Fiza

“Waah Mamu, kya sher e alfaaz hai. Waah! Waah!” Tayyab aur Zafar tareef pe utar aaye.

“Aap logon ko yehi maza aa gaya hai pr yeh sirf kahani hi nhi aap logon k mustakbil k liye seekh bhi hai. Isiliye achche se suniyega.” Tazeem ne bachchon ko samjhaya.

Tayyab ko ilm ho gaya tha ki yeh sirf ek mohabbat ki kahani nhi, ek zakhm ki tehreer hai.

Tazeem apni kahani ki bayaan shuru ki.

Tazeem, Fiza ki shaadi mein dastak de rha tha. Unki aankhein Fiza ko dulhan k libaas mein dekh rhi thi. Pr uske chehre mein woh chamak gayab thi, murjhai hui si dikh rhi thi. Unhe yeh nazrana samajh nhi aaya. Kuch toh baat ajeeb thi.

Roshniyan, phoolon aur mehfilon ki awaaz se saja hua yeh shaadi hall Tazeem ko raas nhi aaya.

Tabhi Fiza k Nano ne use dekh liya tha.

Tazeem k paas bhari kadam chalte hue unhone bas ek guhar lagayi. Numm aankhon k saath unhone kaha,

“Beta, aaj agar koi Fiza ko uski izzat dila sakte hai, toh woh tum ho. Tum toh jaante hi ho uss college k waqya k baad uski zindagi palat gyi hai. Sab usko bura bhala bol rhe hai jabki uski koi galati bhi nhi thi. Tumne use tab bhi bachaya tha…Aaj bhi bachalo, mere bachche.”

Nano k aankhon mein aansun aur unke bhari alfaaz, Tazeem k dil mein kahin gehra utar gaya.

“Aaj uska nikah nhi hua toh meri nazuk Fiza toot jayegi.” Nano, apni natin ko aise nhi dekh paa rhe the. Tazeem gawah tha uss waqya ka jab usne Fiza ko bachake use izzat e salamat k saath ghar le aaya tha.

Nano ki yeh bebasi aur udasi chehra k saath Fiza ka jhuka sar dekhke, Tazeem ne haan keh di. Bas ek shart tha, Fiza ki haami.

Fiza apni aakhein niche kri hui thi. Usmein himmat nhi thi apni dost rishtedaron se aankhein milane ki. Pr pata nhi kyun, uska dil kiya ek baar dekh lena chahiye. Palkhe upar uthi aur Tazeem nazar aa gaya. Magar uss palkhon k kinare dabe aansun, Tazeem ko dikh gye. Woh Tazeem jo uska bachpan se achcha dost tha.

Fiza aur Tazeem ki aankhein mili. Fiza ne Nano ko uske paas khade dekha. Usko pichla ek waqya yaad aa gaya. 2 saal pehle ka waqya jab aakhiri baar dono ki baatein hue thi.

Fiza rote hue, band kamre mein Tazeem ko call kr rhi thi. Woh calls nhi utha raha tha. Woh baichain ghoom rhi thi yahan wahan. Bahar uske Mamu aur unke pariwar k har log darwaza kholne ki guhaar kr rhe the. Nano ko bulaya jaa raha tha, aakhir Fiza unke liye khaas thi. Apni beti khone k baad, uski aakhiri nishani Fiza thi.

Nano k kehne pe bhi Fiza ne darwaza nhi khola.

Uss toote hue dil ko woh samajh rhe the.

Tazeem ne message bheja.

“Main Airport k liye nikal rha hun. Bangalore mein ek bahut achchi job lagi hai. Kaash Tum bhi yahan hoti… achcha lagta mujhe…”

Fiza ne use jawab mein likha,

“Tazeem, woh bhi mujhe chhod k chala gaya…”

Fiza ne Tazeem ko pehle hi apni mangni k baare mein bataya tha pr ladke ne 2 din pehle mana kr diya.

“Fiza, tum ek khoobsurat achchi ladki ho. Tumhe koi bhi mil jayega. Jo milega bahut achcha shauhar milega jo tumhe bahut khushiyan dega…”

Sisak sisak k rote hue, Fiza ne message padha aur bheja,

“Kuch poochna chahti hun tumse. Mana mat krna…”

“Haan, poocho…”

Fiza ne apni daastan e mohabbat bayan ki. Woh Tazeem ko chupke chupke chahti thi. Aur saath hi woh gawah tha uske izzat e salamat ka. Fiza ka dil jaanta tha ki wahi uske liye bana hai.

“Kya tum mujhse shaadi kroge?” Fiza ne message bheja. Use ummeed thi ki Tazeem maan jayega. Khubsurat, achche paise wali job ka kuch nhi kr sakte jab tak log ek maazi waqya ko leke izzat uchhalte rahe. Tazeem k bolne pe bhi sab peeth peeche Fiza ko bura bhala bolte rehte the. Unki nazron mein Tazeem bhi mila hua tha uss waqya mein. Fiza yeh sab nhi jhel paa rhi thi isiliye use shauhar ki talash thi. Nikah k baad sabke muh band ho jaate. Pr har rishta hone se pehle kuch na kuch bura ho jaata.

Aansun pochte hue, Fiza ne Tazeem ka bheja hua message padha.

“Mujhe maaf kr dena, Fiza. Pr main abhi iss kabil nhi ki tumse nikah kr saku. Meri baat dhyan se samajhna… Main abhi kuch bhi nhi krta hun...kis muh se tumhara rishta mangunga...mera karobar bhi qarz mein jaate jaate bacha hai...Main tumhare mohabbat ki bahut izzat krta hun aur main bhi tumko pasand krta hun… pr filhaal k liye dost bane rehte hai…main apni dosti toot-te hue nhi dekh sakta…”

Fiza ko rone k bajaye bahut gussa aane laga. Usne voice note mein Tazeem pe apna gussa nikal diya.

“Tu bhi waisa hi nikla kamineyy.. Sab mere kirdar pe ungli utha rhe hai tum bhi utha lo.. isi wajah se shaadi nhi kr rhe na mujhse…”

Tazeem ne message bheja,

“Tum galat samajh rhi ho. Intezaar krna padega jab tak meri kamai achchi nhi ho jaati. Tum behtareen k layak ho. Hum dost rahenge na…”

Tazeem k lafzon ne Fiza ko aur gussa dila diya tha. Uske dimaag mein khud k liye aur Tazeem k liye bura bhala chal rha tha. Jo dost mushkil waqt kaam na aa sake, woh dost nhi.

“Mujhse baat mat krna ab saale...dikh mat jaana.. aajse tu mere liye kuch bhi nhi...bas ek maazi ka kadwa hissa…” Fiza ne gusse mein phirse voice note bheja aur apna phone zameen pr fek diya.

Bahar ghar walon ko todne phodne ki awaazein aayi. Fiza cheekh rahi thi. Unke dil sehem gye.

Rote rote usne kamre ka darwaza khola aur saamne apne Nano-Nani ko khada paaya.

Nani ne use kaske gale laga liya.

Rote rote Fiza ne kaha,

“Usne bhi mana kr diya Nani... Lanat hai aisi dosti pe... Wahi jaanta hai main bekasoor hun…” Fiza zor se rone lagi.

Har sawal ka jawab mil jaye zaroori toh nhi,

kuch jazbaat bas toot kr bikhar jaate hain.

Jis se umeed ho sabse zyada,

aksar wahi sabse pehle chhod jaate hain..
