maine dekha ki chitra ki ankhe chhalak aayi thi...aaj pahli baar main bhi uske liye bhavuk ho gaya tha...maine usko samjhate huye apni baho me kas liya aur apne hoth uske hotho par rakh kar uske adhro ka raspan karne laga... dhire dhire usne bhi mujhe sahyog dena shuru kar diya..aur kuch hi der me hum dono ek dusre me samate chale gaye...
subah hote hi akhir vo din bhi aa hi gaya..amavasya ka din...ye koi nahi janta tha ki aaj ki amavas ki ye kali raat kya nayi ibarat likhegi... ? koi nahi janta tha ki iss raat ke baad ki subah hogi bhi ya nahi.... ? kis kis ki zindagi bachegi aur koun koun panch tatvo me vileen ho jayega, ye bhi nahi pata tha kisi ko... ? iska rahasya to sirf samay hi dega.
Ab Aage….
Subah neend khulte hi maine dekha ki chitra meri baaho me lipti huyi ankhe khole ek tak mujhe hi dekhe ja rahi thi. Uski ankho me ek soonapan nazar aa raha tha.
Adii—kya hua, chitra….? Tum raat bhar soyi nahi kya…?
Chitra—bas aaj tumhe jee bhar dekhne ka mann kar raha tha…main so kar iss mouke ko khona nahi chahti thi..phir na jane kab tumhara deedar ho…? bas iss darr se neend hi nahi aayi..
Adii—iska matlab ki mere so jane ke baad tum phir se dukh me doob gayi, hai na….?
Chitra—main to chudail du…raat hi mere liye din hai…magar shaam ke baad jab ye raat aati hai to kitna dard aur kitni taklife de jati hai hame, ye koi nahi janta…aur aaj ki raat to mere liye khushiyo ki saugaat ke sath sath judai ki bhi to raat thi…
“Tumne Dekha Hai Kabhi Ek Nazar Shaam Ke Baad,
Kitne Chupchap Se Lagte Hain Shajar (vriksh), Shaam Ke Baad,
Tum Suraj Ho, Tumhe Malum Kaha Hai, Raat Ka Dukh,
Tu Kisi Roz Mere Ghar Me Utar, Shaam Ke Baad.”
Adii—Jise tum judayi kahti ho,ye bhi to ho sakta hai ki vo milan ki taraf badhta hua ek kadam ho..isliye apne mann me dukh ko jagah mat do..
Chitra—mujhe ek baar aur apko pyar karna hai…
Adii—hmmm, aa jao..
Maine chitra ko apne agosh me samet kar ek bar phir se usko pyar karte huye kaam krida me nimagn ho ho gaya.. jab ye toofan shant hua to maine uske hotho par ek chumban ankit kar ke bistar se uth gaya….ab tak bahar suraj ki lalima khatam hone aayi thi aur vah har jagah apni roshni bikherne ko taiyar nazar aane laga tha……fresh hone ke baad bahar sab ke paas aa gaya.
Sabne ek sath nasta kiya….rajnandini ne mere room me ja kar chitra ko bhi utha diya..thodi der me vo bhi hamare sath aa kar baith gayi…sabhi ke chehro par ek anjana sa darr aur khauf chhaya hua tha….
Urmila—rajnandini beti, chitra ko poore dulhan ke shringar me taiyar kar dna aaj bhi…main chahti hu ki chitra mere ghar se ek suhagan ke roop me lal joda pahan kar hi vida ho..
Rajnandini—theek hai maa ji..
sabhi ka nasta khatam hone ke baad rajnandini ne chitra ko taiyar kar diya…phir main sab ko le kar bhagwan shiv ke ussi mandir me aa gaya.
Adii—aap sab me se koi bhi yaha se bahar nahi nikalega...aur kal maine jo jo baate kahi thi, vo bhulna mat..aap sab ko iss mandir se bahar nikalne ke liye vo shaktiya koi bhi chhal kar sakti hain kyon ki vo mandir me pravesh nahi kar sakti hain...ab main chalta hu..
Rajnandini—rishi, main bhi tumhare sath chalungi..
Adii—nahi, nandini…ye kaam mujhe hi karna hoga…inn sab ki suraksha ki jimmedari main tunhare aur khatra ke upar chhod kar ja raha hu…tum dono ko inn sab ka dhyan rakhna hoga….ye kaam bhi to mera sath dena hi to hua na..
Rajnandini—agar aisa hai to theek hai…
Khatra—aap nishchint rahe malik, mere rahte koi bhi inka kuch nahi bigad sakta…
Adii—chitra, kya tum mujhe ye bata sakti ho ki tumhara parthiv sharir kis jagah par hai….?
Chitra—hmmmm, main sath me chalti hu..
Adii—nahi iski jarurat nahi hai….tum bas vo jagah bata do..
Chitra—theek hai...nikaal gaon me jo kuwa bana hua hai....uske niche hi khandahar ho chuka hamara rajmahal hai....uss mahal ke aangan me ek bada sa chabutara bana hua hai...vahi par hai...
Chitra ki baat ne hum sab ko buri tarah se chounka diya....ye jaan kar ki uss kuwa ke niche ek rajmahal bhi hai.. shock lagna swabhavik hi tha.
Shree (shock)—iska matlab ki vo kuwa, mahal ke upar bana hai…?
Chitra—hmmmm
Adii—tab to kafi time lag jayega khudayi karne me….khair chalo main dekhta hu..
Urmila/ megha—beta apna dhyan rakhna…hame bahut darr lag raha hai..
Adii—tension mat lo..bas maine jo aap sabse kaha hai, vo jarur yaad rakhna..
Chuttad—theek hai yaar...
Maine apni dono maa ka ashirwad liya aur sab ko ek bar phir se samjha kar khudayi ka samaan uthaya aur chal pada chitra ki ashthiyo ko talash karne..
Mandir se bahar jaise hi maine kadam rakha…jo aas maan ab tak khula hua tha aur chahuor dhoop bikher raha tha, vahi achanak se usko ghane baadlo ne gherna shuru kar diya…har jagah din me bhi raat ke ghane andhakr jaisa prateet hone lag gaya.
Inn sab ki parwah kiye bagair hi main apne kartavya marg par chalta gaya…mujhe ab sabse pahle uss dharti ke andar dabe huye mahal tak pahuchna tha kisi bhi tarah aur vo bhi aaj hi jitna jaldi ho sake.
Kyon ki chitra kki dead body mil jane ke baad baki khudayi se nikli huyi asthiyo ka bhi antim sanskar karna jaruri tha jisse ye jagah phir se logo ke rahne ke qabil ban sake.
Nikaal gaon ke uss kuwa ke karib pahuch kar maine dhyan dwra apni shaktiyo ko jagrit kiya aur apne charo taraf ek suraksha kawach bana liya phir uss kuwe ke andar kood gaya…usme kafi pani tha aur dusri baat ki bahut ghana andhera tha vaha…shayad uss kuwe ki gaharayi bahut jyada thi.
Maine apni shaktiyo ko jagrit avastha me kar liya tha isliye mujhe uss andhere me dekhne ke liye jyada pareshani mahsoos to nahi ho rahi thi kintu uss kuwe me jeev jantu bhi kafi tadaad me the jo mujhe apna aahaar banane ko vyakul huye ja rahe the.
Lekin mere charo taraf bane suraksha kawach ke prabhav se vo mujh tak pahuchne me asmarth ho rahe the..aur ye pani tha ki kam hone ka naam hi nahi le raha tha..ant me maine apni shaktiyo ki madad se uss pani ko sukha diya.
Pani ke sukhte hi main tezi se niche gira….main ab uss kuwe ki talahti me pahuch chuka tha…niche sirf jamin hi nazar aa rahi thi…mahal ka kahi koi surag nahi dikhayi de raha tha.
Maine vaha ki jamin ko hi khodna shuru kar diya…jaise jaise mere khodne ki speed badhti ja rahi thi..vaise vaise bahar ka mousam aur bhi khatarnak hota ja raha tha.
Khudayi karte huye mera fawda ek jagah par aa kar kisi cheez se takra ke phans gaya…maine usko bahar nikalne ki bahut koshish ki magar kamyab nahi hua..tab maine apni divya talwar ka smaran kiya aur uske hath me aate hi maine talwar ko uss sthan par laga kar jaise hi niche ki taraf thoda jor diya to vaha ki jamin fatne lag gayi..usme badi badi daraare aa gayi…maine talwar ko aur idhar udhar ghumaya hi tha ki vo jamin toot kar bikhar gayi aur uske sath hi main bhi andar samata chala gaya.
Jamin ke sath hi main andar pani me ja gira…maine dekha to vaha charo taraf malba phaila hua tha…main samajh gaya ki chitra issi mahal ki baat kar rahi thi jo ki ab poori tarah se khandahar me badal chuka hai…lekin vaha itna malba bikhara hua tha ki ye andaz laga pana behad kathin tha ki aangan ka hissa koun sa hai…?
Ye pata lagane ke liye main vahi par dhyan laga kar baith gaya…kuch hi der me poori tasveer aaine ki tarah saaf ho gayi meri ankho ke samne…main jis jagah par gira tha, uss malbe ke niche hi vo chabutara tha.
Tasveer saaf hote hi maine ankhe khol kar apna phawda dhoondne laga..vo mujhe ek taraf pada dikh gaya to maine usko uthaya aur vaha ka malba alag karne laga…malba alag hote hi vo chabutara bhi dikhayi dene laga…to maine usko todna shuru kar diya.
Maine todna start kiya hi tha ki itne me vaha moujud sabhi adrishya paraloukik shaktiyo me khalbali mach gayi… bahti shant hawao ne achanak bhayanak toofan ka roop dharan kar liya…sath me bahut hi darawni aur dil dahla dene wali bhayanak cheekhe vaha goonjne lagi.
Main inn sab baato ko darkinar kar ke apne kaam me laga raha…akhir main apni manzil ke karib pahuch hi gaya.. chabutara jaise hi toota vaise hi kisi adrishya shakti ne mujhe utha kar door phenk diya.
Main dubara uth kar vaha gaya aur malba hatane ke liye jhuka to phir se vahi hua…maine kayi bar koshish ki, natiza vahi nikla..mere jhukte hi koi utha kar door phenk deta…aisa lag raha tha ki vo aatmaye behad kroadh me aa chuki hain…
Udhar bahar ka mousam aur bhi bhayanak ho chuka tha…tez hawao ke sath sath ghanghor barish bhi hone lag gayi thi…mandir me sabhi pareshan aur chinta me doobe huye the…ki tabhi ek cheekh ne unke kaan khade kar diye..
Main dubara uth kar vaha gaya aur malba hatane ke liye jhuka to phir se vahi hua…maine kayi bar koshish ki, natiza vahi nikla..mere jhukte hi koi utha kar door phenk deta…aisa lag raha tha ki vo aatmaye behad kroadh me aa chuki hain…

Urmila (bechain)—ye…ye to mere adii ki awaz hai….lagta hai ki mera beta kisi musibat me haii….
Megha (tension)—haan didi…mujhe bhi yahi lag raha haii..
Iss cheekh ne sabhi ke hosh uda diye....urmila aur megha pareshan ho kar vaha se bhagne lagi...lekin khatra ne rok diya unhe mandir ke bahar nikalne se...
Urmila (rote huye)—mujhe jane doooo....mera adiii musibat me haiii....vo mujhe bula raha haiiii...
Khatra—mujhe maaf karna malkin....mere malik ka yahi adesh hai ki main aap ko yaha se na jane du...aap chinta na kare, malik ko kuch nahi hoga...
Megha (rote huye)—hame jane do khatra....tum ek maa ke hriday ko nahi samajh sakoge...tum mard ho na...
Rajnandini (tension)—maa ji khatra shayad sahi kah raha hai….ye unn dust aatmao ki koi chaal hai..hame yaha se bahar nikalne ki…..mere rishi ko kuch nahi hoga…..aap nirash na ho…bhole nath sab theek kar denge….
Halanki rajnandini khud bhi andar se bahut hi pareshan aur chintit thi lekin phir bhi apne aap ko kisi tarah vyagra hone se roke kar sab ko samjhane me lag gayi…haalat sabhi ki vaisi hi thi..sab mujhe le kar tension me aa chuke the iss cheekh ko sun kar.
Magar tabhi unki ankho ne kuch aisa dekha ki jiske baad sab ke sabra ka baandh toot gaya aur mari kahi sabhi baato ko bhul kar vo chillate huye mandir se bahar ki taraf bhagne lage….
Rajnandini (cheekh kar)—rishiiiiiiiiiii
Urmila—adiiiiii
Megha—nahii……
Shree—adiiiiiiiiii..
Agni—nahiii….ye nahi ho sakta…..
Chitra (rote huye)—nahii…ye main nahi hone dungi…adiiiiii
Mandir se thodi hi doori par adii khoon se lathpath haalat me jamin par pada hua tha aur jor jor se sab ko madad ke liye chillaye ja raha tha…ye dekh kar sab ki ankhe chhalak aayi dard aur chinta se..aur phir khatra ke bar bar samjhane ke baavjud bhi vo nahi ruke aur jor jor se rote chillate huye sabhi mandir se bahar nikal kar uss khoon se lathpath shakhs ki taraf bhagne lage…
Sab vaha tak pahuchte ki tabhi vaha char bhayanak shakal surat wale log achanak se prakat ho gaye aur uss jamin me pade shakhs ko ghasit kar le jane lage kahi…
Urmila (rote bhagte)—nahiii…ruk jaoooo….mere bete ko chhod do…..mat maro use…..
Sabhi unke piche piche barish me bhigte, girte phir uth kar bhagne lagte chillate huye lekin unke paas tak nahi pahuch pa rahe….dekhte hi dekhte vo sabhi uss jagah pahuch gaye jaha par jamin se khod kar nikale gaye nar kankal rakhe gaye the….vaha pahuchte hi vo charo ruk gaye aur jor jor se hansne lage…bahut bhayanak hasi…
Itni bhayanak hasi sun kar sabhi ke dil kaamp uthe…aur phir dekhte hi dekhte vaha ek ke baad ek hazaro bhoot, pret, chudail aur bhi kayi tarah ke jeev samne aane lage gusse se tilmilaye huye….aur tab unke ashcharya ki seema hi na rahi jab vo khoon se lathpath shakhs yakayak uth khada hua aur ek bhayanak shakal me badal gaya haste huye…
Rajnandini (tension)—maa ji…hamse bahut badi galti ho gayiii…..hum rishi ki kahi baat to bhool hi gaye….
Shree (ghabrate huye)—maa..ab kya kareee…..adii to yaha hai hi nahi…
Daniel (darr)—bhago…vapis mandir me….
Sab (chillate huye)—jaldiii chaloooooo...
Sab bhagne ke liye jaise hi mude to samne bhi unn sab ko khade paya....unn gusse me doobi aatmao ne unn sab ko charo taraf se gher liya tha...
Ab unke yaha se bhag kar phir se mandir me jane ka marg band ho chuka tha....vo sabhi dust aatmaye unki taraf badhne lagi...ye dekh kar sab darr aur khauf se adii...adii chillane lage.
Unko paas aate dekh juliya darr kar piche ko bhagi lekin tabhi kisi ne usko pakad kar hawa me utha liya aur apne bade bade nakhun uske komal sharir ke aar paar kar diye...vo jor se cheekhi aur phir shant ho gayi...vo nishachar uska khoon pine me lag gaya.
Ye drishya dekhte hi sab ke rongte khade ho gaye...ab vo bakio ki taraf badhne lage aur jaise hi ek ne urmila ko pakadne ke liye hath aage kiya vaise hi kisi ne usko utha kar patak diya.
Ye chitra thi jo behad gusse me aa chuki thi...usne gusse me aate huye ek ek kar ke unn sabhi nishacharo ko patak patak kar maarna shuru kar diya...khatra bhi uske sath ho liya usne bhi unki dhunayi shuru kar di...
Khatra—choti malkin....aap piche hat jao....inn sabhi ka maqsad hi tumhe qaid karna hai...tum piche hato....
Chitra (gusse me)—nahii....main aaj inn sab ko khatam kar dungiiii....
Lekin dono ye bhool gaye ki vo sankhya me bahut jyada hain aur ekta me badi taqat hoti hai...chitra aur khatra jab ladne me lag gaye to unka dhyan iss baat se hat gaya...sabne ek sath mil kar dono ko gher liya aur ekattha hamla kar diya dono par...
Idhar main uss malbe ko hata hi nahi pa raha tha kyon ki kisi taqatwar shakti ne mera suraksha kawach tod diya tha aur samay bhi bahut ho gaya tha...shaam ka andhera apna sir uthane laga tha...maine phir se apni talwar ko yaad kiya aur uske aate hi maine ab ki baar talwar ko uss malbe wali jagah par gaad diya.
Talwar ka jamin se sparsh hote hi vaha cheekh pukar mach gayi....talwar se nikalne wali tez roshni ne sabko jalana shur kar diya...vaha jitni bhi shaktiya thi sab bahar ki taraf bhagne lagi.
Maine jaldi se vaha ka malba hataya to mujhe chitra ki dead body nazar aa gayi...maine usko utha kar turant hi adrishya ho kar bahar aa gaya...lekin samne ka to nazara hi kuch aur tha...
Adii (jor se)—vahi ruk jaooo....agar kisi ne chitra ko hath bhi lagaya to theek nahi hoga....mere paas chitra ki dead body dekh kar sabhi mere upar toot pade ek sath...
Ye dekh kar rajnandini aur agni ka gussa bhadak gaya aur dono ki ankhe gusse se lal ho gayi....agni ki ankho se aag ki lapte nikalne lagi jisme sabhi jalte huye cheekhne lage...vahi rajnandini ne apne baalo me bandha juda khol diya
Juda khulte hi uske baalo ne taandav macha diya....uske khule baal hawa me lahrate huye sab ko baandhne lag gaye...maine kisi tarah se khud ko unke changul se azad kiya..lekin unki sankhya kam hi nahi ho rahi thi...
Ye dekh kar sanjay bhaiya aur daniel jaldi se unn nar kankalo ki taraf jane lage unme aag jalane ke liye magar isse pahle ki vo kuch kar paate unn kankalo ne dono ko lapet liya aur vo dono bhi unki hi biradari me shamil ho gaye.
Adii (chillate huye)—agniiii....apni shakti se unn sabhi nar kankalo ke dher me aag laga do...tabhi ye marenge aise kam nahi honge ye kabhi...
Meri baat sunte hi agni ne uss dher ki taraf apni nazar ghumayi aur agle hi pal uss dher me aag jal uthi...vaha charo taraf sirf cheekhe hi sunayi dene lagi thi....sab jalte huye idhar udhar bhagne lage.
Sab aa kar mujhse lipat gaye...mujhe apne teeno logo ko khone ka dukh bhi tha..megha bhi roye ja rahi thi..kintu ab pachtane se kya fayda hone wala tha.
Chuttad—iss dead body ka kya karna hai... ?
Adii—antim sanskar…
Chitra ki ankho me ek bar phir se anshu tapakne lage meri baat sun kar…vo aa kar mere seene se lag gayi..main sabhi ko le kar mahal aa gaya…mousam ab phir se khul chuka tha….jabki mere dost shavyatra ki taiyari karne lage main chitra ko poore samman ke sath vida karna chahta tha.
Sab chitra ko samjhane me ek bar phir lag gaye lekin vo sirf roye hi ja rahi thi…aaj mujhe bhi uske jane ka dukh mahsoos ho raha tha..aaj main bhi khud ko apahij sa mahsoos kar raha tha.
Raat gahri hote hote sab kuch shant ho gaya...iss ghatna ko ek mahatma ne apne dhyan me dekh liya aur vo apne shisyo sahit turant hi yaha ke liye rawana ho gaye...jo bhi unhe raste me milta jata vo sab batate jate.
kafi log ekatthe ho chuke the aur jaise jaise logo ko apni rajkumari chitralekha ki khabar milti ja rahi thi vaise vaise logo ki sankhya badhti ja rahi thi….vo mahatma bhi chitra ki iss antim yatra me shamil hone ke liye shisyo sahit aa chuke the…dhire dhire door door se bhi log aate ja rahe the iss chamatkar ko dekhne ke liye.
Kisi insaan ki vastavik lokpriyata ka andaza uski mout ke baad hi hota hai….zindagi me to bahut se swarth admi ko ek dusre ke darwaje par le jate hain…lekin admi marne ke baad tamam swartho aur jarurato se mukt ho jata hai… kuch bhi to nahi rah jata..na daulat rahti hai,, na kursi rahti hai aur na haisiyat rahti hai….bas mitti ka putla, jo raakh banne ko rah jata hai.. tab malum hota hai ki vah kis ke kitne kaam aaya…
Aupchariktao ke baad jab chitra ki arthi uthi tab malum hua ki chitra kya cheez thi…? Bahut se log the uski iss shavyatra me aur har ankh anshuo se bhari thi….apni zindagi me chitra ne jane kitne logo ka dard baanta hoga, kitne logo ka bojh uthaya hoga..? aaj vahi log chitra ko apne kandho par uthaye huye the..
Har kisi ki juban par aaj sirf chitra ka hi naam tha…har koi chitra ki khubiya, uski zindagi se judi ghatnaye, unsi judi yaade aur uske guno ki hi charcha kar rahe the.
Maine chitra ki dead body ko mukhagni di…aag lagte hi chitra ka maya roopi sharir kahi vileen ho gaya panch tatvo me aur vo mujhse door kahi bahut door hoti chali gayi…lekin uske antim shabd ab tak mere kano me goonj rahe the..
"Rukhsat Huye Teri Gali Se,
Hum Aaj Kuch Iss Kadar..
Sab Logo Ke Muh Par Ram Naam Tha,
Aur Mere Dil Me Bas Tera Hi Naam Hai.”
Chitra ki Poori Kahani Aur Iss Jagah Ka Jikra Chamatkar II part me ayega, Kyon Ki Abhi Yaha Se Judi Kuch Cheeze Pending Chhod Raha Hu.
