Update 32
Sab ghar pahunch gaye the. Delhi ka apna ghar dekh kar Arif ke chehre pe ek alag hi khushi thi. Woh hall mein baithte hue bola, “Uff… finally ghar aa gaye! Bahar kitna bhi ghum lo, apne ghar ka sukoon hi alag hai.”
Hariye muskurate hue saman rakh raha tha. “Ji chhote malik, bilkul sahi farmaya aapne. Apne ghar aur apne log… isse badi khushi koi ho hi nahi sakti.”
Uske baad uski nazar Saba pe padi. Hariye ne dheere se ek badi si smile di, jaise kuch yaad kar raha ho. Saba ka chehra ekdum se laal ho gaya. Usne ghoor kar dekha Hariye ko. Kal raat train mein jo zor-zabardasti kiss kiya tha usne, woh yaad aate hi uska khoon khaul gaya. Par Hariye to bilkul befikar, apna kaam kar raha tha.
Sab log fresh hone ke liye apne-apne room mein chale gaye. Saba bhi apna bag utha kar apne room ki taraf ja rahi thi ki achanak Hariye ne uska haath pakad liya aur zor se kheench kar ek chhota sa guest room mein le gaya. Darwaza band karte hue bola, “Kal raat jo kiss adhoora reh gaya tha bahu-rani… aaj pura kar lete hain?”
Saba chaunk kar peeche hatne ki koshish ki. “Hariye! Haath chhodo mera! Yeh kya badtameezi hai??”
Par Hariye ne uski kamar mein haath daal kar khud se chipka liya. Uski saansein garam thi, muh se sharab aur paan ki milijuli khushboo aa rahi thi. “Bas ek baar… pura karne do na bahu-rani… dil nahi maana kal raat se.”
Saba ne dhakka marne ki bahut koshish ki, par Hariye ka buddha jism bhi kitna takatwar tha. Usne Saba ke dono haath peeche kar ke pakad liye aur apne garam kala honth uske narm gulabi honthon pe rakh diya.
Pehle do minute to Saba tadapti rahi. Uski aankhein badi-badi ho gayin, muh se nikal raha tha “Chhodo… chhodo mujhe…” par awaaz dab si gayi thi. Hariye ke honth uske honthon ko masalte ja rahe the, zubaan andar ghusa kar uski zubaan se khelne laga. Thoda sa katne laga bhi. Saba ka dimaag sunn ho gaya tha. Uske haathon ki girift dheeli padne lagi.
Teesra minute aate-aate Saba ka jism dheela pad gaya. Jaise koi gehri neend mein chali gayi ho. Hariye ne jab uski zubaan choosi, to uske muh se ek halki si siski nikli. Ab woh resist nahi kar rahi thi. Hariye ne aur gehra kiss kiya. Uski zubaan ab Saba ke muh ke andar ghum rahi thi, uske daanton se takra rahi thi, uski zubaan ko choos rahi thi. Saba ke muh mein uski laar bhar gayi. Usne anjaane mein apni zubaan aage badha di… jaise jawab de rahi ho. Ab dono ke honth ek doosre mein ghule ja rahe the. Hariye ka ek haath se uski kamar ko daboch kar rakha tha, doosre haath se uske baal pakad kar kiss ko aur wild bana raha tha. Paanch minute beet gaye… pura kiss itna lamba, itna gehra, itna ganda aur itna madhosh kar dene wala tha ki Saba khud ko bhool chuki thi.
Hariye ke honthon pe uski laal lipstick poori tarah smear ho chuki thi. Dono ke muh se laar ki lambi si leer latak rahi thi jab woh alag hue. Saba ki aankhein band thi, saansein tez, seene ki uthan tez. Uske honth sooj kar laal ho gaye the.
Tabhi darwaza khula.
Zareen andar aayi aur chaunk kar boli, “Yeh kya kar rahe ho tum dono??”
Saba ekdum se hosh mein aayi. Usne apne honthon ko haath se pochha aur jaldi se boli, “Maa… meri aankh mein kuch gir gaya tha… Hariye uncle saaf kar rahe the…”
Hariye ne muskurate hue double meaning mein bola, “Ji badi malkin… aankh to saaf kar di maine, par dil mein jo gandagi thi woh aur gehri ho gayi lagta hai…”
Saba ne turant Hariye ke pair pe zor se thokar maari. Hariye ki. Hariye “Aah!” karke chup ho gaya.
Saba bina kuch bole bhag kar apne room mein chali gayi. Darwaza band karke bed pe gir padi. Uske honth ab bhi jal rahe the. Woh apne aap ko dekhte hue rone lagi.
“Mera kya ho raha hai? Main yeh kya kar rahi hoon? Ek buddhe naukar ke saath… itna lamba kiss? Main uska jawab bhi de rahi thi? Astaghfirullah… agar ab kabhi paas aaya na isne, to sach mein maar daalungi isko!”
Par uske dil ke ek kone mein ek ajeeb si bechaini thi… jaise abhi bhi uske honthon pe Hariye ki garmahat mehsoos ho rahi ho. Woh sarak kar blanket odh kar let gayi, par neend kahan aane wali thi.
