Chapter 23

dekhte hai aaj pehle din ki shuruaat kaise hoti hai..........Sujal pura din office me busy rehta hai aur Kashish pura din apne kamre me beth ke apne aap ko kosti rehti hai...........

Kashish (to herself); Papa..........maine aisa kaunsa gunah kiya hai ki her bar yeh sab kuch mere saath hi hota hai.........maine to aaj tak kisi ke bare me bura nahi socha............papa aaj main bahot akeli ho gayi hoon.........aap kaha hai .........muje aapki zaroorat hai.....pata hai papa....jise hum apna samajte hai wahi kyun dhoka dete hai............yeh bhi nahi sochte ki mera dil tut chuka hai use aur kitni bar log todenge.........aaj main bilkul tanha hoon.........lekin aapke jane ke bad tanhai me bhi kisi ne saath diya hai to mere aanshu ne............woh aaj bhi mere saath hai aur kal bhi rahenge......................

Jab Kashish ki aankh bandh hoti hai aur uski aankhoin se aanshu girne hi wale hote hai ki kisi ke haath pe girte hai..............us insaan ke ehsaas se Kashish apni aankhein kholti hai to Sujal ke hatheli pe Kashish ke aanshu hote hai............

Kashish: Sujal tum yahaan............

Sujal: Kashish..........tum muje jo bhi saza dena chahti woh muje manzur hai lekin yeh saza mujse nahi sahi jayegi...............yeh aanshu tumse jyada muje taklif dete hai.......kyunki muje maloom hai ki iski waje sirf main hoon...........ple Kashish ab sab kuch bhool jao main tumhe aise nahi dekh sakta...........

Kashish: Sujal bhula use jata hai jise yaad na rakhna ho...........lekin yeh hadse to mere zindagi me nasur banke muje puri zindagi chubte rahenge.............is liye iske bhulne ki baat mat karo.........aur tumhe yaha nahi aana chahiye tha...........kyunki ab hamara rishta is kagar tak aa gaya hai ki ab kabhi nahi jud sakta................

Sujal: janta hoon lekin tumne muje ek aakhri moka diya hai jise main her haal me nahi jane dunga............muje pura yakeen hai ki aaj se saat din bad tum mere saath apni marzi se hamare ghar aaogi...........

Kashish: tumhe galatfemi hai..........aaj se saat din bad me yeh seher chod ke Shimla ja rahi hoon..............

Sujal; Shimla jane ki naubat nahi aayegi...............aur agar phir bhi tum jana chahti ho to main khud tumhe Shimla chodne aaunga aur main vaada karta hoon ki uske bad mud ke tumhari zindagi me kabhi nahi dekhunga..........lekin tumhari zindagi ke yeh saat din sirf mere hai..............

Kashish: thik hai ........muje manjur hai.........

Sujal: to aaj ke bad is bare me na main aur tum koi bhi baat karega.............aaj se nayi zindagi ki shuruat...........kuch din pehle tumne mujse dosti ki baat ki thi aaj main kuch kehna chahta hoon..........mujse dosti karogi.........

Kashish: woh.......woh main........

Sujal; bahot hi aasan sawal hai..........haa ya naa..........bolo meri dost banogi...........abhi keh deta hoon........agar naa kaha to muje zindagi bhar afsos rahega aur agar tumne haa kaha to tumhe zindagi bahr afsos rahega..........

Kashish: kya.......

Sujal hasne lagta hai........

Sujal: kuch nahi..........................ab bolo haa ya naa.........

Kashish: haa......

Sujal: haa kaha hai to dost ki baat manni padegi...........neeche Bhabhi tumhara khane pe intzaar kar rahe hai unhone muje kaha ki tumne shubaah se kuch nahi khaya................

Kashish: tumne to kal raat se kuch nahi khaya.............

Sujal: nahi to maine to subaah ka nasta bhi kiya aur phir dopahar ka lunch bhi...........

Kashish: jooth mat bolo............kuch dair pehle Bhabhi ka phone aaya tha.............usne muje bataya............kyun nahi khaya kuch subaah se..........

Sujal: tumne bhi to kuch nahi khaya.........

Kashish: tumne is liye nahi khaya ki maine nahi khaya ki tumhe bhukh nahi thi...........

Sujal: pata nahi.......lekin tum abhi chalo varna Bhabhi muje dategi......ab chalo.........

Kashish: ab bache shararat nahi karenge to kya bade karenge............

Sujal: kya pata koi bada tumhare jaisa ho to............

Kashish: kya matlab hai tumhara...........

Sujal: kuch bhi nahi....................

ab Kripa Ria ko khana khila rahi hoti hai.............

Ria: mama aap ko pata hai na ki muje yeh wali dal bilkul pasand nahi to aapne kyun banayi...........

Kripa: kyunki mung ki dal tumhari bua ki sabse favorite hai.........

Ria: sach bua........

Kashish: haa.......tumhari mama itni achchi banati hai ki kya kahoon............

Sujal: muje nahi pata tha ki tumhe aisi dal pasand hai waise aur kya kya achcha lagta hai..............

Kripa: Kashish ko khane me aloo ke parathe.........mung ki dal...........aloo matar ki sabzi...........aur sabse jyada kheer..............aur jab use bahot gussa aa raha ho to use chocolate de dena gussa do minute me thanda ho jayega.............aur kashish ko baris bahot pasand hai...........aur kashish ko phool bahot pasand hai khas karke white lily.............kashish ko red color bahot pasand hai...........aur bahot kuch........

Sujal: bahot hi khas aur alag kisam ki pasand hai..........

Kripa; haa tabhi to tumhe pasand kiya...........

Kashish aur Sujal ek dusre ki aur dekhne lagte hai........

Ria: mama yeh dono kaha kho gaye............dekhiye khana bhi nahi kha rahe..............

Sujal aur Kashish wapas hosh me aake sabse nazre churakar khana khane lagte hai aur aise hi Sujal wapas ghar chala jata hai...............Sujal apne kamre me aake dekhta hai to her jagah se Kashish ki aahat sunai de rahi hoti hai..........Sujal aise hi apne khayaloin me pillow leke sofe pe sone chala jata hai.....................

*****************************************************************************

aaj ke din ki shuruaat bhi aise hi kuch hoti hai...........Sujal pura din office me busy rehta hai aur sham ko Kashish se milne uske ghar aata hai jaha pe Kashish bahar barish me akeli zule pe ceth ke apne hi khayaloin me kahi khoyi huyi hoti hai............jab Sujal aake uske kandhe pe haath rakhta hai.............

Kashish: Sujal tum........

Sujal: tum yaha bahar baris me kya kar rahi ho..........bheeg gayi to bimar pad jaogi...........chalo andar............

Kashish: baris............yeh baris kab shuru huyi...........muje to pata hi nahi chala..................

Sujal: agar aise hi bethi rahi to aisa hi hoga.........aur Bhabhi bhi aise kaise tumhe yaha chod ke ja sakte hai........

Kashish: Bhabhi ghar pe nahi...........isi liye ghar me akele darr lag raha tha to bahar chali aayi..........

Sujal: ab tumhari waje se main bhi pura bhig gaya.........chalo andar............

Sujal aur Kashish andar jane lagte hai jab kichad ki waje se Kashish ka pair fisal jata hai ,.........kashish zor se apni aankhein bandh kar leti hai........lekin Sujal ne use pehle hi pakad liya hota hai............

Sujal: Kashish aankhein kholo tum bilkul thik ho.............

Jab Kashish dheere se apni aankhein kholti hai aur bina kuch kahe andar jane lagti hai..............jab woh piche mudti hai...........

Kashish: thank you........

yeh kehke woh wapas andar chali jati hai aur Sujal sirf use dekhta hi rehta hai aur phir woh bhi Kashish ke piche jane lagta hai...................ab dono Kashish ke kamre me hote hai........

Kashish: yeh lo towel...........tum apne bal poch do warna shardi lag jayegi..........tab tak main apne kapde badal ke aati hoon...........

Kashish kapde badalne washroom chali jati hai jab Sujal aise yahan wahaan dekhne lagta hai jaha pe Kashish ki writing table pe Kashish ki diari padi huyi hoti hai.........Sujal use khol ke dekhta hai to yeh Kashish ki peotry ki diary hoti hai..............Sujal pehle pane ko padhne lagta hai...........

Jab Raat Ke Tanha Lamhon Mein
Koi Aahat Mujh Se Kehti Hai
Is Dil Mein Halchal Rehti Hai
Koi Jugnu Pass Se Guzre To
Koi Baat Halke Se Nikle To
Main Khud Se Ulajhne Lagti Hon
Phir Jaane Kya Kya Kehti Hon
Phir Yaad Uski Aati Hai
Phir Pal Do Pal Ke Lamhe Ko
Yeh Sans Meri Ruk Jati Hai
Ek Sholah Dil Mein Bharakta Hai
Woh Dard Sehar Tak Rehta Hai
Phir Weham Mujhe Yeh Kehta Hai

Koi Mere Dil Mein Rehta Hai

Sujal abhi bhi pad raha hota hai jab Kashish bahar aake apni diary Sujal ke haath se le leti hai.........

Kashish: tumhe mujse puche bina meri diary nahi padhni chahiye thi..................

Sujal: sorry muje nahi pata tha ki tumhe itna bura lagega..........lekin jo bhi likha hai bahot achcha likha hai.................

Kashish: tumne aur kuch to nahi padha na...........

Sujal: kyun mere bare me kuch bura likha hai...........

Kashish: main kaun hoti hoon apni diary me tumhare bare me bura likhnewali...........ab tum betho main coffee banake aati hoon..........

Kashish jane se pehle apni diary apni almari me sambhal ke rakh ke chali jati hai............kuch waqt bad woh coffee leke aati hai............

Kashish: coffee..........

Sujal: jyada chini to nahi dali.........

Kashish: nahi.........aur phir bhi yakeen na aaye to chak ke dekh lo...........

Sujal drinks first sip..........

Sujal: bahot hi achchi hai jaise muje pasand hai...............

Kashish: itne dino saath rehne ke bad itna to pata chal gaya ...........khair yeh sab chodo ghar pe sab kaise hai.............

Sujal: sab thik hai..........Dadi tumhe bahot yaad karti hai............aur aajkal Anjalibhabhi Ved ke saath thoda busy hai kyunki Ved ki exams chal rahi hai..................Mama aaj Kavyabhaiyaa ke saath naye project ki meeting me gaye the.............lekin sab tumhe bahot yaad karte hai..........

Kashish: aur tumhe koi kaam nahi jo tum yaha pe mujse milne aa jate ho...........

Sujal: is kaam ke liye main sab kaam chod sakta hoon kyunki yeh mere liye sabse zaroori kaam hai...........haa kaam se yaad aaya muje kuch paper pe zaroori sign chahiye tumhari...........main abhi leke aata hoon...........

Sujal car me se apni file leke aata hai..........

Sujal: tumhe yaha pe sign karna hai.........

Sujal: woh jo maine Swayam ke saath jo deal ki thi use cancel karne ke liye muje bank ki loan ab akele chukani hogi............jo nuksan hua hai uske liye hamari company se paise jayenge..............

Kashish:: yeh nuksan meri waje se hua tumhe..............i am sorry........

Sujal: nahi kashish.........tumhe sorry kehne ki koi zaroorat nahi..........agar maine tumhari baat man li hoti to aaj yeh din nahi dekhna padta............muje mere hi kiye ki saza mili hai............aur yeh to achcha hua ab pata chal gaya warna aur bhi nuksan hota.....................is liye kabhi bhi apne aap ko jimedar mat samajna...........kyunki iska jimedar main hoon....................ab yeh baat yahi khatam karte hai..........yaha pe sign kar do............

Kashish sign karne lagti hai..........

Sujal: ek bar padh lo......

Kashish: padh ke apne dosti ki beizzati nahi karna chahti aur jo bhi hai woh tumhara hai is liye padhu ya na padhu kya farak padta hai..................

Kashish sign kar deti hai..........

Sujal: ab main chalta hoon...........apna khayal rakhna.................bye.......

Kashish: bye...........sambhal ke jana..........bahar baris hai.............

Sujal: ok......bye........

Kashish: bye...........

Sujal aaj bhi wapas chala jata hai..........................
