Marham e ishq

Chapter 8

Darwaza khulte hi Zalaan ke samne hawas bakhta aur uri hui rangat ke saath khaari Eyila nazar aayi jiski ankho me se ab bhi ansu gir rahe the aur haath me churi thi. Ek lamhe me Eyila haath ki churi wahan hi chor ke wahiin dehh si gayi thi.

"Eyila..!"

Zalaan uski taraf bara tha aur use kandho se thaam ke uthaya tha.

"Tum theek ho? Aur Bachey?"

Uski awaaz me daba hua khouf us waqt woh chah ke bhi poori tarah chupa na paya tha.

Eyila ne sar kham kiya tha. Zalaab ne use andar le ke jaa ke sofey pe bithaya aur samne choti table pe pare jug se paani glass me daal ke use thamaya. Jise Eyila ne dekh aur kap kapate haatho se thaama.

"Theek hain aap?"

Zalaan ab khud ko sambhal chuka tha magar dil abhi bhi bechain sa tha aur dusri taraf Eyila thi jo ab tak halka halka kaamp rahi thi aur ab tak dono haatho se paani ke glass ko thaame hue thi.

"I...I'm sorry.."

Woh kuch lamho baad boli to Zalaan ne sawaaliya nazro se use dekha.

"Kis cheez ke liye?"

"Aap..aap ko is waqt..zehmat di maine"

Zalaan ne use bagair ankh jhapke dekha tha woh use us waqt apne andar ke jazbaat kese samjata ke us lamhe woh bas is baat ka shukar adaa kar raha tha ke woh theek thi.

"Aap jab bhi mujhe pukaaren gi aap ko main darwaze pe khara milun ga Eyila."

Woh usse nigahen hatae bagair bola to Eyila beysakhta bas apne ansu bhoole use dekhti reh gayi thi. Yeh woh ilfaaz nahi the jo use sunne ki aadat thi na hi yeh ehsaas tha jo usne aaj se pehle mehsoos kiya tha.

Tahaffuz ka ehsaas.

Yeh woh ehsaas tha jo woh aaj tak apni zindagi me aane wale har mard se chahti thi magar use kabhi na mil paya tha. Magar aaj woh ek ajnabi shaks use yeh ehsaas dila gaya tha?

"Main tumhara bodyguard nahi hun Eyila jo tum mujhe kisi ke tumhe ghoorne ke baree me bata rahi ho get over yourself and cover yourself agar itna tumhe kisi ke ghoorne se masla hai"

"Mere paas waqt nahi hai Eyila tumhari baat sunne ka tang mat karo!"

"Agar koi masla hai to khud hal karo mujhe mat batao"

Maazi ki awaazen uske asbaat me jese chaa chuki thi. Usne apna chehra jhuka liya tha.

"Mat karen yeh please..."

Uski bebass awaaz jab kamre ki khamoshi me gunji to samne bethe shaks ne use bagour dekha aur jese samjhne ki koshish ki thi.

Eyila ne chehra utha ke Zalaan ko dekha to Zalaan saans lena bhool gaya tha us lamhe me.

"Mujhe aadat nahi hai Zalaan... Mujhe aadat nahi hai in ilfaazon ki naa hi mujhe aadat hai mushkil waqt me kisi ka kandha lene ki mujhe aisi aadat mat daalen jo mujhe kisi bhi kisam ka jhota aasra de...jo mere liye jeena aur mushkil kar de...aap jaen yahan se Zalaan..."

Uski rundhi hui awaaz dheemi thi magar dard aur khouf se bharpoor thi.

"Eyila..."

Zalaan bola tha aur phir kuch sochke woh ek lamhe ko theher sa gaya tha. Phir woh uth khara hua tha aur dheere dheere apne kadam uthata hua woh bahir ki taraf bhar gaya magar darwaze tak ponchne se pehle woh ruka tha aur dheemi magar mazboot awaaz me bola tha jisme humesha ki tarah sardpan na tha.

"Aap ko meri zaroorat ho to bas ek call kar dijiye ga..Khuda hafiz"

Aur woh wahan se jaa chuka tha aur peechey uski siskiyon ke siwa kuch na bacha tha. Woh tanhai ko apna mukaddar maan chuki magar phir bhi najane kyun aaj woh tanhai humesha se ziyada takleefde thi...
