Faasla-e-Deewar

Chapter15

Zawaar Khan apne haath me ek tasveer ko pakre najane kab se wahan per bethe the.
Shaam ka waqt tha aur aaj woh humesha se zada bhaari dil ke saath wahan bethe the.
Us tasveer me khari larki bohat hi khush shakal thi aur woh ek ghore per bethi chehek rahi thi jab ke uske saath hi ek aur ghore per ek larka betha tha un dono ki shakle milti julti thin.
Daa ji ki ankh se ek aansu tha jo us tasveer per gira tha.
Woh unki 18 saala beti Mahnoor aur 23 saal ke Haider khan ki thi.

Beti se unhe beshumaar muhabbat thi magar unki muhabbat kab unki beti ke paun ki beriyan ban gayi unhe andaza naa hua tha. Woh kab apne baap se is kadar badzan hui ke unhe chor kar kisi ke saath bhaag gayi. Aur unki anaa is kadar thi ke woh call kar ke manane ki koshish karti beti ko apni zindagi se nikal ne ka keh ke baat tak na kar pae. Unki laadli apne abba ko manaane ki koshish aur khuwaish me bewagi ka gham jhel bethi tanha aur usi tarah duniya se chali gayi. Woh kuch na jaan sake..

"Abba?"

Zawaar Khan ne dekha to Haider unke samne khare the.
Woh kabhi kabar hi unhe Abba kehte the amuman baki sab ki tarah woh unhe Da ji hi kehte.
Unhe Abba kehne wali to sirf ek hi thi.

"Kya hua he aap itne udaas kyun hain?"

Haider ne wahan beth te hue pucha tha.

"Kuch nahi. Bas waise hi.."

Haider unki baat se zada mutmaeen to nahi hua tha lekin usne zada kuch nahi pucha tha. Jaan ta tha je woh kuch nahi bataen ge.

"Tum akele aye ho?"

"Jee maine suna tha Bibi jaan ki tabiyat kharab hai to mujhse raha hi nahi gaya. Wese bhi pichle hafte bhi nahi aa saka tha"

Unho ne apni kanpati ko halka sa ungli se masalte hue kaha tha.
Shayad unke sar me dard tha.
Daa ji ne unhe thori bhinchi nazro se dekha.

"To Rayah aur Nawfal ko akela chor aye wahan?"

Unhe ne kaha to Haider khan ne kuch nasamjhi se unhe dekha.
Palwasha ki chuttiyan thi University se jis wajah se woh Haweli me hi theri hui thi.

"Jee..lekin aap aise kyun puch rahe hain?"

"Jo bhi hai Haider hume ehtiyaat karni chahiye. Do jawaan bacho ko aise chorna sahi nahi."

Daa ji ki baat per Haider Khan ke chehre ke tassuraat pehle herani me badle phir kuch tann se gaye.

"Daa ji aap ye kesi baate kar rahe hain..? Nawfal aap ke haatho me bara hua he aur Rayah ko bhi hum jaante hain."

"Haider tum meri baat ko galat le rahe ho. Mera kehne ka maksad ye nahi tha ke main apne bacho pe shak kar raha hun main unse na waqif to nahi. Main sirf yeh keh raha hun ke Rayah aur Nawfal duniya ki nazar me gair larka larki hain. Palwasha ki baat aur thi woh kabhi wahan hoti bhi to apne Bhai ke saath thi. Rayah uski behen nahi hai. Duniya baate banane se pehle yeh nahi dekhti ke us insan ka kirdar kesa hai woh apne samne nazar aane wali baat ka batangar bana deti hai."

Daa ji ki baat ko bagour sun kar Haider khan ne asbaat me sar hilaya tha.

"Waise aap dono ki is baat ka behtareen hal he mere paas."

Unke akab me aane wali awaaz per woh dono chonke the.

Subha ka waqt tha aur Nawfal office ke liye taiyar ho kar niche aya tha. Dining table per abhi tak nashta nahi laga tha to woh kitchen me gaya tha.
Wahan usne Rayah ko cup me chai daal te dekha to use pukara.

"Good morning! Kya ho raha hai?"

"Kuch nahi bas nashta bana rahi thi."

Nawfal ne apne pant ki pocket me haath dale khare hote hue use dekha tha.
