Meerab murmured in low tone;

'Khas aur alag hu mein'.

Murtasim takes a hard bite and looks around. Out of anger the truth came out.If she asks something,what will he answer?He says to avoid talking.

"Niche chalo kafi raat ho chuke hai."

Suddenly Meerab said,

"Mein aap ke liye sab se khas aur alag kaise hui.Woh batai pehle."

Murtasim folded his hands on his chest.The body leans on the roof railing. This girl has to be understood as something else,otherwise who knows what she will think!He raised an eyebrow and said;

"Kiya sunna chahti hu kaise mere liye khas aur alag ho tum.To suno mere khandan ki har fard mere zindegi mein ek khas aur alag jaga rakhte hai.Tum bhi waise hi alag aur khas ho.Ab tum bolo tumne kiya socha tha?"

Meerab gets surprised.This word from his mouth was absolutely surprising.What do these two words mean?She became silent.Exhale quickly. Murtasim smiles in the absence of her. His lover's gaze is on the other side. What would happen if something like that came out of the mouth today?

"Tumne kya socha tha mein tumhe khas aur alag bolkar kuch aur mean kiya tha?Aurton ki dimag hai Allah!Ab jo tum mujhe itne raat ko chad pe bula kee akele baat kar rahi ho agar yeh baat meri dil ki malika ko pata lag jai na to woh kya sochegi.Kirdar pe dag laga doge mere."

Meerab looks at Murtasim.Is his mind working properly?How annoying she feels when hearing the word "dil ki malika" from his mouth.She scrunched up her nose and mouth.She laughs sarcastically and says-

"Aap apni dil ki malika ko apne pas dil mein sawar ke rakhiye.Aur suniye unse kahiye ga bilkul koi aur irade se maine aap ko chad pe nahi bulaya jo aap ki kirdar ko dag lag jaye.Unse yeh bhi kehna chote dimag ki na bankar khule dimag ki bane.To unke liye behtar hoga."

Saying this Meerab came from there.And did not look back once.Murtasim is laughing.What is the meaning of her anger?He stroked his beard.He took out a cigarette from his pocket.He set fire to it. Blows the smoke into the sky and started saying in his mind,

"Khud hi khud ko bhala bura kehke chali gayi.Yeh baat tumhe pata nahi lekin mujhe hai.Aur is baat ki bhi khabar hai barso se apni dil mein tumhare liye kitne mohabbat saja ke rakha hai maine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meerab was sitting with her face buried in a book Haya suddenly entered the room.She gasped and said;

"Aab shak ki koi gunjaish hi nahi raha ki Murtasim bhai tumhe sirf pasand hi nahi mohabbat bhi karte hai."

She put her book a side and give her an angry look and said;

"Kitni baar bola hai bakwas na karne ke liye.Woh mujhe nahi kisi aur ko pasand karte hai Haya.Fazol baten nikal do apni dimag se."

"To tumhare liye ghar mein rishtan aate hi hungama kyun machaya.Aur sab se yun kyun kaha abhi tumhari shadi ke waqt nahi aaya."She immediately asked her.

Meerab got wondering after hearing the words and asked her;

"Wakai aisa kiya unhone?"

She teased her and said;

"Ji bilkul aisa hi kiya aap ki ashik ne.Aur ghar ki baro ko pata na lage is liye bahana banaya tumhari parai ka.Warna jo log rishtan leke aaye the woh to turand mangni karana chahte the.Tumhe shayed unke ladke ne kisi shadi mein dekhe the.Woh log to utavle ho gaye the.Lekin Murtasim bhai ne unhe mana kar diya."

Meerab falls in tension and decides to talk with Murtasim regarding his behaviour.

Murtasim is standing on one side of the roof with his hands in his pockets. A lit cigarette in hand. Gaze at the congested city.The entire city sparkles at night and with artificial lights.Meerab walks slowly towards him. Saying in low tone;

"Aap se kuch baat karni thi mujhe."

Murtasim looks back at his beloved.Hugging his beloved suddenly.Meerab took a few steps back.Her whole body becomes cold as ice.Trying unsuccessfully to free herself.

"Yeh kiya kar rahe hai aap?Agar aap ki dil ki malika ko pata lage to kiya aap ke kirdar dagdar nahi hoga?Chore mujhe koi dekhega to kya sochega."

Murtasim says in a restless voice;

"Agar aaj mein tumhe kho deta to kya hota Meerab.Kaise koi aake tumse mangne ki himmat kar sakta hai woh bhi mere samne.Tum meri ho na sirf.Socha tha shayed kabhi mein tumse keh nahi paunga ki mein tumse kitna mohabbat karta hu.Jab se mohabbat ka matlab samjha hai tab se mohabbat kiya hai.Tumhare begair zindegi ke bare mein tasavur karna matlab sanso ko ruk dena hai.Tumhare liye mohabbat mere sanso ki tarha chalta hai.Jaise sanso ki bina zindegi nahi waise hi tumhari mohabbat ke begair mein nahi.Bohot Mohabbat karta hu tumse Meerab.Bohot jyada."

Meerab get surprised and shocked.Murtasim loves her.Her ears are ringing.A murmur has started in the chest. The body leaves completely. Forced to extricate himself from the bound.

"Yeh kiya harqat?Aap ka dimag thik hai?Aur aap ki to koi dil ki malika hai to aab yeh sab kiya hai?"

He steps closer to her and said;

"Meri dil ki malika to tum ho.Mere dil ki arzoo bhi ho tum."

"Mein?"She asked her.

"Ha tum.Sab tum ho.Mohabbat jo karta hu tumse."He said straight forwardly.

Meerab exhaled hotly.Then looks at Murtasim and asked;

"Is liye aaj meri rishtan aate hi aap ne unhe mana kar diya."

Murtasim leans on the railing.He smiles and says;

"Mere hote hi tumhari kisi aur shadi nahi ho sakta Meerab.Agar aisa karne ki koi kosish bhi karta to pure ghar mein aag laga deta."

"Agar is mein meri razamandi hoti to phir bhi shadi torne ki koshish karte?"She asked while looking at him.

"Tum razi nahi hote mujhe yakeen hai is baat pe."He immediately replied.

"Lekin mein to aap se mohabbat nahi karti."She again asked him with curious eyes.

"Aaj nahi karte to kya hua ek din kar loge.Mujhe pata hai Tum mujhse mohabbat nahi karte lekin yeh jante hui bhi mere dil mein tumhare liye chahat zara bhi kam nahi hue.Humesha dil mein umeed jalai rakha ek din tum khud ayoge mere pas aur kahoge Murtasim mujhe aap se mohabbat hai.Aur woh din bohot jald ayega."
