“kya hua? Kaise hua ye sab?” teeno mujhse pooch rahe the. Maine rote huye poori ghatna unko suna di.
“ Daaaam……Daamle……” mai isse age aur kuchh nahi bol payee. Mai buri tarah roye ja rahi thi.
“ Haan…haaannn….. kya hua? Kya kiya Damle ne?’ Ratan mujhse poochhe jar aha tha.
“ Maine aap se kitni baar kaha tha ki us gunde….us haramjade Damle ki neeyat theek nahi hai. Magar aap ne nahi mana. Dekh lo aaj mai gangrape se bach kar a rahi hoon.”
Ratan ko gussa a gaya aur wo seedha thane ja kar unke khilaf rapat likha aya.
Magar huya kya. Agle din humne dekha ki thanedaar ki mahfil Damle ke saath jami hai. Sab ek dhabe ke bahar baithe sharab pee rahe hain. Ye sab Ratan ne dekha. Ratan ko dekhte hi Damle ne muskura kar kaha, “ kise rapat likhwaega Bhonsle ko?
Abe bhadwe Bhonsle mera pakka yaar hai yaar kya samjhe. Agar jyada uchhal kood ki to basti me jeena haram kar doonga.”
Uski dhamki sun kar Ratan dar kar chup chaap ghar chala aya. Usne agle din thane jakar apni shikayat kharij kar di. Aur hum sabko hidayat di ki hum uske khilaaf koi shikayat na Karen. Balki jitna ho sake apne ko bacha kar rakhen.
Agle do hafte saab theek chalta raha. Dheere dheere Damle ke bartaw me badlav dikha. Hum bhi kuchh ashwast hone lage. Wo Ratan ko bula kar uske saath baten karta aur meri or bhool kar bhi ankhen utha kar nahi dekhta. Hume samajh me nahi a raha tha usme achanak aye is tarah ke bartaw ki wajah kyat hi.
Maine kai baar Ratan ko Damle ki taraf se sawdhan rahne ki hidayat di lekin maine dekha ki mera kaha jyada asar nahi chhod pa raha hai. Saanp apne jahareele daant kitne din tak chhipa kar rakh sakta hai. Bahut jaldi hi uski asliyat samne a gayee.
Do Hafte baad ayee holi. Mai to pahle se hi kuchh shankit thi. Magar Ratan poori tarah Damle ki taraf se ashwast tha. Us din subah savere Damle akar Ratan ko bula kar le gaya. Ghante bhar jab wo wapas aye to Ratan nashe me dhut tha. Wo ladkhadate huye ghar lauta. Peechhe peechhe Damle ki poori toli thi. Wo sab halla karte aur nachte huye sath chal rahe the. Kuchh kuchh der baad “bura na mano holi hai” ki awajen laga rahe the. Ratan unke beech ladkhadate kadmo se chal raha tha.
Mai darwaja nahi kholna chahti thi. Saas sasur ne bhi mujhe darwaja kholne se mana kar diya. Magar Ratan ko darwaje par ludhakte dekh kar mai apne aap ko nahi rok saki. Maine darwaja khol diya aur Ratan ko samhalne ki koshish karne lagi.
“ Kya hua?..... aaap…?” mai unhe samhal rahi thi.
“ Isne kuchh jyada chadha li.” Damle gandi hansi hansta huya bola. Maine jhatak kar gusse se jalti nigahon se use dekha. Magar us par mere gusse ka koi asar nahi pada tha.
“Bhabhi ji aisi bhi kya narajgi hai hum dewaron se. Aaj to dushman bhi gale milte hain fir hum to apke dewar thahre. Humse holi nahi khelogi.”
“ Dekho mujhe ye sab pasand nahi hai. Mujhe haath bhi mat lagana.” Maine unko jhidakte huye kaha. Magar kisi daant ya jhidki ka asar to admiyon par hota hai wo to poore janwar the janwar.
“ Are apni bhabhi to naraj ho rahi hai. Hum to apni sundar bhabhi se holi khelne aye hai aur ye hume aise dutkar rahi hai mano hum gali ke kutte hon. Are thaam to jara ise. Aaj agar iske saath holi nahi kheli to lanat hai aisi dadagiri se.” Damle mere virodh se naraj ho gaya tha.
Ek ne mujhe peechhe se pakad kar jameen se utha liya aur ghar ke andar le aye. Fir wo admi mujhe peechhe se pakad kar khada ho gaya. Meri dono banhen usne apne bajuon se tham rakhi thi jisse meri or se koi galat harkat na ho sake. Meri sari ka pallu mere seene par se hat kar jameen par lot raha tha. Mai blouse me apne mote mote urojon ko chhipaye khadi thi.
Damle hanste huye tasalli se chalta hua mere samne aya. Usne apni jeb se ek bottle nikali aur usme se laal gadha rang nikal kar apne dono hathon par mala.
“ Is laal rang me tera roop aur khil uthega.”
Mai chupchap uski harkaton ko dekh rahi thi. Mere saas sasur mere saath hoti ye jabardasti dar se chupchaap khade dekh rahe the. Mere sasur ne ek baar unka virodh kiya to ek ne jeb se ek lamba sa chaku nikal liya. Jise dekh kar mere sasur je ne apne honth see liye. Mere pati dev mere paas jameen par baithe mujhe tukar tukar dekh rahe the. Nashe ki adhikta ki wajah se unka dimaag kaam nahi kar raha tha aur agar kaam bhi kar raha ho to bhi unka jism saath nahi de raha tha.
Damle ne saamne akar apne dono hathon me laal rang ko achchhi tarah mala fir mujhe apni dono hatheliyan khol kar dikhaya. Fir usne mere ek gaal par apne honth rakh kar ek baar chooma fir apne range huye haathon se mere poore chehre ko achchhe se rang diya. Sab hans rahe the. Mai kasmasa rahi thi. Mera poora chehra laal ho gaya tha.
Fir usne apne dono hathon ko wapas rang kar mere dono hathon ko ranga.
“kya chikna maal hai yaron. Aisa lag raha kisi makkhan ki dali par hath fira raha hoon. Ratan tu sala bahut kismet wala hai.” Kahkar wo mere nange chikne pet par rang lagane laga. Poore pet par apne khurdure haathon ko fer raha tha. Jab pet poora rang diya to meri peeth ki bari ayee. Mera jo jo ang kapdon se bahar tha sabko usne lal rang me rang diya. Mai peechhe wale admi ki pakad me machal rahi thi. Magar uske bandhan se apne aapko chhudna mushkil lag raha tha.
“ bahut dino se ichchha thi ki tere saath mai dewar bhabhi wali holi kheloon magar mauka hi nahi mil raha tha. Aaj mai apne man ki karke hi rahoonga. Oye Kareem, kas ke pakad kar rakh saali ko. Bahut nakhre dikha rahi hai aaj to iske saath jam kar holi khelenge. Fir wo ajke baad kabhi hume pyaar karne se nahi roka karegi. ” Maine apne aap ko bachane ke liye us admi ki giraft me ek akhiri koshish ki magar mera jism uski banhon me machal kar hi rah gaya.
“Abe Ratan teri biwi badi kateeli cheej hai. Ufff kahan se laya hai re ise uthakar?”usne Ratan ki or dekh kar bhaddi tarah se ankh mari. Mere sasur ji ne mujhe bachane ke liye Damle par jhapte magar unhe beech me hi thaam liya gaya.
Do admiyon ne unhe thaam kar pahle ghoonso aur laaton se unko mara fir jab wo nidhal ho gaye to paas padi ek kursi par dhakka diya. Sasurji ladkhada kar kursi par gir gaye. Tabhi ek admi kahin se ek nylon ki rassi dhoondh laya. Un logon ne saas aur sasur ko kursiyon par bitha kar unke haath pair baandh diye.
Uske baad rattan ke haath pair bhi apas me baandh diye. Unke munh me kapde thoons diye jisse wo chilla nahi saken. Mai unka maksad samajh kar chhootne ke liye chhatpata rahi thi magar mujhe us admin e itni buri tarah jakad rakha tha ki meri ek nahi chal rahi thi.
Mai samajh gayee thi ki aaj mera inke hathon se bach pana na mumkin tha.
To be contd......
