Aarohi aur Adhij ki anguthi hamne apne kamre mein rakhi thi. Jaldi se le aate hain. Agar ham der ho gaye to Kunal hamare sir par tandav karenge.
"Bela!"
Shaitan ka naam liya aur shaktan hazir hai. "Kunal? Aap yahan kya kar rahe hain? Aapko neeche hona chahiye, mehmano ke saath." Bela pichhe mudti hai, haath mein bhaari catalogues pakde hue.
"Subah meri baat puri nahi hui thi."
"Dekhiye Kuanl, aur daatna baki reh gaya hai to rehne dijiye, ham samajh gaye. Ham jante hain ki aap nahi chahte hain ki ham Ansh aur Veer se us baare mein baat karein. Ham aisi koshish nahi karenge dobara, kisi bhi sadasya ko nahi bataenge."
"Ruko! Ek baar shuru karti ho to rukne ka naam hi nahi leti ho, bas train ki tarah chalte jati ho. Maine kuchh kaha bhi nahi lekin tumne maan liya ki main tumhe daatne wala hoon."
"To ismein hamari kya galti hai? Aap jab hamein dekhte hain to hamein daatne lagte hain."
"Main bina reason ke nahi daat-ta hoon. Tum hamesha problems create karte rehti ho."
"Haan to galti hoti hai insaanon se, hamse bhi ho gayi. Aapse nahi hoti hai kya?"
"Kunal Mehrotra galti nahi karta kyunki Kunal ki zindagi aur ghar mein galti ki koi gunjaish nahi hai."
"Is liye ham kehte hain aap insaan hi nahi hain. Aur aap apne aap ko naam se bulana band kariye. Aap itne bhi mahan nahi hain."
"Tum bhi to apne aap ko 'ham' bolti ho, maine kuchh kaha-"
"Haan, pehle din hi aapne tok diya tha hamein."
"Kyunki tum pagal lagti ho. Koi aise baat nahi karta hai."
"Karte hain na, hamare Papa, Chachi, Dada- Dadi, sab aise hi bolte hain. Aapne kabhi UP - Bihar mein kadam nahi rakha hai na, is liye aisa keh rahe hain. Waha sab aise hi baat karte hain. Aur ham jaise bhi baat karein, pagal lagein ya jahil, aapko isse kya? Aapko isse pareshani kyun ho rahi hai?"
"Parshani nahi, use sun ke mujhe... waisa lagta hai-"
"Ak-baki? Akbaki lagta hai?"
"Ak- what?"
"Akbaki matlab ajeeb, michmichi jaisa. Jo suna na jaye, bohot ajeeb lagta hai."
"Ek to pata nahi aisi dictionary kahan se utha ke lati ho. Itne ajeeb words pehle kabhi nahi suna maine."
"Sunenge bhi kaise, Angrez ki aulad. Aap hamesha se-"
"What did you just call me?"
"Angrez ki aulad. Pehle to sirf aankh tha, lagta hai ab inke kaan bhi kharab ho gaye."
"Excuse me, my ears are just fine."
"Lag to nahi raha. Pata nahi ham aapse yahan khade hokar baat karne mein wakt kyun vyarth kar rahein hain? Anguthiyan dena hai Dadi ko."
"Main tumse kehne aaya tha ki-" Bela mud ke jaane wali hoti hai lekin Kunal Bela ka haath pakad ke use wapas apne taraf ghumata hai aur use paas kheechta hai. "Meri baat khatam nahi hui. Jab main tumse baat kar raha hoon, tum aise nahi ja sakti ho."
"To ab aap hamein jabardasti apni baat sunaenge? Bade dheet hain aap."
"Stop calling me names, aur meri baat suno."
"Pehle aap hamein chhodiye."
"Main tumhe chhod dunga lekin meri baat suno." Kunal Bela ko chhod deta hai. "Mere paas tumhara-"
"Hamein aapka kuchh nahi chahiye. Apni izzat apne haath mein hoti hai. Apne pair par khud ham kulhadi nahi marne wale hain. Waise bhi yeh hamare usoolon ke khilaf hain."
Bela phir se jane wali hoti hai jab Kunal Bela ka haath pakad ke se use apne paas kheechta hai. "Listen to me! Mujhe koi shauk nahi hai tumhe gifts dene ka. Yeh tumhari ring hai jo tum yahan bhool gayi thi. Yeh lo." Kunal anguthi Bela ke left haath mein pakda deta hai.
"Hamari anguthi!" Bela apne right haath se koshish karti hai anguthi pehenne ki par bhari catalogue ki wajah se anguthi gir jati hai. Kunal Bela ki anguthi uthakar use de deta hai. Jab Bela dobara koshish karti hai to phir se anguthi girne wali hoti hai lekin Kunal pehle hi use pakad leta hai. Frustrate hokar Kunal khud hi anguthi Bela ko pehna deta hai.
"Yeh hamari sagai ki anguthi hai, bohot keemti hai. Thank you, apne ise sambhal ke rakha. Ab hamein jana hoga." Bela wahan se jaldi se chali jati hai.
Sagai ki anguthi? Bela ki mangni ho chuki hai? Kaun pagal isse shaadi karna chahta hai? Lagta hai uska dimag bhi iski tarah kharab hoga.
Bela anguthi lekar neeche jati hai aur Dadi ke paas khade ho jati hai. Shaivi Kunal ko anguthi deti hai. Kunal Bela ki taraf dekhta hai aur dono ke nain milte hain.
"Anguthi pehnao, Kunal," Sonia kehti hai. Kunal Maan ka haath leta hai aur uski ring finger mein anguthi pehna deta hai. "Maan, ab tum Kunal ko pehnao." Maan Kunal ki ungli mein anguthi pehna deti hai. Pura samay Kunal Bela ko aur Bela Kunal ko dekhe jate hain, lekin kisi ko koi khabar nahi hoti, Maan ko chhodkar kyunki ab uski nazar un dono par hai.
I know I don't believe in shaadi and love. Bhagwan ka ishara and all are just made up shit, lekin something just doesn't feel right. Yeh sab galat lag raha hai as if jo ho raha hai wo nahi hona chahiye. Kya main jo kar raha hoon wo sahi hai? Of course, sahi hai. Ghar wale yahi chahte hain, Maan bhi yahi chahti hai. Maan is perfect for me, wo hamari duniya se hai aur sab use pasand karte hain, accept karte hain. This is right, Kunal. Tujhe second thoughts nahi aa sakte hain, you made the right decision!
---☆---
Sagai ho gayi! Sab sahi se ho gaya, lekin phir bhi aisa lag raha hai jaise kuchh hai jo sahi nahi hai. Dil bechain ho raha hai, rone ka dil kar raha hai. Kya hogaya tumhe, Bela? Kabu karo apne aap par.
"Bela, puttar, shagun ki thaal kahan hain? Shaivi ko diya tha lekin wo kahin nazar nahi aa rahi hai."
"Dadi ji, Shaivi ne hamein hi diya tha rakhne ke liye. Upar hai, guest bedroom mein. Ham jake abhi le aate hain."
Sonia dono ko baat karte sun leti hai aur un dono ke paas chale jati hai. "Upar kya kar raha hai? Sagai neeche hai, aur Mummy ji ne to bata diya tha na ki shagun dena hai?"
"Koi baat nahi hai, Bhabhi. Abhi le aayegi Bela. Jao beta, thaal le ao." Maya kehti hai.
"Tum janti nahi ho. Inhe jitna chhut do utna phailte jate hain. Inhe hoda tight karke rakhna padta hai."
"Koi baat nahi, Sonia aunty, ham samajhte hain. Ham abhi le aate hain." Bela chali jati hai. Dadi bhi apne saheliyon ke paas chali jati hai.
"Kaam achha karti hai," Sonia kehti hai. "Itne kam samay mein itni saari tayyariyan karna aasan nahi hai."
"Phir bhi aap iske saath sakht hain. Aap abhi bhi roka wali baat ko lekar upset hain?"
"Kaam achha karti hai, lekin iski niyat achhi hai iska koi guarantee nahi hai."
"Bhabhi, aap bekar mein shak kar rahin hain. Us din jo hua wo ek misunderstanding tha. Bela ne jaan- boojh ke cancel kiya hoga. Isse uska position risk pe aa jayega company mein."
"Position koi mayine nahi rakhega jab koi ameer ladka haath lag jayega."
"Come on, Bhabhi. I think you are too soon to judge."
"I hope you are right. Lekin uske harkaton ki wajah se uska jo image ban gaya hai, ek shak jo paida ho gaya hai use mitana aur badalna itna aasan nahi hoga. Anjaan logon pe bharosa karna mushkil hota hai, lekin agar us anjaan ka galat raye ban jaye to bharosa karna aur mushkil hota hai."
"You're not wrong, lekin aap koshish kariye khula dimag rakhne ka. Main aapke liye hi keh rahi hoon. Agar aap uski wajah se pareshan rahengi to aapka dhyaan pura samay uspar laga rahega aur aap enjoy nahi kar payengi. Aapke dono bacchon ki shaadi hai, aapko sabse zyada enjoy karna chahiye. Yeh mauka dobara nahi aayega. Aur Aarohi jald hi Germany bhi ja rahi hai do saal ke liye, uske saath wakt bitaiye. Jahan aap wedding planners ke chakkar mein pad rahi hain?"
"Sahi keh rahi ho tum, Maya. Tum ho hi, sab sambhal logi agar kuchh bhi hua to."
"Aur kya. Aap bas bacchon par dhyaan dijiye."
---☆---
Aarohi ki sagai bhi ho gayi, aur ham kuchh nahi paye. Lekin abhi bhi wakt hai, shaadi se pehle do hafte hain. Hamein jo karna hai jaldi karna hoga.
Adhij us kamre ke bagal wale kamre mein ruka hai aaj ke liye. Ham uska kamra dekhein kya? Hamein pata hai yeh galat hai lekin us lucche aadmi ke saath ham kya sahi- galat ka dhyaan rakhein? Hey Ganga Maiyya, hamein maaf karna, lekin agar hamein uske khilaf kuchh mil jaye to ham Kunal ko apne baat par yakeen dila sakenge aur Aarohi ko bacha lenge. Ham yeh sab achhe irade se kar rahe hain.
Bela darwaza kholne wali hoti hai jab use kuchh awaz sunai deti hai. Bela door knob ghumati hai lekin darwaza andar se band hota hai. Bela khidki khuli dekhti hai lekin andar nahi jati hai kyunki andar Adhij hota hai.
Yeh to Shaivi hai. Adhij ne ise jakad ke rakha hai. Zaroor wo use dara- dhamka raha hoga. Kya Shaivi ko bhi Adhij ki sacchai pata lag gayi? Kya Shaivi pakdi gayi Adhij pe nazar rakhte hue? Hamein uski madad karni chahiye. Par yeh keh kya raha hai, kuchh sunai nahi de raha hai.
"Mujhe pata hai tum yahan kyun aayi ho, to tumne jo kuchh bhi abhi suna, koshish mat karna kisi ko batane ki, warna tumhara pardafash kar dunga aur tumhe Veer khud dhakke maar ke ghar se nikalega."
"Mujhe chhod do. Main nahi janti tumhara plan kya hai aur tum kya karna chahte ho. Mujhe usse koi matlab nahi hai. Mujhe jane do."
Kya baat ho rahi hai dono ke beech? Bela thoda paas uchakti hai taki sun sake. Thodi der dhyaan lagakar sunne ki koshish karne par use sunai dene lagta hai.
"Par mujhe pata hai tumhara plan kya hai. Ab tum ekdam chup rahogi. Jo yahan hua, sab bhool jao, warna tum janti ho kya hoga." Adhij Shaivi ko jane deta hai. Bela wahan se bhag jati hai taki koi use dekh na le.
Hamein Shaivi se baat karni hogi. Shayad wo hamari madad kar sakti hai Adhij ka sach sabke samne lane mein. Par hamein saavdhan rehna hoga. Agar ham Shaivi ko chauka denge to wo shayad hamari koi madad na kare.
Dhat teri ki, agar ham iska video bana lete to Kunal ko yakeen dila sakte the. Phir hamare paas thos saboot hota us lafange ke khilaf. Shaivi , ab tum hamari umeed ho.
---☆---
"Shaivi, hamein tumse bohot zaroori baat karni hai."
"Haan, bataiye na Bela Di," Shaivi kehti hai.
Lagta hai yeh sadme mein hai, is liye hamein pareshan nahi kar rahi hai. Itna dara diya us chirkut ne Shaivi ko. Ab to use pakadwana hi hoga. "Abhi nahi. Yahan bohot log hain. Tum hamse raat ke 12 baje chhat pe milo."
"Chhat pe 12 baje? Main aisa kuchh nahi karne wali hoon. Aisi kya baat hai jo aapko itni der raat hi karni hai?"
"Hai kuchh baat. Tum aana, ham sab batayenge."
"Maine bola na, main kahin nahi jane wali hoon, raat ke 12 baje to bilkul nahi."
Bela Shaivi ko achanak hug karti hai taki wo uske kaan mein bol sake, "Hamne tumhe dekh liya tha Adhij ke saath. Hamse milna hoga tumhe waarna hamein aur koi upaye lagana hoga jaise Kunal, Ansh ya Veer se baat karna."
Inhone sun liya sab? Ab to inhe pakka shak hoga hampar. Inko sambhal lenge lekin agar baat bahar gayi to inki wajah se hamara khulasa ho isse pehle Adhij hamara sach bata dega sabko. Aur agar Adhij kuchh karega to wo bohot hi bura hoga. Kaisi phooti kismat hai meri. "Main aa jaungi chhat pe 12 baje, lekin aapne jo kuchh bhi suna kisi ko mat bataiyega."
"Yeh baat sirf ham dono ke beech rahegi."

A/N:
Jhatka laga kisi ko? Kya hai Shaivi ka sach? Kyun lar rahi hai wo yeh sab, kar kya rahi ho? Itna to tay hai ki ham sab ko jaisa laga tha, Shaivi waisi nahi hai. Yeh main character hai villain hai? Comment kariye aapko kya lagta hai.
Aisa koi hai jisko aisa kuchh hone wala hai uska bhanak pehle lag gaya ho?
Agar aapko chapter pasand aaya to vote zaroor kariyega.
