Part 8
Geet listening to his questions tried to find answers but on not coming with appropiate answers she remained silent.
Maan continued as his words were leaving impact on her-"Geet , Swarg-narak naam ki koi jagah nahi hoti hai."
"kaise nahi hoti hai? Humare granth me ye baatein likhi hai , humare guruo ne hume ye bataya hai,ye galat kaise ho sakti hai?"-Geet retort back.
With deep sigh he thought-'what he should do of this stubborn girl. Here he is trying hard to somehow stop her from attempting suicide again and she is intrested in debating about religious things.". He was getting bored but once again he got ready with an explainaion so that he can change her mindset-"Tumhe pata hai unhone ye baatein kyu kahi thi?"-Geet shook her head in denial-"kyuki wo jaante the. Jis din inssan ke andar se darr khatam ho jaayega. Tab wo galat raashte par jaane se nahi hichkega. Aur tab iss swarg si dharti ko narak banne me waqt nahi lagega. Pyar aur achhayi se jyada nafrat aur buraai hogi. Log apne swarth, apni khushi ke liye kuch bhi karenge aur dusro ki fikr tak nahi karenge."
Geet was looking at him wide eyed and nodded in affirmation as if she understood everything. Maan did a mental dance on his victory which soon stopped by geet's next question.
"par jo sadhu humare ghar padhare the unhone kaha tha ki unke aashram ke sabhi log jinhe kisi mare hue vyakti se milna hota hai issi samay sarir tyagte hain balki unke aashram ke sansthapak jo ki bahut vidwaan the unhone hi iss prampara ki suruaat ki. Ab bataiye ye galat kaise ho sakta hai?"-Geet looked maan with childlike anticipation that he will explain it too.
Maan shook his head at never ending questions of geet and said-"Geet chalo jeep me baitho rashte me baat karte hain."-saying this he took driving seat and taking U turn started to drive. He turned to look geet whose eyes were already fixed on him and said-" Mujhe tumhari baat sunke ek kahani yaad aa rahi hai . Sunao?"
All of a sudden geet become more enthusiastic and nodded her head with bright smile . Watching her dazzling smile Maan's mood too lifted. He started his story-
"Ek baar ek ghar me bhoj ka aayojan hua . Rasoi ghar alag-alag tarah ke pakwaan se bhare pade the. Bhoj ke samay hi kahi se ek billi uss rasoi ghar me aa gayi aur Ussi waqt uss ghar ki malkin bhi waha se gujar rahi thi. Ussne billi ko waha dekhkar socha ki kahi billi sara khana jutha na kar de issliye usse bhagaane ke chkkar me laathi se maara. Bill ki kismat kharab thi, wo ek chaku ke paas khadi thi. Jaise hi ghar ki malkin ne usse lathi se maara billi ke pet me chaku ghusha aur uski mout ho gayi. Ab mari hui billi ko mehmano ke samne bahar le jana usse achha na laga issliye billi ko wahi kapde se topkar rakh diya.
Billi ko marte aur topte hue ghar malkin ko uski bahu ne bhi dekha par unse koi sawal nahi puchha. Din bite aur ek din uss ghar malkin ki mout ho gayi. Phir bhoj hua aur iss baar uski bahu ne sab kaam sambhala. Usne apni saas ko billi maar kar topte hue dekha tha issliye wo bhi khojkar billi layi aur maar kar top diya kyunki usse laga ki ye unke ghar ki parampara hai."-Maan finished his story and watched geet who was laughing listening his story.
"To geet ye parampara to uss ghar ke malkin se suru hui jo ki kafi samajhdar thi. To kya ye sahi hai?"-Maan asked raising his eyebrow.
"Nahi Maan, ye galat parampara hai. Main samajh gayi jo aap samjhana chahte the."-Geet said with a smile.
They had reached km by the time this conversation got finished.
