[Bhatakta Rahi 1234]

मेरी नजर में वीर को भावना ने बचा लिया. उसकी सुनाई सजा की वजह से सबका दिमाग डायवर्ट हो गया, और सब उसे सजा देने की जगह सजा से बचाने में लग गए.

वरना उसकी बैंड बजने वाली थी।

Nice update. Waiting for next.

Update : 180 ~ The Interrogation (1)​

Ab tak...

Iske pehle ki woh aage kuch keh paati. Ek chhuri uski orr tezi se udte hue aayi aur uski kaan ki baali ko kaatate hue peeche darwaaze me jaa ke khus gayi.

??? : I.. have limited patience, girl!

Rebecca (frowns) : Itna gussa theek nahi. Akhir woh... Unhone hamesha duniya ka bhala hi chaaha tha. Aise me, tum...

??? : Murde ateet ka hissa hote hai!!! Aur, mein... *inhales* Mein sirf aur sirf bhavishya ke baare me sochta hu.

Rebecca : And, what about the world???

??? : THE WORLD... NEEDS A LIVING GOD!!!

Ab aage...

Harr taraf vyastata feli hui thi. Ava aur Veer cab me peeche chup-chap baithe the kyuki unki cab Mumbai ki halchal bhari sadko se guzar rahi thi. Kuch shan pehle hi woh Mumbai ki bhoomi par apne qadam rakhe the. Veer ne kisi ko abhi ghar par batana theek nahi samjha. Behtar vikalp pehle cab se ghar pahuchna hi tha.

Sheher cars ke horns ki dhwani, sadko par samaan bechne waalo ki bak-bak aur baaki shor-sharaabe ki awaaz se jeevant tha. Aasman me doobte sooraj ki halki garam kirne sadko par lambi chhayaaye bikher rahi thi.

Ava ne apna sarr khidki ki orr jhukaya. Uski aankhein parichit, lekin ab badle hue iss sheher ko badi hi jigyasa se dekh rahi thi. Lagbhag andhera hone ko ho raha tha aur usne ek sakri si gali me baccho ke ek samooh ko cricket khelta dekh paaya. Toh wahi unse kuch duri par teen chhoti-chhoti ladkiyaan aapas me khelti hui bhi use dikhayi di.

Unhe dekhte hi use Sonia aur Kaera ke sang bitaye gaye woh bachpan ke pal yaad aa gaye. Yaadein khatti-meethi, hasi aur masoomiyat se bhari thi jo ab uss se koso dur maalum pad rahi thi.

Ava (murmurs) : Sab kitna alag hai ab!

Woh fus-fusaate hue khud se hi boli.

Ava : Fir bhi... kisi tarah, apna sa hi lagta hai.

Veer ne uski orr dekha. Uske chehre ke bhaavo ko padha nahi jaa sakta tha. Inn dino Ava ke sang uski baatein kam hi ho rahi thi. Usne bade hi dhyaan se Ava ko padhna chaaha. Ava ke chehre par ubharti bhavnao ko samajhne ki woh koshish karne laga. Aur, ye jhutlaya nahi jaa sakta tha ki akhir kitni khubsoorat aur haseen thi woh.

Idhar Ava ne apni baat rakhni jaari rakhi. Woh dheere se boli.

Ava : Kuch aise hi mein Sonia aur Kaera ke saath khela karti thi. Hum bahut close the. Now, I wonder if they even remember me.

Veer (glances) : Log badalte hai. Lekin, yaadein lambe samay tak bani rehti hai.

Usne antatah kaha. Uska lehza kuch napa-tula hua tha.

Uski baat par Ava ne ek aah bhari. Aur, uski saansein shan bhar ke liye cab ki khidki par dhundh fela gayi. Ye pramaan tha ki sooraj dhal chuka tha aur thand ki halki leher vatavaran me felni shuru ho chuki thi. Saal ka akhiri mahina tha toh ye swabhavik bhi tha. Ava, punah boli.

Ava : Lekin hum dost se badh kar the, Veer. Hum sirf dost nahi the...! Hum behno ki tarah the. Par, ab... Ab hum ek dusre ke hi competitors hai. Wealth, beauty, status... Mujhe toh ye bhi nahi pata ki kya unse milna ek accha idea hoga ya nahi?

Veer ne apni nigaahein wapas se saamne sadak ki orr kari aur ahista se bola.

Veer : Jab tak koshish nahi karogi, toh bhala pata kaise chalega? Kabhi kabhi hamara ateet... khoyi hui cheez ko firse paane ka mauka deta hai hume.

Ava uske shabdo ki gehrayi se aashcharya-chakit hote hue use dekhi.

Ava : Aisa lagta hai jaise tumhe experience hai!?

Apne kandho ko halke se uchkate hue Veer ne baat ko taal diya. Shayad woh iss vishay par zyada vistar se baat nahi karna chahta tha. Unke beech ki khamoshi bhaari thi, ankahe vicharo aur ansuljhe tanaavo se bhari hui thi.

Toh wahi, yaha cab driver badi hi kushalta se bheed-bhaad waale bazaar ki sadko ko paar kar gaya, jaha kapdo ke jeevant rang aur street food ki sugandh hawa me bhar gayi.

Ava badi hi jigyasa se sab kuch dekh rahi thi. Use bachpan ki kuch tasveere yaad bhi aa rahi thi toh bahut kuch woh naya naya sa paa rahi thi.

Ava : Come to think of it. Jab hum pehli baar mile the. Toh, Suhana ne bataya tha ki tum Kaera aur Sonia ke dost ho. Hai na?

Veer : Miss Kaera? Yes! Sort of... Hum familiar hai. Miss Sonia? I don't know!

Veer ke maathe par silvatein chhaa gayi. Sonia ka zikr karte hi uske chehre ke bhaav badal chuke the. Woh bhoola nahi tha. Casa Belle me uss raat ke harr manzar uske zehen me dabe hue the. Ek ek shaks ke baare me woh jaan gaya tha ki kaun uske baare me kya sochta tha. Sonia uski madad ke liye aage nahi aayi thi. Kam se kam Kaera na Ruchika ko bheja toh tha. Par, Sonia?

Woh toh deal final karne me lagi hui thi. Ava ne jaise Veer ke haav bhaav padh liye aur isliye usne iss baat ko lamba kheechna jayaz nahi samjha.

Inn halchal bhari sadko se baahar nikal jaise hi woh main road par aaye toh marine drive ka manmohak drishya Ava ko nazar aaya.



Ava : Mujhe yaad hai... Mujhe bachpan me yaha aana bahut pasand tha. Yaha ek ice cream waale uncle hua karte the.

Veer : Hmm?

Ava (smiles) : Woh hamesha mujhe ek extra scoop dete the. Dad ke saath ghooma karti thi mein yaha.

Veer : Tab se ab tak Mumbai bahut badal chuki hai.

Ava : Hmm! Par, shayad kuch cheezein nahi badalti. Yaha ki energy, chaos... Woh abhi bhi waisa hi hai jaisa pehle tha.

Wo dono ek baar fir chup ho gaye. Unke beech wahi awkwardness fir fel gayi. Veer ne dheere se Ava ki orr dekha. Mask pehne hone ke kaaran sirf aur sirf uski khubsoorat aankhein hi nazar aa rahi thi. Uska mask pehan'na zaroori bhi tha. Worldwide famous celebrity aur singer hone ke naate woh apna chehra yuhi sab ke saamne nahi dikha sakti thi. Warna, turant ke turant hi woh ek news bann jaati. Aur, uski label company ke staff se leke uske secretary, private assistants sab uske peeche pad jaate aur use lene aa jaate.

Isliye, apni identity ko filhal jitna ho sake, utna chhipane ki zaroorat thi. Apne upar nazre mehsoos karte hi Ava ne turant mud ke Veer ki orr dekha toh Veer ne jhatse apni nazre ferr li. Aur, kuch shan baad usne saamne sadak par dekhte hue kaha.

Veer : Tum thak gayi hogi kaafi ab.

Ava (nods) : Hmm! Lekin, itna bhi nahi. Yaha wapas aake mujhe accha laga. Mujhe yaha samay guzaarne ki shayad waqai zaroorat thi.

Seat par Veer ki pakad shan bhar ke liye mazboot ho gayi. Usne ek gehri saans li, maano jaise kisi cheez ke liye khud ko taiyar kar raha ho.

Veer (thoda jhijakte hue) : Maine socha ki aaj raat theek se araam karna accha hoga.

Ava (with a forced smile) : Th-Thanks. I know. I- I appreciate it.

Parantu, tabhi cab mudi aur ek bade se hotel ki entrance me pravesh karne lagi. Hotel ka naam tha 'Serenity'. Jo Mumbai ki bahut hi luxurious hotels me se ek thi.




Hotel ka logo dekhte hi Ava ki muskan feeki pad gayi kyuki use jaise andaza lag gaya ki woh kaha jaa rahe the. Woh Veer ki orr mudi. Uske chehre par bhram spasht tha.

Ava (voice tinged with worry) : Veer, hum yaha kyu jaa rahe hai?

Cab, Serenity ke akarshak aur adhunik pravesh dwar tak pahuchi. Veer ne use dekha aur uske chehre par thodi sakhti ke bhaav umad aaye.

Veer (sthir roop se) : Tum ab se kuch dino ke liye yahi rukogi. Maine tumhare liye ek room book kar diya hai.

Ava (stunned) : Kya??? Kyu?? Mujhe laga-

Use laga tha ki woh Veer ke sang uske ghar jaa rahi hai. Ab se wo wahi rahegi. Veer ke parivar ke saath uska rishta bhi bann jayega aur apne parivar ko kho dene ke baad woh Veer ke parivar me hi apni khushiyaan dhundh legi. Isi ke saath Veer se uska rishta bhi savarne lagega. Kintu, aisa na hua. Aur, uske saare armaano par jaise paani fir gaya.

Veer (tokte hue, lekin dheere se) : Ava! We both need some space. Ghar par mein bina details diye gaya tha China. Now that I'm back, they'll demand an explanation from me. Aur, tumhe waha le jaa ke filhal problems aur badh jayengi. Behtar yahi hai ki tumhe kuch samay baad unse milwaya jaaye. Jab tak ki mein situation ko sort out na kar lu apne end se.

Ava ka dil ye sunte hi chotil ho utha. Fir bhi woh samajhne ki koshish karte hue boli.

Ava : I- I see! I understand. I should have expected it. I-



Veer ne apni nazre ferr li. Kahi na kahi woh jaanta tha ki ye ravaiyya sahi nahi tha. Magar, woh majboor tha. Usne baahar nikal darwaza khola aur bellboy ko ishara kiya. Bellboy haami bhar car se Ava ka samaan nikaalte hue, use leke andar chal diya.

Veer ke darwaze kholne par Ava car se baahar aayi aur uske saath andar ko gayi. Uski chaal iss baar dheemi thi. Jaise maano achanak iss sthiti ke badlaav ka bhaar uss par daab diya gaya ho.

Veer : It's not permanent. Just until I sort things out.

Ava (softly, with a sad smile) : It's alright!

Woh dono chalte hue hotel ki lobby me pravesh kiye. Sheher ka halchal bhara shor ab hotel ke interior ki shaant sundarta se kam ho chuka tha. Veer ne aage badh receptionist se baat ki aur badle me receptionist ne use ek chaavi thama di. Veer ne woh key-card Ava ko thamaya aur bola.

Veer : Room 3rd floor par hai. Kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho toh mujhe call kar sakti ho. You have my number?

Ava : Mere paas ye waala hai.

Usne apni mobile ki screen dikhaate hue kaha.

Veer : Nahi, ye purana wala hai. Here! Give it to me.

Veer ne Ava ka phone lete hue apna number uspe feed kiya aur use wapas kar diya.

Ava (nods) : Thank you!

Dono kuch derr tak maun rahe. Veer ne punah use dekha. Magar, iss baar uske chehre ke bhaav narm pad gaye.

Veer : I'll take my leave then. Have a good night.

Ava : Umm! Good night... Veer!

Woh mudi aur lift ki orr chali gayi. Veer wahi khada bas use jaate hue dekhta raha. Uska dil ek uljhan me fasa hua tha. Lift ka darwaza ahista se band hone laga aur uski aur Ava ki nazre ek dusre se akhiri pal tak takrayi rahi, jab tak ki lift ka darwaza poori tarah band na ho gaya. Lift upar ki orr chali gayi aur Veer yuhi akela lobby me hi khada reh gaya.

Ek gehri saans chorrte hue usne ab apne ghar ke liye prasthan kiya. Veer ka dil zara bhi sthir nahi tha. Dhadkane tez bani hui thi. Na jaane ghar par uski sab kaisi class lene waale the.

'Pari-!?'

Usne mann me hi pukara. Kintu, koi uttar na aaya. Veer niraash hote hue sarr jhuka ke baitha raha. Ghar lagbhag nazdeek hi tha.

Rahi baat Pari ki toh woh sleep mode me jaa chuki thi. Kuch derr pehle hui dono ki behes ki wajah se woh rooth ke sleep mode me chali gayi thi.

Kuch derr pehle...

Jab Veer aur Ava dono hi Bharat par apne qadam rakhne ke liye bas kuch hi pal dur the. Toh, Veer aur uske antarmann yaani ki Pari me ek jung chhidi hui thi. Jaha Veer Pari ke dogle ravaiyye se nirash aur ghayal sa mehsoos kar raha tha. Toh wahi, Pari Veer se isliye khafa thi kyuki woh uski baat sunane ke liye raazi nahi tha.

Woh plane me hi apni seat par baitha hua tha aur uske dimag me vicharo ka toofan chal raha tha. Usne apne andar Pari ki parichit upasthiti mehsoos ki. Ek aramdayak lekin ab saath hi saath thodi kashtdayak anubhuti. Pari ki jo chuppi pehle use aashvasan deti thi toh ab wahi chuppi vishvasghaat jaisi mehsoos ho rahi thi.

'Pari! Tumne mujhe sach kyu nahi bataya?'

Veer ki halki kaapti hui awaaz uske mann me hi goonji.

[Master!! I was trying to... trying to protect you.]

'PROTECT ME??? Kis se?? Sach se? Tumne mujhe jhooth par vishvas karwaya, Pari! Maine kabhi kisi bhi Pari pe itna bharosa nahi kiya jitna tum par kiya tha.'

Uski awaaz krodh aur dukh ke mishran me oonchi ho gayi. Pari, bhi jaise chotil mehsoos kar rahi thi.

Ek thehrav aaya. Ek sannata chha gaya jo anant kaal tak khichta hua prateet hone laga. Aur, Pari ki madhur awaaz thodi derr baad Veer ke kaano me padi.

[Master! Maine kabhi aapko dhoka nahi diya hai. Aapko samajhna hoga. Ye sab mere bas me nahi tha.]

Veer ke haath ki mutthi aur zorr se kass gayi.

'Tumhare paas ek option tha, Pari. Ek option tha!!! Lekin, tumne mujhe andhere me rakha. KYU??? PARI??? Kya maza aaya tumhe aisa karne me? Mujhe uss cheez par vishvas karte dekhna jo asal me thi hi nahi. Kya maza aa gaya tumhe ye kar ke???'

[Nahiiiii!!!!]

Woh zorr se chillayi. Uski awaaz ruwase swar se foot-foot kar bhavnao se bhari hui thi.

[Aapko lagta hai ye maze ke liye tha? Kabhi bhi nahi! Hargiz nahi! Aap mere liye koi entertainment nahi ho, Master!!! Harr baar system jab upgrade hota tha toh mujhe hatna padta tha. Mujhe hi nahi, harr Pari ko system upgrade hone ke baad hatna hi padta hai. Hum sab baadhya hai. Ye hamare control me nahi.]

Veer ne apna sarr naa me hilaaya. Uski aankhein mayus thi.

'Lekin, tum mujhe bata sakti thi. You could have warned me somehow. I thought we shared something special, something real.'

[We do, Master!!! WE DO!!!]

Pari ki awaaz ab yaachna bhari thi.

[Aapke saath har pal asli tha. Har emotion, har ek baat-cheet. Mein aapko bata na saki kyuki... kyuki mein darti thi.]

'Dar? Kiska dar? Mujhe khone ka dar?'

[Haan!]

Pari ne sweekar kiya. Uski awaaz bamushqil fus-fusaane waali thi.

[Mujhe darr tha ki aapko agar ye sab pehle hi pata chala toh aap mujhe nakaar denge. Mein aapko khone ke baare me bhi nahi soch sakti, Master. Y-You... You are my everything.]

Veer ka gussa thoda kam hua lekin uski jagah gehri udaasi ne leli.

'Par, inn harqato se tum mujhe kho hi rahi ho, Pari!'

Ye sunte hi bechari Pari ko aisa mehsoos hua jaise maano uska dil kisi ne khanjar se cheer diya ho.

'Jis pal tumne sach chhipane ka faisla kiya. Tumne mujhe kho hi diya. Ab mein tum par kaise bharosa kar sakta hu?'

[MUJHE NAHI PATA...!!! *sniff*]

Ek roti hui awaaz aayi jis se Veer bhi hairat me reh gaya.

[Mujhe nahi pata ki aap ka vishvas firse kaise paungi. I don't know!!! Par, maine kuch bhi jaan boojh ke nahi kiya. Mein aapko khone ke jokhim nahi utha sakti. *sniff* Everything was planned but for your own good.]

'Huh???'

[Maine aapse identity nahi chhipayi, Master. Level 2 pe jo Pari aapko mili thi, saara khel uske baad se hi shuru hua tha. Pehle aapne iss par zyada dhyaan nahi diya par harr baar personality ke badalne par aapne finally ek guess kiya tha aur bataya tha ki ye sab hamari personalities ka badlav hai. *sniff* Aapko yaad hai? Aapne kaha tha ki Pari tum bhi Suhana ki tarah personalities badalti ho.]

'Hmm!'

[Dhyan rahe, Master. Ye aapke deductions the. Maine ya kisi bhi Pari ne aapke mann me ye information feed nahi kari thi. Jo anuman lagaya tha woh aapka khud ka tha. Aur, mein aur baaki levels ki Pari fir aapki theory ke according chalte gaye.]

'Mera sawaal ye hi hai ki bhala uss samay tumne mujhe toka kyu nahi? Mein maanta hu ki woh saare assumptions mere the. Par, usi waqt kya tum seedhe-seedhe ye nahi bata sakti thi ki mere predictions galat hai. Tumhe kehna chahiye tha ki Master hum alag-alag personalities nahi hai. Balki, alag-alag log hai. Kyu nahi bataya tumne mujhe ye? Kyu rakha mujhe dhoke me? Bolo-!!!'

[KYUKI USS WAQT WAHI SAHI THA!!!! *sniff*]

'????'

[Jab aapne apni prediction saamne rakhi thi toh uss waqt jo bhi Pari aapke saath maujood thi usne aapko correct karna theek nahi samjha. Aur, fir uske baad hume bhi usi theory par chalna pada.]

'Kyuuu??? Usne mujhe usi samay kyu nahi bataya? Aur, baad me tum bhi toh bata sakti thi na?'

[KYUKI, WOH AAP PAR POORI TARAH SE TRUST NAHI KARTI!!!]

'Huh???'

[UNLIKE ME... JO AAP PAR POORA VISHVAS RAKHTI HAI. *sniff* PAR USS SAMAY JO PARI AAPKE SAATH THI WOH AAP PAR COMPLETE TRUST NAHI RAKHTI THI.]

'KYUUUU???'

[KYUKI, USE DARR THA.]

'Kaisa darr?'

[Jaise jaise hum apne baare me aapko bataate jaate hai, hum khud ko potentially risk me daalte jaate hai.]

'Huh? Risk? Kis cheez ka risk?'

[Abhi bas itna samajh lijiye ki uss Pari ne kuch soch samajh kar hi aapko sach nahi bataya tha. Use shayad darr tha ki jitni information aapko hamare baare me pata lagti jayegi utne hi risk me woh aur baaki sab aati jayengi. Jo ki sach hai. Lekin, unke liye. Mere liye nahi. Mein aap pe complete trust rakhti hu. Aur, mujhe poora yakeen hai ki hume aap se kabhi koi khatra raha hi nahi hai.]

'Mujhse khatra-!? Ek minute! Ye tum kya-!?'

[And, now I understand ki pichli Pari aap par control lene ke liye itni utaawli kyu thi. She wanted to make the move before you could even comprehend the knowledge about us.]

'What?'

[Itna samajh lijiye, Master. Jaise aapko pichhli Pari se khatra tha. Waise hi baaki Pariyo ko bhi aapse khatra hai. Siwae mere. Because, I trust you completely. Agar, sirf mein hoti toh aapko sab kuch pehle hi bata chuki hoti. Lekin, sirf mein hi nahi hu.]

'You are complicating it more, Pari.'

[Mein aapko kabhi dhoka de hi nahi sakti. I will never... NEVER!!!]

'???'

[Aapke high intelligence hone ke bawajood aapne iss sacchayi par aise react kiya. Zara sochiye... ki agar aapko tab ye pata chalta toh aap kaise react karte? Kya aap vishvas kar paate?]

'I-'

[I will make things simple for you, Master.

Point 1 : Aapne apni assumption banayi thi ki pari ki different personalities hai. Maine ya kisi ne aapko ye knowledge nahi di thi.

Point 2 : Jab aapne ye assumption batayi toh jo Pari uss waqt aapke saath maujood thi woh isi theory ke saath gayi. Usne aapko sach batana theek nahi samjha kyuki woh aap par complete trust nahi rakhti shayad.

Point 3 : Jitna aapko hamare baare me pata lagega utna hi hamara existence khatre me rahega. Because, there are things which can be done to remove our existence. Ye shayad mujhe abhi nahi batana chahiye tha par maine bata diya hai. Just for you.

Point 4 : Uss Pari ke kaaran baakiyo ko bhi wahi theory ke hisaab se chalna pada kyuki, unhe bhi laga ki woh khatre me pad sakti hai.

Point 5 : Isliye, pichli Pari ne aap pe takeover karna chaaha because she was afraid you might remove her existence from this world. So, she thought it's better to make the first move before it gets too late.

Point 6 : Mujhe majbooran uss theory ke according chalna pada. Maine socha tha ki jab aap khud se ye decode karoge toh mein aapko sab samjha dungi. But, I failed. Aap meri expectations se zyada hi niraash ho gaye. Jo ki sahi hai. I admit, I was in the wrong.

Point 7 : Unlike them, mein aap pe complete trust rakhti hu. I'm not at all afraid of you. I want us to be together and live our moments happily. I... No! I think that's enough.

Point 8 : Agar, aapko lagta hai ki maine ye sab jaan boojh ke kiya hai toh mein ab aapko yakeen kaise dilau ki maine ye sab jaan boojh ke nahi kiya? Iske baare me mujhe kuch nahi pata. Par, fir bhi aapko lagta hai ki mein hi galat hu. Toh, I'm sorry. I... *sniff* I won't appear now. I will only talk when it'll be needed. Take care, Master.]

*Ding*

[The system has entered into sleep mode.]

'Pariiii!!!! Pari... Wait!!!'

Kintu, Pari sleep mode me jaa chuki thi. Veer ne kheejte hue mutthi kasi. Use kahi na kahi ab apne upar bhi krodh aa raha tha. Bagal me baithi Ava ne jab use iss tarah dekha toh woh puchne par majboor ho gayi.

Ava : Veer? Are you alright?

Veer (glances) : H-Huh!? Y-Yeah!

Ava : You look tense!

Veer : N-Nahi! Bas, yuhi...

Ava (nods) : Okay!

[Something is wrong, dear.]

Lily ki awaaz Ava ke mann me goonji.

'Lily? Kya Veer kisi taqleef me hai?'

[Nahi! Woh kisi tarah ki internal conflict me hai. Usne ek ajeeb sa sawal pucha tha. Ki kya meri alag alag personalities hai ya nahi. Right?]

'That's right!'

[Dear! Aisa sawal woh tab hi puch sakta hai jab uske khud ke system ki alag alag personalities ho. Warna iss thought ke sath woh kabhi aa hi nahi sakta.]

'You mean-!?'

[Hmm! Veer ka system weirdly act kar raha hai shayad. Aur, ab woh confused hai ki kya sirf uska hi system aise act karta hai ya fir baakiyo ka bhi? Aur, tumhare answer dene ke baad se hi woh tensed hai. Iska matlab saaf hai ki uska system alag tarah se act kar raha hai.]

'That's-'

[It's weird. Akhir, chal kya raha hai? You'll have to keep a close watch on him, dear.]

'Okay!'

Aur, isi behes ke baad se Pari sleep mode me thi. Veer ke kayi baar pukaarne par bhi uska koi jawab na aaya.

Dekhte hi dekhte samay kab guzar gaya, Veer ko pata hi na chala. Jab cab ke driver ne use awaaz lagayi tab jaake use hosh aaya aur dekha toh paaya ki woh apne ghar ke area me enter kar chuka tha.

Cab driver : Bhaiya, seedha hi jaana hai na?

Veer : Nahi bhaiya! Bas, pehle mod se daaye le lena.

Gaadi daayi orr mudi aur Veer ko apna ghar nazar aa gaya.

Veer : Bas, woh white color ka ghar dikh raha na bada sa? Wahi rok dena.

Aur, kuch hi seconds me woh apne ghar ke saamne tha. Utarte hi usne pehle cab driver ko uski uchit raashi dete hue waha se vida kiya. Uske baad apna samaan uthaate hue woh ghar ki orr chal diya. Baahar ek bhi car nahi khadi hui thi. Uski Rolls Royce Ghost bhi nahi. Iska matlab saaf tha ki ghar par log kam the.

Thodi raahat mehsoos kar Veer gate ke andar aaya. Kaise kaise sawal uss par feke jayenge aur unke uttar kaise dena hai, yahi sab sochne me uska dimag vyast tha.

'Fuu-!!! Chal Veer! Ab jo hoga dekha jayega.'

Usne main hall ke gate ko dhakka de kar khola toh uske senses turant hi satark ho gaye. Darwaza band nahi tha. Aisa toh kabhi nahi hota tha.

'Gate locked nahi hai?'

Jaise hi usne andar qadam rakha. Uske qadmo ki awaaz lagbhag na ke barabar thi. Haal hi ke dino ki uthal-puthal ke baad use apne ghar ka ye mahaul aramdayak aur ajeeb dono hi lag raha tha. Use ghar ki iss khamoshi ko darj karne ka samay hi na mila jab darwaze ke theek peeche se ek spasht, madhur aur jaani pehchani awaaz uske kaano me padi.

"Kyu mister? Aakhir aapko ghar ki yaad aa hi gayi?"

Veer chaunkte hue peeche muda. Aur, dekha toh paaya ki-

Veer : Kavya tum-!?

Kavya : Haan mein!!! Kyu? Kya mein yaha nahi ho sakti?

Veer : Nahi! Mera matlab woh nahi tha.

Uski pyari chhoti behan Kavya haath par haath baandhe darwaze ke peeche khadi thi aur uske chehre par krodh, peeda, khushi aur raahat ka ek mishran nazar aa raha tha. Uski aankhein ankahi bhavnao se chamak rahi thi. Jaise maano apne bhai ko wapas se dekh atyant khush thi woh, magar saath hi utni hi krodhit bhi. Aur, Veer bina puche na reh saka. Woh itni savdhani se dabe paav andar aaya tha. Akhir, Kavya ko uski maujoodgi ka ehsaas kaise hua?

Veer : Kavya-!! Tumhe kaise pata chala ki mein-

Kavya ne uske prashn par bas apni ungli se kamre ke kone ki orr ishara kiya. Veer ne jab dekha toh paaya ki dur kamre ke kone par ek monitor screen lagi hui thi jo ghar ke baahar se leke andar tak vibhinn drishya pradarshit kar rahi thi.

Veer (aashcharya me) : Security cameras?

Kavya : Hmm! Ragini bhabhi ne lagwaye hai.

Veer : Bhabhi ne!?

Kavya : Kuch din pehle society se ek bike chori ho gayi thi. Isliye, bhabhi ne cameras install karwana better samjha.

Veer : Ohh!

Veer ne baat jaan kar dheere se haami bhari. Ragini!!! Shayad, uski gerr-haziri me wahi ghar ki kamaan ko sambhalti thi. Woh hamesha se hi vyavharik aur doordarshi thi. Aur, vastav me ye security cameras ka uska nirnay ekdum uchit nirnay tha. Agar, andar aate waqt uska khud ka dhyaan security cameras par nahi gaya, iska matlab cameras ekdum sahi jagah par lage hue the. Woh apne vicharo se turant hi baahar aaya jab usne dekha ki Kavya ke chehre ke haav bhaav krodh aur peeda me tabdeel ho chuke hai.

Kavya : Kidhar gaye the aap???

Veer : Mein-

Kavya : Kuch puch rahi hu aapse!!! Kidhar the aap???

Veer : China!!

Ek pal ke liye Kavya hairan hui. Magar, woh jaanti thi ki Veer India ke baahar hi gaya hua tha. Itna toh use Tejal se pata chal gaya tha. Lekin, woh China me tha. Iski Kavya ne koi umeed nahi ki thi.

Kavya : Aap China me kya kar rahe the? Aur, aapko itna time kyu laga???

Uski awaaz dabi hui bhavna se kaanp uthi.

Kavya : Aapne hamare messages ka reply dena band kyu kar diya tha??? Aapko andaza bhi hai ki hum sab kitne pareshan the yaha?

Uski awaaz ab bhavuk hone ke saath saath teevra ho gayi. Woh Veer ko wapas dekh behad khush thi magar itni asani se bhala kaise maaf kar sakti thi woh use? Veer ye dekh chintit hua aur samajh gaya ki uska saamna aaj kayi saari musibato se hone waala tha. Jinme se sabse pehli thi uski ye pyaari naraaz baithi chhoti behan.

Veer : Kavya, mein-

Kavya : Aap sirf ek letter likh ke kaise jaa sakte ho?? Kaun si sadi me jee rahi ho aap? Aapne apna phone khol ke check bhi kiya ki hum sab ke kitne messages dale hue hai?

Veer : Maine calls ke jawab diye the, Kavya!

Kavya : Aur, messages ka kya??? Aapko kuch seconds bhi nahi mile hume reply dene ke liye? Aur, mere sawal ka jawab kyu nahi diya?? Kar kya rahe the aap China me??

Veer ne apne baalo me haath firaate hue ek aah bhari.

Veer : Mujhe business ke silsile me jaana pada, Kavya. Ye zaroori tha.

Kavya : Business???

Kavya ki aankhein sikud gayi. Uski awaaz me sandeh saaf jhalak raha tha.

Kavya : Aur, aapne hume kuch aur batana zaroori nahi samjha??? Aapko andaza bhi hai ki hum sab kitni tension me the yaha???

Bolte waqt uski aankhon me aakrosh saaf jhalak raha tha.

Veer (sighs) : Mein jaanta hu, Kavya!

Usne apni nazre churaate hue sweekar kiya. Glaani ka bojh uske upar bhaar badhata jaa raha tha. Akhir, na jaane kitni hi baar woh apne parivar jano ke saath ye vyavhar kar chuka tha.

Kavya : Aur, aapke jaanane se kuch antar aaya? Kuch sudhra? Aap jab chaahe tab apni marzi se aa jaa nahi sakte aise. SAMAJH GAYE NA AAP!!??

Uski hatasha uske swar me spasht thi. Aur, kyu na hatash hoye woh Veer se? Jab chaahe Veer bina bataye chala jaata tha aur yaha sab ke sab uski chinta karte rehte the. Veer ne apni harqat ki gambheerta ko mehsoos kar ek aah bhari.

Veer : I'm sorry, Kavya! M-Mujhe sabhi ko acche se sab kuch bata ke hi jaana chahiye tha. Par, mein majboor tha.

Kavya : Sorry se kaam nahi chalne waala. Sab log kitna niraash hai aap se aapko kuch pata bhi hai?

Veer : Huh!?

Kavya ne ek chetavni dete hue use batlaya. Uski awaaz iss baar chinta se bhari thi. Apne parivar ke gusse ka saamna karne ke baare me soch kar hi Veer ka dil baith gaya.

Veer : I guess mujhe abhi se hi dherr saari daat sunane ke liye khud ko taiyaar kar lena chahiye.

Usne halka sa darrte hue apne aap se hi budbudaya. Jab Kavya ne dekha ki uske bhaiya waqai chintit hai toh apni baato ko palatate hue woh boli.

Kavya : Anyways... A-Aap... Kya laaye aap mere liye waha se?

Veer : Huh???

Veer ne hairat me use dekha. Usne dekha ki uski behan Kavya muh fulaaye haath par haath baandhe apna chehra fere khadi hui thi. Iss Kavya se woh bhali bhaanti parichit tha. Woh natak kar rahi thi. Usne Veer ko pehle hi maaf kar diya tha magar woh itni jald apni khushi zaahir nahi karna chaahti thi.

Kavya : Kuch pucha maine aapse. Kya laaye aap mere liye waha se?

Veer (lies) : Maaf karna, Kavya! Mein tumhare liye kuch na laa saka. Mujhe samay hi na mila.

Usne jhooth bol diya. Woh sabhi ke liye kuch na kuch leke aaya tha. Par, jaise woh sabhi ko surprise dena chahta tha. Kavya ki aankhon me nirasha saaf jhalak rahi thi.

Kavya : Kuch bhi nahi???

Veer : Hmm! Kuch bhi nahi! Par, tum kaho! Kya chahiye? Tum jo maangogi, mein wo laa ke dunga.

Kavya uski baat sunn chand pal ke liye toh muh fulayi par fir kuch sochte hue shararti dhang se boli.

Kavya : Pakka? Mein jo kahungi aap woh laa ke doge?

Veer (nods) : Bilkul!

Kavya : Heh~ Toh fir mujhe poora ka poora 'Garofano products' ka luxury brand chahiye. Woh businesswoman jo 'Paisa lele' hotel me mili thi na hume? Mujhe unka poora brand chahiye. Bolo?

Veer : Paisa lele hotel??

Kavya : Haan! Wahi Casa Belle hotel. I call it 'Paisa lele' hotel. Mujhe zara bhi pasand nahi wo. Lootna hi aata hai bas unn logo se. I hate them. Hmph~

Veer : Hahahahahaha-!!!

Veer uski baat par thahaake lagaane par khud ko na rok saka. Uski ye chhoti behan waqai me alag kism ki thi.

Veer : Toh, tumhe 'Garofano products' ki ownership chahiye?

Kavya (nods) : Hmm! Hmm!

Maang sunte hi pehle toh Veer hairat me reh gaya. Billions of dollars net worth waali 'Garofano products' ki brand koi dukan se khareedne waala samaan toh thi nahi ki jab mann kiya khareed liya. Use zara bhi andaza nahi tha ki uski ye chhoti behan aisi kuch maang rakh degi.

Toh wahi, Kavya apne bade bhaiya ke chehre ke bhaav badalte dekh mann hi mann thahaake lagane lagi. Kintu, Veer ne aage jo kuch bhi kaha use sunte hi bechari Kavya stabdh hone par majboor ho gayi.

Veer : Hmm! Tumhari maang... toh waqai badi hai meri chhoti behan. I wonder Violet raazi hoyegi ya nahi? I think I might be able to pull this off in the future. Alright! Mujhe thoda waqt lagega Kavya. Lekin, mein vaada karta hu ki mein 'Gaorfano products' ko tumhare naam-

Kavya (gasps) : Ahhhh-!!!! Awawawawawa-!!! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop itttt!!!!

Veer : Hmm?

Kavya Veer ko bhauchakke bhaav liye dekhe jaa rahi thi. Uske gaal laal tamatar ki tarah laal ho rakhe the. Haya ke chalte uska dil zoro se dhadakne laga. Usne apne sapne me bhi nahi socha tha ki uska bhai uski iss betuki maang ko itne gambheer roop se lega. Woh iss qadar sharmayi ki daudate hui aake seedhe uske gale se lag gayi. Ab aakhir kaise gussa kare wo uspe?

Veer : Arey??? Kya hua?

Kavya (blushes) : Ch-Chup rahiye aap ekdum.

Veer : Huh???

Kavya (blushes) : Aapko pata hai aapne kya kiya hai abhi?

Veer : ???

Kavya : Oh god! You are so stupid bhaiya.

Veer : What???

Kavya (blushes) : But I love it...

Veer : ????

Kavya (blushes) : Every single bit of it.

Woh Veer ke seene se alag hui aur use pyaar se nihaari. Kehne toh woh hazaar shabd chaahti thi magar saari baaton ko usne apne zehen me hi rehne diya.

Agar, yahi maang usne apne sage bhai Vivek ya Pranjal se rakhi hoti toh woh shayad uska mazaak bana ke uske sarr par tapli maar, uski maang ko hasi ka paatr bana dete. Jo ki lazmi bhi tha maang ko dekhte hue. Par, Veer ne aisa kuch na kiya. Ye jaante hue bhi ki uski behan ne uss se kya maanga hai, uske bawajood woh use dene ke baare me soch raha tha aur tatpar bhi tha. Uska ye bhaav hi kaafi tha Kavya ka dil jeetne ke liye. Kavya ki aankhein namm ho chali.

Kavya : Bhaiya! Mujhe kuch bhi nahi chahiye.

Veer : Wait...! Seriously?

Kavya : Agar aapko kuch dena hi hai toh mujhe ek promise dijiye bas.

Veer : Ohh! Kya?

Kavya : Pehle aap bataiye ki aap nibha paoge ya nahi? Tabhi, mein apna promise bataungi.

Veer (smiles) : Apni chhoti behan ko vaada dene ke baare me kya sochna? Tum bolo!

Kavya : Soch lijiye! Baad me aap kahi pacchtao na.

Veer (smiles) : 'Pacchtana' shabd meri dictionary me nahi meri pyaari chhoti behan.

Kavya : Toh theek hai fir. Promise kariye ki jab jab mein aapko bulaungi, aapko mere saath time spend karne ke liye aana hoga.

Veer : Huh?

Kavya : Ghabraiye mat. Mein aapko aapke kisi kaam ke beech nahi bulaungi. Itni samajh hai mujh me. Magar, jab jab aapka aa paana possible hoga aap mere bulaane par aaoge. Toh? Kya kehte ho?

Veer (smiles) : Bas? Mujhe toh laga tha tum kuch bada maangogi.

Kavya (budbudate hue) : Ye mere liye bada hi hai buddhu bhaiya~

Veer : Kyu bada hai?

Kavya (blushes) : Ahhh-!!! K-Kuch nahi! Aapne kaise sunn liya? Ahem-!!! Anyways!! Toh? Bolo bolo! Promise manzoor hai ya fir-?

Veer (smiles) : Mujhe manzoor hai. Meri chhoti behan jab mujhe bulayegi tab uska bhai uske liye haazir ho jayega. Ab khush?

Aur, Kavya ab khud ko na rok saki. Uske naino se aasuo ka baandh khula aur aasu gaalo ko bhigote chale gaye. Veer use rota dekh thoda chintit hua.

Veer : H-Hey- Kya hua?

Kavya (sobs) : You stupid...!!!

Veer : ???

Kavya (sobs) : You idiot Bhaiya-!!!

Veer : Huh???

Kavya : I missed you so much. *sniff* So much!!!

Veer : Kavya...

Kavya : I missed you so much-!!! *sniff* Aap hamare messages ka bhi reply nahi de rahe the. *sniff* H-Hum kitna pareshan the ye hum hi jaante hai. *sniff*

Veer : ...

Kavya : M-Mujhe ye bilkul bhi pasand nahi hai. *sniff* J-Jab jab aap aise ghar se jaate ho mujhe bilkul accha nahi lagta hai. *sniff*

Veer : I'm sorry!

Usne ahista se Kavya ki peeth par haath fera. Kass ke chipke hone ke chalte use Kavya ke uroj bhali bhaanti apni chhaathi par mehsoos ho rahe the. Uski ye chhoti behan ab jawan ho chuki thi.

Veer ne use apne seene se thoda dur kiya aur uske komal chehre ko dekh muskuraya. Kavya ki aankhon me aasu oas ki boondo ki tarah saji hui thi. Unhe ahista se anguthe se malkar usne uske aasu pocche.

Kavya : Ab se aap kahi bhi aise nahi jaoge. *sniff* Samajh gaye na aap?

Veer (smiles) : Samajh gaya!

Kavya : Promise karo!

Veer (nods) : Promise!

Aur, woh punah uske gale se lag gayi. Shirt ko kass ke bheenchte hue woh aaj Veer ko chorrne ke liye taiyar nahi thi. Jab uska sisakna thoda kam hua tab Veer ne uss se pucha.

Veer : Accha, ab ye toh batao ki ghar me sirf tum kyu ho? Baaki sab kaha hai?

Kavya : Ahh! Right! Sab bahut kaam me lage hue hai. Arohi di aur Tejal didi hamare naye cloth brand, 'Yarnia' ke liye outlet ke liye jagah dekhne gayi hai. Unke saath chhoti Tai ji bhi gayi hui hai.

Veer : Chhoti Tai ji maane-

Kavya : Aapki mummy!!!

Veer : Maa wapas aa gayi?

Kavya : Hmm! Tejal didi ne aapko message kiya bhi tha iss baare me. Par, aapko message padhne ke liye time mile tab na...

Veer : Ahhh! My bad!!! Aur, baaki sab?

Kavya : Sonali toh food truck me hogi. Bhumika didi hotel me hai. Suman aunty mahila mandal ke kisi kaam se gayi hui hai shaam se. Badi Tai ji aur Ragini bhabhi saath me car se kahi gayi hui hai. Unke baare me mujhe nahi pata. Kuch bata ke nahi gayi.

Veer : Aur, tum kab aayi yaha?

Kavya : 2 din pehle!!!

Veer (nods) : Hmm!

Kavya : Ab aap jaldi se jaa ke fresh ho lijiye. Thak gaye hoge aap. Boliye! Kya piyoge? Chai? Ya coffee? Mein bana dungi.

Veer : Chai behtar rahegi.

Kavya : Okay! Aap jaiye apne room me. Mein bana ke laati hu.

Veer : Mera room khula hai?

Kavya : Haan! Bhabhi daily safayi karti hai aapke kamre ki. Jaiye jaldi ab!

Veer : Hmm!

Veer apna luggage uthaate hue apne kamre ki orr chal diya toh wahi Kavya uske liye garma garam chai banaane ke liye kitchen me chali gayi.

Kamre me aate hi Veer apna luggage rakh washroom me ghus gaya. Nahaate waqt usne apne aap ko sheeshe me dekha. Uske jism par jagah jagah chot ke nishaan maujood the. Geele badan ke saath neeche towel baandhe jaise hi woh washroom se baahar aaya toh utne me hi Kavya uske liye chai lekar uske kamre me aa gayi.

Kavya : Bhaiya~ Ye rahi aapki-!!??

Aur, uske qadam wahi tham gaye. Aankhein stabdh hone ke chalte fel gayi. Veer ke badan par chot ke nishaan dekhti hi woh ghabra uthi.

Kavya : Bh-Bhaiya-!?

Chai ke cup ko wahi table par rakh woh daud ke uske paas aayi aur uske jism par haath ferrte hue ghabra uthi.

Kavya : Bhaiya-!! Bhaiya ye kya hai? Ye sab... Ye kya hua hai aapko?

Veer : Kuch nahi! Chot lag gayi thi bas.

Woh toh accha tha ki yaha aane se pehle hi Garofano ne uske badan se taake nikaal diye the. Warna, agar Kavya uske badan par taake lage dekh leti toh musibat aur badh jaati.

Kavya : K-Kaise?? Bhaiya, kya hua mujhe bataiye na!!!

Veer ne pyaar se uske sarr par haath fera aur use samjhaate hue bola.

Veer : Kuch nahi, Kavya!! Shhh! Kuch nahi! It's okay! Mein theek hu! Look! I'm perfectly fine. Ye chot ke nishaan pehle ke hai. Dheere dheere chale jayenge. Remember, France? Tab, waha mein fass gaya tha? Tab ke hai ye nishaan.

Na chaahte hue bhi use jhooth bolna hi pada. Magar, Kavya jaise aaj uske jhaanse me nahi fassne wali thi.

Kavya : Ahh! T-Tab ke? Itne puraane? Nahi!! Aap jhooth bol rahe ho!!! Vacation me maine dekha tha aapko... Tab ye nishaan nahi the. Sach boliye!!! Bhaiya please-!!!

Veer (sighs) : Tum meri pyaari behan ho na???

Kavya (nods) : Mmm *sniff* P-Par-

Veer : Toh behan apne bhai ki baat sunti hai na?? I'm okay! Mujhe kuch nahi hua hai. Ye chot ke nishaan bas ek clash me mile the. Udhar thodi situation bigad gayi thi. But, everything is fine now. Don't worry!

Kavya : C-Clash?? K-Kaisi clash? Kya hua tha? Bhaiya-

Veer (frowns) : Kavyaaa!!!!

Kavya (sobs) : Please! Bataiye... Kya hua tha...

Veer : Kuch nahi! Come here!

Veer ne use apne seene se laga liya. Woh punah rote hue uske seene me chhip gayi.

Kavya (sobs) : Aap hamesha asli baat chhipaate ho. I hate you-!!!

Veer : Wo sab chorro! Zyada socha nahi karte. Mein tumhare liye kuch laaya hu. Sorry! Tumse firse jhooth bola tha neeche. Haha!

Kavya : Kyaaa????

Veer ne iss baar apni luggage se kuch nikaala aur Kavya ke saamne uss bade se bakse ko saunp diya.

Kavya : P-Par aapne toh kaha tha ki-

Veer : Hehe! Mein bahar jau aur apni chhoti behan ke liye kuch na lau, aisa kabhi ho sakta hai kya?

Kavya : You-!!! I hate you so much!! Pehle nahi bata sakte the? Hmph!!

Kavya apni utskuta ke chalte bakse par se uski gift wrapping ko kholne lagi. Aur, idhar jald se Veer ne kapde pehen liye taaki Kavya ka dhyaan uske jism par se hatt jaaye. Kavya ne jaise hi gift khola toh woh hairat aur khushi ke maare chehek uthi.

Kavya : Ohhh my godddd!!!!

Veer : Kaisa laga?

Kavya : 'Garofano Products' ki gift pack kit??? Lotion, sunscreen, make-up kit, perfume, cologne, night cream, anti-aging cream... My god isme sab kuch hai. Ahhh! Y-Ye kaha se mili aapko??

Veer (smiles) : Tumse kaha hi tha maine ki business se related mujhe zaroori kaam tha waha. 'Garofano Products' hamari nayi brand 'Yarnia' ke saath collab karne waala hai jald hi.

Kavya (shocked) : Aap jhooth bol rahe ho.

Veer (smiles) : Ye kit khud 'Garofano products' ki owner ne mujhe di hai. Maine unse tumhare liye maangi thi. Dekho box ke andar acche se. Ek card me unka autograph bhi hai. Usme personal message bhi hai tumhare liye.

Kavya (shocked) : There's no wayyy-!!! Aap jhooth bol rahe ho!!!

Magar, Kavya ne jaise hi box ke andar dekha toh waqai usme ek card rakha hua tha jisme Garofano ke autograph ke saath saath ek personal message bhi tha uske liye. Aur, unme bas chand lines hi likhi hui thi. Kintu, jaise jaise Kavya message padhti gayi uska muh sikudta chala gaya.

'Dear, Kavya! Hello! This is 'Garofano' from the original 'Garofano products.' I hope this message finds you in great spirits. As I'm writing this message your brother, Veer is sitting right beside me. He's such a fine gentleman, isn't he? Fufu~ He asked me to write a personal message for you. Normally, I don't do such things. However, your brother is special. For him, this is nothing for me. Soon, 'Garofano products' will be collaborating with 'Yarnia.' It's good to help each other. I already asked Veer to become CEO of my company. It would have been much better, right? But he denied me. *sigh* Such is my luck. I will visit India soon. I'll meet him again then. Oh! Right! Thank you for being the loyal user of our products dear.

With heart felt gratitude,
Garofano.'

Jaise hi Kavya ne message padha uska muh dekhne layak tha. Poore message me baat toh Veer ki ho rakhi thi. Kaahe ka personal message. Aur, uss se bhi zyada dhyaan dene waali baat ye thi ki bhala Garofano uske bhai ke peeche kyu padi thi? Kavya ki chhati gyaan-indri use ahaat kar rahi thi.

Kavya : Y-Ye message... Ye message mere liye personal message tha?

Veer : Hmm? Haan! Kyu?

Kavya (smiles awkwardly) : Aap khud kyu nahi padhte?

Usne Veer ko woh thamaaya. Veer ne jaise hi woh padha usne apna haath sarr par de maara.

'Dafuq? What the hell, Violet!!! Ye kya likhi ho tum? You fucking-!!!'

Kavya : Padh liya? Ab bataiye ki woh aapko kaise jaanti hai? Uss 'Paisa lele' hotel me bhi woh aap ki madad ke liye aage aayi thi. Kab se aap jaante ho ek dusre ko? Itni badi company ki owner ke contact me aap kaise aaye.

Veer : Ah!! Ye lambi kahani hai, Kavya. Fir kabhi batau toh chalega?

Kavya : Hmph! Fine! Choonki, aap mere liye gift laaye ho isliye iss baar aapko maaf karti hu. Aur-

Woh aage kuch kehti ki tabhi-

*Ding Dong*

Darwaze ki ghanti baj uthi. Koi aaya tha.

Kavya : Oh no!!! Lagta hai sab wapas aa gaye. Bhaiya!! Aap toh gaye ab!!

Veer : Kya matlab??

Kavya : Matlab ye ki Arohi di, Tejal didi, Chhoti Tai ji sab ne milke aapki class lene ka plan bana rakha hai pehle se. Ki jab aap laut ke aaoge toh woh aapki class lengi. Mein gate kholne jaa rahi hu. Good luck bhaiya~ And, thank you for the gift. Ab mein aapki madad nahi kar paungi.

Kehte hue woh fudakte hue waha se bhaag nikli.

'Fucking hell...! Jiska darr tha wahi hua. But, I have to face them. Chal, Veer!'

Veer jaanta tha ki ye toh hona hi tha. Dil par haath rakh woh bhi apne kamre se neeche aa gaya. Aur, Kavya ne darwaza khol diya.

Ab ise kharab timing kahe ya fir Veer ki kharab qismat. Par, sab ke sab ikhatte ek hi samay par laute apne apne kaamo se fursat hoke laut aaye.

Woh dining table ki ek kursi par baitha hua tha jab Tej haatho me kuch shopping bags liye andar hall me ghusi. Uske theek peeche Arohi aur Bhavna bhi thi.

Unke andar aate hi Sonali aur Bhumika bhi andar aayi. Woh bhi apne apne kaamo se fursat ho chuki thi. Aur, ant me Shweta samet Ragini aur Suman bhi andar aa dhamki.

Sab ki nazre ek jhatke me dining table par baithe uss shaks par padi aur sabhi dang reh gayi.

"Veer-!!!?"

SUPERB AWESOME FANTASTIC LOVELY MIND BLOWING EXCELLENT AND INTERESTING UPDATE BHAI

 

[Awan Badshah]

Update - 181 ~ The Interrogation (2)​

Ab tak...

Woh dining table ki ek kursi par baitha hua tha jab Tej haatho me kuch shopping bags liye andar hall me ghusi. Uske theek peeche Arohi aur Bhavna bhi thi.

Unke andar aate hi Sonali aur Bhumika bhi andar aayi. Woh bhi apne apne kaamo se fursat ho chuki thi. Aur, ant me Shweta samet Ragini aur Suman bhi andar aa dhamki.

Sab ki nazre ek jhatke me dining table par baithe uss shaks par padi aur sabhi ke muh se yahi nikla.

"Veer-!!!?"

Ab aage...

Hall me maujood dining table ki kursi par Veer chinta-janak bhaav liye baitha hua tha. Raat ke 8:30 baj rahe the aur jagmagati lights se poora hall raushan tha. Uska dimag pehle se hi nayi-nayi tarqeebe banaane ke liye daud raha tha.

Lekin, dil ye jaan kar tezi se dhadakne laga ki use unn mahilaon se sawaalo ki bauchhaar ka saamna karna tha jo uske liye sabse zyada maayne rakhti thi.

Chand pal hi hue the ye sochte hue ki darwaze ki charmarahat ne use apne vicharo se baahar aane par majboor kar diya aur sabhi ke aagman ka vishesh sanket bhi de diya.

Tej apne tez qadmo ke saath dakhil hui. Toh, wahi theek uske peeche Arohi thi jo bareeki se ahista-ahista andar aayi. Aur, ant me thi Bhavna, ek shaant chehre ke saath, jise dekh Veer jaan gaya ki kinn bhavnao ka toofaan chhipa hua tha.

Teeno ke andar aate hi unki nazre baayi orr dur rakhi dining table par apne aap hi padi aur waha baithe shaks ko dekh unke muh khule ke khule reh gaye.

Sukh, krodh, bebasi, dard, peeda, inn tamaam anubhutiyo se woh teeno ek pal me hi guzar gayi.

Maa aur bete ki nazre aapas me takrayi aur hazaar shabd binn bole hi bayaa ho gaye. Bhavna ka chehra dekhne layak tha. Apne jigar ke tukde ko itne dino baad achanak se dekh... Aur, woh bhi sahi salamat dekh... Woh iss waqt kya mehsoos kar rahi thi ye keval ek maa ka dil hi samajh sakta tha.

Tej aur Arohi ke jazbaat bhi sirf aur sirf ek behan hi samajh sakti thi. Jis Bhai se itna lagaav ho, woh agar binn bataaye ghar se kahi chala jaaye, toh kya beetegi uss behan par? Ye anubhuti inn beetein dino unn dono ne mehsoos ki thi.

Kintu, parivar ka aagman yahi samapt nahi hua tha. Unke andar aane ke baad Bhumika aur Sonali bhi andar aayi. Dono hi hotel aur food truck se fursat ho chuki thi.

Aur, iss aagman ko virham dete hue aayi Ragini, Shweta aur Suman ki tigdi. Suman ne bheetar aake darwaza band kiya aur sabki tarah uski nigaahein bhi apne maalik ke upar tiki toh hontho par apne aap ek muskan bikhar gayi.

Ragini ki laalsa Veer ko dekhte hi jaag uthi. Itne dino se jinn armaano ko woh dabaane ki koshish kar rahi thi woh punah umadne lage. Aur, unn komal thar-tharate hontho se bas yahi nikla-

"V...Vee...r..."

Magar,

"Veeeeerrrr!!!!!!"

Tej ke zorr se pukaarne par Ragini ke ahista se bole gaye bol kahi dabb ke reh gaye.

Tej ki pukaar raahat, thoda gussa aur hatasha se mishrit thi. Woh tez qadmo se kamre ko paar karte hue aayi aur Veer ke charo orr apni baahein fekne hi waali thi ki tabhi-

"TEJ!!!"

Bhavna ki awaaz ne uske qadam wahi rok diye. Jaise use bhi kuch yaad aaya. Woh iss tarah se Veer ke prati harr waqt narmi nahi dikha sakti thi. Jin halato se woh sab guzre the uska zimmedar sirf Veer tha. Unke beech ye tay hua tha ki unme se koi bhi Veer ke prati narmi nahi dikhayega. Fir, woh bhala kaise apni baahein uske gale me daal sakti thi? Ye dhyaan aate hi Tej majboori me apne hontho ko kutarte hue do qadam peeche ho gayi.

Veer apni jagah se utha. Tej vivash thi. Iss baar woh sakhti se pesh aane waali thi. Magar, Veer ke mukhde ko dekh uska dil paseejne laga.

'N-Nahi! Tej!! Iss baar nahi! Iss baar tum narmi se pesh nahi aa sakti. L-Lekin, woh mera chhota bhai hai. Nahi!!! Sorry, Veer! Tumhari dii iss baar tumhe itni jaldi maaf nahi karegi. Y-You must console me!!'

Woh mann hi mann khud ko sakht karte hue aage kuch kehne hi waali thi ki itne me peeche se Shweta bhaagti hui chali aayi.

"Veeeeerr!!! Mere bacche-!!!"

Woh achanak se aayi aur Veer ke gale se lagte hue uske sarr ko pakad apne seene me chhipa li. Baal ko sehlaate, sarr ko choomte hue woh baakiyo ke ekdum hi vipreet harqat kar gayi.

Jab Tej ne ye dekha toh uska maatha thanak utha. Yaha woh sab Veer ke prati iss baar sakhti se pesh aane waale the taaki uske muh se jawab nikalwa sake aur yaha ye aurat saare kiye karaaye par paani fer ke chali gayi. Woh yaha khud ko accha dikha gayi, aur baakiyo ko bura.

Tej (frowns) : Aap-!!! Side hatiye aap! Hum sabko Veer se baat karni hai!!!

Shweta : Kya baat karni hai? Koi baat-vaat nahi karni tum logo ko! Mein sab jaanti hu! Mere bete ko dara dhamka ke uss se sawal jawab karne ka irada hai tum logo ka-!!

Tej (growls) : You-!!!

Bhumika (steps closer) : Mom!!

Shweta : Sahi hi toh kaha! Mera beta abhi aaya hai. Thak gaya hoga. Arre, tum logo ne ye tak na pucha ki usne theek se kuch khaaya ya nahi aur tum log uske peeche pad gayi? Hmph! Veer! Beta! Kab aaye tum?

Veer : J-Jii! Bas, thodi derr pehle!

Shweta ke liye iss se behtar mauka aur koi na tha. Woh jaanti thi ki sab ke sab Veer ke khilaf the aur iss baar uss se narmi se pesh nahi aane waale the. Aise me agar woh ekmaatra aurat bann jaaye jo uske prati suhanubhuti rakhe toh kya hoga? Zahir hai ki Veer ki bhavnaye uske prati aur bhi mazboot ho jayengi. Yahi soch ke usne apni chaal chal di.

Bhavna jo chup chaap peeche khadi thi. Usne apna purse sofe par rakha aur aage badhi.

Bhavna (glances) : Kavya!

Kavya : H-Huh? Jii Tai ji?

Bhavna : Veer ko tumne-

Kavya : Haan Tai ji! Bhaiya fresh up ho chuke hai. Maine chai bhi bana ke di thi unhe.

Bhavna (nods) : Hmm!

Maa aur bete ki nazre fir aapas me takrayi aur bina kuch kahe hi Veer ko aabhaas ho gaya ki uski maa uss se naraaz thi. Peeche khadi Ragini aur Arohi bhi Veer ko asahaay nazro se dekh rahi thi.

Veer : Maa, mein-

Bhavna : Sawaal jawaab baad me! Tumne khaana khaaya?

Veer : J-Ji nahi! Aap sab ka wait kar raha tha.

Shweta : Dekha?? Khamakha mere bete ko bura banaane par tule ho tum log. Bechare ne abhi khana bhi nahi khaaya. Sirf hamare liye ruka tha. Aao, beta!

Bhavna : Tej!! Suman! Ragini!!!

Suman : Ji didi?

Tej : Hmm?

Ragini : ???

Bhavna : Sab ke liye dinner ki taiyaari karo. Pehle khaana khayenge. Baaki baatein uske baad...

Tej (nods) : Mmm!

Ragini : Ji!

Suman : Theek hai didi!

Suman ke sang Tej aur Ragini apne apne kapde badalne andar chali gayi. Lekin, jaane se pehle ek nazar uss par ferna na bhooli. Kehna toh woh bahut kuch chahti thi magar, tang mahaul hone ke chalte unhone apna muh na khola. Aur, unke theek baad Bhumika, Arohi, Shweta aur Bhavna bhi andar chali gayi.

Sonali jaate jaate Veer ke bagal se aayi aur rukte hue bas dheemi si awaaz me boli.

Sonali : Tumhari aaj shaamat aane waali hai.

Veer (sighs) : Lag raha hai dekh ke.

Sonali : Sab bahut gusse me hai aur naraz bhi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Jaanta hu!

Sonali : Dekhti hu tum kaise bachte ho aaj. *smiles*

Uske liye jaise aaj mazey ka din tha. Aaj pehli baar woh sabhi ko Veer ki class lete hue dekhne waali thi. Aise mauke baar-baar thodi aate the bhala.

Dekhte hi dekhte aakhir dinner bhi samapt ho gaya. Uss dauran kisi ke muh se ek shabd bhi nahi nikla siwaye Shweta ke, jo bade hi pyaar se apni mamta dikhate hue Veer ko khaana paros-paros ke khila rahi thi. Aur, ye dekh ke Tej ka gussa ubaal maarne laga.

Jald hi bhojan ke pashchat, sabhi punah dining table par virajman the. Veer ke theek saamne uski maa baithi hui thi aur unke bagal se Tej aur Arohi. Aur, akhir Bhavna ne bolna shuru kiya.

Bhavna : Ab jo jo mein, Arohi aur Tej puchengi, tum unka seedhe-seedhe jawab doge. Samajh gaye tum?

Veer : J-Ji!

Bhavna : Kidhar the tum!??

Veer : Mein...

Bhavna : Mein kuch puch rahi hu, Veer!

Veer (sighs) : China...!

Tej : China? Waha kya kar rahe the tum??

Veer : Mein... Mera udhar jaana zaroori tha dii.

Arohi (frowns) : Kyu??? Aise kaun se reasons the Veer jinke liye tumhara waha jaana zaroori tha?

Veer : Arohi di... Actually, do important reasons the. Mera jaana sach me zaroori tha.

Bhavna : Kya aap inn do kaarno ke baare me kuch bataane ka kasht karenge mere suputra ji???

Veer : Mom- I...

Bhavna : Jawab do!!!

Veer : Fine! Pehla... Pehla reason toh business se related hi tha. Aur, dusra...

Tej : Dusra?

Veer (sighs) : Dusra... Koi tha... Jise meri madad ki zaroorat thi.

Arohi (raises brows) : Kisey???

Veer : Hai ek vyakti!!!

Bhavna : Jo ki be-naam hai. Hai na?

Kavya : Pfft~ Ah-!! S-Sorry!

Veer (glances) : Mom...

Bhavna (sternly) : Uss vyakti ka naam!??

Veer (sighs) : Li Renshu!!

Tej : Li Renshu??? Ye kaun hai?

Veer : Ye... China ke 'Order' group ka Supreme Lord hai.

Arohi : Order??? Ye order kya hai!?? Aur, tumhara uss se kya lena dena?

Veer : Order China ka ek group hai jise Li Renshu naam ka aadmi run karta hai, dii. Ye group China ke welfare ke liye hi kaam karta hai.

Tej : Wo sab theek hai. Woh samajh aa gaya hume. Par, jaisa ki Arohi ne pucha... Tumhara uss group se kya lena dena!?

Veer : ...

Bhavna (frowns) : Jawab do!!! Tej kuch puch rahi hai.

Veer : Hmm! Usne... Usne mujhpe ek favor kiya tha. France me jab mein musibat me tha toh Li Renshu ne meri madad ki thi.

Arohi : How???

Veer : Woh tab wahi par tha aur... Mujhe mushqil me fasa dekh usne meri kaafi madad ki thi. Warna, mujhe France se wapas India aane me hi saalo lag jaate. Mein salakho ke peeche bhej diya jaata. So, he's like my benefactor.

Arohi : Aisi kya madad kardi usne jiske liye tumhe China jaana pad gaya?

Veer : Jab mein misunderstanding ka shikar hua tha toh... Police se dur rakhne me usne hi meri madad ki thi, dii. Usne mujhe apne personal helicopter tak ka... Access diya tha.

Veer ko yaha jhooth bolna hi pada. Woh helicopter toh Suhana ka tha. Na ki Renshu ka. Magar, kisi na kisi bahaane se Renshu ko picture me laana hi tha. Suhana, ek accha replacement thi uske liye.

Arohi : Toh tumhara kehna hai ki usne tumhari madad ki, tumpe favor kiya aur fir baad me tum uss favor ko repay karne ke liye China gaye?

Veer (nods) : Exactly!

Ek khamoshi chhaa gayi. Sab Veer ki baato ko pachaane me lage hue the ki itne me Sonali ke muh se kuch aisa nikla jo iss shaanti ko bhang kar gaya.

Sonali : Kahi tum kahaniyaan toh nahi bana rahe? Heh~

Veer (growls) : You freakin-!!!!

Arohi : Veer????

Tej : What??? Veer??? Tum humse jhooth bol rahe ho???

Veer : Noooo!!!! I'm not!!! Teju dii! Aap jaanti ho! Mein aapse jhooth nahi bol paata.

Tej ko fauran hi kuch dino pehle ki baatein yaad aa gayi. Veer ne uss se ye pehle bhi kaha tha. Woh uss se jhooth nahi bol paata. Kahi na kahi firse ek garm sa ehsaas uske andar janm liya.

Tej : Ahh! P-Par... Wait! T-Tum waqai sach keh rahe ho?

Veer : Believe me! Teju dii!!

Tej : Ahhh!! M-Mom-!!!

Bhavna : Meethi meethi baato me mat aao, Tej!!!

Tej : Huh?? P-Par... Par, mujhe lagta hai woh sach keh raha hai mom.

Arohi : It's his tactic Tejal didi. Uski aankhon ko dekh uski baato me mat bahiye. Be strict!

Tej : Right! Right!

Veer : Nahiii! Trust me! Aap sab... Mein waqai sach keh raha hu.

Bhavna : Hmm! Theek hai! Maan liya! Toh? Kya business deal thi aur iss Li Renshu ka kaun sa kaam karne gaye the tum?

Veer ne jaise hi dekha ki prashn aur bhi gehre hote jaa rahe hai toh woh duwidha me pad gaya.

'Agar, isi tarah ye sab sawal karti gayi toh-!!! No! I need to calm them down.'

Veer : Maa... Business me maine ek deal kari hai Li Renshu se. Imports ki deal hai. Abhi nahi bata sakta. Jab materials ek baar import ho jayenge toh aap sab khud dekh lena. Mein kuch bada karne ki soch raha hu. Rahi baat, woh kis pareshani me tha. Toh... Actually, ye radioactive mine se related tha.

Tej : Radioactive mine??? Ab ye kaha se beech me aa gayi?

Veer : Haan di! Order aur Legion do groups hai jo iss mine ke peeche lad rahe the. Mine par haq govt. ka tha magar, legion ke logo ne uss par qabza kar liya tha. Toh Order ki zimmedari thi ki Legion ke qabze se woh mine wapas le aur govt. ko saupe.

Bhavna : Isme tumhara kya kaam? Ye toh kisi yuddh jaisa sunayi pad raha hai. Maamla agar sarkar tak gaya hai toh vishay toh bahut gambheer tha. Bharat ke nagrik hone ke naate tumhara bhala kya role??

'Shit-!!! Did I go too much into the details? Shayad mujhe… Divya ko bhi include karna padega.’

Par, Divya ka khayal aate hi Veer ke badan me ek sihran daud gayi. Divya! Akhir, kya hua uske saath? Kaha thi woh? China me toh Garofano ne use saantvna de ke sambhal liya tha ki Divya sahi salamat hogi. Magar, itne dino se Divya ka koi ata-pata nahi tha. Zahir hai ki woh shaant nahi baith sakta tha.

Veer : Shit!!!

Ek chinta uske andar janm li aur woh apni jagah se uth khada hua. Ye dekh sabhi aashcharya ho uthe.

Bhavna : Veer???

Tej : K-Kya hua??

Kintu, jaise use turant hi apni paristhiti ka bodh hua. Woh apne emotions ko takeover karne nahi de sakta tha.

Veer : Ahh! Nothing!

Tej : Nothing?? You think we’ll believe that??

Veer : Nahi! Trust me! Bas… Kuch yaad aa gaya.

Arohi : Kya??

Veer : Pata chal jayega jald hi…!

Bhavna : Tumne abhi bhi mere sawaal ka jawaab nahi diya.

Veer : Right! *nods* Aapka kehna ekdum sahi hai, Maa! Ek bharteeya nagrik hone ke naate mujhe sach me waha koi permission nahi thi. Par, kya aap bhool gayi?

Bhavna : Hmm?

Veer : France me mein kaafi involved tha police aur baaki departments se. Also, aap Miss Divya se familiar nahi ho, right?

‘This is the right way… I cannot run anymore now.’

Tej : Miss Divya??? Who is she??

Veer : FBCC ki ek special agent. Also, former detective of the crime department in Las Vegas.

Bhavna (frowns) : Arohi!!!

Arohi (nods) : Jii Tai ji!

Na jaane Bhavna ne aisa kya ishara kiya par Bhavna ke uska naam pukaarte hi Arohi ne turant apna phone nikala aur internet par woh sab kuch dhundhne lag gayi. Ye dekhte hi Veer ke maathe par paseene ki boondein chhaa gayi. Aur, kuch derr baad woh haami bharte hue boli.

Arohi : Veer sahi keh raha hai, Tai ji! Las Vegas me crime department bhi hai aur ye FBCC bhi waqai me hai. New York me iska headquarter hai. Strange! Maine iska kabhi naam kyu nahi suna pehle? Ohhh! I see now! Ye abhi kuch saalo pehle hi khuli hai Tai ji!

Bhavna : Hmm!

Ragini : Umm… Mere… Mere khayal se ye sawal jawab bahut ho gaye hai. Veer sach keh raha hai. Woh humse bhala jhooth kyu bolega? Toh, kyu na hum ye sab yahi rok de?

Shweta (aage badhte hue) : Ekdum sahi kaha. Bahut hua ye natak. Tum log toh mere bete se aise pesh aa rahi ho jaise maano woh koi karodo ki chori kar ke aaya ho, ya maano kisi ka khoon kar diya ho.

‘Khoon’ ka zikr aate hi Veer apni jagah par halka sa thitur gaya aur uski ye harqat Arohi ki aankhon se bach ke na jaa saki.

Arohi (scrutinizes) : Why are you getting so uncomfortable?

Veer : Huh??? Nahi toh-?

Tej : Theek hai! Maan liya! Ab aage? Kaun hai woh Divya?

Veer : Miss Divya… Hmm! Las Vegas ki trip ke dauran meri mulaqat unse hui thi aur woh Miss Suhana ki bachpan ki dost hai. Miss Suhana ko aap sab jaante hi ho. Ye tab ki baat hai jab humara reunion nahi hua tha, dii!

Tej (murmurs) : This Suhana again…! Tsk!!

Arohi : So?

Veer : Wahi Miss Divya FBCC ke dwara bheji gayi thi China. Choonki, mein unse familiar tha aur Li Renshu se bhi toh mein iss ‘Order’ vs ‘Legion’ ke beech fass baitha. Mujhe Li Renshu ka favor chukana tha aur Miss Divya ne mera involvement asaan kar diya.

Arohi : Ye Miss Divya… Kya kisi tarah ka case solve kar rahi thi? Judging from her special agent profession she might-

Veer (nods) : That’s right! Woh ‘Order’ vs ‘Legion’ ke case ko solve karne ke liye FBCC dwara bheji gayi thi.

Tej : Aur, ye case kaise solve hua? Tumne kya kiya? Bhala tumhari kya-

Veer : I’m good at deducing things.

Bhavna : Hmm??

Veer : Maa iss baat ko acche se jaanti hongi. Aapko yaad hai Maa? Jab aap aur mein Egypt me mile the? Gaza ke pyramids ke inspection ke waqt? Aap artifact ki brushing kar usme se dhool saaf kar rahi thi aur maine aapko bataya tha ki asal me woh khopesh hathyar ka handle tha. Yaad aaya?

Bhavna Veer ke iss daav ki apeksha bilkul bhi nahi kar rahi thi. Ye sunte hi use wahi pal yaad aa gaya. Aur, na chaahte hue bhi woh stabdh hone par majboor ho gayi.

Bhavna (shocked) : H-Haan! M-Mujhe yaad hai. Par, ek minute… Mein aaj bhi ye hazam nahi kar paa rahi hu ki tumne wo kaise khoj nikaala? Ek archaeologist hone ke naate mein ye baat acche se jaanti hu ki kayi saalo ka tajurba aur paarkhi nazar rakhne waala insaan hi ye sab bata sakta hai. Bhala tumne kaise-? Arrey haan!! Yaad aaya. Tumne kaha tha ki tumhara koi master hai.

'Fuckkkk-!!!! Fass gaya!!!'

Veer : Ahaha! Maine aisa kaha tha?

Bhavna : Bilkul! Mujhe acche se yaad hai. Uske baad se toh mein jaise puchna hi bhool gayi. Batao! Akhir, kaun hai woh master?

Tej : Veer ka master???

Veer : D-Darasal, maa... Mera koi Master nahi. Mein bas... Mujhe bas pyramids ka deep knowledge hai. That's it. I'm sorry. Maine aapse waha par jhooth bola tha.

Bhavna (gasps) : Tum...!

Veer : I'm really sorry!!!

Tej : Meri toh ab kuch samajh hi nahi aa raha hai.

Arohi : Tumhare pass pyramids ka knowledge kaise aaya?

Veer : Mein bachpan se hi inke baare me padha karta tha.

Arohi (frowns) : Maine toh kabhi nahi dekha tumhe pyramids ke baare me padhte hue???

Kavya : Umm… Dekha toh maine bhi nahi hai… A-Ahh! S-Sorry bhaiya!

Bhavna (sternly) : Do largest pyramids kaun se hai?

‘Ohh Fuckkk!!! Pari??? Pari??? Hey-!!!! Pari???’

Bhavna ka sawal aate hi Veer hadbada utha. System ke dwara duniya ka gyaan praapt karne ke liye use Pari ki aavashyakta thi. Bina Pari ke woh ye sab jankari apne aap praapt nahi kar sakta tha.

Magar, jaise uski vinti sunn li gayi. Kyuki, turant hi uske mann me saari jankari haazir ho gayi. Aur, ye dekh Veer mann hi mann khush ho gaya. Iska matlab Pari sleep mode se baahar aa chuki thi. Woh bas kuch bol nahi rahi thi. Use Pari se maafi bhi maangni thi. Magar, abhi iss sthiti se baahar aana zyada zaroori tha filhal.

Veer : Do largest pyramids Giza ke hai - The Great Pyramid aur The Pyramid of Khafre.

Tej : That is indeed… correct!

Bhavna : Khufu ka pyramid complex… Nazletel-Samman village ke neeche jo dafan hai. Abhi tak uska poori tarah se excavation nahi hua hai. Lekin, deewaro ki jaanch hui hai. Woh kinn pattharo se bani hai??

Veer : Limestone!

Tej (surprised) : Huh!!!

Bhavna : Kaun tha jisne pyramid of Menkaure ko tabaah karne ki koshish ki thi?

Veer : Al-Aziz-Uthman!

Tej : W-Wow~

Kahi na kahi, jaise-jaise Veer sahi uttar de raha tha, Tej ka utsaah utna hi badhta jaa raha tha.

‘Another proof ki tum mere sage bhai ho Veer… Our interests are the same.’

Bhavna (flabbergasted) : Mujhe… Mujhe yakeen nahi hota.

Arohi (stunned) : I’m so confused… I… I just don’t know whether I should feel proud of you or just smack your head for hiding this from all of us for so long.

Kavya (nods) : Right! Right! Bhaiya! Agar, aapke paas itna knowledge hai toh aapke marks pehle itne gande kyu aate the???

Veer : Urgh-!!! Kavya-!!?

Kavya : Oops! S-Sorry! But, I'm proud of you!!! Always! Hehe!

Shweta : Bahut hua ye sab… Ab sab band karo!!! Veer, chalo-

Woh aage badhte hue aayi ki itne me Bhavna ne apna haath uthaate hue use wahi rukne ka ishara kar diya. Ye pehli baar tha jab Bhavna ne seedhe taur par kuch kehna chaaha tha.

Bhavna : Mere aur mere bete ke beech zaroori baat chal rahi hai. Jab tak poori baat khatam nahi ho jaati, tab tak koi bhi beech me dakhal-andazi nahi dega.

Na chaahte hue bhi Shweta ko apne qadam wahi thaamne pade. Uska nichla honth daanto tale gusse aur asahaay mehsoos karne ke kaaran dabb gaya. Jaise use yaad dilaya gaya ho ki ek asli maa aur sauteli maa me kitna antar hota hai.

Bhavna : Maan liya ki tum sach keh rahe ho. Par, beetein dino me ye ravaiyya kya tha? Tej, Arohi tumhe baar-baar message bhejti rahi. Maine bhi bheje, par tumhe 5 minute ka waqt nahi mila hume reply karne ka?

Veer : Maa... Jidhar mein tha. Udhar... Network issues the.

Bhavna : Aur, pichhle do din toh tumne call tak recieve nahi kiya.

Veer : I... I'm really sorry!!!

Bhavna ki nigahein uss par hi tiki hui thi. Jaise parakh rahi ho ki kya woh sach keh raha tha ya jhooth.

Arohi : Tumhare phone me photos toh hongi na? Uss jagah ki? Jaha tum ruke the?

Veer : Haan di! Zyada nahi... Par, kuch hai!

Usne jab apne phone me kuch tasveere Renshu ke ghar ki dikhayi toh Arohi ka sandeh thoda kam hua.

Arohi : Tai ji! Dekhiye! Kisi Chinese ghar jaisa hi lag raha hai. Ye photos kuch din purani hai. Iska matlab ye baat Veer sach keh raha hai. Ye clicked photos hi hai.

Photos ki pushti karne ke baad, iske pehle ki woh Veer ka phone use wapas kar paati Tej ne uske haath se phone chhina liya.

Tej : Zara, ek minute Arohi-!!!

Veer : Teju dii???

Tej fatafat uske contacts me gayi aur use kayi saare naam dikhayi diye. Jinme se do naam bahut pramukh the uski nazro me.

Tej (mutters) : Here it is... Suhana... Aur... Divya!!!

Veer : Umm... Dii?

Tej ne apne phone me woh numbers feed kiye aur wapas se uska phone use thama diya.

Tej (smiles) : Here, take it!!

Veer : Ugh-!! What did you do?

Tej (smiles) : Nothing!

Bhavna : Akhiri do sawal!

Veer : J-Jii!?

Bhavna : Agar tumhe waqai jaana tha toh tum hume sab kuch bata ke bhi toh jaa sakte the na? Kya yahi baatein tum hume pehle nahi bata sakte the? Kya hum paraaye hai?

Ragini (steps in) : Iss baat se mein bhi sehmat hu, Veer! Hum sab parivar hai. Tum hume agar sab kuch bata ke jaate toh itna bada bakheda khada hota hi nahi. Sab nishchint rehte tumhe lekar.

Suman : Na chaahte hue bhi... Mein sehmat hu iss baat se, Veer ji! Beetein dino sab kitna pareshan the aapko lekar ye baat yaha harr koi jaanta hai.

Bhumika (nods) : Sach me!!! Mujhe toh hotel me bhi tension hoti thi. Na tum mere messages ka jawab de rahe the aur na hi calls pick kar rahe the. Upar se Tejal ki haalat toh dekhne layak thi.

Tej (fumbles) : Wh-What do you mean???

Bhumika : Huh? Tumne apna huiya nahi dekha tha parso? Poore gaal aasuon se bheege hue the, kajal poora dhul ke gaalo se beh raha tha, baal ekdum bikhre, aur make-up-

Tej : Stop it!!!! Stooopppp!!!

Bhumika : Huhhh??

Arohi (nods) : It's true! Sab bahut zyada pareshan the. Mein bhi!!!

Veer : Arohi di...! Maa...! Teju dii! Mein bas isliye aap sab se kuch na kaha kyuki, mein aap sabko kisi bhi pareshani ya musibat me nahi-

Kintu, uska vaakya adhoora hi reh gaya jab Bhavna achanak hi uthi aur uska haath hawa ko cheerte hue uske gaal ki orr aaya. Akasmat hi Veer ki aankhein band ho gayi aur Tej samet sabhi ki saansein atak gayi.

Magar...

Kuch na hua. Veer ne jab aankhein khol dekha toh paaya ki uski maa ka haath theek uske gaal se chand inch dur hi ruka hua tha. Haath kaanp raha tha. Apni maa ko jaise hi usne dekha toh ek ajeeb sa bhaar use apne upar mehsoos hua. Bhavna ke honth thar-thara rahe the. Woh krodhit thi. Atyant hi... Aur, aaj pehli baar Veer ne apni maa ko oonchi awaaz me bolte hue suna.

Bhavna (yells) : Hum tumhare apne hai ya paraaye??

Veer : Apne...

Bhavna : Toh baatein apno se saajha ki jaati hai ya paraayo se???

Veer (looks down) : Apno se...

Bhavna : Kal ko mein ya Tej tumhe bina bataye kahi chale jaaye toh tumhe kaisa lagega???

Veer (glances) : Maa...

Bhavna (yells) : Kaisa lagega tumhe???

Bhavna ki oonchi awaaz iska pramaan tha ki woh kitni zyada gusse me thi. Use zyada taqleef Veer ke jaane se nahi thi, use chot pahuchi thi ki Veer ne use sach isliye na bataya kyuki woh bas unhe pareshani me nahi daalna chaahta tha. Kal ko agar Veer ke saath kuch anhoni ho jaati toh woh sab toh hamesha-hamesha ke liye andhere me hi reh jaate. Bhavna iss baat se krodhit thi.

Bhavna : Bolo-!!! Kaisa lagega tumhe???

Veer : Bura lagega-!!

Bhavna : TOH FIR!!???

Tej (concerned) : M-Mom-!! Shaant ho jaiye! It's... It's okay!!!

Bhavna : Ye jhooth bol raha hai, Tej!!!

Arohi : ???

Tej : Huh???

Ragini sahit Shweta sabhi aashcharya me Veer ki orr dekhi.

Veer : Maa!??

Bhavna : Kaho iss se ki khaaye meri kasam aur keh de ki ye mujhse kuch nahi chhipa raha.

Baat sunte hi Veer ki aankhein bhay ke maare fel gayi. Nahi! Kaise keh de? Kaise kha le jhoothi kasam? Aaj se pehle woh aisi duwidha me kabhi nahi fasa tha. Tej ne kuch na kaha. Woh bas apeksha bhari aankhein liye use dekhti rahi. Aur, sirf wahi nahi, baaki sab bhi use kisi tarah ki aas liye dekh rahe the. Jaise intezar kar rahe ho ki woh kasam khaaye.

Veer : Mein... Mein aapki kasam kha ke kehta hu, maa... Mein China me tha. Mein business aur Li Renshu ki madad karne hi gaya tha.

Bhavna : Maine kaha ki kasam khao aur kaho ki tum mujhse kuch nahi chhipa rahe. Ye nahi batao ki tum kaha the aur kya karne gaye the.

Veer hairat me apni maa ko dekha. Mahaul ekdum se tang ho chuka tha. Woh ye kasam hargiz nahi kha sakta tha. Woh jitna bata sakta tha usne ujagar kar diya tha. Iske aage... Kuch bhi batana unhe khatre me daalne jaisa tha.

Bhavna : Khao kasam-!!!!

Kintu, Veer ke muh se kuch na nikla. Aur, Tej, Arohi ki aankhein bhauchakki hone ke chalte fel ke reh gayi. Uski khamoshi par Bhavna ki aankhon se ek aasu ki boond uske gaal se behte hue neeche giri. Veer kasam nahi kha raha tha. Iska matlab-

Tej : T-Tum jhooth keh rahe the? Veer?

Veer : Dii, nahi!!!! Maine jo kaha hai sach kaha hai.

Maa ki aankhon me aasu dekhte hi Veer ka dil andar hi andar chot khaa ke reh gaya. Jee michlane laga, aur bebasi use andar se khaane lagi.

Bhavna : Bhool jao use!!! Aur, sirf ye batao na ki tum kuch chhipa nahi rahe ho!!!

Arohi : Veer???

Veer : Mein... *looks down*

Arohi : I... I can't believe it!!!

Tej (frowns) : Iska matlab tum humse abhi bhi kuch chhipa rahe the???

Ragini : Veer!!! Veer jo kuch bhi hai sab bata do. Hum sab ek parivar hai. Agar, koi pareshani wali baat bhi hogi toh bhi hum sab milke uska hal dhundh hi lenge. Lekin, agar tum isi tarah khamosh rahe toh... Sab ko aur bura mehsoos hoga.

Arohi : Veer-!!! Say something!!

Shweta : Bol de mere bacche! Warna ye aise hi tujhe tang karti rahengi. Jo kuch bhi hai, sab saamne bol de. Mein hu na... Kuch nahi hoga. Tum bolo khaali. Baaki, mein dekh lungi.

Veer ne apni nazre upar kar apni maa ko dekha. Aur, fir baari-baari baaki sabhi ko. Lekin, woh jaanta tha ki uska nirnay kya tha.

Veer : I'm sorry-!! I... I can't....!!!

Aur, uske jawab ne uske iraade spasht kar diye. Bhavna ne ahista se apne gaal pe haath mal aasu pochhe aur fir sakht awaaz me boli.

Bhavna : Toh theek hai! Agar, tum nahi batana chaahte... Theek hai! Koi bhi tumhe force nahi karega. Par, humse jhooth bolne ki saza toh tumhe zaroor milegi. Mein bahut narmi se pesh aati thi ab tak. Lekin, shayad ab tum meri uss narmi ke layak nahi.

Veer : Maa...

Bhavna : Tej!!! Iss se keh do ki ye aaj se ek hafte ke liye apne kamre me nahi, upar chhat par soyega!!!

Arohi : Tai jii???

Kavya (gasps) : Ahh???

Tej (stunned) : M-Mom-!!???

Shweta : Tum... Tumhara dimag toh theek hai??? Ye kya keh rahi ho tum?

Bhumika : U-Upar terrace pe??? P-Par-

Suman (frowns) : Didi! December ka mahina hai. Raat me thand badh jaati hai. Upar chhat pe Veer ji kaise so sakte hai?

Bhavna : Agar ye humse baat chhipane me samarth hai. Toh, upar sona uske liye kuch nahi, Suman!

Suman : Didi! Aap kathor rahiye... Lekin, patthar dil nahi. Thand se agar Veer ji ki tabiyat kharab ho gayi toh?

Sonali : H-Haan! Upar... Upar thand toh rehti hai. Mein kal kapde uthaane gayi thi raat me toh mujhe lagi thi.

Bhavna : Hum Mumbai me hai, Suman! Manali me nahi!

Tej : M-Mom-!! Fir bhi, y-ye kuch zyada nahi ho gaya? Mein bhi gussa hu uss se par-

Arohi : Exactly! Tai ji! Koi aur saza de dijiye!

Bhavna : Bilkul nahi! Ye sirf aur sirf ek chaadar leke jayega. Aur, kuch nahi!

Tej (with concern) : Mom!!!

Bhumika : Sirf ek chaadar??

Kavya : Ah! Cushion bhi nahi??

Shweta : Tum kya kar rahi ho ye? Mere bete ko...

Bhavna : Bete ke saath kab sakhti se pesh aana chahiye, ye bhi ek maa ko aana chahiye.

Shweta (glares) : Tum...!

Arohi : Tai ji, ek baar fir soch lijiye.

Kavya : Haan, chhoti tai! Bhaiya, upar nahi reh payenge. Agar, aisa hi hai toh mein bhi unke saath upar jaungi. Mein bhi unke saath soungi.

Tej : Haan! M-Mein bhi-

Arohi : Me too!

Ragini : Itna.. itna sakht hone ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Bhavna : Tum me se koi bhi upar nahi jayega. Veer!!! Khade rahoge ya mein hi upar jaa ke sou?

Veer : Nahi, maa...! Mein... mein jaata hu!

Tej : Veer-!!!!

Kavya : Par, bhaiya-

Shweta : Tumhara dimag toh thikaane par hai na? Tum use ek chaadar de ke upar sone ko bhej rahi ho?

Bhavna : Kyu? Kya galat hai isme? Kya kabhi bachpan me hum zameen par nahi soye? Hasht-pusht hai Veer toh...! Koi dikkat nahi honi chahiye use.

Shweta : Tumhara dimag sathiya gaya hai kya? Ye kaisi betuki baat kar rahi ho?

Bhavna : Mera nirnay spasht hai. Veer???

Veer : Ji!!!

Veer apni jagah se utha aur upar chup-chaap apne kamre ki orr chal diya. Idhar neeche sab use pukaarte rahe kintu, woh na ruka. Sab Bhavna ko samjhaate rahe magar, jaise Bhavna apne nirnay par atal thi.

Veer jaise hi sirf ek chaadar leke neeche aaya toh Tej aur bhi bhavuk ho uthi. Arohi aur Kavya ka bhi yahi haal tha. Yaha tak ki Bhumika aur kuch derr pehle uski taang kheechne waali Sonali ke chehre par bhi chinta saaf nazar aa rahi thi.

Ragini aur Suman bhi laakh koshisho ke baad bhi Bhavna ko manaane me asamarth rahi.

Bhavna ne dekha ki Veer ke haath me ek hi chaadar thi. Woh kuch na boli. Veer aage badha aur darwaze ki orr jab woh badhne laga toh Tej aur Kavya dono aur bhi bechain ho uthi.

Tej : Mom, rok lijiye use. Ek chaadar ke saath kaise soyega woh? Terrace ki zameen kitni hard hai... Kaise laitega woh? Peeth dard karne lagegi uski... Aur, upar se thand...!

Kavya : Tai ji!!! Bhaiya upar soyenge toh... Raat me unhe agar koi keeda kaat liya toh?? Agar, soojan aa gayi toh?? Ahhh! Bhaiya ko agar honth ya unki naak me kaat liya toh??? Bhaiya kitne gande lagenge...

Arohi : Hum... Hum Veer ko zameen pe hi sula denge, Tai ji. Magar, use upar mat bhejiye. Yahi hall me neeche soya karega woh.

Tej : H-Haan! Ye saza theek rahegi. M-Mom-!!

Bhavna : Maine keh diya na ek baar? Dobara mujhe bolna na pade!!!

Tej : Mom aap...

Idhar Veer ne darwaza khola aur woh upar jaane laga toh uski behne vyakul ho uthi. Sab baari-baari guhaar lagaati rahi lekin, Bhavna ne toh jaise aaj thaan liya tha. Shweta ki bhi ek na chali. Janm dene waali Maa ke aage woh fir haar gayi.

Kavya bechari toh rone hi lagi. Kuch derr pehle sab kitna accha tha. Uske bhaiya laut aaye the. Uske liye tohfe bhi laaye the. Aur, ab uske saath aisa vyavhar ho raha tha. Use bhavuk hone me derr na lagi.

Kavya : Aap... *sniff* Aap bahut gandi ho, Tai ji!!

Bhavna : ???

Kavya : Aapko pata bhi hai? *sniff* Bhaiya aap sab ke liye waha se kitne saare gifts laaye hai?? Sab ke liye woh kuch na kuch leke aaye hai. *sniff* Woh aap sab ko dinner ke baad gifts dene waale the. *sniff* Par, aapne unke poore surprise par pani fer diya. *sniff*

Aur, ye baat pata lagte hi jaise sabhi ke andar glani paida ho gayi. Khaas kar Tej ke andar. Woh bahut gussa thi Veer se, beshaq. Magar, uski kalpana toh ye thi ki Veer ko woh do chaar baatein sunayegi, use thodi saza degi, uss se jawaab nikalwayegi, aur baad me use maaf kar degi.

Parantu, aisa kuch na hua. Ab woh khud ko galat samajh rahi thi. Uska chhota bhai uske liye tohfe laaya tha? Kitna excited raha hoga woh bhi sabhi ko gifts dene ke liye!? Par-

Tej : Aapne... Aapne ye theek nahi kiya, Mom!!!

Ek aasu ki boond uski aankhon se giri. Aur, woh tezz qadmo ke saath jhatpat waha se bhaagte hue apne kamre ki orr chali gayi.

Bhumika : Tejal-!!!

Arohi : Tejal didi-!!!

Arohi theek uske peeche use sambhalne ko bhaagi aur Kavya bhi unke peeche-peeche apni roti hui soorat liye chali gayi.

Shweta : Mil gaya chenn tumhe? Kaisi maa ho tum?? Agar, Veer meri kokh se paida hua hota toh mein-

Bhavna : *glances*

Shweta (mutters) : Par, badnaseeb mera-!! Hmph!

Badbadate hue woh bhi waha se andar chali gayi. Aur, uske peeche Bhumika bhi chal di. Magar, jaate-jaate Bhavna par ek sarsari nigah daalna nahi bhuli woh.

Suman bhi Sonali ke sang aage badhte hue aayi aur Bhavna ke bagal se khadi hoke boli.

Suman : Shayad iss baar... Aap galat thi, didi!

Bhavna : ???

Suman : Mamta me sakhti rakhna jayaz hai... Par, itni sakhti rakhna ki mamta ka hi naam-o-nishaan mit jaaye? Aaj mujhe aapka ye roop samajh nahi aaya.

Bhavna : Sakhti zaroori hai, Suman!

Suman : Maanti hu! Mein bhi daasi hone ke naate, daasi ke auhde ko lekar Sonali ke prati kabhi-kabhi bahut sakht ho jaati hu. Sonali bhi mere ravaiyye se nakhush rehti hogi. Isme koi sanshay nahi.

Apni Maa ki baat sunn Sonali ne apna sarr neeche jhuka liya.

Suman : Magar, mein jo karti hu, usme hamesha uska hit hi chhupa hota hai. Uska hit, hamare parivar ka hit...! Lekin, aaj aapne jo kiya... Mujhe usme kahi par bhi kisi ka bhi hit nazar nahi aaya.

Bhavna bas Suman ko dekhti reh gayi. Kuch keh na saki.

Suman : Baaki... Mein toh daasi hu. Aapke parivar ki seva karna hi mera dharam hai. Iss vishay me chaah ke bhi beech me nahi aa sakti. Meri haisiyat mujhe anumati nahi deti. Par, agar mein vachan baddh na hoti. Agar, seva karne ke liye baadhya na hoti, toh aaj maalik ko upar jaane nahi deti. Unhe haath se pakad ke yahi rakhti. Aur, koi bhi mujhe rok nahi paata. Aap bhi nahi-!! Ek baar shaant dimag se sochiyega ki kya aapne aaj jo kiya.... Woh sahi tha??? Khair... Shubh raatri, didi!

Aur, woh Sonali ko lete hue chali gayi. Reh gayi toh sirf Bhavna. Na jaane kya chal raha tha uske mann me.

***

Raat ke 11:30 baj rahe the jab Veer upar aaya. Terrace me waqai thand thi. Paara 18° tha. Thand toh thi magar, Veer ke liye ye koi zyada pareshani waali baat nahi thi. Usne apni ek chaadar zameen par bichhayi. Aur, lait gaya. Magar, sakth zameen uski peeth par gadne lagi. Ek system holder hone ke naate uske liye toh ye kuch nahi tha. Par, aam insaan yaha aise nahi lait sakta tha.

Aaj bade dino baad use itna akelapann sa mehsoos ho raha tha. Ava ke sang majboori me kara gaya woh vyavhar, Pari ki narazgi, parivar se behes aur uski behno aur maa ka uss se roothna. Kul milake uska din hi aaj kharab tha.

Apne andar woh bhi kitna dard liye hue tha, ye jaise kisi ne mehsoos kar liya. Aur, tabhi-

[H-Hey-!!]

'Huh? P-Pari-!!???'

Pari ki awaaz sunte hi woh uth ke baith gaya.

'P-Pari!!!'

[Master!!!]

'Huh???'

[???]

'Kaho, Pari!'

[Nahi! Aap kuch keh rahe the. Say it!]

'Nahi, pehle tum-!'

[Pehle aap!]

'Okay! Fine! *sighs* Pari!!! Mein... Mujhe maaf kar do, Pari!!'

[...]

'Mujhe maaf kar do! Mein khamakha tum pe bhadak utha. Mein overreact kar gaya. Jabki, mujhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha.'

[No!]

'???'

[I'm... I'm sorry, Master!]

'???'

[Mein aapko theek se samjha nahi paayi. Mujhe aapko pehle hi sab kuch bata dena chahiye tha. Mein aapke emotions ke saath kheli aur aapse sach chhipa ke rakhi. It was my fault.]

'Nahi! Tumne wahi kiya jo uss waqt tumhe sahi laga, Pari! Mein hi tha jo chhoti si baat ka batangad bana baitha.'

[Ye chhoti si baat nahi thi, Master. Aap hurt hue the. And, it was... It was because of me.]

'H-Haan, kyuki... Kyuki mujhe tum par poora bharosa tha, Pari.'

[Bharosa tha?]

'Bharosa hai! Mujhe ab bhi tum pe poora vishvas hai. Maaf karna, Pari! I... Mein jo nahi kehna chaahna tha woh bhi mere muh se nikal gaya. Shayad... Shayad jis se aap sach me lagaav rakhte ho uss se hi zyada ladayi karte ho. Shayad ye sach hai.'

[Aap ab bhi mujhpe vishvas rakhte ho?]

'Haan!'

[Iske baad bhi-!?]

'Haan!'

[You-]

'Kya???'

[Kuch nahi! I'm just... happy.]

'Sorry... Pari-!!!'

[No! I'm sorry!! Master!!!]

Veer mann hi mann muskuraya. Uske upar se ek bhaari bojh jaise kam ho gaya Pari se maafi maangte hi.

'You mean a lot to me, Pari! Isliye, jab mujhe pata chala ki tumne mujhe andhere me rakha, toh mein apne jazbato ko qaabu me nahi rakh paaya. Mera gussa apne aap foot pada. Mujhe maaf kardo-!!!'

[Mmm! It's okay, Master! Meri bhi galti thi. Trust dono side se banta hai. Mujhe bhi aapko pehle hi sab bata dena chahiye tha. Agar, bata deti toh ye sab hota hi nahi.]

'Hmm! It's okay! Leave it! Toh... Tumne mujhe maaf kar diya?'

[Kabka...]

Veer ke honth muskan me fel gaye.

[Aur, aapne?]

'Mein tumse naraaz hi nahi tha, Pari. Mein bas gussa tha. I can never hate you.'

[M-Master-!!!!]

Akhir kaar, dono me sulah ho hi gayi. Aur, ye toh hona hi tha. Dono ek dusre ko poora karte the. Na hi Pari ke bina Veer, Veer tha aur na hi uske bina Pari.

Pari se baatein karte hi raat ke kab 2 baj gaye use pata bhi na chala. Pari jaise aise samay me uski hamdard bann ke uske saath samay vyateet kar rahi thi. Aur, tabhi use chhat ke darwaze ki charmarahat sunayi di. Veer ke kaan awaaz sunte hi khade ho gaye.

Dekha toh paaya ki-

"Veer-!!!"

Veer : Huh???

Tej apne komal se shareer ke upar gadda aur razayi laade hue aa rahi thi.

Veer : Teju dii???

Tej : Urghhh! Baithe mat raho, meri madad karo!

Veer : Wait-!!!

Woh utha aur usne Tej ki peeth se gadda uthwa ke neeche rakha. Gadde ke neeche hote hi Tej haafte hue uss par baith gayi.

Veer : Aap yaha kya kar rahi ho??

Tej : Kya kar rahi ho se tumhara kya matlab hai? Can't you see? Mein tumhare liye gadda aur razayi laayi hu.

Veer : Par... Maa ne kaha tha na ki mere alawa aur koi nahi upar jayega!?

Tej : Mom ko mein dekh lungi! Par, tumhe mein iss tarah aise sone nahi de sakti. Pata nahi aaj kya ho gaya unhe achanak se. Anyways, mein unke faisle se agree nahi karti. Aur, mere rehte toh koi bhi tumhare saath badsalooki se pesh nahi aa sakta. Mom bhi nahi-!!!

Veer : Teju dii-!!!

Tej : Ab baithe kya ho? Chalo laito!

Veer : Aap bhi yahi so rahi hai?

Tej : Haan toh? Ye itna bada gadda kis liye leke aayi hu?

Veer : Teju di!

Tej : Hmm?

Veer (smiles) : Thank you!!

Woh akasmat aage badha aur Tej ke gale se lag gaya. Tej jo ab tak beparvah si chhavi banayi hui thi, Veer ke gale lagte hi uska saara natak dhara ka dhara reh gaya aur haya ki parat uske gaalo par chadh gayi.

Tej : Ahn~ K-Kya hua?

Veer : Aap bahut acchi ho!!

Tej (blushes) : R-Really? You mean it?

Veer : Of course!!!

Tej (blushes) : O-Okay! Par, iska matlab ye nahi hai ki maine tumhe poori tarah se maaf kar diya. Y-You must console me, later.

Veer (smiles) : Mmm~

Tej (blushes) : Thand hai... You know... Y-You... You can come closer.

Veer : Hmm? Aapko dikkat toh nahi?

Tej : N-No-! It's okay! *blushes* Come closer!

Veer : O-Okay!

Veer bhi thoda sa sharmata hua Tej ki orr sarka aur jaise hi woh uske qareeb aaya, Tej ne use apne seene se laga liya. Veer ka muh Tej ke urojo me jaa dhansa aur dono hi ek dusre ki garam saansein apne upar mehsoos kar paa rahe the.

Tej : Ab... *blushes* Thand nahi lagegi.

Razayi ke andar Veer ka haath jaise hi Tej ki kamar par gaya toh Tej thitur ke reh gayi. Lekin, sirf thand iska kaaran nahi thi.

Tej : Come closer... Mmm-!! It's okay!! *blushes* Mein hu na...! Koi ab kuch nahi kahega. It's okay... Baby...

Woh use pyaar se puchkarne lagi, jaise maano woh ek baccha ho. Shayad ye karna uski barso se khwaish thi. Aur, ahista-ahista uske honth Veer ke hontho ki orr apne aap hi badhne lage. Aur, qareeb aate hi-

*Chu*

Usne haule se Veer ke hontho ko chooma. Sharm ke maare uske gaalo ka tapmaan badhne laga. Magar, aaj woh yahi tak seemit thi. Kyuki, woh jaanti thi ki agar woh iske aage badhi toh neeche uske perro ke beech ek sailab aa jaane waala tha.

Aur, yuhi uss se lage hue woh kab neend ki waadiyo me chali gayi use pata hi na laga. Abhi ek ghanta hi hua tha mushqil se ki punah chhat ke darwaze ne aahat kari. Aur, iss baar koi aur nahi, swayam Bhavna hi thi.

Jaise hi usne dekha ki chhat par Veer ke sang Tej uss se lipat ke so rahi thi, uske hontho par muskaan apne aap bikhar gayi. Woh dheere se chalte hue unn dono ke nazdeek aayi. Jhukte hue baithi aur dono ko dekhne lagi. Pyaar se usne unn dono ke sarr par haath fera.

Bhavna (smiles) : Agar, jaag rahe ho toh ye sone ka naatak kyu kar rahe ho?

Veer ne apni palke upar kar apni maa ko dekha.

Veer : Agar, saza deni hi thi toh de deti, ye natak kyu kar rahi thi?

Bhavna bina muskuraye na reh saki.

Bhavna (smiles) : Tumhe pata chal gaya?

Veer (smiles) : Kisey pata nahi chalta?

Bhavna : Baaki kisi ko toh pata nahi chala ki mein natak kar rahi thi tumhe saza dete waqt.

Veer (smiles) : Aapki acting acchi thi.

Bhavna (smiles) : Ohh accha? Fir, tumhe kab pata chala?

Veer : Usi waqt jab aapne mujhe ye saza di. Ye saza... Aap asal me mujhe de hi nahi sakti.

Bhavna : Oh!?? Toh? Asal me kya de sakti hu?

Veer : Aap agar sach me mujhe saza de rahi hoti toh woh saza bhi aapki hoti. Na ki meri...

Bhavna : Woh kaise?

Veer : Aap mujhse kuch na kehti. Aap khaana khaana band kar deti. Mujhse baat karna band kar deti. Kuch aisa karti jo mujhe directly nahi, indirectly affect karta. Aur, sach me... Mere liye woh saza bahut badi hoti.

Bhavna : Itne acche se jaante ho apni maa ko???

Veer (smiles) : Agar, mein nahi jaanunga toh aur kaun jaanega?

Bhavna haule se muskurayi. Lekin, iss baar uski aankhon se ashru ki boond beh ke seedhe Veer ke gaal par giri. Aur, ye koi naatak nahi tha. Uski hatheli Veer ke gaal par aayi aur aasu ko pochhte hue uske gaal ko pyaar se sehlayi.

Bhavna : Bees saal baad tumhe paaya hai....! Mein tumhe dobaara nahi khona chaahti!!! Tum aur Tej... Meri duniya ho. Tum me se kisi ko bhi mere jeete jee kuch hua... Toh mein usi din marr jaungi.

Veer : M-Maa-!!!

Bhavna : Shhh!

Bhavna ne uske honth par ungli rakh use chup kara diya magar, Veer ne uske haath ko hataya.

Veer : Jab tak mein yaha hu... Mein aap pe... Teju dii pe... In fact iss ghar ke kisi bhi jann pe... Koi bhi aanch nahi aane dunga.

Bhavna (smiles) : Aur, khud pe?

Veer : !!???

Bhavna : Mujhe iski fiqr nahi hai ki mujhe kya hoga. Mujhe fiqr hai ki tumhe kya hoga? Maine abhi toh kaha.... Meri duniya... Tum dono ho... Mein khud nahi!

Veer : I...

Bhavna : Isliye, vaada karo... Kabhi bhi mujhe chorr ke nahi jaoge. Kabhi bhi nahi! Mere jeete jee toh bilkul bhi nahi!!!

Veer : ...

Bhavna : Vaada karo-!!!!

Veer (smiles) : Mein aapse vaada karta hu.

Bhavna (smiles) : Mmm!!!

Veer : Ab zara ek sawal ka jawab dijiye!

Bhavna : Hmm?

Veer : Aapka thappad mere gaal par lagne se pehle kyu rukk gaya tha??

Bhavna : ...

Veer : Bataiye!

Bhavna : Tumhe thappado ka shauq hai?

Veer : Baat palatiye mat. Jawab dijiye!

Bhavna : Mein...

Veer : Aap hichkicha gayi. Hai na?

Bhavna ne dheere se haami bhar sarr hilaya.

Veer (frowns) : Kyu???

Bhavna : Bas... Aise hi...

Veer : Ab khud kyu jhooth bol rahi ho???

Bhavna : Huh? Nahi toh-!?

Veer : Jaise aap mujhe dekh ke padh sakti hai, waise hi mein bhi aapko dekh ke padh sakta hu. Bataiye ab!

Bhavna : Mein...

Punah uski aankhein bheeg uthi.

Bhavna : Maine abhi bataya tumhe... Tumhe bees saal baad paaya hai...

Veer : Aur, iss wajah se aapko ye laga ki aap ka mujhpe poori tarah se haq nahi hai. Hai na?

Bhavna : *nods*

Veer : Kyu laga aisa?

Bhavna : Bees saal se tumhari parvarish maine nahi ki hai. Aaj bhi ye ghar mera nahi hai. Kehne ko maanti hu ki ye hum sabka ghar hai. Par, tum mere ghar ki chhaav me nahi. Ragini ne tumhe panah di thi. Aur, tab se sab iss ghar se judte gaye. Kya unn sab ka haq tumpe nahi jo meri gerr-haziri me tumhari dekh-bhaal kar rahi thi?? F-Fir kaise...? Kaise tum par haath utha du?? Kis haq se tum par haath uthau, ye jaante hue ki tum par baakiyo ka bhi haq hai?? Kaise??

Veer : Ek maa hone ke naate...

Bhavna : !!??

Veer : Aapne mujhe apni kokh se janm diya hai. *smiles* Uss se purana rishta koi ho sakta hai??? Sabse pehle toh aapka hi haq hai.

Bhavna : Par, mein bees saal se tumse dur bhi toh thi.

Veer : Aap majboori me dur thi. Jaan ke nahi.

Bhavna : Tum...

Veer : Aapka poora poora haq hai mujhpe. Aur, ahinda se maine agar aap me hich-kichihat dekhi. Toh, mein apna vaada bhool jaunga.

Bhavna : Nahiiii-!!!!

Veer : Toh???

Bhavna haule se muskurayi aur halke haath se usne Veer ke gaal par ek thappad maarte hue kaha.

Bhavna : Tum... Tum nahi sudhroge...! Nalayak ekdum...!

Veer : Mein aapka beta hu. *smiles*

Bhavna : Hmm! Hmm!

Aur, usne jhukte hue Veer ke maathe ko choom liya.

Bhavna : Ab ye batao ki kya jaadu kar diya hai apni Purvi maasi par?

Veer : Purvi maasi? Kyu? Kya hua unhe?

Bhavna : Do baar ghar se lauti hai woh. Keh rahi thi ki na hi Veer mera message dekh raha hai aur na hi phone utha raha hai. Kaha gayab ho gaya? Ghar kyu nahi aaya mere? Jab se use pata chala hai ki tum gayab ho tab se roz phone aata hai uska.

Veer : Umm... Wo bhi pareshan hongi shayad mere baare me?

Bhavna : Zaahir hai!!! Ab tum kisi din apni maasi se mil aana.

Veer : Sunday ko unhe yahi par bulaiyega. Mujhe unke haath ka khaana pasand hai. Din bhar yahi rahengi woh.

Bhavna (smiles) : Theek hai-!!!

Aur, dono maa bete chandni raat me yuhi baat karte rahe. Lekin, darwaaze ke theek peeche woh nahi jaante the ki kaun kaun unhe dekh raha tha.

Ragini se leke, Arohi, Kavya, Shweta sab ki sab aurtein chhat ki seedhiyo par khadi jhaak ke maa bete ko dekh rahi thi. Aur, sabhi ke hontho par muskan thi. Siwaye, Shweta ke.

Kavya : Mein jaanti thi... Chhoti tai itni buri nahi ho sakti.

Arohi : At the end... It went well-!

Bhumika : All's well that ends well.

Arohi (smiles) : Right!

Suman (smiles) : Pehli baar... Mein didi ko samajh na saki. Mujhe bhi chauka diya unhone.

Ragini : Ghar me khushiyaan hi acchi lagti hai. *smiles* Hai na?

Suman : Jii!

Woh sabhi yaha Veer ke liye hi chori chhipe aayi thi. Jaise Tej aayi thi. Magar, unhe yaha aake ye nazara dekhne ko milega ye kisi ne nahi socha tha.

Shweta hi ekmaatra thi jo khud ko dosh de rahi thi. Bhavna uss se kitne qadam aage thi ye use samajh aa gaya tha.

***

Subah hui, aur roz ki tarah Veer ke ghar me shor sharaba shuru ho gaya. Choonki, Veer laut chuka tha toh aurton me pehle se kahi zyada josh bhara hua tha.

Chhat se neeche aane ke baad, Veer aur Tej ek saath hi uske kamre me so gaye the. Jab woh neend se jaaga toh dekha ki Tej uske bagal se nahi thi.

Woh achanak hi kamre me aayi uska haath thaami aur use pakad ke neeche hall me le gayi.

Veer : K-Kya hua???

Tej : Arrey sote nahi raho pagal-!!! News check karo!!!

Veer : Hmm??

Veer ne jab TV par chal rahi khabar dekhi toh woh hairat me reh gaya. Desh ke news channel par saaf-saaf khabar chhapi thi.

"Mumbai- Thane me hua murder!! Mujrim lapata!"

Veer : Murder???

Tej (nods) : Aur, ye dusra hai!

Veer : Dusra???

Tej : Hmm! Thane ke pehle uss se thoda dur ek murder kuch din pehle hua tha.

Arohi jiske haath me remote tha woh peeche mud unhe dekh boli,

Arohi : Sirf itna hi nahi didi, ye news dekhiye.

Usne international news par jump kiya aur Veer ne jaise hi woh khabar padhi. Pata nahi kyu, par woh khabar use murder se bhi zyada khaufnak lagi.

"The unidentified missiles which destroyed the Royal Oaisis in Morocco have been identified."

"The missiles are believed to belong to - Spain!!!"

Arohi : Another world war???

Tej : Ye chal kya raha hai aaj kal???

Veer ka dimag kahi aur hi joojh raha tha.

'What the hell is going on...!?? Kahi... Rebecca-!!??'

Yesterday...
Mumbai...
Shopping mart, night - 9:36 PM

Bade se mart me ek cashier baitha hua tha aur entries kar raha tha jab ek naujavan ladka Mart ke andar pravesh kiya.

Cashier intezar kar raha tha uske samaan dene ka par jab ladke ne kuch bhi nahi diya toh usne upar sarr utha ke dekha.

Cashier : ????

Ladka (smiles) : I just want to have a chat with you.

Cashier ne dekha ki woh ladka muh par mask baandhe hue tha.

Cashier (frowns) : Who are you???

Ladka : Don't you know?? When two people have the same enemy... They are considered as friends. I'm your friend.

Cashier : Get out!!! I don't have time for this-

Ladka : Veer-!!!!

Naam sunte hi Cashier ki aankhein chaudi ho gayi.

Ladka : Don't you have some business with him? *grins* Take this.

Usne ek envelope use thamaya. Na jaane andar kya tha.

Cashier : Get the fuck outta here... I don't need anything... I...

Par, jaate-jaate ladke ne jo kaha use sunn cashier chuppi saadhne par majboor ho gaya.

Ladka : I hope you will comply... Mister... Dexter-!!!!!

[lovfrnd4u]

Mind blowing update

 

[Jasdil]

Nice update bro

 

[ship20]

excellent narrative ... though in the end of the episode little intimacy was felt ....
looking foresrd for an early update

 

[dododo]

Dobara padhne pe clear ho gaya ki Dexter Veer ka naam sunte hi chonka, yaani yeh wahi Dexter hai jisko Slogan ne hire kiya tha. Ab itni resourceful to keval Rebecca hi hai jisne na hi Dexter ko dhund nikala balki uski Veer se dushmani ke baare me bhi pata kar liya. Isase to lagta hai ki yeh ladka bhi wahi system hoder hai jo China me Le Renshu se lad raha tha aur isko Rebecca ne hi bheja hoga... Just guessing...

 

[Fuckingkiller23]

Nice update waiting for next
