jannat ke pattay...[Leaves Of Paradise]

part 67

Dimaagh kharab ho gaya hai inn dono ka. "Arm sar goshi mein kehte hue zara qareeb khisk aayi." Yeh jo Armaan sahib hain na, jin ko main apna driver bhi nah rakhoon. Unhone Canada mein kisi reality TV show mein hissa le kar direh million dollar jeete hain aur un sab ki jun hi badal gayi hai. Suna hai dono Honey Moon par Europe ke tour par ja rahe hain. Arm ke lehje mein na hasad tha, na rashk. Bas woh iktaai hui lag rahi thi.

Tab hi mein kahoon! "Usne istehzaai sor jhatka. Arm kuch deer mazeed bethi, phir uth kar chali gayi. Haya ko agar kisi ne stage ki taraf bulaya bhi toh woh nahi gayi aur isteraar bhi kisi ne nahi kiya. Uske sadmay se sab waqif the, magar uski dost ke gham mein kisi ne apna kaam nahi chhoda tha aur woh kisi se aisi tawaqo kar bhi nahi rahi thi. Phir bhi dil pe ek bojh sa tha. Kitni bay-hiss thi yeh dunya. Kaise lamhaat mein log khatam ho jaate hain aur yahaan kisi ka kuch nahi bigarta. Sab kaam jaari wa saari the aur...

Ek dum se bijli ghaib ho gayi. Saari batiyan gul ho gayin. Har taraf andhera aur sunaata chha gaya. Sirf camera amin ke cameras ki flash lights ki roshni reh gayi. Phir mayoosi, ghusa bhari mazmoor ki aawazain bulandi hui. Mobile ki torches taar cheez aan hui, kisi ne bhag kar bar-bar aamde ki YouPeeS ki tube light jalaai toh madham se faided roshni bar aamde mein phail gayi.

Raza, Farakh, Dawar waghera ko unki maon ne aawazain dien. Generator auto matek tha, phir kyun nahi chala?

Koi toh generator chalaye. Har taraf iktaai bhari aawaz mein sunayi dene lagi.

Ladke bhag kar bar aamde mein aaye aur Farakh ne jaldi se aage barh kar generator chalanay ki koshish ki. Magar uska engine murda para raha. Achay bhalay function mein badmizagi si ho gayi. Har taraf bechaini aur izteraab barhta ja raha tha. Har meez par ek tamtamati mobile ki torch jugmagaari thi.

Pata nahi abba nahi chal raha. Dawar bhai ne bhi do chaar dafa koshish ki, magar be sood. Woh haath jor kar mayoosi se kehte hue khade hue.

Abba aur taya Furqan bhi bar aamde ke sutoono ke paas aane khade hue the. Haya ki table chonk kar bar aamde seBohat qareeb thi is liye woh gardan mor kar baithi, sab kuch dekh rahi thi.

"Jao, mechanic ko bula kar lao ya doosre generator ka bandobast karo. Jaldi." Taya Furqan barhami se dantte apne beton ko dorha rahe the. Koi idhar bhaga, to koi udhar. Har taraf ek sharmindgi aur bezaari phail gayi thi.

Woh ek kahani mein pe tikaye, thorhi hatheli pe rakhe, gardan tirchhi kar ke bar aamde ko dekhe gayi, jahan madham si roshni mein rakha generator dikhayi de raha tha. Qareeb hi Taya Farqan aur Saleem Sahib khare qudrati se aapas mein kuch keh rahe the.

Dafata woh zara chonki. Usne jihan ko bar aamde ke zeenay charhte dekha. Taya Farqan aur Abba ne usay nahi dekha tha, woh aapas mein masroof the.

Woh khamoshi se aasteeniyan mazeed peechay morate hue aage barha aur generator ke samne ek panje aur ek ghutne ke bal baitha. Nichla lab danton se dabye, woh ab gardan jhukaye jaiza lene laga tha.

Phir sar uthaya aur mutlaashi nigahon se idhar udhar dekha. Qareeb se afratafri ke aalam mein sana andar jaati dikhayi di. Usne Sana ko awaz di. Woh thutth kar ruki. Usne kuch kaha to Sana ne zara uchhbay se sar isbat mein hilaaya aur andar chali gayi.

Chand lamhon baad uski waapsi hui to chhuri, peech kis aur aisi chand cheezen uske haath mein thin. Jihan ke saath woh sab rakh kar phir khud bhi wahin khadi ho gayi.

Woh generator ka core utaar raha tha. Tab hi Taya Furqan ki nigah us par pari to woh chonke. Woh baghair apne kartay ki parwa kiye, zameen pe baitha generator mein haath daal kar kuch dekh raha tha. Taya Furqan ki talaqub mein Saleem Sahib ne bhi us taraf dekha.

Fuel waloo mein kuch phans gaya hai. Abhi saaf ho jaye ga." Uski awaz madham madham si hayatik pahunchi thi. Sana bohat herat, bohat mutasir si uske sath khadi usay kaam karte dekh rahi thi, jo bilkul kisi mahir mechanic ke andaz mein bohat maharat se tarein idhar udhar kar raha tha.
