" bas himmat rakho aur ek saath raho to jald hi bahar honge... ab utho aur aage badho " Mishkat boli phir wo log aage badhne lage. ye chaaro alag alag jaga ke renne wale the, inki mulaqat ek bus me hui thi....
" kya mai haha baith sakti hu?? " Tania ne bus me chadhte hi Mishkat se pucha jo pehle se hi bus me thi. " mera naam Tania hai mai Mumbai ja rahi hu.." " hi I'm Mishkat, mai bhi wahi ja rahi hu.." Mishkat ne bataya. " kya baat hai superb, dono ki manzil ek hai isi bahane rasta to cut jayega.." Tania boli to Mishkat ne smile kiya. bus jaise hi next stop par ruki to usme Kabir Chadha. abhi bus chalna start hi hui thi k awaaz aayi " koi bus ko roko.." bus k piche bhagte hue Nadeem chilla raha tha. tabhi Kabir ne gate se hath bahar nikala aur Nadeem ki taraf badhaya phir Nadeem kuch der dodne k baad hath pakad k bus me chadh gaya.. " thank you bro, agar tum nahi hote to ye bus to gayi thi." Nadeem sans lete hue bola. "Koi baat nahi chalo ab chal k baithte hai..." kabir ne kaha phir wo log jake baith gaye. "waise tum jaa kaha rahe ho? " Kabir ne pucha . " wo Mumbai me kuch kaam tha phir uske baad thoda ghumna phirna bhi hoga bas... aur tum.? " Nadeem ne pucha. " actually mai bhi wahi ja raha hu, waha mera interview hai.." Kabir ne bataya.." waise log mujhe Nadeem kehte hai.. " Nadeem ne hath badhate hue kaha to Kabir hath milate hue bola "Kabir, Kabir naam hai mera.." . Bus apni manzil ki taraf badhi ja rahi thi k achanak Bus ek jhatke k sath ruk gayi. " bus me kuch kharabi hone ki waja se wo abhi aage nahi ja payegi, thik hone me kam se kam aadha ghanta lag sakta hai..." ye keh kar conductor niche utar gaya. " abhi to hum bus me baithe bhi nahi sahi se aur ye kharab ho gayi.." Nadeem bola to Kabir ye kehte hue niche chala gaya " is garmi me baithne se accha hai niche utar kar fresh hawa le..." phir wo dono niche utar gaye. unhe dekh saare log niche agaye.. " bus ko bhi abhi hi kharab hona tha.." Tania boli. " ab aadha ghanta kaise guzaare ..? yaha to jungle k siva kuch bhi nahi hai..." Mishkat har taraf dekhte hue boli. "dhaba to door ek choti shop bhi nahi hai yaha.. mujhe to bhook lag rahi hai.." Nadeem ne kaha. "ek kaam Karo tum ye mera tiffin kha lo." Kabir ne apna tiffin diya phir ek admi se bola . " Boss ek minute, aap bata sakte hai ye Mumbai yaha se kitna door hai..? ". " Mumbai.. wo to kaafi door hai, bus se hi aapko pura din lag jayega.. aur paidal to sochna bhi mat, par ha agar aap is jungle se jao to jaldi pohach sakte ho.." us admi ne bataya. " pr is jungle se kaunsa rasta jata hai Mumbai..? i mean kis taraf se jana hoga hume..? " Kabir ne pucha. " is ratse se chale jao pohach jao ge, magar ha galti se bhi rasta mat chodna agar tumhe bina rasta bhatke Mumbai pohachna hai to tumhe isi raste par bane rehna hoga..." wo admi bola aur jane laga to Kabir bola " thank you..". " kya hua Kabir tu ise thank you kyu bol raha tha.? " Nadeem ne aate hue pucha. " kuch nahi yar bas usse Mumbai ka Shortcut puch raha tha.." . " to kya kaha unho ne ..? kis taraf se jana hoga..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " is jungle se jana hoga..". " kya jungle se..? nahi bro mai nahi jaunga koi risk nahi lunga..." .
" nahi yar kuch nahi hoga..". " Yar itna bada jungle hai aur to hum yaha k liye naye hai.. kahi galat raste par chale gaye to saalo lag jayenge is jungle se nikalne me..". " us admi k hisab se hume is raste se jana hai, agar hum raste par bane rahe use na chode to zarur pohach jayenge.. ab chalo bhi yar." Kabir ne force kiya.. phir kya tha wo dono jungle se jane lage. kuch door gaye hi the k achanak kisi ki cheekh sunai di jise sun kar Nadeem Dar gaya..par jab unho ne piche palat kar dekha jaha se awaaz aayi thi to thoda hairan hue.. waha kuch door do Ladkiya thi. " kya hua sab thk hai na..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " han sab thk hai bas ye kanta.." Tania ne per ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha. " waise aap log kaun hai..? aur yaha kya kar rahi hai is jungle me..? " Kabir ne kanta nikaalte hue pucha. kanta nikalte hi Tania chillai.. " maine inhe bus se utarte hue dekha tha. aap dono hume follow kar rahe ho..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " wo actually humne aap logo ki baate sun li thi, hume bhi Mumbai jana hai to humne socha piche piche Mumbai nikal jate hai..." Mishkat boli. " hume laga aap hume sath allow nahi karo ge is liye humne....". "aisa kuch nahi hai agar sath hi chalna tha to bata dete hum kyu mana karte aapko.. Okay ab der mat karo chalo yaha se, agar andhera ho gaya to yahi rukna hoga.." Kabir bola phir wo log chal pade. Kuch door jane k baad Kabir ne pucha " kya kisi k pass pani hai..? " . " tha par khatam ho gaya." Tania ne bataya, phir wo log aage badhne lage. kuch door jaane par unhe ek taraf pani dikha to Kabir bola. " suniye kya mujhe aapki bottle mil sakti hai..? mai abhi waha se pani bhar laata hu." keh k wo bottle leke us taraf chala gaya, phir wo log bhi waha gaye aur fresh hone lage.. bottle bhar kar usne Tania ko di phir apni bottle se khud pani piya aur Nadeem ko diya, un dono ne bhi aisa hi kiya. Kabir ne dobara bottle bhari phir wo log aage chal pade.
chalte chalte Raat hone lagi, andhera dheere dheere badhne laga jiski waja se rasta clear nahi dikh raha tha.. " lagta hai ab hume aaj raat yahi rukna padega.. ab subha niklenge.." Nadeem ne kaha phir ek ped k niche jaake let gaye. bornfire ki waja se kuch had tak waha roshni thi.. Kabir ek taraf baitha tha use neend nahi arahi thi par wo teeno so rahe the... Achanak Kabir ki nazar ek sanp (snake) par gayi jo Mishkat ki taraf badh raha tha, abhi wo us tak pohachta k Mishkat ki ankh khul gayi aur sanp ko dekh k darne lagi. wo dar se chillati k Kabir ne use rok liye aur ishare se shant rehne kaha. phir khud ek bada patthar leke aya aur usse sanp ko mar diya aur wo wahi mar gaya. " darne ki zarurat nahi hai mai jaag raha hu aap so jao.." kabir ne kaha to wo dobara so gayi. abhi Subha hone me ek ghanta baki tha k kabir ki aankh lag gayi aur wo so gaya... ab subha k 7 baj rahe the k ek shor se Kabir ki aankh khul gayi. " ab kya hua..? " Kabir ne uthte hue pucha. " zara idhar dekho.." Nadeem ne ek taraf ishara karte hue kaha to waha dekhte hi Kabir ka muh khula k Khula reh gaya, waha do raste the.. " Hume kis ratse se jana hai..? " Mishkat ne pucha.. " lo hogayi problem." Tania ne kaha. " admi ne to kaha tha k is raste se jana par aage do raste milenge ye nahi.." Kabir bola. " yr us admi se tumne baat ki thi to tumhe acche se puchna chahiye tha na.." Nadeem bola." yr mujhe kya pata tha k aage 2 raste mil jayenge.. usne kaha tha raste par bane rehna ho sakta hai k raat andhere ki waja se humse rasta change ho gaya ho...? " Kabir ne kaha. " Oh God! " Tania boli.. " ab bas bhi karo tum dono.. baato me time waste karne se accha hai k hum ye decide kare k dono me se kis raste se jayen..? " Mishkat boli. " Mai to kehti hu k yaha se wapas laut jaate hai.." Tania tension lete hue boli.." tum pagal ho gayi ho itna door aane k baad wapas..? No ways.." Nadeem chillaya, " tumhe lagta hai wapas tum perfect waha tak pohach jao gi..? aur kya Bus tumhara wait kar rahi hogi.." Kabir bola, " ab decide karo k kis raste se chlana hai..? " Mishkat boli to Kabir bola. " wo to thik hai par agar humne galat raste ko chuna to bohat problem hogi..is liye jo bhi kadam uthana hoga soch samjh kar.." Kabir bola, " ek kaam karte hai hum apas me voting karte hai, jis raste par sabse zyada vote aye usi se jayenge.." Nadeem bola." thk hai mere 3 count karne par sab us raste ki taraf ishara karenge jisse wo jana chahate hai.." Kabir bola phir usne counting start ki. Nadeem akele ek taraf ishara kar raha tha aur wo 3no ek taraf. " thk hai is raste se chalte hai.." Nadeem ne kaha phir wo log us raste se jane lage.. kuch door wo chlate rahe par unhe rasta samjh na aya. chalte chalte sara pani bhi khatam hogaya tha, sab thakne bhi lage the.
[ iske baad phir se story k staring ka scene...]
abhi wo chal hi rahe the k achanak unhe ek halchal mehsus hui jaise kuch niche gira ho. wo log ustaraf gaye to dekha kuch door ek admi tha jo lakdiyo ka ek bada sa bundle utha kar kahi le jane ki koshish kar raha tha.. ye chaaro unhe dekh khushi khushi unke pass gaye. " kya hum aapki madad kar sakte hai..? "Kabir ne pucha. " ab mujh jaise me itni taqat kaha k itna wazan utha sake agar madad kar do to bohat accha hoga.." wo amdi bola jo dikhne me aged lag raha tha.. " waise uncle aap is jungle me kya kar rahe hai.." Tania ne pucha. "mera ghar to isi jungle me hai mai yahi rehta hu., par tum log kaun ho aur is jungle me kya kar rahe ho..? " Admi ne pucha " actually hum is jungle se Mumbai ja rahe the par shayed rasta bhatak gaye hai.." Kabir ne bataya, " kya kaha Mumbbai..? are wo to pass hi hai yaha se.." Admi ne bataya to wo log khush ho gay.. Kya aap hume waha tak pohcha sakte hai..? " Mishkat ne kaha, " tum log meri madad kar rahe ho to mai tumahri madad kyu na karu..zarur pohcha dunga " Admi ne kaha. " thik hai pehle hum ye saman aapke ghar pohcha de phir chalte hai.." Kabir bola aur wo bundle shoulder par utha kar chalne laga. Wo log us admi k ghar k liye nikal pade.. kafi door chalne k baad jab wo log pohche to Tania ne kaha " kya hume pani mil sakta hai.? " " ha Q nahi... Waise ab tumhari manzil yaha se zyada door nahi, chalo pehle thoda aram kar lo itni door chal k aaye ho to thak bhi gaye hoge.. " admi bola, phir wo log andar chale gaye ghar thoda bada tha aur kaafi ajeeb bhi.. Har chize apni jaga pe nahi thi, us admi ne unhe pani pilaya ,khana khilaya, phir unlogo ko rest k liye ek room me chod diya. wo log jab us room me pohche to waha ka mahaul (situation) dekh shocked ho gaye.. 'coz. Waha pehle se hi kai log the, may be 4 or 5.. unki halat kafi kharab thi. jaise bimar ho.. " accha hua aap log yaha agaye. ab hum azaad ho jayenge..." ek ladke ne kaha. " kya matlab tumhara.? " Tania ne pucha. " matlab ye k yaha ka rule hai k jab naye (new) log aate hai to purane azaad kar diye jaate hai. " dusre ladke ne bataya. " naye log, purane log, azaadi..? Aakhir ye sab hai kya..? kuch samjh nahi araha." Nadeem ne pucha. " jis admi ne aap logo ko yaha laya hai wo logo ko isi trha apni baato me phasa kar le aata hai aur Qaid(bandi) kar leta hai, hum bhi yaha galti se agaye the aur 2 saal se band hai yaha aur kaam kar rahe the jo wo bolta tha... ab hum azaad ho jayenge.." ek ladki ne kaha. " magar unho ne to wada kiya tha k hume hamari manzil tak pohcha denge.. wo bhala aisa Q karenge..? " Kabir bola " Aakhir wo aisa karte Q hai..? " Mishkat ne pucha. " wo to hum nahi jante " ladke ne kaha. " maine Kaha tha na k is jungle se laut chalo par tum logo ne meri baat nahi mani ab dekho kya kya hota hai hamare sath.. " Tania darte hue boli, tabhi wo admi andar aya un logo se bola jo waha pehle se the " tumhare jaane ka waqt agaya hai, ummid hai k yaha ki har baate nahi bhoolo ge..chalo ab jao yaha se." " aapne hamari itni khatir ki uske liye shukriya par ab hum jana chahte hai.." Tania boli. " tum log jana chahte ho..? Hahahha " wo admi zor se hanste hue bola " ha hum jana chahte hai." Nadeem ne kaha " to thk hai chale jao " wo admi bola wo 4ro khushi se aage badhne lage.. jaise hi kuch qadam aage badhaya upar se ek jaal aake un par gira aur wo usme phas gaye. " aap hamare sath aisa nahi kar sakte.." Mishkat chillayi. "Ye mera ghar hai aur yaha mai jo chahu kar sakta hu.. hahahaha, aaj se tum log mere kabze me ho ghulam ho mere.. Mai jo kahunga tumhe wo karna hoga.. rahi baat yaha se jaane ki to wo ye log bata denge k kaise bahar jaoge.." " aapne to wada kiya tha k hamari help karenge is jungle se nikalne me .. Phir aap aisa kyu kar rahe hai..? " Mishkat boli. " Sattar kisi se kabhi wada nahi karta.." keh k wo chala gaya.. " tum log kaha ja rahe ho hume chod kar..? " Nadeem ne unlogo se kaha. " hum ab azaad hai aur wapas ja rahe hai.." ladki boli. phir wo log jane lage. " tum hume is trha chod k nahi ja sakte. Hamari madad karo..." Mishkat boli to ek ladka ruka aur bola " jab hum yaha aaye the to yaha kai log the jinhe hamare aane par azaad kar diya gaya tha.. aapki tarha hum bhi unse help mangte rahe par wo chale gaye ..jab hume help nahi mili to hum Q aapki help kare? Chalo yaha se. " " ruko.. ruk jao... please... wo log bhi chale gaye ab hum kya karenge.?? " Nadeem bola " ab srf ek hi rasta hai yaha se nikalne ka ". " wo kaunsa rasta hai..? " Tania ne Mishkat ki baat sunte hue pucha. " yahi k hume Sattar ki ghulami me aana hoga. " " tum pagal ho gayi ho..? " Nadeem jaldi se bola. " Nadeem thk keh raha hai aakhir hum aisa kyu kare..? " Tania boli. " filhal to Mishkat thk keh rahi hai. " Kabir bola " to tumhe lagta hai hamare pass iske alawa aur koi rasta hai.?? " Mishkat ne pucha. " hum iske siva aur kuch kar bhi nahi sakte.. Waise mere pass yaha se nikalne ka ek plan hai. suno hum uski ghulami k bahane yaha se bhag niklenge.. " Kabir bola. " ha ye thk rahe ga.. " Nadeem bola. phir wo log Sattar ko awaaze lagane lage aur uske intezaar me phase rahe... kuch der baad wo aya aur bola " to kya tum log yaha rehne k liye tayyar ho.?? " " G hum bilkul tayyar hai, aap jaisa bolo ge hum waisa hi karenge. " Kabir bola. " mai ye janta tha. Chalo ab kaam pe lag jao " Sattar ne wo jaal kat te hue kaha to wo log usse bahar nikalne lage. " sabse pehle is ghar ki acche se safai karo.. " Sattar ne jaate hue kaha. phir kya tha wo log safai me lag gaye..
Ghar bhi aisa tha k saaf hone ka naam nahi le raha tha. aisa lagta tha jaise kai hafto se yaha safai nahi hui thi.. kaafi mehnat k baad unho ne use kuch had tak ghar jaisa bana diya, phir apni kamar leke baith gaye. " itna kaam to maine aaj tak apni life me nahi kiya.." Tania boli " Sattar yaha karta kya hai jo itni gandgi rehti hai..?" Nadeem badbadaya, " hume bas yaha se nikalne k baare me sochna chahiye.." Kabir bola tabhi Sattar waha aya aur bola " tumhari safai dekh k Dil karta hai tumhe yahi rakh lu kabhi na jane du... mujhe bohat bhuk lagi hai to tum dono jao aur mere liye kuch accha sa khana bana lao.. accha sa, kitchen us taraf hai, jaldi karo mujhe intezar bilkul pasand nahi..." keh k wo upar apne room me chala gaya. phir kya tha Mishkat aur Tania khana banane chale gaye. bhuk unhe bhi lag rahi thi is liye unho ne bina kuch kahe khana banana shuru kar diya, kuch ghanto baad unho ne khana bana liya. Tania ko to na k barabar aata tha par Mishkat khana banana janti thi. jab wo dono khana leke Sattar k pass pohche to wo khana dekh k bola" maine kaha tha k mujhe intezar karna pasand nahi phir bhi tum dono ne mujhe intezar karne par najboor kiya iski saza ye hai k aaj ka khana tum logo me se koi nahi khayega.. " " par hume bhi bhuk lagi hai.. bina khane k hum nahi reh sakte.." Tania boli. " mujhe jo kehna tha wo mai keh chuka hu.." ye keh kar Sattar utha aur kitchen me jaake sara khana phek diya aur khud aakr khane laga. "Sara khana phek diya, Aakhir wo apne aapko samjhta kya hai.." Nadeem ne gusse se kaha " hume bhooka hi sona padega.. " Mishkat ne kaha. " kisne keh diya hume bhooka sona hoga. ?? " Kabir ne kaha aur kitchen me chala gaya aur jab wapas aya to uske hath me ek plate thi jisme khana tha. " ye raha khana.. janta hu ye kam hai par hume ispar guzara karna hoga.." " ye tumhare pass khana kaha se aya..?? " Tania ne pucha. " kahi tumne ise niche se to nahi utha liya jise Sattar ne pheka tha..? " Nadeem bola. "Nadeem had hai yr.. Batata hu, jab tum dono khana leke Sattar k pass gayi thi mai bhi bahar hi khada tha maine jab suna k wo khana phekne ki baat kar raha hai to mai usi waqt Kitchen me gaya aur itna khana nikal k alag rakh diya.. bas phir kya tha ye raha samne.." Kabir ne bataya. " thanx yarr agar tumne ye na kiya hota to aaj hume bhooka hi sona padta.. " Nadeem ne kaha. " isme thanx kaisa meri jaga hum me se koi bhi hota to yahi karta.." . " han jab tak hum 4ro sath hai ek dusre ka sath nahi chodenge.." Mishkat boli. to Tania jaldi se boli " ab baate hi karte raho ge ya khana bhi khaoge..? " phir sab khana kha k so gaye. Abhi subha k 5 baje the k sab par pani ki barsat hui. kisi ne un par pani pheka tha jiski waja se wo hadbada k uth gaye samne dekha to Sattar khada tha. " chalo uth jao sab bohat so chuke .ab thoda kaam ho jaye " " magar hum to 12 baje hi soye the..itne jaldi..? " Nadeem bola. " mai ek baat bata du k is ghar me wahi hota hai jo mai chahta hu. yaha 5 baje se zyada sona mana hai, meri baat na manne wale ko saza bhi hogi, har kaam apne time par hona chahiye jo mai du. aur ha agar galti se bhi kisi ne mera kaha na mana ya koi bhi awaz nikali mere khilaf to accha nahi hoga." Sattar ne bataya. " mujhe abhi kaam nahi karna hai." Tania ne kaha " ye baat maine aap logo k liye hi kahi thi.ab bakwas band karo aur shuru ho jao.. " " mujhe bohat neend arahi hai aur mujhe kaam nahi karna sona hai.." Tania ki ye baat sun k Sattar ne gusse se uska hath pakda aur ye kehte hue " maine pehle hi warn kiya tha k mere khilaf jane par saza bhi milegi.. ab bhugto. " ek room ki taraf le jane laga. " use maaf kar diye wo aaj k baad aisa bilkul nahi karegi.." Mishkat ne kaha to Sattar bola " ha jab akele room me band rahegi pura din bina kuch khaye piye to zarur aisa nahi karegi.. aur naa hi tum log.." " bas ek last time chod diye please.." Kabir request karte hue bola. " agar apni khair chahte ho to chup chap yaha se chale jao, warna meri baat na manne k liye mai tumhe bhi andar band kar dunga.." Sattar gusse se bola tabhi Mishkat ne uska hath pakad k use rok liya " Kabir koi faida nahi bol k, wo nahi manenge. "
" to kya hum Tania ko poora din room me band rehne de..?? " Nadeem bola " iske alawa hum aur kuch kar bhi nahi sakte.. agar humne kuch bhi kiya to wo hume bhi Tania k sath lock kar denge. aur hum aisa nahi chahte " Mishkat samjhate hue boli. " listen abhi jo ho raha hai use hone do, rahi baat Tania ki to hum use akela nahi chodenge. kisi na kisi tarha uski help karte rahenge phir chahe khana ho pani..." Kabir bola inki baate hi chal rahi thi udhar Sattar ne ye kehte hue " bohat neend arahi thi na tumhe ab jao aur jitna sona hai so lo. pura din hai tumhare pass " band kar diya. " mujhe maaf kardo please. mai promise karti hu ab aisa nahi karungi.. mujhe bahar aane do..." Tania chilla rahi thi. " agar tumne pehle hi meri baat man li hoti to shayed ye sab na hota. " keh k wo waha se jane laga to wo 3no us room ki taraf bhage to Sattar unhe rokte hue bola " meri ijazat k bina waha koi nahi jayega aur agar gaya to wo anjam janta hai.." ye sunte hi wo log piche ho gaye aur waha se jane lage " tum log kaha ja rahe ho mujhe chod k ... yaha bohat andhera hai, mujhe dar lag raha hai.. please ruk jao, mat jao...." Tania window se chilla rahi thi, wo 3no use waha akele chod k jane k siva kuch kar bhi nahi sakte the. hall me pohach kar, " tum log pehle jakar kitchen me gira khana bahar phek aao " Sattar bola aur chala gaya. " mujhe to bohat neend arahi hai yrr.." " Itna sab kuch ho jane k baad bhi tumhe neend sujh rahi hai..? " Kabir ne Nadeem ki baat sunte hi gusse se kaha. " sry, bhool gaya tha k mai apne ghar par nahi hu.." Nadeem bola phir wo log kitchen me chale gaye.
" ab shuru ho jao.." Kabir ne zameen par pade khane ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha to Nadeem muh banate hue bola " ye to sad chuka hai ... kitni gandi smell hai.." " isse pehle k iski smell aur badh jaye ise phek aao. " Mishkat boli. phir unho ne pura khana ek jhole(Garbage bag) me dala aur use phekne Kabir aur Nadeem bahar chale gaye. " yaha to koi nahi hai hum bhag sakte hai." Nadeem ne yaha waha dekhte hue khushi se kaha. " ruko age mat badho, tumhe kya lagta hai sattar itni asani se hume jane dega..? ho sakta hai usne yaha Laser lagaya ho jisse bahar jane par Alarm bajne lage..?? aur hum pakde jaye." Kabir ne kaha. " Shayed tum sahi keh rahe ho, tabhi usne hume akele bahar jane diya. Aakhir hum kab is musibat se azaad honge..? " Nadeem khud se bola. " Sattar ki nazar me hum tabhi azaad ho sakte hai jab koi naya bakra, i mean naye log uske hath lage. tab tak hume yahi rehna hoga.." Kabir bola. " Aakhir naye log Sattar ko milenge kab..? " Tania window se bahar dekhte hue Mishkat se boli. " agar mil bhi gaye to hum unhe yaha rehne nahi denge. hum unhe bhi sath le jayenge.. " Mishkat boli
" kaisi pagalo jaisi baat kar rahi ho. Sattar aisa kabhi nahi hone dega.. " Tania boli " janta hu par hame kuch to karna hi hoga na.." Kabir ne aate hue kaha.
" par aisa hoga tab na, mujhe to aise asaar bhi nazar nahi arahe..." Nadeem bola to Mishkat ne pucha " kya matlab tumhara..? ". " matlab ye k Sattar to is ghar se bahar jata hi nahi, ab ghar baithe baithe to use koi milne se raha."
" hume kisi bhi tarha use bahar bhejna hi hoga.." Kabir bola. " magar kaise .?? jaise hum jake bolenge aap bahar chale jaiye kya pata aapko koi naye log mil jaye aur hum azaad ho jaye.. aur wo okay bol k chale jayenge.. wo bhala hamari baate Q manenge..?? " Tania boli. " wo sab tum mujh par chod do.. " Mishkat boli aur Sattar k room ki taraf badhne lagi.
Jaise hi Mishkat, Sattar k kamre k pass pohchi use wo bahar hi mil gaya. " tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..?? " " wo mai yaha ye kehne aayi thi k lakdiya khatam ho gayi hai aap jaake jungle se new le aaye." Mishkat darte darte boli. " kisne kaha lakdiya khatam ho gayi.. chalo aao mere sath." Sattar ne kaha aur ek room ki taraf badhne laga, Mishkat bhi uske piche darte darte chal rahi thi. tabhi Sattar ruka aur ek room ka darwaza khol k bola " jitni lakdiya chaho le lo.." aur chala gaya.jaise hi Mishkat ne darwaze se andar jhanka to dekha pura room lakdiyo se bhara pada tha. wo hairan thi.. phir kuch ladkiya utha kar le aayi. Mishkat ko aata dekh 2no bhagte hue uske pass aaye aur bole " kya hua ..? " . " kuch nahi , wo Sattar to bada chalak nikla. " Mishkat ne muh latkate hue kaha. " tumhara matlab kya hai.. ?? " Nadeem ne pucha,
" mai uske pass gayi thi ye soch kar k use lakdiya lene Jungle bhej dungi, magar usne to pehle se hi lakdiya jama kar k rakhi hai.. wo bhi poora room bhar kar. " Mishkat ne lakdiya niche rakhte hue Kaha. " ab hume jo bhi kadam uthana hoga wo bohat hi soch samjh kar uthana hoga.. " Kabir bola. " Aakhir hum use jungle kaise bheje..?? " Nadeem bola " iske baareme hum baad me sochenge abhi kaam pe lagna hoga.. " Kabir bola phir sab apne apne kaam me lag agye. nashta bhi ho chuka tha.
" tumhe kya lagta hai wo Sattar, Tania ko raat hone se pehle chodega..? " Nadeem ne pucha, " agar hum shant rahe aur apne kaamo me lage rahe to may be possible k wo use pehle hi chod de.." Kabir bola. " magar hume uske liye kuch to karna hi hoga na.? wo waha andhere me Akele hai, kahi dar aur akele pan ki waja se use kuch hogaya to..?? " Mishkat ne fikr karte hue kaha. " tum aisa kaise soch sakti ho..? maine ye to nahi kaha k hum bich bich me jaake usse milenge nahi.. jab bhi mauqa milega 3no me se koi na koi jaake usse milta rahe ga ." Kabir bola to Nadeem foran bola " han aisa karne se uska akela pan bhi door hota rahe ga.". " han bilkul , par sabse pehle ye kaam karo is Pani ki bottle (water bottle) ko us tak pohcha do kaise bhi." Mishkat ne bottle badhate hue kaha " mai ye use deke aata hu.. " kabir ne kaha to Nadeem ne bottle hath se lete hue kaha " nahi tum yaha raho mai jata hu. kahi wo Rakhshas agaya to tum use sambhal sakte ho aur ha meri fikr karne ki zarurat nahi, mai yu gaya aur yu aya.. " keh k wo idhar-udhar dekh waha se chala gaya. " kahi Sattar ne Nadeem ko dekh liya to .?? " Mishkat ne pareshani se kaha " tum uski fikr mat karo uska Ilaj hai mere pass.." Kabir bola. " kya karoge tum..? " . " mai jaake us Sattar ko apni baato me lagata hu jab tak mujhe aisa na lage k Nadeem wapas agaya hoga. " keh k wo Sattar k room ki taraf badha.
To be continued....
" bas bohat hua mai ab aur nahi chalne wala , mujhe pays lag rahi hai." Nadeem chalte hue bola. " pyas hume bhi lag rahi hai thoda aur chalo shayed aage pani mil jaye. " Tania boli. " hum kal se is jungle me phase hai aakhir kab bahar niklenge is jungle se..?? " Kabir ne chalte hue kaha. " bas himmat rakho aur ek saath raho to jald hi bahar honge... ab utho aur aage badho " Mishkat boli phir wo log aage badhne lage. ye chaaro alag alag jaga ke renne wale the, inki mulaqat ek bus me hui thi....
" kya mai haha baith sakti hu?? " Tania ne bus me chadhte hi Mishkat se pucha jo pehle se hi bus me thi. " mera naam Tania hai mai Mumbai ja rahi hu.." " hi I'm Mishkat, mai bhi wahi ja rahi hu.." Mishkat ne bataya. " kya baat hai superb, dono ki manzil ek hai isi bahane rasta to cut jayega.." Tania boli to Mishkat ne smile kiya. bus jaise hi next stop par ruki to usme Kabir Chadha. abhi bus chalna start hi hui thi k awaaz aayi " koi bus ko roko.." bus k piche bhagte hue Nadeem chilla raha tha. tabhi Kabir ne gate se hath bahar nikala aur Nadeem ki taraf badhaya phir Nadeem kuch der dodne k baad hath pakad k bus me chadh gaya.. " thank you bro, agar tum nahi hote to ye bus to gayi thi." Nadeem sans lete hue bola. "Koi baat nahi chalo ab chal k baithte hai..." kabir ne kaha phir wo log jake baith gaye. "waise tum jaa kaha rahe ho? " Kabir ne pucha . " wo Mumbai me kuch kaam tha phir uske baad thoda ghumna phirna bhi hoga bas... aur tum.? " Nadeem ne pucha. " actually mai bhi wahi ja raha hu, waha mera interview hai.." Kabir ne bataya.." waise log mujhe Nadeem kehte hai.. " Nadeem ne hath badhate hue kaha to Kabir hath milate hue bola "Kabir, Kabir naam hai mera.." . Bus apni manzil ki taraf badhi ja rahi thi k achanak Bus ek jhatke k sath ruk gayi. " bus me kuch kharabi hone ki waja se wo abhi aage nahi ja payegi, thik hone me kam se kam aadha ghanta lag sakta hai..." ye keh kar conductor niche utar gaya. " abhi to hum bus me baithe bhi nahi sahi se aur ye kharab ho gayi.." Nadeem bola to Kabir ye kehte hue niche chala gaya " is garmi me baithne se accha hai niche utar kar fresh hawa le..." phir wo dono niche utar gaye. unhe dekh saare log niche agaye.. " bus ko bhi abhi hi kharab hona tha.." Tania boli. " ab aadha ghanta kaise guzaare ..? yaha to jungle k siva kuch bhi nahi hai..." Mishkat har taraf dekhte hue boli. "dhaba to door ek choti shop bhi nahi hai yaha.. mujhe to bhook lag rahi hai.." Nadeem ne kaha. "ek kaam Karo tum ye mera tiffin kha lo." Kabir ne apna tiffin diya phir ek admi se bola . " Boss ek minute, aap bata sakte hai ye Mumbai yaha se kitna door hai..? ". " Mumbai.. wo to kaafi door hai, bus se hi aapko pura din lag jayega.. aur paidal to sochna bhi mat, par ha agar aap is jungle se jao to jaldi pohach sakte ho.." us admi ne bataya. " pr is jungle se kaunsa rasta jata hai Mumbai..? i mean kis taraf se jana hoga hume..? " Kabir ne pucha. " is ratse se chale jao pohach jao ge, magar ha galti se bhi rasta mat chodna agar tumhe bina rasta bhatke Mumbai pohachna hai to tumhe isi raste par bane rehna hoga..." wo admi bola aur jane laga to Kabir bola " thank you..". " kya hua Kabir tu ise thank you kyu bol raha tha.? " Nadeem ne aate hue pucha. " kuch nahi yar bas usse Mumbai ka Shortcut puch raha tha.." . " to kya kaha unho ne ..? kis taraf se jana hoga..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " is jungle se jana hoga..". " kya jungle se..? nahi bro mai nahi jaunga koi risk nahi lunga..." .
" nahi yar kuch nahi hoga..". " Yar itna bada jungle hai aur to hum yaha k liye naye hai.. kahi galat raste par chale gaye to saalo lag jayenge is jungle se nikalne me..". " us admi k hisab se hume is raste se jana hai, agar hum raste par bane rahe use na chode to zarur pohach jayenge.. ab chalo bhi yar." Kabir ne force kiya.. phir kya tha wo dono jungle se jane lage. kuch door gaye hi the k achanak kisi ki cheekh sunai di jise sun kar Nadeem Dar gaya..par jab unho ne piche palat kar dekha jaha se awaaz aayi thi to thoda hairan hue.. waha kuch door do Ladkiya thi. " kya hua sab thk hai na..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " han sab thk hai bas ye kanta.." Tania ne per ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha. " waise aap log kaun hai..? aur yaha kya kar rahi hai is jungle me..? " Kabir ne kanta nikaalte hue pucha. kanta nikalte hi Tania chillai.. " maine inhe bus se utarte hue dekha tha. aap dono hume follow kar rahe ho..? " Nadeem ne pucha. " wo actually humne aap logo ki baate sun li thi, hume bhi Mumbai jana hai to humne socha piche piche Mumbai nikal jate hai..." Mishkat boli. " hume laga aap hume sath allow nahi karo ge is liye humne....". "aisa kuch nahi hai agar sath hi chalna tha to bata dete hum kyu mana karte aapko.. Okay ab der mat karo chalo yaha se, agar andhera ho gaya to yahi rukna hoga.." Kabir bola phir wo log chal pade. Kuch door jane k baad Kabir ne pucha " kya kisi k pass pani hai..? " . " tha par khatam ho gaya." Tania ne bataya, phir wo log aage badhne lage. kuch door jaane par unhe ek taraf pani dikha to Kabir bola. " suniye kya mujhe aapki bottle mil sakti hai..? mai abhi waha se pani bhar laata hu." keh k wo bottle leke us taraf chala gaya, phir wo log bhi waha gaye aur fresh hone lage.. bottle bhar kar usne Tania ko di phir apni bottle se khud pani piya aur Nadeem ko diya, un dono ne bhi aisa hi kiya. Kabir ne dobara bottle bhari phir wo log aage chal pade.
chalte chalte Raat hone lagi, andhera dheere dheere badhne laga jiski waja se rasta clear nahi dikh raha tha.. " lagta hai ab hume aaj raat yahi rukna padega.. ab subha niklenge.." Nadeem ne kaha phir ek ped k niche jaake let gaye. bornfire ki waja se kuch had tak waha roshni thi.. Kabir ek taraf baitha tha use neend nahi arahi thi par wo teeno so rahe the... Achanak Kabir ki nazar ek sanp (snake) par gayi jo Mishkat ki taraf badh raha tha, abhi wo us tak pohachta k Mishkat ki ankh khul gayi aur sanp ko dekh k darne lagi. wo dar se chillati k Kabir ne use rok liye aur ishare se shant rehne kaha. phir khud ek bada patthar leke aya aur usse sanp ko mar diya aur wo wahi mar gaya. " darne ki zarurat nahi hai mai jaag raha hu aap so jao.." kabir ne kaha to wo dobara so gayi. abhi Subha hone me ek ghanta baki tha k kabir ki aankh lag gayi aur wo so gaya... ab subha k 7 baj rahe the k ek shor se Kabir ki aankh khul gayi. " ab kya hua..? " Kabir ne uthte hue pucha. " zara idhar dekho.." Nadeem ne ek taraf ishara karte hue kaha to waha dekhte hi Kabir ka muh khula k Khula reh gaya, waha do raste the.. " Hume kis ratse se jana hai..? " Mishkat ne pucha.. " lo hogayi problem." Tania ne kaha. " admi ne to kaha tha k is raste se jana par aage do raste milenge ye nahi.." Kabir bola. " yr us admi se tumne baat ki thi to tumhe acche se puchna chahiye tha na.." Nadeem bola." yr mujhe kya pata tha k aage 2 raste mil jayenge.. usne kaha tha raste par bane rehna ho sakta hai k raat andhere ki waja se humse rasta change ho gaya ho...? " Kabir ne kaha. " Oh God! " Tania boli.. " ab bas bhi karo tum dono.. baato me time waste karne se accha hai k hum ye decide kare k dono me se kis raste se jayen..? " Mishkat boli. " Mai to kehti hu k yaha se wapas laut jaate hai.." Tania tension lete hue boli.." tum pagal ho gayi ho itna door aane k baad wapas..? No ways.." Nadeem chillaya, " tumhe lagta hai wapas tum perfect waha tak pohach jao gi..? aur kya Bus tumhara wait kar rahi hogi.." Kabir bola, " ab decide karo k kis raste se chlana hai..? " Mishkat boli to Kabir bola. " wo to thik hai par agar humne galat raste ko chuna to bohat problem hogi..is liye jo bhi kadam uthana hoga soch samjh kar.." Kabir bola, " ek kaam karte hai hum apas me voting karte hai, jis raste par sabse zyada vote aye usi se jayenge.." Nadeem bola." thk hai mere 3 count karne par sab us raste ki taraf ishara karenge jisse wo jana chahate hai.." Kabir bola phir usne counting start ki. Nadeem akele ek taraf ishara kar raha tha aur wo 3no ek taraf. " thk hai is raste se chalte hai.." Nadeem ne kaha phir wo log us raste se jane lage.. kuch door wo chlate rahe par unhe rasta samjh na aya. chalte chalte sara pani bhi khatam hogaya tha, sab thakne bhi lage the.
[ iske baad phir se story k staring ka scene...]
abhi wo chal hi rahe the k achanak unhe ek halchal mehsus hui jaise kuch niche gira ho. wo log ustaraf gaye to dekha kuch door ek admi tha jo lakdiyo ka ek bada sa bundle utha kar kahi le jane ki koshish kar raha tha.. ye chaaro unhe dekh khushi khushi unke pass gaye. " kya hum aapki madad kar sakte hai..? "Kabir ne pucha. " ab mujh jaise me itni taqat kaha k itna wazan utha sake agar madad kar do to bohat accha hoga.." wo amdi bola jo dikhne me aged lag raha tha.. " waise uncle aap is jungle me kya kar rahe hai.." Tania ne pucha. "mera ghar to isi jungle me hai mai yahi rehta hu., par tum log kaun ho aur is jungle me kya kar rahe ho..? " Admi ne pucha " actually hum is jungle se Mumbai ja rahe the par shayed rasta bhatak gaye hai.." Kabir ne bataya, " kya kaha Mumbbai..? are wo to pass hi hai yaha se.." Admi ne bataya to wo log khush ho gay.. Kya aap hume waha tak pohcha sakte hai..? " Mishkat ne kaha, " tum log meri madad kar rahe ho to mai tumahri madad kyu na karu..zarur pohcha dunga " Admi ne kaha. " thik hai pehle hum ye saman aapke ghar pohcha de phir chalte hai.." Kabir bola aur wo bundle shoulder par utha kar chalne laga. Wo log us admi k ghar k liye nikal pade.. kafi door chalne k baad jab wo log pohche to Tania ne kaha " kya hume pani mil sakta hai.? " " ha Q nahi... Waise ab tumhari manzil yaha se zyada door nahi, chalo pehle thoda aram kar lo itni door chal k aaye ho to thak bhi gaye hoge.. " admi bola, phir wo log andar chale gaye ghar thoda bada tha aur kaafi ajeeb bhi.. Har chize apni jaga pe nahi thi, us admi ne unhe pani pilaya ,khana khilaya, phir unlogo ko rest k liye ek room me chod diya. wo log jab us room me pohche to waha ka mahaul (situation) dekh shocked ho gaye.. 'coz. Waha pehle se hi kai log the, may be 4 or 5.. unki halat kafi kharab thi. jaise bimar ho.. " accha hua aap log yaha agaye. ab hum azaad ho jayenge..." ek ladke ne kaha. " kya matlab tumhara.? " Tania ne pucha. " matlab ye k yaha ka rule hai k jab naye (new) log aate hai to purane azaad kar diye jaate hai. " dusre ladke ne bataya. " naye log, purane log, azaadi..? Aakhir ye sab hai kya..? kuch samjh nahi araha." Nadeem ne pucha. " jis admi ne aap logo ko yaha laya hai wo logo ko isi trha apni baato me phasa kar le aata hai aur Qaid(bandi) kar leta hai, hum bhi yaha galti se agaye the aur 2 saal se band hai yaha aur kaam kar rahe the jo wo bolta tha... ab hum azaad ho jayenge.." ek ladki ne kaha. " magar unho ne to wada kiya tha k hume hamari manzil tak pohcha denge.. wo bhala aisa Q karenge..? " Kabir bola " Aakhir wo aisa karte Q hai..? " Mishkat ne pucha. " wo to hum nahi jante " ladke ne kaha. " maine Kaha tha na k is jungle se laut chalo par tum logo ne meri baat nahi mani ab dekho kya kya hota hai hamare sath.. " Tania darte hue boli, tabhi wo admi andar aya un logo se bola jo waha pehle se the " tumhare jaane ka waqt agaya hai, ummid hai k yaha ki har baate nahi bhoolo ge..chalo ab jao yaha se." " aapne hamari itni khatir ki uske liye shukriya par ab hum jana chahte hai.." Tania boli. " tum log jana chahte ho..? Hahahha " wo admi zor se hanste hue bola " ha hum jana chahte hai." Nadeem ne kaha " to thk hai chale jao " wo admi bola wo 4ro khushi se aage badhne lage.. jaise hi kuch qadam aage badhaya upar se ek jaal aake un par gira aur wo usme phas gaye. " aap hamare sath aisa nahi kar sakte.." Mishkat chillayi. "Ye mera ghar hai aur yaha mai jo chahu kar sakta hu.. hahahaha, aaj se tum log mere kabze me ho ghulam ho mere.. Mai jo kahunga tumhe wo karna hoga.. rahi baat yaha se jaane ki to wo ye log bata denge k kaise bahar jaoge.." " aapne to wada kiya tha k hamari help karenge is jungle se nikalne me .. Phir aap aisa kyu kar rahe hai..? " Mishkat boli. " Sattar kisi se kabhi wada nahi karta.." keh k wo chala gaya.. " tum log kaha ja rahe ho hume chod kar..? " Nadeem ne unlogo se kaha. " hum ab azaad hai aur wapas ja rahe hai.." ladki boli. phir wo log jane lage. " tum hume is trha chod k nahi ja sakte. Hamari madad karo..." Mishkat boli to ek ladka ruka aur bola " jab hum yaha aaye the to yaha kai log the jinhe hamare aane par azaad kar diya gaya tha.. aapki tarha hum bhi unse help mangte rahe par wo chale gaye ..jab hume help nahi mili to hum Q aapki help kare? Chalo yaha se. " " ruko.. ruk jao... please... wo log bhi chale gaye ab hum kya karenge.?? " Nadeem bola " ab srf ek hi rasta hai yaha se nikalne ka ". " wo kaunsa rasta hai..? " Tania ne Mishkat ki baat sunte hue pucha. " yahi k hume Sattar ki ghulami me aana hoga. " " tum pagal ho gayi ho..? " Nadeem jaldi se bola. " Nadeem thk keh raha hai aakhir hum aisa kyu kare..? " Tania boli. " filhal to Mishkat thk keh rahi hai. " Kabir bola " to tumhe lagta hai hamare pass iske alawa aur koi rasta hai.?? " Mishkat ne pucha. " hum iske siva aur kuch kar bhi nahi sakte.. Waise mere pass yaha se nikalne ka ek plan hai. suno hum uski ghulami k bahane yaha se bhag niklenge.. " Kabir bola. " ha ye thk rahe ga.. " Nadeem bola. phir wo log Sattar ko awaaze lagane lage aur uske intezaar me phase rahe... kuch der baad wo aya aur bola " to kya tum log yaha rehne k liye tayyar ho.?? " " G hum bilkul tayyar hai, aap jaisa bolo ge hum waisa hi karenge. " Kabir bola. " mai ye janta tha. Chalo ab kaam pe lag jao " Sattar ne wo jaal kat te hue kaha to wo log usse bahar nikalne lage. " sabse pehle is ghar ki acche se safai karo.. " Sattar ne jaate hue kaha. phir kya tha wo log safai me lag gaye..
Ghar bhi aisa tha k saaf hone ka naam nahi le raha tha. aisa lagta tha jaise kai hafto se yaha safai nahi hui thi.. kaafi mehnat k baad unho ne use kuch had tak ghar jaisa bana diya, phir apni kamar leke baith gaye. " itna kaam to maine aaj tak apni life me nahi kiya.." Tania boli " Sattar yaha karta kya hai jo itni gandgi rehti hai..?" Nadeem badbadaya, " hume bas yaha se nikalne k baare me sochna chahiye.." Kabir bola tabhi Sattar waha aya aur bola " tumhari safai dekh k Dil karta hai tumhe yahi rakh lu kabhi na jane du... mujhe bohat bhuk lagi hai to tum dono jao aur mere liye kuch accha sa khana bana lao.. accha sa, kitchen us taraf hai, jaldi karo mujhe intezar bilkul pasand nahi..." keh k wo upar apne room me chala gaya. phir kya tha Mishkat aur Tania khana banane chale gaye. bhuk unhe bhi lag rahi thi is liye unho ne bina kuch kahe khana banana shuru kar diya, kuch ghanto baad unho ne khana bana liya. Tania ko to na k barabar aata tha par Mishkat khana banana janti thi. jab wo dono khana leke Sattar k pass pohche to wo khana dekh k bola" maine kaha tha k mujhe intezar karna pasand nahi phir bhi tum dono ne mujhe intezar karne par najboor kiya iski saza ye hai k aaj ka khana tum logo me se koi nahi khayega.. " " par hume bhi bhuk lagi hai.. bina khane k hum nahi reh sakte.." Tania boli. " mujhe jo kehna tha wo mai keh chuka hu.." ye keh kar Sattar utha aur kitchen me jaake sara khana phek diya aur khud aakr khane laga. "Sara khana phek diya, Aakhir wo apne aapko samjhta kya hai.." Nadeem ne gusse se kaha " hume bhooka hi sona padega.. " Mishkat ne kaha. " kisne keh diya hume bhooka sona hoga. ?? " Kabir ne kaha aur kitchen me chala gaya aur jab wapas aya to uske hath me ek plate thi jisme khana tha. " ye raha khana.. janta hu ye kam hai par hume ispar guzara karna hoga.." " ye tumhare pass khana kaha se aya..?? " Tania ne pucha. " kahi tumne ise niche se to nahi utha liya jise Sattar ne pheka tha..? " Nadeem bola. "Nadeem had hai yr.. Batata hu, jab tum dono khana leke Sattar k pass gayi thi mai bhi bahar hi khada tha maine jab suna k wo khana phekne ki baat kar raha hai to mai usi waqt Kitchen me gaya aur itna khana nikal k alag rakh diya.. bas phir kya tha ye raha samne.." Kabir ne bataya. " thanx yarr agar tumne ye na kiya hota to aaj hume bhooka hi sona padta.. " Nadeem ne kaha. " isme thanx kaisa meri jaga hum me se koi bhi hota to yahi karta.." . " han jab tak hum 4ro sath hai ek dusre ka sath nahi chodenge.." Mishkat boli. to Tania jaldi se boli " ab baate hi karte raho ge ya khana bhi khaoge..? " phir sab khana kha k so gaye. Abhi subha k 5 baje the k sab par pani ki barsat hui. kisi ne un par pani pheka tha jiski waja se wo hadbada k uth gaye samne dekha to Sattar khada tha. " chalo uth jao sab bohat so chuke .ab thoda kaam ho jaye " " magar hum to 12 baje hi soye the..itne jaldi..? " Nadeem bola. " mai ek baat bata du k is ghar me wahi hota hai jo mai chahta hu. yaha 5 baje se zyada sona mana hai, meri baat na manne wale ko saza bhi hogi, har kaam apne time par hona chahiye jo mai du. aur ha agar galti se bhi kisi ne mera kaha na mana ya koi bhi awaz nikali mere khilaf to accha nahi hoga." Sattar ne bataya. " mujhe abhi kaam nahi karna hai." Tania ne kaha " ye baat maine aap logo k liye hi kahi thi.ab bakwas band karo aur shuru ho jao.. " " mujhe bohat neend arahi hai aur mujhe kaam nahi karna sona hai.." Tania ki ye baat sun k Sattar ne gusse se uska hath pakda aur ye kehte hue " maine pehle hi warn kiya tha k mere khilaf jane par saza bhi milegi.. ab bhugto. " ek room ki taraf le jane laga. " use maaf kar diye wo aaj k baad aisa bilkul nahi karegi.." Mishkat ne kaha to Sattar bola " ha jab akele room me band rahegi pura din bina kuch khaye piye to zarur aisa nahi karegi.. aur naa hi tum log.." " bas ek last time chod diye please.." Kabir request karte hue bola. " agar apni khair chahte ho to chup chap yaha se chale jao, warna meri baat na manne k liye mai tumhe bhi andar band kar dunga.." Sattar gusse se bola tabhi Mishkat ne uska hath pakad k use rok liya " Kabir koi faida nahi bol k, wo nahi manenge. "
" to kya hum Tania ko poora din room me band rehne de..?? " Nadeem bola " iske alawa hum aur kuch kar bhi nahi sakte.. agar humne kuch bhi kiya to wo hume bhi Tania k sath lock kar denge. aur hum aisa nahi chahte " Mishkat samjhate hue boli. " listen abhi jo ho raha hai use hone do, rahi baat Tania ki to hum use akela nahi chodenge. kisi na kisi tarha uski help karte rahenge phir chahe khana ho pani..." Kabir bola inki baate hi chal rahi thi udhar Sattar ne ye kehte hue " bohat neend arahi thi na tumhe ab jao aur jitna sona hai so lo. pura din hai tumhare pass " band kar diya. " mujhe maaf kardo please. mai promise karti hu ab aisa nahi karungi.. mujhe bahar aane do..." Tania chilla rahi thi. " agar tumne pehle hi meri baat man li hoti to shayed ye sab na hota. " keh k wo waha se jane laga to wo 3no us room ki taraf bhage to Sattar unhe rokte hue bola " meri ijazat k bina waha koi nahi jayega aur agar gaya to wo anjam janta hai.." ye sunte hi wo log piche ho gaye aur waha se jane lage " tum log kaha ja rahe ho mujhe chod k ... yaha bohat andhera hai, mujhe dar lag raha hai.. please ruk jao, mat jao...." Tania window se chilla rahi thi, wo 3no use waha akele chod k jane k siva kuch kar bhi nahi sakte the. hall me pohach kar, " tum log pehle jakar kitchen me gira khana bahar phek aao " Sattar bola aur chala gaya. " mujhe to bohat neend arahi hai yrr.." " Itna sab kuch ho jane k baad bhi tumhe neend sujh rahi hai..? " Kabir ne Nadeem ki baat sunte hi gusse se kaha. " sry, bhool gaya tha k mai apne ghar par nahi hu.." Nadeem bola phir wo log kitchen me chale gaye.
" ab shuru ho jao.." Kabir ne zameen par pade khane ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha to Nadeem muh banate hue bola " ye to sad chuka hai ... kitni gandi smell hai.." " isse pehle k iski smell aur badh jaye ise phek aao. " Mishkat boli. phir unho ne pura khana ek jhole(Garbage bag) me dala aur use phekne Kabir aur Nadeem bahar chale gaye. " yaha to koi nahi hai hum bhag sakte hai." Nadeem ne yaha waha dekhte hue khushi se kaha. " ruko age mat badho, tumhe kya lagta hai sattar itni asani se hume jane dega..? ho sakta hai usne yaha Laser lagaya ho jisse bahar jane par Alarm bajne lage..?? aur hum pakde jaye." Kabir ne kaha. " Shayed tum sahi keh rahe ho, tabhi usne hume akele bahar jane diya. Aakhir hum kab is musibat se azaad honge..? " Nadeem khud se bola. " Sattar ki nazar me hum tabhi azaad ho sakte hai jab koi naya bakra, i mean naye log uske hath lage. tab tak hume yahi rehna hoga.." Kabir bola. " Aakhir naye log Sattar ko milenge kab..? " Tania window se bahar dekhte hue Mishkat se boli. " agar mil bhi gaye to hum unhe yaha rehne nahi denge. hum unhe bhi sath le jayenge.. " Mishkat boli
" kaisi pagalo jaisi baat kar rahi ho. Sattar aisa kabhi nahi hone dega.. " Tania boli " janta hu par hame kuch to karna hi hoga na.." Kabir ne aate hue kaha.
" par aisa hoga tab na, mujhe to aise asaar bhi nazar nahi arahe..." Nadeem bola to Mishkat ne pucha " kya matlab tumhara..? ". " matlab ye k Sattar to is ghar se bahar jata hi nahi, ab ghar baithe baithe to use koi milne se raha."
" hume kisi bhi tarha use bahar bhejna hi hoga.." Kabir bola. " magar kaise .?? jaise hum jake bolenge aap bahar chale jaiye kya pata aapko koi naye log mil jaye aur hum azaad ho jaye.. aur wo okay bol k chale jayenge.. wo bhala hamari baate Q manenge..?? " Tania boli. " wo sab tum mujh par chod do.. " Mishkat boli aur Sattar k room ki taraf badhne lagi.
Jaise hi Mishkat, Sattar k kamre k pass pohchi use wo bahar hi mil gaya. " tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..?? " " wo mai yaha ye kehne aayi thi k lakdiya khatam ho gayi hai aap jaake jungle se new le aaye." Mishkat darte darte boli. " kisne kaha lakdiya khatam ho gayi.. chalo aao mere sath." Sattar ne kaha aur ek room ki taraf badhne laga, Mishkat bhi uske piche darte darte chal rahi thi. tabhi Sattar ruka aur ek room ka darwaza khol k bola " jitni lakdiya chaho le lo.." aur chala gaya.jaise hi Mishkat ne darwaze se andar jhanka to dekha pura room lakdiyo se bhara pada tha. wo hairan thi.. phir kuch ladkiya utha kar le aayi. Mishkat ko aata dekh 2no bhagte hue uske pass aaye aur bole " kya hua ..? " . " kuch nahi , wo Sattar to bada chalak nikla. " Mishkat ne muh latkate hue kaha. " tumhara matlab kya hai.. ?? " Nadeem ne pucha,
" mai uske pass gayi thi ye soch kar k use lakdiya lene Jungle bhej dungi, magar usne to pehle se hi lakdiya jama kar k rakhi hai.. wo bhi poora room bhar kar. " Mishkat ne lakdiya niche rakhte hue Kaha. " ab hume jo bhi kadam uthana hoga wo bohat hi soch samjh kar uthana hoga.. " Kabir bola. " Aakhir hum use jungle kaise bheje..?? " Nadeem bola " iske baareme hum baad me sochenge abhi kaam pe lagna hoga.. " Kabir bola phir sab apne apne kaam me lag agye. nashta bhi ho chuka tha.
" tumhe kya lagta hai wo Sattar, Tania ko raat hone se pehle chodega..? " Nadeem ne pucha, " agar hum shant rahe aur apne kaamo me lage rahe to may be possible k wo use pehle hi chod de.." Kabir bola. " magar hume uske liye kuch to karna hi hoga na.? wo waha andhere me Akele hai, kahi dar aur akele pan ki waja se use kuch hogaya to..?? " Mishkat ne fikr karte hue kaha. " tum aisa kaise soch sakti ho..? maine ye to nahi kaha k hum bich bich me jaake usse milenge nahi.. jab bhi mauqa milega 3no me se koi na koi jaake usse milta rahe ga ." Kabir bola to Nadeem foran bola " han aisa karne se uska akela pan bhi door hota rahe ga.". " han bilkul , par sabse pehle ye kaam karo is Pani ki bottle (water bottle) ko us tak pohcha do kaise bhi." Mishkat ne bottle badhate hue kaha " mai ye use deke aata hu.. " kabir ne kaha to Nadeem ne bottle hath se lete hue kaha " nahi tum yaha raho mai jata hu. kahi wo Rakhshas agaya to tum use sambhal sakte ho aur ha meri fikr karne ki zarurat nahi, mai yu gaya aur yu aya.. " keh k wo idhar-udhar dekh waha se chala gaya. " kahi Sattar ne Nadeem ko dekh liya to .?? " Mishkat ne pareshani se kaha " tum uski fikr mat karo uska Ilaj hai mere pass.." Kabir bola. " kya karoge tum..? " . " mai jaake us Sattar ko apni baato me lagata hu jab tak mujhe aisa na lage k Nadeem wapas agaya hoga. " keh k wo Sattar k room ki taraf badha.
