Jannat Ke Pattay

Part 14

Woh zara pareshan hua.

"Aray nahi..." woh foran sambhali aur phir idhar udhar ki batein kar ke khud ko normal zahir karne mein kamiyab ho hi gayi.

Phone band hua to woh Aram ki taraf chali aayi.

"Yun mooh sar lapait kar baithne se kuch nahi hoga."

"To kya karein?" Aram ne takiya phenka aur uth baithi.

"Sabse pehle to saare ghar ke computers se is website ko block karte hain. Taake kam az kam ghar walon ko to na pata chale, phir iska koi mustaqil hal sochte hain."

"Theek hai chalo!" Umeed ka sara nazar aate hi Aram uth khadi hui. Bina kisi diqqat ke jab woh tamam computers par is website ko block kar chuki to Saima Taai ne aakar bataya ke raat mein Aram ko dekhne ke liye Taaya Furqan ke koi family friend aur unka khandan aa raha hai. Rasmi karwai thi kyunke rishta to woh dhake chhupe lafzon mein maang hi chuke the. Haya sab kuch bhool kar purjosh ho gayi.

"Hamare dulha bhai bhi saath hi aaye hain." Haya drawing room mein jhank kar andar kamre mein aayi to woh munh lade baithe thi.

"Tum aise kyun bethi ho?"

Aram ne aahista se sar uthaya. Sar par saleeqe se dupatta odhe woh bar dekhaave ke liye taya baithe thi.

"Woh video..."

"Dafa karaaye. Aao, sab bhala rahe hain. Ladke ko uski waleda Majida ne andar bulaya hai, tumhein dikhane ke liye."

"Aao!" Usne haath pakad kar use khada kiya.

Woh Aram ko pakde drawing room mein aagayi.

Samne do single sofas par ek nafis si khatoon aur ek khubro sanwla jawaan betha tha. Samne rakhi meez lozamat se saji thi aur Sonia besad israr mehmaano ko bohot kuch pesh kar rahi thi.

"Bas bhai bhi! Humein to apne jaisi hi bachi chahiye. Bahaaya, ba paada, soom o salaah ki paabandi." Woh khatoon muskurakar keh rahe thi.

"Arrey Miss Kareem! Hamari Aram to kabhi sar dhakay baghair gate se bahar nahi nikli."

"Assalamu Alaikum!" Woh Aram ko saath liye andar dakhil hui. Uske salaam par sab ne sar utha kar dekha.

"Gulabi pooree aasteenon waali shalwar qameez mein hum rang dupatta achhi tarah phaila kar sar par liye Aram jhuki jhuki nigahon se saamne ek sofa par aabeeth gayi.

Haya bhi saath hi thi. Kamar par girte silkay baal, grey A-line shirt aur trousers zyab tan kiye, dupatta kandhey par dale Aram ke saath hi taang par taang rakhe pur-eitmad tareeqay se baith gayi.

Begum Kareem ki mushfiq ki aankhon mein Aram ke liye pasandidgi ki jhalak uthi thi. Unhone taeedi andaaz mein apne smart se bete ko dekha, magar woh Aram ko nahi, balkay bohat ghor se Haya ko dekh raha tha.

"Aur beta! Aap kya karti ho?" Bete ko mutawajjah na pa kar woh Aram se mukhatib hui.

"Jee, masters kar rahi hoon English literature mein." Aram ne jhuki jhuki nazron se jawab diya.

Tab hi Haya ko mehsoos hua ke woh larka musalsal usay dekh raha hai. Badi jaanchti par khati nazron se.

Dafaatain usne pocket se apna blackberry phone nikala aur khamoshi se sar jhukaye button press karne laga.

Khawateen aapas mein masroof thi, magar Haya kuch ajeeb sa mehsoos karti kankhiyon se usko dekh rahi thi. Jo apne phone rajhka hua tha. Tab hi hoolay se uske mobile se "Mai Neem Az Sheela" ki awaz goonji. Jise usne foran band kar diya. Magar woh sun chuki thi. Sheela ke saath shadiyon ka makhsoos shor bhi sunai diya tha aur Aram ne bhi shayad kuch suna tha, tab hi chonk kar gardan uthayi aur phir qadray subki se waapas jhuka di.

Haya ko apne jism se jaan nikalti hui mehsoos hui. Kyaad nayi itni chhoti thi?

Woh ab mobile par kuch dekh raha tha, kabhi screen par dekhta aur kabhi diya aur Aram ke chehron par nazar dalta. Saaf zahir tha ke woh kuch milane ki koshish kar raha tha.

Phir ek dam woh utha aur tezi se kamray se nikal gaya. Ek sharminda ki khamoshi ne sarey mahol ko gher liya. Hayanay sar jhuka diya, use apna dil doobta hua sa mehsoos hua tha.

Woh bohat bechain si baithi. Paaon oopar sofe par sametay, haath mein remote pakde, woh jhilaayi hui si channel badal rahi thi. Muztarib, bebas, pareshan.

Smart TV ki screen par poore music ke sath advertisement chal raha tha. Woh ghaib dimaaghi se screen ko dekh rahi thi. Jahan mobile company ke sath "غیر تصدیق شدہ سم کا استعمال قانو نا جرم ہے۔ پی ٹی اے"(Ghair tasdeeq shuda sam ka istemal qanoonan jurm hai. PTI.) likha araha tha. Jaane kab pause ka button us se daba aur advertisement wahi ruk gaya. Woh itni door bhangi hui thi ke play bhi na kar saki.

Dafaatan darwaze mein Fatima Begum ki shakal dikhayi di. Woh thaki thaki si andar dakhil ho rahi thi. Khayal remote phenk kar tezi se uthi.

Kiya baat thi? Saima Tai ne kyun bulaya tha?

Aram ke rishte ke liye jo log is din aaye the unhone inkaar kar diya hai, halankay rishta mang chuke the.

Aur Haya ka dil bohat doob kar ubhar aatha.
