Wo 21 din-3

Me: Adnan sach poocho to main bahut pareshan thi. Lekin aapki baaton ne mujhe himmat di hai. Waise aap itne handsome aur samajhdaar ho. Main aapke pyar ke liye aapka intezaar karungi. Aur mujhe umeed hai ki aapka treatment kamyaab hoga.

Ye baatein karne ke baad hum bed par let gaye, aur Adnan ne fir mujhe pyar karna shuru kiya. Wo kal jaane waale the, aur maine socha mujhe to ye khush nahi kar sakte. Magar unka dil rakhne ke liye main aaj ki raat Adnan ko jhoothi hi sahi, magar khushi doongi.

Fir jab main kuch garam hone lagi. To main jaan-boojh kar siskiyan lene lagi. Adnan ne aaj zara sa andar hi kiya to maine zor se cheekh maari. Adnan ko laga ki meri seal toot gayi thi, aur wo khush ho gaye. Magar zara sa andar daalte hi unka paani nikal gaya, aur wo nidhaal ho gaye.

Maine kaha: Ufff Adnan, aapne to aaj meri haalat kharaab kar di. Lagta hai mujhe aaj aapne pregnant karke chhodha hai.

Wo ye baat sun kar khush ho gaye, aur kaha: Mujhe jaldi ek beta chahiye.

Maine kaha: Arre baba kya abhi nikaal kar dedu? Aaj ke milan mein aapka wo jo paani nikla tha, wo mere andar tak gaya hai. Isse main pregnant ho bhi sakti hu, aur nahi bhi. Aur main pregnant ho bhi gayi to kam se kam 9 maheene intezaar karna padega. Aur wo bhi pregnant hui to.

Adnan ne poocha: Pregnancy ka pata kab chalta hai?

Maine kaha: Arre baba, wo bhi 2-3 ya 4 month baad maloom hota hai.

Adnan ko pata hi nahi tha ki maine uska dil rakhne ke liye sirf drama kiya tha. Mere armaano par to Adnan ke 1 minute ke sex ne paani fer diya tha. Lekin  maine sabar kiya. Ab mujhe koi farak nahi padta tha. Kyunki ye sirf mujhe maloom tha ki mera kunwara-pann jaisa main lekar aayi thi waise hi tha.

Khair doosre din meri saas aur Adnan ko main aur mere sasur jab airport chhodhne gaye, tab raaste mein saas ne muskurate hue dheere se mere kaan mein kaha-

Saas: Bahu, raat ko maine kamre ke baahar tumhari cheekh suni thi. Lagta hai ye hamare pote ke aane ki nishani hai.

Maine muskura kar sar jhuka liya, aur kaha: Dua kijiye, aapki tamanna poori ho jaye.

Main kaise unhe batati ki unka beta is qabil nahi tha ki wo baap ban sake. Khair main unhe dukhi karna nahi chaahti thi, isliye muskura kar baat ko taal diya. Airport se wapsi par main aur mere sasur ne ek hotel mein naashta kiya, aur 11 baje ghar aa kar main so gayi.

Fir shaam ke waqt Adnan ka phone aaya ki wo khairiyat se pahunch gaye the. Main ye baat batane sasur ke room mein jaane lagi. Tab mere sasur ke room se gaane ki awaaz aane lagi. Maine dekha ke wo karaoke track par song gaa rahe the.

Mujhe dekh kar unhone kaha: Aao bahu.

Aur main unke room mein chali gayi. Mere sasur bahut hasmukh the. Hamesha khush raha karte the. Unko dekh acha lagta tha. maine unhe Adnan ke phone ke baare mein bata diya.

Har roz hamari Adnan aur saas se baat hoti thi. Fir achanak  22 march ko janta curfew ka elaan hua, aur us din se hi lockdown ka elaan ho gaya. Do din to aise hi guzar gaye. Magar ek raat jab main sone ki taiyaari kar rahi thi. Tabhi mere room ke baahar se sasur ne awaaz di. Main unhe abbu kehti thi.

Abbu: Bahu.

Me: Ji abbu.

Abbu: Kya main andar aa jau?

Me: Arre aayiye na abbu.

Mere sasur andar aaye. Tab maine nighty pehni thi. Fir maine sar par dupatta le liya. Sasur ji bed ke kareeb rakhi chair par baith gaye.

Abbu: Aur beta sab khairiyat?

Me: Ji abbu, aap sunaiye.

Abbu: Beta mujhe ek baat poochni thi tumse.

Me: Ji abbu kahiye.

Abbu: Bahu tumahare paas jewelry kitni hai?

Unke is sawaal par main achanak hairaan reh gayi. Par wo is ghar ke bade the. Maine khud ko sambhaalte hue kaha-

Me: Abbu mere paas jewelry hogi koi 10 ya 12 tola.

Abbu: Acha, aur tumhare paas jitni jewelry hai iske baare mein tumhari saas ya shauhar  ko maloom hai?

Meri samajh mein nahi aa raha tha ki aaj achanak mere sasur meri jewelry ke baare mein kyun itna pooch rahe the.

Me: Nahi abbu ammi (saas) aur Adnan ne kabhi meri jewelry ke baare mein nahi poocha, aur unhe maloom hai ki mere paas jewelry hai. Magar kitni hai shayad ye nahi maloom. Magar abbu maafi chaahti hu, lekin ye sab aap kyun pooch rahe hai?

Ye sun kar mere sasur ne apni jeb mein hath dala, aur ek gold ka necklace nikaal kar mujhe de diya, aur kaha ki-

Abbu: Tumhari shaadi mein to hum nahi the, aur na hamne tumko muh dikhayi (salaami) di thi. Isliye ye aapka tohfa hai.

Mujhe gold ka khoobsurat necklace dekh kar bahut khushi hui, jo kareeb 3 tola ka tha. Main necklace ko hath mein lekar usko dekhne lagi to abbu ne kaha-

Abbu: Bahu tumhare paas jewelry ka isliye poocha kyunki necklace ko dekh kar kahi tumhari saas ko jalan na ho.

Muskurate hue unhone Ye baat kahi, jise sun kar mujhe bhi hassi aa gayi. Maine kaha-

Me: Nahi abbu, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Ammi kabhi aisa nahi sochti.

Abbu: Chalo achi baat hai.

Main khushi se necklace ko hath mein lekar gaur se dekh rahi thi.

Abbu: Pasand aaya hamara tohfa?

Me: Ji bahut khoobsurat hai.

Abbu: Tumse zyada nahi hai.

Me: Abbu aap bhi na (main sharma gayi).

Abbu: Waise bahu tum jewelry zyada nahi

pehanti. Hamesha saadi hi rehti ho. Aisa kyun?

Me: Abbu jab wo (mere shauhar) yaha the to tab pehanti thi. Jab wo chale gaye to fir dil nahi karta, aur waise bhi main kiske liye khud ko taiyaar karu?
