Update - 02

​

Inspector dushyant varma apne muh bole hawaldaar bhanu ke sath us makaan ke saamne pahucha jiske darwaje ke paas hi mrs babita abhi abhi nazar aayi thi. Police inspector ke sath ek hawaldaar ko dekh kar unke chehre par sochne wale bhaav ubhre. Unhone saaf dekha ki wo dono uske kareeb hi aa rahe the. Kuch pal ke liye mrs babita ka man vichlit hua, ye soch kar ki ab ye kis kaam se yaha aa rahe hain.

Aas pados wale to waise bhi sab jaan chuke the. Haalaki sara ilzaam avinash par hi gaya tha aur police ne band bhi kar diya tha use magar unhe bhi pata tha ki chhuri chaahe kheere par gire ya kheera khud chhuri par gire magar dono situation me katna kheere ko hi padta hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki bhale hi avinash par ilzaam lage the aur wo police lockup me pahuch gaya tha magar iske baavjud samaaj ke log peeth peechhe un par sawaal ya ungli uthate hi honge.

"Kaisi hain mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne apni awaaz ko madhur banate huye mrs babita se kaha. Ye alag baat thi ki uske lahje me tanj ka bhaav bhi chhipa hua tha, bola____"Aisa lagta hai jaise ham par nazar padte hi aapka man aprasannata se bhar gaya hai.."

"Aisi koi baat nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne apne bhaavo ko chhupane ki koshish karte huye kaha____"Kahiye kaise aana hua aapka.?"
"Ham apne aane ka sabab." Inspector ne fir usi lahje me kaha____"Agar aapke ameerkhane ke andar chal kar bataye to mujhe nahi lagta ki isse aapko koi airaaz hoga." Kahne ke sath hi inspector ne hawaldaar bhanu ki taraf dekha aur fir bola____"Kya kahte ho pyare.?"

"Aapne bilkul sahi farmaya sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne apne daant faadte huye kaha. Udhar inspector ki baat par mrs babita ne kuch pal sochne ke baad un dono ko andar aane ka ishara kiya aur khud andar ki taraf chal padi.

Thodi hi der me inspector aur hawaldaar bhanu mrs babita ke pichhe pichhe andar pahuche. Makaan teen manjila tha aur mrs babita jo ki govt service me thi aur vidhwa bhi thi unhone ghar ko achhe se maintain kiya hua tha. Unka beta out of india rahta tha aur wahi service karta tha jabki bahu komal apni saas ke sath hi rahti thi. Komal ki shadi huye abhi do saal hi huye the magar abhi tak koi aulaad na huyi thi. Khair mrs babita ne inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar ko sofe par baithne ka ishara kiya to wo dono hi baith gaye.

"Kya lena pasand karenge inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne namrata se puchha_____"Chaay ya cold drink.?"
"Aapki marzi babita ji." Inspector ne kaha___"Hame to jo mil jayega ham le lenge."

Inspector ki baat par jaha hawaldaar muskura utha wahi mrs babita ne apni bahu komal ko awaaz de kar do cold drink lane ko kaha aur khud saamne wale sofe par baith gayi. Kuch aupchaarik baato ke bich hi komal tray liye aayi aur center table par rakh diya. Tray me cold drink se bhare kaanch ke do glass the jinhe inspector aur hawaldaar ne baari baari se utha liya. Udhar tray rakhne ke baad komal bhi apni saas ke bagal se wahi baith gayi.

"Ab bataiye inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne inspector ki taraf dekhte huye kaha____"Yaha aane ka kast kis liye kiya aapne.?"
"Waaah maza aa gaya mrs babita ji. Sach me ab andar kuch thandi thandi feeling aa rahi hai." Inspector ne aadha glass cold drink pine ke baad kaha____"Kya lagta hai aapko...by the way.?"

"Kya matlab.?" Mrs babita ke maathe par shikan ubhar aayi.
"Yahi ki hamne yaha aane ka itna bada kast kyo kiya hoga.?" Inspector ne ajeeb bhaav se kaha___"Waise itna to aap bhi samajhti hi hongi ki ham yaha aapse sirf hello haye karne to aaye nahi honge to fir bataiye kya lagta hai aapko.?"

"Mujhe nahi pata." Mrs babita ko inspector ka ye sawaal aur uska lahja zara bhi pasand nahi aaya tha. Fir bhi apne andar ke bhaavo ko chehre par ujaagar hone se bachate huye namrata se kaha____"Aap khud hi bata de to meharbaani hogi."

"Meharbaani to ham zarur karenge mrs babuta ji magar." Inspector ne khaas andaaz se kaha___"Magar shart ye hai ki badle me aapko bhi ham par meharbaani karni hogi."

"Main bhala aap par kya meharbaani karugi.?" Mrs babita ne chaunkte huye kaha____"Dekhiye saaf saaf kahiye jo bhi kahna hai aapko. Yu baato ko gol gol ghuma kar baat mat kijiye mujhse."

"Thik hai jaisi aapki marzi." Inspector ne kandhe uchkaate huye kaha____"Jaha tak mera khayaal hai to aapne ab tak apne us kirayedaar ko yaha se futaas ki goli de di hogi, ye kah kar ki aise insaan ko ab aap apne ghar ke aas paas bhi dekhna pasand nahi karengi aur wo bechara futaas ki goli kha kar yaha se nikal bhi liya hoga. Marta kya na karta waali haalat jo thi uski. Agar nahi jata to fir se aapke dwara lockup me pahuch jata. Maine thik farmaya na mrs babita ji.?"

"Main us neech aadmi ke bare me baat nahi karna chaahti inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne is baar zara teekhe lahje me kaha____"Aur behtar hoga ki aap bhi uske bare me mujhse koi baat na kare."

"Kaise na kare mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne jaise aah si bhari____"Der se hi sahi magar hame ye bhi samajh aaya ki itna maar khane ke baad bhi wo namuraad ye kyo nahi kabool kar raha tha ki us par jo aarop aap logo ne lagaye the wo 100% sach hai.?"

"Kahna kya chaahte hain aap.?" Mrs babita ki peshaani par bal pada, boli____"Kya ab aap ye soch rahe hain ki wo neech insaan begunaah tha aur hamne us par bewajah jhutha ilzaam lagaya.? Aisa sochna bhi mat inspector sahab. Ham koi aire gaire pariwar se nahi hain. Ye ijjatdaar logo ka ghar hai jo yu hi bewajah apni hi ijjat ko samaaj ke saamne uchhaal kar apna sukh chain nahi barbaad kar dega."

"Yahi to pench hai babita ji." Inspector ne aise muh banaya jaise us par koi bhaari musibat aa gayi ho aur wo usse behad aahat ho gaya ho, bola____"Aap kahti hain ki usne aapke yaha chori ki aur aapki bahu komal ji ke sath zor zabardasti bhi ki jabki wo namuraad hamare dwara di gayi itni yaatnaao ke baad bhi yahi raag alaapta raha ki usne kuch bhi nahi kiya. Yaani ki na to usne chori ki aur na hi usne komal ji ke sath koi zor zabardasti ki hai. Maar se to bhoot bhi darte hain babita ji. Police ki maar se achhe achhe apna muh faad dete hain aur aisa bhi hota hai ki jo log jurm nahi bhi kiye hote wo bhi maar ke dar se bolne lagte hain ki haan unhone fala jurm kiya hai. Magar wo namuraad maar khata raha...magar us kambakht ne pal bhar ke liye bhi ye kabool nahi kiya ki usne koi galat kaam kiya tha. Mana ki use saza mili aur usne puri saza kaat li. Yaha tak ki aaj wo apni saza kaat ke bari bhi ho gaya magar hamare saamne sawaal to chhod gaya na ki jab usne kuch nahi kiya to kisne kiya.? Aapke yaha kisne chori ki aur komal ji ke sath kisne zor zabardasti ki aur kisne use fasaya.?"

"Ohh to matlab agar us neech aadmi ne apna jurm kabool nahi kiya to." Mrs babita bol padi___"Ab aap ye kah rahe hain ki hamne use jhuth muth ka ilzaam laga kar aapke hawale kiya tha.?"

"Maine aisa kab kaha babita ji.?" Inspector ne apne kandho ko uchkaate huye kaha____"Main to wo bata raha hu aapko jo hua hai aur jo kuch hone ke baad ab samajh aa raha hai. Maan lijiye ki aap apni jagah sahi hain aur aapke ilzaam bhi apni jagah sahi hain...usi tarah ye bhi maan lijiye ki wo avinash bhi apni jagah sahi hai to sawaal ye hai ki aisi ghinauni waardaat ko anjaam kisne diya.? Aapko apni badnaami kara ke kya mil gaya aur use bhi apni badnaami aur durgati kara ke aur to aur saza kaat ke bhi kya mil gaya.?"

"Aap na jane kya kya anaap shanaap bole ja rahe hain inspector sahab." Sahsa is baar mrs babita ki bahu komal teekhe lahje me bol padi____"Jab ki sachchaayi ye hai ki us kamine ne meri aalmaari se paise aur gahne jewar churaye aur mere sath zor zabardasti kar ke meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki thi aur ye baat main bewajah apni aur apne pariwar ki ijjat uchhalne ke uddesya se nahi kah rahi hu balki ye hakikat hai aur meri saasu maa is baat ko achhi tarah jaanti hain. Us raat jab wo kameena mere sath zor zabardasti kar raha tha tab maine shor machaya tha aur meri cheekhe sun kar meri saasu maa apne kamre se bhaagte huye mere kamre me aayi thi aur unhone apni aankho se sab kuch dekha tha. Ab aap bataiye kya main aur meri saasu maa jhooth muth ka uske upar ilzaam lagaayi thi. Us kameene ka kya bigad gaya jabki ham to pure samaaj me badnaam ho ke rah gaye. Kya ye sab bhi jhooth hai.?"

Komal ki baato se kuch der ke liye waha par maano khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector bade gaur se uski baate sun raha tha aur uske chehre par ubharte bhaavo ko read kar raha tha. Use kahi se bhi ek pal ke liye bhi mahsoos nahi hua ki wo jhuth muth ki kahani gadh rahi hai. Uske chehre ke bhaav aur uske aanshu saaf saaf bata rahe the ki wo sach kah rahi thi. Inspector ko samajh na aaya ki wo in sab baato par kya faisla kare.

"Ek kaam kijiye komal ji." Inspector ne gahri saans lene ke baad komal se kaha____"Aap apne tarike se mujhe puri kahani bataiye."
"Ye koi mazaak hai kya inspector sahab.?" Mrs babita ne narazgi se kaha____"Ya ye koi dilchasp kissa hai jise aap baar baar sun kar uska lutf uthana chaahte hain. Jabki maine khud shuruaat me hi aapko sab kuch bata diya tha."

"Aapne bataya tha to maine use giraftaar bhi to kiya tha mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kaha_____"Aur itna hi nahi uske sath waisa hi sulook kiya jaisa kisi mujrim ke sath kiya jata hai magar ab halaat badal gaye hain. Halaato ne mujhe ye sochne par majbur kar diya hai ki usne apne jurm ka ikbaal kyo nahi kiya.? Police ki itni dardnaak maar aur maheeno ki kaid sahna usne gawara kar liya magar wo kabool nahi kiya jiske liye use itna kuch bhogna pada. Aakhir kyo babita ji.? Chaliye maan lete hain ki wo koi ziddi nature ka tha ya koi uski majburi rahi hogi magar sawaal to hai na ki aisi kya majburi thi.? Jab tak in sawaalo ka sahi sahi jawaab nahi milega tab tak na mujhe chain milega aur na hi aapko.?"

"Hame kyo chain nahi milega inspector.?" Mrs babita ki aankhe faili____"Waise thik hi kaha aapne. Chain waakayi me nahi milega hame. Jis tarah ka apraadh usne kiya tha uske liye ye saza bahut hi kam rahi. Mera bas chalta to goli maar deti use. Tabhi shayad chain milta hame."

"Nazariye ki baat hai babita ji." Inspector ne halki muskaan ke sath kaha_____"Zara ek baar is nazariye se sochiye ki goli maarne ke baad jab aapko pata chalta ki usne to waisa koi apraadh kiya hi nahi tha jiske liye aapne use goli maar di tab kya aap use waapas zinda kar deti.? Hargiz nahi...tab aap kuch nahi kar paati balki hota ye ki ek begunaah ki hatya ka bojh saari zindagi aapko chain se jeene nahi deta."

"Baato ka jaal bunne ka koi faayda nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne kaha_____"Kyo ki sachchaayi to hame pata hi hai ki kya hai. Iske pahle to aisi koi soch aapke man me nahi aayi thi magar ab uske dwara ikbaale jurm na kiye jane se aap jane kya kya soche ja rahe hain."

"Ham police wale hain babita ji." Inspector ne muskurate huye kaha____"Aur hame aisa bana diya jata hai ki ham do cheezo ke sabse zyada aadi ho jate hain. Ek shak karne ke aur dusre sochne ke. Khair chhodiye mujhe komal ji ke mukh se sunna hai ki kya hua tha us raat. Ya fir waha se bataiye jaha se avinash ki entry aapke ghar me huyi thi."

Inspector ki baat par komal ne apni saas mrs babita ki taraf dekha. Mrs babita se apni palke jhapka kar maano ijazat de di. Saas ki ijazat milne ke baad komal ne ek gahri saans li aur fir bolna shuru kiya.

<>•<>•<>

"Do maheene pahle wo hamare yaha kiraye se rahne aaya tha." Komal ne is tarah bolna shuru kiya maano uski aankho ke saamne do maheene pahle se ab tak ki koi video film chalne lagi ho, jise dekh dekh kar wo uska ek ek scene bata rahi ho, boli____"Mera to usse koi matlab rakhne ka sawaal hi nahi tha. Usne maa ji se hi baat ki thi kiraye se ek kamra lene ke liye. Is ghar me main aur saasu maa hi rahte hain. Maa ji ne usse uske bare me thodi bahut maalumaat ki aur use kiraye se ek kamra de diya jo ki second floor par tha. Upar ke floor me jane ke liye baahar wale gate ke andar se hi seedhiya thi jabki dusri seedhiya is taraf se bhi thi. Ye sach hai ki do chaar din me hi hame ye samajh aane laga tha ki ham jis ajnabi aur gair mard ke yaha rahne se thoda khud ko asahaj mahsoos karne lage the wo aisa waisa type ka nahi hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki wo bhale hi yaha rahta tha magar khud kisi se koi baat nahi karta tha. Subah aath baje wo apne kisi kaam se chala jata tha aur fir raat aath ya saadhe aath baje waapas aa kar upar apne kamre me chala jata tha. Ham dono isse sahaj to huye magar man me uske prati shak abhi bhi tha is liye ham uske yaha rahne par raat me satark rahti thi. Aise hi das din guzar gaye. Ek din maa ji ne mujhse kaha ki lagta hai ham bekaar me hi us bechare par shak kar rahe hain jabki usme aisi waisi to koi baat nazar nahi aa rahi. Khair agle din maa ji ne subah hi usse baat ki aur kaha ki aaj ghar me puja hai to wo raat ka khana hamare sath hi khaye. Usne maa ji ke prastaav ko sun kar pahle to ye kah kar thukra diya ki wo hamesha baahar hi khana khata hai aur kisi se na zyada baat karta hai aur na hi kisi se ghulna milna pasand karta hai. Uski is baat se maa ji ko laga wo bekaar me hi us par itne dino se shak kar rahi thi jabki in das dino me usne ek baar bhi ham dono saas bahu ko nazar utha kar nahi dekha tha. Khair maa ji ke zor dene par aakhir use maa ji ka khane ka prastaav accept karna hi pada."

Komal ne ekdam se bolna band kar diya to ek baar fir se waha par khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar bhanu bade gaur se uski baate sun rahe the. Jab komal ne bolna band kar diya to utsuktawas bhanu puch hi baitha ki aage kya hua.?

"Raat me wo hamesha ki tarah apne time par hi waapas aaya." Bhanu ke puchhne par komal ne lambi saans kheenchte huye kaha_____"Main aur saasu maa uske aane ka hi intzaar kar rahe the. Jab wo aaya to maa ji ne usse kaha ki wo fresh ho kar aaye, uske baad ham sab sath me hi khana khayege. Maa ji ki baat sun kar usne bas 'Ji' kaha aur upar apne kamre ki taraf chala gaya. Idhar maine sab kuch intjaam karke dining table par saja diya tha. Kareeb das minute baad wo upar se aaya to maa ji ne use dining table ke left side baithne ko kaha to wo chup chaap baith gaya. Maa ji front ki chair par baithi huyi thi aur main unke right side wali chair par baith gayi. Ek tarah se ab main us shakhs ke saamne hi thi. Khair maa ji ne khud apne hatho se uski thaali me khane ke alag alag byanjan parose. Jab sabki thaali me khana lag gaya to ham sabne khana shuru kiya. Main uski taraf nahi dekhna chaahti thi kyo ki ek to mujhe uncomfortable feel ho raha tha dusre main nahi chaahti thi ki uski taraf dekhne se wo ya maa ji mere bare me kuch alag tarah se sochne lage. Aakhir meri aur uski umar me zyada fark bhi to nahi tha, dusre main ek aisi shadi shuda aurat thi jiska pati pichhle ek saal se india ke baahar tha. Khair khane ke dauraan maa ji ne hi usse uske bare me thoda bahut normaly puchna shuru kiya. Jaise wo pahle kaha rahta tha, kya kaam karta tha aur uski apni family me kaun kaun hain. Maa ji ke sare sawaalo ko usne bas short me hi jawaab diya ki wo pahle kaha rahta tha aur kya kaam karta tha. Wo kisi company me mechanic tha. Family ke bare me usne yahi bataya tha ki uska is duniya me koi nahi hai." Komal saans lene ke liye ruki to ek baar fir se fiza me khamoshi chha gayi.

"Uska khamosh rahna kisi ko bhi ye sochne par majbur kar sakta tha ki uski khamoshi ke peechhe koi badi vajah zarur hai." Komal ne saans lene ke baad fir se bolna shuru kiya_____"Maa ji ko bhi use dekh kar yahi laga tha aur unhone usse is bare me puchha bhi magar usne yahi kaha ki uski khamoshi ke pichhe koi vajah nahi hai balki uska swabhaav hi aisa hai. Aisa nahi tha ki usme koi khaas baat nahi thi..balki wo aisa tha ki uski har baat khaas thi jo uske bare me sochne par majbur karti thi. Wo dikhne me gora chittha tha, kad kaathi achhi thi aur koi bhi ladki use dekh kar yahi sochti ki kaash usse uski shadi ho jaye. Uski khamoshi to thi hi uski khaas vajah aur uska kisi se bhi na ghulne milne ki baat bhi khaas hi thi. Bhala duniya me itna vichitra type ka insaan kaun hoga jo aise nature ke sath sahajta se logo ke bich rah pata ho.? Khair us raat wo khana kha kar chala gaya magar sath hi hamare andar se wo aakhiri asahjta bhi door kar gaya jo uske pahle shesh bachi thi. Is baat ka asar ye hua ki dusre din se maa ji aksar usse uska haal chaal puchne lagi. Is liye nahi ki unke andar ab uske prati koi shanka thi balki is liye ki wo ye samajhne lagi thi ki wo bhale hi chaahe selfish nature ka ho aur kisi se baat karna pasand na karta ho magar insaan bura nahi tha aur na hi uske dwara hame koi khatra tha. Shuruaat me maa ji ke dwara is tarah haal chaal puchhne par shayad use pareshani huyi thi magar fir wo bhi dhire dhire maa ji se baat cheet karne laga tha. Haan uski koshish yahi rahti thi ki uska saamna maa ji se ya mujhse na ho magar maa ji se uska saamna ho hi jata tha. Aise hi do maheene guzar gaye. In do maheeno me wo hamare ghar ke sadasya ki tarah ho gaya tha. Halaaki wo ab bhi ham logo se zyada baat nahi karta tha magar ab itna fark to aa hi gaya tha ki ham us par puri tarah bharosa karne lage the aur usse kisi tarah ka khatra hone ka sochte bhi nahi the. Maa ji ke kahne par wo hamre general kaam bhi kar diya karta tha. Sabse badi baat aur hairaani ki baat to ye thi ki agar kisi vajah se usse mera saamna hota tha aur use bolna padta tha to wo mujhe bhabhi maa kahta tha jabki uski aur meri umar me zyada fark nahi tha. Bhabhi bolna galat ya ajeeb nahi tha magar bhabhi maa bolna thoda ajeeb lagta tha magar maine ya maa ji ne use iske liye kabhi kuch nahi kaha." Komal ek baar fir se saans lene ke liye ruk gayi to inspector dushyant ne gahri saans li. Andaaz aisa tha jaise kuch kahne wala tha aur kaha bhi usne.

"Chaliye ye sab to thik hai komal ji." Inspector ne kaha____"Ab zara us raat ke bare me bataiye jis raat wo waardaat huyi thi."

"Mera kamra ground floor par hi maa ji ke kamre ke right side me tha." Komal ne batana shuru kiya____"Har roz ki tarah main aur maa ji apne apne kamre me soye huye the. Pichhle do din se meri tabiyat kuch kharaab thi is vajah se maa ji raat me kayi baar mujhe dekhne ke liye mere kamre me aati rahti thi, is vajah se main apne kamre ka darwaja andar se kundi laga kar band nahi karti thi. Dusri baat ab avinash ko kyo ki ham apne ghar ka sadasya hi maanne lage the to ham na to ab usse kisi tarah ka khatra mahsoos karte the aur na hi hame koi ummid thi ki wo aisa waisa kuch karega. Main gate ke paas se upar jane ke liye seedhiya thi aur main gate se andar ki taraf aane ke liye koi baadha bhi nahi thi kyo ki andar ki taraf ka raasta khula hi tha. Aapne dekha hi hoga ki main gate se andar aane ke baad fir koi darwaja nahi hai balki ek chhota sa baraamda hai uske baad ek chhota sa hall. Khair us raat main apne kamre me dawa kha ke soyi huyi thi. Mujhe nahi pata ki us wakt mere kamre me kaun aaya aur meri aalmaari khol kar uske andar ke locker se mere paise aur mere sare gahne jewar le gaya. Magar jab mujhe apne jism par kuch rengta hua feel hua to meri aankh khul gayi. Pahle to mujhe kuch samajh na aaya magar night bulb ki roshni me jaise hi meri nazar avinash par padi to main buri tarah dar gayi aur ghabra kar cheekhne hi wali thi ki usne bijli ki si tezi se apne ek hath ki hatheli kisi pressure cooker ke dhakkan ki tarah mere muh par rakh di aur dusre hath se zor de kar mujhe bed par majbuti se dhakel diya. Uski is harkat se meri ghigghi bandh gayi thi. Maare dahshat ke mera bura haal ho gaya tha. Mukh se goon goon ki awaaze nikal rahi thi aur chehra palak jhapakte hi paseene se tar batar ho gaya tha. Jabki wo kameena lagataar mere muh me apni hatheli dabaye mere upar chadhta hi chala ja raha tha. Kuch hi palo me usne apni dono taango se meri un taango ko daba liya jinhe chhatpatate huye main patke ja rahi thi aur fir wo jhuka aur mere pet ke paas sikudi saadi ko muh me daba kar alag karne laga. Idhar main apne dono hatho se uske baal nochne me lagi thi magar wo fir bhi nahi ruk raha tha. Bhay ke mare mera bura haal tha aur meri aankho se aanshu chhalak pade the. Main zor zor se cheekhna chaahti thi magar mera muh shakhti se uski hatheli ke niche daba hua tha. Jab wo kisi bhi tarah se mere zor dene par na ruka to maine uske baalo ko mutthi me pakad kar puri taakat se kheecha jisse uski pakad dheeli pad gayi aur usne apne mukh se meri saadi ko chhod kar aur sir utha kar meri taraf dekha. Uski aankho me darindagi dekh kar meri cheekh nikal gayi. Mere muh se uski hatheli hat gayi thi is liye meri cheekh maa ji ke kaano tak pahuch gayi. Idhar main cheekhte huye maa ji ko pukaarti hi rahi. Kamre ke baahar se jaise hi usne maa ji ki awaaz suni to wo jaldi se mere upar se hat kar bed se niche utra aur darwaje ki taraf bhaga magar tabhi darwaza khula aur maa ji kamre me aa gayi aur usse takra gayi. Takkar shayad zor ki thi tabhi to maa ji pichhe darwaze se takra gayi thi magar iske baad bhi unhone saaf dekha ki wo avinash tha jo unse takra kar darwaze se baahar bhaga tha. Idhar uske bhaagte hi main bhi bed se niche aa kar rote huye maa ji se kahne lagi thi ki us kameene ne meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki hai. Bad-hawaashi ki haalat me maa ji ne mujhe kisi tarah samhala aur mujhe kamre me hi rukne ka bol kar ye kahte huye avinash ke kamre ki taraf teji se gayi ki uski himmat kaise huyi meri bahu ke sath aisi ghatiya harkat karne ki. Abhi police ke hawale karti hu use."

Komal ek baar fir se chup huyi to khamoshi chha gayi. Idhar inspector dushyant komal ki saari baato ke bare me sochne laga tha magar fir jald hi usne komal ki taraf dekhte huye pucha____"Uske baad kya hua.?"

"Apni bahu ke sath uske dwara ki gayi is harkat se main gusse se paagal ho gayi thi." Inspector ke puchhne par komal ki jagah jawaab dene ki kamaan jaise mrs babita ne samhaal li, boli____"Use maine apne bete ki tarah samjha aur use apne ghar ka ek sadasya mana magar usne mere bharose ka khoon kiya aur mere ghar ki ijjat par hath dala tha. Is liye gusse se paglaayi huyi jab main uske piche teji se jate hue uske kamre ke darwaje par pahuchi to dekha darwaja band tha. Maine gusse se kamre ke darwaje ko dhakka diya to wo teji se khula aur dono taraf ki diwaaro se takraya. Kamre ke andar aa kar maine dekha kamre ke bicho beech wo kameena farsh par hi dusri taraf ko chehra kiye leta hua tha tha. Main ye dekh kar aur bhi gusse se pagla gayi ki kaise ye kameena meri bahu ke sath wo ghatiya harkat kar ke yaha chain se leta hua hai. Maine aav dekha na taav aage badh kar zor se ek laat uski peeth par maari to wo hadbada kar uth ke baith gaya. Uske sir ke baal waise hi bikhre huye the jaise meri bahu ne kheech kar bikhere the. Jaise hi uski nazar mujh par padi to wo buri tarah chaunka aur ghabra bhi gaya. Main itne gusse me thi ki jaise hi wo uth kar baitha main us par chadh daudi aur laat ghuso par rakh liya use. Wo kya kah raha tha main ye nahi sun rahi thi balki laat ghuso ke sath ye kahti ja rahi thi ki kameene maine tujhe apne bete ki tarah samjha aur apne ghar ka sadasya maana aur tune kya kiya.? Meri bahu aur apni bhabhi maa ki ijjat par hath dala. Abhi main ye sab usse kahti huyi us par laat ghuse barsa hi rahi thi ki tabhi meri bahu komal bhi waha aa gayi aur wo rote huye mujhe kheech kar kamre se baahar le jane lagi. Maine kamre se baahar aa kar kundi laga di, ye soch kar ki kahi wo bhaag na jaye yaha se. Apni bahu ke sath niche aa kar maine police station me aapko phone kar diya. Uske baad kya hua ye aapko pata hai."

"Haan pata hai mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kuch sochte huye gahri saans li fir bola____"Uske baad aapne police station me call karke hame bulaya. Main apne kuch police shipahiyo ko le kar aapke ghar aaya aur aapse uske bare me pucha to aapne mujhe bataya ki aapne use kamre ke andar baahar se darwaje ki kundi laga ke band kar rakha hai." Kahne ke sath hi inspector thodi der ke liye ruka.

"Mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai." Inspector ne kahi khoye huye se andaaz me kaha____"Ki aapke dwara bataye jane par main upar uske kamre me gaya aur dekha ki wo kamre me saamne wali diwaar se sata hua farsh par baitha tha. Ab kyo ki us wakt situation aisi thi ki aapki tarah main bhi use dekh kar aur ye soch kar gusse me aa gaya tha ki usne aapki bau ke sath aisi ghinauni harkat ki thi is liye us gusse me maine bhi use laat ghuso me dhar liya. Wo dard se karaha aur chillaya bhi. Puchne par jab usne ye kaha ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki so raha tha to us wakt ki situation ke anusaar maine use fir se do chaar thappad lagaya. Is beech mere sath aaye mere shipahiyo ne kamre ki talaashi li to uske bag se dher sare paise aur gahne jewar mile jinhe dekh kar aapne kaha ki ye paise aur gahne jewar to aapki bahu ke hain. Fir kya tha ek to waisi ghatiya harkat dusre chori ke us maamle ne uski achhi khaasi kutaayi karwane me koi kasar nahi chhodi. Ham use pakad kar seedha thaane le aaye aur fir thane par bhi uske sath wahi kissa."

"Hamare sahab ji ke dwara." Inspector saans lene ke liye ruka to bagal se baitha hawaldaar bhanu bich me bol pada_____"Itni kutaayi ke baad bhi wo kambakht yahi bolta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya aur ant tak yahi bolta raha. Aaj bhi jab wo riha ho ke ja raha tha to hamne usse puchha tha ki ab to bata de bhai kya tune wo sab kiya tha magar usne fiki muskaan ke sath yahi kaha ki wo zindagi bhar yahi kahega ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki wo begunaah tha aur use bewajah fasaya gaya tha."

"Riha hone ke baad bade se bada mujrim kanoon ki aankho me dekh kar muskurate huye kabhi kabhi ye kah jata hai." Inspector ne kaha_____"Ki gunaah usi ne kiya tha magar kanoon uska kuch nahi bigaad paya. Aap khud sochiye babita ji ki agar avinash riha hone ke baad kabool bhi kar leta to uska ham kya kar lete.? Kyo ki jis jurm ki use saza huyi thi us saza ko to wo kaat hi chuka tha. Ab aisa to hai nahi ki kanoon use baar baar ek baar kiye gaye jurm ke liye saza deta. Matlab saaf hai ki wo apni jagah sahi tha. Ab sawaal ye hai ki agar wo sahi hai to us raat jo kuch bhi hua wo kisne kiya.?"

Inspector ke chup hote hi waha par blood ki dhaar ki maanind sannata chha gaya. Mrs babita aur unki bahu komal ke chehre par kayi tarah ke bhaav aate jate nazar aa rahe the jinhe inspector badi baariki se read karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

"Khair chhodiye." Inspector dono saas bahu ko kuch na bolte dekh bol pada_____"Mujhe ek baar fir se us kamre ka muaayna karna hai jis kamre me wo rahta tha. Agar aapko koi aitraaz na ho to main us kamre me ja kar waha ka muaayna kar lu.?"

Inspector ke aisa kahne par mrs babita ne mook sahmati de di use. Sahmati milte hi inspector dushyant sofe se uth kar khada ho gaya. Uske khada hote hi hawaldaar bhanu bhi jhatke se khada ho gaya.

"Aap chaahe to hamare sath us kamre me chal sakti hain." Inspector ne mrs babita ki taraf dekhte huye kaha jis par mrs babita ne jane se mana kar diya.

Inspector dushyant apne hawaldaar ke sath upar us kamre me pahucha jis kamre me avinash rahta tha. Dushyant ne dekha ki kamra puri tarah se khaali tha. Koi bhi samaan ya wastu waha par nahi thi. Hoti bhi kaise..? Avinash ke paas apna jo samaan tha wo uske apne kapde aur kuch zaruri cheeze thi jo ek maamuli se bag me hi aa jati thi. Kamre ke farsh par wah bina kuch bichhaye hi sota tha is liye bed wagaira bhi nahi tha.

Kamre me ek khidki thi jo ki pichhe ki taraf thi aur usme lohe ki jaalinuma khidki lagi thi. Inspector ne kuch der kamre me idhar udhar dekha aur fir kamre se baahar aa gaya. Kamre ke baahar aa kar wo first floor par jane wali seedhiyo ki taraf aaya aur fir seedhiyo se upar chadhta chala gaya. Seedhi ke antim chhor par ek lohe ka darwaza tha jo ki is wakt andar se band tha. Dushyant ne darwaja khola aur bhanu ke sath chhat par aa gaya. Lambe chaude chhat par teen fit uchi boundary thi. Dushyant chaaro taraf ki boundary me ja ja kar achhe se muaayna karne laga. Wo boundary ke baahar bhi nazar daalta ja raha. Khaas kar us taraf jis taraf sadak thi. Kafi der tak wo yu hi jane kya kya check karta raha uske baad wo bhanu ke sath waapas niche aa gaya.

"Kamre ka muaayna kar liya aapne.?" Inspector ko waapas aaya dekh mrs babita ne kaha____"Waise kya aap batayege ki kis cheez ka muaayna kar rahe the aap.? Kahi aisa to nahi ki aapke dimaag me khayaal aaya ho ki us raat koi dusra insaan baahar se yaha aaya aur usne wo sab kiya aur fir apna sara kuch kiya dhara aapke kathit begunaah insaan avinash ke sir par daal kar gayab ho gaya.?"

"Kamaal hai." Inspector mrs babita ki baat par muskuraye bagair na rah saka, bola_____"Aapne to jaise mere dimaag ka operation hi kar diya. Aapko to police department me hona chahiye tha."

"Baate mat banaao inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne sapaat bhaav se kaha_____"Agar aapke dimaag me wahi khayaal aaya hai jiska ki maine zikra kiya hai to aapka khayaal sarasar galat hai. Kyo ki na main andhi thi aur na hi meri bahu. Ham dono ne saaf dekha tha ki wo avinash hi tha jisne wo sab kiya tha. Rahi baat uske kabool na karne ki to pench us me hai ham me nahi aur haan ab mujhe lagta hai ki aapko yaha se jana chahiye. Main nahi chaahti ki mere ghar me police walo ki itni der tak maujudgi mere liye aisi ho jaye jiski vajah se aas pados wale hamse nazre bhi milana pasand na kare."

"Mrs babita." Inspector dushyant ke chehre par naagwari bhare bhaav ubhre_____"Aap to aise kah rahi hain jaise police koi aisi cheez hai jise chhoot ki bimari hoti hai aur uske aapke yaha rahne se aapko bhi bimari lag jayegi. Main pure ijjat samman ke sath aapse baate kar raha hu magar aapka bartaav nihayat hi ghatiya kism ka hai. Aapke sath jo kuch bhi hua uske liye hamne use wahi saza dilwaayi jo aise apraadh ki hoti hai. Meri ek baat dhyaan se sun lijiye ki bhale hi ab wo case rafa dafa ho gaya hai magar main is baat ka pata laga ke rahuga ki jis insaan ke upar aapne sangeen arop laga kar use saza dilwaayi us insaan ne aakhir tak ye kyo kahta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya.?"

Inspector ka lahja eka ek shakht ho gaya tha. Ye dekh kar hawaldaar bhanu ne usse chalne ke liye kaha to wo dono saas bahu ko baari baari se dekh kar ghar se baahar ki taraf badhta chala gaya.

BEGUNAAH
Update - 01

​

"Ye le yaha sign kar" Police thane me Inspector Dushyant Varma ne apne policiya andaaz me ek aise shakhs ki taraf kalam badhate huye kaha jo abhi abhi lockup se nikala gaya tha aur ab inspector ke saamne table ke us paar aa kar khada hua tha.

Inspector ke kahne par us shakhs ne bina kuch bole usse pen liya aur table par rakhe register par apne halke halke kaampte hatho se sign kiya. Uske baad wo register par hi pen ko chhod kar ek nazar inspector ki taraf dekha aur fir nazre jhuka li.

"Sale ab dubara aise jurm me pakda gaya." Inspector ne teekhe lahje me kaha____"To is baar aisi aisi dhara laga ke andar karuga ki kabhi salaankho se baahar nahi aa payega."

"Bada dheeth hai sahab." Paas me hi khada ek hawaldaar inspector se mukhaatib ho kar bola____"Ek baar bhi isne apna gunaah qabool nahi kiya. Dekha tha na aapne. Maar kha kha kar adhmara ho gaya tha magar yahi bakta raha ki main begunaah hu. Apni puri zindagi me iske jaisa latkhor aur theeth aadmi nahi dekha maine."

"Ab yu khada kyo hai be.?" Inspector dushyant hawaldaar ki baat par dhyaan diye bina saamne khade us shakhs ko ghudakte huye chillaya____"Kya laat maar ke tujhe baahar bhagana padega.?"

Inspector ki baat sun kar us shakhs ne ek baar fir inspector ki taraf dekha aur fir hawaldaar par ek nazar daalte huye wo baahar ki taraf badh chala. Andaaz aisa tha jaise pairo me ya to menhdi lagi ho ya fir pairo me jaan hi na bachi ho. Waise ye sach to tha ki uske paisro me waisi jaan nahi thi jaise ki normal insaano ke pairo me hoti hai. Aakhir maheene bhar police ne uski achhi khaasi khatirdaari ki thi. Chehre par taav khaye huye nishaan abhi bhi saaf nazar aa rahe the uske.

Thaane se baahar aa kar usne idhar udhar nazre ghumaayi aur ek auto wale ko rok kar usne auto wale ko pata bataya aur auto me baith gaya. Sare raaste wo khamosh raha. Chehre par ek dard use buri tarah rula dene par amada nazar aa raha tha kintu usne jaise badi mushkil se apne andar ke jazbaato ko roka hua tha.

Kareeb pandrah minute baad auto ek makaan ke paas ruka. Us shakhs ne auto se utar kar driver ko paise diye aur fir palat kar us makaan ki taraf badha. Maddhyam size ki boundary par ek maddhyam size ka hi lohe ka gate laga hua tha jise usne khola. Andar aa kar usne makaan ke darwaje ke bagal se lagi door bell bajaayi. Thodi hi der me darwaja khula. Darwaja khulte hi shakhs ek kadam pichhe hat gaya.

"Tu...tum.?" Darwaje ke paas nazar aayi aurat ne us shakhs ko dekhte hi maano gusse me sulag uthi aur naagin ki tarah funkaarte huye boli____"Ab yaha kya lene aaye ho.? Nikal jaao yaha se. Mujhe aise kirayedaar ki koi zarurat nahi hai."

"M..meri baat to sun lo taayi." Shakhs ke hotho se bahut narm kintu dukh me duba swar ubhra____"Bas ek baar taayi. Bas ek baar meri baat sun lo."
"Mujhe tumhari koi bakwaas nahi sunni." Us aurat ne apni badi badi aankho ko aur bhi bada karte huye kaha____"Maine tumhara sara samaan kamre se nikaal diya hai. Use uthaao aur chalte bano yaha se. Agar ek pal ki bhi deri ki to police ko bula kar fir se band karwa dugi samjhe."

Shakhs ne ashaay bhaav se taayi ki taraf dekha. Uske andar ka dard maano ab uski bardaast se baahar hone wala tha magar fir bhi usne khud ko samhaala. Udhar wo taayi use hi ghoore ja rahi thi. Uske chehre ke bhaav bata rahe the ki wo us shakhs ko kachcha chaba lene ki hasrat rakhe huye thi.

"Ye...ye kya kah rahi ho taayi.?" Shakhs ne bhaari awaaz me kaha____"Main bhala is haal me kaha jaauga.? Itna jaldi kaha mujhe rahne ki jagah milegi.? Thik hai agar tum mujhe apne yaha ab nahi rahne dena chaahti to kam se kam ek do din ki mohlat to de do. Taaki main kahi aur rahne ke liye kiraye se kamra khoj lu."

"Do din to kya main ek pal ke liye bhi tumhe apne ghar me nahi rakhugi." Taayi ne sapaat lahje me shakhs ko ghoorte huye kaha____"Shukar manaao ki maine tumhara samaan ghar se baahar nahi fenk diya. Is liye ab apna samaan lo aur foot lo yaha se...aur haan agar tum apni koi safaayi dene ka irada rakhe huye ho to us irade ko apne paas hi rakho. Apne jeewan me pahli baar kisi gair par bharosa kiya tha maine aur uska sila tumne mujhe bahut achhe tarike se de diya hai."

"Bhagwan janta hai taayi" Shakhs ne rundhe huye gale se kaha_____"Ki maine kuch bhi nahi kiya. Mujhe nahi pata ki wo paise...wo gahne jewar mere kamre me kaha se aaye the.? Tum khud socho taayi ki agar main chor hota to kya wo paise aur gahne jewar apne kamre me rakhta.? Nahi taayi...balki main to wo sab le kar yaha se chup chaap nikal jata."

"Baat agar sirf itni hi hoti." Taayi ke chehre par sahsa nafrat ke bhaav numaya hote nazar aaye____"To main tumhe maaf bhi kar deti magar tumne meri bahu ke sath galat karne ki koshish ki...wo to shukar tha ki usne shor macha diya warna tum to meri bahu ki ijjat hi loot lete."

"Nahi taayi nahi." Shakhs ki aankhe jaise usse bagawat kar uthi. Aankho se chhalak kar aanshu uske kapolo tak bah aaye, bola____"Main aisa soch bhi nahi sakta unke bare me. Aap jaanti hain ki main unhe bhabhi maa kahta hu aur maanta bhi hu. Fir bhala kaise main unke sath aisa ghinauna kaam karne ka soch sakta hu.?"

"Neech insaan." Taayi maano gusse se aag babula ho gayi, boli____"Aisa kukarm karne ke baad bhi kahta hai ki tu aisa soch bhi nahi sakta.? Isse pahle ki mujhe aur bhi gussa aa jaye nikal ja yaha se aur kabhi apni manhoos shakal mat dikhana mujhe."

Taayi kahne ke sath hi palat kar andar ki taraf pair patakte huye chali gayi. Wo shakhs wahi par khada apne aanshu ponchhta raha. Abhi ek minute bhi na hua tha ki taayi fir se darwaje par nazar aayi magar is baar uske hath me ek bag bhi tha. Taayi ne ek jhatke se apne hath me liye bag ko shakhs ki taraf dhakel diya.

"Ye le pakad apna bag aur dafa ho ja yaha se." Taayi ne shakhs se kaha aur fir ek jhatke se darwaza band kar liya. Apne paas pade bag ko shakhs ne apni aanshu bhari aankho se dekha aur fir sir utha kar ek baar aasmaan ki taraf dekha. Jaise kah raha ho ki 'Bahut khoob'.

<>•<>•<>

Police thane me us shakhs ke jane ke baad abhi hawaldaar fir se kuch bolne hi wala tha ki inspector ne use chaay magwane ka hukum suna diya. Hukum ka paalan karte huye hawaldaar jaldi se baahar gaya aur thane ke saamne hi road ke us paar chaay ke thele ki taraf dekhte huye awaaz laga kar chaay bhejne ko bola. Chaay ka bol kar hawaldaar fauran hi andar aaya aur inspector ke saamne aa kar ajeeb andaaz se khada ho gaya.

"Pet me jo bhi hai baahar nikaal do bhanu pyare." Inspector ne ek nazar hawaldaar bhanu ki taraf dekhne ke baad kaha_____"Mujhe pata hai ki koi baat tumhare pet ka haajma kharaab karne par amada hai. Is liye jab tak tum use ugloge nahi tab tak tumhe chain nahi aayega."

"Aap kitne samajhdaar hain sahab." Bhanu ne apni batteesi halke se dikhate hue kaha____"Isi liye to har wakt aapki chhaya me rahta hu taaki thodi bahut samajhdaari mujh me bhi aa jaye."

"Maska lagane ki zarurat nahi hai pyare" Inspector ne file se nazar utha kar ek baar fir se ek nazar hawaldaar bhanu par daal kar kaha____"Kaam ki baat karo."
"Sahab wo main us chorkat ke bare me kuch kahna chaahta hu." Hawaldaar ne maano apni awaaz ko prabhaavshali banate huye kaha____"Aur us par aapki raay bhi jaanna chaahta hu."

"Ok fine." Inspector ne file ko band karne ke baad chair ki pichhli pusht par apni peeth tikaate huye kaha___"Kaho kya kahna chaahte ho uske bare me.?"
"Yahi ki maheene bhar saza kaatne ke baad aaj wo yaha se chhoot kar chala gaya." Hawaldaar kuch sochte huye bola____"Use hamne maar maar kar adhmara kar diya magar fir bhi usne ye kabool nahi kiya ki uske kamre se jo paise aur gahne jewar talaashi me paye gaye the wo sab uske hi dwara chori kiye gaye the. Jabki saboot aur gawaah dono hi uske khilaaf the. Ye baat mujhe hajam nahi ho rahi sahab ji."

"Hajam to apne ko bhi nahi ho rahi pyare." Inspector ne cigarette ka gahra kash laga kar uske dhuye ko upar hawa me udaane ke baad kaha_____"Ek taraf sab kuch uske khilaaf tha jisse saaf nazar aaya ki usne mrs babita ki bahu ke sare gahne churaye aur fir unki bahu ke sath galat karne ki koshish bhi ki. Wahi dusri taraf police dwara itni khaatirdaari karne ke baad bhi wo yahi raag alaapta raha ki usne na to paise aur gahno ki chori ki aur na hi mrs babita ki bahu ke sath kuch galat karne ki koshish ki thi."

"Wahi to sahab ji." Hawaldaar bhaanu ne is tarah reaction diya jaise usne koi zabardast point pakda ho, bola____"Wo koi professional chor uchakka nahi tha aur na hi usme aisi koi baat nazar aayi thi. Iske baavjud usne itni yaatnaye jheli. Dusra koi hota to maar ke dar se kuch der me kabool kar hi leta ki haan usi ne wo sab kiya tha..bhale hi usne na kiya raha ho. Magar ye pattha to apni hi baat par ada raha sahab ji. Kya lagta hai aapko.?"

"Filhaal to kuch bhi ho sakta hai pyare." Inspector ne cigarette ka aakhiri kas liya aur fir cigarette ke tukde ko apne pair ke niche gira kar kuchalte huye kaha____"Aisa is liye kyo ki iske pahle ham sirf us shakhs par hi focus kar rakhe the. Magar itna kuch hone ke baad aur last me uske jane ke baad bhi jab sach nazar nahi aaya to ab sochne ka nazariya badlana yakeenan tark sangat hai."

"To aapko kya lagta hai sahab ji.?" Hawaldaar bhanu tapaak se bol pada____"Ye to zaahir hi hai ki wo shakhs begunaah hai. Ji haan ab to use begunaah hi kahege na sahab ji.? Kyo ki usne bhale hi jurm ko nahi kabula magar saza to kaat hi li usne."

"Saza kaat lene se wo begunaah kaise ho gaya pyare.?" Inspector ne kaha____"Saza to use tabhi mili na jab wo gunahgaar saabit hua tha.? Sare saboot uske khilaaf the. Ye alag baat hai ki usne kisi vajah se apna jurm kabool nahi kiya. Hame sirf ye jaanna hai ki usne kis vajah se us jurm ko kabool nahi kiya.? Dusri baat agar ham ye maan le ki usne sach me koi gunaah nahi kiya tha to uske sir par ye ilzaam kaise lag gaye.? Uske kamre me mrs babita ki bahu ke paise aur gahne jewar kaha se pahuch gaye.? Sabse badi baat ye ki mrs babita ki bahu komal ne us par ye ilzaam kyo lagaya ki avinash ne uske sath zor zabardasti karne ki koshish ki aur agar wo shor na machati to wo uski ijjat loot leta.? Ye aise sawaal hain pyare jo ab uth rahe hain aur hamare dimaag me uchhal kood machane lage hain."

"Mera to dimaag chakrane laga hai sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne apne maathe par hatheli ragadte huye kaha____"Ek taraf wo namuraad avinash hai jo last tak yahi raag alaapta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya dusri taraf mrs babita aur unki bahu cheekh cheekh kar kahti rahi ki usne wo sab kiya tha. Baat agar sirf paise aur gahne jewar ki hoti to samajh me bhi aata magar koi aurat apni hi ijjat ko is tarah kyo bewajah uchhaal kar khud ko aur apne pariwar ko badnaam karegi.?"

"Point to hai pyare." Inspector ne gahri saans lete huye kaha____"Chhota mota nahi balki bada point hai. Ab is baat par zara gaur karo ki agar ye maan le ki mrs babita aur uski bahu ne avinash par jhutha ilzaam lagaya aur use police ke hatthe chadhwa diya to sawaal hai ki aisa unhone kyo kiya hoga.? Aakhir aisa karke unhe avinash se kya haasil ho gaya hoga.? Taftees to hamne bhi ki thi aas pados wale se. Sabka yahi kahna tha ki avinash bahut hi shaant aur apne kaam se matlab rakhne wala aadmi tha. Kisi factory me kaam karta tha. Subah time se jata tha aur shaam aath baje aata tha. Khana pina wo baahar hi kha leta tha. Apne kamre me wo raat me sota tha aur subah uth kar fir se apne kaam par chala jata tha. Do mahine pahle aaya tha wo aur tab se aaj tak kabhi bhi kisi ne uske bare me koi bhi faaltu ki baat nahi suni thi." Inspector ne pal bhar rukne ke baad fir se kaha____"Taftees to karni hi padi bhanu pyare. Itni marammat ke baad bhi jab us namune ne jurm kabool nahi kiya to hamare dimaag me ye vichaar bhi aaya ki kahi ye sach me begunaah to nahi aur bewajah hi ham iski khaatirdaari kiye ja rahe hain. Khair chhodo pyare....ham ye kah rahe hain ki poin to hai..aur gadbad bhi hai."

"Kaisi gadbad sahab ji" Hawaldaar bhanu ne na samajhne wale bhaav se apne aala officer ki taraf dekha.
"Kuch to gadbad zaroor hai pyare." Inspector ne sir hilate huye kaha____"Aur ab is gadbad ka pata karna hi padega. Aakhir pata to chalna hi chahiye ki ye kya chakkar tha jisme ek pariwar ki saas bahu ne apni ijjat tak uchhaal di aur ek namuraad ne apni haddiya tudwa li."

"Lagta hai haajma durust hone ka time aa gaya hai sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne ek baar fir se apni batteesi nikaal di.
"Bilkul pyare." Inspector kahne ke sath hi chair se uth khada hua aur table se utha kar apni topi ko sir par lagaya. Uske baad bhanu ki taraf dekhte huye kaha____"Tum to hamare sath hi chipkoge is liye mana karne ka koi faayda nahi. To chalo apna haajma durust karte hain."

Inspector dushyant ki baat sun kar hawaldaar bhanu khi khi kar ke hasne laga aur inspector ke chalte hi uske piche piche shaan se chal pada.

<>•<>•<>

Shaam hone wali thi.
Din bhar ki bhaag daud ke baad aakhir us shakhs yaani avinash ko ek jagah rahne ke liye ek kamra kiraye se mil hi gaya. Kabhi paidal to kabhi auto se safar kar ke wo buri tarah thak gaya tha. Peeth par lada hua bag jisme uske kuch kapde aur kuch zaruri samaan thusa hua tha. Uska bojh pratipal jaise badhta hi ja raha tha. Bhookh se bura haal to hua tha magar usne pet pooja karne ki bajaay rahne ke liye kiraye ka kamra khojne ko zyada mahattwa diya tha.

District wahi tha bas jagah badal gayi thi. Halaaki wo us jagah ke kareeb ab rahna bhi nahi chaahta tha kyo ki uski chhavi waha par bigad chuki thi. Jo log pahle use ijjat ki nazar se dekhte the wo ab use hikarat bhari dristi se dekhne wale the aur ye baat wo achhi tarah samajhta tha. Babita taayi use agar apne ghar me rahne bhi deti tab bhi wo waha nahi rukta kyo ki apni bigdi huyi chhavi ke sath wo sukoon se waha nahi rah sakta tha. Uska apna zameer use chain se sone nahi deta. Haalaki zameer to use kahi bhi chain se sone dene wala nahi tha magar man me ek chhoti si hi sahi magar ye tasalli wali baat to thi hi ki dusri jagah ke log uske bare me kuch nahi jaante hain.

Advance me maheene bhar ka kiraya jama karne ke baad hi use kamra mila tha. Haalaki aisa to har jagah hota hai magar problem tab hoti hai jab aapke paas advance me dene ke liye kiraye ke paise nahi hote. Khair ye jagah pahle wali jagah ki tarah uske liye behtar to nahi lagi magar fir bhi usne ye soch kar isi jagah par kamra liya tha kyo ki ek to din bhar ka thaka hua tha wo aur dusre andar se thoda dukhi bhi tha. Dusri baat ye thi ki use kaun sa kisi se koi matlab rakhna tha.

Jaha par use kamra mila tha wo do manjila makaan tha. Jiske ground floor me makaan maalik aur uska pariwar tha. Uske pariwar me khud wo jo ki pachaas ke paar ka tha aur uski dusri biwi jo usse umar me pandrah baras chhoti thi. Pahli biwi mar chuki thi aur usse use ek beti thi jo ab jawaani ki dehleez par thi. Dusri biwi se do bachche the jo umar me abhi kachche the.

Upar ke floor par jane ke liye main gate se enter karte hi bagal se seedhiya lagi thi. Upar ke floor par do kamre the jisme ek store room tha aur ek room wo jisme ab avinash rahne wala tha. Upar dono kamro ke saamne baaki ka chhat tha jisme ek taraf toilet bana hua tha.

Avinash ke paas samaan ke roop me bas uske kapde the aur bag me kuch aur zaruri samaan tha. Kuch kitaabe thi jinhe wo free time me padhta tha. Khair kamre ki safaayi use khud hi karni padi. Kamre me koi bed nahi tha. Ye dekh kar uske hotho par pal bhar ke liye feeki si muskaan ubhri thi. Jaise soch raha ho ki kya kismat hai aur kya ittefaaq hai ki har jagah use farsh par hi sona likha hai. Aisa nahi tha ki wo apne sone ke liye bed nahi le sakta tha magar use apni kismat par zara bhi bharosa nahi tha. Wo khud ko dharti ka sabse bada bojh maanta tha...jisme jine ki koi chaah nahi thi. Suicide is liye nahi karta tha kyo ki wo khud ko mara hua hi maanta tha.

Saaf safaayi kar ke usne thodi der farsh par let kar araam kiya aur fir khud ko fresh karne ke liye wo upar hi bane us toilet me chala gaya. Adhe ghante baad wo kapde pahan kar kamre se baagar nikla aur darwaje par tala laga kar wo seedhiyo se niche ki taraf chal diya.

Jaise hi wo antim seedhi par aaya to andar se makaan maalik bhi main gate ki taraf aaya. Dono ki aapas me nazre mili. Makaan maalik to use dekh kar muskuraya magar avinash ek nazar dekhne ke baad gate se baahar ki taraf chal diya. Uska ye bartaav makaan maalik ko thoda ajeeb laga magar usne ye socha ki shayad use kisi baat ka tention hoga is liye ignore kiya aur khud bhi uske piche baahar aa gaya.

"Aree beta suno zara." Gate se baahar aate hi makaan maalik ne avinash ko awaaz di to wo ruk gaya aur palat kar makaan maalik ki taraf dekha. Jabki uske kareeb pahuch kar makaan maalik ne kaha____"Kahi ja rahe ho kya.?"

"Ji wo khana khane ja raha hu." Avinash ne bilkul sapaat lahje me kaha.
"Khana khane.?" Makaan maalik ke chehre par chaunkne ke bhaav ubhre____"Par beta khana khane baahar kaha ja rahe ho.?"

"Ji yaha koi dhaba to hoga hi." Avinash ne poorv ki bhaanti hi sapaat bhaav se kaha____"Wahi khana khaauga. Achha ab chalta hu."
"Are dhabe me kyo khaoge beta.?" Makaan maalik use palat'ta dekha to jaldi se bol pada____"Hamne to tumhare liye bhi khana bana lene ko bol diya hai ghar me. Is liye hamare sath hi kha lena."

"Ji shukriya aapka." Avinash ne is baar bechaini se kaha____"Magar main hamesha baahar hi khana khata hu. Aapne bewajah hi mere liye khana banane ka bol diya hai."
"Ab bol diya hai to aaj kha lo beta." Makaan maalik ne prem se kaha____"Kal se baahar hi kha liya karna. Waise main to yahi salaah duga ki baahar ka khana mat khaya karo. Apne ghar ka ya apne hath ka bana khana hi khaya karo. Kyo ki baahar ke khane me milawat badi hoti hai jo sehat ke liye thik nahi hai."

Avinash ko apne makaan maalik ki baat na chaahte huye bhi maanni hi padi. Usne makaan maalik ko haan kaha aur fir waapas upar apne kamre me chala gaya. Use makaan maalik par nahi balki apne aap par gussa aa raha tha ki usne khane ke liye haan kyo kaha.?

Kamre ke farsh par wo aankhe band kiye pada hua tha. Band palko me bahut si tasveere nazar aa rahi thi jo kuch dhundhli si bhi thi aur kuch saaf bhi. Lockup me band police dwara apni kutaayi aur taayi(mrs babita) aur uski bahu komal ka use police ke hawale karna. Us par ye aarop lagana ki usne unke paise aur gahne chura kar apne kamre me chhupaye the. Itna hi nahi komal ke sath zor zabardasti kar ke uski ijjat lootne ki koshish bhi ki thi. Ye sab yaad kar ke wo buri tarah byathit ho raha tha.

Avinash ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki jab usne aisa kuch kiya hi nahi tha to un dono ne us par aise ilzaam laga kar use police ke hawale kyo kar diya tha.? Aakhir is sabke pichhe kya vajah ho sakti hai.? Uske sath hamesha aisa hi case kyo hota hai.? Kyo har do maheene baad use isi tarah ke halaato se guzarna padta hai.? Uske baad fir use dusri jagah par rahna padta hai. Ye sab uske sath pichhle ek saal se ho raha tha magar har case me sirf kirdaar badalte the baaki case aisa hi hota tha. Use samajh nahi aata tha ki uske sath ye kaun sa khel khel raha tha bhagwan.?

Wo akele me hamesha yaad karne ki koshish karta tha ki kya sach me usne aisa kuch kiya tha jiske liye use baar baar ye sab bhugatna padta tha magar laakh koshisho ke baavjud use aisa kuch yaad nahi aata tha. Shuru shuru me use lagta tha ki koi use bewajah hi fasa raha hai magar jab aise kayi case uske sath huye to use ye sochne par majbur ho jana pada ki kahi ye sab sach to nahi.? Kahi sach me to maine wo sab nahi kiya.? Aakhir har ilzaam dene wala jhootha to nahi ho sakta...magar jab mujhe yaad hi nahi ki maine aisa kuch kiya hai to main kaise maan lu aur kaise kabool kar lu.?????

Avinash hamesha apne ateet me jhaankne ki koshish karta tha magar waha use kuch bhi nazar nahi aata tha. Uske anusaar wo is duniya me akela tha aur is dharti par uska apna koi nahi tha. Dar dar ki thokaro ne aur uski aisi kismat ne usko itna nirashawadi bana diya tha ki wo ab khud ko is dharti ka bojh samajhne laga tha. Uske andar na kisi cheez ki khwaahish thi, na koi armaan tha aur na hi kisi ki chaahat me jine ki chaah thi. Wo to bas jaise apni chalti firti laash ko ye soch kar dho raha tha ki jis din wakt pura ho jayega to koi use ya to kahi dafan kar dega ya fir jala dega ya fir aise hi kahi fenk dega jaha par pada wo sadega aur us par keede gijbijayege.

Darwaje ko kisi ne baahar se khatkhataya to avinash socho ke athaah sagar se baahar aaya aur uth kar darwaja khola to dekha makaan maalik tha. Wo avinash ko khana khane ke liye bulane aaya tha. Khair avinash ne darwaje ko baahar se kundi lagaya aur makaan maalik ke sath chal diya.

Niche andar ki taraf ek chhota sa hall tha jaha par pahle se hi kursi table laga hua tha. Table ke dusri taraf do kursiya rakhi huyi thi jabki is taraf ek hi kursi thi. Makaan maalik ne avinash ko us akeli kursi ki taraf ishara karte huye baithne ko kaha aur khud saamne wali kursi par baith gaya.

Avinash ko jaise baaki kisi baat se koi matlab nahi tha. Wo chup chaap baitha tha. Makaan maalik usi ki taraf dekhte huye kuch soch raha tha. Shayad wo samajhne ki koshish kar raha tha ki uske yaha naya naya aaya kirayedaar asal me kis kism ka praani hai. Wo nayi jagah par swabhaavik roop se chup hai ya fir uski khamoshi ke pichhe koi badi vajah hai.

"Maaf karna beta." Makaan maalik ne fiza me chha gaye sannate ko cheerte huye kaha___"Maine abhi tak tumse tumhara naam tak nahi puchha. Halaaki hamare bich der sawer jaan pahchaan ho hi jayegi."

"Avinash." Avinash ne sapaat bhaav se kaha jise sun kar makaan maalik ko thoda ajeeb to laga magar usne kaha kuch nahi jabki avinash ne aage kaha___"Mera naam avinash hai. Aapko bata du ki mujhe kisi se bhi zyada baate karna aur ghulna milna pasand nahi hai. Ho sakta hai ki aapko meri ye baat achhi na lage magar sach yahi hai."

"Apna apna swabhaav hota hai beta." Makaan maalik ne halki muskaan ke sath kaha____"Aur kuch wakt aur halaat ke madde nazar se bhi insaan ka aisa swabhaav ban jata hai jiske tahat insaan kisi se baate karna ya ghulna milna pasand nahi karta. Khair chhodo beta aur haan mujhe tumhari koi bhi baat buri nahi lagegi. Tum mujhe Chacha bula sakte ho...Mahesh chacha."

Abhi avinash mahesh ki baat par kuch bolne hi wala tha ki tabhi waha par ek aurat aayi aur mahesh ke bagal wali kursi par baith gayi. Avinash ne bas ek pal ke liye uski taraf dekha uske baad usne mahesh ki taraf dekhte huye kaha_____"Abhi aur kitna wakt lagega chacha khane ko aane me. Asal me mujhe jaldi so jane ki aadat hai aur subah jaldi apne kaam par jane ki bhi."

"Bas do minute aur." Avinash ke sawaal ka jawaab mahesh ke bagal se baithi aurat ne bade namra swar me diya, boli_____"Waise kya kaam karte ho beta tum.?"

"Ye meri dharam patni hai avinash beta." Avinash kuch bolta usse pahle hi mahesh bol pada____"Tum soch rahe hoge ki main to buddha nazar aata hu aur ye thoda jawaan to beta iski vajah ye hai ki ye meri dusri patni hain."

"Kyo sarasar jhooth bolte ho ji.?" Aurat ne aankhe dikhate huye apne pati mahesh se kaga____"Main bas thoda jawaa hu.? Are tumhari beti se bas thoda hi badi hu warna abhi meri umar hi kya huyi hai.? Baat karte hain."

"Haan thik hai bhai." Mahesh ne jaise swikaar karte huye kaha____"Tum abhi bahut jawaan ho, ab khush.?"
"Wo to main hu hi." Aurat ne badi ada ke sath kaha aur halke se muskura uthi. Avinash is tarah react kar raha tha jaise uske saamne koi ho hi nahi. Tabhi uski nazar baye taraf se aati ek khubsurat ladki par padi magar fir usne apni nazar us par se hata li.

Wo ladki mahesh ki pahli biwi ki beti Shalini thi. Hath me khane ki thaali liye wo aayi aur table par avinash ke saamne rakh diya. Aise hi wo ek ek karke thaali laayi aur apne pita aur sauteli maa ke samne rakh diya. Mahesh ne is beech bina puche hi avinash ko apni beti ka tarruf karaya. Jiske jawaab me avinash kuch na bola. Balki usne thaali lagte hi khana shuru kar diya tha. Pure time mahesh aur uski dusri biwi gayatri hi baate karte rahe jabki avinash chup chaap bina un dono ko dekhe khata raha.

Khana khane ke baad avinash waapas apne kamre me chala gaya tha. Uske rookhe byohaar ko dekh kar mahesh ne to koi react nahi kiya magar gayatri ko bada ajeeb laga tha aur usne is bare me mahesh se bolna chaha to mahesh ne jane do kah kar use chup kara diya tha.

...avinash lgta to nhi chori kar sakta hai...pr jha tak sochne wali baat hai agr usne chori kari bhi to wo chori ka samaan apne paas kyo rakhta ..aisi jagah rakhta na jha pr use koi dhund na sake ...or insp. Dushyant jab murjim ko saaza bhi ho gyi or bali bhi ho gya...tab uski dimag me aa rha h ki usne apna jurm qabool kyu nhi kiya...or avinash ab nayi jagah gya h kiraye par lgta hai yha bhi pakka wo koi jhol karega...
Anyway .. fabulous update brother...

BEGUNAAH
Update - 02

​

Inspector dushyant varma apne muh bole hawaldaar bhanu ke sath us makaan ke saamne pahucha jiske darwaje ke paas hi mrs babita abhi abhi nazar aayi thi. Police inspector ke sath ek hawaldaar ko dekh kar unke chehre par sochne wale bhaav ubhre. Unhone saaf dekha ki wo dono uske kareeb hi aa rahe the. Kuch pal ke liye mrs babita ka man vichlit hua, ye soch kar ki ab ye kis kaam se yaha aa rahe hain.

Aas pados wale to waise bhi sab jaan chuke the. Haalaki sara ilzaam avinash par hi gaya tha aur police ne band bhi kar diya tha use magar unhe bhi pata tha ki chhuri chaahe kheere par gire ya kheera khud chhuri par gire magar dono situation me katna kheere ko hi padta hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki bhale hi avinash par ilzaam lage the aur wo police lockup me pahuch gaya tha magar iske baavjud samaaj ke log peeth peechhe un par sawaal ya ungli uthate hi honge.

"Kaisi hain mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne apni awaaz ko madhur banate huye mrs babita se kaha. Ye alag baat thi ki uske lahje me tanj ka bhaav bhi chhipa hua tha, bola____"Aisa lagta hai jaise ham par nazar padte hi aapka man aprasannata se bhar gaya hai.."

"Aisi koi baat nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne apne bhaavo ko chhupane ki koshish karte huye kaha____"Kahiye kaise aana hua aapka.?"
"Ham apne aane ka sabab." Inspector ne fir usi lahje me kaha____"Agar aapke ameerkhane ke andar chal kar bataye to mujhe nahi lagta ki isse aapko koi airaaz hoga." Kahne ke sath hi inspector ne hawaldaar bhanu ki taraf dekha aur fir bola____"Kya kahte ho pyare.?"

"Aapne bilkul sahi farmaya sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne apne daant faadte huye kaha. Udhar inspector ki baat par mrs babita ne kuch pal sochne ke baad un dono ko andar aane ka ishara kiya aur khud andar ki taraf chal padi.

Thodi hi der me inspector aur hawaldaar bhanu mrs babita ke pichhe pichhe andar pahuche. Makaan teen manjila tha aur mrs babita jo ki govt service me thi aur vidhwa bhi thi unhone ghar ko achhe se maintain kiya hua tha. Unka beta out of india rahta tha aur wahi service karta tha jabki bahu komal apni saas ke sath hi rahti thi. Komal ki shadi huye abhi do saal hi huye the magar abhi tak koi aulaad na huyi thi. Khair mrs babita ne inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar ko sofe par baithne ka ishara kiya to wo dono hi baith gaye.

"Kya lena pasand karenge inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne namrata se puchha_____"Chaay ya cold drink.?"
"Aapki marzi babita ji." Inspector ne kaha___"Hame to jo mil jayega ham le lenge."

Inspector ki baat par jaha hawaldaar muskura utha wahi mrs babita ne apni bahu komal ko awaaz de kar do cold drink lane ko kaha aur khud saamne wale sofe par baith gayi. Kuch aupchaarik baato ke bich hi komal tray liye aayi aur center table par rakh diya. Tray me cold drink se bhare kaanch ke do glass the jinhe inspector aur hawaldaar ne baari baari se utha liya. Udhar tray rakhne ke baad komal bhi apni saas ke bagal se wahi baith gayi.

"Ab bataiye inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne inspector ki taraf dekhte huye kaha____"Yaha aane ka kast kis liye kiya aapne.?"
"Waaah maza aa gaya mrs babita ji. Sach me ab andar kuch thandi thandi feeling aa rahi hai." Inspector ne aadha glass cold drink pine ke baad kaha____"Kya lagta hai aapko...by the way.?"

"Kya matlab.?" Mrs babita ke maathe par shikan ubhar aayi.
"Yahi ki hamne yaha aane ka itna bada kast kyo kiya hoga.?" Inspector ne ajeeb bhaav se kaha___"Waise itna to aap bhi samajhti hi hongi ki ham yaha aapse sirf hello haye karne to aaye nahi honge to fir bataiye kya lagta hai aapko.?"

"Mujhe nahi pata." Mrs babita ko inspector ka ye sawaal aur uska lahja zara bhi pasand nahi aaya tha. Fir bhi apne andar ke bhaavo ko chehre par ujaagar hone se bachate huye namrata se kaha____"Aap khud hi bata de to meharbaani hogi."

"Meharbaani to ham zarur karenge mrs babuta ji magar." Inspector ne khaas andaaz se kaha___"Magar shart ye hai ki badle me aapko bhi ham par meharbaani karni hogi."

"Main bhala aap par kya meharbaani karugi.?" Mrs babita ne chaunkte huye kaha____"Dekhiye saaf saaf kahiye jo bhi kahna hai aapko. Yu baato ko gol gol ghuma kar baat mat kijiye mujhse."

"Thik hai jaisi aapki marzi." Inspector ne kandhe uchkaate huye kaha____"Jaha tak mera khayaal hai to aapne ab tak apne us kirayedaar ko yaha se futaas ki goli de di hogi, ye kah kar ki aise insaan ko ab aap apne ghar ke aas paas bhi dekhna pasand nahi karengi aur wo bechara futaas ki goli kha kar yaha se nikal bhi liya hoga. Marta kya na karta waali haalat jo thi uski. Agar nahi jata to fir se aapke dwara lockup me pahuch jata. Maine thik farmaya na mrs babita ji.?"

"Main us neech aadmi ke bare me baat nahi karna chaahti inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne is baar zara teekhe lahje me kaha____"Aur behtar hoga ki aap bhi uske bare me mujhse koi baat na kare."

"Kaise na kare mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne jaise aah si bhari____"Der se hi sahi magar hame ye bhi samajh aaya ki itna maar khane ke baad bhi wo namuraad ye kyo nahi kabool kar raha tha ki us par jo aarop aap logo ne lagaye the wo 100% sach hai.?"

"Kahna kya chaahte hain aap.?" Mrs babita ki peshaani par bal pada, boli____"Kya ab aap ye soch rahe hain ki wo neech insaan begunaah tha aur hamne us par bewajah jhutha ilzaam lagaya.? Aisa sochna bhi mat inspector sahab. Ham koi aire gaire pariwar se nahi hain. Ye ijjatdaar logo ka ghar hai jo yu hi bewajah apni hi ijjat ko samaaj ke saamne uchhaal kar apna sukh chain nahi barbaad kar dega."

"Yahi to pench hai babita ji." Inspector ne aise muh banaya jaise us par koi bhaari musibat aa gayi ho aur wo usse behad aahat ho gaya ho, bola____"Aap kahti hain ki usne aapke yaha chori ki aur aapki bahu komal ji ke sath zor zabardasti bhi ki jabki wo namuraad hamare dwara di gayi itni yaatnaao ke baad bhi yahi raag alaapta raha ki usne kuch bhi nahi kiya. Yaani ki na to usne chori ki aur na hi usne komal ji ke sath koi zor zabardasti ki hai. Maar se to bhoot bhi darte hain babita ji. Police ki maar se achhe achhe apna muh faad dete hain aur aisa bhi hota hai ki jo log jurm nahi bhi kiye hote wo bhi maar ke dar se bolne lagte hain ki haan unhone fala jurm kiya hai. Magar wo namuraad maar khata raha...magar us kambakht ne pal bhar ke liye bhi ye kabool nahi kiya ki usne koi galat kaam kiya tha. Mana ki use saza mili aur usne puri saza kaat li. Yaha tak ki aaj wo apni saza kaat ke bari bhi ho gaya magar hamare saamne sawaal to chhod gaya na ki jab usne kuch nahi kiya to kisne kiya.? Aapke yaha kisne chori ki aur komal ji ke sath kisne zor zabardasti ki aur kisne use fasaya.?"

"Ohh to matlab agar us neech aadmi ne apna jurm kabool nahi kiya to." Mrs babita bol padi___"Ab aap ye kah rahe hain ki hamne use jhuth muth ka ilzaam laga kar aapke hawale kiya tha.?"

"Maine aisa kab kaha babita ji.?" Inspector ne apne kandho ko uchkaate huye kaha____"Main to wo bata raha hu aapko jo hua hai aur jo kuch hone ke baad ab samajh aa raha hai. Maan lijiye ki aap apni jagah sahi hain aur aapke ilzaam bhi apni jagah sahi hain...usi tarah ye bhi maan lijiye ki wo avinash bhi apni jagah sahi hai to sawaal ye hai ki aisi ghinauni waardaat ko anjaam kisne diya.? Aapko apni badnaami kara ke kya mil gaya aur use bhi apni badnaami aur durgati kara ke aur to aur saza kaat ke bhi kya mil gaya.?"

"Aap na jane kya kya anaap shanaap bole ja rahe hain inspector sahab." Sahsa is baar mrs babita ki bahu komal teekhe lahje me bol padi____"Jab ki sachchaayi ye hai ki us kamine ne meri aalmaari se paise aur gahne jewar churaye aur mere sath zor zabardasti kar ke meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki thi aur ye baat main bewajah apni aur apne pariwar ki ijjat uchhalne ke uddesya se nahi kah rahi hu balki ye hakikat hai aur meri saasu maa is baat ko achhi tarah jaanti hain. Us raat jab wo kameena mere sath zor zabardasti kar raha tha tab maine shor machaya tha aur meri cheekhe sun kar meri saasu maa apne kamre se bhaagte huye mere kamre me aayi thi aur unhone apni aankho se sab kuch dekha tha. Ab aap bataiye kya main aur meri saasu maa jhooth muth ka uske upar ilzaam lagaayi thi. Us kameene ka kya bigad gaya jabki ham to pure samaaj me badnaam ho ke rah gaye. Kya ye sab bhi jhooth hai.?"

Komal ki baato se kuch der ke liye waha par maano khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector bade gaur se uski baate sun raha tha aur uske chehre par ubharte bhaavo ko read kar raha tha. Use kahi se bhi ek pal ke liye bhi mahsoos nahi hua ki wo jhuth muth ki kahani gadh rahi hai. Uske chehre ke bhaav aur uske aanshu saaf saaf bata rahe the ki wo sach kah rahi thi. Inspector ko samajh na aaya ki wo in sab baato par kya faisla kare.

"Ek kaam kijiye komal ji." Inspector ne gahri saans lene ke baad komal se kaha____"Aap apne tarike se mujhe puri kahani bataiye."
"Ye koi mazaak hai kya inspector sahab.?" Mrs babita ne narazgi se kaha____"Ya ye koi dilchasp kissa hai jise aap baar baar sun kar uska lutf uthana chaahte hain. Jabki maine khud shuruaat me hi aapko sab kuch bata diya tha."

"Aapne bataya tha to maine use giraftaar bhi to kiya tha mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kaha_____"Aur itna hi nahi uske sath waisa hi sulook kiya jaisa kisi mujrim ke sath kiya jata hai magar ab halaat badal gaye hain. Halaato ne mujhe ye sochne par majbur kar diya hai ki usne apne jurm ka ikbaal kyo nahi kiya.? Police ki itni dardnaak maar aur maheeno ki kaid sahna usne gawara kar liya magar wo kabool nahi kiya jiske liye use itna kuch bhogna pada. Aakhir kyo babita ji.? Chaliye maan lete hain ki wo koi ziddi nature ka tha ya koi uski majburi rahi hogi magar sawaal to hai na ki aisi kya majburi thi.? Jab tak in sawaalo ka sahi sahi jawaab nahi milega tab tak na mujhe chain milega aur na hi aapko.?"

"Hame kyo chain nahi milega inspector.?" Mrs babita ki aankhe faili____"Waise thik hi kaha aapne. Chain waakayi me nahi milega hame. Jis tarah ka apraadh usne kiya tha uske liye ye saza bahut hi kam rahi. Mera bas chalta to goli maar deti use. Tabhi shayad chain milta hame."

"Nazariye ki baat hai babita ji." Inspector ne halki muskaan ke sath kaha_____"Zara ek baar is nazariye se sochiye ki goli maarne ke baad jab aapko pata chalta ki usne to waisa koi apraadh kiya hi nahi tha jiske liye aapne use goli maar di tab kya aap use waapas zinda kar deti.? Hargiz nahi...tab aap kuch nahi kar paati balki hota ye ki ek begunaah ki hatya ka bojh saari zindagi aapko chain se jeene nahi deta."

"Baato ka jaal bunne ka koi faayda nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne kaha_____"Kyo ki sachchaayi to hame pata hi hai ki kya hai. Iske pahle to aisi koi soch aapke man me nahi aayi thi magar ab uske dwara ikbaale jurm na kiye jane se aap jane kya kya soche ja rahe hain."

"Ham police wale hain babita ji." Inspector ne muskurate huye kaha____"Aur hame aisa bana diya jata hai ki ham do cheezo ke sabse zyada aadi ho jate hain. Ek shak karne ke aur dusre sochne ke. Khair chhodiye mujhe komal ji ke mukh se sunna hai ki kya hua tha us raat. Ya fir waha se bataiye jaha se avinash ki entry aapke ghar me huyi thi."

Inspector ki baat par komal ne apni saas mrs babita ki taraf dekha. Mrs babita se apni palke jhapka kar maano ijazat de di. Saas ki ijazat milne ke baad komal ne ek gahri saans li aur fir bolna shuru kiya.

<>•<>•<>

"Do maheene pahle wo hamare yaha kiraye se rahne aaya tha." Komal ne is tarah bolna shuru kiya maano uski aankho ke saamne do maheene pahle se ab tak ki koi video film chalne lagi ho, jise dekh dekh kar wo uska ek ek scene bata rahi ho, boli____"Mera to usse koi matlab rakhne ka sawaal hi nahi tha. Usne maa ji se hi baat ki thi kiraye se ek kamra lene ke liye. Is ghar me main aur saasu maa hi rahte hain. Maa ji ne usse uske bare me thodi bahut maalumaat ki aur use kiraye se ek kamra de diya jo ki second floor par tha. Upar ke floor me jane ke liye baahar wale gate ke andar se hi seedhiya thi jabki dusri seedhiya is taraf se bhi thi. Ye sach hai ki do chaar din me hi hame ye samajh aane laga tha ki ham jis ajnabi aur gair mard ke yaha rahne se thoda khud ko asahaj mahsoos karne lage the wo aisa waisa type ka nahi hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki wo bhale hi yaha rahta tha magar khud kisi se koi baat nahi karta tha. Subah aath baje wo apne kisi kaam se chala jata tha aur fir raat aath ya saadhe aath baje waapas aa kar upar apne kamre me chala jata tha. Ham dono isse sahaj to huye magar man me uske prati shak abhi bhi tha is liye ham uske yaha rahne par raat me satark rahti thi. Aise hi das din guzar gaye. Ek din maa ji ne mujhse kaha ki lagta hai ham bekaar me hi us bechare par shak kar rahe hain jabki usme aisi waisi to koi baat nazar nahi aa rahi. Khair agle din maa ji ne subah hi usse baat ki aur kaha ki aaj ghar me puja hai to wo raat ka khana hamare sath hi khaye. Usne maa ji ke prastaav ko sun kar pahle to ye kah kar thukra diya ki wo hamesha baahar hi khana khata hai aur kisi se na zyada baat karta hai aur na hi kisi se ghulna milna pasand karta hai. Uski is baat se maa ji ko laga wo bekaar me hi us par itne dino se shak kar rahi thi jabki in das dino me usne ek baar bhi ham dono saas bahu ko nazar utha kar nahi dekha tha. Khair maa ji ke zor dene par aakhir use maa ji ka khane ka prastaav accept karna hi pada."

Komal ne ekdam se bolna band kar diya to ek baar fir se waha par khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar bhanu bade gaur se uski baate sun rahe the. Jab komal ne bolna band kar diya to utsuktawas bhanu puch hi baitha ki aage kya hua.?

"Raat me wo hamesha ki tarah apne time par hi waapas aaya." Bhanu ke puchhne par komal ne lambi saans kheenchte huye kaha_____"Main aur saasu maa uske aane ka hi intzaar kar rahe the. Jab wo aaya to maa ji ne usse kaha ki wo fresh ho kar aaye, uske baad ham sab sath me hi khana khayege. Maa ji ki baat sun kar usne bas 'Ji' kaha aur upar apne kamre ki taraf chala gaya. Idhar maine sab kuch intjaam karke dining table par saja diya tha. Kareeb das minute baad wo upar se aaya to maa ji ne use dining table ke left side baithne ko kaha to wo chup chaap baith gaya. Maa ji front ki chair par baithi huyi thi aur main unke right side wali chair par baith gayi. Ek tarah se ab main us shakhs ke saamne hi thi. Khair maa ji ne khud apne hatho se uski thaali me khane ke alag alag byanjan parose. Jab sabki thaali me khana lag gaya to ham sabne khana shuru kiya. Main uski taraf nahi dekhna chaahti thi kyo ki ek to mujhe uncomfortable feel ho raha tha dusre main nahi chaahti thi ki uski taraf dekhne se wo ya maa ji mere bare me kuch alag tarah se sochne lage. Aakhir meri aur uski umar me zyada fark bhi to nahi tha, dusre main ek aisi shadi shuda aurat thi jiska pati pichhle ek saal se india ke baahar tha. Khair khane ke dauraan maa ji ne hi usse uske bare me thoda bahut normaly puchna shuru kiya. Jaise wo pahle kaha rahta tha, kya kaam karta tha aur uski apni family me kaun kaun hain. Maa ji ke sare sawaalo ko usne bas short me hi jawaab diya ki wo pahle kaha rahta tha aur kya kaam karta tha. Wo kisi company me mechanic tha. Family ke bare me usne yahi bataya tha ki uska is duniya me koi nahi hai." Komal saans lene ke liye ruki to ek baar fir se fiza me khamoshi chha gayi.

"Uska khamosh rahna kisi ko bhi ye sochne par majbur kar sakta tha ki uski khamoshi ke peechhe koi badi vajah zarur hai." Komal ne saans lene ke baad fir se bolna shuru kiya_____"Maa ji ko bhi use dekh kar yahi laga tha aur unhone usse is bare me puchha bhi magar usne yahi kaha ki uski khamoshi ke pichhe koi vajah nahi hai balki uska swabhaav hi aisa hai. Aisa nahi tha ki usme koi khaas baat nahi thi..balki wo aisa tha ki uski har baat khaas thi jo uske bare me sochne par majbur karti thi. Wo dikhne me gora chittha tha, kad kaathi achhi thi aur koi bhi ladki use dekh kar yahi sochti ki kaash usse uski shadi ho jaye. Uski khamoshi to thi hi uski khaas vajah aur uska kisi se bhi na ghulne milne ki baat bhi khaas hi thi. Bhala duniya me itna vichitra type ka insaan kaun hoga jo aise nature ke sath sahajta se logo ke bich rah pata ho.? Khair us raat wo khana kha kar chala gaya magar sath hi hamare andar se wo aakhiri asahjta bhi door kar gaya jo uske pahle shesh bachi thi. Is baat ka asar ye hua ki dusre din se maa ji aksar usse uska haal chaal puchne lagi. Is liye nahi ki unke andar ab uske prati koi shanka thi balki is liye ki wo ye samajhne lagi thi ki wo bhale hi chaahe selfish nature ka ho aur kisi se baat karna pasand na karta ho magar insaan bura nahi tha aur na hi uske dwara hame koi khatra tha. Shuruaat me maa ji ke dwara is tarah haal chaal puchhne par shayad use pareshani huyi thi magar fir wo bhi dhire dhire maa ji se baat cheet karne laga tha. Haan uski koshish yahi rahti thi ki uska saamna maa ji se ya mujhse na ho magar maa ji se uska saamna ho hi jata tha. Aise hi do maheene guzar gaye. In do maheeno me wo hamare ghar ke sadasya ki tarah ho gaya tha. Halaaki wo ab bhi ham logo se zyada baat nahi karta tha magar ab itna fark to aa hi gaya tha ki ham us par puri tarah bharosa karne lage the aur usse kisi tarah ka khatra hone ka sochte bhi nahi the. Maa ji ke kahne par wo hamre general kaam bhi kar diya karta tha. Sabse badi baat aur hairaani ki baat to ye thi ki agar kisi vajah se usse mera saamna hota tha aur use bolna padta tha to wo mujhe bhabhi maa kahta tha jabki uski aur meri umar me zyada fark nahi tha. Bhabhi bolna galat ya ajeeb nahi tha magar bhabhi maa bolna thoda ajeeb lagta tha magar maine ya maa ji ne use iske liye kabhi kuch nahi kaha." Komal ek baar fir se saans lene ke liye ruk gayi to inspector dushyant ne gahri saans li. Andaaz aisa tha jaise kuch kahne wala tha aur kaha bhi usne.

"Chaliye ye sab to thik hai komal ji." Inspector ne kaha____"Ab zara us raat ke bare me bataiye jis raat wo waardaat huyi thi."

"Mera kamra ground floor par hi maa ji ke kamre ke right side me tha." Komal ne batana shuru kiya____"Har roz ki tarah main aur maa ji apne apne kamre me soye huye the. Pichhle do din se meri tabiyat kuch kharaab thi is vajah se maa ji raat me kayi baar mujhe dekhne ke liye mere kamre me aati rahti thi, is vajah se main apne kamre ka darwaja andar se kundi laga kar band nahi karti thi. Dusri baat ab avinash ko kyo ki ham apne ghar ka sadasya hi maanne lage the to ham na to ab usse kisi tarah ka khatra mahsoos karte the aur na hi hame koi ummid thi ki wo aisa waisa kuch karega. Main gate ke paas se upar jane ke liye seedhiya thi aur main gate se andar ki taraf aane ke liye koi baadha bhi nahi thi kyo ki andar ki taraf ka raasta khula hi tha. Aapne dekha hi hoga ki main gate se andar aane ke baad fir koi darwaja nahi hai balki ek chhota sa baraamda hai uske baad ek chhota sa hall. Khair us raat main apne kamre me dawa kha ke soyi huyi thi. Mujhe nahi pata ki us wakt mere kamre me kaun aaya aur meri aalmaari khol kar uske andar ke locker se mere paise aur mere sare gahne jewar le gaya. Magar jab mujhe apne jism par kuch rengta hua feel hua to meri aankh khul gayi. Pahle to mujhe kuch samajh na aaya magar night bulb ki roshni me jaise hi meri nazar avinash par padi to main buri tarah dar gayi aur ghabra kar cheekhne hi wali thi ki usne bijli ki si tezi se apne ek hath ki hatheli kisi pressure cooker ke dhakkan ki tarah mere muh par rakh di aur dusre hath se zor de kar mujhe bed par majbuti se dhakel diya. Uski is harkat se meri ghigghi bandh gayi thi. Maare dahshat ke mera bura haal ho gaya tha. Mukh se goon goon ki awaaze nikal rahi thi aur chehra palak jhapakte hi paseene se tar batar ho gaya tha. Jabki wo kameena lagataar mere muh me apni hatheli dabaye mere upar chadhta hi chala ja raha tha. Kuch hi palo me usne apni dono taango se meri un taango ko daba liya jinhe chhatpatate huye main patke ja rahi thi aur fir wo jhuka aur mere pet ke paas sikudi saadi ko muh me daba kar alag karne laga. Idhar main apne dono hatho se uske baal nochne me lagi thi magar wo fir bhi nahi ruk raha tha. Bhay ke mare mera bura haal tha aur meri aankho se aanshu chhalak pade the. Main zor zor se cheekhna chaahti thi magar mera muh shakhti se uski hatheli ke niche daba hua tha. Jab wo kisi bhi tarah se mere zor dene par na ruka to maine uske baalo ko mutthi me pakad kar puri taakat se kheecha jisse uski pakad dheeli pad gayi aur usne apne mukh se meri saadi ko chhod kar aur sir utha kar meri taraf dekha. Uski aankho me darindagi dekh kar meri cheekh nikal gayi. Mere muh se uski hatheli hat gayi thi is liye meri cheekh maa ji ke kaano tak pahuch gayi. Idhar main cheekhte huye maa ji ko pukaarti hi rahi. Kamre ke baahar se jaise hi usne maa ji ki awaaz suni to wo jaldi se mere upar se hat kar bed se niche utra aur darwaje ki taraf bhaga magar tabhi darwaza khula aur maa ji kamre me aa gayi aur usse takra gayi. Takkar shayad zor ki thi tabhi to maa ji pichhe darwaze se takra gayi thi magar iske baad bhi unhone saaf dekha ki wo avinash tha jo unse takra kar darwaze se baahar bhaga tha. Idhar uske bhaagte hi main bhi bed se niche aa kar rote huye maa ji se kahne lagi thi ki us kameene ne meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki hai. Bad-hawaashi ki haalat me maa ji ne mujhe kisi tarah samhala aur mujhe kamre me hi rukne ka bol kar ye kahte huye avinash ke kamre ki taraf teji se gayi ki uski himmat kaise huyi meri bahu ke sath aisi ghatiya harkat karne ki. Abhi police ke hawale karti hu use."

Komal ek baar fir se chup huyi to khamoshi chha gayi. Idhar inspector dushyant komal ki saari baato ke bare me sochne laga tha magar fir jald hi usne komal ki taraf dekhte huye pucha____"Uske baad kya hua.?"

"Apni bahu ke sath uske dwara ki gayi is harkat se main gusse se paagal ho gayi thi." Inspector ke puchhne par komal ki jagah jawaab dene ki kamaan jaise mrs babita ne samhaal li, boli____"Use maine apne bete ki tarah samjha aur use apne ghar ka ek sadasya mana magar usne mere bharose ka khoon kiya aur mere ghar ki ijjat par hath dala tha. Is liye gusse se paglaayi huyi jab main uske piche teji se jate hue uske kamre ke darwaje par pahuchi to dekha darwaja band tha. Maine gusse se kamre ke darwaje ko dhakka diya to wo teji se khula aur dono taraf ki diwaaro se takraya. Kamre ke andar aa kar maine dekha kamre ke bicho beech wo kameena farsh par hi dusri taraf ko chehra kiye leta hua tha tha. Main ye dekh kar aur bhi gusse se pagla gayi ki kaise ye kameena meri bahu ke sath wo ghatiya harkat kar ke yaha chain se leta hua hai. Maine aav dekha na taav aage badh kar zor se ek laat uski peeth par maari to wo hadbada kar uth ke baith gaya. Uske sir ke baal waise hi bikhre huye the jaise meri bahu ne kheech kar bikhere the. Jaise hi uski nazar mujh par padi to wo buri tarah chaunka aur ghabra bhi gaya. Main itne gusse me thi ki jaise hi wo uth kar baitha main us par chadh daudi aur laat ghuso par rakh liya use. Wo kya kah raha tha main ye nahi sun rahi thi balki laat ghuso ke sath ye kahti ja rahi thi ki kameene maine tujhe apne bete ki tarah samjha aur apne ghar ka sadasya maana aur tune kya kiya.? Meri bahu aur apni bhabhi maa ki ijjat par hath dala. Abhi main ye sab usse kahti huyi us par laat ghuse barsa hi rahi thi ki tabhi meri bahu komal bhi waha aa gayi aur wo rote huye mujhe kheech kar kamre se baahar le jane lagi. Maine kamre se baahar aa kar kundi laga di, ye soch kar ki kahi wo bhaag na jaye yaha se. Apni bahu ke sath niche aa kar maine police station me aapko phone kar diya. Uske baad kya hua ye aapko pata hai."

"Haan pata hai mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kuch sochte huye gahri saans li fir bola____"Uske baad aapne police station me call karke hame bulaya. Main apne kuch police shipahiyo ko le kar aapke ghar aaya aur aapse uske bare me pucha to aapne mujhe bataya ki aapne use kamre ke andar baahar se darwaje ki kundi laga ke band kar rakha hai." Kahne ke sath hi inspector thodi der ke liye ruka.

"Mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai." Inspector ne kahi khoye huye se andaaz me kaha____"Ki aapke dwara bataye jane par main upar uske kamre me gaya aur dekha ki wo kamre me saamne wali diwaar se sata hua farsh par baitha tha. Ab kyo ki us wakt situation aisi thi ki aapki tarah main bhi use dekh kar aur ye soch kar gusse me aa gaya tha ki usne aapki bau ke sath aisi ghinauni harkat ki thi is liye us gusse me maine bhi use laat ghuso me dhar liya. Wo dard se karaha aur chillaya bhi. Puchne par jab usne ye kaha ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki so raha tha to us wakt ki situation ke anusaar maine use fir se do chaar thappad lagaya. Is beech mere sath aaye mere shipahiyo ne kamre ki talaashi li to uske bag se dher sare paise aur gahne jewar mile jinhe dekh kar aapne kaha ki ye paise aur gahne jewar to aapki bahu ke hain. Fir kya tha ek to waisi ghatiya harkat dusre chori ke us maamle ne uski achhi khaasi kutaayi karwane me koi kasar nahi chhodi. Ham use pakad kar seedha thaane le aaye aur fir thane par bhi uske sath wahi kissa."

"Hamare sahab ji ke dwara." Inspector saans lene ke liye ruka to bagal se baitha hawaldaar bhanu bich me bol pada_____"Itni kutaayi ke baad bhi wo kambakht yahi bolta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya aur ant tak yahi bolta raha. Aaj bhi jab wo riha ho ke ja raha tha to hamne usse puchha tha ki ab to bata de bhai kya tune wo sab kiya tha magar usne fiki muskaan ke sath yahi kaha ki wo zindagi bhar yahi kahega ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki wo begunaah tha aur use bewajah fasaya gaya tha."

"Riha hone ke baad bade se bada mujrim kanoon ki aankho me dekh kar muskurate huye kabhi kabhi ye kah jata hai." Inspector ne kaha_____"Ki gunaah usi ne kiya tha magar kanoon uska kuch nahi bigaad paya. Aap khud sochiye babita ji ki agar avinash riha hone ke baad kabool bhi kar leta to uska ham kya kar lete.? Kyo ki jis jurm ki use saza huyi thi us saza ko to wo kaat hi chuka tha. Ab aisa to hai nahi ki kanoon use baar baar ek baar kiye gaye jurm ke liye saza deta. Matlab saaf hai ki wo apni jagah sahi tha. Ab sawaal ye hai ki agar wo sahi hai to us raat jo kuch bhi hua wo kisne kiya.?"

Inspector ke chup hote hi waha par blood ki dhaar ki maanind sannata chha gaya. Mrs babita aur unki bahu komal ke chehre par kayi tarah ke bhaav aate jate nazar aa rahe the jinhe inspector badi baariki se read karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

"Khair chhodiye." Inspector dono saas bahu ko kuch na bolte dekh bol pada_____"Mujhe ek baar fir se us kamre ka muaayna karna hai jis kamre me wo rahta tha. Agar aapko koi aitraaz na ho to main us kamre me ja kar waha ka muaayna kar lu.?"

Inspector ke aisa kahne par mrs babita ne mook sahmati de di use. Sahmati milte hi inspector dushyant sofe se uth kar khada ho gaya. Uske khada hote hi hawaldaar bhanu bhi jhatke se khada ho gaya.

"Aap chaahe to hamare sath us kamre me chal sakti hain." Inspector ne mrs babita ki taraf dekhte huye kaha jis par mrs babita ne jane se mana kar diya.

Inspector dushyant apne hawaldaar ke sath upar us kamre me pahucha jis kamre me avinash rahta tha. Dushyant ne dekha ki kamra puri tarah se khaali tha. Koi bhi samaan ya wastu waha par nahi thi. Hoti bhi kaise..? Avinash ke paas apna jo samaan tha wo uske apne kapde aur kuch zaruri cheeze thi jo ek maamuli se bag me hi aa jati thi. Kamre ke farsh par wah bina kuch bichhaye hi sota tha is liye bed wagaira bhi nahi tha.

Kamre me ek khidki thi jo ki pichhe ki taraf thi aur usme lohe ki jaalinuma khidki lagi thi. Inspector ne kuch der kamre me idhar udhar dekha aur fir kamre se baahar aa gaya. Kamre ke baahar aa kar wo first floor par jane wali seedhiyo ki taraf aaya aur fir seedhiyo se upar chadhta chala gaya. Seedhi ke antim chhor par ek lohe ka darwaza tha jo ki is wakt andar se band tha. Dushyant ne darwaja khola aur bhanu ke sath chhat par aa gaya. Lambe chaude chhat par teen fit uchi boundary thi. Dushyant chaaro taraf ki boundary me ja ja kar achhe se muaayna karne laga. Wo boundary ke baahar bhi nazar daalta ja raha. Khaas kar us taraf jis taraf sadak thi. Kafi der tak wo yu hi jane kya kya check karta raha uske baad wo bhanu ke sath waapas niche aa gaya.

"Kamre ka muaayna kar liya aapne.?" Inspector ko waapas aaya dekh mrs babita ne kaha____"Waise kya aap batayege ki kis cheez ka muaayna kar rahe the aap.? Kahi aisa to nahi ki aapke dimaag me khayaal aaya ho ki us raat koi dusra insaan baahar se yaha aaya aur usne wo sab kiya aur fir apna sara kuch kiya dhara aapke kathit begunaah insaan avinash ke sir par daal kar gayab ho gaya.?"

"Kamaal hai." Inspector mrs babita ki baat par muskuraye bagair na rah saka, bola_____"Aapne to jaise mere dimaag ka operation hi kar diya. Aapko to police department me hona chahiye tha."

"Baate mat banaao inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne sapaat bhaav se kaha_____"Agar aapke dimaag me wahi khayaal aaya hai jiska ki maine zikra kiya hai to aapka khayaal sarasar galat hai. Kyo ki na main andhi thi aur na hi meri bahu. Ham dono ne saaf dekha tha ki wo avinash hi tha jisne wo sab kiya tha. Rahi baat uske kabool na karne ki to pench us me hai ham me nahi aur haan ab mujhe lagta hai ki aapko yaha se jana chahiye. Main nahi chaahti ki mere ghar me police walo ki itni der tak maujudgi mere liye aisi ho jaye jiski vajah se aas pados wale hamse nazre bhi milana pasand na kare."

"Mrs babita." Inspector dushyant ke chehre par naagwari bhare bhaav ubhre_____"Aap to aise kah rahi hain jaise police koi aisi cheez hai jise chhoot ki bimari hoti hai aur uske aapke yaha rahne se aapko bhi bimari lag jayegi. Main pure ijjat samman ke sath aapse baate kar raha hu magar aapka bartaav nihayat hi ghatiya kism ka hai. Aapke sath jo kuch bhi hua uske liye hamne use wahi saza dilwaayi jo aise apraadh ki hoti hai. Meri ek baat dhyaan se sun lijiye ki bhale hi ab wo case rafa dafa ho gaya hai magar main is baat ka pata laga ke rahuga ki jis insaan ke upar aapne sangeen arop laga kar use saza dilwaayi us insaan ne aakhir tak ye kyo kahta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya.?"

Inspector ka lahja eka ek shakht ho gaya tha. Ye dekh kar hawaldaar bhanu ne usse chalne ke liye kaha to wo dono saas bahu ko baari baari se dekh kar ghar se baahar ki taraf badhta chala gaya.

To wo aurat mrs.babita or uski bahi thi jiske ghar pr kiraye pr rehta tha...pr yr ab lgta to nhi ki avinash ne kuch kiya hoga uske haav bhaav dekh kar...pr jis tarah uski bahi ne wakya sunaya usse to yahi lgta hai ki wo avinash hi tha...pr ye bhi sach h ki avinash ko fasake inhe kya milega ...balki badnami to inki bhi ho gyi..or shayad kuch to h jo mrs babita janti h pr bta nhi rhi insp. Ko...or insp. Dushyant wo ab bada interest le rha h ki ab usne jurm kyo kabool nhi kiya..?
Ab dekhna hoga kya wakai ne avinash ne jurm kiya ..agr kiya to usne itni maar ke baad bhi kuch kyo nhi bola siwaye iske ki mujhe fasaya gya h..agr use fasaya bhi gya h to sawal h kyo...
Anyways.. jabardast update brother...badiya likh rhe ho yaara..

 

[Iron Man]

BEGUNAAH
Update - 02

​

Inspector dushyant varma apne muh bole hawaldaar bhanu ke sath us makaan ke saamne pahucha jiske darwaje ke paas hi mrs babita abhi abhi nazar aayi thi. Police inspector ke sath ek hawaldaar ko dekh kar unke chehre par sochne wale bhaav ubhre. Unhone saaf dekha ki wo dono uske kareeb hi aa rahe the. Kuch pal ke liye mrs babita ka man vichlit hua, ye soch kar ki ab ye kis kaam se yaha aa rahe hain.

Aas pados wale to waise bhi sab jaan chuke the. Haalaki sara ilzaam avinash par hi gaya tha aur police ne band bhi kar diya tha use magar unhe bhi pata tha ki chhuri chaahe kheere par gire ya kheera khud chhuri par gire magar dono situation me katna kheere ko hi padta hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki bhale hi avinash par ilzaam lage the aur wo police lockup me pahuch gaya tha magar iske baavjud samaaj ke log peeth peechhe un par sawaal ya ungli uthate hi honge.

"Kaisi hain mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne apni awaaz ko madhur banate huye mrs babita se kaha. Ye alag baat thi ki uske lahje me tanj ka bhaav bhi chhipa hua tha, bola____"Aisa lagta hai jaise ham par nazar padte hi aapka man aprasannata se bhar gaya hai.."

"Aisi koi baat nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne apne bhaavo ko chhupane ki koshish karte huye kaha____"Kahiye kaise aana hua aapka.?"
"Ham apne aane ka sabab." Inspector ne fir usi lahje me kaha____"Agar aapke ameerkhane ke andar chal kar bataye to mujhe nahi lagta ki isse aapko koi airaaz hoga." Kahne ke sath hi inspector ne hawaldaar bhanu ki taraf dekha aur fir bola____"Kya kahte ho pyare.?"

"Aapne bilkul sahi farmaya sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne apne daant faadte huye kaha. Udhar inspector ki baat par mrs babita ne kuch pal sochne ke baad un dono ko andar aane ka ishara kiya aur khud andar ki taraf chal padi.

Thodi hi der me inspector aur hawaldaar bhanu mrs babita ke pichhe pichhe andar pahuche. Makaan teen manjila tha aur mrs babita jo ki govt service me thi aur vidhwa bhi thi unhone ghar ko achhe se maintain kiya hua tha. Unka beta out of india rahta tha aur wahi service karta tha jabki bahu komal apni saas ke sath hi rahti thi. Komal ki shadi huye abhi do saal hi huye the magar abhi tak koi aulaad na huyi thi. Khair mrs babita ne inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar ko sofe par baithne ka ishara kiya to wo dono hi baith gaye.

"Kya lena pasand karenge inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne namrata se puchha_____"Chaay ya cold drink.?"
"Aapki marzi babita ji." Inspector ne kaha___"Hame to jo mil jayega ham le lenge."

Inspector ki baat par jaha hawaldaar muskura utha wahi mrs babita ne apni bahu komal ko awaaz de kar do cold drink lane ko kaha aur khud saamne wale sofe par baith gayi. Kuch aupchaarik baato ke bich hi komal tray liye aayi aur center table par rakh diya. Tray me cold drink se bhare kaanch ke do glass the jinhe inspector aur hawaldaar ne baari baari se utha liya. Udhar tray rakhne ke baad komal bhi apni saas ke bagal se wahi baith gayi.

"Ab bataiye inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne inspector ki taraf dekhte huye kaha____"Yaha aane ka kast kis liye kiya aapne.?"
"Waaah maza aa gaya mrs babita ji. Sach me ab andar kuch thandi thandi feeling aa rahi hai." Inspector ne aadha glass cold drink pine ke baad kaha____"Kya lagta hai aapko...by the way.?"

"Kya matlab.?" Mrs babita ke maathe par shikan ubhar aayi.
"Yahi ki hamne yaha aane ka itna bada kast kyo kiya hoga.?" Inspector ne ajeeb bhaav se kaha___"Waise itna to aap bhi samajhti hi hongi ki ham yaha aapse sirf hello haye karne to aaye nahi honge to fir bataiye kya lagta hai aapko.?"

"Mujhe nahi pata." Mrs babita ko inspector ka ye sawaal aur uska lahja zara bhi pasand nahi aaya tha. Fir bhi apne andar ke bhaavo ko chehre par ujaagar hone se bachate huye namrata se kaha____"Aap khud hi bata de to meharbaani hogi."

"Meharbaani to ham zarur karenge mrs babuta ji magar." Inspector ne khaas andaaz se kaha___"Magar shart ye hai ki badle me aapko bhi ham par meharbaani karni hogi."

"Main bhala aap par kya meharbaani karugi.?" Mrs babita ne chaunkte huye kaha____"Dekhiye saaf saaf kahiye jo bhi kahna hai aapko. Yu baato ko gol gol ghuma kar baat mat kijiye mujhse."

"Thik hai jaisi aapki marzi." Inspector ne kandhe uchkaate huye kaha____"Jaha tak mera khayaal hai to aapne ab tak apne us kirayedaar ko yaha se futaas ki goli de di hogi, ye kah kar ki aise insaan ko ab aap apne ghar ke aas paas bhi dekhna pasand nahi karengi aur wo bechara futaas ki goli kha kar yaha se nikal bhi liya hoga. Marta kya na karta waali haalat jo thi uski. Agar nahi jata to fir se aapke dwara lockup me pahuch jata. Maine thik farmaya na mrs babita ji.?"

"Main us neech aadmi ke bare me baat nahi karna chaahti inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne is baar zara teekhe lahje me kaha____"Aur behtar hoga ki aap bhi uske bare me mujhse koi baat na kare."

"Kaise na kare mrs babita ji.?" Inspector ne jaise aah si bhari____"Der se hi sahi magar hame ye bhi samajh aaya ki itna maar khane ke baad bhi wo namuraad ye kyo nahi kabool kar raha tha ki us par jo aarop aap logo ne lagaye the wo 100% sach hai.?"

"Kahna kya chaahte hain aap.?" Mrs babita ki peshaani par bal pada, boli____"Kya ab aap ye soch rahe hain ki wo neech insaan begunaah tha aur hamne us par bewajah jhutha ilzaam lagaya.? Aisa sochna bhi mat inspector sahab. Ham koi aire gaire pariwar se nahi hain. Ye ijjatdaar logo ka ghar hai jo yu hi bewajah apni hi ijjat ko samaaj ke saamne uchhaal kar apna sukh chain nahi barbaad kar dega."

"Yahi to pench hai babita ji." Inspector ne aise muh banaya jaise us par koi bhaari musibat aa gayi ho aur wo usse behad aahat ho gaya ho, bola____"Aap kahti hain ki usne aapke yaha chori ki aur aapki bahu komal ji ke sath zor zabardasti bhi ki jabki wo namuraad hamare dwara di gayi itni yaatnaao ke baad bhi yahi raag alaapta raha ki usne kuch bhi nahi kiya. Yaani ki na to usne chori ki aur na hi usne komal ji ke sath koi zor zabardasti ki hai. Maar se to bhoot bhi darte hain babita ji. Police ki maar se achhe achhe apna muh faad dete hain aur aisa bhi hota hai ki jo log jurm nahi bhi kiye hote wo bhi maar ke dar se bolne lagte hain ki haan unhone fala jurm kiya hai. Magar wo namuraad maar khata raha...magar us kambakht ne pal bhar ke liye bhi ye kabool nahi kiya ki usne koi galat kaam kiya tha. Mana ki use saza mili aur usne puri saza kaat li. Yaha tak ki aaj wo apni saza kaat ke bari bhi ho gaya magar hamare saamne sawaal to chhod gaya na ki jab usne kuch nahi kiya to kisne kiya.? Aapke yaha kisne chori ki aur komal ji ke sath kisne zor zabardasti ki aur kisne use fasaya.?"

"Ohh to matlab agar us neech aadmi ne apna jurm kabool nahi kiya to." Mrs babita bol padi___"Ab aap ye kah rahe hain ki hamne use jhuth muth ka ilzaam laga kar aapke hawale kiya tha.?"

"Maine aisa kab kaha babita ji.?" Inspector ne apne kandho ko uchkaate huye kaha____"Main to wo bata raha hu aapko jo hua hai aur jo kuch hone ke baad ab samajh aa raha hai. Maan lijiye ki aap apni jagah sahi hain aur aapke ilzaam bhi apni jagah sahi hain...usi tarah ye bhi maan lijiye ki wo avinash bhi apni jagah sahi hai to sawaal ye hai ki aisi ghinauni waardaat ko anjaam kisne diya.? Aapko apni badnaami kara ke kya mil gaya aur use bhi apni badnaami aur durgati kara ke aur to aur saza kaat ke bhi kya mil gaya.?"

"Aap na jane kya kya anaap shanaap bole ja rahe hain inspector sahab." Sahsa is baar mrs babita ki bahu komal teekhe lahje me bol padi____"Jab ki sachchaayi ye hai ki us kamine ne meri aalmaari se paise aur gahne jewar churaye aur mere sath zor zabardasti kar ke meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki thi aur ye baat main bewajah apni aur apne pariwar ki ijjat uchhalne ke uddesya se nahi kah rahi hu balki ye hakikat hai aur meri saasu maa is baat ko achhi tarah jaanti hain. Us raat jab wo kameena mere sath zor zabardasti kar raha tha tab maine shor machaya tha aur meri cheekhe sun kar meri saasu maa apne kamre se bhaagte huye mere kamre me aayi thi aur unhone apni aankho se sab kuch dekha tha. Ab aap bataiye kya main aur meri saasu maa jhooth muth ka uske upar ilzaam lagaayi thi. Us kameene ka kya bigad gaya jabki ham to pure samaaj me badnaam ho ke rah gaye. Kya ye sab bhi jhooth hai.?"

Komal ki baato se kuch der ke liye waha par maano khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector bade gaur se uski baate sun raha tha aur uske chehre par ubharte bhaavo ko read kar raha tha. Use kahi se bhi ek pal ke liye bhi mahsoos nahi hua ki wo jhuth muth ki kahani gadh rahi hai. Uske chehre ke bhaav aur uske aanshu saaf saaf bata rahe the ki wo sach kah rahi thi. Inspector ko samajh na aaya ki wo in sab baato par kya faisla kare.

"Ek kaam kijiye komal ji." Inspector ne gahri saans lene ke baad komal se kaha____"Aap apne tarike se mujhe puri kahani bataiye."
"Ye koi mazaak hai kya inspector sahab.?" Mrs babita ne narazgi se kaha____"Ya ye koi dilchasp kissa hai jise aap baar baar sun kar uska lutf uthana chaahte hain. Jabki maine khud shuruaat me hi aapko sab kuch bata diya tha."

"Aapne bataya tha to maine use giraftaar bhi to kiya tha mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kaha_____"Aur itna hi nahi uske sath waisa hi sulook kiya jaisa kisi mujrim ke sath kiya jata hai magar ab halaat badal gaye hain. Halaato ne mujhe ye sochne par majbur kar diya hai ki usne apne jurm ka ikbaal kyo nahi kiya.? Police ki itni dardnaak maar aur maheeno ki kaid sahna usne gawara kar liya magar wo kabool nahi kiya jiske liye use itna kuch bhogna pada. Aakhir kyo babita ji.? Chaliye maan lete hain ki wo koi ziddi nature ka tha ya koi uski majburi rahi hogi magar sawaal to hai na ki aisi kya majburi thi.? Jab tak in sawaalo ka sahi sahi jawaab nahi milega tab tak na mujhe chain milega aur na hi aapko.?"

"Hame kyo chain nahi milega inspector.?" Mrs babita ki aankhe faili____"Waise thik hi kaha aapne. Chain waakayi me nahi milega hame. Jis tarah ka apraadh usne kiya tha uske liye ye saza bahut hi kam rahi. Mera bas chalta to goli maar deti use. Tabhi shayad chain milta hame."

"Nazariye ki baat hai babita ji." Inspector ne halki muskaan ke sath kaha_____"Zara ek baar is nazariye se sochiye ki goli maarne ke baad jab aapko pata chalta ki usne to waisa koi apraadh kiya hi nahi tha jiske liye aapne use goli maar di tab kya aap use waapas zinda kar deti.? Hargiz nahi...tab aap kuch nahi kar paati balki hota ye ki ek begunaah ki hatya ka bojh saari zindagi aapko chain se jeene nahi deta."

"Baato ka jaal bunne ka koi faayda nahi hai inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne kaha_____"Kyo ki sachchaayi to hame pata hi hai ki kya hai. Iske pahle to aisi koi soch aapke man me nahi aayi thi magar ab uske dwara ikbaale jurm na kiye jane se aap jane kya kya soche ja rahe hain."

"Ham police wale hain babita ji." Inspector ne muskurate huye kaha____"Aur hame aisa bana diya jata hai ki ham do cheezo ke sabse zyada aadi ho jate hain. Ek shak karne ke aur dusre sochne ke. Khair chhodiye mujhe komal ji ke mukh se sunna hai ki kya hua tha us raat. Ya fir waha se bataiye jaha se avinash ki entry aapke ghar me huyi thi."

Inspector ki baat par komal ne apni saas mrs babita ki taraf dekha. Mrs babita se apni palke jhapka kar maano ijazat de di. Saas ki ijazat milne ke baad komal ne ek gahri saans li aur fir bolna shuru kiya.

<>•<>•<>

"Do maheene pahle wo hamare yaha kiraye se rahne aaya tha." Komal ne is tarah bolna shuru kiya maano uski aankho ke saamne do maheene pahle se ab tak ki koi video film chalne lagi ho, jise dekh dekh kar wo uska ek ek scene bata rahi ho, boli____"Mera to usse koi matlab rakhne ka sawaal hi nahi tha. Usne maa ji se hi baat ki thi kiraye se ek kamra lene ke liye. Is ghar me main aur saasu maa hi rahte hain. Maa ji ne usse uske bare me thodi bahut maalumaat ki aur use kiraye se ek kamra de diya jo ki second floor par tha. Upar ke floor me jane ke liye baahar wale gate ke andar se hi seedhiya thi jabki dusri seedhiya is taraf se bhi thi. Ye sach hai ki do chaar din me hi hame ye samajh aane laga tha ki ham jis ajnabi aur gair mard ke yaha rahne se thoda khud ko asahaj mahsoos karne lage the wo aisa waisa type ka nahi hai. Kahne ka matlab ye ki wo bhale hi yaha rahta tha magar khud kisi se koi baat nahi karta tha. Subah aath baje wo apne kisi kaam se chala jata tha aur fir raat aath ya saadhe aath baje waapas aa kar upar apne kamre me chala jata tha. Ham dono isse sahaj to huye magar man me uske prati shak abhi bhi tha is liye ham uske yaha rahne par raat me satark rahti thi. Aise hi das din guzar gaye. Ek din maa ji ne mujhse kaha ki lagta hai ham bekaar me hi us bechare par shak kar rahe hain jabki usme aisi waisi to koi baat nazar nahi aa rahi. Khair agle din maa ji ne subah hi usse baat ki aur kaha ki aaj ghar me puja hai to wo raat ka khana hamare sath hi khaye. Usne maa ji ke prastaav ko sun kar pahle to ye kah kar thukra diya ki wo hamesha baahar hi khana khata hai aur kisi se na zyada baat karta hai aur na hi kisi se ghulna milna pasand karta hai. Uski is baat se maa ji ko laga wo bekaar me hi us par itne dino se shak kar rahi thi jabki in das dino me usne ek baar bhi ham dono saas bahu ko nazar utha kar nahi dekha tha. Khair maa ji ke zor dene par aakhir use maa ji ka khane ka prastaav accept karna hi pada."

Komal ne ekdam se bolna band kar diya to ek baar fir se waha par khamoshi chha gayi. Inspector dushyant aur hawaldaar bhanu bade gaur se uski baate sun rahe the. Jab komal ne bolna band kar diya to utsuktawas bhanu puch hi baitha ki aage kya hua.?

"Raat me wo hamesha ki tarah apne time par hi waapas aaya." Bhanu ke puchhne par komal ne lambi saans kheenchte huye kaha_____"Main aur saasu maa uske aane ka hi intzaar kar rahe the. Jab wo aaya to maa ji ne usse kaha ki wo fresh ho kar aaye, uske baad ham sab sath me hi khana khayege. Maa ji ki baat sun kar usne bas 'Ji' kaha aur upar apne kamre ki taraf chala gaya. Idhar maine sab kuch intjaam karke dining table par saja diya tha. Kareeb das minute baad wo upar se aaya to maa ji ne use dining table ke left side baithne ko kaha to wo chup chaap baith gaya. Maa ji front ki chair par baithi huyi thi aur main unke right side wali chair par baith gayi. Ek tarah se ab main us shakhs ke saamne hi thi. Khair maa ji ne khud apne hatho se uski thaali me khane ke alag alag byanjan parose. Jab sabki thaali me khana lag gaya to ham sabne khana shuru kiya. Main uski taraf nahi dekhna chaahti thi kyo ki ek to mujhe uncomfortable feel ho raha tha dusre main nahi chaahti thi ki uski taraf dekhne se wo ya maa ji mere bare me kuch alag tarah se sochne lage. Aakhir meri aur uski umar me zyada fark bhi to nahi tha, dusre main ek aisi shadi shuda aurat thi jiska pati pichhle ek saal se india ke baahar tha. Khair khane ke dauraan maa ji ne hi usse uske bare me thoda bahut normaly puchna shuru kiya. Jaise wo pahle kaha rahta tha, kya kaam karta tha aur uski apni family me kaun kaun hain. Maa ji ke sare sawaalo ko usne bas short me hi jawaab diya ki wo pahle kaha rahta tha aur kya kaam karta tha. Wo kisi company me mechanic tha. Family ke bare me usne yahi bataya tha ki uska is duniya me koi nahi hai." Komal saans lene ke liye ruki to ek baar fir se fiza me khamoshi chha gayi.

"Uska khamosh rahna kisi ko bhi ye sochne par majbur kar sakta tha ki uski khamoshi ke peechhe koi badi vajah zarur hai." Komal ne saans lene ke baad fir se bolna shuru kiya_____"Maa ji ko bhi use dekh kar yahi laga tha aur unhone usse is bare me puchha bhi magar usne yahi kaha ki uski khamoshi ke pichhe koi vajah nahi hai balki uska swabhaav hi aisa hai. Aisa nahi tha ki usme koi khaas baat nahi thi..balki wo aisa tha ki uski har baat khaas thi jo uske bare me sochne par majbur karti thi. Wo dikhne me gora chittha tha, kad kaathi achhi thi aur koi bhi ladki use dekh kar yahi sochti ki kaash usse uski shadi ho jaye. Uski khamoshi to thi hi uski khaas vajah aur uska kisi se bhi na ghulne milne ki baat bhi khaas hi thi. Bhala duniya me itna vichitra type ka insaan kaun hoga jo aise nature ke sath sahajta se logo ke bich rah pata ho.? Khair us raat wo khana kha kar chala gaya magar sath hi hamare andar se wo aakhiri asahjta bhi door kar gaya jo uske pahle shesh bachi thi. Is baat ka asar ye hua ki dusre din se maa ji aksar usse uska haal chaal puchne lagi. Is liye nahi ki unke andar ab uske prati koi shanka thi balki is liye ki wo ye samajhne lagi thi ki wo bhale hi chaahe selfish nature ka ho aur kisi se baat karna pasand na karta ho magar insaan bura nahi tha aur na hi uske dwara hame koi khatra tha. Shuruaat me maa ji ke dwara is tarah haal chaal puchhne par shayad use pareshani huyi thi magar fir wo bhi dhire dhire maa ji se baat cheet karne laga tha. Haan uski koshish yahi rahti thi ki uska saamna maa ji se ya mujhse na ho magar maa ji se uska saamna ho hi jata tha. Aise hi do maheene guzar gaye. In do maheeno me wo hamare ghar ke sadasya ki tarah ho gaya tha. Halaaki wo ab bhi ham logo se zyada baat nahi karta tha magar ab itna fark to aa hi gaya tha ki ham us par puri tarah bharosa karne lage the aur usse kisi tarah ka khatra hone ka sochte bhi nahi the. Maa ji ke kahne par wo hamre general kaam bhi kar diya karta tha. Sabse badi baat aur hairaani ki baat to ye thi ki agar kisi vajah se usse mera saamna hota tha aur use bolna padta tha to wo mujhe bhabhi maa kahta tha jabki uski aur meri umar me zyada fark nahi tha. Bhabhi bolna galat ya ajeeb nahi tha magar bhabhi maa bolna thoda ajeeb lagta tha magar maine ya maa ji ne use iske liye kabhi kuch nahi kaha." Komal ek baar fir se saans lene ke liye ruk gayi to inspector dushyant ne gahri saans li. Andaaz aisa tha jaise kuch kahne wala tha aur kaha bhi usne.

"Chaliye ye sab to thik hai komal ji." Inspector ne kaha____"Ab zara us raat ke bare me bataiye jis raat wo waardaat huyi thi."

"Mera kamra ground floor par hi maa ji ke kamre ke right side me tha." Komal ne batana shuru kiya____"Har roz ki tarah main aur maa ji apne apne kamre me soye huye the. Pichhle do din se meri tabiyat kuch kharaab thi is vajah se maa ji raat me kayi baar mujhe dekhne ke liye mere kamre me aati rahti thi, is vajah se main apne kamre ka darwaja andar se kundi laga kar band nahi karti thi. Dusri baat ab avinash ko kyo ki ham apne ghar ka sadasya hi maanne lage the to ham na to ab usse kisi tarah ka khatra mahsoos karte the aur na hi hame koi ummid thi ki wo aisa waisa kuch karega. Main gate ke paas se upar jane ke liye seedhiya thi aur main gate se andar ki taraf aane ke liye koi baadha bhi nahi thi kyo ki andar ki taraf ka raasta khula hi tha. Aapne dekha hi hoga ki main gate se andar aane ke baad fir koi darwaja nahi hai balki ek chhota sa baraamda hai uske baad ek chhota sa hall. Khair us raat main apne kamre me dawa kha ke soyi huyi thi. Mujhe nahi pata ki us wakt mere kamre me kaun aaya aur meri aalmaari khol kar uske andar ke locker se mere paise aur mere sare gahne jewar le gaya. Magar jab mujhe apne jism par kuch rengta hua feel hua to meri aankh khul gayi. Pahle to mujhe kuch samajh na aaya magar night bulb ki roshni me jaise hi meri nazar avinash par padi to main buri tarah dar gayi aur ghabra kar cheekhne hi wali thi ki usne bijli ki si tezi se apne ek hath ki hatheli kisi pressure cooker ke dhakkan ki tarah mere muh par rakh di aur dusre hath se zor de kar mujhe bed par majbuti se dhakel diya. Uski is harkat se meri ghigghi bandh gayi thi. Maare dahshat ke mera bura haal ho gaya tha. Mukh se goon goon ki awaaze nikal rahi thi aur chehra palak jhapakte hi paseene se tar batar ho gaya tha. Jabki wo kameena lagataar mere muh me apni hatheli dabaye mere upar chadhta hi chala ja raha tha. Kuch hi palo me usne apni dono taango se meri un taango ko daba liya jinhe chhatpatate huye main patke ja rahi thi aur fir wo jhuka aur mere pet ke paas sikudi saadi ko muh me daba kar alag karne laga. Idhar main apne dono hatho se uske baal nochne me lagi thi magar wo fir bhi nahi ruk raha tha. Bhay ke mare mera bura haal tha aur meri aankho se aanshu chhalak pade the. Main zor zor se cheekhna chaahti thi magar mera muh shakhti se uski hatheli ke niche daba hua tha. Jab wo kisi bhi tarah se mere zor dene par na ruka to maine uske baalo ko mutthi me pakad kar puri taakat se kheecha jisse uski pakad dheeli pad gayi aur usne apne mukh se meri saadi ko chhod kar aur sir utha kar meri taraf dekha. Uski aankho me darindagi dekh kar meri cheekh nikal gayi. Mere muh se uski hatheli hat gayi thi is liye meri cheekh maa ji ke kaano tak pahuch gayi. Idhar main cheekhte huye maa ji ko pukaarti hi rahi. Kamre ke baahar se jaise hi usne maa ji ki awaaz suni to wo jaldi se mere upar se hat kar bed se niche utra aur darwaje ki taraf bhaga magar tabhi darwaza khula aur maa ji kamre me aa gayi aur usse takra gayi. Takkar shayad zor ki thi tabhi to maa ji pichhe darwaze se takra gayi thi magar iske baad bhi unhone saaf dekha ki wo avinash tha jo unse takra kar darwaze se baahar bhaga tha. Idhar uske bhaagte hi main bhi bed se niche aa kar rote huye maa ji se kahne lagi thi ki us kameene ne meri ijjat lootne ki koshish ki hai. Bad-hawaashi ki haalat me maa ji ne mujhe kisi tarah samhala aur mujhe kamre me hi rukne ka bol kar ye kahte huye avinash ke kamre ki taraf teji se gayi ki uski himmat kaise huyi meri bahu ke sath aisi ghatiya harkat karne ki. Abhi police ke hawale karti hu use."

Komal ek baar fir se chup huyi to khamoshi chha gayi. Idhar inspector dushyant komal ki saari baato ke bare me sochne laga tha magar fir jald hi usne komal ki taraf dekhte huye pucha____"Uske baad kya hua.?"

"Apni bahu ke sath uske dwara ki gayi is harkat se main gusse se paagal ho gayi thi." Inspector ke puchhne par komal ki jagah jawaab dene ki kamaan jaise mrs babita ne samhaal li, boli____"Use maine apne bete ki tarah samjha aur use apne ghar ka ek sadasya mana magar usne mere bharose ka khoon kiya aur mere ghar ki ijjat par hath dala tha. Is liye gusse se paglaayi huyi jab main uske piche teji se jate hue uske kamre ke darwaje par pahuchi to dekha darwaja band tha. Maine gusse se kamre ke darwaje ko dhakka diya to wo teji se khula aur dono taraf ki diwaaro se takraya. Kamre ke andar aa kar maine dekha kamre ke bicho beech wo kameena farsh par hi dusri taraf ko chehra kiye leta hua tha tha. Main ye dekh kar aur bhi gusse se pagla gayi ki kaise ye kameena meri bahu ke sath wo ghatiya harkat kar ke yaha chain se leta hua hai. Maine aav dekha na taav aage badh kar zor se ek laat uski peeth par maari to wo hadbada kar uth ke baith gaya. Uske sir ke baal waise hi bikhre huye the jaise meri bahu ne kheech kar bikhere the. Jaise hi uski nazar mujh par padi to wo buri tarah chaunka aur ghabra bhi gaya. Main itne gusse me thi ki jaise hi wo uth kar baitha main us par chadh daudi aur laat ghuso par rakh liya use. Wo kya kah raha tha main ye nahi sun rahi thi balki laat ghuso ke sath ye kahti ja rahi thi ki kameene maine tujhe apne bete ki tarah samjha aur apne ghar ka sadasya maana aur tune kya kiya.? Meri bahu aur apni bhabhi maa ki ijjat par hath dala. Abhi main ye sab usse kahti huyi us par laat ghuse barsa hi rahi thi ki tabhi meri bahu komal bhi waha aa gayi aur wo rote huye mujhe kheech kar kamre se baahar le jane lagi. Maine kamre se baahar aa kar kundi laga di, ye soch kar ki kahi wo bhaag na jaye yaha se. Apni bahu ke sath niche aa kar maine police station me aapko phone kar diya. Uske baad kya hua ye aapko pata hai."

"Haan pata hai mrs babita ji." Inspector ne kuch sochte huye gahri saans li fir bola____"Uske baad aapne police station me call karke hame bulaya. Main apne kuch police shipahiyo ko le kar aapke ghar aaya aur aapse uske bare me pucha to aapne mujhe bataya ki aapne use kamre ke andar baahar se darwaje ki kundi laga ke band kar rakha hai." Kahne ke sath hi inspector thodi der ke liye ruka.

"Mujhe achhi tarah yaad hai." Inspector ne kahi khoye huye se andaaz me kaha____"Ki aapke dwara bataye jane par main upar uske kamre me gaya aur dekha ki wo kamre me saamne wali diwaar se sata hua farsh par baitha tha. Ab kyo ki us wakt situation aisi thi ki aapki tarah main bhi use dekh kar aur ye soch kar gusse me aa gaya tha ki usne aapki bau ke sath aisi ghinauni harkat ki thi is liye us gusse me maine bhi use laat ghuso me dhar liya. Wo dard se karaha aur chillaya bhi. Puchne par jab usne ye kaha ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki so raha tha to us wakt ki situation ke anusaar maine use fir se do chaar thappad lagaya. Is beech mere sath aaye mere shipahiyo ne kamre ki talaashi li to uske bag se dher sare paise aur gahne jewar mile jinhe dekh kar aapne kaha ki ye paise aur gahne jewar to aapki bahu ke hain. Fir kya tha ek to waisi ghatiya harkat dusre chori ke us maamle ne uski achhi khaasi kutaayi karwane me koi kasar nahi chhodi. Ham use pakad kar seedha thaane le aaye aur fir thane par bhi uske sath wahi kissa."

"Hamare sahab ji ke dwara." Inspector saans lene ke liye ruka to bagal se baitha hawaldaar bhanu bich me bol pada_____"Itni kutaayi ke baad bhi wo kambakht yahi bolta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya aur ant tak yahi bolta raha. Aaj bhi jab wo riha ho ke ja raha tha to hamne usse puchha tha ki ab to bata de bhai kya tune wo sab kiya tha magar usne fiki muskaan ke sath yahi kaha ki wo zindagi bhar yahi kahega ki usne kuch nahi kiya balki wo begunaah tha aur use bewajah fasaya gaya tha."

"Riha hone ke baad bade se bada mujrim kanoon ki aankho me dekh kar muskurate huye kabhi kabhi ye kah jata hai." Inspector ne kaha_____"Ki gunaah usi ne kiya tha magar kanoon uska kuch nahi bigaad paya. Aap khud sochiye babita ji ki agar avinash riha hone ke baad kabool bhi kar leta to uska ham kya kar lete.? Kyo ki jis jurm ki use saza huyi thi us saza ko to wo kaat hi chuka tha. Ab aisa to hai nahi ki kanoon use baar baar ek baar kiye gaye jurm ke liye saza deta. Matlab saaf hai ki wo apni jagah sahi tha. Ab sawaal ye hai ki agar wo sahi hai to us raat jo kuch bhi hua wo kisne kiya.?"

Inspector ke chup hote hi waha par blood ki dhaar ki maanind sannata chha gaya. Mrs babita aur unki bahu komal ke chehre par kayi tarah ke bhaav aate jate nazar aa rahe the jinhe inspector badi baariki se read karne ki koshish kar raha tha.

"Khair chhodiye." Inspector dono saas bahu ko kuch na bolte dekh bol pada_____"Mujhe ek baar fir se us kamre ka muaayna karna hai jis kamre me wo rahta tha. Agar aapko koi aitraaz na ho to main us kamre me ja kar waha ka muaayna kar lu.?"

Inspector ke aisa kahne par mrs babita ne mook sahmati de di use. Sahmati milte hi inspector dushyant sofe se uth kar khada ho gaya. Uske khada hote hi hawaldaar bhanu bhi jhatke se khada ho gaya.

"Aap chaahe to hamare sath us kamre me chal sakti hain." Inspector ne mrs babita ki taraf dekhte huye kaha jis par mrs babita ne jane se mana kar diya.

Inspector dushyant apne hawaldaar ke sath upar us kamre me pahucha jis kamre me avinash rahta tha. Dushyant ne dekha ki kamra puri tarah se khaali tha. Koi bhi samaan ya wastu waha par nahi thi. Hoti bhi kaise..? Avinash ke paas apna jo samaan tha wo uske apne kapde aur kuch zaruri cheeze thi jo ek maamuli se bag me hi aa jati thi. Kamre ke farsh par wah bina kuch bichhaye hi sota tha is liye bed wagaira bhi nahi tha.

Kamre me ek khidki thi jo ki pichhe ki taraf thi aur usme lohe ki jaalinuma khidki lagi thi. Inspector ne kuch der kamre me idhar udhar dekha aur fir kamre se baahar aa gaya. Kamre ke baahar aa kar wo first floor par jane wali seedhiyo ki taraf aaya aur fir seedhiyo se upar chadhta chala gaya. Seedhi ke antim chhor par ek lohe ka darwaza tha jo ki is wakt andar se band tha. Dushyant ne darwaja khola aur bhanu ke sath chhat par aa gaya. Lambe chaude chhat par teen fit uchi boundary thi. Dushyant chaaro taraf ki boundary me ja ja kar achhe se muaayna karne laga. Wo boundary ke baahar bhi nazar daalta ja raha. Khaas kar us taraf jis taraf sadak thi. Kafi der tak wo yu hi jane kya kya check karta raha uske baad wo bhanu ke sath waapas niche aa gaya.

"Kamre ka muaayna kar liya aapne.?" Inspector ko waapas aaya dekh mrs babita ne kaha____"Waise kya aap batayege ki kis cheez ka muaayna kar rahe the aap.? Kahi aisa to nahi ki aapke dimaag me khayaal aaya ho ki us raat koi dusra insaan baahar se yaha aaya aur usne wo sab kiya aur fir apna sara kuch kiya dhara aapke kathit begunaah insaan avinash ke sir par daal kar gayab ho gaya.?"

"Kamaal hai." Inspector mrs babita ki baat par muskuraye bagair na rah saka, bola_____"Aapne to jaise mere dimaag ka operation hi kar diya. Aapko to police department me hona chahiye tha."

"Baate mat banaao inspector sahab." Mrs babita ne sapaat bhaav se kaha_____"Agar aapke dimaag me wahi khayaal aaya hai jiska ki maine zikra kiya hai to aapka khayaal sarasar galat hai. Kyo ki na main andhi thi aur na hi meri bahu. Ham dono ne saaf dekha tha ki wo avinash hi tha jisne wo sab kiya tha. Rahi baat uske kabool na karne ki to pench us me hai ham me nahi aur haan ab mujhe lagta hai ki aapko yaha se jana chahiye. Main nahi chaahti ki mere ghar me police walo ki itni der tak maujudgi mere liye aisi ho jaye jiski vajah se aas pados wale hamse nazre bhi milana pasand na kare."

"Mrs babita." Inspector dushyant ke chehre par naagwari bhare bhaav ubhre_____"Aap to aise kah rahi hain jaise police koi aisi cheez hai jise chhoot ki bimari hoti hai aur uske aapke yaha rahne se aapko bhi bimari lag jayegi. Main pure ijjat samman ke sath aapse baate kar raha hu magar aapka bartaav nihayat hi ghatiya kism ka hai. Aapke sath jo kuch bhi hua uske liye hamne use wahi saza dilwaayi jo aise apraadh ki hoti hai. Meri ek baat dhyaan se sun lijiye ki bhale hi ab wo case rafa dafa ho gaya hai magar main is baat ka pata laga ke rahuga ki jis insaan ke upar aapne sangeen arop laga kar use saza dilwaayi us insaan ne aakhir tak ye kyo kahta raha ki usne kuch nahi kiya.?"

Inspector ka lahja eka ek shakht ho gaya tha. Ye dekh kar hawaldaar bhanu ne usse chalne ke liye kaha to wo dono saas bahu ko baari baari se dekh kar ghar se baahar ki taraf badhta chala gaya.

Behad hi shandar or jabardast update

 

[Punnu]

BEGUNAAH
Update - 03​

Dusre din avinash taiyaar ho kar apne kamre se baahar nikla aur darwaze par lock laga kar seedhiyo se niche aa gaya. Abhi wo gate ke paas hi pahucha tha ki pichhe se uske makaan maalik mahesh ki awaaz uske kaano me padi aur use ruk jana pada. Halaaki is wakt use kisi ke dwara awaaz de kar rok dena bilkul bhi pasand nahi aaya tha magar naya naya tha yaha is liye wo nahi chaahta tha ki uske kisi galat bartaav se fauran hi use yaha se kamra khaali kar ke jana pade. Kyo ki itna jaldi use kahi par bhi kamra milne wala nahi tha.

"Maaf karna avinash beta." Peechhe se aate huye mahesh ne khed bhare bhaav se kaha____"Tum kahi ja rahe the to mujhe is tarah tumhe rokna nahi chahiye tha magar roka is liye ki main chaahta hu ki subah ki chaay to kam se kam mere sath pite jaao. Dekho beta tumhe jo achha lage wo karo magar yaha ho to kahi na kahi insaan ko apni insaaniyat ka bhi khayaal rakhna chahiye. Khane pine ke maamle ko to tumne kal hi bata diya tha ki tumhe baahar ka hi pasand hai magar ek wakt ki chaay agar tum apne is chacha ke sath pi loge to mujhe bhi achha lagega."

"Ji shukriya." Avinash ne beman se kaha aur uske pichhe andar ki taraf aa gaya. Andar jo chhota sa hall tha wahi par rakhi chairs me se ek par mahesh ne avinash ko baithne ka ishara kiya aur khud bhi ek dusri chair par baith gaya.

Kuch hi der me mahesh ki dusri biwi gayatri andar kitchen se aayi aur usne un dono ko chaay di. Chaay ki do teen chuskiyo tak sabke bich khamoshi hi rahi. Avinash to khud kuch bolne wala nahi tha jabki mahesh uske chehre ki taraf dekhne ke baad kuch kahne ka man banaya.

"Waise avinash beta." Mahesh ne badi shaalinta aur pyar se kaha_____"Agar tum chaaho to dono wakt ka khana yahi kha sakte ho. Dekho kya hai ki ek to baahar ka khana sehat ke liye thik nahi hota aur dusre baahar ke khane me ghar jaisa swaad aur aanand bhi nahi milta. To tum jo paisa baahar ke khane par dete ho wo hame diye jana. Ye samajh lo ki ye bhi ek dhaba hi hai. Dekho main aisa is liye kah raha hu ki main tumhe apne bete ki tarah samajhta hu. Bhale hi tum abhi naye naye yaha aaye ho aur ham tumhare bare me zyada kuch nahi jante magar jaan pahchaan ka kya hai wo to hoti hi rahegi magar jo zarurat ki cheeze hain aur sehat ke liye achhi hain uske bare me baat karna galat to nahi hai na.?"

"Aap bewajah takalluf kar rahe hain chacha ji." Avinash ne khaali cup ek taraf rakhne ke baad kaha____"Maine aapko pahle hi bata diya hai ki mujhe baahar ka hi khana pasand hai, fir chaahe wo jaisa bhi ho. Khair main samajh sakta hu ki aap ye sab mere achhe ke liye aur meri achhi sehat ke liye hi kah rahe hain magar jis cheez ke liye mera zameer hi ijazat nahi deta wo main kaise kar sakta hu.? Aapne mere liye itna kuch socha uske liye aapka bahut bahut shukriya magar plz kisi bhi baat ke liye aap mujhe majbur mat kijiye. Main aapke yaha ek kirayedaar hu to aap mujhse usi hisaab se talluk rakhiye. Kisi prakaar ka rishta bana kar moh badhane ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Aapko meri ye baate zara bhi pasand nahi aayengi ye main jaanta hu magar ye bhi jaan lijiye ki main aisa hi hu. Main kisi ke dil ko thes nahi pahuchana chaahta. Main bas ye chaahta hu ki koi mujh par daya na dikhaye aur na hi mujhse koi matlab rakhe....achha chalta hu ab."

Avinash kya kya kah gaya tha is bare me mahesh aur uski biwi gayatri ko bhi samajh nahi aaya tha. Wo dono to bas aankhe aur muh faade hairat se uski taraf dekhte rah gaye the. Hosh tab aaya jab avinash waha se chala gaya tha.

"Kaisa ajeeb insaan hai ye.?" Mahesh ne apni biwi ki taraf dekhte huye hairaani se kaha____"Kya maine kuch galat kah diya tha use.?"

"Aapne kuch bhi galat nahi kaha." Gayatri ne zara teekhe lahje se kaha____"Magar shayad use hamare prem byohaar ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Dekha nahi kya aapne...kaise besharmo ki tarah anaap shanaap bolta ja raha tha. Bhalaayi ka to zamana hi nahi raha. Kaise kaise log hain duniya me.?"

Mahesh me apni biwi ki baato ka koi jawaab nahi diya balki wo to abhi bhi khamoshi se apne kaano me goonjti avinaash ki baato ko mahsus kar raha tha.

Udhar avinash ghar se nikalne ke baad sadak par paidal hi chalne laga tha. Kafi door chalne ke baad jab wo main sadak par aaya to use ek auto mil gaya. Aurto me baith kar wo us jagah pahucha jaha par wo pahle kaam karta tha.

Factory ka maalik koi pachaas ke upar ki umar ka tha. Factory me auto parts ko saste daamo me khareed kar laya jata tha aur jo parts sahi hote unhe repair karke aur badhiya se chamka kar waapas local market me bech diya jata tha. Avinash yaha par mechanic tha. Paanch maheene pahle wo yaha par kaam karne aaya tha. Kuch hi dino me wo apne kaam se sabko prabhaavit kiya tha. Uske kaam karne ki speed aur baariki kafi achhi thi. Khair teen maheene tak to thik thaak raha magar do maheene pahle use police dwara jail me band kar diya gaya tha. Jiska vivran upar bataya ja chuka hai.

Avinash jab factory ke andar pahucha to apne sheth ko is taraf hi aate dekh wo apni jagah par ruk gaya. Factory ke baaki workers avinash ko dekh kar hairaan bhi the aur khush bhi. Haalaki kisi bhi workers se wo zyada baat nahi karta tha magar haan aisa bhi nahi tha ki unse uske kharaab taallukaat the.

Sheth ki nazar jaise hi avinash par padi to wo bhi apni jagah par ruk gaya. Mota thulthul sa aadmi tha wo. Kaale kalute maathe par teen dhaariyo wala safed chandan laga rakha tha usne. Mote jism par safed libaas aur gale me lambi si mala. Sir par ek bhi baal nahi. Jaise ujde chaman ka wo ek udaahran ho.

"Are tum idhar kab aaya saayi.?" Sheth uski taraf dekh kar bola___"Pata chala ki tumko police pakad kar le gayi thi. Are tumne kaun sa lafda kiya tha saayi ki tumere ko police pakad ke le gayi thi.?"

"Kya aapko lagta hai sheth.?" Avinash ne thoda narm lahje me kaha____"Ki maine koi lafda kiya hoga. Wo kya hai na sheth jiske aage pichhe koi nahi hota na use ye duniya wale aise hi thokaro par rakhti hai."

"Aree baba tum fir se na apna dukhda rone lag jana." Sheth bol pada____"Tum achhi tarah janta saayi ki ham jab bhi kisi ka dukhda sunta to mere ko rona aa jata. Bhool ja baba...aur ja kaam pe lag ja."

Sheth ki baat sun kar avinash ke chehre par raahat ke bhaav ubhre aur wo apni jagah par ja kar kaam karne laga. Sheth ne uski taraf ek nazar dekha aur bahar ki taraf chala gaya. Sheth ke jane ke baad workers dheele pad gaye aur kuch to avinash se uske jail jane ke bare me puchne lage jiska jawaab usne yahi diya ki use bewajah fasaya gaya tha.

Inspector dushyant ne apne muh lage hawaldaar ki taraf dekha to uska chehra latka hua paya. Ye dekh kar wo chaunka aur fir usse puch baitha____"Kya hua pyare.?"

"Sahab ji." Bhanu ne thaki si awaaz me kaha___"Har jagah use dhundha magar wo jane kaha gadhe ke seeng ki tarah gayab ho gaya hai."

"Koi baat nahi pyare." Dushyant ne kaha____"Thoda rest kar lo uske baad fir se talaash karna use."
"Ek baat kahu sahab ji.?" Bhanu ne khaas bhaav se kaha____"Bura to nahi manege na.?"

"Kaho kya kahna chaahte ho.?" Dushyant ne bina uski taraf dekhe hi kaha.
"Kahi aisa to nahi." Bhanu ne maano rahasyamayi andaaz se kaha_____"Ham bewajah hi ye sochne lage hain ki usne sach me kuch nahi kiya tha aur use bewajah hi saza mili.? Jabki usne wo sab sach me hi kiya raha ho aur kaboola is liye nahi ki use bhi pata tha ki uske us apraadh ke liye maut ki saza to use milegi nahi. Is liye police ka dimaag shuru se hi ghumane ka irada banaye huye raha wo aur ab ki situation ke anusaar wo apne us irade me kamyaab bhi hua lag raha hai."

"Chalo maan liya pyare." Inspector ne ek cigarette jalane ke baad kaha_____"Magar ye bataao ki use ye sab karne ki bhala kya zarurat thi.? Kahne ka matlab ye ki use apne apraadh ko na kabool kar ke last me hamara dimaag ghumane ki kya zarurat thi.? Hamse bhala uski aisi kya dushmani ho sakti hai jiske liye wo ye sab karta.? Uske dushman to mrs babita aur uski bahu huyi na jinhone use uske anusaar use hamare supurd karke kanunan saza dilwaayi.?"

Hawaldaar bhanu singh ko turant kuch samajh na aaya ki wo apne chahete officer ko kya jawaab de.? Dimaag to uska maano kaam hi nahi kar raha tha. Shuru me jab usne is bare me apne aala officer se shak zaahir kiya tha tab use kahi na kahi lag raha tha ki daal me kuch kala hai magar ab khud uska dimaag kund ho chuka tha.

"Dekho pyare." Inspector uske chehre ke bhaavo ko read karte huye kaha_____"Case to ab band hai magar iske baavjud jo pench hame samajh me aaye usne sirf hame uljhaya hai. Ham sirf is liye isme interest le rahe hain kyo ki mujrim ne apna jurm kabool nahi kiya. Agar is baat ko bhool jaye to fir isme kuch nahi rah jata. Bas yahi kaha jayega ki kirayedaar ne wo sab kiya aur makaan maalkin ne use range hatho pakad liya. Uske baad use police ke hawale kar diya. Ye ek normal aur swabhaavik prakriya hai."

"To fir bhool jaiye sahab ji." Hawaldaar bhaanu ne tapaak se kaha____"Haan sahab ji bhool jaiye us pench ko. Hamara kaam tha mujrim ko pakad kar use saza dilana aur wo ham kar chuke hain. Ab kyo is jhamele ko le kar baithe hain ham.?"

"Tum to pareshan ho gaye lagte ho pyare." Inspector ne haste huye kaha_____"Ye sahi hai ki mujrim ko pakad kar use kanunan saza de di gayi aur saza ke baad wo bari bhi ho gaya magar ye sawaal to bana hi rahega na ki mujrim ne apna jurm kyo kabool nahi kiya.? Kya aisa hota hai ki koi jurm kare aur fir police dwara pakda jane par wo apna jurm na kabool kare.? Dusri baat kayi cases me kisi insaan ko adaalat me tab bhi saza ho jati hai jabki usne koi apraadh nahi kiya hota...kyo ki us insaan ke paas apni begunaahi ka koi saboot nahi hota. Jabki ye maamla aisa nahi tha aur na hi iska mujrim aisa tha. Yaha sawaal hai ki agar mujrim ne apna jurm kabool nahi kiya to uske upar ilzaam aaya kaise.? Dusri baat agar mrs babita aur uski bahu apni jagah sach hain to wo kaun tha jo waisi waardaat ko anjaam de kar waha se gayab ho gaya tha.?"

Pahle se hi chakar ghinni bana hua hawaldaar ka dimaag maano inspector in baato se aur bhi chakra gaya. Usne dayneeya bhaav se dushyant ki taraf dekha jaise kah raha ho ki bas karo prabhu ab kya paagal kar doge mujhe.?

"Uski talaash jaari rakho pyare." Inspector ne gahri saans lete huye kaha_____"Koi case to hai nahi is liye isi maamle me hi apna sir khapate hain."
"Thik hai sahab ji." Hawaldaar ne kaha aur salute thok kar waha se champat ho gaya.

Do mahine baad.!
Inspector dushyant varma kisi kaam se kahi baahar gaya hua tha. Waapsi me usne socha ki apne ek dost se bhi milta chalu. Uska dost Yaswant agnihotri isi ilake ke ek thane me police me SI tha.

In do mahino me inspector dushyant avinash ko jaise bhool hi gaya tha. Pichhle ek mahine tak wo uske bare me sochta raha tha aur hawaldaar bhanu singh se uski talaash bhi karwata raha tha magar hairaani ki baat thi ki avinash ko wah khoj nahi paya tha. Apne muh bole hawaldaar ke hi zor dene par wah is baat ko bhi dimaag se jhatak chuka tha ki avinash ne apna jurm kyo nahi kabool kiya tha.? Ek tarah se ye uske liye mystery jaisi baat ho gai thi magar bhanu ke baar baar zor dene par usne bhi soch liya tha ki bekaar me kyo wo is baat par apna sir khapa raha hai. Avinash ke na milne par usne yahi socha ki mrs babita ke nikale jane par shayad usne ye state hi chhod diya hoga.

Inspector dushyant ne apne dost ke thane ke saamne apni police gipsy ko roka aur fir paidal chalta hua thane ke andar chala gaya. Usne phone par hi dost se baat ki thi aur yaswant ne kaha tha ki wo thane me hi milega. Thane ke andar kuch shipaahi nazar aaye jinhone uske jism me three star lagi wardi ko dekh kar salute kiya. Dushyant ke puchne par unme se ek ne andar right side ishara kiya.

Dushyant abhi us taraf badha hi tha ki dusri side se kisi ke chillane ki awaaz aai. Awaaz sun kar use samajhte der na lagi ki yaswant kisi mujrim ki dhunaai kar raha hai andar. Khair wo kuch pal ruk kar yaswant ki desk ke paas rakhi ek chair par baith gaya aur yaswant ke aane ka wait karne laga.

Kuch der me jab yaswant aaya to dushyant ne dekha ki uski wardi paseene se bheegi huyi thi aur saamne se wardi ke teen button khule huye the aur sath hi wo aise haaf raha tha jaise meelo bhaag kar aaya ho. Dushyant use is haal me dekh kar muskuraya.

"College me jitni maar tune khaayi thi pyare." Dushyant ne uski taraf dekhte huye muskura kar kaha_____"Us sabka hisaab mujrimo se le raha hai....waah bahut khoob."
"Wo sab chhod." Yaswant apni wardi ko durust karte huye chair par baithe hi bola_____"Ye bata kya lega thanda ya garam.?"

"Main to kuch bhi le luga pyare." Dushyant ne muskurate huye kaha_____"Magar tu zarur apne liye thanda mangwa le. Kyo ki abhi tujhe usi ki zarurat hai. By the way aisa kaun sa mujrim tha andar jisne teri aisi haalat kar di.?"

"Mat poochh yaar." Yaswant ne bura sa muh banate huye kaha_____"Sale ko kal se kapdo ki tarah koot koot kar dho raha hu magar haramkhor ek hi raag alaapta ja raha hai ki usne kuch nahi kiya."

"Aree pakde jane par har mujrim yahi kahta hai." Dushyant ne kaha_____"Waise kiya kya hai usne.?"
"Are yaar jiske ghar me kiraye se rahta tha." Yaswant ne kaha_____"Usi ke ghar me chori ki aur apne makaan maalik ki beti ki ijjat lootne ki bhi koshish ki. Wo to shukar tha ki beti ne cheekhna chillana shuru kar diya warna isne to kaand hi kar dena tha."

Yaswant ki ye baate sun kar dushyant ekdam se chaunka. Mano mastishk me badi tezi se jhanaka hua aur ek naam maano visfot ke sath goonja....Avinash.

"Chal dikha mujhe." Dushyant apni chair se ek jhatke me uthte huye bola_____"Main dekhna chaahta hu use."
"Aree kya hua.?" Dushyant ke haav bhaav dekh kar yaswant hadbadate huye chair se utha, bola____"Tu ekdam se use dekhne ki baat kyo kar raha hai.? Kya tu jaanta hai use.?"

"Bakwas mat kar yaswant." Dushyant ne us taraf badhte huye kaha jidhar se us wakt use chillane ki awaaz sunaayi di thi, bola____"Pahle dekhne de mujhe."

Dushyant ki baat par yaswant kuch bol na saka. Ye alag baat thi ki wo bolna bahut kuch chaahta tha. Khair thodi hi der me dushyant aur yaswant us lockup ke paas pahuch gaye jiske andar ek shakhs lockup ke beecho bich rassiyo me jhool raha tha. Uske kandho par ek mota sa danda tha aur usi dande me uske dono hath agal bagal se bandhe huye the aur rassi ka ek chhor upar chhat par lage kunde se badha hua tha.

Us shakhs ki haalat hi bata rahi thi ki yaswant ne uski kafi achhe se khaatirdaari ki thi. Uska chehra badi dayneeya haalat me tha. Mukh se nikalta khoon aur laar neeche farsh par gir raha tha. Sir niche ki taraf jhuka hua tha jisse dushyant ko uska chehra thik se dikhaayi nahi diya.

Dushyant ne yaswant se lockup ka tala kholne ke liye kaha. Yaswant ne paas hi khade hawaldaar ko ishara kiya to us hawaldaar ne jaldi se lockup ka tala khola. Tala khulte hi dushyant gate khol kar andar ki taraf daakhil ho gaya. Uske piche yaswant bhi andar aa gaya. Dushyant ne us shakhs ke chaaro taraf ek chakkar lagaya aur fir saamne aa kar usne apne ek hath se us shakhs ki thuddhi pakad kar uska chehra upar uthaya. Jaise hi us shakhs ka chehra dushyant ki nazro ke saamne aaya dushyant ki aankhe chaudi ho gayi.

Wo shakhs avinash hi tha aur is wakt uski haalat aisi nahi thi ki wo khud bhi nazar utha kar apne itne kareeb khade dushyant ko dekh sake. Dushyant use kuch der tak dekhta raha. Uske kaano me yaswant ke us wakt ke kahe waakya goonj rahe the. Eka ek uske dimaag me khayaal aaya ki ye kya chakkar hai.?

"Ab tu mujhe kuch batayega." Dushyant ko chup dekh yaswant se ruka na gaya_____"Ya aise hi but bana khada rahega.?"
"Baahar baat karte hain" Dushyant ne ajeeb bhaav se kaha aur avinash ko ek nazar dekhne ke baad lockup se baahar aa gaya.

"Yaar ab bata bhi de." Yaswant ne chair par baithte hi cigarette sulga rahe dushyant ki taraf dekhte huye kaha______"Ki ye sab kya hai.? Itna to ab main bhi samajh gaya hu ki tu us namuraad ko janta hai magar kaise.? Ye jaanna hai mujhe."

Inspector dushyant ne cigarette ke do teen gahre gahre kash liye aur fir dher sara dhuwa upar hawa me udane ke baad yaswant ki taraf dekha. Udhar yaswant ke chehre par aise bhaav ubhar aaye the jaise ab agar dushyant ne use kuch nahi bataya to wo apne sir ke baal noch lega.

"Tune sahi kaha." Dushyant ne uske chehre ke bhasvo ko read karte huye kaha_____"Main us namuraad ko jaanta hu magar...!"
"Magar..??" Yaswant ke mukh se anayaas hi nikal gaya.

"Magar kaise jaanta hu use." Dushyant ne fir se cigarette ka ek kash liya aur uske baad uska dhua hawa me udate huye kaha_____"Agar ye sunega to shayad tujhe badi hairaani hogi."
"Meri hairaani ki chhod bhai." Yaswant ne bechaini se kaha_____"Tu mujhe sab kuch saaf saaf bata. Dimaag ka dahi na kar ab."

Yaswant ki baat sun kar dushyant use do mahine pahle ka wo case batane laga jisme yahi shakhs mrs babita ke yaha kiraye se rahta tha aur ek raat isne unke ghar me chori ki aur unki bahu ki ijjat lootne ki koshish ki thi. Dushyant ne use bataya ki kaise is shakhs ko mrs babita ne uske hawale kiya aur fir kaise usne thane me uski kutaayi karke usse uske jurm karne ke bare me pucha magar wo last tak yahi kahta raha ki usne waisa kuch nahi kiya tha.

"Waakayi." Saari baat sunne ke baad yaswant ke mukh se beshaakhta nikal gaya, bola_____"Yakeen nahi hota. Badi dilchaps baat hai bhai. Magar sawaal hai ki agar isne kuch nahi kiya to kisne kiya aur sabse important baat ye ki iske makaan maaliko ne ise kyo fasaya.?"

"Yahi to sochne wali baat hai pyare." Dushyant ne cigarette ko apne pair ke niche bedardi se kuchalte huye kaha_____"Mrs babita aur unki bahu ka saaf kahna tha ki unke ghar me chori aur unki bahu ki ijjat lootne ki koshish karne wala yahi tha. Mrs babita aur unki bahu ka kahna hai ki wo bhala ise kyo fasayengi, wo bhi us soorat me jab ki unke pariwar ki ijjat hi daav par lagi huyi ho.?"

"Baat to tark sangat hai yaar." Yaswant ne kuch sochte huye kaha_____"Chalo maan liya ki mrs babita aur unki bahu apni jagah sahi hain aur idhar ye shakhs bhi sahi hai to fir jisne bhi ye kiya hai wo koi aisa insaan hona chahiye jo sirf aur sirf is shakhs ka dushman ho aur uski shakl o surat isse milti julti ho. Kahne ka matlab ye ki jurm wo karta hai aur fas ye jata hai."

Yaswant ki is baat se dushyant ke mano mastishk me jaise jhanaka hua aur dimaag ki batti badi tezi se roshan huyi. Ek jhatke me saari baat uske dimaag me clear ho gayi. Uske chehre par ubhar aayi chamak is baat ka saboot bhi thi.

"Bahut khoob pyare." Dushyant ne maano chatkara sa lete huye kaha_____"Ye baat saali apne dimaag me kyo nahi aayi thi iske pahle.? Bilkul sahi kaha tune. Ye to sala double role ka chakkar lagta hai."

"Thik samjhe." Yaswant ne tapaak se kaha____"Dono taraf ke maamle se to yahi baat nazar aati hai. Iska matlab ye bhi hua ki hamne bekaar me hi bechaare ko itna dhoya jabki wo to begunaah hai."

"Magar pyare." Dushyant ne kuch sochte huye kaha_____"Agar double role ka lafda hai to ye baat to use bhi pata hogi na.? Mere kahne ka matlab hai ki ho sakta hai uska koi ham shakal judwa bhai ho aur ye baat to wo jaanta hi hoga."

"To kya tumne usse puchha nahi.?" Yaswant ne puchha.
"Kaise puchhte pyare.?" Dushyant ne table ko ek hath se thokte huye kaha_____"Iske pahle ye baat apne dimaag me aayi hi kaha thi.? Dusri baat agar aisa hi hai to use bhi to batana chahiye tha na ki uska koi ham shakal judwa bhai hai aur usi ki vajah se wo is haal me pahucha hai."

"Uske bare me pata to lagaya hoga na tumne." Yaswant ne kaha.
"Haan pyare pura pata lagwaya tha." Dushyant ne kaha_____"Usne yahi bataya tha ki uska is duniya me koi nahi hai aur jab hamne apne tarike se maalumaat ki to koi faayda nahi hua."

"Fir to hamara ye khayaal bhi galat ho sakta hai jo uske ham shakal ke roop me hamne socha tha." Yaswant ne kaha______"Matlab ki uska koi ham shakal judwa bhai nahi hoga balki koi aur hi hoga jo uski shakal le kar use do do baar fasaya. Aaj kal kisi ka facemask banwa lena koi badi baat nahi hai...bas shart ye hai ki paisa hona chahiye."

"Kya baat hai pyare." Dushyant ne muskurate huye kaha_____"Aaj kal to kafi tez dimaag chalne laga hai tumhara. Lagta hai moong ki daal me bheemseni kaajal mila kar khane lage ho."

"Bheemseni kaajal ko chhodo." Yaswant ne sapaat bhaav se kaha_____"Aur ye batao ki kya decide kiya uske bare me.?"
"Ham ye soch rahe hain pyare." Dushyant ne apne andaaz me kaha_____"Ki ek baar chal kar us ghar ka muaayna kiya jaye jaha par ye sab hua hai."

"Waise to main muaayna kar chuka hu." Yaswant ne kaha_____"Magar tumhari tasalli ke liye main chal duga tumhare sath."
"To fir kursi par jame kyo baithe ho pyare." Dushyant ne chair se uthte huye kaha_____"Chalo hame bhi us bala ke darshan karwaao jiske sath is namuraad ne kaand karne ki koshish ki thi."

Dushyant ki baat par yaswant muskurate huye utha aur table se apni cap ko utha kar baahar ki taraf chal diya. Kuch hi der me dono police gipsy me baith kar nikal pade. Dushyant apni gipsy ko thane me hi khadi rahne diya tha.

[KEKIUS MAXIMUS]

nice ...avinash ke upar chori aur gharmaalkin babita ki bahu komal se zabardasti karne ka iljaam laga ,par police ki maar khane ke baad bhi usne apne aap ko begunaah bataya ??...
1 saal se uske saath aisa ho raha hai to shayad koi uska dushman hai jo use dard dena chahta hai ,,,,ya shayad use koi bimari hai jisme kuch karne ke baad shayad wo bhool jaata ho ??..
police bhi achchi hai asli wajah pata karna chahti hai ,,dekhte hai unhe kya milta hai ...

 

[KEKIUS MAXIMUS]

kya ye kahani bhi short hai yaa lambi ???

 

[KEKIUS MAXIMUS]

nice update ..ab tak ki kahani padhne se aisa lagta hai ki avinash ka koi judwaa ho jo usse nafrat karta hai isliye har jagah avinash ko fasata hai ,,yaa avinash bhi jhootha ho sakta hai ? inspector ab case ko seriously le raha hai ...dekhte hai kya haath lagta hai uske ....

 

[KEKIUS MAXIMUS]

nice update ...phir fass gaya avinash ??..mask wala idea bhi koi istemaal kar sakta hai ye maine bhi socha tha ...
ab dono inspector kya saboot dhundte hai ?...

jo bhi avinash ko fasa raha hai wo makaan maalik se jab avinash thoda ghul mil jaata hai tab apna kaam karta hai ..
abhi tak avinash ka past pata nahi hai isliye usko fasane ka reason bhi pata nahi ...
agar avinash jurm karta to bhag bhi sakta hai apna kaam na hone par ? lekin wo ghar par hi pakda jaata hai ...agar jewar churaye to waha se bhag kyu nahi gaya ???..matlab saaf hai ki koi use fasa raha hai chori aur rape case me har baar ....
