Sonbarsa kehne ko hamara hi gaav tha, par yaha lautne ki humein koi khushi
nahi thi. Hoti bhi kaise..Nikhil humein yaha chod kar phir shahar lautne wale
the. Mann toh kar raha tha unhe mana le, unse kahe ki woh hume apne saath
vapas le jaaye, Maayi-Bawji ki daant sunne se toh shahar jana hi behtar tha.
Raat ko jab Nikhil ne humse puncha, “Laajo tum iss faisle se khush ho na?”.
Hum kehte bhi kya, ek shabd humri zehen mein nahi aa raha tha. “Kaka-Kakimaan toh jayenge na?” ..Maa Bawji ke baare mein sochkar toh humra dil ghabra
jaata hai. Nikhil ne shabdo ka humre paas koi jawab na tha, par humne bhi
muskurakar keh diya..”Maanenge kyu nahi, Bholenath ji ne chaha toh zaroor
maan jayenge”.
Humre andar umadta samandar roke na ruke, bistar par let te hi aankhen
chalak uthi.
Waise Sonbarsa mein vapas aakar hum thode khush bhi the. Subah hote hi hum
apni behno ke saath khel kud mein lag gaye. H um toh khelte khelte bahut
durr pahuch gaye the. Bawji ko waha dekh humein laga, arrey Bawji humein
vapas bulane kahe aaye hai? Ab kya ho gaya? Bawji ne humse jaldi ghar jakar
taiyaar hone ko keh diya.
Do kshan ke liye toh kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha. Hum bahut khush the, par
hazaron sawaalon ne hamare dil-o-dimag ko gher rakha tha. Samajh hi nahi aa
raha tha kya kare.
Kheton mein jab hum Nikhil se mile, hum bahut ghabraye hue the. Par humri
saari ghabrahat dur ho gayi jab Nikhil ne humri aankhon mein dekh humein
vapas apne ghar aane ko kaha. Humein yakeen hi nahi hua.
Humre gaav mein humre maa-bawji ko shadi todne ka baat nahi bata sakte, aur
waha shahar mein toh bas shaadi todne ka hi baat hota hai. Nikhil ki
pareshaani hum samajh sakte hai, par iska salushan na humre paas hai naa uu
ke paas. Par ek baat toh humein aaj samajh gayi..Nikhil bahut hi sache
insaan hai. Unhone humri madad aise samay mein ki jab humre saath koi khada
na raha..
Hum shahar vapas aa toh gaye hai par kya Nikhil ke parivaar wale humein
apnayenge? Kya parivaar ka sukh prapt hoga…inn prashno ka uttar abhi humre
paas nahi hai. Aise situation mein sab kuch Bholenath ji par hi chod dena
chahiye, yehi hum maante hai!
