jannat ke pattay...[Leaves Of Paradise]

Magar saari gad-bad tab hui jab coffee ka cup labon tak le kar jaate hue usne Haya ko Abdul Rahman Pasha ke bare mein istifsaar karte suna. Coffee ke bhaap ne lamhe bhar ko uske chehre ko dhanp liya tha go ke woh ek second mein hi sanbhal gaya tha. Magar woh second bohot bhari tha. Agar is waqt woh uska chehra dekh leti to ek pal nahi lagta usay jaan'ne mein ke uske samne baitha gadha hi Abdul Rahman tha. Gadha hi to tha ke woh jaan hi na paaya ke uski biwi uske kor se waqif hai!

Woh magar kaise jaanti thi?

Is ne baalkhusoos is se hi Abdul Rahman Pasha ka kyun poocha?

Woh andar tak gad-bad gaya aur baat ko idhar udhar ghumaate hue shayad lamhe bhar ko woh zehni tor par itna uljha gaya tha ke bill ki file mein apna credit card rakhte hue yeh khayal na kar saka ke us pe Abdul Rahman Pasha likha hai.

Yeh khayal usay tab aaya jab is ne Haya ko ghusse se apne mulk ki himayat karte hue file ki taraf haath barhaate dekha. Allah Allah, aaj ka din hi kharab tha.

Is waqt qareeb se do waiters aik saath guzar rahe the. Mezoon ke mez push zameen tak girte the. Aise mein

jab is ne apne brief case ke saath rakhi chhatri ko raaste pe zara sa sar ka jha, to is ki yeh harkat na hairaane

deekhi, na hi sizzler platters uthaye waiter ne aur natijatan sab kuch ult gaya. Is sare mein

mein Haya ko bill wali baat bhool chuki thi. Is ne bohot araam se credit card nikal kar currency note rakh diye. Haan

magar Haya ka haath jala tha, aur pata nahi kyun takleef usay hui thi. Lekin woh apni hadd se aage na barh saka tha.

Aur pata nahi woh uske bare mein kitna jaanti thi? Kahin woh uske saath koi game to nahi khel rahi thi? Is duniya mein kuch bhi mumkin tha.

Yehi jaanne ke liye is ne waapsi pe Haya se kaha ke woh kichar theek se ghutne pe lagaye, keu ke uski kor story mein

jhol hai. Is ne kor story ke alfaz kehte hue bhagor Haya ka chehra dekha keh ke kor stories jasoos hi banayi

karte hain, aur agar woh kuch jaanti thi to is baat pe zaroor chonki, magar woh nahi chonki.

Isay zara itminan hua. Woh itna mashhoor nahi tha ke bahar se aane wala koi saiyah pehle hi roz usay jaan le, magar shayad

is ne kisi aise shakhs se Abdul Rahman Pasha ka zikr suna ho jo us ko zaati tor par jaanta ho. Pehle haal pehle is ne socha.

Tha ke wo usay kahe ga ke wo adalaar mein kaam karta hai. Magar ab yeh khatre wali baat thi. So usne doosra koar dhunda.

Wo bechaara to istiqlaal street ka aik maamooli sarishtornant owner tha. Haya ne yaqeen kar liya.

Pakistan jaane se pehle wo mammi se keh kar gaya tha ke agar wo us ki ghair mojoodgi mein aa jaati hai to wo usay aba se milne mat dein. Wo bohat taakeed kar ke gaya tha. Phir Pakistan ja kar wo zara masroof ho gaya aur yeh mumkin nahi tha ke wo eram ke paas ja sake, magar wo "Doli" ko eram ke paas bhejna chahta tha. Is liye usne ek professional ko is kaam ke liye bheja tha. Usay maloom tha eram, zaroor phone kar ke Haya ko bataye gi. Wo sirf yeh chahta tha ke Haya usay na bhoolay. Kahin kaha door andar usay yeh security thi ke wo usay bhool jaaye gi is khayaal ke baad dil jaise khali ho jaata tha.

Weekend peh wo waapas aaya. Abhi air port ke raaste mein tha, purane sheher mein, jab Haya ka us ko phone aaya. Wo un ke ghar aa rahi thi. Wo pata nahi kyun zara musarror hua. Usay achha lag raha tha ke wo un ke ghar aa rahi thi. Lekin jab tak wo pahuncha, wahan aik na-khushgawar waqe'a ronuma ho chuka tha. Kitni dafa wo keh kar gaya tha ke aba ko us se milne mat dena, magar mammi bhi to us baat par dhyaan nahi deti thi. Usay sakht gussa aur afsos hua tha. Pata nahi aba ne kya, kya keh diya hoga. Wo aksar pak espionage ka zikr karte jis ko unho ne mara tha. Mammi un ki un baaton ko pagal pan par mahmol karti thin. Albatta wo un ka pas manzar jaanta tha. Is liye usay takleef hoti. Albatta koi doosra un ki baaton se khatak bhi sakta tha.
