ishhq aatish by Sadia rajpoot

kon kehta hai zindagi samjhi aur samjhai nahi ja sakti.

jabkey murda jismon se bharey qabristan qudrat ki universities hain.

aur do gaz zameen taley daba har shakhs zindagi ka professor.

to phir aisa kyun hota hai ke hum peda hotay hain, mar jatay hain.

par jee nahi paate ke hum ne to bas waqt ko jeena seekha hai.

zindagi ko to hum ne kabhi jiya hi nahi.

aur jab yahi waqt hamarey paas khatam ho jata hai to sochte hain ke

hum jo Umar bhar waqt ke ktabche mein naffa o nuqsaan darj karte rahay to

woh kon sa pemana tha.

jo is naap toal ke kaam aaya?

aur kya koi aisa formula bhi hai

jo bta sakay ke naffa faiday ke siwa kuch bhi nahi aur nuqsaan to knees nuqsaan hi day sakta hai.

jabkay sach to yeh hai ke zindagi naffa deti hi kab hai?

yeh to soda hi ghatay ka hai.

hum to Adab mein bohat aaraam se they phir is zindagi ke hathon wujood mein badal kar is mutazaad duniya mein aaye.

yani azmaish mein daaley gaye aur azmaish mein nah to munafe ki umeed hoti hai aur nah nuqsaan ki.

magar hairat hai phir bhi hum khasaray ki fehrist muratab karte rahay .

zindagi ko to jaisa guzarna tha,

waisay hi guzar jati kam az kam waqt rukhsat yeh khalish to nah hoti ke hum ne jo nuqsaan ka khata band kar diya hota to shayad zindagi kuch sahal ho jati.

magar hum samajte hi nahi aur waqt hai ke khatam hota jata hai.

kabhi dosrey ka to kabhi hamara.

sadiiyon se yahi khail khela ja raha hai. hum atey hain.

syed he raastoon ko khud -apne liye paicheeda banatey hain aur yeh kehte guzar jatey hain.

ab jo dekhen to koi aisi badi baat nah thi yeh shab o roz, mah o saal ka pur paich safar qadray aasaan bhi ho sakta tha.

hum zara dheyaan se chaltey to woh ghar jis ke dar o baag pay weerani hai

jis ke har taaq par rakhi hui herani hai

jis ki har subah mein shaamon ki pareshani hai is mein hum chain se abad bhi ho satke they.

ab jo dekhe to bohat saaf nazar ate hein.saaray manzar bhi,

pas manzar bhi lekin is der khayaali ka sila kya hoga.

woh jo hona tha huwa, ho bhi chuka line kat ti rahi,

lafz badalney ke sabab haasil Umar yahi chand adhoorey khakey koi tasweer mukammal nahi honey payi

Maliha Farooqi 26 May 1977

woh haath mein bookey pakde.

ajnabi cheharon ke darmiyan kisi shanasa chehrey ko dhoond rahi thi.

ke kisi ne iska naam puraka. tanya !

woh mudi aur aawaz ki taraf dekh kar josh se haath hilaya.

Faiza" dono ne aik dosrey ki simt qadam bhadhaye aur qareeb aney par galey lag gayeen.

bhai ki engagement bohot bohot mubarak ho." taaniya ne alag hote hue kaha.

thanx. faiza ne muskura kar mubarakbaad qubool ki .

chalo tumhe apni hone wali bhabhi se milwau. phir tanya ka haath pakad kar stage par chadh gayi.

tanya ne faiza ke bhai ko wish kar ke iske sath baithi saji sawri aur kuch sharmayi si ladki ko bookey paish kya.

aur phir chand jumlon ke tabadley ke baad faiza ke sath hi stage se utar gayi .

tumhari Mummy nazar nahi aarhi"

Abhi to yahi thi. faiza ne idhar udhar nazrein dodatey hue kaha.

phir taniya ko liye age badh gayi.

suno !" Taniya ne usey mukhatib kya jo chaltey chaltey ruk kar mehmanon se haal ahwaal bhi daryaft karti ja rahi thi.

hann! faiza ne iski taraf dekh kar kaha.

woh nahi aaya?

" kon? kis ki baat kar rahi ho?

" woh muskurahat daba kar anjaan bantey hue boli.

tumahrey cousin ki.

tanya ne sanjeedgi se kaha.

faiza mustaqil shararat ke mood mein thi. mere to sabhi cousin yahan hain.

faiza ki laa parwai urooj par thi.

mein Shayan ka pooch rahi hoon.

bil akhir tanya ne chidh kar kaha.

acha to yun kaho na.

iske ban kar bolney par taniya ne usey haath maar diya.

maar kyun rahi ho ?. bas aata hi hoga. waisey bhi iski police training hi khatam hui hai, abhi posting ke orders nahi aaye. aur aisey farigh bande ke liye dawat udaney se achi kya masrufiyat ho sakti hai?

" baat khatam karte hi woh peechey hati kahin taniya,

Shayan ki himayat mein usey aik thapad aur na dey marein.

tanya ne usey ghoora phir qasqad nazar andaaz karte hue poocha.

aik baat to batao?" pucho!

Shayan kis rishte se tumhara cousin hai? "

Asal mein meri mummy Shayan ki mother ki cousin hain."

Achhaa." sar hilaate hue taniya ne samney dekha to iski nazar designer suit mein malbos Shayan ke daraaz qaamat wujood par padi.

isne faiza ko pakad kar jhinjodh diya. Shayan agaya.

"shukar hai. nahi to tum mujhe maar dalti"

bako mat !

" kya ho raha hai? woh paas aakar bola.

tumahrey anay ki khushi mein taniya mera gala dabaney wali hai.

faiza be chaargi se boli.

Shayan ne pehley uski shakal dekhi phir taniya ki jis ke dono haath peechey se faiza ke shaanon par they.

taniya ne dekh kar -apne haath hataye aur zor se usey dhakka dey kar boli. Dafaa ho jao "

haan ho rahi hoon.

waisey bhi tum jaise kababon ki haddi banney mein apna hi nuqsaan hai.

aur haan! " jatay jatay woh boli.

" yahan se hilna mat.

mein mummy ko le kar aati hoon.

" woh chali gayi to Shayan ne muskurahat daba kar poocha.

" kya tum waqai is ko maar rahi thi?

" " be kar ki baatein mat karo.

tanya bura muh bana kar boli.

tumhe nahi pata,

usey acting karne ka kitna shoq hai

Taniya " kuch pal ki khamoshi ke baad Shayan ne usey pukara to woh sir utha kar usey dekhney lagi.

aik baat kahoon? "

" kaho" shoulder cut balon ko chehrey se hata kar woh sanjeedgi se iski taraf mutwajjah ho kar boli.

to woh dheere se muskura kar bola.

pehli baar tumhe yun sajey sanwre roop mein dekh raha hoon.

achi lag rahi ho.

" woh pazal ho gayi. waqai woh hamesha bohat saada se holiye mein raha karti thi. apni taraf se khasi laa parwa.

lekin aaj khilaaf e mamool hai

Ambroide ke shifone ke shlwar kameez mein dupatta kaandhon par daaley halkay make up ke sath matching jewellery pehney kaafi mukhtalif lag rahi thi. aur to aur aaj baal bhi baind ki qaid se azaad shahnoh par lehra rahey they.

Shayan ke is qadrey direct jumley par halaa k woh bas aik pal ko hi gadh badayi thi, phir bhi mehzoo si hansi hans kar taniya ne khafgi se iski simt dekha.

" kya yahi kehna tha? woh foran boli .

nahi kehna to kuch aur hai.

par socha tumhari thodi si tareef kar doon.

suna hai ladkiyon ko apni tareef bohat achi lagti hai.

phir unse jo bhi kaha jaye woh to foran Maan jati hain.

" tumhe kya manwana hein?

Shayan ki baat se qiyaas laga kar isne abroo uchuka kar poocha.

kuch bhi kehne se pehley woh kuch pal chup raha jaisey alfaaz tarteeb dey raha ho.

phir dheere dheere bolne laga.

Taniya! mein nahi jaanta,

mein ne kab is tarhan se sochna shuru kya magar yeh baat mere dil mein bohat arsey se thi.

bas kabhi kaha nahi.

socha munasib waqt aney par tum se kahunga.

kuch lamhey khamoshi se sirak gaye. waqt pata nahi munasib hai ya nahi magar mein ab aur intzaar nahi kar sakta.

apni baat ke aakhir mein isne Taniya ki taraf dekha jo aik tak usey hi dekh rahi thi.

Shayan ka ghambeer lehja,

sehar zada alfaaz aur aankhon ka walehana pan.

tanya ko laga, Shayan aaj woh sab keh dega jisey suneney ki khwahish teen saal se iske dil mein thi!

Taniya mein tum se?

excuse me plzzzz faiza ki taiz aawaz se tilsam toot gaya aur woh dono chounk kar uski taraf mudhey jo qadrey bhaari jasamat waley magar grace full mard ka haath pakde unki taraf aati door se hi chillayi thi.

Mummy to busy hain,

magar dekho mein papa ko le aayi hoon. " woh boltey hue unke paas aakar ruki, phir taaruf karwaaney lagi.

tanya! inse milo. yeh mere papa hain. "

phir tanya ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha.

Or papa! yeh meri best friend Taniya Farooqi hai most eligible businessman noor ul huda Farooqi ki beti.

hum dono MBA classes mein sath sath they.

faiza ki baat par woh buri terhan chokey." tum noor ul huda ki beti ho ?

" jee "

noor ul huda Farooqi ek mashhoor shakhsiyat they

aur aksar tanya ke bataney par unke hawaley par log choank kar.

yeh sawal karte they,

is liye tanya ne kuch khaas notice nahi liya.

" kya aap mere papa ko jantey hain?

" inhe kon nahi jaanta? ab woh sambhal kar bol rahe they.

He is the leading industry list of the country. aur last wo ekk business magazine mein jo unka interview chhapa tha, kamaal ka tha.

woh bohat se logon ke liye inspiration hain.

any way MBA to complete ho gaya,

ab kya kar rahi ho? " -apne papa ki tareef par usey fitri tor par khushi ho rahi thi.

unki baat ke jawab mein woh muskura kar boli. papa ka office join kar liya hai.

" good" woh khush dili se bole. okey beta! mujhe kuch aur mehmanon ko bhi waqt dena hai.

tum log enjoy karoo woh na qabil feham andaaz mein muskuratey hue chaley gaye to Taniya ko yak dam se

Shayan ka khayaal aaya.

woh palti, magar wahan koi nahi tha.

isne taizi se nazrain dodhayi magar Shayan kahi nazar nahi aaya.

kya baat hai?

" faiza ne usey kuch dhoondtey pakar poocha.

Shayan abhi to yahin tha.

kahan chala gaya? "

arrey haan.

yeh achanak kahan gayab ho gaya?

Taniya usski baat ko un suni karte hue Shayan ki talaash mein gate tak aayi

to usne Shayan ko hall se bahar jate dekha .

Shayan ! baat suno "

woh be sakhta pukaari

magar Shayan ne jaise suna hi nah ho

aur bahar nikalta chala gaya.

tanyia uske peechey lapki magar jab woh bahar aayi,

Shayan apni bike par baith kar ja chuka tha.

is khayaal ne tanya ko aazurda kar diya ke woh kuch kahe baghair hi chala gaya tha.

woh kitni hi der andherey mein be hiss o harkat khadi rahi.

woh kab se Shayan ke mobile par call karne ki koshish kar rahi thi

magar doosri taraf phone band tha.

aajao" darwazey par dastak ki aawaz sun kar is ne buland aawaz mein be zaari se kaha aur phir se mobile par number milaye .

jee mumma" darwaaza khol kar apni mamma ko andar atey dekh kar isne mobile neechey kar diya.

do baar Khadija ko tumhe bulaney ke liye bhej chuki hoon.

aakar khana to kha lo taniya unhon ne usey sarznish ki.

aap chalein. mein bas thodi der mein aati hoon. woh zich ho rahi thi.

aakhir Shayan ne mobile of kyun kya hai?

jab se office se aayi ho,

phone se chipak kar baithi ho.

aakhir kis ko phone kar rahi ho?

" ek dost ko, jis idiot ne parso se apna mobile band rakha huwa hai.

aur mein isse bhi badi idiot hu jo baar baar iska number try kar rahi hoon.

mobile se nazar hataye baghair taniya ne kaha aur dobara number Dial karne lagi to mamma ne agey badh kar mobile iske haath se le kar side table par rakh diya.

phone baad mein bhi ho sakta hai.

ab chalo tumahrey papa intzaar kar rahe hain.

"papa aagaye?

woh goad mein rakha takiya bed par rakh kar uth gayi.

haan. aur tum paanch minute mein neeche aajao.

warna mein tumahre papa ko bhejti hoon. woh dhamki amaiz andaaz mein keh kar kamre se chali gayi.

to tanya ne bhi fatafat mun haath dhoya aur baal clip mein jakad kar neechey dinning room mein aa gayi aur kursi ghaseet kar baithte hue noor ul huda se kaha .

kya baat hai papa!

aaj aap 9 bajey hi ghar par nazar arhey hain .

bas beta! ghadi ne dhoka dey diya.

warna mein to 12 bajne ke baad hi ghar aaya tha. shayad ataaq gayi hai. "

tanya ke shararti andaaz mein poochney par woh sanjeedgi se bolte hue aakhir mein yun ungli se kalayi par bandhi ghadi ko thonkney lagey jaisey ghadi waqai atak gayi ho.

table par apni nigrani mein khana lagaatein mein maryam Farooqi ne unki baat suni to unke mazaaq ko samajh kar khafki se boli

kyun? 12 baje se pehle ghar aney par pabandi hai?

maze se hansti taniya ne ek dam muh par haath rakh kar hasi roki aur mehfooz andaaz mein noor ul huda ki taraf dekhne lagi jo pehle jaisi sanjeedgi se bole.

nahi! lekin pabandi to 12 bajey ke baad aney par bhi nahi hai.

tanya ki hansi chhuut gayi.

to maryam sulag kar zor se boli.

bahadur! pani ab tak table par nahi pouncha.

tanya ne unke ghusse ko mehsoos karke kaha. bas papa!

ab kheriyat isi mein hai ke chup kar ke khana kha le warna aap ko mumma se zabardast daant par sakti hai.

"mashwara to bohat acha hai taniya!

par baat yeh hai ke tumhari mumma ko mujhe dantna pasand hai.

aur mujhe unse daant sunna. "

noor ul huda! khana thanda ho raha hai. unke tanbayi andaaz mein tokne par

noor ul huda ne badii farmaa bardari se samne rakhi plate mein salan dala

aur chapatiyo ke liye haath badhaya.

tumahre sahabzadey nazar nahi arhe. kahan hain ?

" wahan." maryam ne samne rakhe TV ki taraf ishara kya,

jis par Pakistan India cricket match live tally cast ho raha tha.

noor ul huda aur taniya ne aik sath TV ki taraf dekha aur taniya hairat se boli.

TV mein?

" TV mein nahi stadium mein.

doston ke sath match dekhney gaye hain. jawab dey kar woh taniya ki plate mein saalan nikaalne lagi jis ki plate ab tak khaali thi.

dada jaan bhi sath gaye hain ?

" taniya ne poocha .

woh -apne kamre mein hain.

aaj phir depration ka dora pada hai. subah se darwaaza band kar ke baithey hain. kitni baar unka darwaaza baja chuki hoon magar woh koi jawab hi nahi dey rahey.

dada jaan ke is tarz amal ke sabhi aadi the aur ab to koi knons bhi nahi karta tha. maryam ne bina kisi tashweesh ke ittila di aur apni plate mein khana nikaal kar khane lagi.

noor ul huda bhi kisi ta-assur ke baghair khana kha rahe the.

lekin taniya ne samne rakhe khane ko haath bhi nahi lagaya.

pata nahi dada jaan ko aik dam se kya ho jata hai?

kyun khud ko kamre mein band kar lete hain?

phir agle kayi dinon tak inhen kisi cheez ka hosh nahi rehta.

paapa! aap ko pata hai dada jaan aisa kyun karte hain?

afsurdagi se khud kalami karte hue aakhir woh noor ul huda se poochney lagi.

khana khate hue aik pal ko noor ul huda ka haath ruka,

phir woh talkhi se bole.

honge Umar rafta ke kuch zakham jo be akal kardete honge.

is Umar mein yun bhi aadmi ke paas pachtane ke liye bohat kuch hota hai.

taniya ko unka andaaz aur unki baat dono hi nagawaar guzre.

woh apni jagah se uth khad hui.

mein dada jaan ko le kar aati hoon. unhon ne subah se kuch nahi khaya hoga." phir kisi ki taraf dekhe baghair wahan se chali gayi.

phir kisi ki taraf dekhe baghair

wahan se chali gayi .

launch mein dayen aur baen dono janib seedhiyan thi.

dayen taraf ki seedhiyan oopar manzil ke corridor se juri thi.

jabkey baen janib ki seedhiyan basment mein jati thi.

jahan study se mulhiq kushadah library thi.

basement ki unhi seedhiyon ke aik janib azhar Farooqi ka kamra tha.

taniya ki kayi baar ki dastako ke baad bhi andar se koi jawab na aaya!

darwaaza kholiyen dada jaan !

" magar andar hanooz khamoshi ka raaj tha.

mein aap ko lane aayi hoon aur liye baghair nahi jaoon gi.

" jawab ndarid.

theek hai!

aap ko darwaaza nahi kholna

to nah khole.

mein bhi yahi darwazey ke paas hi baithi rahongi.

" aur phir woh sach much darwazey ke paas deewar se tek laga kar baith gayi.

agle kuch aur palon ki khamoshi ke baad halki si click ki aawaz ke sath darwaaza khul gaya.

tanya ne sar utha kar dekha to azhar Farooqi zara sa darwaaza khol kar chehra bahar nikaley usey dekh rahe they .

andar aajao." itna keh kar woh darwaaza khula chodh kar wapas mud gaye.

taniya unki aur andar

kamre mein chali gayi.

betho! unhon ne taniya se

bethney ko kaha to tanya ko mehsoos huwa jaise unki aawaz rondi hui hai.

unke chere par bhi aansun ke nishan the. ankhen jhuka rakhi thi phir bhi taniya ko andaza tha ke woh surkh ho rahi hongi .

har baar ki qaid tanhai ke baad unki haalat aise hi dgrgon huwa karti thi.

phir bhi taniya ko ajeeb laga.

woh retired cornal they

aur unki barob shakhsiyat se

Jah pasandi tapakti thi.

Satattar baras ki Umar mein bhi unki sehat qabil rashk thi.

kuch saloon se blood pressure ke masley ke siwa unko kabhi koi pareshani nahi hui. Albata Umar ki zayadti ki wajah se unke shaney qadray jhuk gaye they magar unke roab, muradney aur shakhsiyat se ye aksar mukhtalif tanya ne hamesha inhen naram mizaaj hi paaya tha.

unki kad kadhkadhati bhaari aawaz taniya ne hamesha sargoshiyon jaisi dheemi hi suni thi.

go malaal ki aik mustaqil kefiyat unke surkh or safed chehrey ki makin thi

phir bhi taniya ko woh chattaan ki terhan mazboot laga karte they.

magar is waqt to woh be had kamzor aur siakasta dikhayi dey rahay thay.

taniya dil hi dil mein Ulajhti bed ke koney par tik gayi.

woh aahista khrami se chaltey aatish daan ke paas kursi ke sath rakhi

tapai tak aaye. is par khuli padi.

red cover ki diary uthai aur isi terhan chalte study table tak aagaye.

diary ko daraaz mein rakh kar

daraaz ko lock kya aur chaabi haath mein le li phir taniya ko mukhatib kiye baghair kaha .

mein fresh ho kar aata hoon.

aur kamrey mein baney attached baath room mein chaley gaye.

tanya ne ghair dilchaspi se yahan wahan sar ghumaya,

phir thodhee ke neechey haath rakh kar aatish daan ke oopar lagi tasweer ko dekhne lagi.

kuch hi der baad azhar Farooqi

baath room ka darwaaza khol kar kamre mein aagaye.

aao chalein. unhon ne kaha.

tanya foran uth khadi hui .

sath sath dono ko dinning room ke darwazey se aata dekh kar noor ul huda ka muh ki taraf jata haath wahi ruk gaya

unhone niwala plate mein rakha aur ajeeb si nazron se azhar Farooqi ko dekhney lagey.

kursi khech kar inhen bithate hue taniya ne -apne papa ko dekha to thitak gayi.

doosri taraf noor ul huda ne iski nigahon ko mehsoos kar ke ankhen jhukate hue plate se niwala utha kar muh mein rakha magar usey nighalney ke liye inhen pani ka sahara lena pada tha.

tanya qasdan inhen nazar andaaz kar ke khud bhi baith gayi.

azhar Farooqi ki plate mein khana nikalte hue itratein hue maryam se kaha .

dekha mamma!

mein ne kaha to dada jaan foran aagaye. dada jaan kabhi meri baat taall hi nahi satke.

" par jiski manni chahiye thi,

Uski to unhon ne kabhi nahi maani.

" noor ul huda ke lehjey ki turshi ko dono maa beti ne mehsoos kiya tha magar is ghar ke ghair elania qawaneen mein

aik qanoon yeh bhi tha ke un baap bete ke muamley mein koi kabhi nahi bolega.

so woh dono to khamosh rahi

magar dada jaan ke haath mein pakda pani ka glass chhalak pada tha.

taniya ne foran unke haath par haath rakha aur glass unke honton se laga diya. pani ka ghoont bhartey hue azhar Farooqi ki ankhen dubduba gayi thi.

khanay ke baad woh -apne kamrey mein sone ke liye aayi to mobile dekh kar

usey Shayan ka khayaal aaya.

bed par nind daraaz hote hue

isne Shayan ko phone kya magar

uska sale phone hasb sabiq band tha.

bas bohat ho gaya.

ab dobarah try nahi karoongi.

" isne mobile takiye par patkha

aur dhap se late gayi.

par subah sab kuch bhulae

woh phir se shaan ka number try karti rahi .

faiza plzzzz mein pareshan ho gayi hoon. pehle to usne phone band kar rakha tha aur ab call to jati hai magar woh phone nahi utha raha.

" aik to taniya tum na zara zara si baat par pareshan ho jati ho.

" yeh zara si baat hai?

woh bhadak gayi.

pichlle do hafton se

mein pagalon ki terhan

usey call mila rahi hoon

aur woh janab phone hi nahi utha rahe.

" bhayi ho sakta hai wo busy ho.

faiza ne usey thanda karna chaha par woh aur bhi bhadak gayi.

baithey bethaye ASP sahab ne aisi kya masrufiyat ijaad kar li hai jo phone nahi utha satke?

ab ke faiza bhi zich ho kar boli.

Apne papa ko to aajaney do!

Unke tokney par wo

talkh se lehjey mai boli 29 nov ke din.

papa ki wapsi 2 3 bje se phle nhi hoti.

Magar babajaan toh har bar

unka puchtey hein.

Thik hai cake ni katenge

khana to kha saktey hein.

Usne bola akhir unki bat

maan kar Kahan.

phir Azhar farooqi ko bulane chli gayi.

darwazein par halki si dastak ke bad jawab na Mila to.

Taniya ne hath rkha gate ki or darwaza khulta chla gaya.

kamrein m hlki sard roshni mai

Taniya ney andar jhaaka to nigah sidhi kadi Mai tass ke Bane gase se jalene wale aatishdan par lagi tasveer par padhi or hamesha ki tarah.

Taniya ko wo tasweer

saas leti hui mehsoos hui ,

Azhar farooqi aatishdan k smne

rocking chair par

bnd akhon ke sath neend daraz they!

Red dairy band unke seene pe rakhi hui thi or dusra hath bejaan andaaz mein unke sunhere frame ki

aynak ko padle god mai dhara tha!

Aatishdan Roshan tha or kamrein mai pheli zard roshni usi se nikl Rahi thi

jisme mohal ko pura israar bna diya tha.

Taniya ney ahista se darwaza band kiya or dabe kadmo chaltiwi

unke samne carpet par Beth gayi.

Unhe awz detewe wo hich kicha Rahi thi kyuki khi wo so na rahe ho!

phir kuch soch kar isne

apna haath unke ghutney par rakh diya.

carnal azhar Farooqi

bohat zor se chokey the.

yeh andaaz to kisi ki pehchan tha.

unhon ne tadap kar apni ankhen khol di.

magar inhen dikhayi hi nahi diya.

taniya ne inhen ankhen kholta dekh kar kuch kaha tha.

magar inhen kuch sunai hi nahi diya.

unki ankhen kisi aur hi

manzar mein ualajh gayi thi.

unke kaan us aawaz ko sun rahe the

jisay aik baar " aur sun lene ki khwahish barson se unke dil mein thi.

tanya ke aik gair iraadi amal ne inhen bohat peechey dhakel diya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ maazi!

Happy birthday two you happy birth day two you happy birth day dear baaba.

aatish daan ke samne rocking chair par neem daraaz azhar Farooqi ne.

uski gungunati aawaz bhi suni thi.

aur uska -apne qadmon

mein baithna bhi mehsoos kya tha.

lekin phir bhi woh ankhen band kiye us pal ka intzaar karte rahe.

jab woh inki saari thakan samaitt lete.

aur phir usne bohat aahista se

unke ghatney par haath rakh diya.

azhar Farooqi ne dheere se ankhen khol kar aasmani rang ke kapron mein

malbos uss aasman ki pari ko dekha

jis ke chehre ke gird bikhare lambe sunehri mael ghany baal.

raat aur chaand ka aks lag rahe the.

woh dheere se muskura diye.

woh khilkhila kar hans padi .

happy birth day baba jaan!

thank you beta!

woh bole aur shikayat karne lagey." tareekh badalney mein ab bas chand minute hi baqi hain.

ab ja kar baap ko

wish karne ka khayaal aaya hai?

" sorry baba jaan!

magar mujhe yaad tha.

bas haadi bhai ka intzaar kar rahi thi

ke woh ajaye to

cake sath mein hi katenge.

bolte hue woh zara sa

tapai ki taraf khisak gayi.

aur cake par lagi candle ko

jalane ke liye maachis uthali.

azhar Farooqi ne sawal kya.

noor ul hdi abhi nahi aaya ?

" nahi. "

to phir usey aajane do.

" maachis jalatey uske haath wahi ruk gaye.

Baaba jaan! baara to bas

bajne hi waley hain.

aur saalgirah to apni

tareekh par hi achi lagti hai.

" magar intzaar kar

laine mein koi harj nahi.

apni baat keh kar woh uthey

aur khidki ke sath rakhey

study table par tarteeb se

rakhi kitabon mein se

aik kitaab utha kar uske waraq palatnay lagey.

aur woh chup ki ho gayi.

phir isne unglio mein dabi maachis ki teeli ko jalaya aur jab raqs karte

nanhe se sholey ka aks iski aankhon mein chamakney laga.

to phoonk maar kar

maachis bhujatey woh uthh gayi.

aur sath hi tapai par se

cake ki plate bhi uthali.

-apne nazar andaaz kiye jane par iske chehrey se jhalakti takleef.

jisey woh aaj -apne dil mein

mehsoos kar rahi thi,

uss din unhon ne dekhi bhi nahi thi. woh darwaze tak bhi na pohanchi thi ke horn ki taiz aawaz sunai di.

haadi bhai aagaye.

" keh kar isne plate wapas rakhi

aur bahar ki taraf daud gayi.

bhagte hue laonj se guzar kar

woh entries dor ki taraf badhi.

theek usi waqt noor ul huda

darwaaza khol kar andar aney lagey aur samney se aati ladki se takra gaye.

aur isse pehley ke woh inhen sath le kar doosri taraf ja girte,

khud ko sambhaalte hue noor ul huda ne usey bhi sambhaal liya .

arrey bhayi aaraam se gir jao gi.

usey khud se alag karte hue woh bole."

Buy the way agar tumhara iradah olympics mein hissa lene ka hai,

tab bhi daud kar grace jane ki kya zaroorat hai?

" usey khajal sa chode kar woh laonj ki seedihoon ki taraf badh gaye.

to woh peeche se boli. haadi bhai!

ap kahan ja rahe hain?

" apne kamre mein.

woh palat kar bole .

jee nahi! paas aakar unka baazu thaamte hue boli.

aap mere sath chal rahey hain.

" tumhara is waqt outing ka programme hai?

woh ghabra kar bole.

halaan k woh thak chuke the aur foran sona chahte the.

phir bhi unke lehjey mein uktahat ki bajaye wohi narmi thi jo is ladki ke liye makhsoos thi.

nahi bhayi! baba jaan ke paas

chalne ko keh rahi hoon.

woh kab se aap ka intzaar kar rahe hain.

" baba jaan abhi tak jaag rahe hain? woh choank kar bole.

iska matlab aaj to der se aney par daant padhegi. "

aur padni bhi chahiye! magar is waqt baba jaan aap ki class lene ke liye nahi balke apna birth day celebrate karne ke liye aapka intzaar kar rahe hain.

" arrey haan aaj to 29 November hai." woh sar par haath maar kar bole.

phir iski taraf dekh kar kaha.

" agar mein bhool hi gaya tha to tum mujhe yaad nahi kara sakti thi?

" excuse me!woh bura maan kar kehne lagi. aap to har saal bhool jate hain.

hamesha mujhe hi yaad karana padta hai. warna khud se aap ko apna birth day bhi yaad na rahe.

" okey okey " woh jaldi se bole.

yeh jhagda baad mein dekhenge.

abhi baba jaan ke paas chalo.

" phir uske kaandhon par baazu phela kar sath liye woh baba jaan ke kamre mein aagayi.

aayiyae barkhordar!

kab se aap ka intzaar hai.

baba jaan inhen dekhte hi bole.

Happy birth day baba noor ul huda baazu par dala coat bed par uchaal kar unse baghal geer ho gaye.

" sorry baba jaan! is baar mein bhool gaya. unse alag hote, usey kan ankhiyon se dekh kar woh usey chedhney ke liye bolein.

ussne muuh phula kar rukh phair liya

chalein bathein. Unhen sofe par bithate hue unnki nazar cake par padi to palat kar cake ki plate aur maachis uttha kar sofe par aa baithe.

plate table par rakh kar unhon ne moom battii jalayi

aur cake katne ki churee utha kar

baba jaan ko pakdai.

phir usey dekh kar bole.

wahan kyun khadi ho ?

idhar aao. " aur woh aakar baba jaan ke doosri taraf baith gayi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ end!

dada jaan! cake kaat le!

" kya? "

baba! bache cake katne ko keh rahe hain. " abke zara dheyaan se unhon ne -apne aas paas dekha.

taniya haath mein churee liye

muntazir sey unke sath baithi thi.

jabkey maryam doosri taraf thi.

aur umair, uzair samney baithy the.

sab ki taraf dekh kar poocha.

noor ul huda nahi aaya? "

nahi! aur ab to baara bajne waley hain dada! cake kaat lijiye haan.

aur saalgirah to apni tareekh par hi achi lagti hai.

" tanya ki baat par barson pehle kisi ka kaha jumla shikasta andaaz mein unke lab se ada huuwa tha .

yaad e maazi azaab hai ya rab!

chean le mujh se Hafza mera!

itwaar ka din tha.

faiza kuch der pehle jaagi thi.

aur abhi nashtey se farigh hi hui thi ke usey mulazma ne taniya ki aamad ke bare mein bataya.

woh foran hi dinnig room mein chali aayi.

" mujhe Shayan ke ghar le chalo"

salam dua ke baad jo pehli baat taniya ne kaha, woh yahi thi.

woh gadh bada gayi.

phir sambhal kar boli .

tum betho! chaye aati hogi.

phir baat karte hain.

" Usne faiza ka baazu girift

mein lekar kaha.

faiza! mujhe Shayan se milna hai.

abhi aur isi waqt.

" faiza ne gehra saans khechte hue

usey -apne sath utha liya.

usey tense hotey dekh kar taniya ne poocha. kya baat hai?

Shayan Karachi mein nahi hai.

" tawaquf ke baad woh phir boli.

uski posting ho chuki hai aur teen din pehle woh apna charge sambhalne

Sukhar ja chuka hai.

" taniya ke liye yeh ittila is qadar ghair mutawaqqa thi.

ke woh kaafi der tak

kuch bol hi nah saki.

bohat der ki khamoshi ke baad usne

be yakeeni se kaha.

woh mujh se miley baghair chala gaya?

phir ussne shaaki nazron se

faiza ko dekha.

aur tum ne bhi mujhe anjaan rakha."

mujhe aisa karna pada.

woh jaldi se safai dete hue boli.

" Jawad ki engagement ke dosre hi din

uski posting ke order aagaye they.

magar Shayan ne mujhe mana kar diya ke tumhe na batau.

phir jab mein ne isse kaha ke tum isse baat karna chahti ho to usne kaha ke woh tum se baat nahi kar sakta.

pata nahi kyun?

magar mujhe woh kaafi up set

lag raha tha.

faiza chup hui to tanya ne kaha.

baat nahi kar sakta?

magar kyun?

aisa to kuch bhi nahi huwa ke woh mujh se baat bhi nah kere.

tum ne usse poocha nahi,

woh aisa kyun kar raha hai?

" tanya ab bhi hairan thi.

faiza se iski taraf dekha hi nahi gaya.

sar jhuka kar boli.

poocha tha.

lekin uss ne kuch bataya hi nahi.

to mein ne socha shayad tum dono mein an ban ho gayi hogi.

"hmare beech to kuch bi nahi huwa.

tanya ne foran tardeed ki.

Impossible faiza ne maan-ne se

inkaar kar diya.

" kuch to baat hui ho gi.

bina kisi baat ke woh talluq kyun khatam kere ga?

Usne tum se kuch to kaha hoga.

" yaqeen karo faiza!

koi baat hui hi nahi.

woh pareshan si ho kar chup ho gayi.

phir jaise yaad ane par boli.

lekin engagement wale din woh

mujh se kuch kehna chahta tha.

" kya? " faiza ko tajassus huwa.

pata nahi. tanya ne jaan boojh kar yeh baat chupali ke iske khayaal mein Shayan uss din ussey propose karne wala tha.

woh kehne hi wala tha.

ke tum aur uncle wahan aagaye.

phir woh koi baat kiye baghair achanak hi chala gaya.

woh ruki phir talkh si hansi ke sath boli. woh to hamesha hi kuch kahe baghair chala jata hai.

" mulazma isi waqt chaye ki trolly ke sath andar aayi to dono chup kar gayeen. mulazma ke jane ke baad faiza ne chaye ka cupp utha kar tanya ke haath mein pakdatey hue kehna shuru kya.

par tanya tum Shayan ki taraf se pehal ka intzaar kyun karti rahin?

khud se kyun nah keh diya?

dono hathon se cupp pakdte woh be basi se boli.

" kaisay keh deti?

jabkey mein yeh bhi nahi janti ke

woh mujh se mohabbat karta bhi hai ya nahi ?

" tum to us se mohabbat karti hona.

kya yeh kaafi nahi hai?

" tanya ne kuch kahe baghair cupp table par rakha aur khadi ho gayi.

" mein ab chalungi.

" faiza ne use rokna chaha lekin

woh thahri hi nahi.

faiza ussey bahar tak chod ne aayi.

tanya car ka darwaaza kholne ke liye ki holle mein chaabi daal rahi thi,

jab isne faiza ko kehte suna.

aik baat manogi taniya agar

woh nahi kehta to tum keh do.

aur agar nahi keh sakteen to is intzaar ko khatam kar ke agey badh jao.

kab tak is pool Siraat par khadi rahogi? takleef mein rahogi.

ya to hatt jao ya guzar jao. Ther na mat. Ther ne wale ka poor poor zakham ban jata hai.

" woh chupki se car mein baithi aur chali gayi .

tumahray andaishe chahe kitney hi durust hote Shayan magar aakhiri ke baad judai bakshne ka tumhe koi haq nahi tha. faiza ne tasuf se socha .

aik haath mein files aur dosre mein dupatta pakdae usski aamad kaafi afratafri mein hui thi.

noor ul huda ne akhbar neechey kar ke usse dekha.

mein soch raha hoon,

der se office aney walon ki thankhowa katna shuru kar du.

" maryam unki taraf dekh kar hansi.

aisa mat karna noor ul huda!

warna thankhowa ke naam par taniya ke haath kuch bhi nahi aayega.

" very funny. files aur dupatta sath wali chair par rakh kar haath mein pakra clip laa parwai se silky brown balon mein atkatey hue woh bura maan kar boli.

waise papa! aik baat mein aap ko bta du, jis din aap ne meri thankhowa kaati,

agle din mein resign kar dungi.

" dhamki dey rahi ho?

" woh ankhen nikaal kar bole.

aap bhi to dey rahe hain.

" aaraam se keh kar isne slice utha liya.

acha aaraam se khao. " usey jaldi jaldi slice mun mein thonste dekh kar maryam ne toka.

noor ul huda ne akhbar lapait kar

side mein rakh diya

inhen akhbar rakhtey dekh kar

maryam ne chaye ka cupp samne

rakhe hue glass mein juice nikaal kar inhen thmaya.

nashte ke baad akhbar padhna unka mamool tha. phir akhbar se farigh ho kar juice peetey aur office ke liye nikal jate.

jitni der mein unhon ne juice piya,

taniya nashta nimta chuki thi.

isne napkin se haath saaf kar ke dupatta gale mein dala paaya!

chalein." tum baad mein chali jana.

unse pehle maryam bol padhi.

phir is par se nigah hata kar unhon ne noor ul huda ko dekha.

mein taniya se kuch baat karna chahti hoon.

" okey. unhon ne koi aitraaz nahi kya .

acha suno unhen uth ta dekh kar

woh mazeed boli.

office jane se pehlay

baba jaan se miltey jana.

raat unki tabiyat kaafi kharab thi.

" unka mood aik dam se badal gaya

aur rakhai se bole"

mein business man hun,

Dr nahi." woh chale gaye.

to taniya, maryam ki taraf mudi.

samajh nahi aata mama aakhir papa, dada jaan ke sath itna rude behave kyun karte hain?

kya aap janti hain?

in dono ke darmiyan kya tension hai?

" mein kaisey jaan sakti hun!

" unhon ne foran la ilmi ka izhaar kya. mein ne in dono ko hamesha

aisa hi dekha hai.

ab to kher aadat ho chuki hai,

lekin shadi ke shuru k saloon mein,

mein bhi pareshan ho jaya karti thi.

aik do dafaa noor ul huda se poocha bhi to kehnay lagey, tumhara weham hai.

woh shayad batana nahi chahtey,

is khayaal se mein ne kabhi ziyada kuraida nahi.

aur ab to mujhe bhi yeh

apna wahem hi lagta hai.

tum khud ghour karo,

noor ul huda ka inke sath rawayya apni jagah magar woh kabhi bhi baba jaan ki taraf se ghaafil nahi hue. aur mujh se hamesha yahi kaha hai ke.

baba jaan mere bachon ke dada hein aur unki is hesiyat mein kabhi farq nahi aana chahiye.

yun bhi dono ke beech narazi ki koi wajah bhi to nazar nahi aati.

phir iska gaal thapaktey hue kaha.

In baton ko itna srslyyy mat liya karo.

"" aap mujh se kuch baat karne wali thi. " woh sar jhatak kar boli.

haan! aao. tumahrey room mein chal kar baat karte hein.

" taniya apni files utha kar unke sath uth khadi hui.

-apne kamrey se brief case uttha kar do do sidhiya utartey hue

woh laonj mein aaye to bajaye age

bhedne ke ruk gaye.

baba jaan ki kharab tabiyat ka sun kar woh pareshan ho gaye they

aur tafakkur unke chehray se bhi

nazar aa raha tha.

kuch pal thehr kar woh aahista aahista qadam uthatey unke kamrey ke darwaze par ja ruke aur dastak ke liye haath uthaya.

phir pata nahi kya huwa,

unhon ne uthte hue haath ki muthi bana kar bhinch liya.

achanak hi un ke chehre se

be hisi jhlkne lagi thi.

phir woh mudey aur taiz qadmon se

chal kar bahar nikal gaye.

Taniya dono per uthaye bed par baithi thi aur maryam isse kuch faasle par gehri soch mein doobi thi.

Tania ne khud se kuch poochna munasib nahi samjha to chup kar ke inhen dekhney lagi.

woh hamesha ki terhan hi silk ki saari pehney hue thi.

tanya ne kabhi bhi inhen bohat ziyada lambey balon ke sath nahi dekha tha.

is waqt bhi unke lehar daar balon ki step cutting kamar ke kuch oopar hi khatam ho rahi thi.

jo kabhi sach much hi gehrey kaley rang ke huwa karte the.

magar ab adhtalees baras ki Umar mein inhen pabandi se die karana parta tha. Albata unki figure par Umar ka kuch khaas asar nahi padha tha.

sochte sochte ab iski zehni ruh

noor ul huda ki taraf mud chuki thi.

isne apni umar ki kayi ladkiyon ko

unki personality ko sarahtey suna tha. Kanpatiyon se unke baal safaid ho chuke they.

jinhein unhon ne kabhi colour karne ki zaroorat mehsoos nahi ki.

unke utney bethney,

chalne phirney aur bolne mein bhi

khud itmadi jhalakti thi.

woh mutasir kun shakhsiyat ke maalik the.

In dono logon ko sath dekh kar tanya ke dimagh mein aik hi baat aati made for each other.

abhi bhi yahi soch kar iske honton pey muskurahat aagai thi.

jise foran hi dabatey hue isne maryam se kya.

" mama! mujhe abhi office bhi jata hai. "

haan mujhe yaad hai.

" woh bol kar phir ruki, kuch socha, phir aakhir usey mukhatib kar hi liya.

tumhe ansar kaisa lagta hai?

jaisa hai, waisa hi lagta hai.

" Usne mohtaat andaaz mein jawab diya.

yahi to pooch rahi hoon, kaisa hai?

woh zor dey kar boli.

mujhe kya maloom? " isne pehlu teh ki .

maloom kyun nahi hai?

aakhir tum dono bachpan ke dost ho.

" bachpan ki dosti to mama!

bachpan mein hi khatam ho gayi,

jab woh padhney ke liye

aboard chala gaya tha.

ab woh mera dost nahi hai,

sirf Farooqi group of industries

ka vendor hai.

aur agar woh mere liye kuch hai bhi to bas taimoor uncle ka beta.

iske ilawa kuch nahi.

is baar woh boli to iske lehjey mein

koi gunjaish nahi thi.

maryam ne saans bhar kar keh hi diya. Ansar ne tumhe propose kiya hai?

" "khud" woh hairan hui.

mujh se to urusa ne hi baat ki hai magar zahir hai bete ki marzi se hi ki hogi.

" woh khamosh baithi rahi.

woh ba qaida tor par rishta le kar aney ki ijazat maang rahi hai.

tumahre papa ko bhi proposal acha laga hai aur dada jaan ne bhi approve kar diya hai.

magar zahir hai, aakhri faisla tum ko hi karna hai. soch samajh kar jawab dena. "

mamma lekin us ne kuch bolna chaha par maryam ne beech mein hi rokkk diya.

dekho is baar koi taal matol nahi chalegi. jab tak tum padh rahi thi,

tab tak to theek tha par

ab jo saal bhar se

tum bahaney bana rahi ho,

woh meri samajh se bahar hei.

mujhe samajh nahi aata aakhir

tum shadi ke baray mein kab srs hogi? "

Mamma plzzzz is zikar ko abhi rehnede. Usne koshish kar ke bol hi diya.

magar unhone jaisey suna hi nahi.

tumhe kuch andaza hai

tumhari Umar kitni ho chuki hai?

zahiri si baat hai, yeh sawal isse jawab mangney ke liye nahi kiya gaya tha .

24 saal woh boli.

aur jab mein chobees saal ki thi

to tum meri goad mein thi.

" woh ruk kar iski faq hoti

shakal dekh kar boli.

mein ne pehley bhi tum se kaha hai

aur ab phir keh rahi hoon.

ke agar tumhari apni koi choice hai to khul kar keh do.

mujhe ya kisi bhi dosrey shakhs ko koi aitraaz nahi hoga.

" uski aankhon mein aik dam hi Shayan ka chehra ubhar aaya.

to isne sakhti se palken band ki,

phir khol kar unhen dekha.

aur agar tumhari koi choice nahi hai to beta! mein kahugi ke tumahre liye ansar se behtar aur koi nahi ho sakta.

unhon ne tawaquf kiya phir pyar se iske balon par haath phair ne lagi.

"Taniya yeh waqt jo is pal

tumahrey haath mein hai,

bohat khoob soorat hai.

usey na ganwao "

mein jaun?

kuch der baad us ne halkey se poocha.

Haan jao unhone ijazat dete hue kaha.

unke paas se uth kar woh dada jaan ke paas aagai.

tum gayi nahi?

woh khilaaf mamool is waqt

usey ghar mein dekh kar hairan hue.

bas jahi rahi hoon.

phir bed par unke barabar beth te hue boli jahan woh neem daraaz they.

ab aap ki tabiyat kaisi hai?

tumhe dekh kar theek ho gayi hai.

woh qasdan muskarayi.

azhar Farooqi kuch jhijhake, phir poocha .

noor ul huda abhi ghar par hai?

" nahi. woh office ja chukey hein.

aahista se keh kar isne

unka haath choom kar kaha.

"I love you dada jaan!

woh janti thi ke yeh alfaaz unki takleef ka kam nahi ho satki.

phir bhi woh muskuraye to

usey hosla huwa,

phir inhen Allah Hafiz keh kar

woh bahar porch mein aagai.

apni car reverse kar rahi thi ke

Dr Siraj back view mirror mein gate se andar atey dikhayi diye.

woh gaadi mein baithey baithey hi

khidki se sir nikaal kar boli.

Dr sahab! aap is waqt?

waisay theek waqt par aaye hain.

aaj dada jaan ki tabiyat kuch

theek nahi hai!

woh khidki ke paas aakar

jhuktey hue bole.

" har mangal ko mujhe carnal sahab ke checkup ke liye aana hi hota hai.

aur aaj bhi mein shaam ko

aney hi wala tha par

Farooqi sahab ka phone aaya ke

carnal sahab ki tabiyat nasaaz hai

to mein subha agaya. "

aap ko papa ne phone kya hai?

woh Khushgawar hairat se boli .

haan. "

acha. woh hansi.

yeh baat dada jaan ko zaroor bataiyega. "

bta dunga.

woh na samjhi se boley.

aur taniya inhen hairan

chodh kar apni car nikaal kar le gayi .

din hafton mein

aur haftey mahino mein

kitni taizi se bdaltey jarahey hain.

yun hi calendar ko dekhte hue.

taniya ko ehsas huwa ke

Shayan ko Sakkhar gaye

do mahiney se ziyada ho chuke the

aur is tamam arsey mein

Shayan ki soorat dekhna to door

Usne Shayan ki aawaz tak nahi suni thi.

halaan k is ka dil bohat chaha,

kam az kam aik baar to

usey phone karle magar

isne sakhti se khud ko rokkk liya.

woh itni arzaa bhi nahi thi.

intercom ki beep par

iska dhiyaan bhatka tha.

hello!

intercom ka button press karte hue.

Usne kaha. maidam!

miss faiza aap se milna chahti hein. " haan andar bhej do. aur chaye bhi!

faiza ke naam par woh

seedhi ho kar baith gayi.

taniya hairan ho kar faiza ke

yun office aney ki wajah sochney lagi. chand lamho baad faiza aik dam se

iskeoffice ka darwaaza khol kar

andar aayi aur atey hi boli.

Shayan ke father ko

heart attack huwa hai.

" Taniya kitni hi der kuch bol na saki

phir koshish kar ke

usne khud ko milney par amaada kya.

woh theek hain?

" Samjho jaan bachi hai. faiza khud bhi pareshan nazar aa rahi thi .

yeh bhi badhii baat hai.

" taniya ne usey dilaasa daine ko kaha phir poocha.

" ab unki condition kaisi hai?"

Abhi to subah inhen room mein

shift kar diya gaya hai.

parson raat se to ICU mein they.

taniya ko khayaal aaya ke

woh jab se aayi hai, khadi hai .

acha baith to jao. "

nahi. woh isi tarha khadi rahi.

" mein hospital ja rahi hoon.

rastey mein tumhara office aaya to

socha tumhe ittila kar du.

" mein bhi chalti hoon tumahray sath. taniya ne jaldi se kaha

phir intercom par tarik sahab ko bula ke

Faiza ko bethne  ka keh kar

apne samney khuli files semathney lagi .

yes madam! zara der mein aik adhaid umar ke saab office mein the.

tarek sahib! yeh file mein ne dekhli hai. jaise hi papa factory se ayen,

sign karwa lijiye ga.

aur yeh cotashion Supreme Court coopration ko aaj hi tax ho jani chahiye.

aur agar papa mera puchein

to keh dijiye ga zaroori kaam se gayi hu

aik daidh ghantey mein aa jaoongi.

jaldi jaldi boltey hue

usne do files unko pakdayi

phir bag ka strip kandhey par daal kar mobile aur chabiyan uthaati faiza ko -apne peechey aney ka

ishara karti office se nikal gayi.

faiza ke baithtey hi isne gaadi

agey badha di.

kon se hospital mein hain?

" agha Khan . sadak par atein hi

taniya ne poocha tha aur

faiza ke jawab par

woh khamoshi se drive karne lagi.

magar kuch yaad aney par poocha .

Shayan ko pata hai?"

uncle ko heart attack hafte ki raat ko huwa tha aur shayaan har weekend par Karachi aata hi hai.

Uncle ko hospital bhi wohi le kar gaya tha.

taniya ne hairat se use dekha.

Shayan har weekend par

Karachi aata hai? "

haan! faiza ne iske lehje par

dheyaan diye baghair kaha.

bohat pareshan hai bichara.

mujhe to dar hai kahin

khud bimaar nah padh jaye.

uncle se mohabbat bhi to

bohat karta hai.

parson raat se hospital mein hai,

aik pal ke liye nahi soya.

na khane peeney ka kuch hosh hai.

woh Shayan ka ahwaal kya sunti,

abhi tak uski hairat hi

khatam nahi hui thi.

faiza zara der ko khamosh hui,

to usne phir poocha .

faiza! kya waqai Shayan har

weekend par Karachi aata hai?

" haan baba! har weekend par.

woh taniya ki baar baar ki

takraar se ulajh gayi.

agar koi zaroori kaam ho to aur baat hai.

warna woh apni routine nahi badalta.

kamaal hai!

woh wind screen ke paar dekh kar boli.

faiza ko aik dam khayaal aaya

aur woh taizi se uski taraf mudh ke boli.

"kya woh tum se nahi milta?

" taniya ne talkh si muskurahat ke sath nafi mein sar hila diya.

phone to karta hoga?"

is baar taniya ne koi jawab hi nahi diya.

faiza chup si ho gayi.

waah! Shayan saab!

paas thay to jalatey they.

door gaye to raakh kar dala.

is par kya shan-e be nayazi hai ke mudhkar khabar tak na li.

magar kya mere rat jagey

itney hi be assar the ke

tumhari neend na udha sakey?

Uski aankhon mein chubhan

badhne lagi

to isne dash board par rakhey

sun glasses uttha kar

aankhon par chadha liye.

chout to lag chuki,

ab zakham dikhaane ka kya faida?

gaadhi hospital ke samney ruk gayi.

faiza ne apni taraf ka darwaaza khoola aur utarne lagi to dhiyaan aaya,

woh abhi tak apni sit par hai aur

usne ingen bhi band nahi kya

to palat kar poocha .

tum andar nahi aaogi?

" tum chalo, mein thodi der mein aati hu.

woh badastoor samney dekhte hue boli aur faiza ke utartey hi

woh znatey se gaadi bhaga le gayi .

kaafi der tak be maqsad shehar ki sadkon par gaadi bhaganey ke baad bhi khoon ke ubaal mein kami nahi aayi.

to thak kar usne ghar ke rastey par gaadi mod di.

ghar mein daakhil hotey hi

Uski nazar mulazma par padi to usey pukaar kar kaha.

Khadija !

mein apne kamrey mein jarahi hu.

aur koi disturb nah kare. "

phir woh ruki nahi aur seedhi

apne room mein aagai.

jazbati toot phoot ke baad

ab uske asaab shakista honey lagey they.

is par heejan taari tha.

darwaaza lock kar ke isne haath mein pakdi har cheez bed par pehnki aur khud carpet par ghutnon ke bal gir padi.

hauley hauley laraztey hue khud kalami kar rahi thi .

" mera aitbaar todney ki tumahrey paas koi wajah nahi thi Shayan!

agar koi wajah hoti to tum mujh se ladtey, mujhe ilzaam dete.

Magar tum to bina kuch kahe hi palat gaye. lafzon ka azaar dey gaye.

mein kab tak tumhari khamoshi sunu? kuch to bola hota Shayan!

mein samjha leti khud ko ke tum ne dhoka diya hai.

magar ab kya karoon?

khud ko kaisay samjhaau?

" ab iski aawaz buland hoti ja rahi thi. dard se phat te -apne sar ko dono hathon se pakde iska gala runda gaya tha .

qasoor tumhara nahi ghalti meri hai. mein ne kyun tum par aitbaar kya?

mein ne kyun tum se mohabbat ki?

kyun mein aaj bhi

tum se mohabbat karti hoon?

jab sath hi nahi dena tha to

tum kyun mere paas aaye?

agar jana hi tha to

meri zindagi mein,

mere dil mein aney ka

tumhe kya haq tha?

paas aakar door jane ka,

jhalak dikha kar choup jane ka

khail bohat baar khela hoga.

woh ab chilla rahi thi.

bohat soo ko tadpaya hoga.

bohat hongi jo tumahrey liye roti hongi.

magar mein tanya Farooqi hoom.

un bohat si ladkiyon se bohat alag.

mujhe tadapta dekhney ki tumhari khwahish kabhi poori nahi hogi Shayan!

nah mein tadpungi na roungi.

tum woh nahi jis ke liye mein khud ko barbaad kar lu.

woh keh rahi thi ke woh nahi royegi magar dono bazu sakhti se

apne gird lapait kar peshani ghutnon se laga kar ghari bani

woh phoot phoot kar ro rahi thi.

Sooraj dhal chuka tha aur kamrey mein andhera ubharney laga tha

lekin taniya ne light jalayi na hi parde samete.

woh be hiss o harkat ondhe muh

carpet par simat kar leti thi.

ab woh ro nahi rahi thi.

iska chehra saata huwa tha,

baal be tarteeb ho rahey they.

bikhare bikhare holiye ke sath

iske sar mein dard ki taiz

laharen uth rahi thi.

kayi ghanton tak roney ki wajah se

woh thak chuki thi

aur ab is mein itni taaqat bhi nahi thi

ke uth kar bed ke daraaz se pain killers hi nikaal kar le le.

phir kuch waqt bad hi sahi

magar isne khud ko

hilney par amaada kar hi liya.

woh khisak kar table ki taraf gayi.

table ke saharey se bethney ke baad

isne jug se pani glass mein dala

aur glass pakad kar uth te hue

bed par aa kar baith gayi.

phir draz khol kar

pain killer nikaali

aur do golian pani ke sath le kar

glass side table par rakha

aur bed par let gayi.

iska dil chaah raha tha ke so jaye magar aankhon mein dard itna ziyada tha ke band karna bhi mushkil tha.

woh chit leti neend aa jane ka

intzaar karti rahi.

Agli subah shower le kar

dressing room mein aayi to

aaiine mein apni hi soorat dekh kar

hairan reh gayi.

aankhon ke gird halqey suje hue the. nahaney se chehrey ki parmusiyat to kam ho gayi thi magar zardi jhalak rahi thi.

is haalat mein sab ka saamna karna mushkil lag raha tha.

magar iske siwa chara bhi kya tha.

geeley balon ko dryer se khushk kar ke woh dinning room mein aahi gayi.

umair, uzair to college ja chuke the

aur dada jaan bhi nashta

unke sath kar ke is waqt study mein chale jatey they.

maryam Albata noor ul huda ke sath hi nashta karti thi.

aur jab se taniya ne office jana shuru kya tha, woh bhi unke sath dinning table par mojood hoti.

noor ul huda is par nazar padte hi

choank gaye.

unhon ne maryam ki taraf dekha,

unke tasurat bhi noor ul huda se mukhtalif nahi tha.

Bahadur ! mere liye chaye le aao.

" slice par butter lagatay hue woh khud ko normall pose karne ke liye

zaroorat se ziyada

unchi aawaz mein boli thi.

tumhe kya huwa hai? "

maryam iske pose karne se zara bhi mutmaen nahi hui thi.

taniya ko bhi andaza tha ke"

kuch bhi nahi" se kaam nahi chalega.

isne chaye ka cupp uthaya!

jisey abhi abhi bahadur chode gaya tha aur saib le kar boli .

ab to theek hoon.

magar tabiyat kharab ho gayi thi.

isi liye office se jaldi uthna pada.

phir jo tablet le kar soi hu

to aik ghanta pehley hi aankh khuli hai."

isne ghair mehsoos andaaz mein

kal sara din kamrah nasheen

rehne ki bhi wazahat kar di.

mujhe abhi bhi

tum theek nahi lag rahi ho.

tumhe dr ke paas jana chahiye. "

jee mamma!

woh unki takeed ke jawab mein boli.

maryam to qadrey mutmaen ho kar nashta karne lagi.

magar noor ul huda mustaqil

usey dekh rahey the.

halaan k unhon ne koi sawal nahi kya tha magar unka is tarah dekhna taniya ko pareshan kar raha tha.

phir bhi woh aaraam se nashta karti rahi .

aakhir unhon ne taniya par se nigah htali."

mera khayaal hai, aaj tum office mat jao.

ghar par hi reh kar aaraam karo

mein bhi yahi soch rahi hoon."

isne cupp mein jhankte hue kaha.

noor ul huda apni jagah se uthey aur

iske paas aakar iska chehra apne hathon mein le kar apni taraf kya.

tumhe takleef mein dekh kar mujhe bohat takleef hoti hai.

magar is waqt takleef aur bhi ziyada hogi jab tum apni takleef mujh se chupaogi."

taniya ko unke chehrey par wohi khoya huwaa sa ta-assur nazar aaya,

jo aksar taniya ko dekhte hue

ubhar aata tha.

woh jhuke aur

iske maathey ko choom liya.

unki chodhi pusht ko dekhte hue

taniya hairan ho rahi thi.

nah isne kuch kaha,

nah papa ne kuch poocha.

inhen phir shak kaisey huwa ke

woh kuch chhupa rahi hai?

phir woh uth kar

apne kamrey mein aagai.

aur jab yaqeen ho gaya ke

noor ul huda chaley gaye hain

to launch mein aakar waqt guzari ke liye TV on kar ke baith gayi.

maryam kahin jane ki tayari mein

launch se ho kar guzri.

tanya ne door se hi inhen bye kaha.

muskura kar uski taraf dekhte hue unhon ne darwaaza khoola.

phir kuch sochti nazron se

glass wall ke doosri taraf taniya ko dekh kar unhon ne darwaaza band kiya aur launch mein aagai.

Kuch khas program dekh Rahi ho"

nahi, foran sidhe hokar

usney tv ki awaaz Kam kardi.

Tumse baat karna chah rahi thi.

sofe par sath bethe boli.

"khein"!

baat to koi nai nahi hai.

par urusa ka israar badhta ja raha hai. halaan k mein bohat wazeh andaaz mein isse keh chuki hoon ke tum abhi shadi ke liye tayyar nahi ho.

magar woh kehti hai,

shadi na sahi mangni to ki ja sakti hai.

aur sach pucho to mujhe bhi

Uski baat pasand aayi hai.

filhaal mangni kar dete hain.

phir jab tum zimme daari uthaney ko tayyar ho jao to shadi kar denge.

aur kya pata, aik baar ansar ke sath rishte mein bndh kar shadi ka faisla tumahrey liye ziyada aasaan ho jaye."

phir usay chup dekh kar boli.

chup kyun ho? kuch to bolo"

kya bolon mamma?

woh hansi"

pul Siraat par theru ya hatt jaun.

kuch haasil nahi hoga.

par shayad kuch ganwana bhi na padhee. lekin agar guzar jau to sab ganwaa dungi. magar shayad tab bhi mere haath khaali nahi rahenge.

bin mangey hi sahi lekin zindagi kuch ataa to keregi.

par naffa kis mein hai

aur nuqsaan kahan?

hisaab karoongi to hi pata chalega .

kya keh rahi ho?

woh khaak bhi nah samjhi.

taniya inhen dekh kar muskarayi.

aap chahti hain na, mein shadi krlun? "

haan! "

mein soch kar jawab dungi. ."

uss ki baat par maryam nihaal ho gayeen. bas ab chahey tum kuch bhi jawab do, mere liye to yeh bhi bohat hai ke

tum shadi ke barey mein sochney ko tayyar ho gayi ho.

tanya inhen khush dekh kar

sharminda ho gayi.

apni khoshiyon ke barey mein

sochte hue woh unki khoshion se kitna door ho gayi thi.

jane se pehley kitni hi der tak

woh use khud se lipta kar pyar karti rahi.

usne keh to diya ke soochengi.

phir kuch sochney ki koshish mein woh kuch bhi soch nahi pa rahi thi.

kitna waqt guzar gaya,

ussey kuch ehsas bhi nahi tha.

kisi ne iske haath par haath rakha to

woh choank kar mudhi

aur -apne barabar bethey umair ko dekh kar usey aik baar phir chonkanna padha.

woh uniform badal chuka tha.

jis ka matlab tha,

usey college se aaye kaafi der ho chuki thi. taniya ko yaqeen nahi huwa ke woh pichlle teen chaar ghanton se aik hi haalat mein baithi thi.

baithy bethaye kho jane ki aadat ya dada jaan ki hai ya phir papa ki.

aap ne yeh aadat kab se apna li?

itni der se aap ko aawaz dey raha hu, magar aap hain ke kuch sunti hi nahi."

Wo mein kuch soch rahi thi.

woh uthte hue boli. Uzair kahan hai?"

Dinning table par apka intzaar kar raha hai. aur dada jaan bhi wahi hain.

" chalo phir woh dinning room mein aagai. ussey bhook nahi thi par sab ka sath deney ko ussne thodhe se chawal plate mein nikaal liye .

aapi! subah bta diya hota,

aap chhutti karne wali hain.

mein bhi college nahi jata.

" bohat acha kya mein ne jo subah nahi bataya. warna bekar college bank karte.

woh uziar ke tasuf se bolne par boli

to umair hansa.

Wese bhi iske sath poora din

bitana aasaan nahi.

woh to meri hi himmat hai

jo isey jhel laita hoon.

dada jaan, taniya aur umair hasne lagey to woh muh bana kar shikayti andaaz mein bola.

tum dono kyun har waqt

usey chefhte rehtey ho?

iski daadrasi mein dada jaan

zara roab se boley.

to umair jhat se bola.

hamein cidhane ki kya zaroorat hai?

yeh pedaishi chidhaa huwa hai.

aur phir taniya ke sath mil kar

hasne laga.

Baat sahi thi isiliye Azhar farooqi bhi muskuraye to uzair bichara or sharminda ho gaya.

Rotey nahi beta

tum in bewakoofo ko chodho

or khana Khao.

unhone sar puchtake hue niwaala uske muh mein rakha wo to sach much behal kar khane laga.

Dekha tum teeno me se

ek uzair hai joh sidha or masoom hai

Or tum dono har waqt iski masumiyat ka mazak udhatey ho.

Uzair ney uh gardan akda kar dekha jese Azhar farooqi ney

usey koi ahjaaz bksha ho.

Or uski is harkat par

woh dono or bi zyada hasne lagein.

woh bhi ek suhaani shaam ka

manzar tha.

garam ghaas par padhi hui

Trey thame woh sehaj sehaj

qadam uthati lawn mein rakhi chairs ki taraf badhi chali aa rahi thi

jin par Birajman azhar Farooqi aur

noor ul huda duniya mafiya se be-khabar naa jane kin baton mein uljhey they.

In dono ne hi uski aamad ko mehsoos nahi kya tha.

balkey noor ul huda to us waqt chokey

jab trey rakhney ke liye

jhuktey hue iska kaasni dopatta

shaney se sirak kar ghutney par rakhey

unke haath par aa pada.

ussne ek haath se dupatta kandhey par daaltey hue dosrey haath mein badhaa sa cup utha kar baba jaan ki taraf badhaya.

magar unhone haath mein pakda akhbar ek dam hi apne samney phela liya.

woh sun si ho gayi.

yeh ho hi nahi sakta tha ke

azhar Farooqi ne usey apni taraf

cup badhate na dekha ho.

noor ul huda ko bhi

unki yeh harkat achi nahi lagi thi.

woh khud ko bolney se rokkk naa paye.

baba jaan! woh apko cupp pakda rahi hai.

" azhar Farooqi ne zara sa akhbar ka kona neechey karte hue sarsari se andaaz mein kaha.

table par rakh do beta!

" aur phir se akhbar -apne samney kiya.

usne cupp unke samney rakha aur

usi khamoshi se kursi par baith gayi.

uska chehra pathar ki terhan be jaan tha. har baar apne nazar andaz kiye jane par uski kefiyat itni hi shadeed ho jaya karti thi.

noor ul huda uski is qadar hasasiyat par aksar hairan aur kabhi kabhar to pareshan ho jatey.

usey is trans se bahar laane ke liye

noor ul huda ne cupp uttha kar

iske samney kiya aur apni aadat ke mutabiq basha shat sey boley.

kya shaam ki chaye pina bhi

chode diya hai?"

uss ne choanktey hue unki taraf dekha aur saadgi se muskuratey hue

unke haath se cupp le kar ghoont ghoont peeney lagi.

ghar mein bekar baith kar kya karogi? tum university mein admission

kyun nahi le leti?

" inhen lagta tha,

iski had se badti hui

hasasiyat ki wajah tanhai hai.

halaanke ghar mein baba jaan aur

khud woh mojood they.

magar noor ul huda apni masrufiyat ki wajah se usey thik se time nahi

de paate the.

aur baba jaan jo ke retire the

magar alag thalag rehna

pasand karte they.

unhon ne socha, University jane se

Iski tanhai khatam ho jayegi.

aur phir shayad iski jazbatiyat bhi

kam ho jaye.

magar isne foran hi unke khayaal ko mustarid kar diya.

BA kar liya, kaafi hai.

mujhe agey nahi padhna.

" yeh kya baat hui?

" woh tok kar boley .

bas! kuch samajh nahi aaya to

isne kandhey uchka diye.

bas kya?

woh kabhi kabhar hi badhe roab ka

izhar karte they.

aur jab aisa karte, badhe aaraam se maroob ho jati jaisey abhi ho gayi thi.

woh isi lehjey mein boley."

mera khayaal hai,

admission to open ho chuke honge.

mein kisi din form le aunga.

tum bas fill kar dena.

magar haadi bhai! mujhe agey nahi padhna. " woh minminayi .

" kyun? "

mujhe course ki kitabein achi nahi lagti.

bada masoom sa andaaz tha.

noor ul huda muskura diye.

phir kya acha lagta hai? "

batau?

" woh isi bholepan se josh mein boli,

phir unke jawab ka intzaar kiye bagair shuru hogayi.

is ne sir utha kar door tak phailey aasman ko dekha aur kaha.

mujhe aasman ko

dekhna acha lagta hai,

is mein udhte baadal

aur parindon ki chehkaar,

Sooraj ki kirne aur chaand ki chandni, phool, titli, khushbu,

sehraa mein behti hawa ki aawaz, samundar ki laharen,

sardiyoon ka mausam"

boltey boltey woh achanak hans padhi, phir inhen dekh kar boli.

haadi bhai! mujhe zindagi achi lagti hai.

" woh hass padhe!

magar woh aik dam se

chup ho kar kuch sochney lagi thi.

phir isne cupp table par rakha

aur apni jagah se uth kar

ghaas par baba jaan ke qadmon mein baith gayi.

jo laa talluq se akhbar mein gum they. inhen mutwajjah karne ke liye

isne apne haath azhar Farooqi ke

ghutney par rakh diye.

unhone akhbar hata kar usey dekha.

Baba jaan! arts council mein no amooz masrooron ki paintings ki

numayesh ho rahi hai.

mein ne bhi apna naam diya tha aur pata hai mera selection bhi ho gaya hai.

17 decemeber se teen din ki

numayesh hai.

aap ayen ge na?

" josh mein boltey huwe aakhir mein

iska lehja minnat bhara ho gaya tha .

tum janti ho ke bheedh bhaadh wali jaghaon par jana mujhe pasand nahi. " unhone mukammal inkaar nahi kya tha, isi se hosla pakad kar woh boli .

magar thodi der ko to

jasaktey hain baba jaan!

yeh meri pehli exhibition hai aur

is bahaney aap meri paintings bhi

dekh lenge.

jantey hain, is baar mein ne stil life aur land speaking ke ilawa hi

seascape bhi banaye hain.

aur calligraphy to mein ne

pehli baari ki hai.

pichle mahino mein,

mein ne itney saarey

naye canvas bnaliye hain

aur aap ne abhi tak koi bhi nahi dekha. "

agar dikhnana maqsad hai to

aaj hi ek nashist tumahrey kamrey mein rakh letey hain.

lekin mein exhibition mein nahi apaunga.

army life ke douran bhi par wajhoom jaghon par jana mujhe pasand nahi tha aur ab to mein retired life guzartey ghar tak hi mehdood ho gaya hoon.

any way, best of luck. "

kya ho jata agar baba jaan

iska dil rakhney ki khatir kuch der chaley jane ki haami bhar lete.

noor ul huda ne tasuf se

soch kar usey dekha.

isne apni ankhen jhuka rakhi thi

phir bhi iski palkon par leraztey ansoo noor ul huda ko saaf nazar aaye the .

noor ul huda be chain ho kar uthey

aur iske paas wali chair par baith kar table par rakhey iske haath par apna haath rakh diya aur kuch kehna hi chahtey the ke isne ahistagi se apna haath unke haath ke neechey se nikala

aur uth kar yun hi rukh phairey

andar ki taraf badh gayi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ confused na ho hoye niche pdhe samjh ajyega!😂

juton samed bed par chit letey

noor ul huda ko apni kanpatiyo par

nami ka ehsas huwa tha.

woh auth baithe apne chehrey par se aansoon ko saaf kar ke haath

apni aankhon ke samney kya aur poron par thahri nami ko dekhney lagey.

jo aaj tum yahan hoti to dekhti

ke jo ansoo tumhari aankhon se

naa beh sakey

woh 27 saloon se

mera chehra bigho rahein hain.

be sabab to nahi teri yadein

Teri yaadon se kya nahi seekha

zabt ka hosla badha lena

anso-on ko kahin chhupa lena

kapti doobti sadaaon ko chup ki chadar se dhaanp kar rakhna

be sabab bhi kabhi hansna

jab ho baat koi talkhi ki

mozue guftagu badal dena

be sabab to nahi teri yadein

teri yaado se kya nahi seekha!

woh thakey thakey se uthay aur

khidki ka parda hata kar bahar jhaka. porch ki taiz roshni mein

taniya baar baar horn baja rahi thi.

phir azhar Farooqi chand lamhoon baad -apne poton ke sath nazar aaye.

Sambhalney ke liye hamesha

thokar ki zaroorat kyun hoti hai?

front door khol kar bethe

azhar Farooqi ko dekh kar

unhone socha tha.

haath mein bukey pakde

taniya ne hospital ke information counter par Shayan ke father ka naam bta kar

unka room number pucha.

room number 5 dubli patli ladki ne computer se check kar ke usey bataya.

thanx " keh kar taniya lift ki taraf aayi.

lift se nikaltey hi.

taniya ko samney se faiza aati dikhayi di.

paas aney par woh boli .

" kahan jarahi ho? "

ghar! faiza ne jawab de kar poocha.

magar parso kya huwa tha?

thodi der ka keh kar

tum to gayab hi hogai.

" aik zaroori kaam yaad aa gaya tha.

isne kaha.

faiza ghar jane ka iradah tark kar ke

iske sath hi chaltey hue room mein aagai .

pehla qadam kamrey mein rakhtey hi taniya ne Shayan ki mojoodgi ko mehsoos kar liya tha magar jaan boojh kar nazar andaaz kar ke woh bed par letey shaqs ki taraf aagai.

bed ke sath hi rakhi maiz par

bukey rakh kar isne halki aawaz mein poocha. Inki tabiyat ab kaisi hai? "

kaafi behtar hai!

apne peechay se Shayan ki bhaari aawaz sun kar woh sambhal kar palti.

koshish kar ke hairan hotey hue boli .

tum! phir qasadan muskurayi.

sorry, meine tumhe dekha nahi.

tabhi iski nazar sofey par baithi sabz aankhon wali aurat par padi.

isne foran unhen salam kya

aur faiza ki taraf dekhney lagi ke

unka taaruf karwayemgi.

khud se woh samajh nahi saki thi.

ke woh Shayan ki mother hain.

ya koi rishta daar.

aisa hi sawal taniya ke liye

unki aankhon mein tha.

faiza ne danista un salawon se aankh churatey hue kaha.

mera khayaal hai,

bahar chal kar baat karte hain.

yahan hamari aawaz se

uncle ki neend kharab hogi.

" woh darwaaza khol kar bahar chali gayi to taniya aur Shayan bhi age peechey bahar aa gaye.

taniya, faiza ke sath hi

bench par baith gayi.

Shayan deewar se kamar tikaye

samney khada tha.

itni der mein pehli baar taniya ne

iski taraf dekha.

blue jeans aur white shirt pehney

uska huliya raff sa tha.

kaley baal be tarteebi se

maathey par padhe they.

shave badhi hui thi aur aankhon ke neechey halqey nazar aa rahay the.

apne father ke liye bohat pareshan hai. taniya ne dil mein uske liye hamdardi mehsoos ki.

bohat up set ho?

aakhir isne baat shuru ki.

abbu meri zindagi ka laazmi hissa hain. mein sab kuch bardasht kar sakta hoon magar unki takleef nahi.

" Insha Allah woh jald theek ho jayenge. taniya ne dil se kaha.

aaj kal kya kar rahi ho?

" woh baat badalney ko bola!

kuch khaas nahi!

" to kro na!

aur kitna intzaar karwaogi?

"" kya matlab?

mein samjhi nahi"

shadi ki baat kar raha hu.

waisey tum dono ne bohat

mayoos kya hai.

career ke peechey hi padh gayi ho.

warna mera khayaal tha,

MBA ki degree mlitey hi

tum dono doli mein baith jaogi.

jaan boojh kar usne yeh topic shuru kya hai, is khayaal se taniya ko is par gussa aney laga.

faiza bhi kuch chidh gayi.

tum apna khayaal chhodho

aur uncle ka khayaal karo.

kitna armaan hai inhen

tumahrey sar par sehra dekhney ka.

yun bhi umar mein

tum hum dono se hi teen saal badhey ho.

pehle tumhari shadi hogi.

hamara number to baad mein aayega.

" mein iski shadi tak intzaar

nahi karne wali!"

matlab? faiza ne poocha.

mein shadi kar rahi hoon.

" woh ghusse mein bina

soochey samjhe hi bol gayi.

zabar dast" Shayan ki aawaz par

isne uski taraf dekha.

agar koi umeed taniya ke dil mein

thi bhi to is waqt khatam ho gayi.

Shayan ke chehrey par khushi chupaye nahi chup rahi thi.

kab kar rahi ho shadi?"

bohat jald.

" woh jzbz ho kar boli.

shadi mein bulaao gi na?

" of course. aur bhala meri shadi tumahrey bina hosakti hai?

woh dil jalaney wali muskurahat ke

sath boli to Shayan bas

usey dekh kar reh gaya.

phir woh foran hi uth gayi.

acha faiza mein ab chalti hoon.

" theek hai!

mein shaam ko phone karugi. "Byee.

woh keh kar Shayan ki taraf dekhe baghair taizi se chalti lift ka intzaar karne ki bajaye sidhiyon se niche utar gayi.

Shayan corridor ke bichon beech khada ussey lamha lamha khud se duur jata dekh raha tha.

faiza uth kar iske paas aakar boli.

Kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai Shayan !

tum ne kabhi tanya se mohabbat ki hi nahi.

" iski aawaz mein tapish mehsoos kar ke

Shayan ne usey dekha aur dheemi aawaz mein kaha.

mohabbat karta hoon,

isi liye to phir honth kaat kar

beech mein hi chup ho gaya.

Tab to mujhe tum par gussa nahi,

taras aana chahiye.

mohabbat se dar jane wale kamzore shakhs par taras hi aasakta hai.

" bol kar woh ruki nahi,

aik jhatkey se agey badh gayi

aur Shayan shakista se andaaz mein wahein bench par baith gaya .

entrance se andar paiir rakhtey hi tanya ne drawing room se aati awazon ko suna, woh wahi ruk gayi.

andar maryam ke mehman

aaye baithy they.

andar se aati awazon se

isne andaza lagaya ke urusa bhi drawing room mein mojood thi.

magar woh is waqt kisi mil milaap ke mood mein nahi thi..

lekin mushkil yeh thi ke

drawing room ka darwaaza khula tha

aur launch ki seedhiyan

theek drawing room ke samney thi.

aur yahi seedhiyan is zeeney tak jati thi jis par taniya ka kamra tha.

ab agar woh apne kamre mein jane ke liye seedhiyon tak aati to

khuley darwazey se

usey dekha ja sakta tha.

taniya ne kuch soch kar darwaaza band kiya aur bahar aagai.

lawn ka chakkar kaat kar woh Qasir Farooqi ke pichlle hissey ki taraf nikal aayi .

ab iske samney siyah abnos ka be had lamba aur kaafi chauda munatkis darwaza tha.

magar is darwazey ke dono pato ko pakad kar dhkilte hue tanya ko kuch ziyada taaqat nahi lagani padi.

darwaaza khultey hi taniya par jaisey tilsam hoshrba ka koi baab khula tha.

kam as kam taniya ko yeh jagah kisi jadu nagri ki tarha hi lagi thi.

qasr Farooqi ka yeh porshan baqi ghar se alag thalag tha aur taqreeban na istemaal honey wala tha.

taniya ne aik qadam uthaya aur waha se hall mein aagai.

hall ke dono janib aamney samney

do darwazey the.

baen taraf ka darwaaza daining room mein khulta tha.

jis ke aik janib kitchen mojood tha. Dainnig room mein doosri taraf aik aur darwaaza tha jo raahdaari se juda tha

jis ke agey laonj tha .

Dusra dayen janib ka darwaaza aik lambey corridor mein pohochta

jis ke agey sittting room aur

usse agey laonj tha.

laonj mein baen janib azhar Farooqi ka kamra aur iske sath hi library se mulhiq study thi jabkey dayen janib rehaish ke kamrey they aur dayen janib se hi seedhiyan uppar ke corridor tak jati thi

jahan dono janib kamron ki qatarain thi. yani agar koi is hall ke aik darwazey se nikalta to pooorey qasr Farooqi ka chakkar kaat kar wapas yahi aa phuchta. is postion ki yeh anokhi khasusiyat thi ke woh beaqt waqt ghar ke har hissey se juda bhi tha aur pooorey ghar se alag bhi tha.

hall ke dakhli darwazey ke samney qaleen par bada sa tukda tha

jis ke sath rakha lakdi ka almaari ka woh furniture usey nishist gaah ka roop de raha tha.

dayen taraf ki deewar par bada sa aaina tha jis par art work kiya gaya tha.

aaiine ke neechey aik choti maiz ke sath do kursiya thi.

jabkey hall ki baqi deewaron par bhi kayi tarhan ki paintings aaweza thi.

aur chat se badha sa jhoomer latak raha tha. naak ki seedh mein thoda agey ja kar seedhiyan thi jinke baen janib

aik ouncha lakdi ka stool tha

jis par ghoomney waley dailer ke sath purani tarz ka phone rakha tha

magar is phone ka conection nikaal diya gaya tha.

seedhiyon ke uupri zeeney ke samney aik darwaaza tha jis ke dono paton se lataktey zanjeer mein tala laga tha.

taniya ne hamesha yahi suna tha

ke woh kamra store room hein.

yeh jagah itni kushadah thi

aur darwazey se sidhiyon ka faasla itna ziyada tha ke zeeney waley kamre ki balcony imarat ke samne ki taraf se dayen janib khulti thi.

waisey taniya ke liye to store room mein balcony ki mojoodgi kaafi hairan gun thi. jabkey balcony mein bada sa lakdi ka jhoola tha aur chhat se wind Chimner latak raha tha,

jin ka madhur sangeet chandni raat mein mabhoot kar diya karta tha

aur izafi hairat ki baat to yeh thi

ke balcony mein rakhey gamlo mein lagey poudhey ki khoobsoorat bail hari bhari thi.

lekin taniya ne kabhi kisi ko inhen pani dete nahi dekha tha.

ghar ke kisi fard se to puchna hi bekar tha magar nokron se bhi aik aadh baar

isne janna chaha to unhone saaf inkaar kar diya ke woh kabhi is kamre mein nahi gaye.

is hall ke tamam darwazey,

sidhiyo aur zeeney ki jitni relling,

had to yeh hai ke tamam furniture bhi munaqash aabnosi lakdi ka tha.

yun to sara qasr e Farooqi hi safaid sang mar-mar se bana tha magar siyah aur safaid ka yeh purkashish imtezaaj ghar ke aur kisi hissey mein nazar nahi aata tha.

aisa lagta tha ke waqt ke tar sath sath baqi ghar ki renovation to hoti rahi magar is hissey ko jaan boojh kar haath nahi lagaya gaya. yahan waqt ko qaid kar diya gaya tha .

hall ke darwaze se andar daakhil ho kar baen taraf ke darwaze se guzar kar dinning room mein ate taniya ko

mehez chand second hi lage they

magar usey yun laga, jaisey aik ehad se guzar aayi ho.

laonj mein qadam rakhne se pehle

isne drawing room se aati aawazo par dhiyaan diya.

woh sab badastoor gup shup mein masroof the.

taniya itminan se azhar Farooqi ke kamre tak aayi aur dastak dene wali thi ke kisi ne kaha.

carnal saab -apne kamre mein nahi hain. taniya ne mudh kar bahadur ko dekha jo drawing room mein chaye le kar jata usey dekh kar ruk gaya tha."

kahan gaye hain? " isne poocha.

zamiinon par gaye hain.

kal shaam tak ajayege.

aap ko kuch kaam tha taniya bi bi?

" nahi. tum jao.

taniya ne usey jane ko kaha,

phir khud hi use aawaz de kar rokkk liya.

bahadur!

jee tanya bi bi? " woh robot ki terhan wapas muda .

" jab mehman chaley jayen to

mujhe bta dena,

mein dada jaan ke kamre mein hoon.

" theek hai jee.

woh keh kar chala gaya to

taniya darwaaza khol kar kamre mein aagai.

kuch der tak to woh yun hi khadi rahi jaisey kuch soch rahi ho, ab kya kere.

phir isne hand bag bed par dala aur khud bhi jootey utaar kar aaraam se lete gayi.

woh jis zawiye se laitee thi,

aatish daan ke oopar lagi tasweer

iski aankhon ke samney thi.

karne ko aur to kuch tha nahi,

woh yun hi is tasweer ko dekhney lagi.

yeh tasweer kisi 19 20 saal ki nojawan ladki ke chehrey ka close aap thi.

kushadah peshani par tikhein abroo kamaan ki terhan kaat daar the.

badii badi sunheri mael gulafi ankhen jin par kham daar palkon ki ghani jhaalar thi.

stoon naak, gaal surkhi mael bhare bhare the. honth gudaaz aur thorhee qadrey bareek thi.

chehrey ki rangat gundani thi

jis ke aitraaf mein shehad jaisi rangat waley silky lambe baal bikhere hue the.

kaanon mein motiyon ke

aawezein latak rahe the

aur kaandhon par pada safaid dupatta bhi nazar araha tha.

woh jo bhi thi, bilashuba Haseen thi. Magar husn bhi to do tarhan ka hota hai.

kuch chehrey aisey hotey hain

jin ko dekhte hi ankhen

chundhiya jati hain.

kyun ke kuch aur nazar hi nahi aata.

phir jab woh aankhon se

oojhal ho jate hain to

zehen yun hadhbdhha kar jaagta hai

jaise neend se jaaga ho.

phir jitni baar inhen dekha jaye,

apni kashish kho jate hain.

Albatta kuch chehrey aisey bhi hote hein jo aankhon ko chundhiyate nahi,

bandh lete hain yun ke phir kisi

aur taraf dekhne ko dil hi nahi chahta.

phir chahe woh aankhon se

oojhal ho jayen,

unka assar baqi rehta hai.

aur jitni baar woh samne ayen,

lagta hai pehli baar dekh rahe hain.

is ladki ka chehra bhi un cheharon mein se tha jin se nazar nahi hat ti thi.

bilkul isi tarha, jaise ab taniya ki nazar nahi hatt rahi thi.

taniya ne kayi baar dekha tha ke azhar Farooqi kisi but ki terhan baithey

ghanton is tasweer ko taka karte the.

unki mehfiyat par taniya ko hairat huwa karti thi.

lekin ab khud is tasweer ko dekhte hue bilkul mehv ho chuki thi.

magar iski mehviyat ki wajah mehez is ladki ka husn nahi tha.

tanya ne woh tasweer to sekdon baar dekhi thi magar tasweer wali ko kabhi nahi dekha tha.

phir bhi pata nahi kyun

usey yeh chehra bohat manoos lagta tha.

iske zehen mein woh sawal sar uttha rahe they jo bachpan mein is tasweer ko dekh kar iske zehen mein ate the.

woh kon hai? iski tasweer is ghar mein kyun lagi hai?.

iska is ghar ke makeeno se kya talluq hai?

Magar taniya janti thi ke

un salawon ko soch lena jitna aasaan hai, unke jawab jaan paana itna hi mushkil.

Use yaad tha,

aik baar jab woh bohat choti thi

to isne maryam se poocha tha.

mama! woh ladki kon hai jis ki tasweer dada jaan ke kamre mein lagi hai?"

tumhe uske bare mein jaanna hai?

woh aik dam Ghaiz o gazabb se boli.

taniya ne chaha inkaar kar de

magar nanni si bachi sehem kar haan mein sar hila baithi. phir kya tha.

maryam ne jhapat kar

iska baazu apni apni girift mein le liya aur iske galoon par thpdhon ki barish kar di.

noor ul huda ne maryam ko is harkat par danta aur koney mein khadi dehshat se kaapti taniya ke paas aaye.

"wo is qader khauf zada ho chuki thi

ke ro bhi nahi pari thi

aur rone ki koshish mein

iske halaq se layani awazi nikal rahi thi.

5 6 saal ki bachi ko goad mein utha kar woh sofey par aa baithe kitni hi der tak noor ul huda.

usey apne seeney se lagaye thapaktey rahey. woh bhi is ke balon mein unglian challate kabhi iske masle gaye galoon par pyar karte.

bohat der baad kahin ja kar

woh normal hui thi.

magar i ke zehen mein

khauf baith chuka tha.

phir kuch din baad azhar Farooqi ne

usey bohat narmi se samjhaya ke

woh kabhi tasweer wali ladki ke bare mein koi baat nahi keregi .

iska khauf kuch aur gehra ho gaya.

phir isne khauf ke maarey kabhi is ladki ka zikar nahi kya.

waqt ke sath sath taniya ka khauf to khatam ho gaya magar woh yeh bhi samajh gayi ke woh ladki chahey jo bhi ho iska zikar shijra e mamnooa hai.

phir aise sawal karne ka kya faida

jin ka jawab na miley.

yeh soch kar isne kabhi is ladki ke bare mein -apne zehen mein tajassus peda hi nahi hone diya.

bhala agar dada jaan ke kamre mein kisi ladki ki tasweer lagi hai to lagi rahe.

kya farq padta hai.

aik dam se taniya ko ehsas huwa

jaisey woh is ladki ke bare mein soch kar apna waqt zaya kar rahi hai.

woh be zaari se rukh badal kar uth baithi.

koi faida nahi.

koi kabhi nahi batayega ke yeh kon hai?

isne kofat se apna sqr jhatka aur bed se uthney hi wali thi ke thitak kar ruk gayi.

iski nazar dada jaan ki study table par rakhi red diary par ittefaqan hi padh gai thi.

log diary likhte hain magar

isne dada jaan ko hamesha

diary padhte dekha tha.

dekhun to is diary mein kya likha hai?

is ke andar tajassus jaga..!

table se diary utha kar woh

dobara bed par akar bethi.

takiya rakh kar neem daraaz hoti woh diary ka pehla safaa khol kar padhney lagi.

miyaa jee,

nawab Shah ke assar zamindar they.

buland o baala haweli samait

kayi aeekad par phaili zarayi araazi pushtoon se unki khandani jageer ke

tor par virsey mei.

unke hissey mein aayi thi.

begum hayaat nahi thi Albata marhoma ne do auladein chodhii thi aur dono hi bete the.

badhe Mazhar Farooqi

aur chhootey azhar Farooqi .

Farooqi ,miyaa jee ki terhan hi pakke zamindar the aur wajibi si taleem ke baad hi woh zameendari ke kamon mein jut gaye.

azhar Farooqi ka mizaaj to zamindarana tha magar inhen

apne aabadi peyshey se koi khaas

shughaf nahi tha.

iske bajaye inhen taleem haasil karne mein dilchaspi thi.

miyan jee ko beto ka shoq pasand tha aur sath hi wasail ki bhi koi kami nahi thi. unhon ne azhar Farooqi ko husool taleem ke liye bakhushi Karachi bhej diya.

jo is waqt aik ubharta huwa chhota sa shehar tha Albatta hostel ki rihaish inhen pasand naa thi.

jab tak azhar Farooqi metric kar ke college mein phunche,

unhon ne Karachi mein hi wasee raqbey par haweli  ki taamer mukammal krwali.

aik hazaar gaz par taameer kya gaya

qasr Farooqi , safaid sang mar-mar se bani pur sukoon imarat thi

jis ke charon taraf derey  ki shakal mein paanch so gaz chaura khoob soorat lawn tha.

bahar se agar yeh imarat sabz safed ka Shah ka thi to andar se siyah safed ka ajuba.

qasr Farooqi ki Tazaeen o Araish mein lakdi ka bakasrat istemaal huwa tha.

woh bhi sirf abnos ki lakdi ka.

azhar Farooqi ne qasr e Farooqi mein rehtey hue hi graduation ka exam diya aur iske baad army mein jane ki khwahish zahir kar di.

miya jee ko yeh baat pasand nahi aayi. woh chahtey the taleem haasil karne ke baad azhar Farooqi wapas haweli ajayeen aur azhar Farooqi ko yeh Manzoor nahi tha.

aakhir Mazhar Farooqi unki madad ko aaye aur na jane kin mushkilo se

unhone azhar Farooqi ko army join karne ki ijazat dilwa di.

baaar haal jab saarey mamlaat khush usloobi se tey ho gaye to inhone beton ki shadi ka khayaal aaya.

is mamley mein azhar Farooqi ne badhey bhai ki terhan hi farmaa bardari se sab kuch un par chode diya.

miyan jee ne khud bahuo ke intikhab mein ahtiyat Barti .

Mazhar Farooqi ki begum Noreen , zamindar gharane se thi.

Albata choti bahu Faryal Karachi ke padhey likhey khandan se thi aur khud bhi taleem Yafta thi.

shadi ke pehley saal hi Mazhar Farooqi , betey ke baap ban gaye aur potey ki paidaiesh ke chand hafton baad hi miya jee qzaye ellahi se wafaat pa gaye .

dukh kitna hi bada ho, zindagi nahi rukti. yahi soch kar dono bhai apni zindagion mein adjust karne ki koshish karne lage.

lekin azhar Farooqi ke naseeb mein aik dukh aur likha tha.

azhar Farooqi army join karte hi

musafir ho gaye they.

aur unka padao kabhi aik

to kabhi dosrey shehar hota.

magar Faryal ko bhi gaon ka mahol pasand nahi tha aur azhar Farooqi ki ghair mojoodgi mein unka haweli mein rehna aisa zaroori bhi nahi tha.

is liye woh shadi ke ibtidayi dinon mein hi qasr e Farooqi shift ho gayi.

lekin unka apne sasural se

mukammal rabbta tha.

kabhi woh khud haweli chali jati

to kabhi un ke jaith aur jethani,

bete ko sath liye Karachi aa jate.

is baar bhi unki wapsi aik liye qiyam ke baad hui thi. magar woh nawab Shah tak nahi pahunch sakey.

rastey mein hi unki car ka musafir coach ke sath zabardast tassadum (accident) huwa tha.

haadsey ki ittila mlitey hi

azhar Farooqi aye haadsa par phonch gaye.

magar jab woh phuche to

unke bhai aur bhabhi dam tod chuke the lekin teen saal ka unka beta

mojizana tor par mehfooz raha tha.

bhai, bhabhi ki tadfeen - farigh ho kar

jab dono miyan biwi ne rakhte safar baandha to is nanhey se bachey ko bhi sath Karachi le aaye.

Faryal ki apni goad to ab tak khaali thi, unhone bohat aasani se is bachey ko -apne bete ki hesiyat qubool kar liya

aur bohat jald hi woh unki zindagi ka markaz ban gaya.

yahan tak ke shadi ke satwe baras minnaton o duaon ka samar ban kar peda hone wali Maliha Farooqi bhi.

iske liye Faryal ki mohabbat ko kam naa kar saki.

phir iske saath saal baad jaisey

azhar Farooqi husool taleem ke liye Karachi aaye the,

apne bhateejey ko unhone aala taleem ke liye London bhej diya.

magar chaar saal baad hi inhen wapas aana pada.

Maliha ki paidaiesh ke waqt hi Faryal ko kuch pichidkiyon Se guzarna pada tha.

aur phir iske baad woh mustaqil bimaar rahi aur gayarah saal ki bimari ke baad woh khaaliq haqeeqi se Ja mili.

paalne wali maa ko kandha de kar

woh phir London chale gaye.

magar Maliha ki zindagi mein khalaa hamesha ke liye thehr gaya.

halaan k baba jaan ne bohat jald hi retirement  le li shayad Maliha ki tanhai ke khayaal se.

magar paas honey aur

sath honey mein farq hota hai.

ab soorat e haal yeh hai ke

woh ya to apni study mein

waqt guzartey hain

ya -apne puraney dost malik nasir

ke sath shatranj khelte hain.

aur meri yani Maliha Farooqi ki routine bhi bas yun hi si hai.

mein ne haal hi mein graduation kya hai aur mera sara waqt ghar daari mein ya phir painting mein guzarta hai.

haan roz hi kuch waqt nikaal kar mein library chali jati hun.

waise to baba jaan ki library mein mere liye bohat si kitaaben hain.

magar laibrary jane ki wajah sirf itni hai ke mein is tanhai se kuch der ko peecha chudaa saku jo ammi jaan ke intqaal ke no saal baad bhi mujhe bokhla deti hai.

magar ab shayad tanhai ka

ehsas kuch kam ho jaye.

padhai khatam kar ke noor ul huda ne London mein job bhi kar li thi.

par ab suna hai ke baba jaan ke bhateejey hamesha ke liye wapas arhey hain.

taniya ko jhatka laga tha.

woh jaldi se seedhi ho baithi.

phir isne is line ko dubara padha.

phir tessri aur chouthi baar.

har baar padhney se

aik hi baat samajh mein aayi.

papa, dada jaan ke bete nahi hei.

yeh iske liye inkishaaf tha.

woh sochney lagi,

agar yeh baat sach hai to bhi

chupayi kyun gayi?

bhala is baat ke pata chal

jane mein kya harj hai?

azhar Farooqi agar noor ul huda  ke chacha bhi the to

taniya ke bahar haal dada hi the.

phir isne socha,

jab tak sab kuch jaan nahi leti,

is baat ko khud tak mehdood rakhegi.

isi waqt dastak ki aawaz par

taniya uchal gayi.

isne jaldi se diary

apne peechey chupayi!

darwaaza khula hai.

iski aawaz par mulazma ne darwaaza khol kar andar jhakka.

mehman chale gaye hain taniya bi bi!

aur sab aap ka khaney par intzaar kar rahe hein.

" papa aa gaye? " isne poocha.

nahi to!. "

theek hai! Tum chalo, mein aati hoon.

" iske jane ke baad woh dairy haath mein liye utthi aur chaltey hue tasweer ke samney ja khadi hui.

mujhe shak sa ho raha hai ke

Maliha Farooqi aap hi hein.

aur agar aap Maliha hein

to yeh diary bhi aap ne hi likhi hogi.

hamesha se mera dil chahta tha

ke mein aapke barey mein kuch jaan paun.

aur ab yeh diary mujhe apke barey mein kaafi kuch batane wali hai.

magar ghabraiyen mat padh kar

apki diary wapas kar dungi.

aur is mein jo bhi likha hai,

woh mere aur aap ke darmiyan rahega.

yeh mera wada hai.

" woh chup hui,

phir apni hi harkat par hansti

kamrey se bahar aagai.

isne diary -apne kamrey mein rakhi

aur khana khaney neechey aagai.

diary padhney ki jaldi mein isne theek se khana bhi nahi khaya aur chand niwaley le kar hi apne kamrey mein aagai.

kamrey mein aakar is ne light on ki

aur darwaaza lock kar ke

draz mein se diary nikaal kar

bed par chadh kar baith gayi.

(Dairy start)

Maliha library mein baithi

kitaab ke mutaley mein ghark thi

ke usey -apne chehrey par kisi ki nigahon ki tapish mehsoos hui.

isne sar utha kar dekha magar koi bhi mutwajjah nazar nahi aaya

to sar jhatak kar wapas kitaab par nazrein jama di.

magar kisi ki nazron ka ehsas

badastoor tha. woh chidh gayi.

aaj teesra din tha

ke woh kitaab le kar bethi thi

aur kisi ki nazron ki shiddat

usey be chain karne lagi.

do din tak woh apna weham samajh kar nazar andaaz karti rahi

magar aaj sach much

usey gussa agaya tha.

isne kitaab band ki aur -apne aitraaf ka jaiza lena shuru kya.

iske bilkul samney

aik uncle akhbar padh rahey the.

magar unki safaid daadhi ka ahtraam karte hue isne -apne dayen janib chehra moud kar dekha.

wahan University ke kuch students bethe combine study kar rahey the.

woh group ke ladkoon ko mashkook nigahon se dekhney lagi.

magar kisi ne bhi iski taraf nahi dekha

to isne doosri taraf dekha.

woh koi ladki thi aur zahir hai yeh harkat woh to nahi keregi.

hall mein kuch aur log bhi they

magar Maliha ne kisi ko bhi apni taraf dekhte hue nahi dekha .

kya museebat hai?

usey sakht be zaari hui.

do din se yahi ho raha tha.

bethe bethaye mehsoos honey lagta

ke koi usey bohat tawajah se

dekh raha hai.

magar dhoond ne par koi nazar nahi aata aur woh ghusse mein kholti ghar aa jati .

apni taraf se to isne masley ka

yeh hal nikala tha ke aaj subah ke bajaye shaam ko aayi thi.

aur apni makhsoos jagah se

hatt kar bethi thi.

magar samney wala bhi

kaafi mustaqil mijaaz tha.

ghar ki tanhai se ghabra kar

woh yahan aati thi par ab lag raha tha

ke is nadeeda meharban ki wajah se

yeh ek loti sargarmi bhi tark karni padegi.

woh uthi aur kitaab ghar ja kar padhney ke khayaal se issue karwati bahar aagai.

Excuse me miss!

woh pathar ki chodhe seedhiyan utar rahi thi jab koi iske peechey se bola tha.

woh ruk kar palti to dekha sanwley rang ka aik ladka black paint shirt pehney

iski taraf araha tha.

jee! woh qareeb aa gaya to Maliha ne kaha aur is jee ke jawab mein.

isne jo kaha, usey sun kar

Maliha ka jee chaha ke iska sar phaad de.

be fikri se maathey par aaye kale baalon ko aik haath se hatatey hue woh badhe aam se andaaz mein bola tha.

aap mujh se shadi karen gi?

Maliha ko pehley to laga

usey sunney mein ghalti hui hai

phir usey ghoor kar dekhte hue

kuch kehna chaha magar

phir apna iradah tark kar ke

woh palti aur seedhiyan utrney lagi.

woh bhi sath holiya.

dekhiye naa to mein

aap se mazaaq kar raha hoon.

aur naa mera irada flirt karne ka hai.

mein poori sanjeedgi se

aap ko propose kar raha hoon.

ho sakta hai aap ko

yeh sab ajeeb lag raha ho

magar mein request karta hoon

ke plzzzz soch kar jawab dijiyega.

mujhe jawab janney ki

koi jaldi nahi hai.

aap chahain to kal jawab de,

parson den, aik haftey baad,

aik saal baad,

das saal baad

ya chahay qayamat ke din.

mein yahi library mein

aapke jawab ka intzaar karoonga.

Maliha ne pehley to

apne qadmon ki raftaar taiz ki

phir kaanon par haath rakh liye.

aur aakhir mein isne daud lagadi.

dodtey hue usey ehsas huwa ke

iski aawaz aani band ho gayi hai.

to isne ruk kar dartey dartey

palat kar dekha.

door tak sadak sun_saan thi.

usey itminan huwa.

bhagtey hue saans phool gaya tha.

woh wahein sadak ke kinare

foot path par baith kar

saans durust karne lagi.

bad tameez, kamina, lofer kahi ka.

kehta hai shadi kerega.

aisa marungi ke shadi,

Bar baadi sab bhool jayega.

idiot jawab lene aayega

bad tehzeeb insaan.

aayega to aata rahe.

mein to ab mar kar bhi

idhar ka rukh nah karoon. "

woh foot path par baithi

unchi aawaz mein

use sulwatein suna rahi thi.

woh to shukar tha,

sadak bilkul khaali thi warna agar koi

usay is haal mein dekh leta

to haath pakar kar

pagal khaney chode aata .

pagal hoon na mein

ke koi bhi raah chalta

shadi ki offer kerega

aur mein chal padungi.

" badh badate hue wo uthi.

ab jo apne aitraaf par ghour kiya

to jee chaha, sar peet le.

yeh jagah iski jani pehchani to thi

magar iske ghar sey kaafi door thi.

bina dekhe sarpat dodhtey

woh -apne ghar jane wali sadak ke

bajaye doosri taraf nikal aayi thi

is khayaal se ke woh kahin

rastey mein nah mil jaye.

wapas palatney ke bajaye

isne agey ja kar mean road se ghar

ane ka socha aur agey badhi.

phir aik dam hi ghusse mein

palat kar jahan se aayi thi,

is taraf mooh kar ke zor se boli.

uuullllu ka pathaaaaa..

baba ko bta dun na to

kal isi gali se tumhara

janaza nikal raha hoga.

fouji ka haath pada to

dimagh thikaney par aajayega.

woh yun bol rahi thi

jese woh wahan khadaa sun raha ho.

woh saarey rastey baktey jhukatey

ghar phochi to azhar Farooqi lawn mein hi mil gaye.

woh to seedhi andar jane wali thi

par inhen apni taraf aata dekh kar

woh unki taraf badhi.

Assalamualaikum baba jaan! "

walaikum salam!

aaj tum ne kuch ziyada hi der kar di.

unki baat par isne be sakhta

kalayi par bandhi ghadi ki taraf dekha.

woh aam tor se do dhai ghantey mein wapas ajati thi magar aaj

iski wapsi teen ghantey baad hui thi.

aik to pehley isne khoob dimagh kharab kya phir ghusse mein itna khayaal bhi nahi aaya ke rickshaw ya taxi hi kar leti ,

usey kostey paidal hi chali aayi.

aik pagal jo mil gaya tha,

phir der kaisey nah hoti?

" woh aahista se boli.

kya keh rahi ho?

iske hont hiltey dekh kar

unhon ne poocha.

kuch nahi! aap mera intzaar kar rahe the to kuch kaam tha.

" haan mujhe poochna tha

tum ne noor ul huda ka kamra to

theek se set kar liya hai? "

kitni baar pouchenge?

isne dil mein kaha!

phir unki tashfi karne ke khayaal se boli." aap be fikar rahen baba jaan!

mein ne unke kamre ki har cheez khud -apne hathon se set ki hai.

phir unke paas se hatt kar

woh kitchen ke samney se guzarti pichli taraf ke hall mein aagai.

hall ki seedhiyan aik aik kar ke chadhti woh -apne kamre mein aayi.

yeh kamra bohat khula aur kaafi bada tha aur araishi ladiyon ki madad se kamrey ko do hisson mein taqseem kiya gaya tha.

aik taraf ka hissa bed room tha

jis mein ward robe bhi sath hi juda gaya tha.

ward robe ke aik taraf

attached baath room tha.

bed ke paakti ki taraf thora

hatt kar sofa set rakha tha

jis ke darmiyan mein

darmiyaney size ka table bhi mojood tha. dosra hissa art studio ka lag raha tha. samne ki deewar par

lakdi ka lamba rey munasib oonchai par deewar se joda gaya tha.

jis par kuch kyun

sukhne ke liye rakhey the.

kuch canvas deewar ke sath bhi

rakhey they.

aik taraf writing table ke sath

kursi rakhi thi.

aik gole ouncha neel bhi tha

jis par colour tiupes aur painting brush rakhey the. paas hi ezal bhi mojood tha.

kamrey mein balcony bhi thi

jis ki chhat se Maliha ne dhair saarey windchanz latka rakhey the.

balcony mein mojood jhuley se bhi

isne choti choti ghantiyan bandh rakhi thi.

Maliha ko un mili juli awazon ka madham sureela shore bohat pasand tha .

aksar chandni raton mein

woh jhuley mein leti

un awazon ko sunti rehti.

yeh kamrah kushada to tha,

iski aik aur khasusiyat yeh thi ke

yeh baqi ghar se munsalik hotey hue

bhi kaafi alag tha.

aur isi wajah se Maliha ne

usey -apne liye muntakhib kya tha

ke woh yahan yaksoi se apna kaam kar sakti thi.

Maliha ne kitaab table par rakhi

aur fresh honey ke liye baath room mein chali gayi.

muh haath dho kar woh toliye se khushk karti ayzal ke samney khadhi hui.

yeh canvas isne kaafi din pehley shuru kiya tha magar abhi tak aasman ka kuch hissa aur aik sookha darakht hi paint kar payi thi.

isne socha, aaj is canvas ko zaroor mukammal kar legi.

isne trey mein colour mix kar ke brush par lagaya aur canvas par .

kuch stroke laga kar hi

isne haath rokkk liya.

pata nahi kyun iska zehen yaksui nahi ho pa raha tha.

isne aik baar aur koshish ki magar zehen ab bhi bata huwa hi tha.

isne mehsoos kya ke koi cheez

usey disturb kar rahi hai.

shayad woh wind chans ki aawaz.

isne socha aur utthi.

balcony ke slight glass door ko band kar ke do mutmaen si hoti,

kursi ghaseet kar aezal ke samney aaraam se baith gayi.

magar ab kamrey ki khamoshi

usey chhane lagi thi. woh chidh gayi.

isi mahol mein woh ghanton canvas par kaam kya karti thi

magar aaj woh apna zehen tak

nahi bana pari thi.

tang aakar isne brush rakha

aur kitchen mein aagai.

samney hi kitchen table ke sath

rakhey stool par chadha.

iska hum umar dubla patla sa bahadur salad kaat raha tha.

tum? woh usey dekh kar haiirat se boli." Gul Bano kahan hai?

maa ki tabiyat theek nahi hai

to aaj khana mein ne banaya hai.

" acha Maliha ne hankaar bhara aur khaney ka jaiza leney lagi.

bi bi saab!

maheman raat ko der se ayenge.

bahadur ne salad fridge mein rakhtey hue poocha.

maheman nahi, chhootey saab arhe hain. Maliha ne tashil ki.

chhootey saab kya yahin rahenge?

"Zahir hein insaan apne Ghar mein hi rehta hein!

phir wo London me kaha rehtey the? Bahadur ney sochtey huwe usse sufiyana andaaz Mai sawaal kiya!

Footpath par! Wo chidh gayi!

Tum kiya nashte mei

kauwe khatein ho

jab dekho zaban chlti rehti hei!

Zara der ko chup nahi raha ja sakta!

Bahadur ki shakal bata rahi thi

usey maliha ka datna acha nahi laga tha!

Magar maliha ney

Bina parwah karein mazeed Kahan

Agar rayta bana chuke ho to

table par lagado.

Or baba jaan se kehdo ke

khana tayyar hein.

Thik hein!

Wo ruthe ruthe andaaz me bol kar

bartan laganey laga!

aik bhateejey ke aney par qasr Farooqi ko naye andaaz se sajaya gaya tha.

jiski wajah se Maliha ko kaafi koft hui thi .

Maliha chaawlon ki dish tablet par rakh rahi thi ke bahadur aakar bola.

carnal sahib keh rahey hain,

woh khana chotey saab ke sath khayenge.

" Maliha ne apna maatha peet liya

aur khud bulaney chal padi.

isne study mein paiir rakha hi tha ke

iski hansi chut tey chot tey reh gayi.

hamesha ki tarah safaid Buraq kurta shalwar mein kaley rang ke saada se chappal peeron mein daaley.

soonehre frame ke aeinak lagaye

woh samney kursi par tension baithe the aur nazrein wall -clock par jami thi.

woh agey badhi aur chaltey hue

unke paas farsh par baith kar

apna haath unke ghutney par rakha.

yeh iski bachpan ki aadat thi.

usey jab bhi baba jaan ko mutwajjah karna hota to mukhatib karne ke bajaye unki taraf dekhney lagti.

azhar Farooqi ne -clock se

nazar hata kar usey dekha.

khana kha len baba jaan !

" aaj to khana noor ul huda ke sath hi khaounga. tum ja kar kha lo.

" baba jaan! unki flight gayarah bajey land keregi aur ghar aney tak

daidh baj jayenge.

itni raat ko ane ke baad woh subah ke nashtey se pehley kuch nahi khayenge. "

mujhe khana nahi khana.

inhen Maliha ki baat sahi lagi thi

phir bhi khaney ke liye nahi maney

to Maliha ne phir israar kya.

thora sa kha len.

aap jantey hain

mujhe akele khana khana pasand nahi."

khana khaney ke liye bhook ka lagna zaroori hai, kisi ka sath hona nahi.

tumhe bhook lag rahi hai

to ja kar khalo unhon ne narmi se magar qataie lehjey mein kaha.

usey bura to laga

magar mazeed kuch nahi kaha.

woh uth kar dinning room mein aagai .

bahadur?

iski aawaz par bahadur,

bottle ke jin ki terhan haazir ho gaya.

khana uttha do.

" woh -apne kamrey se ja kar library se issue karwai kitaab uthaye

laonj mein aa bethi.

gayarah bajne mein aik ghanta baqi tha ke baba jaan study se nikal kar laonj mein aaye, phir usay dekh kar boley! Maliha?

jee baba jaan!

woh kitaab band karte hue boli.

mein airport ke liye nikal raha hoon.

phir socha aik nazar noor ul huda ka kamra dekh loo.

" aayiye baba jaan!

woh unka ishara samajh kar

foran khadi ho gayi.

Maliha se agey seedhiyan chadhtey hue woh aik dam hi palat kar boley .

tum nechey ka koi kamrah

theek karwa leti.

ab woh itni raat ka thaka huwa, seedhiyan chadh kar

apne kamrey mein Jaaye ga.

Maliha chahtey hue bhi nah ke saki

ke aap ne hi kaha tha ke noor ul huda ke liye oopar wala kamra theek karwana.

usey ground flour par rehna pasand nahi.

achi baat yeh hui ke kamrey mein ja kar inhen mean meek nikaalne ka mauqa nahi mila.

Maliha ne badhe dheyaan se kamra set kiya tha aur zaroorat ki har cheez wahan pohanchai thi.

wahan se bahar nikley to saarey mulazimo ko line mein khada kar ke hidayatein dena shuru kee.

" jab tak mein noor ul huda ko le kar airport se aa nahi jata,

tum mein se koi servant quarters ki taraf bhatkega bhi nahi.

bahadur aur Nazeer!

tum dono foran gaadi ruktey hi

noor ul huda ka samaan nikaal kar

iske kamre mein phuncha dena.

aur ghulaab Khan !

woh chokidaar ki taraf mude."

pehlay horn par hi gate khul jana chahiye.

agar der lagi to yaad rakhna,

meri rifle ko abhi zang nahi laga.

aur yeh driver kidhar reh gaya hai? dekho zara isne gaadi tayyar ki ba nahi.

aik mulazim bhaga bhaga bahar ki taraf gaya phir bhagtey hue hi wapas aaya .

jeep tayyar hai carnal saab! "

phir jab unki gaadi gate se nikal gayi to har aik ne sukoon ka saans liya.

koi mujhe aik glass pani ke sath

sar dar ki tablet dey ga?

sofey par dhair hotey hue

Maliha ne sada lagai.

usey itni der tak jaagne ki aadat nahi thi magar aaj to jagna majboori thi.

kuch der baad hi mulazim ne pani ke glass ke sath tablet laa kar usey pakda di.

tablet le kar Maliha ne kitaab

phir se khol li.

aik bajtey hi Maliha ki nazar

wall -clock se jaisey chipak gayi thi.

iska khayaal tha ke daidh bajey tak to

har haal mein woh log ajayenge

magar do bajey. phir dhai, phir pauney teen aur tang aakar teen buje.

Maliha ne airport inquiry ka

number mila diya.

pata chala flight teen ghantey late thi

aur yeh to sochna bhi bekar hai ke

baba jaan mujhe phone kar ke ittila dete "

receiver rakhtey hue

isne khud se kaha phir

bahadur aur Nazeer ke ilawa

isne sab nokron ko servant quarter mein bhej diya.

aur khud laonj mein aakar

single sofey par baith gayi.

jahan woh baithi thi, wahan se main entrance bilkul iski nazar ke samney thi.

dono paon sofey par rakhey kushan goad mein liye woh simat kar baithi thi.

neend ke maarey iska bura haal tha.

lekin janti thi agar noor ul huda ke istaqbaal ko woh bah nafs nafees mojood nah hui to baba jaan naraaz honge.

intzaar karna bhi

kitna mushkil kaam hai.

thak kar sochte hue

achanak hi is ki zehni ruh behak gayi.

aap chahey kal jawab de parson. .. ya chahey qayamat ke din.

mein intzaar karunga.

" is waqt to usey ghussa hi aaya tha

magar ab woh gum sum hogayi thi.

kya koi qayamat ke din tak

kisi ka intzaar kar sakta hai?

isne khud se sawal kya

aur phir foran hi jawab bhi dey dala Impossible!

saadhey chaar baje ke

qareeb horn ki aawaz aayi .

flight actually take off ke

waqt hi late ho gayi thi.

london ka mausam to aap jantey hain. airport jane se pehley

agar aap inquiry se maloom kar lete

to itni zahmat na hoti.

aur azhar Farooqi ke sath

andar aate noor ul huda ne jane

kiya bolney wale the ke sofe par be khabar so rahi ladki ko dekh kar chup ho gaye.

Baba jaan ne bhi usey dekh liya tha.

yeh is terhan kyun sirahh hai?

" woh nagawari se paas khadi mulazma se bole jo gaadi ki aawaz par quarter se nikal kar porch mein aagai thi.

aur ab unke sath hi andar aayi thi.

baba jaan plzzzz!

inhone ne ahistagi se inhen toka phir mulazma se kaha."

tum jao" baba jaan ko sath liye

unke kamre mein chodh kar woh

apne kamre mein jane ke liye sofe ke paas se guzrey to gair iraadi tor par baazu par latka coat jhuktey hue us par phela diya.

woh -apne kamrey mein aaye

aur jooton samait hi bed par late gaye .

thakan ke maarey

Maliha ka bura haal tha.

dard se badan toot raha tha.

phir bhi Fajar ki azaan ke sath hi

hasb e aadat is ki aankh khul gayi.

aankh khultey hi usey sab se pehley

noor ul huda ka khayaal aaya

aur woh jhatkey se uth khadi hui.

khadhe hote hi koi cheez iske wujood par se phisalti hui is ke peeron par gir gayi.

isne -apne peeron ki taraf dekha.

yeh coat kiska tha aur is par kisne dala hoga?

Maliha ko yeh samajhney mein aik second ki bhi der nahi lagi.

jhuk kar coat uttha ke baazu par

daaltey hue woh ajeeb se ehsas se do chaar hui thi.

woh coat liye -apne kamrey mein aagai. coat bed par daal kar woh shower lene chali gayi.

das minute baad hi woh geele balon

ke sath kamre mein aayi.

balon ko toliye se sukha kar

isne chadar odhee aur jaye namaz bichaa kar qibla rookh khadi hoti.

isne niyat bandh li.

noor ul huda yun bhi sar khaiz the.

phir woh flight mein neend

poori kar chuke the.

woh track suit pehney

lawn mein nikal aaye.

dodhte hue lawn ke kayi chakkar

kaat kar woh aik jagah ruke,

baar baar jhuk kar

apne panjoo ko chute

woh aik baar uthey aur

phir jhukna bhool gaye.

woh apsraa nahi thi

magar apsraa lag rahi thi.

safaid kapron mein ihtimaam se

dupatta shaanon par phelaaye hue.

uske lambey num baal hawa se

lehratey baar baar uske chehrey par aa rahe the magar

woh be nayazi bani jhule par baithi thi

jo uske gudaaz pairon ke dhakke se aahista aahista ageein pichen jhool raha tha.

woh sar uthaye badhii mehviyat se aasman ko dekh rahi thi

ke tabhi Sooraj ka rasta roke baadal

ek dam se khiska aur

iska wujood kirnoon ki zard mein agaya.

woh hans padi aur hanstey hue

usne yun hi apna sar jhukaya

to nazar track suit pehney buut ki tarah sakit khadhey shakhs par padi.

woh jhijak gayi.

woh is waqt noor ul huda ki wahan mojoodgi ki tawaqqo nahi kar rahi thi.

is ne -apne aap hi soch liya tha

ke raat gaye aney wala,

din chadhney tak thakan utaarta rahega. woh utthi aur ghoom kar kamre mein chali gayi.

moon light in sun light. amazing!

" woh aahista se badhbadhaye

woh baal samait kar kitchen mein aagai. fatafat orange juice nikaal kar

isne jug mein dala aur jug,

glass Samaid trey mein rakh ke.

bahadur ko thama kar lawn mein bheja phir -apne nashte ki trey tayyar kar ke woh kitchen se nikalne wali thi ke

noor ul huda juice ka glass haath mein liye kitchen ke darwaze se andar aagaye.

Hello" malihaa usey dekh kar apna haath agey bedhate woh bole to

Maliha nervous hogayi ke unse haath milaye ya nahi.

is ghabrahat mein woh unke hello ka jawab nahi dey saki to

woh gair iraadi tor par apna haath

niche kar ke iski taraf jhuk kar bole.

I'm wrong. " is baar woh aetmaad se muskuraye.

not indeed " phir unke haath mein pakde adhe khaali glass ko dekh kar boli.

aur chahiye? " no thanx

Maliha samajh nahi pa rahi thi ke

unse kis andaaz mein baat kare.

is liye baat karne se bachney ki khatir woh trey uthaye

unke barabar se guzar kar agey badh gayi magar agle hi qadam par usey ruk jana pada.

mein pandrah minute mein

naha kar aata hoon.

tab tak aap mera nashta tayyar kar lein. koi khaas ihtimaam karne ki zaroorat nahi. bas jo baqi ghar waley letey ho.

Albatta chaye strong honi chahiye.

" Gul Bano ko Hadayat dey kar

woh palte to Maliha ko dekhte hi

unke muuh se nikla.

what happened? isne bhi foran se jawab diya.

Nothing. " isne aahista se nafi mein sar hilaya.

noor ul huda-apne kamre ki

taraf badh gaye.

theek pandrah minute baad woh traozr par t shirt pehne dinning room mein the.

9Maliha dinning table par hi un ki muntazir thi.

inhen dekh kar isne Gul Bano ko aawaz dey kar nashta laane ko kaha .

nashta lag chuka tha.

noor ul huda ne niwala

muuh mein rakh kar dosre haath se akhbar uthaya phir maliha ki taraf badha kar sawalia lehjey mein boley .

news paper Maliha ne nashtey se dheyaan hata kar unke haath ki taraf dekha aur muskura kar boli.

mein nashtey ke waqt akhbar nahi padti."

" kyun? woh yun hi poochney lagey .

kyunkey akhbaron mein aisi khofnaak khabrein chapti hain ke padh kar bhook hi udd jaye.

" sach kaha." boltey hue unhon ne akhbar khoola aur padhney lage.

nashta khatam hone tak woh akhbar bhi khatam kar chuke the.

napkin se haath saaf kar ke

unhon ne akhbar ko naa kar ke rakha aur -apne liye chaye nikaltey hue isse boley.

chaye logi? "

mein chaye kam peeti hoon.

din mein sirf aik cupp.

woh bhi shaam mein

" woh bhi nashta kar chuki thi nepkin se haath saaf karte we boli.

phir akhbar uthatey hue

isne bahadur ko aawaz di.

bahadur ko bhi jaisey pata tha ke

aawaz kyun di gayi hai.

woh dosrey hi lamhey juice ka

glass liye aa pocha.

tum logon ne nashta kar liya?

glass iske haath se le kar isne poocha.

jee bi bi sahab !' isne asbat mein jawab diya.

" theek hai, tum jao. "

noor ul huda ne chaye pi kar khaali cupp table par rakhtey hue isse kaha.

" farigh ho kar mere room mein ajana." woh samajh gayi samaan set karwana chaah rahey hain aur haan mein sar hila diya.

woh kuch der baad knowk kar ke

unke kamrey mein aayi to saarey brief case khuley hue the.

aik bada ataechi case to bed par hi khula rakha tha aur khud noor ul huda haath mein hanger liye kapde pakad kar ward robe ka darwaaza khol kar

uske samney khadhey they .

Maliha ! aajao unhone palat kar

isse kaha phir ward robe mein dekhte bole.

yeh sab kis ne khareeda hai?

mein ne! baba jaan ka hukum tha ke kamrey ke sath aap ka ward robe bhi

set kar du.

mein ne to unsey bohat kaha ke pata nahi aap ko meri pasand achi bhi lage ya nahi magar woh baat adhuri chode kar yun hi chup hogayi.

woh iski taraf dekh kar muskuraye." tumhari pasand itni achi hai ke

buri lag hi nahi sakti.

magar aik problam hai.

" kya? usne poocha.

Inhein kahan rakhon?

unhon ne kapdon se bharey suit case ki taraf ishara kya.

layein mein rakh deti hoon.

" Usne badh kar unke haath se kapdey le kar bed par rakhey aur ward robe mein jagah bananey lagi.

phir suit case se kapdey nikaal kar ward robe mein latkaney lagi.

usey masroof dekh kar noor ul huda side mein ho gaye.

dressing table par se cigrette ka packet utha kar aik cigrette nikala,

phir lyter se cigrette jalate woh suit case mein se -apne documents wala bag nikaalne lagey.

tambaku ki boo mehsoos kar ke Maliha ne

ward robe mein se sar nikaal kar dekha aur unke honton mein diya cigrette dekh kar boli.

cigrette peeta aadmi ho ya dhuwan chhodta rail ka engine,

dono dikhney mein aik se lagtey hain.

" noor ul huda ne choank kar sar uthatey hue usey dekha to kehney lagi.

mai aap ko cigrette peney se mana nahi karti magar mere samney cigrette peney ki koi zaroorat nahi.

mujhe bilkul pasand nahi.

cigrette bujha de.

achanak hi iske lehjeh mein

jo istehqaq aaya tha,

usey khud bhi iska ehsas nahi huwa tha.

lekin noor ul huda ne na sirf mehsoos kya tha balki inhen acha bhi laga tha.

zaire lab muskuratey hue unhon ne cigrette aish trey mein bujhaaya.

aur koi hukum?

unki baat par usey laga ke woh kuch ziyada hi bol gayi hai to foran hi mazrat karne lagi. sorry!

mein aam tor par is

andaaz se baat nahi karti.

magar mujhe cigrette se bohat chidd hai.

" koi baat nahi.

tum mujh se har andaaz mein

baat kar sakti ho.

woh badastoor muskuratey hue boley to Maliha nazar andaaz karte hue suit case mein se aik bada packet nikaalne gayi.

woh foran bole.

usey mein khud rakh lunga.

tum rehne do.

" woh usey chode kar perfume ki bottles nikaal kar dressing table par rakhne lagi.

noor ul huda ne woh packet nikala aur usey rakhney ward robe ki taraf aaye .

isi waqt baba jaan darwaaza

baja kar andar aagaye.

aayiye baba jaan!

noor ul huda ne jaldi se

sab chode chhad kar bed par

samaan hata kar.

unke bethney ki jagah banai.

kya baat hai, tum itni subah jaag gaye.

neend nahi aayi?

neend to aagai par

aankh jald hi khul gayi.

flight mein sota raha tha, shayad is liye."

ab agey kya iradaa hai! kya job karo ge?"

nahi! mera irada hai ke

business shuru karoon. "

kyun nahi? " woh khush ho kar bole .

tumne is barey mein kuch socha hai,

kya business karo ge ?"

kuch plans to hain magar

mera khayaal hai pehley

yahan ki market ko search krloon.

" theek keh rahe ho.

magar ate hi kaam mein lag jane

ki koi zaroorat nahi.

kuch din aaraam karo,

phir un mamlaat par gour karna.

waisey ab tum aagaye ho to saari zimmaedariyan bhi tumhe hi uthani hongi.

safar ki thakan utaar lo,

phir mein tumhe zamiino ka hisaab kitaab bhi samjha dunga balkey agli baar nawab Shah jatey hue mein tumhe bhi sath le jaoonga. "

baba jaan plzzzz!

zameendari waghera mein mujhe koi dilchaspi nahi.

waisey to mein aapke sath ja sakta hoon aur jaoonga bhi.

lekin hisaab kitaab wala maamla aap -apne haath mein hi rakhen.

" noor ul huda badii inkisari sey boley the

baba jaan hasey aur kehney lage .

Mazhar Farooqi ka beta kehta hai

ke usey zameendari se dil chaspi nahi. yeh to kamaal hi ho gaya.

Bhai ji pakkey zamindar the.

miyan jee ki zindagi mein hi faslon ki buwai katai ka kaam

unhon ne -apne zimma le liya tha.

phir woh achanak hi sanjeeda ho gaye. dilchaspi ki baat ki hai tum ne mujhe bhi zamindari se dilchaspi nahi thi aur na hai .

bhai jee jab tak they,

mein ne kabhi mudd kar bhi

zamiinon ki taraf nahi dekha tha.

magar baap dada ki nishanayan khud se

alag bhi to nahi ki ja sakti.

" Maliha , noor ul huda ke baghair to samaan set kar nahi sakti thi.

aur noor ul huda, baba jaan ke sath baton mein magan the.

woh kuch der to khadi

unki baatein sunti rahi magar

jald hi bore ho gayi.

baba jaan bed par baithe the aur

noor ul huda unke samney jis jagah khadhe the,

Maliha ki taraf unki pusht thi

aur woh unki nazar mein aaye baghair kamrey se nikal sakti thi.

isne haath mein pakdi cheeze ahistagi se dressing table par rakhi aur namehsoos andaaz mein darwazey ki taraf badh gayi.

bahar jane ke liye woh jaisey hi

noor ul huda ke peechay se guzri,

bilkul achanak hi unhon ne palat kar

iski naazuk kalayi apni girift mein le li.

kahan ja rahi ho?

woh gadh badayi,

phir sambhal kar boli.

-apne kamre mein. "

koi kaam hai ya aaraam

karna chahti ho? "

dono mein se koi baat nahi hai!

" bas to kahin jane ki zaroorat nahi hai. baith jao.

unke lehjey mein -apne aap istehqaq aa gaya tha aur phir foran hi apni baat keh kar woh Maliha ka haath chodtey,

baba jaan ki taraf mudd gaye the

jaisey jantey the ke Maliha har haal mein unke hukum ki tameel keregi.

Maliha ne bhi unka haq jatana

mehsoos kiya tha

magar usey bilkul bhi

bura nahi laga aur paas hi

rakhey sofey par baith gayi.

noor ul huda aur baba jaan

aik baar phir apni baton mein lag gaye the aur woh phir se bore hone lagi thi.

magar isne dubara bahar jane ki

koshish nahi ki.

kyun key woh jaan gayi thi

ke wahan 1 shakhs aisa tha jo

use poori jaan se mehsoos kar raha tha .

Maliha ne waqai soch liya tha

ke woh dobara library nahi jayegi

magar us din jo kitaab isne issue karwai thi, woh teesrey din hi usey wapas le aayi.

library ke andar qadam rakhtey hi

isne mohtaat nazron se har taraf ka jaiza liya tha!

aur jab woh nazar nahi aaya

to mutmaen si ho kar.

kitaab wapas kar ke bahar aagai.

acha huwa jaan chhuut gayi

aur mujhe khud par jabar bhi nahi karna pada dil hi dil mein khush hoti seedhiyan utartey hue.

isne patharil‬e rawish par qadam rakha aur thitak kar ruk gayi.

rawish ke sath gali darakhton ki qitaar mein woh samney hi

aik darakht ke saaye mein

khada bazu lapetey.

usey hi dekhra tha.

Maliha ko ruktey dekh kar

woh chalta huwa iske paas aa gaya.

do din pehley mein ne

aapse kuch kaha tha.

umeed hai aapne is barey mein

kuch bhi nahi socha hoga.

Wo aisey bola jaisey usey sharminda karna chahta ho aur Maliha aik pal ko sharminda ho bhi gayi magar foran hi

sar utha kar uski taraf dekhte hue kaha.

aap ya to pagal hain ya deewany.

Maliha ke chidne ke jawab mein.

woh shararat se bola.

itna bada raaz aakhir

aap ko kis ne bta diya?

" mere wajdaan ne.

woh keh kar be nayazi se

doosri taraf dekhney lagi .

sach keh rahi hein?

woh bol kar hansa!

kya matlab?" woh bilkul nahi samjhi.

magar jawab dene ke bajaye

woh hanstaa hi raha.

woh uljhan bhare andaaz mein

usey hanstaa huwa dekhti rahi.

apni kahi baat ko socha to bhi

aisa koi lateefa samajh nahi aaya

jis par woh yun hans raha tha.

mein ne aisa kya ke diya hai

jo aap yun hans rahe hain?

" zabardasti apni hansi rokkk kar

usne Maliha ko dekha aur kaha .

"mera naam wajdan mustafa hai. "

Maliha ko foran hi iske hasne ki

wajah samajh aagai.

woh ek baar phir dil hi dil mein full speed se usey galion se Nawaz ne lagi .

aur mein pagal bhi hoon

aur deewana bhi kis liye hoon?

shayad yeh bataney ki zaroorat nahi.

" Maliha ne sar ko jhatka

aur agey badh gayi.

kya aap aaraam se kahin

baith kar meri baat sun sakti hain?

" uski aawaz par maliha ruki to woh minnat bharey lehjey mein goya huwa.

bas 5 minute.

ziyada aap ka waqt nahi lunga.

" ab Maliha ne zara dhiyaan se

uska chehra dekha.

shakal se to suljha huwa,

padha likhawa nazar aa raha tha.

Maliha ne socha,

baat sun lene mein koi harj nahi hai.

shakal se to shareef aadmi lagta hai.

agar mein tariqey se samjha du to ho sakta hai dubara pareshan na karein.

sochte sochte woh sidhiyoon par ja baithi. woh paint ki jebo mein haath daale

iske samney khada ho gaya .

mein aap se shadi karna chahta hoon. kya meri yeh khwahish sharian ya qanoonan na jaaiz hai?

" "balkl nahi. Maliha ne bolne

mein second ki der nahi lagai .

to phir? " usne poocha .

phir yeh ke aik cheez hota hai

muashra aur jis muashre mein

aap aur mein rehtey hain,

wahan rastey mein baith kar

shadiyo ke faisley nahi kiye jate. "

aap theek keh rahi hein.

" usne bhi pal bhar ki takheer ke

baghair taied ki.

aisa karein, mujhe apna address de den aur kal yahi baat mere parents

apke ghar ja kar

aap ke parents se karenge.

tab to aap ko koi aitraaz nahi hoga? "

aap baat samjhna hi nahi chahtey.

" woh chidh kar boli."

jab mere baba mujh se

puchenge ke mein aap se kahan mili?

to kya kahoongi ke rastey mein

rokkk kar aapne mujhe propose kiya

aur mein ne haan kar di.

aap mein kuch senses hai ke nahi ?

mujhe maloom hai ke yeh theek nahi hai magar mein ne khud bhi nahi socha

ke mere sath kabhi aisa hoga.

kya koi bhi shakhs yaqeen kerega

ke mujhe mohabbat ho gayi hai,

woh bhi aisi ladki se

jisey mein ne pehley kabhi dekha

bhi nahi tha.

jiska mein naam tak nahi jaanta.

agar kuch din pehley koi mujh se

kehta ke rastey mein kisi ladki ko

rokkk kar usey shadi ke liye maanao to mein kisi bhi qeemat par aisa ehmaqana kaam karne ke liye raazi nahi hota.

magar ab mein yahi kar raha hoon.

yeh sab bohat ajeeb hai.

magar kya in ajeeb

baton ko sochney ke bajaye

aap sirf mere barey mein nahi soch sakti?

woh Maliha ke peeche bani imarat ko dekh kar bol raha tha

jaisey isse mukhatib ho.

dheemi magar mazboot aawaz

mein naram lehje ke sath thehar thehar kar bolta,

bilashuba iski aawaz mein taskheer kar lainey ki taaqat hai.

Maliha qaail ho gayi .

wajdan ab Maliha ko dekh raha tha.

mein ne yeh kabhi nahi kaha ke

aap ka jawab haan mein hona chahiye. woh aik pal ko ruka, phir bola.

" aap agar chahain to

inkaar bhi kar sakti hain.

aapko haq hai.

bas itni si darkhwast hai

ke koi faisla karne se pehley bas

aik baar mere barey mein soch lijiyega.

meri zindagi aapke faisley se judi hei!

bhala mein kisi ajnabi ke

barey mein kyun sochun?

" woh be murauwati se boli.

Ajnabi hi sahi magar kya

aap apne 24 ghanton mein se

aik pal bhi mujhe nahi dey sakti?

" woh is terhan se bola ke

Maliha ne ghabra kar sar hi jhuka liya.

aur meine -apne din raat

aapko dey diye hain.

nah mein aapke siwa kuch soch sakta hoon na aap ke siwa kuch sochna chahta hoon.

bohat chaha tha mein ne

ke aap ki chahat na karoon.

magar ab kar betha hoon to

mujhe khud par koi ikhtiyar hi nahi raha.

na jane woh kya kashish hai

jo mujhe aap ki taraf khinchti hai

aur mein khincha chala aata hoon."

Maliha ne sar utha kar dekha to

woh sar jukaye sargoshian kar raha tha. magar yeh sargoshian bhi itni

wazeh to thi ke uske kaan ki

lawein surkh ho gayi.

mujhe iski baat manni hi

nahi chahiye thi.
