Marham e ishq

Chapter 13

Darwaze se dakhil hote hue woh aas paas nazre dhora rahi thi. Bachey kab ke excited hote andar bhaag chuke the. Bara aur jadeed tarz ka living room kuch aage jaate hi samne aaya tha aur dusri taraf usi tarah ka hi khubsoorat sa kitchen tha beech me ek bari si dining table pari thi jispe kuch bhi na rakha tha.

Poora ghar bara to beinteha tha magar aise lagta jese wahan koi rehta hi na ho. Jab peechey se bags sab andar rakh ke Zalaan aaya aur uske saath aa khara hua to Eyila ne ek nazar use dekha.

"Kesa laga ghar?"

Usne sofey pe uchalte becho ko dekhte hue madham awaaz me apne saath khari Eyila se pucha tha.

"Acha hai"

Eyila ne kandhe uchka ke kaha. Woh kab bare gharon se mutassir hone walo me se thi? Woh to bas pyar muhabbat aur apnayiyat ki bhooki thi paisa aur bare bangle usne zindagi me bohat dekhe the aur use koi bhi aaj tak raas na aaya tha. Akhir ko woh muhabbat aur sakoon use un banglon me nahi magar do kamre ke us chote apartment me mila tha jahan koi asaish na thi kisi kisam ki luxury na thi magar un chote bacho ke saath aata sakoon tha.

"Ghar me kuch bhi change karna chaho ya add karna chaho tumhari marzi hai. Meri taraf se koi rouk tok nahi ho gi tum apne aur bacho ke araam pe dihaan de ke kuch bhi badal saktu ho."

Usne sarsari andaaz me kaha magar Eyila ne kuch herat se use dekha tha. Use laga tha woh use mudakhlat karne se rouke ga magar woh to...?

"Ghar aap ka hai main kese kuch badal sakti hun?"

Usne jese uska jawaab jaan ne ke taajub me yeh keh dala tha. Zalaan be bacho se nazre na hatayi thi aur usi tarah rukh more bagair bola.

"Us din jo sign kiye the na uske baad yeh ghar aap ka bhi ho chuka hai."

Woh use sirf dekhti reh gayi sakoon se aaya jawaab use khamosh kar gaya tha. Heartbeat jese taiz ho gayi thi magar phir purane khadshe dil me jaage aur ab dher sare jazbaat apas me takra pare. Isi sab me confuse si woh uske chehre ko dekhti rahi to woh halke e uski taraf nazre ghuma ke usi tarah sakoon se bola.

"Utna hi jitna mera hai."

Kuch lamhe uske chehre ko dekhne ke baad woh chalta hua bacho ki taraf chala gaya. Woh wahan khari dekhti rahi jaa ke jab woh bacho ke beech betha to Hamia uth ke uski goud me bethi aur Hamish use apne saath arm wrestling karne ka kehne laga jo uski maan ke Hamia ko ek side pe bithae bithae woh usse panja larane laga jisme usne bilkul jaan nahi daali thi magar aise awaaz nikalne laga jese woh bohat takat laga raha ho. Uske paas bethi Zalaan ko aur zor lagane ka kehti Hamia beyhad excited thi aur Hamish poora chehra laal karta jaan lagata raha. Akhir ko jab Hamish ne use hara diya to Hamia ne apna mu phula liya aur Hamish cheekhen marta khush idhar udhar uchalne laga.

"This is not fair! Zalaan kese haar sakte hain?!"

Hamia ne Zalaan ka baazu hilaya tha aur Zalaan ne use dekha aur dheere se uske labon pe muskurahat aayi.

"Kyun ke main ziyada strong hun!!"

Hamish use mu charata bola. Hamia jese chir si gayi.

"Zalaan dubara karen! I know aap is se ziyada strong hain"

Zalaan ne uske gaal ko pyaar se halka sa khencha aur phir bola.

"Next time main jeet jaun ga ok?"

Usne kaha to Hamia ne phule mu ke saath sar ko kham kiya tha aur jab woh muskurayi to dono ke chehre ko dekhti Eyila jese apni nare na hata payi dono se. Kitni shakal me mushabat thi dono ki, naa khoon ka rishta hote hue bhi dono ke chehre pe ubharne wala dimple dekh ke woh bhi muskura di.

Zindagi bhi kya thi use kahan se kahan le aayi thi. Kal tak woh shadi ka soch bhi na skati thi aur aaj woh kisi ke ghar me uski biwi ban ke aayi thi. Zindagi me uski kabhi kuch waisa na hua tha jesa usne socha tha aur jab jab kuch naya hua tha bura hua tha uska dil poori tarah is baar bhi kese sakoon me aa jaaata..? Apni qismat pe andha bharosa kese kar leti woh.
