jannat ke pattay...[Leaves Of Paradise]

part 139

Wo aankhon pe bazor khay leti thi. Dafata darwaze par dastak hui. Usne aankhon se bazar hataiya. Usi tarah leti parday rahi. Darwaza khulne ki awaz aayi aur phir chalte qadam aanay wale ne aage barh kar khidki ke parday hataiye. Usay band aankhon se bhi sooraj ki roshni chhan kar khud pe parti mahsoos hui thi.

Haya utth jao beta! Tabiyat kaisi hai? Usne seen phupho ki awaz suni aur phir bed ki paeenti ke paas dabao mahsoos hua jaisay woh idhar bethe gayi thi.

Bukhar utara tumara? Unho ne jhuk kar uske mathe ko chhua. Haya ne bazu aankhon se hataiya aur khali khali nigahon se un ko dekha.

Shan'on pe dupatta liye baal catcher mein bandhay woh waisi thi. Par sukoon sabar thandi.

Main theek hoon. Wo kahni ke bul zarasi uthe. Naqahat pezardagi. Jaisay jism mein jaan hi na rahi thi.

Aur ye tumhare paon ko kya hua hai? Natasha keh rahi thi ke nai bande page la rahi hai. Ye bandage to bilkul kharab ho gayi hai. Unhon ne hole se uske peer ke angoothe ko cho kar kaha jis pe lagi pati ab purani aur khasta ho chuki thi.

Haya takye ke sahare bethe unhen dekhti rahi.

Jihan tumhare sath tha? Unho ne narmi se poocha. Jab se woh aayi thi, itni bimaar ho gayi thi ke phupho se baqaida baat ab ho pari thi.

Usne gardan istbat mein hilayi. Gale mein ansuon ka phanda parne laga tha.

Phir? Aur us phir ke aage sare khwab khatam ho jate the. Uski aankhein dubduba gayi thi.

Main nahi jaanti phupho! Hum sath the. Wo kehne lagi to awaaz bohot bujhli thi. Us raat aasmaan par baadal the aur chaand nahi tha tare bhi nahi the. Wo aage ja raha tha. Main ne usay rokna chaaha. Mana bhi kiya magar us ne... us ne meri nahi maani. Wo chala gaya... aur phir... aur phir woh wapas nahi aaya.

Phir pata nahi kya hua... magar... magar woh waapas nahi aaya.

"Kamray mein chand lamhon ke liye bujh si khamoshi rahi. Phupho ke chehre pe wahi sukoon 'wahi thehr o tha. Kia ise

Isi waqt waapas aana tha?

Nahi usne kaha tha ke aanay waale mangal ko wo ajaayega.

To abhi mangal aanay mein kuch din hain na wo ajaayega tum fikar kyun kar rahi ho?

Haya ne nefi mein sar hilaya.

Wo nahi aayega. Wo mushkil mein hai. Main nahi jaanti wo theek bhi hai ya nahi. Magar wo mushkil mein hai. Shayad zakhmi ho, shayad giraftar ho aur shayad... is se aage jumla toot gaya. Dil bhi saath hi toot gaya. Agar usne kaha tha ke wo aayega to wo zaroor aayega. Mujhe pura yaqeen hai. Unho ne jaise dila sa dete hue us ke haath ki peeth ko thapka. Wo bheegi nigahon se unka pur sukoon chehra dekhti rahi.

Main samjhi thi ke aap mein aur mujh mein bohot farq hai phupho! Aap sabr se intezar karne wali aurat hain. Magar main

Cheezen apne haath mein le kar jihan ke sath chalne wali aurat hoon. Lekin ab mujhe lagta hai ke takleef hum dono

Ke hisse mein barabar aayegi. Aap zahir nahi karti aur main chhupa nahi sakti. Bas yehi farq hai.

Be yaqeen na ho beta! Allah se acha guman rakho, acha hi hoga. Unho ne narmi se us ka haath dabate hue kaha. Wo sar

Bhi na hila saki. Ajeeb be yaqeeni si be yaqeeni thi.

Darwaza zara si dastak ke saath khula. Phopho aur haya ne ek sath us simt dekha. Natasha darwaze mein khadi

Thi. Haya badqat phika sa muskurayi aur aansu hatheli ki peeth se saaf kiye.

Haya kya tum uth gayi ho? Main tumhare liye bandage layi thi. Wo kharab ho chuka hai usay utar dete hain. Natasha saans Se angrezi mein kehti hui andar ai aur chhota sa box bed pe haya ke pairon ke paas rakha. Phupho us ko jagah dene
