Main, Meri Biwi, Aur Mera Dost– Part 15

Intro– Main Ajit, sath laya hu iss story series ka 15th Part. I hope aap logo ko abhi tak poore 14 parts acche lage hain. And I wish yeh part bhi aap sab hi ko bohut accha aur anokha lagega. Toh bina waqt zaya kiye chaliye suru karte hain.

Rahul bhi thodi der bad bistar se utha aur kapde – dhapre pehen liya. Side table pe rakha hua khana pahele woh sab kha ke finish kiya. Fir bathroom ke or chal diye. Rahul naha dho kar fresh hone laga. Maine socha aab aur kuch nahi hoga, so, ghar laut te hain.

Maine laptop off aur car start kiya ghar ke or rawana hone ke liye. Rahul naha dho kar fresh ho chuka tha. Nahane ke bad apne room mein pada hua khane ke plate ko Rahul kitchen mein rakh kar aaya. Main ghar lauta. Formality ke liye Manali ke samne hi Rahul ka halchal poocha.

Usne kahan woh abhi thik hain. Usse ‘acche davaayi’ mila hain, jiske wajah se woh jhat se fit ho gaya hain. Woh special davaayi aur kuch nahi balki Manali khud thi, yeh Manali samet mujhe bhi pata tha. Dopaher ke waqt hum teeno sath mein lunch kiya.

Lunch ke bad Rahul ne kahan ki woh doctor ke pass jana chahta hain routine check-up ke liye. Waise bhi usne havass ke chakkar mein uss hafte ka appointment already miss kar diya tha. Aur usse pata bhi tha ki ghar mein mere rahete woh Manali ke sath kuch bhi nahi kar sakta.

Maine kahan main bhi uske sath chalunga toh usne maana nahi kiya. Khana khaa kar humne thoda rest kiya. Fir sham 5 baaje ke aas pass main Rahul ko lekar hospital jane ke liye nikal gaye. Oncologist Saturday ko bhi OPD (Out Patient Department) mein baithte the.

Hospital mein lagbhag humhe ek do ghante lag gaye. Rahul ke poore check-up ke bad hum ghar laute. Ghar laut te waqt boss ka call aaya. Kahan kal yani Sunday ko usne clients ke liye apne farmhouse mein ek party throw kiya hain. Aur mujhe wife ke sath party attend karne ko kahan.

Boss ne mujhe thoda jaldi aane ko bola, party organize ke liye mera help maanga. Aab boss ko kaun mana kar sakta hain. Woh chahte the main pahele aa jau party ke arrangement dekhne ke liye, wife agar bad mein aayi toh bhi chalega.

Boss ke kahein mutabik maine ghar laut kar Manali ko kahan ki kal boss ne ek party throw kiya hain. Mujhe wahan jaldi jana hain party arrangement ko supervise karne ke liye. Aur bad mein during party time woh (Manali) mujhe join kar legi. Usne mere baat par hami bhare (positive response).

Raat ko dinner ke bad hum apne room mein chale gaye sone. Uss raat kuch nahi hua. Rahul peechle raat ke galati dorana nahi chaata tha. Isliye woh bina koi aur daring harkat kiye chupchap acche bacche ki tarah apne room mein raha aur so gaya.

Agla din yani Sunday aaya. Party sham ko tha, par mujhe dopaher ko hi nikalna pada organizer ka kaam karne ke liye. Maine Manali ko kahan sham 7 baaje ke aas pass taiyyar hoke woh party ke liye nikal jaye. Usse location pata the. Taay tha ki woh akele hi party mein chali aayegi.

Mujhe usse ghar se ya kisi aur jagah se pick up karne ke jaroorat nahi padega. Kyunki party arrangement ke liye main waise bhi bohut busy rahunga. Dopaher ka lunch maine ghar par hi kiya. Lunch karne ke bad main nikla boss ke farmhouse pe jaane ke liye.

Sham ka waqt hua. Main party mein tha. Maine Manali ko call kiya. Usne kaha ki woh ready ho chuki hain, aab bass nikalne wali hain. Fir maine call rakh diya aur party mein busy ho gaya apne colleagues, clients sab ko attend karne mein.

Itna busy ho gaya party mein ki literally main Manali ke bare mein bhul hi chuka tha. Jab mere ek colleague ne poocha, “Where is your wife?” Tab jaa ke mujhe ehsas hua ki lagbhag ek ghante se upar ho chuka hain Manali ko call kiye hue. Par woh abhi tak nahi aayi party mein.

Maine usse call kiya par no answer from her side. Main thoda tensed ho gaya. Maine dobara usse call kiya. Kuch der ring hone ke bad usne recieve kiya.

Manali: Hello.

Me: Kahan ho tum? Itni der ho gaya hain abhi tak tum nahi aayi.

Manali thodi haklate (steamering) hue kahein, “Woh darasal jab main ghar se nikal reh the tab maine dekha Rahul ke tabiyat thoda bigad gaya hain. Isliye main nikal nahi payi. Abhi bhi main ghar par hi hu.”

Me: Accha toh tum kab aa reh ho? Kab nikal reh ho ghar se? Thoda aur late hoga kya?

Manali dabe awaazo mein kahein, “Waise Ajit, mera wahan aana jaroori hain kya? Kyunki mujhe nahi lag raha hain main abhi aa paungi. I am sorry, Ajit. Tum hi batao main kaise Rahul ko iss halat mein chhod ke jaa sakta hu.”

Maine kahan, “No, no. It’s ok. Tum ghar par hi raho. But tell me, anything serious? Rahul ko actual mein hua kya hain? Kya tumne koi doctor bulaya? Main kya abhi ghar laut jau?”

Manali: Nahi, koi jaldi nahi hain. Tum aram se party khatam karke aao. Chinta ki koi baat nahi hain. Tab usse suddenly thoda chest pain hua tha. Par bad mein apne aap thik ho gaya. Doctor bulane ki jaroorat nahi padi. Par fir bhi mujhe laga uss waqt usse akela chhor ke jana sahi nahi hain.

Manali: Isliye main thaher gayi. Abhi main taiyyar bhi nahi hue hu, so I don’t think ki main abhi party mein ja paungi. Better hoga ki tum party mein enjoy karo, party khatam karke ghar lauto. Ok.

Me: Tumne bilkul thik kaha Manali. Usse akela chhor ke yaha aana uchit nahi hota. Jab tak woh hain tab tak hum mein se kisina kisi ko uske sath rahena jaroori hain. Usse humare observation mein rakhna jaroori hain. Thik hain, main abhi phone rakhta hu. Ghar laut kar baat karenge.

Call cut hua. Fir main thoda soch mein pad gaya. Manali ki bolne ke taur tarikhe sunkar mujhe thoda doubt hua. Phone pe humare conversation ke time beech beech mein woh (Manali) thodi ruk ke ya haklate hue baat kar reh the. Kuch toh baat jaroor tha jo Manali mujhse chhupa ne ki kosish kar reh the.

Jaroor kuch aur reason hain party mein naa aane ki. Kya Rahul firse apne tabiyat kharab hone ke jhoot-mut ka bahana bana kar Manali ko rok diya? Kya usne firse mere absence ka faida uthate hue mere biwi Manali ke sath kuch ‘gulu gulu’ kiya?

Kyunki Rahul iss se pahele bhi jhooti tabiyat kharab hone ka naatak kar chuka hain. Khud ko bimar dikha ke usne Manali ki emotions ka poora faida uthaya hain. Aab janna yeh tha ki Rahul ke iss naatak mein kya usne Manali ko bhi saamil kiya hain?

Matlab kya Manali bhi Rahul ke kehne pe jhoot bolne lagi hain? Nahi toh Manali yeh sab baatein mujhse firmly (confidently) bolti, aise haklati nahi. Mere ander ka ACP Pradyuman jaag gaya aur mujhe kehne laga ki “Daya, pata lagao. Kuch toh gadbad hain.”

Maine apne car mein jaa ke dekha ki mera laptop wahin pe hi hain. Kal (peechle din) car servicing ke naam pe main car lekar bahar gaya tha aur sath mein laptop bhi le gaya tha. Uske bad se ‘luckily’ laptop car mein hi pada raha. Kal dopaher ko ghar laut kar bhul gaya tha laptop ko car se le aane mein.

Badh mein sham ko jab main Rahul ko lekar Hospital gaya tabh bhi laptop ke bare mein yaad nahi raha. Mera Lapi car mein hi reh gaya. Maine socha aab mujhe mera ‘Aastra’ (Weapon) mil chuka hain. Aab main easily yahan (party location) se find out kar sakta hu ki ghar mein actually hua kya hain.

Party tab zor-shor se chal raha tha. Sab apne apne mauz mein doob chuke the. Main chupchap car mein baith kar laptop on kara aur ‘shuruat se shuru’ kiya. Matlab kal (peechle din) sham se recording ko play karne laga poore circumstances ka jaayeza (observation) lene ke liye.

Kal sham Rahul ko lekar hospital ke liye rawana hone ke bad se aaj sham tak kya kya hua yeh bohut detailing ke sath dekhne laga main. Kal (peechle din) Rahul ko hospital le jane se lekar aaj (party day/ Sunday) party ke liye mere ghar se nikalne tak aisa kuch khass nahi hua.

Main dekha aaj mera party mein nikal jane ke bad bhi koi aisa ‘Sandhehajanak’ (Doubtful) ghatna nahi ghata. Asli drama tab suru hua jab sham ko Manali party mein aane ke liye taiyyar ho rehi the. Manali light grey colour ki saree pahene the. Blouse bhi same colour ki the.

Yeh saree Manali ki bohut favourite the. Shadi ke bad maine usse uski pasand ki hue yeh saree uske birthday par gift kiya tha. Manali bohut hi pyari lag rehi the uss attire mein. Zaahir se baat hain Rahul ka lalach badne wala tha Manali ko itni sundar saree mein dekh kar.

Woh apne ‘shikar’ ko itne asani se chhor ne walo mein se nahi tha. Manali apne room mein make up kar rehi the. Apne pyari se face par thodi touch up de rehi the. Rahul humare (mere aur Manali) room mein aaya aur Manali ke peeche khada hua. Woh apne pyase havasee nighao se Manali ko sajte hue dekhne laga.

Kuch der bad Manali ne notice kare ki Rahul uske peeche khada hain. Woh peeche mude aur Rahul se kaha, “Kuch kehna hain tumhe?”

Rahul: Nahi, bass main tumhe aankh bhar ke dekh raha tha.

Manali thodi sharma kar haste hue usse shukriya aada kiye, “Thanks.”

Fir achyanak Rahul ne Manali ko pakad ke apne bahon mein bhar liya. Manali ekdam se shocked ho gayi aur main bhi.

Manali: Rahul, what are you doing? Leave me.

Rahul: Oh, Manali! By seeing you in this saree, I can’t able to control myself now. Please don’t ask me to leave you. I am sorry, I can’t.

Manali apne aap ko Rahul ke giraft se chhurane ke kosish karte hue kahein, “Tum pagal ho gaye ho. Aise bachkani harkate maat karo. Mujhe abhi party mein jana hain. Ajit wait kar raha hain mera, chhoro mujhe.”

Manali ke lakh maana karne par bhi Rahul uske sath zabardasti karne laga. Usse randomly idhar-udhar choomne laga. Uske wajah se Manali ki make up aur sazawat kharab hone lagi. Manali bohut struggle kar rehi the Rahul ke bahon mein.

Woh Rahul se chutkara pane ke tamam kosishe karne lagi. At last, safalta uske hath lagi. Woh apne sare taqate ekkattha karke Rahul ko ek zordar push kiya. Aur finally usse apne se alag kar payi. Manali bohut gussa ho chuki thi. Woh Rahul ke upar bhadak gayi.

“Tumare dimag toh thikane pe hain! Kya kar reh the tum? You told me that you love me. But this is not love. Tumhe pata hain isse kya kehte hain? You are trying to molest me.”

Rahul phoot phoot kar ro pada. Rote hue kehne laga, “Kya karoon Manali, pahele bar tumhe saree mein dekha. Isliye mera dimag ghum gaya. Mujhe samajh mein nahi aa raha tha main kya karoon. Kis tarah se main apne ander ke genuine feelings ko bayaan karu.”

“Mujhe thik se pata nahi molestation, eve teasing kisse kehte hain. Yeh sab saheri bhasa hain. Aur main tahera chote se saher ka middle class minded boy. Apne feelings ko zaaher karte hue kab apna hade paar kar liya yeh mujhe pata tak nahi chala.”

“Mera waisa kuch intention nahi tha Manali, trust me. I am not a rapist what you think now about me. I am sorry. Please mujhe maaf kar dena.”

Yeh kehte hue rote rote Rahul Manali ki room se nikal gaya. Mujhe saaf samajh aa raha tha ki Rahul apne self defence mein khud ko Manali ke samne bhola baan ne ki pretend kar raha hain. Isliye usne masoom bante hue kahan ki woh chhote saher se hain.

Usse eve teasing, molestation ke bare mein koi samajh nahi hain. Usne jo kiya unintentionally kiya etc etc. Main Rahul ko bachpan se janta hu. Isliye uske har kadam aur chaal ke peeche chhupe hue asli aarth (meaning) ko main bohut baakhubi se janta tha.

Par Manali iss sab se (Rahul ke chalaki se) anjaan the. Woh Rahul ke ‘crocodile tears’ dekh kar emotional ho gayi. Woh thodi der kuch sochi and then Rahul ke room ki or chal diye. Usse laga Rahul bohut dukkhi hain, usse bohut guilty feel ho raha hain.

Isliye usse dilasa/santwana (Consolation) dene ke liye Manali Rahul ke room mein gayi. Rahul Manali ko dekh kar apna jhoota randi rona jaari rakha.

“Rahul, aise baccho ki tarah maat ro. It’s ok. I can understand, tumne yeh jaanbuz ke nahi kiya. Agle bar se please yeh dhiyan rehe ki kabhi bhi kisi ke sath zabardasti nahi karte, chahein woh insaan tumare kitne bhi karib kyun na ho.”

“I know, Manali. Par main kya karoon! Yeh dil hain ki maanta nahi. Har waqt tumhe apne pass rakhne ko maan karta hain.”

“Tum pagal ho gaye ho poore. Anyway, main abhi thodi jaldi mein hu. Mujhe party ke liye nikalna hoga. Main tumare liye raat ka khana bana kar rakh diya hain kitchen mein. Pata nahi kitne baje lautungi. Agar lautne mein deri ho gayi toh tum bass dinner time pe micro-oven mein khana garam kar lena.”

“Don’t go. Please don’t go, Manali.”

“Aise baccho ki tarah zid maat karo Rahul. Mujhe jaana hoga, jaana hi hoga. Ajit mera intezar kar raha hoga.”

“Kya tumare pass 20 minutes bhi nahi hain mujhe dene ke liye? Itni kya jaldi hain tumhe? Adha ghanta agar deri hua toh aisa kaun sa pahad tut kar gidega tumare sar par?”

“Kya karoge tum is 20 minutes ka? Aakhir chahte kya ho tum?”

“Main jeena chaata hu, tumare sath. Lekin jeene ke liye mere pass bohut kam waqt bacha hain. Tumare liye 20 ya 30 minutes ka koi jyada ehemiyat nahi hogi kyunki tumare zindegi lambi hain. Par mera samay limited hain. Mere liye ek ek minute bohut kimti hain.”

“Maine aaj pahele bar tumhe saree mein dekh raha hu. You are looking extremely adorable in this saree. Main iss pal ko apne yadon ke mehfil mein kaid karna chahta hu. Tum bass apne kimti samay ki kuch minutes mere naam kardo.”

Manali dabe awaazo mein kahi, “I know what you trying to say. But you should try to understand that this is not the right time. We already did it plenty of times before. Even I can convince myself to do it once again only for sake of you. But abhi nahi. Abhi main party ke liye taiyyar ho chuki hu.”

“Abhi yeh sab kiya toh mera dress up kharab ho jayega. Fir dobara taiyyar hone mein bohut time lag jayegi, and main late ho jaungi. Baat ko samjho, Rahul.”

Rahul ek emotional expression dete hue kahan, “Please Manali, iss tarah mujhe chhor kar maat jao. I beg of you. Ok, main tumari madat kar dunga tumhe dobara saree pahena ne mein.”

Rahul ne Manali ko ‘dobara saree pahena dene’ ki baat kahein! Yani ke Rahul blatantly yeh admit kar raha tha ke woh haramzada mere patni ki saree utarega hi. Manali bhi thode chonkh uthi Rahul ke aise derogatory baatein sunkar, “Dobara saree pahena ne mein, matlab? What do you mean by that?”

“You know what I mean. I promise, mujhe jyada waqt nahi lagega.”

“Please Rahul, aise zid maat karo. Mujhe party ke liye nikal ne mein deri ho reh hain, try to understand. Ok, I will think about this later. But, not now.”

“Par agar bad mein yeh mauka hi na mile toh? Tab agar tumara maan bhi karega toh bhi tum yeh sab kar nahi paoge. Abhi mere ander jo aag jaaga hain woh kahein mujhe hi naa jala kar raak kar de. Aab iss aag ko bass tum hi bhuja sakti ho. Tumhe pata hain ki main ek cancer patient hu.”

“Aur ek cancer patient ke itne uttejjna (excitement) uske sehadh ke liye accha nahi hain. Tumare liye agar party attend karna mere sehad ya zindegi se jyada important hain toh jao. Befikaar hoke jao.”

Manali Rahul ke baat sunke thodi darr gayi. Woh sochne lagi kahi sachmuch Rahul ko kuch ho toh nahi jayega agar usne abhi Rahul ke chahato ko poora naa kiya toh!

Rahul Manali ki doobidha aur badate hue kahan, “Mujhe jyada waqt nahi lagega, Manali. 15-20 minutes mein hi main sabkuch kar lunga. Don’t worry, tumhe party pe jane mein jyada late nahi hoga. Par agar aaj tumne mujhe yeh 15-20 minutes nahi diya toh sayed bad mein tumhe pachtana pad sakta hain.”

“Tumhe zindegi mein aise bohut parties attend karne ko milenge par yeh 15-20 minutes agar hath se chala gaya toh sayed yeh kabhi wapas naa aaye.”

Manali ke pass aur koi chaara nahi bacha. Manali naa chahte hue bhi kahein, “Thik hain, aise baat hain toh tumhe jo karna hain woh karo par thoda jaldi.” Rahul yehi toh chahta tha. Manali ko aise situation mein woh daale jahan se nikal pana Manali ke liye muskil ho jaye.

Rahul chahta tha Manali khud se razi ho uske sath sambhog karne ke liye, usse pahele ki tarah zabardasti karke nahi. Yehi toh Rahul ka asli victory tha. Woh pahele Manali ko saree mein dekh ke khud ko control nahi kar paya, aur tut pada uss par.

Fir Manali ke resistance dekhne ke bad usne apne plan mein thoda change kiya. Tab jaa kar apne mission ko accomplished kar paya. Usne as usual apna common weapon ka hi istemal kiya.

Cancer ke bimari dekh kar Manali ki sympathy lootna aur uss loote hue sympathy ko buri tarah exploit karke advantage lena. Aur uss mein Rahul kamiyab hua.

Aab aage kya hone wala hain iska andaza main aur aap khud laga sakte hain. Kya kya hone jaa raha hain Manali aur Rahul ke beech. Yeh janne ke liye aap logo ko thoda sa intezar karna hoga.
