"Yes u may come and pls sit down".....unhone ishare se divesh ko saamne Khali kursi par baithne ka hukam diya

Divesh ke baithte hi unhone cigar munh se nikalkar dhair saara dhua ugala, uski Kasaili mehek charo taraf fail gayi, Syed sahab fikarmand they aur gambir, unhone akhbar ka wo khabar divesh ke aage rakhka,

"Ye khabar toh sheher ke bachche se bhi chupi nahi ki bairhaat mein ye koi pehli wardat nahi ghati par pehli dafa police mehekme ka koi senior afsar yun maraa hai  ye ek behad gambhir maamla hai upar se mehekme mein is baat ko lekar kafi tanav hai, upar se khaas is maamle par kal sarkari meeting rakhki gayi thi jisme district magistrate aur Tamam rajyo ke superitendent aur commissioner aur baaki senior afsaro ko bulaya gaya tha marrne wala koi mamuli aadmi nahi oosi state ka commissioner tha isliye police sargarmi se us hatyare ki talash karna chahti hai par hairat ki baat to ye hai ki jitne waha ke kotwal niyukt huye they un mein zyadatar apni jaan gawah chuke hai ya fhir gumshuda ho gaye jinhe aajtak talash nahi kara jaa saka aur jo bach gaye wo darr se maare us hatyare ke dehshat se wo jagah chodh apna tabadla karwa chuke, itna khauff hai us jagah ka ki koi waha ka transfer nahi chahta maano unhe chambal jaana pad raha ho, inhi silsilo ke chalte commissioner ko khud chanbin ke liye waha Jana pada unhone marrne se pehle jo statement darz kiya wo bilkul bairhat ke logo ke byan se milta julta tha ek sar kata murda"

"What? Ek sar kata murda?"......divesh chup na reh saka aur usne beech mein tehelte Syed sahab ko toka jo oose puri baat batate batate uthkar chehel kadmi karne lage

"Haan ek murda jo laash hokar bhi kati huyi gardan hone ke bawjud Zinda hai, jo kayi waqto se bairhaat aur uske kareeb veeran ilaako mein andhera hote hi bhatakne lagta hai"

"T..toh sir aap kehna chahte hai? Ki waqayi wo koi aatma hai?"

"Aatma hai ya haivaan? Ye faisla tab Kara ja sakta hai jab hum uske wajud se achi tarah waqif ho"

Syed sahab ne ek baar teherkar divesh ki taraf dekha, "dekho divesh ye case maine liya hai aur ye bhi janta hu ki isme kafi khatra hai maamla sangeen hai main chahta hu ki ye case ki chanbin tum karo tum ek kabil police afsar ho kayi khatarnak muzrimo ko tumne thaama hai, lekin agar tum nahi jaana chahte toh main ye case fhir kisi aur afsar ko dene ki koshish!"

"Aap ye kaisi baat kar rahe hai sir? Main bilkul is case pe kaam karna chahta hu Janna chahta hoo ki in sab ke piche kya sach hai?"

"Dekho divesh kanoon humhe aisi cheezon par yakeen karne ki ijajat nahi deta, par maine niji taur se kuch aise cases handle kiye hai jo aam case kattayi nahi they jisme dakhal insan ka nahi kisi upari hawa kisi alokik cheez ka tha jise hum aatma kehte hai supernatural taqat kehte hai, isliye main ye nahi chahta ki Josh mein tum hosh kho baitho aur koi anhonee ghat jaaye"

"Sir hum policewalo ka kaam hi toh risk hai aap befikar rahiye main ye case lene ko puri tarah se tayar hoo bataiye kab mujhe bairhaat ke liye nikalna hai? Kya mere sath koi team hogi?"

"Nahi divesh police team ko waha bhejna theek nahi hoga, ye case chupkar aur sambhalkar humhe handle karna hai jaise kufiya police karti hai lekin agar tumhe lage ki tumhe aur madad chahiye toh main fauran puri police ki ek tukdi ko waha ke liye rawana kar dunga, maine apne police afsaro ke chehero par Darr dekha hai jaise wo Mann hi mann dua kar rahe ho ki unhe waha Jana na pade"

"Toh fhir waha ka kotwal koi to hoga?"

"Ek hai lekin uski history utni achi nahi hai, wo to waha aise niyukt hai jaise waha ke thaane ke liye saja koi showpiece jise waha ki wardato se khas koi faraq nahi padta jabki wo achi tarah janta hai ki uski jagah koi aur policewala waha transfer hona nahi chahta isliye nischint hai aur hamare under mein wo town nahi aata isliye hamara uspar koi bas nahi lekin ye gutthi tum suljhaoge aur uski madad har mumkin loge"

"Ji sir lekin agar mere sath koi aur hota to mujhe kafi aasani hoti"

"Agar tum meri baat maante ho toh ek aadmi hai jiski tum madad le sakte ho, madad to kya? Wo toh khud is case par apne tarike se kaam shuru kar dega aur main chahta bhi hoo ki tum akele na jao uska tumhare sath hona kisi hathyar se kam nahi wo agar waqayi koi upari taqat ya haivaan hai toh samajh lo wo hi insaan aise masle ke liye hal sabit ho sakta hai"

"Kaun hai woh?".......mann hi mann divesh soch raha tha ki Syed sahab kya waqayi bhoot pret aur us haivan ke wajud par wishwas karte they, jabki oose ek pal ko ye koi gehri sazish lagi thi par yaha to DCP khud aisi baato pe yakeen kar raha tha tab usne pucha

"Waise toh azaan aur shekhar ka hona aise case mein laazim tha par azaan ne shekhar ke chale jaane ke baad apne peshe se kinara kar liya hai, lekin agar koi dusra naam uske baad aata hai toh wo hai ARIFIN"

"Arifin"

"Haan divesh uska naam arifin hai kisi waqt azaan ka daaya haath aur shagird kehlata tha, maine azaan ko phone kiya tha wo aise mein hajj ke liye jaa chuka hai usne hi arifin ka naam recommend Kiya hai tum jaake usse Milo oose case ke baare mein batao aur fhir mujhse ek baar milkar tum dono bairhaat ke liye rawana ho sakte ho, par haan hidayat jabtak gutthi na suljhe wapis aane ki zarurat nahi chahe kayi din Lage ya mahine"

Divesh ne haami bhari Syed sahab ko salam diya aur unki hukam ki taalim karta case ki file lekar waha se ruksat ho gaya

                               ---------

Bijliya kadak rahi thi, tufaan chal raha tha aise mein us nirjan veeran kothi ke saamne wo gaadi ruki, wo shaks bahar nikala, overcoat pehna aur kassi jeans aankho mein brown rang ka chashma, usne apne jeb mein tasbeeh padhte huye rakhka, aur ek baar us kothi ki taraf dekha bijli kadki aur pura ilaaka Roshan hua, kothi waqayi darawani lag rahi thi, tabhi laaltain liye ek buzurg naukar uske paas aakar ghabraye tehra

"Sahab aap?"

"Arifin"......bijli uske kehte hi ladki

"malik ne aapke baare mein bataya tha ki aap shaam tak aayenge par ek baat kahenge Sahab itni raat gaye akele yaha teherna wajib hoga?"....usne ghabrakar kothi ki taraf nazare uthakar oose kaha

"Tumhara kaam mujhe ghar ki chabi dena hai aaj raat main yahi tehrunga aur ek baat koi dakhalandazi nahi"

Arifin gaadi lock kar suitcase liye apna dheere dheere kadmo se sukhe patto par juta rakhkar aage badha, naukar oosi waqt oose chabi diye waha se chala gaya tha, ye kothi kayi saal se band padi thi aur ek dealer ne ise kharidkar todna chaha toh oosi waqt uski akaran maut ho gayi, kayi hatho mein ye kothi kharid bikri hokar pahuchi aur haal hi mein ek dealer ne ise hotel banana chaha to azibo garib ghatnaye shuru ho gayi kayi guest raato raat ya to bhaag Gaye ya fhir kisi upari taqat ke geraft mein aakar apni jaan khud hi le baithe, dealer ne havan karaya par koi faraq nahi pada aur aaj kayi waqto baad dealer ne faisla kiya ki wo kisi exorcist ya kisi paranormalist ki madad lega aur oose dhundhe pehla aadmi arifin mila,

Arifin ne fatak ko zor se dhakela jiske dono sirhe charcharake khulkar daaye baaye jaakar teher gaye, arifin ek pal ko tehra oose aisa laga jaise pehli manzil ke aangan mein koi khada oose hi nihaar raha tha palak jahapkte hi wo saaya gayab, arifin aage pahucha to usne main darwaje pe mota taala jhulte paaya, reh rehkar bijli chamak rahi thi aur uski dil dehla dene wali awaz,

Chabi ghumate huye tala kholkar arifin andar pahucha haveli mein roshni ki gayi thi jhumar saamne hall ka jagmag kar raha tha jabki upar neemandhera baaki upar jati sidiyo ke diwaro par lamps jal rahi thi, upar ke maale par bhi kuch waisi hi lamp ki roshniya jal rahi thi, kaalin bicha tha jispar chalte huye arifin ne charo taraf ghumkat ucchi kothi ke chatt tak sar uthaya chatt par jagah jagah rangeen sheesho par akritiya bani thi,

Raat koi 10 ke paar tha arifin apne kamre mein baitha kamre ki jalti light mein ek kitab padh raha tha par padh wo kam raha tha aur uska dhyan kothi ke har taraf kaan lagaye khada tha, tabhi ek awaz oose kisi darwaje ke khulne ki huyi aur fhir koi tej kadmo se sidiyo se niche utara, arifin fauran bahar aaya usne maale se niche pehle sidiyo par aur hall mein jhaaka koi nahi tha, mombattiya niche ki bhuj chuki thi jabki saari khidkiya band thi, usne us darwaje ko talasha jiski khulne ki awaz usne pehle suni thi, wo daayi taraf ka darwaja tha jo badastur band tha usne uspar ek taala jhulte paaya, waqt kuch aur guzra arifin khaana khaake bahar se aaya tha wo gambhir chehra liye upari manzil ke maale par tehelta hua ek khuli khidki ki taraf dekhne laga, shayad kisi wajah se wo khul gayi thi, ho ho karti hawao ka shor arifin ne puri taqat se dono pallo ko kheechkar khidki lagai,

Wo wapis hall mein pahucha ki tabhi grandfather clock ki ghanti ki gunz baj uthi, wo awaz arifin ko chauka gayi, suyi 12 baje par pahuch chuki thi, oose tabhi apne daaye taraf ki paas ki khidki khadakti mehsus huyi, aisa lag raha tha jaise oose bahar se koi Peet raha tha, ya shayad tej tufan ki wajah se aisa ho raha tha, arifin ne dhyan na dete huye table par mombatti sajaya uska chehra saqt tha nazare mombattiyo ki jalati lau par gadi huyi, achanak ho ho karti hawa ka shor oose apne baayi taraf sunai Diya, usne palatkar dekha ek galiyara baaki kamro ki taraf jata tha aur theek us galiyare ke shuru hote diwar par parda latka hua tha jo hawa se ud raha tha jabki darwaje khidkiya band they andar hawa na aane ka koi zariya nahi tha,

Bijli reh rehke kadak rahi thi jiski roshni neemandhere hall ko ek baar ke liye Roshan kar rahi thi, achanak mombattiya apne aap ek ek kar bhuj gayi, arifin ko kuch azib laga usne dobara mombattiya jalayi ab sirf daaye taraf ki khidki nahi aas paas ke tamam khidkiya waise hi khadakne lage they, achanak ek mombatti table se niche carpet par girkar aag paida karne lagi, arifin ne uthkar fauran uspar thokar marte huye pao ki oose bujha diya, usne piche mudkar dekha toh pura hall neemandhere mein dub chuka tha saari diwaro ki lamp roshniya al bhuj kar band ho chuki thi, aisa lagta tha jaise light chali gayi thi, hawa hall mein dakhil ho raha tha tabhi oose wohi saaya upari maale pe guzarta mehsus hua jaise wo sidiyo ki taraf aa raha tha, arifin andhere mein chalta laaltain jalaye sidiyo par aakar tehra, wo saaya waqayi niche ki taraf jaise utar Raha tha, par arifin ko na Darr tha na ghabrahat usne aankhe ulat li aur kuch padha, aankh band karte hi oose ek aurat ka chehra khud ko ghurta dikha aur tabhi usne aankhe kholi ek tej hawa ka jhatka oose apne pure badan ko siharte mehsus hua, sari band khidkiya apne aap ek ke baad ek khul gayi, tamam kamro ke darwaje bhi

Arifin daudta sidiyo se upar pahucha usne apne jeb se ek powder ka packet nikala aur oose mutthi mein liye hawa mein fhunk diya, ho ho karti hawao ka shor dur hone laga aur theek tabhi ek darwaja apne aap khul gaya, arifin ahiste se uske chaukhat par pahucha, usne laaltain ki lau se bheetar roshni daali, wo upar jaati sidiya thi jo chatt ki taraf khul rahi thi,

Arifin sidiyo se savdhani se upar pahucha theek tabhi uske piche hi niche ka wo darwaja apne aap lag gaya laaltain ki roshni bhi tej bahar ki hawa se bhuj gayi, arifin ko mehsus hua ki wo fass chuka tha, wo upar pahucha, kothi ki chatt bahut lambi faili thi, wo chalta hua ek taraf aaya tabhi oose andhere ke ek sirhe se koi apne kareeb aata mehsus hua lekin wo chal nahi Raha tha balki uski taraf udta hua usse kuch faasle tha, zameen pe uske pao nahi they, arifin ne fauran laaltain faikhi aur ek choti si churi ka rukh us saaye ki taraf haath uthaaye kiya, bijli ki tej chamak uthi lekin saaya dikhai na diya lekin andhera hote hi wo saya dikhne laga usne kala libas pehna tha,

Wo arifin se ek haath dur uske saamne hawa mein jaise tair raha tha, wo waqayi wohi aurat thi jise kuch dair pehle arifin ne aankh munde dekha tha, wo gusse mein thi aur arifin ko apne safed aankho se kha jaane bhari nazro se ghurr rahi thi,

"Main janta hoo tu mujhe maar Dene ke liye betaab hai lekin main tera koi nuksan nahi chahta behtar yahi hai ki is kothi se dafa ho jaa main tujhe baksh dunga"

Achanak wo dohri hassi hassne lagi, uski hassi aisa lagta tha charo taraf gunz rahi thi, jaise waha wo nahi kayi log hass rahe ho, arifin ne kuch padhna shuru kiya hi tha ki achanak oose apni gardan aur kalai par tikhi jalan mehsus huyi, wo sisak utha bijli ki roshani mein usne paaya ki uski kalai aur gardan par nakhun ke gehre kharoch they, agar usne wo padhi churi uske taraf taani na hoti toh shayad uska hamla aur bhi ghatak hota, wo apne kharoch se beh rahe khoon ko haatho mein tatolne laga, tabhi ek kaan phaadh dene waali cheekh oose apne piche mehsus huyi, aur wohi bhayanak aurat ka chehra oose dikha, wo awaz itni bhayavaah thi ki kisi ka bhi kaleja munh ko aa jaye, wo awaz nahi koi taqat thi jiske jhatke se arifin saamne kuch duri pe munh ke bal ja gira, usne palatkar wohi churi saamne taani, to wo aurat ka saaya hawa mein wohi teher gaya theek uske upar,

Wo dohri awaz mein ghurra rahi thi, ab wo puri dikhne lagi bijli ki roshni mein bhi, uski safed aankhe, lambe lambe nukile thuddi tak pahuchte daant aur sanp jaisa fann failaaye uske baal, wo arifin ke kabu se bahar thi,

"Tu jitna bhi zor laga le mera kuch nahi kar payegi, tujhe yaha se jaana hoga, tere chalte kayi logo ne yaha jaan di hai unhe bemaut maara hai tune"

"Yyyeeee mera ghar hai main yaha ki Malkin hoo aur mere baad yaha koi nahi reh sakta koi nahii"......wo dahadhi uski dohri awaz se chatt par bane wo sheesho par apne aap daraar paida ho gai, uski awaz pure kothi ko jaise dehla rahi thi

"Tu Malkin thi jab Zinda insan thi, par ab tu marr chuki hai tere kiye gunah se tu isi duniya mein kayamat tak rahegi fhir khuda tujhe tere kiye ka silha dozakh mein tujhe bhejkar dega, lekin us khuda ne mujhe zariya banaya hai tera taaki tujhe aur gunah karne se Roku aur is faani duniya se tujhe nest nabut kar dozakh ki aag mein pahuchau jo ki Tera asli thikana hai"

Arifin ke itna kehte hi wo gusse se tilmila uthi aur arfin par kisi baaz ki tarah jhapatne ko huyi, arifin raste se hat gaya usne fauran do ayat padhe aur ek darts jaisi nukili faikne wali cheez par chuka aur oose uske gale pe de faikha, wo us aatma ko waqayi chuba aur uski tej cheekh nikal gayi saare daraar pade ssheshe uski cheekho se tutkar niche hall mein girne lage, wo wohi tadapkar baith gayi tabhi usne palatwar karna chaha to oose apne gardan ko jala hua paaya, arifin ne oose mauka nahi diya aur wo kuch padhta raha tabhi gaib se ek zanjeer uske gardan par aa lipati, wo wo aurat bhauklaane lagi, arifin ne dobara dusra dart uske maathe pe faika jiske maathe pe chubte hi wo dard se bilbila uthi, arifin ne wohi baithkar dhuni jalayi, chalk se kuch lakeere kheechi hawa teher gayi, wo zanjeer saanp ki tarah dohri awaz mein dahadhti us aurat ke pure shareer par bandh gaya,

"Ye koi Jadu nahi aamil ka tilasm hai, ab is dua ke baad tu jalkar dhua ho jayegi"

"Nahiiii mujhe baksh do fariyad hai".....wo dohri awaz mein zanjeer mein jakdi kisi marrte  insan ki tarah fariyad karne lagi

Par arifin ne koi parwah nahi ki, wo janta tha aise ziddi aatmao aur shaitani rooho ko, "tu ab shaitan ki perokar ban chuki ab tujhe jaana hoga"....itna kehkar wo dua padhne laga uske baad dhuni ki dhaar tej ho gayi charo taraf uski mehek aur dhua gam gam uthne laga us dhuye ke aatma ko chute hi wo aise tadapne lagi jaise oose ghutan ho rahi ho, tabhi us aatma ko apne aage aag ki lapate dikhi wo aag oose apne ghere mein lene lagi aur dekhte hi dekhte uski cheekho ke sath uska wajud hawa hota gaya, ab na wo zanjeer thi na wo aurat us jagah par uska namonishan mit chuka tha, arifin ne chain ki saas li, raat ke badal chatt chuke they savera ka Fajr ho raha tha

Arifin ne jeb se ek phone nikala aur wohi diwar ke sahare ek jagah baithkar usne property dealer ko phone lagaya, tatkal ghanti ka uttar mila "kaam ho gaya hai wo jaa chuki ab kothi tumhari paak ho chuki".....itna kehkar usne phone cut kar diya, wo jaise aaya tha waise hi suitcase liye kuch hi dair mein aankho mein chashma chadhaaye kothi ke fatak se gaadi mein sawar huye waha se nikal gaya,

Suraj ki tej roshni jab uske nange badan par padi to us aatma ki di kalai aur gardan ki kharoch apne aap gayab hone lagi, arifin apne balcony mein ghutno ke bal baitha Suraj nikalte dekh raha tha, wo wapis uthkar kursi se apna shirt uthaaye sliding door kholta wapis andar bedroom mein dakhil hua,

To be continued..

Haww haww karte kayi kutte ro rahe they, paas mein ek ghodo ka astabal tha jinme band ghode maare darr se hinhina rahe they, aisa lagta tha jaise un bezubano ka agaah dol gaya tha ki wo aa raha hai, town ke bahar kabrustan bilkul kohre ke sannate mein duba tha,

"Ye janwar itne bechain kyu ho rahe hai? Shayad gaon ka mahoul hi aisa hai yaha ka"

"Nahi divesh ye janwar pehchan gaye hai us awaz ko isliye maare dehshat ke beqabu ho rahe hai"......arifin ki ek tak nazar sheeshe se bahar town ke bahari sirhe par gadi huyi thi, divesh bhi waise aankh lagaye khada tha

"Ye awaz kaisi? Kisi aur ghode ki aur kadamo ki bhi".....divesh ne ek dum se kaha toh arifin chauka

"Wohi hai"

Divesh aur arifin dono town ke bahar ke kabrustan Wale raste ki taraf dekhne lage jo sidha rasta aage kheton se guzarte huye jungle ki taraf jata tha, kohre ke saaye mein ek aadmi ghode pe sawar teji se town mein dakhil ho raha tha, uska pehnava Shahi 16 shatabdi ke rajwade jaisa tha haatho mein kaale dastane they jabki kad bahut ucha tha, aur uska ghoda bhi aam janwar jaisa nahi balki azib sa lag raha tha wo hinhinata hua dauda chala aa raha tha, wo ekdum paas aaya aur theek chaupal ke beech aakar tehra, wo ghode se utara, toh divesh ne oose kafi kareeb se dekha

"My god iska toh sar hi nahi ulte gardan ka gosht latak raha hai aur usse betartib khoon  nikal raha hai"

Arifin ka chehra ekdum safed pad gaya wo oose gaur se dekhne ki taav na laa saka, bahar wo sar kata haivan aise talwar liye khada charo taraf ghum raha tha jaise oose intejar ho kisi insan ka ki koi bahar aaye, divesh jhat se bazu ki diwar mein tange jacket ke holster se loaded revolver nikaalkar bahar jaane laga

Arifin ne ekdum se oose piche se thama "pagal ho gaye ho kahan jaa rahe ho?"

"Mujhe yakeen nahi hota ki ye asli sar kata murda hai ye koi sazish hai logo mein dehshat failakar usse ye apni dhaal bana raha hai main iska pardafash karke rahunga iska picha karunga"

"Pagal mat bano divesh ye koi insaan nahi hai bemaut maare jaoge apne gusse ko kabu karo ye koi aam muzrim nahi hai ki tum jaoge oose shoot karoge ya fhir oospar kabu paake oose geraftar kar loge"

Arifin ne jabran uski banduk haatho se cheeni oose wapis sheeshe ke paas laaya uspar ungli dikhakar oose gaur se uski kad kathi aur gardan ka zakhmi hissa dikhane laga jaha sar ke bajay waha se khoon beh raha tha "kya ab bhi tumhein lagta hai ki ye waqayi insan hai? Kya bina sar ke koi insan zinda yu chal fhir sakta hai? Ye koi jadugar nahi hai na hi koi pahucha hua shatir muzrim ye ek shaitani taqat jiska raaz bahut gehra hai dekho oose gaur se agar abhi tum bahar nikle toh hum jis maqsad ke liye aaye hai wo aaj hi adhura reh jayega aur tum apni jaan gawah baithoge"

Achanak wo sar kata haivan jaise guesthouse ki taraf teherkar upari maale ki taraf apni gardan aur seene ko upar ki taraf yun karta hai jaise wo upari manzil ki taraf dekhta arifin aur divesh ko hi ghurr raha tha, arifin ko azib si bechaini huyi, usne jaldi se saamne mota parda kheech diya, aur maare ghabrahat ke do kadam piche hatkar apne dhadakte dil par kabu paane laga, uska saamna kayi napak roohon se jinnato se aur shaitani taqato se hua tha lekin aajtak usne itna bhayanak manzar nahi dekha tha, apne dhadakte dil par kabu pate hi wo normal hokar divesh ko dekhne laga,

"Wo humhe hi dekh raha tha oose malum chal chuka tha ki hum oose dekh rahe hai"....divesh arifin ki baat se lajawab ho gaya fhir usne kaha

"Toh kya aise chupe rehkar darrkar hamara kaam kaise banega? Hum aage kaise investigation karenge waise bhi yaha ka inspector aur kotwal bilkul darphok hai sabko apni jaan pyari hai main kal hi DCP sahab se baat karke in logo ke khilaf strict action lunga par tum itna Darr kyu rahe ho? Tumhare mathe par pasina"

"Kyunki Mera saamna ziddi aatmao se hua hai aisi shaitani taqat se nahi, jo marrkar bhi maraa na ho"

                            ---------

Unhe bahar Sadako par us haivan ke ghode ki hinhinane ki fhir awaz sunai di divesh daudkar parde ki jhiri se jhakne laga wo ghodhsawar sar kata haivaan apne ghode ki lagaam Thame teji se wapis town se bahar nikal gaya andhere kohre mein dur kahi wo gayab ho chuka tha, divesh parde ko chodh wapis aakar arifin ke samne kursi par baith gaya, us raat Wo soye nahi raat bhar jaage rahe bhala aisa manzar dekhkar kise neend aane wali thi? Arifin paani peekar glass ko khaali mej par rakhkar oose yun hi ghur raha tha jaise uski nazare kisi gehri soch mein dubi ho, divesh cigarette pee raha tha thodi der bad usne astray mein oose jhonka aur fhir arifin ke mukhatib hua,

"Toh tumne ab kya nateeja nikaala hai?"

Divesh ki baat sunkar arifin ka dhyan tuta usne fhir gambhirta se kehna shuru kiya "ye jo koi bhi hai aaj se nahi kayi saalo se yun in veerano mein bhatak raha hai ye jungle se nikalta hai kahan se aata hai koi nahi janta? Picha karne ki kabhi kisi ne himmat nahi ki, agar ki ya to wo marr gaya ya fhir gumshuda ho gaya zaahir hai laash logo ko dhundhe nahi mili, par ye haivaan shaapit hai"

"Aisa kaise keh sakte ho tum?"

"Kyunki aksar aisi napak shaitani taqate kisi shrap ki wajah se marrkar bhi is duniya se juda nahi ho pati ya koi adhuri khwahish jiska aehed lekar wo maraa ho, jiske gunaho se khuda ne oose na mukti di, na jahannam mein dakhil kiya, wo bechaini se yu hi bhatak raha hai, aur logo ki bali chadha raha hai unka qatal karte fhir raha hai tumne ek baat gaur ki hogi ye sar kaatkar logo ka leke jata nahi kisse kahaniyo mein tumne suna toh hoga ki aksar sar kata rooh aisa hi kuch karta hai par ye aisa nahi karta"

"Toh kya yeh kisi shaitani tantrik ke kaabu mein hai jiske liye ye aise town mein apna barso se dehshat faila Raha hai aamtaur par movies mein toh aisa hi hota hai videshi kahaniyo mein bhi yahi likha hota hai"

"Nahi tantrik ka kaam nahi ho sakta town ke log ise bahut purani aatma batate hai ho sakta hai ye apne hi sharap ke kaaran duniya mein fasa ho mujhe aur janne ke liye waqt chahiye main amal par baithunga uske liye mujhe ekaant chahiye"

"Theek hai par arifin main in sab baaton par ab bhi dil se yakeen nahi kar pa raha ye sab cheeze sirf andhwishwas ko badhawa de rahi hai"

"Main tumhare yakeen ka ilaaj to nahi kar sakta par main is sar kata haivan ke Raaz ko zarur janne ki mumkin koshish karunga taaki main ise aur logo mein dehshat aur qatleaam machane se rok saku"

                            

Sard kohra chaya hua tha taqreeban lamba fasla tayy karne ke baad apne ghode pe savaar arifin aur divesh us ilaake pahuche jo tab bhi veeraniyat aur sannate mein duba tha, Suraj ka kahi namonishan nahi tha, aasman badalo se ghira tha, arifin apne ghode se utara jabki divesh dheere dheere apne ghode pe chalte huye aage us raste pahuchkar utara jaha commissioner yashwant ki laash mili thi, kachchi sadak se dhalan niche ja rahi thi dono taraf jaha se lambe lambe khet shuru hote they aur jinka aakhri hissa jungle ki taraf uthta tha, hawao se paid lehra rahe they khet aisa tha jaise ki khud ghana jungle, mann hi mann divesh ne socha ki lagta tha in kheto ki dekhbhal arso se kisi ne nahi ki, na kataai ki thi, wo aage bargad ke paid ke paas tehra jaha inspector dinkar ne oose dikhaya tha, waha panchnaama tha aur ek taraf aur ek nishaan jaha commissioner yashwant ka sar katkar pada tha, wo tassvar karte uska dil sihar gaya,

Udhar arifin kisi aur soch mein tha, usne aasman ki taraf dekha fhir ho ho karti hawao ka shor sunne laga, dur dur tak koi nahi, charo taraf veerana usne baggiwale hariram ki laash ke panchnaame ki taraf dekha jo sadak ke beecho beech bana tha, wohi dusri taraf dhalaan se niche kheto ke khule hisse mein do nishanat aur they, jaha uska kata baazu aur sar police ko pada mila tha, usne jaise aankhe band ki to achanak oose fhir bechaini uthi hariram ki cheekh aur uski Kati gardan se fawaare sa nikalta khoon aur uska kata sar baazu arifin ko ekdum aankho ke saamne girte dikha, usne ekdum se hadbadakar aankhe kholi, uski nazar fhir saamne junglo ki taraf thithak gayi jiske purane paid hawa se lehra rahe they,

Divesh uske paas aaya, "kya hua?"....usne aate hi pucha,....."wo jungle dekh rahe ho?"....arifin ne kaha divesh bhi uski nazar ka picha karta saamne jaha khet khatam hota tha us jungle ki taraf dekhne laga,

"Wo ghodh sawar sar kata wohi se aaya hoga"

"Par ye jungle to bahut ghana hai dinkar ne bataya tha mujhe"

"Tum mano na mano us molvi sahab ne jo baat kahi wo bilkul sach hai, ye jungle hi uska thikana hai agar humhe apni padtal shuru karni hogi toh inhi junglo se karni hogi"

"Lekin waha koi jata nahi hai, log ghabrate hai aur waise bhi dopaharbaad hi log apne apne gharo mein ghus jate hai, koi town se bahar nahi teherta par tum theek keh rahe ho humhe us haivan ki asliyat yahi se pata chal sakti hai lekin agar uska picha kare toh hamara kaam aasan ho sakta hai"

"Oose malum chal jata hai jinhone bhi uska picha kiya wo ya to maara gaya ya gumshuda, par wo log gum nahi huye honge us haivaan ne maarkar unki laash kahi ghane jungle mein hi faikh di hogi ek baar jungle ka daura karna padega"

Divesh ne koi jawab nahi Diya wo dono wapis ghode pe sawar hokar waha se wapis town ki taraf ka rukh kiye, kyunki zyada dair waha teherna unke liye mushkil ho sakta tha, din dopahar se hi andher sa hone laga tha, town ke kareeb pahuchte pahuchte divesh ne arifin se kaha "main kotwal hoke aata hu tum guesthouse chale jaana"

Itna kehkar divesh town mein dakhil hote huye dusri or ghoda daudaaye chala gaya, lekin arifin abhi kuch dair aur bahar ghumna chahta tha, wo us jagah ka jayeza le raha tha, wo ghode ko liye abhi khule maidan ki taraf se town ki taraf jaa hi raha tha tabhi oose dur ek ladki dikhi jisne kaale rang ka vilayati gown pehna hua tha uske baal bhi kaale rangat ke they wo ek patthar ke paas ghutno ke bal baithi thi aur wo jaha baithi huyi thi uske daaye taraf jungle ka rasta jata tha, arifin ghode ko sehlaate uski taraf dheeme dheeme pahucha aisa lagta tha jaise wo prathna kar rahi thi, arifin ne dekha ki wo pattharo se bana koi chota pratima tha jiske aas paas mombattiya jal rahi thi,

Arifin ghode par se utara aur uske kareeb pahucha, us ladki ko shayad ahesas ho chuka tha, usne palatkar uthte huye arifin ko apne kareeb aate dekha wo oose sawali nazaro se hadbadakar dekhne lagi kyunki wo uske liye ajnabi tha, arifin ne muskurakar ooska abhivadan kiya, jispar wo bhi muskurayi

"main yaha se guzar raha tha toh aapko yaha akele veerane mein baitha dekh socha ki puch lu ki aapko koi pareshani to nahi"

"Kya tanhai mein Baithna koi fikarmand wali baat hoti hai? Waise main yaha aksar town se bahar aakar baithti hoo bytheway aap is town ke lagte nahi hai"

"Ji mera naam arifin hai main inspector dinkar ka dost hoo aur apne dost divesh ke sath yaha aaya hoo"

"Oh acha acha to wo dono aap hai humne bhi apne father se suna tha ki koi do jane sheher se yaha ghumne aaye hai lekin is jagah mein aisa kya dikha aapko jo aapne yaha aane ka faisla liya?"

"Kyu?"

"Lagta hai aapko aapke dost inspector sahab ne bataya nahi waise aapko aaye kitna din hua yaha?"

"Kal hi aaye they"

"Oh tab toh aap ye baat jante honge ki yaha din dhalte hi kya hota hai?"

"Janta hoo matlab ab jaan gaya hoo toh kya aap manti hai ki is town par us shaitani taqat ka saaya hai?"

"Jab se hosh sambhala hai tabse yaha maine sirf oosi ke baarein mein dekha aur suna hai, wo kaise logo ko berehmi se maar deta hai, Hum sab town ke log darr darrkar rehte hai khair jaane dijiye aap ye bataiye aap karte kya hai?"

"Filhal to berozgar hoo ek jagah naukri ki baat ki hai sheher jaunga toh dekhta hu aage kya hota hai?"

"Jo hoga ishwar usme aapki zarur madad karega main bhi chahti hoo ki yaha se dur chali jau kaun yaha ghut ghut kar jeena chahega?"

"Bura na maane to aapse ye puch sakta hu ki abhi kuch dair pehle aap yaha baithkar kya kar rahi thi? Aur ye pattharo ki bani kya akriti hai?"

"Ye meri maa ki aakhri nishani hai mere liye, main jab choti thi to unke sath yahi baithkar khela karti thi, aur unke sath milkar ye pattharo se ye akriti banati thi, aaj ye muqammal huye saal ho gaye par meri maa aaj mere sath mauzud nahi"

Uski awaz bhari ho gayi, arifin ne uske kandhe par hath rakhkar oose samjhaya, fhir usne baaton ka rukh moda "acha waise maine apna naam aapko bataya par aapne nahi"

"Maaf karna zazbat mein toh waqayi apna taqalluf (parichay) karana hi bhul gayi main Marla hoo Marla Fernandes Joseph Fernandes ki beti jo yaha ke mukhya hai"

"Oh that's great chaliye aap se mil liya to aapke walid se bhi mulaqat ho jayegi waise aapko Darr nahi lagta ki itne dur aap town se bahar yaha hai"

"Aadat ho gayi waise father ko mera ana town se bahar pasand nahi, unki fikar jayez bhi hai hai waise wo chahte bhi they ki wo aap dono ko dekhe kyu na kal shaam aap hamare yaha party mein aaye town ke baaki log bhi aayenge"

"Koi special baat hai?"

"Yun hi samajh lijiye darasal meri shadi fix ho rahi hai town ke hi unke dost ke bete harry ke sath"

Na jaane bolte bolte kyu wo udas ho gayi?....arifin ne oose badhai di dono khamoshi se sath chalne lage, "kya aap is shadi se khush nahi?"

"N..nahi toh Main to bahut khush hoo mujhe bas yahi gam hai ki wo mujhe yaha se le jayega aur dad bhi yahi chahte hain ki main ye manhus jagah chodhkar yaha se chali jau, lekin sach puchiye toh na unko chodhne ka dil hai aur na hi is jagah ko"......usne piche mudkar apni maa ki banayi us patthar ki pratima ko dekhte huye kaha

"Khair koi nahi aapse baat karke mujhe bahut acha laga"

"Waise mr.arifin aapki koi saathi nahi matlab kya aapki shadi ho chuki hai?"

"Hahaha nahi aur na ho sakegi, kyunki jo dil ke kareeb thi oose khuda ne pehle hi kisi aur ka kar diya, aur main uske liye shayad layak nahi tha"

Arifin waha par thoda udaas ho gaya, toh jaise Marla ne usse maanfi maangi shayad ye puchkar usne uska dil dukhaya tha par arifin ne ooske maafi ko nakarate huye hasskar oose mana kiya "aisi koi bat nahi hai aap khamokhah dil pe le rahi hai waise aapse main!"

Tabhi achanak badalo mein gargarahat shuru ho gayi, bijliya kadakne lagi aur ekdum se hawaye tej chalne lagi, dono aasman aur charo taraf aandhi uthti dekhne lage, Marla bhauklaaye arifin ka haath thaame oose ghode ke paas leke aayi, "kya aap mujhe town tak chodh denge? Dekhiye abhi koi baat mat puchna Suraj waqt se pehle chup gaya hai aur lagta hai tufan aane wala hai jis wajah se andhera ho raha hai, behtar yahi hai ki ab hum yaha se jaldi se nikal jaaye"

"The..ek hai".....tabhi hadbadaye arifin ne oose ghode pe chadhaya achanak bijli kadki usne palatkar dekha wo ghana jungle ka rasta oose bhaynak jaan padne laga

"Udhar mat dekho ye rasta jungle ki taraf jata hai zyada yaha teherna theek nahi wo kabhi bhi aa sakta hai chalo jaldi karo"

Arifin dobara ghode pe sawar hokar oose tej dauda deta hai, jabtak wo town mein dakhil huye tabtalak tufaan badh chuka tha, logo mein afra tafri mach rahi thi, dukaan thela sab samait rahe aur band kar rahe they, town ka manzar mausam ke karwat lete aur andhere ke ho jaane ke chalte bilkul badal gaya tha, har koi ghabrahat mein ghar bhaage jaa raha tha, kuch dair ek jagah pahuchkar marla ke kehte hi arifin ne ghode ki lagaam kheechi, marla teji se utari usne uska shukriyada kiya "fhir mulaqat hogi aur ek baat pls father ko ye mat kehna ki main town ke bahar ghum Rahi thi"....arifin ne muskurakar oose nischint hone ka ishara kiya wo muskurakar apne gown ke nichle sirhe ko thaame dono haatho se ek bari si aalishan kothi mein jaa dakhil huyi ek naukrani oosi ke intejar mein waha baithi thi usne arifin ko ek jhalak dekha aur darwaja laga liya, arifin dugni teji se ghode ko daudaaye wapis kotwal ki taraf pahucha tabtalak raste mein sannata cha gaya tha ikke dukke log dikh rahe they, usne bahar se chillaya aur divesh ko awaz di toh kotwal se inspector dinkar ne oose hairani se waha dekha aur bataya ki divesh to kabka guesthouse ja chuka tha usne arifin ko bhi jald se jald guesthouse chale jaane ki salah di, arifin dobara astabal ki taraf pahucha usne apna ghoda waha chodha aur waapis paidal daudta guesthouse pahucha jo waha se kuch fasle tha, tabtalak baarish shuru ho chuki thi, aur aasman kaale badalo se andher mein dub chuka tha,

                            -----------

"Hmmm marla Fernandes jo mukhya Joseph Fernandes ki beti hai wo tumhe town se bahar mili, jisne humhe invitation diya hai kal shaam ki dawat ka, lekin arifin inspector dinkar ne pehle hi mujhe kotwal mein ye khabar di ki Joseph Fernandes ne hum dono ke liye nyota bhijwaya hai ki hum unki party mein shareeq ho"

"Yaani wo humhe Janna chahte hai ki hum yaha kyu aaye hai?"

"Sirf wo nahi town ke aur log bhi, khair inspector dinkar ne ye bhi bataya ki yaha raat ki party mein shareeq hona matlab saari raat wohi teherna us sar Kate haivaan ka khauff bhi to hai"

"Kamaal ke hai yaha ke log us haivan ki dehshat ke sath khud ko dhaalna bhi Roz marha ki zindagi mein jante hai"

Tabhi ghode ki tej hinhinaane ki awaz unhe sunai dene lagi, divesh ne phati aankho se arifin ki taraf dekha "wohi hai".....itna kehkar dono sheeshe ke paas aakar aangan se bahar dekhne lage, wohi kaala ghoda uspe savar wohi sar kata murda wohi pehnava, wohi haatho mein talwar aur wo kohre mein teji se guzarta guesthouse se guzarkar aage chala gaya, divesh ne arifin ki taraf dekha

"Kaash hum iska picha kar sakte"

"Nahi divesh ye sahi waqt nahi abhi oose ilm na hone paaye ki hum uspar nazar rakhke huye hai tum so jao main aaj dair raat tak amal par dusre kamre mein baithunga"

Itna kehkar arifin dusre kamre mein jakar band ho gaya, raat kaafi ho chuki thi, divesh wapis bistar par aakar lait gaya, tamaam raat oose ghode ke kadmo ki awaz aur uski hinhinahat charo taraf gunzti sunai de Rahi thi, kutte kahi dur ro rahe they astabal ke ghode, baaki janwaro ki bhi ghabrayi awaz divesh ko sunai de Rahi thi, achanak usne sar uthaaye dusre kamre ki taraf jhaka jaha arifin ne khud ko band kar liya tha, na jaane wo andar kya kar raha tha?

                  -----------

Udhar amal par baitha gup andhere kamre mein arifin ko bhi bahar ke un janwaro ki rone ki awaz sunai de Rahi thi, uski aankhe kabse band thi aur paas mein rakhki diye ki lau phadhphada rahi thi, achanak uske jism mein kapni uthni shuru ho gayi usne apni aankhe kholi wo jaise band kamre mein nahi oosi jungle ke paas wohi jhadhiyo par baitha tha charo taraf ghana kohra aur andhera, ullu ki uche paido se aati awaz, vatavaran sannate mein duba tha, achanak oose apne kareeb se wo sar kata haivan ghode par daudta uske bilkul kareeb se guzarta dikhai dene laga aur ekdum se wo apni talwar lehraaye wohi pe tehra theek uske saamne, arifin wohi chupchap baitha oose ghurr raha tha aisa lag raha tha jaise wo arifin ko dekh raha tha lekin uski gardan par sar ke bajaay waha se arifin ko khoon behta dikhai dene laga wo waise hi kuch pal tehra aur fhir jungle ke us raste ki taraf tej ghoda daudaaye kohre mein kahi gum ho gaya, achanak arifin ne apni aankhe kholi wo apne kamre mein tha is baar oose apna pura kamra thanda hota mehsus hua, aur dekhte hi dekhte kayi log aas paas chatt ki diwaar jitne lambe kad kathi ke safed kapro mein lipate khade they, arifin ne saqt chehre se un sabki taraf ek nazar dekha unka chehra nahi dikh raha tha, lekin pura kamra ghann ghann jaisi awaaz se bhara tha, achanak bhaari kayi mardo ki ek sath awaz oose sunai di,

"Kyu bulaya humhe?"

"Jawab ke liye ye jo koi bhi hai kaun hai? Kya koi shaitani taqat ya koi rooh?"

"Tumhare hi biradari ka ek berehem insan jiski dardnak qatal apne apno ke haatho ne oose andha aur badla mein tabdil kar diya hai, wo yun hi bhatakta rahega aur jo koi bhi oose rokega wo oose bedardi se maut ke ghat utar dega"

"Mujhe oose rokna hai uska koi tod bataiye, kya aap log milkar oose rok nahi sakte oose wapis dozakh mein pahucha nahi sakte?"

"Wo baddua mein bandha ek kaidi rooh hai jo jabtak is kasbe ko puri tarah se kabrustan nahi bana dega oose sukoon nahi milega, oose rokne ka bas ek hi rasta hai"

"Kya?"

"Uske us sar Kate murda halat mein tumhe oose kisi bhi tarah kaabu paakar Suraj ke aage pesh karna hai, isse uska qaid murda shareer aag ke lapato mein shaitani taqat kho dega aur uski rooh fauran is duniya se fana ho jayegi par ye kam muskil hai"

"Main akela insan uspe kabu nahi paa sakta"

"Fajr ke pau fhatte hi jab tum oose kaabu mein Puri tarah kar loge toh tum hum mein se sabse taqatwar jinnat ko pukaroge hamari jamaat aakar us haivaan ko apne aag se jalana shuru karegi aur Suraj ki pehli roshni ooska wajud hamesha ke liye Mita degi"

Arifin ne samjhte huye sar hilaya fhir usne agarbatti jalayi aur unhe jaane ka hukam dekar duayein padhi wo log ek ke baad ek gayab hone lage, jab divesh ki aankh khuli toh usne arifin ko ubaasi lete huye apne bistar par baitha paya, aisa lagta tha wo puri raat soya nahi tha..

Agle din Divesh us waqt apne guesthouse ke bedroom mein beshud laita hua tha, jabki doctor ne aakar oose marham Patti aur kuch dawaiya di thi, us waqt kamre mein divesh ke paas doctor jo sirhane baitha uska jayeza le raha tha toh dusri taraf fikarmand aur soch mein khada arifin mauzud tha, wohi inspector dinkar ek taraf arifin ke baazu mein khada doctor ki taraf to kabhi behosh laite divesh ki taraf dekh raha tha,

Kamre mein guesthouse ka naukar aur do hawaldar mauzud they, doctor ne nischint hokar uthte huye arifin ki taraf dekha "he is out of danger now, pulse normal hai sirf chotein aayi hai jo kuch din mein bhar jayegi, baaki inhe Aram ki salah dijiyega"

Doctor bhi kal raat ke waqye se waqif tha, usne divesh aur arifin ko kismatwala hi maana jo us sar Kate haivan se bach nikalne mein kamyab ho Gaye they warna aajtak uske haatho se koi insan bacha nahi tha, doctor ke jaate hi tab dinkar fhat pada wo gambhir tha

"Kal aapne aur aapke dost ne gazab ka kaam kiya upar se mukhya ki beti akeli raat gaye sadak par apne marhum mangetar se lad jhagadkar bahar nikal gayi jabki wo to town ki hai aur oose pata hai ki andhera hote hi wo haivaan ghumne lagta hai kasbe mein, mukhya sahab bahut naraz hai aap dono ki harqate unhone to kya saare kasbe walo ne gaur kar li hai, ulte mujhse jirah karne lage ki aap dono aakhir hai kaun? Fhir aakhir mein thak haarkar mujhe unke aur baki sarpancho ke saamne aap dono ke baarein mein batana pada"

"Marla kahan hai?"

"Bahut naraz they mukhya ji oosi waqt unhone beti ko apni kothi mein band kar diya, na hi sirf wo jaan se hath dho baithti balki aap dono bhi aur baaki kasbe waale bhi jo bhi madad ke liye bahar nikle they, lekin sabse badi tragedy to ye ghati ki unka hone wala damad Harry d Souza uska haivan ne qatal kar daala laash ka sar kahi gaz dur humhe mila, aur ye sabkuch marla ke chalte huya, par mukhya ji ke wajah se abtak humne uske khilaf koi strict action nahi li"

"Main manta hu ki uski laparwahi ke wajah se itna kuch ghata lekin ye baat jaan gaya hoo ki mere paak hathyar aur dua ka us haivan par asar hua"

"Kal raat aap teeno astabal mein chupe aur Bach kaise gaye? Jabki aapka kehna tha ki wo sar kata dakhil hokar aap logo ko har taraf talash kar raha tha aap unhe dikhe nahi"

Arifin oose kaise yakeen dilata ki khuda ke rehem se wo unki dua padhkar us shaitan ko chakma dene mein kamyab ho gaya tha agar wo andha na ho jata toh shayad Harry ke sath kal raat teen laash aur town waalo ko milti, inspector dinkar ne bataya ki aaj kasbe ke chaupal par panchayat baithi hai jo kal ke ghatna ke wajah se baithak ki gayi hai, aur usme divesh aur uska sarpancho ke rubaru hona zaruri tha, haalaki divesh abhi theek nahi hua tha aur behosh tha isliye guesthouse ke naukar aur hawaldar ke dekh rekh mein oose chodh wo dinkar ke sath panchayat baithak mein pahucha

Kal raat ki tarah Joseph Fernandes usse narmi ya dostana taur se na mila, balki aise pesh aaya jaise wo muzrim ho aur wo khud faisla sunane wala adalat ka judge, waha khusar phusar toh behas chal rahi thi, har koi sar Kate haivan ko lekar hi charcha kar raha tha kisi ka kehna tha ki Harry ki maut marla ke chalte huyi toh koi un do sheheri ajnabiyo ko zimmedar tehra raha tha,

Arifin ke waha aate hi wo log sannate mein aa gaye aur oose ghurrne lage, arifin Joseph aur baki sarpancho ke saamne khada hua, "tumhara dost divesh kahan hai?"

"Wo aaram kar raha hai kal raat wo kafi zakhmi hua tha, aap logo ko jo bhi puchna hai ya kehna hai mujhe kahiye"

"Dekho tum dono ka malumat humhe lag chuka hai,divesh police officer hai ye hum Jaan chuke par tum yaha kis wajah se uske sath aaye ho? Aur aisi kaun si ilm ya upari taqat rakhte ho ki tumne us shaitan se na hi sirf khud ko bachaya balki meri beti aur apne dost ko bhi aur oosi ki firaaq mein tum yaha chanbin karne aaye ho aakhir kaun ho tum?"

"Na main ojha hoo aur na main tantrik main jo kuch bhi hoo aapke saamne hoo sheher ka police mehekma aise kisi shaitani haivan ki wajud par yakeen nahi karta lekin kuch mehekme ke log aise hai jo dinkar sahab ki tarah mante hai ki wo aam qatil nahi waqayi koi azgaib cheez hai mera pesha aise hi ziddi roohon aur shaitani taqato se insan ki hifazat karna hai unpar qabu pana hai aur main koi dhongi nahi na andhwishwas ko badhawa deta hu, mujhe afsos hai ki aapke hone wale damad ka kal us haivan ne berehmi se qatal kar diya agar mere bas mein hota to main har mumkin oose bhi bachane ki koshish karta "

"Dekho humhe kisi bhi kisam ki sheehri madad ya kisi aamil ka sahara nahi chahiye tum jante ho yaha barso se us haivan ka aatank raha hai koi oose rok nahi paaya kitne bade bade pahuche huye log aaye par oose thaam na sake"

"Main aapki baat Manta hu par main auro jaisa nahi balki maine oose tadapte dekha hai aur maana hai ki main uspar waqayi kaabu pa sakta hu"

Logo mein khusar pusar badh gayi, sarpancho ne sabko shaant rehne ka hukam diya, fhir unme mein se ek ne kaha "humne tumhe marla ke sath town se bahar dekha tha, aur hum yahi maante hai ki Harry ki maut marla ki wajah se huyi"

Joseph jaise muzrim nazaro se sar jhukaye khada tha, aisa lagta tha jaise wo apni beti ko kasurwar mana tha, "aisa nahi hai marla ne jo kuch bhi kiya waqti junoon mein kiya, kyunki wo apne walid se bahar jana nahi chahti thi, ye maamla kisi ki zyadati zindagi se taluq rakhta hai isliye main ispar kuch kehna nahi chahunga"

Is baar Joseph ne buland awaz mein kaha "Harry aur marla ke beech ka maamla hum pehle hi Jaan chuke hai isliye us baat par ab behas nahi honi chahiye, jo kuch bhi hua uska asal zimmedar wo haivan hai aur main ye bhi Manta hu ki agar ye do sheheri ladke us waqt meri beti ke sath mauzud nahi hote to shayad aaj wo bhi zinda nahi hoti"

Kuch log sehmati mein sar upar niche karne lage toh kuch log bechaini se pehlu badalne Lage kyunki wo chahte they ki marla ko zimmedar teheraya jaaye baat fhir kisi ne nahi uthaayi toh Joseph ne khud hi kaha..."mujhe apne dost se hamdardi hai jisne apne bete ko khoya lekin ye baithak is mudde ke liye rakhki gayi hai ki aage kya kiya jaaye?, Wo shaitani haivaan khamosh nahi baithega inhone oose maat di hai, aur ab wo aur bhi hum sabka khoon ka pyasa ban jayega"

"Agar gustakhi maanf ho toh main aapki baat beech mein rok raha hu aap sabse main madad chahta hu"

"Madad kaisi madad?".....sarpanch mein baithe molvi ne arifin se sawal kiya

"Agar hum sab milkar us haivan ko zanjeero mein jakad le aur Fajr ke pau fhatte hi Suraj ki roshni mein uska shapit murda jism jalne lage toh yahi us haivan se nijaat paane ki iklauta zariya hai"

"Hargiz nahi hum pehle hi apne apno ko kho chuke, aur aisi koi bhi bewakufi pure town ko kabrustan mein tabdil kar degi".....Joseph ne kodhe ki phatkar bhari awaz mein arifin se kaha

Har koi Darra sihma sochne laga, arifin chupchap ho gaya, "dekho sheher ke logo ne yaha aakar pehle bhi bahut mushkile hamare liye khadi ki hai, humhe pehle apni aur apno ki jaan ki salamati ki fikar hai hum insan hokar us haivan ka muqabla nahi kar sakte, behtar yahi hai ki tum aur tumhara dost wapis chale jao yahi hamara faisla hai"

"Us haivan ko bina roke main apna kaam adhura chodhkar wapis sheher nahi ja sakta aur humhe ijajat pehle hi mil chuki hai agar aap log hamari madad nahi karna chahte na sahi lekin main us haivaan ko zarur rokunga"

Joseph Fernandes ke faisle ke koi khilaf Jaye ye oose namanzur tha usne gusse se inspector dinkar jo bagal mein khada tha oose hidayat dete huye kaha "is town ke faisle ke khilaf aajtak kisi ke jaane ki majaal nahi huyi, daroga Babu behtar yahi hai ki aap apne sheheri dosto ko samjha de ki wo kal savera hote hi pehli gaadi thamkar wapis sheher laut jaaye hamare yaha khaskar bahariyo ki dakhal andazi hum bardasht nahi kar sakte"

Maulana sarpanch haalaki mukhya Joseph ke is faisle ke sehmati mein na uthe, lekin unhe samjha pana aasan nahi tha wo pehle hi apni beti ke maamle ko leke ukhda hua tha, inspector dinkar ka waha bas na chala samjhana toh dur oose ek bhi lavz kehne se waha inkar kar diya gaya, mukhya se bahar jaane ki jaise uski majal na huyi usne arifin ko thaame waha se samjha bujhakar le jaane laga, arifin janta tha ki wo log uska sath nahi Dene Wale they, arifin ke chale jaane ke baad mukhya sabse mukhatib hua har koi usse yahi sawal kar raha tha ki ab aage kya kiya jaaye?

"Mujhe kuch waqt chahiye main aur baaki sarpanch hum sab milkar Aaj shaam se pehle dopaharbaad faisla karenge ki ab humhe aage kya karna chahiye, aap sab aaj church hall mein haaziri de aur ye faisla behad zaruri hai, meri saqt hidayat hai ki koi bhi ab shaam ke baad aur town ke bahar bhi  na jaaye"

Apne kamre mein bechaini se chehel kadmi karta arifin bistar par aakar baitha, bistar ke dusre pehlu par divesh ab bhi aankhe munde pada tha, halaki pehle se uski halat mein sudhar aa gaya tha, inspector dinkar ne oose yahi raay di thi ki taftish ko yahi adhura chodh woh kisi bhi tarah divesh ko leke wapis sheher chala jaye, kyunki agar town waale ukhadh gaye toh maamla bigad sakta tha, isliye divesh ke haalat mein sudhar aate hi wo oose lekar jitna jaldi ho sake waha se rawana ho jaaye, "ab mujhe apne kaam ko jaldi anjaam dena hoga mujhe jungle ka daura karna hoga us qabr ko dhundhna hai jitne jaldi ho sake"

Usne divesh ki taraf ek baar dekha fhir mej ke samne kursi kheechi fhir baithte huye ek kaagaz par kuch likha, wo khat usne divesh ke liye chodha tha fhir wo tayyar hua tamam intejamat ke sath wo chori chupe guesthouse se bahar nikla, usne astabal se ek ghoda liya aur fhir uspar sawar hota town se bahar nikal gaya, kisi ne na oose roka na uska picha kiya, kabrustan paar kar wo jungle ke oosi raste pahucha fhir usne ghode ko aage kachche sadak par dauda diya, jaise jaise wo andar daakhil hua oose jungle ghana aur mahoul veeran lagne laga, kuch der chalne ke baad usne paaya jungle bahut ghana tha uche uche paid they lekin ujaad sard kohra tha charo taraf, aur hawaye tej chal rahi thi, usne raste ka jayeza lete huye abhi kuch kadam badhaya hi tha ki oose apne piche kisi aur ghode ke kadamo ki awaz sunai di, usne mudkar apne piche dekha kohre mein ek Saaya oose apne kareeb aate dikha, wo chauknna hua tabhi ek safed ghode par sawar shawl lapaite chehre ko chupaaye marla ko dekh arifin ko saqt hairani huyi,

Wo apne ghode se utara aur marla bhi usne shawl apne upar se kheechkar utaar diya aur sidha arifin ke gale lag gayi, arifin ne jhijhakte huye oose apne se alag kiya

"Marla tum yaha par? Tumhe mere piche yaha nahi aana chahiye tha tum to kothi mein band thi yaha kaise pahuchi? Tumhe malum nahi tumhare walid ne kya hukam sunaya hai?"

"Main sab janti hoo arifin mujhe maaf kar do ki jo kuch hua meri wajah se hua meri wajah se Harry ki jaan chali gayi, tum nahi jante mere father mere kitne khilaf hai, khair main toh tumse milane chali aa rahi thi par tumhe town se bahar jaate dekh maine gupchup tumhara picha kiya, tum jaa kahan rahe ho? Yaha to bahut khatra hai"

"Tum wapis laut jao mere paas waqt Kam hai main kisi bhi tarah us haivan ke qabr ko dhundhna chahta hu"

"Theek hai main bhi sath chalungi dekho meri baat ko samjho mujhe kehne do main is jungle ke baare mein bahut kuch janti hoo, tumhe na hi sirf uska qabr balki main tumhe us haivan Raja ka mahal bhi dikha sakti hoo jo isi jungle mein hai jaha kisi ko jaane ki izazat nahi"

Arifin hairat se oose dekh raha tha wo itna kuch kaise janti thi? Jispar usne waise hi muskurahat di jaise arifin ne pichli raat uski aur divesh ki jaan bachakar di thi,

Wo dono apne ghode pe sawar jungle ke aage badhe, kuch aadha ghanta chalne ke baad ghoda maare khauff se hinhinaane laga wo aage badh nahi Raha tha, badi badi nazro se saamne ghurr raha tha, arifin oosse utarte huye oose shaant karne laga, fhir usne thode duri par oose baandh diya, marla ke bhi ghode ka kuch wohi haal tha usne apne ghode ko bhi thodi dur baandh diya,

"In ghodo ko kya hua? Aisa lagta hai jaise yaha kuch toh azib hai"

"Haan arifin kyunki jo tum talash rahe they woh theek tumhare saamne hai wo dekho wo rahi wo manhus qabr Raja ikhlas gazi ki"

Usne saamne ki taraf dekha aasman kohre se dhaka tha waha ka mahoul manhusiyat mein duba tha, saamne ujaad paido ke beecho beech ek ghana purana paid tha jispar ek bhi patta nahi tha jiski daale saanp jaisi latki huyi thi, aur jiski jade kaali aur azib si bhayanak dikh rahi thi, uske theek saamne zameen ki mitti ucchi thi aur uspar Muth tak koi cheez bahar nikli huyi dikh rahi thi,

"Ye nishani Raja ikhlas gazi ki wohi talwar ki muth hai baaki talwar andar qabr tak fasi hai, wo haivaan yahi se jagta hai yahi se uthta hai"

Arifin aage badha uska dil dhak dhak kar raha tha, aisa lagta tha jaise wo abhi qabr se uth khada hoga aur apni talwar se uska sar kaant dega, marla khamoshi se arifin ko ghurr rahi thi, arifin ghode ke paas gaya aur usne piche baste se latke do phawde utha laaye, "tum agar meri madad karna chahti ho to ya kahin khadi ho jao ya fhir mera saath do aur is qabar ko khodne mein meri madad karo"

"Ye tum kya karne ja rahe ho? Tum oose gussa dila doge"

"Yahi sahi mauka hai main koshish karunga ki uske is qabar mein uski bachi kuchi laash ke hisso par pavitra paani ya koi amal se oose zinda hone se pehle jala du to shayad kaam ban jaaye par tumhe is qabr ka malumat kaise?!"

"Abhi kuch mat pucho jo karna chahte ho jaldi karo kyunki hamare paas waqt nahi hai agar tufan aaya toh andhera cha jayega"

Arifin bhi maare hadbadahat ke phawda liye qabar khodne laga, marla bhi uska sath dene lagi dono hi qabar khodne lage bahut dair khodne aur mitti bahar faikne ke baad achanak dono ka pair dhasa aur kuch 2 gaz niche wo dono baal baal girte bache, zameen dhasna dene lagi thi Marla ka hath pakde dono bahar nikle, marla ne arifin ko bheetar ek taraf ishara kiya,"wo dekho khopdi arifin kamaal hai 400 saal ke bawjud uski haddiya abhi bhi nhi gali"

"Waqayi marla ye alokik ghatna hai wo ek shapit murda hai jiski rooh is duniya mein kaid hai tum ek kaam karo mere baste mein pavitra Pani aur tel hai wo dono mere paas ahh!"

"tum theek ho arifin?".....Maulana saheb ne apne aadmiyo ke sath arifin ke paas aakar pucha

"Meri parwah mat kijiye bas jald se jald us qabr mein padi Raja ikhlas gazi ki sar Kati laash aur uski khopdi jala dijiye hamare paas waqt Kam hai"

"Haan arifin sahi keh raha hai isne mujhe bataya hai ki marla ne church hall ki tabeez utaar di hai waha logo ka dopaharbad jamghat hoga aur mukhya ji bhi wohi hai tamam begunaah maare jayenge isse pehle ye haivaan zinda ho humne iski laash ko fauran jala dena chahiye"

Bina dair kiye wo sab qabr ke paas laute, tamam log sihme huye they aur piche dur us uche tuti ujaad khandar ko bhi dekh rahe they jo kabhi zindagi mein Raja ikhlas gazi ki milkiyat thi, wo wohi qabr tha jaha unke dushman senapti Akram pasha ne zareena aur baaki dhokhebaz unke sipahiyo ke sath milkar unhe qatl kar dafna diya tha,

"Ya allah reham".....unki nazar pehle us paid aur uske theek niche kayi gaz khudi qabr ki laash par huyi jiski sirf bachi kuche Avsesh hi dikh rahe they

Unke sath aaye kasbe ke log bhi jhaak jhaak kar khauff se us murde ki laash ke haddiyo ko dekh rahe they, tabhi dur marla ghurrane lagi uske haath pao baandh diye gaye they aur tab bhi kuch logo ne oose buri tarah se hath pao se jakda hua tha, arifin ki nazar uske kadamo ke kuch dur padi us haivan ki kati khopdi par gayi, usne pas jakar us kankal ki khopdi uthaayi aur us qabar dobara mein faik di, har koi saqte mein aa gaya

"Kasbe waalo ye aurat daayan hai ye mujhe maarkar is murde ki khopdi se Jadu tona karke ise qabu mein karna chahti thi, taaki ye sar kata haivaan iska gulam ban jaaye aur fhir ye apne aur napak mansubo ko anjam de sake par ye shaitan ki pairokar ye nahi janti ki ek shaitan dusre shaitan ka kabhi saath nahi deta"

"Astagfirullah tauba lahul wila kuwad"....Maulana ne ghinna bhari nazaro se marla ke taraf dekhkar divesh ki baat sunkar usse yu nazare fhair liye jaise wo koi napak janwar ho

"Humhe yakeen nahi hota ki Raja ikhlas ka mahal aur uski qabr ke baare mein mukhya ki beti aur uski maa itna kuch janti thi hamare apne hi beech shaitan prastish log rehte they main toh kehta hu is laash ke sath is daayan ko bhi jala diya jaaye".....ek buzurgwar ne kaha

"Haan ye sahi keh rahe hai"......fhir kayi log chillane lage

Maulana ne sabko shaant kiya, unhone kaha ki pehle is haivan ka khatma karna zyada zaruri hai, itne mein marla pagalo ki tarah hassne lagi sab uski taraf dekhne lage, wo hath pao se jakdi tahaka lagaye kehne lagi "tum sab iski baat mein aakar marroge wo amar hai wo marr kar zinda ho chuka oose ab kya maut doge?"

"Waqt zaaya mat kijiye".....arifin ne uski baat ansuna karte huye chillaya, marla qeher bhari nigaho se oose aise dekhne lagi jaise kachcha chaba jayegi

Arifin ne dua padhna shuru kiya, divesh aur baaki sab qabar ke kareeb khade oose dekh rahe they, kuch logo ne arifin ke kehne par uspar pavitra Pani jaise chidhka zameen jaise khadhakne lagi, mano jaise us mitti par tezab daal diya ho, achanak hawaye tej chalne lagi, arifin ne bina dair kiye kade duaon ko padhna shuru kiya aur fhir uspar mitti tel daalne laga usne divesh ki taraf haath badhaya, ek ne mashaal jalakar uske haath mein di, jise divesh ne aage arifin ke hath mein diya,

Usne mashaal jaise qabar mein faikhi, aasman kaale badalo se ghirrne laga, arifin teji se dua padhta raha bijliya kadakne lagi, log buri tarah bhauklane lage, aandhi tej ho gayi aisi tej dhool bhari hawa chali jisne sabki aankho ko band karne par mazbur kar diya, koi kuch samajh nahi paa raha tha,

Achanak mashal ki lagi aag abhi qabr mein aag pakadti ki tabhi musladhar baarish hone lagi, saari aag aafrupi dhang se apne aap bujhne lagi, khandar ke paas bijli ek paid par giri jo jalte huye kuch logo ke upar girne ki kagaar par huyi wo log raste se bhaag ek or hatkar khade ho gaye, har kisi ke dil mein dehshat ghar karne laga, kisi ne chillaya "yaha se bhaag jaane mein bhalaai hai"........"ye haivaan jaag raha hai"

"Haan arifin humhe yaha se fauran nikalna hoga abhi isi waqt"...divesh ne arifin ka dhyan todte huye kaha

Itne mein sab tufan mein bhauklaaye apne apne ghodo aur baggiyo par sawar hokar waha se bhaagne lage, divesh ne paaya ki qabr ki mitti apne aap upar uthne lagi thi, ye manzar dekh arifin ne oose chillakar ghode pe sawar hone kaha, usne fauran paas bandhe marla ke ghode pe sawar hote huye ghode ko baaki bhaagti baggiyo ke piche dauda diya, arifin marla ke kareeb jaise hi aana chahta tha oose qabar se ek haath zinda nikalta dikha talwar ki muth kaanp rahi thi, "arifin zyada waqt mat gawao andhera hone wala hai wo haivaan jaag chuka hai waha aur mat tehro fauran bhaag niklo wo haivaan jaag raha hai arifin"

Piche se Maulana ne chillate huye baggi se bahar nikalkar oose bhaagne kaha, divesh bhi ghoda thaamkar arifin par chillaye ja raha tha, hadbadata arifin marla ki parwah kiye bina apne ghode pe sawar hokar teji se divesh ke sath ghoda daudaate huye waha se nikal gaya, tabhi qabar mein ek bhayanak vispot hua aur tamam mitti apne aap qabr se upar uth gayi, dheere dheere bahar garazta dahadhta wo haivaan aa nikla,

Usne paaya ki tamam kafila kasbe walo ka dur Jaa chuka tha, usne ek baar palatkar piche dekha toh oose marla dikhi, jo darr aur dehshat se kaanp rahi thi,

"Maine tumhe jagaya hai maine tumhari hifazat ki hai maar do un sabko maar do".....wo pagalo ki tarah chillayi, lekin tabhi oose ahesas hua ki us sar Kate haivaan ke daaye haath mein talwar apne aap qabr se aa chuki thi, wo uske kareeb badha, kasbe walo ne marla ko bandhe, maare khauff se wohi chodh diya tha, sar kata haivaan uske paas aakar khada hua, aisa laga jaise wo uski nazaro ko ghurr raha tha jisme oose apni dhokebaz biwi Rani zareena dikh rahi thi, marla samajh chuki thi ki aage wo kya karne wala tha? aur theek tabhi usne apni talwar uske gardan gale ke aar paar kar di, marla ki haulnaak cheekh pure jungle mein gunz uthi, uske baad haivaan ne oosi talwar ko bedardi se ek baar mein aisa kheecha ki talwar ke sath uska sar Jism se ukaadh faika, marla ki gardan se khoon fawaare ki tarah nikla aur uske baad uski laash kaanpti fhir bejaan hoti waise hi bandhi reh gayi, haivaan piche palta aur teji se daudta hua daayi taraf se apne hinhinaate ghode ke upar sawar hua jo aafrupi roop se kaala dhua se tabdil hota uske samne aa khada hua,

Udhar church hall mein town ke log sarpancho ke sath waha mauzud they, Joseph Fernandes tamam waqye se bekhabar, apni kursi se utha aur logo ko samjhane laga

"Maulana sahab hamare beech abhi mauzud nahi hai lekin koi baat nahi faisla tamam sarpancho ke raay mein aur aapki aur is town ki bhalaai ke madde nazar maine ye faisla kiya hai ki hum dheere dheere karke ye town kuch hi dino mein khaali kar denge"

Logo mein hairat aur ghabrahat shuru ho gayi, mukhya Joseph ne unhe hath dikhakar apni baat mukammal kehne ki darkhawast ki, "dekhiye itna bada faisla humhe Lena to nahi chahiye tha lekin jis tarah se us haivaan ki aafat badhti ja rahi hai hamara yaha ab aur din rehna mehfuz nahi, sheheri logo ke chanbin ke chalte wo haivaan aape se bahar hokar humpar apna qeher utaarega, apni jaan aur apno ki salamati ke liye hum jald se jald yaha se chale jayenge kisi aur gaon mein ya koi chote sheher mein taaki yaha ki manhusiyat yahi reh jaye aur hamare sath na aa sake"

Tabhi kisi ne darwaja badhbadhaya, church hall ka kivaad khola gaya, kuch aadmi bhauklaaye ghabraye bechain chillate huye sabko agaah karne lage, "sarpanch ji gazab ho gaya achanak tufaan ne aasman ko bilkul andhera kar diya hai aur khabar mili hai ki wo haivaan jaag utha hai aur sidha kasbe ki taraf aa raha hai apni jaan bachao sab bhaago"

Fernandes ko kuch samajne aur kehne ka  mauka milta ki tabhi waha log ghabraye afra tafri mein bhaag khade hone lage, "koi kahi na jaaye meri baat suniye hum yaha mehfuz hai bahar tabeez bandhi hai wo haivaan yaha nahi aa sakta"

Lekin mukhya ki baat par kisi ne gaur nahi kiya aakhir thak haarkar wo bhi hadbadaye baaki sarpancho ki taraf dekhne laga,

                      -------------

Wo haivaan us kafile ke kareeb picha karta apne ghode pe piche aa chuka tha, divesh aur arifin oose bhauklaaye piche palatkar dekhne lage, usne paas aate hi talwar sidha piche bhaag rahe ek ghodh sawar par maari, uski cheekh sun baaki log piche dekhne lage, wo aur kareeb tha tamam logo ke ghode khauff se beqabu hone lage, Maulana sahab ki baggi Baal Baal paid se takrati bachi, haivaan ne paas aate huye ek ek ek kar kafile ke logo ka kaam tamam karna shuru kar diya, har vaar par ek cheekh gunzti aur laash ghode ya baggi par se niche gir jati, divesh aur arifin ne ghode ko aur tej kiya, lekin piche Maulana sahab aur kuch logo ki baggi us sar Kate haivan ke kareeb thi, wo apne ghode par se chalang lagakar us baggi ke upar chadh jata hai jismein Maulana sarpanch they,

Divesh ne fauran gereban se banduk nikaali aur firing ki, sar Kate haivaan ko koi faraq nahi pada usne apne ghode ko aur kareeb le jane ki koshish ki par haivaan uspar talwar ka hamla karne laga, mazburan divesh ko baggi se ghoda dur karna pada, arifin baggi ke daaye taraf pahucha, wo pure intejamat ke sath aaya tha, usne ek talwar divesh ki taraf faikhi jise usne thaam liya, arifin ne apni talwar sambhaali fhir wohi darts nikaale usne kuch dua padhte huye ghode par baithe baithe hi haivan ko koi harqat karne se pehle hi us par nishana saadha piche gardan aur peeth par lagte hi haivan kaanp utha lekin aisa laga jaise wo is baar sambhal chuka tha usne kati gardan se arifin ki taraf palatkar dekha, divesh ne fauran kareeb jakar talwar ka ek hamla uske taang par kiya wo baggi ki chatt par gir pada arifin apne ghode par khade hone ki koshish karne laga, ghode aur baggi ki raftar tej thi, abhi divesh dusra hamla karta ki haivan ne uske upar talwar ka tej hamla kiya, divesh agar jhukta nahi toh shayad talwar uske kandhe ko cheer deta, arifin ne ek sheeshi nikaali aur usmein bhare tel ko uske upar faika, wo haivan ke jism pe aag jaisi lagi, haivan baggi se gir pada aur zameen par girte hi usne divesh ke ghode ke piche chal rahe baggi ko thaam liya, wo zameen par ghasitta hua uthne ki koshish karne laga, tabhi arifin ne oose ghode ke pao se kuchalna chaha lekin tabhi usne arifin ke ghode ke pao par talwar maari,

Ghoda fauran hinhinaate huye aaundhe munh girne se pehle arifin ko uchaal faika arifin ne sidha oosi baggi par chalang laga di jiske sirhe ko haivan thame tha, wo Baal Baal niche chalti tej baggi se girta bacha, divesh chillaya, arifin ne talwar sidha niche ghasitaate huye baggi ka sirha thaame haivaan par de hamla kiya peeth se talwar aar paar ho gayi par haivan ne pakad na chodhi,

Arifin ne ek aur vaar karna chaha toh haivaan ne uski nangi talwar hath mein thaam li, hairat thi ki us haath se khoon ka ek qatra na baha, arifin apni talwar ko chudhane laga, par uski pakad mazbut thi, tabhi wo furati se uthte huye baggi ke upar chadh aaya, arifin ne uske pait aur kate gardan par hath pao chalaye, lekin uspar choto ka koi asar na hua, usne arifin ki talwar kheechkar uske hatho se faikh di, wo kad kathi se kafi uncha aur lamba tha aur jism patthar ki tarah saqt, usne arifin ke gardan ko hatho se jakad liya aur uske munh par ghutne ka vaar karke oose baggi se niche faika, par arifin ghode ke chalak ke upar aa gira, chalak maare khauff se beech raaste mein kud gaya, ghoda ab beqabu tha haivan uske kareeb aane laga uske hath mein dobara uski talwar hawa mein udte aa pahuchi, usne arifin ke seene pe jaise hi talwar ka nishana lagaya arifin dusri taraf ho gaya talwar ghode aur baggi ko baandhti ek kadi se ja takrai, arifin ne fauran laat uske dhadh par maari haivan piche girta bacha, usne talwar dobara uthayi aur is baar arifin ke bazu par chalai, arifin dum saade usse dur hone laga, uske baazu se khoon aane laga isse pehle wo dusra vaar karta divesh ne talwar lekar apne ghode ko baggi ke kareeb laa khada kiya, aur apni talwar uske peeth pe de ghusai usne palatkar divesh ki taraf dekha aur jaise uski talwar apni peeth se nikaali tabhi arifin ne ghode aur baggi ko jodne wali us purje ko khol daala, baggi piche reh gayi aur arifin ghode ki peeth par ja sambhala, tuti baggi sidha ulat gayi aur iske sath haivan bhi dhalan se niche ja gira utna waqt kafi tha divesh aur arifin ko sambhalne mein aur usse dur ho jaane mein, divesh apne ghode pe sawar, sambhalte baggi ke ghode par arifin ke kareeb aaya usne haath dekar arifin ko sam apne ghode pe bithaya, kafila town mein dakhil ho raha tha itne mein piche oosi haivan ke ghode ki hinhinahat sun divesh aur arifin palte, 

Haivan unke aur kafile ke piche teji se aa raha tha, divesh ne ghoda aur tej daudaya, us haivan ko dekh town mein logo mein bhag dadh mach gayi, uske saamne jo bhi aaya haivan ne oose kaant dala, kafile walo ne apni baggi aur divesh ne apna ghoda kasbe ke andar dakhil kar diya toh kotwal ke log piche aate ghode aur uspar sawar us haivan par goli ki bauchar karne lage, haivan sambhala aur usne apne talwar se unpar hamla kiya do hawaldar mauke pe hi apni jaan gawah baithe, inspector dinkar ek taraf bhaaga oose apne Jaan ki khairiyat thi, sar kata haivan unke taraf pahuch Raha tha tabhi arifin ne zameen par kuch dum kiye kil (nails) faikh diye, ghoda jaise hi uspar chadha wo dahadhta hua chillane laga aur haivan sidha zameen pe aa gira, divesh ruka nahi usne ghode ko aur teji se uski nazaro se dur karte huye bhagata raha, kuch galiyare ko paar kar wo dono ghode se utarkar ek makaan mein ja dakhil huye jinke parivar ne unhe ander aane se aitraz na kiya, arifin ne paya ki us ghar ke diwar par tabiz bandhi thi,

Tabhi oose church hall yaad aya "divesh humhe church hall mein pahuchna hoga ab wo haivan waha zarur pahuchega"

                           ---------

Bahar tej aandhi aur andhera cha chuka tha, kayi log haivan ke khauff se apne makaano mein bhaag kar chupe ja rahe they, zameeno par laashe thi, kasbe mein afra tafri machi huyi thi, kuch hi waqt mein Sadako par sannata pasar gaya siwaay aandhi aur tej hawao ke shor ko chodh, haivaan gusse mein tilmilata hua jab divesh aur arifin tak pahuch na paya to ab church hall ki taraf wo badhne laga, "sab yaha mehfuz hai koi na darre kisi ne zarur afwa failayi hai ki tabeez nakli hai"....Joseph ne kivaad dobara lagwa diya tha aur church hall mein tehre logo se uchi awaz mein kehne laga

"Kisi ne afwa nahi failai balki tumhari khud ki  aulwad ne tumhari aur baake town walo ki maut ka saaman kara hai, tumhari beti us haivan ki tarah shaitan ban chuki thi aur yahi sach hai town walo"

Ye baat sunte hi Maulana aur baki kafile ke logo se jo waha waqt rehte pahuch chuke they, Fernandes ka chehra safed pad gaya, oose yakeen nahi hua abhi wo kuch samajh paata ki niche logo mein afra tafri mach gayi sabka dhyan niche hua, kivaad tode wo haivan waqayi andar dakhil ho chuka tha, mukhya Fernandes ka kaleja munh ko aane laga, waha dakhil hote hi sar kata haivan fhir qatleaam machane laga, kisi jaan bachate bhaagte aadmi ki gardan ko usne apne hatho ki pahuch mein aate hi tod di, to kisi ko talwar se do tukda kar diya, maut ka aisa haulnak manzar dekh log khidkiya tode aur baaki darwajo se bhaagne lage, kuch log upar sailab ki tarah pahuche lage, sarpanch bhaari bheedh mein dhakka mukki khaate zameen pe gir pade tabhi unke upar wo haivan aa khada hua usne talwar se fauran do sarpanch ke sar ko kalam kar diya, unke kate sar ko dekh mukhya maarein dehshat se niche utarne ka zariya dhundhne laga,

Divesh aur arifin barish mein bheegte church hall pahuche, logo ki afra tafri aur laashe dekh wo dono siham uthe aur fauran andar ja dakhil huye, wo dono sidiyo se upar pahuche ki itne mein unhe lasho ke upar se fhandte huye log apni taraf aate dikhe, unmein rasta banate wo haivan ki taraf pahuche, mayor Fernandes waha akela zinda bacha tha, wo patte ki tarah kaanp raha tha piche sheesha tha bahar ki bijli kadak rahi thi, major Fernandes oose Jesus ka vaasta dene laga, wo haivan ek ek kadam unke aage badhta gaya Fernandes ne oose cross dikhaya toh jaise wo thamak kar khada ho gaya, Fernandes ki umeed jaagne lagi, wo khauff khaata us sar Kate haivan se abhi dur hota ki tabhi daaye haath ki uski talwar ka hamla sidha oose apni gardan pe hota mehsus hua, uski dardnaak cheekh pure hall mein gunz uthi aur uska kata sar upari maale se sidiyo par ludakta niche jaa gira,

Divesh aur arifin waise hi tehre reh gaye, bijli kadki aur uski chamak mein unhe haivan apni or palatte huye aata dikhai Diya, wo dono ulte raste bhaage, is baar haivan unke piche teji se chala aa raha tha, niche bhaagte huye arifin ka pao fisla aur wo sidiyo se girta hua niche aa gaya, divesh oose daudte huye uthaaye apne sath liye bhaaga achanak haivan unke saamne aa khada hua, wo dono church ke bheetar ki taraf bhaage haivan jaise hi unke kareeb aaya st.mary aur Jesus christ ki zakhmi murti dekhkar jaise wo wohi teher gaya, divesh aur arifin ne paya ki uske jism se dhua uthne laga tha, wo apne hatho aur jism ko jaise gaur kar raha tha, wo wapis hone laga, tabtalak divesh aur arifin bagal ki khidki tode bahar faand kar nikle, barish tham chuki thi unhone paas mein rakhki Jeep se do tel ke cane bahar nikaale aur uske dhakkan kholte huye bahar nikalte haivaan par de udhela, divesh uspar tel daalte huye raste par bhi tel daale ja raha tha, haivan unki taraf apni talwar liye badhne laga dono ne khaali cane faikhe aur ekdusre ki taraf dekha, arifin divesh ko liye daayi or bhaaga, wo haivaan unki taraf dauda jaise jaise wo bhaagte huye aa raha tha tel zameen ko geela karti apna nishan chodh raha tha, tabhi dono andar dakhil huye aur piche ke raste se bahar ki taraf nikal aate huye shutter giraane lage, divesh ne fauran baayi jeb se lighter nikaali aur sidha uski taraf andar faikha, aag bhadak uthi aur uska murda jism aag ke hawale ho gaya, dono bhaagte huye godown ke saamne pahuche jaha se wo dakhil huye they wo haivan jaise hi aag ki lapato mein dobara wapsi bahar aaya, toh geeli tel se huyi Sadako par aag apne aap lagne lagi wo dono sirho se aag ke lapaite mein aa gaya,

Divesh jeep par sawar hua aur aur usne jeep ko teji se mor kaantte huye sidha us sar Kate haivan par puri teji se #kchadha diya, arifin chillaya tabtalak dhamake hone se pehle divesh jeep se kud chuka tha, aag ki lapato mein jeep aate hi dhamake se ud gayi, jeep ke parkhache ud gaye, kayi ft lamba shola utha aur fhir sab dhua mein tabdil ho gaya, arifin aur divesh dur khade hokar us nazare ko dekhne lage, achanak arifin ki nazare teher gayi, wo haivan aag ki lapato se aise nikal aa raha tha jaise oose kuch hua hi na ho, uske badan pe lagi aag apne aap gayab hone lagi, wo shayad divesh aur arifin ki or dekh raha tha,

"Ye humhe chodhega nahi aaj"

"Bhaag chalo yaha se"

Itna kehte huye dono waha se bhaage, aur ek Khali makaan mein dakhil huye unhone darwaja lagaya aur tamam khidki baaki bahar ke rasto ko band kar diya arifin ne jeb se ek tabeez nikaalkar oose diwaar par laga di, wo dua padhne laga jabki divesh ne dekha ki ghode pe sawar wo haivaan unke makaan ke aage aa khada hua usne darwaje ko todne ki koshish ki par bijli ke ek jhatke se wo piche hat gaya usne dobara koshish ki par wo nakam raha wo puri raat yuhin makaan ke bahar khada raha, aisa lagta tha jaise agar wo tabeez na hoti toh wo aaj un dono ko zinda chodhne wala nahi tha

Saari raat un dono ne bina soye saamne khade apni taraf ghurrte us sar Kate haivaan par Nazar rakhte huye guzari, jo besavri se un tak pahuch banane ki nakam koshishe kiye ja raha tha...

Arifin khud ko nakam mehsus kar raha tha...

Arifin ko apna wo amal yaad aaya jiske chalte usne apne ustad azaan se bagawat ki thi, usne wo amal dohrana shuru kiya, wo laite laite hi kaanpne laga,

tabhi uski aankhe jalne lagi aur usme Aseem taqat jaise uth aayi, arifin dahadte huye apne khoon behte baayi jism ko thaame paas padi talwar uthaaye uski taraf aaya, usne haivan ke wohi baazu ko puri taqat se kaant dala Jin hatho mein divesh ka gala thama hua tha, baazu katkar alag ho gaya, aur divesh sidha zameen pe gir pada, baazu dobara haivaan ke kate hisse par jaa dakhil hua, har koi maare dehshat se is manzar ko dekhne laga,

Arifin ne waqt gawaya nahi "dua padhe iske tamam jism par zanjeer jakde".....itna chillate huye kehkar usne wo talwar uske kamar ke aar paar kar di, tamam zanjeero ki wo dobara geraft mein aa gaya, har koi dua pade ja raha tha, tabhi arifin ne logo ke sath milkar uske jism mein dhase bhaale aur talwar ki taqat se aur jakde zanjeero se oose ek gaddhe mein ja giraya wo gaddha kaafi gehra khoda gaya tha kasbe ke beecho beech, ek ne piche jakar Tabut khol di, duayein log padhte rahe, aur oose zanjeer se jakde, hathyaro se uske jism ko paiwast kiye oose tabut mein gira diya gaya, fhir un bhale aur talwar ko uske jism se ek ek kar nikaal diya gaya, par wo jaise hi unpar haavi hone ko hota, dobara uske seene par baaki shareer ke hisso par hathyar dobara dakhil kar di jati, wo tadap raha tha puri taqat laga raha tha lekin charo taraf sirf duayon ki gunz thi, upar se sabne uske jism ke sath sath zanjeero se tabut ko lapait diya, arifin dua padhne laga, haivan garaz raha tha koi apni pakad dheeli nahi kar raha tha 70 log oose thaame huye they zanjeero se aur bhaale aur talwar ghusaaye uske jismo par,

Arifin ne uske seene par se apni talwar bahar kheech nikaali, aur dua padhne laga, achanak hawaye tej chalne lagi, divesh chot khaaye upar se jhankta gaddhe mein us haivan ko zanjeero mein jakade aur logo ke bhaalo aur talwar se uske jism ko paiwast huye dekh sakta tha, usne kalai ghadi par nazar ki subah 4 baj chuka tha, hawaye aur aandhi tej ho gayi, par arifin dua padhta raha, log aankho mein dhul jaane ke bawjud oose majlis mein buri tarah apne bhaalo aur talwar aur zanjeero se jakade huye they, tamam musalmano ki jamaat oose thaame ek taraf dua padhe jaa rahe they, arifin ne paaya ki dheere dheere taqreeban kai uche kad kathi ke safed libaso mein murdo ki tarah lipate log gaddhe mein aa khade huye they, wo kisi ko dikh nahi rahe they, usne ishara kiya to tamam log uspar se talwar aur bhaale nikaale upar chadhne lage lekin tabut aur usse lipati zanjeer unke haatho mein tab bhi thami huyi thi, arifin waha akela khada reh gaya divesh bhauklaaye oose bahar aane ke liye pukara tabhi Maulana saheb ne oose roka aur chup rehne ki hidayat Kari, divesh aankhe phaade arifin ko aankhe ulte waise hi zakhmi halat mein us haivan ke kareeb khada dekhne laga,

ek ek kar us gaddhe mein kayi jinnato ki jamaat ikkhatti ho gayi, haivaan unhe dekh sakta tha wo aur zyada fhukarne laga, log zanjeer thame gaddhe mein girte ghasitaate bache, wo jinnat arifin ke daaye baaye taraf se guzarte uske paas aaye unke chehre kaafi saqt aur bhayanak they, wo sab Arabi jaban bol rahe they,

Pura gaddha aitar ki mehek aur ghann ghann ke shor se gunzne laga aisa laga sabko ki arifin waha akele nahi khada tha, tabhi wo log kaan phadhte awaz mein chillaye aur unke aankho aur munh se angaar sidha haivan ke jism par ja giri, haivaan ka pura badan aafrupi taur se us neeli aag mein jalne laga, sab aankhe phaade us yakeen na kar pane wale waqya ko dekhne lage, haivan ka jism zanjeero mein jal raha tha, uska pura badan kaanp uth raha tha tabhi uska zakhmi ghoda dhua mein tabdil hota uspar aa gira aur kala dhua ban gaya, haivaan ko pura wo jinnat angaaro se jala rahe they, tabhi pau fhata aasman mein Suraj nikalne laga, sab hairat se us manzar ko dekh rahe they, kisi ke aankho mein neend nahi thi, wo raat badi bhaari aur kasbe par chamatkar si guzarti lagi,

Har koi ishwar ka prathna kar raha tha, aur wo aag haivan ko dehkaaye ja rahi thi, Suraj ki roshni gaddhe pe padi fhir us sar Kate jalte haivan par, ek tez aag ka shola sabki aankhe chaundhiya gaya aur fauran aasman se ek bijli sidha us haivan par aa giri, tabut aag ki lapato mein jalne laga, haivan ka jism mehez raakh reh gaya, tabut ke har taraf aag thi, aur wo jinnati jamaat aankho se arifin ke ojhal ho gaye, arifin wohi gir pada,

Sab gaddhe mein utar aaye kayi hatho ne arifin ko uthakar bahar laaya toh har koi hairat se khaali tabut mein raakh aur  zanjeere padi dekhne laga, aisa laga jaise usmein kabhi haivaan tha hi nahi, pehli dafa bairhaat kasbe par zindagi ka naya savera hua tha, Suraj ki roshni ne us lambe arse ki manhusiyat ko town par se utaar diya tha,

Divesh arifin ko jagaane laga, uski halat dekhkar aisa laga ki ab na bachne ke kagar par thi, divesh aur kuch logo ki aankhe nam thi, "arifin utho tum Jeet Gaye dost tumne kar dikhaya haivaan maara gaya we have done it brother"...divesh ne uske bejaan hote jism ko jhinjhoda

Usne uske gehre zakhm ki taraf dekha jo baaye pasli mein ek sirhe se dusre sirhe tak tha achanak Suraj ki tej roshni uske zakhm par Roshan hote hi jaise padi toh us zakhm ko aafrupi dhang se bharne lagi, divesh hairaani se dekh sakta tha ki ab uska jism zakhmo se nijat pa chuka tha, arifin ko hosh aane laga...."ye aam Banda nahi ho sakta waqayi allah ka bheja hamare liye farishta sabit hua".....piche Maulana saheb keh uthe

Unhone divesh ke kandhe pe hath rakhkar muskuraye oose nischint kiya ki ab arifin khatre se bahar tha, har koi hairat se arifin ko aankh kholte dekh sakta tha, wo ab bhi behoshi ki taari mein tha,

Udhar Jungle ke qabr mein padi wo aakhri nishani wo sar Kate haivan ki kati khopdi apne aap Suraj ke uspar Roshan hote hi kayi tukdo mein fhatke raakh ho gayi, qabar ke upar uthi wo paid aag ki lapato mein jalkar pehle hi khaak ho chuki thi jab haivan ke murda jism par gaddhe mein Suraj ki roshni padi thi, ujaad jungle se bhi jaise wo manhusiyat apne aap hatt gayi aur reh gayi aam sard khamoshi,

Conclusion

Kasbe ki khushiya aur raunak  kayi arse baad laut aayi, waha logo ke chehro par manhusiyat nahi ab zindadili thi, aisa jamghat tha jaise wo eid ka din ho, har koi gale lagkar ekdusre ko mubarakbad de raha tha, unke aankhe nam thi apne apno ko khone ke liye aur unke liye insaf paake bhi, haivaan ke ant se tamam logo mein rahat aur sukoon tha

Divesh aur arifin do din aur ruke, aur kasbewalo ke liye wo log Shahi mehman ban gaye, inspector dinkar ne unka laakh shukriyada kiya balki hairani jatayi ki jo kaam aajtak pahuche huye log na kar sake aaj un dono ne is daur kar dikhaya, arifin aur divesh puri tarah theek hokar ab ruksat ke liye nikal rahe they jabki us din kasbe waale bheedh lagaye vidaa karne waha unhe pahuche they, unhe kasbe se jaane ki tayyari mein dekh sab mayus they, us aurat ne jisne arifin ko baddua di thi arifin se aage aakar maanfi maangi jispar arifin ne ooski mafi ko nazarandaz kar oose samjhaya zazbat ka daur kuch waqt chala, inspector dinkar unka saaman baggi mein rakh chuka tha aur uspar sawar hokar un dono ki taraf dekh raha tha jo kasbewalo se aakhri baar haath milakar unse vidai le rahe they

"Tum dono agar nahi aate toh shayad ye aafat ye rooh kabhi in kasbewalo ka aur hamara picha na chodhti"

"Ye sab aapke aur baaki kasbe walo ki madad ke bagair kahan mumkin tha? Ab aap log chain se rahiye kisi ko kabhi ghabrane ya kahi bhaag jaane ki zarurat nahi ye kasba aap logo ka hai, kisi napak shaitan ka nahi, khuda kare ki yaha mare tamam logo ko jannat naseeb ho aur un shaitan ki pairwi karne wale marla aur us haivaan ko dozakh mein saqt se saqt azab mile"

"Ameen"......Maulana saheb ne muskurakar buland awaz mein kaha sabne unka sath dete huye wo lavz dohraya  

"Ab humhe izazat dijiye sarpanch ji khuda hafiz"......divesh ne muskurakr kaha

"Khuda Hafiz aur jarur wapis aana humse milane".....Maulana saheb ne kaha to arifin ne sehmati mein sar hilaya, tabhi dono baggi par jaise sawar huye, baggi par aage sawar dinkar ke ishare par baggi aage raste par badhne lagi,

Arifin bheedh bhare kasbe walo ki taraf jo town ke simana par khade unhe jaate dekh haath dikha rahe they, arifin aur divesh ne bhi unhe haath dikhaye unse vidai li, jab wo log nazaro se ojhal ho gaye aur baggi sadak par tej daudti huyi kafi dur nikal aayi toh arifin ne nam aankho se apne wallet mein fasi us tasveer ko dekha wohi ladki jise usne na paake bhi khoya tha,

"Tumhe apni jaan ki bilkul parwah nahi  marrte marrte bache tum ye jante they ki jung haar bhi sakte they"

"Jaan ki parwah to oosi din khatam ho gayi thi jab mujhe ahesas hua ki mera apna ab koi nahi, agar marr bhi jata toh bas ye gam rehta ki main is begunah kasbewalo ke liye kuch kar na saka"

Divesh lajawab huye bina na reh saka, "waise tumne toh dost se badhkar mera sath diya mere liye apni jaan daanv pe lagayi"...arifin tab divesh ke mukhatib huya uske hausle aur madad ke shukriyada mein bola

"Bhulo mat main bhi is case par kaam kar raha tha aakhir Syed sahab ko mujhe bhi toh jawab dena tha duty jo bajani thi"

Dono ne ekdusre ki taraf gambhirta se dekha aur fhir unke chehre badle, wo dono ek sath tahaka lagakar hassne lage, divesh ne uske kandhe pe hath rakhkar bahar unhi nirjan kheto ki taraf dekha, lekin na toh ab is sard kohre mein Darr tha na wo veerapan,

"Aaj dhoop itne din baad pehli dafa nikli"

"Ab bairhaat pe khuda ki rehmat hai, isliye na wo andhera kabhi yaha lautega na kabhi wo ghode par sawaar sar kata haivaan"

"Khuda na kare kabhi aise cheezo se dobara vasta pade".....mann hi mann se divesh ne jaise bairhaat ko ghurte kaha

Tabhi arifin ne uske hath mein peene ke liye thoda sa Pani diya, "ye kya hai?"...divesh ne sawalat bhare nazaro se arifin ki taraf dekhte pucha

"Pee lo aave zam zam hai dil ki bechaini aur ghabrahat ko dil se nikaalne mein ye aaram pahuchayega"

Divesh ne oose bejhijhak pee liya toh arifin ne muskuraya, ye hidayat oose kabhi uske ustad azaan ne di thi,

Dono baggi se bahar suhane mausam ki taraf fhir dekhne lage, aur baggi kheton ke beech ki sadak paar kar dur aage nikal gayi apne manzil ki taraf....

The End...✍️
