Vasl e Yaar

Chapter 6

"Salaam amma!"
Aliya ka beta kamre mei daakhil hua aur aa ke apni maa ke sarr ko chuma. Aliya ne mohabbat se uss ke sarr pe haath phaira.
"Aaj saari mehfil yahin jammi hai, khair toh hai?"
Uss ne sharart bharre andaaz mei poocha.
"Amma humei Asfi aur Bia ki kahani suna rahi thin!"
Aliya ki bahu ne jawaab diya.
"Chalei aap log yeh kahani sunei, main fresh hoke aata hu!"
Yeh keh kar, woh apne kamre ki taraf chala gaya.
"Dadi aap aage batayei na!"
Adam ne zidd ki.
"Toh phir yeh hua ke Asfand aur Bia ki mohabbat din ba din barhti chali gayi. Adil ne Bia se har kism ka taaluq torr diya tha. Khala hafte mei do baar toh aa hee jaati thi. Aisay hee do saal guzar gaye. Bia ke 12th ke exams chal rahe the. Uss ke aakhiri ezam se ek din pehle....."
............
Anabia apne kamre mei baithi parh rahi thi jab darwaze pe dastak hui. Anabia ne kitabon pe se nazar hatayi toh darwaze pe Asfand ko kharra paaya.
"Andar aa jaou?"
Uss ne narmi se poocha.
"Aayei na!"
Anabia ne muskura kar jawaab diya aur apne dupatta utha ke apne seene pe phaila liya.
"Taiyaari kaisi jaa rahi hai imtehaan ki?"
Asfand ne bistar ke ek kone pe baithte hue poocha.
"Bohat achi! Akhir kaar ab ek hee imtehaan bacha hai. Phir kuch dino ki azaadi mil jaayegi!"
Uss ke bachkana andaaz pe Asfand ki hasi chooti. Chand lamhe woh uss ko dekhte raha, phir bola.
"Bia? Ek baat poochu?"
Anabia ne uss se nazrei milayi.
"Poochei na!"
Asfand ne ek gehri saans bharri.
"Mujh se nikaah karogi?"
Anabia chand lamhe uss ka chehra dekhti rahi.
"Abhi?"
Hichkichate hue uss ne poocha.
"Abhi!"
Asfand ne haami bharri.
Anabia uss ke chehre pe kuch dhoond rahi thi. Ke shayd woh mazak kar raha ho, par Asfand ke chehre pe sirf sanjeedgi thi.
"Theek hai!"
Uss ne kuch lamhe baad jawaab diya.
"Tum poochogi nahi ke main abhi nikaah kyun karna chahta hu?"
Asfand ki nazrei uss ke chehre ko takti rahin.
"Mohabbat mei sawaal nahi hote! Hukam kiye jaate hain aur unn ki takmeel hoti hai."
Anabia ne muskura kar kaha.
Asfand uss ke chehre ko apni nazar mei qaid kar raha tha. Anabia apni ungliyon se khel rahi thi, jab kuch soch ke boli.
"Lekin, abba aur veer?"
"Woh nahi aayenge Bia! Tum jaanti ho woh aa gaye toh humara nikaah nahi ho paayega."
"Aur amma?"
"Khala aayegi. Balke woh apne haathon se tumhe taiyaar karegi!"
Uss ki baat pe Anabia halke se muskurayi.
...............
Chand hee ghanton mei, Anabia Shehzad se Anabia Asfandiyar ban gayi thi. Woh uss ke kamre mei maujood thi, sufaid rang ke saada jorre mei malboos. Bilkul kisi hoor jaisi lag rahi thi. Uss ke bistar pe baithi, apne shohar ki muntazir thi. Kamre ke darwaze pe halki si dastak hui, aur Asfand andar daakhil hua. Uss ko apne bistar pe baitha paa kar, Asfand ke chehre pe ek gehri muskurahat ubhri.
"Alhamdulilah!"
Dabbi hui awaaz mei uss ne apne rab ka shukar ada kiya. Ahista ahista chalte, woh uss ke saamne aa ke baith gaya. Anabia ne apni nazrei uthayi aur Asfand ki shehad rang aankhon se mili.
"Meri ek khwahish poori karengi begum?"
Asfand ne mohabbat bharre andaaz mei poocha. Anabia ke gaal laal hue aur uss ne haan mei sarr hilaya.
"Ab toh mujhe mere naam se bula lei!"
Asfand ne kisi bache ki tarah apni khwahish uss ke saamne rakhi. Anabia halke se hasi, phir apna chehra nafi mei hilaya.
"Yar main tumhare liye tunhare veer aur abba se larrta phirr raha hu, aur tum mere liye mera naam bhi nahi le sakti!"
Asfand ne ghussa dekhate hue kaha.
Anabia uss ke andaaz pe muskurayi. Uss ke kareeb khiski, aur apne haath uss ki gardan ke gird lapaite. Uss ke kaan ke kareeb jhukki aur sargoshi mei boli.
"Humei aap se beintehaa mohabbat hai Asfandiyar Rehman!"
Asfand ke kaan laal hue aur uss ne apne haath uss ki kamar ke gird lapait liye.
"Itna pyaar mat dikhaiye begum, kahin aisa na ho ke aap itni thakk jaayei ke kal imtehaan dene na jaa sakei!"
Asfand ne bhi ussi sargoshi ke andaaz mei sharart se bharpoor lehje mei bola aur Anabia bas uss ke seene mei apna chehra chupa gayi. Asfand uss ke yun sharmane pe khul ke hasa.
.................
Agle din, Asfand uss ke college ke saamne kharra, uss ke baahir aane ka intezaar kar raha tha. Paanch minute baad woh baahir aati nazar aayi. Asfand ko dekh ke uss ke chehre pe ek gehri muskurahat ubhri aur woh bhaagti hui Asfand ke paas aa gayi.
"Kaisa gaya meri begum ka imtehaan?"
Asfand ne mohabbat se poocha.
"Alhamdulilah bohat acha! Aap dekhiyega in shaa Allah meri 90% aayegi!"
Anabia ne khushi khushi Asfand ko bataya aur woh khamoshi se muskurata uss ki baat sunta raha.
"Ab chalei? Ghar pe amma intezaar kar rhi hongi."
Asfand ne narmi se poocha.
"Jii chalei!"
Anabia ne  muskurate hue Asfand ke bazu ko apne haath se pakra. Asfand uss ki iss harkat pe khul ke muskuraya. Woh dono palte hee the ke saamne nazar aane wale manzar ne dono ke hosh urra diye.
Saamne ek gaari se taik lagaye Adil, hothon mei cigarette dabaye, apne chand doston ke saath kharra tha. Asfand ne Anabia ko apne peeche chupaya. Anabia uss ke chaurre kandhon ke peeche se jhaankti apne bhai ko khauf se dekh rahi thi.
"Tu toh aasteen ka saanp nikla Asfandiyar Rehman! Mujhe bola ke iss ki parhayi ke baad iss ko le jaana, aur kal hee iss se nikaah kar liya."
Adil unn ki taraf barthe hue bola. Apni cigarette uss ne sarak pe pheki aur uss pe apna paer rakh ke uss cigarette ko kuchal diya.
Anabia ne peeche se Asfand ki kameez ko apni muthiyon mei dabaya.
"Dekho Adil, jo baat karni hai, ghar jaa ke aaram se karte hain! Yahan tamasha mat lagao!"
Asfand ne aaram se samjhane ki koshish kari.
"Tamasha main laga raha hu?"
Adil ne iss baat pe qehqaha lagaya.
"Saale, meri behen ka tamasha toh tu ne bana diya hai!"
Adil unn ki taraf mazeed barha. Anabia, Asfand ki dhaal se nikli aur uss ke saamne aa ke kharri ho gayi.
"Veer, dekh tujhe jo baat karni hai tu mujh se kar! Saari galti meri thi, main apni marzi se bhaagi thi. Inhone kuch nahi kiya! Inhe chorr de!"
Anabia rote hue uss ke aage girgirayi.
"INHONE!"
Adil ka ek aur zordar qehqaha buland hua. Woh ek kadam mazeed aage barha aur Anabia peeche hui. Uss ki kamar Asfand ke seene se takrayi.
"Bia, mujhe baat karne do!"
Asfand ne Anabia ke kaan mei sargoshi ki.
"Baat tu tab karega jab main gujhe iss kaabil chorunga!"
Adil ne Anabia ko apne saamne se hataya aur Asfand ke chehre pe ek zanatedaar thappar maara. Thappar itna zorrdar tha ke Asfand ke honth se khoon behne laga. Anabia bhaagti hui uss ke paas aayi lekin Adil ne phir usse dhakka maar ke door kiya.
Adil ne Asfand ko ek mukka maara, phir ek aur, phir ek aur. Asfand ki naak se bhi khoon aane laga.
Anabia ne aa ke Adil ke baazu ko thaama aur uss ko oeeche karna chaha.
"Veer main tere aage haath jorrti hu! Tujhe Khuda ka waasta hai unhe chorr de!"
Anabia chilayi. Adil ne uss ko ghusse se dekha.
"Main tere saath chalungi, main talaq bhi le lungi! Tu jo kahega main woh karungi bas inhe chorr de!"
Anabia ne apne aansuon ke beech kaha.
Adil uss ko chand lamhe dekhta raha, phir ek thappar Anabia ke chehra pe lagaya. Anabia larkhara kar peeche hui. Asfand uss ki taraf barha hee tha ke peeche se kisi ne uss ko laat maari. Asfand mu ke bal zameen pe jaa girra. Adil ne uss pe laaton ki barsaat kar di. Anabia ne hosh sambhala toh bhaagte hue apne bhai ko puri jaan laga ke dhakka diya.
Iss baar larkharane ki baari Adil ki thi. Anabia ne Asfand ka haath pakar ke uss ko uthane ki koshish kari. Asfand mushkil se khud ko sambhalta, Anabia ka sahara liye kharra hua. Door kharra Adil yeh dekh ke apne aap pe kaabu kho chuka tha. Uss ne apni jaib se ek pistol nikali aur ek hee lamhe mei do goliyan shopt kardi.
Asfand, jo ke Anabia ka haath thaame bamushkil kharra tha, apne seene mei dard ki ek shadeed leher mehsoos karta, zameen pe jaa girra.
"ASFI!!!"
Anabia ki ek zordaar cheekh nikli. Uss ne beyakeeni se apne bhai ko dekha, phir uss shakhs ko jo uss ki khatir apni jaan de raha tha. Woh Asfand ke kareeb ghutne ke bal baith gayi aur beawaaz ro di. Asfand ki aankhei khuli thin aur chehra khoon se laal. Uss ko saans lene mei dikkat ho rahi thi. Anabia uss ke maath ko chum ke peeche hui hee thi ke kisi ne uss ka bazu peeche se thaama. Adil ne uss ko pakar ke apne saath ghaseette hue le jaa raha. Jab Anabia ki nazar uss ki jaib mei maujood pistol pe parri. Anabia ne jaldi se uss ki jaib se pistol nikali aur Adil ko dhakka diya. Woh pistol uss ne apni kanpatti pe tikka di, aur ek ek kadam leti peeche hoti gayi.
"Bia goli chal jaayegi! Neeche karo usse!"
Adil ki dabbi dabbi cheekh nikli.
"Jiss ke saath jeena tha, uss ko toh tumne mujhse cheen liya veer! Ab jo unn ke saath hee na guzari, aisi zindagi jee ke main kya karungi!"
Anabia ki aankh se ek aansu girra aur uss ki awaaz madham parr gayi. Kadam peeche leti, woh Asfand ke barabar aa ke ruki. Uss ne Asfand ki taraf dekha jo uss ko dekh ke naffi mei sarr hila raha tha.
Anabia ki aankhon se aansuon ka raila behna shoru ho gaya. Asfand ki aankhon mei minnat bharra andaaz dekh ke, Anabia ke haath khud ba khud usski barabar mei aa girre aur woh pistol uss ke haath se girr gayi. Anabia ki aankhei Asfand ki aankhon mei jhaank rahi thin jab ek zorr daar awaaz aayi.
Anabia ne apne seene aur taang mei dard ki shadeed leher mehsoos ki aur woh apne ghutne ke bal girr gayi. Uss ke neeche hote hee, uss ke peeche kharre Anabia ka baap nazar aaya jiss ke haath mei ek aur pistol thi.
"Tere jaisi larki ke hone se acha hota ke humari koi aulaad hee na hoti, beghairat!"
Uss ke baap ne ghusse mei bola aur sarak pe thooka.
Anabia ahista ahista zameen pe girrti gayi. Bamushkil aankhei khole, uss ne apne chehra Asfand ki taraf kiya. Asfand ki shehad rang aankhei laal ho chuki thi aur unn se aansu beh rahe the. Takleef ke ya dukh ke, Anabia iss ka andaaza nahi laga paayi.
Halke se uth ke, Anabia ne apne aap ko Asfand ki taraf khiskaya. Jab woh bilkul uss ke barabar mei aa gayi, toh uss ke seene pe apna sarr tika diya. Asfand ne apne kaampte haath Anabia ke gird lapaite. Dono ne apni aakhiri saansei ek doosre ki baahon mei li.
...............
Aliya apna chashma utaare, apne aansu saaf kar rahi thi, jab unn ki taraf kisi ne paani ka glass barhaya.
"Ammi, paani pee lei!"
Woh unn ka beta tha, jo ab kapre tabdeel kar ke aa chuka tha.
"Iss ka matlab woh dono kabhi saath nahi ho paaye?"
Aliya ki bahu ne poocha. Aliya halke se muskurayi, ek dard bharri muskurahat.
"They were two souls that were meant to be together. If not in the world then in the hereafter."
