tin mahine tak amar ne kisi ko khat n likha. kahian baithane ki muhalat hi n mili. sakina ka hal janane ke lie hriday t dap-t dapakar rah jata tha. naina ki bhi yad a jati thi. bechari ro-rokar mari jati hogi. bachche ka hansata hua phool-sa mukh da yad ata rahata tha par kahian apana pata-thikana ho tab to khat likhe. ek jagah to rahana nahian hota tha. yahaan ane ke kee din bad usane tin khat likhe-sakina, salim aur naina ke nam. sakina ka patr salim ke liphaphe mean band kar diya tha. aj javab a ge haian. dakiya abhi de gaya hai. amar ganga-tat par ekaant mean jakar in patroan ko padh raha hai. vah nahian chahata, bich mean koee badha ho, l dake a-akar poochhean-kisaka khat hai.

naina likhati hai-'bhala, apako itane dinoan ke bad meri yad to aee. maian apako itana kathor n samajhati thi. apake bina is ghar mean kaise rahati hooan, isaki ap kalpana bhi nahian kar sakate, kyoanki ap, ap haian, aur maian, maian sadhe char mahine aur apaka ek patr nahian kuchh khabar nahian aankhoan se kitana aansoo nikal gaya, kah nahian sakati. rone ke siva apane aur kam hi kya chho da apake bina mera jivan itana soona ho jaega, mujhe yah n maloom tha.

'apake itane dinoan ki chuppi ka karan maian samajhati hooan, par vah apaka bhram hai bhaiya ap mere bhaee haian. mere viran haian. raja hoan to mere bhaee haian, rank hoan to mere bhaee haian sansar ap par hanse, sare desh mean apaki nianda ho, par ap mere bhaee haian. aj ap musalaman ya eesaee ho jaean, to kya ap mere bhaee n raheange- jo nata bhagavanh ne jo d diya hai, kya use ap to d sakate haian- itana balavanh maian apako nahian samajhati. isase bhi pyara aur koee nata sansar mean hai, maian nahian samajhati. maan mean keval vatsaly hai. bahan mean kya hai, nahian kah sakati, par vah vatsaly se komal avashy hai. maan aparadh ka dand bhi deti hai. bahan kshama ka roop hai. bhaee nyay kare, anyay kare, daante ya pyar kare, man kare, apaman kare, bahan ke pas kshama ke siva aur kuchh nahian hai. vah keval usake sneh ki bhookhi hai.

'jab se ap ge haian, kitaboan ki or takane ki ichchha nahian hoti. rona ata hai. kisi kam mean ji nahian lagata. charakha bhi p da mere nam ko ro raha hai. bas, agar koee anand ki vastu hai to vah munnoo hai. vah mere gale ka har ho gaya hai. kshan-bhar ko bhi nahian chho data. is vakt so gaya hai, tab yah patr likh saki hooan, nahian usane chitralipi mean vah patr likha hota, jisako b de-b de vidvanh bhi nahian samajh sakate. bhabhi ko usase ab utana sneh nahian raha. apaki charcha vah kabhi bhoolakar bhi nahian karatian. dharm-charcha aur bhakti se unhean vishesh prem ho gaya hai. mujhase bhi bahut kam bolati haian. renukadevi unhean lekar lakhanoo jana chahati thian, par vahaan nahian geean. ek din unaki goo ka vivah tha. shahar ke hajaroan devataoan ka bhoj hua. ham log bhi ge the. yahaan ke gooshale ke lie unhoanne das hazar rupaye dan kie haian.

'ab dadaji ka hal sunie vah ajakal ek thakuradvara banava rahe haian. zamin to pahale hi le chuke the. patthar jama ho raha hai. thakuradvare ki buniyad rakhane ke lie raja sahab ko nimantran diya jaega. n jane kyoan dada ab kisi par krodh nahian karate. yahaan tak ki zor se bolate bhi nahian. dal mean namak tej ho jane par jo thali patak dete the, ab chahe kitana hi namak p d jay, bolate bhi nahian. sunati hooan, asamiyoan par bhi utani sakhti nahian karate. jis din buniyad p degi, bahut se asamiyoan ka bakaya muaph bhi kareange. pathanin ko ab paanch ki jagah pachchis rupaye milane lage haian. likhane ko to bahut-si batean haian par likhooangi nahian. ap agar yahaan aean to chhipakar aiega kyoanki log jhallae hue haian. hamare ghar koee nahian ata-jata.'

doosara khat salim ka hai : 'maianne to samajha tha, tum gangaji mean doob mare aur tumhare nam ko, pyaj ki madad se, do-tin katare aansoo baha die the aur tumhari deh ki najat ke lie ek barahaman ko ek kau di khairat bhi kar di thi magar yah maloom karake ranj hua ki ap jianda haian aur mera matam bekar hua. aansuoan ka to gam nahian, aankhoan ko kuchh phayada hi hua, magar us kau di ka zaroor gam hai. bhale adami, koee paanch-paanch mahine tak yoan khamoshi akhtiyar karata hai khairiyat yahi hai ki tum maujood nahian ho. b de kaumi khadim ki dum bane ho. jo adami apane pyare dostoan se itani bevaphaee kare, vah kaum ki khidamat kya khak karega-

'khuda ki kasam roj tumhari yad ati thi. k aaulej jata hooan, ji nahian lagata. tumhare sath k aaulej ki raunak chali gee. udhar abbajan sivil sarvis ki rat laga-lagakar aur bhi jan lie lete haian. akhir kabhi aoge bhi, ya kale pani ki saza bhogate rahoge-

'k aaulej ke hal sabik dastoor haian-vahi tash haian, vahi lekcharoan se bhagana hai, vahi maich haian. haan, kanh‍vokeshan ka aid'es achchha raha. vais chaanlasar ne sada ziandagi par zor diya. tum hote, to us aid'es ka maja uthate. mujhe phika maloom hota tha. sada ziandagi ka sabak to sab dete haian par koee namoona banakar dikhata nahian. yah jo anaginati lekcharar aur prophesar haian, kya sab-ke-sab sada ziandagi ke namoone haian- vah to liviang ka staiandard ooancha kar rahe haian, to phir l dake bhi kyoan n ooancha karean, kyoan n bahati ganga mean hath dhovean- vais chaansalar sahab, maloom nahian sadagi ka sabak apane staph ko kyoan nahian dete- prophesar bhatiya ke pas tis jo de joote haian aur baj-baj pachas rupaye ke haian. khair, unaki bat chho do. prophesar chakravarti to b de kiphayatashar mashahoor haian. joee n jaanta, alla miyaan se nata. phir bhi janate ho kitane naukar haian unake pas- kul barah to bhaee, ham log to naujavan haian, hamare diloan mean naya shauq hai, ne araman haian. ghar valoan se mageange n deange, to l deange, dostoan se karz leange, dookanadaroan ki khushamad kareange, magar shan se raheange zaroor. vah jahannum mean ja rahe haian, to ham bhi jahannum jaeange magar unake pichhe-pichhe.

'sakina ka hal bhi kuchh sunana chahate ho- mama ko bisoan hi bar bheja, kap de bheje, rupaye bheje par koee chiz n li. mama kahati haian, din-bhar ekadh chapati kha li, to kha li, nahian chupachap p di rahati hai. dadi se bolachal band hai. kal tumhara khat pate hi usake pas bhej diya tha. usaka javab jo aya, usaki hoo-b-hoo nakal yah hai. asali khat us vakt dekhane ko paoge, jab yahaan aoge :

'babooji, apako mujh badanasib ke karan yah saza mili, isaka mujhe b da ranj hai. aur kya kahooan- jiti hooan aur apako yad karati hooan. itana araman hai ki marane ke pahale ek bar apako dekh leti lekin isamean bhi apaki badanami hi hai, aur maian to badanam ho hi chuki. kal apaka khat mila, tab se kitani bar sauda uth chuka hai ki apake pas chali jaooan. kya ap naraj hoange- mujhe to yah khauph nahian hai. magar dil ko samajhaooangi aur shayad kabhi marooangi bhi nahian. kuchh der to gusse ke mare tumhara khat n khola. par kab tak- khat khola, padha, roee, phir padha, phir roee. rone mean itana maja hai ki ji nahian bharata. ab iantazar ki takaliph nahian jheli jati. khuda apako salamat rakhe.

'dekha, yah khat kitana dardanak hai meri aankhoan mean bahut kam aansoo ate haian lekin yah khat dekhakar jabt n kar saka. kitane khushanasib ho tum.'

amar ne sir uthaya to usaki aankhoan mean nasha tha vah nasha jisamean alasy nahian, sththarti hai lalima nahian, dipti hai unmad nahian, vismriti nahian, jagriti hai. usake manojagat mean aisa bhookanp kabhi n aya tha. usaki atma kabhi itani udar itani vishal, itani praphull n thi. aankhoan ke samane do moortiyaan kh di ho geean, ek vilas mean doobi huee, ratnoan se alankrit, garv mean choor doosari saral madhury se bhooshit, lajja aur vinay se sir jhukae hue. usaka pyasa hriday us khushaboodar mithe sharabat se hatakar is shital jal ki or lapaka. usane patr ke us aansh ko phir padha, phir avesh mean jakar ganga-tat par tahalane laga. sakina se kaise mile- yah gramin jivan use pasand aega- kitani sukumar hai, kitani komal vah aur kathor jivan- kaise akar usaki dilajoee kare. usaki vah soorat yad aee, jab usane kaha tha-babooji, maian bhi chalati hooan. oh kitana anurag tha. kisi majoor ko g dada khodate-khodate jaise koee ratn mil jae aur vah apane ajnan mean use kaanch ka tuk da hi samajh raha ho .

itana araman hai ki marane ke pahale apako dekh leti'-yah vaky jaise usake hriday mean chimat gaya tha. usaka man jaise ganga ki laharoan par tairata hua sakina ko khoj raha tha. laharoan ki or tanmayata se takate-takate use maloom hua maian baha ja raha hooan. vah chauankakar ghar ki taraph chala. donoan aankhean tar, nak par lali aur galoan par ardrata.
