Part 2 Update 15
Main (Kirti aur Ritu se, mazak mein): Chalo, koi baat nahi. Waise, wahan kuch nahi tha kya? Ya koi ladka mil gaya jiske chakkar mein tumhe kuch aur dikha hi nahi
Kirti ne dheere se sar hila ke “nahi-nahi” karna shuru kiya, par uski aankhon mein ek sharaarat thi.
Kirti (sharma ke): Nahi, bhaiya, aisa kuch nahi!
Main (has ke): Haan, par samne toh kuch interesting log dikh rahe hain.Chalo, dekhte hain.
Maine dono ko apne saath le liya aur bheed ke bich se aage badha. Wahan, ek jagah par log ek gol ghera banaye khade the, aur bich mein ek scene chal raha tha jo mujhe turant hi alert kar gaya.
Bheed ke bich ek banda khada tha—lamba, handsome, aur uski personality mein ek ajeeb si intensity thi. Uski shakal mujhe Hollywood ke kisi hero jaisi lagi. Maine ek pal mein uska biodata dimag mein feed kar liya: Yeh toh Tom Cruise jaisa lag raha hai! Code name—Hunt... oops, Ethan Hunt!Par yeh koi film star nahi tha. Is bande ka naam tha Ethan, aur uske saath ek aur aadmi tha—Rohan Verma. Dono kisi gahri baat mein lage the, aur unki awaaz mein ek sakhti thi jo mujhe laga ki yeh koi chhota-mota kaam nahi kar rahe.
Ethan (Rohan se, sakht awaaz mein): Kahan le aaye ho yeh? Kya yahi rehta hai woh, Upar se in logon ne rasta gher rakha hai!
Rohan Verma (thodi si bechaini ke saath): Yaar, bata do, yahan koi Rajput family hai jo Delhi se aayi hai?
Madan (ek local aadmi, thodi si hichkichahat ke saath): Sahab, aise nahi batayenge hum. Pehle kaam batayein aap.
Rohan Verma (gusse se): Sab saale bekar hain yahan!
Ethan (sakhti se): Agar woh nahi mila, toh jo hum nahi karte, woh bhi karna padega!
Rohan Verma (mazak mein): Hehe, sir, commanders bula loon? Ya special forces? Hawa mein uda denge usse!
Ethan (has ke): Abe, 20-22 saal ka banda kya kar sakta hai? Zyada se zyada mere aadmi usse doodh lenge, Aaj is gaon ko nayi Diwali dikha doonga, agar usne woh map nahi diya jismein liquid cellphones ka address hai!
Rohan Verma (thodi si chinta ke saath): Isse personal na banao toh accha hai.
Ethan (sakht awaaz mein): Mere 5 agents mar gaye isme, aur tu kehta hai personal mat bana?! Ek tera agent yahan chup kar baitha hai, aur in logon ko cars ke paas se hatao!Uske baad woh dono wahan se nikal gaye, par mere dimag mein ek toofan uth raha tha.
Yeh “liquid cellphones” kya hai? Aur yeh log kisi 20-22 saal ke bande ko kyun dhoondh rahe hain? Ek-ek ghar bhi toh check kar sakte the, fir mera naam kyun le rahe the....
Maine Kirti aur Ritu ko apne sharir se ekdam chipka rakha tha, matlab itna daba rakha tha ki saans bhi mushkil se aa rahi thi unki. Kya karu, unko dekhte hi maine jhat se ek diwar ki side le li aur chup gaya tha, jaise koi chor hoon! Dil zor-zor se dhadak raha tha, aur dimag mein ek hi baat ghoom rahi thi – yeh kya scene chal raha hai, bhai..
Kirti ne ekdam se chillaya, “Bhaiya, hatao na! Dard ho raha hai, yaar!”
Maine jaldi se haath hata liya aur sorry bolte hue poocha, “Arre, chot toh nahi lagi na?”
Dhyan se dekha toh dono, Kirti aur Ritu, lambi-lambi saansein le rahi thi, jaise marathon bhaag ke aayi hon. Unki saansein itni tez thi ki mujhe laga, yeh dono toh abhi faint hi ho jayengi!
Par tabhi, mere dimag mein ek bilkul bakwaas khayal aaya – kya Ritu ke hoth chus lu? Arre, yeh kya soch raha hoon main! Jhat se dimag ko jhatka diya, jaise koi bandar mere dimaag mein disco kar raha ho.Maine idhar-udhar dekha, koi tha nahi. Phir socha, yeh kya ho gaya yaar?
Shayad Shikha ke chakkar mein zyada hyper ho gaya hoon. Maine aankhein band ki, ek lambi saans li, aur phir aankhein kholi, soch ke ki ab sab normal hi dikhega, jaise log aksar dekhte hain. Par kya dekhta hoon? Mera ghar hi gayab! Matlab, ghar toh tha hi nahi waha! Dil ekdam se dhasak gaya. Yeh kya jaadu ho gaya? Maine toh koi jaadu-voodoo kiya nahi, aur agar koi karta bhi toh pata toh chalta, na?Tabhi, achanak mere haathon mein kuch ajeeb sa ehsaas hua. Samne dekha toh ek haath Kirti ki kamar par tha aur doosra Ritu ki kamar par!
Arre, yeh kya ho raha hai? Maine jhat se haath kheenche aur poocha, “Arre, yeh kya kar rahi ho tum dono? Mera haath waha kyun rakha?
Ritu ne badi masoomiyat se kaha, “Kaisa haath? Kya hua, bhaiya? Aapko toh badi garmi lag rahi hai, chalo yaha se!”Ab mujhe laga, bas ab toh mohini aa gayi hai..
Kyuki uski aadat thi na, pehle jab mujhe nahi paa pati thi, toh kisi ke bhi sharir mein ghus ke pata nahi kya-kya karti thi. Par phir socha, nahi yaar, shayad mera hi haath galti se chala gaya hoga. Dil ko yeh samjha ke maine apne aap ko thodi shanti di.Phir hum teeno Madan ki dukaan par pahunch gaye.
Maine poocha, “Kya ho babua, abhi tak nahi bani kya?”
Madan ne badi chill vibe mein jawab diya, “Bas ho gawa, bhaiya! Kuch log toke puchat rahana, par koi kuch nahi baataylas.”
Maine thodi jaldi dikhate hue kaha, “Arre, jaldi bhejwa do, da!”Waha se nikal ke thodi door aaya toh Ritu ne mujhe rok liya.
“Bhaiya, mujhe ek acchi si dress leni hai,” usne kaha, “Sab nayi-nayi dresses le li hain, main yaha aa gayi, par sidhe se nahi le paayi. Chalo na, Magic City chalte hain!”
Kirti, excited and impatient, was like, “Haan bhaiya, chalo na!”
Maine thodi si hichkichahat ke saath kaha, “Thik hai baba, chalta hoon, par pehle koi sunsaan jagah chalte hain. Yaha koi dekh lega toh problem ho jayegi!”
Hum teeno gaon se thodi door nikal gaye, waha jaha charo taraf sannata tha, bas thodi si hawa ke sarsaraahat thi.
Maine dono ko dekha aur kaha, “Chalo ab, haath pakdo mera, yaha se chalte hain.”
Dono ne jhat se mera haath pakad liya, itna tight ki laga jaise meri haddiyan crush ho jayengi! Maine socha, ab toh gayab hone ka time hai, chalo magic dikhate hain. Par kitna bhi try kiya, kuch nahi hua! Main wahi khada tha, ekdam visible, bilkul bhi gayab nahi ho raha tha. Yeh kya bakwaas hai?
Kirti ne badi utavli si awaaz mein poocha, “Kya hua bhaiya? Gayab kyun nahi ho rahe?”
Maine sar khujate hue kaha, “Pata nahi yaar, yaha kuch hai jo mujhe rok raha hai. Koi ajeeb si energy lag rahi hai.”
Ritu ne, thodi si irritation ke saath, taunt maara, “Aap bhi na, bhaiya! Agar jana nahi hai toh bas bol do, yeh drama kyun?”
Maine usko jhat se rokte hue kaha, “Shhh! Chup kar, ekdam shhh!”Kirti, ab thodi jhalli hote hue, boli, “Oho, bhaiya, bas bhi karo na! Hum bache nahi hain, yeh kya shh-shh laga rakha hai?”
Maine gusse mein, par dheere se kaha, “Bola na, chup ekdam! Kuch samajh nahi aa raha, thodi si khamoshi rakho!”Tabhi, achanak mausam badalne laga. Hawa tez ho gayi, aur charo taraf ek ajeeb sa sannata chha gaya, jaise koi horror movie ka scene shuru hone wala ho.
Kirti ka chehra ekdam se safed pad gaya, aur usne darrte hue kaha, “Bhaiya, yeh sab kya ho raha hai? Yeh jagah toh thik nahi lag rahi!”Maine phir se usko chup karaya, “Shhh! Ekdam chup!” Par ab Kirti bhi darr ke maare thodi si chidchidi ho gayi thi.
Usne jor se kaha, “Bhaiya, yeh kya? Aap yeh mama-banana band karo, mujhe sachme darr lag raha hai!”Maine dono ko ghoorte hue kaha, “Mera haath mat chhodna, samjhi? Chahe kuch bhi ho, haath tight pakde rakhna!”
Dono ne mere haath aur bhi jor se pakad liye, jaise unki jaan meri mutthi mein ho.
Par tabhi, achanak mujhe apne gaal par kuch garm sa, chipchipa sa mehsoos hua. Maine haath lagaya, aur dekha toh... khoon! Mera gaal se khoon beh raha tha, bina kisi wajah ke!
Ritu ka chehra dekhte hi banta tha – woh toh darr ke maare kaanp rahi thi. Usne haklate hue kaha, “Bhaiya... aapke gaal... yeh khoon... yeh kya ho raha hai?!”
