Akash…. oh…. Akash kya kar rahe ho beta kitni der se tum ko awaj derahi hu..
Aur tu he ki sun hi nahi raha he..

Yeh awaj Akash ki maa ki thi Jo apne ghar ke bahar diwar se lagkar bane chote se jhopde se rotiya pakate hue usko awaj derahi thi…

Par apni maa ke awaj ki koi parwah kiye bager Akash andar betha TV dekh raha tha… usne apni maa ki awaj sunkar bhi koi jawab nahi diya…

Par uski maa usko fir se lagatar 3-4 bar awaj deti he jisse Akash pareshan hokar bahar ajata he aur apni maa se kehta he…

Akash – kya huwa maa kyu chilla rahi ho thik se TV bhi dekhne nahi deti bolo kya kam he…

Maa( chule par roti pakate huwe)- sara din TV hi toh dekhta rehta he ja jakar nal par se pani lea ab toh sham ke waqt NAL par Jada bhid bhi na rehti..

Pani ka naam sunkar Akash burasa muh bana kar kehta he…

Akash- mujhe nahi bharna koi pani-wani……. Aur andar jane lagta he…

Maa (gusse me) – tu nahi jayega toh Kon jayega Sara din toh awaro ki tarha ghum ta rehta he… ya fir TV ke samne pada rehta he.. bas yahi ik kam toh karna hota he jiske liye bhi tu ana kani karta he ja jakar Jaldi pani laa…

Akash- mene ik bar kaha na ki mai nahi jaunga toh nahi jaunga bas…

Maa (chillakar ) – ha har bar yahi bola kar ki tune keh diya toh keh diya… padhai ka bhi yahi bola tha ki mene ka mujhe age nahi padhna toh nahi padhna bas… pata nahi isko kya huwa he achhe khase number se pass toh huwa tha par pata nahi kyu aage padhne se mana kardiya Aur tab se pata nahi kyu is tarha rehta he ki Kisi ka koi kam bhi nahi sunta Aur na hi thik se bat karta he………

Aur na jane uski maa kya2 bolti gai jiska natija yeh huwa ki Akash ne pareshan hokar apni saikil utha li Aur uspar 35 liter ke 2 can laga kar chal pada NAL par pani lane par jate2 bhi apni maa ko keh gaya….

Akash- Aap logo ko koi Lena dena nahi he is bat se ki mene aage ki padhai kyu nahi ki yeh Meri jindagi he mai kuch bhi karu…

Is bat se uski maa Aur gusaa hoti he aur na jane kya2 kehti he par maa ki ikbhi bat bina sune Akash NAL ki taraf chal deta he… Akash ko is bat se kuch fark nahi padta tha ki uske gharwale uske bare me kya sochte he unko usse kya umide he woh toh bas in sab batoko ignore karke apni hi dhun me rehta tha.

ik ajib tarha ka ladka bangaya tha woh in kuch mahino me. Har samay khush rehne wala Aur Kisi ke bhi koi bhi kam bina koi sawal ke karne wala ladka achanak se badal gaya tha.

Akash ko 10th me bade achhe no. mile the jiske madad se woh apne gharwalo ka sapna Jo isko ik architect engineer banta dekhna chate the woh pura kar sakta tha..

par achanak usne aage padhne se mana kardiya. Aur tab se uske andar kafi badlav dikhe, woh ab Kisi ki koi bat nahi manta tha Ya fir Jo dil kare wahi karta tha kabhi kabhi der rat tak ghar nahi ata ya fir sara din gahar se bahar hi nahi jata tha.. Aur har bar gusse se bhara rehta tha.
Uske is badlav ko koi bhi nahi samajh pa raha tha… ghaewale toh uske is badle swabhav se kafi pareshan the par unhone bhi sab waqt par chhod diya tha.

Khairr.. Akash apne gusse se bhara huwa NAL par pahuch jata he (Jo ki us gav ke sare gharo se thoda dur tha) Aur jese hi woh waha pani bhar rahi ladkiyo ko dekhta he toh woh wahi ruk sa gaya..

Wese toh woh sari ladkiya uske pahchan ki hi thi kyu ki woh sab uske ghar ke pass hi ik gali me rehti thi (woh sab ik alag cast ki thi Jo apni ik alag language bola Karti thi jo Tamil se kafi had tak milti thi.. Aur unke kuch alag hi riti rewaj the) par uske wahi khade rehne ki asli WAJAH kuch Aur thi.

Aur woh thi AKSHADA (Akash ki bacpan ki dost jis se fir jawan hote hote bato ki duriya badh gai thi) jisko Akash Aaj kitne mahino bad dekh raha tha.. Aur uske pyare se chehre ko dekh kar Akash apni hi jaga par thamsa gaya tha.. uski dhadkane ruk si gai par fir achanak se uska dil jorose dhadakne laga. Usko najane kyu par akashda ko dekh kar usko aisa mehsus hota he jese usko duniya bhar ki khushiya mil gai ho. Aur uski khushi saf dekheja sakti thi…

Par Akash ki yeh khushiya achanak se kahi gayab ho gai kyu ki agle hi pal usko yad aya ki uski shadi ho chuki he.. Aur fir uski nazar uske chehre se hat kar akshada ke pure sharir par padti he Jo ik puri shadi- shuda aurat prarit ho rahi thi..

Aur yeh sab chije dekhne ke bad Akash ka dil rone laga usko ESA lag raha tha jese yeh sari chije uske dil ke tukde tukde kar rahi ho..

Usko dekhte huwe Akash apni tandra me najane kitne jakham apne dil par Aur sehta raha… fir usko hosh tab aya jab unme se ik ladki dusri adki par unki bhasha me chilla rahi thi…

Hosh me ate hi Akash pahle waha se jane ki sochta he. Aur woh waha se jane hi wala tha ki akshda ki nazar Akash par padti he. Aur jab Akash pata chalta he ki akshada usko dekh rahi he toh uske kadam apne Aap NAL ki taraf chal dete he..

Akash jakar akshada jis NAL par pani bhar rahi thi uske dusre side wale NAL ki taraf apne cans rakh kar Aur Apni gardan niche rakh kar uspe beth jata he.. woh jis taraf ke NAL par pani bharne ke liye betha tha, us taraf ke NAL par Sirf ik ladki apne hundi( ghade) me pani bhar rahi thi Aur baki sab akshada ki taraf ke nal par thi..

Akash waha bethe2 us NAL ko kos raha tha kyu ki Jo bhi ho akshada bhalehi uski bachpan ki dost kyu na ho par uske ek tarfa pyar ki shurwat yahi se hui thi.. yahi toh woh jaga thi jaha Akash usko jibhar ke dekhta tha.. uske intazar me yaha din bhar bethta tha

Par Aaj woh apne adhure pyar ka jimmedar is bechare NAL ko manta tha.. kyu ki agar yeh na hota toh Akash ko akshada se pyar na hota.. aur na hi baki sab hota.. Aur sab se badi bat na hi usko apna pyar adhura rehne ka woh dard milta..

Isse pahle ki Akash us NAL ko Aur kosta uspar kuch pani ke bundo ka chidkao huwa.. jiske karan Akash hadbada kar aage dekhta he. Akash ke is hadbadat ko dekh kar waha akshada ko chodh kar sari ladkiya khilkhila kar hasne lagti he. Fir unmese jisne Akash par pani ka chidkav kiya tha/ Jo uski taraf ke NAL par thi woh usko kehti he..

Ladki – mene tumko 2bar awaj lagai thi kyu ki Meri handi bhar gai he. par tum ho ki kahi khoye huwe the. Is liye tum par pani feka tha. Chalo ab pani bharlo pani jane wala he..

Akash uske is bat par kuch nahi kehta par usko gusse se ghurta huwa apne can ka dhakkan khol kar usko NAL ke niche laga deta he.. Aur us can ko pakad kar fir se niche dekhne lagta he.

Akash ka can abhi thoda hi bhara tha ki tabhi ik hath akar uske NAL ko thoda ghuma deta he. Jisse uske taraf ke NAL ka pani kam hokar ustaraf ke NAL ke pani ki speed badhti he.

Apne taraf ke NAL ki speed kam ki jane se Akash ko gussa ata he aur woh us hath wali ladki ko kuch bolne ke liye jese hi upar dekhta he. Uska gussa najane kaha gayab ho jata he kyu ki woh ladki koi aur nahi AKSHADA thi.

Usko dekh kar Akash fir niche dekhne lagta he..
Akash (man me) – kya yeh ladki pagal he Jo is tarha ki harkate firse kar rahi he.. tab bat alag thi Jo iske inhi harkato ki WAJAH se mujhe isse pyar huwa tha yeh jante huwe bhi ki iski shadi bachpan me hi ho chuki he.. Aur ab yeh yaha Sirf Kisi Aur ke amant ke torpar reh rahi thi..

par Aaj tum puri tarha se uski ho chuki ho AKSHADA Aur tum ab bhi wahi sab mujhe yad dilakar mere unjakhmo ko Aur gehra bana rahi ho…..

Isse aage ki Akash apne ankho me jama unansuo ko baha deta uske kano me akshada ki payri si awaj sunai deti he..

Akshada – kese ho Akash?

Uff… kya fill kar raha tha Akash us waqt yeh Bata pana mere liye bahut mushkil he..

Kherr.. Akash apni sari bhavnao ko chupate huwe usko jawab deta he..

Akash- th… ik huuu tum bo…lo kesi… ho..

Akash ki is ladkhdahat ko dekh kar waha khadi sari ladkiyo ko hasi ajati he.. jisse akshada unpar gussa hoti he.. Aur unko unki language me bahut kuch kehti he.. jisse woh sab ladkiya unse thoda dur jakar khadi hoti he..

Fir akshada Akash se- mai bilkul thik hu par tum istarha kyu hakla rahe ho.

Akshada ke is sawal ka jawab Akash se nahi diya jata Aur woh idhar udhar dekhne lagta he..( ab woh kehta bhi toh kya ki woh jis ladkise dilojaan se chahta tha woh Aaj usse pahli bar bat kar raha he..)

Akshada fir se – kya huwa ab chup ho gaye..

Akash – Ku..CH bhi to..h nahi mujhe kya ho..ga

Akashada- toh tum hakla kyu rahe ho..

Khud ko thik karte huwe Akash- are kuch nahi. bas itne dino bad Meri ek achhi dost mujhse achanak bat kar rahi he is liye thodisi juban ladkhada rahi thi..

Akash ke is bat se Akshada chup hojati he. Kyu ki yeh bat bhi Sahi thi ki usne hi 2 dosto ke bichh ki khamoshiwali deewar todi thi. Aur Akash bhi aage koi bat nahi karta uski toh abhi bhi Akshada se khud bat karne ki himmat nahi ho rahi thi..

Akshada kuch der shant rehti he fir jane kya sochkar fir se bat karti he..

Akshada- wese suna tha ki tum is sal kafi achhe no se pass huwe the Aur sarpanchji ne(Akash ke pitah) gav walo ko bahut achhi dawat di thi.. mujhe kafi khushi Hui thi yeh bat jankar tum ko bahut2 badhai ho..
Wese tum aage padhlikhke kya banna chahoge..

Akshada ki batse Akash usko ese dekhta he jese usne koi Galat bat Galat samay par kardi ho. Fir usse kehta he.

Akash- tumhara thanks par ab mene aage ki padhai chodh di he. Ab isse aage mai nahi padhne wala..

Akshada- kya?? Itne achhe no. Se pass hone ke bad bhi tum aage nahi padhrahe ho.. kya mai tumse yeh puch sakti hu ki akhir tum ne apni padhai kyu chodhi kyu ki tum ko toh padhlikh kar bada admi banna tha.. kya tum mere is sawal ka jawab de sakte ho..

Akash- ha yeh sach tha ki mujhe padhlikhkar bada admi banna tha. Par ab mujhe nahi padhna Aur nahi Kisi ko iski WAJAH batani he ki kyu mene yeh faisla liya..

(Ab tak Akash ke cans bhar chuke the. Is liye woh unko nikal kar apni saikil ke taraf lejata he.)

Akshada (pichese )- kya tum woh bat apne is dost ko bhi nahi bataoge..

Akshada ki batsun Akash kuch der rukta he fir- nahi yeh bat Kisi ko batane layak nahi he. Aur nahi Kisi ke sunne layak.

Akshada- bachpan me tumne hi ik bar kaha tha Akash ki ham dost he aur ham koi bhi bat ek-dusre se chupa sakte Aur ab tum khud hi mujhse kuch chupa rahe ho.. kya me iska Matlb yeh samjhu ki ab ham dost nahi rahe. Thik he toh yahi sahi..

Akash- nahi esi koi bat nahi he Akshada ham Aaj bhi dost he.

Akshada- nahi Akash yahi bat he isi liye tum nahi bata rahe ho(Aur apna ghada utha kar jane lagti he.)

Akash(uske samne jakar)- suno me Kisi se bahut pyar karta tha. Apni jaan se bhi jada. Mere sare sapne, Jo bhi me banna chahtatha woh sab uske liye hi the. Mai usko sari duniya ki khushiya dena chata tha. Par ab woh sare sapne tutgaye he kyu ki uski shadi kisi aur se hochuki he. Ab koi fayda nahi jindagi me kuch banne ka nahi ab mujhe kuch hasil karna he is jindagi me..

Kuch der chup rehkar Akshada..
Akshada- mai samajh saktihu Akash ki tum usko panasake is liye tum apni life me kuch karna nahi chahte aur ese bangaye. Par kya tum apno ke sath thik kar rahe ho jinhone tumhari aage ki jindagi ke liye kuch sapne dekhe honge..

Akash- tum kehna kya chahti ho

Akshada- mai tumhare pariwarwalo ki bat kar rahi hu Akash tum bhi jante ho ki unhone kitne sapne dekhe honge tumhare bareme ki tumko yeh banayenge, tum unka naam roshan karoge.. par tum apne akele ke sapno ki WAJAH se unsab ke sapno ko tod rahe ho ek bar tumko unke bare me bhi sochlkar aage koi faisla Lena chahiye tha..

Akash- Tum unke bare me bat kar rahi ho jinki WAJAH se hi yeh sab huwa he unko mere pyar ke bare me malum tha par unhone kuch nahi kiya. Aur toh Aur jab wohmujhse dur jane wali thi tab unhone mujhe isbat ka pata bhi na lagne diya Aur mujhe yaha se dur bhejdiya tha. Jab woh mere sath yeh sab kar sakte he toh fir mai kyu unke bareme kuch sochu batao mujhe..

Akshada- yesa nahi he Akash agar unhone yeh sab kiya he toh iske piche koi toh WAJAH hogi. Hamare ghaewale kabhi bhi hamare bareme bura nahi soch sakte Akash…

Akash- agar hamare gharwale hamare bareme bura nahi soch sakte toh tum mujhe yeh batao ki tumhare gharwalo ne kyu tumhari shadi bachpan mehi kardi thi. Kyu unhone tumhare bare me yeh nahi socha ki aage jakar tumhare bhi koi sapne honge tum bhi Kisi se apni marji se shadi karna chahogi batao mujhe kyu tumhare gharwalo ne tumhare sath esa kiya.

Akshada- tum is bat ko kahase kaha leja rahe ho Akash

Akash- nahi bat wahi he bas tum mujhe is bat ka jawab dedo ki kyu unhone tumhare sath esa kiya

Akshada- thik he toh suno unhone Jo bhi kiya he woh is samaj ke jhute ritiriwajo ki WAJAH se kiya is samaj ke dar ki WAJAH se kiya Aur rahi bat mere sapno kitoh Mera pahla sapna yahi tha ki mai hamesha apne pariwar ko khush rakhu Aur unke khushi ke liye hi mene unke is faisle ko manliya Akash..

Akshada- bas mai Aur ab Jada bat nahi karsakti hame der ho rahi he.. par Meri ek bad hamesha yad rakhna Akash pariwar hamesha pyar se badhkar hota he. Jaha pyar kamjor padega wahi pariwar tumhari takat banega..

Itna kehkar Akshada apni saheliyo ke sath chali jati he.

Akash( man me)- tum shayad sach keh rahi ho Akshada ki Aaj tum Meri nahi ho iski WAJAH mere ya tumhare gharwale nahi balki yeh samaj he jo Aaj tak apne purane ritiriwajo Aur kaydo se reh raha he. Isko Kisi ke pyar, sapno se koi farak nahi padta
Kash yeh samaj ke ghatiya riwaj nahi hote
Toh kash Aaj tum Meri hoti Akshada kash…

Idhar…. akshda aage apni sath ki ladkiyo ke sath tej tej chali jarahi thi.. Aur usko is bat ka pura yakin tha ki Akash uski bat jarur manega Aur fir se ik nai jindagi jiyega..

Woh sab jab Akash ke ghar ke samne se jarahi thi tab akshada Akash ki maa ko bahar khada dekh kar wahi raste par ruk jati he Aur uski saheliya aage nikal jati he..

Maa Aur akshada ik dusre ko kuch pal dekhte he fir achanakse akshada ki ankho se ansu chalak padte hai jisko is sham ke badhte huwe andhere me bhi maa ko dikhai dete hai.. fir woh Akash ki maa ko dekh kar hath jodti he jese ki woh Kisi bat ki unse mafi mang rahi ho fir woh waha Aur nahi Ruk pati Aur apne ansu pochte huwe lagbhag Bhag kar waha se chali jati he..

Maa bhi apne ansu pochte huwe andar jane lagti he.. Aur apne Aap se kehti he…

Maa- tumhara SHUKRIYA ada kese karu beti, Aaj Jo tum ne mere liye kiya he uski kimat ik maa kabhi nahi laga sakti..
Kash is samaj ke jhute kanun – kayde na hote, kash yeh riti-riwaj na hote, kash tum Meri bahu ban pati kash….

KOMAL ne jese hi yeh last line padhi usko Akash par bahut gussa aya.. Aur woh is liye ki uske PATI ne yeh adhuri story apne ik purani dairy me likhi thi Jo komal ko Aaj subhah storeroom ki safai karte waqt mili thi..

Jab usne is dairy ko padhna start kiya toh usko usko yeh lagne laga tha ki Akash Kisi se pyar karta tha par woh apne pyar ko is samaj ke dar se paana saka Aur fir jese2 woh aage badhi tab usko is bare me yakin ho gaya tha par last me jab usne Akash ki – tu kabhi writer nahi ban sakta wali line padhi tab usko pata chala ki uska woh yakin, padhte waqt uske ankho me aye woh ansu sab bematlb ke the..

Kyu ki uske adarniy kamine pati ne(yeh komal ki soch he) us dairy me apni koi story likhi thi.. Aur is bat se usko kafi gussa araha tha ki kese uska budhu pati dairy me bhi apni koi story likh sakta he..woh Akash se is bat par jhagda karne ki sochti he…
Par fir kuch soch kar woh hasne lagti he fir khud apne sir par ik chapat marte huwe khud se kehti he

Komal – budhhu tujhe bhi kis ne bola tha is dairy me likhi bato ko sach manne ke liye.. upar se is storeroom ki bhi safai puri nahi ki.. hmm…… chalo ab Jaldi se safai puri kardeti hu

Uske bad woh apne kam par lagjati he par kam karte samay bhi woh us story ke bare mehi soch rahi thi.. fir achanak se usko yeh yad ata he ki us story me Jo bhi jaga ya fir baki Jo bhi kaha tha woh sab Akash ke gaav se milta julta tha..

Ab komal fir se yeh sochne par majbur ho gaithi ki Jo bhi is dairy me likha he kya woh Akash ki sachhai he ya fir bas ik uski likhi hui story.. komal is bat par kafi sochti he ki kese is bat ka pata lagaye.. fir kuch der bad usko ik rasta mil jata he Aur woh Jaldi se apna kam khatam kar ke apne room me chaldeti hai Jaha Akash kuch kam kar raha tha..

Komal uske piche khadi hokar kehti he – toh Aaj konsi story likh rahe ho writer sahab

Akash piche mud kar- are kahski story Aur kahaka writer Bas kabhi kabhi kuch dimag me aye toh likh detahu, ha par jab bhi Aap ko dekhta hu najane kyu yeh dil kabhi ik shayar toh kabhi ik poet ban jata he..

Komal(jhute gusse se )- huh.. Aap Aur mujhe dekh kar shayar banjate he.. jao jao yeh maska Kisi Aur ko maro

Akash- are sach me Meri jaan agar kaho toh abhi ik adh shayri Aap ki khubsurti par sunadu

Komal- ji nahi iski koi jarurat nahi, wese bhi mai Aap ko lunch par bulane aai thi chaliye Jaldi, uske bad mujhe baki ghar ki safai bhi karni he..

Akash- are.. lunch ka kya he woh toh hota rahega pahle idhar aao Aur yeh dekho mene kya banaya he..

Fir Akash komal ko apne laptop me kuch dikhata he jisko dekh kar komal kehti he..

Komal – yeh kya he mujhe kuch samajh nahi araha..

Akash- yeh blueprint he hamare sapno ke ghar ka jisko Aap ke architect pati ne banaya he Jo jald hi pura hoga..

Komal- wow mai bahut khush hu..( kuch soch kar) isko ham maa ka naam denge..

Akash- thik he.. jesa tum kaho… (komal ke pet par hath rakh kar jo 2months pregnant thi) toh lage hath yebhi batado ki Aap ke is badmash bete ka kya naam rakhogi tum.

Komal-beta nahi hame ik pyari si beti hogi..

Akash- kya? Tum ne yeh achanak apna plan kyu badal diya tumhe toh beta chahiye thana..

Komal- ha par ab mujhe ik beti chahiye cute si pyari si jiska naam ham, (sochte huwe) hmm…. AKSHADA ha hsm AKASHDA naam rakhenge..
