*************************** Part 13 ****************************
"Jao"
"Na....nahi"
"Woh akela hai, koi nahi hai"
"Nahi"
"Ab jao bhi."
"Nahi."
"Jao kaha naa!!!!!"
It was night and Prithvi was sitting alone on the cot laid outside his tent. He was pondering on his conversation with maha mantri and Jeevan. They were tensed for something and there was something wrong happening, which they did not want him to know. He decided to keep an eye on them. He also found that guy with red turban, who entered Maha mantri's tent, suspicious. Though his talk with maha mantri was a bit normal, his body language gave an hint to Prithvi. Mahamantri and that guy must be knowing each other well, Prithvi thought. Its like someone is helping his enemy here. Who Maha mantri or Jeevan, without involving their Maharaj? Or Maharaj Abhay singh himself? But Nagaon is friend of Delhi. Or someone else is the culprit? No clue hit him. He planned to track that red turban guy too and look out for his actions that night, but he couldn't. He suddenly remembered that he has to go through a punishment with Sanyogita for no good reason and wondered what those people will make them do. He recalled how he was tied up with her, how he felt like hugging her tight and suddenly felt her aura around. He turned to his left and glanced at her tent and saw shadows of Maya maa and Sanyogita. His eyes followed Sanyogita's shadow everywhere in the tent. When it disappeared he stared in that direction for some time. Since he left for his mission, he felt a power or force, which is bringing them together. "Kismat ne tumhe phir milaya hai. Koi baat toh hogi." He remembered Arjun's words. But he decided not to raise his hopes high.
As he was engaged in his thoughts, he sensed someone is coming near him. He quickly turned in that direction.
"Ar..... ar..... rey arey bhai....." said one man coming near him. He panicked when Prithvi looked at him. He some how came and stood near Prithvi looking here and there.
"He he he" He laughed in a strange way.
Prithvi saw that man having long moustache curled upwards, big black beard, big black spot on his left cheek and thick black eyebrows. His one eye was half closed or narrow, Prithvi could not make out. He was in black and blue rajasthani outfit, which was so loose that he was floating in it. That guy suddenly turned his face in opposite direction while Prithvi was observing him and laughed again "He he he..." with small pitch.
"Kya chahiye?" asked Prithvi.
"Ho...hookka milega?" He replied in a weird tone.
"Mere pass nahi hai." Prithvi turned his face in other direction.
"Hoga...... dekh lo." He insisted.
"Nahi hai bhai." said Prithvi without looking at him.
"Accha, toh phir yeh raat kitni kali hai, hai naa?" He spoke in an irritating way, as if something is stuck in his throat.
Prithvi looked right and left, and wondered what this strange man is talking about?
That guy continued "Aur hawa bhi kya hai!!! He he he."
Prithvi looked at him "Kyun pareshaan kar rahe ho bhai? Jao apna kaam karo."
"Apna kaam hi kar rahe hu. Achha thik hai...., tum...tumse ek baat puchni thi." saying this he sat beside Prithvi. He looked scared. Prithvi saw sweat on his forehead.
"Kya?" asked Prithvi, sounding rude.
"Woh... woh... uss tambu mein jo ladki hai..... " He pointed towards Sanyogita's tent.
"Woh San......Sanyo..gita......" He swallowed hard. Closing his eyes he said
"Kya-tum-mujhe-uske-baare-mein-kuch-bata-sakte-ho?" He said this quickly in one breathe, as if it will have less effect on Prithvi. But Prithvi sat straight and stared at him.
"Kya naam hai tumhara?" Prithvi asked. He watched him carefully and thought he has seen him somewhere.
"nahi,... Mera naam... mera naam....." There was panic in his voice. ".....mera naam
has.....s ha Hasmukhlal hai." He said thinking something.
"Thik se yaad karo."
"Ha..... usme yaad kya karna?"
"Toh tum Hashmukhlal ho?" asked Prithvi nodding his head.
"Ha.. Kyun?..... Koi shak" He sat straight.
"Jaldi chut ke aaye tum."
Hashmukhlal was unable to understand what Prithvi said, so he changed the topic "Hum tumse umar mein bade hai, aap kaho samjhe." He touched his beard.
"Bade ho toh badon jaisa hi bartav karo." Prithvi said flatly with increased voice and ignored his request. "Sanyogita ke baare mein kyun puch rahe ho?" he asked in threatening tone.
"Woh kya hai.... maine tumko usase baatein karte dekha, isliye puchne chala aaya."
Prithvi turned at him completely. "Woh .... woh....." Hasmukhlal forgot what he has to say next.
"Apni Jaban ko lagan do aur Dobara Sanyogita ka naam mat lena samjhe."
"Hasmukhlal ko dhamki?" He rolled his moustache. "Maine dekha tum dono lad rahe thhe, Kyun?"
"Tumhari himmat kaise hui usse dekhne ki?"
"He he he " Hasmukhlal again laughed in an irritating tone such that Prithvi made a disgusting face. "... hum toh bade himmatwale hai. Apno se chup chup ke rehna bada mushkil kaam hai..... tum jante ho bhi." Hasmukhlal suddenly made sad face.
"Apni bakwas band karo aur jao yaha se."
"Woh-hume-badi-achhi-lagi." said Hasmukhlal out of the blue.
Prithvi got up in anger. "Utho yaha se" saying this he made Hasmukhlal stand.
Hasmukhlal got up and said "Hum... hum Sanyogita ke bahot achhe dost hai."
"Achha, Mein puchu usase?" asked Prithvi moving towards him.
"Nahi....." He made a crying face.
Again in a threatning tone, Prithvi said "Yaha rehna hai toh sharafat se raho, aayenda uski aur aankh utha ke bhi dekha toh, tumhare liye yeh achha nahi hoga." Again suddenly Prithvi felt as if he has seen this guy somewhere. He squinted at him. Hashmukhlal turned his face in other direction.
"Dekho yeh yeh...baat karne ka thik tarika nahi hai." He again turned at Prithvi "Tumhe nahi pata mein kaun hu aur kya kar sakta hu? Tum dar jaoge humse." He moved one step behind watching anger in Prithvi's eyes.
"Yeh dhamki kisi aur ko dena tum aur Sanyogita ke aaju baju bhi dikhai mat dena."
"Humse takkar....... Kya karoge tum? Hum toh ab uske saath hi rahenge...... He he he"
Hasmukhlal again moved hands on his moustache.
Prithvi felt nettled. He went near him and hold his collar. Hasmukhlal wore scary look on his face.
"Kya lagti hai woh tumhari?" Hasmukhlal lowered his shoulders and asked.
Prithvi hold him tight "Meri koi bhi lagti ho..... tum....." And before prithvi completed his sentence, Hasmukhlal, with great effort released himself from Prithvi's grip and ran away, adjusting turban on his head and whispering "Bachao". He was Sanjam.
Sanjam somehow took long route and came near the tree where Payal, Pundir and Arjun were there. Pundir and Arjun brusted out in laughter holding their stomach. Payal was simply smiling.
"Raat kya kali hai naa Pundir" said Payal looking up at the sky.
"Ha Payal, aur hawa bhi kya hai." Pundir added waving his hands.
Arjun laughed even more.
"Kaise ho Hasmukhlal?" Arjun asked Sanjam, controlling his laughter and patting him. Sanjam shrugged and dusted Arjun's hand from his shoulder with anger. "Kya kaisa hu?" He replied angrily.
"Tum hamare samne hamesha ki tarah baat kar sakte ho."
Since Sanjam's voice was unique and eaisily recognizable, he was asked to speak in a different tone other than his normal one, in front of Prithvi.
"Achha bakra banaya mera." Sanjam said in his normal tone.
"Tum log mujhe marvaoge. Mujhse yeh sab nahi hoga." saying this he started removing his get up.
"Arey arey....kya kar rahe ho?" said Payal."Aur Hashmukhlal naam batane ki kya jarurat thi? Kuch aur hi bol dete, tumhe pata bhi hai, Hashmukhlal yaha ke Sarpanch ka naam hai."
"Tabhhi mein sochu yeh naam mere jabaan pe aaya kaha se?" said Sanjam. "Yaha kahi pe yeh naam mere kanon pe pada hoga, aur Phir Prithvi ke samne mere muh se yahi naam nikla."
"Maje ki baat toh dekho." Payal turned towards Pundir and Arjun "Yeh poshak bhi humne Hasmukhlal ke tambu se churaye hai." She pointed at Sanjam's dress.
"Kya??" Sanjam cried.
Arjun smelled Sanjam's clothes and made disgusting face. "Isliye Sanjam se buddhhe aadmi ki badbu aa rahi hai." He said.
Sanjam pushed him angrily saying "Tum teeno mujhe pitvaoge, pehle asli Hasmukhlal ke haatho phir Prithvi ke haaho. Pata hai Prithvi kitna ghussa hai mujhpe?"
"Toh kya hua? Ab toh tumhe usse aur ghussa dilana hai." Payal said with a naughty smile.
"Nahiii....." sajanm made a crying face "Mein yeh sab nahi karunga." he said, looking at Payal.
"Apne dost ke liye itna bhi nahi karoge tum?" Payal asked making serious face.
"Uske liye jarurat pade toh apni jaan de dunga mein, par yeh sab nahi."
Arjun again patted Sanjam and said "Sanjam mere bhai..... Shant ho jao. Dekho Tumhare liye yeh achha mauka hai, yeh sabit karne ka ke, tum bhes baldalne mein kitne mahir ho."
"Mujhe kuch sabit nahi karna hai. Aur tum dono ko ho kya gaya hai?" Asked Sanjam looking from Arjun to Pundir. "Tumne dekha nahi Prithvi kitna pareshaan hai?"
Pundir became serious "Hum tumhe sab samjha toh chuke hai naa Sanjam? Agar kuch achha ho sakta hai toh hume yeh mauka gawana nahi chahiye."
Pundir was right. Like Arjun, Pundir and Payal even Sanjam wished that Prithvi and Sanyogita should come together again. He really wished to contribute in this task, but at the same time he was nervous to talk to Prithvi about Sanyogita and how he like her. Whatever it was, though he and Prithvi were best friends, Prithvi is a king and Sanyogita, Prithvi's lady love, was no other but a princess. Sanjam had always maintained a distance in every relationship. Though he knew it was a drama, he somehow felt uncomfortable to talk about Sanyogita in a lavish manner. And if by any chance Prithvi recognised him, he is going to be very angry at them for playing this joke on him. So Sanjam should be careful before Prithvi, which was agian not easy. He racked his brain to find any other way to reunite them because he did not like this idea. Since he did not find any alternate way, he was forced to listen to Arjun, Pundir and Payal.
"Aur hum yeh umeed karte hai ke tum yeh natak acheese nibhaoge." Pundir continued.
Sanjam folded his hands "Tumhe lagta hai iss natak se kuch achha hoga?"
"Aur agar kuch hua toh?" asked Payal flatly.
"Ha" Sanjam unfolded his hands and nodding his head said "Hoga yehi, ke Prithvi talwar leke mere upar baith jayega."
Payal and Arjun giggled.
"Itni naubat nahi aayegi Sanjam." said Pundir.
"Par tum yeh mat bhulo Sanyogita meri bhabhi jaisi hai."
Pundir smirked "Isliye toh humne tumhe chuna hai, naki kisi aaire gaire ko."
"Ha" Payal added. "Ab chalo tumhe Sanyogita se milvana hai."
"Woh mujhe janti hai."
"Woh iss hasmukhlal ko nahi janti." Payal pointed her hand at him.
"Tum log samaj kyun nahi rahe ho, Prithvi mujhe pehchaan jayega. Abhi bhi woh mujhe shaq ki nazar se dekh raha tha."
"Sanjam Phikar mat karo, Prithvi tumhe nahi pechanega, woh toh janta hi nahi ke tum yaha ho." Pundir tried to convince him.
"Aur waise bhi Hasmukhlal..... humne bahot khub sajaya hai tumhe." Arjun said rolling his eyes on Sanjam from top to bottom. Pundir and Payal giggled.
Sanjam looked down at himself and shouted "HASO MAT". They stopped laughing.
He then looked at three of them. "Dekho, Sanyogita ko leke aaisi waisi baat ki maine, toh Prithvi chodega nahi mujhe. Aur agar usne mujhpe haath uthaya toh mein usse bol dunga ke mein kaun hu."
"Bilkul nahi." said Arjun raising his hand "Chahe kuch bhi ho, tum usse apni sachhai nahi bataoge."
"Toh kya maar kha lu?"
"HA" Replied Arjun, Payal and Pundir together in a raised voice.
"Toh jab woh talwar nikalega, mein apni talwar nikalu bhi nahi."
"NAHI" Again three of them said together.
Arjun: "Tumhare ladne ke tarikese bhi Prithvi tumhe pehchaan sakta hai."
Sanjam made poor face.
Sanjam: "Phir tum log toh hoge naa waha?"
"Ho bhi sakte hai....." said Payal casually.
"Aur nahi bhi..." said Arjun looking around.
Sanjam looked at three of them "Meri parvah hi nahi hai tum logon ko."
Pundir added "Aaise socho naa Sanjam, Prithvi ke haath ki maar tumne khayi nahi hogi, to ab yeh achha mauka hai."
"Achha mauka?" Sanjam cried. "Prithvi ki ek maar mere saare daat tod degi.... Aur" Sanjam lowered his eyes "..... aur ab tak toh meri shadi bhi nahi hui."
"Toh yeh baat hai." Payal said nodding her head. "Apni phikar lagi hai tumhe."
Arjun smiled "Sanjam koi baat nahi, jaise nakli dadi-much le laye hai, waise nakli daat bhi le aayenge, Kyun Pundir?" Pundir grinned.
"Bahot hua....." saying this Sanjam angrily moved towards Arjun and Pundir "Yeh sab toh mein nahi karunga aur tum dono ko maar dalunga."
Payal came between him and Arjun, Pundir "Isse pehle tumhe humse ladna hoga."
Sanjam was already angry with her. He gave her an irritating look and said rudely "Mein ladkiyon se nahi ladta."
"Aur hum sirf ladkon se ladte hai." Payal took out her sword and held it near his neck. "Ya toh hum jo kehte hai woh karo ya phir shaheed hone ke liye tayyaar ho jao."
Sanjam could not understand what to do? He was never threatened by a girl before.
"Kya yeh pagal hai?" He asked Arjun and Pundir looking over her shoulder. Arjun giggled and nodded his head but when Payal looked back at him, he stopped and made innocent face.
Payal turned at Sanjam, pushed her sword more at him and with her nose pointing upwards said "Tumhare pass aur koi rasta nahi hai, jaldi bolo kya phaisla hai tumhara? Hamare pass waqt bahot kam hai."
Sanjam again looked at Arjun and Pundir for help. But they simply grinned looking up at the sky and started counting stars on fingers. They enjoyed the way Payal was threatening him.
Being helpless Sanjam shouted "YEH ANYAY HAI!!!!!"
Within no time the story of Prithvi and Sanyogita being tied up with the rope, near the well was spread everywhere like a wild fire. Women, men even children were discussing it, gosipping and laughing on it. Everybody was also aware that they were going to be punished and also knew the reason behind that. Pundir, Payal, Arjun and Sanjam too learned about it. This was the good news for them. Most of the people in the function fancied Prithvi and Sanyogita's pair, they somehow loved this couple and so this topic was hot the topic that night. This one incident made Sanyogita and Prithvi famous in the camp.
While moving back to his tent Prithvi faced gigglings and gossips on him by the people. He felt annoyed and at the same time guilty too. He ignored everything. He guessed directly or indirectly, Payal had a big hand in all this.
Here Sanyogita did not dare to come out of her tent. All women and girls would not leave this chance of teasing her. She attended Utsaav right from first the day and participated in every activity. So many people knew her well and even she too. There was a big misunderstanding spread about her and Prithvi and their actions proved it to others. Neither she could deny that they are husband-wife nor could she say yes. More than anything she feared about Maya maa. Maya maa should not misunderstand her, otherwise Sanyogita won't be able to explain her situation and what's happening with her. Thankfully that night Maya maa was going to sing bhajans, so she was busy in the preparations. Sanyogita asked her to get ready for that and she will prepare their dinner. And after that she decided she will make an excuse of not feeling well and won't attend the Bhajan and mehndi function that night.
Half of her mind was engaged in this worry and half was engaged in Prithvi and what he said near the well. She was was near chullah, preparing food for dinner. She was blowing air with the pipe in the fire to remove the ash particles.
"Maine tumse aur sirf tumse pyaar kiya tha, karta hu aur hamesha karta rahunga."
Why, why he always makes her think about him, forgetting everything. Each time she thought of him, she wished to meet him, see him, hear something from him, talk to him. But she should not do that. He is her father's enemy, he is Kannauj's enemy, she kept on reminding herself. She had already ended all relationships with him, then too he keeps on repeating he loves her, why?. Doesn't he know she has decided to hate him, forget him.
"Prithvi ne sabke samne hamara aapmaan kiya."
"Apmaan maine kiya ya tumhare pitaji ne nanaji ka kiya, yeh jake puchho tum apne pitajise."
"Nahi Prithvi."
"Aur tumhe lagta hai mein aaisa karunga Sanyogita? Kya itna hi jaan payi tum mujhe?"
She blowed air forcefully so that ash particles flewd and settled on her face.
"Sanyogita" Maya maa called her.
Sanyogita coughed and got up dusting her hand, head and face and slowly turned around. "Hey Bhagwan" She was scared to face her. Maya maa must have learned about her punishment by now, she thought.
"Ji maya maa." she asked scarily.
Maya maa was looking serious. "Yeh hum kya sun rahe hai?" She went two steps near her.
"Maya maa woh.....nahi... kya hua?" Sanyogita asked, crossing her fingers.
"Kya yeh saja aapko....." Sanyogita quickly shook her head "Nahi..... Maya maa....... hum woh" her worst fear confirmed.
"Maya maa....." someone else called maya maa.
Sanyogita and Maya turned around to know who called.
It was Payal, Hasmukhlal was with her.
"Kya baat hai Payal?"
They came near Maya maa and Sanyogita. It was difficult for Sanjam to walk in real Hasmukhlal's loose clothes, but he somehow managed.
"Maya maa woh hum aapko yeh batane aaye ki, saja inhe mili hai." Payal pointed at Sanjam.
Sanjam nodded his head "Ji, mein Has.. nahi... sanj..... nahi Lakshman."
"Toh kya woh Lakshman aap hai, jo ....."
"Ha, bandhe toh hum hi the." Sanjam said quickly "par inke saath nahi, hamari patni ke saath. He he he." He blushed .
Maya maa and Sanyogita looked at each other.
"Humne sanyogita naam suna isliye....."
"Ha toh, hamare patni ka naam bhi toh Sanyogita hai..... he he he.."
Payal raised her eyebrows at Sanjam and asked him not to laugh.
"Appko koi galat faimi naa ho, isliye hum yaha chale aaye..... aaaaa.. maya maa." said Sanjam looking at Payal to confirm that dialogues what she asked him to say were correct. She did not look at him and smiled widely at maya maa and Sanyogita.
"Hum aapko bata de hum ke aaise nahi hai." Maya maa said to Hasmukhlal.
Sanjam folded his hands and nodded his head as if he was listening pravachan, though he was least interested in knowing how Maya Maa is?
Maya maa then turned towards Sanyogita and said "Kisi bhi natije pe pohchne se pehle hum har taraf se baat jaan lete hai. Isliye toh hum sidhe aapke pass chale aaye, sachaai janane."
"Ji??" Sanyogita got confused.
Maya maa smiled "Yaha kisise bhi jyada hum aappe bharosa karte hai, aap hamari apni jo hai."
Sanyogita smiled nervously and put her head down. Now Maya maa had put her in worse situation. She showed lot of confidence in Sanyogita.
Maya maa looked at Sanjam with serious expressions.
"He he he....." He quickly unfolded his hands and again laughed nervously, he forgot his next dialogue.
"Yaha Santoshi maa ka utsaav hai, ab yeh baat aapko samaj mein aayi hogi."
"Ha aa gayi....." He got confused "Toh?" He asked innocently, flickering his eyes.
It appeared that Maya maa did not like his behaviour. "Toh?? Aaise sabke samne apne patni ..... "
"Aaaaa.... Maya maa......" Payal said "Aaj aap bhi bhajan gaane wali ho naa?" Before maya maa started her lecture, Payal distracted her.
"Ha.....ha ... hum chalte hai. Hume bahut tayyari bhi karni hai..... aap dono khana kha ke aa jana."
"Ji maya maa, hum aa jayenge." Payal moved aside showing her the way to go.
Maya maa glanced at Sanjam with disgust look on her face and left.
"He he he..." Sanjam turned as she left. For no sin of his, he has to face such disgusting looks from others. He casted an angry look at Payal because she was responsible for this.
Sanyogita relaxed and looking at Sanjam said "Suniye aap..... aaa.. Lakshmanji....."
Sanjam looked at her and adjusted his turban. "He he he, hamara asli naam Hasmukhlal hai.....rajkumari Sanyogita." he said.
Sanyogita was shocked. "A...a..aapko.. kaise pata ke hum rajkumari hai?"
"Isne bataya." Sanjam pointed at Payal.
"Kya?" Sanyogita cried.
"Kya? nahi?" Payal shook her head.
Sanjam: "Kya nahi, nahi mera matlab hai ke isne bataya ke aap yaha ho. Waise aapko toh hum dekhte hi pehchaan gaye the ke aap Kannauj ki rajkumari Sanyogita ho."
Sanyogita went near him. "Par Kaise?"
Sanjam moved two steps back. He again looked at Payal and said
"Hum-aapke-pitaji-ke-ache-dost-hai-Aap-choti-thi-tab-hamare- yaha-aati-thi." Sanjam said in plain tone looking at Payal. He then looked at Sanyogita. "Yaad hai naa aapko, hum Hasmukhlal."
Sanyogita: "Hasmukhlal? Hume toh aaisa kuch yaad nahi."
"Ek-baar-Aashram-mein-aap-bimar-ho-gayi-thi-aur-aapne-nani-s e-milne-ki-jid-kar-baithi-thi."
Sanyogita: "Nani??"
Payal: "Aaaa inka matlab hai tumhari dadi ma, hai naa?" She smiled artificially at Sanjam.
Sanjam: "Ha wohi."
Sanyogita: "Aapko kaise pata?"
"Isne bataya." Sanjam again pointed at Payal.
"Kya?" Sanyogita cried.
"Kya? nahi?" Payal again shook her head.
Sanjam: "Kya nahi nahi, Matlab, isne baytaya nahi tumhe, hum tumhare pitaji ke saath tumse milne aaye the."
"Phir Maya maa aapko kaise nahi janti?"
"Kya? Woh hume nahi janti, kyun?" Sanjam looked at Payal for answer.
"Sanyogita, yeh aur tumhare pitaji sirf kuh pal ke liye aashram aaye the aur tab Maya maa aashram mein nahi thi..... ha"
Sanyogita: "Par humne toh aapko kabhi aashram mein nahi dekha?"
Sanjam: "Achha toh nahi dekha hoga."
Sanyogita stared at him.
Payal: "Tum bahot sawal puchti ho Sanyogita?" said Payal getting nervous. "Inka matlab hai ke tum behosh thi naa, toh tumne kaise dekha hoga inhe, par humne dekha hai... ha."
She angrily looked at Sanjam for messing the things. Sanjam too reacted in the same way. He was equally angry on her.
Sanyogita: "Toh Kya aapki patni ka naam bhi Sanyogita hai?"
Sanjam turned at her "Meri Patni?? Kaun?"
Sanyogita looked at him suspiciously. She folded her hands and said angrily "Aap abhi abhi maya maa se kya keh rahe the?"
Payal quickly went near her and keeping hand on her shoulder said "Nahi Sanyogita, tumhe pata kaise nahi, inki shadi kaha hui hai. Inhone toh jhut bolke maya maa se tumhe bachaya."
Sanajm: "Ha." He moved hand on his mustache.
Sanyogita unfolded her hands and looking at Sanjam said in a calm down tone "Appka Shukriya."
Sanjam: "Koi baat nahi, ab hum chalte hai."
"Aap kaha ja rahe ho?" Payal went near him and whispered "Tumhe aur bhi kuch kehna hai, bhulo mat."
Sanjam: "Ab ho gaya naa, ab kya?"
Payal: "Sanyogita yaha kaise?"
Sanjam: "Mujhe kya pata?"
Payal: "Hey bhagwan!! yeh puchho usase."
Sanjam turned towards Sanyogita "Sanyogita yaha kaise?"
Sanyogita looked from Payal to Sanjam "Ji?"
Payal: "Hasmukhlalji tumse yeh puch rahe hai ke tum yaha kaise?"
Sanyogita: "Ji??"
"He he he..... Humara matlab hai ke Maharaj Jaichand ne toh humse kaha tha ke aap aashram mein ho."
"Hasmukhlalji hum yaha Santoshi maa ke utsaav mein shamil hone aaye hai." Sanyogita answered nervously.
"Achha" Sanjam curled his moustache "Matlab Maharaj Jaichand ko yeh baat pata hi nahi hai toh..... he he he."
He moved his hand on his beard. It came out. Luckily Sanyogita was looking somewhere else. Payal quickly moved between them and heled him to make it right.
"Ha, woh hum jab..... aap " Sanyogita turned towards Sanjam. She feared that Hasmukhlal might tell this to her father.
"Aap phikar mat karna rajkumari, hum aapke pitaji ko kuch nahi batayenge."
"Aapka bahot bahot shukriya, Hasmukhlalji." said Sanyogita feeling relaxed.
"Usme shukriya kehne ki koi baat nahi, hume apna dost hi samjho."
Sanyogita smirked "Ji"
"Achha toh ab hum chalte hai." said Sanjam and quickly started moving out. Payal turned back around at him, and saw Prithvi, Arjun and Pundir coming out of their tent.
She ran forward and came in front of Sanjam.
Sanjam shuddred and being irritate asked "Ab kya hai?"
Payal: "Aapko bhuk lagi hai naa, Hasmukhlalji, yahi bhojan kar lijiye, Kyun Sanyogita?"
She looked at Sanyogita and then turned at Prithvi to make sure he was still out.
Sanyogita: "Ha Khana khake jayiye."
Prithvi, Arjun and Pundir came out of their tent to have dinner. Naturally Prithvi glanced once at Sanyogita's tent and to his surprise he saw Hasmukhlal there.
"Yeh Hasmukhlal waha kya kar raha hai?" saying this he started moving there.
"Iski itni himmat!!! Maine isse kaha tha Sanyogita ke aaju baju bhi dikhai mat dena."
Sanjam: "Nahi mujhe bhuk nahi hai."
Payal clenched her teeth and said in a threatening manner "Aapko bhuk lagi hai."
Sanjam: "Ab mujhe pata hoga naa, mujhe bhuk lagi hai ya nahi?"
"Aapko bhuk lagi hai." Payal repeated stubbornly.
"Prithvi kaha ja rahe ho? Ruk jao." Pundir went near him "Woh Hasmukhlal toh rajkumari Sanyogita ke achhe dost hai." he said.
"Kya?" Prithvi stopped and turned back at Pundir. "Tumhe kaise pata?"
"Payal ne bataya ke woh bachpan ke achhe dost hai."
"Bachpan ke dost?" Prithvi raised his eyebrows and turned at Sanjam. "Yeh Seetapur ka sarpanch, Kannauj ke rajkumari ka accha dost kabse ban gaya?"
"Kyun kya yeh ho nahi sakta?" Pundir replied.
"Par, kya Hasmukhlal ki umar kuch jyada badi nahi lag rahi?"
Arjun came forward and said "Ha, ab hai kya kare? Dosti umar dekhke toh nahi hoti naa ..... woh kehte hai naa..... Ram milaye jodi."
Prithvi sharply turned at him.
"Aaaaa..... mera matlab hai..... Ram ..... Ram banaye..... dosti."
Prithvi kept quite and turned in Sanyogita's direction. He did not like Hasmukhlal roaming around her and not after he had learned that Hasmukhlal likes her.
"Mujhe bhuk nahi hai. Maine abhi khana khaya,... tumhe kam samaj mein ata hai kya?" Sanjam whispered slowly, so that Sanyogita won't hear.
"Aur tumhe kuch bhi samaj mein nahi aata. Thoda khalo...... kuch bigdega nahi tumhara."
"Ajib jabardasti hai!!!"
Sanyogita came near them "Kya hua?"
"Kuch nahi" Payal and Sanjam said together.
"Phir chaliye bhojan kar lete hai." saying this Sanyogita went inside the tent.
"Par tum itne pareshaan kyun dikh rahe ho Prithvi?" asked Pundir
"Tum nahi jante Pundir woh Hasmukhlal, Sanyogita ke bare mein mujhse kaisi baatein kar raha tha? Mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi hai."
"Par ab tumhe isse kya pharak padta hai? Tum kyun pareshaan ho rahe ho?" asked Arjun and smirked at Pundir.
"Kyun pareshaan ho rahe hu matlab? woh Hasmukhlal....."
"Prithvi weh dost hai, kuch hua hoga."
"Dost? Woh Hasmukhlal, Sanyogita ka shayad.... subah se pichha kar raha hai. Mujhe puch raha tha ..."
"Prithvi, shayad usse pasand nahi hoga tumhara Sanyogita se baat karna."
"Woh hota kaun hai pasand naa pasand karne wala?" Prithvi shouted.
"Par Prithvi tum Sanyogita se kyun baat karne jaate ho? Tumne toh tay kiya hai naa..."
"Ha Pundir, par......, kal se sab kuch aaise ho raha hai ke meri usase baat ho hi jaati hai. Khair, par ab nahi karunga."
"Dekhte hai." said Arjun naughtily.
"Kya kaha?" Prithvi looked at him.
"Nahi kuch nahi."
Prithvi did not pay attention to Arjun. He was staring at Sanjam.
"Mein ja raha hu." Sanjam turned and started moving. He saw Prithvi staring him. He stopped and quickly turned around. "Dekha woh Prithvi kaise dekh raha hai mujhe."
Payal looked in Prithvi's direction and smiled "Yehi toh maja hai."
"Maja? kisi bhi waqt woh mujhpe hamla bol dega. Aur tum logone toh keh diya, usase ladna bhi nahi varna woh mujhe pehchaan jayega."
Sanyogita came out.
"Ab bas bhi karo." said Payal "Dekho Sanyogita aa rahi hai, suno jab woh khana parosegi tab jor se kehna ke, Khana hamesha ki tarah achha bana hai Sanyogita."
Sanjam: "Taki woh Prithvi sun sake?"
Payal: "Ha."
Sanjam: "Maine kya bigada hai tumhara?"
"Woh-hume-badi-acchhi-lagi" Hasmukhlal's words echoed in Prithvi's ear. He was having dinner with Arjun and Pundir sitting on the ground backside of his tent. He wondered why Hasmukhlal said such things to him? What Hasmukhlal is upto? If they were childhood then why was he asking him about her.
Prithvi raised his hand and was about to eat when he heard Hasmukhlal shouting with pauses "Khana achha bana hai........, hamesha ki tarah......, Sanyogita........"
"Yeh chilla kyun raha hai?" Prithvi felt irritate.
Pundir and Arjun giggled.
"Chodo usse tum khana khalo Prithvi." said Pundir giggling.
Prithvi was not able to eat properly. He somehow finished it.
"Sanyogita par tum waha kyun nahi aa rahi ho, Maya maa ke bhajan toh tumhe bahot pasand hai." Payal asked Sanyogita when she refused to go with her and Hasmukhlal to attend Bhajans.
"Nahi, hamara maan nahi kar raha hai."
"Tumhe aana toh padega, varna sab log tumhe waha le hi aayenge, saja jo deni hai tumhe." Payal giggled.
"Humne kuch nahi kiya Payal." Said Sanyogita with guilty expressions "Yeh sab tumhare Ishu aur Karan ne kiya hai." She was somewhat angry on them.
"Thik hai, achhi baat hai, mat aao, Lakshman ke saath saja hum kha lenge." Payal winked at her. "Aur usase mehndi bhi lagavayenge....hai" said Payal making dreamy face and moving her right hand on her left.
Sanyogita was convinced that Prithvi has no interest in her, but she did not like and cannot tolerate, any other girl enjoying Prithvi's attention.
"Chalo jaldi, aaj sab bhajan ke liye ikhatta hue hai, hume bhi jana chahiye." Arjun said washing his hands.
"Tum log waha aa rahe ho?"
Prithvi did not wish his friends to be there when he will undergo punishment. Otherwise they won't leave this chance of pulling his legs and that too in front of Sanyogita. But he can't stop them.
"Mein nahi aa raha hu, tum log jao." He decided to avoid that.
Arjun smirked and raising his eyebrows asked "Phir uss saja ka kya?"
"Keh dunga mujhe aur jaruri kaam hai, saja phir kabhi."
"Thik hai jaisi tumhari marji, hum chale jate hai." Said pundir.
"Ha" Arjun said smiling "Pundir ko toh waha ab jaldi jana hai. Payal jo hogi waha, Sanyogita aur Hasmukhlal ke saath."
Pundir controlled his blushing and looked at Arjun, with serious face. Arjun winked at him.
"Hasmukhlal bhi??" Prithvi asked.
Sanyogita: "Tum Prit.. Lakshman ko akela kyun nahi chod deti?"
Payal: "Ab mein tumhe kya batau?"
Sanyogita: "Kya matlab?"
Payal: "Chhodo tum nahi samjhogi."
Sanyogita: "Kya matlab nahi samjhungi?"
Payal made face at her and turned at Sanjam who started yawning by hearing their arguments. "Chaliye Hasmukhlalji hum chalte hai. Isse yehi rehne do."
Sanjam: "Ha chalo." He was waiting for an opportunity to go away.
"Achha Prithvi hum chalte hai."
"Ruko mein bhi aa raha hu."
"Achha Sanyogita hum chalte hai."
"Ruko hum bhi aa rahe hai."
