Vasl e Yaar

Chapter 3

Woh seeriyon se neeche utri hee thi jab uss ki nazar Naima khala pe parri. Woh bhaagti hui unke galle se jaa lagi. Naima khala ne uss ko apne gird lapait liya. Maa ki yeh shafqat mehsoos hote hee Anabia ka chehra ek baar phir ashkon se bheeg gaya.
"Bas meri bachi! Teri khala tujhe ab kuch nahi hone degi."
Yeh keh ke unhone uss ke maathe pe pyaar kiya aur uss ko khud se alag kiya. Uss ke chehre ko apne haathon ke pyaale mei leke Naima ne uss ke aansu saaf kiye. Asfand kuch peeche, haath seene pe bandhe kharra, yeh manzar dekh raha tha jab uss ki aankh se ek aansu tapak ke uss ke chehre pe girra. Jiss ko uss ne kisi ke dekhne se pehle saaf kar kiya.
"Chal mera beta, ab tu kapre badal aur jaa ke Aliya ke saath so jaa."
Naima ne apne aansu saaf karte hue Anabia se kaha, phir peeche kharri Aliya se mukhatib huin.
"Aliya, Bia ko apna koi suit de de aur apne kamre mei uss ki jagah bana."
"Jee maa."
Aliya farmabardari se saar jhukati apni maa ke kahe gaye kaam karne uthi.
Anabia ne sarr murr ke peeche dekha toh Asfand seeriyon ke paas hee kharra tha. Ek shawl apne gird lapaite, kaale shalwar kameez mei ek muskurahat chehre pe sajaye, woh bohat pyaara lag raha tha. Anabia ne nazrei jhukka lin jab usse Aliya ki awaaz aayi.
"Yeh lo Bia. Jaa ke badal lo. Main kamre mei tumhara intezaar karungi."
Aliya ne ek muskurahat ke saath Anabia ko apna ek saada shalwar kameez thamaya, aur apne kamre mei chali gayi. Anabia ek nazar Asfand pe daalti, bathroom mei ghuss gayi. Asfand sehen mei maujood ek chaarpaayi pe jaa baitha aur Anabia ka intezaar karne laga.
Zara dair baad bathroom ka darwaza khula, ayr Anabia baahir nikli. Dupatta chehre ke gird aise bandhe jaise namaz parhne lagi ho. Chehre pe paani ki kuch boondei ab bhi maujood thi. Bathroom ka darwaza band karti, woh Asfand je paas aayi. Uss ke aain saamne aa ke, uss se nazrei milaye, woh zara sa jhukki. Uss ke chehre pe maujood paani ki boondei, sehen mei hoti halki roshni ki wajah se moti ban ke chamak rahi thin. Asfand uss ki aankhon mei jhaank raha tha magar saath hee saath uss ki har harkat se bhi waqif tha. Anabia ne Asfand ke barabar parri jayenamaz uthayi, aur uss se door khisak gayi.
Woh jayenamaz bicha hee rahi thi jab peeche se ek sargoshi sunayi di.
"Raat ke do baje aap kon si namaz ada kar rahi hain?"
Uss ne peech murr ke dekha toh Asfand uss se kuch hee kadam ke faasle pe, haath kamar pe bandhe, kharra tha.
"Shukarne ki."
Yeh keh ke woh halka sa muskurayi aur wapis jayenamaz ki taraf ghoom gayi.
..................
Apne dono haath chehre pe phair ke uss ne apni daayei taraf dekha toh Asfand uss ke barabar mei baitha uss ko hee dekh raha tha.
"Kya maaga?"
Asfand ne poocha. Anabia ne namsamjhi ke andaaz mei uss ko dekha.
"Dua mei kya maanga?"
Asfand ne wazahat di.
"Duaei sirf kuch maangne ke liye thori hoti hain. Kabhi kabhi shukar ada karne keliye bhi hoti hain!"
Anabia ne muskura ke jawaab diya.
"Toh kis cheez ka shukar ada kiya?"
Asfand ne ghaur se uss ka chehra dekha.
"Cheez ka nahi, insaan ka!"
"Kis insaan ka?"
Asfand ab bechain ho raha tha.
"Uss insaan ka, jiss ko meri takleef se takleef hoti hai."
Asfand uss ko ghaur se dikhta gaya.
"Jab main khala ke gale lag ke royi thi, toh ek aansu aap ki aankh se bhi nikla tha, jiss ko aap ne kisi ke dekhne se pehle saaf kar liya."
Anabia ne Asfand ko hairaan kar diya tha.
"Tumhe kaisay pata?"
Asfand ne bhanve uchkate hue poocha.
"Kyunki woh aansu aap ki aankh se nikal ke mere dil pe girra tha!"
...................
Namaz ki adayegi ke baad, ab woh sehen pe maujood chaarpaayi pe baithi thi. Apne choti mei bandhe baal ek kandhe pe daale, unhe khol rahi thi. Uss ke peeche ek laltain rakhi thi jiss ki madham roshni sehen ko roshan kiye hue thi.
Apne khayalon mei gumm, apni ungliyan baalon mei phair rahi thi jab usse apna dupatta khinchta hua mehsoos hua. Murr ke dekha toh Asfand uss ke peeche baitha, uss ke dupatte ke ek pallu ko apne haath ke gird lapait raha tha. Uss ke chehra morne par, Asfand ka dupatta lapaitta haath ruka, aur uss ne nazrei utha kar Anabia ko dekha. Laltain ki uss dheeme roshni mei dono ki aankhei chamak rahi thi. Dono bin kuch kahe, bohat si baatei kar gaye the. Ek doosre ki aankhon mei doobe hue hee the jab peeche se Aliya ki awaaz sunayi di. Uss ki awaaz pe Anabia harbarra kar uthi lekin Asfand ki giraft uss ke dupatte par halki na hui. Woh apna dupatta churwane ki koshish karti rahi lekin nakaam rahi. Asfand ne uss ka pallu halka sa khench ke uss ko dobarra apne barabar mei bitha liya. Ussi waqt Aliya sehen mei daakhil hui.
"Yeh sab kya ho raha hai yahan?"
Unhone sakhti se poocha.
"Aap ki nazrei kamzor hogayin hain aapa! Dekh nahi rahi? Mohabbat ho rahi hai yahan."
Asfand ne Anabia ki aankhon se nazrei hataye baghair, itmenaan se Aliya ko jawaab diya.
"Asfi! Pagal ho gaye ho tum?"
Unhone beyakeeni se apne chote bhai ko dekha.
"Mohabbat mei log aksar pagal hee ho jaate hain."
Nazrei ab bhi Anabia pe tikaaye, uss ne jawaab diya.
"Asfi yeh sab kabhi nahi ho sakta!"
Iss baar Aliya ki awaaz mei gussa tha.
"Kon nahi hone dega aap?"
Asfand ki aankhei apni behen se mili.
"Khalu nahi hone dega? Uss ko toh ek bottle sharab ke naad apna naam tak yaad nahi rehta. Khala aur maa waise hee meri kisi baat ko nahi taalte. Aur iss ka veer?"
Asfand ne nazron se Anabia ki taraf ishaara kiya.
"Toh jo shakhs aurat ki izzat nahi kar sakta, uss ko aurat pe koi haq bhi nahi hai! Aur phir rahi baat aap ki, toh jab larka larki raazi toh kya karega qaazi? Ab aap qaazi ban ke humari mohabbat mei dakhal mat dein, aur humei ek doosre ki aankhon mei kho jaane dein!"
Yeh keh ke Asfand dobara Anabia ki taraf motawajah hogaya jo ab sarr jhukaye baithi thi.
"Asfi, yeh sab sahi nahi ho raha!"
"Aapa! Kyun peeche parr gayin hain aap humari mohabbat ke?"
Asfand ne chirrte hue kaha.
"ASFI!!"
Chhat ke uss paar se Adil ki awaaz aayi. Awaaz sunte hee Anabia ke chehre ka rang urr gaya. Asfand ne uss ka chehre apne haathon ke pyaale mei liya aur narmi se uss ke gaal apne anghoote se sehlaaye.
"Tum aapa ke saath kamre mei jaao, aur fikar na karo. Tumhara Asfi hai na! Tumhara muhaafiz! Tumhe kuch nahi hone dega woh!"
Uss ki narm awaaz pe Anabia ne sarr han mei hilaya. Asfand ab Aliya ki taraf mukhatib hua aur sanjeedgi se bola.
"Bia ko kamre mei le jaayei aur darwaza andar se band kar lein! Ghar ka darwaza bhi mat kholiyega chahe koi bhi aaye. Main aaounga toh awaaz laga dunga. Apna aur iss ka khayal rakhiyega! Meri ghair maujoodgi mei, meri Bia aap ke paas meri amanat hai!"
