tumhari gayoan ke pichhe hamara satyanash hua jata hai, aur tum apane rang mean mast ho. agar bhagavanh ne tumhean bal diya hai to isase doosare ki raksha karani chahie, yah nahian ki sabako pisakar pi jao. saan d tumhari gayoan ke karan ata hai aur use bhagana tumhara kam hai; lekin tum kanoan mean tel dale baithe ho, mano tumase kuchh matalab hi nahian. mathura ko unaki dasha par daya ayi. balavan manushy pray: dayalu hota hai. bola- achchha jao, ham aj saan d ko bhaga deange. ek adami ne kaha- door tak bhagana, nahian to phir laut ayega. mathura ne lathi kandho par rakhate hue uttar diya- ab lautakar n ayega. 2 chilachilati dopahari thi aur mathura saan d ko bhagaye lie jata tha. donoan pasine mean tar the. saan d bar-bar gaanv ki or ghoomane ki cheshta karata, lekin mathura usaka irada ta dakar door hi se usaki rah chheank leta. saan d krodh se unmutta hokar kabhi-kabhi pichhe mu dakar mathura par to d karana chahata lekin us samay mathura samana bachakar bagal se tab d-to d itani lathiyaan jamata ki saan d ko phir bhagana p data. kabhi donoan arahar ke khetoan mean dau date, kabhi jha diyoan mean. arahar ki khooantiyoan se mathura ke paanv lahoo-luhan ho rahe the, jha diyoan mean dhoti phat gayi thi; par use is samay saan d ka pichha karane ke siva aur koee sudh n thi. gaanv par gaanv ate the aur nikal jate the. mathura ne nishchay kar liya ki ise nadi-par bhagaye bina dam n looanga. usaka kanth sookh gaya tha aur aankhean lal ho gayi thian, rom-rom se chinagariyaan-si nikal rahi thian, dam ukh d gaya tha; lekin vah ek kshan ke lie bhi dam n leta tha. do-dhaee ghantoan ki dau d ke bad jakar nadi najar ayi. yahian har-jit ka phaisala hone vala tha, yahian donoan khila diyoan ko apane daanv-peanch ke jauhar dikhane the. saan d sochata tha, agar nadi mean utara to yah mar hi dalega, ek bar jan l dakar lautane ki koshish karani chahie. mathura sochata tha, agar yah laut p da to itani mehanat vyarth ho jayagi aur gaanv ke log meri hansi u dayeange. donoan apane-apane ghat mean the. saan d ne bahut chaha ki tej dau dakar age nikal jaooan aur vahaan se pichhe ko phirooan, par mathura ne use mu dane ka mauqa n diya. usaki jan is vakt suee ki nok par thi, ek hath bhi chooka aur pran gaye, jara pair phisala aur phir uthana nasib n hoga. akhir manushy ne pashu par vijay payi aur saan d ko nadi mean ghusane ke siva aur koee upay n soojha. mathura bhi usake pichhe nadi mean paith gaya aur itane dande lagaye ki usaki lathi toot gayi. 3 ab mathura ko joroan ki pyas lagi. usane nadi mean muanh laga diya aur is tarah haank-haankakar pine laga mano sari nadi pi jayaga. use apane jivan mean kabhi pani itana achchha n laga tha aur n kabhi usane itana pani piya tha. maloom nahian, paanch ser pi gaya tha ya das ser, lekin pani garam tha, pyas n bujhi; jara der mean phir nadi mean muanh laga diya aur itana pani piya ki pet mean saans lene ki jagah bhi n rahi. tab gili dhoti kandho par dalakar ghar ki or chala. lekin das hi paanch pag chala hoga ki pet mean mitha-mitha dard hone laga. usane socha, dau dakar pani pine se aisa dard akasar ho jata hai, jara der mean door ho jayaga. lekin dard badhane laga aur mathura ka age jana kathin ho gaya. vah ek pe d ke niche baith gaya aur dard se bechain hokar zamin par lotane laga. kabhi pet ko dabata, kabhi kh da ho jata, kabhi baith jata, par dard badhata hi jata tha. aant mean usane jor-jor se karahana aur rona shuroo kiya; par vahaan kaun baitha tha jo usaki khabar leta. door tak koee gaanv nahian, n adami n adamajat, bechara dopahari ke sannate mean t dap-t dapakar mar gaya. ham k de-se-k da ghav sah sakate haian, lekin jara-sa bhi vyatikram nahian sah sakate. vahi dev ka-sa javan jo kosoan tak saan d ko bhagata chala aya tha, tattavoan ke virodh ka ek var bhi n sah saka. kaun janata tha ki yah dau d usake lie maut ki dau d hogi! kaun janata tha ki maut hi saan d ka roop dharakar use yoan nacha rahi hai. kaun janata tha ki jal jisake bina usake pran othoan par a rahe the, usake lie vish ka kam karega. sandhya samay usake gharavale use dhooandhate hue aye. dekha to vah anant vishram mean magn tha. 4 ek mahina gujar gaya. gaanvavale apane kam-dhaandho mean lage. gharavaloan ne ro-dho kar sabr kiya; par abhagini vidhava ke aansoo kaise puanchhate. vah haradam roti rahati. aankhean chahe band bhi ho jatian, par hriday nity rota rahata tha. is ghar mean ab kaise nirvah hoga? kis adhar par jiooangi? apane lie jina ya to mahatmaoan ko ata hai ya lampatoan ko. anoopa ko yah kala kya maloom? usake lie to jivan ka ek adhar chahie tha, jise vah apana sarvasv samajhe, jisake lie vah jiye, jis par vah ghamand kare. gharavaloan ko yah gavara n tha ki vah koee doosara ghar kare. isamean badanami thi. isake siva aisi sushil, ghar ke kamoan mean aisi kushal, len-den ke mamale mean itani chatur aur rangaroop ki aisi sarahaniy stri ka kisi doosare ke ghar p d jana hi unhean asahy tha. udhar anoopa ke maikevale ek jagah batachit pakki kar rahe the. jab sab batean tay ho gayian, to ek din anoopa ka bhaee use vida karane a pahuancha. ab to ghar mean khalabali machi. idhar kaha gaya, ham vida n kareange. bhaee ne kaha- ham bina vida karaye maneange nahian. gaanv ke adami jama ho gaye, panchayat hone lagi. yah nishchay hua ki anoopa par chho d diya jay. usaka ji chahe chali jay, ji chahe rahe. yahaanvaloan ko vishvas tha ki anoopa itani jald doosara ghar karane par raji n hogi, do-char bar vah aisa kah bhi chuki thi. lekin is vakt jo poochha gaya to vah jane ko taiyar thi. akhir usaki vidaee ka saman hone laga. doli a gayi. gaanv-bhar ki striyaan use dekhane ayian. anoopa uthakar apani sas ke pairoan par gir p di aur hath jo d kar boli- amma, kaha-suna maph karana. ji mean to tha ki isi ghar mean p di rahooan, par bhagavanh ko manjoor nahian hai. yah kahate-kahate usaki jaban band ho gayi. sas karuna se vihval ho uthi. boli- beti, jahaan jao vahaan sukhi raho. hamare bhagy hi phoot gaye nahian to kyoan tumhean is ghar se jana p data. bhagavanh ka diya aur sabakuchh hai, par unhoanne jo nahian diya usamean apana kya bas! aj tumhara devar sayana hota to big di bat ban jati. tumhare man mean baithe to isi ko apana samajho; palo-poso, b da ho jayaga to sagaee kar dooangi. yah kahakar usane apane sabase chhote l dake vasudev se poochha- kyoan re! bhaujaee se sagaee karega? vasudev ki umr paanch sal se adhik n thi. abaki usaka byah hone vala tha. batachit ho chuki thi. bola- tab to doosare ke ghar n jayagi n? maan- nahian, jab tere sath byah ho jayaga to kyoan jayagi? vasudev- tab maian karooanga. maan- achchha, usase poochh, tujhase byah karegi. vasudev- anoopa ki god mean ja baitha aur sharamata hua bola- hamase byah karegi? yah kahakar vah hansane laga; lekin anoopa ki aankhean dabadaba gayian, vasudev ko chhati se lagati huee boli- ammaan, dil se kahati ho? sas- bhagavanh janate haian! anoopa- aj se yah mere ho gaye? sas- haan, sara gaanv dekh raha hai. anoopa- to bhaiya se kahala bhejo, ghar jayean, maian unake sath n jaooangi. anoopa ko jivan ke lie kisi adhar ki zaroorat thi. vah adhar mil gaya. seva manushy ki svabhavik vritti hai. seva hi usake jivan ka adhar hai. anoopa ne vasudev ko palana-posana shuroo kiya. ubatan aur tel lagati, doodh-roti mal-malakar khilati. ap talab nahane jati to use bhi nahalati. khet mean jati to use bhi sath le jati. tho de hi dinoan mean vah usase itana hil-mil gaya ki ek kshan ke lie bhi use n chho data. maan ko bhool gaya. kuchh khane ko ji chahata to anoopa se maangata, khel mean mar khata to rota hua anoopa ke pas ata. anoopa hi use sulati, anoopa hi jagati, bimar ho to anoopa hi god mean lekar badaloo vaidy ke ghar jati, vahi davayean pilati. gaanv ke stri-purush usaki yah prem-tapasya dekhate aur daantoan uangali dabate. pahale birale hi kisi ko us par vishvas tha. log samajhate the, sal-do-sal mean isaka ji oob jayaga aur kisi taraph ka rasta legi; is dudhamuanhean balak ke nam par kab tak baithi rahegi; lekin yah sari ashankaean nirmool nikalian. anoopa ko kisi ne apane vrat se vichalit hote n dekha. jis hriday mean seva ka srot bah raha ho, svadhin seva ka- usamean vasanaoan ke lie kahaan sthan? vasana ka var nirmam, ashahin, adharahin praniyoan par hi hota hai. chor ki aandhere hi mean chalati hai, ujale mean nahian. vasudev ko bhi kasarat ka shauq tha. usaki shakl-soorat mathura se milati-julati thi, dil-daul bhi vaisa hi tha. usane phir akha da jagaya aur usaki baansuri ki tanean phir khetoan mean gooanjane lagian. is bhaanti 13 baras gujar gaye. vasudev aur anoopa mean sagaee ki taiyari hone lagi. 5 lekin ab anoopa vah anoopa n thi, jisane 14 varsh pahale vasudev ko patibhav se dekha tha, ab us bhav ka sthan matribhav ne le liya tha. idhar kuchh dinoan se vah ek gahare soch mean doobi huee rahati thi. sagaee ke din jyoan-jyoan nikat ate the, usaka dil baitha jata tha. apane jivan mean itane b de parivartan ki kalpana hi se usaka kaleja dahal uthata tha. jise balak ki bhaanti pala-posa, use pati banate hue lajja se usaka mukh lal ho jata tha. dvar par naga da baj raha tha. biradari ke log jama the. ghar mean gana ho raha tha. aj sagaee ki tithi thi. sahasa anoopa ne jakar sas se kaha- ammaan, maian to laj ke mare mari jati hooan. sas ne bhauanchakki hokar poochha- kyoan beti, kya hai? anoopa- maian sagaee n karooangi. sas- kaisi bat karati hai beti? sari taiyari ho gayi. log suneange to kya kaheange? anoopa- jo chahe kahean, jinake nam par 14 baras baithi rahi usi ke nam par ab bhi baithi rahooangi. maianne samajha tha marad ke bina aurat se raha n jata hoga. meri to bhagavanh ne ijjat-abaroo se nibah di. jab nayi umar ke din kat gaye to ab kaun chinta hai! vasudev ki sagaee koee l daki khojakar kar do. jaise ab tak use pala, usi tarah ab usake bal-bachchoan ko palooangi.
