baboo anath bandhu bi.e. mean padhate the. parantu kee varshoan se nirantar phel ho rahe the. unake sambandhiyoan ka vichar tha ki vah is varsh avashy uttirn ho jaeange, par is varsh unhoanne pariksha dena hi uchit n samajha.

isi varsh baboo anath bandhu ka vivah hua tha. bhagavan ki kripa se vadhoo sundar sadcharitra mili thi. usaka nam vindhyavasini tha. kintu anath baboo ko is hiandustani nam se ghrina thi. patni ko bhi vah visheshataoan aur sundarata mean apane yogy n samajhate the.

parantu vindhyavasini ke hriday mean harsh ki sima n thi. doosare purushoan ki apeksha vah apane pati ko sarvottam samajhati thi. aisa maloom hota tha ki kisi dharm mean astha rakhane vale shradhdalu vyakti ki bhaanti vah apane hriday ke sianhasan par svami ki moorti sajakar sarvada usi ki pooja kiya karati thi.

idhar anath bandhu ki suniye! vah n jane kyoan har samay usase rusht rahate aur tikhe-k dave shabdoan se usake prem-bhare man ko har sambhav dhang par jakhmi karate rahate. apani mitr-mandali mean bhi vah us bechari ko ghrina ke sath smaran karate.

jin dinoan anath bandhu k aaulej mean padhate the unaka nivas sasural mean hi tha. pariksha ka samay aya, kintu unhoanne pariksha diye bagair hi k aaulej chho d diya. is ghatana par any vyaktiyoan ki apeksha vindhyavasini ko adhik du:kh hua. rat ke samay usane vinamrata ke sath kahana arambh kiya-prananath! apane padhana kyoan chho d diya? tho de dinoan ka kasht sah lena koee kathin bat n thi. padhana-likhana koee buri bat to nahian hai.

patni ki itani bat sunakar anath bandhu ke mizaj ka para 120 digri tak pahuanch gaya. big dakar kahane lage- padhane-likhane se kya manushy ke char hath-paanv ho jate haian? jo vyakti padh-likhakar apana svasthy kho baithate haian unaki dasha ant mean bahut buri hoti hai.

pati ka uttar sunakar vindhyavasini ne is prakar svayan ko saantvana di jo manushy gadhe ya bail ki bhaanti kathin parishram karake kisi-n-kisi prakar saphal bhi ho gaye, parantu kuchh n ban sake to phir unaka saphal hona-n-hona barabar hai.

isake doosare din p dos mean rahane vali saheli kamala vindhyavasini ko ek samachar sunane aee. usane kaha- aj hamare bhaee bi.e. ki pariksha mean uttirn ho gaye. unako bahut kathin parishram karana p da, kintu bhagavan ki kripa se parishram saphal hua.

kamala ki bat sunakar vindhy ne samajha ki pati ki hansi u dane ko kah rahi hai. vah sahan kar gee aur dabi avaz se kahane lagi- bahan, manushy ke lie bi.e. pas kar lena koee kathin bat nahian parantu bi.e. pas kar lene se hota kya hai? videshoan mean log bi.e. aur em.e. pas vyaktiyoan ko ghrina ki drishti se dekhate haian.

vindhyavasini ne jo batean kamala se kahi thian ve sab usane apane pati se suni thian, nahian to us bechari ko vilayat ka hal kya maloom tha. kamala aee to thi harsh ka samachar sunane, kintu apani priy saheli ke mukh se aise shabd sunakar usako bahut du:kh hua. parantu samajhadar l daki thi. usane apane hridayagat bhav prakat n hone die. ulta vinamr hokar boli- bahan, mera bhaee to vilayat gaya hi nahian aur n mera vivah aise vyakti se hua hai jo vilayat hokar aya ho, isalie vilayat ka hal mujhe kaise maloom ho sakata hai?

itana kahakar kamala apane ghar chali gee.

kintu kamala ka vinamr svar hote hue bhi ye batean vindhy ko atyant katu pratit hueean. vah unaka uttar to kya deti, haan ekant mean baithakar rone lagi.

isake kuchh dinoan pashchath ek ajib ghatana ghatit huee jo visheshat: varnan karane yogy hai. kalakatta se ek dhanavan vyakti jo vindhy ke pita rajakumar ke mitr the, apane kutumb-sahit aye aur rajakumar baboo ke ghar atithi banakar rahane lage. chooanki unake sath kee adami aur naukar-chakar the isalie jagah banane ko rajakumar baboo ne anath bandhu vala kamara bhi unako sauanp diya aur anath bandhu ke lie ek aur chhota-sa kamara saf kar diya. yah bat anath bandhu ko bahut buri lagi. tivr krodh ki dasha mean vah vindhyavasini ke pas gaye aur sasural ki buraee karane lage, sath-hi-sath us niraparadhini ko do-char batean sunaeean.

vindhy bahut vyakul aur chintit huee kintu vah moorkh n thi. usake lie apane pita ko doshi thaharana yogy n tha kintu pati ko kah-sunakar thanda kiya. isake bad ek din avasar pakar usane pati se kaha ki- ab yahaan rahana thik nahian. ap mujhe apane ghar le chaliye. is sthan par rahane mean samman nahian hai.

anath bandhu parale sire ke ghamandi vyakti the. unamean dooradarshita ki bhavana bahut kam thi. apane ghar par kasht se rahane ki apeksha unhoanne sasural ka apaman sahana achchha samajha, isalie ana-kani karane lage. kintu vindhyavasini ne n mana aur kahane lagi- yadi ap jana nahian chahate to mujhe akeli bhej dijiye. kam-se-kam maian aisa apaman sahan nahian kar sakati.

is par anath bandhu vivash ho ghar jane ko taiyar ho gaye.

bhag 3

chalate samay mata-pita ne vindhy se kuchh dinoan aur rahane ke lie kaha kintu vindhy ne kuchh uttar n diya. yah dekhakar mata-pita ke hriday mean shanka huee. unhoanne kaha-beti vindhy! yadi hamase koee aisi vaisi bat huee ho to use bhula dena.

beti ne namratapoorvak pita ke muanh ki or dekha. phir kahane lagi- pitaji! ham apake rrin se kabhi urrin nahian ho sakate. hamare din sukh se bite aur....

kahate-kahate vindhy ka gala bhar aya, aankhoan se aansoo se bahane lage. isake pashchath usane hath jo dakar mata-pita se vida chahi aur sabako rota hua chho dakar pati ke sath chal di.

kalakatta ke dhanavan aur gramin jamiandaroan mean bahut b da antar hai. jo vyakti sarvada nagar mean raha ho use gaanv mean rahana achchha nahian lagata. kintu vindhy ne pahali bar nagar se bahar qadam rakhane par bhi kisi prakar ka kasht prakat n kiya balki sasural mean har prakar se prasann rahane lagi. itana hi nahian, usane apani nari-sulabh-chaturata se bahut shighr apani sas ka man moh liya. gramin striyaan usake gunoan ko dekhakar prasann hoti thian, parantu sab-kuchh hote hue bhi vindhy prasann n thi. anath bandhu ke tin bhaee aur the. do chhote ek b da. b de bhaee paradesh mean pachas rupaye ke naukar the. isase anath bandhu ke ghar-bar ka kharch chalata tha. chhote bhaee abhi skool mean padhate the.

b de bhaee ki patni shyama ko is bat ka ghamand tha ki usake pati ki kamaee se sabako roti milati hai, isalie vah ghar ke kamakaj ko hath tak n lagati thi.

isake kuchh dinoan pashchath b de bhaee chhutti lekar ghar aye. rat ko shyama ne pati se bhaee aur bhaujaee ki shikayat ki. pahale to pati ne usaki batoan ko hansi mean u da diya, parantu jab usane kee bar kaha to unhoanne anath bandhu ko bulaya aur kahane lage-bhaee, pachas rupaye mean ham sabaka grihasth nahian chal sakata, ab tumako bhi naukari ki chinta karani chahie.

yah shabd unhoanne b de pyar se kahe the parantu anath bandhu big dakar bole- bhaee sahab! do mutthi-bhar ann ke lie ap itane rusht hote haian, naukari talash karana koee b di bat nahian, kintu hamase kisi ki gulami nahian ho sakati. itana kahakar vah bhaee ke pas se chale aye.

inhian dinoan gaanv ke skool mean thard mastar ka sthan khali hua tha. anath bandhu ki patni aur unake b de bhaee ne us sthan par unase kam karane ke lie bahut kaha, kintu unhoanne aisi tuchchh naukari svikar n ki. ab to anath bandhu ko keval vilayat jane ki dhun samaee huee thi. ek din apani patni se kahane lage- dekho, ajakal vilayat gaye bina manushy ka samman nahian hota aur n achchhi naukari mil sakati hai. isalie hamara vilayat jana avashyak hai. tum apane pita se kahakar kuchh rupaya manga do to ham chale jaean.

vilayat jane ki bat sunakar vindhy ko bahut du:kh hua, pita ke ghar se rupaya mangane ki bat se bechari ki jan hi nikal gee.

bhag 4

durga-pooja ke din samip aye to vindhy ke pita ne beti aur damad ko bulane ke lie adami bheja. vindhy khushi-khushi maike aee. maan ne beti aur damad ko rahane ke lie apana kamara de diya. durga-pooja ki rat ko yah sochakar ki pati n jane kab vapas aean, vindhy pratiksha karate-karate so gee.

subah uthi to usane anath bandhu ko kamare mean n paya. uthakar dekha to maan ka lohe ka sandook khula p da tha, sari chizean idhar-udhar bikhari p di thian aur pita ka chhota kaish-baks jo usake andar rakha tha, gayab tha.

vindhy ka hriday dh dakane laga. usane socha ki jis badamash ne chori ki hai usi ke hathoan pati ko bhi hani pahuanchi hai.

parantu tho di der bar usaki drishti ek kagaz ke tuk de par ja p di. vah uthane lagi to dekha ki pas hi kuanjiyoan ka ek guchchha p da hai. patr padhane se maloom hua ki usaka pati aj hi prat: jahaz par savar hokar vilayat chala gaya hai.

patr padhate hi vindhy ki aankhoan ke samane andhera chha gaya.

vah du:kh ke aghat se zamin par baith gee aur aanchal se muanh dhaanpakar rone lagi.

aj sare bangal mean khushiyaan manaee ja rahi thian kintu vindhy ke kamare ka daravaza ab tak band tha. isaka karan janane ke lie vindhy ki saheli kamala ne daravaza khatakhatana arambh kiya, kintu andar se koee uttar n mila to vah dau dakar vindhy ki maan ko bula laee. maan ne bahar kh di hokar avaz di- vindhy! andar kya kar rahi hai? daravaza to khol beti!

maan ki avaz pahachanakar vindhy ne jhat aansuoan ko poanchh dala aur kaha-mataji! pitaji ko bula lo.

isase maan bahut ghabaraee, at: usane turant pati ko bulavaya. rajakumar baboo ke ane par vindhy ne daravaza khol diya aur mata-pita ko andar bulakar phir daravaza band kar liya.

rajakumar ne ghabarakar poochha- vindhy, kya bat hai? too ro kyoan rahi hai?

yah sunate hi vindhy pita ke charanoan mean gir p di aur kahane lagi- pitaji! meri dasha par daya karo. maianne apaka rupaya churaya hai.

rajakumar ashchary-chakit rah gaye. usi halat mean vindhy ne phir hath jo dakar kaha-pitaji, is abhagin ka aparadh kshama kijie. svami ko vilayat bhejane ke lie maianne yah nich karm kiya hai.'

ab rajakumar ko bahut krodh aya. daantakar bola- dusht l daki, yadi tujhako rupaye ki avashyakata thi to hamase kyoan n kaha?

vindhy ne darate-darate uttar diya-pitaji! ap unako vilayat jane ke lie rupaya n dete.

dhyan dene yogy bat hai ki jis vindhy ne kabhi mata-pita se rupaye paise ke lie vinati tak n ki thi aj vah pati ke pap ko chhipane ke lie chori ka iljam apane oopar le rahi hai.

vindhyavasini par charoan or se ghrina ki bauchharean hone lagian. bechari sab-kuchh sunati rahi, kintu maun thi.

tivr krodhavesh ki dasha mean rajakumar ne beti ko sasural bhej diya.

bhag 5

isake bad samay bitata gaya, kintu anath bandhu ne vindhy ko koee patr n likha aur n apani maan ki hi koee sudhabudh li. par jab akhirakar sab rupaye, jo unake pas the kharch ho gaye to bahut hi ghabaraye aur vindhy ke pas ek tar bhejakar takaja kiya. vindhy ne tar pate hi apane bahumooly abhooshan bech dale aur unase jo mila vah anath baboo ko bhej diya. ab kya tha? jab kabhi rupayoan ki avashyakata hoti vah jhat vindhy ko likh dete aur vindhy se jis tarah ban p data, apane rahe-sahe abhooshan bechakar unaki avashyakataoan ko poora karati rahati. yahaan tak ki bechari garib ke pas kaanch ki do choo diyoan ke sivay kuchh bhi shesh n raha.

ab abhagi vindhy ke lie sansar mean koee sukh shesh n raha tha. sambhav tha vah kisi din dukhi halat mean atmahatya kar leti. kintu vah sochati ki maian svatantr nahian, anath bandhu mere svami haian. isalie kasht sahate hue bhi vah jivan ke du:kh uthane par vivash thi. anath bandhu ke lie vah jivit rahakar apana karttavy poora kar rahi thi kintu ab chooanki usake lie virah ka du:kh sahana kathin ho gaya tha isalie vivash hokar usane pati ke nam vapas ane ke lie patr likha.

isake tho de dinoan bad anath bandhu bairistari pas karake sahab bahadur bane hue vapas laut aye parantu dehat mean bairistar sahab ka nirvah hona kathin tha isalie pas hi ek kasbe mean hotal ka ashray lena p da. vilayat mean rahakar anath bandhu ke rahan-sahan mean bahut antar a gaya tha. vah graminoan se ghrina karate the. unake khan-pan aur rahan-sahan ke tarikoan se yah bhi maloom n hota tha ki vah aangrez haian ya hiandustani.

vindhy yah sunakar bahut prasann huee ki svami bairistar hokar aye haian, kiantu maan usaki big di huee adatoan ko dekhakar bahut vyakul huee. aant mean usane bhi yah sochakar dil ko samajha liya ki ajakal ka jamana hi aisa hai, isamean anath bandhu ka kya dosh?

isake kuchh samay pashchath ek bahut hi dard se bhari ghatana ghatit huee. baboo rajakumar apane kutumb-sahit nav par savar hokar kahian ja rahe the ki sahasa nauka jahaz se takarakar ganga mean doob gee. rajakumar to kisi prakar bach gaye kintu unaki patni aur putr ka kahian pata n laga.

ab unake kutumb mean vindhy ke sivay koee doosara shesh n raha tha. is durghatana ke pashchath ek din rajakumar baboo vikal avastha mean anath bandhu se milane aye. donoan mean kuchh der tak batachit hoti rahi, ant mean rajakumar ne kaha- jo kuchh hona tha so to hua, ab prayashchit karake apani jati mean sammilit ho jana chahie. kyoanki tumhare sivay ab duniya mean hamara koee nahian, beta ya damad jo kuchh bhi ho, ab tum ho.

bhag 6

anath bandhu ne prayashchit karana svikar kar liya. panditoan se salah li gee to unhoanne kaha- yadi inhoanne vilayat mean rahakar maans nahian khaya hai to inaki shudhdi ved-mantroan dvara ki ja sakati hai.

yah samachar sunakar vindhy harsh se phooli n samaee aur apana sara du:kh bhool gee. akhir ek din prayashchit ki rasm ada karane ke lie nishchit kiya gaya.

b de anand ka samay tha, chahuanor ved-mantroan ki gooanj sunaee deti thi. prayashchit ke pashchath brahmanoan ko bhojan karaya gaya aur isake parinamasvaroop baboo anath bandhu ne sire se biradari mean sammilit kar liye gaye.

parantu thik usi samay rajakumar baboo brahmanoan ko dakshina de rahe the, ek naukar ne kard liye hue ghar mean pravesh kiya aur rajakumar se kahane laga- baboo ji! ek mem aee haian.

mem ka nam sunate hi rajakumar baboo chakarae, kard padha. us par likha tha-misej anath bandhu sarakar.

isase pahale ki rajakumar baboo haan ya n mean kuchh uttar dete ek gore rang ki yooropiyan yuvati khat-khat karati andar a upasthit huee.

panditoan ne usako dekha, to dakshina leni bhool gaye. ghabarakar jidhar jisake siang samaye nikal gaye. idhar mem sahiba ne jab anath bandhu ko n dekha to bahut vikal huee aur unaka nam le-lekar avajean dene lagi.

itane mean anath bandhu kamare se bahar nikale. unhean dekhate hi mem sahiba 'maee diyar' kahakar jhat unase lipat gee.

yah dasha dekhakar ghar ke purohit bhi apana boriya-bandhana sanbhal kar vida ho gaye. unhoanne pichhe mu dakar bhi n dekha.
