jivan mean kuchh sar hai, amarakant ko isaka anubhav ho raha hai. vah ek shabd bhi muanh se aisa nahian nikalana chahata, jisase sukhada ko du:kh ho kyoanki vah garbhavati hai. usaki ichchha ke viroodvadv' vah chhoti-se-chhoti bat bhi nahian kahana chahata. vah garbhavati hai. use achchhi-achchhi kitabean padhakar sunaee jati haian ramayan, mahabharat aur gita se ab amar ko vishesh prem hai kyoanki sukhada garbhavati hai. balak ke sanskaroan ka sadaiv dhayan bana rahata hai. sukhada ko prasann rakhane ki nirantar cheshta ki jati hai. use thietar, sinema dikhane mean ab amar ko sankoch nahian hota. kabhi phooloan ke gajare ate haian, kabhi koee manoranjan ki vastu. subah-sham vah dookan par bhi baithata hai. sabhaoan ki or usaki ruchi nahian hai. vah putr ka pita banane ja raha hai. isaki kalpana se usamean aisa utsah bhar jata hai ki kabhi-kabhi ekaant mean natamastak hokar krishna ke chitr ke samane sir jhuka leta hai. sukhada tap kar rahi hai. amar apane ko nee zimmedariyoan ke lie taiyar kar raha hai. ab tak vah samatal bhoomi par tha, bahut sanbhalakar chalane ki utani zaroorat n thi. ab vah ooanchaee par ja pahuancha hai. vahaan bahut sanbhalakar paanv rakhana p data hai.

lala samarakant bhi ajakal bahut khush najar ate haian. bisoan hi bar aandar akar sukhada se poochhate haian, kisi chiz ki zaroorat to nahian hai- amar par unaki vishesh kripa-drishti ho gee hai. usake adarshavad ko vah utana bura nahian samajhate. ek din kale khaan ko unhoanne dookan se kh de-kh de nikal diya. asamiyoan par vah utana nahian big date, utani malishean nahian karate. unaka bhavishy ujjval ho gaya hai. ek din unaki renuka se batean ho rahi thian. amarakant ki nishtha ki unhoanne dil kholakar prashansa ki.

renuka utani prasann n thian. prasav ke kashtoan ko yad karake vah bhayabhit ho jati thian. bolian-lalaji, maian to bhagavanh se yahi manati hooan ki jab hansaya hai, to bich mean roolana mat. pahalauanthi mean b da sankat rahata hai. stri ka doosara janm hota hai.

samarakant ko aisi koee shanka n thi. bole-maianne to balak ka nam soch liya hai. usaka nam hoga-renukant.

renuka ashankit hokar boli-abhi nam-vam n rakhie, lalaji is sankat se ubar ho jae, to nam soch liya jaega. maian sochati hooan, durga-path baitha dijie. is muhalle mean ek daee rahati hai, use abhi se rakh liya jae, to achchha ho. bitiya abhi bahut-si batean nahian samajhati. daee use sanbhalati rahegi.

lalaji ne is prastav ko harsh se svikar kar liya. yahaan se jab vah ghar laute to dekha-dookan par do gore aur ek mem baithe hue haian aur amarakant unase batean kar raha hai. kabhi-kabhi niche darje ke gore yahaan apani gh diyaan ya aur koee chiz bechane ke lie a jate the. lalaji unhean khoob thagate the. vah janate the ki ye log badanami ke bhay se kisi doosari dukan par n jaeange. unhoanne jate-hi-jate amarakant ko hata diya aur khud sauda patane lage. amarakant spashtavadi tha aur yah spashtavadita ka avasar n tha. mem sahab ko salam karake poochha-kahie mem sahab, kya hukm hai-

tinoan sharab ke nashe mean choor the. mem sahab ne sone ki ek janjir nikalakar kaha -sethaji, ham isako bechana chahata hai. baba bahut bimar hai. usaka davaee mean bahut kharch ho gaya.

samarakant ne janjir lekar dekha aur hath mean taulate hue bole-isaka sona to achchha nahian hai, mem sahab apane kahaan banavaya tha-

mem hansakar boli-o tum barabar yahi bat kahata hai. sona bahut achchha hai. aangreji dookan ka bana hua hai. ap isako le lean.

samarakant ne anichchha ka bhav dikhate hue kaha-b di-b di dookanean hi to grahakoan ko ulate chhure se mooan dati haian. jo kap da yahaan bazar mean chhah ane gaj milega, vahi aangreji dookanoan par barah ane gaj se niche n milega. maian to das rupaye tole se beshi nahian de sakata.

'aur kuchh nahian dega?'

'kuchh aur nahian. yah bhi apaki khatir hai.'

yah gore us shreni ke the, jo apani atma ko sharab aur jue ke hathoan bech dete haian, be-tikat garst klas mean saphar karate haian, hotal valoan ko dhokha dekar u d jate haian aur jab kuchh bas nahian chalata, to big de hue sharif banakar bhikh maangate haian. tinoan ne apas mean salah ki aur janjir bech dali. rupaye lekar dookan se utare aur taange par baithe hi the ki ek bhikharin taange ke pas akar kh di ho gee. ve tinoan rupaye pane ki khushi mean bhoole hue the ki sahasa us bhikharin ne chhuri nikalakar ek gore par var kiya. chhuri usake muanh par a rahi thi. usane ghabarakar muanh pichhe hataya to chhati mean chubh gee. vah to taange par hi hay-hay karane laga. shesh donoan gore taange se utar p de aur dookan par akar pranaraksha maanphana chahate the ki bhikharin ne doosare gore par var kar diya. chhuri usaki pasali mean pahuanch gee. dookan par chadhane n paya tha, dha dam se gir p da. bhikharin lapakakar dookan par chadh gee aur mem par jhapati ki amarakant haan-haan karake usaki chhuri chhin lene ko badha. bhikharin ne use dekhakar chhuri pheank di aur dookan ke niche koodakar kh di ho gee. sare bazar mean halachal mach gee-ek gore ne kee adamiyoan ko mar dala hai, lala samarakant mar dale ge, amarakant ko bhi chot aee hai. aisi dasha mean kise apani jan bhari thi, jo vahaan ata. log dookanean band karake bhagane lage.

donoan gore zamin par p de t dap rahe the, oopar mem sahami huee kh di thi aur lala samarakant amarakant ka hath pak dakar aandar ghasit le jane ki cheshta kar rahe the. bhikharin bhi sir jhukae j davath kh di thi-aisi bholi-bhali jaise kuchh kiya nahian hai .

vah bhag sakati thi, koee usaka pichha karane ka sahas n karata par bhagi nahian. vah atmaghat kar sakati thi. usaki chhuri ab bhi zamin par p di huee thi par usane atmaghat bhi n kiya. vah to is tarah kh di thi, mano use yah sara drishy dekhakar vismay ho raha ho.

samane ke kee dookanadar jama ho ge. pulis ke do javan bhi a pahuanche. charoan taraph se avaz ane lagi-yahi aurat hai yahi aurat hai pulis valoan ne use pak d liya.

das minat mean sara shahar aur sare adhikari vahaan akar jama ho ge. sab taraph lal pag diyaan dikh p dati thian. sivil sarjan ne akar ahatoan ko uthavaya aur aspatal le chale. idhar tahakikat hone lagi. bhikharin ne apana aparadh svikar kiya.

pulis suparianteandeant ne poochha-teri in adamiyoan se koee adavat thi-

bhikharin ne koee javab n diya.

saik doan avajean aeean-bolati kyoan nahian hatyarin .

bhikharin ne dridhata se kaha-maian hatyarin nahian hooan.

'in sahaboan ko toone nahian mara?'

'haan, maianne mara hai.'

'to too hatyarin kaise nahian hai?'

'maian hatyarin nahian hooan. aj se chh: mahine pahale aise hi tin adamiyoan ne meri abaroo biga di thi. maian phir ghar nahian gee. kisi ko apana muanh nahian dikhaya. mujhe hosh nahian ki maian kahaan-kahaan phiri, kaise rahi, kya-kya kiya- is vakt bhi mujhe hosh tab aya, jab maian in donoan goroan ko ghayal kar chuki thi. tab mujhe maloom hua ki maianne kya kiya- maian bahut garib hooan. maian nahian kah sakati, mujhe chhuri kisane di, kahaan se mili aur mujhamean itani himmat kahaan se aee- maian yah isalie nahian kah rahi hooan ki maian phaansi se darati hooan. maian to bhagavanh se manati hooan ki jitani jald ho sake, mujhe sansar se utha lo. jab abaroo lut gee, to jikar kya karooangi?'

is kathan ne janata ki manovritti badal di. pulis ne jin-jin logoan ke bayan lie, sabane yahi kaha-yah pagali hai. idhar-udhar mari-mari phirati thi. khane ko diya jata tha, to kuth‍toan ke age dal deti thi. paise die jate the, to pheank deti thi.

ek taange vale ne kaha-yah bich s dak par baithi huee thi. kitani hi ghanti bajaee, par raste se hati nahian. majaboor hokar patari se taanga nikal laya.

ek pan vale ne kaha-ek din meri dookan par akar kh di ho gee. maianne ek bi da diya. use zamin par dalakar pairoan se kuchalane lagi, phir gati huee chali gee.

amarakant ka bayan bhi hua. lalaji to chahate the ki vah is jhanjhat mean n p de par amarakant aisa uttojit ho raha tha ki unhean dubara kuchh kahane ka hausala n hua. amar ne sara vrith‍taant kah sunaya. rang ko chokha karane ke lie do-char batean apani taraph se jo d dian.

pulis ke aphasar ne poochha-tum kah sakate ho, yah aurat pagal hai-

amarakant bola-ji haan, bilakul pagal. bisiyoan hi bar use akele hansate ya rote dekha hai. koee kuchh poochhata, to bhag jati thi.

yah sab jhooth tha. us din ke bad aj yah aurat yahaan pahali bar use najar aee thi. sanbhav hai usane kabhi, idhar-udhar bhi dekha ho par vah use pahachan n saka tha.

jab pulis pagali ko lekar chali to do hazar adami thane tak usake sath ge. ab vah janata ki drishti mean sadharan stri n thi. devi ke pad par pahuanch gee thi. kisi daivi shakti ke bagair usamean itana sahas kahaan se a jata rat-bhar shahar ke any bhagoan mean a-akar log ghatana-sthal ka muayana karate rahe. do-ek adami us kaand ki vyakhya karane mean hardik anand prapt kar rahe the. yoan akar taange ke pas kh di ho gee, yoan chhuri nikali, yoan jhapati, yoan donoan dookan par chadhe, yoan doosare gore par tooti. bhaiya amarakant samane n jaean, to mem ka kam bhi tamam kar deti. us samay usaki aankhoan se lal aangare nikal rahe the. mukh par aisa tej tha, mano dipak ho.

amarakant aandar gaya to dekha, naina bhavaj ka hath pak de sahami kh di hai aur sukhada rajasi karuna se aandolit sajal netr charapaee par baithi huee hai. amar ko dekhate hi vah kh di ho gee aur boli-yah vahi aurat thi n-

'haan, vahi to maloom hoti hai.'

'to ab yah phaansi pa jaegi?'

'shayad bach jae, par asha kam hai.'

'agar isako phaansi ho gee to maian samajhooangi, sansar se nyay uth gaya. usane koee aparadh nahian kiya. jin dushtoan ne us par aisa atyachar kiya, unhean yahi dand milana chahie tha. maian agar nyay ke pad par hoti, to use bedag chho d deti. aisi devi ki to pratima banakar poojana chahie. usane apani sari bahanoan ka mukh ujjval kar diya.'

amarakant ne kaha-lekin yah to koee nyay nahian ki kam koee kare saza koee pae.

sukhada ne ugr bhav se kaha-ve sab ek haian. jis jati mean aise dusht hoan us jati ka patan ho gaya hai. samaj mean ek adami koee buraee karata hai, to sara samaj badanam ho jata hai aur usaka dand sare samaj ko milana chahie. ek gori aurat ko sarahad ka koee adami utha le gaya tha. sarakar ne usaka badala lene ke lie sarahad par chadhaee karane ki taiyari kar di thi. aparadhi kaun hai, ise poochha bhi nahian. usaki nigah mean sara sooba aparadhi tha. is bhikharin ka koee rakshak n tha. usane apani abaroo ka badala khud liya. tum jakar vakiloan se salah lo, phaansi n hone pae chahe kitane hi rupaye kharch ho jaean. maian to kahati hooan, vakiloan ko is mukadame ki pairavi murti karani chahie. aise muamale mean bhi koee vakil mehanatana maange, to maian samajhooangi vah manushy nahian. tum apani sabha mean aj jalasa karake chanda lena shuroo kar do. maian is dasha mean bhi isi shahar se hajaroan rupaye jama kar sakati hooan. aisi kaun nari hai, jo usake lie nahian kar de.

amarakant ne use shaant karane ke irade se kaha-jo kuchh tum chahati ho vah sab hoga. natija kuchh bhi ho par ham apani taraph se koee bat utha n rakheange. maian jara pro shantikumar ke pas jata hooan. tum jakar aram se leto.

'maian bhi ammaan ke pas jaooangi. tum mujhe udhar chho dakar chale jana.'

amar ne agrahapoorvak kaha-tum chalakar shaanti se leto, maian ammaan se milata chala jaooanga.

sukhada ne chidhakar kaha-aisi dasha mean jo shaanti se lete vah mritak hai. is devi ke lie to mujhe pran bhi dene p dean, to khushi se dooan. ammaan se maian jo kahooangi, vah tum nahian kah sakate. nari ke lie nari ke hriday mean jo t dap hogi, vah purushoan ke hriday mean nahian ho sakati. maian ammaan se is mukadame ke lie paanch hazar se kam n looangi. mujhe unaka dhan n chahie. chanda mile to vah-vah, nahian to unhean khud nikal ana chahie. taanga bulava lo.

amarakant ko aj jnat hua, vilasini ke hriday mean kitani vedana, kitana svajati-prem, kitana utsarg hai.

taanga aya aur donoan renukadevi se milane chale.
