amarakant ko jyoanhi maloom hua ki salim yahaan ka aphasar hokar aya hai, vah usase milane chala. samajha, khoob gap-shap hogi. yah khayal to aya, kahian usamean aphasari ki boo n a gee ho lekin purane dost se milane ki utkantha ko n rok saka. bis-pachchis mil ka paha di rasta tha. thand khoob p dane lagi thi. akash kuhare ki dhuandh se matiyala ho raha tha aur us dhuandh mean soory jaise tatol-tatolakar rasta dhooandhata hua chala jata tha. kabhi samane a jata, kabhi chhip jata. amar dopahar ke bad chala tha. use asha thi ki din rahate pahuanch jaooanga kiantu din dhalata jata tha aur maloom nahian abhi aur kitana rasta baki hai. usake pas keval ek deshi kanbal tha. kahian rat ho gee, to kisi vriksh ke niche tikana p d jaega. dekhate-hi-dekhate sooryadev ast bhi ho ge. aandhera jaise muanh khole sansar ko nigalane chala a raha tha. amar ne qadam aur tej kie. shahar mean dakhil hua, to ath baj ge the.
salim usi vakt klab se lauta tha. khabar pate hi bahar nikal aya, magar usaki saj-dhaj dekhi, to jhijhaka aur gale milane ke badale hath badha diya. ardali samane hi kh da tha. usake samane is dehati se kisi prakar ki ghanishthata ka parichay dena b de sahas ka kam tha. use apane saje hue kamare mean bhi n le ja saka. ahate mean chhota-sa bag tha. ek vriksh ke niche use le jakar usane kaha-yah tumane kya dhaj bana rakhi hai ji, itane hoshiyar kab se ho ge- vah re apaka kurata maloom hota hai dak ka thaila hai, aur yah dabalashoo joota kis disavar se mangavaya hai- mujhe dar hai, kahian begar mean n dhar lie jao .
amar vahian zamin par baith gaya aur bola-kuchh khatir-tavajo to ki nahian, ulte aur phatakar sunane lage. dehatiyoan mean rahata hooan, jeantalamain banooan to kaise nibah ho- tum khoob ae bhaee, kabhi-kabhi gap-shap hua karegi. udhar ki khair-kaiphiyat kaho. yah tumane naukari kya kar li- datakar koee rozagar karate, soojhi bhi to gulami.
salim ne garv se kaha-gulami nahian hai janab, hukoomat hai. das-paanch din mean motar aee jati hai, phir dekhana kis shan se nikalata hooan magar tumhari yah halat dekhakar dil toot gaya. tumhean yah bhesh chho dana p dega.
amarakant ke atm-samman ko chot lagi. bola-mera khayal tha, aur hai ki kap de mahaj jism ki hiphajat ke lie haian, shan dikhane ke lie nahian.
salim ne socha, kitani lachar-si bat hai. dehatiyoan ke sath rahakar akl bhi kho baitha. bola-khana bhi mahaj jism ki paravarish ke lie khaya jata hai, to sookhe chane kyoan nahian chabate- sookhe gehooan kyoan nahian phaankate- kyoan halava aur mithaee u date ho-
'maian sookhe chane hi chabata hooan.'
'jhoothe ho. sookhe chanoan par hi yah sina nikal aya hai mujhase dayodhe ho ge, maian to shayad pahachan bhi n sakata.'
'ji haan, yah sookhe chanoan hi ki barakat hai. takat saf hava aur sanyam mean hai. halava-poori se takat nahian hoti, sina nahian nikalata. pet nikal ata hai. pachchis mil paidal chala a raha hooan. hai dam- jara paanch hi mil chalo mere sath.
'muaph kijie, kisi ne kaha-b di rani, to ao piso mere sath. tumhean pisana mubarak ho. tum yahaan kar kya rahe ho?'
'ab to ae ho, khud hi dekh loge. maianne ziandagi ka jo naksha dil mean khiancha tha, usi par amal kar raha hooan. svami atmanand ke a jane se kam mean aur bhi sahooliyat ho gee hai.'
thand jyada thi. salim ko majaboor hokar amarakant ko apane kamare mean lana p da.
amar ne dekha, kamare mean gadvedar koch haian, pital ke gamale haian, zamin par kalin hai, madhay mean sangamaramar ki gol mej hai.
amar ne daravaze par joote utar die aur bola-kiva d band kar dooan, nahian koee dekh le, to tumhean sharmiandahona p de. tum sahab thahare.
salim pate ki bat sunakar jheanp gaya. bola-kuchh-n-kuchh khayal to hota hi hai bhee, halaanki maian vhyasan ka gulam nahian hooan. maian bhi sadi ziandagi basar karana chahata tha lekin abbajan ki pharamaish kaise talata- priansipal tak kahate the, tum pas nahian ho sakate lekin rijalt nikala to sab dang rah ge. tumhare hi khayal se maianne yah zila pasand kiya. kal tumhean kalaktar se milaooanga. abhi mi. gajanavi se to tumhari mulakat n hogi. b da shaukin adami hai magar dil ka saph. pahali hi mulakat mean usase meri betakalluphi ho gee. chalis ke qarib hoange, magar kanpebaji nahian chho di.
amar ke vichar mean aphasaroan ko sachcharitr hona chahie tha. salim sachcharitrata ka kayal n tha. donoan mitroan mean bahas ho gee.
amar bola-sachcharitr hone ke lie khushk hona zaroori nahian.
maianne to mullaoan ko hamesha khushk hi dekha. aphasaroan ke lie mahaj qanoon ki pabandi kafi nahian. mere khayal mean to tho di-si kamazori iansan ka jevar hai. maian ziandagi mean tumase jyada kamayab raha. mujhe dava hai ki mujhase koee naraj nahian hai. tum apani bibi tak ko khush n rakh sake. maian is mullapan ko door se salam karata hooan. tum kisi zile ke aphasar bana die jao, to ek din n rah sako. kisi ko khush n rakh sakoge.
amar ne bahas ko tool dena uchit n samajha kyoanki bahas mean vah bahut garm ho jaya karata tha.
bhojan ka samay a gaya tha. salim ne ek shal nikalakar amar ko odha diya. ek reshami slipar use pahanane ko diya. phir donoan ne bhojan kiya. ek muddat ke bad amar ko aisa svadisht bhojan mila. maans to usane n khaya lekin aur sab chizean maje se khaeean.
salim ne poochha-jo chiz khane ki thi, vah to tumane nikalakar rakh di.
amar ne aparadhi bhav se kaha-mujhe koee apatti nahian hai, lekin bhitar se ichchha nahian hoti. aur kaho, vahaan ki kya khabarean haian- kahian shadi-vadi thik huee- itani kasar baki hai, use bhi poori kar lo.
salim ne chutaki li-meri shadi ki fikr chho do, pahale yah batao ki sakina se tumhari shadi kab ho rahi hai- vah bechari tumhare iantazar mean baithi huee hai.
amar ka chehara phika p d gaya. yah aisa prashn tha, jisaka uttar dena usake lie sansar mean sabase mushkil kam tha. man ki jis dasha mean vah sakina ki or lapaka tha, vah dasha ab n rahi thi. tab sukhada usake jivan mean ek badha ke roop mean kh di thi. donoan ki manovrittiyoan mean koee mel n tha. donoan jivan ko bhinn-bhinn kon se dekhate the. ek mean bhi yah samarthy n thi ki vah doosare ko ham-khayal bana leta lekin ab vah halat n thi. kisi daivi vidhan ne unake samajik bandhan ko aur kasakar unaki atmaoan ko mila diya tha. amar ko pata nahian, sukhada ne use kshama pradan ki ya nahian lekin vah ab sukhada ka upasak tha. use ashchary hota tha ki vilasini sukhada aisi tapasvini kyoankar ho gee aur yah ashchary usake anurag ko din-din prabal karata jata tha. use ab us asantosh ka karan apani hi ayogyata mean chhipa hua maloom hota tha, agar vah ab sukhada ko koee patr n likh saka, to isake do karan the. ek jo lajja aur doosare apani parajay ki kalpana. shasan ka vah purushochit bhav mano usaka parihas kar raha tha. sukhada svachchhand roop se apane lie ek naya marg nikal sakati hai, usaki use leshamatr bhi avashyakata nahian hai, yah vichar usake anurag ki gardan ko jaise daba deta tha. vah ab adhik-se-adhik usaka anugami ho sakata hai. sukhada use samarakshetr mean jate samay keval kesariya tilak lagakar santusht nahian hai, vah usase pahale samar mean koodi ja rahi hai, yah bhav usake atmagaurav ko chot pahuanchata tha.
usane sir jhukakar kaha-mujhe ab tajurba ho raha hai ki maian auratoan ko khush nahian rakh sakata. mujhamean vah liyakat hi nahian hai. maianne tay kar liya hai ki sakina par julm n karooanga.
'to kam-se-kam apana phaisala use likh to dete.'
amar ne hasarat bhari avaz mean kaha-yah kam itana asan nahian hai salim, jitana tum samajhate ho. use yad karake maian ab bhi betab ho jata hooan. usake sath meri ziandagi jannat ban jati. usaki is vapha par mar jane ko ji chahata hai ki abhi tak....
yah kahate-kahate amar ka kanth-svar bhari ho gaya.
salim ne ek kshan ke bad kaha-man lo maian use apane sath shadi karane par raji kar looan to tumhean nagavar hoga-
amar ko aankheanan-si mil geean-nahian bhaeejan, bilakul nahian. agar tum use raji kar sako, to maian samajhooanga, tumase jyada khushanasib adami duniya mean nahian hai lekin tum majak kar rahe ho. tum kisi navabajadi se shadi ka khayal kar rahe hoge.
donoan khana kha chuke aur hath dhokar doosare kamare mean lete.
salim ne hukke ka kash lagakar kaha-kya tum samajhate ho, maian majak kar raha hooan- us vakt zaroor majak kiya tha lekin itane dinoan mean maianne use khoob parakha. us vakt tum usase n mil jate, to isamean jara bhi shak nahian hai ki vah is vakt kahian aur hoti. tumhean pakar use phir kisi ki khvahish nahian rahi. tumane use kich d se nikalakar mandir ki devi bana diya aur devi ki jagah baithakar vah sachamuch devi ho gee. agar tum usase shadi kar sakate ho to shauq se kar lo. maian to mast hooan hi, dilachaspi ka doosara saman talash kar looanga, lekin tum n karana chaho to mere raste se hat jao phir ab to tumhari bibi tumhare lie tumhare panth mean a gee. ab tumhare usase muanh pherane ka koee sabab nahian hai.
amar ne huqqa apani taraph khianchakar kaha-maian b de shauq se tumhare raste se hat jata hooan lekin ek bat batala do-tum sakina ko bhi dilachaspi ki chiz samajh rahe ho, ya use dil se pyar karate ho-
salim uth baithe-dekho amar maianne tumase kabhi parada nahian rakha isalie aj bhi parada n rakhooanga. sakina pyar karane ki chiz nahian, poojane ki chiz hai. kam-se-kam mujhe vah aisi hi maloom hoti hai. maian kasam to nahian khata ki usase shadi ho jane par maian kanthi-mala pahan looanga lekin itana janata hooan ki use pakar maian ziandagi mean kuchh kar sakooanga. ab tak meri ziandagi sailanipan mean gujari hai. vah meri bahati huee nav ka langar hogi. is langar ke bagair nahian janata meri nav kis bhanvar mean p d jaegi. mere lie aisi aurat ki zaroorat hai, jo mujh par hukoomat kare, meri lagam khianchati rahe.
amar ko apana jivan isalie bhar tha ki vah apani stri par shasan n kar sakata tha. salim aisi stri chahata tha jo us par shasan kare, aur maja yah tha ki donoan ek suandari mean manonit lakshan dekh rahe the.
amar ne kautoohal se kaha-maian to samajhata hooan sakina mean vah bat nahian hai, jo tum chahate ho.
salim jaise gaharaee mean doobakar bola-tumhare lie nahian hai magar mere lie hai. vah tumhari pooja karati hai, maian usaki pooja karata hooan.
isake bad koee do-dhaee baje rat tak donoan mean idhar-udhar ki batean hoti rahian. salim ne us ne aandolan ki bhi charcha ki jo usake samane shuroo ho chuka tha aur yah bhi kaha ki usake saphal hone ki asha nahian hai. sanbhav hai, muamala tool khianche.
amar ne vismay ke sath kaha-tab to yoan kaho, sukhada ne vahaan nee jan dal di.
'tumhari sas ne apani sari jayadad sevashram ke nam vakg kar di.'
'achchha .'
'aur tumhare pidar bujurgavar bhi ab kaumi kamoan mean sharik hone lage haian.'
'tab to vahaan poora iankalab ho gaya .'
salim to so gaya, lekin amar din-bhar ka thaka hone par bhi niand ko n bula saka. vah jin batoan ki kalpana bhi n kar sakata tha vah sukhada ke hathoan poori ho geean magar kuchh bhi ho, hai vahi amiri, jara badali huee soorat mean. nam ki lalasa hai aur kuchh nahian magar phir usane apane ko dhikkara. tum kisi ke aant:karan ki jat kya janate ho- aj hajaroan adami rasht' seva mean lage hue haian. kaun kah sakata hai, kaun svarthi hai, kaun sachcha sevak-
n jane kab use bhi niand a gee.
