Update 12
wahan se rawana hone ke baad jab Rohan aur Shruti mein se koyi kuchh nahi bola toh majbooran Nitin ko hi apna munh kholna pada,” ja Rohan.. Pichhe baith ja..”
“mmain.. kkyun?” Rohan hakla sa gaya…
Nitin ne back view mirror ko set karke Shruti ke chehre par najar dali.. lagta tha uss par uski baat ka koyi asar nahi hua.. ya shayad uska dhyan unnpar tha hi nahi.. apni lambi kaali julfon ko baar baar kano ke pichhe le jane ki koshish si karti huyi wah bahar nihar rahi thi… uska chehra ekdum shant tha.. thahre huye jal ki tarah, na toh muskaan hi uske chehre par thi aur na hi koyi shikan..
“abey tu nahi toh kya main jaaunga.. setting teri hai ya meri..?” Iss baar Nitin ne jaan boojhkar tej bola tha, Shruti ne uski baat sunkar turant pratikriya di.. par bol kar nahi.. achanak usne najrein ghumakar Nitin ko dekha aur apni gardan jhuka li..
” bhai tu Gadi chalata rah na.. kahin nahi jana mujhe..!” Rohan ne khisiyakar jawab diya.. uska mann hi nahi tha shruti se baat karne ka… hota bhi toh anjaan ladki se kya baat karta.. ab toh sab saaf ho hi chuka tha… kum se kum Rohan ke dimag mein…
“Ajeeb kism ka prani nikla tu.. 2 din se mujhe gadhe ki tarah haank raha hai aur ab kahta hai ki… dekh le.. agar tujhe koyi problem nahi hai toh main shuru ho jaaun?” Nitin apni baat ka matlab aankhon hi aankhon mein Rohan ko samjhata hua bola…
unko iss tarah ki baatein karte dekh Shruti ke kaan khade ho gaye the.. uska chehra kuchh feeka sa pad gaya tha.. jab uss’se raha na gaya toh wo unki hi aur dekhkar dhyan se baatein sun’ne lagi….
“tu chalta rah na bhai.. bata toh raha hoon.. aisa kuchh nahi hai.. wo meri galatfahmi thi.. tu jo samajh raha hai, yahan wo maamla nahi hai…” Rohan ne usko chup karne ka prayas kiya…
“theek hai fir.. tera maamla nahi hai toh main fir kar leta hoon maamla.. ab beech mein mat bolna..” shahar ko najdeek aate dekh Nitin ne achanak nahar ke sath sath baney kachche raaste par gadi mod di…
Shruti sihar gayi aur kumpkapati huyi aawaj mein boli,” ye.. ye kahan lekar…. ja rahe hain aap.. gadi rokiye….!”
“Chinta mat karo Neeru ji.. ye rasta seedha shortcut wahin jata hai.. jahan aap jana chahti thi.. ha ha ha” kahkar Nitin ne siti bajani shuru kar di..
Shruti badhawasi mein gadi ki khidki peetne lagi..,” Mujhe utaar do.. main chali jaaungi.. apne aap!”
Rohan ko Nitin ke vyavhaar par tajjub ho raha tha.. itni bachkani harkar Nitin bhi kar sakta hai.. Rohan ko katayi ummeed nahi thi,” kya kar raha hai yaar.. ye wo ladki nahi hai.. samjha kar.. iska koyi kusoor nahi…”
Nitin ne Rohan ko dekhte huye apni dayi aankh mari.. majbooran Rohan ko chup ho jana pada.. jane kya karna chahta tha Nitin…
“yyye.. aap log kahan lekar ja rahe hain.. Gadi rokiye pls..” Shruti gidgidane lagi..
Nitin ne uski baat par koyi dhyan nahi diya.. Gadi usi gati se aage doudti rahi..
“hamne suna hai kisi ne tumhara kameej faad diya raat ko.. koun aashik tha bhala..”
Shruti ko uski baaton se jyada apni jaan ki fikar ho rahi thi..,” Mujhe nahi pata.. aap Gadi rok dijiye pls..”
“batayiye toh sahi.. fir main aapko wapas chhod aaunga.. wada raha.. waise kisi ka bhi kusoor nahi hai.. aap hain hi itni garam ki aapke sath jabardasti karne ka mouka mile toh koyi fansi ki bhi parwah nahi karega.. kyun Rohan?”
“Rohan ne munh pichka liya.. usko shruti ki badi daya aa rahi thi..
“rok dijiye pls.. Gadi wapas le chaliye.. main.. aapke hath jodti hoon..” sach mein hi hath jod kar Shruti rone lagi thi…
“Dekhiye miss.. mujh par aansoo asar nahi karte.. ladkiyon ka toh shikari hoon main.. 5-4 rape cases bhi hain mujh par.. isiliye salamati isi mein hai ki aap wo bolna shuru kar dein jo main poochh raha hoon.. warna.. mujhe apne jajbaaton par kabu karne ki aadat nahi hai.. aur aapke maamle mein toh main riyayat dene ke mood mein katayi nahi hoon.. ” Nitin ne filmi lahje mein baat kahi…
Shruti ka gala sookh gaya tha uski baatein sunkar.. dheere dheere apni siskiyon par kaabu pati huyi si boli,” kya…?”
“kya ye sach hai ki raat ko kisi ne aapki kameej fadkar upar se nangi kar diya tha…?” Nitin ne poochhtachh shuru ki..
Shruti ka sir sharam ke maare jhuk gaya.. par usne apni gardan haan mein hila hi di…
Nitin ne halanki uska hilta hua sir dekh liya tha.. par fir bhi wo bola,” bolo!”
“haan..” Badi mushkil se Shruti ke gale se aawaj nikli…
“kisne?” Nitin ka agla sawaal tha…
“pata nahi..” Shruti ne sir jhukaye huye hi jawab diya…
“matlab koyi aapko nangi kar gaya aur aapko pata bhi na chala.. aapko lagta hai mujhe visvas ho jayega..”
“wo hamare gaanv mein aksar kuchh bhi ajeeb ho jata hai.. isiliye hamein aadat ho gayi hai..” Shruti ne sanyam se jawab dene mein hi bhalayi samjhi…
“aadat? yun.. nangi hone ki..”
Shruti ne iss baat ka koyi jawab nahi diya…
“fir toh main bhi try kar sakta hoon.. nahi?” Nitin ne bebaki se kaha…
Shruti subakne lagi.. uske paas bolne ke liye kuchh nahi bacha tha..
“chaliye chhodiye.. ye bata do ki mere sher se aap kab mili thi..” Nitin ne apna lahja apekshakrit naram karte huye poochha…
“ji..?” Shruti kuchh samjhi nahi..
“iss’se.. Rohan se aapki mulaqat kab huyi thi..?” Nitin ne Rohan ki kamar par hath maarte huye poochha…
“meri..? maine toh inko ab se pahle kabhi dekha bhi nahi….” sahaj sawalon ka jawab dete huye Shruti ka subakna kum ho gaya tha.. par anjane darr se wo ab bhi kaanp rahi thi…
“achchha? tumhe pata nahi ye aapka kitna bada deewana hai.. tumhare paas jane ke liye ye mujhe raat ko wo.. purane teele par le gaya.. itna pagal ho chuka hai ye.. aur aap kahti hain iss’se aap kabhi mili hi nahi… ye kaise ho sakta hai?” Nitin ne chalte chalte hi kaha…
Shruti ne hairani se Rohan ke chehre ki aur gour se dekha.. par 100-100 kos tak bhi uske pahle dekhe hone ka ahsaas apne dil mein jaga nahi payi,” mera visvas kijiye.. maine inko pahle kabhi dekha nahi hai… main toh iss shahar ke alawa kabhi kahin gayi hi nahi…”
“main kah toh raha hoon yaar ki ye wo ladki nahi hai.. mujhe galat fahmi ho gayi thi… wo koyi aur hai…!” Rohan se ab chup baitha nahi gaya…
“tu chup ho ja bus.. aaj ke baad teri shakal bhi nahi dekhni mujhe.. ab kounse teele par le jane ki soch raha hai mujhe.. tera toh dimag kharab ho hi gaya hai.. mujhe bhi pagal karke chhodega tu…. Lijiye miss.. Shruti.. Aapka college aa gaya.. yahi hoga na…?”
Sunte hi Shruti ki bhay ke maare sikudi huyi aankhon mein chamak si aa gayi.. apna chehra uthakar usne chounk kar bahar ki taraf dekha…” haan.. aap.. ohh.. par aapko kaise pata mere college ka…” Khidki kholne ki koshish karti huyi wo boli.. par khidki khuli nahi..
“iss shahar mein yahi ek college hai.. mere khayal se… khair.. maaf karna.. main kuchh jaan’na chahta tha.. isiliye mujhe aapko darane ke liye ghatiya baatein kahni padi… pichhli khidki ka lock kholna Rohan..
Shruti kuchh na boli.. uska man ab uchhal raha tha.. bachne ki kam hi ummeed thi usko.. Gadi kholte hi wah teji se bahar nikli aur bina bole road paar karne lagi…
“ye sab kya bakwas thi Nitin… ? chal ab…” Rohan ki aankhein college ke gate ki taraf badh rahi Shruti ka peechha karti rahi…
“abey ruk toh sahi..” Nitin bhi bade gour se Shruti ko dekhe ja raha tha…
Gate par pahunch kar Shruti thithaki aur peechhe mudkar dekha.. Gadi ki aur.. Nitin muskurane laga aur uski aur apna hath hila diya.. Shruti apni najrein jhukati huyi mudi aur seedhi aage badh gayi…
“ye kya tha bhai.. tu aisa bhi hai kya? kya kar raha tha tu…?” Rohan ne Shruti ke najron se aujhal hote huye poochha…
“ek teer se do shikaar..” kahkar Nitin Rohan ki aur muskuraya aur Gadi chala di….
