Media wale bahot shor macha rahe the baat ko uchaalte huwe aur kahin to weh, log police se bahot aguey badh gaye baat ko lekar. TV channels wale ne Vikcy ke office ke mulazimon se bhi sawaal kiye aur kitnon ke jawaab life broadcast kiya gaya. Sab positive views de rahe the Vicky ko lekar magar jiss tarah se reporters sawaal kar rahe the weh sawaal Vicky ke khilaaf hote the aur uss par charge lagane ki tarah hote the. Office ke security guard ka jawaab TV par bahot baar dikhaya gaya, aur reh reh kar dikhaya jaa raha tha kyun ke usska jawaab bahot controversial tha. Uss ke jawaab ko lekar bahot saare logon ne bina baat ko jaane bujhe apne apne rae banana lage aur kitne log bhi usski tarah sochne lage. Reporters ne Khan aur Rathod se bhi kayi baar sawaal kiye magar donon ne “No coments” kehkar unn logon se door gaye. Magar jab ACP Raghuveer se TV walon ne sawaal kiya to uss ne to lambi statement diya ke police apna kaam kar raha hai aur Vicky jahan bhi hoga ussko apni kiye ka saza zaroor diya jaega aur woh mujrim hai police uss ko bahot jald pakar lega. Ussne Khan ka naam diya aur kaha ke wohi Vicky ko salaakhon ke piche dalega.
Magar reporters ne jab poocha ke Vicky ka to ata pata nahin to kia ussko koyi help kar raha hai ya ameer hone ke naate ussko koyi suvida diya jaa raha hai kissi tarah ki… tab ACP ne ghusse mein kaha ke yeh sab sawaal Khan se kiya jae. Aur kuch reporters to uss jangal ka image dikhate huwe ab tak Vicky ke faraar hone ki baat kar rahe the aur police force ko criticize karte huwe sawaal kiye jaa rahe the ke Vicky gaya kahan aur kyun ussko nahin dhunda jaa raha? Agar woh girr kar mar gaya ho to usski laash ko public ke saamne laane ki maang kar rahe the. Case bahot serious ho gaya tha aur talk of the town ban gaya tha. Vicky ko faraar huwe 4 din ho chuke the aur chaaron taraf hulchul machi huwi thi usski case ko lekar. Koyi bhi aur news nahin bikh rahe the jitna Vicky ki case ka news pichle 6 dinon mein. Sare public har roz paper mein yehi padhna chahte the ke Vicky pakra gaya ke nahin, ke uss par jo ilzaam laga hai sahi hai ya ghalat. Kia uss ne eisa kiya? Kia woh eisa kar sakta hai? Kia iss liye ke woh amir hai to uss ke liye sab jaayiz hai? Kia uss ke liye society ke rules alag aur aam janta ke liye alag se hein? Public eise eise sawaal utha rahe the!
Aur kuch reporters jo Vicky ko pehle se jaante the to weh log Vicky ki positive image dikha rahe the apne channels par. Ab TV channels ke beech ek kisam ka debate chal raha tha jab ek TV channel Vicky ke bare mein sahi baat karte to dusre channels wale negative sawaal aur jawab karte kyun ke forenscic reports Vicky ke khilaaf the aur jo tasveerein uss haadse ke baad prapt huwe the sab Vicky ke khilaaf the, 100% khilaaf the. Issi liye 90 % log Vicky ko doshi maante the. Magar kuch log yeh bi keh rahe the ke forensic aur doctor ke reports ko badla bhi gaya hoga ya kharida bhi gaya hoga Vicky ko phanssne ke liye…..
Khan ghusse mein Rathod ko lekar apna dimaagh khapa raha tha. Uss se raha nahin gaya aur Rathod ko kuch samaye baad apne saath chalne ko kaha. Khan ne hatkadi bhi le liya uss ne thaan liya tha ke Rathod ko shak ke bina par giraftaar bhi kar lega. Magar ussko ek mawka dena chahta apne safaayi dene ke liye, to ussko apne gaadi mein bithakaar door ek samujndar ke kinare legaya aur baat shuru ki.
Khan: “Dekho Rathod tum mere ek ache officer hi nahin balke dost bhi ho. Mere saath itne dinon tak kaam karke tum ne bahot ache results diye hein, magar ab jo ho raha hai mujhe bilkool passand nahin aur main apna duty karte huwe tumko shak ke bina par giraftaar kar sakta hoon… magar dosti ke naate tumko ek chance dena chahta hoon ke tum mujhko sab kuch sach sach batao to shaayad mein tumhari koyi madad bhi kar sakun…..”
Yeh sab kehte Khan, Ratod ke chehre mein dekh raha tha aur ek police inspector to chehra dekh kar hi pehchaan leta hai…to uss waqt Rathod ka chehra itna badal gaya tha ke sab saaf zaahir tha ke ussko kuch ziada pata hai iss Vicky ke case ke bare mein….. Phir bhi khan ne kaha
“First of all give me your cap and revolver Rathod.”
Rathod ne koyi zabardasti nahin kiya aur apne revolver aur cap Khan ko dete huwe poocha, “Tumko keise shak huwa?”
Khan ne kaha, “Tumhare mobile se Rathod. Ab mujhe sab saaf saaf bataao, kia huwa uss din aur uss waqt jab Vicky faraar huwa tha? Mujhe pehle shak huwa ke woh bhaag hi nahin sakta tumhare chungal se…. aur bahot heyraan huwa tha main…. Magar you had not received any bloody calls at that time!!! Kiss ko phone kiya that um ne uss waqt Rathod??”
Uss waqt donon car ke andar hi baithe huwe the front seat par. Sham ka waqt tha aur saamne samundar ki lehron ke saath thandi hawa beh rahe the usske bawajood Rathod ka chera pasine se tarr tha. Apne maathe se pasina ponchte huwe thartharaate zubaan se Rathod ne ek taraf dekhte huwe Khan se kaha,
“Main uss waqt uss aadmi se baat kar raha tha jissko motorcycle se apne girlfriend ko utaarna tha aur Vicky ko ussi motorcycle se bhaagna tha……”
Yeh sunkar Khan ne apne maathe ko teen baar thoka aur baahar samundar ke lehron ko dekha, phir Rathod ke laal chehre ko dekhte huwe bade araam se poocha, “Why? Kyun Rathod? Kyun? Kyun eisa kiya tum ne??” Aur Khan ne Hatkadi nikali aur Rathod ke donon kalayi mein lock kardiya. Khan tab car se baahar nikle aur sar par apne donon haathon ko malte huwe reth par chalte chalte kayi laatein maarta gaya reth ko upar udaate huwe…. Bahot nervous hone laga tha Khan aur ghussa kar raha tha……
Rathod hathon mein hadkadi ke saath uss taraf ke darwaza khol kar ahiste ahiste chal kar Khan ke kareeb ayaa aur dhire se kaha, “I am sorry Khan magar jitna main jaanta hoon Vicky aur Sanjana ke bare mein police force mein koyi bhi nahin jaanta yaar!”
Khan ke ensoo nikal pade jab ussne ghusse mein chilaate huwe pehle Rathod ke gaalon par zor se do tamaache mare aur oonchi awaaz mein kaha,
“Yeh case mere liye kitna important tha tere ilawa kaun jaanta hai re? 3 last case ko nahin solve kar paaye the hum aur woh kutta Raghuveer kitna mazaak udata hai mera mujhko hamesha nicha dikhaa kar tere ilawa kissko pata hai? Aur tu ne mere saath eisa kiya Rathod? Kyun kiya eisa tumne? Kyun? Tum ne mujhe dhoka diya Rathod? Mujhe?? Ab main kia munh dikhaunga sab ko? Ab main keise tere taarif karne wala tumko salaakhon ke piche dalunga aur sabko keise jawaab dunga re?!!” Yeh chilla kar kehte huwe Khan ghutnon ke bal reth par baith gaya aur zoron se rone laga!!
Apne senior ko yun rote huwe dekh kar Rathod bhi ro pada aur dhire se Khan ke paas baith kar apne bandhe haathon se usske sar par thapthapaya, phir donon hathon ko Khan ke sar ke upar karke ussko apne seene se lagaate huwe kaha, “Chal main tumko sab sach sach batata hoon tab bolna ke main kia karta usse faraar karane ke ilawa….”
Khan tab bhi ghusse mein tha aur Rathod ko dhaka dekar aur chillate huwe bola,
“Tere pratigya ka kia huwa? Tum police officer ho, tumko kissi bhi haal mein kissi ko eisa chuth nahin dena hai chahe woh koyi apna hi kyun na ho!”
Is baar Rathoda chilaya aur kaha, “Bhool gaya main pratigya! Bhool gaya ke police officer hoon! Mera dimaagh sun ho gaya tha jab main ne Sanjana ki laash dekhi thi! Paagal ho gaya tha main!”
Khan yeh sunkar ruka aur phir se Rathod ke chehre mein dekhte huwe kaha,
“Mere ghar mein AC nahin hai, ek purana TV hai jo thik se chalti hi nahain, Farheen muhjse do saal se ek mobile phone mang rahi hai jo main nahin de pa raha, apni car ek khatada hai, main koyi naukar ya naukrani nahin rakhta.Meri biwi ko ek naye churidaar ya saree diye huwe zamana beet gaya. Ghar ke telephone bill, electricity bill water bill, aur mahine bhar ke kitchen samaan kharidne ke baad tankhwa mein se kuch bhi nahin bachta. Agar chahta to karoron mein khelta aaj…… Imaandaari ki koyi keemat hi nahin sala!! Yaad hai tujhe woh Rishi Patel wala case? 1 karore de raha tha woh humein case ko rafa dafa karne ko? Yaad hai Rathod? Aur agar main chahta to uss case ko rafa dafa kar sakta tha, magar main ne uss ke 1 crore par laat mara aur case ko aguey legaya magar uss kutte Raghuveer ne 1 crore khaya aur case ko finish hi kar dala. Kia main nahin kar sakta tha woh sab? Aaj imported car hota mere paas bhi, meri biwi ke ache ache kapde hote, meri behen ko latest cell phone deta, ghar mein naya TV aur AC lagwata…. Eise kitne case hein jiss se hum ko karoron milte hein….. sala tu to meri tarah imaandaar tha to kitne mein kharida tujhko uss amirzade Vicky ne yeh bata to mujhe?….”
Donon reth par baith gaye tab tak. Suraj samundar mein doobki laga raha tha aur usske laal kirnein Khan aur Rathod ke chehre ke rang ko bhi laal kar dala tha. Rathod ne Khan se ghoose lene ki ilzam sukar apne sar ko apne bandhe hathon mein zor se dabate huwe ro kar jawaab diya,
“Khan mere bhai main ne ek phuti kawdi nahin liya kissi se bhi; Khan, Sanjana meri hone wali mangitar thi Yaar!!! Hamari ek mahine baad mangni hone wali thi yaar aur usski laash dekh kar kia main paagal nahin hota? Tu hi bata main kia karta yaar? Pichele 5 mahinon se main Sanjana ko chahta hoon aur uss ke ghar jaa chukka tha. Vicky ek bahot acha insaan hai. Woh mujhe bhi bahot chahta hai yaar. Jo ilzam uss par laga hai sab bilkool jhoot, ghalat, be bunyaad hai yaar! Sanjana ko Vicky ne bahot pyar se pala hai, woh ek bhai nahin Sanjana ke baap ki tarah tha yaar. Ussne to mujhse kaha tha ke Sanjana usski beti ki tarah hai mere dost. Woh insaan kuch bhi weisa kar hi nahin sakta Khan. Woh insaan nahin ek masiha hai dusron ke liye, bahot nek aur sacha insaan hai…. Main ne inn 5 mahinon mein jitna ussko jana hai aaj tak koyi bhi insaan usski tarah nahin dekha hai main ne…. uss par lagaye gaye sabhi ilzaam jhoote hein……..” Yeh sab kehte kehte Rathod rote jaa raha tha apne chehre par hathon se ensoowon ko ponchte huwe aur Khan ekdum shocked usske chehre mein dekhte huwe uss ko sun raha tha aur phir khud ro para.
Kuch der tak donon reth par baithe rahe bina kuch kahe sune. Bilkool khamosh, samundar ke lehron ko saahil par mauj maarte huwe sunte rahe. Suraj ko samundar ke dusre kone mein ahiste ahiste doobte huwe dekhte rahe donon. Phir Khan ne apne jeb se hatkadi ki chaabhi nikale aur Rathod ke hatheli ko azaad kar diya. Aur Khan ne kaha,
Achah ab mujhe sab wahan se suna jiss waqt humko Sanjana ki mawt ki phone aayi thi aur hum donon wahan ponche the, thik wahan se bata mujhe….. Mujhe ab flash back mein kuch kuch dikhaayi de raha hai…tum ne Sajana ka haath thaama tha apne haathon mein nah?han! han! mujhe yaad araha hai tere chehre ka rang badal gaya tha, tu bahot nervous dikh raha tha uss waqt? Are han tu mujhse se kuch chupane ki koshish kar raha tha ussi waqt mujhko kyun nahin dikha tha?? Han, main ne tumse ussi waqt poocha tha, ‘are you alright’ aur tum ne sirf sar hilaya tha to main ne uss waqt socha tha ke ek laash saamne padi hai issi liye tu abnormal dikh raha hai…mujhe kia pata tha woh teri girlfriend ki laash hai….. chal ab mujhe sab detail mein bata wahin se… kab tumne Vicky se baat kiya? Kab ussko bhagane ki plan banaya sab bata mujhe……”
