhti aur sar wapas jhukaati to usski aankhen bhare hote…. Pichle dhai mahinon mein Abhi ne Ruhi ko weisa karte 20/25 baar dekha hoga…. Abhi ne jaate hue bus mein socha ke shaayad ab Ruhi iss waqt usse dekh kar unn dinon ko yaad karne lagi thi, aur ho sakta hai Ruhi pray kar rahi hogi ke kaash Abhi bus se utar kar wahan aajaye…hakikat mein Abhi ka mann wohi chahta tha, ussko turant bus se utar kar bhaag kar wahan jaa kar Ruhi ko apne baahon mein jakarne ka maan kar raha tha….

Agar uss din Manoj ne uss tarah se Abhi ko nahin nikala hota, at least ache se araam se baat karke ussko wapas jaane ko kaha hota ya ek dosti banaaye rakhne ko kaha hota to aaj Abhi zaroor Ruhi se as a friend to milne jaata!!

Ye sab sochte hue Abhi uss din Ruhi ki yaad mein ghar pahuncha aur phir se usski yaad mein peene gaya….

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

Kaam mein jiss din Sunil se mila Abhi to Abhi uss se baat nahin kar paaya, ro diya Abhi ne usse dekhte hi… aur yehi din tha jab Sunil ne Abhi ko bataya ke uss din Ruhi ki maa ne Sunil se kia kaha tha aur uss din Sunil ussko nahin bata paaya tha kyunke Mehboob wahin tha to Sunil nahin chahta tha ke uss waqt Abhi aur Mehboob mein ladaayi ho. Sunil ko pata tha ke abhi hot tempered hai aur wo bardasht nahin kar paata aur ussi waqt wo Mehboob se lad leta…. Magar ab sab bataate waqt sunil ne kaha,

“Mujhe ussi waqt tumko shayad bata dena chahiye tha, aur sab ussi waqt saamne aajata to shayad aaj Tuhi teri hoti, tu shor machata, ghussa karta Mehbob se ladta magar tab Ruhi aur usski maa ko sab pata chalta to shayad tab Ruhi tumse aur khush hoti ke tum ussko paane ke liye lad baithe the….”

Sunil ne bataya ke uss din Ruhi ki maa ne uss se kaha tha ke Mehboob ne ussko kaha tha ke Abhi Ruhi ke liye thik ladka nahin hai, Abhi kaam nahin karta bekaar hai, Abhi sirf saeed ke kehne par kaam karne aya hai aur yahan sirf Ruhi ki vajah se regularly kaam par araha hai, varna jahan bhi kaam karta hai hafte mein do din kaam karta baaki ke din mauj masti karta hai, upar se gharib hai, bahot gharib hai, Ruhi ko wo khush nahin rakh paega, Ruhi usske ghar mein kabhi khush nahin rahega usski do behnein hein aur 4 bhai, ghar chhota hai kahan rahegi Ruhi ek kamre mein 4 bhaiyon aur do behnon ke beech? Dhang ka kam hi nahin to Ruhi ka kia haal hoga uss ghar mein…..

Aur sunil ne yeh bhi bataya ke Ruhi ke saamne yeh sab kuch kaha tha aur Ruhi se bhi kaha tha ke khabardaar uss se ziada baat kiya ya ussko badhawa diya to…. Abhi se door rehne ko order diya tha Mehboob ne.

Abhi ne sab sunte hue Sunil se pucha,

“bhai itna bata sakte ho ke yeh hua kab tha? kab Mehboob ne yeh sab kaha tha Ruhi aur usski maa se? usski nani ke ghar jaane se pehle ya baad mein?”

Sunil: “yeh to exactly nahin pata bhai, magar yehi sab kaha tha uss din usksi maa ne mujhse jiss din Ruhi tere gale milkar ro rahi thi jab tere ungli mein dawa laga rahi thi”

Abhi: “yaar yeh sab baatein kyun Mehboob ne kaha tha Ruhi aur usski maa se? yeh sab to bilkool JHOOT hai yaar!”

Sunil: “ab sun Abhi aur ek baat hai jo mujhe kehne se daarr lag raha hai, pehle mujhe promise kar ke tu chhup rahega aur kissi ko kuch nahin batayega aur nah kuch kahega… bilkool ek intelligent aadmi ki tarah baat sun aur buss aisa behave karna ke tujhe wo baat bilkool pata hi nahin….”

Abhi ne promise kiya ke chhup rahega aur buss aisa karega ke ussko kuch pata hi nahin, tab sunil ne kaha,

“Abhi yaar, sab tere Saeed ji ka kiya karaya hai…. Ek din Saeed aur usski maa mein baat hui thi. Ruhi ki maa ne saeed se pucha tha ke tu kaisa ladka hai iss liye ke usski beti tujhse pyar karne lagi hai…. Shuru mein Saeed ne kaha tu thik ladka hai magar baat karte hue Saeed ne kaha ke tu kaam nahin karta, bhagta rehta hai kaam se sirf yahan Ruhi ki vajah se har roz kaam par ata hai aur tera ghar chhota hai, tere kitne bhai behen hein aur Ruhi ko utne saare logon ke saath tere ghar mein rehna padega…. Matlab saeed ne Ruhi ki maa ko tere ghar mein beti dene se discourage kiya tha, aur yehi sab batein saeed ne mehboob ko bhi bataya tha… aur donon Mehboob aur saeed ne milkar tera patta kata hai bhai!”

Abhi: “Yaar main har roz wahin rehta tha kab unn logon ne itne saare baatein kar liye the Ruhi ki maa ke saath yaar?!

Sunil: “jab tu lunch time mein Ruhi ke saath hua karta tha ghar ke piche tab teenon udhar aapas mein baat kiya karte the Abhi, wo main ne bhi dekha hua hai!! Unn dinon main samajh raha tha ke sab yehi baat karte the ke tu aur Ruhi chhup chhup kar milte ho etc….”

Abhi rone laga yeh sab sunkar aur aaj Abhi ko sunil ka kaandha mila rone ke liye….

Baad mein sunil ne kaha,

“Mujhe pata chala ke tu gaya tha wahan aur Manoj ne tujhe wapas bheja, sab bataya mujhe usski maa ne yaar bahot afsos hua mujhe…”

Abhi: “usski maa ne tujhse uss din ke baare mein aur kia kaha Sunil mujhko sab sach sach bata please, meri Ruhi kahan thi wo kyun nahin aayi thi yaar?”

Sunil: “bhai detail nahin diya ussne, buss kaha ke tu aya tha aur Manoj ne tujhse buri tarah baat kiye aur tu bina kuch bole chala gaya… kaha ke sab log naraz iss liye the tujhse ke tu usski chachi ke ghar gaya tha baat karne kyunke wo log uss chachi ko bilkool passand nahin karte, uss chachi ne pata nahin kia aag lagaya tha ke Ruhi ki maa, baap aur manoj bhadke hue the, itna pata chala ke uss roz Ruhi bahot ro rahi thi au usski maa ne ussko tujhse milne ko mana kiya tha aur usske pita ne bhi, issi liye pita tujhse milne nahin aya tha kyunke tu usske bhai ke ghar gaya tha….”

Abhi: “kamaal hai yaar khud apni beti ko us chachi ke ghar rehne ko bhejti hai aur ussko passand nahin karti? Ruhi ki maa ne khud mujhe bataya tha ke Ruhi usske ghar rehne gayi hai jaise mujhe Ruhi se milne ka ishara kar rahi thi last day ko…. Khud manoj bekaar hai apne ussi chacha ke supermarket mein kaam karta hai aur ussko passand nahin karte weh log?!”

Sunil: “Abhi yaar hota hai nah family mein, log ek dusre ke tarraki se jalte hein to wo sheher wala chacha aur chachi well off hein to inn logon ka jalta hoga khaas kar Ruhi ki maa ki….”

Abhi: “bhai kia aage kuch ho sakta hai? Tu mere liye kuch kar sakta hai?”

Sunil: “Abhi meri baat maan to tu bilkool bhool ja Ruhi ko, nikaal feink apne dil se ussko, tujhe bahot saari ladkiyan mil jaenge yaar!”

Abhi: “bhool to nahin paunga bhai, pyar bhi karta rahunga umar bhar…. Milna likha hai kismat mein to milegi…. Varna aise hi kaat lenge zindagi ko yaar kaun si badi baat hai….”

Sunil: “haan 4th ko main bhi gaya tha picnic sab ke saath Ruhi bhi thi aur Ruhi se pucha tha main ne kia tujhse sach mein pyar karti hai, haan kaha tha ussne sharmaate hue aur kaha tha ke tumne uss se likha tha ke tu,3,4, ya 5 ko usske ghar ane wala hai, aur ussko fikar thi ke kahin to 4 ko nah jaaye wahan kyunke sab sea side par the… aur Ruhi ne tere baare mein kaafi baaten kiye the George ke saath, mujhe aur George ko pata tha ke tum aur saeed yahan iss bus mein kaam karne ane wale ho to main ne George se kaha ke tu jab yahan uss se milega tab wo tujhe bataaye ke Ruhi ne kia kaha ussko tere baare mein, to kal ya parson George iss bus ki engine ko check karne aaega to wo tujhe bataayega…..”

Abhi: “George se kia baat kiya Ruhi ne mere baare mein? Aur kyun?”

Sunil: “are wo sab dekhti thi nah ke tum kiss kiss ke dost ho? to Ruhi ko zaroor pata tha ke tum George ka acha dost ho issi liye ussne usske saath tere baare mein baat kiya shayad koyi message bhi diya hai George ko tujhe dene ke liye!!”

Abhi ko Khushi bhi hui gham bhi yeh jaan kar ke Ruhi ne koyi message bheja hai George ke saath, magar it’s too late kaha Abhi ne….. agar message 5 tariq se pehle milta to koyi baat hoti ab to bahot der ho chuka hai….

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

George mila do din baad to Abhi ne uss se baat kiye.

George ne kaha,

“Ruhi ko pata nahin kaise pata tha ke tum aur hum dost hein, main khud keyraan hua jab picnic wale din ko wo mere paas aayi aur pucha ke kia mujhe pata hai ke Abhi kahan rehta hai….”

Abhi heyraan hua aur George se pucha,

“magar kyun mera pata pucha tumse George?”

George: “are pata nahin pucha, ussne mujhse kaha ke tum ne ussko kaha tha ke 5th tariq ko tu wahan ane wala tha to ussne mujhse kaha ke tum ko bol dun ke 5th ko nahin ane ko wo baad mein bataegi ke kiss din ko ana!”

Abhi: “What? 5th ko nahin ane ko kaha? Are yaar to tu ne mujhe contact kyun nahin kiya kissi tarah se bhi yaar? Mujhko bata dete nah yaar kissi tarah se bhi George?!”

George: “bhai 4th tariq ko der saam ko hum ghar laute picnic se… mujhe iss liye chalne ko kaha tha ke kahin bus ki engine mein koyi problem ho to main bana sakun….. ab raat ko kaise main idhar se tere paas ata? Main ne socha ke 5th ko subha ek dost ki car lekar tere ghar aakar tujhe bataunga, magar itna baarish hone lagi thi ke nikalna namumkin tha yaar!”

Abhi: “yaar George pata nahin kyun aane se mana kiya tha 5th ko?! Kuch to baat hui hogi nah….. to kia tumne uss se kaha tha ke tu mujhe bata dega?”

George: “nahin main ne uss se kaha ke main bahot door rehta hoon, ussne mujhse pehle pucha ke kia main tera ghar jaanta hoon kidhar hai, to main ne kaha ke haan jiss raat ko last din bus complete hue the to hum tujhe chorrne gaye the to tera ghar dekha tha. tab ussne kaha ke kia main ussko madad kar sakta hoon kyunke main tera dost hoon to madad karna padega to main ne kaha ke haan madad karunga….. main ne socha tha ke koyi letter vaghaira degi tujhe dene ke liye, magar jab ussne kaha ke tujhse milkar tujhe batana hoga ke agle din tujhe nahin ane ko wahan to main ne usse bataya ke naamumkin hai, kyun ke kal 5th hai aur aaj 4th to ek din mein kahan se jaa paunga tujhe bataane ko…. To wo samajh gayi ke nahin ho paega…. Phir bhi main ne socha tha ke agle din subha ko main ata tujhe bataane…. Magar baarish ki vajah se nahin aaya.”

Aaur kuch pucha ya kaha tha mere baare mein ussne tujhse George?

George: “hmmm pucha tha ke tera ghar kaisa hai hehehehe!”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue pucha,

“aur tum ne kia kaha?”

George: “main ne kaha raat ke 1 baja tha to thik se nahin dekha”

Abhi: “phir kia boli?”

George: “pucha ke concrete ka ghar hai ya tin aur ladki ka!”

Abhi: “Aur tum ne bola??”

George: “haan main ne bata diya ke concrete ka bada ghar hai aur main road par hai.”

Abhi: “tab kia boli?”

George: “khush dikhi aur muskura diye, tab ussko usski maa ne bula liya.

”

Abhi heyraan aur pareshan hua ke aakhir kia baat hui hogi.

Phir kuch der baad George ne kaha,

“Abhi wo ladki tujhe bahot pyar karti hai, ussko dhoka mat dena, tu usske saath bahot khush rahega.”

Abhi: “tujhe nahin pata kia hua hai George?”

Tab sunil ne George ko sab bataya jo 5th tariq ko Abhi ke saat hua…..

George heyraan hua aur yaad karte hue kaha,

“Magar Ruhi ne to mujhse kaha tha ke usska chacha aur chachi against hai magar usske gharwale raazi hai.. aur haan sun Abhi, ek baar wo Reza Ruhi ko kuch bol raha tha to Ruhi ne ussko ghusse mein gali diya tha aur shut up kaha tha uss din.”

Abhi: “chorro yaar ab yeh sab baatein mere kiss kaam ka sab khatam ho gaye hein….”

George ne aur yaad karte hue kaha,

“haan ek baar jab hum wapas arahe the to bus mein Ruhi ne mujhse kaha ke ‘abhi bahot acha ladka hai, nek hai, honshiyaar aur bahot tez hai hai nah?’ to main ne uss se kaha haan sach mein tez hai, intelligent hai, tumhare liye bahot sahi hai, tum donon ki jodi bahot achi rahegi”

Abhi: “tab kia boli?!”

George: “hanssi bahot khush thi aur thank you kaha.”

Abhi: “George to kishton mein kyun bata raha hai sab bata nah aur kia kia kaha tha Ruhi ne tujhe?!”

George: “Buss yehi kuch aur yaad aega to bolunga nah!”

Abhi ko bahot Khushi hui, ussko yakeen tha ke usska pyar kabhi ghalat nahin ho sakta, Abhi ko pura yakeen tha pehle se hi ke Ruhi uss se bahot pyar karti hai….. magar ab kia faeda…..

To be continued….

Update 44 The Diaries​

January 5th se Abhi ne shave nahin kiya tha 20 din ho chuke the aur wahin kaam kar raha tha 10kms Ruhi ke ghar se door. Sabhi uss se kehte the shave karne ke liye, magar Abhi shave nahin kar raha tha. Dadhi badh gaya tha usska, look alag lag raha tha, thoda aur bhi tough look ho gaya tha usska uss daadhi se.

Ek Saturday ko Abhi Uss sheher mein gaya dekhne ke kahin Ruhi nah mil jaaye kyunke Saturdays ko wo jaati thi sewing course ke liye nah. Magar address bilkool pata nahin tha Abhi ko phir bhi uss jagah wait karta jahan se Ruhi ke ilakae se ane wala bus rukta passengers ko utaarne ke liye. Ruhi Karib 9 se 9.30 ko ghar se nikalti thi to 10 se 10.30 ko wahan reach hoti hogi aisa anumaan lagaya Abhi ne aur uss terminus par 9 baje chala gaya aur 12 baje tak wait kiya magar Ruhi nahin dikhi….

Phir aur do Saturdays ko gaya wait karne magar nahin mili Ruhi usse.

Abhi ne socha tha ke uss se milkar puchega ke kyun wo nahin chahti thi ke abhi 5th ko usske ghar aaye, aur puchta kia ab bhi uss se pyar karti hai ya nahin aur agar Ruhi haan kehti to Abhi ne soch liya tha ke Ruhi ko udhar se utha lejaega apne ghar aur uss se shaadi kar lega tab usske parents ko batayega…. Magar Ruhi mili hi nahin, shayad ussne wahan jaana bandh hi kar diya…

Phir bhi Abhi 4 mahine baad ek Saturday ko aur gaya tha dekhne ke kahin Ruhi dikh jaaye magar nahin dikhi aur usske baad Abhi kabhi bhi nahin gaya wahan ussko wait karne.

Aur weise hi ek din Mehboob mila Abhi ko ussi terminus par. Abhi khada tha ek pole se tek lagaaye jab Mehboob usske paas aakar usske kaandhe par chhua aur pucha,

“hello Abhi kaisa hai?!”

Abhi ko itna ghussa aya ke ussko gaali dene ka mann kiya, magar Abhi ne buss kaha ke thik hai; to Mehboob ne kaha,

“Tumne daadhi kyun badha rakha hai?!”

Abhi ne koyi jawaab nahin diya ek taraf dekhta raha to Mehboob wahan se nikal liye….

Abhi kissi se baat karne mein interested nahin tha, ghar par bhi kissi se baat nahin karta tha, 5th January se february mein kayi din nikal chuke the Abhi khamosh rehne laga tha… nah doston se milta, naa baahar jaata nah kissi se baat karta….

Ghar mein Naina affect ho rahi thi to ek din naina ne rote hue Abhi se pucha,

“main ne tera kuch bigara hai kia? Mujhse kyun baat tak nahin karta tu? Kitne din ho gaye jab tumne mujhse aakhri baar baat kiya tha yaad hai bhai?!”

Abhi usske gale lag kar rone laga…..

Ab bhi dard baaki tha Abhi ke seene mein. Ab bhi Ruhi ki yaad sata raha tha usse. Ab bhi tadapta tha usski yaad mein magar kissi se kuch kehta nahin tha.

Apni ghar wale diary mein din ginta tha ke kitne din hue jabse apne diaries ko Ruhi ke ghar chorra tha, intezaar mein tha ke kissi se koyi khabar mile usske baare mein…. Aur uss taraf ke kaam ka aakhri din tha, to sunil se Abhi ne kaha,

“yaar mere liye ek kaam karega please?”

Sunil: “tere liye jana haazir hai Abhi bol tu!!”

Abhi: “ek kaam kar yaar, Ruhi se milkar puch kia ussne meri diaries padhe ya nahin? Magar nah usski maa, na usske bhai na kissi aur ke saamne puchna yeh baat…. Bus itna puchna, mujhe jawaab buss haan ya nah mein chahiye…. Aur ek koyi bhi nahin puchna!”

Sunil: “Magar Abhi aaj to last day hai yahan, to kab aur kaise tumko bataunga?”

Abhi: “tumko apna address likh kar deta hoon mujhe ek chithi daal dena yaar itna kar sakega kia?”

Sunil raazi hua aur Abhi ne ussko apna address likh kar de diya.

Udhar ka kaam khatam hua to ek hafte tak Abhi ghar par raha. Kahin koyi aur kaam nahin mila tha. Abhi ko ab saeed se nafrat ho gaya tha jab ussko pata chal gaya ke ussne kia kia kaha tha Ruhi ki maa se….

Wo usske saath kaam nahin karna chahta tha.

Abhi ab kuch bada sochne laga tha. Soch raha tha ke kaise uss sapne ko pura karen…. Wo uss bandh garage ko kholna chahta tha aur tamaam unn ex workers ko wapas garage mein kaam karne ko lana chahta tha….

Garage mein seal laga hua tha, sab liquidation par jaane wala tha tamaam machineries etc. matter court mein receivership mein tha. Abhi ne suna tha ke koyi dusre bade company wala sab kharidne wala tha. Usske liye karoron Rupay ki zaroorat chahiye the aur Abhi ke paas der lakh tha sirf.

Phir bhi Abhi ne search karte hue ek aadmi tak pahucha jo broker tha garage aur receivership walon ke beech ka. Usska naam tha Samioullah. Ghatiya kissam ka broker tha. Khud likhna padhna ata to tha nahin aur Abhi ko samjha raha tha.

Aakhir mein bahot saare kagzaat diya ussne Abhi ko dekhne aur padhne ke liye aur pata chala 1.5 crore rupay lagaya gaya tha receivership walon ke taraf se garage kharidne ke liye. Wo dekh kar Abhi hataash gaya aur wapas ghar chala gaya. Ussko laga ke yeh impossible hai usski buss ki baat nahin…..

Sunil ka khat aya ke ussko Ruhi ne kuch nahin bataya. Koyi jawaab nahin diya diaries ke baare mein puchne par bhi.

Ruhi ka ghar, desh ke east mein tha. aur jiss jagah last time 1 mahine ke liye Abhi ne kaam kiya tha wo bhi east mein hi tha magar 10 kilometres baad mein. Aur ab ek kaam mila tha aur ek mahine ke liye saeed ke saath hi jo east mein tha magar iss baar Ruhi ke ghar se 10 kilometres pehle.

To wahan Abhi ne kaam shuru kiya aur Khushi ki baat yeh thi ke Sunil hi uss bus ki painting ke liye aya tha.

Aur ab baat chali Abhi ki di hui diaries ki. Yeh baat saeed ko bhi pata chal chuka tha. Saeed ne Abhi se kaha,

“Mehboob mujhse mila tha aur ghussa tha ke tumne usske ghar jaakar usski wife ko kuch diya tha Ruhi ko dene ke liye!!”

Abhi ko shock laga!

Update 45 State Of Mind Of Abhi & The Diaries​

March ka mahina ab jaa chuka tha.

Abhi ke seene ab bhi dard baaki tha. Usske khayaalon mein ab bhi Ruhi bassi hui thi. Ab bhi wo uss aangan mein guzaare hue ek ek pal ko yaad karta tha.

Aaj, Abhi unn palon ko yaad kar raha tha jiss din ko Ruhi ne ussko lunch ke liye invite kiya tha jab usski maa usske nani ke ghar gayi thi. Abhi yaad kar raha tha kiss tarah Ruhi ke baalon se paani ke katre tapak rahe the, kiss tarah Abhi ne usske gardan ke piche apne naak laga kar ussko sungha tha aur Abhi ab bhi wo khusbhoo mehsoos kar sakta tha. Abhi yaad kar raha tha ke uss din ussne Ruhi ke kiss kiss ang ko chuua aur chuma tha, kahan kahan usska jism Ruhi ke jism se satta tha, raghda tha…. Ruhi ki baahein kiss tarah se Abhi ke kaandhe se hokar usske peeth par hua tha aur kiss taaqat se Ruhi ne Abhi ko jakra tha uss pal ko…. Abhi ko Ruhi ki jism ki khusbhoo bahot passand tha, wo usski khushbhoo ab bhi mehsoos karta tha, wo kissi aur mein nahin ho sakta, wo sirf Ruhi mein hi paaye jaa sakta tha…..

Abhi ne diary mein likha;

“She is still fresh in my mind despite almost 3 months have elapsed. She is still present in my heart and head. I can’t forget her, every day, every moment, every second she is here, around me. She is residing in my heart. She has made a home, a room for her deep inside my heart. I can still smell her fragrance.”

Abhi ne socha ke ab tak usski mangni ho chuki hoti aur aaj wo cigarette nahin pee raha hota. Magar iss waqt sab ulta tha, pehle 10 se 15 cigarettes peeta tha aur ab 30 se 40 peeta hai jabse Ruhi se juda hua hai. Yeh tha natija pyar ka Abhi ne khud se kaha.

Unn dinon VHS tape par video dekhe jaate the. Aur har nayi film jo release hota tha usska ek copy pehle market mein mil jata tha. To uss roz Abhi ne video club se ek nai movie rent kiya aur ghar mein sabke saath milkar dekha movie ko magar film ke dauraan bahut roya kyunke uss mein hero heroine juda ho gaye the aur gaane bhi aise the judaayi ke, ke Abhi se saha nah gaya.

Abhi khud se naraaz hote hue kehta,

“sala kyun main mili uss se? kyun main ne ussko dekha pehli baar? Kyun main ne ek taraf nahin dekha? Kyun Mehboob ne uss bus ko uthaya tha jangal se? kyun saeed mujhse milne aya tha uss kaam ke liye? Kyun main wahan gaya? Mujhe jana hi nahin chahiye tha, nah Ruhi ko dekhta, nah yeh sab hota, aaj main araam se, ghumta firta…. Ab dekho haal aisa ho gaya hai ke ghar ke nah ghat ke… itna dukh, itna gham, jiya nahin jata… paagal ho jaunga main!! Kaise ussko apne zehen se nikalun? Kaise usske chehre ko bhulaun? Kaise unn dhai mahinon ko apne memory se delete karun?! Nah Mehboob ne bus laya hota, nah main wahan kaam karne jata, nah mujhe Ruhi se pyar hota, aur nah aaj main iss haal mein hota!! KYUN? KYUN RUHI MERI ZINDAGI MEIN AAYI? KYUN MERI LIFE KO BARBAAD KARNE AAYI MERI LIFE MEIN WO??!”

Abhi ko bilkool chain aur sukoon nahin tha. Soch raha tha ke 3 mahine beet chuke hein aur abhi tak usska wohi haal hai to ussko khud dar lagne laga tha ke kahin depression mein nah chala jaaye…

Abhi ne dusre ladkiyon ke taraf dekhna hi band kar diya tha ab. Jiss din se Ruhi ke aangan se nikla kissi dusre ladki ke taraf dekhta hi nahin tha…. wo sochta ke ab sare ladkiyan Ruhi jaisi hi hogi…. Khud mein himmat nahin, aur pyar karne chali…. Sab dhoke dene wale honge Abhi sochta… to wo dobara aise gham nahin jhelna chahta…. To door rehta…. Ek nafrat si ho gayi thi jawaan ladkiyon se ussko… wo sochne laga tha ke sab wohi karenge jo Ruhi ne kiya usske saath…. Magar kab tak? Kehte hein nah doobte ko tinke ka sahare ki zaroorat bhi padta hai…. To kia pata wo tinka ajaaye Abhi ki zindagi mein achaanak?

Abhi aksar yeh bhi sochta rehta ke Ruhi agar ek virgin nahin hai to Ruhi ko Abhi ke taraf aur bhi ziada jhukna chahiye tha, kyunke Abhi ussko phir bhi accept kar raha tha aur phir bhi ussko pyar karta tha. Ruhi ko Abhi ki ziada zaroorat hona chahiye tha, magar sab ulta kyun hua tha?

Abhi kabhi kabhi gehraayi se sochta ke kia hua hoga Ruhi ke saath? Kiss ke saath sex kiya hoga jo virgin nahin thi? Kyun Ruhi ne pehle pucha tha ke usski ghalatiyon ko Abhi maaf kar sakta hai? Kia kissi se pyar karti hogi aur uss shakhs ne Ruhi ko behla phussla kar sex kiya aur chorr gaya ussko kissi aur ke liye? Kia kissi shadi shuda aadmi se sex kiya hoga? Kia kissi ne usska rape kiya hoga? Abhi yeh sab sochte hue yeh bhi sochne laga ke kia koyi incestuous relation raha hoga? Kiss ke saath Manoj ke saath? Nahin aisa nahin ho sakta….wo Abhi ko dikh jata agar weisa hota hota to…. Yeh sab soch soch kar Abhi apna sar khapa raha tha…..

Iss gaane ko suna Abhi ne aur kaha ke yeh Ruhi ko Abhi se kehna chahiye tha;

“Aap ki nazron be samjha pyar ki kaabil mujhe

Dil ki aye dhadkan sambhal ja mil gayi manzil mujhe…

Ji hamein Manzoor hai aap ka yeh faisla

Keh rahi hai har nazar banda parvar shukriya

Hanss ke apni zindagi mein kar liya shaamil mujhe

Aap ki nazron ne samjha pyar ki kaabil mujhe….”

Ruhi ko Abhi ka shukra guzaar hona chahiye the ke Abhi ne uss se pyar kiya, usski khaamiyan ke bawajud uss se pyar kiya. Magar Ruhi ne ussko thukraya tha….. aisa kyun hua? Abhi yeh sab sochta tanhaayi mein, jab bhi akela hota to buss yehi sab sochta rehta… khud se kehta ke agar Ruhi aur wo ek nahin ho sake to iss mein loss Ruhi ki hui thi Abhi ki nahin, iss mein khone wali Ruhi thi Abhi nahin…..

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

Jab Saeed ne Abhi se kaha ke Mehboob naraz tha kyunke ussne kuch chorra tha usske wife ke paas to Abhi ne ziada jaanne ki koshish ki, magar Saeed ne kaha ke Mehboob khud Abhi se milne aega iss silsile mein kissi din, kyunke mehbob ko pata tha ke iss waqt weh log kahan kaam kar rahe hein….weise har bus owner ek dusre ko jaante pehchaante the uss ilaake mein.

Aur jab Sunil aya wahan kaam karne to Abhi ne uss baare mein baat kiya Sunil se. Ab sunil kyunke wahin ka rehne wala tha aur uss aangan mein sab ussko jaante the to wo kabhi bhi wahan jaata tha aur kissi ko koyi eitraz nahin tha iss liye Sunil ko Abhi ne bheja Rahima se milkar iss baare mein puchne ke liye ke kia Ruhi ne diaries padhi ya nahin.

Teen din baad Sunil ne Abhi ko yeh bataya:

Sunil: “Abhi main wahan jaa raha tha magar Reza ne mujhe jaane se mana kiya kyunke wahan par jiss din tumne diary chorra tha uss din Manoj ghar par tha aur ussne dekha tha tujhe ghar ke andar se….. ussi din shaam ko Mehboob ko sab pata chal gaya tha aur tumhare diaries sab ab bhi Mehboob ke ghar par hai. Wo Ruhi ko mile hi nahin!!”

Abhi ko zabardast jhatla laga yeh sun kar… phir bhi ussne Sunil se kaha,

“Are bhai tumne uss Reza ki baat par yakeen kiya? Kyun? Tujhe khud jaakar Rahima se sach ka pata lagana chahiye tha yaar!! Kia yaar sunil?!”

Sunil: “magar Abhi wahan donon gharon mein bada tension hai iss wajah se… Mehboob ko Ruhi ki maa, Manoj aur Ruhi ke pita bura bhala keh rahe hein kyunke usski wajah se tu Ruhi se mila, aur uski wife tera help kar rahi hai Ruhi ko tere diaries dene ke liye to bada problem hua tha uss aangan mein iss baat ko lekar, to main ne socha ke ab agar main bhi gaya wahan to kahin weh log ab mujh par bhi kahin ungli nah uthaane lage yaar!!”

Abhi kuch der khamosh raha aur sunil ne ek baat bataayi Abhi ko.

Sunil: “kia tujhe pata hai ke Mehboob ki wife ussko chorr kar kissi aur ke saath bhag gayi thi jab Farzina 2 saal ki thi?!”

Abhi ko shock laga aur kaha ke ussko bilkool kuch bhi nahin pata tha iss baare mein!

Tab sunil ne ussko bataya ke Rahima kitni hot aur sexy aurat hai, kitni gori aur khub surat hai aur jab usska ghar ban raha tha concrete wala jo abhi hai uss macon ke sath chakar chalne laga tha Rahima ki, jitney dinon tak wo ghar bana tha utne dinon tak Rahima aur Uss macon ke bich sex hota raha aur ghar ban gaya to Rahima bhaag gayi thi usske saath…. Baad mein saare uss aangan ke mard gaye the uss macon ke yahan bahot ladaayi hui thi aur whan se Rahima ko wapas lekar aaya tha Mehboob….. Ab soch tu bhi kuch weisa hi Ruhi se pyar karne laga aur Rahima black listed hai aise case mein aur ab wo tera help kar rahi hai to issue to hoga hi nah? Ruhi ki maa Rahima ko gali de rahi thi ke kia ussne Ruhi ko apni jaisi samajh rakha hai ke kissi ghair mard ke saath usski beti ko bhagaane ki koshish mein hai!!”

Abhi ko jhatka pe jhatka lag raha tha…… ab Abhi ne yaad kiya ke jab ek din wo Rahima se baat kar raha tha subha ko jab Rahima nighty mein thi aur sleeveless usski baazu dikhe the Ruhi ko usski kitchen se to kiss tarah se Ruhi Abhi se ruth gayi thi, aur Abhi samjha tha ke Ruhi jalan ki vajah se uss se ruthi thi… aur Abhi ko yaad aya ke uss roz khidki ke paas Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha tha ke wo uss Rahima se door rahe, wo achi aurat nahin hai….. to ab Abhi sab samajh raha tha ke kyun Ruhi ne uss se weisa kaha tha uss din!!

Sunil khamosh ho gaya tab Abhi ne phir sunil ko wahan jaakar Rahima se puchne ko kaha, aur sunil ne kaha okay aaj shaam ko hi jaega aur kal Abhi ko pakka khabar dega.

Dusre din jab sunil kaam par mila to Abhi ne pucha kia hua, to sunil hanss raha tha. Ussko hansste dekh kar Abhi ka hausla badha aur jaldi bataane ko kaha tab sunil ne bataya;

“Yaar jiss din tumne diaries diya tha Rahima ko sach mein uss din Manoj ghar par hi tha Rahima ne mujhe bataya…. Kuch ghanton baad, manoj ke ghar se nikal jaane par, Ruhi khud gayi thi Rahima ke ghar uss se milne kyunke Ruhi ne bhi tujhko dekha tha ke tu aya tha wahan, to Ruhi puchne gayi thi ke tu kyun aya tha…. Ruhi ko pakka yakeen tha ke tu ussi ke liye aya hoga. Rahima ne mujhse kaha ke Ruhi tujhse bahot pyar karti hai magar apni maa aur bhai se darrti hai.”

Abhi ne sunil ke baat ko katte hue kaha,

“Mujhe pata hai yaar wo mujhse behad pyar karti hai, magar tu yeh to bata diaries padha Ruhi ne ya nahin?!”.

Sunil: “yaar Rahima ne mujhse kaha ke tujhko sorry kaha hai ussne, ussne apni best kiya aur Ruhi ko tere diaries de diya tha ussne, Ruhi bahot khush hui thi aur hanss rahi thi khushi se ke tumne usske liye kuch bheja hai….… tumne shayad koyi gift bhi dala tha envelope mein Rahima ne kaha ke Ruhi ne uss wrapped gift ko envelope se usske saamne nikala aur apni dress ke jeb mein rakh liya, aur diaries ko envelope sameth apne seene se lagaa kar apne ghar chali gayi Rahima ko thank karte hue aur yeh bhi kehte hue ke kissi ko nahin batane ko ke Abhi ne usske liye kuch diya hai.

Magar apne ghar mein jab Abhi tere diary padhne lagi – pata nahin kitna padhi thi ke usski maa ne usske haath se diaries ko chhina aur Manoj ko de diya…. Aur teri diaries ko Manoj ne padha, pura….. tab Mehboob ko wapas karne gaya Rahima ko sunaate hue, tabhi sab mein ladaayi hui ke kyun Rahima intermediate ka kaam kakr rahi hai Ruhi aur tere beech….”

Abhi bilkool chup ho gaya sab sunkar, sar jhuka liya aur usske aankhen bhar aayr to Sunil ne kaha,

“Yaar Rahima ne kaha ke Ruhi tujhse behad pyar karti hai, ussne to mujhse kaha ke tujhe aakar ussko utha lena chahiye usske ghar se, jaise tu taxi mein aya tha, apne doston ko lekar ana, usski ghar mein ghuss ke Ruhi ko utha lejana! Pakka Ruhi jaegi tere saath”

Abhi sochne laga ke Ruhi ki maa kiss kissam ki aurat hai, jab Abhi wahan kaam karta tha tab Ruhi ke sath rehne deti thi aur jo bhi Abhi Ruhi ko deta to lene deti thi aur ab diaries chhin liya Ruhi se, kia diary mein bomb tha jo phat jata? kyun chhina ussne diary ko Ruhi se? kyun nahin padhne diya usse?!

Sunil ne kaha,

“Aur ab diaries Mehboob ke ghar hai aur wo kissi din Saeed ko dega aur saeed tujhko wapas karega…..”

Abhi ne socha ke chalo itna to akkal hai unn logon mein ke diaries ko aag nahin lagaya unn logon ne aur diaries Abhi ko sahi salaamat wapas mil jaega…..

Update 46 Abhi Got back The Diaries & He Does Things​

Kayi dinon se Sunil, Tony aur baaki ke log Abhi se apne daadhi shave karne ko kehte rahe the, sab uss se kehte ke wo clean shaven kitna handsome dikhta hai aur wo daadhi uss par bilkool suit nahin karta dangerous look banta tha usske uss daadhi se…. magar Abhi ne shave nahin kiya 6 mahine ho chuke the.

Dusre din Saeed ko jana tha Mehboob se milne kissi kaam se to Abhi ne ussko kaha ke usska parcel lekar ajaye Mehboob se. Saeed ne kaha thik hai aur chala gaya.

Saeed ke jaane ke baad Sunil ne Abhi se pucha,

“kia tu ekaat doston ke saath Ruhi ko utha nahin sakta sach mein jaise Rahima ne kaha?”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue jawaab diya,

“Sunil bhai, mujhe kissi ki bhi zaroorat nahin Ruhi ko uthaane ke liye, ek to bahot halki hai wo kayi baar utha chuka hoon ussko…. Aur mujhe koyi nahin chahiye agar ussko usske ghar se uthana pade to. Main akele kaafi hoon ussko utha ke ek taxi mein bithane ke liye…. Din mein agar kabhi wahan jaun to wo aur usski ma akeli rehti hai ghar mein, agar koyi mard hoga bhi to uss ghar ka koyi mard mere mukable khada nahin ho sakta, koyi mujhko rok hi nahin paega, mera ek laat ya ek mukka kafi hoga unn teenon ko niche leytaane ke liye….. Magar bhai main weisa karna nahin chahta, main chahta hoon ke Ruhi khud mere paas aaye…. Main chahta hoon Ruhi mujhe wo taaqat dikhaaye, wo mujhko prove kare ke wo mujhko pyar karti hai aur uss mein wo himmat hai mere paas aane ke liye…..”

Sunil: “Bhai Ruhi mein wo taaqat nahin hai, wo kamseen hai, wo aisa nahin kar paegi”

Abhi: “pata hai bhai…. Jiss din main Rahima ko diaries dene gaya tha, ussi din, main Ruhi ko usske maa aur baap ke saamne Ruhi ke ghar mein ghuss kar apne saath leja sakta tha…. aur bhai ek baat bataun? Rahima ne aisa kyun kaha bata?”

Sunil: “kyun? Kyun kaha?!”

Abhi: “Bhai tumne bataya ke wo bhaag gayi thi Mehboob ko chorr kar nah? To Ruhi ke family ke saamne Rahima ki naak kat gayi thi uss waqt thik hai, ab Rahima chahti hai ke Ruhi ki maa aur usski family ke naak katte iss liye wo chahti hai ke main weisa karun…. Unnki aapas ki ranjishein hai bhai main usske liye to yeh sab nahin karne wala…..”

Sunil:”are haan yaar main ne aisa nahin socha tha, tu sahi keh raha hai….”

Sunil ne yeh bhi kaha tab,

“Aur haan kal batana bhool gaya tha tujhe ke Rahima ne yeh bhi kaha tha ke Ruhi ke dada ji ne kaha tha ke kyun itne dinon tak Ruhi aur Abhi ko ek dusre se ghulne milne diya gaya tha, kyun donon ko chhup chhup kar milne deti thi usski maa, aur ab kyun inkaar kar rahi hai, donon ke shaadi kar deni chahiye….”

Abhi: “mujhe pata hai ussko koyi eitraz nahin tha, jiss din mujhe Manoj ne ghar se nikalne ko kaha tha ussi din budhe ne meri shadi Ruhi se karwane ke liye kaha tha, main ne suna tha jab main nikal raha tha wahan se….”

Sunil: “Yaar Ruhi ki maa ko tera kaam passand nahin aur wo samajhti hai yeh kaam permanent nahin hai aur aise kaam se tu ek pura jiwan nahin bita paega, biwi bache nahin paal paega, ussko bade post wale damaad chahiye shayad, ussko paise wala damaad chahiye Ruhi ke liye, main to yehi samjha, Rahima ne bhi yehi kaha tha, aur sach mein Ruhi ki maa aisi hi hai, laalchi hai paison ki aur Ruhi ko bi shaayad weisa hi bana rahi hai ussko bade bade sapne dikhati hogi, ussko amir aadmi se shaadi karne ko kehti hai Rahima ne bataya tha…. Aur mere saath bhi to wohi kiya tha nah unn logon ne bhai!!”

Abhi thodi der soch mein dooba raha phir Sunil se kaha,

“Main kuch aisa karke dikhaunga ke Ruhi ki maa aur Ruhi pachtaegi ek din, tu dekh lena, tu bhi dekhega Sunil…. Main kuch banke dikhaunga unn logon ko!”

Sunil:”kia karega tu Abhi?”

Abhi: “Waqt aane par dekh lena Sunil, abhi kuch nahin bata sakta main tujhe….”

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

Koyi ek ghante baad Saeed aya to dhapadaate hue Abhi gaya usske paas apne diaries lene magar saeed ne kaha,

“Nahin diya Mehboob ne mujhe. Ussne kaha wo khud tumko lautaane aega kyunke uskso tujh se kuch baatein kehni hai… wo ekaat din mein aega idhar tujhse milne tab dega tujhko tere diaries!”

Aur kuch der baad Saeed ne bhi Abhi se baat kiya aur kaha ke Ruhi ki maa ek buri aurat hai ussko bilkool trust nahin kiya jaa sakta. Yeh saeed ne iss liye kaha kyunke jab wo Mehboob se milne gaya tha to Ruhi ki maa ne uss se kuch baat kiye the ke Saeed ko kehna para ke wo bharose karne layak aurat nahin hai.

To Abhi ne pucha kia ussne Ruhi ko bhi dekha wahan.

Saeed ne kaha haan wo bhi apni maa ke saath hi thi.

Aur usske pita ke baare mein pucha to sunil ne kaha ke wo January mein hi wapas S.Arabia chala gaya.

Tab Abhi ne kaha,

“Sala sab ne kaha tha kitna achcha insaan hai; madarchod jhuta hai mujhse kaha tha ke apni beti ko saath lekar jayega!”

Aur Sunil ne phir se kaha,

“Abhi ab jaa shave karle ab, kyun usske liye daadhi chorra hai tumne? Devdaas jaisa look bana rakha hai, jab usske gharwale sab khilaaf hai to bhool ja usse aur kal main tumko clean shaven dekhna chahta hoon!”

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

Aur kuch dinon baad, uss jagah par kaam ka last din tha, aur Mehboob ka bus ruka jahan Abhi aur team kaam kar rahe the. Abhi kissi kaam mein busy tha ussne nahin dekha, to tony ne kaha,

“hey Abhi dekh Mehboob ki bus……”

Mehbob driving wheel pr baitha raha aur Reza bus se utar ka aya Abhi ko bulaane. Jab Abhi gaya bus ke paas….. pehle to Abhi bus ko chaaron taraf dekhne laga, uss bus mein Ruhi ki bahot saare yaadein jude hue the Abhi ke liye…. Abhi ka dil zoron se dhadka, uss bus ko dekh kar…. Abhi buss ke andar ghussa, Mehbob uss se baat karta raha magar Abhi bus ke andar uss hisse mein gaya jahan se wo Ruhi ko apne khidki ya washing stone ke paas dekha karta tha aur udhar se Ruhi ussko jeeb se chidhata tha….. bus ke uss hisse mein Abhi ko ek sukoon sa haasil hua, aur baahar dekha to aisa mehsoos hua ke baahar Ruhi dikhegi ussko…. Magar koyi nahin tha….. tab Abhi ne khud se kaha, ‘sab kuch badal gaya hai, ab yeh bus wo nahin raha, sab badal gaye hein, mujhe bhi badal jaana chahiye ab….’

Mehboob se mila usske baad aur Mehboob ne ussko wo grey envelope dete hue kaha,

“Abhi tu yeh mere ghar chorr aya tha, tumhare amaanat wapas kar raha hoon tujhe…”

Abhi ne bina Mehboob ke chehre mein dekhe hue pucha,

“Ruhi ne padha isse? Ye Ruhi ke liye tha!”

Mehboob ne kaha,

“Abhi agar tujhko Ruhi ko kuch dena hai to tum usske ghar jao, ussko do? Mere ghar kyun gaye aur meri wife ko kyun diya tumne? Tujhe pata hai isske liye donon families mein kitne problems hue Abhi? Bachon jaisa kaam mat kiya karo Abhi, yeh bilkool sahi nahin hai. Aayinda agar kuch udhar dena ho to jao main tumko wahan jaane se mana nahin kar raha, jab chaho jao, Ruhi se milo. Ye wo jaane aur usske parents mujhe koyi lena dena nahin hai, magar usski chizon ko mere ghar par mat chorrna phir kabhi… iss baar lauta raha hoon agli baar jala ke raakh kar dunga….!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Bolna mujhe bhi ata hai Mehboob, agar bolna shuru kiya to tere paas bolne ke liye kuch nahin bachega, start karega aur accelator dabayega…..”

Mehboob: “Are wah ek to chori upar se seena zori! Abhi tu agar chahe to mere ghar bhi aa sakta hai, mere ghar tu aaye to mujhse milne, rahima se milne ya Farzinah se milne to thik hai, ek lagao ho gayi hai main samajhta hoon, Farzina aur Rahima donon tumko passand karte hein okay thik hai unn se milo mujhe koyi aapatti nahin, magar Ruhi ki koyi bhi chiz unn logon ke paas nahin chorrne ka…. Umeed hai ke tum samajh gaye….”

Abhi: “nahin baat khatam ab kabhi bhi kuch bhi nahin chorrna kissi ke paas, aur uss aagan mein jana hi nahin kabhi mujhe ab jaa tu befikar reh nahin aunga ab kabhi bhi udhar, jaa, chorr diya uss gali ko main ne hamesha ke liye!”

Mehboob chala gaya….. Abhi envelope lekar andar gaya jiss bus mein kaam kar raha tha uss mein, jaldi se envelope se diaries nikala, do diaries the 200 pages ke, matlab 400 pages ka likha hua tha Abhi ne…. Abhi jaldi jaldi pannon ko ulath pulath karke dhundne laga kahin Ruhi ne kuch likha hoga… magar kuch nahin dikha….. aur HAAN ABHI KHUSH HUA KE RUHI NE PERFUME RAKH LIYE THE…. SIRF RAHIMA KO PATA THA KE EK GIFT THA JO RUHI NE APNE JEB MEIN RAKHA THA…. KISSI KO USSKE BAARE MEIN NAHIN PATA THA, MATLAB RUHI NE ABHI KA DIYA HUA PERFUME APNE PAAS HI RAKHA….!

Abhi bahut kush hua kyunke Ruhi ne usski di hui ek tohfa to apne paas rakha! Wo “Soir De Paris” “Bourgeois” wala bahot mehnga perfume…. Abhi pir khayaalon mein kho gaya sochte hue jiss din ko Ruhi ne pucha tha uss se ke kia perfume use karte ho aap kitni achi smell arahi hai….. tabhi Abhi ne ussko kaha tha ke ek din wo usske liye wo perfume kharidega…. Aur wo kharid liya Abhi ne aur de bhi diya Ruhi ko….. Abhi yeh bhi sochne laga ke jiss waqt Ruhi ne wo perfume liya hoga, sungha hoga to uss se Ruhi ko Abhi ki yaad zaroor aayi hogi… usskko yaad aya hoga kiss din ko Abhi ne uss se kaha tha ke wo usske liye wo perfume kharidega….. matlab udhar Ruhi bhi Abhi ko ab, tab tak sochegi jab tak uss perfume ko use karegi….. Abhi iss baat se bahot khush tha.

Uss din ghar wapas jaane ke baad Abhi ne phir se diaries ke har ek panne ko ghuma kar dhunda ke kahin Ruhi ne kuch likha to nahin hoga… magar ussko kuch nahin mila…. Aur Abhi ne apni daily diary mein ab likha kiss date ko usko Ruhi ko di hui diaries wapas mili….

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

Kuch din baad Abhi phir gaya milne Samioullah broker se. aur uss se ussne bade board of director ka pata liya aur uss se milne gaya….. Abhi apne saath tamaam unn buss ki photos legaya dikhaane ke liye.

Director se mila aur samjhaya ke wo us company ko reopen karwana chahta hai, ussko experience hai aur wo company ko chala paega.

Director ne itna jawaan ladke ko itna door ki sochne ke liye badhaiyan diye aur kaha ke kum se kum half crore hona chahiye usske paas start karne ke liye, ussko aadha crore deposit karna hoga tab wo usske haq mein baat karega executive members se.

Abhi ne samjhaya ke usske paas utna paisa nahin hai aur director se hi kaha ussko raasta dikhaane ke liye ke ussko kia karna chahiye aur kaise ussko half core mil sakta hai.

Director ne kaha ke bank se loan lena padega, bank ussko half crore de dega jissko wo 15 saal ke andar repay karega kiston mein…

Abhi ne director se saare raaste puche ke kia kia karna padega kahan kahaan haat laat maarna hoga uss sapne ko pura karne ke liye…

Director Abhi ke madad karne ke liye tayyaar tha iss liye ke wo Director young entrepreneurs ko promote karta tha, to ek well established business man ko uss company ko chalaane ke bajae Director Abhi ko promote karna ziada passand karta kyunke Abhi naya tha, naya josh, naya khoon aur aage badhne ki chaah dekha tha Director ne Abhi mein….

Last wala raasta tha ke apne baap ki zammen ko bank mein mortgage karna padega tab half crore bank dega company ko start karne ke liye….

Ab Abhi wahan se ghar gaya….. ussko pata nahin tha ke usska baap samjhega bhi aur zameen ko mortgage karne ke liye tayyaar hoga bhi ya nahin…..

Apne baap se baat karne se pehle Abhi ne Naina se kaha,

“Naina tu chahti hai ke main Ruhi ko bhool jaun?”

Naina: “bilkool wohi chahti hoon bhai, kia karna usska, goli maaro nah bhai!”

Abhi: “aur tu chahti hai ke main shave karun?!”

Naina khush hote hue, Abhi ke chehre mein hansste hue dekhte hue kaha,

“chhee bilkool acha nahin lagta yeh daadhi tum par bhai, shave kakro nah, 5th Januray ke baad shave nahin kiye ho!”

Aur Abhi gaya aine ke saamne, shaving foam lagaya aur shave karne ke baad Naina ke saamne aya…..

Naina Khushi se jhoom uthi aur zor se thumke lagaate hue kaha,

“Mera bhai thik ho gaya ab lag raha hai mera bhai, normal pehle ki tarah….. woohoo!!!

Kia abhi ne sach mein Ruhi ko dil se nikaal diya? Ya sirf apne ghawalon ke liye, doston ke liye normal dikhne ke liye aisa kar raha tha? kia sach mein wo apne dil se Ruhi ko mita paega? Yeh waqt bataega ek din.

Update 47 The New Penfriend - Navina​

Abhi ne pichle 2 Mahinon se kissi bhi penfriends ko reply nahin kiya tha. sabke 2 ya teen repeat letter aa chuke the. To ek subha ko Abhi ne sabko reply karne ko socha aur baith kar sabko sorry kaha aur replies likh kar post kiya.

Abhi har roz ek newspaper kharidta tha bina miss kiye. Aur uss din jab post office se sabke letters post karke wapas ghar aya to papers padh raha tha ke penfriends corner mein kuch nayi ladkiyon ke naam dekha, unn mein do local ladkiyon ko likha Abhi ne. unn mein se ek east ki rehne wali thi, Ruhi ke ghar se 10 kilometres door. Ladki ka naam tha Namita aur ek ka Naam tha Nausheen jo desh ki north se thi. Donon ko ek ek introduction wala letter post kiya Abhi ne. Of course, wo sirf English mein khat likhta tha.

Normally within a week replies aa jaate the hamesha aur Nausheen ke taraf se reply agaya tha 4 din baad magar Namita ke taraf se koyi jawaab nahin aya.

Teen hafte guzar gaye aur Nausheen aur Abhi ki dosti ho gayi, 3 hafton mein 10 se ziada letters aa chuke the Abhi ke paas Nausheen ke taraf se. Magar Namita ka koyi reply nahin aya to Abhi samajh gaya ke Namita ko bahot saare ladkon ke khat aaye honge iss liye ussko apne passand ki saathi mil gayi hogi, to ussne Namita ko ignore kiya.

Magar 2 din baad Abhi ko ek khat mila jissko kissi Navina ne likha tha. Abhi ko heyraani hui ke yeh kaun hai, issko to nahin likha tha main ne…..

English mein likha gaya tha khat, khubsurat handwriting thi, aur uss mein likha tha ke wo Namita ki behen hai, Namita ko bahot saare khat aaye hein iss liye wo Abhi se dosti karna chahti hai. Abhi ne ussko reply kiya.

2 din baad usski reply agayi. Abhi ne phir reply kiya phir 2 din baad usski reply agayi….. jabse Abhi penfriendship karta tha yeh pehli baar aisa hua tha ke do din ke baad koyi ussko reply post kar deti thi….

Abhi ne uss se aur jaankaari jaana chaha ke kaise ussne Namita ki jagah ussko reply kiya aur kia Namita naraaz nahin hui? To Navina ne reply mein yah kaha,

“In fact, we quarrelled over your letter. That is why you got a response after several weeks. Namita is my little sister, I am a year older than her. She had got over 60 letters. We used to share reading and we make fun of the way of writing of the boys. Some do not even know how to write a letter, they write nonsense. So, we were rejecting most of them, the letters were going in the dustbin which Namita would never reply to, and those she liked were kept. And your letter came in my hand, I read it, was impressed by your language and beauty of writing and expressing yourself. When we finished with all, I told her I will reply to this one. She objected and wanted to read your letter, but I refused to give it to her, but she got furious and snatched your letter from me. She read your letter and told me,

“You keep the best for you and all garbages comes to me, why you did not show me this one? He has written to me not to you, so I will reply him!”

Then I turned my face with her and we went to sleep. I so much wanted to correspond with you, that I wished you were my penfriend. I thought the next day she had replied you, I did not know she had not replied. After a week I found your letter on my table. I asked her why that letter was on my table and she told me,

“tum ussko likhne wali thi nah to likho!”

I told her no I will not, keep her penfriends for herself. So, three weeks neither she replied you nor I and finally I decided to write to you. This is how we are now penfriends….. I use to share the reading of your letters with her and she jealously says,

“kitna achcha likhta hai yeh, isski English kitni achchi hai, kitna acha express karta hai, yeh aaj mera penfriend hota nah!”

And I thought she will take back your letters at that moment…. But she did not so we remain friends. Abhi I love your way of writing, your English is so good and you write beautifully that I wish I could read from you every day.

”

Abhi ne jab yeh sab padha Navina ke khat mein to agle din ussko express delivery send kiya jo ussi din Navina ko mili aur Navina ne bhi Abhi ko express delivery send kiya jo dusre din Abhi ko mila aur yeh sislsila jaari raha donon ke beech. Ek dusre ko har roz donon letters likhte, aur express post karte, matlab har roz bina miss kiye donon ko ek dusre ke taraf se khat milte….. ek dusre ko har roz khat ka intezaar rehta….. sirf Weekends mein khat nahin aate the Monday se Friday tak har roz ek letter milte donon ko…..

Aur dhire dhire 2/3 pages ke badle 10 se 15 pages ke letter aane jaane lage ek dusre ko… aur iss tarah Abhi ne Ruhi ke baare mein bata diya Navina ko aur apne diaries ki baat kiye letter mein Abhi ne Navina se… to Navina ne unn diaries ko padhne ki khwahish ki….

Donon ne ek dusre ko apne photos bhi send kiye…. To Abhi ne Navina se milne ki farmaayish kiya, Navina ne agree kiya aur donon pehli baar mile ussi sheher mein jahan Ruhi ki chachi ki super market tha.

Aur milne ke baad Abhi ne Navina ko wo diaries diye jo ussne Ruhi ko diya tha….

Navina Ruhi se bhi chhoti thi kad mein aur Ruhi jitna khubsurat nahin thi. Magar Navina ki khubsurti usske dil ke andar thi aur usski dimaagh ke andar thi…… Navina ek graduated teacher thi, English padhaati thi college mein. Aur issi liye jab Navina Abhi ke letter padhti thi to ek bhi English mistake nahin dikhta tha ussko is vajah se Navina impress hui thi Abhi ke letter writing se.

Jiss din donon pehli baar mile the to sirf 45 mins ek saath the, ek café mein gaye, baithe, thodi der baat kiye, Abhi ne ussko diaries diye aur donon wapas apne apne ghar chale gaye ek dusre ko weise hi express letter send karne ki promise karte hue.

Navina ne jab Abhi ke donon diaries padhe to wo bahot royi. Der ghante mein sab kuch padh liya Navina ne. Abhi ke diaries padhne ke baad Navina samajh gayi ke Abhi ek true lover hai aur Navina ko aisa hi koyi pyar karne wala chahiye tha…. Navina ko Abhi se pyar ho gaya. Navina ne Abhi ko turant likha aur keh diya ke complete diaries padh liya ussne aur bahot royi, aur apni opinion likha Abhi ko ussne….. magar nahin kaha ke ussko Abhi se pyar ho gaya… to agle hafte phir se milne ka plan banaya donon ne kyuke Navina ko Abhi ke diaries wapas karne the…. To donon agle weekend ko phir mile ussi sheher mein. Ussi café mein.

Navina bahot achchi thi, had se ziada achchi. Nek, narm dil, pyar aur araam se baat karne wali, aur uss mein khaas baat yeh thi ke wo bahot dhyaan se sunti thi. Shaayd teacher thi iss liye ussko sunna aata tha. bahot caring thi aur loving bhi. Abhi ussko dost manta tha, magar kyunke Ruhi ki dairies ko Navina ne full padh liya tha to Navina ko Abhi ke baare mein sab kuch pata chal chuka tha ke wo kaisa hai, kitna emotional hai, kitna ghussa hai, etc…. Abhi ki character, personality sab ka pata chal gaya tha Navina ko…. Abhi ne apni diary mein ek jagah last pages mein Ruhi se alag hone aur diary wapas milne ke baad, jab Abhi ne shave kar liya tha tab yeh likha tha diary mein:

Tu hai harjaayi to apna bhi yehi taur sahi

Tu nahin aur sahi, aur nahin, aur sahi

Badi lambi hai zameen

Milenge laakh haseen

Iss zamaane mein sanam

Tu akela hi nahin

Yahan par Navina ne niche likha tha “YOU ARE RIGHT ABHI”

Ye ghar wapas ghar jaane ke baad Abhi ne dekha tha, kyunke Navina ne ek khat haath mein diya tha Abhi ko jiss din donon mile the, post karne ke bajae kyunke weekend tha to ek dusre ko haath mein khat diye the donon ne aur uss khat mein Navina ne likh diya tha ke kiss kiss page par ussne apne comment likhe hue hein, iss tarah se Abhi ki dairy mein kayi jagahon par Navina ke handwriting paaye gaye….. Navina ke baad Abhi ne kabhi bhi life mein kissi aur ko wo diaries nahin diye….. kyunke Navina Abhi ki wife ban gayi 2 saal baad. Magar Abhi ki wife banne se pehle 2 saalon mein bahot kuch hua. Wo agle update mein pata chalega.

To be continued……

Update 48 Abhi Trying To Get The land Mortgaged​

Jab Abhi ne apne pita se zameen ko mortgage karne wali baat kiya to usske pita ne saaf inkaar kiya, ussne kaha,

“Mera zameen sirf mera nahin hai beta, yeh tum sab bhai behnon ke hein iss mein sab ka hisssa hai tera bhi hissa hai main ne agar issko girwin rakh diya aur tu udhaar chuka nahin paaya to tere bhai behnon ka kia hoga? Bank wale zameen hadap lenge aur kissi ko kuch nahin milega. Main tere liye apne dusre bachon ka haq to nahin maar sakta nah?”

Abhi ne behez nahin kiya kyunke ussko sahi mein laga ke kahin kuch ulta ho gaya to wo apne chhote bhai aur do behnon ko kia de paayega…. To ussne baap ki zammen wale idea ko drop kiya magar phir bhi bank gaya kuch papers ko Director se lekar uss garage ko reopen karwane ke silsile mein….

Bank ke manager se ghanton bhar baat kiya, saare apne bus banaaye hue pics dikhaya…. Manager impress hua magar surety ke taur par zameen ya kissi bhi property ka hona zaroori tha ussne kaha Abhi se.

Abhi ne manager se kaha ke garage ko hi mortgage kar liya jaaye, usske tamaan machineries, usski zameen, aur building sab….magar manager ne kaha wo to already mortgaged hai nah ussi ko churrwaane ke liye dusri mortgage ki zaroorat hai. Varna Abhi ko loan nahin diya jaa sakta…. Abhi ne manager se pucha kitna zameen chahiye uss value ki mortage ke liye… to manager ne kaha kum se kum aadha acre to hona chahiye.

Abhi udaas lauta bank se aur usske samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia karen kaise karen….. aakhir mein socha ke idea ko drop karen aur apne ghar ke saamne apne khud ka chota sa garage khole aur coach building shuru kare apne khud ka…. Magar usske liye bhi paise chahiye the, aur saare machines kharidne ke liye bhi to paise chahiye, aur socha ke puraane garage ke machineries kharid paayega shaayad kyunke wo sab liquidation par to the hi…..

Abhi raat bhar uss ke baare mein sochta raha…

Aur Navina ko khat likhte waqt inn sab ke baare mein bataya ke wo pareshaan hai kyunke ussko nahin samajh mein araha ke kaise ussko bank se loan mil sakta hai ab….

Abhi Navina se kuch bhi nahin chupata tha, jo bhi apne diary mein likhta sab kuch Navina ko bata deta tha….

Navina ka jawaab aaya dusre din to Abhi dang reh gaya usske khat padh kar!!! Usske aankh bhar aaye aur wo ro pada Navina ke khat padh kar…. Kayi mahinon baad aaj Abhi roya tha…. aaj ke aansoo Ruhi ke liye nahin tha, ek dost ke liye tha, ek aisa dost jo ajnabee thi, koyi Rishta nahin tha usske saath magar Abhi ke madad ke liye tayyaar khadi thi kissi bhi haal mein.

Navina ne likha tha,

“My father has already given me my share of land and it is on my name, I have a little bit more than half an acre of land, if you want I can come to the bank with you to get it mortgaged so that you get the required amount to restart that garage you once worked at!”

Aisa kaun karta hai? Apne bhi nahin karte, aur wo ajnabee thi, sirf khaton ke zarye pehchaan thi uss se. Ussne apne zameen ko girwin rakhne ke liye kaha Abhi se!

Abhi ne inkaar kiya, khat ke jawaab dete hue.

Navina ne reply mein insist kiya ke Abhi ko accept karna chahiye usski help, aur Navina ne Abhi se phir milne ke liye kaha urgently.

Donon phir mile ussi jagah, baat kiye, discuss kiye, Navina apne land ke kaagazaat lekar aayi thi aur Abhi ko dikhaya ke sab legal hein aur usske naam par hai. Abhi usske ehsaanon ke tale dabba rehna nahin passand kar raha tha tab Naina ko kehna pada ke wo Abhi se pyar karti hai shuru se hi aur uss pyar ke liye wo kuch bhi kar sakti hai….. Abhi ko Navina se pyar nahin tha. Magar Abhi ko pata tha pyar ke badle pyar nahin paane se kia beetta hai kyunke wo guzar chuka tha uss gali se…. to ussne Navina ko kuch nahin kaha phir bhi Navina ne khud kaha,

“Main aap se kuch nahin maang rahi hoon apne pyar ke badle… main aap se nahin keh rahi hoon ke aap bhi mujhse pyar karo Abhi… mujhe pata hai aap Ruhi se pyar karte ho, main sirf apni baat kar rahi hoon ke mujhko aap se pyar ho gaya to kia karun? Jaan bujh kar to nahin kiya buss ho gaya… aap ke ek khat ke bina nahin reh sakti, aap ek din mujhe nahin post karo to main bimaar hone lagti hoon, aap ki khabar nahin mile to bechain rehti hoon, mere dil o dimaagh mein sirf aap basse rehte ho, raat din aap ko aur aap ke baare mein sochti hoon…. Yeh pyar nahin to kia hai?!”

Abhi ko shak tha, magar yakeen nahin tha ke Navina uss se pyar karne lagi hai…. Yeh tabhi ho gaya tha jab Navina ne Abhi ki diaries ko padha tha….. jiss tarah se Navina Abhi ko khat likhti hai unn khaton se Abhi ko shak aur darr bhi tha aur aaj Navina ne keh bhi diya…. Aur Abhi nahin chahta tha ke Navina ko wo takliff mile jo Abhi ko mila tha Ruhi se….. To Abhi ne Navina ke pyar ko accept kiya aur donon ke jald mangni ho gaye….. 1987 mein hi….

Mangni ke baad bhi donon ek dusre ko likhte rahe, phir phone lag gaye ghar mein aur ek dusre se raat raat bhar phone par baat karte donon…..

Do saal tak courting chala donon ka aur 1989 mein 10th December ko donon ne shaadi kiye…..

Magar shaadi se bahot pehle, mangni ke baad hi bank se loan mil gaya Abhi ko, Navina ne apne land mortgage karwa diye, aur garage reopen kar diya Abhi ne aur kaam chaalu ho gaya tha garage mein 75% puraane workers wapas agaye the aur bus owners apne busson ko laane lage the garage mein repair ya naya banaane ke liye… kaam mast chalne laga tha aur in do saalon mein Abhi ne Ruhi ko bilkool hi bhula diya tha….. bhula diya tha iss tarah ke kaam aur Navina ke beech Abhi ka pura time nikal jaata tha…. har weekend mein navina ke ghar guzaarta… Saturday shaam jo jata raat bhar Rehta aur Sunday shaam ko ghar wapas ata, phir Monday ko garage chala jata din bhar kaam karta shaam ko ghar ata naha dho kar Navina ko likhta, ya phone par baat karta….. ek minute time nahin tha usske paas kissi aur chiz ke baare mein sochne ke liye….

Kissi din to Navina garage chali aati Abhi se milne jab wo kaam kar raha hota tha sham ko. College to 3 baje end hoti to Navina ghar nahin jaati Abhi ke paas chali aati…..

Weekends mein kabhi donon baahar milte, door ghumne jaate ishk farmaate, jangalon, natural places mein jaate jahan koyi kabhi nahin jaate weise jagahon mein ishk farmaate donon….. pure do daal tak aisa chala donon ke bich….

Navina ke pyar mein Abhi giraftaar ho gaya tha at last aur dhire dhire Navina ke saath rehte hue Abhi ko aakhirkaar uss se pyar ho hi gaya….. kissi ke saath rehte hue, pyar ho hi jata hai, ussko rokna naamumkin hota hai khaas kar agar insaan best ho to…. Navina ek nagina thi, ek angel thi jo aasmaan ne diya tha Abhi ko gift ke taur par…. shaayad aasman ko taras agaya tha Abhi par, usske tute hue dil ko jodne ke liye aasmaan ne Navina ko Abhi ke jholi mein daal diya tha.

Donon khush the, Khushi se jiwan bassar kar rahe the. Navina bahot pyar nichaawar karti thi Abhi par….. Navina ne part time course bhi kiye shaadi ke baad…. Abhi chahta tha ke wo aur aage badhe, to 5 saal part time course karne ke baad Navina ne PGCE ki degree haasil kiye aur teacher ki Naukri barkaraar rakha aur part time lecturer bhi ban gayi university mein. Navina shuru se Abhi se bahot ziada academically qualified thi. Aur Abhi chahta tha ke Navina aur ziada qualified ho.

Utna highly qualified hone ke bawajud Navina ghar mein apne haath se pakati thi aur saare ghar ke kaam khud karti thi, ussko naukrani rakhna passand nahin tha. Ek din bhi aisa nahin hua tha ke donon kabhi baahar kissi restaurant mein khaane ke liye gaye….. hamesha ghar ke khana khaate the donon….

Din bhar Naukri karti Navina, ghar par bahot saare students ke copy books laati correct karne ke liye phir bhi ghar ke saare kaam karti thi. Aur Abhi ka khayal bhi rakhti. Abhi ko ek bhi shikaayat ka mauka nahin mila kabhi Navina se. Perfect wife thi wo.

Laakhon nahin karoron mein ek. Kaise aise insaan se koyi pyar nah karta?

Aur rahi baat Abhi ki to, wo koyi bade boss ki tarah nahin rehta garage mein…. Wo khud kapde badal kar gande kapdon mein subha 7 se shaam 4 baje tak tamaan workers ke saath khud kaam karta. Koyi bhi garage mein ata aur Abhi ko dekhta mazdooron ke bich to samajhta ke wo bhi ek worker hai… jab pata chalta ke wo maalik hai garage ka to sabko shock lagta….

350 log kaam karte the uss garage mein, per day 10 buson mein kaam hote the…. Kabhi kabhi 12 se 15 busson mein bhi kaam hote the… agar Abhi chahta to office mein suit boot pehen kar baitha rehta, mazdooron ke aage piche rehta check karte hue magar nahin ussko apne gande kapdon mein rehkar kaam karna passand tha, tin kaatna, lohe mein drill karna, welding karna, rivet lagana , yeh sab karne mein ussko chain aur sukoon milta tha, bilkool apne tamaam workers ki tarah kaam karta tha…. Saare workers Abhi ke izat karte the, big respect dete the ussko, aur kyunke wo maalik hokar khud kaam karta tha to kissi ki majaal thi jo wo kaam nah kare aur kissi bhi delivery mein deri ho? Iss vajah se Abhi ki garage bada tarraki karne laga tha aur kaam multiply hote jaa raha tha….

Garage ka naam Abhi ne ABRUHI rakha tha

Saamne board par likha hua tha:

ABRUHI COACH BUILDING AND ALLUMINIUM WORKSHOP

Tamaam office papers par logo mein ABRUHI design hota tha. Ek manager, ek secretary aur ek team manager tha office mein. Finance manager khud Abhi tha, aur worker bhi tha, aur khud ko worker ki aur Finance manager ka tankhwa deta tha Abhi.

Update 49 The Progress​

Abhi ne garage open hone ke ek mahine baad ek car le liya tha. Imported Japanese Toyota tha. Ussi mein jaata Navina ke ghar, rehta aur donon ghar par nahin milte to baahar ussi car mein ghumne jaate, aksar seaside par paaye jaate donon weekends mein.

Ab ajeeb baat yeh thi ke Abhi ki destiny shaayad desh ke purab wale hisse se juda hua tha, Ruhi hi udhar se hi thi, Navina bhi udhar ki hi thi, magar do different ilaake se the donon. East jaate hue ek chhota sa sheher tha aur wahan se ek do raha tha, straight jao to Ruhi ke ghar ke saamne se guzarna hota, aur right mudo to Navina ke ilaake ko jaata rasta… magar apne ghar se Abhi nikalta to uss East ke chhote sheher tak jaane ke liye wohi rasta lena padta jo wo leta tha Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf jaane ke liye….

Ab ek mashoor sea side East mein tha aur wahan jaane ke liye Ruhi ke main road se jana hota tha aur ek weekend ko Abhi aur Navina ne uss seaside jaane ko decide kiya…. Navina ko pata tha ke Ruhi ke ilaake se guzarna hoga wahan jaane ke liye, magar ussne ek baat bhi nahin kiya Abhi se uss baare mein… aur jab Abhi drive karte hue wahan se guzra, to Ruhi ki aangan mein dekha tak nahin siddha apna rasta dekhta gaya…. Navina ko pata hi nahin chala ke kidhar Ruhi rehti thi….

Jab samundar kinare donon car se utre tab navina ne pucha,

“Hum Ruhi ke mohalle se guzre the nah Abhi, aap ne mujhe kyun nahin bataya wo kidhar rehti hai? Usska ghar to bata sakte the mujhe at least.”

Abhi ne samundar ke door horizon ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Mujhe khud nahin pata chala ke main kab wahan se guzar gaya!”

Abhi ne jhoot kaha tha, assal mein Abhi chahta tha ke Manoj ya Ruhi ki maa ussko dekhe drive karte hue uss main road par, magar koyi nazar nahin aya tha…. aur Abhi ne sach mein ziada dhyaan diya hi nahin wahan se guzarte waqt.

Abhi aur Navina ne ek dusre ko mangni ke baad se shaadi ke 3 din pehle tak khat likhte rahe bina kissi din miss kiye…. Aur total 3,700 khat the ek dusre ke paas. Tamaam weh khat aaj bhi teen carton ke boxes mein maujood hein.

Abhi jab bank ke loan ko repay karne jata to kabhi manager se milta, kuch baatein hote ke kaam kaise chal raha hai etc…. tab ek din abhi ne manager ke desk par ek chota sa TV set jaisa dekha aur pucha ke wo kia hai. Manager ne kaha ke wo ek computer hai. Catode ray Wale computers the unn dinon, flat screen tha hi nahi computer hi sahi tarah se commercialised nahin hua tha sirf kissi bade bade company wale istemaal karte the aur bank wale… ziada tar IBM aur apple wale commercialised the, Microsoft tab utna popular nahin hue the… 1985 mein Microsoft ne windows 1.0 commercialised kiya tha… Abhi ko tab computer ka naam bhi nahin pata tha.

Uss din bank manager ne Abhi se kaha ke usske company ke liye bhi ek computer hona chahiye jiss mein wo tamaan workers ke naam ID, address, salary, company ki budget etc sab save kar sakta tha aur istemaal kar sakta tha….

Aur kuch mahinon baad Abhi ke garage wale office mein pehla computer laya gaya…. Secretary ko part time course follow karna pada uss computer par kaam karne ke liye, aur 3 mahine baad company ke saare important files save hone laga computer par. aur 1988 se hi Abhi ne computer chalana seekh liya tha aur ek computer khud apne liye bhi kharida ghar ke liye…

Aur dhire dhire jaise jaise computer ki generation badhta aur badalta gaya weise weise Abhi bhi change karta gaya aur ziada jaanta gaya computer ke baare mein.

1990’s mein internet par sab kuch hona shuru ho gaya tha aur Abhi tabhi se internet par connected tha aur apne company ke silsile mein foreign se comunicate karta emails se. Aur laptop naya naya aya tha tab aur Abhi ne tab ek laptop bhi le liya jo hamesha usski car mein rehta tha , sirf raat ko laptop ghar jaata jab Abhi ghar mein daakhil hota tha…

1990 mein hi Abhi ne apna pehla mobile kharida… wo ek analogue mobile tha Motorola make ki, wo yeh tha issko aaj bhi Abhi ne sambhal kar rakha hai kyunke yeh usska pehla mobile tha 1990 mein aya tha naya naya desh mein….

​
To inn do saalon mein Abhi aur Navina ek dusre se khub mile, ghumein, maja kiye aur last mein donon ki shaadi fix hui aur bade dhoom dhaam se shaadi hui donon ki.

Ab Abhi ki company kaafi popular ho gaya tha Abruhi.

Television walon ne usska interview liya tha jiss din ussne garage ko reopen kiya tha kyunke sab se youngest entrepreneur tha jissko bank ne karib ek crore loan dekar garage ko usske hawaale kiya tha. press mein bhi usski interview aur photos aaye the….

Unn dinon Abhi soch raha tha kia Ruhi aur usskki maa ne TV par usskko dekha hoga? Paper mein usski photo aur company ka naam dekha hoga? Ruhi ko kaisa laga hoga usska naam Abhi ke naam ke saat judhkar, Abruhi bante dekh kar?? Kia Ruhi ki maa aur khud Ruhi ko pachtawa nahin hua hoga?

Abhi ko uss waqt pata bhi nahin tha ke Ruhi kidhar hai, ussko pata nahin tha ke Ruhi uss Amit ke saath France chali gayi ya kahin aur kissi se shadi kar liya or what!! Agar Abhi chahta to Sunil ko khat likh kar Ruhi ke baare mein pata laga sakta tha magar ussne weisa nahin kiya…. Abhi yeh chahta tha ke agar Ruhi ko Abhi se pyar hai to Ruhi ko Abhi ke taraf ana chahiye tha. Jitna apne taraf se karna tha wo Abhi ne kar liya tha, bahot ziada hi kiya aur jhela tha Abhi ne Ruhi ke liye, to Ruhi ki baari thi Abhi ne socha iss liye ussne kabhi jaanne ki koshish nahin kiya pehle 5 saalon mein.

Abhi aur Navina ki married life bahot mast chal raha tha, Abhi ka kaam mast se bhi mast chal raha tha. Abhi ne apne garage ki advertisement ke saath ek ek chithi type karwa kar khud drive karte hue har ek bus owner ke ghar chorrne gaya tha…. North se south tak, east se west tak har bus owner ko ek ek chithi banta Abhi ne apne garage ko advertise karte hue… sirf ek bus owner ko chithi nahin diya Abhi ne, wo tha Mehboob.

Ab bus ki coach building ke ilawa aluminium ke kaam bhi hote the, usska ek alag team tha garage mein, weh log ziada tar outdoor kaam karte the, bade bade buildings mein aluminium frames laga kar window panes lagana etc… bade oonche 20 se 50 maale ke buildings mein weh kaam kiya jaata tha cranes se…. usske liye tender bhade jaate the agar governments ke buildings hote the… aur aksar daam kum hote the iss liye Abhi ko tender milta rehta tha… Abhi small profit mein kaam karta tha iss liye ussko bahot ziada kaam milta rehta tha garage mein.

Aur wohi kaam chote gharon mein bhi kiya jaata aur koyi gharib ke liye cost ziada hota to Abhi free mein weise logon ke ghar mein aluminium works kar diya karta tha, free of cost!

1994. Shaadi ke 5 saal baad Abhi ko ek din ek police station mein alluminiun ke khidki change karke naye lagwane the. Usske aadmi wahan kaam kar rahe the to Abhi check karne ko gaya tha ke kaam kahan tak hua hai wahan…. Aur Abhi ko kaun mila wahan? Mahesh, Ruhi ka chota bhai, ab wo police officer tha….. Abhi ne ussko dekha, muskuraya aur Mahesh khud aya Abhi se milne….

Mahesh ne Abhi se shake hand kiya, aur kaha,

“Hi, Abhi aap to bahot bade aadmi ban gaye ho ab, hmmm ABRUHI hehehehe aap ko TV par kayi baar dekha hoon, kaafi aage badh gaye ho ab life mein, very good very good mujhe Khushi hui Abhi.”

Abhi ne Mahesh ka haath apne haath mein pakre rakha Mahesh se baat karte hue, aur pucha ke wo kab police mein bharti hua yeh sab…. Abhi ko uss se Ruhi ke baare mein puchne ka mann kiya magar nahin pucha kyunke Mahesh ne Ruhi ki baat nahin kiya, bus ek dost ki tarah mila uss se aur casual baat kiya to Abhi ne bhi normal baat kiya Mahesh se…. Ruhi ki baat hi nahin hui…. Uss din ke baad Abhi Mahesh se kayi baar mila wahan aur kabhi uss sheher mein jahan usski chachi ki supermarket tha…. har baar donon doston ki tarah milte aur kuch der baat karte aur alag ho jaate….

Abhi ko ab pata chal gaya tha ke Ruhi ne bhi ussko TV par dekha hoga, usske ghar mein agar Mahesh ne Abhi ko dekha to matlab sab ne ussko dekha hoga aur ABRUHI company se sab wakif honge, Ruhi ki maa ko bhi sab pata chala hoga ke Abhi ek crorepati ban gaya hai aur usski Ruhi ke liye Abhi sahi ladka tha, aur pachta rahi hogi…. Iss se Abhi ko bahot Khushi milta tha jab sochta tha ke Ruhi ki maa par kia beet rahi hogi jab jab Abhi ko aur usski company ko TV par dikhaya gaya hoga….

Aur ek din Abhi ko East mein jana tha ek building ke liye quotation banaane. Abhi jab Ruhi ki main road se guzra to jaan bujh kar uss filling station par ruka fuel lene ke bahane. Filling station se Ruhi ki kitchen ki stairs saaf dikhaayi deta tha…. Abhi car se nikla aur Ruhi ke kitchen ke taraf dekhne laga…

Ye Abhi wo wala Abhi nahin tha jo unn dinon uss aangan mein gande kapdon mein kaam karta tha aur Ruhi se pyar ki bheek manga karta tha…. pichle 5 saalon mein Abhi ne itna tarraki kar liya tha ke ab usske paas ek BMW, Ek Mercrdes bentz, aur ek Audi tha, cars ka shauk tha abhi ko, rodeo jaisa drivings karta tha…. usska ghar pata nahin kitne crore ka tha; usske pehnaav se dikhta tha ek raiz aadmi hai….

Aur jab Abhi ko koyi nahin dikha stair par to pump par kaam karne wale aadmi ne Abhi se pucha,

“kuch chahiye kia Sir, fuel to full hai aap ki BMW mein to aap kyun ruke yahan Sir?

Abhi khayaalon mein khoya hua uss pump wale se pucha,

“uss ghar mein wahan last wala jo hai, Manoj, Mahesh, weh donon yahin rehte hein nah?”

Aadmi ne kaha,

“haan sir ji, donon bhai wahin rehte hein, aap jaante ho unhe Sir?”

Abhi ne weise hi khayaalon mein khoya hua udhar hi dekhte hue kaha,

“Ruhi?! Ruhi ko jaante ho tum?! Wo yahin hai kia?!”

Aadmi ne pucha,

“magar Sir aap kyun sawaal kar rahe ho? agar unnko jaante ho to wahan chale kyun nahin jaate aap?”

Abhi ne jaise ek sapna dekhte hue kaha,

“Ruhi France jaane wali thi gayi ke nahin bata mujhe, tab se abhi 8 saal ho gaye; gayi ke nahin bata mujhe!!”

Abhi ka dil zoron se dhadakne laga tha, wohi pehle ki tarah jab Ruhi ka naam leta tha, tab yehi haal hota tha, usske jaise saans fullne lage the uss aadmi se sawaal karte hue… Abhi ke nazar usski kitchen se hatt nahin raha tha aur uss aadmi se jawaab ka wait kar raha tha to aadmi ne kaha,

“Suna tha jaane wali thi Sir, magar gayi nahin hai abhi tak yahin hai!!”

Abhi tab tak aise hanffne laga tha jaise 100 metres bhaag kar aya tha, uss aadmi ka jawaab sun kar Abhi ne usske chehhre mein dekhte hue ek ajeeb si muskurahat mein kaha,

“Aath saal, 8 saal hahahaha dekhta hoon kab jaati hai!”

Aur Abhi car ke driving wale seat par baitha, to aadmi ne jhuk kar kaha,

“Sir koyi message ho to batadun Ruhi ji ko?!”

Abhi ne ussko ek 100 ka note dete hue kaha,

Bus itna kehna ke Amitabh Bachchan jitna lamba aadmi puch raha tha usske baare mein wo samajh jaegi.

To be continued….

Update 50 About Ruhi​

“Sir koyi message ho to batadun Ruhi ji ko?!”

Abhi ne ussko ek 100 ka note dete hue kaha,

Bus itna kehna ke Amitabh Bachchan jitna lamba aadmi puch raha tha usske baare mein wo samajh jaegi.

Ab aaguey….

Abhi ne kyun uss din wahan ruk kar Ruhi ke baare mein sawaal kiya tha itne saalon baad wo khud nahin samajh saka. Aur ussko Ruhi ke baare mein baat karte waqt kia ho raha tha yeh bhi wo nahin samajh saka. Jiss dauraan wo Ruhi ki stairs par dekh raha tha, aur uss aadmi se baat kar raha tha Abhi ki awaaz badal gayi thi, usske saansein tez chal rahe the, wo jaise sapne mein tha uss waqt, jaise khayaalon mein ji raaha tha uss pal ko….

Ghar wapas jaane par Abhi ne drawer se unn diaries ko nikala jissko ussne uss din drawer mein band kiya tha jiss din Navina ne padhkar wapas kiya tha, matlab 7 saal baad unn diaries ko Abhi phir padhne laga…. Aur usske sukhe hue aansoo phir baahar aaye….. Ruhi ke saath guzaare ek ek lamhaat ko padhte hue Abhi ek chote bache ki tarah rone laga… usske aankhon ke saamne phir wo saare drisht taaza hone lage, Ruhi ki Muskaan, usskki awaaz, usski aadaien sab Abhi ko ghirrne lage aur wo wapas 1986 mein chala gaya…..

Ussko laga ke ek time machine ne ussko uthakar wapas Ruhi ke aangan mein patak diya.

Navina ki university mein lecture dene wala din tha, wo raat ko 9 baje wapas ane wali thi, matlab 9 baje Abhi ko ussko lene jaana tha kyunke Navina drive nahin karti thi, seekhna bhi nahin chahti thi, darrti thi drive karne se.

To Abhi ghar mein akele diaries padhte hue khub roya… aadha padha tab tak Navina ko lene jaane ka time ho gaya….

Navina se ussne kuch nahin kaha ke daries padhkar wo roya tha, phir bhi Navina Abhi ko itna pehchaanti thi ke usske awaaz se Navina ko pata chal gaya ke wo roya tha aur pucha kyun to Abhi ne jhoot kaha ke ek movie ki emotional scene ne usse rulaya.

Ghar wapas aane par Navina ne Abhi ke chehre mein ghaur se dekha aur usske gaalon ko chumte hue pucha,

“Aaj aap ne Ruhi ki diaries padhe the kia?”

Abhi Navina ko bahon mein bharke rone laga…. Usski chori pakri gayi thi…. Navina uss waqt ussko ek dost ki taraah comfort kar rahi thi, ek maa ki tarah ek rote hue bachche ko araam pahuncha rahi thi, Abhi ke peeth ko thapthapaate hue Navina ne pucha,

“Aaj aap ko Ruhi dikhi thi kia kahin? Hmmm? Aap ne dekha ussko kahin par kia?!”

Abhi ne rote hue kaha,

“Tum itni achchi kyun ho? Tum kaise bardaasht kar leti ho ke tumhara pati kissi aur ladki ke baare mein soch kar ro raha hai?!”

Navina ne araam se muskuraate hue kaha,

“Wo aap ka pehla pyar hai, main to secondary hoon nah, to samajhti hoon ke agar wo aap ko kabhi kahin mil gayi, to kia hoga mera? Aksar sochti hoon ke agar Ruhi aap ki zindagi mein wapas agayi to aap kia karoge? Kaise saamna karoge? Aur hamare haalat ko kaise manage karoge aap? Main to aap ko uss se milne ya usske saath rehne ko kabhi mana nahin karungi, magar main iss ghar ko chorr kar kahin nahin jaungi itna jaan lijiye aap…. Agar wo mili to aap usske liye alag ghar lena mere ghar mein mat laana usse haan!!”

Abhi ne Navina ko kiss karte hue kaha,

“Tum farishta mat banon Navina, tum apne haq ke liye lado mujhse se, ladaayi karo mujhse agar main uss se mili to, mujhko itna chhut mat do ke main bhatak jaun!”

Navina ne Abhi ke chaati ko chumte hue kaha,

“Nah, usska bhi haq hai aap par, iss liye main usska haq nahin chinungi, ussi ke badaulat to main aap se mili, ussi ki diaries ko padh kar to mujhe aap se pyar hua, ussi ke badaulat main ne aap ko jaana, pehchana, yeh jaana ke aap ke andar kitna pyar bhara hua hai…. Agar wo nahin hoti to main aaj aap ki bhi nahin hoti. Iss liye usska bhi haq banta hai aap par, iss liye mujhe aap ko uss se milne par rok tok karne ka koyi haq nahin.”

Abhi ne Navina ke gaalon ko chumte hue kaha,

“kiss mitti ke bane ho tum pata nahin!”

To Navina ne pucha,

“To ab batao kahan mili wo aaj aap ko?!”

Abhi: “kahin nahin mili wo. Aaj tak ussko dekha nahin hai main ne 24th December ke baad.

Jiss din se wo mujhe chorr kar gayi aaj tak nahin dekha ussko main ne except ek do din bus ke andar se ussko usski aangan mein dekha tha guzarte hue… varna personally aaj tak nahin mila uss se main uss din ke baad”

Navina: “to phir kyun roye usski yaad mein aaj?!”

Abhi: “paagal hoon main, pata nahin kyun aaj main ruka usske ghar ke saamne main road par uss filling station par fuel lene ke bahane aur uss pump wale se Ruhi ke baare mein puch baitha…. Pata nahin kyun weisa kiya main ne!! ghalati kar baitha mujhko nahin puchna chahiye tha, upar se uss pump wale se keh diya ke Ruhi se kehna ke main aya tha usse dhundte hue!!!”

Navina: “To achah hua nah ab ek do din baad wapas jana uss station par uss aadmi se puchna kia uss ne aap ki message ko diya ussko ya nahin, tab sab pata chal jaega aap ko! – agar diya hoga to Ruhi ne kia kaha ussko wo bhi pata chalega aap ko…. Agar usski response sahi hui hogi to chale jaana uss se milne, kia pata ke wo aap ki raah dekh rahi hai abhi tak?! Who knows?!”

Abhi: “kyun bhatka rahi ho mujhe, main nahin jaane wala ab wahan…. Ghalati hui mujhse I won’t go there anymore!”

Naina: “acha ek baat bataiye, agar uss dauraan Ruhi aap ke samne aajaati jiss wat aap wahan khade the to? Kia karte aap? Agar wo bhaag kar aap ke taraf baahein feylaaye hue aati to aap ussko apne baahon mein nahin jakarte sab ke saamne sabko goli maar kar? Bataiye nah!”

Abhi aur Navina donon khade the ek dusre ko baahon mein bhade, aur Abhi ne usski peshaani ko chumte hue kaha,

“Ab bass karo mujhe aur kuch nahin sunna usske baare mein, stop it please!”

Naina ne kaha,

“Ruhi was a blessing in disguise in your life. Wo aap ki life mein issi liye aayi ke aap life mein tarakki karo. Agar wo nahin aati aap ki life mein, usski maa ko aap ka kaam naapassand nah hoti to aap ne aaj yeh dhan Daulat nahin kamaaye hote, murde garage ko firse zinda nahin karte aap, itna bada loan lekar uss garage ko nahin chalaate aap…. Yeh sab aap ne Ruhi aur usski maa ko dikhaane ke liye kiya….So Ruhi aap ki life mein ek masiha ban kar aayi, aap ka imtehaan liya aur uss tarah se aap ko neglect karke aap ko aage badhne ka mauka diya Ruhi ne…. that is a blessing in disguise! – balke hum donon ko bhi milaya Ruhi ne hi, wo nahin aati aap ki life mein to aap usski naam se diaries nahin likhte, aur main nahin padhti to main aap se impress nahin hoti to pyar nahin hota….yeh sab kuch to Ruhi ki vajah se hi hua nah? Aaj hum donon ek saath hai to Ruhi ke zarye se!.....

Agar wo kabhi bhi aap ko mili to ek baar mujhse zaroor milwana mujhe ussko thanks kehna hai, thanks iss liye ke ussne aap ko mere liye chorra, iss liye ke ussne aap ke pyar ko thukraya to aap ka pyar mujhe mila, thanks iss liye karna hai usse ke uss ne aap ko aaj iss mukaam par pahunchaya.”

Abhi ke paas kehne ke liye kuch bhi nahin tha kyunke jo bhi Navina ne kaha sab sahi the…..

Phir bhi Abhi ne pucha,

“Do you think unn logon ko mere baare mein khabar milta hoga? Do you think ke Ruhi ko pata hai mera Abruhi usske aur mere naam se hai? Kia ussko aur usski maa ko pata hoga ke main kahan se kahan pahuch gaya hoon? Kia usski maa ko ab pachtawa hota hoga? Kia Manoj ko pata hoga main kitna bada hasti ban gaya hoon aur wo abhi mere saamne kide makode ke jaisa hai hmm what do you think? Do they know?”

Navina: “100% sab pata hein sabko. Ruhi ko to pakka sab pata hoga aur usski maa ko bhi…. Aap itne baar TV par aaye ho news mein, aur har koyi news dekhta hai, aur phir papers mein, aur phir uss documentary mein jo baar baar tV par dikhaya gaya tha, aur uss business magazine walon ne pichle 5 saalon mein aap ke 3 interviews liye aur har baar aap ki kitne tasveerein chhape gaye uss magazine mein? My hubby is a celebrity my dear, to kaise ek celebrity ko nahin jaanenge weh log, pura desh aap ko jaante hein my dear Hubby!!”

To be continued…..

Update 51 Ruhi Got The Message​

Abhi firse uss taraf bilkool nahin gaya. Pata nahin ke uss pump wale ne Ruhi se kaha ke wo aya tha aur usske baare mein puch raha tha ke nahin….. Well Abhi ko nahin pata magar main aap logon ko bata doon ke haan Ruhi ko pata chala….

Ek din baad Ruhi shop jaa rahi thi chocolate kharidne to pump wala aadmi ne Ruhi ko bulaya…. Ruhi normal nahin chal rahi thi… usske haath mein ek laathi jaisa kuch tha… wo orthopaedic wala… thodi si jhhuki hui thi jaise usske peeth mein koyi dard ya koyi issue hai…. Ruhi ko heyrani hui ke wo aadmi ussko kyun bula raha hai kyunke Ruhi ne uss se kabhi bhi baat tak nahin kiya tha, phir bhi Ruhi gayi aur pucha kia baat hai to uss aadmi ne kaha,

“aap ko koyi kal dhund raha tha!”

Ruhi ne bahot heyraan hote hue pucha,

“Mujhko? Mujhko kaun dhundega bhala? Aap ko ghalat faimi hui hogi”

Aadmi: “koyi bhi ghalat faimi nahin hui mujhe uss aadmi ne Ruhi naam bataya aap ka, wo Manoj aur Mahesh ka naam bhi bataya mujhe!”

Turant ek pal mein Ruhi ko Abhi yaad aya aur thartharaate labon se pucha,

“kaisa tha wo? Lamba tha, oonche kad ka? gora tha?!”

Aadmi: “bilkool sahi pehchana aap ne wohi tha? kaun hai wo kyun sirf aap ke baare mein pucha aur wapas chala gaya? Main ne ussko kaha bhi aap logon se jaa kar milne ko magar nahin gaya….”

Ruhi Ke aankhon se aansoo behne lage the aur wo aansoowon ko ponchte aur sisakte hue pucha;

“Aur kia kahan unhon ne? kaisa hai wo? Thik the nah? Batao kia kaha unnhon ne? koyi sandesha chorra kia? Kuch diya mujhe dene ke liye kia?!”

Ruhi ko uss tarah se rote dekh kar wo aadmi hadbada gaya aur charon taraf dekha phir kaha,

“ofo aap ro kyun rahi ho, haan wo thik tha, ek bahut bada raiz aadmi lag raha tha bada sa Mercedes mein tha….

”

Ruhi: “Wo Abhi tha, wo kabhi mera Abhi hua karta tha… bataiye nah kuch diya ussne mujhe dene ke liye? 8 saal… 8 saal baad!!!

Aadmi: “are haan ussne bhi mujh se yehi kaha tha 8 saal, 8 saal kia hua 8 saal? Yeh 8 saal kia hai?

Ruhi bilak bilak kar roti gayi aur bataane ko kaha ke Abhi ne kia kaha usske liye.

Aadmi ne kaha,

“ussne kaha aap ko bata dun ke Amitabh Bachchan jitna lamba aadmi aya tha aap samajh jaogi!”

Ruhi zor se hanssi aur royi ek saath.. aur uss aadmi ke chehre mein dekhti gayi aur kaha,

“Wo aap ko kaisa dikha, wo acha hai nah? sahi salaamat hai nah?”

Aadmi: “haan magar wo kaafi der tak aap ke ghar ke taraf udhar stairs par yahan se khada dekhta raha aur ussko jaise saans lene mein takliff ho raha tha, jaise haanf raha tha aur udhar iss tarah dekhe raha tha jaise ussko kuch dikh raha tha, jaise wo aap ko ya kisi ko dekh kar baat kar raha tha, bhaadi awaaz mein gale ke andar se usski awaaz arahe the….”

Ruhi: “Sunon, ek kaam karna please, agar wo phir kabhi yahan aya to mujhko turant phone karna, main aap ko apne ghar ka number deti hoon, mujhe turant yahan bulana aur ussko rok ke rakhna please, itna karoge aap mere liye? Bolo kia itna kar sakoge aap?!”

Uss aadmi ne kaha haan okay phir pucha,

“kia wo aap ka ex-husband hai kia? Aap donon alag ho gaye ho kia?!”

Ruhi: “Aap idhar ka rehne wala nahin lag rahe ho to aap ko kaise pata chala ke main Ruhi hoon? Aap Manoj aur Mahesh ko kaise jaante ho?”

Aadmi: “main yahan ka rehne wala nahin hoon par aap to iss station ki neighbour ho, to apne neighbour ko log jaante hi hai nah? aap ke donon bhai ko jaanta hoon unnke naam janta hoon to aap unnke behen ho to jaanta hoon, aap ke mother ko bhi jaanta hoo, 3 saal se yahan kaam karta hoon to aas paas ke sabhi logon ko jaan gaya hoon!”

Tab Ruhi ne uss se kaha,

“Haan to kuch aisa hi samajh lo ke wo mera ex-husband hai aur please yeh baat kissi ko bhi mat batana kia main aap ko trust kar sakti hoon ke aap kissi ko kuch bhi nahin bataoge, khaas kar mere bhaiyon se to bilkool bhi nahin okay?!”

Aadmi: “Main samajh gaya ji, main khud divorcee hoon aur apni ex-wife se milne jaata hoon chhup chupa kar to main samajh raha hoon, magar ek baat puchun? Aap ke ex-husband to bahut bada aadmi hai to weise aadmi se aap kyun alag hue?”

Ruhi: “meri takdeer kharaab thi, aur mera hi kusoor tha”

Aur Ruhi uss din ghar jaa kar bahot bahot royi thi. Sirf Abhi ko yaad karti aur roti rehti…. Kissi se kuch nahin kaha ghar mein.

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

Abhi phir kabhi udhar gaya hi nahin aur seikron baar Ruhi gayi uss filling station par usski raah dekhne aur uss aadmi se puchne magar Abhi kabhi gaya hi nahin to kia khabar milti ussko….

Din, saal, mahine guzarte gaye. Abhi ki business badhta gaya.

Saeed uss se Naukri maangne gaya usski garage mein. Abhi nek dil tha to de diya Saeed ko bhi kaam. Abhi ne iss liye ussko inkaar nahin kiya kyunke Abhi ne yeh kaam ussi se seekha tha, iss liye ussne saeed ko kaam diya.

Magar ek din Abhi ne saeed se baat kiya. Uss din Abhi ko kissi financial sissile mein bank jana tha to ache kapdon mein tha aur kaam wale gande kapde mein nahin tha, matlab boss wala status tha uss waqt aur saeed ko Abhi ne apne office mein bulwaya.

Apni AC wale office mein desk ke piche baitha Abhi apne PC ke piche, rolling chair par baithe hue Saeed se kaha,

“Main kaam nahin karta, mere parents bahot gharib hein, main nikkamma hoon, Ruhi ko main khush nahin rakh paunga, Ruhi ki maa ko yehi salah diya tha nah aap ne? kyun Saeed?!”

Saeed ne ek hypocrite wala hassi dikhaate hue kaha,

“Are Abhi gyarah saal beet chuke hein, tum gade murde kyun ukhaad rahe ho ab chorro nah bhai tum kitne bade aadmi ban gaye ho apni heysiyat ke logon ki baat karo kyun unn bhikariyon ke baat kar rahe ho?!”

Abhi khada ho gaya aur ghusse mein saeed ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Yehi!! Yehi kaha hoga nah tumne uss din Ruhi ki maa se bhi ke main bhikaari hoon, aur aaj unnko bhikaari keh rahe ho? kiss ko bhikari kaha tumne Ruhi ko? Khabardaar Saeed! Khabardaar!! Aur haan 11 saal aap ke liye beete honge mere zehen mein sab ab bhi weise hi taaza hai mere liye 11 din guzre hein sirf!!”

Saeed ka chehre laal se jaise kaala pad gaya jiss tone mein Abhi ne uss baat kiya. Aur saeed ne dheemi awaaza mein kaha,

“Abhi, mujhe pata tha tum tarraki karoge, jiss din tumne Mehboob se 3 laakh ki deal kiya tha tabhi mujhe tujh mein ek bada business man dekh liya tha…”

Abhi: “Aur tumne uss paise mein se mera ek laakh ka gaand bhi mara tha wo bhool gaye tum? Mujhse kaha tha ke Mehboob ne kabhi baaki ka ek laakh diya hi nahin, bolo, diya tha Mehboob ne wo baaki ke ek laakh ya nahin Saeed? Main khud wahan Mehboob se wo paisa tamasha karke mang sakta tha, Ruhi ki maa aur Ruhi ke saamne main dikha sakta tha ke 1 lakh kama raha hoon uss Mehboob se magar main iss liye nahin gaya tha kyunke usski gali mein jaana chorr diya tha aur dusra reason yeh tha ke mujhe shak tha ke ussne tujhe paisa de diya tha magar tumne sab apne liye rakh liye honge!”

Saeed: “Abhi meri beti ki shaadi thi iss liye unn paison ki zaroorat thi mujhe….”

Abhi: “chal de diya teri beti ko gift wo paise.... aaj mujhe yeh bata ke kyun tumne mera patta kata tha Ruhi ki maa se? Tujhe achii tarah pata tha ke main uss ladki se diwangi ki had tak pyar karta tha, tha nahin KARTA HOON! Tujhse main ne saaf lavzon mein kaha tha ke ussko chahta hoon aur uss se shaadi karna chahta hoon…. Phir bhi tumne weisa kyun kiya? Mere madad karne ki bajae kyun tumne Ruhi ki maa se mere khilaaf baat kiya tha? kia tu jalta tha mujhse? Wo bhi to teri beti jaisi thi, ek masoom ka pyar chhin kar kia mila tha tujhe saeed?”

Saeed ke paas koyi jawaab nahin tha. khamosh baitha raha sar jhukaaye hue.

Aur Abhi ne aur bola,

“Aur uss par tumne Mehboob ko bhi bhadkaya tha, Ruhi ki maa ko bhi bhadkaya tha mere khilaaf, kyun saeed?!”

Tab Saeed bola,

“Abhi, Mehboob hi nahin chahta tha ke Ruhi aur tera Rishta bane! Ussi ne mujhe kuch baat bana kar Ruhi ki maa se kehne ko kaha tha, Mehboob nahin chahta tha ke tu Ruhi ke ass paas rahe, ussko bilkool nahin passand tha. wo nahin chahta tha ke tu aur Ruhi shaadi kare! Ussne mere saath milkar plan banaya tha ke kia baat bataya jaaye Ruhi ki maa ko tere khilaaf. Aur mere munh se uss din nikal gaya tha ke tu wahan Ruhi ke liye har roz kaam par ata tha varna to har Monday ko absent rehta tha to Mehboob ne uss baat ko pakda aur kaha ke wohi kehna hai Ruhi ki maa ko ke tu kaam nahin karta wahan sirf Ruhi ki vajah se ata hai….”

Abhi: “Magar kyun? Mehboob weisa kyun karega? Kyun wo mujhe Ruhi ke saath dekhna nahin passand karta tha? Kyun nahin chahta tha ke main Ruhi se shaadi karun?”

Saeed: “Tum jaanna chahte ho? Sun sakoge Abhi? Bataun main?! Yakeen nahin karoge tum!”

Abhi ne apne palkon ko uchkaate hue Saeed ko dekha aur kaha,

“What? Kia yakeen nahin karunga? Batao kia baat hai saeed!”

Saeed: “To sun main batata hoon ke kyun Mehboob nahin chahta tha ke tum Ruhi ke aas paas raho ya uss se shaadi karo…. Tujhe pata tha ke kuch saal pahle Rahima Mehboob ko chorr kar bhaag gayi thi? Usski bachi Farzina tab 6 saal kit hi”

Abhi: “nahin Farzinah tab 2 Saal ki thi”

Saeed: “matlab tujhko pata hai ke Rahima kissi aur ke saath bhaag gayi thi? Magar Farzina 6 Saal ki thi 2 saal ki nahin wo primary school jaane lagi thi, tujhe ghalat bataya hai jiss ne bhi bataya….”

Abhi: “acha chal maan liya farzina 6 saal ki thi to? Ruhi ka kia lena dena iss mein?!”

Saeed: “Are tabhi to sab hua tha…. Ruhi tab Farzinah ki dekh bhaal karti thi Mehboob ke ghar aati jaati aur rehti bhi thi usske ghar…. Aur Mehboob ka affair tha Ruhi ke saath unn dinon, jitney raat ko Rahima nahin thi utne raat Ruhi Rahima ke bistar par soyi thi Mehboob ke saath, Mehboob Ruhi ko chodta tha Abhi!!”

Abhi ko jhatka laga aur bahot ghussa bhi aaya aur Saeed ko gaali diya Abhi ne. Abhi ne uss se kaha ke wo Bakwaas kar raha hai.

Saeed ne kaha,

“Bilkool sach baat hai Abhi, wahan ke bahot saare logon ko iss baat ka pata hai….”

Abhi: “Aur aap ko kiss ne batayi yeh baat?”

Saeed: “yeh main nahin bata sakta Abhi… tumko wo bata diya jo tumko jaanna chahiye tha…. ab samjha ke kyun mein nahin chahta tha ke tera shadi uss ladki se ho? Main tera bhalaa chahta tha iss liye main nahin chahta tha ke tu usski jaal mein fansse….”

Abhi ka sar chakraane laga tha, usske aankhon ke saamne thoda andhera jaisa chaane laga, aur phir Saeed se pucha,

“Ruhi ki tab kia umar hui hogi Saeed…. Aur Rahima ko to ussi roz wo lag wapas lekar agaye the nah?!”

Saeed: “are wo college jaati thi 12th mein thi shaayad…. College ki student thi unn dinon, bahot garmi rahi hogi uss mein, jaante hi ho college girls kaise hote hein…. Mehboob ke ghar mein usske bed par leyti hogi aur Mehboob ki wife thi nahin aur wo akeli thi Mehboob se raha nahin gaya hoga to kaam tamaam kar diya usski….. aur do hafte baad Rahima ko wapas laya gaya tha, wo do hafte tak chudwaayi thi uss aadmi ke saath jisske saath gayi thi, udhar Rahima chudwa rahi thi kissi aur se to idhar Mehboob bhi eysh kar raha tha naazuk kali ke saath….. Mehboob nahin jaana chahta tha Rahima ko wapas laane ko, ussne kaha tha wo ghar se bhaagi hai to kyun wapas lana hai ussko, magar sab ne ussko samjhaya ke chhoti Farzina ke khatir Rahima ko wapas laana padega…. Phir Mehboob ko Ruhi jo mil gaya tha iss liye usski nazar tab Ruhi par the iss liye Rahima ko nahin laana chahta tha….. magar wahan par sab ne bahot zor diya tab Rahima ko wapas laane gaye the….”

Abhi: “jiss kissi ne bhi tujhe yeh baat bataayi kia tujhe uss par yakeen aur bharosa hai? Aur ussko kaise pata chala iss baat ka? Wo kia jhankne gaya tha Mehboob ke ghar ke andar raat ko?!”

Saeed: “Dekh Abhi jo mujhe batana tha wo main ne aaj tujhe bata diya ab tu yakeen kar ya nahin yeh teri problem hai main chala ab!!”

Yeh keh kar saeed chala gaya….

Abhi paagal hone laga aur ab Ruhi ki kahi hui baat ke wo virgin nahin hai, usski ghalati ko maaf karna…. Aur khud search karne ko kaha tha ke yeh kiss ne usske saath kiya tha…. sab ghumne lage Abhi ke sar ke andar….. aur phir achanak Abhi ko yaad aya ke ek din Ruhi ne kaha tha ke “Mehboob ne hi hmm hmm hmm” kaha tha Ruhi ne…to kia yehi kehna chahti thi uss din Ruhi ke Mehboob ne hi usski virginity liya hai? Yeh Update 34 mein kaha tha Ruhi ne jab Abhi khidki ke paas Ruhi aur usski maa se baat kar raha tha aur Mehboob Abhi ko chai lene ke liye bula raha tha aur Ruhi ki maa aur Ruhi ne ussko jaa kar chai lene ko kaha tha tab Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha tha ke Mehboob ko sab pata hai unn donon ke baare mein to Ruhi ke yeh kaha tha “ussi ne hmmm hmm hmmm” (readers check kar sake hein)

Abhi ka sar jaise phatne laga tha yeh sab soch soch kar….

Update 52 Enhancement Of Business & Meeting With….?
​
Uss raat ko Abhi Saeed ke unn baton ko sochte hue paagal ho raha tha, unn diaries ko wapas lekar uss hisse ko padhne laga jiss din Ruhi ne weisa kaha tha uss se…. aur shak paida hua usske mann mein bhi iss baat ko lekar. Ussko ab sahi lagne laga tha Saeed ka kehna… magar yeh sab saeed ko kiss ne bataya hoga? Mehboob ne? Kia agar aisi baat sach mein thi to kia Mehbbob iss baat ko Saeed se bolta? Agar Mehboob ne nahin to kiss ne kaha hoga yeh baat Saeed ko?

Abhi jaise flashback mein jaakar tamaan unn hisson ko yaad karta jahan jahan ussne Ruhi ko Mehboob ke aas paas dekha tha …. Magar kahin bhi Abhi ko nahin dikha tha Ruhi ko Mehboob ke taraf kissi weisi nazar se dekhte hue, balke hamesha Ruhi Mehboob se darrti jaisi thi….

Usske saamne Abhi se baat nahin karna chahti thi shuru se hi….. to kia issi liye Mehboob se darrti thi? Kia Mehboob ne ussko toka hoga ke kia naatak kar rahi hai tu Abhi ke sath? Aisa kuch kaha hoga Ruhi ko?

Kia Mehbob Ruhi ko apni rakhel ki tarah rakhna chahta tha taake Ruhi kissi aur se kabhi shadi nah kar paaye aur hamesha wahin rahe?.. Ruhi 20 years ki thi aur Mehboob 40 se upar ka tha, to kia yeh Rishta mumkin tha donon ke beech?

Magar ab Farzina itni badi ho gayi thi, aur Rahima bhi ghar par rehti thi to kab Mehboob Ruhi se milta hoga agar ab kuch tha donon ke beech to? Abhi ka sar phata jaa raha tha yeh sab sochte hue…. Jitna wo Ruhi ko dimaagh se nikla feinkna chahta tha magar utna hi Ruhi usski zehen mein aa rahi thi….. shaadi ke baad almost bhool hi gaya tha Ruhi ko magar ab fir se usske yaadon ne Abhi ko pareshan karna shuru kar diya tha…. Abhi ki chain neendh sab udh gaye the….. pareshan rehne laga tha wo ab …. Abhi sochta ke jiss Saturdays ko Ruhi silaayi ke liye jaati thi kia Mehboob uss se baahar milta tha? aur Abhi ne yaad kiya Ruhi se juda hone ke baad kayi baar wo uss terminus par gaya tha dekhne ke Ruhi dikh jaaye to ek din Mehboob mila tha usse… To ab Abhi sochne laga kia Mehboob Ruhi ke saath thi aur ussko kahin wait karne ko chorr kar Abhi se milne aya tha? Ya kia pata Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekh liya aur Mehboob se kaha tab Mehbob aya tha Abhi se milne?!!!!

Abhi ko bilkool yakeen nahin tha…. bahot sochne ke baad, 4 ya 5 din ke baad Abhi ne kaha ke yeh ho hi nahin sakta…. Saeed ne zaroor koyi kahani banaya hoga ya Abhi ko Ruhi ke liye dil mein nafrat paida karne ke liye yeh sab kaha hoga… bilkool yakeen nahin tha Abhi ko ke Ruhi aur Mehboob ke beech koyi Rishta tha…. Abhi ne phir khud se kaha ke ek din ussko sab sahi sahi pata chalega zaroor…. Agar usska pyar Ruhi ke liye sacha tha to ussko sachaayi ka pata zaroor chalega. Abhi ne khud se yeh bhi kaha ke Ruhi ussko itni bada dhoka nahin deti, saaf saaf Ruhi ne bata diya tha ke wo virgin nahin hai, usski sincererity par Abhi ko bharossa tha, uss pyar par Abhi ko yakeen tha, agar Mehboob ke saath koyi najayaz Sambandh hoti to Ruhi kehti Abhi se, wo itna bada jhoot nahin chhupaati Abhi se….. Abhi ko apne pyar par bharosa, tha Ruhi par nahin magar apne pyar par bharossa tha wo pyar Abhi ko itna bada dhoka nahin de sakta tha…. Iss liye Abhi ne saeed ki baat ko jhoot maana. Aur kaha ke ek din ussko sachaai ka pata zaroor chalega…. Abhi ne yeh bhi socha ke Saeed ne kaha wahan par bahot logon ko iss baat ka pata hai to, Sunil ko pata hota itni bari baat, kyun Sunil ne uss se kabhi yeh baat nahin bataaya…. Abhi ne socha ek baar Sunil se milkar iss baare mein puchna padega ussko….

Film Aashiqui release hui aur usske saare gaane itne romantic aur lovable the ke Abhi sirf Ruhi ke liye unn gaanon ko gaata aur gungunata, ussko sirf Ruhi fit lagti thi unn gaanon mein aur rota bhi tha unn geeton ko sunkar:

1.jaane jigar jaaneman, tujhko ha meri kassam tu jo mujhe nah mili mar jaunga main sanam

2. Main dunya bhoola dunga teri chaahat mein…

3. saanson ki zaroorat hai jaise zindagi ke liye buss ek sanam chahiye, Aashiqui ke liye

4. nazar ke saamne, jigar ke paas koyi rehta hai wo ho tum….

Khaas kar yeh do gaane Abhi ko rulata tha: “Dhire dhire se meri zindagi mein aana , dhire dhire se dil ko churana, tumse pyar hamein hai kitna jaane jaana tumse milkar tumko hai batana….”

Abhi ko Ruhi se milkar batana tha ke ussko kitna pyar tha uss se…. iss liye yeh gana usske liye ehem tha…

Aur yeh wala bhi rulata tha abhi ko: “Mera dil tere liye dhadakta hai hai…. Oohhhh” yeh bhi kehna tha abhi ko Ruhi se ke usska dil Ruhi ke liye dhadakta hai…..

Phir ek ya do saal baad fil saajan release hui sanjay dutt, salman aur Madhuri ke bich… uss film ko dekh kar abhi bahot roya tha… theatre mein Navina ko Abhi ke munh par rumal rakh kar chhup kara pada tha, varna log sun lete Abhi ka rona….. ussko sirf Ruhi aur khud dikhaayi de raha tha movie mein…. Iss film ki iss gaane ko Abhi aksar rota sunte hue aur gungunaate hue: “bahot pyar karte hein tumko sanam, kassam chaahe lelo, khuda ki Kassam….” Aur iss gaane ko sunkar to rota hi rota tha “Jiye to jiye kaise bin aap ke…..”

Wo ek daur tha ke itne saare romantic picturein aate the aur itne ache aur romantic songs hote the ke Abhi kehta ke sab jaise ussi ke liye likhe jaate the, aur by chance har geet usske situation par fit baithte the… jo ussko rula deta tha…..

Foreign Contacts

Kyunke Abhi ka karobaar expand hua tha ab bus owners uss se naye busson ke supply ki maang karne lage the, matlab complete bus, naya chasis sameth.

Unn dinon local bus jaise TATA aur imported sirf Bedford aur Leyland wale engine ke bus hua karte the…

To Abhi ne email dwara Japan se contact karke ISUZU bus ke models mangwaye udhar se. Buses Abhi ko bahot passand aaye aur email aur phone se hi contact karke ek Japanese delegate ko invite kiya apne garage mein deal ke liye.

Jab wahan se delegate aaye aur Abhi ki garage aur kaam ko dekha Japan ke delegates ne to Abhi ke kaam se khush hue aur deal sign kiya gaya ke 25 Isusu ke Chasis ISUZU engine sameth Abhi ke garage ko bhejenge, unn mein se 10 bus free japan de rahe the Abhi ko first dea ki Khushi mein. Aur Desh mein Abhi ke ilawa koyi aur uss ISUZU bus /car/truck/ ya kuch bhi nahin import kar sakte the deal mein wo condition rakha gaya. Yaane sole distributor of ISUZU make Abhi ko mila desh mein uss make ki engine ko distribute karne ke liye.

Aur of course Abhi ko Japan jana para sab deal ko finalise karne ke liye aur ISUZU company ko visit karne aur busson ko dekhne ke liye.

Abhi ne kabhi plane se safar hi nahin kiya tha, passport tak nahin banwaya tha kyunke wo desh se kabhi baahar gaya hi nahin tha.

To wo sab karna para aur saath hi Navina ki bhi passport banwa liya aur jab Navina ko saath chalne ko kaha to ussne inkaar kiya kyunke ussko college mein syllabus complete karna tha agar saath jaati to students miss karte…. To Abhi ko akela jana para… 10 din ke tour tha Japan mein.

Abhi ko tahjub hua Japan mein uss company ko dekh kar, Abhi ne socha usski company to ek zarra tha uss Japan ke company ke saamne…… Aur Abhi ko idea mila ke kaise khud ki garage aur company ko wo bhi ultra-modern bana sakta hai…. Bahot saare photos liye Abhi ne taake apne garage ko uss tarah se modern bana sake…. Bus ki chassis aur engine ke ilawa Abhi ko bahot saare modern technology wale machines bhi mile jo apne garage mein istemaal kar sakta tha ussne kayi weise machinein bhi order kiye jo ek mahine ke andar ussko pahunch jana tha.

Japan mein aakhri 4 din Abhi as a tourist ghumne gaya Japan ke jaziron mein….. aur ek din kissi ne ussko piche se usske peeth ko thapthapaya…. Abhi ne mudhkar dekha to ek bahot khubsurat aurat usske saamne khadi ussko dekhte hue muskura rahi thi… Abhi ne ussko pehchana nahin… uss aurat ne pucha,

“Abhi tum mujhko nahin pehchaan rahe ho?!!”

Usski awaaz jaani pehchaani lagi aur achanak uss aawaaz ne Abhi ke dil ke taaron ko jhagjhora… RUHI!!!!!!! Abhi ki pehli wali Ruhi jo usski bachpan ka pyar tha, wohi Ruhi jisske pita ki lottery lagi thi aur Canada chala gaya tha…. wo wala Ruhi Abhi ke saamne thi!!

Abhi ko samajh mein nahin aya ke kia kahe, kia karen… wo hakbaka gaya aur Ruhi ke chehre mein khada dekhta raha kaafi der tak….. Ruhi usske saamne khadi hanssti jaa rahi thi… wohi chulbuli si hanssi jo kabi Abhi ko paagal banaati thi…. Magar aaj Abhi ke andar wo wala feel bilkool nahin aya jo college ke dinon mein hua karta tha iss Ruhi ke liye….. wo iss liye ke Abhi ke dil mein iss Ruhi wala pyar sab tabdil hokar dusri Ruhi mein samaa gaye the….

Ruhi khud Abhi ke gale mili aur Abhi ko bagal mein khade ek Safed chamri wale aadmi se milaya ussko apne husband introduce karte hue jissne ek bachi ko haath mein liya hua tha jo Shweta ki umar ki thi, wo iss Ruhi ki beti thi…. Ruhi ki husband ek Canadian tha, matlab Ruhi wahin Canada mein bassi thi to wahin shadi bhi kar liye bache bhi ho gaye aur bachi white skin thi….

Sab ne milkar ek drink liye ek restaurant mein…. Abhi ne pucha ke kaise wo Japan mein hai aur ussko kaise pehcaan liya Ruhi ne. to Ruhi ne bataya ke as tourist weh log vacation par aaye hue hein aur Abhi ko iss liye pehchana kyunke desh ki magazine padhte hein weh log Canada mein to magazine mein Ruhi ne Abhi ko dekha aur padha tha iss liye ussko pehchaan liya tha ussne….

Usske baad Abhi apne hotel wapas chala gaya Abhi ko ab koyi attachment nahin feel hua iss pehli wali Ruhi ke liye, balke wo apni wali Ruhi ko yaad karne laga aur uss bachi ko dekh kar Shweta ko yaad kiya Abhi ne aur socha ke ab Shweta ki kia umar hui hogi… to ginti kiya 6 plus 12 years… matlab ab Shweta 18 saal ki ho gayi hogi!!!! Abhi ko yakeen nahin raha tha ke itne saal guzar gaye ussko sab jaise kuch mahine guzre hein lag raha tha…. aur socha ke Shweta agar usske saamne agayi to wo ussko nahin pehchanega…. Haan Shweta Abhi ko zaroor pehchaan legi….

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

Year 2002 shuru hua. Abhi ek bahut bada importer tha Japan se ISUZU make ki bus, 4x4, trucks aur alag alag kissam ki engine ki.

Sarkaar se zameen bhi mil gayi thi Abhi ko apne business ko expand karne ke liye… 5 acres zameen Sarkar ke taraf se lease par 100 saalon ke liye mila tha Abhi ko business ke liye. Lease ko renew karne ka right tha papers mein.

Abhi aur Navina ki koyi aulaad nahin the. Navina ko gynaecological issues the…. Shuru mein conceive kiya tha magar dard ke kaaran doctor ne injection se giraya…. Baad mein bahot saare test vaghaira ke baad pata chala ke Navina kabhi pregnant nahin ho sakti. Bahot saalon tak sab kuch try karne ke baad donon Abhi aur Navina ne decide kiya ke nahin chahiye bache donon khush hai bina bachon ke…. Baad mein adopt karenge aisa kaha donon ne magar nahin kiya wo bhi…..

Abhi tanhaayi mein kabhi yaad karta ke ussne kayi baar Ruhi se kaha tha ke ussko ek baby girl chahiye jo Ruhi ne kaha the ke wo ussko degi ek baby girl…. Abhi ko ladki hi chahiye tha…. Sirf Ruhi se yeh baat kiya tha Abhi ne Navina se nahin…. Magar Navina ne yeh usski diaries mein padha tha…. iss liye Navina ne Abhi ko ek ladki adopt karne ko kaha tha jo aaj tak nahin kiya tha donon ne…..

Year 2004, ek din Abhi University ke window pane alluminium frames mein lagwa raha tha…. of course, usske aadmi kaam kar rahe the to Abhi sirf financial deal ke liye gaya hua tha aur wapas aate hue ek bahot khubsurat ladki ne ussko phukara,

“Abhi! Hello, rukiye to!”

Abhi jab wapas muda to ek jaani pehchaani shakal usske saamne khada uss se muskura rahi thi…. Abhi sochne laga ke yeh kaun hai lagta hai ke iss se pehle mila hoon, hai kaun yeh aur mujhe kaise jaanti hai!!! (kaun guess kar sakta hai ke wo kaun thi?)

Update 53 Meeting Shweta After 18 Years​

Abhi yaad karne ki koshish mein laga hua tha ke wo ladki kaun hai, koyi 22 se 24 saal ki to hogi, bahut khubsurat thi, jab ladki ne dekha ke Abhi ussko nahin pehchaan raha to ussne kaha,

“Aap ne mujhe nahin pehchana wait main aap ko weise bulaati hoon jaise bulaati thi tab aap zaroor pehchanonge mujhe….”

Ladki ne kaha,

“Abhiiiiiiiiiii”

Abhi khada reh gaya, usske haath peyr kaamp uthe aur usske aankhen bharr aaye jab ussko pata chala ke wo Shweta thi….. 18 saal baad aaj Abhi ne ussko apne saamne dekha tha kaise pehchaanta wo usse….. Abhi ne apne baahon ko khol diya aur jaldi se Shweta usske baahon mein samaa gayi aur zor se jakar liya Abhi ko.

Abhi ke aansoo nahin ruk rahe the, wo khud ko sambhaal nahin paa raha tha uss bachi ko 18 saal ke baad apne baahon mein lekar, bolna chahta tha magar usske awaaz nahin nikal rahe the, usske hoonth kaamp rahe the, aankhon se aansoo bina ruke behte jaa rahe the…. Aakhir mein rote, sisakte hue hi Abhi ne pucha,

“Tumne mujhko kaise pehchana ri? Baby? Tu kitni badi ho gayi, tere baal weise hi hein, aur tere gaal par yeh dimple ab bhi hai, hmmm!!!”

Shweta bhi ro padi, ape apne aankhon ko ponchte hue Abhi ka haath pakar kar khinchte hue kaha,

“Chaliye udhar canteen mein baith kar baat karte hein aaiye nah!! aur aap ne mujhe baby kaha, main ab mummy ban gayi hoon!!”

Abhi ko aur jhatka laga aur kaha,

“What? Don’t tell me tu mummy ban gayi? How old are you Shweta?”

Shweta Abhi ke hath thaame khinchte hue canteen ke taraf badhti jaa rahi thi aur reply karte gayi,

“I am 24 now, I got married 2 years ago, meri baby 18 months ki hai abhi…. Hihihihihi!!!”

Abhi ne ek haath ko apne maathe par rakhte hue kaha,

“Oh my God!! Itne din guzar gaye kia? Kab kaise itne saal guzar gaye aur mujhe pata bhi nahin chala, mere zehen mein main ab bhi tumko wohi chhoti si Shweta visualise karta hoon jab bhi tumko sochta hoon to!”

“Aap ab bhi mujhko sochte ho Abhi? Main ne to socha aap mujhko bhool gaye hoge” Shweta ne canteen mein kursi khinchte hue pucha.

Abhi Shweta ke paas hi baitha opposite nahin kyunke Shweta ne hi kursi ko apne bagal mein rakha Abhi ko usske paas baithne ke liye.

Abhi ne apne haath ko Shweta ke gaal par ferrte hue bade pyar se dekha aur kaha,

“Agar aaj meri beti hoti to tumhare umar ki nahin to thodi kum hoti magar teri jaisi hi hoti, main ne hamesha apni beti ko tere roop mein socha tha….”

Shweta ne Abhi ke donon hathon ko apni muthi mein bhar ke apne goad mein rakha aur kaha,

“Aap ko pata hai main aap se love karne lagi thi…. Hihihihihi!!”

Abhi: “What? Shut up will you, you naughty girl!”

Shweta: “Main itni bhi bachi nahin thi Abhi, mujhe jab pata chala aur samajh mein aya ke aap kitna pyar karte the Ruhi di se, to main hamesha apne khayaalon mein aap jaisa koyi chaha apne life mein aaye… jab main teenager hui to aap ko sochne lagi aur apne mummy se kaha bhi ke main Abhi se pyar karti hoon. Kyunke mujhe pata tha ke Ruhi di se aap door ho gaye hein to main chahti thi ke main Ruhi di ki jagah aap ko itna love karun ke ap Ruhi di ko bilkool bhool jao…. That was a teenagers madness…. Aap kabhi nahin mile aap kabhi hamare ghar aaye bhi nahin…. Main jawaan hoti gayi to aap ko sirf aap ko sochti as my lover… main hamesha pray karti ke aap kahin mil jao mujhe ya hamare ghar ek baar to ajao uss din ki tarah chahe Ruhi ko dhundte hi sahi…. Magar aap kabhi nahin aaye…. Jab main 20 ki hui to main ne decide kiya ke aap ko talaash karungi…. Tab mummy ne kaha ke aap ki age aur mera age bilkool match nahin karega ek wedding ke liye…. Phir aap ko TV par dekha, bahut khushi hui… aap rich aur handsome lage tab bhi main ne mummy se zid kiya ke aap se hi shadi karungi… kyun ke aap rich the mummy aur daddy ko eitraz nahin tha they said love mein age matter nahin karta magar jab main ne search kiya to pata chala ke you are already married!!!! Main disappoint hua aur rone lagi thi… hehehehe!!!”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue Shweta ko suna aur kaha,

“Tum paagal ho yaar I am over 40 now sweetheart!”

Shweta: “So what? 40 se upar ho to kia hua? You are still dashing and look so handsone and young… Main 24 ki hoon kitne couples hein dunya mein jo aap se ziada aged hein aur unke wives meri umar ke hein… aap ne Johnny Halliday ko nahin dekha? Jissko ussne as a baby goad mein liya tha aaj ussi se shadi kiya hai…. She is 20 Haliday is 60!!! What say Abhi?!”

Abhi: “They are celebrities unnki dunya alag hote hein…. Acha tum sunao apne baare mein nah…. how are you Shweta, I am feeling so happy ke tum mere saamne ho aaj, really feeling so good to be with you!”

Shweta: “Why agar abhi aap ne shaadi nahin kiya hota to kia aap mujhse shaadi karne ko refuse karte kia? If you were not married, I would have asked you to marry me, mat kehna ke aap refuse karte mujhe! Dekho hum donon mein kitna bonding hai, hai nah? we would have been a great couple together… isn’t it Abhi? Aap bahot romantic insaan ho aur the… mujhe sab yaad hai kiss tarah aur kiss kadar aap Ruhi di ko love karte the… you were madly in love with her isn’t it Abhi?”

Abhi: “Ofo tum kitna bolti ho Shweta, tum bachpan mein hi aise hi bolti thi….”

Shweta: “Exactly main wohi Shweta hoon nah bahot bolti hoon, aur bolti rahungi…. Aap mujhe kyun nahin mile itne saalon tak? Aap ko hamara ghar ka pata tha to kyun kabhi bhi nahin aaye mujhse milne? MUJHSE to milne aa sakte the aap? Main aap ko kitna yaad karti thi, miss karti thi aap ko tabhi jab main bachi thi, 6 saal ki thi main, mummy se rote hue puchti thi ke Abhi kyun mujhse milne nahin ata, main aap ki raah dekhti thi…. Ruhi di ke ghar jaati to uss se rote hue aap ke baare mein puchti rehti thi, aap ko nahin pata main ne aap ko kitna yaad kiya, kitna miss kiya, kitna dhunda!! Bachpan mein aap ne mujhko bahot attention diya tha, I needed affection aur aap ne mujhe itna affection diya tha ke aap se pyar ho gaya tha mujhe…. Main badi hoti gayi tab bhi aap ko sochti rahi, life mein bilkool nahin bhula aap ko main, this is why I wanted to marry you! ”

Abhi ne Shweta ho hug kiya, apne baahon mein bhar liya, Shweta rone lagi, aur Abhi ke seene se lipte hue hi kaha,

“Aap ko ek secret bataani hai… jiss din aap hamare ghar aaye the uss din Ruhi di hamare ghar par hi thi!”

Yeh keh kar Shweta rone lagi aur Abhi ki shirt ko bhigo diya apne aansoo se…. Abhi bhi ro pada aur Shweta ke chehre ko apne haathon mein lekar kaha,

“mujhe shak tha, mujhe laga tha ke who wahin thi….

”

Shweta ne rote hue kaha,

“Mujhe bahot bura laga tha ke mumy aap se kitne jhoot bol rahe the, mera mann karta tha ke main aap ko bata doon ke Ruhi di upar kamre mein hai, mummy ne ussko band karke keys laga diye the door mein taake Ruhi di baahar nikal nahin paaye aur mujhko warn kiya tha ke khabardaar agar aap ko bataun….

Baat yeh hui thi ke jab aap ne knock kiya tha hum sab niche lounge mein hi the, Ruhi ne aap ko dekh liya tha aur Mummy ne kaha ke aap yahan bhi agaye kyunke aap unnse Super market mein pehle mil chuke the, tab mumy ne Ruhi se kaha ke wo ussko nahin milne de sakti aap se kyUnke wo aur meri chachi yane Ruhi ki mummy ke bante nahin the, meri mummy koyi responsibilities nahin lena chahti thi, to ussne Ruhi se kaha ke tum upar chalo ussko kahungi ke tum wapas chaLi gayi ho, khabardaar jo koyi awaaz kiya to….”

Abhi: “tumko sab yaad hai baby? hmm?”

Shweta ne rote hue jawaab diya,

“Haan sab kuch yaad hai mujhe, aap ne rote hue mummy se kaha tha ke aap Ruhi di ko kitna pyar karte ho aur uss se shadi karna chahte ho, sab yaad hai mujhe… aap ko rote hue dekh kar mujhko bahot rona aya tha uss din…. Main aap donon ko milana chahti thi…. Main ne aap ko bataane ki bahot koshish kiya tha magar mumy mujhko baar baar moti moti aankhon se dekhti aur mana karti thi…. Jab aap jaane lage the to mujhe zor se chilla kar aap ko bataane ka mann kiya tha ke Ruhi di yahin hai magar mummy ne mera munh daba diya tha uss waqt….”

Canteen mein ekaat students the jo Donon ke taraf dekh rahe the, Abhi ko acha nahin laga aur dhire se Shweta se kaha,

“hum bahaar nahin jaa sakte dekho sab log hum ko dekh rahe hein, tum ro raahi ho, main bhi ro raha hoon, sab sawaal karenge tumse….. chalo baahar campus mein kissi jagah ruk kar baar karte hein ya meri car mein chalo baith kar baat karenge….”

Shweta: “main kissi ko nahin jaanti.. main part time course karti hoon, sociology ki… I am a teacher…. And you wife gives me part time course on pedagogy, you know that?!!”

Abhi: “really? Aur tujhe pata hai ke wo meri wife hai?!”

Yes, jab aap ko magazine mein dekha, to search kiya net par, tab padha ke you are married to a lecturer…. Baad mein bahut search karne ke baad pata chala Navina maam aap ki wife hai… you deserved to have a good human like her to be your wife Abhi. She is a gem of a person….. Okay chalo aap ki car mein chalte hein wahan baat karenge….”

Car ke piche wale seat par donon baithe, aur Shweta ne Abhi ke gale mein apne baahon ko dala aur apni surili awaaz mein dhire se kaha,

“Mujhe kissy do jaise aap dete the bachpan mein…..”

Abhi ko laga ke Shweta ko affection ki bahot zaroorat hai, ussne kaske Shweta ko apne baahon mein bharke usske pure chehre par puppiyan kiye, aur Shweta rone lagi apne sar ko Abhi ke chati se laga kar….

Abhi inn donon ke beech aur bahot saare baatein honi hein, agle update mein continued hoga…. Aur bahot kuch saamne aane wale hein….

To be continued….

Update 54 Talking With Shweta​

“Mujhe kissy do jaise aap dete the bachpan mein…..”

Abhi ko laga ke Shweta ko affection ki bahot zaroorat hai, ussne kaske Shweta ko apne baahon mein bharke usske pure chehre par puppiyan kiye, aur Shweta rone lagi apne sar ko Abhi ke chati se laga kar….

Ab Aaguey….

To Abhi ne kaha,

“Ari itne saare kissy kiye to! ro kyun rahi ho ab?”

Shweta ek saath rote aur muskuraate hue ek bachkani harkat mein kaha,

“hmmm pata nahin kyun rona aya mujhe….”

Abhi ussko weise hi seene se lagaaye hue kaha,

“Aur ab mere kissy do mujhe jaise tum diya karti thi, yaad hai tum ne jab pehli baar mujhko kissy kiya tha tab buland awaaz mein keh diya tha sab ke saamne ke Ruhi ne tumko mujhe kissy dene ke liye kaha tha!!”

Shweta: “What? Sach? Aisa kaha tha main ne mujhe nahin yaad!”

Abhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“Haan main kaam se wapas ghar jaa raha tha, Ruhi kitchen ke stairs par khadi thi aur tum mujhko bye kehne aayi thi, aur mujhse tumne kaha, ‘“babye Abhi, niche jhuko tumko kissy karti hoon Ruhi ne kaha!”

Phir donon zoron se hanssne lage Shweta ki uss masoomiyat par aur Shweta ne kaha,

“Aap kitne oonche lagte the mujhe tab, aap ko jhukna hi padta tha mere height reach hone ke liye, mujhe yaad hai ek baar main Manoj ke saath aayi thi aur aap kitchen ke saamne baithe hue kaam kar rahe the to main bina Ruhi se mile aap se lipat gayi thi aur Ruhi kitna jealous ho rahi thi yaad hai aap ko?”

Abhi: “hahahahaha tumko wo sab yaad hai sweetheart? Mujhe to pura scene yaad hai, main kuch bhi nahin bhoola hoon baby…. uss din Manoj ke saath tum shooting dekhne gayi thi aur wapas aayi thi to main wahin kitchen mein mila tha tumhein, main uss raat ko wahan ruka tha yaad hai?!”

Shweta: “haan sab yaad hai mujhe, aksar sab yaad karti hoon main aap ko yaad karte hue; kia aap ko pata hai main kyun uss din aap se lipat gayi thi bina Rui se mile?”

Abhi: “kyun?”

Shweta: “Are simple! Iss liye ke aap baithe hue the to mujhe aap ko jhukne ko nahin kehna pada tha, direct aap ke goad mein chali gayi thi, aap khade hue hote to mujhe sar upar uthaake aap se baat karni padti nah issi liye, Ruhi samajhti nahin ke main kyun uss se mile bina aap se mil gayi thi main hihihihihi!”

Abhi: “how strange, you were only 6 years old phir bhi tumko sab kuch itna clearly yaad hai baby?!”

Shweta: “It is because I adored you, I loved you so much because you loved Ruhi so much, I wished I was Ruhi and you loved me that way, maybe I was jealous of Ruhi in fact!”

Abhi ne ab tak Shweta ko bahon mein jakra hua tha aur kaha,

“Don’t say that sweetheart, that was not jealousy darling, that was affection you got from me because I equally loved you loads too…. Agar tum uss time 18 ke upar ki hoti to shaayad main tumhare bare mein sochta agar Ruhi tab inkaar karti to, I am sure of that hehehehe!!.....

Iss liye ke tum mein aur Ruhi mein mujhe 95% of smililarities dikhte the…. Main ne Ruhi se kaha bhi tha ke tum junior Ruhi lagti ho mujhe… jab Ruhi tumhari umar ki rahi hogi to exactly weisi hi rahi hogi jaise tum thi….”

Shweta ne tab bilkool wo kiya jo kabhi Ruhi ne kiya tha…. Shweta ne apne hatheli ko Abhi ke chaati par ferra usske chaati ke baalon mein ungliyan ferrte hue aur apne sar ko wahan rakha….

Abhi ke jism mein jaise ek aag bhadka aur puraane din aur guzre hue lamhe wapas aaye….. Abhi ka dil zor se dhadka aur kaske Shweta ka haath ko apne haath mein jakarte hue ussko apne chati se door kiya ghaur se Shweta ke chehre mein ek ajeeb si naron se dekhte hue…..

Shweta ne pucha,

“Okay tab main 18 saal ki nahin thi, magar abhi 24 ki hoon to ab aap ko mujh mein wo Ruhi dikhti hai kyun ke unn dinon to Ruhi bhi takriban 20/21 ki hogi nah? so tell me now how closely do I look like her?!”

“mat pucho sweetheart, tumhare dimples ke ilawa sab kuch Ruhi hai tujh mein baby…. body, look, baal, muskuraahat, awaaz, bolne ki ada, thoda natkhatpan, naak modne ki ada, honthon ko twist karne ki ada sab bilkool Ruhi ki tarah hi hai tujh mein sweetheart…..”

Shweta: “Oh my God you make me love you even more, kissi ne meri itni taarif nahin kiye hein aaj tak husband bhi nahin ussko wo sab nahin dikhta jo aap ko dikhte hein…. Aap mujhko bahot ziada jaante ho…. aap ek true lover ho, aap ek ladki ki khubsurti pehchaante ho, aap ko ladki ki taarif karna ata hai ussko credit dena ata hai, aap ko koyi kaise pyar nah kare Abhi?!

Abhi ne Shweta ko ghaur se dekha aur pucha,

“how come you got married so early?”

Shweta: “because of you only!!”

Abhi: “What? How come? Main nahin samjha!”

Shweta: “Aap ki Diwani ho gayi thi, kissi bhi tarah aap ko paana chahti thi…. Jab pata chala ke you are married to ghar mein ghussa karne lagi, lagta tha depression mein chali jaungi, mummy nurse hai to ek doctor se milwaya mujhe treat karne ke liye aur ussko mujhse love ho gaya…. Main refuse karti rahi, mummy zor deti gayi ke acha ladka hai, doc hai main usske saath khush rahungi etc etc…. phir wo mujhko itna tang karne laga ke main ne aap ko socha jiss tarah aap Ruhi ke piche piche rehte the ussko dhundte rehte the yeh bhi weisa karne laga tha to main ne socha ke jiss tarah Ruhi ne aap ko tadpaya mujhe ussko nahin tadpana chahiye so I finally accepted! And mummy ne meri shadi karaa di ussi doc ke saath!!”

Abhi: “very good, acha kiya baby… I wish you all happiness in life my love.”

Shweta: “I AM NOT HAPPY ABHI…. NOT HAPPY AT ALL….. jaise ek duty nibha rahi hoon shaadi karke…. Wo doc hai jab dekho hospital, ya private consultation, kabhi raat ko thoda sa mila to bed par enjoy kar liya buss yehi hai hamara relation… ab mujhe kaam bhi karna, ghar bhi dekhna aur bache ka bhi khayal rakhna I am fed up…. He does not care for me like you would have cared… there is no love between me and him, it is just like an official matter, a duty towards each other respecting the marriage bond, that’s all!!”

Abhi: “You must talk to him Shweta. A conversation between both of you will settle the matter otherwise your married life will suffer!”

Shweta:”In vain Abhi, we have talked several times, he is not interested. He says his work is more important and it comes first of all in his life…. Its to no avail talking to him….. ab aap mil gaye ho to I have now a way to be happy…. Abhi aap mujhse hamesha ab milte rehna…..apna phone number do nah we will talk and sms whenever we want… I am so so happy to have found you back…. Oh my God, this is the best and happiest day in my life!”

Abhi ko Shweta se Ruhi ke baare mein puchne ka mann kar raha tha, magar socha ke khud Shweta ko apne taraf se kehne diya jaaye. Abhi chahta bhi tha uss se Ruhi ke baare mein puche aur nahin bhi chahta tha…. soch raha tha ke apne aap baat ayegi Ruhi ki Shweta ke taraf se…. magar 45 mins car mein baithe rehne ke baad bhi Shweta ne Ruhi ke baare mein ek bhi baat nahin kaha, sirf apne baare mein aur khud Abhi ke baare mei baat karti rahi aur aakhir mein kaha,

“Abhi main yahin rehti hoon, university se 10 mins drive hai mera ghar, aap mere ghar chalo nah please….”

Abhi: “magar tumhara course?!”

Shweta: “Its already late wo to kab ka shuru ho gaya, baad mein doston se notes le lungi, please lets to go my place please, please nah mat kehna!”

Abhi: “Aise achanak? Kaun kaun hai tumhare ghar par abhi?!”

Shweta: “koyi bhi nahin, I am alone!”

Abhi: “And your baby?!”

Shweta: “Wo mummy ke paas hai raat ko papa aur mummy ussko wapas mere ghar chorrne ayenge!”

Abhi: “aur your husband wo kab aega?!”

Shweta: “wo to abhi gaya mere yahan aane se pehle, night shift hai kal subha aega jab main college chali jaungi tab, we often do not even meet!”

Abhi:”Aur baby ka kia karti ho subha ko college jaane se pehle?!”

Shweta: “Ek nursery ki van ati hai subha baby ko lejate hein aur shaam ko mummy ke ghar chorr jaata hai wohi van.”

Abhi: “Oh that’s very hectic schedule! Mujhe nahin acha lag raha baby ko tumhara aur usski papa ka pyar aur affection nahin mil raha hai….”

Shweta: “mere saath bhi to exactly aisa hi hota tha nah Abhi that’s why I lacked affection and got attached to you, you were so caring, so loving, so affectionate to me….”

Abhi: “to tum apni baby ke saath kyun weisa kar rahi ho sweetheart? The baby needs your affection, you must take care of her…. Socho wo bhi ek din tumhari tarah kahegi ke ussko maa baap ka pyar aur sneh nahin mila….”

Shweta: “hmmmm weekends mein din bhar mere saath rehti hai, bahot pyar karti hoon usse, aur raat bhar bhi to mere se satt kar soti hai….

”

Abhi: “You need to be educated on how to raise a child sweetheart!!”

Shweta: “wo aap seekha dena abhi lets go at my place please Abhi!”

Abhi: “okay then let’s go ….”

Aur abhi drive karne laga Shweta ke new home ke taraf, Shweta aage baithi ussko guide kar rahi thi apne ghar ke taraf…

Update 55 Abhi At Shweta’s Place​

Iss update ko likhne se pehle main readers se ek darkhwast karta hoon ke koyi ghalat nah samjhe, koyi mujhse yeh nah kahe ke yeh main ne ghalat likha ya yeh nahin hona chahiye tha, ya aisa kyun hua, yeh sahi nahin hai etc.

Yeh ek aap beati hai, ek real mein guzri hui zindagi hai. Jo shaks yahan Abhi hai wo insaan aaj bhi zinda hai aur khud saare updates ko padhta hai, sab dekhta hai aur ussne bilkool wohi likhne ko kaha jo exactly hua tha usske life mein….. yeh paathakon mein sirf 2 logon ko pata hai, wo hai kamdev bhai aur Vikram Sing Rana bhai. Main ne unn donon ko real proofs diye hein. Ab sabko kissi ki real life ko to nahin kholke saamne rakh sakta to baaki ke mere pyare readers se guzarish hai ke yeh samjhe ke jo bhi hua Abhi, Ruhi, Shweta ke life mein sab sahi sahi sach mein weisa hi hua hai.

To aaj ke iss update se agar kissi ke dil ko thess pahunche to mujhe behad afsos hai magar mujhe wohi likhna hai jo assal mein hua tha, hua hai. Kuch der pehle main Kamdev bhai se iss baare mein baat kar raha tha ke yeh likhun ya issko skip karun… to kamdev bhai ne bhi kaha ke sahi sahi likho jo bhi hua tha weise hi, aur mera bhi yehi manna hai ke sab kuch exactly weise hi likhna chahiye jo hua tha, jo beeta tha…. kyunke mujhko Xossip ke zamaane se log incest writer ke naam se jaante hein, log ye soch sakte hein ke mere liye baayein haath ka khel hai ek situation create karna aur ek kahani banana, magar dosto yeh pehli kahani hai jo main create nahin kar raha…. Jo guzra hai wo likh raha buss shabd mere hein, sabhi situations etc sab exactly hue hein jo iss kahani mein shuru se end tak hua aur hone walaa hai….. to chaliye ab Abhi aur Shweta ke paas chalte hein….

Abhi: “You need to be educated how to raise a child sweetheart!!”

Shweta: “wo aap seekha dena abhi lets go at my place please Abhi!”

Abhi: “okay then let’s go ….”

Aur Abhi drive karne laga Shweta ke new home ke taraf, Shweta aage baithi ussko guide kar rahi thi apne ghar ke taraf…

Ab aaguey….

Ek aise ilaake se Abhi ke car guzra jahan sabhi highly qualified log rehte the, ilaka strictly residential tha, koyi dukaan, dhaaba, shop, factory kuch bhi nahin tha sirf bade bade makaan the, aur raasta bilkool saaf suthra, raaste par nah ek kutta, na kuch bhi nazar ata…. Fully residential area… aur Shweta ne “wait, wait, wait” kaha, phir thoda reverse lene ko kaha, Abhi ke left mein ek bahot khubsurat makaan tha jisski gate Shweta ko utar kar jaakar kholna tha, tab electronic door nahin lagaya gaya tha, (aaj woh gate remote se khulta hai)

Ruhi ne jhuk kar apne donon haathon se Abhi ko welcome karte hue car gate ke andar laane ko kaha, aur jab Abhi car sameth uss khubsurat makaan ke saamne ruka to Shweta ne gate ko band karke chalte hue car ke taraf badhi, tab tak Abhi car se nikal chuka tha makaan ko dekhte hue, appreciate karte hue….

Jab Shweta Abhi ke paas reach hui to apne baazu ko Abhi ke baazu mein dalte hue kaha,

“Welcome to my house Abhi, let’s go inside now.”

Shweta ne main door ko apne key se khola aur Abhi ke baahon ko thaame ussko andar khincha…. Thode zor se khincha ke Abhi ka jism Shweta ke jism se jaa takraya aur Abhi ne apne haath ko Ruhi ke kaandhe par rakh kar sar uthaa kar ghar ko dekhta gaya….. alishaan ghar tha, saaf, cham chamaata, upar jane wale stairs saamne the, Abhi ghar ko appreciate kar raha tha magar Shweta ki nazrein Abhi ke chehre par the…. Ek halki si Muskaan se shweta Abhi ko bade pyar se dekh rahi thi.

Abhi ne feel kiya ke Shweta ussko dekh rahi hai to bina ussko dekhe kaha,

“Aakhir ek doctor ka ghar hai khubsurat to hona hi tha…. kaafi mehnga ghar hai, acha khasa paisa laga hoga nah baby?!”

Shweta ne jawaab diya,

“kuch bhi nahin laga, usske pita ne diya hai yeh ghar ussko! Usske paas kahan se itna paisa ata aisa ghar lene ko?!”

Abhi: “Really? He has a good dad, phir usske pita ke paas bahot paisa hoga nah?!”

Shweta: “usske paas bhi koyi bada paisa waisa nahin, zamindaar tha apne zameen bech kar yeh ghar banwaya apne doctor bete ke liye, pita ne kaha aakhir mera beta doctor hai to ghar bhi izat wala chahiye mere doctor bete ko!!”

To Abhi ne Shweta ki gaal ko khinchte hue kaha,

“Anyway, meri shwetu ko to acha ghar mil gaya nah hehehe you are lucky sweetheart!”

Shweta: “kaahe ki lucky Abhi, I do not consider myself as lucky…. Dekho iss ghar ko, agar aap nahin hote to itne bade ghar mein main akeli hoti socho, bilkool akeli, sannata, tanhaayi…. Kiss kaam ka yeh ghar hmmm?!”

Abhi ne ek gehra saans liya aur kaha,

“you are too young iss liye abhi tumko isski ehmiyat nahin nazar arahi hai kuch saalon baad samjhogi ke iss ghar ki ehmiyat kia hai, aur ek do bache ho jaaye phir dekhna yeh ghar tumko chota dikhega!”

Shweta: “Aur ek nahin do bache Abhi? Nah. never one is enough! Nahin chahiye mujhe aur bache, bus hai ek….

”

Aur Shweta ne dhire se Abhi ke kaandhe se sar laga kar kaha,

“Weise agar aap se mile tab Manzoor hoga ek aur mujhe!!”

Abhi ne seriously Shweta ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Oh shut up Shweta, kia bakti rehti ho tum huh!”

Shweta gale pad gayi Abhi ki, usske gale mein baahein dal diye aur ek natkhati ada mein kaha,

“kyun? Naamumkin to nahin? hai nah, aap ab bhi stud ho, mat kehna ke aap se nahin hoga I bet you are still strong on bed kyun sweetheart hai nah?

Abhi hanssne laga, aur Shweta ke baahon ko apne gale se nikalte hue kaha,

“Tum ab bhi bilkool bachi ho, kia sochega tera husband hmm?!”

Tab Shweta ne Abhi ke kamar mein apna haath dala aur upar stair chadhne lage donon aur Shweta bolti gayi,

“Come on let me show you my bedroom, you will like that I am sure….”

Bedroom ka door open kiya Shweta ne aur phir se Abhi ke gale mein baahon ko lapeta aur dhire dhire apne bed ke taraf piche kadam lete hue Shweta badhi, aur bed reach hua to leyt gayi bed par jabke Abhi khada kamre ko chaaron taraf dekhta raha…. Phir Abhi ne kaha,

“Really bahot sannata hai, ek machar tak ki awaaz nahin sunaayi de rahi hai hehehehe, tumko hamesha music on rakhna chahiye ghar mein shwetu.”

Shweta bed par karwat badal kar apne pet par leyt kar Abhi ko ajeeb nazron se dekh rahi thi aur kaha,

“Aap mere paas aao nah Abhi, come sit here please….”

Abhi ko char kadam chal kar bed tak jana tha jo ussne tey kiya aur baitha bed par…. baith gaya to Abhi ki nazar Shweta ki tangon par gaye.. Shweta ne apni skirt ko hath mein thaame upar ke taraf uthaya hua tha, usski gori khub surat jaanghein nazar arahe the….. wo dekh kar Abhi ne nazron ko dusri taraf kar liya deewar par lage poster ko dekhte hue….. tab tak Shweta ne Abhi ke peeth par apne chhaati dabaate hue usske gardan ke piche wale jisse ko kiss kiya aur Abhi ke kaan mein dhime awaaz mein kaha,

“Abhi please kiss me, I need a kiss from you….”

Shweta ki saansein tez ho rahe the, Abhi usski garam saanson ko apne gardan par feel kar raha tha ke achanak Abhi khada hua Shweta ke chehre mein dekhte hue…..

Shweta ke aankhon mein aansoo the…. Wo thoda bahot kaamp rahi thi…. Abhi ghussa tha magar Shweta ke aankh mein aansoo dekh kar usska ghussa ghayab hua aur jaldi se Shweta ko baahon mein bhar kar pcuhne hi wala tha ke kia hua, ke tab tak Shweta ke honth Abhi ke munh par agaye, Abhi ne nah chahte hue bhi Shweta ko kiss kar liya magaar ek pal turant baad Shweta ko bed par push karte hue kaha,

“What’s wrong with you baby? kyun aisa behave kar rahi ho, mujhe jaana chahiye main jaa raha hoon….”

Jhapat kar Shweta bed se kudi aur bahot zor se Abhi ko jakarte hue usske shirt ke buttons ko khol kar usske chaati ko chumne aur chaatne lagi…..Abhi bahot pyar karta tha Shweta se to ussko dhitkar to nahin sakta tha, maar to nahin sakta tha, 18 saal baad aaj mile the to uss se khafa bhi nahin ho sakta tha, daant bhi nahin paa raha tha, bus ussne Shweta ke donon baazuwon ko pakar kar ussko alag karne ki koshish kiye jaa raha tha, ke Shweta ne phir apne munh ko Abhi ke munh se lagaya aaur iss baar Shweta ki jeeb Abhi ke honth aur danton se lage…… iss baar Abhi ko kuch hua….. wo hua jo 18 saal pehle hua tha….. (thodi der baad samjhata hoon kia hua ) pehle to jaldi se Abhi ne apne munh ko khola, jaan bujh kar khola iss baar ussne apne munh ko…. Tab Shweta ne apne jeeb ko Abhi ke munh mein dala….aur Abhi jamke Shweta ke jeeb ka rass chussne laga……

Ab Abhi ne aisa kyun kiya jo kuch der pehle inkaar kar raha tha aur Shweta ko push kar raha tha? Abhi ne sirf iss liye munh khola kyunke jiss waqt Shweta ne apne jeeb ko Abhi ke hoth aur daant par ferra to Abhi ko ek lazat yaad aayi jo 18 saal pehle ussne chakha tha….. iss liye ussne muhn khola aur jiss waqt Abhi ne Shweta ki jeeb ko apne munh mein liya ussi pal ko abhi 1986 mein chala gaya kyunke Shweta ke munh se EXACTLY wohi swaad araha tha jo 18 saal pehle Abhi ko Ruhi ke muhn se aate the….. Abhi ko yakeen nahin araha tha, kiss ke dauraan sabke aankhen automatically bandh hote hein to jab Abhi ke donon aankhen bandh hue to ussko laga ke usske baahon mein Ruhi hai aur Ruhi ko kiss kar raha hai…..

Har munh ki ek alag swaad hoti hai… khud abhi ko experience tha, Ruhi ki alag, Navina ki alag….. magar jab Shweta ki munh ka swaad aya Abhi ke munh mein to ussko sirf aur sirf Ruhi feel hone laga….. aur ab kiss ke dauraan jab Abhi ke haath ne Shweta ke kaandhe se hokar usski peeth par kiya tab bhi exactly ussko Ruhi ki jism feel hue, aur sabse badi baat jo badan ki khushbhoo hoti hai har ek aurat ki alag khushbhoo…… wo khushbhoo pichle 18 saalon se Abhi ke zehen mein quaid the…. Abhi aaj bhi Ruhi ki jism ki khushbhoo ko nahin bhula tha aur aaj Shweta ki jism se exactly wohi khushbhoo arahe the Abhi ko…. Shweta ko kiss karte karte Abhi rone laga, usske haath peyr kaampne lage, usske aansoo Shweta ke chehre par tapak rahe the… Shweta bhi rone lagi magar koyi kiss ko nahin rok rahe the, rote hue donon ek dusre ke jeeb ko chusse jaa rahe the…. Aabhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia ho raha hai MAGAR SHWETA KO SAB PATA THA KE ABHI KIA FEEL KAR RAHA THA USS WAQT…..

Abhi ki aadat thi Ruhi ke seene par sar rakhne ko tabhi wo Ruhi ke seene ki khushbhoo, aur usski baazu ke niche ki wo bhu sunghta tha…. aur iss waqt Abhi ne ab kiss ko roka aur Shweta ke chaati par apne chehre ko dabaya…. Of course Shweta ke boobs par usska chehra daba, aur Abhi ne lambi aur gehri saans lekar sungha uss jagah ko….. Abhi uss waqt jaise ek kutta tha, paagal kutta tha uss waqt jaise wo kissi junglee jaanwar ko ek kutta dhundta hai uss tarah se Abhi Shweta ke baahon ko upar utha kar usski baazu ke niche sungh raha tha, phir usski blouse ko khol kar usske bra ke bich usski cleavage ke bich naak ghussa kar sungh raha tha aur zoron se rote hue abhi ke munh se yehi naam nikla …..

RUHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!”

Aur Abhi ne Shweta ko bahon mein bhar kar bed par baith gaya ek chote bache ki tarah rote hue….. Shweta boot bani Abhi ke baahon mein quaid chup chap sab sun rahi thi…. Wo ro nahin rahi thi…. Abhi ko rote hue sun rahi thi…. Abhi rota gaya aur dhire dhire Shweta ne apne bra ke cup se apne boob ko azaad kiya aur apne boob ko Abhi ke muhn tak legayi….. Abhi ne Shweta ke boob ko munh mein lekar chussne laga naak se behte paani ko khinnchte hue, aur Shweta ka haath Abhi ke pant ke upar usske sex par pahuncha…. Abhi shocked nahin hua…. Abhi ko lag raha tha ke Ruhi usske baahon mein hai, jo wo 18 saal pehle nahin kar paaya tha aaj ussko wo mauka dobara mil raha tha wo sab karne ke liye iss liye wo yeh mauka nahin gawana chahta tha…. jaise ek madhoshi ki aalam mein giraftaar tha uss waqt Abhi…..

Shweta ki jism se sirf aur sirf Abhi ko Ruhi ki jism ki khushbhoo arahe the iss liye Abhi uss khusbhoo ko iss baar khona nahin chahta tha, is baar uss se door nahin hona chahta tha…. Abhi ka jamke khada ho gaya tha aur Shweta ka haath Abhi ke sex par pahuch gaya tha, Shweta ussko sehla rahi thi…. Aur Abhi ne shweta ko leyta diya bed par, Shweta leyt gayi aur khud apne kapdon ko utara aur khud Abhi ke kapde bhi Shweta ne nikala jabke Abhi paagalon ki tarah Shweta ki jism ki, figure ki, usski har ek curve, usski rangat, sab kuch ghaur se mehsoos kar raha tha; sab ka moaena kar raha tha uss waqt ko yaad karte hue jiss roz Ruhi ki maa usski nani ke ghar gayi thi aur Abhi lunch ke liye gaya tha usske baad bed par Ruhi ke saath jo haseen lamhe guzare the Abhi ne, iss waqt Abhi ko wohi lamhaat yaad arahe the aur mehsoos kar raha tha aur uss raat ko bhi jab Ruhi ne Abhi ke saamne apne nighty pehni thi bina bra ke aur Abhi ne kaise apne chehre ko usske boobs par dabaate hue usski khushbhoo ko sungha tha…. iss waqt Abhi unhi lamhon ko dobara jee raha tha…. ussko hosh hi nahin raha ke Ruhi hai ya Shweta…..

Ussko ek zaroorat feel hone lagi thi iss waqt, uss taraf Shweta bharpur saath de rahi thi, balke wo to yehi chah rahi thi…. Aur donon hum bistar hue….. Abhi hanff raha tha…. Shweta ne Abhi ko apne andar liya aur ek patli si awaaz nikli Shweta ki aur ussne bahot zor se Abhi ko apne naazuk baahon mein jakra aur Abhi ki full penetration Shweta ke andar gaye….. Aur aage sab jo hona tha hua……

Donon aadhe ghante tak bina kuch bole ya ek dusre ko dekhe khamosh leyte rahe bed par…. donon bilkool nange the…. Shweta ke seene par ab bhi Abhi ke chehra daba hua tha…. Aadha ghanta ho gaya tha sex kiye hue, phir bhi Abhi ab bhi Shweta ke boob par chehra dabaaye hue tha, aur Shweta bilkool hil dol nahin rahi thi…. Abhi ko apne chaati par support kar rahi thi buss Shweta ki ungliyan Abhi ke baal ko sehla rahe the….

Abhi ne tab dabbe awaaz mein kaha,

“yeh bilkool thik nahin hua baby, yeh nahin hona chahiye tha, oh my God yeh main ne kia kar diya!!”

Shweta ne abhi ko “SShhhhh” kaha aur dhire se Abhi ke underwear ko tango ke bich pehnaate hue kaha,

“Kuch bhi bura nahin hua, jo hua acha hua, I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN ABHI don’t you understand? Yeh main chahti thi… I loved you for so many years and I wanted this to happen and I want this to happen even more and more!!”

Abhi ne apna pant pehente hue kaha,

“No very wrong, bilkool ghalat hua yeh!”

Shweta nude hi rahi bed par aur argue karti rahi Abhi se ke kuch ghalat nahin kiya donon ne, Shweta ne kaha,

“You are a male, I am a female, so this had to happen, nothing wrong in this, I was consensual Abhi, you must not feel guilty at all! I really wanted this to happen, we are both adults so why to regret or feel guilty sweetheart?!”

Abhi ne shirt bhi pehen liya aur wahan se jaane laga…. Ussi nude haalat mein Shweta usske piche daudi aur Abhi ko piche se jakar kar rukne ko kaha, Abhi ne kaha ke nahin ussko wapas jaana hai, Shweta rone lagi aur zid kiya Abhi ko rukne ke liye, Abhi stairs utarne laga tha aur Shweta nude hi usske piche utar rahi thi tab Abhi ne ruk kar kaha,

“Will you please go and put on your dress Shweta?”

Shweta ne inkaar karte hue Abhi ke gale mein weise hi apne baahon ko dala aur Abhi se usski mobile number liya aur tab jaane ko kaha yeh kehkar ke wo ussko text karegi …..

Aur Abhi wahan se nikal aya……

Drive karte hue Abhi ab bhi Shweta ki jism ki khusbhoo ko mehsoos kar raha tha, wo bahot heyraan ho raha tha ke ek cousin sister ki jism mein kaise uss tarah se exact Ruhi ki jism ki khushbhoo ho sakta tha… aur Shweta ki jism ki har ek curve bhi exactly Ruhi ki jism jaisa tha…. Abhi ko bilkool nahin lag raha tha ke ussne Shweta ke jism ko apne baahon mein bhara hua tha 100% Ruhi ko baahon mein liya hua tha aisa lag raha tha Abhi ko… 1% ki bhi difference nahin dikh raha tha Abhi ko… wo bahot door tak chala gaya drive karte hue magar tab bhi Shweta ko apne baahon mein mehsoos kar raha tha….. ussne achaanak brake lagaya aur Uturn liya wapas Shweta ke ghar jaane ke liye….

Update 56 Abhi Went To See Her Again​

Abhi ko bilkool nahin lag raha tha ke ussne Shweta ke jism ko apne baahon mein bhara hua tha 100% Ruhi ko baahon mein liya hua tha aisa lag raha tha Abhi ko… 1% ki bhi difference nahin dikh raha tha Abhi ko… wo bahot door tak chala gaya drive karte hue magar tab bhi Shweta ko apne baahon mein mehsoos kar raha tha….. ussne achaanak brake lagaya aur Uturn liya wapas Shweta ke ghar jaane ke liye….

Ab aaguey….

Abhi ne 20 minats tak aguee drive kar liya tha phir wahan se Uturn karke wapas Shweta ke ghar ke taraf aur 20 minats laga reach hone mein matlab 40 mins ke baad jab Shweta ke ghar ke paas aya to ek car dekha usski gate ke andar aur ek aadmi utar raha tha car se…..

Turant Abhi ne mobile nikala….

(Ab last update mein jab main ne likha tha ke Shweta ne Abhi ka number liya tha to main ne socha tha koyi reader ye sawaal karega ke kaise number liya jab uss waqt wo nude thi aur nangi Abhi ke gale mein baahein daale hue thi to Abhi ka number kaise liya tha Shweta ne…. magar kissi ne sawaal nahin kiya) to bata doon ke uss waqt Shweta ne Abhi ke jeb se ussi ki mobile lekar apni mobile par call kiya tha jiss se Abhi ka number chala gaya tha usski mobile par…

To iss waqt jab Abhi ne ek car dekha to ussko doubt hua ke wo uska pati hoga, iss liye jaldi se, iss se pehle ke wo ghar ke andar daakhil ho, Abhi ne Shweta ko call kiya jissne turant phone reply kiya,

“Abhi yakeen nahin tha itni jaldi phone karoge aap miss karne lage mujhe aap abhi se hi hihihihi!”

Abhi: “ari paagal ladki dekh tere aangan mein kaun hai kia wo tera husband hai ke nahin?!”

Shweta: “ofo haan baba wohi hai ussne abhi sms kiya tha ke aa raha hai….. magar aap kidhar ho nahin gaye abhi tak tabse yahi ho kia road pe?”

Abhi: “wo andar aa raha hai main wapas jaa raha hoon, we will talk later aur please itna khayal rahe ke mera number usske haath nahin lage bye…”

Shweta: “Abhi uss ko bataungi ke hum mile the aaj… he must know you so that you may come at my place any day, any time…. I will someday introduce you to him oaky?!”

Abhi: “Bilkool bhi nahin, yeh ghalati mat karna Shweta please…. Bilkool bhi mat batana ke hum mile the, mere baare mein ek bhi lavz mat kehna usse tumko meri Kassam samjhi?!”

Shweta: “okie ab Kassam diya hai to nahin bataungi… ok bye bye bye wo andar agaya hai see you later muuuuuaaaah”

Aur Shweta ne call kaat diya….. Abhi wahin car mein baitha usske ghar ke taraf dekhta raha phir khud se kaha;

“kamaal hai yeh ladki, abhi kia se kia ho jata, kia hota agar main andar hota aur yeh usska husband chala aata jaise abhi aya hai to?! Shukar hai ke main ne apne aap wapas jaane ko decide kiya…. Magar Shweta ne kaha ke wo kaam par chala gaya hai to yeh iss waqt kaise ghar aaya hai?! Pffffff great escape Abhi!!”

Aur Abhi wapas chala gaya….. apne garage gaya, jahan ussko khabar mili ke Saeed ko lakwa maar gaya ussko hospital lejaya gaya ha company ki transport se….

To Abhi wahan se jitna jaldi ho saka hospital gaya…. Kuch der baad ussko Saeed se ward mein milne diya gaya…. Saeed ka munh tedha ho gaya tha bol nahin paa raha tha, dayaan haath aur peyd numb the kaam nahin kar rahe the, chehra eintha hua tha Aaeed ne Abhi ko baayaan haatn se ishaare se bulaya apne paas…. Usske aankhon se aanson jaari the, Abhi usske paas gaya aur apne kaan ko Saeed ke muhn ke paas kiya…. Saeed ke bol samajhne layak nahin tha, kuch iss tarah bol raha tha,

“aaaabb …bh bb hhii meeueuuu neeuuu jhhuuut bola thaaaa..”

Kayi baar ussko repeat karne ko bola Abhi ne tab samajh mein aya ke saeed bol raha tha ke ussne jhoot bola tha…

Aadha ghanta laga Abhi ko Saeed se sab bataane ke liye aur kissi tarah se bhi Saeed ne kaha ke ussne jo bhi kaha tha Mehboob aur Ruhi ke baare mein sab jhoot tha, wo garage mein apna kaam nahin khona chahta tha iss liye ussne saari baatein banaaye the kyunke ussko pata tha ke Abhi kabhi bhi wahan nahin jaega puchne ke liye wo saari baatein…. Saeed ne rote hue Abhi se maafi maange apne uss jhoot ke liye aur ussne kaha ke Ruhi aur Mehboob ke bich kuch bhi nahin tha, Ruhi balke Mehboob ko ek pita ki tarah dekhti thi aur uss se darrti thi kyunke Mehbob usske saath strict tha kissi vajah se!

Abhi ko zoron se saeed ko gaali dene ka mann kar raha tha, ussko usske tedhe muhn par ek ghunssa maarne ko mann kar raha tha, magar apna sayyam rakhte hue dhire se Abhi ne uss se kaha,

“Karma kia hota hai pata chala Saeed? Dekh kia haalat ho gayi teri…. Khud ko dekh baat bhi nahin kar paa raha hai, tera jism khud tera saath nahin de raha kyunke teri rooh sadh chuki hai, jaa bhagwaan tera decide karega ab!”

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

Uss raat ko Abhi ne Navina se pucha,

“Tumhari university ke students mein ek Nunhuck naam ki ladki hai?”

Yaad karte hue Navina ne kaha,

“hmmm Nunhuck? Surname hai nah?!”

Abhi: “Tumko yeh surname nahin pata? Diaries mein mere padhi thi nah?!”

Navina: “Oh!! Ruhi ka surname hai nah? To kaun student hoga mere class mein nahin yaad mujhe! Ho sakta hai ussko usske first name se jaanti hoon….. magar kyun? Kia hua?!”

Abhi: “First name hai Shweta…. Issko bhi tumne padha tha nah diaries mein?!”

Navina: “Oh haan Shweta Nunhuck pedagogy class mein bolo nah… English ki class mein soch rahi thi main haan hai wo mere pedagogy ki part time course mein kyun?!”

Abhi: “Are what kyun?? Tumko Shweta nahi yaad diaries wali? Jo mujhko Abhiiiiii kehkar bulaati thi!!”

Navina ki chehre mein ek chamak dikhi aur bade pyar se pucha,

“areeeee wo aap ko mili kia? Kaise pata aap ko ke wo meri student mein se hain batao batao kaise mili aur ussko kaise pata ke main aap ki wife hoon? Tell me tell me all please….”

Abhi ke chehre mein bahot Khushi chhalak rahe the, Navina khush thi Abhi ko itna khush dekh kar aur Abhi ne kaha,

“Main ne to ussko pehchaana hi nahin 18 saal baad dekha ussko, main to ussko wohi chhoti se 6 saal ki bachi ke roop mein sochta hoon aur aaj wo khud ek maa hai…. Aaj main university gaya hua tha aluminium windows frame ke sislsiley mein aur Shweta ne mujhe dekh kar pehchaan liya aur mujhko phukara….. aur hamari baat hui to tumhara naam aya to ussne kaha ke wo tumhari bhi student hai….”

Navina: “Wow, 18 saal baad bhi ussne aap ko pehchaan liya aur baat karne aayi aap se. kaise feel hua aap ko?!”

Abhi: “ussko hug karke main ro pada, wo bhi ro padi….

Hum donon ek dusre ke bahot close the……”

Aur Abhi ke dimaagh mein Shweta ke saath bed par guzaare lamhaat yaad aaye to wo chhup ho gaya aur uth kar apne study room mein chala gaya……

Der raat tak baitha raha uss room mein aur Shweta ki message aayi usske mobile par. Likha tha

“Good night, sweet dreams my very loving stud! Will talk to you tomorrow. Do not reply please he is here. Bye muuuuuaaaah. Love you.”

Abhi ne turant message ko delete kiya. Aur apne peshani ko haath mein thaam kar desk par apna sar rakh diya….

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

Dusre din subha subha Shweta ki message aayi good morning wali aur saath saath yeh likha tha ussne;

“Aaj wo night shift karega please come to my house, I want to spend the night in your company and you will be able to see my baby doll too. Don’t refuse please I need you.”

Abhi ne reply nahin kiya. Phir din ke karib barah baje ek aur message aya Shweta ki taraf se, iss baar Abhi ne reply kiya;

“I do not want to take any risk and make you get troubles…. Uss din ko dekha nah wo kaise achanak ghar agaya tha, kia hota agar main andar hota tere bed par uss waqt? To hum kia karte? Tum kia jawaab deti ussko?”

Shweta ne Abhi ki message padhne ke baad turant ussko call kiya. Abhi ne call liya, Shweta ne kaha,

“Ofo aap darrte ho abhi? Aap to darrne walon mein se bilkool bhi nahin the, aur sunon Mera husband bina mujhko sms ya call kiye kabhi bhi ghar nahin ata pata hai kyun? Iss liye ke usske aane se pehle mujhko gate jaa kar kholna padta hai ussko andar aane ke liye. So, don’t worry he will never come inside the house till I am not made aware that he is coming!”

Abhi: “Aur kal kia ussne aane se pehle tumko bataya tha?!”

Shweta: “of course bataya tha, aap ke jaane ke baad main gate bandh karke ghar ke andar chali aayi tab usska call aya to main phir baahar gayi gate khola aur wapas ghar mein aayi tab usska car andar aya tha usske baad aap ne phone karke baat kiya tha mujhse….”

Abhi khamaosh ho gaya. Shweta ne phir kaha,

“Aap meri baby se nahin milna chahte? Please ana nah raat ko Abhi!”

Abhi: “Aur main Navina se kia kahunga ke raat ko kahan jaa raha hoon? Isske baare mein socha hai tum ne?!”

Shweta ne ek bachi ki tarah natkhati awaaz mein kaha,

“hmmm pleeaaasssseeee aap koyi bhi bahana bana sakte ho nah? ghar jana hi nahin keh dena ke kissi friend ke ghar jaa rahe ho, ya garage mein log overtime kar rahe hein ya kuch bhi aap ko bahana banana nahin ata kia Abhi?!”

Abhi: “main jhoot nahin bolta Shweta tumko pata hai…. Mujhe nahin achah lagega Navina se jhoot bolte hue….”

Shweta: “Aur aap ko achcha lagega mujhko tadpaate, tarsaate hue? Hmm Abhi? Main phir bhi aap ka wait karungi, text karungi aap ko raat bhar….. I WILL KEEP WAITING SWEETHEART!”

Abhi chhup ho gaya aur call end kiya donon ne. Abhi gehre soch mein pad gaya Shweta ko sochte hue…. Ussko ek kissam ka darr lag raha tha, ussko sab ghalat lag raha tha…. magar phir Shweta ki jism ki khushbhu Abhi ko paagal karta….. wo Ruhi ki jism ko phir sochta….. kal jitna acha mehsoos hua tha ussko Shweta ke saath usski jism ke har ek ang ko taraashte hue wo sab Abhi ke zehen mein baar baar ata rehta aur yeh sab Abhi ko bahot pareshaan karta…..

Raat hui. Abhi ghar wapas chala gaya. Dinner ke baad Tv dekh raha tha Navina ke saath ke usski mobile par message aya Shweta ki…. Mobile ko Abhi ne silent mode par kar rakha tha… Abhi toilet jaane ke bahane mesg read kiya; Shweta ne likha tha ke wo wait kar rahi hai, Abhi ko ana hi padega, aur likha the ke car ko usske ghar se thoda door raaste par hi park karke gate kholke andar ana, aate hue call karen aur Shweta ussko receive karegi….

Abhi ne reply nahin kiya. Wapas TV ke saamne baith gaya….. Aur Navina ne kaha ussko neend arahi hai wo sone jaa rahi hai to Abhi ne usse jaane ko kaha.

Garage mein assal mein aksar raaton ko ek team jo shift mein kaam karte the weh log aaj kaam kar rahe the kyunke kal ek bus ki delivery karni thi, full new bus thi.

Abhi ne sach mein garage jaane ka mann banaya aur Navina se kaha ke kuch der baad wo garage jaega aur late wapas aega.

TV on tha, Abhi dekh to nahin raha tha magar soch raha tha, usska mann kahin aur hi tha…. Abhi ke dimaagh mein Shweta ki jism ki khushbhoo jaise shor macha raha tha…. Abhi ko dobara usski jism ko sunghne ka mann karne laga, jiss tarah se ussko apne baahon mein bharke usske har ang ko feel kiya tha wo phirse mehsoos karne ka mann karne laga….. raat ki tanhaayi mein jab aise khayaalaat mann mein aate hein to ek raat hi hoti hai jo aise khwahishon ko hakikat mei badalne ki taaqat rakti hai… aur yeh raat hi hoti hai jo aise armaanon ko aur bhi jagaate hein mann ke andar….. Abhi ka mann danwaa dol ho raha tha, haan ya nah, jaun ke nahin jaaun? Aur itne mein ek aur message aya Shweta ki, likha tha,

“Don’t make me suffer please, aap ko achi tarah se pata hai tadapna kia hota hai, Ruhi ne aap ko bahot tadpaya tha nah? To aap socho aap iss waqt mujhko tadpa rahe ho, meri kia kusoor agar aap ko chaha main ne? Main kiss ko apne dil ke pida ko bataun Abhi? Ek aap hi ho jo mujhe samajh sakte ho kyunke aap iss se guzar chuke ho…. to mujhe umeed hai, aas lagaaye baithi hoom ke kuch der mein aap meri baahon mein honge aur mujhe itni Khushi denge ke main tarr tarr ho jaungi – WAITING FOR YOU MY LOVE.”

Iss message ko padh kar Abhi utha aur apne garage se car nikala aur fast drive karte hue badhne laga Shweta ke ghar ke taraf…. Shweta ko sochte hue hi drive kiye jaa raha tha, assal mein wo usske jazbaaton ka kadar karta tha, samajhta tha shweta ko, usski takliff ko, khaas kar jo sharirik sambandh kal kar chuka tha…..

Abhi samajh raha tha ke do jimson ke milan ke baad alag rehne se kitna takliff hoti hai, ek pyas hoti hai jo badhne lagti hai ussko bujhaane ke liye milna sakht zaroori hota hai varna mann ka pida itna badhta hai ke, dil, jism, aur jaan, sab ko dukh hote hein aur wo sehna bada mushkil hota hai. Abhi se ziada kaun samajh sakta tha uss takliff ko.

Jitna Shweta ka ghar karib araha tha Abhi ke dil ka dhadkan utna badhta chala jaa raha tha aur usske saanson mein Shweta aur Ruhi ke jism ke khushbhoo ziada karib hote hue mehsoos kiye jaa raha tha….. wo feeling hota hai nah, kissi khubsurat ladki ke jism ko apne baahon mein lena, mehsoos karna, khaas kar jab wo nivastra ho….. yeh wo alag feeling hoti hai jo ek baar weisa feel kar liya to baar baar ussko feel karne ki chahat man mein unbarne lagta hai. Abhi ke mann mein iss waqt wohi wala feel ho raha tha Shweta ko yaad karte hue aur ussko pata tha ke Shweta ko 100 guna ziada weisa feel ho raha hoga…. Shweta ke liye Abhi kabhi afsos feel kar raha tha, taras araha tha ussko Shweta par, aur ussko sach mein khush dekhna chahta tha Abhi.

Car ko Shweta ke ghar ke thoda door raaste par hi park karke ussne Shweta ko call kiya. Raat ke 11.30 hua tha. Turant Shweta ne uthaya, aur baat kiye, Shweta balcony se Abhi ko dekh rahi thi aur phone par hi keh rahi thi kaise gate ko khola jaaye…. Wo ho gaya, wapas gate ko bandh kiya aur Abhi pahuncha Shweta ke tearrace par jahan jaldi se Shweta bhaagi hui aayi Abhi ko apne baahon mein bahot zor se bhadne ko…..

Subha 3 baje tak donon ek saath rahe Shweta ke bed par….. bahot Khushi diye donon ne ek dusre ko….Abhi ko sirf Ruhi feel hua phir se ishk karte waqt, Abhi phir sawaal karne wala tha Ruhi se ayn waqt par Shweta ki baby jaag gayi aur rone lagi, to Shweta ne ussko pilaya aur sula diya…. Abhi ne baby ko goad mein liya kuch der bade pyar se ussko dekhte hue aur Shweta aur uss baby ke chehre mein difference ko dekhte hue….

3.30 ho gaye the aur Abhi ne shweta se phir kaha ke yeh sab thik nahin sab rokna chahiye donon ko….. Shweta ne kaha,

Main kissi se badla le rahi hoon yeh sab karke baad mein aap ko samjhaungi, ab badla lete hue khud aap se itna lagao ho gaya ke aap ke bina ab raha nahin jaata…..”

Abhi ne heyraani se Shweta ko dekhte hue kaha,

“Tum agar apne doctor sahab se kissi baat ka baadla le rahi ho to iss mein main shaamil ho raha hoon jo nahin hona chahiye, tum iss tarah se mujhko istemaal kar rahi ho…. humko yeh sab rokna chahiye, yeh ek khatarnaak khel hai jisska end bhayaanak bhi ho sakta hai Sweetheart…..”

Shweta kehne kuch aur ja rahi thi magar keh kuch aur baithi,

“Okay abhi shuruwaat hai iss liye aap se milne ka mann kiya, chalo ek time table banaate hein ke kiss kiss din ko milenge…. Hafte mein 1 baar thik rahega what say?!”

Abhi: “No, not at all… bilkool rokna hoga hamesha ke liye…. Kabhi sochta hoon 18 saal baad kyun hum mile, humko milna hi nahin chahiye tha Shwetu!”

Shweta ne apne baahon ko Abhi ke gale mein lapette hue ek bahot seductive manner mein pucha,

“Aap reh paoge ab mere baghair? Mere jism se aap ko jisski feel aati hai aap usske bina reh paoge Abhi?!”

Abhi ke honth thartharaa gaye Shweta ko jawaab dete hue,

“haan reh lunga, jaise itne dinon tak raha tha….”

Shweta: “hmmm sweetheart, itne dinon tak rahe the kyunke main mili nahin thi, ab mil gayi hoon aur aap mujhe chakh chuke ho to rehna asaan nahin hoga mere bina…. Lahu munh lag gaya…. Samjhe kia huzoor?! Hehehehe!!”

Abhi ne mann mein socha ke Shweta sahi keh rahi thi, magar filhaal ussko jaldi tha ghar wapas jaane ko wo Navina ko sochne laga tha iss liye jitna jaldi ho saka wahan se nikla….. Shweta ne Abhi ko ek lamba passionate kiss kiya terrace par nikalte waqt.

Update 57 Abhi Learnt Something About Manoj ​

Dosto main kuch vakiyaat skip kar raha hoon ab…. Zaroori hai skip karna kyun ke Shweta aur Abhi ka yeh Rishta 6 saal tak chala. Sab bahot repetitive lagega agar inn 6 saalon ko likha gaya to, brief mein 6 salon ko bata deta hoon phir jo khaas hein wo likhta hoon….

Shweta ne kuch mahine baad doctor se divorce le liya…. Ussko passand hi nahin tha uss doctor ke saath rehna wo sach mein khush nahin thi, Doctor money minded aur workaholic tha, Shweta ka bilkool khayal nahin rakta tha, sirf apne private consultation aur hospital se ussko jaise pyar tha…. apni bachi tak ko bhi nahin pyar karta tha, wo business minded aadmi tha ussko kabhi shaadi karna hi nahin chahaiye tha…. hamesha Shweta se jhagda hota, aur jab Shweta ne divorce chaha to doctor ne asaani se turant accept kiya aur Shweta chali gayi apni maa ke ghar rehne bachchi ke saath. Doctor ne bachchi ko bhi nahin lena chaaha… magar har mahine bachchi ko alimony dena pada usse court ki divorce rule ke zarye se.

Inn 6 saalon mein Abhi ne ek baar bhi Shweta se Ruhi ke baare mein baat hi nahin kiya. Uss aangan aur wahan ke logon ke baare mein ek din bhi baat nahin hue donon ke bich halaan ke Shweta ke dil ke andar ek bahot bada raaz chhupa hua tha jissko wo bhi kayi baar Abhi se kehna chaahi magar keh nahin paayi….

Shweta ne socha shuru mein hi ussko Abhi se uss raaz ke baare mein batana chahiye tha magar wo kissi se badla lene par tuli hui thi iss liye kabhi baat ko cherr hi nahin paayi, aur kyunke Abhi ne bhi kabhi sawaal nahin kiya to Shweta ne bhi kabhi kuch nahin bataya…. Aur weise donon har roz to nahin milte the, hafte mein ek baar varna mahine mein do baar milne lage the jabse Shweta apni maa ki ghar chali gayi thi. Abhi ko Shweta ne apni maa ke yahan milne ko kaha magar Abhi ne inkaar kiya….

Shweta ne kaha ke ghar ana aur Abhi bankar hi ana, wo apni maa se kahegi ke Abhi se mulakaat hui itne saalon baad mile to ussko ghar par invite kiya donon dost hein etc…

Phir mauke ke hisaab se phir bhi Abhi gaya Shweta se uss ghar mein milne magar tab, jab Shweta ke pita ka (yaane Ruhi ke chacha ka) swargwaas ho gaya tab kayi baar Abhi gaya uss ghar mein raat ko Shweta se milne, kaise? Iss liye ke jab Shweta ki maa night shift karti thi, nurs thi nah, to unn raaton ko Shweta Abhi ko milne ke liye zid karti…. To uss tarah se kayi baar Abhi gaya uss ghar mein Shweta se milne…. Varna din mein milte the jab Shweta school se nikalti, Abhi kissi hotel mein room book kar leta tha aur donon weise milte rahe 6 saalon tak….. aur 6 saalon baad kuch aisa hua jo Shweta ne socha bhi nahin tha ke weisa kabhi hoga…..

Magar wo hone se pehle ek khaas baat aur hui aur iss khaas baat ke zarye wo baat hui jo Shweta ne socha nahin tha

December 2010

Shweta ki beti ka naam Aaruhi tha…. Ek din Abhi ne iss par Shweta se sawaal bhi kiya tha ke bachchi ke naam mein kyun Ruhi ka naam lagaya hai Shweta ne, aur jawaab mein Shweta ne sirf itna kaha tha ke usski company ABRUHI se Aaruhi nikala tha Shweta ne….. Aabhi ke dil mein maan lo Shweta ne Ruhi ki jagah 100% bana chuki thi aur Abhi jaise Ruhi ko inn 6 saalon mein bilkool bhool gaya tha – kyun nah bhoole jab ussko Ruhi se pyar ke badle pyar bilkool nahin mila tha, aur Shweta se itna pyar mila itni sneh mili aur khaas kar usski jism aur jism ki khushbhoo se jitna lagao tha Abhi ko wo puri tarah se mil raha tha Abhi ko…. Inn 6 saalon mein Abhi itna khush rehne laga tha ke jaise ussko ussko khoya hua pyar wapas mil gaya tha….

Navina ko bilkool koyi bhi shak nahin hua aur nah Shweta ki maa (Ruhi ki chachi) ko. Abhi aur Shweta bade honshiaari se apne metings fix karte the aur kabhi kissi ne donon par koyi bhi shak nahin kiya 6 saalon mein…. Abhi bahot hi khush raha karta tha, ussko Shweta ki bachi mein apni beti nazar aane lage the.. Aaruhi ko bhi utna hi pyar karta Abhi jitna Shweta ko… apna pyar nichaavar karta tha donon par

Aur ek raat 2010 mein jab Abhi Shweta ke ghar se milne ke baad wapas jaa raha tha to Shweta ne kaha;

“weise aap se ek baat puchni bhool gayi kal se parson se hi soch rahi thi ke puchna hai mujhe…”

Abhi terrace par nikal chuka tha to mudhkar pucha,

“kia puchna hai pucho nah”

Tab tak Shweta ne Abhi ko zor se baahon mein bhar liya, usske gaal par kiss kiya, usske honth par chumban diye, usske gardan par kiss karte hue kaha,

“Aap ko Manoj ke baare mein pata chala hoga nah last month ko kia hua tha….. mujhe pata hai ke ussi ne aap ko ghar se nikala tha jiss din aap gaye the wahan…. Mujhko baad mein sab pata chala tha… tab main bachi thi magar sab jaan kar bahot royi thi main ke aap ke saath aisa kuch hua tha?!”

Abhi ka ek haath uss waqt Shweta ke kamar par tha aur dusre haath se wo Shweta ke chehre se usske baal ki latt ko hattate hue heyraani se pucha,

“What? Nahin pata mujhe kia hua hai?..... Shwetu mujhe udhar ki ek bhi khabar nahin milta hai pichle 24 saalon se… main janne ki koshish bhi nahin karta hoon siwae ek din ke jab main uss filling station par gaya tha 8 saal baad… tum batao to kia hua hai??!!”

Shweta bahot hi heyraan hui aur takriban chillate hue pucha,

“Kia? Aap ko nahin pata? Papers nahin padhte ho kia aap? Newspapers mein aya tha sab kuch detail mein….!!!”

Newspapers naam sunkar Abhi ne socha ke kyunke Manoj photography karta tha to zaroor ussne koyi inaam vaghaira jeeta hoga to usska naam papers mein aya hoga wohi Shweta kehna chahti thi to Abhi ne ye jawaab diya Shweta ko,

“Baby, mujhe nahin sunna kuch bhi hua ho, jaane do nah kyun udhar ki baat batana chahti ho mujhe khaas kar uss insaan ki jissko insaaniyat kia hota hai yehi nahin pata usse! Jissko ek ghar aaye hue mehmaan ko receive karna nahin ata usske baare mein kyun kuch bhi sununga main hmm?!Let it go Shweta!”

Shweta Abhi ko samajh rahi thi kyunke Shweta ko sab kuch pata tha… Shweta ko to wo kuch bhi pata tha jo Abhi ko hi nahin pata tha… Pata nahin kyun Shweta itne dinon se itna kuch jaante hue bhi Abhi ko nahin bata rahi thi…. Shaayad Shweta kissi sahi samaye ke intezaar mein thi sab kuch bataane ke liye, baad mein Shweta khud batayegi ke kyun ussne shuru se sab kuch nahin bataya tha Abhi ko, magar yeh Manoj wali baat batana zaroori tha to Shweta ne Abhi ke gaal par haath ferrte hue kaha,

“Abhi Manoj is no more! Wo iss dunya mein nahin hai wo chal basse last month ko!”

Tab Abhi ko jhatka laga!!!! Ussko yakeen nahin hua jo ussne suna sahi suna ya ghalat ussne Shweta ke chehre mein dekhte hue phir se kehne ko kaha to Shweta ne dohraya apne alfaaz ko….

Abhi apne tangon par baith gaya…. Ussko ghabrahat jaise feel hue….. Shweta bhi usske paas baith gayi… terrace ke stairs par donon baithe, Shweta ne terrace ke saare lights ko on kiye Abhi ke chehre ke expressions dekhne ke liye kyunke sirf ek bulb jal rahi thi jiss waqt Shweta ne baat kahi thi…..

Abhi gehre soch mein dooba hua tha aur Shweta ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“Kab? Kaise hua yeh? Itna suna tha ke usske do chhote chhote bache bhi hein nah?!”

Shweta ne gambhirta se kaha,

“Khatarnaak accident mein mara wo…. Subha subha kaam par jaane ke liye nikla tha….

jiss jagah aap bus stop lete ho apne ghar wapas jaane ke liye usske yahan se nikal kar ussi bus stop par mara wo, ek kutte ko bachaane ke liye ek driver ne vehicle ko uss bus stop par chadha diya aur manoj wahan khada tha ussi bus stop par turant mar gaya wo wahin kutte ki tarah!!”

Abhi zor se fut fut kar rone laga yeh sun kar!!

Abhi kyun rone laga kia kissi readers ko pata hai? Yaad hai kissi ko kia hua tha uss roz jab Abhi ko kutte ki tarah dhitkaar kar ghar se nikala tha Manoj ne? Kitni baarish ho rahi thi uss roz, Abhi kitna bheega hua tha yahan tak ke usske underwears bhi bheege hue the, Abhi uss ghar se nikal kar chillaa kar rote hue Ruhi ke aangan ke end par baith gaya tha, paani chal rahe the raaste par kichad samet ek bus guzra tha Abhi ke naye kapde kichad aur paani se maile ho gaye the, apna hosh o hawaas kho chuka tha uss waqt aur ussi bus stop tak chal kar Abhi mushkil se reach hua tha aur Abhi ke dil se ek aah nikli thi…. Yaad hai mere kissi readers ko yeh baat?!! Abhi ne bad duah to nahin diya tha magar wo itna dukhi tha ke usske munh se yeh nikal gaya the ke Manoj ek din issi jagah kutte ka maut marega….. (yeh aap sab update 41 mein padh sakte ho … chalo uss part ko yahan copy kar deta hoon)

FROM UPDATE 41
{Wahan se uthte hue, bus top ke paas kade hokar, Abhi ne itna kaha aise hi hawa mein,

“Ghar aaye mehmaan ka aise swagat kiya jata hai Manoj, badduah lagegi mere tute hue dil ka tujhe yaad rakhna, kahin kutte ki maut naseeb nah ho jaaye tujhe ek din issi jagah” Abhi ke zubaan se aise hi yeh alfaz nikal gaya tha, kyunke usska dil buri tarah se tuta hua tha uss waqt… ussko pata bhi nahin tha ke wo kia bol raha hai, magar kia pata ek din yeh bad duah lag jaega Manoj ko? Who knows?}

To Abhi zoron se rone laga Shweta ki baat ko sunkar…. Shweta ussko sambhal rahi thi aur puchhe jaa rahi thi ke kia hua kyun ro rahe hein wo…..

Abhi ne rote hue kaha,

“Mujhe kia pata tha ke mere kahe hue baat ek din sach ho jaega… main ne ussko badd duah nahin diya tha, mera dil tuta hua tha, main dard mein tha iss liye mere dil se ek aah nikli thi, ussi jagah ussi bus stop par….. Oh My God mujhe maaf karna main ne yeh nahin chaha tha!!!”

Abhi ne accident wala date pucha taake wo ghar jaakar papers mein check kar sake….. Shweta ne date bataya…. 1st November.

Abhi ka pura jism tharthara uthe the Shweta ki baahon mein uss waqt…. Shweta ko laga ke wo drive nahin kar paega to ussko wahin rehne ke liye kaha…. Magar kaise bhi Abhi utha, bahot kamzor feel kar raha tha…. Shweta apni nighty mein thi magar Abhi ko raaste par uss raat mein car tak accopmay kiya aur jab Abhi ne car start kiya tab Shweta wapas ghar gayi…. Abhi kissi tarah drive karte hue ghar gaya…..

Ghar pahucnte hi Abhi ne uss date k eek do din baad ke papers dhunda aur check kiya to sach mein uss accident ka zikr kiya gaya tha Manoj ka naam surname aur accident ki article chhappa hua tha….

Subha ke 4.30 ho chuke the aur Abhi zor se rone laga apne study mein baith kar… Navina ne suna daud kar study mein pahunchi dekhne ke kiya hua…. To Abhi ne paper dikhaya Navina ko….. Aur Navina ne kaha,

“Tute hue dil se mangi hui duah beshak kubool hote hein, der se hi sahi upar wala apne time se kaam karta hai…..”

Abhi ziada rone laga yeh kehte hue Navina se,

“usske chhote chhote bache hai yaar…. Main khud ko guilty feel kar raha hoon main ne kyun weisa kaha tha uss din?!!”

Navina ne jawaab diya,

“Aur ussne kyun weisa kiya tha uss din aap ke saath? Kyun ek kutte ki tarah ghar se nikala tha aap ko? Bhagwan ka roop maana jata hai ghar aaye mehmaan ko…. To samajh lijiye ke uss waqt Manoj ne bhagwaan ko dhitkara tha apne ghar ke dwar par, so bhawaan ne uss se badla liya!!! KARMA hai yeh Abhi aap ki koyi dosh nahin hai iss mein…”

Mujhe ab readers se puchna hai… kia aap log karma mein yakeen karte ho? kia aap mante ho ke ghar aaye mehnaan bhagwan ke roop hote hein? Kia aap maante ho ke kissi ke dil ko nahin dukhana chahiye? Kia aap log maante ho ke kissi ke tute hue dil se nikli aah kabhi bhi sach saabit ho sakte hein? Yaaro yeh SACH MEIN HUA HAI…. MAIN GAWAH HOON AUR PROOFS KAMDEV AUR VIKRAM bhai ko watsapp par post kar raha hoon. Iss kahani mein do aise proofs hein ke karma ki maar padta hai, ek Saeed ko aur ek Manoj ko…

Vikram bhai, aap donon pehle iss update 57 ko padh lein tab mujhe watsaap karen mujhe aap donon ko kuch dikahana hai udhar. Thanks.

Enjoy the read friends. And thanks all.[/USER]Vikram

Update 58 Abhi Meets Mahesh And ???​

Dosto kal wale update mein main ne date lekar ek ghalati kiya tha 2010 be badle 2011 likha tha, aur Sweta ke saath guzare 6 saal ko 7 saal likha tha. Wo hua yeh tha ke December 2010 ki baat ho raha tha aur main kyunke December tha iss liye agle saal 2011 ko soch raha tha, dimagh mein 2011 bassa hua tha so likh diya tha, weise 2011 mein bhi Shweta ke saath tha Abhi to 7 saal hi hote hein magar pura saal nahin tha iss liye ke beech 2011 mein hi kuch aisa hua jo nah Shweta ne socha tha aur nah khud Abhi ne socha tha weisa kuch hoga kabhi….

To kal jinn logon ne mere edit karke correct karne se pehle updates padh liye the unnko ab dikhega ke main ne 2011 ke badle 2010 likha hai aur 7 saal ke badle 6 saal likha hua hai Shweta aur Abhi ke rishte ko….

Aaj ke update se ap log samajh jaoge mujhse yeh ghalati kyun aur kaise ho gayi thi kyunke yeh 2011 hi tha jiss mein aisa kuch hua ta iss liye mere dimagh mein 2011 bassa hua tha aur wohi likh diya tha kal ke update mein. Sorry for that mistake which I corrected later.

To November 1st 2010 ko Manoj accident mein mara gaya tha aur December mein Abhi ko pata chala jiss se wo bahot affect hue the iss liye ke khud ko guilty feel karne laga tha iss liye ke ussne badd duah diya tha uss bus stop par aur exactly wahin Manoj ki death hui aur bahot buri tarah ki death hui thi.

December end hua, 2011 start hua….

Abhi restless, bechain rehne laga Manoj ko soch kar, usske vidhwa wife aur chhote bachon ko soch kar…. Wo unn logon ka financial help karna chahta tha…. chaahe wahan nahin jata magar apne company ki taraf se kissi ko bhej kar Manoj ki wife aur bachon ko financial help karne ko soch raha tha.

Aur wo Abhi ne successfully kiya. Apne accountant aur usske assistant ko udhar bheja company ke taraf se, magar Abruhi company ke taraf se nahin, varna unn logon ko pata chal jata …. Abhi ne ek virtual company create kiya jo gharibon ke help ke liye banayaa Abhi ne aur uss company ke taraf se financial help bheja Manoj ke family ke liye. Abhi bilkool anonymous raha uss mein. Wahan par kissi ko bhi pata nahin chala ke Abhi ne help kiya unn logon ki. Aur agar Abruhi company ke taraf se help karta tab to sabko pata chal jata ke Abhi ne financial help diya tha….

Yeh baat Abhi ne shweta ko bhi nahin bataya….. Abhi Shweta se bhi nahin mila 2011 ke March mahine tak, haan phone se baat aur messages hote the….

Phir April mein kyunke Abhi ka birthday ata hai tab Abhi Shweta mile aur fir milne lage pehle ki tarah aur sab thoda mamool par agaya Abhi ke liye….. financial help karne ke baad Abhi ko sukoon haasil hua Manoj wale baat ko lekar.

Ab kuch aise hone wala tha jiss ke baad, Shwetha ke liye bahut bura hua aur wo khud ko kossne lagi ke kyun ussne aaj tal Abhi ko wo raaz nahin bataayi….

Shweta ke zarye nahin Abhi ko Ruhi se sab sach ka pata chala!!

Abhi aur Ruhi mile 2011 mein!! June ka mahina tha….. donon 24 December 1986 ke baad 2011 ke June mahine mein mile… 25 saal baad!!! Kia aalam tha!!! kia rona dhona hua- kaise mile? Kahan mile? Kia hua? Okay sab araam se batata hoon nah!!:D

Abhi Manoj ke maut ke baad sochne laga ke kabhi bhi usska bhi death ho sakta hai achanak… to ussne khud se kaha ke “marne se pehle ek baar Ruhi se mil leta to mujhe sukoon milta, Ruhi ko wo diaries padhne ko zaroor dena hoga, ussko bhi marne se pehle pata chalna chahiye mujh par kia guzra tha unn dinon…. Bus ek baar sirf Ruhi se mil leta main marne se pehle!!”

June mahine mein Abhi achanak ek din Mahesh se mila kareeb 7 ya 8 saal baad, wo ab police inspector ban gaya tha. Milte hi sab se pehli baat jo Abhi ne kiya wo tha Manoj ki death ki sympathy pesh karna Mahesh ko. Aur ab Mahesh bhi shadi shuda tha aur baap tha teen bachon ke. Mahesh ne Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi bhai, hum bahot dinon baad mile hein aaj chalo ek chai pite hein uss hotel mein baith kar kuch baatein karte hein.”

Abhi raazi hua. Assal mein Abhi ne aaj dil mein yeh soch liya tha ke aaj wo Mahesh se Ruhi ka haal puchega.

To donon baithe, ek ek cup chai ke saath. Abhi Mahesh ke chehre mein dekh raha tha, mature ho gaya tha Mahesh ab, usske chehre mein wo tenderness nahin thi ab jo Abhi Hamesha dekha karta tha Mahesh ke chehre mein, magar wo gentleness ab bhi tha Mahesh mein. Mahesh kuch kehna chahta tha Abhi se magar Abhi ko dikh gaya tha ke Mahesh jhijhak raha hai ya samajh nahin raha hai ke kaise shuru karen, iss liye Abhi ne hi baat kiya yeh keh kar;

“are Mahesh kyun jhijhak rahe ho kaho nah jo kehna hai we are two men talking yaar, ghabra rahe ho ya kissi baat ka darr hai? Kaho nah bhai!”

Mahesh ne muskuraya, aur Abhi ke chehre mein laal chehre se kaha,

“Bhai last time jitney baar bhi main aap se mila tha to Ruhi ko bataya tha. Ruhi har baar kehti rahi ke agle bar aap se milun to aap ko ghar aane ko kahun, magar har baar aap agle baar milte the to hum mein sirf casual baat hote aur mujh mein himmat nahin hoti thi aap se ghar aane ko kehne ke liye, iss liye ke jiss tarah se aap ko ghar se nikala gaya tha main hamesha sochta tha ke aap inkaar karoge aane se….”

Abhi ke jism mein ek thartharaahat si hui Mahesh ki baton ko sun kar…. Ek afsos bhi hua ussko aur uss din ko socha jiss din wo uss pump station par gaya tha aur phir wapas nahin gaya…. Ruhi ne ussko bulaya tha wo bhi koyi 17 saal pehle aur Abhi gaya hi nahin…. Itna afsos ho raha tha Abhi ko…. Usske Aankhen bhar aaye Mahesh ko dekhte hue aur iss se pehle ke Abhi kuch kehta Mahesh ne sar niche jhukaate hue kaha,

“Bhai hum sab aap ke gunehgaar hein, aap ka dil toda tha hum sab ne, kusoor mera bhi hai ke uss din main ne kuch nahin kaha tha, chhup raha tha uss din halaan ke main Ruhi ko bahot pyar karta hoon magar uss roz usske liye kuch nahin kar paaya tha, bhai Manoj bada bhai tha mera iss liye usske saamne main kuch nahin bol saka tha…. bhai ussne bahot ghalat kiya tha aap ke saath sabko pata hai ghar mein….. Ruhi bahot royi thi aur 5 saal tak Manoj se baat nahin kiya tha uss din ke baad…. Bhai jab Manoj mara to ghar mein sab ne yehi kaha ke ussko aap ki aur Ruhi ke dil todne ka saza mili….. Manoj ki wife aap ko nahin jaanti magar Ruhi ne usskko sab kuch bata diya tha shadi ke baad ke khud Manoj ki wife ne bhi kaha ke aap ki aur Ruhi ki badd duah lagi Manoj ko…… Abhi bhai hum sab ko maaf kardo please….. aap ghar chaliye nah Ruhi aap ka intezaar kar rahi hai barson se!!”

Abhi jaise emotional aadmi kia yeh sab sunkar bina roye reh sakta tha……? nahin nah? usske aakhon se jharr jharr aansoo behne lage the aur khud Mahesh ne bhi ro diye yeh sab kehte hue….

Kaampte honton se Abhi ne pucha,

“kaisi hai meri Ruhi Mahesh?”

Mahesh: “Aap chal kar khud dekh lijiye nah bhai! Har baar jab aap se mila hoon to ussko bataya, wo naraaz hoti ke iss baar kyun nahin bulaya aap ko… hum shayad 5 ya 6 baar mile hein nah? to unn paanchon baar Ruhi mujhse rote hue aap ko kehne ko kaha ke ussne aap ko bulaya hai…. Usske taraf se bulawa hai bhai chaloge nah aap?! - aur ab Manoj bhi nahin hai aap ko kuch kehne ke liye….”

Abhi: “25 saal baad uss ghar mein jana padega mujhe Mahesh? Wo aangan, wo ghar, wo kapde dhone wala pathar, wo gulab ka bagicha… sab weise hi hein aaj bhi kia?”

Mahesh: “chalo nah bhai, khud chal kar dekh lo…. Sab kuch badal gaya hai ab….

Jahan wo bagicha tha wahan mera ghar hai aur Ruhi mere saath hi rehti hai…. Jahan pehle hamara ghar tha wahan mummy papa rehte hein aur upar Manoj rehta tha aur ab usski wife aur bache hein!! Sab kuch badal gaya hein piche 25 Saalon mein bhai….”

Bina chai khatam kiye Abhi ne kaha,

“Chalo bhai chalte hein aaj phir uss gali mein jahan jaana chorr diya tha!”

Mahesh police ki car mein tha, Abhi ne ussko follow kiya apne car se…. 14 kms drive karna tha aur 15 mins mein reach ho gaye..

Uss aagan mein pehle Mahesh gaya aur usske piche Abhi ne apne car ko kiya aur ussko sab naya lag raha tha kuch bhi weisa nahin tha…. bilkool alag jagah tha… wo aangan ab sirf ek lamba sa lane ban gaya tha… har kissi ne ek ek ghar bana liya tha donon taraf right side aur left side mein bhi…. Jo space tha pehle kitchen aur Mehboob ke ghar ke beech wo ab tha hi nahin…. Jahan Ruhi ki kitchen hua karta tha aaj ek garage tha, jahan bagicha tha ab Mahesh ka ghar tha, haan Mehboob ka ghar ab bhi wohi tha, magar Ruhi ka purana tin aur ladki wala ghar ab concrete ka bara ek mala wala ghar tha, niche Ruhi ke parents rehte the aur upar Manoj ki wife aur bache…. Wo lane ab asphalted tha… naya naya asphalted lag raha tha… jo bada sa peyr hua karta tha jiss ke niche bus tha wo peyr ab exist hi nahin karta tha…. koi bus bhi nahin tha kahin…. Ek Toyota Hiace 15 seater jo naya lag raha tha wo lane ke aakhri end par tha, maan lo Ruhi ke old kitchen ke bhi baad mein….. jo feeling Abhi paana chahta tha wo bilkool bhi nahin mila ussko…wo fiza nahin thi, wo hawa nahin the, wo sukoon nahin thi uss lane mein jo unn dinon uss aangan mein hua karta tha…. sab kuch badla badla sa tha jaise kissi aur jagah pahunch gaya tha Abhi…..

Abhi apni zehen mein aaj bhi uss aanagn ko weisa hi sochta tha jaise chorra tha 25 saal pehle…. Ussko bilkool bhi nahin pata tha itna badlaav agaya hoga uss aangan mein …. Last time bhi jab 8 saal ke baad aya tha pump station par tab tak to sab baraabar tha…. magar aaj sab kuch bilkool hi alag tha….

Mahesh apne police car se utra aur Abhi ke karib aakar dhire se kaha,

“Main ussko surprise karunga, aap kuch mat bolna aap ko usske saamne khada karunga okay?!”

Abhi ne ek gehri saans li…. Usska dil zoron se dhadakne laga tha, haath peyr thoda kaampne lage the, phir bhi ek naya bana hua ghar ke darwaze se enter kiya Abhi ne Mahesh ke piche…. Aur jiss waqt Abhi andar jaa raha tha ek adher aadmi nikla ussi ghar se jissne Abhi ke chehre mein dekha, Abhi ne bhi ussko dekha thoda sa daadhi tha aadmi ka, aur wo Ruhi ke pehle wale ghar ke taraf gaye, aur terrace se hokar uss ghar mein gaya tab Abhi ne yaad kiya ke wo zaroor Ruhi ke pita hoga…. Ab bhi zinda hai wo Abhi ne socha!

Mahesh ne Abhi ko corridor mein wait karne ko kaha, aur ek kamre mein gaya aur kaha,

“Dekho to kaun aya hai pehchanon isse!”

Tab Mahesh ne Abhi ka haath pakar ke kamre ke andar kiya….

Abhi ke saamne ek patli si aurat ek wheelchair par baithi chasme ke saath Abhi ke chehre mein dekh rahi thi!!!”

Update 59 Abhi & Ruhi’s Very Emotional Meeting​

Mahesh ne Abhi ko corridor mein wait karne ko kaha, aur ek kamre mein gaya aur kaha,

“Dekho to kaun aya hai pehchanon isse!”

Tab Mahesh ne Abhi ka haath pakar ke kamre ke andar kiya….

Abhi ke saamne ek patli si aurat ek wheelchair par baithi chasme ke saath Abhi ke chehre mein dekh rahi thi!!!”

Ab aaguey….

Itne saalon tak Abhi ne apne dimaagh mein Ruhi ko ussi tarah bassaya hua tha jaise ussko 25 saal pehle jaanta tha, wohi kamseen si, sushil si, nazron ko churra kar dekhne aur baat karne wali, behad khubsurat awaaz ki maalkin, uss se bhi ziada khusurat Muskaan ki maalkin ko apne zehen mein bassaya hua tha Abhi, magar aaj jissko wheelchair par saamne dekh raha tha wo koyi aur hi thi, wo usski Ruhi nahin thi, usske mann mein aisa khayal aya ek pal ke liye….

Abhi ka munh khula raha kuch der tak Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue aur usske aankhen bina agah kiye paani chorrne lage the, udhar Ruhi sar uthakar, apen chasme ko naak par seedha karke Abhi ko ghurr rahi thi aur usske honth thartharaane lage the… ussne ek nazar Mahesh ko dekha, phir ungli se Abhi ke taraf ishara karke sisakte hue kaha pucha,

“Aaj aya mera Abhi, yeh mera Abhi hai Mahesh Abhi, mera Abhi …… kahan the aap….Abhi….. hhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” itni zor se chilla kar royi Ruhi ke ghar goonjh utha

Ab dekh lo!! Ruhi ne bhi apne dimaagh mein ussi Abhi ko quaid kar rakha tha jissko wo 25 saal pehle jaanti thi!!

Haan Abhi ki kad se zaroor Ruhi pehchaan gayi thi ke wohi hoga, magar chehra 25 saal baad same to nahin rahega, Abhi ke sar par unn dinon bahot saare baal hua karte the aaj sar ke saamne wale hisse par baal bahot kum hogaye the, aur jinn dinon Abhi Ruhi ke goad mein apna sar rakhta tha Ruhi ko aadat thi usske sar ke baalon mein apne ungliyon ko ferrna, aaj to utne baal the hi nahin Abhi ke sar par……. koyi kuch bhi kahe insaan ka chehra, body, rang sab mein badlaav ata hai, aur wo har din ata hai, to 25 saalon mein donon bilkool bhi wo nahin the to 25 saal pehle dikhte the…..

Aur Ruhi ki health ki detoriation ki vajah uss mein to difference 100 guna ziada tha…

Jab Abhi ne Ruhi ke thartharaate honth dekhe to jhat se Ruhi ke wheelchair ke saamne apne ghutnon par baith gaya aur apne sar ko Ruhi ke goad mein rakh diya sisakte hue…. Ruhi ko jaise ek shock lag gaya tha nah hill rahi thi nah dol rahi thi nah kuch bol rahi thi magar usske aankhon se aansoo jaari the…. Usske goad mein jiss tarah se ek chote bacche k tarah Abhi ro raha tha, Mahesh khud ko rok nahin paya aur khud rone laga donon ko uss haal mein dekh kar…

Ruhi ne dhire dhire apne daanye haath ko kaampte hue Abhi ke sar par rakha….

Usske sar ko dekha aur rona ruk gayi achanak to apni ussi surili awaaz mein dhire se kaha,

“Aap ke baal nahin rahe Abhi? Kho diye itne khubsurat zulf ko aap ne? Mere liye bhi nahin bacha ke rakhe unn khubsurat zulfon ko aap ne?!..... kaise ho aap Abhi? Bolo nah rona band karo aap, aaj bhi weise hi ro rahe ho jaise aakhri din aap ko rote hue chorra tha main !!”

Abhi se saha nahin jaa raha tha, ussne sar ko uthaya Ruhi ke goad se aur usske chehre mein dekha aur ziada rone laga oonchi awaaz mein…. Mahesh se raha nah gaya aur wo uss kamre se nikal gaya….

Ruhi ne Abhi ke sar sehlaate hue uske gaalon par apne ungliyon ko ferra aur kaha,

“Mujhe aaj bhi wo aakhri din yaad hai jab main jaa rahi thi aur aap bus ke piche wale darwaze se kud kar aaye the aur mujhko baahon mein bhar kar kiss kiya tha khule aam sabke saamne, kitni himmat wale the aap, kitne strong aur nidarr the aap, main kamsin thi, darrti thi, aap taaqat wale the to kyun piche kadam hatta liye aap ne Abhi? Kyun?!”

Abhi aur bhi ziada rone laga magar rote hue hi Ruhi ko reply kiya,

“Kia main kabhi bhool sakta hoon wo din? Kia ek pal ke liye bhi bhoola hoon kabhi? Tumko mujhe 3 sawaalon ka jawaab dena hai aaj….. 25 saalon se yehi 3 sawaal puchna tha mujhe tumse jawaab dogi ya nahin?!”

Ruhi emotionally ziada strong lag rahi thi, balke thi…..unn dinon ko bhi bhi aisi hi thi…. Abhi ziada rota tha tab bhi, tab bhi Abhi khud kaha karta tha ke Ruhi uss se jitna emotional nahin…. Sach tha….. Ruhi strong thi, to jaldi se apne aansowon ko poncha Ruhi ne aur tayyaar hua Abhi ke sawaalon ko jawaab dene ke liye, aur kaha,

“haan pucho jo puchna hai ab mujhe kissi ka darr nahin, nahin darti kissi se bhi ab main pucho Abhi jo bhi puchna hai pucho ab!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“5th January 1987 ko uss baarish mein main iss ghar mein aya tha tum kyun nahin nikli thi mujhse milne? Tum ne kyun kuch nahin kiya mere liye? Tumne kaise mujhko uss tarah se zalil hokar jaane diya tha? Tumko kuch nahin hua uss waqt? Tum ne kaise wo sab suna tha jo mujhe kaha gaya tha Ruhi bata mujhe bata….. mujh par kia guzar raha tha, tum par koyi assar nahin hua uss din uss waqt? Tu yahin thi andar dada ji ne mujhe kaha tha, phir bhi tum andar hi rahi mujhko beizat kiya jaa raha tha…. aur tu andar sunn rahi thi, main bilkool bheega hua tha Ruhi, kaamp raha tha main, yeh umeed thi ke tum jaldi se mujhko ek towel dogi, aur pehle ki tarah Mahesh ki koyi shirt dogi pehenne ke liye…. Baahar toofan tha ussi toofaan mein mujhko baahar nikala gaya tha aur tumne kuch nahin kiya Ruhi? Kyun?? Mujhe uss baat ka jawaab chahiye…. Main 25 saal tak sochta raha ke tumne kyun kuch nahin kiya….. Agar uss waqt tum aakar keh deti ke tu mujhse pyar nahin karti main chalaa jaun yahan se tab chala jaata, koyi gham nahin hota, magar mujhe pata tha ke tub hi bahot pyar karti thi phir kyun tum ne mujhe jaane diya tha uss roz Ruhi bata mujhe jawaab de!!” yeh sab kehte hue Abhi itna ro raha tha ke usski aawaz tut rahe the bich bich mein ruk ruk kar sab kaha tha ussne…

Usske aansso ne Ruhi ke dress bhigo diye the usski goad mein…. Kia Ruhi chhup rahi? Nahin ab usski rone ki baari thi…. Ruhi itna zor se chilla kar royi Abhi ke iss sawaal ko sunkar, ke Mahesh, usski wife aur 3 bache sab chale aaye kamre mein….

Abhi ne tab Ruhi ke gale mein haath daal diya tha, Ruhi ne jhuk kar Abhi ke kaandhe se haath karke ussko jakra hua tha aur roti jaa rahi thi, jawaab nahin de paa rahi thi iss liye ke ro rahi thi, aur udhar se Ruhi ki maa aur baap ne bhi sun liya rone ki awaaz aur weh log bhi aa gaye the tab tak…..

Mahesh, usski wife aur bache bhi ro rahe the un donon ko uss tarah se rote dekh kar… aur jab Ruhi ne Apni maa ko kamre ke andar aate dekha tab Ruhi ka rona band hua aur kaha,

“jawaab chahiye nah Abhi, wo dekho, apne piche dekho Abhi yeh wo aurat hai yehi hai wo….. usske saath rehna gawara nahin tha mujhe uss din ke baad, ussi ne mujhe samajh lo bandh ke rakha hua tha, mere munh par bhi apne haath daba rakhi thi ussne, main andar ro rahi thi Abhi, main chhatpata rahi thi nikal kar tumhare paas aane ke liye, mujhko dabaya gaya tha Abhi… yeh meri maa nahin dayan hai Abhi issi ki vajah se hum donon juda hua Abhi sab kuch issi ne kiya… issi ne hi Manoj ko wo sab kehne ko bheja tha Abhi, Manoj nahin kehna chahta tha wo sab tumse; maa ne ussko majboor kiya tha wohi sab shabd kehne ko aap se….. yeh dayan mujhe life bhar apne ghar mein baandh kar rakhna chahti thi, mujhe apna naukrani bana kar rakhna chahti thi, meri ek ghalati ki vajah se Abhi….. varna main to tumhare paas ane wali thi…”

Ruhi ki maa piche khadi ro rahi thi sab sunte hue, aur Ruhi ne bekaabu hote uss se kaha,

“Tu nikal yahan se varna kuch uthaake marungi tujhe, Mahesh nikal iss budhya ko yahan se varna main kuch kar baithungi….”

Abhi ne mudhkar Ruhi ki maa ko dekha, saare baal safed ho gaye the aur wo donon haath jode Abhi ko dekhte hue jaise uss se maafi maang rahi thi…. Tab tak Mahesh ne apni maa ko wapas jaane ko kaha….

Ruhi ne thoda khud par kaabu paate hue, Mahesh ki beti ki haath se ek gilaas paani se kuch ghoont pikar Abhi se kaha,

“Abhi kabhi dekha hai aap ne qurbani ke din ek bakri ko kiss tarah se ek khambe se baandha jaata hai, samajh lijiye mujhko uss din weise hi baandha gaya tha taake main aap ke paas aa nah sakun, main ek jal bin machli ki tarah chhatpata rahi thi, Manoj ki baton ko sunkar aur soch rahi thi ke aap par kia guzar raha hoga usske baton ko sunkar…. Main rone lagi thi, meri awaaz ko bhi dabaya gaya tha taake aap sun nah sako…. Jab aap ghar se nikal gaye the tab mujhko chorra gaya aur main daud kar kitchen ke darwaze ke paas gayi, aap ko jaate hue dekh rahi thi, aur nikalne wali thi ussi baarish mein aap ke piche aane ko magar mujhko phir uss aurat ne pakar liya, Abhi main chilla kar rone lagi thi Abhi….

Main ne apni puri koshish ki thi Abhi magar main aap ke jitna strong nahin thi, mujh mein wo taaqat nahin thi jo aap mein hai varna main khud aap ke paas chali aati Abhi, magar mujh mein wo himmat aur taaqat nahin hai…. Main ne haar maan liya tha usske baad Abhi!!”

Aabhi rota gaya… aur kaha,

“Dusra sawaal ruhi!”

Ruhi: “mujhe uss sofe par bitha do please…..”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko uss wheel chair se uthaya, apne goad mein liya, char kadam chal kar sofe tak jaate hue Ruhi ke gaal ko chuma, Ruhi ne apne baahon ko Abhi ke gale mein lapet liya aur Abhi ke gardan aur gaal ko chuma, aur Abhi ne kaha,

“kuch der aise hi mere baahon mein raho aur jawaab do….”

Ruhi ko ab bhi maskari sujh rahi thi, ussne kaha,

“haan aap ne kaha tha nah jisski biwi chhoti usska bhi bada naam hai, goad mein bitha lo bache ka kia kaam hai wohi kar rahe ho ab!”

Abhi ne rote rote hanss diya, aur kaha “kuch bhi nahin bholi tum bhi?!”

Ruhi ne usske goad mein rehte hue kaha,

“Aap ka dusra sawaal kia hai Abhi… puchiye aaj jo bhi puchna hai puch lijiye main saare sawalon ka jawaab dene ko tayyaar hoon…?”

Abhi: “main ne tumko apne khaton aur cards mein apna ghar ka real address likha tha, wo issi liye likha tha ke kabhi tumko mujhe contact karna pare to tum kar sakti thi to kyun mujhko kabhi kuch bhi nahin kaha Ruhi?!”

Ruhi ne ab rona bandh kar diya tha aur Abhi ka rona bhi thoda tham gaya tha, Mahesh aur usski wife kamre se nikal gaye the magar Mahesh ke bache wahin rahe, sofe ke paas aakar baith gaye jahan Abhi ne ab Ruhi ko bitha diya tha, aur khud bhi baith gaya tha Ruhi ke kaandhe par apna dayan hath kiye hue aur baayaan haath mein Ruhi ka haath thaame hue tha….. Ruhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue kaha,

“kaise samjhaun aap ko main? Kahan se shuru karun meri samajh mein nahin araha hai…. Itna kuch kehna hai ke sach mein nahin samajh paa rahi hoon ke kaise bataun…. Main ne aap ko bahot contact karna chaha, bahot mann tha aap ko at least ek chithi daal doon…. Magar himmat nahin hui…. Unn dinon jiss tarah se aap ko ghar se nikala gaya tha mujhe darr tha ke kahin aap itna naraaz nah ho gaye hon ke mere chithi ko padhne se pehle faadh kar feink nah dein…. Aap ke ghusse ko jaanti hoon nah main, mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai jab aap ki saeed se ladaayi hui thi to kiss tarah se main ne aap ko shaant kiya tha…. to uss darr se nahin likha.. ek baar to likh diya tha kayi mahine baad magar post nahin kiya ussi darr se…. phir mujhe khabar mili ke aap ki mangni ho gayi…”

Abhi: “What? Wo kaise pata chala tumko? Wo bhi pata chala tha tumko? Kaise batao!!?”

Ruhi ne thoda sa muskuraya, jab se Abhi aya tha karib der ghante ho chuke the aur pehli baar Ruhi ko muskuraate hue dekha Abhi ne, wohi muskurahat thi… Wohi honth. Wohi masoom si jhalak jo barson pehle Abhi tarasta tha dekhne ke liye.. chehre par zaifi ne apna nishaan banana shuru kar diya tha magar Ruhi ki wo ada aur chehre ka alag sa chamak ab bhi maujood tha jo Abhi ko diwana banaya karta tha…. ek pal ke liye Abhi ko laga ke wo Shweta se baat kar raha hai, itni milte julte the donon ke chehre ke bhaav….. aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“Aap aakhir issi taraf aaye nah kissi aur ko apni wife banaane, main nahin ban paayi to East mein hi se kissi ko bana liya apni wife?”

Aur Ruhi ne rote hue Abhi ke gaal par kayi chhote chhote thapd maarte hue kaha,

“bade aaye umar bhar shaadi nahin karne wale, mujhse to kaha tha, If I do not get you I will never marry in my life, I will remain like this all my life… yehi kaha tha nah aap ne? to kyun shaadi ki? Kyun? Kahan gaye aap ke who badi badi baatein? Ulta main ne kissi se shaadi nahin ki, main ne aap ki kahi hui baat ko sach kar dikhaya, aap ne to shaadi bhi kar liye aur itna bada aadmi ban gaye magar mera kia Abhi? Mera kia hua, dekh lo mujhe murjha gayi hoon aap ki yaad, aap ke intezaar mein, wafa to main ne nibhaayi aap se, bewafa to aap nikle Abhi……….” Aur zoron se rone lagi Ruhi, Abhi ko ksake jakar ke….. unn bachon mein se 1 chhoti ladki thi aur do ladke, unn mein se ladki bhi rone lagi apni badi fufi ko rote dekh kar…..

Abhi Ruhi ke sar ko apne seene se dabaaye hue usske sar par apna haath ferre jaa raha tha aur usske aankhon se bhi aansoo beh nikle phir se Ruhi ki baton ko sunkar….

Ruhi ne phir shaant hote hue kaha,

“Aap ka teesra sawaal kia tha Abhi?”

Abhi ne usske chehre ko apne haathon mein thaam kar usski aankhon mein dekhte hue pucha,

“Jiss lifaafe mein main ne diaries diye the, uss mein ek gift tha tumhare liye wo mila tha tujhe ya nahin, aur tum diaries ko kitna padh paayi thi uss waqt? Kitne pages? Tum bahot tez padhti thi, mujhe yaad hai kitne kitabein padha karti thi, to mere khayal se tumne kaafi pages padh liye hinge…. Batao…. “

Ruhi phir muskuraayi aur ishara apne almari ki taraf karte hue Abhi se kaha,

“jaa kar uss almaari ko kholye please aap ko kuch dikhana hai aaj….”

Abi utha, almaari ko khola, Ruhi ne niche wale drawer ko kholne ko kaha, Abhi ne khola aur uss chote se drawer mein sirf ek chiz tha… 25 saal pehle di hui wo chiz jo Ruhi ne aaj tak sambhaal kar rakha hua hai…wohi “Soir De Paris” Perfume…. Jo Ruhi ko passand tha jab Abhi se pucha tha ke kaun si perfume istemaal karte ho aap kitna acha mehekta hai, to Abhi ne uss se kaha tha ke kissi din usske liye bhi kharidega, aur jiss din diaries diya tha wo perfume bhi tha…. 25 saal baad perfume aisa tha…. Abhi ne turant usske photo liye apne mobile se rote hue….

Aur yeh hai wo perfume ka box jissko Ruhi ne 25 saal tak sambhaal kar rakha hua hai

Aur ghaur se dekhiye usski ki cap kitna purana ho gaya hai 25 saalon mein – aaj yeh perfume milta hi nahin, shayad bourgeois company banata hi nahin issko

Uss mein itna aaj bhi baaki hai 25 saalon baad aur Abhi ne khol kar sungha perfume ko aur Ruhi ke paas chal kar aya aur baith kar zoron se rone laga!!!

Ye Photos REAL hein aur AAJ BHI MAUJOOD HEIN RUHI KE PAAS AAJ TO 34 YEARS HO CHUKE AUR ISS MEIN ITNA PERFUME AAJ BHI HAI!!

Abhi uss din wahan 6 ghanton tak raha, Ruhi aur ussne ek dusre se apne dukhde roye, kal ki update mein aur bataunga kia kia baatein kiya aur kia kia hua tha uss roz…. Bahot kuch jaanna, kehna sunna baaki hai abhi….

Update 60 Ruhi Had Lots To Say​

Abhi ka haath kaamp gaya uss perfume ko haath mein lekar…pichle 25 saalon mein ussko yeh perfume mila hi nahin kahin bhi. Ruhi se alag hone ke baad Abhi ko 3 saal baad mila tha wo perfume matlab 1989 tak… uss ke baad importer ne Abhi se kaha tha ya to Bourjois ne uss perfume ko banana bandh kar diya ya naye perfumes banane lage iss liye “Soir De Paris” nahin milta ab…. France ki perfume hai aur isska matlab hai “Night Of Paris” Abhi ka passanjida perfume tha, aur aaj uss perfume ko 25 saal baad sungh kar sochiye Abhi ne kia feel kiya hoga, ussko kaisa laga hoga?.....

Abhi ke jism ke rowan rowan uth gaye wo sungh kar, wo zamana yaad agaya, weh din yaad agaye, har lamhe ki ek khushbhoo hoti hai, har pal ka ek khushbhoo hota hai, har waqt ki ek pehchaan hoti hai ussi tarah Abhi ke guzare hue weh din iss khushbhoo se iss tarah se jude hue the, uss khusbhoo se Ruhi judi hui thi, Ruhi ki yaadein jude hue the. Saeed, Mehboob, Mahesh, Shweta, sab jude hue the iss khushbhoo se… unn dinon jab Abhi gande kapdon mein kaam karta tha, aur shaam ko wash karne ke baad jab apna uss kamiz ko pehenta tha jiss se ab wo wapas bus se ghar jaega, to uss kamiz mein yeh khushbhoo laga hua hota tha, Abhi ke jeb ki rumal mein yeh Khushboo hua karta tha, aur Abhi ko weh din wapas yaad agaye, ussko laga ke abhi wapas bus se ghar jaega, shaam ho rahe the to kaam khatam karne ka waqt tha aur ussko ab ghar wapas jaana tha….. Abhi uss perfume ho haath mein liye almaari ke paas baith kar fur fut kar rone laga….

Ruhi ne bachon se apni wheelchair laane ko kaha, uss par kaise bhi karke baithi aur Abhi ke paas gayi, ussko apne seene se lagaate hue ussko chumban diye, aur aaj 25 saal baad Abhi ko Ruhi ke seene se dobara lagne ko aur usski jism ki khushbhoo ko feel karne ka naseeb prapt hua….. wo soch kar wo aur bhi kaske rone laga Ruhi ki chaati par usski dress ko bhigote hue….

Ruhi ko bhi ek chain ki saans lene ka mauka mila apne Abhi ko barson baad apne seene se kaske uss tarah se lagaane se…. wo bhi taras gayi thi apne Abhi ko uss tarah se mehsoos karne ke liye…. Aur Ruhi gungunaane lagi Abhi ke sar par haath ferrte hue, “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…. Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna, do aankhen to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitnaaaaaaa pyar karte hein hum tumhein itnaaaaaa” aur iss gaane ko Ruhi ko gungunaate sunkar Abhi aur bhi rone laga….

Ruhi ne usske sar ko chumte hue kaha,

“Mera Abhi to ab bhi wohi bacha hai, ab bhi weise hi rota hai, kitna emotional tha aur aaj bhi hai mera Abhi hmmm? Kitna rote ho aap? Aur kitna roya hoga jab mere ghar se aakhri baar nikaale gaye the aap? Mera kaleja fatt jata tha buss wohi soch soch kar, kissi ko nahin pata tha mere siwa ke aap kitne emotional ho, dil ke kitne nazuk ho aap wo sirf mujhe pata tha, iss liye sab soch soch kar main bahot roti thi Abhi…. Main ne uss din aap ke chale jaane ke baad ghar mein toofaan khada kar diya tha, itni chilaayi thi, kitne chizon ko toda foda tha, nah meri dayan maa, nah baap nah manoj nah Mahesh sambhal paa rahe the mujhe, uss ghar ke takriban saara samaan tod fod diya tha main ne, ek bhoot jaisi sanwaar ho gaya tha mujh par….

Baahar ek toofan tha aur uss ghar ke andar main toofaan bani hui thi, ghar ke saamne wale saare seeshe tod daale the main ne yeh kehkar ke mere Abhi ko iss baarish mein tum logon ne bhigne ko bheja to lo main iss ghar ko bhigo deti hoon, tamaan seeshon ko ek lohe se tod dala tha main ne, haath mein lag bhi gayi thi tute hue seeshe se…. ghar terraase se andar lounge tak aise bheege ke aangan lagne laga tha…. itna barish ho raha tha ke sofon ko lounge se utha kar ghar ke andar karna pada un sab ko… main ek paagal jaise behave karne lagi thi, hanss rahi thi jab sab samaan utha utha kar andar le jaa rahe the aur main bahar khadi baarish mein bhig rahi thi yeh soch kar ke mera Abhi bheeg raha hoga unn kutton ki vajah se…. kuch der baad main bhi kaampne lagi thi, papa ghanton baad mujhe andar le gaye tab mujhe ehsaas hua ke aap bhi kaamp rahe honge, aur uss haalat mein inn logon ne aap ko wapas lautaya tha… yeh chillaate hue main keh rahi thi sab se, ke dekho main kitna kaamp rahi hoon Abhi bhi to issi haal mein hoga, kyun ussko wapas bheja tum logon ne….”

Abhi thoda shaant hua tha, Ruhi ke seene se hi laga hua tha, Ruhi ne bolna bandh kiya aur Abhi Ruhi ke dil ke dhadkanon ko sun raha tha….ussne ek kiss kiya Ruhi ke seene par, Ruhi ne ussne gardan ko chuma, aur Abhi ne sar uthaakar Ruhi ke chehre mein dekha, to Ruhi ne Abhi ke munh par ek chumban diya aur dhire se kaha,

“kiss karna to bhool hi gayi hoon main, 25 saalon tak kissi ko kiss nahin kiya nah? mujhe seekhadoge dobara kiss karna hmmm?!”

Abhi ne zor se chipka liya Ruhi ko ab apne seene par aur mudhkar bachon ko dekha, bache samajh gaye aur sab baahar nikal gaye…. Tab Abhi ne halke se Ruhi ke honton se apne honton ko lagaya, aur apne jeeb ko ferra Ruhi ke kaampte honton par, Ruhi ne aakhen bandh kar li, aur Abhi ne Ruhi ke chehre ko apne haathon mein thaam kar ek lamba wala passionate kiss kiya….

Ruhi ne jaise khudko Abhi ko surrender kar diya tha uss waqt, apne jism ko bilkool dhila chorr diya tha…. Abhi ko usski jeeb ka swadh dobara haasil hua aaj aur Shweta yaad aayi iss baar…. Aur kiss rokte hue Abhi ne socha Shweta ka zikr karen.. magar Ruhi ne kuch aur hi bolna shuru kar diya…. Uss ne kaha,

“Main ne 5 saal tak Manoj se baat nahin kiye uss 5th January 1987 ke baad, aur maa se to iss tarah baat karti jaise main usski maa thi wo meri naukrani…. Koyi kaam nahin karti, sirf ghar mein baithti aur kitabein padhti, Farzina aur dusre cousin se bahot saare kitabein magwati unnke school ke library se aur padhti…. Abhi aap ke jaane ke baad yeh aangan suna papd gaya tha, jitna meri Abhi ka naam goonja karta tha iss aangan mein utna hi sannaata chaa gaya tha, uss 24th December ko jab main chali gayi thi aur wapas aayi to aagan mein itna sannata tha ke mujhe darr lagne laga tha yahan rehne ko…. Mere kaanon mein baar baar aap ki seetiyon ki awaaz sunaayi dete, aap ussi gaane ki dhund ko seeti bajaate hue sunaayi dete mujhe… jiss din main wapas aayi thi 31st se pehle ya 31st ko hi abhi yaad nahin, to main prathna karti ke bus se utrun to aangan mein kissi kaaran dekhun ke Abhi tak kaam chal raha hai bus mein aur aap yahin ho, aisa anumaan ho raha tha ke aap zaroor kissi kaaran issi aangan mein miloge mujhe, main ne aankh bandh karke main road se aangan mein daakhil hui, aur aankhen kholi to sab khali khaali dekha, bus bhi nahin tha, koi shor sharaba nahin tha, sanaata tha, sab alag sa lag raha tha, mera dil baith gaya aur dil ne kaha chala gaya tera Abhi, ab kabhi nahin wapas aane ke liye chala gaya wo…..

Aur jab aap ki new year wali wishing card mila khat ke saath to dil jhum utha ke aap aoge…. Dil ko sukoon haasil hui…. Aur tab ek tamasha hua tha Abhi…. Family members mein ek bada tamasha hua tha…. aap gaye the nah meri chachi ke ghar mujhko dhundte hue…. Shayad 28th December thaa nah? Main wahi thi uss roz. Behad khush hui thi aap ko dekh kar, itna acha laga tha dekh kar ke aap mujhko dhunte hue wahan tak chale aaye the…. Abhi tabhi mujhe pura yakeen ho gaya tha ke aap mujhse kitna pyar karte ho aur serious ho…. ussi roz main ne decide kiya tha ke ab chaahe kuch bhi ho main kissi ki nahin banungi aap ke siwa, aur koyi maene nahin rakhta tha mere liye aap ke siwa uss din main ne decide kiya tha jab aap ko rote hue mere liye meri chachi se baat karte suna tha, chachi aur maa ki bilkool nahin banti dushman hein donon ek dusre ke iss liye mujhe chachi ki baat manni padi aur main kamre ke andar chali gayi thi usski lehaaz karte hue….

Magar wohi mauka tha aap ko sunne ki aur ap ki sachi muhabat ko pehchaanne ki. Meri chachi aap ke liye ek ajnabee thi aur aap ne ek ajnabee se roya tha mere liye, aap ne apna pyar saabit kiya tha mere liye uss roz Abhi… main ne tabhi decide kiya tha ke ab ghar wapas jaakar aap ke baare mein maa se kahungi ke main aur kissi ko bhi nahin accept karungi sirf Abhi ko accept karungi varna kissi ko bhi nahin….

Magar tamasha yeh hua tha ke chachi mere pahunchne se pehle meri maa aur baap ke kaan bharne chali aayi thi ke aap kiss tarah ke insaan ho ke usske ghar tak aa gaye the mujhko dhudne ke liye… aap ko gunda mawali kaha tha ussne aur maa aur papa usske baat ko lekar itna ghussa the, saath me Manoj bhi tha… sab aap ke khilaaf the uss baat ke liye ke aap usske ghar gaye hue the mere liye…. Sab ulta hua tha, balke chachi ne sab ulta karke bataya tha yahan aakar………”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko rokte hue kaha,

“Aur tum picnic gayi thi tab mujh tak sandesha pahuchna chahti thi George ke zarye hai nah?!”

Ruhi chahunka aur Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“oh my God aap ko wo pata tha? aap ko sandesha mila tha? to kyun aaye the aap 5th ko?!”

Abhi: “Nahin mila tha sandesha Ruhi, agar mila hota to nahin ata main 5th ko…. Mujhko to karib ek mahine baad uss baat ka pata chala ke tum picnic gayi thi to George se mere bare mein puch rahi thi aur mujhe 5th ko nahin aane ko kaha tha…. khabar bahot late mila tha mujhe…. Usske baad main sochne laga tha aisa kia hua hoga ke tum nahin chahti thi ke mai 5th ko aaun….”

Ruhi: “main chahti thi ke Chachi wali baat thanda ho jaaye tab aap aao, wo baat garam thi 5th tak…Manoj, bhi naraaz tha ke aap kyun gaye the usske ghar jab aap ka koyi Rishta nahin tha uss se? ek mummy ki banti nahin thi uss se, Upar se ussne itna tamasha kiya tha ek purani baat ko lekar ke main kaise bataun aap ko meri samajh mein nahin ata abhi….

Meri uss chachi se aur hamara iss ghar se ek bada hi ajib o gharib Rishta hai Abhi main yeh baad mein bataungi aap ko…. Meri life ki sabse badi ghalati wali Rishta hai mera us ghar se Abhi…. Magar abhi mat puchna main dhire dhire aap se sab kuch bataungi…. Abhi kuch aur bolna hai mujhe aap se…

Jab aap ki shaadi ki khabar suni to bahot royi main….

”

Abhi: “Pehle mujhe yeh batao ke tumko meri mangni phir shaadi ki khabar mili kaise? Navina to uss side rehti hai, yahan se 10/15 kilometres door hai, aur idhar ke log uss taraf se bilkool katte hue hein, tumhare main road se East jaate hein saare raste, usski road se south ziada tarr jaate hein to tumko kaise khabar milte the? Koyi related family members tha kia tumhara?!”

Ruhi ne muskuraya, apne chasme ko nikala aur phir Abhi ke chehre ko sehlaate hue kaha,

“main Aap ki khabar rakhti thi Abhi, mujhe sirf itna nahin pata ke rehte kidhar ho magar aap ke har harkat ki khabar rakhti thi main!”

Abhi: “magar kaise? Agar itna hi khabar rakhti thi mera to mujhse contact hi kar leti tum? Tumhein nahin lagta ke tumne ghalat kiya? Kumse kum tab to mujhse mil leti jab main Rahima ke ghar diaries chorrne aya tha, wo mera aakhri baar yahan aana tha, main aur bhi ana chahta tha magar jab Mehboob ne mujhe mere diaries wapas kiye to aisa kuch kaha ke yahan aana bandh karna hi pada mujhe!”

Ruhi: “Abhi taqdeer ka khel samjho ya yun kahun ke upar wala chahta tha ke mujhe aap ke baare mein sab pata chalta rahe hamesha… kissi tarah bhi mujhe aap ke baare mein pata chal hi jata tha…. ab batati hon ke kaisse mangni ki khabar mili aur phir kaise shaadi ka pata chala mujhe…. Ek tarah se kusoorwaar main thi nah? main ne aap ko takliff diya tha, main ne aap ko door kiya tha khud se, main ne aap ko thukraya tha, main ne apni maa ki baat suni thi aap ke pyar ko thukraya tha to mujhe sab saza milna tha aur main tab tayyaar ho gayi thi saare saza bhugatne ke liye, main ne thaan liya tha ke main datke saamna karungi apne mukadar ki, main ne bahot strongly decide kar liya tha aur maa aur papa se bahot gambhirta se oonchi awaaz mein rote hue Manoj aur Mahesh ke saamne keh diya tha ke umar bhar shaadi nahin karungi, bina shadi kiye hi marr jaungi, chaahe aap se nah bhi milun to aise hi marr jaungi, main dekhna chahti thi ke kismat mujhse se kab tak ruthi rehti hai, kab tak aap se door rakhti hai mujhe aur main sazaa bhugatna chahti thi, mere aur mere pariwar ke taraf se aap ko jitna dukh mila tha usska sazaa bhugatne ke liye tayyaar ho gayi thi main 1987 mein hi….

Aur dekho sazaa yeh mili ke wheelchair par baitha diya mukadar ne mujhe, aap ko bahut rulaya aur dukh diya tha nah main ne issi ki sazaa paaya main ne Abhi…. Aap dil ke bahot saaf the, main nahin thi, main double cards play kar rahi thi, aap se kitna jhoot bola tha, aap se kitna kuch chhupaya tha main ne, phir bhi aap mujhse pyar karte rahe, main ne aap ko bata bhi diya tha main virgin nahin phir bhi aap mujhse pyar karte rahe, aap ko maa aur papa se milkar jhoot kaha ke papa ke saath chali jaungi, aap ko yahan kitna tadpaati rahi, aap chahte the ke aap ke saamne dikhun phir bhi khidki band kar diya karti thi, aap ke saamne nahin aati thi, bahot tadpaati thi aap ko, sirf maa ki baton ko sunti thi, ek baar to aap ko suna bhi rahi thi ke aap kia samajhte ho ke main aap se shaadi karungi….

Aap ko kitna dukh diya tha main ne unn der mahinon mein… sab yaad hai mujhe Abhi ussi ki sazaa paane ke liye main tayyaar ho gayi thi… yeh ek aur vajah thi ke aap ko khat nahin likha aur aap se milne ki koshish nahin kiya tha main ne kyun ke main khud ko sazaa dena chahti thi, aap ke paak aur sache pyar ko jaise thukraya tha, waise hi khud ko sazaa dena shuru kar diya tha main ne aap se door hokar aur tey karke ke kissi ko bhi apni life mein nahin aane dungi, aap ki ban kar rahungi chaahe door hi sahi….

Haan mujhe pata kaise chala, to suniye Aap ki wife ek bahot achi teacher thi, itni achi ke hamare ilake ki kayi students jaate the usski college mein padhne, unn mein se ek thi Reza ki chhoti behen. Uss se mujhe khabar milti thi, kyunke wo aap ko janti thi, aur ussne aap ko ek roz apne teacher ke sath dekha tha jab aap ussko college ke saamne wait kar rahe the aap ki mangni ke baad.

Tab ussne apni teacher se pucha the ke aap kaun ho, aur teacher ne uss se kaha tha ke aap usski mangitar ho… aap ko English likhna padhna passand tha, mujhe bhi, to aap ko ek English teacher mili hmmm? Abhi? English likh kar hi pataya hoga ussko nah aap ne? aap itni achi love letter likhte the, to sochne lagi thi main ke zaroor aap ne ussko likha hoga, kuch to likha hoga aap ne jo usski dil ko bhaa gayi hogi aur aap se pyar ho gayi hogi ussko… main hi paagal thi ke aap ke teen behtareen love letters ko padhne ke baad bhi aap ke pyar ko nahin pehchana tha main ne, ya yun kehye ke pehchana to tha magar do ghode par sanwaar kar rahi thi uss France ke Amit ko behtar samajh rahi thi maa ki baton mein aakar…. Sahi kaha tha aap ne ke mujhe shaan , shaukat, dhan Daulat ki bhook thi, haan shaayad thi unn dinon, aap se tulna karti thi Amit ki, to aap nicha dikhaayi dete the balke maa aap ko nicha dikhaati thi mujhe, main aap ko maa ki nazron se aur mehbob ke nazron se dekhti thi… aap ko apni nazron se tab se dekhna shuru kiya jab aap ko kho diya main ne……”

Update 61 The Secret Revealed​

Sahi kaha tha aap ne ke mujhe shaan , shaukat, dhan Daulat ki bhook thi, haan shaayad thi unn dinon, aap se tulna karti thi Amit ki, to aap nicha dikhaayi dete the balke maa aap ko nicha dikhaati thi mujhe, main aap ko maa ki nazron se aur mehbob ke nazron se dekhti thi… aap ko apni nazron se tab se dekhna shuru kiya jab aap ko kho diya main ne……”

Ab aguey….

Abhi ne Ruhi ko phir wheelchair se apne goad mein uthaya aur iss baar Abhi sofe par baitha aur Ruhi ko apne goad mein bithaya ek bacche ki tarah… Abhi hamesha kehta aya tha unn dinon ko ke Ruhi bahot halki hai aur ab uss se bhi ziada halki ho gayi thi kyunke aur patli ho gayai thi, usski weight aur bhi ghatt gayi thi….

Sofe par Ruhi ko apne goad mein lekar baithne ke baad Ruhi ne Abhi ke gale mein apne baahon ko daal diya aur Abhi ke aankon ki gehraayi mein jhaankne lagi phir kaha,

“Aap ki Aankhen nahin badle shukar hai, wohi gehraayi, wohi khubsurti, aur aap ki eyebrows jo hai nah ab bhi weise hi hein, mujhe disturb feel hota tha jab isse dekhti thi pata hai kyun? Kyunke yeh mere eyebrows se bahut ziada khubsurat hein, ladkiyon ko peelings karwane padte hein eise eyebrows banaane ke liye aur aap ke natural itne khubsurat eyebrows hein, kia yeh pata hai aap ko?!”

“Abi ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“haan Naina hamesha kehti thi, phir baad mein Navina ne bhi kaha, usski behnon ne bhi kaha, aur Shhss….”

Abhi Shweta ka naam lene jaa raha tha magar ruk gaya…. Ruhi ne phir Abhi se ussko aur kiss karne ko kaha…. Abhi ne Ruhi ko kaske bahon mein bharke kiss kiya, aur Ruhi se kaha,

“jawaan tha, mauka tha, fursat bhi tha, tab to nakhrein karti thi, tab ki baat aur hoti nah, kitna tadapta tha tujhe kiss karne ke liye, jawani ki josh mein wo kiss kuch aur hi tha hai ke nahin? Aaj sab feeka nahin lag raha hmmm? Tab kyun itna tadpati thi mujhe?”

Ruhi ke aankhen bhar aaye aur kaha,

“Taana maar rahe ho aap? Aap ke jaane ke baad, umar dhalne se pehle kia aap ke unn kiss aur chhuwan ko miss nahin kiya main ne aap ke khayal se? pichle 25 Saalon mein karoron baar sochi hoon unn palon ko jiss jiss waqt aap ne mujhe chhua, kahan kahan chhua, kab kab chhua… wo sab aaj bhi feel karti hoon… yaad hai jab ghar ke piche pehli baar aap ne mere boob dabaya tha to main ne aap ko chhota sa chaata mara tha, aur aap zabardasti pakar rahe phir se?! kia main wo sab nahin sochti aap ke khayal se?... jiss din aap ko lunch ke liye invite kiya tha aap kitna chah rahe the, main ne aap ko refuse kiya tha aage badhne ke liye…. Jab aap se juda ho gaye to hazaar baar kaha ke aap ko sab kar dena chahiye tha, jitni baar aap ka mann tha mujhe aap ko free chorr dena chahiye tha… aap ne kitni baar kaha tha ke aap ne life mein kabhi nahin kiya hai aap ko bada mann tha wo sab karne ko magar main free thi karne de sakti thi kyunke virgin nahin thi magar pata nahin kyun nahin karne diya tha…..

Aap se bichadne ke baad itna afsos hua ke roti reh gayi unn palon ko soch soch kar… khoon ke aansoo roye hein main ne aap ko yaad kar kar ke Abhi….”

Itne mein Mahesh ki wife aayi Ruhi ke kamre mein aur kaha,

“Aap dinner karke ghar jana khana almost tayyaar hai….”

Abhi jaldi se khada ho gaya aur kaha,

“Oh no? 6 baj gaye? Itni jaldi, no I am sorry mujhe jaana hoga, phir kabhi dinner karunga, Ruhi I got to go, must go to take back Navina at the Uni…. Idhar se hi direct jaunga….”

Ruhi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhti rahi, bade pyar bhare nazron se aur tab Abhi ne apne mobile nikala aur Navina ko jaldi jaldi text likh kar send kiya, phir Ruhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“You must now have a mobile nah? Do you? Give me your number Ruhi!”

Ruhi ne sisakte hue kaha,

“haan hai aksar roti hoon yeh soch kar ke kyun hamare jawani ke dinon mein nahin tha yeh mobile, jiss din aap aaye the aap ko mobile se keh deti nah nahin aane ko, sab thanda hone ke baad bulaati aap ko…. Aur aap ko nikala bhi gaya tha ghar se to aap ko call karke baat to kar sakti thi nah? Mobile to kia phone bhi nahin laga tha unn dinon aap ke jaane ke 5/6 mahine baad phone bhi lag gayi thi aap ko ghar ka number dena chahti thi magar unhi dinon aap ki mangni ki khabar mili thi to idea drop kiya tha main ne…..”

Abhi ne Ruhi ka number liya. Aur turant ussko miscall kiya aur kaha,

“Sunon, kal aunga tumse milne aur diaries launga, tumne bataya nahin kitne padhe the uss roz Diary ko?!”

Ruhi: “sirf 10 pages padhe the Abhi, bahot mann tha padhne ko kia likha tha aap ne…. unn 10 pehle pages ko padhte hue itni khush thi main aur aap ne describe kiya tha aap yahan kaam karne aaye ho aur ek ladki dikhi aap ko, aap sab explain kar rahe the, main badi dilchaspi se padh rahi thi ke achanak uss dayan ne mere haath se diaries chhina, main ne tab uss se baat karni bandh kar di thi, to wo mujhe aur sataana chahti thi… main ne socha tha kuch der baad mujhe wapas kar degi magar bilkool nahin socha tha ke wo Manoj ko de degi…. Main Manoj se bhi baat nahin karti thi to kaise uss se maangti…. Manoj ne thoda kuch padha aur wapas Mehboob ko de diya tha…”

Abhi: “kal to kia aaj raat ko hi laa sakta hoon aadhi raat mein padh logi…. Main chahta tha ke marne se pehle tumse ek baar mil paun aur wo tumko padhne ko de paun…. Tumhare bajae Navina ne padha tha unn diaries ko, tabhi usskko mujhse pyar hua… yaad rakhna mujhko Navina se pyar nahin hua tha ussko mujhse pyar hui thi, aur main tumhari tarah nahin tha ke ussko aur usske pyar ko thukra doon…. Accept kiya usske pyar ko aur hum donon aaj tak khush hein”

Ruhi: “Best kiya aap ne… aap ko thukraane ka matlab ka pata chal gaya tha yahan se reject hone ke baad… aap ko zaroor ussko accept karna hi tha.. bahot acha kiya aap ne kyunke usski jaisi aurat dunya mein karonron mein ek hote hein, mujhe pata hai kaisi hai wo….. main khush hoti thi; ussko jab aap ke saath sochti thi, pata tha aap ko koyi weisa hi chahiye tha jo aap ka achci tarah se khayal rakh sake, jo aap se behad pyar kare, Bahot deserving the aap weisi koyi apni life mein paane ke liye, main to tum donon ke salaamati ke liye duaein karti aayi hoon hamesha se Abhi…… Magar Abhi, abhi iss waqt jiss jhatke se aap ne mujhe sofe par ralh kar uthe, aur kaha ke 6 baj gaye aur aap ko navina ko lene jana hai wo dekh kar mujho jalan feel hui… iss liye ke socha aaj main hoti aap ki life mein to aap aaj ye mere liye keh rahe hote ke aap ko Ruhi ko lene jaana hai aap ko late ho rahi hai….. hamare life mein to yeh din bilkool nahin aya Abhi….

”

Aabhi ne kaha,

“Hamare life mein bhi weh din agaye abhi, ab main navina se aksar kahunga ke mujhe Ruhi ko lene jana hai ya mujhe Ruhi ke ghar jana hai wo din aa gaye Ruhi”

Ruhi: “Wo aap ko mujhse milne ane degi?”

Abhi: “Tum usse nahin jaanti Ruhi wo farishta hai, wo to tumse milna chahti hai, mujhko bahot pehle keh diya hai ke kabhi aap ko Ruhi mili to mujhse zaroor milwana mujhe ussko thanks karna hai…”

Ruhi heyraan hote hue puchti hai,

“mujhko thanks karna hai kiss liye?!”

Abhi: “kiss liye wo main nahin bataunga jab uss se milogi tab khud puch lena… main kal hi Navina ko lekar aaun kia? No no no…. first you should complete reading the diaries then only I will make you meet Navina….. are sunon Ruhi, tum mere ghar chalogi?”

Ruhi: “What? Kia? Kab? Abhi iss waqt Abhi?!”

Abhi: “iss waqt agar nahin to kabhi bhi, ya to tumko apne ghar lechalun Navina se milne ya ussko lekar aaun tumse milne…”

Ruhi: “No, baad mein Abhi…… Weise Abhi mujhe aur bahot kuch kehna hai tumse…. Aur bahot important hai mujhe wo sab bata deni chahiye aaj abhi issi waqt….”

Abhi: “Okay aur 15/20 mins rukta hoon come on sweetheart tell me more….”

Ruhi ne himmat karke ab jo sabse zaroori baat Abhi ko itne saalon se bataani thi aaj bataane ko thaan liya tha, Ruhi ne gehri saans lete hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Abhi yaad hai pehli baar jab aap ne mujhe bataya tha letter ke through ke aap mujhse pyar karte ho to main ne kuch der baad sabse pehli baat aap se yeh kahi thi ke kia aap mere ghalatiyon ko maaf kar sakte ho? yaad hai abhi? Aur aap ne turant bina soche samjhte jhat se kahaa tha ke haan aap mere sare ghalatiyon ko maaf kar doge….”

Abhi ne kaha,

“kaise bhool sakta hoon Ruhi? Sab ke sab written hein mere diaries mein kal tum sab khud padhna ab….”

Ruhi: “Abhi, aap ne kyun kabhi jaanne ki koshish nahin kiye ke meri ghalati kia thi? Kaun si ghalati kiya tha main ne wo aap ne kyun nahin pucha mujhse Abhi?”

Abhi: “Ari wo tumne bata diya tha nah ke tum virgin nahin ho to ussi ko ghalati samjha tha main, kyun aur koyi ghalati thi kia? Weise ab iss se kia lena dena Ruhi forget it nah yaar!!”

Ruhi: “No Abhi you need to know it is VERY IMPORTANT…. Abhi meri ussi ghalati ki vajah se Maa aur Mehboob mujhe aap se door karte gaye, ussi ghalati ki vajah se main aaj iss mukaam par hoon, ussi meri ek ghalati ki vajah se jo bhi maa kehti main karti gayi, kyunke main ek mujrim jaisi thi, sazaa bhugat rahi thi to jo bhi maa kehti mujhe karna padta tha, wo kahe yeh laal nahin safed hai to mujhe ussko laal rang ko safed kehna padta tha….”

Abhi: “ari aisa bhi kia? Aisa kia kiya tha tumne bhala? Kaun si galati kar daali thi ke itna bhi domination ho raha tha tumhare saath?”

Ruhi: “Abhi aap uss ghalati ko jaante ho, wo ghalati aap ke saamne tha, kayi baar wo ghalati aap ke paas bhi tha….”

Abhi: “Ruhi please stop playing games, no puzzles now saaf saaf batao jo batana hai!”

Ruhi ke Aankhen bhar aaye aur Abhi ko fix dekhte hue kaha,

“Abhi yaad hai ek roz jab hum ghar ke piche kiss kar rahe the to aap ne mujhse kaha tha ke main aap ko ek beti doon jo bilkool meri tarah dikhe itni hi khubsurat aur sweet? Yaad hai main ne kaha tha haan ek din dungi aap ko wo beti?!”

Abhi: “Wo kaise bhool sakta hoon main kabhi Ruhi? But now is it not too late for that?!”

Ruhi: “Abhi meri ghalati wohi meri beti hai Abhi!! I had a child in 1986 Abhi!!!”

Abhi ko jhatka laga, wo uth khada hua, aur usske dimagh sunn ho gaya, usske dil ke dhadkanen tez hue, ussko jaise saans lene mein takliff hone lage aur do chaar kadam room mein chala Abhi aur Ruhi ke paas aate hue kaha…..,

“Ruhi I hope ke wo nahin jisse main soch raha hoon iss waqt, She cannot be ….NO. N..N..N.. N.. NO… NO NO NO OH MY GOD!!! SHWETA????!!!”

Ruhi zor se rone lagi aur haan mein sar hillaya!!!

Abhi ghutnon ke bal agaya aur sisakne laga….. thoda hanff raha tha thoda ro raha tha, ussko bahot takliff ho rahi thi, usske aankhon ke saamne jaise andhera chaane laga tha… wo apne physical rishte ko sochne laga Shweta ke saath aur socha ke wo agar ab Ruhi ko pata chala to kia hoga….

Ruhi ne kaha,

“jab aap ne pehli baar Shweta ko dekha tha to mujhse kaha tha ke wo bilkool meri tarah dikhti hai aur main ne inkaar kiya tha aap se yeh kehte ke nahin wo meri tarah nahin dikhti…. Mujhe pata tha ke aap sahi the…. Aur Shweta aap ko itna pyar karti thi wo mujhe bahot hi achcha laga tha unn dinon, wo aap se bahot ghul mil gayi thi…. Ussko to yeh bhi nahin pata tha ke main usski maa thi unn dinon…..”

Abhi farsh par baitha ek sajde ke position mein tha aur rote jaa raha tha zameen par apna sar patakte hue….

Ruhi ne tab kaha,

“Abhi main ne aap ko, maangne se pehle hi wo beti de diya tha aap ko…. Yaad hai main ne usskko bheja tha kissy dene ke liye jab aap kaam se wapas jaa rahe the aur ussne oonchi awaaz mein sabko bata diya tha ke main ne usse aap ko kissy dene ko kaha tha?!!!”

Aabhi ki bolti bandh tha… wo hannff raha tha, jaise ussko saans lene mei takliff ho rahe the…. Abhi phir utha, chal kar khidki ke paas gaya thandi hawaa khaane ke liye, wahin khade rehkar mudhar wapas Ruhi ke chehre mei dekha aur pucha…..

“Abhi Shweta ko pata hai ke tum usski maa ho?!”

Ruhi: “haan ab pata hai ussko, jab 18 saal ki hui tab pata chala ussko, wo bahot ghussa hui mujhse ke kyun main ne ussko bachpan se nahin pata chalne diya ke main usski maa hoon, mujhse jhagda karke chali gayi wo aaj tak wapas nahin aayi…. Jaise main apni maa se baat nahin karti wo bhi mujhse baat nahin karti…. Bahot ghussa hai mujhse se kyunke wo kehti hai ke main ne ussko 18 saal apni maamta se mehroom rakha….ghussa hai ke kyun wo meri chachi ko apni maa samjhti rahi, kyun ussko affection nahin diya, kyun ussko main ne apne se door rakha…. Abhi main majboor thi….

Jiss haalaat mein wo paida hui mujhe samajh mein nahin aya ke kia karna chahiye, jo bhi gharwalon ne thik samjha wohi kiya aur mujhse sabke haan mein haan milana hi pada tha Abhi.”

Abhi ne rote hue Ruhi ke paas aakar kaha,

“Ruhi yeh kia kiya tumne… main ne tabhi tumse keh diya tha ke agar tum ek bachi ki maa bhi hoti tab bhi main tumse shaadi karne ko tayaar tha, yaar main tumse shaadi karta aur Shweta ko goad le leta mujhe kitna acha lagta ke Shweta meri beti hoti, tumne yeh baat chhupa kar itna badi ek aur ghalati kar diya ke main kaise bataun tujhe ke tum ne kia kiya hai Ruhi…. Main kitna pyar karti thi uss se…. ab bhi karta hoon….. magar Ruhi tmmne kaha ke Shweta ko usski 18 saal se pata hai ke tum usski maa ho?? Matlab ussko sab pata hote hue bhi mujh se……??!!”

Abhi sochne laga ke Sweta ko pata tha ke wo Ruhi ki beti hai phir bhi wo Abhi se sexual relationship mein banni rahi….. ab Abhi samjha ke jab Shweta ne kaha tha ke wo badla le rahi hai kissi se to wo Ruhi ko mean kar rahi thi…. Wo Abhi ko chhin rahi thi apni maa se….. yehi badla le rahi thi Shweta Apni maa se….!

OH!!! Abhi ne sar par donon haath rakh kar maathe ko peethne laga…. Ruhi heyraan ussko dekhti rahi magar shukar hai ke Ruhi kuch bhi nahin samjhi… Ruhi ko bilkool bhi nahin pata tha ke Abhi aur Shweta ek dusre se milte hein…..

Abhi ab Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“You were around 20/21 when I knew you right? Or were you older Ruhi?”

Ruhi: “I was almost same age as you rather I am 6 Months younger than you Abhi, I had lied when I had told you I was 20….”

Abhi ne sar khujaate hue kaha,

“Tumhari ek 6 Saal ki bachi thi 1986 mein? Aur tum tab 22 saal ki thi, 22 minus 6 = 16…… at 16 you got that baby means at 15 you had sex and got pregnant?!!! Oh MY GOD!!!”

Abhi ab bahot serious ho gaya tha… rona dhona bandh ho gaya tha, ab usska dimaagh kaam karna bandh kar diya tha…..

Abhi kamre mein idhar se udhar, udhar se idhar chal raha tha pagalon ki tarah, soch raha tha samajhne ki koshish kiye jaa raha tha, usske dimaag mein tarah tarah ke khayaalaat arahe the… aur wapas mudhkar Ruhi se pucha,

“KAun? Kaun hai? Baap kaun hai? Kaise hua jab tum underage thi to?!”

Abhi ab bahot serious ho gaya tha… rona dhona bandh ho gaya tha, ab usska dimaagh kaam karna bandh kar diya tha…..

Abhi kamre mein idhar se udhar, udhar se idhar chal raha tha pagalon ki tarah, soch raha tha samajhne ki koshish kiye jaa raha tha, usske dimaag mein tarah tarah ke khayaalaat arahe the… aur wapas mudhkar Ruhi se pucha,

Ab Aaguey….

Bataane se pehle Ruhi ne nazrein jhuka liye, usski awaaz tut pade, usske honth thartharaane lage, aur ashkon ke samumdar se eise lehren uthe ke Ruhi wheelchair se girrne wali thi jab Abhi ne jhat se ussko sambhala, aur Ruhi niche zameen par baith gayi rote hue.

Abhi ne ussko baahon mein bhar liya aur chhup karate hue usske sar aur peeth par haath ferrne laga….. wo roti jaa rahi thi, aur Abhi ne in alfaazon se ussko tassalli dete hue kaha,

“Its okay sweetheart, hota hai tumhara koyi kusoor nahin iss mein, tum nadaan thi, tumhare bholepan ka kissi ne faeda uthaya hoga, aisa hua hai kitnon ke saath, ho jata hai issi ko ghalati kehte hein nah, buss chhup ho jao nah, tab nah bata paogi mujhe… dekho mujhe der ho rahi hai Navina ko lene jaana hai ab bata bhi do… phir chahe to aur ro lena mere chale jaane ke baad…. Shhhhhh ab chhup ho jao baby!”

Ruhi ne rote rote hanss diye yeh kehkar,

“Baby? ab bhi baby keh rahe ho mujhe? Baby main tab thi 25 saal pehle jab aap lunch karne aaye the mere yahan, ab to pakaati bhi nahin ke aap ke liye ek dish bana sakun….”

Yeh keh kar Ruhi ne baahon mein bhar liya Abhi ko. Abhi ne ussko weise hi goad mein uthaake sofe par bithaya aur Ruhi se sab bataane ko kaha.

Ruhi ne bolna shuru kiya,

“Abhi tab mera period regular nahin raha karta tha…. kabhi do to kabhi teen mahine baad aate the. Iss liye mujhe pata bhi nahin chala ke pregnant thi…. Varna late nahin hota ussko gira sakti thi, magar pata chala to chautha mahina chal raha tha doctor ne kaha khatra hai agar giraane ki koshish kiya gaya to…..”

Abhi: “are baba mujhe yeh batao ke bache ka baap kaun hai meri maa!!”

Ruhi: ”mera ek class mate tha jo mujhe bahot passand tha, mujhse pyar karta tha…. wo bhi same age ka tha! college ke din the, teenager thi main bhi, Chanchal shauk hasinaon mein gini jaati thi, khubsurat thi unn dinon larparwah raha karti thi, kissi chiz ka khayal nahin tha ke kia ho raha hai…. Uss ladke ne ek din mujhko propose kiya…. Main itni nadaan thi ke jhat se haan keh diya ussko…. Karti bhi kia, koyi boyfriend nahin tha mera, unn dinon hote bhi nahin the kissi ka boyfriend…. Wo ladka mujhse pyar karne ka dawaa karta tha….. “

Abhi ne Ruhi ko rokte hue kaha,

“kahan ka rehne wala tha? yahin kahin? Kidhar college jaati thi tum? Yahan se door?!”

Ruhi ne jo bayan kiya ussko ab flashback mein dikhaate hein.

Flashback Of Ruhi’s College Days

1980. Bahot saare Amitabh Bachchan ke fans the dunya bhar mein. Ek saal mein usski 5 super hits hote the, har saal 2 ya 3 filmein super duper hits hote the. Saare cinema gharon mein Amitabh Bachchan ki filmein lagte to hulad mach jaya karta tha.. aur saalon tak usske filmein theatres mein chalte rehte the. Dostana, Ram Balram, Shaan, Yarana, Naseeb, Lawaris, Kala Pathar, Mr.Natwarlaal, Sholay, jaise filmein iss saal mein tamaan theatres mein chal rahe the aur sab house full rehte the…. Aur sabke sab super hits the.

Usske fans mein se Ruhi ek thi jo theatre jaya karti thi Amitabh ki Filmein dekhne.

Ruhi ko apne ghar se ek bus se college jana hota tha unn dinon. Sirf 30 mins ki route thi aur wo college early reach ho jaati thi har subha. Gaurav naam ka ladka usska ashik tha, wo har roz Ruhi ka wait karta aur donon ghumte the jab tak school ka time nahin ho jata. Donon hum umar the aur same class mein the.

Ek din Gaurav ne class bunk karne ko kaha Ruhi se aur cinema jaane ka plan banaya donon ne aur gaye bhi Amitabh ki Naseeb dekhne. Magar theatre jaane se pehle unnke paas bahut waqt tha 10 baje ka show tha to subha 8 se 10 baje tak donon parc mein ghumne gaye. Uss waqt parc khali tha subha jo tha, to donon ek door ke kone mein gaye aur kiss viss karne mein lag gaye…. Ruhi mana karti bhi thi aur karne bhi deti thi, thoda bahot nakhrein karti…. Gaurav chipak jata tha uss se aur usske haath Ruhi ke jism par chaaron taraf ferrta rehta…..

Ruhi kabhi ghussa hoti to kabhi afsos karti Gaurav par chillane ya ussko daantne ke baad… Gaurav kaafi aage badh gaya tha Ruhi ke blouse ne niche haath daal kar usski bra ki cup ke niche ungli karke usski boob aur nipple ko tatolta aur sehlata rehta… chussna chahta magar Ruhi aage nahin badhne deti thi….

Donon phir cinema chale gaye…. Cinema mein uss roz ziada log nahin the 10 ki show mein, hall khali khali tha, to ek behtaeen kone ko select kiya baithne ke liye donon ne aur film ke dauraan Gaurav film dekh hi nahin raha tha wo to laga hua tha Ruhi ko chumne aur usski jism ko massalne mein… baar baar Ruhi Gaurav ko maarti, magar Gaurav kuch ziada hi aage badh gaya tha Ruhi ki bra bhi unhook kar gaya tha aur usski skirt bhi ziada upar utha chuka tha aur usska haath Ruhi ke jism par chaaron taraf ferr rahe the….

Ruhi film dekhne mein itni doobi hui thi ke Gaurav usske saath kia kar raha tha wo khayal hi nahin kar rahi thi… Ruhi tab chahunki jab Gaurav ne Ruhi ke haath ko apne sex par rakha….. jhat se Ruhi ne haath khincha aur Gaurav ko ek chaanta mara….. baaki ke film donon ne bilkool khamosh hokar dekhe…. Kissi ne ek dusre ek baat nahin kiye, Ruhi ne apne dress ko charon taraf thik kiya…..

Jab movie end ho gayi to donon ko ghar jaane ke liye early tha iss liye wapas uss parc mein gaye ussi kone mein aur koyi tha hi nahin, parc bilkool khali tha….. Gaurav ne Ruhi ko kiss karte hue usski dress upar kar liya aur usski panty utaarne lagi….

Kyunke Ruhi ne Gaurav ko thapad mara tha cinema hall mein aur sorry feel kiya tha iss liye iss baar Ruhi compensate karne ke liye Gaurav ko wo karne de rahi thi jo wo karna chahta tha…

Der nahin laga bilkool Gaurav ko Ruhi ko ghanss par leytane ke liye aur ussko penetrate karne ke liye…. Sab bahot fast hua aur Gaurav Ruhi ke andar hi jhad gaya, nadaan tha, teenager tha ussko pata hi kahan tha ke baahar nikaalna chahiye, ya josh mein mauka hi nahin mila pull out karne ke liye aur kaam ho gaya…..

Ruhi ne bhi kuch khaas dhyan nahin diya, magar royi thi jab Gaurav ne ussko penetrate kiya tha, aur khoon ke kuch katre apne panty par dekh kar darr bhi gayi thi….

Dusre din iss baare mein donon ne baat bhi kiye the aur usske baad kabhi bhi Ruhi usske saath kahin nahin gayi aur nah hi Gaurav ko usse chhune diya…..

College girl thi to Ruhi ko pata tha sex karne se kia hota hai, aur wohi baat Gaurav ko bhi pata tha magar kyunke Ruhi ki menstruation regular nahin the to ussi ne hi Gaurav se kaha tha ke koyi problem nahin kyunke usski period hua hi nahin tha kayi mahinon se….

Aur din guzarte gaye phir chauthe mahine mein jab Ruhi ki period hua nahin aur ussko peth ka dard hone laga tab usski maa ussko doctor ke paas legayi to pata chala ke wo 4 mahinon se pregnant hai!!!

End of Flashback

Jo flashback mein likha abhi wo sab Ruhi ne Abhi ke seene se chipki hui bataya tha Abhi ko, aur phir Ruhi ne ab Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha;

“kia kiya tha hum ne? mujhe ek ridiculous bachon ke khel jaise laga tha uss din cinema ke baad jo parc mein hua tha, socha hi nahin tha usska gambhirta… kuch feel bhi nahin kiya tha main ne, kuch samajh mein aya hi nahin tha, buss ek chubhan si feel hui thi aur 4 mahine ki pregnancy aya result…. Aap mat puchiye mera kia haal kiya mummy ne, itni maar padi mujhe ke main bata nahin sakti, itni gali galoch sunne ko mila, ghar mein sharam ke maare munh nahin dikha paati thi, bhaiyon se munh chipaaye firti thi, college jana bandh hua aur mummy pata nahin kiss kiss se milkar kia kia bandobast karne lagi thi… papa ke saamne jaane se bahot sharm aati thi mujhe, phir bhi papa mujhe baar baar tassali dene aata tha… manoj ghussa karta tha, Mahesh to bahot chhota tha usske samajh mein kuch nahin ata tha…..”

Abhi Ruhi ke baalon mein apne ugliyon ko ferrte hue Ruhi ke maathe ko chuma aur pucha,

“phir kia kiya meri baby ne? kitna dukh uthayi thi? Hmm? Kyun main tab tumse nahin mila tha? tumko turant apna leta pregnancy ke saath….. aur uss Gaurav se nahin mili tumhari maa?”

Ruhi: “Manoj apne doston ke saath milkar ussko bahut mara tha, ussko hospitalize kar diya tha. Abhi aaj main aap ko batati hoon Meri dayan maa paison ki bhooki hai, usska bass chalta to mujhe bech bhi sakti thi paison ke liye. Mummy Gaurav ke gharwale se milne gayi aur dhamki diya ke police mein jaegi aur case karegi to Gaurav ko jail jana hoga… mummy ne unn dinon 25 hazaar rupay liye Gaurav ke pita se maamla ko rafa dafa karne ke liye…. Aap se meri chachi ne kaha tha nah ke meri maa ek laalchi aurat hai, bilkool sahi kaha tha…. maa hamesha se paison ki bhooki thi…. Papa yahin driver ka kaam karta tha aur sab acha chal raha tha… maa ne papa ko majboor kiya tha ke S.Arabia jaaye driving karne taake wahan ziada paisa kama sake…. Maa ke liye paisa sab kuch tha… paison ki diwaani hai wo aaj bhi…..

Jab aap ko TV par dekha to itna taana maara tha main ne usske muhn par ke jao bheek mango ab Abhi se, usske paas to ab karoron rupay honge, dekho kitna bada aadmi ban gaya hai, mahal hoga uske paas bade bade cars honge Abhi ke paas. Aap ke pati ke paas aap ke beton ke paas kia hai ghanta?!!”

Abhi ne pucha,

Phir kia hua sweetheart? Shweta tumhare chachi ke paas kaise pahunchi?”

Ruhi boli,

“Mera panchwa mahina shuru hua to mera tabiyat kharab hone laga…. Hospital lejaya gaya mujhe ek raat aur chachi uss raat ko duty par thi to ussko sab pata chal gaya.

Ek baat bataani bhool gayi aap ko, ghar mein mere papa ne mujhe utna nahin kaha jitna Mehboob ne mujhe sunaya tha… mummy ne Mehboob ko bata diya tha, Mehboob ne mere papa ke saamne mujhe bade bade gali diye the, kaha the tu randi banne chali hai? College padhne jaati thi ya kissi kothe wali ke yahan jati thi dhanda karne ke ek bacha lekar ayi hai tu peth mein?!’

Main uss din se Mehboob se darrne lagi thi. Mujhe kabhi kissi ne aise gaali nahin diya tha, Mehboob ne hi mummy se kaha tha ke bache ke paida hone ke baad ussko kissi anaathalay mein chorr diya jaaye ye kissi mandir, church ya masjid ke saamne rakh diya jaaye….

Mera peth ab dikhne laga tha, mohalle mein kissi ko mere parents ne kuch nahin bataya tha… papa sochne lage ke kia jawaab denge sabko, kaise munh dikhayenge sab ko, papa ki badi izat thi mohalle mein usska naam badnaam ho jata.. tab bhi Mehboob ne hi kaha ke mujhko kahin aur chorr dena chahiye jab tak bache ko janam nah de dun, kahin bahot door jaakar rehna chahiye mujhe aur udhar hi bache ko janam dene ke baad mohalle mein wapas aaun to kissi ko kuch pata nahin chalega….

Aur uss raat ko jab chachi ko pata chala ke main pregnant hoon to ussne sab bandobast kiye.. wo bhi buri hai, ghalat hai magar ussne meri bachi ko bachaya kissi aashram ya kahin aur jaane se…. kyunke usski shaadi ko kayi saal ho gaye the aur usski koyi aulaad nahin thi to ussne kaha ke wo bachi ki maa banegi, usska naam aayega birth certificate par, aur usski pati ka naam aega as father.

Uss raat ke baad mujhe chachi apni ghar legayi tab se Shweta ki birth tak main chachi ke ghar mein rahi, usski janam hone ke ek saal baad main apne ghar wapas aayi apne dil ke tukde ko chachi ke paas chorr kar…. Ek private clinic mein mujhko deliver karwaya chachi ne usski contacts the, aur uss doctor ne jissne meri delivery karwaya ussne mujhse sab saaf saaf samjhaya ke main koyi bacha nahin janam de rahi hoon, meri chachi pregnant hai aur wo birth de rahi hai, mera to naam bhi nahin register hua tha uss clinic mein balke chachi ka naam register hua tha as a pregnant woman aur meri birth ke turant baad meri baby ko chachi ke paas diya gaya kyunke ussi waqt ussi roz chachi bhi maternal ward mein ek bed par admit hui thi as a pregnant woman.

Main bahot royi thi jab aakhri din ko Shweta ko chorr kar wapas ghar ana pada tha…. ussko chorrne ko mann nahin kar raha tha, ussko doodh pilaayi thi main ne ek saal tak…. Bahot khubsuirat bachi ho gayi thi uss ek saal mein, ji karta tha ussko apne goad mein utha kar bhaag jaun magar police case hoti to main to usski maa nahin thi legally…. Legally to meri chachi Shweta ki maa aur mera chacha Shweta ki legal father tha!!

Main ghar wapas aayi… mahinon tak roti rahi, phir kayi mahine baad chachi Shweta ko lekar aayi mujhe dikhane aur mujhe usske saath khlne ko dene ke liye…… aur jab wapas jaane lagi to Shweta khud rone lagi, mere saath rehna chahti tji… mera kaleja fatt raha tha Abhi meri bachi ko koyi aur legayi aur main kuch nahin kar paayi…..”

Update 63 Abhi Very Angry With Shweta​

Main ghar wapas aayi… mahinon tak roti rahi, phir kayi mahine baad chachi Shweta ko lekar aayi mujhe dikhane aur mujhe usske saath khlne ko dene ke liye…… aur jab wapas jaane lagi to Shweta khud rone lagi, mere saath rehna chahti tji… mera kaleja fatt raha tha Abhi meri bachi ko koyi aur legayi aur main kuch nahin kar paayi…..”

Ab Aguey….

Abhi apne full taaqat se Ruhi ko baahon mein bharke ussko tassali deta raha kaafi der tak; Ruhi ke gaal sehlata raha, usski peeth thapthapata raha, ussko caress karta raha…. Aur Ruhi ne kaha,

“Barson baad aaj koyi mujhe iss tarah se comfort kar raha hai, mera gaal sehla raha hai, mera peeth thapthapa raha hai…. Abhi ab aap jao, Navina aap ka wait kar rahi hogi nah!!”

Abhi ko uss waqt ab jaane ko mann nahin kar raha tha magar ussko jaana tha, aur nikla wahan se Ruhi se vada karke ke kal phir aega, diaries ke saath, Ruhi ne kaha ke haan ussko kissi bhi keemat pe wo padhni hai.

Abhi Navina ko lene nahin gaya. Ussko call kiya ke ussko koyi emergency hai iss liye Navina Taxi se ghar chali jaaye. Abhi gaya Shweta se milne. Shweta ko pehle phone karke puchha ke iss raat ko usski mummy night shift karti hai aur jawaab haan mein aya to Abhi ne kaha ke wo pahunch raha hai. Shweta khush hokar Abhi ka wait karne lagi. Aaj Abhi ghusse mein jaa raha tha Shweta se milne. Abhi ko Shweta se bahot saare sawaal karna tha.

Shweta ke ghar reach hote hi Abhi ne Shweta se kaha ke ussko bahot zaroori baatein karni hai akele mein, aur Aruhi ko apne kamre mein jaane ko kaha, magar Aruhi zid kar rahi thi ke wo Abhi ke saath rahegi. Pehli baar abhi Aruhi par chillaaya, wo dekh kar Shweta ko shock laga, Shweta Abhi ko hi observe kar rahi thi kyunke jab se wo aya tha bilkool abnormal lag raha tha….

Jab Aruhi apni kamre mein chali gayi upar to Abhi ne shweta ka haath pakar kar khinchte hue lounge mein legaya…. Shweta ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia ho raha tha, wo puchti rahi ke kia hua kuch to bolo, batao ke kia hua, magar Abhi khamosh tha aur ussko niche legaya aur lounge mein reach hue donon to Abhi ke khinch ke Shweta ko ek zor ka thapad mara usske chehre mein bahot gambhirta aur ghusse se dekhte hue…..

Shweta sofe par girr gayi uss thapad se aur usski honth ki ek hisse se khoon nikal pade….. Shweta royi nahin magar pucha,

“kia kiya main ne Abhi, kyun mara aap ne mujhe? Koyi ghalat faimi hui kia? Kia aap ne mujhe kissi ke saath dekha kahin kia? Shayad mera koyi dost hoga, colleague hoga, main ne aaj tak kissi mard ko apne paas nahin aane diya Abhi aap ke siwa….”

Abhi ne daant peeste hue kaha,

“Will you shut the fuck up bloody damn woman!!”

Shweta ki samajh mein nahin araha tha ke kia ho raha hai, Abhi ne kabhi aisa behave nahin kiya tha usske saath pichle 7 saalon mein, aur aaj pehli baar haath uthaya tha Shweta par to Shweta jaise bawkhla si gayi aur sawaali nazron se Abhi ko dekhti rahi, tab Abhi ne kaha,

“Ek hi thapad se khoon nikal aaye, tujhe to main 10/15 thapad maarne wala tha abhi!”

Shweta ne ashk bhare aankhon se pucha,

“Magar kyun Abhi? Kia kiya hai main ne? Aaj pehli baar mara aap ne mujhe, aap ne pichle 7 saal mujhse sirf pyar kiya hai, koyi baat nahin aaj mara bhi to, magar mera qusoor to batao nah!”

Abhi ne bade ghusse mein oonchi awaaz mein kaha,

“Main abhi Ruhi ke yahan se aa raha hoon Shweta!! 4 ghanton tak main usske saath tha…. ab samjhi? Ya kuch aur bataane ki zaroorat hai mujhe bolo?! Samajh gayi ab?!”

Shweta ne muhn kholte hue ek haath ko munh par rakha aur Abhi ko fix dekhti rahi iss intezaar mein ke Abhi ussko bataaye ke ussko kia pata chala Ruhi se….

Abhi hanff raha tha, thaka lag raha tha, baith gaya sofe par. Shweta uth kar usske paas aayi aur usske chehre par apne haath lagaate hue kuch kehne jaa rahi thi, magar Abhi ne usska haath jhatakte hue Shweta ko teerchi nazron se dekha….

Shweta Abhi se beinteha pyar karti thi, jitna Abhi ne Ruhi se kiya tha shayad uss se bhi ziada Shweta Abhi ko chahti thi, aur Shweta Abhi ko khona bilkool bhi nahin chahti thi, magar iss waqt Shweta ko haalaat kuch aisa lagne laga tha ke Abhi ko kho degi wo, aur Shweta bilkool nahin chahti thi ke aisa kuch ho….

Magar Abhi bhi to Shweta ko utna hi pyar karta tha, to ab kia karne wala tha Abhi?

Abhi ne thapad to maar diya tha Shweta ko magar pachtana bhi shuru kar diya tha ke Shweta ke komal chehre par itne zor se kyun maara ussne…

Abhi laachaar baitha tha sofe par aur Shweta dobara usske paas gayi, Abhi ke chehre par apne hatheli ko ferra aur apne sar ko Abhi ke seene se lagaa kar pucha,

“Naraz ho mujhse aap? Bahot naraaz ho? Meri vajah se aap ke dil ko choat pahuncha nah?!”

Abhi ne Shweta ko zor se baahon mein bhar liya, Shweta rone lagi, Abhi ke Aankhen bhar aaye magar wo roya nahin, sirf itna kaha,

“Tumko apni beti ki tarah paalta main, tumko aur tumhari maa donon ko apne ghar lekar jaata main, mere saath sirf Dulhan mere ghar nahin jaati, Dulhan aur usski beti bhi aati, tumse itna pyar karta tha jab tu itni si thi, sala meri taqdeer hi phooti hui thi ke jab chaha, jo chaha wo mila hi nahin, mila to zindagi ke aise mod par mila jab jiwan ki shaam hone lagi, andhera hone laga…. Ab milne se kia faeda jab kuch der baad andhera ho jaega zindagi mein!”

Shweta ne Abhi ke gaal chumte hue kaha,

“ssshhhh, aise nahin kehte, abhi to aap ko hamare sath aur bahot door tak chalna hai, aap himmat nah haaro, aap to bahot strong ho Abhi…. Maa ne aap se kia kaha?!”

Abhi: “Tum ussko maa kabse kehne lagi?

Shweta: “Bahot practice kiya tha, jab wo saamne hoti hai to ‘Ruhi di’ hi nikalta hai munh se…”

Abhi: “Ab hum donon ko hamesha ke liye alag ho jana chahiye Shweta, aisa nahin chal sakta…. Tum uss aurat ki beti ho jo aaj takdeer ne saat diya hota to meri patni hoti, uss lehaaz se tum meri beti hoti…. Nah, yeh ghalat hai…. Humare bich jo sambandh hai bilkool ghalat hai we get to stop this now!!”

Shweta ko issi baatka darr tha, yehi fikar thi, wo ghabra gayi yeh soch kar ke Abhi ussko ab chhhor dega…. Rone lagi aur rote hue kaha,

“Main ne aaj tak kissi bhi mard ko dekha bhi nahin, kitnon ne mere karib aane ki koshish kiye jab main ne divorce liya tha, kitnon ne mujhe propose kiya, main ne sab ko thukraya kyunke mujhe aap ki banke rehna tha…. main aur kissi ke baare mein soch bhi nahin sakti… aap mujh par yeh zulm mat kijiye, main kia karungi akeli? Mar jaungi aap ke baghair…. Aap Ruhi di se milna chaaho to milo, main nahin rokungi, aap uss se milo magar wapas phir mujhse bhi milne aana nah!!”

Abhi khada ho gaya jaane ke liye aur kaha,

“No, we have to ignore each other, tum bhool jana ke main kabhi exist bhi karta tha, get someone in your life and get settled, forget me now…. It’s a farewell Shweta!”

Abhi nikalne ke liye mudh gaya tha ke Shweta zameen par baith gayi aur Abhi ke donon paon pakar kar bilakte hue rone lagi aur zor zor se kehne lagi,

“mat chhorr ke jao mujhe aap, main aap ke baghair nahin reh paungi, hafte mein sirf ek baar hi to milte ho mujhse, ziada nahin mang rahi hoon aap se main, buss aap ki sakht zaroorat hai mujhe, aap meri zindagi ban chhuke ho Abhi mat jao please main paagal ho jaungi, kuch kar baithungi main, aap ke baghair main life ko sochti hi nahin….

”

Abhi ne apne tangon ko Shweta ke sameth ek do kadam aaguey khicha darwaze ke taraf chalte hue, bahot sakht tha Abhi uss waqt, aur nahin chahta tha ke Shweta ke sweet ya dard bhari baton ka uss pe koyi assar ho, wo darwaze tak aa chuka tha Shweta ko ghasitte hue, ke Aruhi ne apni maa ko zoron se rote hue sunkar stairs par chali aayi aur apni maa ko Abhi ke peyron mein dekh kar Aruhi ne zor se kaha,

“PAPAAAAAAAA, MAT JAO NAH MUMMY KO MAT RULAO KAHAN JAA RAHE HO AAP RUK JAO NAH PAPAAAAAA!!!!”

Abhi ko ek aur jhatka laga, Aruhi ne ussko kabhi bhi papa nahin bulaya tha pichle 7 saalon mein, aur Abhi ko wo nazara yaad aya jiss din wo Ruhi ko dhundte hue iss ghar mein aya tha tab Shweta ussi tarah se stairs se utarte hue usske paas arahi thi, bilkool wohi drisht tha, magar aaj Shweta ki jagah par Aruhi khadi ussko papa bula rahi thi!!!

Abhi ka dil pighal gaya aaj usski life mein pehli baar kissi ne ussko papa bulaya tha, Abhi ke aanken bhar aaye aur jhapat ke Aruhi ko apne goad mein lekar ussko chumban se nehla diye Shweta ke chedhre mein dekhte hue….. Shweta khadi ho gayi aur donon ko dekhti rahi…. Abhi ne Shweta se pucha,

“kia tumne issko mujhe papa bulaane ko seekhaya hai?!”

Shweta: “bilkool bhi nahin main khud heyraan reh gayi ussko sunkar!”

Abhi ko ab Aruhi mein wohi cute si Shweta dikh raha tha, ussko hamesha ek beti chahiye tha aur aaj itni cute si Aruhi ne ussko papa bulaya iss se Abhi ko jitni Khushi hui usska ussko bilkool bhi umeed nahin thi….

Abhi ne Aruhi ko baahon mein bharke chumte hue usske aansoowon ko poncha aur pucha,

“mujhe tumne papa kyun bulaya aaj baby?!”

Aruhi: “to aap mere papa ho nah? aap kyun hamare saath nahin rehte aur ek hi din ko kuch der ke liye hi aate ho? mummy akeli rehti hai, mujhe darr lagti hai, papa aap sath hote ho tab mujhe darr nahin lagta. Mummy ko akeli mat chorro please papa!”

Abhi rone laga Aruhi ko seene se chipkaate hue, Aur Shweta ko ek haath se apne paas kiya aur ussko bhi seene se laga liya usski maatha chhumte hue.

Update 64 Abhi Handled The Matter​

Aruhi: “to aap mere papa ho nah? aap kyun hamare saath nahin rehte aur ek hi din ko kuch der ke liye hi aate ho? mummy akeli rehti hai, mujhe darr lagti hai, papa aap sath hote ho tab mujhe darr nahin lagta. Mummy ko akeli mat chorro please papa!”

Abhi rone laga Aruhi ko seene se chipkaate hue, Aur Shweta ko ek haath se apne paas kiya aur ussko bhi seene se laga liya usski maatha chhumte hue.

Ab AAguey…

Kahan Abhi aya tha Rishta todne yahan ek naya Rishta ban gaya Aruhi ke saath. Abhi ab sach mein phanss gaya tha.

Abhi Aruhi ko sula kar, phir niche lounge mein gaya, Shweta usske piche gayi aur donon sofe par baithe. Shweta ka sar Abhi ke seene par tha aur Abhi soch mein dooba hua tha.

Khamoshi todte hue Shweta ne pucha,

“Kia aap sach mein hamesha ke liye mujhe chorr kar jaa rahe the?”

Abhi ne apne chehre par haath malte hue kaha,

“Socha to wohi karne ko tha, magar yeh bilkool nahin socha tha ke ek naya Rishta ban jaega yahan! Yaar ussne mujhe papa kaise keh diya? Samajh mein nahin araha mujhe!”

Shweta: “magar mere samjh mein agaya”

Abhi: “kia? Kyun Aruhi ne papa kaha mujhe?!”

Shweta: “Abhi kia ussne kabhi apne papa ko dekha hai? Nahin nah? kissko dekha ussne apne saamne hosh sambhaalte hue? Sirf aap ko dekha hai baby thi tabse… jinn dinon wo mere kamre mein soti thi aur aap mere saath mere bed par rehte the to usko pata hota tha nah? To kia samjhegi wo? Yehi nah ke main aur aap husband wife hein? To aap ko papa hi to samjhegi nah?!”

Abhi: “ussne kabhi tumse pucha ke main kyun nahin rehta hoon har roz ghar mein?!”

Shweta: “nahin kabhi nahin pucha ussne magar aap ko ek chiz dikhati hoon wait!”

Shweta ne Aruhi ki drawings mein se ek page dikhaya Abhi ko jiss mein ek cartoon jaisa kuch tha magar uss par Aruhi ne likha tha – “mere papa door kaam karte hein wo kayi dinon tak ghar nahin ate, aate hein to jaldi chale jaate, pata nahin kaun sa kaam karte hein mere papa!”

Abhi ne bhare hue aankhon se padha aur aur Shweta ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Wo samajhti hai ke main usska papa hoon aur kahin door kaam par chala jaata hoon!! Oh God, poor baby!”

Shweta ne phir Abhi ke seene se lagte hue pucha,

“Ruhi di ne aap ko kia bataya? Batao mujhe please!”

Abhi: “yehi ke tum usski beti ho! aur kia batayegi?!”

Shweta: “Aur aap iss liye mujhe chorr dena chahte the kyunke wo meri maa hai? Abhi wo aap ki patni to nahin nah to main aap ki beti bhi nahin to aap ko kiss baat ka darr hai hamare rishte ko lekar?!”

Abhi: “Shweta, tum usski beti ho jiss aurat se main behad pyar karta hoon…. Aur uss waqt agar meri shaadi usske saath ho gayi hoti to tum meri beti hi hoti nah?!”

Shweta: “Aur aap samajhte ho ke agar 1986 mein aap ki uss se shaadi ho gayi hoti to kia aap ko pata chal gaya hota ke main uski beti hoon? Tab bhi aap mujhko usski cousin sister hi samajhte, kyunke mujhko to 18 saal hone ke baad pata chala, main bhi to ussko cousin hi samajhti rahi thi 18 saal tak”

Abhi: “Shweta, agar meri uss se shaadi hoti to shaadi se pehle wo mujhe bata deti ke tum usski beti ho…. aur tab main kisi kimat par tumko apne saath lejata apne ghar apni beti bana kar!”

Shweta: “aap weisa nahin kar paate Abhi. Legally main Ruhi di ki beti hoon hi nahin, mera birth certificate par meri mummy yeh hai, yahan ki nurse, aur usska husband mera baap hai, to aap mujhe kaise apne saath lejaate? Kabhi nahin lejaa paate aap mujhe, main yahin rehti, kanoonan main yahan iss ghar ki beti hoon aur iss aurat ne mujhe janam diya hai Ruhi di ne nahin!”

Abhi chhup ho gaya kyunke Shweta sahi keh rahi thi.

Tab Shweta ne kaha,

“Aap ko mujh mein apni beti dikhta hai kia? Main aap ki beti to nahin nah? Aap mere pita to nahin? Hamara khoon ka Rishta hai hi nahin, aur aap ne meri maa se shadi bhi to kiya nahin to kyun aap ko fikar hai hamare rishte se Abhi?”

Abhi: “Aur kal ko agar main Ruhi se shaadi kar lun to?! Tab kia hoga?!”

Shweta: “Mera aur aap ka sambandh, jimson wala Ruhi se aap ka wapas milne se pehle start hui hai nah? To priority mera pehle banta hai uss lehaaz se, sahi hai nah? to phir?”

Abhi: “Shweta tum mujhe baton mein mat uljhao….. pata hai teacher ho, ek mere ghar par hai ek yahan, meri kismat mein teacher hi pade hue hein kia yaar!! Lecture dene lag jaate hein!!”

Shweta: “Hihihihihihihi , lecture nahin de rahi buss aise hi bol rahi hoon main… Acha chalo aap mujhe yeh batao kia aap Ruhi di se shaadi karne ka soch rahe ho? kia uss se shaadi karoge? Agar haan to mujhse kyun shaadi nahin kiya pichle 7 saalon mein hmmm?”

Abhi: “Nahin Shweta main chaah kar bhi Ruhi se shaadi kabhi nahin kar sakta, kyunke main Navina ko kabhi bhi dukh nahin de sakta. Navina ke hote hue main kabhi bhi kissi aur se shaadi karunga hi nahin, issi liye tumse nahin kiya nah!”

Shweta: “Here you go Abhi! Mujhe pata hai. Mujhe achchi tarah se pata hai ke Navina maam ke hote aap nahin karoge shadi Ruhi di se, aur issi liye main ne pichle 7 saalon mein aap ko mujhse shaadi ke liye nahin kaha, aise hi main khush hoon aap se, buss aap mere dil mein ho aur hum donon khush hein nah? haffte mein ek baar hi sahi mujhse milte ho, hum khush rehte hein , Aruhi ko affection milta hai ab baap wala pyar bhi milega usse, we are all three happy aur kia chahiye Abhi?!

Abhi: “Aur socha hai kabhi, agar kissi tarah kabhi Ruhi ko pata chala ke tum aur main ek saath hein? Main tumhare bistar par sota hoon, hum saath raat guzaarte hein pichle 7 saalon se tab kia hoga? Isske baare mein socha hai kabhi Shwetu?”

Shweta: “Abhi pichle 7 saalon mein Navina maam ko pata nahin chala to Ruhi di ko kaise pata chalega kabhi? Hum kitne precautions lete hein? Hum kitni saavdhaani barakte hein milne se pehle? Aur phir Ruhi di to kabhi kahin aati jaati bhi nahin to ussko kaise kabhi pata chalega Abhi?”

Abhi: “Agar kissi din aisa hua hum sab saath hue aur Aruhi ne mujhe usske samne papa bulaya to?!”

Yeh sun kar Shweta ko garam feel hua aur usske maathe par kuch pasine ki boondein nazar aaye.Tab Shweta ne kaha,

“Issi liye to main udhar jaati hi nahin kayi saal ho gaye uss se mili bhi nahin main! To ab hum sab kyun ek saath honge?!”

Abhi: “Tum apni maa ko bahot ghalat samajhti ho Shweta. Tumko pata bhi hai uss par kia guzri thi jab wo tumhare liye pregnant thi? Tumko pata bhi hai kinn haalaaton se guzri thi wo? Agar aaj Ruhi ki zindagi nark bani hai to sirf tumhaare ane se bani hai. Tumko janam dene ke liye ussko yahan aakar der saal rehna pada, tumko ek saal tak apnaa doodh pilaya, tumko chorr kar jaa rahi thi to tumko lekar bhaag jaane ka mann kiya tha usse….

Usske dil ke tukde ho gaye the tumse juda hote hue…. Ussne tumko janam diya magar maa koyi aur kehlaayi, ussne tumhare liye dukh jhele, apni parents ke nazar mein girr gayi, sab ke saamne guilty feel kiya… tumko anathalay, ya church, mandir, masjid ke saamne feinkne ko kaha gaya tha magar tumko apne chachi ko dekar tumhari life behtareen bahaayi ussne… tum usski life ki ek ghalati thi…. Ek bhool thi jo usski teenage mein ho gaya tha uss se jisska ussko pata bhi nahin chala ke kab kaise kia hua tha…..

Uss ek galati ki vajah se wo mujhse bhi pyar karte hue bhi jawani mein mujhse door hui kyunke usske parents ne uss se kaha ke jab Abhi ko pata chalega ke tu ek bachi ki maa hai to tujhko bad chalan samjhega… tujhse nafrat karega…. Iss liye wo mujhse bhi door hui, aur aaj tak door rahi kissi ko bhi nahin apna saki kyunke tu ghalati thi usski life ki…..

Qurbaaniyan di hai ussne apni puri life ki Shweta tumhare liye, tumhare khaatir aaj tak akeli hai Ruhi aur tu uss maa se badla le rahi thi? Mujhko apna kar tu uss se badla le rahi thi ke ussne tujhko maa ka pyar nahin diya? Tumko aisi maa ki charnon ko dhokar paani pina chahiye Shweta…. Ek misaal hai tumhari maa, uss se maafi mangni hogi tujhe aur usske pas wapas jaana hoga!”

Abhi ke baton ko sunkar Shweta fut fut kar rone lagi, phir shaant hone ke baad kaha,

“Abhi agar usske paas gayi to Aruhi ko bhi lejana papdega aur tab hum sab ek saath ek din mil jayenge aur tab hamare baare mein ussko pata chal jaega….. nahin Abhi mujhe uss se door hi rehne do nah tab hum donon hamesha saath reh sakte hein…”

Abhi: “Aisa kuch nahin hoga main ne soch liya hai sab kaise sambhaalna hai. Main khud tumko aur Aruhi ko saath lekar usske yahan jaunga kissi din… sab thik hoga dekh lena…. I have planned everything sweetheart. Abhi abhi dimaagh mein sab plan kiya main ne….”

Shweta ne heyraan hote hue Abhi ko ghaur se dekha aur kaha,

“What? Abhi kia keh rahe ho aap? Ussko sab pata chal jaega, aur Aruhi to ussko yeh kahegi ke aap usske papa ho aur tab kia jawaab doge aap ussko? Very bad idea Abhi, no this must not happen at all! Kahin aap ussko bataane wale to nahin ke hamara kia Rishta hai Abhi?”

Abhi: ”You don’t worry kuch ghalat ya bura nahin hoga, aur nahin ussko hamare bare mein koyi bhi shak nahin hoga, main sab sambhaal lunga, main sab sahi se plan karne ke baad tumko wahan lekar jaunga. Kuch nahin hoga don’t worry.

”

Shweta: “Abhi hamara Rishta to nahin affect hoga nah? hum donon mein jaisa chal raha hai aisa hi chalta rahega nah my love? Agar aap se main bichdi to mar jaungi keh deti hoon main, main aapke baghair adhuri feel karti hoon, mujhe aap ke sath sukoon milti hai main khush rehti hoon, main araam se jeeti hoon kyunke mujhe pata hai mera koyi hai aur wo aap ho, to pehle aap promise karo ke aap aise hi mera rahoge, aur hum donon ka Rishta bilkool affect nahin hoga tab main chalungi aap ke saath wahan varna main nahin jaane wali uss se milne!”

Abhi ne Shweta ko zor se apne seene se chipkaate hue kaha,

“Are meri baby kyun fikar karti ho? kuch nahin hoga aur haan hum donon aise hi rahenge, aise hi milenge aur Ruhi ko kuch pata nahin chalega hamare rishte ke baare mein okay? I promise.”

Shweta: “Aur agar Aruhi ne aap ko papa bulaya wahan sabke saamne to?!”

Abhi: “Main khud sabko bataunga ke Aruhi meri beti hai!”

Shweta: “What? Oh My God! Aap wahan sabko bataane jaa rahe ho ke hamara sambandh hai Abhi?”

Update 65 Abhi And Navina​

Uss raat ko Abhi wahan se nikla ghar jaane ko. Shweta ne dinner karke wapas jaane ke liye kaha magar Abhi ne bataya ke Ruhi ke yahan dinner refuse kiya, Navina ko lene jaana tha nahin gaya ab at least usske saath dinner to karna hai ussko. Phir Shweta ne pucha ke kaise achanak Ruhi ke yahan jaane ko decide kiya, aur Abhi ne bata diya ke Mahesh mila tha to ussne bataya ke Ruhi ne saalon pehle se ussko bulaya tha milne ke liye.

AT HOME.

Jab Abhi ghar pahuncha to Navina ne dinner already tayaar kar diya tha aur Abhi ke kapde jo nahane ke baad pehentta hai sab ready rakh diye the aur usska wait kar rahi thi.

Garage mein car rakhne ke baad Abhi ghar mein aya to Navina ne muskuraate hue ussko receive kiya ussko underarms hold karke lounge mein walk karte hue, aur kaha,

“My sweet husband ko kaun si emergency agaye the ke apni wife ko aaj lene nahin aa sake hmmm?”

Abhi ne Navina ko zor se baahon mein bharke apne saamne kiya, zor se hug karte hue usske donon gaalon par kiss kiya aur usske chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“dinner karte waqt sab batata hoon okay?!”

Navina: “Okay, agree, main ne aap ke kapde rakh diye hein hanger par, aap ka wait karungi tab tak dinner serve karti hoon thik hai…”

Abhi bathroom ke taraf badhne lage the ke Navina ne awaaz ko thodi oonchi karte hue kaha,

“Shweta ke paas nahin gaye the aap? Kaafi dinon se aap ne kuch nahin bataya usske baare mein? Kahin ussi ke yahan koyi emergency to nahin the nah?!”

Abhi ko shock laga Navina ke baton ko sunkar aur badbadaya,

“Sala kissi ko ek lecturer se shaadi nahin karni chahiye, suna aap logon ne? Detective se bhi ziada bada dimaagh hote hein lecturers ke paas, lagta hai koyi camera chipka hua hai mere pichu mein jo sab recorded hai aur wo dekh leti hai main kab kahan jaata hoon !!”

Nahane ke baad Abhi aur Navina dinner kar rahe the. Abhi tukur tukur dekhe jaa raha tha Navina ko jaise kuch guilty feel karte hue, to Navina ne kaha,

“Guilty feel karne ki koyi zaroorat nahin hai husband ji bata do Shweta ke yahan kia hua, mujhe pata hai aap ussi ke paas the. Pichle 7 saalon se aap ko jitna khush dekh rahi hoon kabhi nahin dekha pehle, Shweta se milne ke baad aap ka noorani chehra bahot hi ziada chamakne lage hein, to bataiye kia hogaya tha aaj Shweta ke yahan? Kuch bura to nahin hua nah kyunke jab aap aaye to chehre mein thoda fikar dikha mujhe, so now tell me what happened!”

Abhi ne ek roti todte hue usske chehre mein dekha aur curry uthate hue roti se aur niwala munh tak laate hue Abhi ne kaha,

“kuch bhi to nahin everything is fine, magar tumko kaise pata ke main Shweta hi ke yahan tha? Spy kar rahi ho kia mujhe tum?!”

Shweta ne bhi ek niwala lete hue kaha,

“Ahaha aap ko spy karne ki zaroorat hi nahin aap sab khud bak dete ho, aaj nahin to kal sab bata doge aur aap ka chehra khud ek camera bhi hai aur screen bhi, sab keh jaate hein mujhe.”

Abhi: “kamaal hai yaar tumko CBI mein hona chahiye tha, agar mere chehre se main itna kuch bata deta hoon to agar main ne khoon kiya hota ya daaka dala hota to kabhi bhi bach nahin paata main to!”

Navina ne zor se hansste hue kaha,

“hahahahaha aap daaka dalenge hi kyun ek Ruhi jaisi ladki ko nahin bhaga sake to aap kyun daaka daalne lage husband ji?”

Abhi rock silent ho gaya yeh sunkar aur Navina ko laga ke ussne ghalat baat keh diya, to jeeb ko daanton mein dabaate hue Navina ne donon kaan pakre aur Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue kaha,

“ooopppssss sorry I did not mean it in that way kuch aur kehna chahti thi, please forgive me Abhi!”

Abhi ne tab roti wapas khaate hue kaha,

“kuch bhi ghalat nahin kaha tumne wife ji. Sach hai mera chehra sab dikhaa deta hai magar sabko nahin unnko jo mere kareeb hai….”

Navina: “Aap dil ke bahot saaf ho Abhi issi liye mujhe aap ke chehre se bahot kuch pata chal jaata hai, agar aap hypocrite hote tab nahin pata chalta mujhe….. aap ne last 7 years mein Shweta se milne ke baad jitney baar ghar late aaye aur jitni baar bich raat mein ghar se nikle garage jaane ke bahane mujhe sab pata hota tha ke aap Shweta ke paas hi jaate the. Hai nah Abhi….. aap ka affair chal raha hai nah usske saath? Hmm??!”

Abhi ko itna bada jhatka laga ke usska niwala atakk gaya aur khanssne laga Navina ki baat sun kar!! Jaldi se paani ka glass diya ussko Navina ne aur uth kar usska peeth sehlaya. Abhi sar utha kar Navina ke chehre mein dekhta raha….. Navina wapas apni seat par baithi aur Abhi ko khaane ka ishara kiya hansste hue.

Abhi chhup raha kuch der aur Navina ne kaha,

“Aap jitna unlucky the apne twenties mein utna hi lucky hote gaye jaise jaise aap ka umar badhta gaya lakdiyon ke maamle mein aap ne yeh note kiya hai kabhi kia?”

Abhi ne Navina ke chehre mein dekhte hue bhola bante hue kaha,

“Ofo ab tum yeh kia baat lekar baith gayi yaar dinner to complete karo nah!!”

Navina: “Okay dinner ke baad baat karti hoon phir thik hai nah?!”

Abhi ne ek chothe bache ki tarah pakre jaane ke baad nazrein churaate hue haan mein sar hillaya!”

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

Raat karib barah baj rahe the. Abhi aur Navina donon sofe par baithe the lounge mein, Navina ka sar Abhi ke chest par tha, wo apni nighty mein thi, aur Abhi ke gardan ko chumte hue Navina ne kaha,

“Aap ko kyun lucky kaha main ne samjhe aap?”

Abhi innocent bante hue, Navina ke baalon mein ungliyan ferrte hue kaha,

“pata nahin tum kuch bhi kehti rehti ho!”

Navina: “Abhi I am not a stupid my dear husband, haan baat yeh hai ke main aap ko full liberty de deti hoon, kyunke mujhe pata hai ke main aap ke liye wo nahin hoon jo aap ko chahiye tha… magar aap se wo emotional attachment ho gayi hai aap ke saath rehte rehte ke aap se door nahin ho sakti, aur mujhe achhi tarah se pata hai ke aap ko bhi mujhse utna hi emotional attachment hai ke aap bhi mujhko kabhi chorr nahin sakte aur door bhi nahin ho sakte, aap mera itna care karte ho yehi enough hai prove karne ke liye…..”

Abhi ne sirf itna kaha,

“SO? Kia matlab?!”

Navina: “Abhi raat ko barah baje ghar se nikalna jab Shweta se mile, usske baad aksar raat ko weise jaana aur subha 4 baje wapas aana, aap ke badan mein Shweta ki khubhoo ka aana, kia aap samajhte ho mujhe nahin pata ke raat raat ko aap usski bed par so kar wapas aate the? Main ek aurat hoon, aap ki bed par soti hoon, aap ki jism ki khusbhoo pehchaanti hoon ab uss khushbhoo mein ek female ki khushbhoo mix hogi to kia mujhko khabar nahin hogi Abhi? 7 saal pehle se jaanti hoon Abhi… magar kia stud ho aap, usske bawajud mujhse bhi sexual relationship barabar jaari rakha aap ne… do do ko sexualy please kar dete ho, hmmmm strong man Abhi data deti hoon yessssss!”

Abhi ka chehra bilkool laal ho gaya tha aur pasine tapakne lage the usske maathe se jissko Navina ne hi poncha, phir kaha;

“Aap ko lucky iss liye kaha ke aap ko jo maa se nahin mili wo usski beti se mil gaya aap ko, how lucky man!”

Abhi se ab bardaasht nahi hua, wo khada ho gaya aur saare lights ko on kiya lounge mein aur serious hokar Navina ko gambhirta se dekhte hue pucha;

“Tell me now, sach batao, aur kia kia jaanti ho aur kaise? Kissko pay kar rahi ho mujhko spy karne ke liye? Kaun hai jo saari khabrein deta hai tumko? Photos bhi liye honge show them to me fast, fast, mujhko ghussa mat dilao Navina main kuch bura bhi kar sakta hoon!!”

Navina bhi khadi ho gayi aur kaha,

“Are why should I pay someone to follow you? Baat saaf hai nah? Aap ne apne diary mein sab likha hua hai? Aap bhool jaate ho ke ab aap akele nahin rehte, aap ki diaries main bhi padhti hoon, ab Naina nahin padhti to main padh leti hoon nah? iss mein kia hai ek wife apni husband ki diary to padh sakti hai nah Abhi? Jiss raat wapas aakar aap ne likha tha ke aap ko Shweta ki badan se wohi Khushboo aya itne saalon ke baad jo aap ko Ruhi ki jism se aate the to main samajh gayi ke wo pakka Ruhi ki beti hai…. Aap nahin samajh rahe the magar mujhe pakka yakeen tha… I bet ek din aap ko sach ka pata zaroor chalega ke Shweta Ruhi ki beti hai, magar main samajh nahin paa rahi hoon ke 7 saalon tak aap ko kyun Shweta ne nahin bataya ke wo Ruhi ki beti hai?!! Aap ke umr mein ek young, beautiful and hot aurat ke saath bed par waqt bitana kitna acha lagta hoga aap ko main samajh sakti hoon, aap lucky nahin to aur kia ho Abhi? Great lucky man!

Main aap ko ussi din batana chahti thi jiss din aap ne likha tha ke aap ko Shweta ki jism ke curves bhi bilkool Ruhi ki jism jaisa feel hota hai usski pasine ki khubhoo Ruhi jaisi mehekti hai, main tabhi aap se kehne wali thi ke wo zaroor Ruhi ki beti hai aap ko uss se puchna chahiye magar main ne kuch nahin kaha kyunke main aap ko dukh nahin dena chahta tha, main aap ko khush dekhna chahti hoon Abhi…. Main aap se ladaayi nahin kar rahi, main aap ko freedom deti hoom kisi se bhi sexual relationship mein rehne ke liye main ne pehle bhi kaha tha nah? But my place remains my place in this house buss mujhe aur kuch nahin chahiye aap ke dil mein aur iss ghar mein meri jagah… mujhe aap se door nahin hona aap chahe to aur 10 logon se hi kyun nah sex karo… It does not bother me at all! UNDERSTOOD HUBBY JI??!!!”

Sab sunne ke baad Abhi jaise thak gaya aur sofe par leyt gaya aur kaha,

“please mera sar daba do nah!”

Navina ne zorr se hansste hue usske sar dabana shuru kiya…

Update 66 Abhi Gives The Diaries To Ruhi​

Abhi ne uss mauke ka faeda uthaate hue Navina se kaha ke wo Aruhi ko adopt karna chahta hai legally. Aur Abhi ne wo emotional moment sunaya Navina ko, ke kiss tarah se Aruhi ne ussko papa bulaya aur kaise wo Abhi ko apna papa samajhti hai.

Iss baat se Navina bahot khush hui kyunke bacha to ussko bhi chahiye tha aur ussko pata tha ke Abhi ko ek baby girl ki kitni chahat thi.

Magar Navina ne pucha ke agar Shweta ki bachi hai to Aruhi hamare saath kaise rahegi. Abhi ne samjhaya ke Aruhi donon gar mein rahegi, hamaare saath bhi aur apni maa ke saath bhi, wo inn donon gharon mein batt ke rahegi. Ussko Abhi, Navina aur Shweta ka pyar bhi milega aur Ruhi, usski nani ki bhi, balke kabhi wahan bhi rahegi apni nani ke saath.

Navina samajh gayi aur apni razamandi de diya, kyunke Navina Abhi ki Khushi chahti thi. Aur phir jiss aurat ki aulad nahin wo kyun khush nahin hogi ek beti paakar.

Next day Abhi gaya Ruhi ke yahan apni diaries lekar.

Wo diaries jo rahima ke ghar chorra tha 25 saal pehle aur jo Mehbob ne usse wapas kiya tha aur wapas karte waqt Mehbbob ne uss se kaha tha ke agar kuch Ruhi ko dena hai to Ruhi ke ghar jaa kar dena usske ghar nahin.

Aur aaj jab Abhi apna Mercedes reverse mein Ruhi ke bhai Mahesh ke ghar ke side mein park kar raha tha tabhi Mehboob paidal apne ghar se nikal kar, main road ke taraf aa raha tha aur car ko reverse hote dekh kar ruk gaya tha. Mehbob ki umar ab 70 saal ka tha aur saare baal safed the, safed daadhi bhi rakha hua tha aur usske sar par ek safed topi tha. Abhi uskso nahin pehchaanta agar ussko apne ghar se nikalte nahin dekhta.

Thik jab Mehboob Abhi ke car ke paas reach hua, chalte hue tabhi Abhi apni Mercedes se nikla, thik Mehboob ke saamne aur kaha,

“Are Mehboob bhai abhi tak Zinda ho aap? Main to socha aap tapak gaye honge!”

Mehboob ne bade aadar se thoda jhuk kar Abhi se haath milaya kyunke ek Mercedes se koyi nikla to ussko laga koyi bada hasti to hoga iss liye izat se jhuk kar thoda muskuraate hue kaha,

“Kia hum ek dusre ko jaante hein bhai?!”

Abhi ke haath mein wohi lifafa tha, 25 saal purana, jaan bujh kar usske lifafe ko change nahin kiya tha, kyunke wo chahta tha Ruhi ussi lifafe ko haath mein pakre, aur ussi 25 saal purane diaries ko padhe jisske kuch panne ab alag bhi ho rahe the…. To Abhi ne Mehboob ko wo lifafa dikhaate hue kaha,

“Issko bhi dekh kar kuch yaad nahin aya Mehboob? Yeh wohi lifafa hai jo 25 saal pehle tumne mujhko wapas kiya tha iss mein wohi diaries hein jo tumne Ruhi se chhiin kar mujhe wapas kiya tha aur kaha tha ke mujhe Ruhi ko agar kuch dena hai to main ussko doon tumhare ghar nahin chorrun…..! To aaj de raha hoon ukhaad lena jo ukhaad sakta hai ab madarchod!”

Mehboob ne apni hypocrisy wale muskurahat se kaha,

“Are Abhi tum ho!! Tabhi to kahun chehra jaana pehchana sa lag raha hai, are bhai 25 saal puarne baton par kia ghusa karna yaar bhool jao unn baton ko!”

Abhi ko itna ghusa araha tha sab unn dinon ke wakiyaat ko yaad karte hue ke usska man kar raha tha khinch kar Mehbob ko ekaat ghunssa maare, to kaha,

“Tere gaand mein itne laat maarne ko mann kar raha hai abhi ke kia bataun….. sala budha ho gaya hai, agar main ne tere pe haath uthaya to log kahenge ke budhe aadmi ko maar raha hoon, chal jaa be chutiye, mardon mein ek randi hai tu!!”

Kyunke Abhi ko ghussa aya tha to awaaz ooncha karke bol raha tha, aur Ruhi ko wahan aane se pehle message kar diya tha iss liye Ruhi darwaze ke paas aa chuki thi, darwaza khol diya tha jiss waqt Abhi reverse car park kar raha tha, to ussne sab dekha aur suna, aur udhar se Ruhi ki maa aur baap ne bhi sab dekha aur suna jiss waqt Abhi Mehboob se wo sab suna raha tha….

Jab Mehboob aaguey badh gaya to Abhi ne Ruhi ke maa ki taraf dekha aur lifafa dikhaate hue aur bhi buland awaaz mein kaha,

“Dekh lo, issko chhina tha aap ne Ruhi ke haath se 25 Saal pehle nah? Ussko padhne nahin diya tha nah? Aaj wapas de raha hoon usse yehi padhne ko dum hai to aakar iss baar chhinaa tab aap ko bhi dikhaunga ke main kia bala hoon!!”

Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,

“Are Abhi beta kyun purane baton ko yaad kar rahe ho bhool jao nah wo sab!”

Abhi ne jawaab ussi buland awaz mein diya,

“Awwal to aap ko mujhe beta kehna ka koyi haq hi nahin, phir bhool jaun? Hargiz nahin, mere liye sab ab bhi weise hi hein jaise 25 saal pehle the, sirf yeh aangan aur aap ka ghar badla hai, aap badle ho aap ke joru ka ghulaam pati badla hai Abhi nahin badla, usska dil nahin badla, Ruhi nahin badli, Ruhi ka dil nahin badla hai budhya, khabardaar agar mere aur Ruhi ke bich aane ki bhi koshish ki to, jala ke raakh kar dunga – aur sunon main jab bhi iss aangan mein aaun to door rehiyo, nazar bhi mat aaiyo varna kuch kar baithunga, mera khoon khaulta tum jaise kidon makodon ko dekhta hoon to!”

Tab tak Wheelchair par baithi Ruhi ne oonchi awaaz mein kaha,

“Abhi mat munh lago aise logon ke, bahot suna chuka hoon sab ko pichle 25 saalon mein main, aao nah kabse wait kar rahi hoon main!”

“Coming sweetheart” kehkar Abhi ne Ruhi ki maa ko tedhe nazar se dekhte hue Ruhi ke taraf gaya.

Andar jaate hi Abhi ne Ruhi ko wheelchair se goad mein uthaya, kiss kiya aur sofe par leytaya usske haath mein diaries wale lifafa dete hue.

Diaries ko lekar Ruhi apne seene se lagaate hue ro padi, aur jaldi se diaries ko nikala aur jaldi jaldi pannon ko ghumaate hue Abhi ki handwriting dekh kar aur bhi rone lagi… rone ke baad apne aank aur naak ponchte hue kaha,

“Aap ne issko 25 saalon tak sambhaal kar rakha hai Abhi? Jalaya nahin issko? Saare yaadein sameth kar rakha hua hai aap ne Abhi?!”

Abhi: “Tumko zinda rakha hai main ne inn diaries mein Ruhi, unn dinon ko quaid kiya hai main ne inn pannon mein, padhke dekho, tum wapas chali jaogi unn dinon mein…. Unn lamhon ko phir se dobara jiyogi, ek ek pal tumhare saamne aise ayenge ke tumko lagega sab kal hua tha, uss aangan ko dekh paogi iss mein jo yahan tha 25 saal pehle, tumhare unn donon taps ko dekh paogi, uss peyr ko dekhogi, tumhare uss washing stone ko dekhogi, khud ko kapde dhote hue dekhogi, mujhko jeeb se chidhaate hue dekhogi, hum donon ko ghar ke piche kiss karte hue dekhogi, mujhko tumhare uss lakdi ke khidki ke paas tumse baat karte hue dekh paogi, tumko kaise ek din uss khidki se baahar nikaal diya tha main ne wo bhi milega iss mein, mera seeti bajana sunogi iss mein, tumhara unssko sunne par aana dekhogi, Shweta ko bhi dekhogi… buss ko pal pal bante hue dekhogi, khud ko bagiche mein paogi gulaab todte hue, aur subha 6 baje mujhko aangan mein daakhil hote hue dekhogi, washroom se tumse ishare se batein karte hue dekhogi, Rahima ko hum donon ko ayn waqt par pakar lena dekhogi…. Tumne mujh par kitne sitam kiye the wo bhi dekhogi, main kitna tadpa tha wo bhi dekhogi, mera kia haal hua tha jab yahan se nikla tha 5th January ko wo bhi dekhogi…….

You will live those moments and days again……”

Sab sunte hue Ruhi zoron se rone lagi Abhi ko bahon mein bharke… Abhi bolte jaa raha tha, bolte jaa raha tha, chhup hi nahin ho raha tha aur Ruhi ne apne munh ko usske munh se laga kar ussko chhup karaya, kiss karte hue…..

Abhi ko kiss karte waqt ek baar Ruhi ne aankhen khola to dekha Abhi ke behte aansoo usske aankhon se hokar usske honthon tak aa gaye the tab ussko pata chala ke wo bolte hue khud Abhi bhi ro raha tha, saare dard ko baahar nikaal raha tha wo sab bolte hue…..

Phir Abhi ne kaha,

“Tumne kabhi bhi mere khaton ka jawaab nahin diya, kabhi likha hi nahin mujhko , aaj main chaahta hoon yeh sab padhne ke baad tum kuch likho, mujhe likhe hue kuch chahiye tumhare taraf se…..”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Zaroor likhungi Abhi, is baar zaroor likhungi, tum jitna to nahin likhungi magar zaroor isska jawaab dungi aap ko iss baar, it is high time I reply now!”

Abhi ne thanks kaha aur jaane ki ijazat liya. Ruhi hayraan hui aur kaha ke wo expect kar rahi thi ke Abhi usske saath sara din guzaarega. Magar Abhi ne kaha ke nahin ussko wo diaries bilkool akele mein padhni chahiye, aur phir jawaab bhi likhna hai ussko to do din baad ayega. Ruhi ko ussne do din diya sab padhkar jawaab likhne ke liye. Aur Abhi ne yeh kaha;

“Main do ya teen din baad jab aunga to ek bada surprise lekar aunga tumhare liye, tum bahot khush ho jaogi uss surprise se….”

Ruhi ne heyraan hote hue pucha,

“Ab kia surprise doge aap mujhe Abhi? Yeh kaafi hai mere liye!”

Abhi ne kaha,

“Dunya bhari hui hein surprises se, ek aur sahi… fikar rmat karo mujhe pata hai tum bahot khush ho jaogi!”

Aur Abhi wahan se nikla, aur seedhe gaya Shweta se milne, wo kaam par thi Abhi ne ussko leave lene ko kaha emergency bata kar aur Shweta ke saath jaa kar Aruhi ko bhi liya usske school se aur teenon kahin kissi important kaam ke liye gaye.

To be continued….

Update 67 Abhi, Shweta And Aruhi​

Abhi unn donon ke lekar ek lawyer se mila, Aruhi ko legally adopt karne ke liye….. magistrate se bhi milna pada chamber mein aur aakhir mein apne paison ke dum se Abhi ne kuch chakkar chalaaye jiss se kaam jitni jaldi ho sake kiya jaaye. Jawaab mila ke 10 ya 15 dinon mein legal adoption ke paper ban jayenge filhaal application bhar diya gaya….. Uss mein ek chhota sa problem yeh tha ke Aruhi ke asli pita doctor sahab ke signature bhi chahiyega kyunke wo alimony deta tha Abhi tak Aruhi ko, to jab Abhi ka adoption accept ho jaega usska alimony dena bandh ho jaega kaha gaya Abhi ko.

Abhi ne saara kaam lawyer ke haath mein chorr diya ussko tagda paisa de kar, ab wohi jaega uss doctor ke signs lene tab tak lawyer aur magistrate donon ne kaha ke abhi se hi Aruhi ko samajh liya jaye ke wo adopt kar chuka hai…. Paisa bolta hai bhai!!

Abhi bahot khush tha aur ab Aruhi ko khush karna chahta tha, Aruhi ko shikayat thi nah ke usska papa usske saath nahin rehta, kahin door kaam karta hai ghar kayi dinon baad aata hai, aur aata bhi hai to turant chala jata hai…. To Abhi ne Shweta aur Aruhi ko lekar ghumne gaya….

Jaane se pehle Abhi ne Aruhi ko goad mein lekar pucha,

“hmmm to ab bata papa ke saath aaj kahin ghumne chalegi?!”

Aruhi ne Abhi ke gaal par pappy dete hue kaha,

“yessss papa, aaj first time aap ke saath ghumne jaungi, varna sirf mamma lejaati hai mujhe!”

Abhi ne Aruhi ko chumte hue pucha,

“To bata kahan jaegi papa ki gudya!”

Aruhi: “seaside!”

Abhi: “seaside? Yeh bhi koyi ghumne ki jagah hai kia?!”

Aruhi: “haan hai nah, main swim karungi, sand castle banaungi, sand par walk karenge, bahut maza aega papa, sunset bhi dekhenge….”

Abhi ne socha tha jiss taraf Ruhi rehti hai uss taraf ke seaside jaega magar jab Aruhi ke kaha ke sunset dekhegi tab samjha ke west ke seaside jana hoga…..

Jab tak Abhi Aruhi ko uss tarah se goad mein lekar khelta batiyata raha, Shweta bade pyar se donon ko dekh rahi thi aur usski aankhen bhar aayi….

Abhi tab ek shop par ruka aur khudke liye Shweta aur Aruhi ke liye bhi swimming costumes kharide aur gaye drive karte hue west ki ek mashoor seaside par.

Car ke andar hi sab ne swimming costume badle aur seedhe samundar ke namkin paani mein teenon paaye gaye.

Shweta ko swimming aati thi to Abhi Aruhi ko swimming sikhaane laga….. Aruhi darr rahi thi, aur Abhi ussko apne haathon mein flat sulaakar haath peyr chalana seekhaya jaise swim karna seekhaate hein…. Ghanton bhar paani mein rahe teenon…. Aruhi bahot khush thi aur bahot hi enjoy kar rahi thi.

Shweta Abhi aur Aruhi ko pyar bhade nazron se dekhe jaa rahi rahi thi. Ussko bahot Khushi ho rahi thi ke Aruhi ko ek pita mil gaya aur kitni khush thi Aruhi… baar baar chilla rahi rahi “papa yeh papa wo, papa aise, papa mujhe swim karao…. Papa mujhe utha kar feinko paani mein…..”

Jab thand lagne lage, Aruhi thoda kaampne lagi tab Abhi ne paani se nikalne ko decide kiya aur ussne khud Aruhi ko paani se nikala apne goad mein uthakar aur ussko towel mein lapeta…. Shweta ko kuch karne ki zarorat hi nahin padi, Abhi ne hi Aruhi ko change kiya dusra dress pehnaya, jabke Shweta apni kapde change kar rahi thi….

Usske baad ab Aruhi ko sand castle banana tha to Abhi hi legaya ussko… aur bap beti milkar sand castle banaane lage…. Shweta khadi dekh rahi thi…..

Shweta jaan bujh kar donon ke beech nahin arahi thi… jitna Aruhi ko baap ki kami mehsoos hui thi pichle 7 saalon mein wo Abhi ek din mein pura kar raha tha aur Shweta ko itni Khushi ho rahi thi Aruhi ko utna khush dekh kar ke khud apni bachpan yaad karne lagi thi, ke ussko itna pyar nahin mila tha bilkool bachpan mein, jo usska baap bana tha ussko lagao hi nahin tha Shweta se, maa busy rehti thi kaam mein ussko nursery chorr diya jaat tha, din bhar nursery mein rehti, hosh sambhala to kindergarten mein rehti thi, shaam 5 baje ek van ussko ya to supermarket mein chorrta jahan se baap raat ko usse band karta tan Shweta ghar aati, maa to hospital mein rehti ya to raat bhar ya din bhar… Shweta ko nah maa ki nah baap ka pyar mila tha….

Issi liye Shweta Ruhi se itna naraaz thi aur jab ussko pata chala ke usski asli maa Ruhi thi to uss se issi vajah se ladaayi karke ussko chorr aayi thi, ke ussne ussko kisi aur ke ghar kyun chorra tha aur uskso maa baap ka pyar nahin naseeb hua.

Ussko bhi pyar aur sneh mila to Abhi se hi, bachpan mein bhi aur Jawaani mein bhi ussko sirf Abhi se hi sacha pyar mila tha, iss liye Shweta Abhi ko khona nahin chahti thi, aur ab Shweta ko pakka yakeen ho gaya tha ke ab Abhi uss se kabhi door ho hi nahin sakta kyunke ab Aruhi ke zarye Abhi hamesha ke liye usske paas bhi rahega. Shweta bhi bahot khush thi ke ab usski beti ke badaulat ussko Abhi mil gaya tha hamesha ke liye.

Ghanton bhar castle banaate tutte, phir banaane ke baad, Aruhi ne mobile se photos liye unn castles ki aur Abhi se khud ke pics nikalwaaye castles ke paas baith kar…. Usske baad donon sand walk ke liye nikle…. Kayi kilometres tak walk kiye teenon ne reth par nange paon…. Aur tab sunset dekhne ko baithe….

Kitna khubsurat hota hai suraj ko samundar mein doobki lagaate hue dekhna issko describe karne ki zaroorat to nahin sab ne dekha hi hoga…. Bahot saare photos liye Abhi ne uss dhalte suraj ki. Ahiste ahiste suraj ka rang laal hota gaya aur jab aakhri hissa reh gaya to usski khubsurti aur bhi badhti gayi door se lagta tha samundar mein door aag lagi hui hai….

Abhi ne tab Navina ko phone kiya, aaj usski University ka course nahin tha to navina 3.30 ko ghar aajati hai unn dinon…. Abhi ne Navina se kaha ke wo Shweta aur Aruhi ko ghar laa raha hai wahin dinner karenge donon. Navina bhi khush hui kyunke wo Aruhi se milna chahti thi…. Aur beshak Shweta se bhi.

Ab Shweta ko ajib lag raha tha wo nahin jana chahti thi… magar Abhi ne ussko samjhaya ke jana to padega aur ab aksar aisa hota rahega, kabhi Aruhi usske saath usske ghar par rahega, Navina ko bhi bache ka pyar chahiye….. tab Shweta samjhi aur agree kiya jaane ke liye apni lecturer ke paas.

Abhi ne Shweta ko pata nahin chalne diya ke Navina ko usske aur Shweta ke rishte ke baare mein pata hai, aur text karke Navina ko bhi bata diya ke unn donon ke sambandh ke baare mein Shweta se koyi bhi baat nah karen, buss aise lagna chahiye ke Shweta ko bilkool nah lage ke Navina ko Shweta aur Abhi ke sambandh ke baare mein pata hai….

Navina ne reply kiya ke wo samajh gayi wo aisa kuch nahin pata chalne degi.

Jab sab Abhi ke ghar reach hue to Shweta Abhi ke ghar aur aangan ko dekhti reh gayi….. andhera ho chuka tha phir bhi Abhi ke aangan mein itne lights the ke din lag raha tha wahan…. Shweta ne dhire se Abhi se kaha,

“Aap ka ghar to ek mahal jaisa hai…. How beautiful, yeh garden kaun maintain karta hai? Kitni khubsurat hai, wow look at those roses, kitne saare phool hein aap ki gartden mein wow!!”

Aur Aruhi ne pehla sawaal yeh kiya,

“Papa hum kisske yahan aaye hein? Kaun rehta hai idhar?!”

Abhi ne Aruhi ko goad mein uthaate hue kaha,

“Baby idhar tumhari badi mummy rehti hai!”

Shweta Aruhi ko dekh rahi thi aur Aruhi Shweta ko, to Shweta ne apna sar haan mein hillate hue Aruhi ko ikraar karne ka ishara kiya, magar Aruhi ne phir bhi Abhi se sawaal kiya,

“Badi mummy? Wo kaun hoti hai? Itne dinon se kyun nahin mili wo mujhe? Aur wo yahan kyun rehti hai? Hamaare saath kyun nahin rehti?!”

Abhi ke samajh mein agaya ke ab bahot sare sawaalon ka jawaab bana kar dena hoga Aruhi ko aur teenon ghar ke darwaze ke taraf bahdne lage jahan Navina apni khubsurat smile se sabko receive karne ko wait kar rahi thi.

Update 68 At Navina’s House​

“Badi mummy? Wo kaun hoti hai? Itne dinon se kyun nahin mili wo mujhe? Aur wo yahan kyun rehti hai? Hamaare saath kyun nahin rehti?!”

Abhi ke samajh mein agaya ke ab bahot sare sawaalon ka jawaab bana kar dena hoga Aruhi ko aur teenon ghar ke darwaze ke taraf bahdne lage jahan Navina apni khubsurat smile se sabko receive karne ko wait kar rahi thi.

Ab aaguey….

Navina aur Shweta kyunke ek dusre ko jaante the iss liye Shweta ko ziada takliff nahin hui Navina se milne mein…. Navina ne apne bahon ko khol kar receive kiya Shweta ko, usske donon gaal par kiss kiye, aur piche Aruhi Abhi ke goad mein se dekh rahi thi Navina ko usski mummy se gale milte hue to bachi samajh gayi ke koyi apna hi hoga, aur jab Shweta Navina se mil liye tab Abhi ne Aruhi ko Navina ke goad mein diya, aur Navina ne bade pyar se Aruhi ko apne goad mein leke usske chehre par seinkron puppiyan kiye. Wo dekh kar Shweta ke aankhen bhar aayi. Aruhi ke samajh mein nahin araha tha ke Navina hai kaun, uss se aaj pehli baar mili thi bachi soch rahi hogi ke itne dinon tak kyun nahin mili thi uss se….

Sab ghar ke andar gaye…. Abhi ka ghar bada tha, to lounge bhi itna bada tha, itni lights the ghar ke andar, Roshni hi Roshni, sab bahot acha lag raha tha aur ek raiz ka ghar lag to raha tha, kyun nah ho bhai, Abhi raiz to tha hi, apni mehnat se bana hua raiz tha, kissi ka haq nahin mara tha, khud ki kamaayi se bana tha raiz wo….

Aruhi ne chaaron taraf dekhte hue kaafi zor se Navina ke goad se kaha,

“Mummy, itna bada ghar? Yeh to fairy tales mein jo prince aur princess ke mehel hote hein weisa ghar hai, kitni khubsurat hai…wo wahan jo ghode ka poster hai mujhe wahan jaa kar dekhna hai….”

Navina Aruhi ko liye hue uss horse ki bade poster tak legayi, tab tak Shweta ne piche se Abhi ka haath ko pinch kiya aur dhire se kaha,

“Mujhe bahot awkward feel ho rahi hai, main kia baat karungi unn se… ghabrahat ho rahi hai mujhe!”

Abhi ne buss Shweta ko “husssssshhhh” kiya.

Navina Aruhi ko wo ghode ki painting ke paas leja kar uss se kuch baatein kar rahi thi…wo jaise Abhi aur Shweta ko ek saath free chorr rahi thi… ussko to pata tha donon ke baare mein magar Shweta ko nahin pata tha ke Navina ko sab pata hai donon ke baare mein.

Jab Navina uss painting ke paas khadi thi Aruhi ke saath to mudhkar Abhi se kaha,

“Aap Shweta ko ghar ghuma lao, upar dikhaa do chaaron taraf, aur piche swimming pool bhi dikha do, tab tak main Aruhi ke saath khelti hoon thoda.”

Aisa feel ho raha tha ke Abhi apni girlfriend ke saath ghar aya hai aur Navina usski maa hai aur apne bete ko usski girlfriend ko ghar dikhaane ko keh rahi thi.

Abhi Shweta ko upar legaya. Navina niche hi rahi Aruhi ke saath. Upar jaise donon Navina se door ho gaye, jhat se Sweta ne Abhi ko baahon mein bhar liya aur usske gardan ko chhumte hue kaha,

“Dekho main kaamp rahi hoon bahot hi ajeeb feel ho raha hai mujhe, agar unnko hum donon ke baare mein pata chala to?!”

Abhi ne wapas Shweta ko kiss karte hue kaha,

“Main hoon nah? Tum kyun fikar karti ho, Navina kuch nahin kahegi, ussko Aruhi ki Khushi jo mil gayi hai…chalo baaki ke rooms aur mera study dikhata hoon tumko…udhar Navina ki study room hai iss taraf mera hai, aur udhar special IT department hai iss ghar ka hehehehe!!”

Aur bedroom tak donon reach hue to Abhi ne Shweta ko jakra aur bed par push kiya aur usske upar chadh gaya….

Shweta bahot ghabra rahi thi to Abhi ko push karte hue kaha,

“Ofo ap paagal ho kia aap ki wife hai ghar mein aur aap mujh par chadh rahe ho uff… hatto nah!!”

Abhi ko maza araha tha Shweta ke wo nakhrein bilkool Ruhi jaise the…. Abhi ne Zor se Shweta ko bed ke upar daba kar ussko kiss kiya apne haath se usski boobs ko dabaate hue, aur apne tang ko Shweta ke tangon ke beech karna chah raha tha magar Shweta ne apne donon taangon ko ek saath daba liya tha jiss se Abhi apne tang ko usske tangon ke beech nahin kar paa raha tha, to Abhi ne ek haath se Shweta ke tangon ke beech kiya… aur Shweta ne tab apne tangon ko alag kiya aur Abhi ka tang Shweta ke donon jaanghon ke beech hua jissko Shweta ne kaske apne donon tangon ke bech dabaate hue Abhi ke kiss ko respond kiya….

Shweta ne kiss ko rokte hue kaha,

“Ab chalo bhi kia sochegi wo?!”

Abhi: “yaar tum Qayamat lag rahi thi paani mein uss swimming suit mein, kia body hai tumhari, ussi waqt tumko dabochne ko mann kar raha tha…. tumko khaa jaane ko mann kar raha tha…”

Shweta: “Really? Aap mujhe dekh rahe the? Aap ko to sirf Aruhi dikh rahi thi main ne socha tha!!”

Abhi: “Are meri jaan tum mere saamne raho aur mujhe dikhe bhi nahin? Wo to bachi ko khush karna tha varna tumko chorrta main bhala!”

Shweta ne ussko push karte hue muskuraate hue uthi aur apne kapde aur baal ko thik karte hue almari ki aine mein khud ko dekha, Abhi se naak modte hue aur dhire se kaha,

“Ab chaliye bhi I don’t want her to ask questions!! Please chaliye nah!”

Abhi: “she won’t ask any question, she has let us free herself, she wants us to be all alone did not you see!”

Shweta: “What? You mean she knows about us?!”

Abhi: “No just kidding sweetheart!”

Abhi Shweta ko batana chahta tha magar nahin bataya ke Navina ko sab pata hai.

Donon swimming pool ke paas ek dusre ko baahon mein bhare kuch der khade rahe aur Shweta ne kaha,

“Iss pool mein swim karna kitna acha lagega hmmm? Aap aksar iss mein relax karte honge nah?”

Abhi: “hmm khaas kar raat ko heated water mein swim karta hoon, it’s a pleasure!”

Shweta ne bade bade aankhon se almost chillaate hue kaha,

“What? Garam paani bhi hai? Aap garam paani mein swim karte ho? wo to din bhar ka thakaan door ho jaega!! How I would love to swim in it Abhi!”

Abhi ne ussko chumte hue kaha,

“okay kissi din tumko launga ghar par tab jee bhar ke swim karna.

”

Shweta: “How is that possible? Navina maam rahenge ghar par!”

Abhi: “jab wo college mein hogi tab launga tumko!”

Shweta: “ofo main bhi teacher hoon bhool gaye kia??!”

Abhi: “Are to uss din tum leave le lena simple!”

To Shweta ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“hmmm yessss!”

Tab Abhi ne kaha,

“Aur agar main tumhare aur Aruhi ke liye ek aisa ghar banwa doon to?!”

Shweta ne utre hue chehre se kaha,

“humko aisa sapna nah dikhao Abhi please!”

Abhi: “Aur uss ghar mein Ruhi bhi rahe tumhare saath to?!”

Shweta: “kia?? You mean Ruhi di? Errr mamma?!”

Abhi: “yessssss, I will buy or build a house for you three, sweetheart!”

Shweta: “Oh no… tab aap aur main kaise milenge uss ghar mein agar Ruhi di bhi ussi ghar mein hogi to?”

Abhi: “uss ghar mein meri beti hogi to mera wahan kabhi bhi aana laazmi hoga nah? to Ruhi ko kyun eitraz hogi?!”

Shweta: “Are nah that is not what I mean, hum donon uss ghar mein ek saath, Ruhi di ke hote hue? Shall we make love in her presence in the house?!”

Abhi: “hmmmm yeh nahi socha main ne!! To Ruhi ke liye ek alag sa ghar lunga chhota sa hi sahi, aur uss mein ek maid hogi usski dekh bhaal karne ke liye aur tum bhi aksar ya har roz milogi uss se… usski dekh bhaal bhi karogi got it? Aur Aruhi bhi apni nani se aksar milne jaegi, wahan rahegi bhi!”

Shweta:”okay yes yes yes my dear, mujhe Khushi iss baat ki hogi ke main aur aap akele ek ghar mein, jab aap aoge to mere saath ek raat guzaroge, aur Aruhi ko lagega ke usski mummy aur papa apne kamre mein hein… won’t that be nice?!”

Abhi: “hmmm yeah…. By next year tumko naya ghar mil jaega… aur we will start a new life, but I will have to share 3 homes! Mar jaunga main to 3 gharon ko ek saath sambhaalte hue! Hahahaha!”

Shweta: “hmm kiss ke paas ziada rahoge aap?!”

Abhi: “Navina ke paas obviously…. This is my real house. I will stay here the most. Navina will always be my priority, yeh hamesha yaad rakhna tum…. Usske baghair main aaj yeh nahin hota jo abhi hoon…. Wo nahin hoti to pata nahin main aaj kahan hota, ho sakta hai ke apne life mein aaj itna bada ghar bhi nahin hota mera, ho sakta hai Navina meri life mein nahin aati to mera garage bhi nahin hota….. kuch bhi nahin hota agar Navina mujhe nahin milti to!! She is my angel, farishta hai wo meri life ki!”

To be continued….

Update 69 The Next Morning​

Abhi: “Navina ke paas obviously…. This is my real house. I will stay here the most. Navina will always be my priority, yeh hamesha yaad rakhna tum…. Usske baghair main aaj yeh nahin hota jo abhi hoon…. Wo nahin hoti to pata nahin main aaj kahan hota, ho sakta hai ke apne life mein aaj itna bada ghar bhi nahin hota mera, ho sakta hai navina meri life mein nahin aati to mera garage bhi nahin hota….. kuch bhi nahin hota agar Navina mujhe nahin milti to!! She is my angel, farishta hai wo meri life ki!”

Ab aaguey….

Navina itni achi thi ke Aruhi usske saath itni ghul mil gayi jaise wo sach mein usski ek aur maa thi. Aruhi usske saath rehna chahti thi. Wapas ghar nahin jaana chahti thi. Dinner kiya bhi to Navina ke saath, kitchen ke saare kaam jab Navina karne gayi to Shweta usski help karne gayi to Aruhi bhi saath rahi apni maa ke nahin balke Navina ke saath.

Raat ke 11 baj gaye the aur tab tak Aruhi Navina ke goad mein thi, jab Shweta ne uss se jaane ke liye kaha to Aruhi ne bina jhijak ke kaha,

“Nahin aaj main badi mummy ke saath rahungi, usske paas soungi main.”

Shweta ko jaise ek khatra dikha. Ye khatra ke usski beti chhiin jaegi. Shweta ko dikh gaya ke Navina mein maamta bhara hua tha…. wo thi to teacher/lecturer, life bhar ussko bachon se paala pada hai aur usske saare students Navina ko behad pyar karte hein… unn students mein se seinkron ussko maa bulate the, Navina ke students mein se kayi ladkiyan aaj maa ban chuke hein aur ab bhi milte hein to Navina ko maa bulaate hein…. Navina hai hi aisi sirf pyar karti hai, pyar baantti hai sabke saath

Shweta ko darr tha ke kahin aisa nah ho ke maa hote hue bhi wo ek din bina aulad ke nah reh jaaye….. iss bare mein ek kone mein jaa kar Shweta ne Abhi se baat kiye…. Tab Abhi ne Shweta ko samjhaya ke agar Navina ke maamta mein se thoda pyar Aruhi ko mil jata hai to harj kia hai, usski biological maa to Shweta hi rahegi, bahot samjhaane ke baad Shweta maan gayi ke aaj Aruhi Navina ke saath reh sakti hai….

To decide hua ke Shweta bhi aaj abhi ke ghar hi rahegi….. magar Shweta apni ghar jaana chahti thi, apni mummy matlab wohi Ruhi ki chahi ke ghar….

Tab Navina ne Abhi ko ek taraf bula kar kaha ke wo chala jaaye aaj Shweta ke saath rahe raat bhar, aur kal subha aakar Aruhi ko lejaaye…. Magar Abhi ne Navina se kaha ke behtar hoga ke aaj Shweta yahin ruk jati… to dhire se Navina ne kaha,

“okay you go to sleep with her I don’t mind, mujhe Aruhi mil gayi main bahot khush hoon Aruhi will sleep in your place on my bed tonight!”

To Abhi gaya Shweta ko manaane ke wo aaj raat ko ussi ke ghar ruk jaaye…. Aur Shweta maan gayi…. Aruhi ko neendh aane lagi thi, to Navina ussko lekar apni bedroom mein chali gayi… ussko Abhi ka ek tshirt pehnaya gaya ek nighdress bana kar…. Aur Navina ne Shweta ko apni ek nighdress diya pehenne ke liye…..

Abhi Shweta ko ek dusre room mein legaya…. Shweta ko nahin pata tha ke Abhi ussi ke saath soega…. Wo chahunk gayi jab Abhi ko undress hote dekha….. wo nahin maan rahi thi…. Well usska mann to bahot tha ke Abhi ke saath love making kare magar ussne bilkool nahin socha tha ke Navina ke hote hue usske ghar mein yeh mumkin hoga…..

Iss raat ko Abhi to normal tha magar Shweta ne daarte hue love making kiya Abhi ke saath….

Abhi iss liye normal tha, bilkool josh mein tha, kyunke wo apne ghar mein tha aur Navina ki razamandi thi, magar Shweta iss liye darr rahi thi kyunke ussko darr tha ke Navina ko pata nah chal jaaye ke Abhi usske saat usske bed par hai…. Ishk farmaate waqt Shweta kaamp rahi thi aur dheemi dheemi awaaz mein baar baar keh rahi thi,

“uff jaldi karo, mujhe darr lag raha hai, aap ki wife sun legi, kia hoga agar ussko pata chala to, ofo mere saare kapde mat utaro, agar ussne kamra achanak open kiya to mujhe kapde pehhene ka mauka hi nahin milega…. Uff chhorro nah buss karo I am scared Abhi… kia kar rahe ho aap… ab buss bhi karo nah…..”

Shweta itni darrti, tadapti jaa rahi thi ke Abhi ko aur bhi ziada maza araha tha sab karne mein….

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

Subha ko Navina pehle uth gayi thi, kitchen mein busy thi breakfast tayyaar karne mein….. kitchen mein plates aur cups ki awaaz se Shweta ki neendh tuti, to ghabraate hue Abhi ko jagaya aur kaha,

“Aap ki wife jaag gayi hai aap jaldi se niklo…. Dekho please ussko khabar nahin hona chahiye ke aap mere paas soye the raat bhar…. Bolo aap ab kia karoge kaise nikloge yahan se?!”

Abhi ne ubaasi lete hue kaha,

“Don’t worry darling, kitchen to niche hai nah, hum to upar hein main nikal lunga ussko pata bhi nahin chalega… aur tab main tumhare door knock karne aunga tumko uthaane ke liye okay? Stop worrying sweetheart.”

Aur Abhi ne wohi kiya…. Kuch der baad Shweta ke darwaze ko knock kiya aur oochi awaaz mein kaha,

“hello Shweta it’s time to wake up…. Chalo aao tumko dikhata hon kidhar toothbrush, toothpaste etc rakhe hue hein….”

Niche se Navina Abhi ko dekh kar usske saath hanss rahi thi….

Kuch der baad Aruhi aur Shweta ne jaldi se breakfat liye aur abhi unn donon ko pehle unnke ghar chorrne gaya. Wahan se Ab Shweta ki zimedaari thi tayyaar hona aur Aruhi ko tayyaar karke school bhejna. Ahi wapas aya aur Navina ko lekar college chorrne gaya, phir ussko time mila Navina ko chorr kar wapas Shweta ke jaakar unn donon ko lekar Aruhi ko usske school chorra aur Shweta ko usski school.

Shweta bahot khush thi. School jaate waqt Shweta ne Abhi ko raaste bhar usske baahon ke niche haath daal kar apne sar ko usske kaandhe par rakhe hue gayi.

Aur baat katte hue ussne kaha,

“Aruhi kaha ke usski badi maa bahot hi achi hai aur usske paas har weekend bitaane jaegi.”

Abhi khush hua aur kaha,

“That’s great. Main bhi yehi chahta tha. Uss tarah se Navina weekends mein busy rahegi Aruhi ke saath and we can have time to spend together won’t you be happy sweetheart?”

Shweta ne khushi se haan kaha aur kaha,

“Socha nahin tha itna sab kuch ho jaega aur sab itna asaan bhi hoga…. Mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ke Navina hum donon ke baare mein jaanti hai? Does not she know about us Abhi?!”

Abhi: “Do you think if she would have known she would be quiet and accepted that I sleep with you?”

Shweta: “No, but she is so kind that I feel that she is aware but does not want to hurt us by letting us know that she is aware of our relationship.”

Abhi: “Do you want me to ask her?”

Shweta: “Are you mad? Yeh koyi puchne ki baat hai?!”

Abhi: “Then stop thinking about it.!”

Abhi ne Shweta ko school chorrne ke baad garage gaya aur apne working uniform mein bus mein kaam karne gaya…. Haan ab tamaam workers ke uniform hote the, dark blue colour ki , har ek worker ko har saal ek pair shoes, gloves aur 2 set of uniforms deta tha Abhi.

Abhi ko aaj bhi bus mein kaam karna passand tha. Har roz to nahin karta tha, magar jab bhi free rehta zaroor apne uniform mein garage mein paaya jata tha kissi bus mein weld karte hue ya kabhi alluminium sheets chipkaate hue….. aur kabhi kissi naye bande ko kaam seekhata Abhi.

Abhi ne plan kiya tha ke Aruhi aur Shweta ko saath lekar Ruhi se milne jaega, magar ab plan badal raha tha kyunke ussko Ruhi se pehle akele mein milna tha Diaries lene ke liye aur Ruhi se uss baare mein kuch aur baat karne ke liye usske baad Shweta aur Aruhi ko lekar jata wahan.

To Abhi ne Ruhi ko usski mobile par phone kiya…. 25 saalon mein aaj pehli baar dono ek dusre se baat karne jaa rahe the phone par.

Jaise Ruhi ne Abhi ki awaaz suni usska rona shuru ho gaya…. Iss liye ro rahi thi ke puri diaries padh liya tha aur itna royi thi har ek din ko diaries mein padhte hue aur Abhi ko miss karte aur uss par saare sitam karte hue dekh kar itna royi thi ke kal se usski aankhen sujhe hue the, aur upar se Abhi ke jawaab likh rahi thi….

Abhi ne ussko bataya ke jiss surprise ko wo dene wala tha kal nahin dega balke do din ke baad surprise dega ussko, kal sirf diaries aur usska jawab wapas lene ko aega.

Ruhi ne kaha ussko koyi surprise nahin chahiye ussko sirf abhi wapas chahiye…. Aur phone par hi rote hue Ruhi Abhi se maafi maangne lagi uss par der mahinon tak zulm karne ke liye, usske dil ko dukhaane ke liye, ussko utna tadpaane ke liye….

Abhi ne kaha ke kal batein karenge magar Ruhi bolti jaa rahi thi,

“Abhi mujhe isska ehsaas bilkool nahin tha unn dinon ke aap ko itna dukh de rahi thi main, diaries padhne ke baad ek ek baat saaf saamne dikh rahe the mujhe, ap ne ek ek pal ko itni clear likhe hein ke mujhe laga 1986 wapas agaya hai ya main wahan pahunch gayi hoon, Abhi main sach mein unn saare palon ko phir se jiya hoon aap ke diaries padhte hue, Abhi pease mujhe maaf kar dijiye, main ne aap par bahot zulam kiye the unn dinon please forgive me Abhi, mujhe issi liye upar wale ne sazaa di hai ke main aaj abahij ho chuki hoon, aap ke sacha aur saaf dil ko main ne bahot thess pahunchaye hein…..”

Abhi ke aankhen bhar aaye aur kaam ka bahana karte hue call ko end kiya aur kaha kal uss se milne aa raha hai.

To be continued…………

Update 70 Ruhi And The Diaries​

Ruhi ne jab diaries padna shuru kiya to bahot khush hui.

Usske dil mein kuch aise ehsaas jaage jo pichle 25 saalon mein jaise Ruhi ne dafna diye the… unn dinon ko yaad to karti thi magar sab ab ussko dhundla nazar ata tha, magar Abhi ki daries ne saare dhundlepan ko mita diye, jaise ke baarish mein ek car ke windshield par paani padhne se saaf nahin dikhaayi deta, Ruhi ke andar wo yaadein uss tarah the aur Abhi ki diaries ne ek wiper ka kaam kiya sab saaf kar diya aur sab kuch saaf dikhne laga dobara Ruhi ko…..

Padhna shuru kiya to kuch aise chizein maloom hui Ruhi ko jisska ussko tab pata bhi nahin tha wo ussko aaj pata chala…..

Jaise shuru mein Abhi ne likha tha ke ek aurat (Ruhi ki maa) ne Ruhi ka naam phukaarte hue ussko bus dekhne ko bulaya, aur kiss tarah se Abhi bechain wait karne laga tha ke kab wo Ruhi naam wali ladki kitchen ke chaukath par aaye bus ko dekhne ke liye taake Abhi uss ladki ko dekh sake….. yeh to first din ko hua tha jab Abhi wahan pehli baar gaya tha aur iss baat ke baare mein Ruhi ko bilkool bhi pata nahin tha yeh ussko aaj 25 saal baad pata chala diaries mein padhne ke baad…. Yeh part padhte hue Ruhi ko bahot acha laga ke aate hi Abhi ne ussko dekhne ke liye itna utavla ho gaya tha, Abhi ko usska naam sute hi pyar ho gaya tha, bina ussko dekhe, sirf usski awaaz sunke, kitchen ke andar se Ruhi jawaab de rahi thi aur usski awaaz Abhi ke kaanon tak jaa raha tha aur Abhi uss awaaz ki maalkin ko dekhne ke liye wait kar raha tha…. yeh padh kar Ruhi ko itna acha laga ke usska mann kiya ke wo din dobara wapas aaye aur wo ek bar firse, ussi taraf kitchen mein pakaaye aur usski maa ussko bulaaye Mehboob ka bus dekhne ke liye aur Ruhi wapas aaye stairs par dekhne ke liye taake Abhi ussko dekh sake….

Sochne ki baat hai ke Ruhi ko yeh padhte hue kaise feel ho raha hoga…. Ussko pata bhi nahin tha ke koyi ussko dekhne ke liye intezaar kar raha tha aur wo kitchen mein pakaane mein vyast thi…

Dairies to English mein likha hai Abhi ne magar yahan paathakon ke liye Hinglish mein sab hoga aur wohi hoga jo aap sab ne updates mein padhe hein pehle…… revive those days.....

Ab aap sab paathakon ko buss yun samajhna hai ke jaise Ruhi iss kahani ke update 1 se lekar update 46 tak padh rahi hai…. Khud ussne jo kuch kiya Abhi ke saath, Abhi ne jitney pal bhi guzaare uss aangan mein sab Ruhi padh rahi hai…. Kitna waqt Ruhi ne Abhi ke saath guzara, kitna Abhi tadpa, kitna Ruhi ke taraf se ikraar ya inkaar dikhaayi diya…. Yeh sab Ruhi ne padha…

Aur ab kyunke Ruhi ne kaha tha ke Abhi ko iss baar likh kar reply karegi, to yaaro….. aisa samjho ke Ruhi ne unn tamaan updates par apna review likha… kuch aisa hi samajhna hoga kyunke jo kuch iss kahani mein Update 1 se update 46 tak likha gaya hai wo sab Abhi ke unn diaries mein hein jo Ruhi ko Abhi ne diya!

Bahot saare aise events the jissko padhte hue Ruhi ko bahot achcha lag raha tha, muskura rahi thi, hanssti jaa rahi thi, jaise ke update 5 mein THE FIRST DAY OF WORK mein yeh part Ruhi ne padhne ke baad Ruhi ne yeh likha as reply to Abhi….

Reply karne ke liye Ruhi ne a writing pad kharida… ussi mein diaries ke replies likhne lagi Ruhi… to yeh part padha Ruhi ne:

{Bus stop se utar kar marammat karne wale bus tak pahunchne mein koyi 5 minat lagta tha, aur jab uss aangan mein daakhil hua abhi to usski nazar seedhe uss kitchen wale stairs par pahunche, bus par nahin. Chalte waqt bus tak reach hone ke liye abhi ki nazrein idhar udhar dekhta gaya, right mein jo ghar hai matlab jiss ghar mein wo ladki rehti hai, uss ghar ka saamne wale hisse ko ghaur se dekha abhi ne, jo pehla tap tha wahan dekha phir nazron ko uss taraf kiya jahan tap number 2 tha aur ek washing stone bhi tha uss dusre nal ke paas. Aur akhir mein uss jagah pahuncha jahan washroom tha. Aur ab wo washroom to direct uss kitchen ke opposite tha jahan kal Ruhi nazar ayi thi, uss washroom se kitchen ke andar nazar araha tha. Abhi ne ghaur se andar dekha. Koyi bhi nahin tha. Abhi ne sochna shuru kiya ke kal issi kitchen mein wo ladki paka rahi thi jiss waqt usski maa ussko awaaz de rahi thi……. Abhi ne ek vision kiya jo flashback ki tarah usske aankhon ke saamne aaye….

Ussne dekha ke ussi neeli dress mein ladki apni stove ke paas karhaayi mein kuch pakaa rahi hai aur Abhi ussko dekh rahi hai phir Abhi uss se ishaare se baat kar raha hai…..

Vision khatam hone ke baad Abhi ne socha kia aisa kabhi hoga bhi? Kia yeh mumkin hai? 4 se 6 mahinon tak yahin kaam karna hai kuch to baat aaguey badhegi zaroor….. Ek ajeeb si feeling ho raha tha abhi ko, uss kitchen ke andar dekhte hue, soch raha tha jaise usski maa pakaati hai kitchen mein weise hi ladki bhi kal paka rahi thi, ussko pakana ata hai, kia kabi kuch paka kar khilaegi Abhi ko? Wo sochne laga Abhi, usske haath ka paka hua kaisa lagega? Swadisht hoga? Abhi ussko kitchen stove ke paas dekhna chahta tha, ussko pakaate hue dekhna chahta tha, usska dil kar raha tha ke wo ladki wahan aaye aur Abhi usske paas jaakar ussko piche se jakre aur uss se pyar kare…. Aise feelings aa rahe the abhi ke dil mein kapde change karte waqt… }

Ruhi ne yeh padhne ke baad likha:

“Mujhe nahin pata tha aap pehle din se mujh mein itna interest le rahe the Abhi. Yeh sab padh kar bahot hi acha laga mujhe, wo puraane din wapas agaye. Kitna acha likhte ho aap. Aap ne meri aangan ko kitna achah describe kiya hai, mere ghar ko, kitchen ko, washing stone aur taps, sabko itne details mein likha hai? Main ne khud kabhi unn jizon ko nahin describe kiya jaise aap ne kiye hein. Aaj to wo sab baaki nahin hai Abhi magar aap ne sab likh kar unn chizon ko ab tak zinda rakha hai, its very very beautiful, you made me go back to those days Abhi….. Rahi baat aap ko mujhe kitchen mein pakaate hue dekhna aur yeh sochna ke kia kabhi aap mere haath ki pakaaye hue kha paoge, to Abhi wo wish to puri hui thi nah aap ki at least? Main ne aap ko lunch par invite kiya tha aur khud apne haath se pakaaya hua khilaya tha aap ko….

Hai nah Abhi? Dekha aap ne first day of work ko jo wish kiya tha wo puri hui thi Abhi! Aur rahi mujhe pakate waqt piche se aakar jakarne ki baat… Abhi aap ne first day ko hi yeh sab soch liya tha? Really? Kaash main wapas unn dinon mein jaa sakti to aap ko zaroor mauka deti mujhe aakar piche se kitchen mein jakarne ke liye….”

Aur dhire dhire aise hi Ruhi padhti gayi… aur yeh read kiya to Ruhi ne :

{Abhi baar baar uss ghar ke taraf dekhe jaa raha tha kaam karte hue, soch raha tha kia wo abhi tak so rahi hogi? Ussko dekhne ka bada mann tha abhi ko, magar wo bilkool nazar nahin arahi thi. Kia wo kaam par chali gayi hogi? Kia college gayi hogi? Ya university ki student hogi? Usski maa kayi baar nazar aayi. Mehboob bhi kayi baar aaye, sabse baat kiye, Mehboob ki biwi, Rahima bhi aayi, chai dene aayi sabko phir wapas chali bhi gayi magar wo ladki nahin dikhi thi Abhi ko din ke barah bajne ko tha. Bus ko nanga kar diya gaya tha, sirf bus ki chasis nazar arahe the apne 6 wheels par. }

Ruhi ne jawaab mein likha,

“Aap pehle din se hi mujhko itna dhund rahe the Abhi, I was not aware at all Abhi, pata hota to zaroor aap ke saamne aati main… kaash mujhe tab aap ka pyar ka pata chala hota Abhi…. Main hi andhi thi Abhi….”

Ruhi ne padha kaam ke dusre din ki events ko Abhi ne kuch aisa likha tha:

{ Abhi ko sharam feel ho raha tha aur kitchen ke taraf dekhna bandh kar diya apna turn wait kiya khud ko fresh karne ke liye; magar usska dil nahin maan raha tha ke wo Ruhi ko kitchen mein nah dekhe, usska mann tha ke wo ussko dekhe pakaate hue, ussko admire kare, to Abhi ne apne doston ke peeth piche chhup chhup kar Ruhi ko dekhna jaari rakha….. ussne ek baar dekha ke Ruhi ki maa ussko kuch keh rahi thi aur Ruhi zor se hanssi aur usske taraf dekha, wo khilkhila kar hanssi thi, Abhi usski uss hanssi par fida ho gaya, ussko Ruhi ko aur weise hansste hue dekhne ko mann kar raha tha…. hanssne ke baad Ruhi chulhe par ek dish mein mein ek ladki wale spoon se kuch chala rahi thi, matlab mix kar rahi thi, tarkaari paka rahi hogi Abhi ne socha.. aur weise hanssne ke baad Ruhi ke chehre par ek Muskaan baaki tha aur ussne apne niche wale honth ko daanton mein dabaate hue apni maa ke taraf dekha aur ussko kuch kaha, phir ek haath se Ruhi apne chehre se ek latt ko apne sar ke upar kiya tab weise hi ek honth ko daant mein dabaaye hue hi Abhi ke tarraf phir se dekha aur donon ke nazrein mile…. Abhi ke chehre par ek Muskaan ban gaya tha apne aap Ruhi ko admire karte hue.}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

Haan Abhi yeh din mujhe bahot achchi tarah se yaad hai. Yaad hai main kitni zor se hanssi thi kyunke main ne turant realise kiya tha ke kitne log hein aaj aangan mein aur main aise hanss rahi hoon…. Abhi aap mujhe kitchen mein pakaate hue bhi describe kiye ho!!kitna acha likha hai aap ne sab kuch Abhi, yahan tak ke main ek lakdi wale spoon use kar rahi thi yeh bhi likha hai aap ne Abhi? Aap washroom se apne doston ke piche chhup chhup kar mujhko dekh rahe the isska bhi pata nahin tha mujhko Abhi, magar haan main ne bhi aap ko dekha tha ekaat baar udhar yeh sach hai…. Aap ne mere chehre ko, mere sar ke baal ko, mere honthon ko, mere muskurahat ko sab ko itni achi tarike se kaise describe kiya hai Abhi? Aap ne mujhko tabhi kyun nahin diya tha yeh sab padhne ke liye Abhi? Agar main yeh sab uss waqt padhti to aap par fida main ho jaati Abhi… Itna admire karte the aap mujhe Abhi, I regret so much that I was really blind not to see all that at that time Abhi."

Ruhi ne aaguey read kiya:

{Aur jiss waqt Abhi apne baalon mein kanghi kar raha tha khud ko aine mein dekhte hue ussne dekha ke Ruhi ki nazrein uss par the. Ruhi Abhi ko baal banaate hue dekh rahi thi thoda muskuraate hue. Aur donon ke beech ziada faasla bhi nahin tha, aamne saamne the donon, yeh pehli bar tha ke Abhi Ruhi ko itne karib se dekh raha tha. Bahot hi acha feel hua Abhi ko. Usska dil machalne laga, bahot khush tha wo. Ussne ekaat baar Ruhi ko dekha weise hi muskuraate hue, aur iss baar Ruhi hanss padi Abhi ko dekhte hue, pata nahin kyun ussko hanssee aayi. Abhi ne dobara aine mein dekha Ruhi ko hansste hue dekh kar ke kahin usske chehre mein kuch aur to nahin laga hua hai, sab saaf tha to kyun hanssi wo Abhi ne socha!}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

“haan Abhi yeh mujhe bilkool yaad hai. It was the first time I looked well at you. Wo aap ka dusre din tha work ka yes I remember. Haan main hanssi thi pata hai kyun hanssi thi main, main kaafi der se aap ko baal banaate hue dekh rahi thi aur soch rahi thi ke ladke bhi aine ke saamne itna time lete hein, aap apne look ka care karte the, apne aap ko aine mein dekhe jaa rahe the aur baal banaate jaa rahe the, aur yahan ab main samjhi ke wo sab aap mere liye kar rahe the, mujhko impress karne ke liye ya mere saamne acha dikhne ke liye aap itna tayyaar ho rahe the, awwww Abhi….. love you so much, I miss those days so so much Abhi…. Wo pehli baar tha ke main bhi aap ko utna karib se dekha tha aur sach bataun aap mujhe bahot achche lage the uss din, aur usssi din ke baad main ne bhi aap ko dekhna shuru kiya tha kyunke meri samajh mein agaya tha ke aap mere taraf kitna dekh rahe ho….”

{Ek blue Jean aur ek white Tshirt mein dressed tha Abhi aur ab ek handsome young man dikh raha tha. ussne khud ko kayi baar aine mein dekha, chehre par haath ferra kayi baar aur Ruhi ki nazrein uss par tikke rahe muskuraate hue. Ruhi ab Saeed ko nahin sirf Abhi ko dekh rahi thi; aur jab Abhi tayaar hua wahan se nikalne ke liye to Mehboob nikla ghar se aur Saeed ke paas khade hokar baat karne laga…. Tab tak Abhi chalte hue Saeed tak reach hua apne bag ko kaandhe par taange hue, aur ek nazar Ruhi par kiye hue. Ruhi ki nazar Abhi par hi thi jab wo ruka}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

“Abhi sach hai jab tak aap chal kar wahan se nahin gaye meri nazar aap par hi tikke rahe the, you are right… aur hey Abhi aap ne apne aap ko bhi describe kiya hai….

Aap ko aksar uss Blue Jean aur white Shirt mein visualie karti hoon Abhi aaj bhi….”

Jab Ruhi ne yeh read kiya:

{“I wish I would be living in that village of hers. Thus, I could go there any time and look at her. What could she be doing at this time? Had she already had dinner? Must she be watching TV with her family? How nice it would have been if I suddenly reach there at this time and she gets surprised to see me! Would her mother ask me to get inside and watch TV with them? Would I get a seat close to Ruhi and we both hold each other’s hands and watch TV?”

Ek sapna likh raha tha Abhi, ussko iss sapne ko sach karna tha.}

Ruhi ne likha:

“Ek Sapna hi likh rahe the aap Abhi, wo sapna hi ban kar reh gaya, agar main ne saath diya hota to aap ka wo sapna zaroor pura hota Abhi. I am very sorry abhi for not making your dream come true. Abhi I would have loved to receive you at my place and you sit by my side and we would be watching TV together like you have written…”

Aaguey read kiya ruhi ne:

{ Aur aaj subha 6.30 ko abhi reach ho gaya uss muhalle mein. Shop se cigarrte kharida aur kasht maarte hue uss aangan mein dakhil hua, aur Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekhte hue aaguey badhta gaya ke achanak ussko garden mein koyi dikha…. Garden right hand side mein hai, plan mein dekh lena update 4 par…. Abhi ne bilkool bhi nahin socha tha ke itne savere wo Ruhi ka saamna karega….. Ruhi night gown mein thi aur garden se gulaab ke phool pick kar rahi thi… usski haath mein ek kainchi thi jiss se wo phool kaat rahi thi, usski left hand mein koyi 4 ya 5 gulaab already the aur wo aur kaat rahi thi, usski nightgown pale blue color ki thi, lambi thi usski pura jism dhaka hua tha niche tak, yahan tak ke usski chappal par uss dress ki last end chhuh rahe the…..}

Ruhi ne likha:

“Abhi main iss din ko aksar sochti hoon. Yeh mujhko bahot achi tarah se yaad hai jaise yeh kal hi hua tha. AAp ne uss din mujhko pehli baar good morning kaha tha aur main ne reply nahin kiya tha aura ap ne isska shikayat bhi kiya tha mujhse…. Bilkool yaad hai sab mujhe…. Abhi baat yeh thi ke yahan ham sheher mein nahin hein nah yahan kissi ko bhi wo aadat thi hi nahin ke koyi kissi ko good morning kare ya koyi usska reply de, aap to sheher ke paas se ho to aap ko good morning, good evening ya afternoon karne ki aadat thi, yahan par koyi nahin karta hai issi liye meri samajh mein nahin aya tha ke aap ko kia jawaab doon issi liye main ne uss din aap ko koyi jawaab nahin diya tha aur sharminda bhi feel kiya tha main ne…. aap ne mere nightdress ko bhi describe kiya hai Abhi…. Mujhe khud yaad nahin wo kaun si wala nightdress thi….”

{“Sala ek good morning ka reply karne mein kia jata hai? Mera din ban jata aaj agar ussne mujhe good morning keh diya hota to, din mazedaar guzarta aaj mera… magar ab to mood hi kharab ho gaya savere savere yaar, main kyun aaj itni savere agaya yahan…. Kaash wo ab kitchen mein ajaaye to main dobara ussko good morning karunga aur kahunga ke good morning ka jawaab dete hein khamosh nahin rehte….!”}

Yeh padh ke ruhi ne likha, I AM SORRY ABHI.

Aur aaguey read kiya ruhi ne:

{ Phir turant Ruhi apne ghar ke saamne wale hise par aayi tap one ke paas wahan jharu lagaane aayi, kal bhi wohi kiya tha, ek chota sa baramde par jharu lagaa rahi thi aur Abhi ke bus do kadam ki doorie par thi, jhuk kar jharu lagaa rahi thi aur Abhi ki nazrein uss se hatt hi nahin rahe the…. Ruhi ko pata tha ke Abhi ussi ko dekhe jaa raha hai, aur ussne nazrein utha kar Abhi ko dekha ek halki si muskaan ke saath. Abhi cigarette pee raha tha, to Ruhi ne apni meethi awaaz mein kaha,

“cigarette pina achi baat nahin hai ji!”}

Ruhi ne jawaab likha:

“Abhi aaj bata doon aap ko ke main khaas kar aap ke liye hi wahan ziada aya karti thi, aap mujhe ache lagne lage the, aap se baat karne ka mera bhi mann kar raha tha, haan mujhe pata chal gaya tha ke aap sirf mujhko dekhte rehte ho, aur mujhko dhundte ho har baar, aur aap shaayd hichkichate the mujhse baat karne mein to main ne uss din khud socha ke aap se kuch kahun to dekha aap cigarette pee rahe the, to ussi ke bare mein kaha tha aap se…. Thanks for describing me brooming my terrace Abhi, loved it.”

Dosto yeh update lamba chalega.. may be

Or updates mein sab end hoga, tab Abhi aega milne Ruhi se….

Update 71 Ruhi And The Diaries II​

Ruhi ne jawaab likha:

“Abhi aaj bata doon aap ko ke main khaas kar aap ke liye hi wahan ziada aya karti thi, aap mujhe ache lagne lage the, aap se baat karne ka mera bi mann kar raha tha, haan mujhe pata chal gaya tha kea ap sirf mujhko dekhte rehte ho, aur mujhko dhundte ho har baar, aura ap shaayd hichkichate the mujhse baat karne mein to main ne uss din khud socha kea ap se kuch kahun to dekha aap cigarette pee rahe the, to ussi ke bare mein kaha tha aap se…. Thanks for describing me brooming my terrace Abhi, loved it.”

Ab aguey….

Ruhi ne diaries padhna jaari rakha:

{ To Saeed bhai chala gaya Tubes ke taraf aur Abhi wapas Ruhi ko dekha aur kaha,

“sunon please, ek baat puchni hai!”

Ruhi do kadam Abhi ke taraf muskuraati hui aayi aur pucha,

“kia? Cigarrte kyun nahin pina yeh puchoge aap?”

Abhi ne hansste hue kaha,

“are nahin puchna yeh hai ke aap ko main ne kuch der pehle good morning kaha to aap ne jawaab kyun nahin diya?!”

Ruhi heyrani se Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“What? Aap ne kab mujhse baat kiye, baat to main ne aap se kiya abhi abhi?!”

Abhi: “are yaar, jab tum garden se roses pick kar rahi thi aur main araha tha tab tumko good morning kaha tha nah?!”

Ruhi: “Really? Main ne to kuch nahin suna, sorry then, very good morning to you too and do have a nice day.

”

Abhi bahot khush hua aur kaha,

“wow that’s great then, same to you my dear!”}

Ruhi ne yeh padh kar hansste hue reply likha:

“hmmmm Main ne jhoot kaha tha ke main ne nahin suna tha, kuch der pehle reason diya nah ke kyun main ne reply nahin kiya tha, magar aap ne iss conversation ko bahot khubsurat tarike se likha hai, main muskuraate hue padhti gayi…”

{Ruhi ne niche dekhte hue dhire se kaha,

“I am not your ‘dear’ aur aap to acha English bol lete ho to eisa kaam kyun karte ho aap?!”

Abhi: “Why? Iss kaam mein kia buraayi hai bhala?”

Ruhi: “meri mummy kehti hai yeh kaam sahi nahin hai kyunke iss mein future nahin hai!”

Abhi ne usski maa ke taraf dekha aur Ruhi ko jawaab diya,

“tumhari mummy ghalat kehti hai, this job is a perfect one.”}

Ruhi ne yahan reply yeh likha:

“Abhi, aap ghaur kijiyega, yahan main ne kaha MUMMY kehti hai yeh kaam sahi nahin, yeh mera kehna nahin tha Abhi….. aur aap ne bilkool sahi jawaab diya tha ke meri MUMMY GHALAT kehti hai”

Aur ruhi aaguey badhti gayi padhte hue:

{ Abhi phir kaam par lag gaya. Kaam karte waqt of course baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekh raha tha.

Koyi ek ghante tak abhi ko time hi nahin mila Ruhi ko dekhne ki magar Abhi ko pata nahin tha ke Ruhi apne ghar ke andar se khirki ke paas parde ke kone se Abhi ko wo kaam karte dekh rahi thi aur usski maa bhi dekh rahi thi Abhi ko uss lohe ko form dene ke liye kiss taraah hatoda maar raha tha. Ab wo loha Tony se sambhala nahin jaa raha tha kyun ke jab Abhi uss par hathoda maar raha tha to Tony ke haath mein shock lag raha tha iss liye kayi baar loha uss ke haath se chuth gira, aur ek baar loha jab Tony ke haath se chhuta to wo end wapas Abhi ke thik chehre ke paas laut kar ruka aur jhat se Abhi ne kuch kadam piche liya varna ussko gehra choat lag jata. Ruhi ne wo sab dekha aur usski aah nikli jiss waqt wo loha wapas Abhi ke chehre ke paas gaye to….

Kyunke jab loha bounce hokar gira ek ajeeb sa shor hua aur Tony zor se abhi ka naam chillaya ussko warn karne ke liye to Saeed, Vinay, Mehboob, Ruhi ka dada, Ruhi ki maa sab turant baahar aaye dekhne ko ke kia hua…..

Haath mein wo bada sa hatoda liye jiss action se upar chalaang laga kar Abhi kuda tha uss lohe se bachne ke liye, phir jiss jagah jaa kar Abhi land hua tha haath mein hathode sameth wo ek heroic action tha jissko Ruhi ne admire kiya. Hero lag raha tha Abhi uss action ko karte hue. Aur jahan land hua tha Abhi uss chalaang ke baad wo Ruhi ki terrace par tha, aur thik ussi jagah se ruhi Abhi ko jhaank rahi thi. Aur ussne turant khirki ki parde ko hatta kar abhi se kaha,

“Bahot dangerous hai yeh kaam, aap bahot khatarnaak tarike se abhi hurt ho sakte the, mujhko bahot darr laga jab main ne uss lohe ko aap ke sar ke taraf udh kar aate hue dekha to, mujhe laga ke aap ko lag gayi…. Aap bahot flexible body ke malik ho gymnastic karte ho kia aap? Aap wahan se kaise, jaise udhkar yahan pahunche?!”

Abhi ko bahot hi acha laga Ruhi ko wo sab kehte hue sun kar aur jawaab diya ke garage mein ek sophisticated machine hai jo lohe ko modta hai, yahan kuch nahin hai iss liye haath se karna pad raha hai varna kaam bilkool dangerous nahin hai…. Phir bhi Ruhi ki maa ne bhi join kiya Ruhi ko aur kaha ke dangerous hai yeh kaam.

Ruhi ne abhi se kaha baad mein :

“be very careful please, I am feeling scared!” }

Ye sab padhne ke baad Ruhi ne likha:

“Abhi uss din main sach mein bahot darr gayi thi, mujhe laga tha ke aap ke chehre par wo loha zor se lag gayi thi, aap ka handsome chehra bigar jata Abhi…. Haan aap mujhe bahot hi ziada handsome lagne lage the Abhi…. Jitney log kaam kar rahe the hamare aangan mein you were the most handsome, charismatic and very attractive young man…. Aap mein kuch tha jo dusron ko apne taraf attract karta tha, aap ki ek bahot hi strong personality hai Abhi, tab bhi tha ab bhi hai…. Ek to aap ka ooncha kad, upar se aap ki bolne aur dekhne ka andaz, aap ki smile, aap ki seriousness, aap ke chehre mein aisa kuch hai jo aapki personality ko bahot hi strong banata hai…. Hamare aangan mein ek aap hi the jiss se har koyi prabhaavit hota tha, ghar mein aap ke naam ka zikr hota tha jab sab log chale jaate the…. koyi saeed ki group ko nahin sab Abhi ki group ka naam lete jab bhi bus banaane wale ke baat karte the… Iss aangan mein aap main subject of talk hote the aksar…. Mahboob se lekar Rahima, Farzina, Manoj, Mahesh sab aap ka naam lete jab bhi kaam ki baat hoti thi….. Aur yeh to main ne aap se kaha hi tha ke hamare aangan mein jitna Abhi ka naam goonjta tha kabhi kissi aur ka naam nahin sunaayi diya meri life mein is aagan mein goonjte hue Abhi…. Aap chale gaye the to sanaata chhah gaya tha, main tarasti thi ke koyi chamatkaar ho jaaye aur koyi zor se ABHI ka naam ek baar to phukaar de!!.... mere kaan mein yeh awaaz ajaate ke ‘ABHI udhar dekho uss tin ko chipkana hai, ABHI zara uss lohe ko mod kar laado, ABHI kidhar ho idhar mera help karne aao, ABHI ek cigarette do mujhe…. ABHI … ABHI…. ABHI….. Iss naam se hi mujhe pyar ho gaya tha, iss naam ko sunne ke liye main tarasti reh gayi aap ke jaane ke baad, sapnon mein seikron baar aap ka naam kissi ko phukaarte hue sunkar jaagi hoon pichle 25 saalon mein Abhi….

Aap ko acha laga tha ke main ne care kiya tha aap ke liye uss roz yeh jaan kar acha laga abhi, magar ussi din se yeh confirm bhi ho gaya tha ke jo kaam aap karte ho wo bahot dangerous hai, yeh mummy ke taraf se aur bhi ziada serious ho gaya tha udhar nani ke ghar walon ke taraf se aur bhi aag mein tel daalne wali baat hua karta tha…. baad mein samjhaungi….”

Ruhi ne aaguey yeh padha:

{ Der ghante beet gaye aur ek do baar Abhi ne dekha ke ghar ke piche se ek do baar Ruhi ne ussko dekha weld karte hue. Buss jhank rahi thi phir ghar ke piche ho jaati thi, same time apni maa se baat kar rahi thi…..

Abhi ko pyas laga aur dekha ke nal hai to ek khali botal lekar gaya paani bharne, ussi bahane Ruhi se ek do baat kar leta, magar usska plan fail hua kyunke tap number one tha yahin bus ke paas, to kyun karib ke tap ko chorr kar piche wale tap mein paani bharne jata?! Phir bhi pani lene se pehle Ruhi ki maa se permission liya ke kia uss nal se paani le sakta hai…. Jiss waqt Ruhi ki maa Abhi ko reply kar rahi thi, Ruhi saamne aayi Abhi ko dekhne ke usski maa se kia keh raha tha wo. Muskura rahi thi aur jab abhi pani bharne laga botal mein to Ruhi ne kaha,

“pani maangte nahin hein, buss le lete hein, agli baar puchna nahin buss nal kholna aur bhar lena okay?!”

Abhi ne muskuraate hue thanks kaha, thik tabhi Ruhi ki maa ne Ruhi se kuch kaha, aur turant Ruhi ne Abhi se kaha,

“Hello? Juice piyoge? Thoda sa juice bana doon kia?!”

Yehi bat keh rahi thi Ruhi se usski maa ke kyun nah thoda sa juice de diya jaaye unn logon ko…

Magar Abhi ne Ruhi se muskuraate hue kaha,

“suno dear, juice sahi hai magar ek problem ho jaega!”

Ruhi heyrani se Abhi ko dekhte hue pucha,

“What? Juice se kia problem ho jaega bhala?”

To Abhi ne kaha,

“juice piyunga to cigarrete pine ka mann karega kyunke juice sweet hoga nah? tab tum kahogi ke cigarrte pina acha nahin!”

Abhi ki reply sunkar Ruhi ki maa zor se hanss padi, aur Ruhi ne munh banaate hue kaha,

“to phir thik nahin nahin banaugi juice mat pina cigarrete phir!”}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

“Hmmm aap ko bahana chahiye tha cigarette pine ke liye… yeh sab 100% yaad ha mujhe Abhi kyun ke teesre ya chauthe din ke baad main khud aap se impress ho chuki thi aur aap ko dekhne lagi thi aur jaise aap mujhe dekhte rehte the main bhi aap ko dekhti rehti thi, jaise aap mujhe dhudte rehte the mujhe pata hota tha ke aap ko sirf bus ke taraf ke dekhna hota hai aap ko dekhne ke liye…. Mujhe hanssi aayi yeh read karke ke aap mere paas aana chahte the magar nal aap ke paas hi tha jabke aap dusri nal ke paas ana chahte the jahana main thi hihihihihi!..... waise ek baat kahun Abhi? Kabhi kabhi mujhe aap ko cherrne aur tang karne mein mujhe acha lagta tha…. aap cute jo lagne lage the mujhe… aap se bahot cherr chaani karne ko mann karta tha mujhe….

Aur aaguey padha ruhi ne:

{ Abhi ke chehre mein ek udaasi chaah gayi thi, jo shayad Ruhi ne note kiya, Abhi lagataar ussko dekhe jaa raha tha aur Ruhi uncomfortable feel karne lagi…. Ruhi ne phir Abhi ko dekha aur haath ke ishaare se pucha kia hua to Abhi ne naah mein sar hillaya matlab kuch bhi nahin kaha….. phir Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ki maa taar par kapde sukhne ke liye taang rahi thi to jaldi sse Abhi bina kuch soche samjhe Ruhi ke taraf gaya…

Abhi ko apne taraf aate dekh kar Ruhi ka chehra laal ho gaya jaise ussko pata tha Abhi uss se kia kehne araha hai, Ruhi kabhi apni maa ko dekhti to kabhi bus mein dusre logon ko kaam karte dekhti phir Abhi ko dekhti… wo kuch ghabra si gayi….

Abhi Ruhi ke bilkool karib pahuncha aur dheemi awaaz mein, aashikana andaz mein pucha,

“Tumhari life mein koyi hai? Please sach batana? Agar hai to be jhijhak batado please.”

Ruhi hanss padi, chehra laal to hua hi tha aur Abhi ki baat sun kar wo hanssne lagi phir pucha,

“iss sawaal ka ek sawaal se jawaab doon?!”

Abhi usski hanssi ko admire karne laga, kitni khubsurat dikhti hai Ruhi hansste hue. Phir Abhi ne kaha,

“okay wohi sahi bolo to!”

Ruhi ne hansste hue hi pucha,

“yeh sawaal kyun? Jaan sakti hoon?!”

Abhi ne bilkool heyraan hote hue kaha,

“Areeee?! Kamaal hai, yeh koyi jawaab hai? Sawaal bhi nahin fit baithta ab…. Mera sawaal to sawaal hi reh gaya nah?!”

Ruhi ki maa donon ko muskuraate hue dekh rahi thi kapde taar par taangte hue.

Abhi ne phir dhire se kaha,

“please batao nah mere liye ye bahot important hai bolo nah please.”

Ruhi ne intelligently jawaab diya,

“kaise important ho sakta hai bhala? Hum ek dusre ko jaante bhi nahin, abhi do din hue ek dusre se baat kiye hue to kia important ho sakta hai do dinon mein? Mujhe nahin yakeen ke kuch bhi important hai abhi, I don’t believe you!”

Abhi ne socha wo bhi sahi tha.

Ruhi ab blush karne lagi aur apne jeeb ko apne upper lip ke andar se honth ko fullaya, phir muskuraayi Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue….. donon ek dusre ke aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekh rahe the… Abhi ne note kiya ke Ruhi ki nazrein usske chehre ko chaaro taraf dekh rahe the, usski peshaani ko dekha usski nazar ne, phir usske gaal ko dekha, tab usske chehre ko dekha tab usske aankhon mein wapas dekha….. aur Abhi ne kaha,

“samajhdaar ko ishara kaafi hai, mujhe jo kehna tha so main ne keh diya, aaguey tumhari marzi miss Ruhi”

Yeh keh kar Abhi mudhne wala tha wapas bus ke paas jaane ke liye magar Ruhi ne ussko yeh kehkar roka,

“bilkool nahin, aap ne kuch bhi kaha nahin, aap ne ek sawaal kiya tha mujhse, kuch kehne aur sawaal karne mein antar hote hein mister Abhi!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekhte hue kaha,

“mera sawaal hi ishara tha meri baat ka, uss sawaal se ishara mil gaya hoga, samajhdaar to ho tum, to ishara kaafi hai tumko hehehehe!”

Aur Abhi jaane laga wapas, to Ruhi hanssne lagi aur kaha,

“bahot honshiyaar samajhte ho aap apne aap ko nah Abhi?!”

Tab tak Abhi bus ke paas reach ho chuka tha aur mudhkar Ruhi se kaha,

“samajhta nahin hoon Miss Ruhi, main HOON. Honshiyaar hoon main!”

Ruhi ussko dekhti rahi kaafi der tak hansste hue. Apni jagah se baar baar Abhi muskuraate hue Ruhi ko dekhe jaa raha tha weld karte hue, aur Ruhi bhi ab bade pyar se Abhi ko dekhti jaa rahi thi…….

}

Yeh sab Ruhi ne do ya teen baar padha reply likhne se pehle… padhte hue kayi baar muskuraayi aur aakhir mein hanss padi, phir udaas ho gayi… phir se muskaayi aur yeh likha:

“Abhi main heyraan hoon yeh padh kar ke aap mujhko kiss tarah se perfectly describe karte ho, it is really amazing! I am shocked Abhi, aap sach mein koyi writer ho kia? Kaise iss tarah se mujhko, meri adaon ko, mere chehre ke hav bhaav ko describe kar lete ho Abhi? You are just incredible! Main blush karne lagi thi, apne jeeb ko apne upper lip ko fula kar phir main muskuraayi aap ke chehre mein dekhte hue….. uff itna mujhko observe karte the aap Abhi? Oh my God!

Abhi main hanss padi thi to aap meri hanssi ko admire karne lage the, aap kia kia admire nahin karte the mujh mein Abhi? Aur kyun itna admire karte the aap mujhe abhi? Main to kuch bhi nahin thi, main bahot mamooli chiz thi Abhi, daag thi mujh mein jo aap ko nahin dikh raha tha, phir bhi aap mujhko admire karte the…. Ek jagah aap ne likha ke aap ne note kiya ke meri nazrein aap ke chehre par chaaron taraf dekh rahe the, aap ke peshaani se lekar aap ki aankhon ko naak ko pure chehre ko…. Aap ko bata doon Abhi ussi din main ne aap ke eyebrows ko ghaur se dekha tha, kitna khubsurat hai, jaise peel kiye hue hein, jaise ladkiyan peel off karte hein aap ke eyebrows natural mein weise hein…. Aap ke baal dekh rahi thi kitne baal the aap ke full kale aur thick the aap ke baal, mujhe bahot passand the, sirf aap ke honth cigarette pine se thoda blackish hue the agar aap cigarette nahin pite to pinkish hote aap ke honth bhi…. Wohi sab dekh rahi thi main aap ke chehre mein Abhi uss din…

Aur Abhi jo sawal aap ne kiya tha usska jawaab main ne aap ko tod mod kar diya tha usski vajah ab to aap samajh chuke honge ke kyun main sahi jawaab nahin de paayi thi aap ko? Kaise aap ko bataati ke koyi nahin meri life mein Abhi jab main ek bache ki maa thi? Mujhko majbooran jawaab ko modna hi para tha abhi, forgive me again please. ------ Aur haan Abhi you were RIGHT. AAP SACH MEIN BAHOT BAHOT HI HONSHIYAAR THE AUR HO YOU ARE VERY INTELLIGENT, MUCH MORE THAN I AM!”

Ruhi ne aaguey read kiya:

{ Maa: “Aur phir wo chala gaya kia?!”

Ruhi: “nahin bahot tez hai wo sach mein, padha likha lagta hai, English bhi acha bolta hai maa, ussne mujhe kaha ke samajhdar ko ishara kafi hai, aur kaha ke main samajhdar to hoon so samajh jaungi ke ussne ye sawaal kyun kiya mujhse, sach mein honshiyaar hai khud bhi kaha ussne hehehehe!”

Maa ne Ruhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“to ab tu kia karegi? Bata? Kia wo pasand hai tujhe?”

Ruhi ne ek gehri saans lete hue Abhi ke taraf dekha, phir apni maa ke chehre mein ek ajeeb si sikanjh chehre par laate hue kaha,

“pata nahin maa, pata nahin mujhe, kitna handsome hai, hai nah maa? Padha likha bhi hai aur strong hai, kitna lamba hai maa!! Main kia karun maa?!”

Maa ne bhi ek gehri saans liye aur kaha,

“Mujhe kia pata mujhse kyun puch rahi hai, tu bol kia karna hai ab?!”

Ruhi ne phir muskuraate hue apni maa ke taraf dekha aur kaha,

“Abhi kuch nahin kehna mujhe, kuch aur din beet jaane do tab bataungi aap ko aur shaayad ussko bhi….”}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

“Abhi ab to aap samajh gaye honge nah ke kiss baare mein maa mujhse baat kar rahi thi? Yehi ke main kia karungi? Aap ko nahin pata tha ke main ek bachi ki maa thi, aap mujhe ek kunwari ladki samajh rahe the, maa ko pata tha ke mujhe to kisi se shaadi karne ka haq hi nahin yehi kehti aayi thi wo mujhse jiss din se main ne Shweta ko janam diya tha. umar bhar mujhe ghar mein bandh kar rakhna chahti thi. Ya kaha tha ke kissi aadher aadmi hi milega mujhse shaadi karne wala kyunke main ek maa hoon, single mother….. ya to phir maa ne ek hi raasta rakha tha jo mere liye safe thi wo tha France ki Amit. Maa kehti ke pardes mein tu hogi usske saath foreign mein rehne wale virginity ko koyi ehmiyat nahin dete ussne bhi gori ladkiyon ke saath khub gulcharre udaaye honge to tera virgin nah hona usske liye koyi important nahin hoga….. magar yahan ke ladke to weisa nahin hein yeh maa ka sochna tha…. issi liye wo puch rahi thi ke ab main kia karungi… aap ko kaise bataungi ke main ghalat hoon, ke mujh mein ek daag hai, ek dhabba lag chuka hai mujh par…. aap naye the, jawaan the, handsome the mujhko ek kunwari ladki samajhte the…. Mere liye kitna mushkil tha wo sab face karna aur aap ko sab batana ….. it was not easy Abhi….”

Itna likhne ke baad Ruhi rone lagi apni kismet par…..

Ruhi ne aaguey read kiya:

{ Jab Abhi tayyar ho gaya, change kar liya, hair brush kar liya aur kitchen mein dekha to sirf Ruhi ki mummy thi wahan Ruhi nahin thi, Abhi udaas ho gaya aur socha ke kitchen ke stair par ja kar uss se puche ke Ruhi kidhar hai….

Phir abhi ne socha ke kia Ruhi kahin ghar ke andar se ussko dekh to nahin rahi? Kia ussne jaan bujh kar weisa kiya taake dekh sake ke Abhi ussko dhundta hai ya nahin? To Abhi ghar ke andar dekhne laga, khidkiyon ke paas dekhne laga ke koyi pardah hille, magar kuch nahin dikha aur aakhir mein ussko nikalna pada washroom se. Saeed bhai usska wait kar raha tha bus ke paas.}

Ruhi ne reply likha:

“Abhi aaj mujhe bilkool bhi yaad nahin ke main uss shaam ko kia kar rahi thi, aur kyun aap ke jaane ke waqt wahan nahin thi…. Nahin Abhi main uss din andar se aap ko nahin dekkh rahi thi… ya to main so gayi hogi, ya read kar rahi hogi…. Bilkool yaad nahin…. Pata hai main kabhi baithe baithe 10/15 mins ke liye gehri neendh mein chali jaati hoon…. May be it was that on that day…..”

Aaguey read kiya Ruhi ne:

{ Wahan se ghar jaate waqt bus mein sirf Ruhi ke baare mein sochta gaya, ussko ek ghutan si feel hone laga tha, ek bhaaripan jaisa tha usske seene par, ek bojh feel ho raha tha usse, sirf iss liye ke Ruhi nazar nahin aayi aaj shaam ko. Ruhi ko dil mein basaaye, mann mein bithaaye safar kiya Abhi ne ghar tak.

Aur apni special diary mein sab likhne laga aaj ke din ke baare mein. Khud muskuraate hue likh raha tha ke kiss tarah se aaj Ruhi se baatein hui, kiss tarah uss se puchne gaya tha ke kia usski life mein koyi hai, aur Ruhi ka jawaab bhi likha sab kuch ek ek pal ko likha Abhi ne…….

Sab kuch likhne ke baad bahot der tak sochta raha ke kyun aaj shaam ko Ruhi nazar nahin aayi, yeh baat Abhi ko bahot disturb karne laga tha.

Raat der tak neendh nahin arahe the Abhi ko. Ussko sirf Ruhi nazar arahi thi har jagah. Sote, jaagte, uthte, baithte sirf Ruhi bassa hua tha Abhi ke khayaalon mein, bade mushkil se aankh lagi aur ussko laga ke buss kuch minaton mein subha ho gayi.}

Reply:

“I am very sorry ke aap ko udaas hokar wapas jaana pada tha Abhi, ek din main bhi soch rahi thi aap raat din mere baare mein sochte honge, aur jab aap ne bata diya tha ke har shaam ko aap ke saamne rahun jaate waqt tabse main samajh gayi thi ke aap bus mein jaate waqt raste bhar sirf mujhko sochte hue jaate honge… magar is din ke liye forgive me Abhi…

Aap ne diary mein jaakar sab likha aur main aaj 25 saal baad wo sab padh rahi hoon abhi! Kamaal hai nah?!.....

Aap raat ko so nahin paate the Abhi sirf mere baare mein sochte rehte the oh how nice of you, but aap ki health kharaab ho sakte the Abhi!!?”

Aaguey padha Ruhi ne:

{ Aur wo washroom reach hua. Ruhi ke kitchen mein dekha, khaali tha kitchen. Koyi nahin tha wahan. Subha ke 6 baje the. Kaam to 7 baje start hota hai aur 6 baje Abhi wahan pahunch gaya tha, sirf aur sirf Ruhi ke liye. Log so rahe the aur Abhi kaam ke site par aa chuka tha.

Ab Abhi ko Khushi hoti ke Ruhi ussko apne achche kapdon mein dekhti iss se pehle ke wo kaam karne wala purana kapda pehenta. Abhi subha subha fresh tha, dhoop mein jhulsa hua nahin tha, usska skin fresh tha, shave kiya tha aane se pehle, aftershave lagaya tha, thoda perfume bhi lagaya tha shirt par; ek Wrangler Blue Jeans aur ek safed shirt pehna hua tha. ek pair of khubsurat sport shoes mein tha… To chahta tha ke Ruhi ke saamne weise pesh aaye, taake wo Ruhi ko acha dikhe. Abhi yeh bhi soch kar early aya tha ke 6 se 7 baje tak pura ek ghanta hoga usske paas Ruhi se baat karne ko agar wo saamne aati to…. Magar wo dikh hi nahin rahi thi. Sab se pehla sawaal abhi ko yeh karna tha Ruhi se ke kal shaam ko wo kidhar thi, kyun saamne nahin aayi, aur aaj Abhi Ruhi se yeh request karne wala tha ke aaj se har shaam ko jab usska wapas jaane ka time aaye to Ruhi usske saamne rahe, kitchen ke stairs par present rahe taake Abhi ussko goodbye keh sake, ussko wave kar sake. Yeh kehna tha Abhi ko Ruhi se aaj. Magar wo dikhe tab nah?!}

Reply:

“Abhi aap itne savere aap kaam par ajaate the, thik se sote bhi nahin the sirf mere khaatir, nice of you but bad for your health…. You were too much in love Abhi, but at that time I was not in love with you….. yes, I liked you a lot but was not in love because my mind and heart were elsewhere thinking of lots of things regarding Shweta and my situation and position, so I had no time to fall in love like you did with me Abhi!.....

Abhi aap mere saamne ache kapdon mein rehna chahte the, aap chahte the ke main aap ko unn kapdon mein dekhun jiss se ap travel karke aate ho hmmm, samajhti hoon…. But Abhi, mere liye wo koyi maene nahin rakhta tha… mujhe aap ko unn gande kaam karne waale kapdon mein hi dekhna passand tha…. aap ke kapdon se nahin aap se lagao tha mujhe, aap impress karna chahte the okay, but I was already impressed by the way you were!....

Abhi yeh aap ke liye….. yun samajhiye ke aap ne yeh sab mujhse kaha hai……..

Waqt karta jo wafa aap hamare hote

Hum bhi auron ki tarah aap ko pyare hote

Apni taqdeer mein pehle hi se kuch to gham hai

Apni taqdeer mein pehle hi se kuch to gham hai

Aur kuch aap ki fitrat mein wafaa bhi kum hai

Varna jeeti hui baazi to nah haare hote

Waqt karta jo wafa aap hamare hote….

Hum bhi pyase hein yeh saaki ko bata bhi nah sake

Hum bhi pyase hein yeh saaki ko bata bhi nah sake

Saamne jaam tha aur jam utha bhi nah sake

Kaash hum ghairat -e-mehfil ke nah maare hote

Waqt karta jo wafa….

Dum ghuta jaata hai seene mein, phir bhi zinda hein

Dum ghuta jaata hai seene mein, phir bhi zinda hein

Tumse kia hum to zindagi se bhi sharminda hein

Marr hi jaate nah jo yadon ke sahare hote

Waqt karta jo wafa aap hamaare hote

Hum bhi auron ki tarah aap ko pyare hote

Waqt karta jo wafa.

Ab rone lagi hoon yeh likh kar…..”

Update 72 Replies Of Ruhi​

Ruhi ne Abhi ke diaries padhte hue replies likhna jaari rakha. Aur jiss din usski mummy ussko akeli chorr kar usske nani ke yahan gayi thi Rui ne likha:

“Uss din mummy ne mujhe jaan bujh kar akela chorra tha aap se mujhko baat karne ke liye. Kuch din uss se pehle mummy mujhse puch rahi thi ke kab tak main aap ko dhoke mein rakhungi, mujhe aap ko sab bata dena chahiye iss se pehle ke aap aur aaguey badho. Aur assal mein mummy ne yeh kaha tha ke wo Nani ke paas jaa kar uss Amit ka khabar lekar aegi kyunke Amit ne mere Nani ke ghar par hi mere liye yeh khabar bheja tha ke wo wapas aega to mera haath mangega mere parents se. mere nani se kaha tha mujhko rokne ke liye ke main kissi aur ki proposal ko accept nahin karun. Meri mummy ko wohi ek rishta mere liye thik laga tha varna mujhko kissi adher shadi shuda aadmi ke saath shadi karna tha kyunke main ek bache ki maa thi. Kissi adher aadmi jisski patni marr gayi ho ya divorce ho gaya ho etc. Yahan par mere liye weise hi rishte aate varna ek wohi France wala Rishta mummy ko sahi laga tha.

To jiss din mummy ne mujhse kaha ke nani ke yahan jaa kar Amit ke baare mein puchega kab wo araha hai etc tab main ne munh fulla liya tha, iss liye mummy ne pucha mera kia irada hai tab main ne aap ka naam liya tha to ussne kaha ke kab aap se baat karungi, kab aap ko bataungi apne baare mein.

Tabhi mumy ne decide kiya ke wo nani ke yahan jaegi aur main aap ko lunch par invite karun aur baat karun aap se.

Abhi uss din main ita khush thi aap ke saat ke mujhe aap se wo baat kehkar mood nahin kharaab karna tha. aap itne loving the, mujhse itna pyar kar rahe the, mujh par itna pyar nichavar kar rahe the ke mujhe laga wo baat kehkar main sab kharaab kar dungi issi liye mujhse kuch kaha nahin gaya jitna kaha tha uss se ziada.

Haan Abhi main ne uss black skirt aur white blouse ko aap ke liye hi pehna tha uss roz, aap kitne dinon se mujhko uss mein dekhna chahte the nah? aap ne mujhe usse pehene ko kayi baar kaha tha, jabse aap ne hamare aangan mein kaam karne lage the ek hi baar aap ne mujhe uss mein dekha tha, main aap ko hot lagi thi aap ne kaha tha, aur aap ne likha hai ke kia main ne jaan bujh kar uss dress ko pehna tha aap ke liye, kia main aap ko rijha rahi thi…. The answer is YES Abhi.

Jaise aap mujhko acha dikhna passand karte the obviously main bhi aap ko acha dikhna passand karti thi Abhi…. Normally ladkiyan to ziada sajti sanvarti hai nah apne boyfriend ya apne lover ko khubsurat aur acha dikhne ke liye? To main ne aap ko invite kiya tha, main host thi so I should be looking nice nah? Aur aap ki choice ki dress pehni thi main ne sirf aap ke liye, aap ko khush karne ke liye….

Haan yeh bhi pata tha mujhe ke uss mein main sexy dikhti hoon, main khud ko aine mein dekhti hoon uss dress mein to khud ko pata chalta hai ke kaisi dikhti hoon uss mein…. Issi liye ussko ziada nain pehenti thi, magar aap ke liye pehni thi uss roz…. Magar iss iraade se nahin ke koyi sexual feeling ho, nahin balke sirf iss liye ke aap ko acha dikhun, aap mujhko passand karo.

Haan main yeh bhi jaanti thi ke kuch der pehle main ne nahaya tha aur mere baal bheege hue the, paani ki boondein bhi tapak rahe the baalon se…. wo bhi aap ke liye hi tha…. mujhe yeh bhi pata tha kea ap ko wo passand aega…. Bahot novel padhti hoon nah? to ideas udhar se aate hein (lol)…. Aur phir aap mujhko itna observe karte the mujhko itna sar se paon tak dekhte rehte the ke mujhko yakeen tha aap ko zaroor dikhega ke mere baal bheege hue hein kyunke milne se pehle aap se keh diya tha nah ke nahane jaungi….

Ab aap ne describe kiya ke main kaisi dikh rahi thi aap ko aur aap ke feelings kia ho rahe the…. Aap akarshit ho rahe the sexually yeh mujhe pata nahin tha aur mera irada bhi wo nahin tha Abhi….

Uss romantic lunch ko main kabhi nahin bhoolungi Abhi. Jiss tarah se aap ne mere haath se ek niwala khilaane ko kaha tha, aur main ne apne niwale ko aap ne munh mein dala tha… that was very romantic for me…. Main ne life mein kissi ladke ko apnaa niwala kabhi nahin khilaya hai you were the only one Abhi! Aur aap ne wo sab exacly weisa hi likha aur describe kiya hai ke padhte waqt mujhko lag raha tha main sab kuch dekh rahi hoon aur feel kar rahi hoon… I was smiling reading all that Abhi.

Aap ne kaha tha agar main uss din aap ko andar nahin aane deti to aap mujhe goad mein utha ke andar laate, to main ne pucha tha ke kia aap mujhko utha sakte ho aur jiss tarah aap ne mujhe goad mein uthaya tha Abhi…wo bhi kissi aadmi ne mujhe kabhi nahin uthayatha aaj tak aap ke ilawa…. Aap ne wo dobara kiya kal mujhko wheelchair se utha kar sofe par rakha tha weise hi…. Magar uss din was the first time someone lifted me up in his arms that way…. I can never forget those moments Abhi. Thank you very much for making me feel special on that day Abhi. Kal jab aap ne mujhe wheel chair se utha kar sofe par rakha to mujhe normal feel hua, aisa laga wo aap ka haq tha mujhe uss tarah sse uthana aur rakhna…. Jaise ke wo weisa hi hona chahiye tha…..

Uss din aap ne mujhko bed par leytaya tha Abhi aur mere ankle ko kiss kiya tha aur main ne jhat se tang upar uthaya tha aur aap ke naak mein lag gayi thi….. And Abhi let me tell you one thing today… Abhi you are a very good kisser. No one ever kissed me that way ever in my life till date. We were lying over the bed, you made me pull the curtains and over the curtain cloth I had put two heavy books so that the curtain won’t move out with the wind and you had started kissing me…… I shivered still loved your touches very much.

Yeh kaha tha aap ne:

{ “Ruhi jiss din main ne tumko iss skirt aur blouse mein dekha tha ussi waqt apne ghutnon ke bal aakar tumhare tangon ko baahon mein bharke chumne ka mann kiya tha aaj wohi karne jaa raha hoon….”}

Main chhup ho gayi thi aur aap ke honton ko feel karti gayi thi saath saath aap ka haath mere skirt ke niche mere jaanghon ke upar chalta jaa raha tha….. main uth baithi thi aap ke haath ko rokte hue aur aap ne kaha tha:

{“I wish to explore you sweetheart, want to see deep inside you, want to feel you, wish to see how the colour of your skin changes under your skirt, please let me do!”}

Abhi, you had licked my nipple on that day…… do you know how I had felt? Had you thought what was going on within me? Mujh par kia beet rahi thi kaise samjhaun aap ko main….. main khud ko agar nahin sambhaalti to shaayad uss din behtar hota…. Mujhe aap ko rokna nahin chahiye tha…. I should have let you go ahead….. I regret having stopped you on that day Abhi….. your touches made me tremble, my whole body was on fire, I needed it as much as you, no one ever aroused me ever that way in my life. You were the only man who made me feel the need of making love….. I wanted it but had to control myself Abhi…… I was afraid also because I had erred in the past in my teenage so could not let same mistake happen again, that is Why I had to stop you. Despite that you kept on asking again and again to let you do I had to refuse…. Sorry Abhi!

Aur uss din ko aap se sirf itna keh paayi thi ke kia agar main ne koyi ghalati kiya hai to kia aap mujhko maaf karoge….

Iss se ziada nahin keh paayi thi, rone lagi thi aur aap ko mummy se puchne ko kaha tha……

I had spoiled the lovely moments we were having by asking you that on that day. It was not the appropriate time to ask that. Sorry again Abhi.

Dusre din aap ka pehla love letter mila tha mujhe Abhi jissko main ne aaj tak sambhaal kar rakha hua hai. Ap ne uss mein ikraar kiya tha kea ap mujhse behad pyar karte ho aur. Sunbha 3.30 ko likha tha aap nen uss khat ko aur subha 4 baje sone gaye the aap aur kuch der baad savera ho gaya tha aur yahan chale aaye the early in the morning hamesaha ki tarah.

Abhi uss din aap ka khat padhi main ne aur bahut royi thi, kyunke ek din pahle jab mummy nani ke ghar se wapas aayi thi to bahot kuch bhua tha jo aap ko nahin bataya gaya tha.

Mehboob ka bahot bada haath tha mummy ke saath milkar mujhko jhukaane mein. Main Mehboob se darrti thi. Kyunke main ne pehle ghalatiyan kiye the aur papa desh mein nahin tha aur ussko hum sab ka khayal rakhne ke liye keh gaya tha to Mehboob mujh par nazar rakhta tha meri uss ek ghalatti ke liye aur mummy se kehta rehta ke mujh par kadi nazar rakhna chahiye kahin baahar nahin jaane dena chahiye, kissi se milne nahin dena chahiye, wo nahinchahta tha ke main koyi aur weisa kadam uthaaun. Wo samajhta tha ke main Gaurav se pyar karti hoon aur usske saath kabhi bhaag jaungi, mujhko bahot sunata tha wo aksar… aur meri aadat thi hi nahin kissi bade ko jawaab dena aur wo pita ki tarah hi the to main khamosh rehti thi, magar mumy aur wo mujhko aise treat karte the jaise main ek bahot bada gunehgaar hoon.

Aur main khud ko guhengaar samajhne lagi thi, main khud dab kar rehna passand karne lagi thi, main samajhti thi ke mujhko jo gunah hua hai usski wohi saza thi keg har walon ke baton ko maanun aur wohi karun jo wo log kahe….

Aap se milne se pehle main pichle 6/7 saalon tak mummy aur Mehboob ke saare baton ko maanti ayi thi. Main teenager se adult ho bhi gayi tab bhi unn donon ke baton ko maanti thi. Wo sab karti thi jo weh log kehte the…. Jab main ne silaayi seekhna chaha to Mehbob nahin razi tha ke main jaun uss sheher mein silaayi seekhne… ussne mummy se kaha tha main phir bhatak jaungi, kuch ghalat karungi….

Magar mummy khud mujhe lekar gayi thi pehli baar udhar aur udhar ka supermarket wala chacha ke jaan pehchaan wali thi silaayi seekhane wali aur ussko mujh par nazar rakhne ko kaha gaya tha…..

Mehboob bhi bus driver/owner tha to aksar ussi ke bus se aati jaati thi aur himmat bhi nahin hoti ke kissi aur ke taraf dekhun ya kissi se baat karun…. Main unn logon ke vishwaas jeetna chahti thi kuch ghalat nah karke iss liye seedha silaayi seekhne jaati aur seedha ghar wapas aati….

Jiss din aap ne pucha tha ke kidhar silaayi seekhne jaati hoon to aap ko bataate bataate ruk gayi thi usska reason yehi tha.. ke agar aap ko bata diya to kissi din aap mujhse milne ajaate aur idhar sabko pata chalta to Mehboob aur mummy kehte ke dekho firse wohi tamasha kar rahi hai Ruhi!! Buss issi liye aap ko nahin bataya tha ke kidhar jaati thi silaayi seekhne Abhi. Ab aap batao agar main bataati aap ko to aap mujhse milne aate nah hai ke nahin? Pakka aate aap mujhe pata hai!..... magar aap ke chale jaane ke baad 5th January ke baad main sochne lagi kaash main ne aap ko bata diya hota, to aap uss date ke baad mujhse milne to aate…. Kyunke uss date ke baad sirf aur 3 Saturdays ko gayi thi wahan phir jaana chorr diya!!

Haan to jab mummy nani ke yahan se wapas aayi thi uss roz wo seedhe Mehboob se mili aur kaha ke udhar Amit ne phone kiya tha nani ke ghar aur mere baare mein pucha tha, kaha tha ke 4 mahine baad wapas araha hai aur mujhse shaadi karke lejayega mujhko apne saath!

Mehboob aur mummy ne mujhko bahot sunaya uss raat ko…. Din mein aap se mili aur jitna khush thi utna hi royi uss raat ko mummy ke aane ke baad. Mehboob aur mummy ne milkar mujhko samjhaya ke mujhko ab aap se door rehna chahiye aur Amit ke saath shaadi karke chale jaana chahiye….

Mehboob aur mummy ne mujhko bahot sunaya uss raat ko…. Din mein aap se mili aur jitna khush thi utna hi royi uss raat ko mummy ke aane ke baad. Mehboob aur mummy ne milkar mujhko samjhaya ke mujhko ab aap se door rehna chahiye aur Amit ke saath shaadi karke chale jaana chahiye….

Ab aaguey….

Ruhi ne llikhna Jaari rakha….

“Abhi magar ek baat thi jo aap ko unn dinon bilkool samajh mein nahin aya tha, wo yeh ke Mehboob mujhko istemaal kar raha tha aap se apne bus ke kaam niklawaane ke liye.

Yaad hai jiss din aap aur Saeed mein ladaayi hui thi, to Mehboob ne hi mujhe aap ko ek taraf lejaane ko kaha tha aap ko shant karne ke liye? That day was our first kiss day. Main aap ko ghar ke piche wale kone mein legayi thi….. Ussi din ko jab aap ghar wapas chale gaye the to Mehbob aya tha hamare yahan aur maa ke samne uss ne mujhe aap se meethi meethi baat karne ko, aap ko apne pyar mein uljhaane ko kaha tha, maa se bhi ussne kaha mujhko aap ke karib jaane dene ke liye, maa bhi mili hui thi Mehboob ke saath aap ko baandhne rakhne ke liye meri muhabat mein, donon ko pata chal chuka tha ke aap ko mujh se pyar ho gaya hai, Saeed ne shayad mehbob se keh diya tha ke aap aksar absent rehte ho, Mondays ho kaam par nahin aate ho to Mehboob ne kaha tha ke usska kaam delay hoga agar aap absent rahe to, kyunke aap sabse fast kaam karte the, Saeed se bhi ziada kaam karte the aap, to Mehboob ko aap ki zaroorat thi to ussne mujhse help maanga tha ke main aap ko lubhaoon, ke aap se baat karun ke main aap ko rijhaun taake aap har roz kaam par aaye!.........

Magar Abhi main weisa kuch karna nahin chaahti thi, buss aap se batein karti thi, aap ke karib aati thi aur jiss din pehli bar aap ne mujhse kaha tha ke aap ke jaane ke waqt main kitchen ke chaukath par rahun uss din ko main ne Mehboob se keh diya tha ke aap ne weisa kaha hai, to wo khush hua tha aur uss ne bhi mujhko wohi karne ko kaha, ussne kaha dekho wo jaate hue tumko mudh kar dekhega, aashik hai to khush kardo, yahan khade rehne se tumhara kia jaata hai….

Abhi aap ko lubhaate lubhaate main khud aap se pyar kar baithi thi, aap mein kuch tha jo yahan kissi mein nahin tha, main Mehboob ke liye aap ko nahin rokti thi, main aap ko apne khud ke liye rokne lagi thi, jiss raat ko aap ko rehne ke liye kaha tha wo meri apni marzi thi, wo main chahti thi halaan ke Mehboob ko pata tha ke aap hamare ghar ruke hue ho aur aap samajh rahe the ke ussko nahin pata tha, ussko aur Rahima donon ko pata tha ke aap uss raat ko hamare yahan ruke ho….

Aap ko yeh bhi nahin pata ke Manoj ghussa hua tha aap ke rukne se jab aap nahane chale gaye the… aur ussi waqt Mehboob ne Manoj ko samjhaya tha ke Aap ko kuch nah kahein yeh uss ke kehne se meri maa ne aap ko rukne ko kaha…. Assal mein main ne aap ko roka tha uss raat ko. Dusre din Mehboob aur manoj mein behez hui thi iss baat ko lekar, manoj Mehboob se oonchi awaaz mein baat kiya tha aur ussko kaha tha ke agar aap ko ghar par rokna hai to wo aap ko apne ghar men rokein hamare yahan nahin.

Abhi aap ne yeh likha hai apne diary mein

{“I am waiting for that day when Ruhi will be here on this bed together with me and I will make her read all this. She will then read and know what I was going through the days I worked in her yard. Those were the most beautiful days of my life which I will never forget. I met love, I met the one I was waiting for, I met my soul mate in that yard. And I am grateful to God and my job. If I was not doing this job I would never have gone there, would have never known her, would have never met her….”}

To answer this Abhi I have to say that I have been the most unfortunate person to have lost you and your true love. You loved me so dearly with all your heart, you longed for me, you wanted me, but my love was fake in the beginning, I was playing with you for the sake of Mehboob, I was retaining you, but when I started liking you and wanted to be with you it seemed to be late, still I did try but they were stronger than me; my mother and Mehboob, they were the ones pulling the string, I was a mere puppet! …. You met love, you met your soul mate you have written but I did not deserve your true love Abhi, because YOUR love was sincere and TRUE whereas mine was fake… that is why the God whom you thanked, did not allow that to happen because the God knew I was fake and did not deserve your love!

Mere papa:

Aap ne pucha tha uss din jab papa ka phone aya tha ke wo kaisa inssaan hai. Main ne aap ko bataya tha ke wo makhan hai…. Sach mein wo weisa hi hai… uss ghar mein papa patni hai aur maa pati hai…..

Mere papa ek aisa insaan hai jo bachpan se jhuka raha hai… bahut khamosh, usski awaaz tak thik se sunaayi nahin dete…. Meri dadi ne bataya tha mujhe ke papa to itna Sharmila tha ke shaadi bhi nahin karna chahta tha…. he was too shy a peron.

Baad mein dada dadi ne usski shaadi karwa diye to maa mil gayi ussko aur jald hi maa ko pata chal gaya ke wo kaisa insaan hai so she started dominating papa and she had always been the head of the family not papa… papa was always too cool, silent, never raised his voice and mummy took advantage of his silence to dominate him….. papa was a person who could never take a decision, so his wife always decided and she ruled over him all her life. He is a very nice person indeed, but too cool and silent for a woman like my mother. My mother should never have been his wife.

Abhi jab maa nani ke yahan se wo news lekar aayi ke Amit 4 mahine baad ane wala hai mujh se shaadi karke mujhe apne saath lejaane ke liye, to sach kahun to mujhe wo chaka chaund, foreign desh, France, Paris, plane se safar karna, amir desh mein rehna yeh sab of course bahot assar kiya tha mujh par… aap ke aane se pehle main ussi sapne mein jine lagi thi ke mujhe France jana hai, koyi Amit hai jo mujhe shaadi karke le jaega apne saath. Mujhe laga tha kudrat ne mere liye wohi decide kiya hai, issi liye mujhse wo ghalati hui thi teenage mein kyunke mujhe uss ghalati ko yahan chorr kar chale jana hai….

Shweta:

Aap se ek baat kahun….. jaise jaise Shweta badi hoti gayi mujhe uss se nafrat hone lagi….. main uss se door rehne lagi thi, iss liye ke usski vajah se mere future mein baadha padne lage the.. mujhe koyi proposal nahin aate the, mujhe kissi adher aadmi se shaadi karni padti sirf Shweta ki existence ki vajah se…. baby thi tab uss se lagao tha, jab wo 2 saal ki hui to main uss se bilkool door hone lagi… Shweta se main ne jaan bujh kar cut off kar liya tha, wo aati to thi magar ziada tar meri maa aur Manoj ya Mahesh ke saath rehti thi, bahot kum mere saath kyunke ussko pata chal chuka tha main ussko passand nahin karti….. Shweta ko mujhse koyi sneh ya pyar nahin mila tha kyunke main uss se nafrat jo karne lagi thi aur wo Shweta ko dikhne laga tha…. kabhi kabhi to wo school vacation mein 2 hafton ke liye rehne aati thi aur unn do hafton mein ek din bhi main ne ussko gale nahin lagaya… do hafton mein ek ya do din uss se baat kiye main ne…. sirf jab aap yahan the tab main uss ke saath thoda khelti thi taake aap ko koyi shak nah ho!! varna Shweta se mai hamesha door rahi…… usski ek vajah aur thi, ke main desh chorr kar door jaane wali thi to uss se bichadne par mujhe dukh nah ho iss liye bhi door rahi thi uss se….. shweta ko bachpan se pata tha ke main ussko passand nahin karti thi…. Yeh wo jaanti thi.

Aur jab Shweta 18 ki hui aur ussko pata chala ke ussko janam dene wali maa main hoon to ussne mujhe wo sab yaad dilaya ke main kiss tarah uss se door rehti aur uss se nafrat karti thi… Shweta ek alag hi bachi thi, ussko bachpan ke saare baat yaad hein aaj bhi… ussko aap bhi yaad ho bahot achi tarah, wo kewal unn dinon 6/7 ki thi magar ussko sab bilkool saaf yaad hai… Shweta ki brain ajeeb hai usski intelligence fast kaam karti hai ussko sab kuch yaad rehta hai…. Wo 3 saal ki thi to kia hua tha ussko saaf yaad hai aur bata deti hai… mere sheher wale chaha heyraan tha ek din ussne bataya tha ke shweta ko wo kissi ke ghar legaya tha kissi kaam se jab Shweta 3 saal ki thi, uss aadmi ke ghar mein ek jhumar tha aur ek wall clock jo bajta tha… Shweta jab 12 saal ki thi to ek din uss wall clock aur jhumar ke baare mein puch rahi thhi mere chacha se aur uss aadmi ka hulya bilkool clear describe kiya tha uss ne….. Shweta ko bachpan se adult wale feelings hote the, ussko sab kuch 100% pata chalta tha ke kia ho raha hai……

Pata hai aap ko? Jiss din aap mere chachi ke ghar mujhe dhundte hue aaye the to Shweta wahin thi nah… aap ke jaane ke baad Shweta mujhse naraaz hui thi aur mujhe gandi kaha tha uss ne… ek badi adult ki tarah danta tha mujhko Shweta ne. main dang reh gayi thi. Mujhse kaha tha ke aap kaisa insaan ho, Abhi aap se itna pyar karta hai aur aap yahan andar baithi rahi ussko yahan se chiilla kar jawaab nahin de sakti thi? Wo ro raha tha aap ke liye aur aap ko kuch nahin hua? Aap ke feelings hi nahin hai, stone hearted ho aap. Kaash Abhi mujhse se pyar karta aur main aap ki jagah hota to ussko kabhi nahin jaane deta uss se zaroor shaadi karti main…… ek 6/7 saal ki ladki aise baatein keh sakti hai? Mujhe jhatka laga tha Shweta ki baat se uss roz…..

Aur jab ussko pata chal gaya ke main usski maa hoon, mujhse yahan jhagadne aayi thi tab bhi aap ko mention kiya tha uss ne…. kaha tha ke bhagwaan ne mujhe issi liye sazaa diya kyunke main ne aap ka dil dukhaya tha…..wo sab jo hua tha usske bachpan mein sab yaad tha ussko 18 saal ki hui tab bhi… aap ko bahot passand karti hai usski baton se laga tha mujhe tab bhi keh gayi thi ke aap usse milo to wo aap se shaadi kar legi…. Main ne ussko bataya ke aap shadi shuda ho already to wo maan nahin rahi thi keh rahi thi ke main jhoot bol rahi hoon… aur mujhse kaha ke ussi din se wo aap se pyar karne lagi thi jiss din aap ko mere liye rote dekha tha usske yahan.. aap se sach mein bahot pyar karti hai…. Kyun nah ho aap ho hi pyar ke kaabil… usko aap ka pyar dikh gaya tha Abhi mujhe nahin dikha tha kitni andhi thi main?! January 1987 mein jab wo aayi thi hamare yahan New year ke mauke par to aap ko dhund rahi thi, jab usskko pata chala tha ke aap ab yahan kabhi nahin aoge kaam khatam ho gaya to bahot royi thi, mujhse puchne aayi thi ke ab kaise wo aap se mil paegi? Aap kidhar rehte ho ussko aap ke yahan lejaane ko kaha tha mujhe!!! Mujhe bhi rula diya tha ussne aap ki yaad dila kar…. Main uss se kehne wali thi ke aap 4/5 ya 7th ko aane wale the, magar shukar hai ke nahin kaha kyunke agar wo hoti aur usske saamne Manoj ne aap ko weise nikala hota to kia guzarti uss par?

Magar ussko baad mein sab pata chal hi gaya aakhir…. Kuch mahine baad wo mujhse bahot naraaz hui thi ke kyun main ne aap ko nahin roka tha jab manoj ne aap ko ghar se nikala tha. pata hai Shweta ne kia kaha tha Abhi? Ussne kaha tha ke agar wo Ruhi hoti to ghar se turant bhaag kar aap ke piche jaati aur iss ghar ko chorr kar hamesha ke liye aap ke sath chali jaati…. Uss umar mein Shweta ka wo kehna tha aap ke liye!!! Wo bahot hi intelligent thi. Ek adult wali brain thi usske paas bachpan se hi. Sach pucho to mere dil mein aap ke liye ziada pyar Shweta ne jagaayi thi Abhi…. Ek baat kahuna ap se? jab 18 ki hone ke baad Shweta aap ke liye ro kar mujhse keh rahi thi ke wo aap se shadi karegi to mere dimaagh mein yeh baat ayi tha ke agar aap ne shaadi nahin kiya hota to main aap ko Shweta se shadi karne ko kehti… aap sirf 15 saal uss se bade ho, handsome to ho hi wo 18 ki thi 20 ki hoti tab aap 35 ke hote to ziada farak dikhta hi nahin, kyunke wo aap ko itna chahti thi main ne aap ka Rishta Shweta se bhi soch liya tha….. main jo nahin kar paayi thi, jo kami main ne chorra tha aap ki life mein wo kami apni beti se puri karwati main aap ke liye….. aap bhi ussko bahot passand karte the nah Abhi? Hmmm? Mujhe yaad hai, aap ne kaha tha wo bilkool meri tarah dikhti thi aap ko, aur ek baat kahun? Wo sach mein meri tarah hi hai…. Magar mujhse hazaar guna ziada intelligent, honshiyaar hai, daring hai, aap ki aur usski khub banti… aap ko uss se zaroor milna chahiye, mujhe yakeen hai ke uss se milkar aap bahot khush honge aur wo to uchal padegi…

Main kia keh rahi thi aur kia kehne lagi….. shweta yaad agayi bich mein ….. haan to uss din ke baad mummy aur Mehboob ne ab mujhe aap se doorie rakhne ko kaha kyunke Amit ane wala tha…. issi liye uss din ke baad main aap se distance banaane lagi thi magar ussi din aap ko mujhe apna love letter bhi dena tha jiss ne mujhe pighla diya tha aur main kashmakash mein pad gayi thi ke ab main kia karun!!!

Jiss din shaam ko main Mahesh, Farzina aur ek cousin ke saath baith kar aap ko suna rahi thi ke aap kia samajhte ho ke main aap se shaadi karungi, wo sab aap ko discourage karne ke liye tha, aap ko khud se door karne ke liye tha, aap ke dil mein mere liye nafrat paida karne ke liye tha magar aap ka pyar mazbut tha aur aap mujhse phir bhi aur bhi ziada pyar karte gaye, aap ka pyar ghatta nahin badhta gayaa mere liye aur main bebuss lachaar ulajhti gayi ke kia karun….. Aap aur Amit mein se mujhe ek ko chunna tha main samajh nahin paa rahi thi ke kia karun…. Mummy aur Mehboob ka kehna tha ke aap mujhse nafrat karoge jab aap ko pata chalega ke main ek bachi ki maa hoon…. Tabhi main ne decide kiya ke aap ko ab batana hoga….

Magar sirf itna bata paayi ke I am not a virgin aur aap ne to keh hi diya ke chaahe main ek bachchi ki maa hoon tab bhi aap mujhse shaadi karne ke liye tayaar ho….

Wo kehne se pehle main ne maa aur Mehboob se shart lagaayi thi ke aap mujhse phir bhi nafrat nahin karoge, aur uss roz maa ke saamne jab khidki ke paas aap rone ke karib the aur main aap se ziada rone lagi thi, aur aap ne mummy se piche ka darwaza kholne ko kaha tha, to main ne khola tha…. kia aap ko yaad hai uss roz uss se pehle Mehboob aur Rahima ne aap se kia kaha tha?

Rahima ne kaha tha ke aap hamare yahan rehne wale ho aur Mehboob ne kaha tha ke achchi baat hai subha ko jaldi kaam shuru kar doge? Yaad hai Abhi? Ussi din; din mein meri shart lagi thi mummy aur Mehboob se ke aap mujhse nafrat nahin karoge sab jaanne ke baad bhi…. Aur issi liye Mehboob ko pata tha ke aap se mujhe wo sab kehna hai shart ke anusaar mujhe pata lagana hai ke agar aap ko mere baare mein pata chala to aap kia karoge….

Aur uss raat ko main ne aap ko apne ghar roka tha yeh jaane ke baad ke aap phir bhi mujhse shaadi karoge chahe main ek bachchi ki maa bhi hui…. Mujhe wo kehne ki zaroorat hi nahin padi, aap ne wo keh bhi diya phir bhi main ne aap se stupidly pucha tha ke what if I am not a virgin…. Mujhe yehi kehna tha kyunke main ne wohi puchne ko plan kiya tha….. uss din aap ne mera dil jeet liya tha aur main shart bhi jeet gayi thi…. Mummy tabhi disappoint ho gayi thi issi liye aap ko ghar par rehne diya tha…. jab aap nahane gaye the to meri uss se baat hui thi Manoj se baat hone ke baad. Main ne mummy se kaha tha ke main shart jeet gayi aur Abhi mujhse phir bhi shaadi karne ke liye tayyaar hai chahhe main ek bachchi ki maa bhi hoon tab bhi suna aap ne!..... uss raat ko to mummy ne kuch nahin kaha tha uss raat wo aap ke favour mein thi magar dusre din Mehboob aur ussne phir baat kiye the aur weh donon Amit ke favour mein the.

Abhi uss raat ko main aap se humbistar hona chahti thi…. Pata hai kyun? Iss liye ke aap uss din mujhse wo karna chahte the jiss din lunch karne aaye the tab main ne aap ko mana kiya tha iss liye uss raat ko aap ko compensate karna chahti thi….. jab aap ne mujhe baahon mein bharke kiss kiya tha to meri rooh kaamp gayi thi….. main ne teenage mein jo sex kiya tha tab kuch sexual feeling kuch bhi nahin hua tha, magar uss raat aap ke saath real sexual feeling kia hota hai tab pata chala tha, arousal kia hota hai, envy aur desire kia hota hai tab pata chala tha, usski gehraayi se ehsaas hui thi aur usski zaroorat bhi feel hui thi… aap ne itni badi baat keh diye the ke aap ko apna tan, mann sab dene ka mann kar raha tha mujhe, uss raat ko real love aur sexual pleasure feel karne ko man kar raha tha mera, aap ko chorrne ko bilkool mann nahin kar raha tha, mann kar raha tha ke raat bhar aap mere saath sote. Mere baahon mein rehte raat bhar…. Magar uss raat ko aap ajeeb the, uss raat ko aap wo nahin chahte the jo main chaahti thi….. Abhi agar uss raat ko aap ne mere saath sex kar liya hota to main ussi raat ko decide kar liya tha kabhi bhi Amit ko accept nahin karti, main uss raat ko tan aur mann se aap ki ho jaati….

Magar dusre din ko sab gadbad hone laga tha Abhi…. Main to aap ke liye rehna chahti thi magar mummy aur Mehboob bilkool nahin chahte the… weh donon mujhse tab kehne lage the ke aap ke parents kabhi nahin accept karenge ke bachi wali ladki ke saath apne bete ki shaadi karaayen…. Aap ke parents kabhi nahin accept karte ye sab keh keh kar unn donon ne mere dimaagh chaat liye the ke main bhi tang aagayi thi aur Amit ko priority dene lagi aur aap se dobara doorie rakhne lagi thi….

Issi liye aap ko mere response controversial lage honge ke main ne aap se ek baar kaha tha ke haan Amit hai phir kaha tha ke sab jhoot hai, meri virginity ki vajah se main jhoot bol rahi thi aur phir wapas kaha tha ke haan Amit hai…..

Aur phir mera jana hua ta Nani ke ghar…. Dar assal, nani, maasi aur mama logon ne uss roz mummy se kaha tha mujhe lekar wahan aane ke liye. Aur Abhi jab main wahan gayi thi to mera itna brainwashing kiya gaya tha ke kia bataun… uff…. Mujhe almost paagal bana diya tha sab ne wahan…. Amit ki itni taarif karte the sab ke jaise wo koyi raja maharajah hai… usski sister aur mother ko bulaya gaya tha mujhse milne ke liye, mujhko hausla dilaane ke liye ke Amit mere lite perfect choice hai…. Mujhko Amit ki photis dikhaaye gaye the, France mein Eifel tower ke paas ke usski tasveerein aur Paris mein pata nahin kiss kiss jagah mein usski li hui pics dikhaaye gaye the…. Mujhko jaise force kiya jaa raha tha ke main ussi ko chose karun aap ko nahin…. Waha sabko pata chal chuka tha ke aap mujhko chahte ho aur main duvidha mein hoon ke Amit ko select karun ya aap ko…..

Aur Nani aur mama ne mujhse aur mummy se kayi baar kaha ke wahan par jitney bhi log wo kaam karte hein jo aap karte ho most of the time sab ke sab bekaar rehte hein, unn ke paas kaam nahin hota, to sab kehte ke aap bhi weisa hi rahoge shaadi ke baad aur mera bura haal hoga aap ke saath.. mere 3 mama hein wahan aur 2 maasi… sabke sab mujhe convince kiye ke aap ko drop karun, aap se pyar nah karun aur Amit ko select karun….

Abhi sab bade the, mere apne the, main kia karti? Badon ko sunna padta hai nah…. main nahin kehti ke main ne argue nahin kiya, bahot argue kiya sabse kaha ke aap mujhse tab bhi shaadi karne ko tayyar ho halaan ke meri ek beti hai, aap mujhse sach mein pyar karte ho main khud gawah hoon yeh sab kaha main ne unn sabse…. Maa ne bhi kaha sab se ke aap dhit ho aap mujhko pagalon ki tarah pyar karte ho…. mummy kabhi kabhi aap ka side le rahi thi keh rahi thi ke kaise bhi ho aap to saamne ho, aap dikh rahe ho aur saaf dikhta hai ke aap kitna pyar karte ho mujhse… magar mama logon ne mummy ko danta yeh kehte hue ke apni khud ki beti ko kunwe mein dhakelna chahti ho?

Mujhko wahan se convince karke bheja gaya tha ke main aap se door ho jaun….

Issi liye nani ke ghar se wapas ane ke baad main aap se aur bhi door ho gayi thi….. magar jis din aayi thi ussi din aap ko main ne pehli baar I LOVE YOU kaha tha….wo sirf iss liye ke mujhe pata tha ab wo aap ko kabhi nahin keh paungi, kyunke mujhko to Amit ke saath jana hoga iss liye socha ek baar to keh doon…..

Phir usske baad har roz aap se thoda thoda door hoti gayi mai aap ko ghar ke andar se chhup chhup kar dekhti thi, bahot dukh hota tha aap ki haalat dekh kar, magar aap seeti bajaate, mujhe bulaate, main andar roti dil pat patthar rakh kar roti, kabhi aa bhi jaati thi, magar mummy dantti, Mehboob mujhko mote mote aankhon se dekhti, wapaas andar jaane ko ishara karta wo…. Main ghut ghut ke rehti thi ghar ke andar…..

Aur papa aya… ussi raat ko sab phir nani ke ghar gaye the yaad hai nah? phir wohi baat… wahan iss liye gaye the ke papa se wo log ab kahe ke mujhe aap se door rakhe aap ki proposal ko wo accept nah kare… papa to thehre yes man wo kia kaarta jo kuch ussko bolne ko kaha gaya wohi kaha ussne….

Aur aap ki kaam ki last day aane wala tha.. to nani ke yahan sabne mummy aur papa se kaha ke mujhko wahan se hatta diya jaaye taake last day ko main wahan rahun hi nahin aur aap kuch keh nah sake kissi se…. mujhko to pata tha ke aap papa se mera haath mangne wale ho, magar nani ke ghar yeh bhi pata chal gaya tha ke papa aap ko refuse karega kyunke nani ke ghar se ussko yehi order mila…..

To uss din ko main jaane wali thi issi liye farzina se khabar bheja tha aap ke paas ke main jaane wali hoon apni behen ke saath…. Mujhe pata tha mere jaane se pehle aap zaroor baat karne aoge mujhse… aur jab main kanghi kar rahi thi to aap ko khidki se issi liye dekh rahi thi jaane ke liye ke aap ko pata chala bhi ke nahin…. Aur aap aaye the khidki ke paas jaise main expect kar rahi thi…..

Uss roz main bahot ajeeb thi nah? yehi likha hai aap ne apni diary mein… padha main ne….. haan main thi bahot strange… apne dil par yun samajh lijiye ke main ne ek pahaad rakha hua tha aap se uss tarah se behave karne ke liye…. Ghar par mujhko maa, papa, didi, Mehboob, mere behnoy sab mujh par chadh rahe the ke main bilkool nah rowun aur aap se bold pesh aaun, yeh dikhaun ke aap se bilkool pyar nahin karti…. Magar sabko, didi aur bro in law ko bhi pata tha ke main aap se kitna pyar karne lagi thi… main bahot royi thi uss din jaane se pehle… didi se puchna…. Main itni royi thi ke mere dum ghutne lage the, main saans nahin le paa rahi thi yahan tak ke brother in law ne kaha tha ke meri aur aap ki shaadi kar diya jaaye…

Jab aap khidki se baat kar rahe the, to ek aadmi tha jiska dil ro raha tha aap ko dekh kar wo meri didi ka husband tha…. wo aap ke pyar ko samajhta tha.. sab wahan milkar aap ko discourage karne ke liye aaye hue the…. Jab aap ne papa ko bulwaya to ussne kaha ke wo mujhe lekar apne sath lejaane wale hein mujhko pata tha ke aap ko bilkool bhi yakeen nahin tha aap ko pata tha ke wo jhoot tha, mujhe sab pata tha, phir bhi mujhko wohi bolna pada tha kyunke papa wohi kehne wala tha aap se.. aur jab aap ne kaha tha ke aap mera intezaar akroge aur didi ne pucha ke kab tak wait karoge to aap ne kaha tha zindagi bhar mujhe itna zor se rone ka mann kiya tha uss waqt ke samajh mein nahin aya tha ke kia karun….. tab papa ne aap se kaha tha ke Amit ko zubaan de chuke hein matlab aap ko kissi kimat par yeh kehna tha ke NAHIN -NO. NAHIN HO SAKTA AAP KI SHAADI RUHI SE….. yehi kehna aur batana tha aap ko…. AAP KA DIL TODNA THA, AAP KE DIL PAR EK KHANJAR CHALAANA THA, AAP KE DIL SE KHOON BAHANA THA…AUR SAARE ILZAAM MUJHKO APNE UPAR LENA THA…. AAP KE DIL KE TUKDE MAIN NE KIYE, AAP KO DHOKA MAIN NE DIYA, AAP SE DAGHA MEIN NE KIYA…SAB MUJHKO APNE UPAR LEKAR WAHAN SE JAANA THA AUR WAPAS TAB ANA THA JAB AAP YAHAN HONGE HI NAHIN…..AAP SE MAAFI MAANGNE KA BHI ADHIKAAR NAHIN THA MERE PAAS…. Samajhlo ke mere kaandhe par bandook rakh kar aap ke dil par seinron goliyan chalaya gaya tha aur mujhe sab dekhte hue hanssna tha…. yehi kiya gaya tha aap ke saath uss din Abhi aur haan main sab dekhti rahi unn sab ka saath deti rahi main bhi……

Iss sab ka gehra ehsaas mujhe tab hua jiss din aap Shweta ke ghar ro rahe the meri chachi se sab kehte hue….. main khamoshi se ro rahi thi aap ko sunte hue…. Phir bhi main ne aap ko nahin roka chachi ka khayal karte hue ke wo aap ke saamne jhooti nah kehlaaye….

Aur haan uss roz jab main jaa rahi thi aur aap bus ke piche ke darwaaze se kud kar mujhko baahon mein bhar ke kiss karne aaye the uss ek pal ko main bhool gayi thi ke main main hoon…. Main ro rahi thi aap ki haalat dekh kar bus mein…. Mujhe aap ko chorr kar jaane ko bilkool bhi mann nahi tha, mujhe pata tha ke uss din ke baad uss aangan mein aap phir kabhi nahin dikhoge… mujhe yakeen tha ke uss raat ko aap ne kissi bhi time ko kaam end kiya mujhse zaroor miloge, mujhe uss waqt ka intezaar tha, magar main khud aap ko chorr kar jaa rahi thi…. To jis waqt aap ne mujhko baahon mein thaama main bilkool pighal gayi aur sab kuch bhool kar aap ke kiss ko respond kiya, goli maar diya tha sabko main ne uss ek pal ko Abhi kyunke ek last kiss aap ko karna banta tha…. aap ko yaad hai maa ko main ne kaise jawaab diya tha ke haan shooting chal rahi hai film ki….. I did not care at all at that moment… mujh mein ek ajib si shakti aayi thi jiss pal ko aap ne mujhko baahon mein liya tha sabke saamne open mein…. Aap ki daring ki daat deri hoon Abhi. You are a TRUE MAN!.... magar jab main jaane lagi thi aap ko tut kar niche baith kar rote hue dekh kar mera kaleja fatt raha tha Abhi, mujhko turant laut kar wapas aane ka mann kar raha tha, didi ne mera haath pakar kar khiincha tha mujhe chalne ke liye….. aur main chali gayi thi Abhi aap ko ussi haal mein chorr kar…..

Wahan se didi ke ghar jaane tak 22 kms hein main unn 22 kms tak roti gayi….

Roti rahi raat bhar aap ko yaad karte hue…. Kab nendh aayi pata hi nahin chala…..

Phir aayi wo din jab aap meri chachi ke ghar aaye aur main ghar wapas aayi thi 29th ya 30th ko… aap ka new year card mila tha jiss mein aap ne kaha ha ke aap 3, 4 ya 5th ko aoge…. Mujhe ek sukoon sa feel hua tha….. aap ko bhool nahin paa rahi thi.. mera aangan suna tha, aap ki seeti sunne ko kaan taras rahe the main baar baar kitchen se uss jagah dekh rahi thi jahan buss hua karta tha, jiss jiss jagah aap dikhaayi dete the main unn jagahon par dekhti rehti iss umeed se ke aap ek baar dikh jao mujhe…. Mere aangan mein jitna Abhi ka naam goonjhte hue sunaayi deta tha ab unta hi sannata hua karta tha…. kuch bhi acha nahin lagta tha… main washing stone par kapde dhoti to aap feel hote the lagta tha aap achanak piche se ajaoge, aap ki aahat ka ehsaas hota tha, kitab padhti khidki se tek lagaaye to aap nazar aate the baahar… kabhi kabhi lagta meri aankhen mujhko dkhoka de rahe hein, aap ko aisa feel karti ke aap ke saanson ka bhi ehsaas hone lagta mujhe…. Abhi TAB MUJHE EHSAAS HUA KE MAIN AAP SE KITNA PYAR KARTI HOON AUR AAP KO KITNA MISS KAR RAHI HOON…. Aap ne jo khat likha tha new year card ke saath uss mein mujhe ek bahot bada umeed dikhaayi diya… aap ne uss mein likha tha ke aap mujhse, mere papa se phir haath mange aoge phir uske baad apne parents ke saath aoge mujhe dekhne tab mangni tey hogi….. par main ne tab bhi ek bahot badi ghalati kar diya tha abhi…. Main ne mummy ko wo sab bata diya tha… mujhe mummy ko nahin batana chahiye tha, tab wo mujhe nahin rokti mera munh nahin dabaati, main achanak uss din aap ke saamne aajati aur papa ke saamne kehti ke haan mujhe aap Manzoor ho to papa kabhi inkaar nahin karta…..

Aap ne kayi baar uss khat mein kaha tha mujhe ke aap ko mera saath chahiye, mujhe wahan maujood hona chahiye, mujhko bhi baat karna chahite apne papa se, mujhe kehna chahiye ke haan main aap se pyar karti hoon…. Abhi MAIN NE WOHI NAHIN KIYA ABHI…..

Baaki main aap ko bata chuki hoon ke uss roz kia hua tha main kyun nahin nikal paayi thi……

Jab aap ko nikala gaya tha ghar se phir kia kiya tha main ne wo bata chuki hoon aap ko…..

Tab realise hua ke kho diya main ne aap ko, tab pata chala aur ehsaas hua aap ka pyar kitna keemti tha, tab samajh mein aya kia khoya hai main ne aur faisla kiya ke sabko sabak dekar rahungi, aur jo taakat mujh mein tab nahin thi jab aap yahan the wo taaqat tab aayi mujh mein inn sab ke saamna karne ki.

Main ek jwala ban chuki thi, mujhe rokne ko tab kissi mein himmat nahin thi, nah maa nah baap nah Mehboob nah Manoj. Main ne manoj ko kayi thapad mara tha yeh nahin bataya tha aap ko. Tabhi se uss se baat karna bandh kiya tha aur 5 saal baad usske shadi ke din uss se baad karna dobara shuru kiya tha wo bhi kabhi kabhi.

Aap ki dairy padh kar pata chala uss roz, 5th January ko ussi bus stop par aap ne apne tute hue dil se kaha tha ke kutte ki maut naseeb nah ho jaye ussko ussi jagah aur exactly wohi hua tha usske saath ussi jagah mara tha wo.

Maa aur Mehboob ko kia sazaa mili thi wo aap ko zubaani bataungi jab diary lene aoge tab.

Ek maze ki baat bata doon aap ko ke Amit aane wala tha mere nani, mama aur mamiyon ke saath mujhe dekhne April mein ussi saal jiss saal mein aap ko ghar sen ikala gaya tha…. sirf 3 mahine guzre the mere bawaal machaane ke baad aur sab darr rahe the mujhko batana ke wo aane wala hai…. Ek din pehle ek mama aya mujhko samjhane ke ussko receive kar liya jaaye… mujhe aap ka badla lena tha ghar walon se to main ne mama se kaha thik hai aane do Amit ko.

Wo aya bhi to kiss din Abhi? Aap ke birthday ke din aya wo mujhe dekhne aur haath maange uss se shaadi ke liye. 12th April tha, main aap ki yaad mein doobi thi jab nani, mama, aur do mamiyan aye hamare ghar, ussi jagah jahan se aap ko nikala gaya tha. sab ghar par the kyunke wo ane wala tha. papa wapas nahin gaye the tab tak ussi ke liye.

Abhi ussko main ne wo sunaya, wo haal kiya, aise aise galiyan diye ussko, bilkool jo aap ke saath kiya tha Manoj ne, Manoj ke saamne ussi tarah dhitkaar kar nikala unn sabko main ne ghar se….. nani aur mama mamiyan ko bhi sunaya aur kaha ke khabardaar phir kabhi mere liye kissi ko bhi iss dwar par laya to kutte ki tarah maar ke nikalungi…… Amit aisa gaya ke aaj tak usske baare mein khabar nahin mili,aur uss din ke baad main aaj tak nani ke ghar nahin gayi, marr bhi gayi wo bhi aur unn mein se ek mama bhi aur ek mami bhi…..

Here you go Abhi jo kehna tha keh diya aap ko, ab samajh mein nahin ata kia kehne ko bhooli hoon…. Jo miss kiya aap ko bataane ko wo aap puch lena jab miloge to bata dungi….

Mujhe pata hai wo din wapas nahin aane wale, weh pal nahin laut kar aane wale, buss aap dobara mile isske liye apni taqdeer ka shuriya ada karti hoon, yeh sab kehna tha aap se keh diya dil ka ek bojh halka hua, aap ko jo kehna tha, jo likha tha aap ne unn dinon wo mujh tak pahunchana tha wo aap ne bhi kar diya aap ka bhi bojh halka hua hoga.

Ab araam se mar sakungi marne ka time aega to, saare shikwe gile door hue umeed hai aap ko aur koyi shikaayat nahin rahega ab.baaki jo bhi kiya aap ke saath unn sab ke liye maafi maangti hoon, aap ke sacha pyar ko thukraya usski sazaa bhugat chuki hoon aur bhugat rahi bhi hoon, agar aap ne kahin mujhko bhi bad duah diye ho to wapas le lena please mujh par rehem karna Abhi bahot seh chuki hon aur nahin seh paungi.

Thank you very much for coming in my life and teaching me what is TRUE LOVE. I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU ONLY ABHI. AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING THOSE TWO AND A HALF MONTHS YOU WORKED HERE TO BE MEMORABLE FOR ME WHICH I WILL CHERISH ALL MY LIFE. WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE DAYS. I STILL REMEMBER EACH AND EVERY MOMENT AS YOU HAVE WRITTEN IN YOUR DIARIES…. I COPIED ALMOST ALL THOSE MOMENTS BACK IN A NEW COPYBOOK FROM YOUR DIARY TO KEEP FOR MYSELF. I LOVED YOU LATE BUT DID LOVE YOU VERY MUCH ABHI. MUCH LATER I REALISED HOW MUCH I HAD ALWAYS LOVED YOU.

I KNOW ITS TOO LATE NOW. YOU LOVED ME FROM YOUR SOUL, YOU ONCE WROTE OUR SOULS WERE CONNECTED, YOU WERE RIGHT BUT I WAS WRONG NOT TO RECOGNISE MY OWN SOULT AT THE RIGHT TIME.

Signed:

Ruhi Nunhuck.

Update 75 Abhi Meets Ruhi Again​

Jiss din ko Abhi ko Ruhi ke ghar jaana tha ussne Navina ko bata diya ke wo Ruhi se mil chuka hai ussko diaries bhi de diya hai aur ab wapas lene jaa raha hai. Navina heyraan hui kyunke ussko bhi Ruhi se milna tha to Navina ne sawaal kiye ke kab mile kaise mile etc aur Abhi ne sab bataya jiss din ussko university nahin lene aya tha wahin se baat kiya tha aur tab Shweta se milne gaya tha uss se puchne ke kyun ussne nahin bataya ke wo Ruhi ko beti thi.

Matlab ab Navina ko bhi sab confirmation mil gayi ke Shweta Ruhi ki hi beti hai jaise ussne socha tha.

Navina ne Abhi se ek ajeeb baat kaha. Navina ne pehle Abhi ko baithne ko kaha kyunke ussko kuch important baat karni thi. Donon lounge mein sofe par baith aur Navina ne kaha,

“Aap ko Shweta se shaadi kar lena chahiye!”

Abhi chahunk kar khada ho gaya zor se “WHAT” kehte hue.

Navina ne ussko dobara baithne ko kaha, aur ussko samjhaya,

“Dekho, wo akeli hai, aap donon ke bich sexual relationship to ho hi rahe hein jisska mujhe koyi problem nahin, to shaadi hi kyun nahin kar lete? Main yeh Aruhi ke liye keh rahi hoon… wo badi hoti jaegi to sochegi ke tum kaise usske pita ho aur kyun do gharon mein rehte ho, inn sabka uss par ghalat assar ho sakta hai…. Shaadi kar loge Shweta se to kum se kum Aruhi ko itna to pata hoga ke usski papa ke do wives hein aur iss liye usski do mothers hein…. Haan shaadi kehne ko keh rahi hoon iss ghar mein laane ko nahin…. Usske liye alag ghar banwa lo, aur jab chaho wahan rehna jab chaho yahan! Jaise Aruhi inn do gharon mein pali badhegi ussi tarah tum bhi udhar idhar aate jaate rehna. Kabhi Aruhi ko mere paas rehne dena ekaat din aur tum Shweta ke yahan reh jana……”

Abhi ka yeh sab sunkar jaise dimaagh blank ho gaya. Ussko pata tha ke Shweta to bahot hi khush hogi agar uss se abhi ne shaadi kiya to….. magar abhi ab ruhi ke baare mein sochne laga tha aur Navina se kaha;

“Tum ek important chiz bilkool bhool gayi ho….. usske baare mein nahin socha tumne?!”

Navina heyraan hote hue pucha,

“what? Kia bhuli hoon?!”

Abhi: “Ruhi! Ussko nahin pata chalega ke main ne usski beti se shaadi kiya hai? Wo usski maa hai… aur wo meri premika THI!!”

Navina: “Abhi shukar hai tumhare aur Ruhi ke beech koyi sexual relationship nahin hua tha kabhi varna tumko Shweta se shaadi karna bilkool bhi allowed nahin hota, magar abhi ho sakta hai, moral values par bhi normal hai, legally bhi allowed hai…. Sunon ek kaam karo, mujhko kab Ruhi se milwaoge, kaha tha nah aap se ke kabhi uss se milo to mujhe milwana uss se? Ussko thanks Karna hai mujhe.”

Abhi: “Tum ne yeh shaadi wali baat kehkar mere dimaagh ko sun kar diya…. Dekho mera dil zoron se dhadakne laga hai…. Shweta to bahot khush hogi magar Ruhi kia sochegi…. Main to ussko yeh surprise dene wala hoon ke main ne Aruhi ko adopt kiya hai….. ab shaadi ki baat suni ussne to??!! Oh no, It’s not okay I feel!!”

Navina: “agar ussko pata hi nah chale to? Aur jab ussko pata chalega ke aap ne usske poti ko goad liya to ussko shak to hoga hi ke tum donon ke beech kuch zaroor hai…..!”

Abhi: “do you think so? Ussko shak hoga? Kaise?!”

Navina: “uss se kia kahoge ke kyun aap ne Aruhi ko Adopt kiya? Shweta kaise mili aap ko, kab se donon itne close hue ke Aruhi ko adopt bhi kar liya aap ne?!”

Abhi: “main yehi surprise to dunga nah Ruhi ko ke main pichle 7 saalon se Shweta se mil chuka hoon aur Aruhi ko bhi jaanta hoon ussko badhte hue dekha hai main ne…..”

Navina: “Tabhi Ruhi ko sab samajh mein ajaega Abhi, she is a woman who loved you nah? But where is she? She is not married? She must have her husband and kids nah?!”

Tab Abhi ne Ruhi ke baare mein sab kuch jitna jaanta tha bataya Navina ko. Ussko bahot afsos hua Ruhi ke baare mein jaan ke. Usske baad Navina ne ziada kuch nahin kaha buss itna kaha ke Shweta se ussko shadi karni hi chahiye.

Abhi chala gaya Ruhi se milne. Jaane se pehle phone karke bata diya Ruhi ko ke wo araha hai diaries lene. Ruhi ne Abhi ke taang khinchte hue kaha,

“Acha aap sirf diaries wapas lene aa rahe ho mujhse milne nahin?!”

Wahan pahunchne par kehne ki zaroorat nahin donon ke rona dhona phir shuru hua…. Abhi Ruhi ke jawaab padhte hue rone laga, aur Ruhi Abhi ko rote dekh kar rone lagi…. Ghanton baad donon chhup hue….

Abhi ne kaha,

“Bahot ro liye hum ne…. ab rona bandh… jitna jiss jiss ko jhelna tha jhel liye donon ne hai nah? Tum assal mein mujhse se ziada takliff mein rahi dekh sakta hoon samajh sakta hoon…. Tum akeli rahi, mujhe to Navina mil gayi mujhe sambhaalne ke liye, mera dekh bhaal karne ke liye, wo nahin aati meri zindagi mein to pata nahin main aaj kia hota….”

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Abhi jaise ek bojh utar gaya seene se nah? kia aap ko bhi weisa feel ho raha hai?”

Abhi: “Exactly yes!! Itne dinon se main khud se kehta raha ke kab yeh donon diaries tum tak pahuncha paunga, kab padhogi ke main tumse kitna pyar karta tha, kab tum sab samajh paogi…. Main marne se pehle tumko donon diaries dena hi dena chahta tha…. aur aaj ek sukoon feel hua sach mein…. Ek bojh utar gaya seene se yes you are right…. Yes true!”

Donon kuch der khamosh rah ek dusre ko dekhte hue aur Abhi ne pucha,

“Tum apni mummy aur Mehboob ke baare mein kuch kehne wali thi nah?”

Ruhi ne tab kaha,

“Hold me please Abhi”

Abhi ne turant Ruhi ko apne baahon mein bhar liya.

Bahot kaske liya Ruhi ussne apne baahon mein, aur usske seene se lag kar Ruhi ne kaha,

“Itni mazbut baahein mili thi mujhe aur main ne innko thukraya, kitni bewakuf thi main Abhi? Kitne baar aap ne mujhe aise baahon mein liya tha phir bhi mujhe kyun tab pehchaan nahin hui thi ke yehi wo baahein hein jinn mein main apni umar guzaar sakti hoon, yehi wo baahein hein jo mujhe umar bhar araam de sakte the, yehi wo seena hai jiss par main zindagi bhar apna sar rakh kar araam haasil kar sakti thi, tab kyun mujhko isska ehsaas nahin hua tha Abhi?!”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke sar par haath ferrte hue jawaab diya,

“Yehi ghalati to kiya tha tumne nah, ke Amit aur wahan ke chaka chaund aur amiri ko socha tha aur upar se tumko tumhari maa aur Mehboob influence karte rehte the, issi liye tumne mujhko paa kar bhi kho diya…. Ghalati tumhari hai bhi aur nahin bhi… Uss waqt agar tumne mujhko sab bata diya hota to main pakka tumko convince kar leta, main tumhare iss bheje mein baat achchi tarah se daal deta ke hum donon ek dusre ke liye bane hein, hamaare rooh ek dusre se judh chuke the magar ussko alag tum ne kia Ruhi aur kissi ne nahin, tum wo bold decision nahin le paayi jab lena chahiye tha… tumne decision tab liya jab tumne dekha mujhko kaise zalil karke yahan se nikaala gaya… tab tumne decide kiya sabko sabak seekhaane ki…. Magar tab bhi tum mujhko approach kar sakti thi, mujhko ek khat likh deti main dauda chala aata tumhaare paas….

Main uss din yahan se jaane ke baad kayi mahinon tak tadapta raha tumhare liye, tabhi diaries ko likha apne daily diaries se inn par sab copy kiya aur Rahima ko dene aaya…… tab bhi tum agar chahti to mujhse mil sakti thi… tum uss din ghar mein hi thi nah? tumhare papa ne mujh se haath uthaya tha, shaayad wo samjha tha main tumhare liye aya hoon phir se….. mere chale jaane ke baad aayi thi tum diaries lene Rahima se, to jiss waqt main Rahima ke yahan tha tabhi kyun nahin nikli thi tum? Ussi waqt ussi taxi mein mere saath chali aati… tumne tab to sab se munh ferr hi liya tha nah? Manoj se baat nahin karti thi nah? ghar mein kuch nahin karti thi nah tab? Apni maa ko bhi sunaati rehti thi nah tab? To at least tab kyun nahin nikli thi tum Ruhi?!”

Ruhi rone lagi, aur rote hue Abhi ke seene se satt kar kaha,

“Main tab badal gayi thi, ghussa bhara hua tha mujh mein, uss din jab aap aaye the dunya mein aag laga dene ka mann kar raha tha mera, uss din main ne aap ke aane se pehle bahot bahot ghussa kiya tha ghar mein, plate tode the kitchen mein, thik taxi jab aangan mein aaye tab main apni kamre mein kuch kapdon main aag lagaya tha, sab jal rahe the aur mummy papa dhadpadaate aaye the paani daalne unn kapdon par, tabhi taxi ruki thi aur main ne jhanka tha baahar to aap ko dekh kar mere dil ke dhadkanen jaise ruk gaye the… main rone lagi thi, maa ne bhi aap ko Rahima ke ghar jaate hue dekha tha aur uss din mujhse kaha tha,

“jaa wo aya hai jaa chali jaa usske saath, bhaag ja usske saath tab tere kaleje mein thandak padegi”

Aur main ne maa ko jawaab yeh diya tha,

“kyun chali jaun? Main tujhko issi ghar mein rehkar teri kaal banungi, tujhko ahiste ahiste marna dekhna hai mujhe, tujhko dhire dhire saare chizon ka ehesaas dilana hai mujhe tum sab ko abhi aur bahot kuch jhelna hai, mujhe tum sabko bahot kuch dikhana hai abhi… main aur 50 saal iss ghar mein rehkar tadpaane wali hoon tum sab ko? Main kyun jaaun jab ussko aap sab ne beizat karke iss ghar se nikala tha aur main ne kuch nahin kiya tha, kiss munh se usske saamne jaungi main? Mujhe munh chhupana hai uss se, sharam aati hai mujhe ab usske saamne jaane ke liye kaise jaaun main usske saamne kiss munh se jaun usske saamne main?!”

Yeh sab sunke Abhi ne Ruhi ke maathe ko chuma aur Ruhi ne aur kaha,

“main jiss tarah se behave kar rahi thi unn dinon sab samajh rahe the mere upar koyi aatma agayi hai, Ojha ke paas le gaye the mujhe, phir doctor ke paas, doctor ne phsychiatric medecines diye the aur kaha tha ke agar aisi hi rahi to breakdown ho sakta hai paagal ho jaungi sach mein aur mental asylum mein bharrti hona padega…. Mujhko paagal ka tag de diya gaya tha iss ghar mein mere behaviour ki vajah se hihihihihi……. Yeh sab aap ke diaries dene ke 3 mahine baad hua tha….. aur jab doctor ne mujhse wo sab kaha tab main ne socha ke mujhko ab sambhlna chahiye aur control mein rehna chahiye….. ghar mein apne kone mein rehti thi, ek bhi kaam nahin karti, TV dekhti, books read karti aur apni room mein ghussi rehti…. Kayi saalon tak weisi hi rahi… maa baat karti to ussko ghusse mein jawaab deti aur kehti ke mujhse baat nah karen…. Sirf Mahesh se thik se baat karti aur kissi se bhi nahin… maa kapde dhone jaati aur bulaati to ussko gaali deti…. Sirf apne kapdon ko dhoti thi, aur kissi ki nahin, kitchen mein ek kaam bhi nahin karti thi, sab maa karti, main khaati thi hehehehe!! Bahot buri ban gayi thi main…. Saalon tak ghussa bhara hua tha mujh mein…”

“Aur normal kab hue tum?” Abhi ne pucha.

Ruhi: “NAHIN HUI!! UNN LOGON KE SAATH NORMAL HUI HI NAHIN MAIN, KHAAS KAR MAA KE SAATH TO AAJ TAK NAHIN HUI NORMAL…….. Manoj ke liye ladki dekhne gaye sab, main nahin gayi, Manoj binati karte thak gaya mujhe chalne ke liye magar pata hai main ne ussko kia jawaab diya tha? 5 saal baad uss se baat kiya tha uss din aur jawaab mein uss se kaha ‘kitna acha hoga ke tujhe bhi kutte ki tarah wo log ghar se laat maar kar nikaale jaise tumne Abhi ko nikala tha, main kyun jaungi? Kia tum ne mere Abhi ko accept kiya tha? jaise tu ladki dekhne ja raha hai wo bhi aya tha, tab tumne kia kiya tha?!”

Abhi: “kaash jiss din main aya tha tab tumne uss se wo sab kaha hota!!”

Ruhi: “Tab main bahot achchi, obedient beti thi iss ghar ki nah? aap ke jaane ke baad main sabki baap bani thi hehehehe, sab kuch aap ke badaulat hi hua, main strong bhi hui to aap ki vajah se….

meri life mein aap ne bahot changes laaye, positivity bhi laaye buss aap nahin mile mujhe!”

Abhi: “phir kia kehna tha tumhare mummy aur Mehboob ke baare mein?”

“Mummy ko breast cancer hui, papa S.Arabia se wapas aaye phir kabhi nahin gaye. 1994 ki baat hai. Manoj ki shaadi ho chuki thi, uss se ekaat baat kar leti thi, aur usski biwi se banti thi meri. usski biwi ko sab kuch bata diya tha khud manoj ne aap ke aur mere baare mein…. Baad mein Mahesh ki shaadi hui to ussne bhi meri aur aap ki kahani bata diye apni wife ko…. Donon bahuwon ko meri muhabat ki dastaan pata hai…. Iss liye bataaye donon bhaiyon ne kyunke weh sawaal karte nah ke ghar mein ek behen kyu baithi hai bina shaadi kiye….

Abhi ne Ruhi ka sar sehlaate hue kaha,

“chorro jaane do, tumhari maa hai maaf kardo… jaane do ab…. Just forget and forgo!”

Ruhi Abhi ke seene se alag hote hue kaha,

“NEVER ABHI, I WILL NEVER FORGET AND NEVER LET GO…. WO MARR BHI JAYE TO MUJHE KOYI DUKH NAHIN HOGA ABHI!”

Abhi: “Itni karwahat thik bhi nahin sweetheart….. ab bhool bhi jao nah!”

Ruhi: “25 Saal se main iss ghar mein baithi hoon bhool jaun? Aaj mere bache hote aap ke saath. Ek ghar hota, mera pati hota main kitni khush hoti wo sab bhool jaun? Sab kuch usski vajah se hua? Kabhi nahin bhoolungi main Abhi kabhi nahin!!”

Abhi chhup ho gaya….. phir pucha ke Mehboob ko kia hua.

Ruhi zor se hanssi aur kaha,

“hhahahaha kutte ho heart attack aya tha 2 Baar….

Abhi ko Ruhi ki wo ghussa, wo karwahat un donon ke liye samajh mein araha tha… aur ussne aur kuch nahin kaha Ruhi ko buss ussko aur zor se apne baahon mein bhar ke ussko chuma ussko cool karne ke liye.

Update 76 Abhi Tells Ruhi About Shweta​

Aur kuch der baad Ruhi ne kaha,

“Achah chorro yeh sab Abhi, aap ab mujhe yeh batao kaun sa surprise dene wale the aap mujhe?!

Navina ki baat yaad karke Abhi sochne par majboor ho gaya ke Ruhi ko bataye ya nahin Shweta ke baare mein. Thoda sochne ke baad ussne socha bata hi dete hein jo hona hai wohi hoga, to Abhi ne Ruhi ke chehre mein muskurate hue dekha aur kaha,

“Tumko zaroor Khushi hogi jaan kar jo main tumko bataane jaa raha hoon, umeed hai ke naraaz nahin hogi tum ke last time aya tha tab kyun nahin bataya….”

Ruhi ne jab Abhi ko muskuraate hue dekha to kaha,

“jab se aaye ho pehli baar aap ko muskuraate hue dekh rahi hoon, jab yahan haam karte the to aap kitne khush dikha karte the, taras gayi thi aap ki muskurahat dekhne ke liye, bahot ro liye aap ne, ab muskurakar kuch kehne wale ho aap to zaroor Khushi ki baat hogi varna aap itne khush nahin dikhte, chaliye bataiye kia baat hai.”

Abhi ne Ruhi ko sofe par bithaya aur kaha,

“baat Shweta ki hai Ruhi!”

Ruhi ke chehre mein donon Khushi aur heyraani ke bhaav dikhe aur Abhi ke chehre mein dekhte hue pucha,

“Shweta? Kia aap uss se mile ho? koyi buri khabar to nahin nah?!”

Abhi ne halke se hansste hue kaha,

“Are bilkool bhi buri khabar nahin, thehro samjhata hoon tumhein….. main pichle 7 saalon se Shweta se milta aya hoon Ruhi…. Aruhi ko bhi bahot achi tarah se jaanta hoon aur wo bhi mujhe apna maanti hai, bahot pyar hai mujhe Aruhi se bhi….”

Ruhi ne badi badi aankhon se Abhi ko dekhte hue kaha,

“What? Aap mil chuke ho Shweta se? kab kaise? Main ek din soch rahi thi ke aap uss se to mil sakte ho agar mujhse nahin mile to, aap batao nah kaise wo mili ap ko? Kahan?”

Abhi ne Ruhi ke haathon ko apne donon haathon mein lekar, usski aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Ek din achaanak se mil gayi mujhe, main ne ussko pehchana hi nahin, 18 saal baad dekha tha usse.

Main kaam ke silsiley mein university gaya tha aur kissi ne mujhe piche se phukara, main ne mudhke dekha to ek ladki mujhko muskuraate hue dekh rahi thi, main ne ussko nahin pehchana halaan ke surat thodi jaani pehchaani si lagi, to ussne kaha thehro aap ko phir se weise bulaati hoon jaise bachpan mein bulaati thi aur ussne kaha, ‘Abhiiiiiiiiiii’ to mere sharir kaamp uthe, mere aankhen bhar aaye yeh jaan kar ke wo Shweta hai…… apne baahon ko khol diya aur wo meri baahon mein agayi…… hum donon rone lage ek dusre se 18 saal baad mil kar…..”

Yeh sunkar Ruhi ke aankhen bhi bhar aaye aur rote aur hansste hue ek saath kaha,

“Kaisi thi wo? Aur ab kaisi hai? Mujhse to pichle 10 ya 12 saal se nahin mili, shadi kiya tha tab mujhe Mahesh legaya tha chachi ke ghar, tab dekhi thi ussko…. Wo to jab 18 ki thi thi aur pata chala tha ussko ke main usski janam dene wali maa hoon to aayi mujhse khub ladaayi kiye aur usske baad ek din bhi nahin aayi mujhse milne… kaha tha nah jaise main apni maa ko treat karti hoon waise hi meri beti bhi mujhko treat karti hai, meri taqdeer hi aisi hai, aur ho bhi kyun nah, main hi to nafrat karne lagi thi nah uss se bachpan mein aur ussko sab pata tha….. to ussko bahot thess pahuncha ke main usski real maa hokar uss se nafrat karti rahi to ussne nafrat ke badle mujhko nafrat hi diya wapas….. 2 saal shaadi ke baad suna ke ussne uss doctor se divorce le liya aur chachi ke ghar wapas chali gayi rehne, kaam karne wale ladkiyon ke saath yehi problem hai, paisa kamaane lagte hein to husband acha nahin lagta, freedom chahiye hote hein aaj kal ke ladkiyon ko….. akeli rehti hai aur Aruhi ko paal rahi hai, kamaati hai nah issi liye aisi hogi!”

Abhi: “Chalo tumko yeh sab pata to hai, main ne socha tumko khabar nahin mila hoga usska….. haan main usski divorce se ek saal ya kuch mahine pehle hi mila tha, Aruhi tab shayad 18 mahine ki thi aur tab Shweta shayad 24 ki thi… usske baad hum aksar milne lage the, Navina bhi ussko jaanti hai, aur Aruhi ko bhi….. Dar assal Shweta ek part time course follow kar rahi thi university mein aur Shweta Navina ki student bhi thi…. Ajeeb coincidence hai ke mere aur Navina donon ke taraf se Shweta se milan hue….. hai nah?!”

Ruhi kuch sochne lagi, khush dikh rahi thi, magar soch mein kuch der doobi rahi, tab kaha,

“Wo aap se bahot ziada pyar karti thi, ab bhi karti hogi hai nah? aap ne pichli baar nahin bataya mujhe jab main ne aap se Shweta ke baare mein kaha tha….. kia aap mujhse chhupana chahte the ke ap uss se mil chuke ho?!”

Abhi ne jawaab diya,

“Are nahin kyun chhupana chahta tha? Tum usske khilaaf bol rahi thi nah? iss liye main chhup raha aur tab mujhe kahan pata tha ke wo tumhari beti hai? Mujhko uss ne bhi bilkool 7 saalon mein ek baar bhi nahin bataya tha ke wo tumhari beti hai, iss liye mujhe jhatka laga tha jab tumne wo baat bataayi thi pichli baar… iss liye tumse tab kuch nahin kaha tha….. aur tumse milne ke baad main uss se mila usski ghalat faimi door kiya tumko lekar aur ab main ussko aur Aruhi ko lekar aunga tumse milwane yehi surprise dena hai tumko….. kaho kab laun yahan donon maa beti ko?!”

“Ruhi ke Khushi se aankhen bhar aaye aur pucha,

“Really wo aegi mujhse milne? Aruhi ke saath? Aap ke saath? Wo maan gayi aane ke liye aap ke saath? Chamatkaar ho gayi yeh to! Kaise manaaya aap ne ussko?! Thank you Abhi? Yeh kaise hua? Aap kaise aksar milne lage Abhi batao mujhe wo khush to hai nah? phir se kyun shaadi nahin ki? Aur kyun uss doctor se divorce le liya sab batao nah mujhe Abhi!”

Abhi: “arey mobile ka zamana hai nah jab hum mile to ussne mera number liya main ne usski aur social network par, whatsap par contact mein rahe to milte rahe nah….. iss mein kaun si badi baat hai aaj kal communicate karne ke liye kitne tarike hote hein nah…..”

Ruhi: “haan jab main aap ko jaanti thi tab kahan tha aise technology ke hum ek dusre se communicate kar sakte!! Waqt waqt ki baat hai nah Abhi”

Abhi: “tha comunictae karne ke tarike, tunme nahin communicate kiya tha, mera address tha tumhare paas, unn dinon hum letter writing se communicate karte the to tum agar chahti to mujhko likh sakti thi, tum ne communicate nahin kiya tha mujhe…. Phone lag gaye the nah ek saal hamare bicharne ke baad mujhko phone bhi kar sakti thi, kabhi directory mein mera naam nahin dekha tha kia? Zaroor dekha hoga tumne, main ne phone lagte hi sabse pehle tumhare papa ke naam ka phone number dhunda tha aur mila bhi tha 1987 ye 1988 mein… to tumko bhi mera number dikha hoga kyunke mere ghar ka phone mere hi naam par registered hua tha….!!!

Ruhi: “haan Abhi dekha tha, pata tha… magar haan sahi keh rahe ho main ne hi nahin communicate kiya tha aap ko you are right….”

Abhi ne tab Ruhi ke haathon ko apne haath mein zor se dabaate hue kaha,

“Tumhi kehti rehti ho nah ke Shweta mujhse bachpan se pyar karti thi, to socho jab mujhse mili to kitna khush hui hogi? Kitna acha laga hoga ussko? Ussne jaise ek khoya hua chiz paa liya itni khush thi wo aur mujhse baar baar milna chahti thi…. Haan uss doctor se usski nahin bani, uss se pyar hi nahin karti thi kehti thi mujhe, doctor usska khayal bilkool nahin rakhta tha aur nah bachi ka khayaal rakhta tha usske liye buss usska kaam aur usske patients, yehi usski priority hua karte the, to Shweta tang agayi…. Aur bina mujhe bataaye pata nahin kab divorce le liya, usske bahot mahine baad mujhko bataya ke ab wapas tumhare chachi ke ghar rehti hai, tab mujhe pata chala ke doctor ko chorr diya ussne…..

”

Ruhi ghaur se sun rahi thi tab pucha,

“To phir se kyun shaadi nahin kiya ussne? Kitni khubsurat hai, kitni achchi hai, ussko to ladkon ke line lagte honge proposal ke!”

Abhi ka chehre laal hua aur kaha,

“Wo ab tumhi puchna uss se nah! mujhe kia pata kyun nahin ki shaadi ussne, buss itna kaha ke dobara wo experience nahin karna chahti!”

Ruhi ne tab pucha,

“Aur Aruhi, dekha nah mera naam apni beti ke naam ke saath joda hai ussne aur mujhse ladaayi karne aayi thi magar mera naam rakha apni beti ke naam ke saath hahahaha, kaisi dikhti hai Aruhi ab 7/8 saal ki ho gayi hogi nah? aap se banti hai usski aap ne kaha? Khubsurat hogi wo bhi nah? main ne usski bachpan dekha hi nahin aap ne dekha nah? kuch batao to Abhi!”

Abhi: “Bahot cute hai, weise hi jaise Shweta thi bachpan mein, bahot intelligent bhi hai… samajh lo mujhse ussko baap ka pyar mila, mujhe baap hi samajhti hai… bahot pyar karti hai mujhe aur main bhi behad chahta hoon ussko….Navina se bhi khub ghul mil gayi hai ati hai hamare yahan kabhi kabhi….”

Ruhi ne Abhi ke chehre mein, usske aankhon ki gehraayi mein dekhte hue kaha,

“Abhi aap ka koyi pichle janam ka Rishta hai mujhse kia? Aap meri family se kitna close ho jaate ho? meri beti se aur usski beti ke itna close ho gaye aur mujhse kitne door rahe? Aap ko kudrat ne bheja hai hamare liye kia Abhi? 25 saal pehle aap Shweta se mile the, wo aap se behad pyar karne lagi, jab aap mujhse door hue to wo aap ko miss karti thi, aap ke liye roti thi, jab badi hui to aap se shaadi tak karna chahti thi.... kaise aap ke saath close hui wo Abhi? Wo to aap se behad pyar karti thi, aap ko chahti thi jaise hum donon ek dusre ko chahte the!! Aap ko usski nazron mein pyar nahin dikha apne liye Abhi? Aap ko kabhi nahin laga ke wo aap ko chahti hai?.... wait wait wait…. Abhi ussne kahin aap ki khatir to doctor se divorce to nahin liya nah?! hmm?!”

Abhi hadbadaane laga tha ab…. Ussko dikh gaya ke Ruhi ko shak hone laga to baat ko rokne ke liye Abhi ne bus itna kaha,

“What are you talking now? Kaha nah kyun doctor ko chorra? Aur baaki jo bhi puchna hai tum ussi se puch lena bolo kal lekar aaun donon ko? Weise Navina bhi tumse milna chahti hai…ussko bhi saath lekar aunga, kia khayal hai? Thik rahega kal?!”

Ruhi ne bhare hue aankhon mein kaha,

“Anytime Abhi, any time.. tum buss lekar aao sabko main sab se milna chahti hoon, magar Abhi main nah lunch nah dinner bana paungi…. Inn donon waqt mein mat ana please….”

Abhi: “Are kyun fikar karti ho, inn sab ke liye koyi fikar nahin, tumko bhi lechalunga kabhi apne ghar aur wahan sab lunch ya dinner karenge…. Aur mera yakeen karo ek din tum khud dinner ya lunch paka kar hum sab ko khilaogi!”

Ruhi: “Wo kaise Abhi? I can’t even stand!”

Abhi: “Why? Do you think from the wheelchair you will not be able to cook? You very well can do that…. Just someone must be there to help you or assist you…. Weise hua kia hai tumko? What is your health problem? Kyun nahin chal paati ya khada nahin ho paati ho? wo batao mujhe ab!”

Ruhi: “shuru ek sciatica issue se hua tha , baad mein pata chala spinal issues hein, bahot saare doctaron ke paas gayi, bahot ilaaj karwaya, it remais the same, rather it became worse… main ek laathi se chal paati thi pichle 5 saalon se ab wo bhi nahin kar paati… kamar mein taaqat hi nahin body ko sambhalne ke liye!”

Abhi: “Sirf medical ke taraf checkup karwaya? Ayurvedic massage ya medication kiya kabhi?!

Ruhi: Ayurvedic? No. never, sirf hospital aur physiotherapy kiya kayi saalon tak….”

Abhi: “Okay I will try something to help you I bet ke tum wapas khada ho paogi aur chalogi bhi…. Dekh lena!!”

Update 77 What Abhi Now Feels After Leaving Ruhi​

Ab jo main likhne jaa raha hoon iss se shaayad bahot readers iss se raazi nahin honge. Wo hai Abhi ke ab ke aane wale feelings ke baare mein hai.

Jab Abhi ne ne Ruhi se last update wale saare baatein karke ghar jaane laga drive karte hue to ab Abhi ko kuch aur feelings hone laga. Abhi ko ab laga ke wo pyar jo ussko 25 saal pehle Ruhi ke saath tha wo baaki nahin raha. Bilkool wo waale feelings nahin rahe. Abhi ko khud tahjub ho raha tha ke kyun ussko ab weisa feel hone laga tha?

Aisa laga Abhi ko ke itne dinon tak usske dil mein sirf unn diaries ko Ruhi ko dena tha padhne ke liye, sirf Ruhi ko maloom karaana tha ke ussne kitna jhela tha Ruhi ke liye….. jab tak Ruhi ne unn diaries ko nahin padha tha tab tak Abhi ke dil par ek bahot bhaadi bojh jaisa tha, ab Ruhi ne sab padh liye aur apni taraf se saare jawaab de diye to Abhi ko laga jaise usska mission COMPLETE ho gaya ussko buss itna hi karna tha.

Haan magar Rishta bilkool nahin todna tha, Ruhi ke liye Abhi ke dil mein ab ek hamdardi jaisa paida hua…. Ek insaan jissne Abhi ke pyar ki khaatir apni life kurbaan kar diye, khud ki ghalati ki vajah se apni life ko aise jhela jaise khud ko sazaa de rahi thi, usske liye Abhi ke dil mein ab izzat paida hua magar wo pyar jo 25 saal pehle tha, wo junoon jo tha usske liye 1986 mein wo bilkool bhi nahin tha… wo wala feel bilkool bhi nahin araha tha Abhi ke seene mein Ruhi ke liye…. Kia wo dhire dhire marr gaya? Kia insaan ke dil se pyar marrta bhi hai kissi ke liye? Ya aisa tha ke Abhi ab itna pyar baant hi nahin paa raha tha? Navina ke liye pyar tha, Shweta ke liye bahot pyar tha, Aruhi ke liye pyar tha magar Ruhi ke liye wo wala pyar bilkool nahin feel ho raha tha Abhi ko. Haan hamdardi feel ho raha tha, insaaniyat ke naate uss se Rishta barkaraar rakhna tha….. Abhi yeh sab sochte hue drive kiye jaa raha tha, aur apne unn diaries ko dekha, wohi puraane lifaafe mein 25 saal se rakha hua tha diaries ko….. ussko feinkne ka mann kiya usse ab…. Phir socha ghar jaa kar donon diaries ko ab jalaa dega, kyunke jiss ke liye likha tha ussne ab padh liya tha aur jawaab bhi de diya tha..

Abhi sochta gaya ke sala pichle 25 saalon tak jiss kashmakash aur ghum mein raha wo Ruhi ko yaad karke, ussko dekhne ki tamanna karke, itne saalon tak apne dil mein Ruhi ko basaaye rakha ek jhatke mein aaj sab normal lagne laga sirf diaries dekar aur wapas lekar…. Kahin yeh diaries hi to nahin roka hua tha Abhi ko itne dinon tak, kahin inn diaries ne hi to usske dil ke andar Ruhi ke liye chaahat aur yaadein nahin bhare hue the ab tak? Aur jab Ruhi ne sab padh liya to Abhi ko chain aur sukoon haasil hua aur iss liye ab Abhi ko lagne laga ke ab ussne apna kaam tamaan kar liya?! Yeh kia tha aise feelings kyun arahe the Abhi ko khud samajh nahin paaya. Naata to nahin todega kabhi bhi Ruhi se aisa socha Abhi ne, ussko bhulega nahin, usske liye jitna ho sake utna kakrega, uss se milta rahega jab tak Ruhi rahegi, yeh sab tey tha magar dil ke andar wo jazbaa, wo pyar, wo chaahatein baaki nahin rahe the Abhi ke dil ke andar. Ab yeh bhi ho sakta tha ke Abhi ko wo wala pyar Shweta se milne laga tha iss liye aisa tha, kia pata?!

Qurbaaniyan diye Ruhi ne, aur sab kuch khoya kiss ne? Ruhi ne hi…. Jo pyar tha Abhi ke dil mein Ruhi ke liye ab wo pyar bhi kho diya tha Ruhi ne. Magar ussko isska pata bilkool chala hi nahin…. Yeh sirf Abhi ke feelings the jo sirf Abhi ke dil ke andar rahe.

Ghar lautne par Abhi ne Navina ko zor se apne bahon mein bharke ussko utha liya aur kaha,

“Aaj main bahot khush feel kar raha hoon. Muuuuah. Thank you for coming in my life, thank you for being part of my life, thank you for being my wife and thank you for doing all that you did for me. You are my angel. God sent you for me especially”

Navina ne Abhi ko kiss back karke pucha,

“kyun ji? Aisa kia ho gaya? Ruhi ne reply de diya aap ko? Itna khush to once in a blue moon hi dikhte ho aap?!”

Abhi ne Navina ko tab niche utaarte hue kaha,

“Diaries wapas le aya hoon sochta hoon ab ussko jala doon usska kaam ho gaya ab. Diaries ne apna mission complete kar diya, jisske liye likha tha ussne padh liya, jawaab de diya kaam khatam. Jala doon?!”

Navina ne kaha,

“No, not at all? Kyun jalaoge? Wohi sab to apni daily diaries mein bhi likha hai nah? to kia apne diaries ko jalaoge? You have to keep them. Lock them somewhere and never look back at them. They are the past. Now move on….. Ab meri ek baat maanna hoga aap ko!”

Abhi: “Kaun si baat?!”

Navina: “Shweta se shaadi karlo. It is important!”

Abhi ne Navina ko seene se lagaya aur kaha,

“I never wanted to marry neither her nor Ruhi. Because I married you. Tumko main secondary nahin karna chahta…. Shaadi to ek se hoti hai aur wo tum ho. Tumhara darja alag hai. You are at the top of all. I do not want you to get hurt sweetheart. Wo jagah sirf tumhara hai.”

Navina ne muskuraate hue bade hi araam se Abhi ko samjhaya.

“Meri jagah koyi le bhi nahin sakta, main jaanti hoon aap meri jagah kissi ko nahin dena chahte, main jaanti hoon aap chaah kar bhi mujhko alag nahin kar paoge aur nah hi bhool paoge, main jaanti hoon aap ki life mein meri kia ehmiyat hai, magar jab main khud keh rahi hoon aap ko Shweta se shaadi karna chahiye to karna chahiye. Aur wo sirf Aruhi ke liye hai. It is important my love. Uss bachi ko kabhi yeh sawaal nahin uthana chahiye future mein, ussko kabhi yeh kehne ka mauka nahin dena chahiye ke usski maa aap ki rakhel hai, do you want her to tell her mother one day that she is your keep?? Aap ne ussko adopt kar to liya, ab Shweta se shaadi karke uss rishte ko legal kar do, paak kar do. Mujhe Khushi hogi, please do this for me and Aruhi, and of course for Shweta too. I know she really loves you, and she needs you too. She will be very happy and will feel secured…. Aap ko mere baare mein koyi fikar nahin karna hai, mujhe pata hai aap mera hi rahoge, magar main hi chahti hoon ke aap Shweta ke liye bhi raho. Donon khush rahenge. Aap har roz to usske paas nahin rahoge nah? haffte mein 3 din usske paas , 4 din mere paas.. magar main chaahti hoon aap ussko separate ghar mein rakho, jab aap iss ghar mein raho to sirf mere raho aur usske ghar mein raho to sirf usski raho…. It is fine with me”

Abhi Navina ke aankhon ke gehraayi mein dekhte hue kaha,

“yaar tum insaan ho ya sach mein farishta ho, koyi wife khud apne husband ko kissi aur se shadi karne ko kehti hai kabhi? Tum kiss chiz ki bani ho?!”

Navina ne muskuraate hue kaha,

“Do it for me please!”

Abhi: “And what about Ruhi? She must be aware one day about it!”

Navina: “She will not be a problem I am sure.”

Abhi ne kaha,

“I will have to think a lot about it, will let you know later.”

Itna kehkar Abhi apne diaries rakhne ja raha tha ke mudhkar achanak Navina se pucha,

“Hello, kia tumse Shweta ne kaha mujhe convince karne ke liye ke uss se shaadi karun?!”

Navina ne chhatt taakte hue kaha,

“Oh my God! Kia ab mujhe kissi ke kehne par ap se kuch kehna chahiye? This is my own and personal thinking and suggestion Abhi!”

Abhi: “Sorry, okay okay I will let you know later!”

Navina: “Mujhko Ruhi ke replies padhne ko nahin doge?”

Abhi: “You want to read that? Not important! Usska rona dhona hai aur guilt ki feelings hai aur khud ko sazaa dekar aaj tak khud se aur apni family se badla leti rahi, she is crippled, in a wheelchair, I will take her for a check-up someday and I am sure she will walk again!”

Navina ne heyraan hote hue pucha,

“What? Itna sab kuch hua usske saath aur aap ne mujhe batana zaroori nahin samjha Abhi? Why?”

Abhi wapas Navina ke paas aya aur kaha,

“You know what? I am feeling relieved and I feel the love that I had for her 25 years back is no longer there now. If I compare her to you she has no value at all. You stay with me, we have shared happy and sad moments together, you have supported me all along in everything, you have been with me in ups and downs…. She did NOTHING for me….. that was not love for me from her side….

Had she really loved me she would have done things for me when I needed her, not now, not by burying herself that she proves that she loved me…. She used that opportunity when I was thrown out of her house to revenge against her family and all others because they had tormented her since she had given birth to Shweta…..

I was just a mean for her to avenge her family members….. I got nothing from all that, she was able to stand against her family due to me, I was only a way for her to help her to be brave and strong…. My love helped her to get strong and brave…. Main ek zarya tha usske liye, ussko apne khilaaf ke logon se ladne ke liye jo mera pyar ka naam aur sahara lekar ussne kiya…. Mere liye to kuch nahin kiya tha Ruhi ne!! Mere dil meijn ab usske liye wo pyar baaki raha hi nahin, ab hamdardi hai usske liye, Insaaniyat ke naate usski madad karunga, haan iss liye ke dil ka Rishta tha usske saath to ek Rishta rakhunga marte dam tak, magar wo pyar baaki nahin raha yaar!!!”

Navina ne sab tawajo se suna aur kaha,

“I see…. Do, mujhko usske jawaab do main padhne ke baad aap ko apna opinion deti hoon!”

Abhi: “okay lo, read it, but mujhe pehle yeh batao ke kia main ne jo abhi kaha sahih ai? Kyun ab mujhe lag raha ke 25 saal pehle wala pyar baaki nah raha? Mujhe bus yeh diaries ussko dena tha, de diya ussne sab padh liya main halka ho gaya aur wo 25 saal wala nah to pyar baaki hai nah junoon , nah kuch?! Aisa kyun feel ho raha ab mujhe!”

Navina ne kaha,

“Ho sakta hai ke aap sirf iss din ke intezaar mein the ke Ruhi tak inn diaries ko pahucha sako, aap ke liye Ruhi ko yeh sab pata hona zaroori tha ke aap kinn haalaaton se guzre the usske liye, usske pyar mein, may be aap chahte the ke Ruhi ko pata chale ke aap ka pyar usske liye kitna sacha tha, aur ab jab Ruhi ko sab pata chal gaya to aap ko araam mila, aur ab Ruhi bhi wo Ruhi to nahin nah jo 25 saal pehle thi? Aap 25 saal pehle wali Ruhi se pyar karte the junoon ki had tak, aaj jiss Ruhi se milkar aaye ho aap wo Ruhi 25 saal pehle wali Ruhi to nahin hai…. Jab koyi kissi ke saath har roz lagaataar rehta hai 25 saal tak to usske apne saamne badhte, ek ek pal usske haav bhaav, usske bure aur bhale saari chizon ko dekhta aur jaante hue 25 saal guzaarta hai to ussko koyi difference nahin dikhta uss mein…. Magar aap ne ussko 25 saal baad dekha to aap ko wo 25 saal pehle wali Ruhi nahin dikhi, to obviously aap ke wo sab feelings same nahin honge…. Mera aisa khayal hai, phir bhi main sab kuch padhne ke baad ap ko ziada deep opinion de paaungi….. Let me read her replies Abhi”

Abhi ne Navina ko Ruhi ke replies dekar nahane chala gaya.

Update 78 Navina Answers Abhi​

Navina ne Ruhi ke saare replies read kiya. Abhi naha kar wapas aya tab tak wo padh rahi thi to Abhi chala gaya apne study mein.
Kuch der baad Navina gayi ussko Ruhi ke replies lautaane to Abhi ne pucha,

“What do you think? What’s your opinion?”

Navina: “I have nothing to say regarding her answers. It concerns only you. I do not have to interfere in this. What I have to say is regarding your feelings about her and the love you had for her 25 years ago, jaise ke aap ne kaha ke ab aap ke dil mein wo purana wale pyar ka feeling ab nahin baaki raha.”

Abhi baith gaya aur Navina ko baithne ko kaha aur dilchaspi se ussko sunne ke liye tayyaar hua, Abhi jaanna chahta tha ke Navina ko ab usske feelings ke baare mein kia kehna hai. Navina ek bahot intelligent aurat thi, lecturer thi aur wo sahi opinion de sakti thi Abhi ne socha iss liye usski jawaab Abhi ke liye important tha.

Navina ne pehe Abhi ko muskuraate hue dekha aur kaha,

“Aap kyun ek student ki tarah aise baithne lage jaise mujhe koyi lecture deni hai ab?!”

Abhi: “Ari lecturer sahiba, abhi main ek student hi hoon aap se lessons lena hai mujhe aap mujhe wo lesson do nah main bataab hoon aap ki rae jaanne ke liye!”

Navina ne hansste hue kaha,

“Kuch khaas nahin kehna hai mujhe, buss Ruhi ke replies regarding aap ki diaries ke jawaab mein ussne aap ko wo sab bata diya jo aap jaanna chahte the. Aap ko santushti praapt hue usski replies padh kar, kyunke aap ke dil ke andar ek ghussa tha uske liye, ek naraazgi thi itne saalon se kyunke jiss waqt ussko aap ka sahara banna chahiye tha ussne aap ko akela aur tanha chorr diya tha… aur ab jab aap ne padha ke ussko tab aap ke pyar ke baare mein yakeen hua tab aap jaa chuke the usski life se, iss se aap ko Khushi hui kyunke ussko pachtaawa hua, yahan aap ki jeet hui aur usski haar, to aap ko apni jeet par Khushi hui hai. Ruhi ne sab saaf saaf bata diya aap ko ke jab aap chale gaye jab ussne aap ko kho diya tha tab ussko pachtawa hua, kyunke ussko foreign jaane aur amir desh mein ghumne ki ziada khwahish thi aap ke pyar ko ussne secondary samjha tha uss amit ke badle, unn sab ka ghussa tha aap mein aur Ruhi ki replies paakar aap ko acha laga ke ussne wo nahin paaya aur nah hi aap ko paaya…. Aap ne Ruhi se ek badla liya ussko apni diaries dekar, aur jab aap ko usska jawaab mila to aap ka badla pura hua kyunke aap ki jeet hui Ruhi ke replies ko padh kar. Ruhi ke replies mein sirf usski majbooriyan aur usska pachtawaa hai…. Jinn dinon aap uss se pyar karte the wo aap se pyar nahin karti thi, thodi bahot attraction thi ussko aap se, aap ne kiss vaghaira jab kiya tha ussko, ussko gale se lagaya tha wo sab usske liye ek naya Anubhav tha iss liye shaayd enjoy kar rahi thi kyunke real life mein uskso wo sab mauka nahin mila tha kabhi….

Mehboob aur apni maa ki kehne par aap ke close hone to lagi thi, phir bhi pyar ka ehsaas ussko tab hua jiss din aap usski chachi ke ghaar gaye the aur Shweta ne uss par chillaayi thi… tab ussko laga tha ke ussne kia khoya jab ek bachi ko wo ehsaas ho gaya tha aur ussko nahin…..

Aap ki love story mein pyar aap ka tha, pyar aap karte the paagalon ki tarah Ruhi se, tab pyar karte the jab wo aap ke saamne thi, jab aap ussko dekh rahe the usski adaaon se, usski jism ki kushbhoo se, usske baal se usski muskurahat se, uss se….. magar Ruhi ne aap se kab pyar kiya? Jab aap chale gaye tab? Tab aap kahan the usske paas? To kaun sa pyar kiya ussne aap se? aap ki parchaayin se? huh? Aap ki yaadon se? aap to the nahin? Aap ko chhuh bhi nahin sakti? Aap ko feel bhi nahin kar sakti thi?

Magar jab aap uss se pyar karte the, aap ussko, usski wajood ko, usski jism ko usski har ek chizz se pyar karte the… iss liye mere khayal se Ruhi ka pyar ek sapna jaisa tha, asli nahin tha… ek khwab tha usska pyar, aap ka pyar tab real tha….. aur aap ko usske, inn replies ko padh kar yeh pata chal gaya ke wo aap se nahin aap ke parchaayin se pyar karti rahi 25 saalon tak aap se nahin…. Aap ko pata chal gaya ke Ruhi ne aap ke uss pyar ke naam ke sahare se apne parents se badla liya, aap ke pyar ko utilise kiya Ruhi ne apne maa aur Mehboob aur manoj se badla lene ke liye…

Aap samajh gaye ke Ruhi ne aap ke pyar ko sif istemaal kiya aap se sach mein pyar kabhi kiya hi nahin…. Aap ka pyar ek zarya tha Ruhi ke liye apne uss ghutan wali life se nikalne ke liye, jab se ussne Shweta ko janam diya tha tabse lekar aap ke jaane tak Ruhi apni maa aur Mehboob ke niche dabbi rahi… ussko unn dinon se bachne ki aur door bhaagne ka koyi raasta hi nahin mila kabhi, ek mauka mila tha wo the aap aur aap ka pyar…..

Ruhi intelligent hai… Shweta ki maa hai, agar Shweta itni intelligent hai to usski maa bhi hogi nah? Ruhi ne bada game khela aap ke pyar ko istemaal karte hue…. Magar ussko yeh nahin pata tha ke uss khel mein wo aap ko kabhi nahin paegi, ussko pehle se hi pata tha ke ussne aap ko kho diya jiss din manoj ne aap ko ghar se nikala tha, tabhi ussko wo sunehra mauka mikla apni bhadaas nikaalne ke liye… wohi sabse bada mauka tha Ruhi ke liye aap ke uss beizzatti ki aur aap ke pyar ko istemaal karte hue apni khud ki ghuttan aur dabaao se nikalne ki…. Ruhi ne wohi kiya….. agar Ruhi ko aap se sacha pyar hota to ussne aap ko contact kiya hota…ussne aap ko ek phone to kiya hota phone lagne ke baad jabke ussne directory mein aap ka naam dekha tha, ek khat to likha hota aap ko ussne…..

Magar yeh sab nahin kiya kyunke ek to aap ko shakal dikhaane ki himmat nahin thi yeh ussne sahi likha hai, magar yeh nahin likha ke tab aap ke sath aajaati, shaadi kar leti aap se to apne ghar mein sabko wo uss tarah se itne saalon tak dominate nahin kar paati…..itne saalon tak ussne til til, pal pal, apni maa se, manoj se, Mehboob se apna badla liya….. sab aap ki pyar ko istemaal karte hue….. THAT’S IT! Period!”

Abhi hakka bakka reh gaya aur zor se seethe bajaya pheeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!! Aur kaha,

“That was a great lecture indeed lecturer Sahiba ppppfffffff!!!”

Navina chhup baith gayi Abhi ke expressions ko dekhte hue ke kahin ussko bura to nahin laga ke ussne Ruhi ke baare mein itna kuch keh diya.

Aur Abhi ne kaha,

“Aur main ne apna bhadaas nikala aaj uss se usski replies aur apne diaries wapas lekar nah? mera bhi bhadaas nikal gaya once jab ussko disries de diya, wo saare khattaapan jo tha itne saalon se sab mit gaye jab ussne sab padh liya, jab main ussko yeh bataane mein kaamyaab hua ke main usske liye kitna kuch jhela tha kitna roya tha etc… mujhe yehi sab pata karaana tha ussko aur aaj sab kar diya to mera bhi bhadaas nikal gaya aisa hi hai nah?!”

Navina: “Mujhko to aisa hi lag raha hai varna aap yeh nah kehte ke ab aap ke dil mein usske liye wo pehle wala feelings baaki nahin rahe!”
Abhi: “main tumhare baton mein se iss baat se bilkool sehmat hoon ke Ruhi ne apni family walon se badla lene ke liye mere pyar aur beizat hone ka faeda uthaya, istemaal kiya uss haalaat ko…. Ussko behtareen mauka mil gaya tha ab uthne ke liye upar jaane ke liye sabke nazron mein upar uthne ke liye wohi mauka tha Ruhi ke liye aur ussne kia khub use kiya uss din ko, 5th January 1986 ko, wah!! Politics kar sakti thi Ruhi to hai nah?!”

Navina: “Full politician hai, honshiyaar hai aap ko askar kehti rehti thi aap bahot tez ho, bahot honshiyaar ho, shayad aap ke hi peintre istemaal kiya ussne bhi hehehehe!”

Abhi: “So? Now what?!”

Navina: “Mujhse kyun puch rahe ho aap? Aur haan aap ko aur iss liye bhi usske liye wo wala pyar nahin feel ho raha kyunke aap ke paas ab usski beti jo hai… same genes, same smell which you loved so much, same body curves which you adored… you have her with you for past 7 years then how will you feel the same for Ruhi now when she is older and you have her younger version with you today? This is another great reason I believe! You lucky man Abhi, my lucky husband….. in fact YOU ARE A VERY LUCKY PERSON REALLY YOU ARE!! THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN YOU LOST RUHI YOU GOT ME, YOU GOT THE GARAGE BACK, YOU GOT GREAT OFFERS FOR YOUR JOB, YOU GOT LAND FROM THE GOVT, YOU GOT OFFERS FROM JAPAN, LATELY YOU GOT SHWETA…. AN YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE ME WHO AGREE THAT YOU GET MARRIED TO SHWETA, AND YOU ALSO GOT A DAUGHTER…. ARE YOU NOT A VERY LUCKY PEPRSON ABHI??”

Abhi uth kar Navina ke paas gaya ussko bade zor se baahon mein bharra aur kiss kiya Navina ko, khub pyar kiya ussko aur donon ek dusre ke baahon mein quaid rahe bahot der tak.

Update 79 Abhi Takes All To Meet Ruhi​

Abhi ne Navina, Shweta aur Aruhi ko apne ghar mein mil kar baat kiye ke wo sab Ruhi ke yahan jaa rahe hein aur uss se kia baat karna hai sabko. Aruhi ko araam se samjhaya ke Ruhi usski nani hai, Shweta ki maa hai wo. Aruhi bahot confuse hui kyunke wo jahan rehti thi, matlab Ruhi ki chachi ko hi apni nani samajhti thi itne dinon se. Abhi, Shweta aur Navina sab ne uss ko achi tarah se samjhaya ke kaise Ruhi usski nani hai real mein. Bahot mushkil hua Aruhi ko samjhaane ke liye.

Ab kyunke teen log mil kar Aruhi ko samjha rahe the to bachchi ke samajh mein agaya ke usski real nani Ruhi hai jiss se wo milne jaa rahi thi Abhi ke sath.

Abhi ne ruhi ko phone karke bata diya tha ke wo sab ane wale hein.

Udhar Ruhi ne Mahesh ki wife ko bata diya ke kuch mehmaan ane wale the sab ko receive karna tha, to wahan sab ready the inn sabko receive karne ke liye.

Aur din ke 3 baje sab wahan pahunche. Abhi ne car park kiya aur Ruhi, Mahesh ki wife aur 3 bache sab ready the sabko receive karne ke liye.

Andar jaate hi Shweta lipat gayi apni ma se aur donon ka rona dhona shuru hua….. Shweta maafi mang rahi thi apni maa se keh rahi thi ke ussko bilkool bhi pata nahin tha jinn haalaton se wo guzri thi ussko bachaane ke liye, ussko anathalay mein nahin bhejne ki bajae ussko usski chachi ke yahan chorra tha, Shweta ne yahe kaha rote hue Ruhi se,

“Main aap se bahot pyar karti thi bachpan mein magar aap mujhse door rehte the, yahan jab bhi aati thi to aap mujhse alag ho jaate the, main wo sab feel karti thi, mera man rota tha ke aap mujhse kyun itni nafrat karti ho…. mujhe har wo din yaad hai jab bhi main aati thi to aap kaise rehte the mujhse…. Sirf jab Abhi yahan kaam karta tha sirf unn dinon aap mujhse pyar se mile the varna hamesha aap mujhse doorie rakhte the… jab mujhe pata chala ke aap ne mujhko janam diya hai to main bahot royi thi yeh soch kar ke aap mujhse nafrat karte the jab main aap ke saamne aati thi… iss liye last time aap se jhagda karke chali gayi thi…. Main ne socha main aap ki ghalati ka natija hoon iss liye aap mujhse hamesha nafrat karti rahogi issi liye main ne soch liya ke aap ke saamne kabhi nahin aungi… mujhe maaf kardo maa mujhe nahin pata tha aap ne kia kuch jhela tha mere liye, mujhko Abhi ne sab bataya aap ne to kabhi wo sab nahin bataya tha mujhe!!”

Ruhi Shweta ke peeth sehlaate hue kaha,

“Main kaise batati tujhse uss din? Tu kuch sunne ke liye tayyaar hi nahin thi, tu mujhe sunaane aayi thi aur suna kar chali gayi mujhe to bolne ka mauka hi nahin diya tha tumne Shwetu? Khair ab jaane do, Abhi se pata chal gaya sab kuch nah tumko? Mujhe kitni Khushi ho rahi hai tere gale lag kar main bata nahin sakti ri….”

Mahesh ki wife ne Abhi aur Ruhi ko baithne ko kaha aur Mahesh ke bache bahot jald Aruhi ke friend ban gaye. Chaaron ek saath araam se mil jul kar baatein kar rahe the.

Jab Ruhi ne Aruhi ko gale se lagaya to Rote hue kaha,

“Ari tu to bilkool apni mummy jaisi dikh rahai hai ri, hey Abhi Shweta aisi hi nahin dikhti thi jinn dinon aap yahan kaam karte the, aur aap ne ussko meri chhoti behen samajta tha?”

Abhi ne haan mein sar hillaya…. To baad mein Aruhi ne abhi ke goad mein baithe hue pucha,

“Aap mummy ko tab se jaante ho jab mummy meri jitni chhoti thi?”

Abhi ne hansste hue haan kaha Aruhi ko. To Aruhi ne pucha,

“Tab aap kitne bade the papa?!”

Abhi ne usski baat ko taalte hue kaha,

“Tab main bhi chhota tha sweetheart!”

Jab Aruhi ne Abhi ko “papa” bulaya to wahan sanaata chhah gaya. Sab log khamosh ho gaye Aruhi ko Abhi ko papa bulaate hue sunkar. Ruhi bade bade aankhon se Aruhi, to kabhi Shweta ko to kabhi Abhi ko dekhne lagi thi samajhne ki koshish karte hue tab Abhi ne kaha,

“Yehi surprise dena tha tumko Ruhi….. main ne Aruhi ko adopt kiya hai yeh ab meri beti hai aur main isska papa aur Navina isski badi mummy!”

Ruhi ke aankhen bharr aaye aur bahon ko khol kar Abhi ko apne baahon mein lene ko bulaya, Abhi ne Navina ke taraf dekha aur Navina ne haan mein sar hillaaya, matlab Abhi ko Ruhi ke baahon mein jaane ki anumatti diya Navina ne!

Abhi aur Ruhi sabke saamne ek dusre ke baahon mein the aur Ruhi ne Abhi ke gaal ko chumte hue kaha,

“Itna bada ehsaan kar diya meri family par aap ne Abhi?” Aur turant ahiste se Ruhi ne Abhi ke kaan mein kaha,

“To ab Shweta ko bhi apna hi lo nah Abhi, wo akeli hai, usski life bhi sanwar jaegi….”

Abhi bilkool bhi nahin soch raha tha ke Ruhi ke taraf se bhi yeh baat sunne ko milega… Navina ne to kaha hi tha ab Ruhi ne bhi wohi baat keh dala, aur ab Abhi Shweta ko dekhne laga yeh sochte hue ke kia ussko uss se shaadi kar lena chahiye Aruhi ki bhalaayi ke liye?

Mahesh ki wife ne sab ko chai aur biscuits serve kiya. Aur tab Navina gayi Ruhi ke paas baithne. Uss se jab gale mili to Abhi donon ko ghaur se dekh raha tha, aur Ruhi ki nazar Abhi par the.

Jab Navina Ruhi ke paas baith gayi to Navina ne Ruhi se kaha,

“Main pichle 25 saalon se Abhi se kehti aayi hoon ke agar aap se kabhi wo mile to mujhse zaroor milwaaye kyunke mujhe aap ko thanks kehna hai.”

Ruhi ne pehle Abhi ke taraf dekha phir Navina se pucha,

“Mujhko thanks kehna hai? Kyun main aisa kia kar diya ke aap ko mujhe thanks karni hai?!”

Navina ne tab Abhi aur Shweta ke taraf dekhte hue kaha,

“Aap ne Abhi ko chorr jo diya tab nah wo mujhko mile, to ussko chorrne ke liye thanks kehna tha aap ko. Ab ap ne ek heere ko khoya ussko chorr kar ya nahin yeh aap jaanon magar mujhe Abhi mein ek anmol heera mila jo aap ko milna chahiye tha…. nah aap usse chorrte, nah wo aap ke liye wo sab likhta diaries mein, nah main wo diaries padhti aur nah mujhko Abhi se pyar hota…. Unn diaries ko padh kar mujhko dikh gaya ke Abhi kaisa insaan hai, kitna pyar bhara hua hai usske andar aur aap ne uss pyar ko thukraya, to main kaise ussko khone ko accept karti? To aap ka bahot dhanyawaad ussko mere liye chorrne ke liye 1986 mein….”

Ruhi ne sar jhuka liya ek lavz bhi nahin kaha. Shweta Abhi ko dekh kar muska rahi thi.

Koyi ek ghante ke baad Navina ne kaha,

“Abhi udhar ek sea side hai nah aap Shweta aur Aruhi ko ghuma laao mujhe Ruhi se kuch private baatein karni hai.”

Sab ko shock laga yeh sun kar. Khudh Ruhi ko jhatka laga ke kyun Abhi ko baahar jaane ko keh rahi hai Navina…..

Navina mein leadership qualities bhi the, jo Abhi mein bhi tha, magar jab wife baat karti hai to husband ka kahan chalta to Abhi ne agree kiya aur Shweta aur Aruhi ko lekar nikla, magar Mahesh ke teenon bachon ko bhi saath legaya….. aur sab uss east wale beach par kuch time spend karne gaye…..

Udhar Ruhi se kia baat kiya Navina ne yeh sab ko baad mein pata chalega sahi waqt aane par.

Jab seaside se sab wapas aaye to Abhi ne kuch baat kiye Ruhi se. Abhi ne pucha,

“Ek baat puchna tha, uss din puchna bhool gaya tha main. Uss Gaurav se kia tumhara phir koyi contact hua tha unn dinon? Kia ussko pata tha ke tumne usske bache ko janam diya tha?!”

Jawaab dene se pehle Ruhi ne kaha ke wo Shweta ke saamne wo jawaad degi, aur uss waqt Shweta Mahesh ki wife ke saath kuch baatein kar rahi thi alag kamre mein, to ussko aur Navina ko bhi bulwaya Ruhi ne aur Gaurav ke baare mein bataya.

Ruhi ne kaha,

“Jab Shweta yahan mujhse milne aane lag gayi thi to Gaurav ko pata chal gaya tha kissi tarah ke wo usski beti hai. Pata nahin kiss ne uss se kaha, main ne to apni pregnancy ke baare mein bhi kissi ko kabhi pata chalne nahin diya tha, magar Gaurav ko kaun sab khabar deta tha aaj bhi mujhko nahin pata.

To ek din Gaurav aya tha iss aangan mein sharaab ke nashe mein dhutt…. Abhi wo aap ke kaam karne se buss kuch mahine pehle hi hua tha… aur jinn dinon aap yahan kaam karte the mujhe bahot darr tha ke kissi din wo sabke saamne aakar koyi tamaasha nah kare…. Aur wo aya bhi tha, aangan mein araha tha ek din weise hi nashe mein jab aap yahan kaam kar rahe the aur Shweta aayi hui thi aap ke saath khel rahi thi ussi din Gaurav ko dekha gaya aangan mein, main road ke paas to maa ne mehboob ko bheja tha ussko bhagaane ke liye….

Uss se pehle ek din aya tha bilkool nashe mein aur maa ko bulaya tha, main nikli thi aur ussko dekh kar wapas andar chali gayi to ussne maa se kaha ke ussko apni beti ko dekhna hai. Maa ne uss se kaha ke usski koyi beti nahin hai yahan…. Mujhe pata nahin ussko kaise pata chal gaya tha… wo itne nashe mein tha ne girr raha tha har baar phir khud khade hokar ladkhadaate zubaan se baat kar raha tha…. ussne kaha ke hum kitna bhi chhupaaye ek din wo apni beti se zaroor milega… mehboob aur manoj ne ussko pakar ke yahan se wapas kiya tha…. aur ek din main ne ussko dukaan ke baraamde par nashe mein dhutt girra hua dekha tha…. bilkool bedwa ho gaya tha jawaani mein hi… kuch kaam bhi nahin karta tha pata nahin kahan se ussko pine ke liye paisa milta tha… rehta to 20 kms door hai yahan se magar pine yahin ata tha hamare ilaake mein; sab yahan ke log ussko jaan gaye the, sharaabi bedwa kehte the sab ussko…..

Aur ek din pata chala ke ek truck ke niche aakar mar gaya wo weise hi nashe ki haalat mein!!”

Yeh sunkar Abhi ne Shweta ke taraf dekha, Abhi ne socha Shwheta ko dukh hoga magar kissi ko kuch bhi nahin feel hua, nah Ruhi ko, nah Shweta ko nah kissi ko bhi. Sab normal the Gaurav ke baare mein jaan kar. Magar Abhi ka dil dukkha, ussko samajh mein aya ke Gaurav ko kitna mann hua hoga apni beti ko dekhne ke liye. Ruhi ki ma ko Gaurav ko ek baar do Shweta ka chehra dekha dena chahiye tha bechara sukoon se to marta!

To be continued………..

Update 80 Navina Talks to Abhi and Shweta​

Ruhi ke yahan se sab nikle to raaste mein jaate waqt Abhi Aruhi aur Shweta ko pehle unnke ghar chorrne wala tha magar Navina ne donon ko apne ghar lechalne ko kaha aur dinner ke baad wapas donon ko chorrne ko kaha Abhi se.

Of course, Abhi aur Navina saamne baithe the aur Shweta aur Aruhi piche wale seat par aur raaste bhar Shweta Abhi ko rear-view mirror mein dekhti gayi, beshak Abhi bhi ussko baar baar dekh raha tha to har baar Navina ahiste se uss se kehta,

“ghar chal kar khub dekhna ussko abhi raaste par nazar rakho aap!!”

Jab car ne Abhi ke yard mein entry liya to Aruhi zor se chillaayi,

“woohoo mera dusra ghar yaaaaaayyyyy! Papa main aaj raat badi mummy ke pas soungi!”

To Navina ne kaha,

“Yes darling tum mere paas hi rehna aaj raat ko!”

Abhi: “What? Main ne socha dinner ke baad chorrne jaunga donon ko!”

Navina: “Ab bachchi rehna chahti hai to reh jaane do donon ko, uss raat ki tarah aap udhar… samjhe…!”

Yeh sun kar kuch sharmaate hue Shweta ne Abhi ko dekha daanton mein honth dabaate hue.

Jab kuch der baad sab ghar mein daakhil ho gaye aur Abhi aur Shweta ko mauka mila akele baat karne ko to Shweta ne kaha,

“Dekha aap ne ussko sab pata hai mujhko yakeen hai; kyun kaha ke aap aur main udhar??…. What did she mean? Ussko sab pata hai I bet aur ab mujhe darr lagne laga hai, Abhi aap Aruhi ko rehne do aur mujhe wapas ghar chorr dena please…”

Abhi: “Arey yaar cool nah she did not mean anything, usska matlab tha ke main usske room mein nahin alag room mein rahunga, tum kyun fikar karne lagi ho…..”

Aur thik tabhi Navina ne Aruhi ko ek game khelne ke liye dekar Abhi aur Shweta ko lounge mein bulaya kuch baat karne ke liye.

Jab teenon sofe par baithe lounge mein to Navina ne kaha,

“Shweta, I want you to marry Abhi, I have already told this to him and this will be good for the future regarding Aruhi.”

Shweta ka chehra laal ho gaya ussko garmi mehsoos hui aur ussne zor se Abhi ka haath pakar liya, usska hath kaamp raha tha kyunke ussne bilkool nahin expect kiya tha ke aisa koyi baat sunne wali thi wo! Shweta Abhi ke chehre mein sawaali nazron se dekh rahhi thi kyunke Navina ne kaha ke ussne iss baat ko Abhi se kar liya tha. Phir ahiste se ussne Abhi se pucha,

“Really ap ko pata tha yeh baat?!”

Magar ussko Navina ne jawaab diya iss se pehle ke Abhi kuch kehta.

“Mujhe tum donon ke baare mein bahot pehle se sab pata hai Shweta. It will be a clean relationship if you both get married, tab Aruhi ko koyi sawaal nahin karna parega jab wo badi hogi to.

Wo Abhi ko apna papa maanti hai bachpan se hi, ussko abhi kuch samajh mein nahin araha hai magar jab adult hogi tab seinkron sawaal karegi, tab nah tumhare paas nah Abhi ke paas jawaab hoga ussko dene ke liye, tab kia kahoge usse tum donon ke you both only have an affair? Is that right? For me wedding is a better option to keep it clean and the girl will know that you both are husband and wife…. Yes, she will know that her father has two wives that is not bad, she will understand when she grows up.”

Shweta ne sar jhuka liya ek lavz bhi nahin bol rahi thi, may be guilty feel kar rahi thi….. phir Navina samajh gayi ke Shweta kia feel kar rahi hogi to wo usske paas baithne gayi aur Shweta ko gale lagaya, to Shweta rone lagi aur Navina se maafi maangne lagi. Navina usske sar sehlaate hue kaha,

“Ari kyun ro rahi ho ab? Main khud tumko apna sautan bana rahi hoon, magar mere rules honge jo tum donon ko respect karni hogi agree?!”

Shweta ne rote hue kaha,

“aap jo bhi kaho madam mujhe Manzoor hai!”

To Navina ne kaha,

“Abhi 4 din mere saath rahega to 3 din tumhare saath aur agle haffte mein 4 din tumhare saath to 3 din mere saath… exceptions ho sakte hein agar koyi tyohaar hogi to donon jagah ek hi baar aa ya jaa sakta hai ya weise occasions par hum sab ek saath reh lenge ek hi ghar mein matlab tum hamaare yahan ajana….”

Shweta ne dheemi awaaz mein kaha,

“I agree all that you will say madam.”

Tab Navina ne kaha,

“Iss shaadi mein Aruhi present nahin hogi, ussko kuch din baad shaadi ke potos dikhayenge aur kahenge ke tum donon ki shaadi bahot pehle ho gayi thi….. you got me both of you?!!”

Abhi ke bolne ka time tha to ussne kaha,

“And what about Ruhi? Yeh usski beti hai ussko pata nahin chalega?!”

Navina ne kaha,

“Wo aap mujh par chorr dijiye, kuch bhi nahin hoga aur wo kuch bhi nahin kahegi.”

Aur Shweta ne kaha,

“Aur meri wo mummy jahan rehti hoon? Ussko to batana padega nah?”

Navina: “ussko tum khud bata dena ke tum Abhi se shaadi kar rahi ho, can you?!”

Tab Shweta ne haan mein sarr hillaya magar kaha,

“magar behtar hota agar koyi aur ussko batate to….!”

Tab Navina ne Abhi ke taraf dekhte hue pucha,

“Aap Ruhi ki chachi ko bata sakte ho kia?!”

Abhi ne kaha ke haan wo khud bataane jaega ussko.

Kuch der aur Navina ne donon se baat kiye ke kiss tariq ko shadi hogi aur bahot log nahin honge sirf close ones jaise Abhi ka pura family members, Navina ke taraf se ziada log nahin aur Shweta ke friends, colleagues, aur close ones…. Religious ceremony ke baad ek chota sa receptions hoga, photos liye jayehge aur that’s all. Aur Navina ne donon ko shaadi ki taiyaariyan shuru karne ko kaha aur chali gayi Aruhi ke paas.

Navina ke jaate hi, Shweta ne Abhi se munh banaate hue kaha ke ussko sab pata tha magar wo uss se chhupa raha tha… to Abhi ne uss se kaha ke usske liye sab surprise rakhna chahta tha…. Shweta ki Khushi ki intehaa nah tha, ussne bade zor se Abhi ko baahon mein bhar liya aur kaha,

“Aap mere husband banonge, oh my God this is a dream come true, my childhood dream…. Kahin main sapna to nahin dekh rahi hoon? Abhi pinch me please…..”

Abhi ne ussko sach mein pinch kiya aur zor se, to Shweta chillayi aur Abhi ko maarte hue kaha,

“Itni zor se pinch karta hai koyi kia? Dekho laal nishaan ho gaya!”

Abhi ne ussko pyar se kiss kiya aur kaha,

“I have lots to do now, before I marry you, I get to buy a house for you sweetheart, you will be my wifie now baby hehehehe!!”

Shweta:”Abhi, Ruhi di, I mean mummy ko shock lagega hamari wedding se, don’t you think so?”

Abhi: “Wo bhi yehi chahta hai ke main tumko bhi apna loon!”

Shweta: “What? You are kidding nah? please tell me!”

Abhi: “are not kidding ussne mujhse khud kaha jab main ne kaha ke Aruhi ko main ne adopt kar liya to dhire se mere kaan mein uss ne kaha ke ab tumko bhi apna loon tumhari life settle ho jaegi!”

Shweta: “OH no!! She loved you nah? How would she feel?”

Abhi: “You know Shweta, the truth is that she NEVER loved me…. Or if she loved me it was just for a few moment, the moments I kissed her the day she was leaving me on the last day at work there, ya jinn dinon main usske saamne tha tab usske dil mein mere liye pyar ubhre honge kuch der ke liye, magar usske dil mein kuch aur chal rahe the unn dinon… unn dinon ussko France jaana tha, Amit ke baare mein sochti rehti thi, main chhota tha usske liye kyunke usska dimaagh tab Mehboob aur usski maa chalaati thi, Ruhi apne dimaagh se nahi chalti thi unn dinon….

Mere taraf attract hui zaroor thi wo, magar sacha pyar MAIN NE USS SE KIYA THA ussne mujhse nahin….. jiss din main uss ghar se ruswa hokar nikla Ruhi ne bahot intelligently uss mauke ka faida uthaya aur apne maa se, mehbob se, aur manoj se badla liya…. Ussko ek sunehra mauka mil gaya tha khud ko upar uthaane ke liye kyun ke jabse ussne tumko janam diya tha tab se wo dabi rahi thi uss ghar mein ek ghulaam bani hui thi aur jo bhi Mehboob aur usski maa kehti thi Ruhi wohi karti thi.

Aur haan tabhi Ruhi ko mere pyar ka bhi ehsaas hua, gehri choat lagi zaroor hogi ussko aur mere jaane ke baad realise kiya hoga ke ussne kia khoya…. But it was too late aisa kahenge sab nah? but IT WAS NOT TOO LATE…. Agar Ruhi mujhse wo wala pyar karti jo main karta tha to mujhko wo contact kar sakti thi…. She had all option to contact me BUT SHE DID NOT…… do you know why?

Because of she contacted me, to main ussko wahan se shaadi karke lejaata aur usska sapna pura nahin hota…. Ussko zabardast badla lena tha sabse wahan par jo usske kiya, ussne apni maa ki, Mehboob ki, manoj ka jeena haram kar diya, khud bhi peesti rahi aur unn sab ko peesti gayi pichle 25 Saalon mein……

Ruhi ka maksad mujhe paana nahin tha, ussa maksad unn sabko sabak seekhana tha….

jo ghalati ussne teenager mein kiya tha usski jo sazaa mili thi ussko usski maa aur Mehboob se 6 saalon tak dab ke rehna, ghulaam ki tarah zindagi jeena wo sab bhadaas nikaalna tha Ruhi ko iss liye mere paas aane ki bajae wo wahin rahi sab ke life mein aag lagaane ke liye jo ussne baakhubi kiya… Zabardast badla liya Ruhi ne sabse….. mere liye nahin; Apni khud par kiye gaye zulmon ka badla liye Ruhi ne sabse wahan par… yahan tak ke usski nani, mama, maami jinn jinn logon ne usskko tumko janam dene ke liye doshi thehraye the sab se badla liye Ruhi ne, aur khud ki zindagi bhi barbaad kiye ussne saath saath…. Magar ussko wo Manzoor tha, khud ko jala kar dusron ke sath bhi aag lagaya ussne and she had been successful….. I WAS JUST A MEAN for her to succeed in her endeavours, my love for her was a great MEAN for her to do all that….. the real love for me, she in fact NEVER HAD….”

Update 81 Wedding Preparations​

Do hafte the Shadi ke tayyariyan ke liye. Navina ne hall book kar liye the ek Sunday ke liye aur sab intezaam kar liye gaye the religious ceremony ke liye bhi, aur usske baad hall mein reception ke liye.

Aur Abhi ne buss ek din dhundne ke baad online ek ghar select kiya jissko legaya Shweta ko dikhaane ke liye. Naya ghar tha ek hafte pehle bann ke tayaar hua tha. Agency walon se baat hui aur Abhi ne ghar kharid liya. Abhi ke ghar se bus 100 metres ki doori par tha. Wahan bhi swimming pool tha jahan Aruhi ko swimming seekhaya jaa sakta tha.

Ghar ko ek hafte mein hi furniture kara diya Abhi ne aur tab Navina ko bhi legaya ghar dikhaane ko.

Usske baad Abhi gaya Ruhi ki chachi ke ghar jahan 25 saal pehle gaya tha Ruhi ke liye aaj gaya Shweta ke liye. Chachi budhi ho gayi thi, aur Abhi itna amir aadmi tha ke chachi ek naukrani lag rahi thi Abhi ke saamne. Turant chachi ne haan kiya kyunke Shweta ne sab pehle samjha diya tha usski uss mummy ko. To ussko invite kiya gaya shaadi mein aur Shweta se Abhi ne kaha ke apni uss mummy ko apna naya ghar khud lejaa kar dikha sakti hai.

Chachi ke saamne Aruhi ne zor se ‘papaaaaa’ chillate hue aakar Abhi ke goad mein baith gayi bilkool jaise 25 saal pehle Shweta aakar Abhi ke goad mein baithi thi jiss din Abhi aya tha uss ghar mein Ruhi ko dhundte hue.

Chachi ne wo dekh kar kaha,

“wo din yaad agaya Abhi jab aap Ruhi ke liye aaye the aur yeh meri Shweta aakar aap ke goad mein aise hi baithi thi yaad hai aap ko? Mujhko wo nazara dikh raha hai, aaj isski beti baithi hai aap ke goad mein? Shweta tabhi se aap se bahot pyar karti thi, agar aap ne pehla shadi nahin kiya hota to issi se aap ki shaadi ho jaati uss doctor ki jagah!”

Abhi ne sarcastically kaha,

“haan aaur uss din ruhi yahin thi andar aura ap ne mujhse KHHOT kaha tha ke chali gai hai issi Shweta jaisi bachi ke saath aap ne JHOOT kaha tha hahaha!”

Aruhi ne pucha,

“Papa mummy aap ke goad mein aise baithi thi yahin par? wo kitni chhoti thi tab?!”

Abhi ke saath Shweta aur usski mummy ne bhi hanss diye Aruhi ke baat ko sunkar….

Yeh ho gaya to problem yeh tha ke shaadi ke roz Aruhi ko kahan chhorra jayega?

Abhi ne usska bhi intezaam kar diya. Uss roz Aruhi Abhi ke ghar par rahegi Abhi ke sabse purane, imaandaar mulazim ke saath. Wo buzurg aadmi tha aur Abhi ka bahot wafadaar tha, ussi ke saath Aruhi ko ghar mein chorrega Abhi. Aruhi ko samjha diya gaya ke uss roz sab log ek special program attend karne jayenge jahan bacchhe allowed nahin hai.

Abhi gaya tab Naina ke ghar. Abhi ke saare bhai aur behnon ki shaadi ho gaye the, pichle 25 salon mein. Sab ke alag alag ghar the. Abhi ka baap nahin raha magar maa ab bhi thi aur 78 saal ki thi. Abhi aksar jaya karta tha uss se milne. Wo last wale bete ke saath rehti thi.

Naina ke 3 bachche the, 2 betiyan aur ek beta. Baaki saare bhai aur chhoti behen ke bhi bache the. Bhaiyon mein se do bhai Abhi ke garage mein hi kaam karte the. Allumimuim section mein. Donon supervisors the – magar Abhi ne donon ko pehle kaam seekhaya tha 3 saalon tak tab promote kiya tha as supervisors.

Abhi apne family ka achcha khayal rakhta tha aur kissi chiz ki kami nahin hone deta tha; nah kissi bhai ke ghar mein nah behnon ke ghar mein. Inn sab mein se ek bahot close thi Abhi ke wo thi Naina ki badi beti jo aur do saal mein 18 ki hone wali thi.. wo aya jaya karti thi Abhi ke ghar, aur Navina ke bhi close thi. Aur haal mein usski dosti Aruhi aur Shweta se bhi ho gayi thi, aur ussi ke zarye Naina ko bhi khabar mil gaya tha ke Abhi dusri shaadi karne wala hai.

Jiss din Abhi gaya Naina ko invite karne to Naina bahot khush thi aur apne bhai ke gale lagte hue kaha,

“Wah bhai, you deserve it…. Aap to 3 ya 4 shaadiyan bhi karo to sahi hi lagega kyunke aap jitna amir ho gaye ho itne dhan Daulat baantna hi chahiye kayi gharo mein hihihihihi!”

Kissi European author ne kaha tha, iss waqt usska naam yaad nahin, ussne kaha tha ke agar har amir aadmi ke 4 ya ziada biwiyan ho, aur sabke saat 4 bache to dunya mein gharibon ki sankhiya ghat jaate. Funny hai magar gehraayi se socha jaaye to soch kar dekho, ek karodpati ke agar 4 patniyan ho aur sabke saath 4 bache ho, to 12 bache amir honge, aur phir wo 12 bache bhi apne baap ki tarah 4 patniyon se shaadi kare aur sab ke weise hi 12 bache ho to kitne amiri badhti jaegi hahahahaha, funny sound karta hai magar sach mein kitnon ka bhala ho jata weise.

Navina ne apne family walon mein se kissi ko nahin bulaya apni maa ke siwa. Kyunke Navina ke family mein ziada koyi tha hi nahin ek uss behen ke ilawa Namita jo Canada rehne chali gayi thi shaadi ke baad.

Hall book kar liya gaya aur Abhi ne decoration walon ko bhi hire kar liye sab sahi karne ke liye aur catering walon se bhi deal final kar li gayi…..

Rahi baat Ruhi ki to jab Abhi aur Shweta ne Navina se Ruhi ko bhi bataane ko kaha tab Navina ne kaha ke ussne sab sambhaal liya hai Ruhi ke baare mein koyi kuch bhi nahin kahega, buss shaadi ke roz wo haazir hogi.

Abhi aur Shweta ko shock laga yeh sunkar aur Abhi ne puchha,

“What? Do you mean ke ussko already pata hai ke I am wedding Shweta? Please tell me, how? Kaise pata hai ussko, kia tum uss se contact mein ho?!”

Navina ne Abhi ko jawaab dete hue kaha,

“I want that to be a surprise for both of you. Don’t worry everything is fine and will be fine.”

Shweta ne pucha,

“Magar wo kaise aegi yahan? Ussko jagah ka pata bhi hai? Who will push her wheelchair etc?!”

Navina ne phir kaha,

“Are main ne kaha nah ke main ne sab sambhaal liya hai….. so stop worrying about that you both get yourself ready for the day, and I do not want anything to be delayed and everything must be punctual. I want punctuality. And yes, Abhi will you give a speech on that day in the hall? If yes do prepare your words.”

Abhi ne pucha,

“Kia tum speech dogi uss din?”

Navina: “No I will not, but someone will!”

To be continued…..

Update 82 The Wedding​

Hall mein koyi 30 se 40 log the sirf. Stage par dulhan ki dress mein Shweta chamak rahi thi, apne umar se 15 saal aur bhi jawaan dikh rahi thi au khubsurti to jaan lewa thi hi usski. Usski muskurahat aur bhi dil dhadkaane wala tha, aur Abhi kuch kum nahin dikh raha tha, kitne saare jawaan ladkiyon ke dil ke dhadkhan tha wo bhi. Very handsome guy indeed.

Abhi ki behen Naina ne ek chota sa speech diya donon ko introduce karte hue aur shubkaamnayein dete hue.

Phir kuch der sab normal guzra aur gate mein entry hui Ruhi ki. Navina ussko push karte hue stage ke taraf laa rahi thi. Ruhi white dress mein thi, chasma pehne hue wo bhi achi tarah se dressed thi aur achchi dikh rahi thi. Ruhi, Shweta aur Aruhi teenon ke chehre closely milte julte the. Aruhi badi hogi to bilkool Shweta ki tarah hi dikhegi. Aur Shweta ke chehre mein abhi Ruhi ki wo jhalak the jo 25 saal pehle Ruhi mein thi. Abhi Shayad iss vajah se bhi Shweta se ziada karib hua tha usske jism ke khushbhoo ke ilawa.

Ruhi bahot hi khush dikh rahi thi jaise usske dil ke saare bojh utar gaye the, aur armaan pure ho gaye the.

Stage par wheelchair ko kiya gaya to sabse pehle Ruhi ne Shweta ko gale lagaa kar ussko ek envelope mein kuch gift diya aur shubkaamnayein wish kiye usske donon gaalon par kiss karte hue... Tab Abhi ke seene se lag kar ussko bhi ek envelope diya aur ussko bhi good wishes diye aur Abhi ke gaalon par kiss kiya.

Phir Ruhi ko bithaya gaya donon wedded couple ke paas.

Aur kuch der baad family members mein se ek ek karke sab Abhi aur Shweta ko wish karne aur gift dene gaye; bahot saaare pics liye gaye aur aakhir mein Navina ne mike liya aur announce kiya ke Ruhi ek speech degi ceremony ko close karne ke liye.

Naina interest se sunne ke liye baithi, Ruhi ki wheelchair ko front mein kiya gaya aur mike usske haath mein diya gaya.

Ruhi ne gala saaf kiya aur muskuraate hue sorry kaha phir mudhkar Shweta ke taraf ishaare karte hue bolna shuru kiya,

“Yeh meri ek lauti beti hai, Shweta. Janam issko main ne diya magar paala issko meri chachi ne jo wahan baithi hai. Aap sabhon se mwaafi chahti hoon agar main kuch ziada bolne lagi to, magar aaj mujhe bolna hai, aaj meri baari hai bolne ki, ek bahot lambe arse tak mujhko khamosh kiya gaya, mujhse bolne ka haq chhina gaya tha.

Ek maa se usski bachi ko koyi kabhi kissi haal mein juda nah kare yeh meri aap sab se iltejah hai aaj. Mujhko sirf iss liye meri beti se alag kiya gaya kyunke main ek bin biyahi maa thi. Underage thi main jab issko janam diya tha main ne aur ek underage bachi kia kar sakti hai, wohi karna pada jo mere maa baap aur pariwaar walon ne decide kiya, mera koyi sunta kahan mujhko sirf ungliyan dikhaye jaate the mujhko dabba kar rakha jaata tha. majboor, laachaar, bebuss main khud bachchi thi aur dabbi rahi sabke niche. Roti bilakti rahi apni bachchi ko seene se lagaane ke liye magar nahin mujhko kaha gaya ke yeh mera paap hai, main ne gandagi ko janam diya tha, main ne gunah kiya tha, meri gunah thi meri beti.

Kissi aur ne issko baap ka naam diya apne naam par issko declare kiya, mera to koyi naata hi nahin tha iss se….. mujh par kia guzar rahi thi kissi ko koyi parwah hi nahin tha. mera dum ghhut raha tha, main chhup chhup kar roti rehti, gila karti bhi to kiss se, yeh to meri gunah thi, aur gunah ko chhupaya jaata hai sabke saamne nahin laaya jaata, iss liye mujhse issko chhupaya gaya, dunya ko pata nahin chalne diya ke yeh meri paidayish hai.

Aur aaj mujhe ap sab ke saamne bataate hue kitni Khushi ho rahi hai mujhe ke yeh meri beti hai, aap sab, umeed hai samajh sakte ho…..”

Hall mein taaliyan goonjne lage aur Shweta ke aankh se aansoo jaari hue….

Ruhi ne bolna jaari rakha,

“Jinn dinon Shweta 6/7 ki hui to meri life mein koyi aaya. Koyi aisa jiss ko main ne sapnon mein bhi nahin socha tha kyunke jabse Shweta ko janam diya tha tabse main ne ape baare mein sochna bandh kar diya tha kyunke mere apnon ne hamesha kaha tha ke mere iss gunah ki vajah se main ne apni zindagi barbaad kar li thi to umar bhar akeli jina tha mujhe iss liye main ne bilkool socha hi nahin tha ke koyi mujhse pyar bhi kar sakta tha kabhi.

Uss handsome, dashing ladke ke pyar ko bhi mujhko thukrana pada, aur wohi karna pada jo mere gharwale keh rahe the karne ko. Uss ladke ke pyar ka istemaal karna seekhaya gaya mujhe. Usske pyar ko accept karne ka dil kiya kayi baar, kayi baar main ne mehsoos bhi kiya ke wo ladka sach mein mujhse pyar karta tha, phir bhi main usske saath khelti rahi, apne bhaavnaon ko dabaa kar main ek chuhe billi ka khel khelti rahi usske saath. Wo apne pyar ka waasta deta raha aur main usske pyar ko rawndti rahi…. Kayi baar aankhon se aansoo bhi chalak gaye the usske pyar ko thukrate hue, ussko chorrte hue, ussko khote hue….

Mujhko ehsaas tab hua ke mujhko bhi uss se pyar hua jab yeh, yeh Shweta jo sirf 7 saal ki thi, isne mujh mein wo ehsaas jagaaya ke uss ladke ka pyar sacha hai, asli hai dil se chahta hai mujhe….

Yeh 7 saal ki umar mein ek adult wala feeling aur dimaagh rakht thi, yeh bachpan se hi badi sayaani thi….

Aur naseeb ne bhi aisa khel khela ke uss ladke ko jab main ne bataana chaha ke haan main bi ab uss se pyar karne lagi hoon to kuch aisa hua ke ussko hamesha ke liye kho diya kyunke mere ghar par jab wo aya mere haath maangne shaadi ke liye to ussko dhakka dekar ghar se nikala gaya… aur baat yeh thi ke main kuch nahin kar paayi….. nahin. Kuch bhi nahin kiya main ne ussko uss waqt uss haal mein chhorr diya… baad mein pata chala us din ko uss ladke ne MARNE KI TAMANNA KI THI…. Mar jaata wo uss din, aaj wo hota hi nahin sab meri vajah se…. to kia main ussko deserve karti thi? Nahin bilkool bhi nahin…. Meri vajah se jiss insaan ne marne ki tamanna kiya tha uss fateful 5th January 1987 ko main kaise ussko deserve karti thi, hargiz nahin… to main ne ek game khela….. haan main ne ek zabardast game shuru kiya ussi din ko jiss din uss ladke ne mere liye marne ki tamanna kiya tha idhar mera game shuru hua tha….

Mera game simple tha. main ne uss ladke ko kho diya tha ussi din, ussi pal isska ehsaas ho gaya tha mujhe ke wo mujhko wapas milne se raha. To mujhe ab uthna tha. mujhko apnon se badla lena tha. jinn logon ne mujhko daba ke rakha tha 6 Saalon tak. unn sabke saamne ab uthne ka mauka diya tha uss ladke ke pyar ne mujhe. Agar wo ladka meri ife mein nahin ata to main shayad aaj tak dabi hi rehti. To ussi din ko main ne uthne ka faisla kiya aur utthi main, aisi uthi ek toofaan ke jaise, ek jwalamukhi phatta hai jaise weise uthi main uss roz. Tabaahi macha di main ne ghar mein aur unn sab ke saamne seena taan kar khadi hui main.

Mujhko pata chala aur gehra ehsaas hua ussi din ke main ne pyar ko khokar khudko uthaya. Balke kehna yun chahiye ke uss pyar ne mujhko taaqat diya khud ko upar uthaane mein. Aur uss din ke baad aaj tak main uthi rahi, aisi uthi ke wheelchair par baith gayi.

Agar main chahti to tabhi uss ke pyar ke paas jaa sakti thi, uss se contact karne ka zarya tha mere paas, magar main nahin gayi kyuke mujhko sabse badla lena tha, sabke liye wahan ek kaal banke khada rehna tha, agar main apne pyar ke pas chali jaati to main wo nahin kar paati jo pichle 25 saalon mein kiya wahan rehkar. Dil ke andar jo Khushi hui sabko mujhse darrte hue dekh kar wo nahin hota. Agar main apne pyar ke paas chali jaati to sab unn logon se milkar rehna padta, sab se tab mera pyar bhi jaata wapas milne aur sab ek ho jaate jo main nahin chahti thi, unn logon ke saath ek nahin hona tha mujhe iss liye main ne apne pyar ko kurbaan kiya unn darindon ko sabak seekhaane ke liye.

Aur aaj uss pyar ko khush dekh kar mujhe jo Khushi mil rahi hai main bayaan nahin kar sakti. Usske saath wo aaj bandhi hui hai jissko main ne seene se laga kar rakhna chaaha tha magar wo bhi nahin kar paayi thi unn darindon ke vajah se. Aur mere do taraf ke pyar ek sath bandh rahe hein iss se ziada Khushi mujhe aaj tak nahin mili mujhe life mein. Donon taraf se mera pyar hai, ek Abhi ke taraf se ek Shweta ke taraf se. Donon mere hein aur aaj mere shubkaamnaayein dil ke andar se unn donon ke liye pesh karti hoon.

Jiss Khushi ko main paa nah saki, jiss Khushi aur pyar ko main ne thukraya apnon se badla lene ke liye aaj wo pyar apni beti ke paas jaate hue dekh kar kitni Khushi hoti hai yeh ek maa ke dil se puchna padega. Haan main ne jaan bujh kar apne pyar ko thukraya tha, usska pyar to sacha tha, paak tha, dil ki gehrayi se tha, magar mera mann stable nahin tha jiss waqt usska pyar chattaan ki tarah mazbut aur sirf mere liye tha…. to mera pyar usske pyar ke aage ek shunya ke barabar tha, khud ko usski pyar ke kaabil samajhti hi nahin thi main issi liye thukrana aur door rehna behtar tha mere liye. Haan bahot dukh, gham aur aansoo diye the main ne apne pyar ko, isska ehsaas tha mujhe, magar yeh bhi pata tha ke mera pyar kitna STRONG insaan ka pyar tha , pata tha wo manage kar lega mere bina…. Raat din usske liye duaaein karti rehti thi ke usska bhala ho hamesha, wo tarraaki kare aur aasmman ki bulandiyon ko chhuwe…. Duawein kubool hue aur wo upar pahuncha jissko dekh kar main itna khush hui ke lagaa main khud upar udhne lagi usske taraaki ke saath… aur usski tarrakki ne mujhe aur bahut ziada mazbut kiya aur apnon ke munh par zordaar tamacha maarne ka mauka bhi mila. Jitna mera pyar ubharta gaya jitna wo aasmaan ke bulandiyon ko chhuta gaya utna zordaar mera tamaacha banta gaya unn darindon ke liye…

Aaj main bahot khush hoon….. behad khush….. Navina ji ka aabhaari hoon ussne mujhse sach aur sahi baat bolne ki binati kiye mere ghar aakar uss roz iss liye aaj mauka hi aisa hai ke mujhe sab sach batana pada… Abhi aur Shweta ko koyi ghalat faimi nah ho ke mujhse koyi daga kiya ya mujhko dukh hua, naah….. ulta tum donon ne mujhe zindagi bhar ki Khushiyan de diye aaj. Jeete raho donon, hamesha khush raho, phoolo phalo. Aap sab ka bahot dhanyawaad. Thanks, all of you for bearing my boring speech. Thanks all.”

Update 83 The End​

3 Months later

Sab bahot khush the aur sab kuch sahi tarike se chal raha tha. jinn dinon Abhi Shweta ke ghar rehta, Aruhi ziada tarr apne papa ke saath waqt bitaati, had se ziada khush thi Aruhi ke ab usska papa usske saath ghar mein rehta tha, din ho ya raat, chaahe 4 ya 3 din hi sahi magar bahot ziada waqt milta tha Aruhi ko ab Abhi ke saath guzaarne ko.

Iss mein ziada profit Aruhi ki hi hui, kyunke jab wo Navina ke yahan jaati to wahan bhi Abhi ko paati…. Magar aisa bhi aksar hota ke jin dinon Abhi aur Shweta akele waqt guzaarna chahte to Aruhi ko Navina ke yahan chorr aate the, khaas kar jab Abhi ke 3 ya 4 din weekends par hote the saath rehne ke liye. Aur kabhi kabhi to charon ek saath hote kabhi Navina ke ghar to kabhi chaaron Shweta ke ghar paaye jaate.

Ruhi

Jaise ke Abhi ne plan kiya tha ke Ruhi ke liye bhi ek ghar lega, who Ruhi nen refuse kiya.

Wo kuch aie hua:

Abhi ek din ruhi ke yahan baat kar raha tha usski health ke treatment ke baare mein to uss se abhu ne kaha ke usske liye ek ghar dhund raha hai, phir ussko bhi wahan se lejayega. Ruhi ne inkaar kiya yeh kehte hue;

“Oh no, bilkool bhi nahin chahiye mere liye koyi bhi ghar lena Abhi. Main yaan se kahin nahin jaane wali. Jiss ghar mein maa aur papa rehte hein wo mere naam par hai. Usske upar Manoj ki wife ki hai, niche sab mera hai…. Itna bada ghar chorr kar kyun jaun main? Weh donon aur kitne din jiyenge unn donon ke baad main wahin rehne jaungi… wo sab mera apna hai Abhi…. Don’t waste your money, ghar lena hai to mere taraf se Aruhi ko de dena… mujhe nahin chahiye main nahin jaungi kahin bhi yahan se.”

To finally Ruhi ke iye ghar lene ka plan drop hua.

5 years Later

Magar Abhi ne Ruhi ki treatment desh ke best Ayurved centre mein shuru karwaya….. bahot experienced ayurvedic doctors aur massage karne wale the. Therapy 5 saal tak chala, aur Ruhi ki health mein dhire dhire sudhaar hota gaya, aur 5 saal ke treatment ke baad, jiss mein pura 8 mahine Ruhi ko centre mein rehna para. 8 mahine lagataar massage therapy hui tarah tarah ke special oil se, usski spine ki special treatment kiya gaya sab ayurvedic treatment se hi……Aur 4 saal baad Ruhi bina laathi ke chalne lagi…. Wo shuru mein dhire dhire chal rahi thi, aur aakhir mein bilkool normal chalne lagi…. Mahine mein ek baar centre jaati rahi check up ke liye, aur aakhir mein sab final ho gaya ke wo thik ho gayi.

Present Day 2020

Aaj 34 saal ho gaye jab se Abhi Ruhi se pehli baar mila tha 1986 mein, uss aangan mein Mehboob ke uss buss ko banaane ke liye. Aaj bhi Abhi ko sab saaf yaad hai, usske dimaagh ke ek kone mein, sab quaid hein. Aur Ruhi ko bhi sab yaad hai jaise sab kal ke guzre hue lamhe the.

1st January 2020 ko Ruhi ne Abhi, Navina, Shweta, aur Aruhi ko invite kiya tha New Year celebrate karne ke liye usske yahan. Aruhi aur do saal mein 18 ki ho jaegi. Ruhi ke maa baap doon guzar gaye 5 saal pehle. Ghar Ruhi ki ho gayi, aur Ruhi ab pakaane lagi thi pehle ki tarah. Ruhi ne Abhi se phone par pucha tha ke kaun si dish banaaye unn sab ke liye to Abhi ne wohi Butter Chicken banaane ko kaha jo uss din banaayi thi jiss din Ruhi ne Abhi ko lunch ke liye invite kiya tha 1986 mein.

1st Janurary 2020 ko Abhi aur family ne pura din Ruhi ke yahan guzaare the. Farzina bhi invited thi, wo ek lawyer ban chuki hai ab. Farzina aur Shweta pehle se hi dost the aur contact mein the. Mehboob bhi nahin rahe, Rahima yahin hai aaj bhi, aur Farzina apne husband aur ek bache ke saath yahin rehti hai Rahima ke saath.

Aaj Corona Virus ki lock down ki vajah se, Sanitary curfew hai iss liye baahar aana jana bandh hai to Abhi ne Shweta aur Aruhi donon ko apne ghar bula liya hai. Aur sab ek saath reh rahe hein, Navina ke hi kehne par.

To pichle 15 dinon se Abhi apne ghar mein do biwiyan aur ek bachi Aruhi ke saath hein. Usske ghar mein sukoon hai, aman hai, shaanti hai……

Abhi ne apne diaries ko bhi lock kar diya aur pichle 9 saal se bilkool nahin dekha diaries ko.

Apni daily diary mein abhi ne yeh likha aaj ki tarikh mein,

“Navina is the pillar of my life. Navina if not here I am useless and zero. Navina brought all happiness in my life. The love I was looking for all my life was sent to me from the sky. Hoor hai, farishta hai, apsara hai, ya kia mujhe pata nahin, magar, agar wo nahin to main bhi nahin.”

Aur chaaron ek saath baithe TV par saare Corona virus Covid-19 ki khabrein dekhte hue paaye gaye aakhri baar jab sab dikhe gaye the.
