Dead Never Lie ~ A Love Story – Update 8

Update 8

“tumhe bhatakne ki jarurat nahi hai.. har janam mein wo mere sampark mein rahi hai.. aakhir main bhi uska hissa hoon.. Amritsar se 50 km door Batala kasbe mein rahti hai wo.. Govt. college ke aaspaas ghar hai uska…mujhe iss baat par garv hai ki har janam mein wo anjaane mein hi sahi par kunwari hi rahi.. tumhare alawa maine kisi ke baare mein socha tak nahi Dev.. tumhare alawa mujhe koyi chhoo bhi nahi paya..” Neeru ka gala bhar aaya..

“oh.. aur main..?” Rohan ko uski ajeeb magar meethi si kahani mein maja aane laga tha…

“tumhara mujhe nahi pata.. aur iss janam ki toh tum khud hi jaan’te hoge…” Neeru ne usko pyar se dekhte huye kaha…

“toh kya wo mujhe dekhte hi pahchan legi..?” Rohan ke man mein sawaalon ki jhadi lagi huyi thi….

“bus yahi ek samasya hai.. uske liye tumhe usko wahin lana hoga.. mahal mein..” Neeru ke chehre par udasi chha gayi..

“ab ye mahal ka kya chakkar hai?” sawaalon mein se hi itne sawaal nikal rahe the ki purane sawaal Rohan bhoolta ja raha tha…

“jahan tum gaye the.. wahan ek peepal ka ped hai.. uske neeche hi hamara mahal hai.. tumhe Neeru ko wahin lekar aana hoga..”

“ek minute.. ek minute.. jo ladki mujhe jaanti nahi, pahchanti nahi.. usko main kaise la sakta hoon.. aur wo bhi aisi jagah par jahan ke bachche bhi itne khatarnaak hain..” Rohan ka sir chakra gaya..

“iska jawaab mere paas nahi hai.. par agar tum uske dil mein pyar jagaoge toh wo aa sakti hai.. tumhare sath.. tumhe uska pyar bhi jeetna hoga aur bharosa bhi… ye kaam tumhe apne tareeke se karna hoga….”

” Mujhe nahi pata ki ladkiyon ka dil kaise jeet’te hain.. iss maamle mein ekdum anadi hoon… tum hi kuchh batao!” Rohan ki samajh mein kuchh nahi aa raha tha..

“tum jab Dev the, tab bhi aise hi the.. sharmile aur jhenpoo.. par tumhe kuchh na kuchh toh karna hi hoga…” Neeru apne Dev ki yadon mein khokar muskurane lagi….
” sorry Neeru.. ye sab main nahi kar sakta.. kisi anjaan ladki se maine aaj tak baat bhi nahi ki hai.. aur tum usko yahan lane ko kah rahi ho.. ye nahi ho sakta.. aur fir usko bhi raat ko hi lana hoga.. hai na?”

“haan Dev.. ye meri majboori hai..”

“shit.. never possible.. aisa kabhi nahi ho sakta.. aur fir tum hi batao.. main tumhari baaton par kyun visvas karoon.. aur visvas kar bhi loon toh main itni badi tension mol kyun loon..? ye jaan’ne ke baad ki tum koyi bhatakti huyi aatma ho; mere dil mein tumhare liye sahanubhuti ke alawa kuchh nahi hai.. par fir bhi main maafi chahta hoon.. meri jindagi se nikal jao.. tumne meri hansti khelti jindagi barbaad kar di hai.. main pagal sa ho gaya hoon.. tumhari baat ko sach maan bhi loon toh mujhe ab kuchh yaad nahi hai.. fir main toh kisi bhi ladki se pyar kar sakta hoon.. shadi kar sakta hoon.. sach boloon toh main subah Shruti ke papa se apne rishte ke baare mein baat karna chahta hoon.. maine apni jindagi mein isi ladki ke sapne dekhe hain, jiska chola pahne abhi tum mere saamne baithi ho.. mujhe iss’se pyar ho gaya hai.. toh kyun na main Neeru ke aage pichhe bewajah chakkar lagane ki bajay shruti par hi dore daal loon..? pls.. mera pichha chhod do.. aaj ke baad meri jindagi mein mat aana.. main tang aa gaya hoon tumhari baatein sunkar… main aur kuchh jaan’na nahi chahta..” Rohan ne seedhe aur nirdayi shabdon mein apni baat kah di…

Neeru ka chehra safed pad gaya.. Rohan ko iss baar pakar bhi kho dene ke bhay aur gusse ke wo kaanpne si lagi,” Dev.. tumhare wade ka kya hoga..?” Neeru ke munh se kahte hi siski si nikli…

“bhad mein gaya wada.. i dont care.. mujhe marna nahi hai abhi.. jeena hai.. apne liye.. ghar waalon ke liye..!”

Neeru khadi ho gayi,” theek hai Dev.. main ja rahi hoon.. aainda kabhi nahi aaungi.. maine toh ye sochkar tumhe kabhi khud ko hath bhi nahi lagane diya ki mere dwara dharan ki gayi deh kisi aur ki hai.. usko hath lagwakar main tumhe dushit karke khud ko paap ka bhagi nahi banana chahti thi.. agar tumhe yahi pasand hai toh lo, noch daalo abhi isko, kar lo apni hawas poori…” kahte huye Neeru ne gusse se apna gale se pakad kar apna kameej kheench kar taar taar kar dala.. Shruti bani Neeru ardhnagn awastha mein najrein jhukayein siskiyan le rahi thi..

Rohan ki aankhein sharm se jhuk gayi.. Usko yun najrein jhukaye dekh Neeru ne khade khade hi bolna shuru kar diya,” kash tumhe ahsaas karwa sakti ki tum kya the, kash tumhe Dev aur Priyadarshini ki mohabbat se rubaroo karwa pati.. tumhe Dev ke waade ki keemat ka ahsaas hota toh tum kabhi aisa na kahte, jaan par khel jate apni Neeru ko apne gale se lagakar usko kum se kum iss janam mein poorn nari banane ke liye.. beshak uske paas priyadarshini ka dil nahi.. fir bhi usne Dev ko kiya wada har janam mein nibhaya hai.. beshak wo tumhara intjaar nahi karti.. par kisi ka bhi intjaar nahi karti wo.. iss janam mein bhi aise hi jayegi.. aur mera kya hai? kash mujhe tumhare diye gaye locket se bhi utni hi mohabbat na hoti jitni ki tumse hai.. toh meri aatma mere dil ko bhi sath lekar nikal jati.. yun na tadapta rahna padta mujhe.. janam janam tumhare aane ke intzaar mein… ” Neeru ne bharbharate gale se kaha aur chupchap siskiyan leti uske sapne se gayab ho gayi…..
