Garii (car) ab kachy rasty sy nikl ker pakey rasty per rawan dawan the..... Jis kism ki surathaal thi us ky mutabik Safer mukamal khamoshi sy teh ho  reh tha.....kabhi kabhi meena k hilny sy Uski churiyon  ki chankarچھنکار is sanatey me gonjeti... Or phir sy khamoshi chaa jati....
Musalsal rony ki weja sy Uski ankhen sooj chuki thi.... Or un mein shadeed jalen mehsoos ho rehi thi.... Sir alag dard sy phat reha tha.....
Mager ye takleef us takleef k agey Kuch bhi Nahi thi jo usko aj badalty chehrey dekh ker uthani pari thi.....

Uska zehen bilkul ما ؤفho chuka tha.... Yahan tak k apny sath bethy kisi wajood ka ehsas bhi jata reha tha....  Bilkul sakut nigahen liye khirki sy bahir dekhti rehi........
 
Gari mei khaney peeny ka saman mojood hony k baees safer jari rekha gaya....
Ebaad ki hidayat k mutabik driver ki koshish thi k wo jld sy jld apny sahab ko manzil e maqsood tk poncha dy.....

                    ***************
Meena ka sakta us waqt tuta tha  jb Garii ik shandaar bangley k samney ik jhatkey sy ruki thi..... Us ny ankhon ko meech ker khola.....

"Uter bhi jao ab..... "!! Ebaad ki awaaz Usky kanon sy takrai to be sakhta usny gardun morh ker.... Apny baraber mein bethy shaks ko dekha.....
Jo شعلہ بار نگاہوںsy usy ghor reha tha.... Meena k dil ki dhadkan tez hui..... Dopher ka sara waqia usky zehan mein yukdum taza hua.... Or uski nazeren jhuk gaien......
Driver ny uski side ka darwaza khola to wo gari sy bahir nikl ayee.....

Ebaad ny usky uterny tk ka intezaar Nahi kia tha or lamby lamby dug bharhta underoni hissey me chala gaya tha.....

"Bb jee ap samny sy under chali jaiyee"

Meena ny ik thaka thaka saans bhara or sir utha ker aasaman ko dekha jahan shaam k saaye gehrey hony lagy the......
ahista ahista qadum uthati wo  us taraf chal pari Jahan abhi abhi driver ny ishara kia tha...

Under dakhil hotey hee uski nazer ik Zara bhari umer ki khatoon per perhi or unsy hoti hui ebaad per ja ker theher ٹھرgai....

"Mummy ab ku or kesy ko rehny dijeeye.... Ap chahti thi k mein shaadi ker lu!! Meiny ker lee.... That's it.... Is barey mein dubara baat nahi kerna Chahu ga...... " ebaad ny do tok andaaz mein samny bethi khatoon sy kaha jo uski maa thein....

Feroza (ebaad ki mummy) ny bety ky is andaaz per honth bheench liye.... Wo janti thein k abhi jitni bhi khoj laga lein Ebaad koi sira hath mein nai thumai ga.....
Itna wo jaan gai thien k is aachanak shaadi k peechy koi bhi or weja ho sakti hy mager mohabbat nahi werna wo is tarah Apni biwi ko nazer andaaz kerta hua akela under na atta....

"Tum fresh ho ao mein khana lagwati hun " unho ny Ebaad  ko mukhatib kia.....

Wo bhi sir hilata hua uth khara hua k aachanak   nazer main door k becho beech khari Meena per gai.... Usky yun ik dum theher janey   per feroza ny bhi  bety ki nazaron k taakub mein dekha...

Ebaad to ik nazer dekh ker apny room ki taraf barh gaya or Feroza ny ishara ker k usey apny pass bulaya...

"Assalam o allikum!! "
Wo ahista ahista chalti hui unky kareeb a gai or ehteraam sy salam pesh kia....

Feroza ny ba Gor uska jaiza liya....

"Wo koi baqaida dulhan nai bani thi.... Meero ny jo jora Gohar ki mehndi per usky  pehnany k liye tyaar kia tha.... Jldi mein wohi pehna ker usko tyaar kia tha zevar ke naam per ik tika uski peashaani per saja diya tha or bazoun mein churiyan dal dee thi.....

"Waallikum salam.... Iss ghar mein khushamadeed ho..... Mein Ebaad ki mummy hun.... "

Meena ny sir jhuka liya.....

"Beta kia naam hy apka? "Usy khamosh dekh ker Feroza ny sawal kia....

"Gee  Mme... Armeena ka... karum deen......!!! "

"Bht khoob!! Acha suno ap bhi ja ker fresh ho jao..... Mein khana lagwati hun mujhe pata hota mera beta. Mera liye bahu la reha hy to koi ehtemam wegra kerwati... "   Unho ny muskura ker baat khtum kee... Or hath sy us janib ishara kia jahan  abhi Kuch deer pehly Ebaad gaya tha.....

Feroza kitchen ki taraf jany lagi tou meena ny unko pukar liya....

"Suniye!!!"

"Han beta bolo"
"Wo mein puchna chahti thi k kia me neechy ka koi  kamra(room)  Istemaal ker sakti hun....." Jijhakty huey usny baat mukamal kee

"Aaaaa sure beta ye samny sy left chali jao.... Wahan hy na room...... "unho ny usky kandhy per thapke تھپکی dety Huey kaha.... 

Wo sir hilati hui chal pari....... Or feroza ko heeraton ky jahan mei deekhail gai.......

                   **************
Kamery(room)  mei a ker usny kundi charaha dee or darwazy k sath lag ker beth gai....  Ankhon mein ansoo bharny lagy..... Usny apny dono hath sir per rekh liyee.....

"Allah gee!!  ye sab kyun ho gaya mery sath.... Mery Abba ny...... Mery Abba ny mera  yaqeen nai kia???kia wo janty nahi thy Apni meena ko.....kitni minten منتیںki mein sab ki.....   Ik moka...... ik moka nai diya kisi ny mujhe..... Meri sachai bayan kerny kaa....
Allah gee ap to janty thy na sab... Phir burai kyu galib agai aachai per..... Mujhe ku ruswai رسوائ ki galiyon ka musafir bana diya Allah gee.... "

Ansoo تواتر sy uska chehra bhigoty rehy....
Phir wo susti sy uthi or washroom mein ja ker chehrey per pani ky kafi sary chintey Mary.... Bahir ane lagi to nigha washroom me lagy qad awar قدآور ainey (glass)  sy takrai.... Usko apna aks کرچیوں ki manid mehsus hua.... Sunehri rung ky lamby frock or churidaar k sath multi colors ka duppata tha jis ky kinaron per Chora Chora sunehri border laga hua tha... Dulhe dulay دھلے دھلاےchehry ki peshani per bht sunehri tikka bhi alam e soug me tha jesy........
Uski ankhen phir sy bharne lagi.....
"Kia mery naseeb me aisi dulhan banana likha tha..... "
"Abba ap to kehty thy jb mera viyaah ho ga tou sara pind dekhy ga..... Mein dulhan banu gee tou shamen  jagmaga jaiy gee..... Or jis ki dulhan banu gee wo apny ap ko kisi badshah sy kum ni Samjhey gaa... Mein usky خزانے ki sab sy qeemti شےhon gee "

"Han Abba dekha tou sary pind ny hy mager  jb mei dulhan bani tou aisa laga  jesy roshan  din ki jagmagahut ny shaam ki siyahi orh lee ho or  jis ki dulhan bani hun wo apny ap ko waqai badshah samjhta hy meger mein usky خزانے per pari dhool Jesi hun Abba...... "

"Sab ajnabi hyn yahan.....Abba amma!!!
Yahan koi mera apna nahi hy.....
Thopi gai hun me..... Be hesiyat ker k rekh diya ap sab logon ny mujhe.... "

Meena bilak bilak k ro rehi thi...... Phir bahir a gai...... Samjh ni a reha tha k under he rehy ya bahir chali jaye......
Mein abhi kisi ka samna ni ker sakti...... Zehan mein Ebaad ka thori deer pehly wala rawaiya agaya tou wo wahin kamrey k becho bech carpet per beth gai.... 
یہی تو وجۂ شکستِ وفاھوئ میری
خلوص دل میں سادہ دل کی آمیزش😭😭😭
              
                *************
"Mummy ap janti hyn k mujhe shaadi kerni hoti to pehly bhi  ker sakta ta ....or kum iz kum itni jld baazi mein tou baarhal na kerta" 

Ebaad ny khana khany k sath sath guftagu ka silsila jari rekhty huey maa sy kaha.....

"Mein Apko sari situation bata chuka hun  k I have no other choice...."

Phir pal bhar k liye ruka or dubara goya hua...

"Or mummy Apko me remind kerwa dun k ROSHNI k ellwa bhi I have no other choice......for ever  "

"Is liye idhar udhar khaberen ponchany ki zarurat ni hy..... Haniya or warda Api  (ebaad ki behnen) ko khudi pata chal jai ga.... "

"Baqi me handle ker lu ga...... "

"Or wo larki??? "Feroza ny mudakhlet kee

"Wo filhal tou yehi rehy gee..... "Phir chonkety huey pucha key
Wo kidhar hy...  ??
Usko Meiny neechy waly guest room me  behj diya tha.....
Tumhari baten suntey suntey wo zehan sy hee nikl gai thi.... Nimo!!  nimo!!

"Nimo jao guest room sy mehmaan ko bula Lao...... "

"G behter bibi gee....... "Nimi ny jawab diya or chli gai....

"Mummy is larki ki wejah sy aj mujhe do do takey ky logon ki baten suneni pari hyn..... Mein.... "

"Aabi plz meri jaan abhi wo bht stress mein ho gee.... "
Feroza ny Ebaad ki baat mukamal na hone dee....

Whatever mummy......anyway me Sony ja reha hun..... Subha niklna bhi hy.....  Wo uthny laga tou  nimi ander dakhil hui
" sahab gee wo room under sy band hy or koi awaaz bhi nahi a rehi"

"Tou rehny do.....  Tum apna kaam khtum ker k quarter me jao...... "

Gee behter.....

Mager Aabi humein check kerna chahiye......aya wo theek hy ya nahi.....

"Aaaaah mummy!!  OK chalen.....

                     ****************
Tez awaz usky kanon sy takrai tou uski neend ka silsila tuta.... Dard ki shadeed leher usky sir ky aar paar hui.... Wo carpet pe laiti hui thi.....
Ik baar phir zaburdust kism ki dustak hui tou wo larkharati hui darwazy tk ponchi or kundi ghira dee ik jhatkey sy darwaza khula toi wo uchal اُچھلker peechy hui........

Ebaad under dakhil hua.....
Or dhar sy darwaza band kia....

"Wo lal ankhen liye usko dekh ker reh gai... "

Wo chalta hua usky pass aya or usky kandhon sy paker ker usy jhinjhor k rekh diya...

"Tumhary baap ka ghar ni hy ye ainda lock mat ker darwaza or Han hum Tumhary baap k noker bhi nahi hyn samjhi k Tumhary khany peeny ki Fiker kerty phiren......  Meena sir jhukaye suntee rehi....

Ebaad ny is kader sakhti sy usky bazoo paker rekhy thy k bht dikut sy usny Apni cheekhon ka gala ghonta tha.... 

"Apni auqaat humesha yaad rekhna samjhi "
or jhatky sy usko Chora k bari mushkil sy meena ny apna توازن berqarar rekha....

Phir uski peshshani per saja tikka bht bedardi sy noocha or zameen boss ker diya.... Usko laga jesy Baal uski sir ki jild sy alag ho gaye hon..... Wo usko dekhti rehi deikhti rehi yahan tk k nazer ansoun k baees dundhala gai....

" zaburdusti ka koi qaiel nai hota hy samjhe or tum meri zindagi me zaburdusti lai gai ho....... "

Ye keh ker wo palat gaya or peechy meena chakera ker neechy ghir gai...... Mager wo chala gaya.....

Ye th meena ki nikkah k bad us shaks sy pehli mulaqaat jis k ishq me wo por por dubti ja rehi thi......

Or agli subha wo ghar sy bhi  chala gaya...... Or meena yahin reh gai...  Bhukhar mein jhulasti hui......

                   ****************

Waqt guzarta reha.... Meena ka ghum to wesy hee tha sulagta hua mager usny apny ap ko kafi had tk sambhal liya tha........ Feroza or usky dermayaan kafi achi understanding develop ho gai thi..... Unsey pata chala tha k wo ebaad ki sagi maa to  hy mager wo yahan kabhi kabhi ata hy..... Kyun ke ebaad k father or unki divorce k bad feroza ny ebaad ko rekhny sy inkaar ker diya tha..... Is liye wo Apni dusari mama k sath zaida attached hy or wohi uska Asal ghar hy wahin uski sari family bhi settled hy....

"Mujhe Apni galti ka andaaza hy is liye mein itny mein bhi khush hu ky wo ajata hy kabhi kabhi....... "

Or ab Dekho tum agai ho naa meri tanhai ko door kerny.......

Meena bolti kum thi sunti zaida  thi.....apny ap ko masroof rekhny lage thi Or feroza ka bht khiyaal rekhti  thi.....  Aisy hee feroza ny bhi meena ki bht diljoi ki thi..... Jis ki weja sy ab wo kafi sambhal gai thi..... Mager dil ki gehraiyon me kahin wo pal ginti,  ghanty ginti or din ginti thi.... Phir mahiney gineny ki bhi nobat agai...hur aahat per chonk jati....  Soty sy jaag jati kahin darwazy py dastak na ho rehi ho.......
" Intezaar ki dhar bht tez hoti hy...... Takleef us waqt shuroo hoti hy jb insaan ka wajood tukrey tukrey ho chuka hota hy...... "

"Abhi wo bhi is tez dhar ki zad mein  thi dil o dimgh sun thy abhi takleef shroo hona baqi thi....."

Wo dhalti shamo or charhtey dino ki ati jati shuaaon mein usko khojny lagi thiii......

"  Ye mery khiyaal ka silsila kisi ki  yaad sy hy juraa hua....... "
