AB AGEY:
“Kal meri birthday party hai tumne zaror ana hai.”hum is waqt cafeteria me bethe te jab maine ye ziker chera.
“Kitne bajhe?”chai ka khali cup apne samne se hatate howe wo mustafir hoi.
“Rat 8 bajhe.”
“Papa se ijazat leni pare gi?”
“Mujhe nahi pta.” Main muh banate howe bola.”tumhe ana pare ga.”
“Main pori koshish…”
Main kata kalami karte howe bola.”ana pare ga,ana pare ga.”
“Jadheer samjhne ki koshish to karo na agar papa ne mana ker diya to?’
“Tum aj university se wapsi per uncle se poch lena agar unhune mana ker diya to party rat ki bajaye din ko ho jai gi magar tumahri shamoliyat zarori hai nahi to tane de de ker Zu mera jeena ajeran ker de gi.”
Rakshi ajeeb se lehje me boli.”itna darte ho us se?’
“bat darne ki nahi hai main bs us k samne necha nhi hona chahta.”
“Chalo thk hai sham k waqt tumhe cal ker k bata du gi.”
Or maine asbaat me ser hila diya.
“mera kheyal hai ab humen chalna chahiye?”wo apna purs sambhalte howe uth khari hoi.
Or main ser hilate howe counter ki taraf barh gaya.
*…*…*…*
Rat k waqt jab rakshi ki cal ai to is waqt Zu mere kamre me hi thi.
“papa man ge hain jee…”rakshi khushi se bharpoor lehje me itela di.
“Sukher hai.”mere muh se besakhta nikla.
Usne sharmate howe pocha.”ap to yun shuker ada ker rhe hain jaise meri mojoudgi k bagair salgirah ka function hi na ho pata?’
“isme shuba hi kia hai?”
“acha….?”uske lehje me halka sa tafahur der aya.
“han na jan tere bagair ab poori zinadagi hi pheeki or bemaza lage lagi hai.”
Wo ahista se boli.”mujhe b aisa hi lagta hai.”
“Janta hun.”
“Ok dinner ker k bat kerti hun,khuda hafiz.”
“Main muntazir hun.”sun ker usne rabta munkita ker diya.
“Kis bat per shuker ada ho rha ta mohataram…?”cal khatam hote hi Zu pochne lagi.
“Subah rakshi keh rhi thi k papa ki ijazat k bagair ana mumkin nahi hai or abhi wo mujhe bta rhi thi k papa ne usey ijazat de di hai.”
“Raju…..such much wo tumhe bohat pyari lagti hai?”
“Han Zu bohat ziada.”
Wo ahista se boli.”khuda tum dono ki jori salamat rakhe.”
Maine jaldi se kaha.”ameen”.Zu waqi mere sath bohat mukhlis thi.hum thori der tak kal k function ki tafsilat te karte rhe or rakshi ki cal ai to wo sone chali gayi.
*…*…*…*
Chuti k waqt maine rakshi ko sath chalne ki dawat dete howe kaha.
“abhi chalo na mere sath party khatam hone k bad chali jana.”
“Maine abhi teyari kerni hai jnb naye kapre pehanne hain,jewelry wagaira b yunhi kaise chali jau,tere sath?”
Main shararat se bola.
“Naye kapre to pehanne hi hain,sath me agar dhool bhaje b ho jayen?.
Wo sharmili hansi k sath apni car ki taraf barh gayi.
Ghar pohancha to Zu zor shor se party ki teyariyu me masrof nazar ai her kam wo apni negrani me karati rhi.6 bhaje rakshi apne driver or police k 1 sepahi body guard k sath pohanch gayi.akhir ko sp ki beti thi usey khushamdeed keh ker main drawing room me le aya Zu washroom me thi.main rakshi k sath betha rha gulabi rang k garare me wo kisi or hi duniya ki makhloq nazar aa rhi thi.Zu ne kale rang suit pehna ta jis per safed dhage se karhai ki gayi thi.dopata saleke se ser per sajaye wo humare pas pohanchi is waqt main dabe lafzu me rakshi ki khobsurti k gun ga rha ta.
“chalen mohataram teyar ho jayen.”usne atey hi chutki baja ker mujhe uthne ka ishara kia or rakshi se musafa karne lagi.
“Abhi to kafi waqt para hai thori der….”
Wo kata kalami karte howe boli.”6:30 ho chuke hain or 8 bajhe party shiro honi hai.yun b tune teyar hone me 1 ghanta se ziada ka waqt laga dena hai.”
“1 to tum se jan nahi chotatti.”usey kehte howe main rakshi ko mukhtib howa.
“Bs main yun gaya or yun aya.”
Rakshi k chehre per b nagawari k asraat zahir howe jise wo hansi me chupa gayi.
Zu wahin rakshi k sath beth ker gaphen hankne lagi main bathroom me ghus gaya jaldi jaldi shower lia or toliya lapet ker bahir nikal aya.bed per neya suit press kiye howe rakha ta jo lazmi bat hai Zu ne hi rakha ho ga.suit pehan ker maine tie ki talash me nazren dorayin magar bed per tie nazar na ai.
Maine zor se pukara.”Zu ki bachi tie kahan hai?”
“Almari me dayen taraf k hanger se tangi hai na.”usne b wahin se bethe bethe awaz di.
“konsi bhandni hai?”maine almari kholi or hanger me darjan bhar tieyu ko dekh ker phir se usey awaz di.
“Nayi wali.”
“Nayi wali konsi hai?…mujhe to sari nayin lag rahin hain?”
“Mehron color ki nayi hai na?”wo b wahi se jawab diye ja rhi thi.
“Juraben to boto me rakh di hotin?”khali boot dekh ker main jhunjla gaya ta.
“bootu me hi hajn naye walu me rakhin hain.”main mathe per hath mar k shoe’s rack ki tarah barh gaya.
“Wrest watch purani wali hi pehne rakhu?”
“Dressing table per rakhi hai nayi wali.”
Ghari pehan ker maine baal sunware or tie knot ko darust kerta howa drawing room ki taraf barh gaya.
Zu abhi tak rakshi k sath bethi hoi thi,rakshi k chehre per ajeeb se tasurat te jinhe main koi b nam dene se kasir ta.
“tumahri tabiyat to thk hai.”main uske samne bethta howa bola.
“Aa…..han….han main thk hu.”wo mujhe sakht uljhan me lagi thi.
“Raju ap dono gap kro main zara mehmanu ko khushamdeed keh lu.”Zu uth ker bahir chal di.
“rakshi such batao kia bat hai?”maine dayen bayen dekh ker ahista se pocha mehmanu ki amad shiro ho gayi thi Zu Ami jan Chachi jan drawing room k darwaze per khari mehmanu ka welcome ker rahin thin.
Wo mujh se nazre churate howe boli.
“Kuch Nahi.”
“Magar mujhe yun lag rha hai jaise….?magar main bat poori nahi ker paya ta k meri mamu zad Shela ne kareeb aa ker pocha.
“Assalamualikum Jadheer bhai….ye kon hain?”
“Ao Shela ye rakshanda hai.”maine khare ho ker uske jhuke howe ser per hath rakha wo Zu ki hum umar thi usi waqt mamu jan mere kareeb ae.
“Kaise ho barkhurdar?”unhone bazu khol ker mujhe gale se lagaya.
“Bilkul thk mamu jan.”main musarat se bola.
Uske bad mujhe rakshi k sath bat kerna naseeb nahi howa ta mehmanu ki amad o rafat jari rhi or phir maine taliyu ki ghonj me cake kata jab se Zu paida hoi thi main sb se pehle usey hi cake khilata ta or isi tarah apni salgirah per wo mujhe khilati.jab khane peene ka silsila shiro howa to maine rakshi ki talash me nazrein dorayin magar mujhe wo kahin nazar na ai usi waqt ghr me kam karne wali maryam bua hath me gift pack liye meri taraf ain.
“Chote sahib ji ye packet wo khobsurat c kuri jo gulabi garara pehne howe thi wo de gayi hai keh rhi thi mujhe jaldi me jana per rha hai meri taraf se tum chote sahab ko de dena.”
Maine jaldi se mobile nikala or uska number dial karne laga.
“jee.”usne pehli bell per cal attend ker li thi.
Maine shikwa kiya.”rakshi kia bat hai tum party shiro hote hi bhag gai?’
Wo sapaat lehje me boli.”kyu k party me ana meri galati thi jahan admi ki zarorat na ho wahan jana apni bezati karwane k mutradif hota hai.”
“Esi kia bat ho gayi hai?”
“Jhadeer sahab pls dobara rabta karne ki zehmat na kerna main tum se dur bhali meri bewaqofi k pehli thoker se sabak nahi sekha or phir khair khuda Hafiz.”usne poori bat kahe bagair rabta munkita ker diya.
Mujhe poora function pheeka or bemaza mehsos hone laga usi asna me Zu mere pas aa gayi.
“Rakshi nazar nahi aa rhi?”usne sarsari lehje me pocha.
“wo chali gayi hai wapis.”
“Kyu.”uski herani me mujhe khushi jhalakti hoi mehsos hoi.
“Uski merzi.”koshish k bawajoud me apne lehje me shamil talkhi nahi chupa saka ta.
“Tabiya kharab ho gayi thi ya koi zarori kam aa gaya ta?”Zu ka istefsar jari rha.
“mohtarma main uska sectary nahi hun.”usey keh ker main apne phopi zad jamshed ki taraf matwajoh ho gaya jo isi waqt wahan pohancha ta.
“Sorry Jadheer mujhe der ho gayi.”usne gift pack meri janib bharhate howe mazrat chahi.
Main pheeki muskurahat se bola.”Koi bat nahi jamshed bhai der sawer to zindagi ka hissa hai.”
“Kesi ho Azhra…..?”wo Zu ki taraf matwajoh howa.
“Fit and fine jamshed bhai!”
“Parhai kesi ja rahi hai?”wo Zu se pochne laga or main wahan se khisak liya.
ABHI K LIYE ITNA HI…..!
