A LOVE STORY ( PART – 14 )

” Koun ho app ?? Aur yanha karr rahe hain ?? ” , ek awaz k saath saath ek kadak haathon ki sparsh se main ek dum se chunk utha . Ek anjanee khauff se mera pura sharir sunn ho gaya tha . Ek anjaani dehsat me jab pichhe mood ke dekha to ek admi mere pichhe khada tha . Lambi hui dadhi , bikhre baal aur jo aapash me hi ullajh rahe thhe aur badan pe phatta hua dress.. Ek pal k liye main toh sunn hi ho gaya tha.. bolna v chahun to v awaz hi nahi nikal raha tha .. mujhe paata nahi aur nahi yaad hai k woh aadmi kon tha aur wanha kya karr raha tha..par uske woh kadak haath ka sparsh main kavi nahi bhul sakta . Sayad main uss waqt gallat jagah phasa hua tha..

Samne aadmi ko dekh , anjaana hi sahi thoda himmat aaya to maine bollna suru kiya k main yanha aapna dost ka ghar dhund raha tha , jise maine kal raat ko yanhi issi chaurah par drop kiya tha.. Pata nahi par woh aadmi mujhe bada ajeebo garib nazar se dekhne lagga , jese main koi bhaga hua criminal hun ya koi alien..

Execuse me sir , kya dekh rahe hain ? .. If u don’t mine kya aap Bata sakte hain k yanha Arjun ka ghar kanha hai ? ..!.

Arjun ..? ..koun Arjun.. ?? . Ye jagah sirf ek khanndhar hai . Yanha koi nahi reheta .. Aap kis Arjun ki baat karr rahe ho ..? . Mujhe lagta hai aap galat jagah pe aagaye hain . Yanha insaan to chhodo koi parinda v nahi rehta .

Are nahi nahi kal raat ko main khud yanha issi jagah pe usse drop kiya tha , aap ye kya baat karr rahe ho..main boll pada . Mujhe dekh na jane woh aadmi kyun thoda smile kiye aur bole “are sahab ..! , pichhle 10 saalo se main yanha pass me ek basti hai , wohi rehh raha hun aur iss raste se main rozz aata jaata rehta hun . Maine toh aaj tak kisiko v nahi dekha yanha rehete . Are rehene ki baat chhodiye sahab iss colony kya iss k aas pass illake me v koi nahi bhatakta ..aapko koi galat phehemi hua hai.. Mera kaha maniye , yanha se lout jaiye ..”.

Mujhe kuchh samajh nahi aaraha tha k ye mere saath kya ho raha hai . Kal hi toh main khud yanha iss jagah pe usse chhod k gaya tha aur ye colony v thik thak tha..! . Phir achanak ye khandhar kese bann gaya ..!.. Mann me uthh rahe sawalon ko darkinara karte hue maine uss admi se puchha ” kya yanha ass pass koi dusra colony hai ? ” .. Jawab milla nahi..yanha ass pass koi colony nahi . Ye railway colony tha pehele , par ab yanha se railway department 10 saal ho gaye dusri jagah shift ho gaya hai . Logo ki Manno toh ye jagah bhutiya hai sahab ..hunted hai..

Itna sunnte hi mere pairon tale zameen khisak gaya . Mann me aur v naye sawalon ki gunjj sunnaiee dene lage . Agar ye jagah 10 saal se ek khandhar hai toh kal main yanha kisse drop kiya ..?. Aur ye colony kal raat ko hara bhara tha toh aaj khandhar kese bann gaya ..?. Aur jis Arjun k saath main park me milla tha aur jiske saath purri raat maine nadi k kinare party karta raha aur uss ki unkahi kahani sunnta raha ,woh Arjun phir koun tha ..?. Na jane esi kayi sare sawal mere dilo- dimaag ko taar taar karrne lage .
