par uske dil ki be-cheini kam nahi hui..
Aur aisi hi depressed haalat mein woh so gya..
.
Dusrey din jab Durgesh apni second-hand scooter par apni work-site par ja rha tha
tab bich raah mein hi, usey ek ladke ne roka.
'bhai saab, Nirmal-Construction ki work-site iisi raste par hai kya..?
'haan, iisi raste par aage..10-12 kilo meter ki duri par..? kyo kaam dhundne aaye ho kya..?
-durgesh ne uuey nihaarte hue kaha.
.
Woh banda kuch 27-28 saal ka lag rha tha..
5.6ft ki height, patla sa, magar kaafi muscular..
aur rang
ekdam gora..
maano kisi uuchi jaati ka ho.
kuul milakar ek handsome sa naujavan lag raha tha woh.
Saath mein ek bachcha tha..kuch 11-12 saal ki umar ka..
aur woh bhi, utna hi khubsurat aur pyara sa.
.
'ji
haan, magar bas waale ne yahi utaar diya..kab se khada hokar wait kr
rha hu, magar yahan se toh koi sawaari milna mushkil lagti hai...
'haan dost, agar bus depot chale jaate toh waha se share-taxi mil jaati..' -Durgesh ko bechare par reham aa gaya.
Saath mein bachcha bhi toh pareshaan ho rha tha.
Toh Durgesh ne kaha- 'chalo pichey baith jaao, mai bhi wahi ja rha hu.'
'lekin..ham dono kaise aap ke saath..'
'koi baat nai..isey aage khada kar dete hai..'
.
bachey ko aage khada kar ke, uus jawaan ko pichey bithaya
aur Durgesh ne scooter chala di.
Raaste mein baat-cheet se malum pada..
ke uuska naam Ajit tha.
Woh Jaalna ka rehne wala tha
aur peshe se kadiya (mistry) tha.. Reti, cement se construction karne wala.
yaha Aurangabad mein bada kaam shuru hua hai, aisa jaan kar woh yaha kaam ki talash mein aaya tha.
Saath mein jo tha, woh uska beta tha, Sanju.
Ajit waise toh umar mein 33-34 ka tha,
magar apne patle masuum badan ki wajah se umar kaafi kam lag rahi thi.
Rehne ko koi thikana nahi tha,
aur kaha rahege woh kuch tai nahi tha.
.
Work-site par usey kaam mil gaya..500 rupye per day.
din bhar kaam karke, dono ki chhutti saath mein hi hui.
Toh, jab tak rehne ka koi thikana nahi milta, Durgesh ne usey apne ghar par rehne ko kaha.
.
Durgesh ka ghar chhota tha.
Ek room aur ek kitchen.
Magar Room ke bahar ek gallary yani ke ek varandah tha..kariban 8x6 ft ka.
uusmein ek single-bed bhi bichaya hua tha..
.
Dono baap-bete, Ajit aur Sanju, bahar varande mein chale gaye..
Durgesh ne andar se kamra bandh kar diya
aur chaaro so gaye.
.
Dusre din, dono mard kaam ko jaane ke liye nikle,
toh Nayana ne Sanju ko ghar par hi chhor kar jaane ko kaha..
wahan kaam ki jagah par bechara kya karega din bhar -yeh soch kar Nayana ko rahem aa gaya uus bachche par.
.
Teen chaar din waise hi guzar gaye,
shaam ko dono mard Ajit ke liye ghar dhundne ko nikal jaate..
magar koi dhang ka ghar nahi milta tha..
aur fir Sanju ko din-bhar samhalne ka bhi sawaal tha.
.
Aakhir, dono pati-patni ne andar andar baat-chit karke, Ajit ko apne ghar mein hi reh jaane ka offer kiya.
Baap-bete dono ka mahina bhar rehne ka kiraya ek-ek hazaar fix ho gya.
Durgesh apne liye khana ghar se le jata tha, toh Ajit bahar canteen mein kha leta tha.
Shaam ko khud ke liye aur Sanju ke liye canteen se hi le leta tha..
aur chaaro ghar par saath mein khana khaate thhe.
Subah ki chaai aur Sanju ka din ka khana toh waise bhi Nayana insaniyat ke taur par de hi deti thi.
Yeh dekh kar, Ajit ne kuch din ke baad aur jyada paisa de kar yehi dono waqt ke khane ka apna vichaar pesh kiya.
Aakir 6000 dono ke 2 waqt ke khane ke,
1000 chaai ke,
aur 2000 rehne ke
waise 9000 mein sab fix ho gya..
toh ab..
Ajit ko kaafi sukun sa ho gaya..
Nayana bachche ko din bhar samhaal bhi leti thi..
Ajit ne Durgesh ka bahut bahut shukriya ada kiya..
.
Pehli salary aate hi, Ajit ne 9000 ke bajaaye 10000, forcefully Durgesh ko diye..
kyo ke Sanju ka khayal bhi, ab Nayana hi rakhti thi.
.
iis ke alawa, Nayana aur Durgesh ke liye chhoti-moti gifts bhi le aa kar, Ajit ne apni kasam de kar, dono ko di..
.
Aur aise hi 2-3 mahine mein dono nau-jawaan dost bann gaye..gehre dost..
saath mein daaru bhi pina-pilana ho jaata tha..aur hansi-mazaak bhi.
.
iis chhote bachche ko ghar mein pa kar, Nayana aur Durgesh apna koi bachcha na honey ka dukh bhi bhulne lage thhe..
tab ek din..
.
.
ek din, daaru pitey pitey, Ajit puuch baitha..
'yaar, teri shaadi ko kitne saal hue ?'
'3 saal..kyo..?'
'bas aise hi puch liya.. toh kya, tu family planning kar rha hai kya..?'
'haan, family-planning kar rha hu' -agar Durgesh aisa kehta, toh baat yahin khatm ho jaati.
magar Durgesh ne aisa nahi kaha.
.
woh akele akele apne iis problem se pareshaan tha..
usey koi toh chahiye tha, jis'se apna yeh dukhda baant sakey..
aur aaj jab yeh baat nikli hai, toh apna dil kholne ka usne decide kar liya..
.
'yaar, mai puch rha hu, kya family planning kar rha hai kya..?' -Ajit ne Durgesh ko chuup dekh kar apni baat dohraai.
'nahi..'
'toh fir..bacha toh yaar, saal-do saal mein ho hi jaata hai na..'
'ab nahi ho rha hai....toh aur kya karu mai..?'
.
Durgesh ka baat karne ka lehza dekh kar, Ajit ko laga ke baat ab serious honey ja rhi hai..
toh woh tann kar baith gaya..
.
'Nayna- Bhabhi ka check-up karwa le na, doctor se..'
'check-up kya karwana..jab malum hai ke usmey koi kami nahi hai..'
'toh fir....... lekin yaar, tu toh kaafi joshila, tandurust lagta hai..ekdam mard..!' -Ajit ne Durgesh ke kasrati, mazbuut badan ko taarif bhari nazro se dekhte hue kaha.
'lag toh rha hu magar..... kya karu ab..? '
.
ab baat ekdam sesitive mod par aa gayi thi..
kuch bhi ulta-sidha puuch baithne se apne dost ki mardaangi bhare ego ko dhakka baith sakta hai, aisa soch kar Ajit chuup ho gya.
.
'kya karu ab, kuch samaz mein nai aa rha..' -durgesh baat ko jaari rakhna chahta tha...
aaj bahut dino ke baad kisi se dil khol kar baat karne ka mood aur mauka aaya tha..
toh woh kuch raasta dhundna chahta tha..
.
'nichey sab thik-thaak toh hai, na..? -Ajit ne saawdhani se puchha.
'haan, lag toh rha hai sab thik..' -kya jawab de woh Durgesh ko kuch samaz mein nai aa rha tha..
'mera matlab teri size.. jyada chhota toh nahi hai, ke andar gehraai tak ja na paata ho..?'
'arey nahi..kaafi lamba-mota hai..7-8 inch ka'
'khada toh hota hai na..? -ajit ne darte darte aage pucha..
'haan, ekdam.. jab tight hota hai, toh aasmaan ki aur dekhta hai..' -Durgesh ko ab koi jijhak nahi ho rahi thi, apni baat kehne mein..
'toh fir..juice toh nikalta hai ke nahi..? wohi toh yaar main hota hai..' -Ajit ne ab khul kar pucha.
'haan, abhi nikalunga, toh yeh ash-trey bhar jayegi..bol nikal kar dikhaau..?'
'arey rehne de yaar.. kya tu bhi.. muje bharosa hai teri baat par..'
'magar muje nahi hai na, apni jaat par..' -Durgesh mayusi se bola- 'kya faaida aise joshile mardane jism ka, aise tagde lund ka, jab ke ek bachcha bhi paida na kar paaye'
'niraash mat ho dost..kuch na kuch rasta nikal ayega..'
'kya rasta..? meri kami se bechari Nayana ki zindagi bekaar ho rahi hai.'
'koi bachcha godi le le toh..'
'arey nahi..log muj par hansenge.. peeth pichey muje HIJDA kahenge'
.
fir dono dost chuup ho gye..
thodi der baad, Ajit ne apne gory patle haatho mein Durgesh ka mazbut khurdura haath le liya aur usey dabate hue kaha-
'toh fir yaar, meri ek baat maan le.. inkaar mat kar.. tuje meri kasam.. sab thiik ho jayega..aur kisi ko kuch pata bhi nahi chalega.'
'pehle bol toh sahi..'
'dekh doctor-log, kisi dusre mard ka beej, injection se aurat mein daal kar bachcha paida karte hai..muje malumm hai.. maine kahi padha hai..'
'kisi ko bolenge toh nahi..?'
'nahi.. sab khufia tarike se hota hai..'
'nayana se baat karni hogi..usey samjana hoga..'
'dekh le..yeh badhiya raasta lagta hai muje..'
.
ghar aa kar Durgesh ne nayana ko apni baat samjaayi ke usey lagta hai, ke kami uske khud mein hai.. toh bachcha aise hi tarike se ho payega..
Nayana ko toh andaza tha hi, Durgesh ki kami ka..
aur thoda samjane par woh dusre mard ke beej se, ma ban'ne ko ready ho gayi.
magar har kaam, ham samjate hai utna aasan kaha hota hai..taqdeer ko toh kuch aur hi manzur hota hai.. (contd..)
