Wo mera apna nahi tha (short story)

Adhouri wapsi

Ek mohabbat, ek dhoka aur das saal ka pachtawa

1. Aik anjaan mulaqat

Abrish aik khush mizaj aur masoom larki thi. Uski zindagi apne ghar walon, doston aur college ke gird ghoomti thi. Woh apne walidain ki laadli thi aur apne khandan se bohat mohabbat karti thi.

Har subah college jatay hue uska guzarna aik purani gali se hota tha. Wahin aik larka aksar khara nazar aata. Shuru mein Abrish ne us par khaas tawajjo nahi di, lekin kuch din baad usay mehsoos hua ke woh larka aksar usi waqt wahan mojood hota hai.

Us larkay ka naam Mustafa tha.

Aik din Mustafa ne khud Abrish se baat karne ki koshish ki. Pehle chand aam si baatein huin, phir salam dua ka silsila shuru ho gaya. Mustafa ki guftagu aur uska narm lehja Abrish ko acha lagne laga.

Dheere dheere dono aik doosray ko jaanne lagay.

1. Bharosay ka rishta

Waqt guzarta gaya aur Abrish Mustafa ki aadat banne lagi. Ab woh college se wapas aate hue us se milne ka intezar karti.

Mustafa bhi usay apni baaton mein uljhaye rakhta. Woh uski chhoti chhoti pareshaniyon ko suntay hue aisa zahir karta jaise Abrish ki khushi uske liye duniya ki sab se zaroori cheez ho.

Abrish ko lagta tha ke usay apni zindagi mein aik aisa shakhs mil gaya hai jo usay samajhta hai.

Usne Mustafa ko apne ghar ke halaat, apne walid, dada aur khandani mamlaat ke baare mein sab kuch batana shuru kar diya.

Kabhi woh apne ghar ki khushiyon ka zikr karti, kabhi apne walid ki aadaton ka aur kabhi apne dada ke purane qisson ka.

Mustafa khamoshi se sab sunta rehta.

Abrish ko kya maloom tha ke woh apni zindagi ki sab se qeemti amanat aik aise shakhs ke hawalay kar rahi hai jo uska bharosa jeet kar usi ke khilaaf istemal karna chahta tha.

1. Mohabbat ke peechay chhupa dushman

Mustafa ki zindagi ka aik aisa raaz tha jis se Abrish bilkul anjaan thi.

Woh Abrish ke khandan ka purana dushman tha. Uske baap dada aur Abrish ke buzurgon ke darmiyan kai saalon purani dushmani chali aa rahi thi.

Mustafa ne Abrish ke qareeb aane ka faisla mohabbat ke liye nahi, balkay apne khandani badlay ke liye kiya tha.

Uske liye Abrish sirf aik zariya thi.

Woh uski masoomiyat, uske bharosay aur uski mohabbat ko apne maqsad ke liye istemal kar raha tha.

Aur Abrish har guzartay din ke saath us par aur zyada bharosa karti ja rahi thi.

1. Woh faisla jisne sab kuch badal diya

Aik din Mustafa ne Abrish se kaha ke woh uske baghair apni zindagi ka tasawwur bhi nahi kar sakta.

Abrish ne bhi apne dil ki baat keh di. Woh Mustafa ko apni zindagi ka hissa bana chuki thi.

Mustafa ne usay apne saath ghar chhor kar jane ke liye razi kar liya. Usne Abrish ko yaqeen dilaya ke kuch waqt baad sab theek ho jayega aur woh dono apni zindagi naye sire se shuru karenge.

Abrish ne jazbaat mein aakar apne ghar walon ko bataye baghair Mustafa ke saath jane ka faisla kar liya.

Usay lagta tha ke woh apni mohabbat ke saath aik nayi duniya basane ja rahi hai.

Lekin usay nahi maloom tha ke uske peechay uski duniya hamesha ke liye ujarnay wali hai.

Mustafa ke ghar se door le jane ke baad Abrish ke khandan par aik bohat bara qehar toot para. Uske ghar walay qatal kar diye gaye.

Jab Abrish apne ghar se door thi, uske bachpan ki tamam yaadein aik hi lamhay mein us se cheen li gayi thin.

1. Haqeeqat ka saamna

Kuch arsay tak Mustafa ne Abrish ke saamne apni mohabbat ka natak jari rakha.

Lekin aik din Abrish ko kuch purane kagzaat aur Mustafa ki guftagu se aisi haqeeqat ka pata chala jisne uske hosh ura diye.

Mustafa uske ghar walon ka dushman tha.

Woh uske qareeb sirf is liye aaya tha taake uske khandan ko nuqsan pohancha sakay.

Abrish ke liye ye baat tasleem karna mushkil tha. Jis shakhs ko woh apni zindagi ka sab se bara sahara samajhti thi, wohi uski zindagi ki sab se bari tabahi ka sabab ban chuka tha.

Usne Mustafa se sawal kiya:

"Tumne mere saath aisa kyun kiya? Maine tumhara kya bigara tha?"

Mustafa ne koi aisa jawab nahi diya jo uske jurm ko chhota kar sakta.

Abrish ne wahan se jane ki zid ki. Woh apne ghar wapas jana chahti thi, lekin Mustafa ne usay jane nahi diya.

Ab uski mohabbat nafrat mein badal chuki thi aur uska bharosa hamesha ke liye toot gaya tha.

1. Das saal ki qaid

Das saal guzar gaye.

Abrish ke liye ye das saal kisi lambi raat se kam nahi thay. Woh har din apne guzray hue kal ko yaad karti. Usay apne walid ki awaaz, ghar ka sehan, dada ki baatein aur apne kamray ki khirki sab kuch yaad aata.

Kabhi woh sochti ke agar us din Mustafa par bharosa na kiya hota toh shayad uski zindagi kuch aur hoti.Usay sab se zyada takleef is baat ki thi ke usne apne ghar ke raaz aik aise shakhs ko bataye thay jo uske ghar ko hi barbaad karne aaya tha.

Das saal mein Abrish bohat badal chuki thi.

Woh pehle jaisi hansnay wali larki nahi rahi thi. Uski aankhon mein ab woh masoom khushi nahi thi jo kabhi uski pehchan hua karti thi.Lekin uske dil mein aik khwahish ab bhi zinda thi.

Woh aik baar apne ghar ko dekhna chahti thi.

1. Wapsi

Aakhir aik din Abrish ko apne purane ghar tak pohanchne ka mauqa mil gaya.

Safar bhar uske dil mein ajeeb si bechaini thi. Woh soch rahi thi ke pata nahi ghar kaisa hoga, kya wahan ab bhi wohi darakht hoga, kya darwaza ab bhi waisa hi nazar aayega?

Jab woh apne purane mohallay mein dakhil hui toh uske qadmon ki raftaar khud ba khud dheemi ho gayi.

Woh gali ab bhi waisi hi thi.

Wohi mor, wohi purani deewarein aur wohi raasta jahan se woh kabhi college jaya karti thi.

Kuch hi dair baad woh apne ghar ke samne khari thi.

Usne nazrein uthakar us imarat ko dekha.

Ghar ki deewaron ka rang badal chuka tha. Darwaza purana ho gaya tha. Sehan mein woh pehle wali ronak nahi thi.

Abrish kuch dair tak bilkul khamosh khari rahi.

Uski aankhon mein aansu bhar aaye.

Usay yaad aaya ke isi darwazay se kabhi uske walid uska intezar kiya karte thay. Isi sehan mein uske dada baith kar khandan ke qissay sunaya karte thay. Isi ghar mein kabhi har taraf awaazein, hansi aur zindagi hua karti thi.

Aaj wahan sirf khamoshi thi.

Usne dheere se apna haath darwazay par rakha.

"Abu... main wapas aa gayi hoon."

Uski awaaz laraz rahi thi.

Woh apne aap ko sambhal na saki aur darwazay ke paas hi baith gayi.

Usay apni har ghalti yaad aa rahi thi. Woh din jab usne Mustafa par bharosa kiya tha, woh lamhay jab usne apne ghar ke raaz usay bataye thay aur woh faisla jisne usay apne apnon se hamesha ke liye door kar diya tha.

Usne kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ke jis shakhs ko woh apni duniya samajh rahi hai, wohi uski duniya ujaar dega.

Aaj uske paas wapas aane ke liye ghar toh tha, magar us ghar mein uska intezar karne wala koi nahi tha.

Abrish ne aik baar phir apne purane ghar ki taraf dekha.

Woh ghar ab bhi wahin tha.

Magar us ghar ki ronak, uske apnay aur uska bachpan sab kuch waqt ke saath kahin kho chuka tha.Kabhi kabhi insaan apni zindagi ka aik ghalat faisla karta hai, aur phir us faislay ki saza poori zindagi uske saath chalti rehti hai.

Abrish ke liye bhi Wapsi ka safar khatam ho chuka tha, lekin uska pachtawa shayed kabhi khatam nahi hona tha
