Chapter:3

°°°°°

Back side par baitha woh apni gehri siyah aankhon se saamne baithi Ziniya ko dekh raha tha.

Larkiyon se woh zyada tar door hi rehta tha, lekin uska ek bhai date marta phir raha tha aur dusre pr larkiyan fida thi Socha kyun na woh bhi apne Liye Kuch kr leta.

Ziniya woh pehli larki thi jiske saamne dosti ka haath usne khud barhaya tha.

Unki dosti ko faqat teen din hi hue the aur yeh dosti kitne din rehni thi iska andaaza un dono mein se kisi ko nahin tha.

"Sta stargi deray khwage di."

"(Tumhari aankhein bohat pyari hain.)"

Gambheer lehje mein kehte hue usne hawa ke zor se apne maathe par bikharti latoon ko peeche ki taraf kiya.

Jise dekhte hue Ziniya ne wapas latein uske maathe par gira dein.

White high neck shirt ke saath blue jeans aur blue muffler gardan ke gird daale, maathe par bikharti latoon ke saath us waqt use Zarwan Khan is duniya ka sabse dilkash mard lag raha tha.

"Iska kya matlab hai?"

"Iska matlab hai tumhari aankhein bohat pyari hain. Nasheeli aankhein... insaan agar in mein doob jaye to use nashe ki talab hi mehsoos na ho."

"Aur tumhari awaaz bohat pyari hai. Insaan sune to bas sunta hi jaye."

Maarij ki awaaz par woh Ziniya ka haath chhorta jhatke se utha.

"Lala..."

"Haan bilkul."

"Kuch ghalat mat samajhiye ga. Main to bas ise Pashto sikha raha tha. Aap to jaante hain main larkiyon ko hamesha bahen ki nazar se dekhta hoon."

Uske kehne par Maarij ne ahishta se apna sar hilaya jaise Zarwan ki baat se usne ittefaq kiya ho.

Jabke uski baat sunte hi wahan baithi Ziniya apni jagah se uthti ghusse se use baatein sunati wahan se chali gayi.

"University ke back side par ek larki ke saath baithe tum uske haath mein haath daale use Pashto sikha rahe the?"

Maarij ki baat par usne jaldi se apna sar asbaat mein hilaya, lekin baat ka andaaza hote hi jaldi se apna sar nafi mein hilane laga.

"Nahin, woh haath to maine bas isliye pakra tha taake woh khud ko be-araam mehsoos na kare."

"Kya kehne hain tumhare Zarwan Khan hum to jaise bewaqoof hain."

Ashhad ki awaaz par woh ghoor kar use dekhne laga.

Yaqeenan yeh sab usi ki wajah se ho raha tha, warna Maarij ka kya kaam jo woh back side par aata.

Woh university sirf zaroorat ke tahat aata tha taake wahan kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho to us zaroorat ko poora kar de.

"Ashhad Khan, apna munh sirf gaate waqt khola karo."

"Mera munh meri marzi, jab bhi kholun."

"Kameene! Achhe se jaanta hoon Lala ko yahan par tu laya hai."

"Achha hai na, dekh lein unka Zarwan kaisa hai."

Un dono ke jhagrne par wahan khara Maarij bas gehra saans lekar reh gaya.

Unke mizaaj ko kabhi koi samajh nahin paaya tha.

Ek lamhe mein hi dost ban jaate to agle pal hi ek doosre ko maarne se bhi gurez na karte.

"Bas karo tum dono. Yeh batao teesra wala kahan hai?"

Uske kehne par woh dono ek doosre ki janib dekhne lage.

Labon par shararti muskurahat bikhri.

Khud woh dono pakre gaye the to phir teesre ko kaise chhor dete.

Maarij ki taraf dekhte hue un dono ne aik Sath kaha...

"Date par gaya hai."

°°°°°

Kalai mein pehni ghari mein time dekhte hue woh mazeed intezar karne ke bajaye ghusse se uthne lagi jab peeche se kisi ne gulaab ka phool uske saamne kiya.

Apni muskurahat daba kar bazahir khafgi se usne phool thaam liya.

Jab ek aur phool uske saamne kiya gaya aur is baar usne apni khilti muskurahat nahin roki.

Uske doosra gulaab thaamte hi is baar phoolon ka guldasta uske saamne kiya gaya jise thaamti woh mur kar use dekhne lagi.

Black jeans ke saath white high neck shirt pehne, saath hi apna black sweater kandhon par daale aur uski dono aasteenein aage ki taraf kiye woh apni siyah aankhon se muskurate hue use dekh raha tha.

"Waise to main naraz thi lekin aap ki is harkat ne meri narazgi door kar di, Ramish Khan."

"Aur wajah poochh sakta hoon naraz hone ki, Roha Arsal"

"Shaam ho rahi hai Ramish. Meri university ka time khatam hue bhi aadha ghanta guzar chuka hai aur main ghar jaane ke bajaye yahan baithi aap ka intezar kar rahi hoon."

Ek hi saans mein woh apni poori baat kehti chali gayi.

"Sorry, woh main..."

"Yeh mat kahiye ga class mein masroof the. Achhe se jaanti hoon aap ki koi class nahin thi."

"Mere baare mein sab khabar rakhti ho tum."

Gaal par haath rakhta woh muskurate hue dilchaspi se kehne laga.

"Ji haan rakhti hoon. Waise bhi aap se bas ek saal hi peeche hoon isliye na bhi rakhna chahoon to khabar mujhe mil hi jaati hai."

Uske kehne par Ramish khul kar hansa.

Roha uski junior thi jo pehle uski dost bani aur phir guzarte waqt ke saath mohabbat banti chali gayi.

Un dono ki pehli mulaqat university ke function mein hui thi.

Ek hi university mein parhne ke bawajood is se pehle woh ek doosre ka naam tak nahin jaante the aur ab ek doosre ke ilawa kisi ko nahin jaante the.

"Waise hum yahan kyun mil rahe hain?"

"Kyun ke main tum se akele mein milna chahta tha. Mana ke university mein hamari mulaqat ho jaati hai par wahan mere sar par do guards hamesha khare rehte hain jis ke baais main tum se theek se baat tak nahin kar pata."

Uska ishara apne bhaiyon ki taraf tha jo jahan use aur Roha ko saath baitha dekh lete wahin aa dhamakte.

"Ab aap ki aur meri mulaqat hogi phir kabhi kyun ke woh waqt aap zaya kar chuke hain jo maine aap ko diya tha aur ab mera ghar jaane ka waqt ho raha hai. Allah Hafiz."

Table se uth kar woh apne bag ke saath table par rakhe phool uthate hue kehne lagi.

"Roha, baith jao na."

Uski becharagi soorat par Rooha ne hanste hue uske baal bigaare.

"Achha kal to mil sakte hain na?"

Jaati Rooha ki kalai thaam kar woh bachon jaise andaaz mein poochhne laga.

"Ramish..."

"Pakka poore time par aaunga. mujhe tum se baatein karni hain, tumhare saath waqt guzarna hai. Kal hum milenge aur main koi bahana nahin sun raha. Agar koi bahana banaya to main bhi bina tumhari parhai ka khayal kiye tumhare ghar rishta lekar aa jaaunga."

"Achha Baba aa jaaungi, abhi to jaane dein."

Gehra saans lete hue usne Roha ki nazuk kalai apni girift se azaad ki jis ke baad woh chhote chhote qadam uthati wahan se jaane lagi aur wahan baitha Ramish bas uski pusht dekhta reh gaya.

Mobile ki bajti ringtone par usne pocket se mobile nikala.

Jahan Junaid ka paigham aaya hua tha.

Uska message dekhte hi woh zubaan daanton mein dabata jaldi se uthta university ki taraf bhaag gaya.

°°°°°

Bag kandhe par daale woh library se bahar nikla jab nazar bahar khare un teenon afraad par gayi.

"Lala, aap yahan kab aaye?"

Uski awaaz par Maarij ke saath saath woh dono bhi chonk kar uski janib dekhne lage.

Maarij ka to pata nahin par un dono ki aankhein hairat se bahar zaroor nikal aayi thin.

"Yeh to library mein tha lekin tum dono kya keh rahe the"

Un dono ki janib dekhta woh jatane wale andaaz mein poochhne laga.

"Lala, yeh sach mein date par gaya tha. Pata nahin yahan tak kaise aa gaya par yeh gaya tha."

Ashhad ne use yaqeen dilane ki koshish ki.

"Itna shareef Ramish Khan hai nahin, yeh baat main jaanta hoon. Par qanoon to saboot maangta hai aur filhaal Ramish beqasoor nikla hai. Ghalti nazar aa rahi hai to woh jo tum dono ne ki hai. Lekin main is baar tum logon par koi ghussa nahin kar raha. Ghussa karne se kaunsa tum log baaz aa jaoge. Is baar main tumhein chhoti si saza dene wala hoon."

"Chalein khair hai. Aap ki saza shayad aap ke ghusse jitni khatarnaak nahin hogi."

Zarwan itminaan bhara saans leta hanste hue kehne laga.

"Tumhari saza yeh hai ke ghar ka khana ek mahine tak tum dono banao ge."

"Kyaaa!"

un dono ki cheekh nikli.

Jabke wahan khare Ramish ne lab daba kar apni hansi zabt ki.

"Aur ek mahine tak tumhein koi jeb kharch nahin milega."

"Kyaaa!"

Is baar unki cheekh pehle se zyada tez hui jise nazarandaz karta woh wahan se chala gaya.

Uske jaane ke baad woh dono ghusse se khaultay mutmain khare Ramish ke paas aaye.

"Yahan kya kar raha hai tu?"

"Haan, humein to keh kar gaya tha Roha se milne ja raha hoon."

"Woh main date par gaya tha, par Junaid mera bhi dost hai to usi ne mujhe Lala ke baare mein bata diya jis ke baad main bhaagta hua university wapas aa gaya. Waise bhi paas wale restaurant mein hi to gaya tha. Aur main baad mein zaroor tumhari kahani sununga kyun ke is waqt tum dono ke iraade mujhe theek nahin lag rahe."

Apni baat keh kar woh jald hi wahan se bhaag gaya aur uske bhaagte hi woh dono bhi uske peeche bhaag gaye.

Kehne ko woh teenon triplets the lekin qad aur aankhon ke rang ke ilawa un teenon mein koi cheez mushabihat nahin rakhti thi.

Woh teenon ek doosre ke dost, dushman, bhai, behen sab kuch the aur unhein mukammal karta tha Maarij Khan.

Jis ne baap ke guzar jaane ke baad apni har khwahish ko daba kar unhein ek baap ban kar paala aur unki har khwahish poori ki.

Daant, pyaar, khafgi, shikayat, laad...

Maarij ne unhein bilkul apne bachon ki tarah paala tha aur uske pyaar aur khuloos ki woh teenon dil se qadr karte the.

Maarij ne apni zindagi mein aaj tak kisi cheez ki koi khwahish nahin ki thi.

Uske dil ne pehli baar kisi ki khwahish ki thi...

Woh thi...

Heer Basit.
