Agle din subah.
Aparijita apne cabin me baithi saari paristhiyo par vichar kar rahi thi. Aparijita abhi koi eisa kaand nahi chahti thi jo use apne mission se dur bhatkaye; par us kaali raat waali kaarnaama situation ki deemand thi jis se wo nahi bach sakti thi.
Aparijita usulan kisi balatkari ko zinda chhorna pasand nahi karti thi. Wo aachi tarah se jaanti thi jayadatar maamlo me kanoon ke zarurat se jayada lamba process aparadhi ko bachaane me madadgar saabit hote hai. Nyay prakriya se jura koi na koi shaksh chand chaandi ke sikko ke khanak me kanoon ko bech deta hai ya phir lambe mukadmo se tang aa kar fariyadi aur gawah hi tauba bol dete hain.
Jagga ke baare me abi tak koi nai khabar nahi aayi thi. Idhar Japu ne tantrik ke paas aana jaana suru kar diya tha, par wo abhi tak uske karib nahi pahunch paya tha.
Aparijita ka dhyan achanak baj rahe phone se tuta. Dusri taraf Javed tha.
Javed ne bataya ki kuchh aur logo ke baare me pata chala hai jinki details dopahar tak panchayat office me aa jayegi jise lekar wo Aparijita se saam me milega.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jagah-jagah baaris ka pani bhara hone ke karan Aparijita ka jungle adventure abhi band tha. Aur waise bhi usne sabko Jagga ka mamla niptane tak group me rahne ko kaha tha isliye khud akele nikal kar apne banaye rules nahi torna chahti thi.
Dopahar me Kalicharan apne munhlage chamcha aur hamraaz ke saath Premnagar thana pahuncha.
Paristhiyo ko bhapne me mahir Kalicharan ko Aparijita se thori der ke baat-chit me hi samajh aa gya ki agar usne chalaki aur payar se kaam nahi nikaala to use aaj naa sirf khaali haanth jana parega, balki use apni barbadi ke baad hi pata chalega ki inlogo ke paas uske khilaaf kya tha.
Kalicharan ka chamcha jo thano me policewalo ko dhamkane aur unhe apne saath milaane ke liye jaya karta tha; wo itni gahari baat nahi samajh saka. Chamche ka naam bhi uske gun ke anusaar hi tha; Durjan singh. Durjan Singh ek 6 feet lamba aur kasrati badan ka malik tha. Uske tan ke rang ke aage koyla bhi gora lagta tha. Durjan singh se milne waale har kisi ko iss baat ki prabal sambhana lagti thi ki sayad amvasya ke raat me andhere me wo dikhta bhi nahi hoga.
“O madam! Aap hamaare mantriji ki taqat ko nahi jaanti hai. Inke paisab se chirag jalte hain. Tum cheej kya ho! Tumhare jaise policewaliya to hamare mantri shahab ke bangle par inke saamne nangi naachti hain. Apni kamsin jawani par raham khao aur chup-chap nikaal kar saara saman hume de do.” Durjan singh ne apni maanspesiya phulate hue kaha.
Durjan singh ne Aparijita ke pari jaise chehre ko dekh kar apni dhaush jamani chahi thi. Par iska natija jo hua, wo use marte dam tak nahi bhulne waala tha.
Durjan singh ko pata hi nahi chala kab wo kursi se zameen par gira.
Durjan singh ke aankho ke saamne sirf laal-peele sitare dikh rahe the aur khud ko farsh par kisi mare maveshi ki tarah para paya.
Durjan singh ne bari muskil se apne ghumte sar ko thama to paya ki uske munh se khoon nikal raha hai; aur uske 2 pile-pile daant khoon se sane zameen par pare uski aur dekh rahe hai.
Durjan ne karahne ke liye munh khola to uske 2 daant aur neeche gir pare.
Abhi Durjan apne saheed danto ka dhang se matam bhi nahi mana paya tha ki Aparijita ki ek jabardast laat uske pet se takrai. Durjan hawa me urta hua dewaar ke kone se jaa takraya.
Durjan ke hontho se ek lambi si karah nikal pari.
Aparijita ne aage badh kar Durjan ko kisi mare kire ki tarah pakar use apne sar se upar kisi weight-lifter ki tarah utha liya.
Kalicharan ka munh Aparijita ki taqat ko dekh kar khula rah gaya.
Kalicharan ko samjah me aa gaya ki agar kuchh aur der Aparijita ne Durjan ki dhulai karti rahi to Durjan ke sarir me koi haddi saabut nahi bachne waali hai. Wo harbara kar Aparijita ko rokne ke liye badha. Tab tak Aparijita ne gande kapro ki potli ki tarah Durjan ko zameen par de patka tha.
“Haramzade, tu mujhe nangi nachwayega.” Aparijita dharati hui Durjan ki or badhte huye boli.
Kalicharan zaldi se Aparijita ke saamne aage minnate karne laga.
“Madam, use maaf kar dijeye. Yeh mere parivaar ke saaman hai. Mere bete ki maut se wo bahut gamzada hai aur iska dimaag theek se kaam nahi kar raha hai. Isliye isne kuch jayada hi bol diya hai. Uske taraf se main maafi maangta hoon.”
Kalicharan Durjan ko utha kar use thappar marne laga.
“Saale, tujhe baat karne ki tameej nahi hai. Ek lady officer se eise baat karte hai. Chal nikal yaha se.” Yeh kahte hue Kalicharan Durjan ko bahar khari apne car ki aur le jaane laga.
Thori der pahle pahuche Ghanshyam aur Dinesh munh ghuma kar hans rahe the. Ghanshyam ne jab dhraam-dhurum ki awaaz suni to wo Aprijita ki cabin ki aur bhaga aaya tha; par jab usne parde ke aut se Durjan ki dhunayi dekhi to sabko saant rahne ko kah kar darwaaje se sat kar khara ho andar ka maazra dekhne laga tha.
---------------------------------------------------
Kalicharan ke nikalte hi Aparijita apne chair par aa ke baith gayi. Uske chehre ke bhaav iss kadar normal the maano abhi kuchh hua hi nahi ho.
Udhar Kalicharan Durjan ko lataar raha tha.
“Abe harami, Pahle se baat bigri hui hai aur us par se tu aag me petrol daal raha hai. Baat samjhni nahi hai par patar-patar zaroor karna hai. Yenhi chupchaap baith; mujhe maamla suljhaane de. Rajneeti ka kakhara nahi aata aur mukhiya ka chunav larna chah raha tha.”
“Par sahab wo aapko koi value hi nahi de rahi thi. Usko aap eise hi chhor denge.” Durjan ne apna gaal sahlate hue kaha.
“Abhi chupchap tel aur tel ki dhar dekh. Iss karak larki par mera bhi dil aaya hua hai par pahle apna kaam. Raajneeti me apne pahle apna fayda dekha jaata hai. Agar yeh larki hamare fayade ka kaam karti hai to hum sab kuchh bhul jayenge. Larkiyo ki kaun se kami hai. Doodh dene wali gai ka laat khane me bhi harz nahi hota.” Kalicharan ne Durjan ko samjhate hue kaha.
Kalicharan thori der Durjan ko samjhane ke baad ek baar phir Aparijita ke cabin ki aur badha.
“Madam, main ek baar phir Durjan ki harkart ke liye maafi maangta hoon.” Kalicharan ne kursi par baithte hi baat sambhalni chahi .
“Hum dono jaante hai ki aap yaha kyu hain. Isliye sidhe mudde par baat karte hain.” Aparijita ne thore teekhe swar me kaha.
Kalicharan us waqt ko kos raha tha jab usne Durjan ko saath chalne ko kaha tha. Wo jaanta tha, ab agar usne jara si bhi dhaus jamaane ki kosis ki to use yaha se khaali haanth lautna parega. Kalicharan apna munh khol kar aur musibat mol nahi lena chahta tha. Upar se use yeh bhi pata nahi tha inn logo ke paas uske khilaf kya hai.
Jab Kalicharan ne kuchh der tak kuchh nahi bola to Aparijita ne baat suru ki.
“Mantriji, aapko yaha ke staff ke angainst complain nahi karna chahiye tha. Humlogo ne aapka itna lihaj kiya aur aapne uska yeh silaa diya!" Aparijita ne thore naraazgi bhare swar me kaha.
Kalicharan sar jhukaye sun raha tha. Wo tab tak kuchh nahi bolna chahta tha; jabtak ki use yeh naa pata chal jaaye ki inn logo ke paas uske khilaaf kya hai.
"Humne jab dusre din jab maukay-e-baardat ki jagah aur uske aas-paas thori dur tak chhanbin ki to hume ek handy video camera mila. Camera me mauzud recording theek se copy nahi ho raha tha. Maine apne ek jaankaar expert se recoding ko phir se restore karwaya. Maine uski ek copy laptop me rakhi hui hai; aap intminaan se isse meri cabin me baith kar dekhiye. Main aadhe ghante me aati hoon; tab hum iss par baat karenge. Aur haan headphone jaroor laga lijeyga; sayad usme recorded baaten aap dusro ko sunna dene ka risk naa uthana chaahen.”
Itna kah kar Aparijita ne apne laptop aur headset Kalicharan ko de ek video file chala Kalicharan ke kuchh bolne se pahle hi cabin se baahar nikal gayi.
Kalicharan ki haalat suspense me kaharab ho rahi thi. Usne headphone baali baat se hi samajh liya tha ki usme eisa kuchh hai jo wo kabhi kisi ka sunna wo gabara nahi kar sakta hai.
Baahar aa kar Aparijita ne Harilal aur 3 constables ko Phulpur aur Abhaypur bhej waha ke logo ka tantrik ke baare me vichaar pata karne ko kaha. Unke jaane ke 2 minute baad Ghanshyam ne uske issare pe kuchh aur constables ko Chaila aur Dadauli bhej unhe Kalicharan ke bete ki maut par waha ke logo ka reaction pata karne ka kaam saupa diya. Ab thane me sirf us raat se jure log hi mauzod the.
Aashanka ke badal panch pandavo ke chehre par nazar aa rahe the.
“Madam, yeh harami Kalicharan yaha kyu aaya hai aur Durjan ki itni dhulayi ke baad bhi wo shaant kaise hai? Kalicharan naag se bhi jayada zahreela hai; isliye ....” Dinesh ne chhutate hi puchha.
Dinesh ki baat puri hone se pahle hi Aparijita ne use rok diya.
“Saari situation control me hai. Mujhe Dinesh ne jab apne teacher ke baare me bataya tha; tabhi maine soch liya tha ki Kalicharan ke pichwaare par laat laga kar usi se rupaiye vasul Dinesh ke teacher ka illaz aur unke family ke support ke liye koi side me kaam suru karawayungi. Kalicharan kaise react karega wo mujhe doubt tha; isliye uski kaat ke liye maine video banbwaayi thi. Kalicharan ne hum sabke punishment ke liye headoffice me meeting bulwayi thi. Jab mujhe apne niji shutro se yeh pata chala to maine use zameen par laane ke liye bulaba bhej diya. Ab wo yaha se rupaiye dekar bhi jayega aur hume thanks bhi bolega.” Aparijita ne muskarte hue kaha .
Panch pandavo ka munh khula rah gaya. Wo to sirf un dono ko maarne tak hi soch paye the; par Aparijita ne kuchh hi minuto me na sirf unhe maarne ka perfect plan bana liya tha balki aane wale khatre se bachne aur Dinesh ke teacher ko help karne ka tarika bhi soch liya tha.
“Bhai, tumlog mera munh kya dekh rahe ho. Dinesh ka Guru dakhsina dene ka waqt nazdeek aa gaya tha; ab uske liye kuchh to karna tha.” Aparijita ne muskurate hue kaha.
Aparijita ke iss baat par sabke chehre khushi se kheel uthe.
--------------------------------------------------------
Aparijita ke saamne baithe Kalicharan ke chehre se hawaiya udh rahi thi. Video dekhne ke pahle tak wo soch raha tha ki video wala maamla niptaane ke baad kisi bhi tarah se Aparijita ko apne jute ke niche laana hai; par ab uske aankho ke saamne adhera chhaya hua tha.
“Haan to mantriji, lagta hai ki aapko cinema pasand nahi aaya." Aparijita ne Kalicharan ki or teekhi nazaro se dekhte huye kaha.
Pal bhar ko chup rah Aparijita ne baat aage badhayi, par Kalicharan kisi but ki tarah baitha Aparijita ki or dekh raha tha. Kalicharan ke chehre se hawaia ur rahi thi.
"Jab mere paas ye video recover hoke aaya. maine video dekhne ke baad sarsari taur par apne saathio se iss par baat ki. Tab Dinesh ne aapse apne sambandho ka hawala dekar mujhe ye video aapko saupne ko raaji kar liya tha. Udhar aap apne bete ke antim sanskaar me busy the isliye yeh video aap tak aaj raat ko Dinesh khud lekar jaane wala tha. Par aapne complaint karke apne pair par khud hi khulhari maar li. Dinesh ne bahoot kosis ki par baaki log iss video ke kharidaar dhoodne lage. Abhi sauda 40 lakh par aakar aage ke negotiation par atki hui hai. ”
Aparijita ne ek baar ruk kar kalicharan ke chehre ki aur dekha jo ab aur safed ho gaya tha.
“Sarkar banane ke liye MLA kharidne wali baat se to thora halla humgama ke baad bhi aap bach jayoge. Par aapke aur dusre mahila pursh MLA, MP, IAS-IPS officers, business man aur patrakaaro ke saath aapke farmhouse me huye orgy parties aur alag-alag jagaho par aapke dusro ke saath rangrailo ki details se kaise bachoge jo date aur jagah ke naam ke saath bataye gaye hain. Aapke bete ne to eise-eise hastiyo ka naam bataya hai jo apna raaj khulte dekh yaa apne pariwaar ka naam bachane ke liye aapki naam ki supari dene me der nahi karenge. Ram-ram! Aapne to apne bhai jaise dost ki beti aur bibi ko bhi nahi chhora. Aapka beta aur uska dost bhi video me kahte dikh rahe hai ki unhone aapko khud apni aankho se un dono ke saath sambadh banate dekha hain. ”
Kalicharan girgit ki tarah rang badal jhat se Aparijita ke saamne dandwat ho gaya.
“Are-are! Yeh aap kya karne lage!” Aparijita ne vyang bhare swar me kahna suru kiya aur last word tak aate-aate uska chehra shakht ho gaya tha.
“Beti! Mujhe maaf kar do. Mai bahut bara gadha hoon. Maine apne logo ke khilaaf complain kar di. .." Kalicharan ka naatak apne charam par tha. Wo khud ko thappre maarta hua kos raha tha.
Kosna khatam kar apne ghariyaali aanshu pochh Kalicharan saudebaazi par aa gaya.
"Mai iss galti ke liye 50 lakh dene ko taiyar hoon . Mujhe iss video ki saari copies de do, please. Main tumhara ehsaan jindgi bhar nahi bhulunga.”
"Pahle mera pair chhor kar chair par jaa kar baitho!" Aparijita ne apne pair jhatakte hue kaha.
Kalicharan apna dum daba chupchaap chair par baith gaya.
"Aajkal ki raajneeti me kya ho raha hai wo kisi se chhupa nahi hai; isliye hume sarkar kaise bani isme koi dilchaspi nahi hai. Tumhara sauda mujhe manjoor hai. 50 lakh dekar camera aur cd lekar jaao. Ek copy maine apne paas rakha hai kyuki mujhe tum par bharosa nahi hai. Jo banda eisi paristhithi jisme wo khud gale tak phasa hua hai; thane me aakar eisi harkart kar sakta hai us se saabdhan rahne me hi bhalai hai. Maine wo video ek bande ko saup kar instruction diya hai. Agar mujhe kuchh ho jaaye to turant wo video saare TV channels ko bhej di jaayegi. Ab 50 lakh nikalo aur video lekar yaha se phuto." Aparijita ne barf jaise thande sawar me kaha.
Kalicharan kisi statue ki bhaanti chupchaap baitha tha . Kaha to wo soch ke aaya tha ki apna ruwab dikha kar sauda saste me nipta lega. Par yaha ulta hi ho gaya tha.
"Is video me kya-kya hai uska sirf chhota sa suraati hissa baaki staff ko pata hai kyuki maine unhe naa hi video dikhayi hai aur naa hi iska detail bataya hai. Isliye tum rupaiye dekar nischint ho sakte ho. Jab tak tum koi ulti-seedhi harkart nahi karoge tab tak sab theek rahega." Aparijita ne Kalicharan ko aashwat karte hue kaha.
Kalicharan chupchaap uth aaj hi riswat me mile rupaiyo se 60 lakh nikal ek bag me daal vapas Aparijita ke paas pahuncha. Use apne andar se aawaaz aati sunayi di agar usne jara bhi tedha chalne ki kosis ki to iss bar jaan bhi jaayegi.
Kalicharan ne wahi kiya jo aaj tak karta aaya tha. Uski policy thi ki taaqatbar dusman se dosti kar li jaayi yaa phir uske virodhio se gathjor karke taaqtabar dusman ke against apna group banaya jaaye. Isliye usne aur 10 aakh deke Aparijita ki taraf sulah ka paigaam bheja.
"Beti, Isme 50 lakh video ki aage kisi aur ko naa dene ki tay kimat hai aur 10 lakh main tumhe alag se meri madad karne ke liye de raha hu. Agar tum naa hoti to yeh video ab tak media me aa chuka hota. Maine abhi-abhi Police headquarter phone karke apni complaint bhi vapas le li hai." Kalicharan ne bag Aparijita ko dete hue kaha.
Aparijita kuchh der tak kalicharan se baat karti rahi.
Aparijita se kuchh der aur baat karne ke baad kalicharan ke dil-o-dimag par Aparijita ka khauf aur gahra baith gaya tha.
Kalicharan camera aur CD ke saath waha se eise nikala maano der hone par Aparijita apna iraada naa badal de.
Pure safar ke dauran Kalicharan chup hi raha . Pahle to usne socha tha ki use blackmail karne waale policiyo ko wo maza chakhayega; par ab wo sab kuchh bhul jana chahta tha. Kalicharan ne Durjan ko bhi kuchh karne se mana kar diya ; par wo nahi jaanta tha ki Durjan ne Aparijita se badla lene ki kasam kha li hai.
==================================
Aparijita bag apne quarter me chhupa kar panch paandavo ko apne cabin me bulaya. Usne kuchh lifafe quarter jaane se pahle hi alag kar rakhe the.
"Kalicharan ke bete ke aatank ke shikar logo me se kuchh ko agar sahaayta nahi ki gai to unke paas suicide ke aalaba koi raasta nahi bachega. Dinesh ke maasteji ke aalaba unlogo koi bhi iss rakam se thori help karne ki kosis hum karenge." cabin me Aparijita ki gambhir swar gunj raha tha. - "Iss rakam se 2-2 lakh mai sabme baant rahi hoon taaki koi yeh naa bhule ki wo bhi uss ghatna me hum sabhi barabari ka bhagidaar hain aur apne saathiyo se gaddari naa karen. Hum me se koi bhi iss par abhi ke baad aapas me bhi baat nahi karega. Shikar bane logo ki madad kaise karni hai wo main us se sambandhit logo ko hi batayungi."
"Madam didi! Agar aap puri rakam bhi un sataye logo par kharch karen to hume aapti nahi hai." Japu ne kaha. Uske chehre par saaf dikh raha tha ki yeh baat wo dil se bol raha tha.
Ghanshyam ke dil me itni dino se kai sawaal ghum rahe the par usko iska koi satik jawaab nahi mil paaya tha. Aaj usne puchhne ka faisala kar hi liya.
"Madam didi us video me kya kya baaten record hui wo hume bilkul pata nahi hai. Agar aap batana chahe to ..." Ghanshyam thora sakuchaate hue puchh baitha.
"Maine unlogo ke car ke bonut par ek saktisaali bug laga diya tha. Mai unki baatchit dur khari earphone par sun rahi thi . Tumlogo ne waha mere baye kaan par earphone to dekha hi tha; usi ki madad se main undo ki baatchit sun rahi thi. Unki baaten bahut hi visphotak thi isliye maine tumlogo ko video dekhne nahi diya tha. Tumlogo ko saari baato ka detail jaanane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Naa tumhe wo baaten pata hogi naa hi baaten leak hone ka dar hoga." Aparijita ne saara rahasay naa kholte huye kaha.
Us raat kisi ne bhi Aparijita ke kaan me lage earphone ko utni mahatav nahi diya tha. Puri baat jaanke unke dilo-dimaag me ek baar fir apne afsar ke liye samman badh gaya.
"Tumlog apna-apna hissa le lo kyuki baaki rakam madad pahunchane ke liye kaafi hai." Aparijita ne 5 lifaafe table par rakhte hue kaha.
Pahle to sab hichke phir Aparijita ke jor dene par sabne ek-ek lifafa utha liya.
"Ab sab log jaao aur apne-apne kaam par lag jaao. Japu aur Ghanshyam kuchh der baad jayenge." Aparijita ne Japu aur Ghanshyam ko rok liya.
