Uljhe Dor

14. Chhat Pe Chaand

  "Tum samajh nahi rahi ho. Us bechari ki zindagi ka sawal hai. Adhij tumhe bhi to tang kar raha hai."

  "Behtar yahi hoga ki aap in sab se apna dhyaan hataiye aur shaadi ki tayyari mein lag jaiye. Aaj jo bhi hua, uske baare mein baat karke sabka mood mat kharab kijiye. Rahi baat Adhij ki mujhe pareshan karne ki, to wo ek galat fehmi hai jo main sambhal lungi. Ab aur kuchh nahi hai to main ja rahi hoon. Kal ghar jake wapas aana hai."

  "Please, Shaivi-" Shaivi bina Bela ki baat sune wahan se chali jaati hai. Bela maayus ho jati hai.

  Ganga Maiyya, yeh aap hamari kaisi pareeksha le rahin hain? Hamne bohot koshish kiya ki in sab cheezon ko apne upar haavi na hone dein, lekin har baar hamare saamne Aarohi ka masum chehra saamne aata hai. Hamare jaante hue bhi agar yeh shaadi ho gayi to ham apne aap ko maaf nahi kar payenge. Hamari madad kariye, Ganga Maiyya.

  Tez hawa chalne lagti hai. Bela apne khayalon mein itni khoyi hui hoti hai ki use pata nahi chalta hai jab Kunal chhat pe aata hai.

  Bela yahan kya kar rahi hai, wo bhi thand mein? I swear yeh ladki pagal hai. "Bela?" Bela koi jawab nahi deti hai. Ise kya ho gaya? Kai baar aur aawaz dene par bhi wo nahi sunti hai. Kunal uske paas jake uske kandhe pe haath rakhta hai. "Bela, yahan kya kar rahi ho? Andar chalo, thand lag jayegi."

  Bela achanak Kunal ki awaz sun kar dar jati hai. "Aap bhoot hain kya? Bina zara bhi aawaz kiye to sirf bhoot aate hain."

  "Maine bohot aawaz diya tumhe lekin apne khayalon mein itni doobi hui thi ki kuchh suni nahi. Kya soch rahi ho?"

  "Ham... ham, kuchh nahi. Aap yahan kya kar rahein hain?"

  "Chhat ka darwaza khula tha aur aawaz kar raha tha to main dekhne aaya tha. Jab chhat pe aati ho to door stopper laga diya karo, aawaz nahi karega."

  "Haan, ham agli baar dhyaan rakhenge."

  "Ab sone chalo, bohot der ho rahi hai aur thand bhi bohot hai."

  Inhe kya ho gaya aaj? Hamse itne achhe se kyun pesh aa rahe hain? Kya sach mein inhe koi bhoot chimad liya hai kya? Lekin inka yeh roop achha lage hamein.

  "Uh, Kunal, hamein aapse kuchh baat karni- achhoo!"

  "Dekho, sardi lag gayi tumhe. Andar chalo, warna tabiyat kharab ho jayegi. Shaadi plan karna hai."

  "Kunal- achhoo!"

  Kunal Bela ka haath pakad ke use kitchen le jata hai. Wahan dawayi ke cabinet se syrup nikalta hai.

  "Yeh kya kar rahein hain?"

  "Dawayi pi lo, subah tak you will be fine."

  "Hamne dekha hai aap bohot dawayi lete hain. Apne sharir ko dawaiyon ke mauhtaj mat banaiye ki aapki sharir apne aap bimariyon se lad hi na sake."

  "Medical fields mein itne advancements is liye hue hain taki insaan ko relief mil sake. Warna pehle log kai diseases ki wajah se mar jate the kyunki unhe sahi time pe diagnose nahi kiya gaya ya unhe sahi dawayi nahi mil payi."

  "Ham thodi keh rahe hain dawayi bura hai, lekin har chhoti cheez ke liye dawayi nahi kha sakte hain. Dawayi ke side effects bhi to hote hain. Aur waise bhi, aisi chhoti si sardi ko to hamara kadha hi choo- mantar kar dega."

  "Kadha?"

  "Ab yeh mat kahiyega ki aapko kadha nahi pata hai."

  "Nahi, mujhe kadha pata hai. Dadi ki bhi iske baare mein tumhari jaisi soch hai. Koi bhi bimar padta hai to Dadi kadha banati hai."

  "Ham kadha bana rahe hain, aap piyenge?"

  "Kadha apni marzi se kaun pitea hai?"

  "Achha hota hai sehat ke liye. Papa sardi ke dino mein hamein har din kadha dete hain." Bela ka chehra utar jata hai apne papa ke baare mein soch ke.

  "Kya hua? Tum suddenly sad ho gayi. Lagta hai tumhe bhi kadha nahi pasand hai."

  "Nahi, aisi baat nahi hai."

  "To kya hua?"

  "Hamein bas- nahi kuchh nahi. Ham kadha pikar so jayenge. Aap bhi so jaiye."

  Kunal Bela ko confusion mein dekhta hai lekin wahan se good night bolkar chale jata hai. Bela, bol do Kunal se, dobara koshish karo, shayad maan jaye?

  "Kunal, ek min rukiye."

  Kunal pichhe mudta hai, "Haan, bolo."

  Nahi Bela, pehle Shaivi ko manao. Agar wo gawahi degi to Kunal maane- na maane, is baare mein sochenge zaroor. Haan, yahi karna hoga. "Good night."

  Hey Ganga Maiyya, kya karein ham ab? Yeh aap hamare saath achha nahi kar rahe hain. Aapne hamare saamne museebat khadi ki hai to ab raasta bhi dikha dijiye.

  "Shaivi, please hamari baat suno," Bela Shaivi ko company mein dekhti hai aur uske paas jaati hai. "Shaivi-"

  "Bela Di, please aap mujhe tang mat kariye. Main aapki koi madad nahi kar sakti hoon. Do din mein Haldi hai, phir Sangeet, Mehendi, kul puja. Time nahi hai hamare paas, to aap mujhe jaane dein, please."

  Itni aasani se nahi. Ham tumse baat karke rahenge.

  "Bela! Tum yahan ho."

  "Rachna ma'am."

  "I hope everything's ready. Mehrotra Mansion jana hai 4 ghante mein to saare catalogues aur samples ready hona chahiye."

  "Haan, Rachna ma'am, sab taiyyar hai. Hamein lagta hai ek ghanta jaldi jaana hoga. Sabke wahan aane se pehle ham Aarohi, uh Aarohi Ma'am ke saath unke beauty appointment ki booking karwa lenge taaki baad mein pareshani na ho."

  "Okay, Bela. I'm glad ki tum apna kaam seriously le rahi ho. Tumne kaafi advance mein socha hai sab kuchh. Keep this up, company ko tumhare jaise passionate and dedicated employees ki zaroorat hai."

  "Thank you, ma'am."
