jindagi kayi baar aise ajeeb mod leti hai ki sach jhooth aur jhooth sach lagane lagata hai.. bade se bada aastik naastik aur bade se bada naastik aastik hone ko majaboor ho jaata hai.. sirf yahi kyun, kuchh aise haadase bhi jindagi mein ghat jaate hai ki aakhir tak hamen samajh nahi aata ki vo sab kaise hua, kyun hua. sach koi nahi jaan paata.. ki aakhir vo sab kisi pret-atma ka kiya dhara hai, yaa bhagavaan ka chamatkaar hai ya phir kisi apne ki saazish… ham sirf kalpana hi karte rahte hain aur aakhir tak sochate rahte hain ki aisa hamaare saath hi kyun hua? kisi aur ke saath kyun nahi.. haalaat tab aur bigad jaate hain jab ham vo haadase kisi ke saath baant bhi nahi paate.. kyunki log visvaas nahi karenge.. aur hame akela hi nikalna padta hai, apni anjaan manzil ki taraf.. man mein uth rahe utsukta ke agyaat bhanvar ke pataakshep ki khaatir….
kuchh aisa hi rohan ke saath kahani mein hua.. hamesha apni masti mein hi mast rahne vaala ek karodapati baap ka beta achaanak apne aapko gahari aasamanajhas mein ghira mahasoos karata hai jab koi anjaan sundari uske sapno mein aakar usko pyaar ki duhai dekar apne paas bulaati hai.. aur jab ye silasila har roz ka ban jaata hai to apni bigadati manodasha ki vajah se majaboor hokar nikalna hi padta hai.. uski talaash mein.. uske batae aadhe adhoore raaste par.. ladki usko aakhirakaar milati bhi hai, par tab tak usko ahasaas ho chuka hota hai ki vo ladki koi aur hai.. aur phir se majabooran uski talaash shuru hoti hai, ek anadekhi anjaanee ladki ke lie.. jo na jaane kaisi hai…
is anjaani dagar par chala rohan jaane kitani hi baar hataash hokar uske sapne mein aane vaali ladki se savaal karta hai,” main visvaash kyun karu?” .. to uski chaahat mein tadap rahi ladki ka hamesha ek hi javaab hota hai:
“murde kabhi jhooth nahi bolte ”
niche mahafil jam chuki thi.. kuch der ravi ka intajaar karne ke baad aman ne vahi prograam jama liya.. gilaason ko khadakhadaate ab kareeb aadha ghanta ho chuka tha.. sharaab ke nashe mein rohan vo sab kuch bolne laga tha jisako bataane mein ab tak vo hichak raha tha…
“oh teri.. phir kya hua?” aman jigayaasoo hokar aage jhuk gaya…
“chhodo yaar.. kyun time khota kar rahe ho.. I don’t believe in all this foolish things.. ek sapne ko lekar itna serious aur emotional hone ki zaroorat nahi hai.. ” shekhar sooparastishas kism ki baaton mein visvaash nahi kar pa raha tha…
“puri baat to sun le damaru… rohan ne shekhar ko daanta aur kahani sunaane laga….
“kaun damaru.. main.. ha ha ha…!” shekhar zor zor se hansane laga…,” damaroo.. ha ha ha!”
“tujhe nahi sunni na.. chal.. jaakar saamane baith.. aur apna munh band rakh.. main maanta hoon.. aur mujhe sunni hai…” aman aakar saamane vaale sofe par shekhar aur rohan ke beech mein phans gaya.. shekhar utha aur badabadaata hua saamane chala gaya,” damaroo.. ha ha ha!”
baate abhi chal hi rahi thi ki muskuraate hue ravi ne kamare mein pravesh kiya..,” achha.. akele akele..!”
shekhar uske aate hee khada ho gaya,” saale damaru! akele akele too phod ke aaya hai ya ham.. ? baat karata hai…
“bhai tu mere ko damaru kaise bol raha hai.. vo to rohan bolata hai…” ravi ne uske paas baithte hue kaha…
“kyuki mere andar rohan ka bhoot ghus aaya hai.. he he ha ha ho ho!” shekhar ne bhooton vaalee baat ka mazaak bana liya….
“chup kar oye jaleel insaan.. aisi baaton ko mazaak mein nahi lete.. kisi ke saath bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hai…” aman ne pyaar se usko dutkaara…
“kis ke saath kya ho gaya bhai? mujhe bhi to bata do..” ravi ne apna gilaas uthaaya aur sabke saath cheers kiya…
“vo baat baad mein suru se suru karenge.. ab sabko serious hokar sunni hain.. pahle tu bata.. di bhi ya nahi.. mujhe to uski cheekh sunakar aisa laga jaise tu apna haath mein pakde uske pichhe daud raha hai.. aur vo bachane k liye chillaai hui kamre mein idhar udhar bhaag rahi hai…ha ha ha.. saali ne nakhare bahut kiye the pahle din… main aisi nahi hoon.. main vaisi nahi hoon.. par daalane ke baad pata laga vo to paki pakayi hai…” aman ne apna anubhav sunaaya….
ravi ne chhaati chaudi karke apne colar upar kar liye,” deti kaise nahi… !”
“are… sach mein.. chal aa gale lag ja.. badhai ho badhai..” aman aakar uske gale lag gaya..,” haan.. yaar.. baat to tu sahi kah raha hai.. salama ki khushboo aa rahi hai tere mein se…. par vo chillayi kyun yaar.. saali ek numbar ki nautanki hai.. tujhe bhi yahi kah rahi thi ki pahli baar marava rahi hoon..” aman ne vaapas rohan ke paas baithate hue kaha…
” nahi yaar.. vo to sana ki cheekh thi… uski pahli baar phati hai na aaj!” ravi ne apni baat bhi pure nahi ki thi ki aman ne gilaas rakha aur uchhal kar khada ho gaya..,” tune sana ki maar li???”
“haan.. kuchh galat ho gaya kya?” ravi ne mara sa munh banaakar kaha…
“galat kya yaar..? ye to kamaal ho gaya.. saali ko teen baar bula chuka hoon.. salma ke haathon.. par vo to haath hi nahi lagane deti thi yaar.. tune kiya kaise.. ab to zor ki party honi chaahiye yaar.. zor ki.. tune mera kaam aasaan kar diya…!” aman josh mein poora pag ek saath pee gaya…
“vo kaise? ” ravi ki samajh mein nahi aayi baat….
“kya batau yaar.. tujhe to pata hoga.. vo aur salma dono sagi behan hain..!”
aman ko ravi ne beech mein hi tok diya,” kya? sagi behan hain.. ?”
“haan.. chal chhod yaar.. lambi kahani hai.. uske baare mein baad mein baat karenge… pahle rohan bhai ki sunte hain.. chal bhai rohan.. ab sab ikatthe ho gaye hain.. suru se suru kara
ke aakhir tak suna de.. pahle bol raha hoon shekhar.. beech mein nahee bolega.. dekh le nahi to…!” aman shekhar ko chetavni si dete hue bola..
“nahi bolunga yaar… chalo sunao!” kahkar shekhar bhi rohan ki aur dekhane laga….
rohan ne kahani sunani suru kar di…..
