Zulmaat Ka Devta



Kerosine lamp ki raushni us ghata-top andhere me aisi hi lag rahi thi jaise gahre kaale badalon se dhake huye aasman me kahin koi nanha sa udaas taara nazar aa jaaye.
Daisy apni nazar ko bhi usi raushni hi tak seemit rakhna chaahti thi. Us me itni himmat nahin thi ki baahar phaile huye andhere ki taraf aankhen bhi utha sakti. Un logon ne yahi badi kripaa kiya tha ki usay ek chhota sa tent de diya tha. Is par majboor nahin kiya tha ki wo bhi unhin khemon me se ek me raat guzaare.....jo samaan dhone waale mazdooron ya khud un ke liye tha. Magar Daisy soch rahi thi ki kya usay neend aa sakegi? Agar darawani sochen dimaag se jhatak bhi diye jaayen to ye samudra tat se takraane waali lahron ka shor aur dusri taraf jangal se aane waali bhayanak aawazen kab sone dengi. Wo nahin jaanti thi ki jis tapoo me film ki shooting hone waali hai wo itna weeran aur itna darawana hoga.
Sham dhalte hi wo kinaare par utre the aur Daisy ne director ke bartaav me saaf antar mahsoos kiya tha. Bas aisa hi laga tha jaise uski poori vyaktitva hi badal gayi ho. Yahaan pahunchne se pahle uske lahje me badi mithaas thi. Aur Daisy ne anumaan lagaya tha ki wo nishchit hi koyi high qualifide aur shareef aadmi hai.
Port Sayeed me usi ne us se karobaari baat cheet ki thi.....aur iss film ke liye agreement kiya tha jis ki shooting ek nazdiki taapu me hone waali thi.
Ye se kuchh bas achanak sanyog se hua tha. Daisy ek shaam shahar ke ek chhote se cafe me chai peene ke liye ruk gayi thi.
Magar wahan rukna kewal sanyog nahin tha. Office se waapasi par lagbhag har din wo sham ki chai wahin piya karti thi. Hamesha ki tarah us sham ko bhi akeli hi thi. Shayad hi kabhi kisi ne uske sath koi mard bhi dekha ho. Wahaan ke kisi customer ne bhi kabhi us se mil baithne ki koshish nahin ki thi, Iska kaaran shayad yahi ho sakta tha ki Daisy ka rakh-rakhaao opposite gender ke liye attractive nahin rahta tha. Bahut sundar aur aakarshak ladki thi lekin nain naksh me teekhapan bhi tha. Chup baithi ho to aisa lagta tha ki andar hi andar kisi baat pe kudh rahi ho. Aisa lagta thi ki jahaan koi us se bola ki bas phaad hi khayegi. Ye aur baat hai ki us se baat cheet karte samay kabhi kisi ne lahje me tez mizaaji hi halki si jhalak bhi na mahsoos kiya ho.
Lekin us sham jo kuchh hua usay anhoni hi kahna chaahiye. Us ne cafe me aa kar ek khali mez chuni thi aur wahaan ke eklaute waiter ka intezaar kar rahi thi. Lekin us se pahle hi ek ajnabi uski taraf badha tha.
"Madam....kya aap mujhe thoda sa time dengi?" us ne kuchh jhuk kar bade hi gentle dhang se puchha tha aur wo nervous ho gayi thi.
Dress aur style se wo koi sabhya aadmi hi laga tha.
"jj....ji....yy....yes sure....." wo zabardasti muskura kar haklaayi thi.
Us ne baithne se pahle ek baar phir se anumati maangi thi.....aur apna card us ki taraf badha diya tha.
"Ohhh...." Daisy ki aankhen hairat se phail gayi thin kyon ki wo to Misr(Egypt) ka ek seb se popular film director tha aur wo khud bhi us ke banaayi huyi films bahut pasand karti thi.
Kuchh formal baat cheet ke baad wo khula tha.
"Main aaj kal ek nayi film ki tayari kar raha hun madam aur us ke liye mujhe naye chehron ki talash hai. Aap ko agar film se interest hai to aap ye bhi jaanti hongi ki mere select kiye huye naye chehre ek hi film me star ho jaate hain." "jj....ji haan.....main jaanti hun."
"Mujhe ek heroine ki talash hai."
"Ohh.....to phir....mm...main kya kar sakti hun?" Us ne bechaini se puchha.
"Main aap ko kayi dinon se dekh raha hun. Maaf kijiyega.....I think ki us film ke liye aap se adhik suitable heroine aur koi nahin ho sakti. Again sorry for my straight talk."
Daisy ke liye ye ek bahut hi sansani-poorn anubhav tha. Kyonki us ki sab se pasandida entertainment film dekhna hi thi. Aur aam ladkiyon ki tarah wo bhi apne herine banne ki sambhavanaaon ko lekar hawaai mahal banaya karti thi.
Atlast dusre din hi wo usay apni maa ke paas le gayi aur budhi aurat ne ek bhaari rakam ke badle apni sahmati prakat kar di thi. Maamlaat tai ho gaye the. Lekin Daisy ne isay raaz hi rakha tha. Wo nahin chaahti thi ki ye baat uske firm ke asstt manager tak pahunche jo usay har keemat par firm hi me dekhna chaahta tha. Daisy uska kaaran bhi jaanti thi lekin khud asstt manager us samay tak nahin khula tha.
Anyway Daisy ne agreement sign kar diye the aur director ke anusar ek 'nazdiki taapu' ke safar ki taiyari kar rahi thi. Ye aur baat hai ki safar ka ant 8-10 ghante ke bajaaye 3 din baad hua. Raaste me usay yahi jawaab mila ki wo raah bhatak gaye hain aur ab kaafi ghumaao phiraao ke baad unka boat tapoo tak pahunch sakegi. Usay vishwaas nahin hua tha aur wo chintaaon me ghir gayi thi. Phir usay ye baat bhi buri tarah khatakne lagi thi ki 20 logon ki party me wo akeli ladki hai. Kya story me kewal ek hi aurat hogi? Us ne iske baare me bhi puchha tha jis ka jawab ye mila tha ki kuchh log aage bhi jaa chuke hain jin me 6-7 ladkiyaan bhi shaamil hain.
Lekin yahaan pahunch kar usay iss party ke alaawa door door tak aur koi nahin dikhayi diya tha. Wo to pahle hi se uljhan me thi.
Phir kinaare par utarte hi wo uss party ke baare me kyon na puchhti jo kuchh din pahle yahaan aa chuki thi.
Jawab me director ne usay iss buri tarah jhidki di thi ki wo sannaate me aa gayi. Us ne us ke lahje me darindagi mahsoos ki thi. Wo usay aisa hi khunkhaar laga tha ki phir wo us se aankhen milaane ki bhi himmat na kar saki thi.....aur ab us ki samajh me na aa raha tha ki usay kya karna chaahiye.
Saahil ki taraf se aane waali tez hawaayen tent ko buri tarah jhinjhod rahi thin. Lamp kabhi ka bujh gaya hota agar wo mamooli banawat ki hoti.
Achanak Daisy ne kadmon ki aahat suni aur seedhi ho kar baith gayi. Us ka dil tezi se dhadak raha tha. Phir jaise hi kisi ne tent ka parda hataya wo uth khadi huyi.
Aane wala wahin par ruk gaya. Ye wahi director tha jisay uske sathi Mr Bin Haam kah kar sambodhit karte the. Boat par hi Daisy ko pata chala tha ki us ka koi dusra naam bhi hai warna film director ki haisiyat se wo usay Yusuf Gamil ke naam se jaanti thi. Wo kisi jaduyi aakarshan ki tarah uske chehre par nazar tikaaye rahi. Is samay wo kitna darawana lag raha tha. Aisa hi lag raha tha jaise Daisy ne usay pahli baar dekha ho.
Yahi chehra us ne Port Sayeed me bhi aksar dekha tha. Lekin wahaan us par kitni narmi mahsoos hoti thi. Us ne aksar socha tha ki wo bad-soorat zaroor hai lekin kitna achha dil rakhta hai seene me jis ki jhalkiyaan aankhon me hi dekhi jaa sakti hain. Magar ab wo aankhen kitni bhayanak lag rahi thin. Moti si bhaddi naak.....tang peshani....bhaari jabde aur baayen nathune ke jod pe ek bada sa kaala ubhra hua til, Kitna khauf-naak chehra tha.....wo kaanp gayi.
"Kya tum dar rahi ho?" Bin Haam ne bharrayi huyi aawaz me puchha.
Daisy kuchh na boli. Wo buri tarah haanf rahi thi.
"Darne ka koi kaaran nahin." Wo muskuraaya. "Ye adventure bhi tumhen zindagi bhar yaad rahega." "Wo dusri ladkiyaan kahaan hain?" Daisy ke muhh se badi kathinaayi se nikal saka.
"Dusri ladkiyan...!" Bin Haam aage badhta hua bola..."Kya dusri ladkiyon ka hona tumhara darr door kar dega?"
Daisy phir kuchh na boli. Bhala is sawal ka jawab hi kya hota. Bin Haam ne canvas ke chhote se folding stool par baithte huye kaha. "Tumhare baare me mera anuman tha ki tum adventure pasand karti ho.....baith jaao." Daisy waise hi khadi rahi.
Achanak Bin Haam ne krodh bhari aawaz me kaha "Baith jaao....kya tum ne suna nahin." Daisy chup chap baith gayi.
"Kya tumhen apna baap Gasper yaad hai?" Haam ne kuchh der baad puchha.
"Kyon....?" Daisy chaunk padi. "Aap unhen kya jaanen....wo to das saal huye..........."
"Haan main jaanta hua uski maut ke das saal ho gaye. Main ne puchha tha wo tumhen yaad hai?"
"Main nahin samajh sakti un ka charcha kyon chheda hai aap ne...pahle to kabhi......"
"Ladkiiiiiii....kewal mere sawaalon ke jawaab do." Haam ne uski baat ko kaat'te huye kaha.
Achanak Daisy ne bhi jhunjlaahat mahsoos ki. Wo soch rahi thi ki wo is tarah ke betuke sawaal kyon kar raha hai. "Main apne baap ka zikr sunna pasand nahin karti.....aur na hi un ke sambandh me kisi sawaal ka jawaab doongi. Haam usay tez nigaahon se ghoor raha tha.

Update-2
Zulmaat Ka Devta:
Safdar ko is ke alawa aur kisi baat ki chinta na thi ki Dangu ka kya hua. Kya Monica ne usay maar daala hoga. Waise wo to ab bhi 'Kabir Hause" me hi rah rahi thi.....aur Dangu ka casino ab bhi chal raha tha. Lekin Safdar ko wahaan un aadmiyon me se ek bhi dikhayi nahin diya jinhone Dangu aur Monica ki ladaayi me sar dhar ki baaziyaan lagayi thin.
Raat ke 9 baje the. Safdar casino me hi ek table par Imran ka wait kar raha tha. Pichhle 3 dinon se wo yahin mil rahe the. Safdar ab bhi usi hotel me rah raha tha.....aur aaj bhi usay pata nahin tha ki Imran kahan thahra hua hai.
Uski jaankari ke anusar Julia aur Chauhan waapas jaa chuke the. Lekin un ki waapasi ka kaaran bhi Imran se nahin maloom ho saka tha.
Kaale taapuon ke safar ki baat bhi us ke liye uljhan ka kaaran bana hua tha.
Khud Imran ka vichar bhi yahi tha ki iss baare me badi kathinaaiyaan saamne aayengi. X2 ke local agenton ne to saaf saaf kah diya tha ki wo iss safar ki bandobast ka zimma nahin le sakte. Is ka sab se bada kaaran ye tha ki ye taapuen aam jahaazi raaston se alag thalak awasthit the.
Anyway Safdar ki samajh se to ye safar asambhav hi sa ho kar rah gaya tha. Phir kya Imran pichhe hat jaayega?
9.15 pe Imran apni sampoorn murkhtaaon samet ek darwaaze me dikhayi diya. Lekin sharir par aisa dress nahin tha ki us par akaaran hi nazren uthen. Aaj kal wo iss sambandh me kaafi sawadhani barat raha tha. Aisi harkaten nahin karta tha ki log us ki taraf aakarshit ho jaayen. Haan agar sadharan haalat me chehre par murkhta bhi nazar na aaye to Imran hi kaisa.
Dhire dhire chalta hua wo Safdar ki mez tak aaya aur iss tarah sar jhuka kar baith gaya jaise kisi apne ka antim sanskar se lauta ho.
"Kyon....? Khairiyat hai...? Kya baat hai?" Safdar zabardasti muskuraaya.
"umm...umm....kuchh nahin....." Imran ne thandi saans li aur phir kaha "Main kab se soch raha hun ki murge ki doom ko jharna kyon nahin kahte."
"Aur main ye soch raha hun ki yahaan hamaare makbare kis namoone ke banenge." "Chinta mat karo....main design taiyar kar raha hun." Imran ne ek aankh dabaayi.
"Ham kab tak is tarah jhak maarte rahenge?"
"Jab tak ki jhak khud hamen hi maarne ko taiyar na ho jaaye."
"To is baare me kisi tarah ki baat bhi na ki jaaye?" Safdar ne gusse bhare swar me kaha,
Imran kuchh kahne hi waala tha ki ek waiter ne chaandi ke plate me ek lifafa pesh kiya aur do kadam pichhe hat kar adab ke sath khada ho gaya.
Imran lifafa se khat nikaal raha tha. Safdar ki uchat'ti nigaal likhawat par padi. Lekin wo khat ke sandesh ko nahin jaan paaya.
Lekin itna anumaan ho hi gaya ki 2 line ka wo koi sandesh hi ho sakta hai.
"Ok.....chalo...." Wo lifafa ko tod marod kar jeb me thoonsta hua utha aur Safdar ko bhi sath aane ka ishara kar ke waiter ke pichhe chal pada.
Kuchh der baad wo 'Kabir House' ke residencial hisse ke ek kamre me the. Waiter unhen wahaan pahuncha kar jaa chuka tha.
"Dangu ka kya bana?" Safdar ne dhire se puchha.
"Bhala us bechaare ka kya ban sakta. 2-4 inch bhi bada hota to main usay assistant Tahseeldaar banwa deta."
"Nahin main us ke baare me seriously soch raha hun."
"Soche jaao....lekin Monica ke saamne unchi aawaz me na sochna warna ho sakta hai tumhen apni birth date yaad aa jaaye." Phir Safdar ke kuchh kahne se pahle hi Monica kamre me aa gayi aur wo usay dekhta hi rah gaya. Lambi chaudi hone ke baad bhi wo badi hi dilkash thi. Aur iss samay to.......specially us ka husn nikhar aaya tha kyon ki pahle kabhi Safdar ne usay itne achhe mood me nahin dekha tha. Aankhon me ajeeb si chamak thi aur honton ke kinaare is dhang se thirak rahe the jaise wo hansi rokne ki koshish kar rahi ho. Aur wo Imran hi ki taraf dekh rahi thi.
"Kyon shaitaan ke guru....kis chinta me ho?" us ne Imran hi se puchha.
"Tum ne mujhe pahchaanne me galati ki hai. Mujhe yaad nahin ki kabhi main ne kisi aurat ko apna chela banaya ho......waise kya tum fauran hi kaam ki baaten nahin shuru kar saktin?"
"haan...aannn....kaam ki baaten...." Wo saamne waale sofe par baithti huyi boli. (Jaari)

"Tum ne mujhe pahchaanne me galati ki hai. Mujhe yaad nahin ki kabhi main ne kisi aurat ko apna chela banaya ho......waise kya tum fauran hi kaam ki baaten nahin shuru kar saktin?"
"haan...aannn....kaam ki baaten...." Wo saamne waale sofe par baithti huyi boli.(Aage....)
"Yahaan ka koi jahaazi(Sailor) is safar ke liye raazi na ho saka." "Phir kya hoga?"
"Ab ek antim ghar dekhna hai. Agar us me bhi nakaami huyi....to phir kuchh bhi na ho sakega." "Ho sakega...." Imran ne josh bhare swar me kaha.
"Kya ho sakega?" Monica ne laparwaahi se kandhe uchkaaye.
"Badle ki aag thandi pad gayi..." Imran ne vyang bhare swar me kaha.
"Tum galat samjhe. Aag ab pahle se bhi tez bhadak uthi hai."
"Dekho...." Imran hath utha kar bola...."Main abhi tak isi liye ruka hua raha ki tum ne safar ke bandobast ki zimmedaari liya tha."
"Thik hai. Main samajhti hun. Lekin dusri sthiti me tum kya karte?"
"Ye mat puchho. Main samandar ki satah par bhi 400km/ghanta ki raftaar se daud sakta hun."
"Shhhh.....is samasya me tum bilkul bebas dikhaayi doge." Monica ne bura sa muhh bana kar kaha.
"Kisi antim ghar ki baat kar rahi thi tum...."
"Haan....tumhen is samay bulaane ka maksad yahi tha ki us par bhi gaur kiya jaaye. Is sambandh me jis vyakti se saamna hoga wo bahut chalaak hai. Shayad Dangu se bhi adhik. Lekin wo gumnaami me zindagi guzaar raha hai. Koi nahin jaanta ki uske kayi maal-waahak jahaz gair kanooni dhang se us ke liye karodon ki kamaayi karte hain."
"Achha to phir?"
"Phir kya. Main dekhungi ki tum kis tarah us ko raazi karte ho."
"Sawaal ye hai ki ham us se kahenge kya?" Safdar bola...."Asli maksad to prakat nahin kar sakte."
"Ohh.....shayad tum ne samundari luteron ke chupaaye huye khazaanon ki charcha bhi kiya tha." Imran ne Monica se puchha. "Haan.....ye baat famous hai ki un taapion me zameen me gade huye khazaane bhi hain. Khud mere baap Hopy ne bhi prakat me isi maksad se safar kiya tha.....aur mujhe pata hai ki wo kisi taapu ke kinaare par utra tha." "Anjaam kya hua tha us safar ka?" Safdar ne puchha.
"Aath aadmiyon ki party me se kewal Hopy zinda waapas aa saka tha. Lekin us ne bhi detail kabhi nahin bataayi. Yahi kahta raha ki wo us jagah tak pahunch hi nahin saka jahaan khazaane ke milne ki aasha thi."
Imran chewingum ka packet phaad raha tha aur us ki aankhen soch me doobi huyi thin. Achanak us ne kaha "Magar tumhen vishwaas hai ki wo Bogha ki hi talash me gaya hoga."
"Mujhe vishwaas hai."
"Lekin aakhir kis aadhaar par us ne itna bada khatra mol liya hoga?"
"Wo bhi badle ki aag me jal bhun raha tha."
"Ohho....kya boga ne usay direct koi takleef pahunchayi thi?"
"Us ne uske do jawaan bhaiyon ko maut ke ghaat utaar diya tha. Aur ant'tah uski maut ka kaaran bhi bana. Hopy itna chhichhoda nahin tha ki wo un papers ka sauda kisi desh ki sarkar se kar leta. Wo apne bhaaiyon ke hatyaare ko bech nahin sakta tha. Ye Tony ki bakwaas thi ki wo badi keemat lagaane waali kisi party ki talash me tha." Imran phir kisi soch me pad gaya. Kayi sawaal Safdar ke dimaag me bhi kulbula rahe the.
"Yahaan un logon me se ek bhi nahin dikhaayi deta jinhone tumhare khilaaf Dangu ya Bogha ka sath diya tha." Safdar aakhir puchh hi baitha.
"Wo sab meri qaid me hain." Monica muskuraayi. "us jhagde ka pata kewal unhin ko tha jinhone us me bhaag liya tha. Dusre kuchh bhi nahin jaante. Isliye unhen raaste se hataana hi pada. Lekin wo bhi nahin jaante ki Dangu ka kya anjaam hua. Kyonki
Dangu ne antim ladaai akele hi ladne ka prayas kiya tha aur abb......."
Monica chup ho kar muskuraayi aur boli...."Ab dusron ko ye samjhaya gaya hai ki Dangu 6 month ke liye Japan gaya hai. Aksar wo Jappan ka safar karta rahta tha."
"Kya sach much tum ne usay maar daala?"
"Badle ki bhavana se kisi ko maar daalana atyant murkhta ka kaam hai. Usay to is tarah zinda rakhna chaahiye ki wo maut ko maange.....cheekh cheekh kar kahe ki mujhe maar daalo."
Imran ne Dafdar ko ghoor kar dekha. Shayad wo usay is topic par baat karne se rokna chaah raha tha.
Safdar ne phir koi sawaal nahin kiya.
"Maamle ki baat karo." kuchh pal baad Imran ne Monica se kaha.
"Yahaan se ham sath nahin jaayenge. Tum donon baahar chalo. Jab tumhen koi taxi mil jaayegi tab hi meri gaadi harkat karegi.
Tum donon chup chaap pichhe chale aana."
"Ok...." Imran sar hila kar bola."Tum ne ye nahin bataya ki us vyakti se madad haasil karne ke liye kis prakar ki kathinaaiyan saamne aa sakti hain?"
"Wo mujhe pahchaanta hai.....yahi sab se badi kathinaayi hai."
"To phir ye kathinaayi ham apne sath kyon le kar jaayen?" Imran ne kaha aur Monica hans padi.
"Akele jaa kar dekho. Tum building me prawesh bhi nahin kar sakoge. Wo aise logon se milta hi nahin jinehn pahchaanta na ho."
"Aur tumhen chunki pahchaanta hai isliye koi help nahin karega. Main is ka kaaran jaanna chaahta hun."
"Dangu."
"Main nahin samjha."
"Wo Dangu se nafrat karta hai. Clear hai ki main bhi us ki nafrat se nahin bach sakti."
"Lekin wo tum se mil sakta hai. Kewal tum se hi nahin.....agar tumhare sath kuchh ajnabi hon tab bhi."
"Mere vichar se aisa ho sakega.....tum donon mere sath andar jaa sakoge."
"Agar tum usay vishwaas dila sako ki Dangu se tumhara jhagda ho chuka hai tab kya sthiti paida hogi?"
"Wo kabhi vishwaas nahin karega. Yahi samjhega ki main kisi prakar ka fraud karna chaahti hun." "Phir to ye khayal hi chhod do." Imran ne usay tatolne waali nazar se dekh kar kaha.
"Isi liye tumhen sath le jaa rahi hun ki shayad tum koi raah nikaal sako."
"Agar mujhe us ko achhi tarah samajhne ka mauka mil jaaye....to ye namumkin bhi nahin hai. Waise meri khopadi bharosemand nahin. Abhi shareefon ki tarah baat kar raha hun. Nahin kah sakta ki kab kutton ki tarah bhaunkne lagun."
"Main uski ek khaas kamzori tumhen bata rahi hun. Socho ki tum us se kya laabh haasil kar sakte. Us ka ek partner us ke liye headache ban kar rah gaya hai. Wo us se pichha chhudaana chaahta hai. Lekin is par us ki pakad mazboot hai. Vastav me wo iske kuchh bahut hi personal type ke raaz jaanta hai. Jis ke kaaran is ko dabna padta hai." (Jaari)

Update-4
Zulmaat Ka Devta:
"Donon ke naam bataao."
"Jis ke paas ham chal rahe hain wo Gaskar kahlaata hai aur partner ka naam hai Bin Haam. Ye Bin Haam bahut chalaak aadmi hai. Gaskar ki tarah gumnam bhi nahin hai. Dono ki partnership poonji aur labour ki partnership kahi jaa sakti hai. Matlab poonji Gaskar ki hai aur labour Bin Haam ka. Lekin Bin Haam poore business kar kabza karna chaahta hai. Yahi baat Gaskar ko khatakti hai. Aur wo har keemat par us ka ant chaahta hai."
"Ohh....to ye baat Bin Haam ko bhi para hoga.....kyonki jab tumhen pata hai....."
"Sahi hai. Agar wo na jaanta hota to kab ka khatam ho gaya hota."
"Hmmm.....lekin tumhari samajh se uski is kamzori se kaise faida uthaya ja sakta hai?"
"Ab ye bhi main hi bataaun?"
"Zaroor batao....kyon ki time bahut kam hai. Main adhik din yahaan nahin rukna chaahta. Agar khud hi koi raah nikaalne baithun to is ke liye in donon ko kareeb se dekhna hoga. Jaanti ho kisi ko kareeb se dekhna kitna kathin hota hai.......kitne dinon baad tumhen kareeb se dekh raha hun."
"Monica apni aankhon me nasha paida kar ke muskuraayi.....aur Imran hindi me badbadaaya...."Yaa pitaji urf abba-jaan...." "Whattt...." Monica chaunk padi.
"Kuchh nahin....main apne sathi se mashwira maang raha tha. Ham aapas me paitrik bhasha ka hi prayog karte hain." Imran ne uttar diya.
"Paitrik bhasha....?" Monica ne hairat se duhraaya.
"Haan....hamaari taraf maayen aksar goongi hoti hain. Is liye 'Father Tongue' hi chalti hai."
"Nahin.......mujhe dar mahsoos hota hai aisi bhasha sun kar jise main samajh na sakun. Isliye mere presence me sawadhani barto. Anyway....utho hamen Gaskar se milne chalna chaahiye."
Imran ne phir Safdar ki taraf dekha. Shayad wo usay khamosh hi dekhna chaahta tha.
"Suno.....ham yahaan se sath nahin jaayenge." Monica ne uthte huye kaha. "Tum donon baahar jaa kar ek taxi lo." Safdar ne darwaaze ki taraf mudte huye bura sa muhh banaya tha.
Baahar aa kar us ne kaha "Hamare sath jaane me kya buraayi thi?"
"Hoshiyar rahna....!" Imran bola. "Shayad ham phir kisi uljhan me padne waale hain."
"Kyon....kyon?"
"Parwaah mat karo....taxi dekho."
Safdar aage badh gaya. Kabir House ke gate ke nikat hi ek taxi mil gayi.
Abhi wo baithne bhi nahin paaye the ki Monica ki buke gate se nikli jise wo khud hi drive kar rahi thi.
"Isi gaadi ke pichhe chalo." Imran ne driver se kaha.
Buke ki raftar tez nahin thi. Kuchh der baad Safdar ne kaha "Ab ham nishchit roop se koi badi galti karenge. Meri samajh se to Monica bharose mand nahin hai."
Imran kuchh na bola. Safdar ne apni baat jaari rakhi.
"Iss samay ki be sar pair ki scheme mujhe samajh me nahin aayi."
"Iss liye sabar karo....aur....aur....ohh....ye to aisa lagta hai ki ham khandaron ki basti me safar kar rahe hain."
Charon taraf toote phoote makaan dikhayi de rahe the aur taxi aise raaste par chal rahi thi jise sadak to kisi haalat me nahin kaha ja sakta tha.
Gaadi ki head lamps hi raasta dikha rahe the warna yahaan raushni kahan. Tabhi monica ki gaadi ki pichhli red light jaag uthi. "Rok do..." Imran ne driver se kaha. Monica ki car ki speed bhi bahut kam ho gayi thi. Andaaz rukne hi jaisa tha.
Wo dono taxi se utar aaye. aur Imran ne kiraaya ada karte huye driver se kaha. "Agar tum us taraf diwaaron ke pichhe ruk sako to waapas bhi ja sakenge. Waapasi me tumhen adhik laabh hoga."
"No sir..." Driver la lahja achha nahin tha. Safdar ne us samay bhi us ki aankhon me sandeh ki jhalak dekhi thi jab wo gaadi ke bhitar raushni kar ke un ki shaklon ko dekh raha tha.
"Kya problem hai?" Imran ne puchha.
"Bass sir...." Driver ki aawaz me ab bhi kathorta thi "Agar mujhe pata hota ki aap idhar aayenge to main is par taiyar hi na hota." "Lekin kyon dost..." Imran ne dhire se puchha lekin uski aawaz shayad engine ke shor me dab kar rah gayi. Driver gaadi back kar raha tha.
Monica apni gaadi se utar kar unki taraf badh rahi thi, Chandani raat thi aur aas paas bikhre huye khandaron ka sannaata bada hi rahasyamay lag raha tha.
"Chalo....tumlog ruk kyon gaye?" Monica nazdik aa kar boli. "Kuchh door paidal bhi chalna padega. Aage raasta aisa nahin ki gaadi jaa sake."
"Gaskar kisi anubhavi ulloo ka naam to nahin hai." Imran ne ulloo ki tarah aankhen nachaate huye kaha. "Ohh ye bastiii.........basti vastav me aage hai. haha....tum samjhe shayad wo in khandaron me rahta hai." "Chalo...." Imran hath utha kar bola.
Monica aage thi aur ye donon pichhe chal rahe the. Raat thandi thi lekin itni bhi nahin ki Imran kisi sardi khaye huye bchche ki tarah kaanpne lagta. Uske halak se aisi hi aawazen nikal rahi thin jaise wo daant par daant jamaaye rakhne ki koshish kar raha ho.
"Kyon...? Kya ho gaya tumhen?" Monica ne chalte chalte ruk kar kaha.
"ss,,,,sardi....ll...lag rahi hai...." Imran ne kaanpte huye jawab diya.
"Sardi....? Monica ne hairat se kaha "Sardi kahaan hai........ohh...." us ne thahaaka lagaya..."Shayad tum dar rahe ho..." "Ho...ho...hope..."
"Agar in khandaron se dar rahe ho to Zulmaat me tumhara kya haal hoga?" "Wahaan ss...sardi to nahin hoti...." Imran ne daant kitkitaaye.
"Ohh....chalo..." Monica ne us ka kandha daboch kar aage badhaya.
Kuchh hi der baad wo ek basti me prawesh kiye. Bedhange banawat ke chhote bade makaanon ka silsila shuru ho gaya tha.
Iss samay wo ek sakri gali se guzar rahe the aur Monica ne torch jala li thi. Wo kewal apne kadmon ki aawazen sun rahe the.
Wahaan to marghat jaisa sannaata chhaya hua tha.
Kuchh der baad Monica ek makaan ke saamne ruk gayi. Lekin ab wo gali se nikal aaye the aur yahan donon taraf makaanon ke bich kaafi distance tha.
Monica ne darwaaze par dastak di aur achanak wo teeno tez kism ki raushni me naha gaye. Safdar ne baukhla kar upar dekha aur uski aankhen chaundhiya si gayin.

Bahut powerful searchlight thi. Monika barabar dastak diye jaa rahi thi. Kuchh der baad raushni gayab ho gayi aur darwaza ke pichhe se bharraayi huyi si aawaz aayi "Aahaa....Lady Monica....! Magar tumhare sath do ajnabi bhi hain.....shayad videshi...."
"Yess.....ham dostana mahaul me baat karenge. Hopy ki beti zubaan ki pakki hai."
"Gaskar bhi darpok nahin hai." Awaaz aayi aur halki si charcharahat ke sath darwaaza khula. Magar bhitar andhera tha.
Sidhe chale aao..." Aawza aayi. "Left side light milegi wahin ruk jaana."
Monica aage thi. Imran ne Safdar ko dhakka diya. Aur wo bedili se aage badha. Corridoor me enter karte hi pata chal gaya ki wahan gahra andhera nahin tha. Wo ek dusre ko dekh sakte the. Kuchh door chal kar Monica left me mudi.
Saamne hi darwaaza dikhaayi diya jis ki jhirriyon se tez raushni phoot rahi thi.
"Welcome Hopy ki beti....." Darwaaze ke pichhe se phir wohi aawaz aayi. Bolne waale ke lahje me is baar bahut kathorta thi.
Darwaaz khula aur unhen ek ajeeb si shakal dikhaayi di. Pahli nigaah me yahi tai karna mushkil tha ki wo koi aurat hai ya mard. Dress mardaana. Hathon me chamakdaar kade. Sar ke baal is had tak zaroor badhe huye the ki pichhe se kisi aurat hi ka dhoka hota. Umar 40 se kam na rahi hogi. Lekin chehra.....chehra hi usay vichitra bana raha tha. Kyon ki siray se daadhi aur moochh thi hi nahin. Ekdam tamatar jaisi chikni khopadi. Hont patle aur donon taraf bahut lambe. Aankhen kisi khunkhaar bhediye ka bhaav de rahi thi. Anyway wo chehra kayi different bhaavon ka effect de raha tha.
"Udhar...." wo kursiyon ki taraf donon hath utha kar saanp ki tarah phuphkaara.
Safdar aur Imran ne Monica ka hi anusaran kiya. Jab wo baith chuke ti us ne Monica se puchha "Main tumhare doston ko kis language me mukhatib karun?"
"Yugoslavia ke bashinde hain lekin English jaante hain." Monica ne kaha.
"Sure.....aisa hi hoga....kyon ki shaitaan ne Adam ko sab se pahle English hi sikhaayi thi." Gaskar ne kaha phir Imran se puchha...."Kya tum dono hathiyar-band ho?"
Safdar ne jhurjhuri si li....kyon ki usay ye sawaaal Monica se hi karna chaahiye tha. Sidhe un se puchhne ka matlab to yahi ho sakta tha ki Monica ne unhen dhoka diya hai. Us ne Monica ki taraf dekha jis ke chehre se be-parwaahi zaahir ho rahi thi. Uski bhanwen tan gayin.
Dusri taraf Imran ke chehre par aise bhaav the jaise uska to dam hi niklaa jaa raha ho. Us ne abhi tak Gaskar ke sawaal ka jawaab bhi nahin diya tha.
"Kya tum bahre ho?" Achanak Gaskar gurraaya.....aur us ki aankhen pahle se bhi adhik darawani ho gayin.
"Ye sawaal tumhen us se karna chaahiye jis ke sath ham aaye hain." Safdar ne bhi jhallaaye huye lahje me kaha.
"Wo tumhare baare me kuchh bhi nahin jaanti." Gaskar ka jawaab tha aur is jawaab ne Safdar ko yakeen dila diya ki Monica hi unhen kisi jaal me phasaane waali hai.
Kam se kam Safdar to bina hathiyar ke hi tha. Imran ke baare me nahin kah sakta tha ki wo kis position me hoga.
"Lady Monica...." Gaskar ne dhire se kaha. "In ki talashi lo."
Ab Safdar ko us ke hath me revolver bhi dikhayi diya.....jis se us ne donon ko cover kar rakha tha.
"Khade ho jaao." Monica ne thande swar me kaha.
"Ye sharafat hai tumhari...." Safdar gusse se paagal hua jaa raha tha.
Monica ne uttar dene ke bajaaye sakhti se hont bhinch liye. Wo un ki jeben tatol rahi thi. Imran ne to ab kaanpna bhi shuru kar diya tha. Wo daant kitkitaata hua bola...."Khuda ke liye raham karo......wo chewingum ka packet hai." "Imran saahab hosh me aaiye." Safdar gurraaya. Bhasha hindi thi.
Imran kuchh na bola. Monica un ki jeben tatol kar hat gayi thi. Safdar soch raha tha ki ab wo is tarah un se Bogha waale papers wasool karna chaahti hai.
"Aao...." Tabhi Gaskar ne unchi aawaz me kisi ko sambodhit kiya. Dusre hi pal 6 aadmi alag alag darwaazon se andar aaye.
"Inhen maaro..." Gaskar ne Safdar aur Imran ki taraf hath utha kar kaha.
"Aye......zyada zor se na maarna....." Imran ghighiyaya. "Mere maa-baap bahu gareeb hain. Agar toot phoot bhi ho gayi to dubaara meri marammat nahin karwaa sakenge."
Safdar un se nibatne ke liye paitraa badal raha tha lekin Monica ki hansi ki aawaz us ke kaanon tak pahunch hi gayi. Is liye jhalla kar bola "Tum log apni maut ko invite kar rahe ho."
Is par Gaskar bhi hans pada tha aur Safdar ka dil chaah raha tha ki wo apni hi botiyaan noch daale. Aakhir Imran jaisa ghaagh aadmi yahaan kaise aa phansa? Usay achhi tarah yaad tha ki Kabir House se nikalne ke baad us ne kisi nayi uljhan me phans jaane ki chinta prakat ki thi. Phir us ke baad bhi aa phansa.
Wo log un ki taraf badh hi rahe the ki Imran hath utha kar bola...
"Aye....dekho....mere sathi ko maaf kar do. Abhi haal hi me us ke baap ki shadi huyi hai. Hat jaao dost tum alag hat jaao....warna tumhare naujawaan baap ka dil toot jaayega."
Gaskar ne Monica ki taraf dekha. Andaaz sawaalia tha.
Safdar jhalaaya hua tha hi. Us ne bhi kaha...."Achhi baat hai....agar ye log is par agree hon to mujhe koi aapatti nahin hogi. Jap tum mar chukoge us ke baad sochunga ki ab mujhe kya karna chaahiye."
"Samajhdaar ladke ho." Imran sar hila kar bola...."Ab tum dekhoge ki naujawaan baap ka bhurtaa kaise banta hai."
Safdar jaanta tha ki Imran se anumaan ki galati shayad hi kabhi hoti hai. Wo nishchit un 6 aadmiyon par bhaari rahega. Lekin ye zaroori nahin ki is building me 6 hi aadmi hote.
Wo chup chaap kamre ke ek kone me khisak gaya. Usay ye bhi to dekhna tha ki iss jokering ka un par kya reaction hota hai. "Chalo yahi sahi...." Us ne Gaskar ki aawaz suni....aur us ki taraf dekhne laga. Wo khud us se sambodhit tha "Tum wahin thahro....lekin apni jagah se harkat nahin karoge.....revolver me poore round maujood hain."
Phir wo sab ek sath Imran par toot pade. Kamra itna bada tha ki Imran apni kalakaari ka pradarshan kar sakta tha. Uske halak se dari dari si aawazen nikal rahi thin. Lekin hamlawaron ke hosh bhi thikaane aate jaa rahe the.
2 minuts ke andar hi andar teen aadmi bekaar hokar rah gaye. Wo iss samay aise hi jache-tule hath maar raha tha. Jo nishane par aata tha apni kanpati sahlaata hua dher ho jaata tha. Gaskar aashcharya se palken jhapka raha tha......aur Monica bilkul iss dhang se muskura rahi thi jaise ye khal usay pasand aaya ho.
Ladte ladte ek baar Imran ne Gaskar ke daahine hath par jhapattaa maara aur revolver is tarah uchhal kar Safdar ki taraf gaya jaise us ke pankh lag gaye hon. Safdar ne bhi usay catch karne me kotaahi nahin kiya.
"Khel samaapt..." Wo unhen cover karta hua dahaada.
"Nahin.....chalne do..." Imran ne haank lagaayi. "Ye bechaare bhi bahut dinon se gahri neend ko taras rahe hain."
"Gaskar aur Monica....! Tum apni jagah se hilne ki himmat nahin karna." Safdar traggar par ungali rakhta hua bola. Lekin us ne Gaskar aur Monica donon hi ke andaaz me la-parwaahi mahsoos ki. Ab to Gaskar bhi muskuraa raha tha.
Itni der me chautha bhi gira. Baaki donon ab is tarah katraa rahe the jaise apna bhi wahi anjaam dekhna nahin chaahte hon. Tabhi Monica boli....
"Tum bekaar apna samay barbaad kar rahe ho Gaskar."
