Vasl e Yaar

Chapter 5

Do hafte baad, Asfand apni maa ke kamre mei baitha Naima ki taangei daba raha tha, jab Anabia kamre mei daakhil hui. Uss ke haath mei chai ki ek pyaali thi jo uss ne bistar ke baranar maujood table pe tika di.
"Khala aap ki chai!"
Uss ne muskura ke kaha.
"Aap mere liye chai nahi laayin?"
Asfand ne chhairrne wale andaaz mei poocha.
"Aap bhi piyenge?"
Anabia me masoomiyat se poocha.
"Aap pilayengi toh zaroor piyunga!"
Asfand ka andaaz abhi bhi shararat se bharpoor tha.
"Abhi laati hu!"
Yeh keh ke Anabia kamre se bhaag gayi.
Naima ne apne bete ki taraf muskura ke dekha, jo apni muskurahat dabaye apni maa ki taangei daba raha tha.
"Kyun chhairrte ho uss ko itna?"
Naima ne halki si narazi se poocha.
"Main kahan chhairrta hu maa? Main toh bas mohabbat karta hu! Ab woh meri mohabbat se chhirr jaati hai toh iss mei mera kya kasoor!"
Asfand ne kandhe uchakte hue kaha.
Naima kuch lamhe uss ko dekhti rahin, phir bolin.
"Asfi!"
"Jii?"
"Nikaah kar lo uss se!"
Asfand ke taangei dabat haath ruke. Kuch seconds baad dobara apna kaam karte hue, Asfand me apna jawaab diya.
"Abhi nahi maa."
"Kyun beta?"
Asfand ke iss jawaab pe Naima ka mu utar gaya.
"Woh abhi bohat choti hai maa! Aur main bhi!"
Asfand ne apni maa ki taraf dekha.
"Waise bhi woh ek shaadi se bhaag ke yahan aayi thi. Ab yahan tum log uss ki shaadi mujh se kara doge, toh uss ke yahan aane ka faida kya hua? Kam se kam uss ko parhne toh do! Aur mujhe bhi do saal toh do ke main apni degree mukammal kar ke koi nokri kar saku. Uss se shaadi karu toh uss ki zimmedari toh utha saku!"
Kisi barre, samajhdaar shakhs ki tarah, Asfand ne apni baat saamne rakh di.
"Par Asfi, agar itne waqt mei kuch aur ho gaya toh?"
Naima ne khaufzada ho ke poocha.
"Kuch nahi hoga maa! Main hu na! Apni Bia ki hifazat karna jaanta hu, aakhiri saans tak uss ki hifazat karunga! Aur fikar na kar maa, jiss din woh baarveeh (12) ka imtehaan deke aayegi na, ussi din uss ke ghar mei kadam rakhne se pehle maulvi ko bulwake uss se teen baar 'qubool hai' bulwaounga! Yeh mera waada hai tumse."
Apni nazrei darwaze ki jaanib morte hue Asfand me zara unchi awaaz mei kaha.
"Aur uss se bhi jo darwaze ke uss paar kharri yeh sab baatei sun rahi hai!"
Darwaze ke peeche kharri Anabia, Asfand ki awaaz pe deewar se lag ke kharri hogayi. Dabbe kadmon, Asfand kamre se nikaal ke baahir aaya, toh uss ko apne saamne kharra paya. Nazrei jhuka ke, chai ki pyaali haath mei pakre woh kharri thi. Asfand muskura ke neeche ko jhuka, ke unn dono ke chehre aamne saamne aa gye.
"Chhup ke kisi ki baatei sunna galat baat hoti hai muhtarma!"
Asfand me sargoshi mei kaha. Anabiya ke pehle se laal hote gaal, mazeed laal hogye.
"Meri taraf dekho!"
Asfand ne farmaish ki, ya hukam diya. Haule haule nazrei uthaye, Anabia ne Asfand ki aankho mei jhaanka. Shehad rang aankhei, gehri bhoori aankhon se mili aur duniya mei unn do roohon ke siwa sab gayab sa hogaya.
Dono ek doosre ki aankhon mei doobe hue the jab ghar ka darwaza zorr se khola aur Adil andar daakhil hua.
"ASFANDIYAR REHMAN!!"
Adil ki ghusse se bharri awaaz ne poore ghar mei chhayi khamoshi ko lamhe bharr mei khatam kar diya.
"Veer aagaya!"
Anabia ne Asfand se halki awaaz mei kaha. Asfand ne apna baazu Anabia ki gardan ke neeche wale hisse pe rakh ke, uss ko apne peeche kiya. Adil ki awaaz pe kitchen se nikal ke Aliya bhi baahir aagyi.
"Aapa, iss ko leke andar jaao."
Asfand ne Aliya se kaha. Aliya bhaagti hui Asfand ke kareeb aayi aur uss ke peeche chhupi Anabia ko pakar ke kamre mei le gayi.
..................
Kuch der baad, kamre ka darwaza khula aur Asfand andar daakhil hua. Uss ki nazar bistar ke kone pe baithi Anabia pe parri, jiss ke gaal aur naak musalsal rone ki wajah se laal ho chuke the. Darwaze ki aahat pe Anabia ne nazrei utha ke dekha aur Asfand ko kharra paa kar uss ki taraf lapki.
"Veer mujhe le jaane aaya hai na?? Woh mujhe le jaayega yahan se? Main nahi jaana chahti! Woh meri shaadi kara dega!"
Woh rote rote kahe jaa rahi thi, jab Asfand me usske gird apne baazu haaeil kiye aur uss ko apne seene se laga liya. Woh uss ke baalon ko ahista ahista sehla raha tha.
"Bia, mere hote hue kuch nahi ho sakta tumhe! Maine kaha hai na, main hifazat karunga tumhari!"
Asfand ne uss ke sarr ko chuma.
"Koi tumhe kahin nahi leke jaa raha! Mere hote hue toh bilkul bhi nahi!"
Aliya aur Naima, Asfand ko uljhe hue andaaz mei dekh rahi thin. Asfand ne unhe dekh ke plake jhapkayi, jaisay keh raha ho ke baad mei baat karega unn se.
.................
Raat ke das baj rahe the, jab Naima aur Aliya, Asfand ke kamre mei daakhil huin. Asfand apne bistar pe aankhei band kiye laita tha.
"Asfi!"
Naima ne mohabbat se pukara, toh uss ne aankhei kholi. Apni maa ko saamne baitha dekh ke woh uth baitha, aur Naima uss ke saamne bistar pe tikk gayin.
"Ab batao beta, kya hua tha baahir?"
Asfand ne ek gehri saans bharri.
"Woh uss ko le jaane aaya tha."
"Phir leke kyun nahi gaya?"
Yeh sawaal Aliya ne kiya tha, jo bistar ki ek taraf kharri thi.
"Maine uss se mohlat maangi hai."
Asfand ne apni maa ki taraf dekha.
"Maine uss ko kaha hai ke Bia aage parhna chahti hai. Kam as kam uss ko inter karna hai. Aur jab tak woh nahi ho jaata, tab tak Bia yahin rahegi."
"Aur Adil maan gaya?"
Naima ne apne bete ka chehra ghaur se parhte hue poocha.
"Mushkil se, par han maan gaya!"
Asfand ne apne chehre pe haath pherra.
"Jiss din Bia apna baarveeh ka aakhri imtehaan degi, ussi din woh uss ko apne saath le jaayega."
"Toh phir ab tum kya karoge?"
Aliya ne poocha.
"Filhaal toh kuch nahi. Par aap logo mei se koi Bia se kuch nahi kahega! Waqt aane pe main khud baat karunga!"
