shama ka vak​ta hai। guruba honevale aphataba ki sunahari kirane ra\-mgina shishi\-m ki ada़ se eka ag​reji vaja़ा para saje hue kamare me\-m jha\-mka rahi hai\-m jisase tamama kamara bukalumu\-n ho raha hai। ag​reji vaja ki khubasurata tasavire jo divaro\-m se lataka rahi hai, isa vak​ta ra\-mgina libasa pahanakara aura khubasurata maluma hoti hai। aina vas​te kamara me\-m eka khubasurata meja hai jisake idhara-udhara nar​ma makhamali gad​do\-m ki ra\-mgina kur​siyaॉ\-n bichi hui hai। iname\-m se eka para eka naujavana shakh​sa sara nica kiye hue baitha kucha soca raha hai। nihayata vajiha-o shakila adami hai jisa para a\-mg​reji tarasha ke kapada़ो\-m ne gaja़ba ka phabana paida kara diya hai। usake samane meja para eka kagaja hai jisa para vo bara-bara nigaha dalata hai\-m। usake bushare se jahira ho raha hai ki isa vak​ta usake kh​yalata use becaina kara rahe hai। ekaeka vo utha aura kamare se bahara nikalakara baramade me\-m tahalane laga jisame\-m khubasurata phulo\-m aura pat​tiyo\-m ke gamale sajakara dhare hue the। baramade se phira kamare me\-m aya kagaja ka tukada़ा utha liya aura eka badahavasi ke alama me\-m ba\-ngale ke ahate me\-m tahalane laga। shama ka vak​ta tha। mali phulo\-m ki k​yariyo\-m me\-m pani de raha tha। eka tarapha saisa ghoda़े ko tahala raha tha। tha\-mdi-tha\-mdi aura suhani hava cala rahi thi। asamana para shaphaka phuli hui thi magara vo apane khayalata me\-m aisa gar​ka tha ki usako ina dilas​piyo\-m ki mutalaka़ kha़bara na thi। haॉ\-n, usaki gar​dana khuda-ba-khuda hilati thi aura hatha kucha ishare kara rahe the। goya vo kisi se bate\-m kara raha hai। isi asana me\-m eka baisikila phataka ke an​dara dakhila hui aura eka naujavana kota-pataluna pahane, cash​ma lagaye, sigara pita, juta car\-mara karata utara pada़ा aura bola—guda ivar​niga mis​tara amaृtaraya!

amaृtaraya ne cau\-mkakara sara uthaya aura bole—oha, apa hai mis​tara dananatha aie tasharipha laie। apa aja jalase me\-m najara na aye?

dananatha—kaisa jalasa mujhe to isaki khabara bhi nahi\-m।

amaृtaraya-(hairata me\-m) ai apako khabara hi nahi\-m? aja agare ke lala dhanukhadharilala sahaba ne bada़े mar​ke ki taka़rira ki। mukha़lipha़ीna ke daॉ\-nta khat​te kara diye।

dananatha—bakhuda mujhe jara bhi khabara na thi var​na mai\-m ja़rura jalasa me\-m sharika hota। mai\-m to lala sahaba ki tariro\-m ke sunane ke sunane ka mush​taka hu\-n। meri badakis​mati thi ki aisa nadira mauka़ा hatha se nikala gaya। maja़muna k​ya tha?

amaृtaraya—majamuna sivaya isalahe muasharata ke aura k​ya hota। lala sahaba ne apani jin​dagi isi kama para vak​pha़ kara di hai\-m। aja aisa purajosha kha़dime kauma aura baasara shakh​sa़ isa sube me\-m nahi\-m। ye aura bata hai ki logo\-m ko unake usulo\-m se ikh​talapha ho magara unaki taka़riro\-m me\-m aisa jadu hota hai ki loga khuda-ba-khuda khi\-mcate cale ate hai\-m। mujhe lala sahaba ki takariro\-m ke sunane ka baraha phaikha hasila hua hai magara aja ki s​pica me\-m kucha aura hi bata thi। isa shakh​sa ki ja़bana me\-m jadu hai, jadu alapha़ाja vahi hote hai\-m jinako hama rojamar​ra ki guph​tagu me\-m is​temala karate hai, khayalata vahi hote hai jina para hama loga yaka ja baithakara ak​sara bahasa kiya karate hai। magara tar​je me\-m kucha isa ga़ja़ba ka asara hai, ki dino\-m ka lubha leta hai।

dananatha ko aisi nadira takarira ke na sunane ka sakh​ta aphasosa hua। bola—yara, mai\-m bada़ा badakis​mata hu\-n। apha़sosa, aba aisa mauka़ा hatha na ayega।  k​ya aba koi s​pica na hogi?

amaृtaraya—um​mida to nahi\-m k​yo\-mki lala sahaba aja hi lakhanau tasharipha़ le ja rahe hai\-m।

dananatha—kamala apha़sosa hua। agara apane use taka़rira ka koi khulasa kiya ho to mujhe de dijie, jara dekhakara tas​kina kara lu\-n।

amaृtaraya ne vahi kaga़ja़ ka tukada़ा jisako bara-bara padha़ rahe the, dananatha ke hatho\-m me\-m de diya aura bole—asanaye taka़rira me\-m jo his​se mujhe nihayata ac​che maluma hue unako naka़la kara liya। aisi ravani me\-m likha hai ki shayada bajuja mere aura koi padha़ bhi na sake। dekhie hamare rausa va muk​tidaya ne ka़ौma ki ga़pha़lata va beparavai ko k​ya bayana kiya hai—

hajarata ! saba kharabiyo\-m ki jada़ hamari laparavai hai। hamari halata bilakula nimajana marija ki-si hai jo dava hatha me\-m lekara dekhata hai magara mu\-nha taka nahi\-m le jata। haॉ\-n sahabo\-m, hama ऑ\-mkho\-m rakhate hai\-m magara an​dhe hai, hama kana rakhate hai\-m magara bahare hai\-m, hama ja़bana rakhate hai\-m magara gu\-nge hai\-m। aba vo jamana nahi\-m hai\-m ki hamako apani muasharata ke naka़ाisa naja़ra na ate ho\-m। hama tamama ac​chi bato\-m ko janate hai\-m aura manate hai\-m magara jisa taraha masaile ikhalaki para imana rakhakara bhi hama gumaraha hote hai\-m, khuda ke bajuda ke kayala hokara bhi mun​kira banate hai\-m, usi taraha isalahe tamad​duna ke masaila se it​taphaka rakhate hai\-m magara una para amala nahi\-m karate।

amaृtaraya ne bada़े purajosha me\-m ibarata padha़ी। jaba vo kha़ाmosha hue to dananatha ne kaha—beshaka khuba pha़ramaya hai, bilakula hamare has​be hala।

amaृtaraya—janabamana, mujhako sakh​ta aphasosa hai ki mai\-mna sari taka़rira k​yo\-m na naka़la kara li। ur​du jabana para aise hi vak​ta gus​sa ata hai। kasha ag​reji taka़rira hoti to subaha hote hi tamama roja़ाna akha़baro\-m me\-m shaya ho jati। nahi\-m to shayada kahi\-m khulasa ripor​ta chape to chape। (eka lamahe ki khamoshi ke bada) kaise gar​ma alaphaja me\-m taharika ki hai ki jaba se jalase se aya hu\-n, vahi sadaऍ\-m barabara kana me\-m gu\-nja rahi hai\-m। mai diyara dananatha, apa mere kh​ya़ाlata se vaka़िpha़ hai\-m। aja ki s​pica ne una kha़yalata ko amali surata akh​tiyara karane ki juraata ki hai। mai\-m apane ko ka़ौma para kur​bani kara du\-nga। aba taka mere kha़yalata mujha hi taka the, aba vaha jahira ho\-mge। aba taka mere hatha sus​ta the magara mai\-mne unase kama lene unase kama lene ka़sade musam​ma kiya hai। mai\-m bahuta baakh​tiyara shakh​sa nahi\-m hu\-n, meri jayadada bhi nahi\-m, magara mai\-m apane ko aura apani sari jatha ko kauma para kur​bana kara du\-nga। (apa hi apa) haॉ\-n, mai\-m to ja़rura nisara kara du\-nga (josha se) ai thakakara baithi hui ka़ौma le teri halata para rone valo\-m me\-m eka aura ija़ाpha़ा hua। aya isase tujhe kucha phayada hoga ya nahi\-m, isaka pha़ैsala vak​ta karega।

yaha kahakara amaृtaraya ja़mina ki tarapha dekhane lage। dananatha, jo unake bacapana ke sathi the, unake mijaja se khuba vakipha the ki jaba unako kisi bata ki dhuna savara ho jati hai, to usako bila pura kiye nahi\-m choda़te। cunace un​ho\-mna ne u\-nc\-nica sujhana shuru kiya—meharabane mana, yaha kh​yala to kijie ki apa kaisa khataranaka kama apane jim​me le rahe hai। apako abhi nahi\-m maluma ki jo ras​ta sapha़ najara a raha hai vaha kaॉ\-nto se bhara hua hai।

amaृtaraya---aba to hara ce bada। mai\-m kha़ूba janata hu\-n ki mujhe bada़ी-bada़ी dik​kato\-m ka samana karana hoga। magara nahi\-m maluma kucha ar​se se mere dila me\-m kahaॉ\-n se kuvata a gayi hai। mujhe aisa maluma hota hai ki mai\-m bada़े se bada़ा kama kara sakata hu\-n। aura usake a\-mjama taka pahu\-ncakara sur​kharui hasila kara sakata hu\-n।

dananatha—ji haॉ\-n, phauri ka hamesha yahi hala hota hai। aba jara kha़yalata se hatakara vaka़yata para aie। apa janate hai\-m ki ye shahara bitalata aura usatakh​vaॉ\-nparas​ti ka marakaja़ hai\-m। naye kha़yalata yahaॉ\-n haragija़ nash​vanuma nahi\-m pa sakate। alava bari apa bilakula tanaha hai\-m। jo javabadehiyaॉ\-n apa apane sara lete hai\-m, unase jahaॉ\-n taka mera kh​य़ाla hai, apake dush​mana j​य़ाda ho jaऍ\-mge aura shayada ahababa bhi kinarakashi kare\-m। apa akele k​ya bana le\-mge।

amaृtaraya ne dos​ta ki bato\-m ko sunakara sara uthaya aura bada़ी sa\-mjidagi se bole-dananatha, ye tumako k​ya ho gaya hai? mar​de kha़ुda, tuma kahate ho akele k​ya bana loga akele adamiyo\-m ne sal​tanate\-m pha़taha ki buniyade\-m dali hai\-m। akele adamiyo\-m ne tarikha़ ke saphahe palata diye hai\-m। gautama bud​dha k​ya tha। mahaja़ eka badiyagar​da pha़ka़ीra jisaka sare ja़mane me\-m koi yaro-madadagara na tha। magara usaki jin​dagi hi me\-m adha hin​dos​tana usaka murida ho cuka tha। apako kitana misale du\-n। ka़ौmo\-m ke nama tanaha adamiyo\-m se raushana hai\-m। apa janate hai ki apha़latuna eka bada़ा adami tha magara apame\-m kitane aise hai jo janate ho\-m ki vaha kisa mul​ka ka bashin​da hai?

dananatha ja़ीpha़hama adami the, samajha gaye ki isa vak​ta़ josha taja hai, nasheba-o-pha़raja sujhana pha़िjula hai। pasa un​ho\-mne pha़hamaisha ka naya dha\-mga akh​tiyara kiya bole—ac​cha mai\-mne mana liya ki akele logo\-m ne bada़े-bada़े kama kiye hai\-m aura apa bhi kauma ki bhalai kucha na kucha kara lege, magara isaka to kha़yala kijie ki apa una logo\-m ko kitana bada़ा sadama pahu\-ncayege\-m jinako apase koi tal​luka hai\-m। p​rema se bahuta jal​da apaki shadi honevali hai apa janate hai ki usake val​daina parale sire ke kat​tara hin​du hai\-m। jaba unako apake ag​reji vaja़ा-o-kata para etaraja hai to pharamaie jaba apa kaumi isalaha para baॉ\-ndhege to unaka k​ya hala hoga। ga़libana apako p​rema se hatha dhona pada़ेga।

yaha tira kari laga। do-tina minata taka amaृtaraya jamina ki tarapha takate rahe। bada isake un​ho\-mne sara uthaya—ऑ\-mkhe\-m sur​kha thi, ऑ\-msu namudara the, magara ka़ौmi phalaha ne naphasara para kabu pa liya tha। bole---hajarata, ka़ौma ki bhalai karana asana nahi\-m। go mai\-mne ina dik​kato\-m ka kha़yala pahale nahi\-m kiya tha tahama mera dila isa vak​ta aisa maja़buta hai ki ka़ौma ke lie hara eka musibata sahane ko taiyara hu\-n। p​rema se beshaka mujhako gayabana muhab​bata thi, usaka shaidai tha aura agara kai vo ja़manata ata ki mujhako usaka shauhara banane ka phakha hasila hota to mai\-m sabita karata ki muhab​bata isako kahate hai। magara aba p​rema ki surata meri nigaho\-m se ga़ाyaba hoti jati hai। yaha dekhie vaha photo hai jisaki mai\-m aba taka paras​tisha kiya karata tha। aja isase bhi kinarakasha hota hu\-n। yaha kahate-kahate un​ho\-mne tasavira jeba se nikala li aura usake pur​je-pur​je kara dale, ‘p​rema ko jaba maluma hoga ki amaृtaraya aba ka़ौma ka ashika ho gaya aura kha़l​ka ka pha़िdai, usake dila me\-m aba kisi na janina ki jagaha baki nahi\-m rahi to meri isa harakata muapha़ kara degi ?

dananatha—amaृtaraya, mujhako sakh​ta apha़sosa hai ki tumane usa naja़nina ki tasavira ki yaha gata ki jisako tuma, khuba janate ho ki tum​hari diladada hai\-m। p​rema ne ahada kara liya hai ki bajuja़ tum​hare kisi aura se shadi na karegi। aura agara tum​hara haphija़ा kama deta ho to soca tumane bhi isa k​ris​ma koi vada kiya tha ya nahi\-m। k​ya tumako nahi\-m maluma ki aba shadi ka jamana bahuta ka़riba a gaya hai? isa vak​ta़ tum​hari ye harakata usa masuma lada़ki ki k​ya halata kara degi

ina bato\-m ko sunakara amaृtaraya vakai kucha paja़mur​da ho gaye। haॉ\-n, barabara yahi kahate rahe ki p​rema isa kha़ta ko ja़rura muapha़ kara degi। in​hi\-m bato\-m me\-m apha़taba guruba ho gaya। dananatha ne apani baisikila sam​hali aura calate vak​ta़ bole—mis​tara raya, khuba soca lo, abhi se behatara hai ina paraga\-mda kha़yalata ko choda़ो। ao aja tumako dariya ki saira kara laye\-m। mai\-mne eka bajara le rakha hai। caॉ\-ndani rata me\-m bahuta lut​pha़ ayega।

amaृtaraya—isa vak​ta़ apa mujhe muapha़ kijie। kala mai\-m apase phira milu\-nga। isa guph​ta़gu ke bada to apane makana ki tarapha़ rahi hue aura amaृtaraya usi a\-ndhere me\-m behisa-o harakata khada़े rahe। vo nahi\-m maluma k​ya soca rahe the। jaba a\-mdhera j​yada huato dapha़atana vaha ja़mina para baitha gaye ora usatasavira ke parishana pur​je ikat​tha kara liye, unako apane sine se laga liya aura kucha socate hue apane kamare me\-m cale gaye।

babu amaृtaraya shahara ke muaja़िja rausa me\-m samajhe jate the। abai pesha vakalata tha। khuda bhi vakalama pasa kara cuke the aura go abhi vakalata joro para na thi magara khanadani ik​tidara aisa jama tha ki shahara ke bada़े se bada़े rausa bhi unake samane sare niyaja़ kha़ma karate the। bacapana hi se ag​re\-mja़ी kalijo\-m me\-m talima payi aura ag​re\-mji tahajiba aura tar​ja़े muasharata ke diladada the। jaba taka valida bujur​gavara jin​da the, pase adaba se ag​re\-mja़िyata se muhatarija़ rahate the। magara unake in​taka़ाla ke bada khula khele। sar​phe kasira se aina dariya ke kinare para eka napha़ीsa ba\-ngala tamira karaya tha aura usame\-m rahate the। imarata ke saba samana maujuda the। kisi cija़ ki kami na thi। bacapane ise il​ma ke diladada the aura mija़ाja bhi kucha isa ka़िs​ma ka vaka़े hua tha ki jisa cija़ ki dhuna savara ho jati basa usi ke ho rahate the। jisa jamane me\-m ba\-ngale ki dhuna savara thi, abai makanata kauda़िyo\-m ke mola pha़rokh​ta kara diye the। ilaka़े para bhi hatha sapha़ karane ka irada tha, magara ka़िs​mata ac​chi thi, bapa ka jama kiya hua kucha rupaya bai\-mka me nikala aya।

mis​tara amaृtaraya ko kitabo\-m se ul​pha़ta thi। mumakina na tha ki koi nayi tasanipha shaya ho aura unake kutubakhane me\-m na payi jaye। alava isake phunune latipha se bhi bebahara na the। gane se tabiyata ko khasa ragabata thi। vaha vakalata pasa kara cuke the magara aba taka shadi nahi\-m hui thi। un​ho\-mne thana liya tha ki tavak​te ki vakalata ja़ोro\-m para na ho jae, shadi na kare\-mge। isi shahara ke raise aja़ma lala badarip​rasada sahaba unako kai barasa se apani ikalauti lada़ki p​rema ke vas​te cune baithe the। isi khayala se ki amaृtaraya ko isa shadi ke karane me\-m koi etaraja na ho p​rema ki talima para bahuta lihaja rakha gaya tha। mu\-mshi sahaba ki mar​ji ke khilapha़ p​rema ki tasavira bhi amaृtaraya ke pasa bhijava di gayi thi aura vak​ta़n​-phavak​ta़na dono\-m me\-m kha़to-kitaba bhi hua karati thi k​yo\-mki p​rema a\-mg​reji talima pane se jara aja़ाd\-mija़ाja ho gayi thi। babu dananatha bacapana hi se amaृtaraya ke satha padha़ा karate the, aura dono\-m me\-m sac​ci muhab​bata ho gayi thi। koi aisi bata na thi, jo eka-dusare ke lie utha rakhe। dananatha ar​se se p​rema ke dila me\-m paras​tisha karate the। magara cu\-mki usako maluma tha ki batacita amaृtaraya se ho gayi hai aura dano\-m eka-dusare\-m ko p​yara karate hai। isalie khuda kabhi apane kha़yalata ko jahira nahi\-m kiya tha। usa mashuka ke phiraka me\-m jisake milane ki marakara bhi um​mida na ho usane apane it​minana ki ghada़िya\-n tal​kha kara rakhi thi\-m। saikada़ो\-m hi bara-usaki naph​sa़ाniyata ne ubhara tha ki tu koi cala calakara mu\-mshi badarip​rasada ko amaृtaraya se badaja़na kara de magara hara bara usane isa naph​saniyata ko dabane me\-m kamayabi hasila ki thi। vaha ala dar​je ka baikha़laka adami tha। vaha mara jana pasan​da karata bajaya isake ki amaृtaraya ki nis​bata koi ga़latabayani karake apana matalaba nikale। yaha bhi na tha ki vaha amaृtaraya se sac​ci hamadar​di va damasaja़ी ka bar​tava na karata ho। nahi\-m barabavasa isake vo hara mauke para amaृtaraya ka tashaph​phi va dilasa diya karata tha। avasara usi ki mar​pha़ta dono\-m shaidaiyo\-m me\-m tohapha bheje gaye the। khato-kitabo usaki mar​pha़ta hua karati hai। yaha mauke aise the ki agara dananatha cahata to bahuta jal​da cahanevalo\-m me nipha़ाka paida kara deta। magara ye usaki phitarata se baida tha।

aja bhi jaba amaृtaraya ne apane irade ja़ाhira kiye to dananatha ne bila kama-o-kas​ta dik​kate bayana kara di। uka dila kaisa uchalata tha jaba vo ye kha़yala karata ki aba amaृtaraya mere lie jagaha khali kara raha hai। magara ye usaki sharaphata thi ki usane amaृtaraya ka unake irade se baju rakhana caha tha। usane kaha tha ki agara tuma ripha़ाr​maro ke jumare me shamila hoge to p​rema ro-rakara jana de degi magara amaृtaraya ne eka na suni। unaka irada mus​taka़िla tha jisako koi taraga़ीba diga nahi\-m sakati thi। dananatha unake mija़ाja aura dhuna se khuba vakipha़ the। samajha gaye ki aba ye uda़te hai aura uda़kara rahege। cuna ce aba unako koi vajaha na maluma hui ki mai\-m asala vakaya bayana karake k​yo\-m na p​yari p​rema ka shauhara banane ki koshisha karu\-n। yahaॉ\-n se ravana hote hi va apane ghara para aye aura kota-pataluna utara sidha-sade kapada़े pahana, lala badarip​rasada sahaba ke daulatakhane ki tarapha़ ravana hue। isa vak​ta़ unake dila ka jo kaiphiyata ho rahi thi usaka bayana karana mushakila hai। kabhi to khayala ata ki kahi\-m meri yaha harakata galatapha़hami ka baisa na ho jae loga mujhako hasida va badakh​vaha samajhene lage। phira kh​yala ata kahi\-m amaृtaraya apana iradara palata de\-m aura k​ya taj​juba hai ki aisa ho jaye to phira mere lie duba marane ki ja hogi। magara ina khayalata ke mukabile me\-m jaba p​rema ki p​yari-p​yari surata naja़ro ke samane a gayi to ye tamama auhama rapha़ा ho gaye aura dama-ke-dama me\-m vaha lala badarip​rasada ke makana para baithe bate\-m karate dikhayi diye।

dusara baab

hasada buri bala hai

lala badarip​rasada sahaba amaृtaraya ke valida marahuma ke dos​to\-m me\-m the aura khan​di ik​tidara, tamav​vula aura ejaja ke lihaja se agara una para pha़ौkiyata na rakhate the to hetha bhi na the। un​ho\-mne apane dos​ta marahuma ki jin​dagi hi me\-m amaृtaraya ko apani beti ke lie mun​takha़ba kara liya tha agara vo do barasa bhi jin​da rahate to bete ka sehara dekha lete। magara jin​dagi ne vapha na ki, cala base। haॉ\-n, dame mar​ga unaki akhiri nasihata ye thi ki beta, mai\-mne tum​hare vas​te bivi tajavija़ ki hai, usase ja़rura shadi karana। amaृtaraya ne bhi isaka pak​ka vada kiya tha magara isa vakaye ko aja paॉ\-nca barasa bita cuke the। isa bica me\-m un​ho\-mne vakalata bhi pasa kara li thi aura ac​che khase a\-mg​reja bana baithe the। isi tabadile tar​je muasharata ne pab​lika ki naja़ro\-m me\-m unaka vikara kama kara diya tha। bara ak​sa isake lala badarip​rasada pak​ke hin​du the, sala bhara baraho\-m masa unake yahaॉ\-n bhagavata ki katha hua karati thi, koi dina aisa na jata ki bha\-mdare me sau-pacasa sadhuo\-m ka jevanara na banata ho। ina pha़y​yajiyo\-m ne unako sare shahara me\-m haradila-aja़ीja bana diya tha। hara roja alas​sabaha vo paidala ga\-mga ji ke s​nana ko jaya karate aura ras​te me\-m jitane adami unaki bujur​gana surata dekhate, sare niyaja़ kha़ma karate aura apasa me\-m kanaphus​ki karate vak​ta़ dua karate ki yaha garibo\-m ka das​tagira yu\-n hi sarasab​ja़ rahe।

akha़िra holi ka dina aya। shahara me\-m caro\-m tarapha़ kabira aura holi ki avaja़े\-m ane lagi\-m। cautarapha़ा abira ora gulala uda़ne lage। aja ka dina becari p​rema ke lie sakh​ta aja़maisha ka tha। k​yo\-mki saberehi se karabataman​do\-m ke yahaॉ\-n se ja़nani  savarisayaॉ\-n ana shuru hui aura usake tuana o karahana puratakal​lupha kapada़े pahana kara mehamano\-m ki ja़िyapha़ta karana aura unake satha holi khelani pada़ी। magara haya, usake cehare se aja vo hasarata barasa rahi thi jo isase pahale kabhi naja़ra na ayi thi। raha-rahakara usake kaleje me\-m kasaka paida hoti, raha-rahakara pha़r​te\-m ij​taraba se dila me\-m dar​da uthata magara becari bila ja़bana se upha़ kiye saba kucha saha rahi thi। roja़ akele me\-m roya karati thi\-m। jisase kucha tasakina ho jaya karati thi। aja mare shar​ma ko rove k​yo\-mkara। sabase bada़ी dik​kata ye thi ki roja़ ba roja़ pur​na baithakara tashaph​pha़ीameja़ bate\-m kara ke usaka dila bahalaya karati। aja vo bhi apani ghara t​yohara mana rahi thi।

pur​na ka makana pada़ोsa me\-m vaka़े tha। usake  shauhara basan​takumara eka nihayata halima-ul\-mija़ाja magara shauka़ीna va muhab​batapija़ीra tabiyata ke naujavana the। hara bata me\-m usi ki bata para amala karate। usako thoda़ा-sa padha़ाya bhi tha। abhi shadi hue do barasa bhi na bitane paye the aura j​yu\-n-j​yu\-n dina guja़rate the dono\-m ki muhab​bata aura taja़ा hoti jati thi। pur​na bhi apani shauhara ki ashika़े ja़ाra thi। apani bholi-bholi bate\-m aura apani dilarubayana adao\-m se unaka ga़ma ga़lata kiya karati। jaba kabhi vaha daure para cale jate to vo rata bhara ja़mina para pada़ी karavate\-m badalati aura roti। pa\-mditaji tisa rupaye se j​yada mushahiredara na the magara pur​na isa para ka़ाne thi aura apane ko nihayata khushakis​mata aura kha़yala karati thi। pa\-mditaji tahasile ja़ra ke lie bein​taha koshishe\-m karate, sir​pha isalie ki pur​na ko ac​cha se ac​che kapada़े pahanaye\-m aura ac​che-ac​che gahano\-m se aras​ta kare\-m। pur​na harisa na thi। jaba pa\-mditaji usako koi tohapha़ा dete to jame\-m phuli na samati magara kabhi usane kh​vahisho\-m ko pa\-mditaji se ja़ाhira nahi\-m kiya tha।

haka़ to ye hai ki sac​ci muhab​bata ke mukabile me\-m pahanane-odha़ne ka shauka kucha yo\-m hi sa raha gaya tha। holi ka dina sa a gaya। aja ke dina ka k​ya puchana। jisane sala bhara cithada़ो\-m hi para basara kiya ho vo aja़-kar​ja़ dama dhu\-ndha़kara lata hai aura khushiyaॉ\-n manata hai। aja loga la\-ngoti me\-m phaga khelate hai। aja ke dina ra\-mja karana gunaha hai। pa\-mdita basan​takumara ki shadi ke bada yaha dusari holi thi। pahali holi me\-m becare tiharadas​ti ki vaja़hase bivi ki kucha khatira na kara sake the। magara isa holi ke lie un​ho\-mne apani haisiyata ke muaphika bada़ी-bada़ी taiyariya\-n ki hai। sau-dedha़ sau rupaye jo tanakh​vaha ke alava pasina baha-bahakara vasula kiye the unase apani p​yari pur​na ke lie eka khubasurata ka\-mgana banavaya tha। nihayata napha़ीsa aura khushara\-mga sada़िya\-n mola laye the। isake alava can​da dos​to\-m ki davata bhi ki thi aura unake vas​te kai kis​ma ke murab​be, acara, lauja़िyata vaga़ैraha muhaiya kiye the। pur​na aja mare khushi ke jame me\-m phuli na samati thi। usaki naja़ro\-m me\-m aja apane se j​yada khubasurata duniya me\-m koi aurata nahi\-m thi। vo bara-bara shauhara ki tarapha p​yara bhari nigaho\-m se dekhati aura pa\-mditaji bhi usake si\-mgara aura phabana para aja aise shaida ho rahe the ki bara-bara ghara me\-m ate aura usako gale se lagate।

koi dasa baje ho\-mge ki pa\-mditaji ghara me\-m aye pur​na ko bulakara mus​karate hue bole-p​yari, aja to ji cahata hai tumako ऑ\-mkho\-m me bitha lu\-n।

pur​na ne ahis​ta se eka thoka dekara aura p​yara ki nigaho\-m se dekhakara kaha—vaha dekho mai\-m to pahale se hi baithi hu\-n।

          bhavaja—kucha nahi\-m, tuma to jo kucha kahati ho goya mu\-mha se phula jhada़ti ho। tum​hari jabana me\-m sha\-mkara ghuli hui hai। duniya me\-m jitane hai\-m unaki naka para gus​sa rahata hai aura tuma bada़ी sita ho।

          p​rema ne to nihayata lajajata se ye alaphaja kahe magara choti sarakara ‘chud​de rakhakara’ para baraa\-mgekh​ta ho gayi। camakakara boli—haॉ\-n rani, jo kucha mai\-m kahati hu\-n vo chud​de rakhati hu\-n। mujhe nihayata samane jhutha bolane se mithai milati hai na? tum​hare samane jhutha bolu\-mgi to tuma sone ke takh​ta para bitha dogi। magara mai\-m eka jhuthi hu\-n, sara jamana to nahi\-m jhutha hai। aja sare muhal​le me\-m ghara-gharayahi car​ca ho raha hai। bahuta to padha़ी-likhi ho, bhala tum​hi\-m soco eka tisa barasa ke sa\-mde maradue ka pur​na se k​ya kama hai। mana ki vo usaki madada karate hai। magara ye to duniya hai। jaba eka para a pada़ti hai to dusara usake ada़े ata hai magara sharipha adami isa taraha dusaro\-m ko bahakaya nahi\-m karate। aura usa chokari ko k​ya bahakayega koi, vo to apa hi sata ghata ka pani piye hai। maine jisa dina usaki tasavira dekhi thi usi dina tada़ gayi thi ki eka hi bisa ki gatha hai। abhi tina dina bhi dul​he ko mare hue nahi\-m bite ki tada़ gayi thi ki eka hi bisa kiga\-mtha hai। abhi tina dina bhi dul​he ko mare hue nahi\-m bite ki sabako jhamakada़ा dikhane lagi goya dul​ha k​ya mara eka bala dura hui। kalajaba usake kab​ja kadama yaha\-m aye to mai\-m jara bala gutha rahi thi nahi\-m to dayodhi ke bhitara to kadama dharane hi na deti, cudaila nahi\-m to। yaha\-m akara tum​hari saheli banati hai, isi ne amutaraya ko apana jobana dikha dikha kara apana liya hai। kala kaisa lacaka lacakakara thumaka thumakakara calati thi। dekha dekha ji jalati hai, harajai nahi\-m to। khabaradara jo aba kabhi tumane usa cudaila ko yaha\-m bithaya। mai\-m usaki surata nahi\-m dekhana cahati।

          ja़bana vaha bala hai ki jhutha bata ka bhi yakina dila deti hai\-m। bahu sahaba ne to jo kucha pharamaya har​pha bahar​pha sahi tha, bhala usaka asara k​yo\-m na hota। pahale to p​rema ne unaki bate\-m ko lago va shararata ame\-mja kh​yala kiya magara akh​rira kh​yala ne palata khaya। bhavaja ki bato\-m me\-mras​ti ki jhalaka payi। yakila a gaya। tahama vo aisi ochi nahi\-m thi ki usi vak​ta amaृtaraya aurapur​na ko kosane lagati। haॉ, vo sine para hatha dhare yahaॉ\-n se uthakara cali gayi aura choti sarakara bhi kharama kharama apane kamare me\-m tasharipha layi। aine me\-mrukhe anavara ka mulahija kiya aura apa hi apa boli—loga kahate hai। ki mujhase khubasurata hai, abave khubasurati kaha\-m gayira?

          gulajarilala—hamako ye koshisha karani cahie ki agara p​reside\-mta sahaba babu amaृtaraya ki taraphadari kare\-m to unake muapha़िka phaisala na ho। un​hone\-m a\-mg​rejo\-m se khuba ir​tibata paida kara rak​khi hai। k​ya rayo\-m ki tadada hamari tarapha jiyada na hogi?

          kamalap​rasada—isame\-m koi shaka bhi hai, yaha dekhie mem​baro\-m ki pheharis​ta kula sat​taisa hajarata hai, uname\-m sata asahaya yahi\-m raunaka apharoja hai।galibana dasa baraha vota aura hasila kara lena kucha mush​kila na hoga।

          jham​manalala—hamako itane hi parasaba nahi\-m karana cahie। ina majamina ka dadashikana javaba dena bhi jaruri hai। mai\-mne motabara khabara suni hai। ki lala dhanukhadhari sahaba phira tasharipha la rahe hai। hamako koshisha karani cahie ki pab​lika haॉla me\-m takarira karane ka mauka unako na mile।

          yaha\-m se hajarata baithe hue ye cemigoiya\-m kara rahe the ki yakayaka eka adami ne a\-mdara akara kaha—babu amaृtaraya tasharipha laye hai।

          amaृtaraya ka nama sunate hi kariba kariba ku         la hajarata ke ceharo\-m para havaiyaॉ\-n udane lagi। khususana mu\-mshi gulajarilala aura babu dananatha ke cehare ka ra\-mga phaka ho gaya। bagale jhakane lage, agara koi jagaha chupane ki hoti to vo dono jarura chupa jate। dananatha samajhe ki hamako bevapha kh​yala karege। vo abhi taka dila se amaृtaraya ke hamadar​da aura khairakhaha the go apana matalaba nikalane ke lie mu\-mshi badarip​rasada se rab​ta jab​ta badhana shuru kara diya tha।

          eka lam​he me\-m babu amaृtaraya kota pataluna pahale,sola haita lagaye, juta caramarate hue a\-mdara dakhila hue। unako dekhate hi bajuja mushi badarip​rasada sahaba ke aura saba hajarata tajimana utha khada़े hue। amaृtaraya ne jate hi bila taam​mula aleka saleka ke bada yu guph​tagu karana shuru ki ki mai\-m apa sahaba ki khidamata me\-m isalie hajira hua hu\-m ki eka kaumi il​tija pesha karu\-m। apa logo\-m pararoshana hai ki isa shahara me\-m abhi taka koiaisa panaha ka mukana nahi\-m hai। jaha\-m lavarisa aurato\-m kiparavarisha va paradakh​ta ka i\-mtajama ho sake। aisi aurato\-m ko sadha़ko\-m para phatehalo\-m idhara udhara mare mare phirate dekhana vakai, nihayata ibaratanaka va shar​manaka hai। isase hamari  tahajiba para nihayata badanuma dhab​ba hai। isa sube ke bada़े-bada़े shaharo\-m me\-m kaumi mukhaiyaro\-m ne isa kaumi jarurata ko pura kiya hai। un​hi\-m ki dekha-dekhi maine bhi yaha koshisha karani cahi। ki agara mumakina hoto isa shahara para se dhab​ba mita du। magara ye mohatabish​shana kama aisa nahi\-m hai\-m ki mujhase hecamiraja va hecama\-mda se a\-mjama para sake। tak​vate ki apa hajarata meri madada na pharamaye\-m। isi garaja se maine eka ca\-mda kha\-mlahai। mujhe um​mide kamila hai kiaise mauke para jarura apaki phay​yaji apana jauhara dikhayegi। mai bahuta jal​da p​rog​rama shaya karanevalahu\-m jisame\-m eka khairatakhane ke i\-mtajama va i\-msarama ke mutal​lika tajavika pesha ki jayegi aura una para hadiyane kauma ki raye madau ki jayagi।

          ye kahate kahate babu amaृtaraya ne jhatapata jeba se pheharis​ta nikali aura bina kisi ko apasa me\-m najarabajiya\-m ya saragoshiya\-m karane ki mohalata diye hue usako mu\-mshi gulajarilala sahaba ke samane pesha kara diya। aba mu\-mshi ji sakh​ta ajaba mubatila hai। eka hab​ba dene ki niyata nahi\-m hai। magara yaha khaupha hai ki kahi\-m aura hajarata kucha phay​yaji dikhaye\-m to mai\-m khamakhaha nak​ku banu\-m। alava isake bapa mis​tara amaृtaraya ke sac​ce hamadar​da me\-m the aura unake isalaha ke mashagalata se badi dilacas​pi jatate the। un​hone eka minata takataam​mula kiya, caha ki idhara udhara se kucha ishare kinaye pa jaya magara amaृtaraya pahale se hoshiyara the, vo unake samane nigaha rokakara khada़े ho gaye aura mus​karakara bole—socie nahi\-m, mujhe apase bahuta kucha um​mida hai।

          akhira mu\-mshi gulajarilala ne koi maphara na dekhakara jhepate hue apane nama ke makabila pa\-mca sau rupaye ki rakama taharira pharamayi। amaृtaraya ne unaka shuk​riya ada kiya aura gau aura hajarata kucha kanaphusaki karane lage the magara isaka kucha kh​yala na karake un​hone pheharis​ta babu dananatha ke samane rakha di।

          hama pahale kaha cuke hai ki babu dananatha amaृtaraya ke makasida se it​taphaka rakhate the। magara pahale jaba un​hone ca\-mde ki pheharis​ta dekhi to bada़े pasopeshame\-m the ki k​ya karu\-m, agara kucha deta hu\-m to shayada mu\-mshi badarip​rasada bura mana jaya। nahi\-m deta, to amutaraya ke naraja ho jane ka khaupha hai। isi ha\-msa baisa me\-m the ki babu gulajarilala ki mubaradirata ne unako turaata dilayi। phaurana apane nama ke makabila eka hajara ki rakama likhi। amaृtaraya ko unase itani um​mida na thi। bada़े gar​majoshi se unaka shukiya ada kiya। aba ye tashavisha hui ki pheharis​ta kisake samane pesha ki jaya। agara mu\-mshi badarip​rasada ki khidamata me\-mpesha karu\-m to shayada vo kucha na de aura unaka bukh​la dusare asahaba ko bhi mutasira karega। agara kisi dusare sahaba ko dikhata hu\-m to shayada mu\-nshi sahaba bura mane\-m ki meri tauhina ki। eka lamaha vaha isi soca me\-m rahe magara bala ke hajirajavaba adami the। dimaga ne phaurana phaisala kara liya। un​ho\-mne pheharis​ta li, adaba se mu\-mshi badarip​rasada ki khidamata me\-mpesha karake kaha—mujhe apase khasa eanata ki jarurata hai। na sir​pha ki apa mere bujur​gavara hai  bal​ki tajabija hai ki ye imarata name nami se tamira karayi jave। mai\-mne kamish​nara sahaba ko buniyadi pat​thara rakhane para rajama\-mdakara liya hai।

          mu\-mshi badarip​rasada jahaॉ\-ndida adami the, magara usa vak​ta gac​ca kha gaye। dekha ki do mamuli vakilo\-m ne eka eka hajara rupaye diye hai aura alava isake kamish​narasahaba bhi jalase me\-m tasharipha lavege। imarata mere hi nama se tamira hogi aura usako tarupha me lane akh​tiyara bhi mujhako hoga। yahi socate socate apane name nami ke rubaru do hajara ki khasi rakama taharira pharamayi। phira k​ya tha, tilis​ma tuta gaya। kula hajirina ne apani haisiyato\-m ke muaphika madadaki। eka dasa minata me\-m koi solaha sat​raha hajara rupaye hatha a gaye, mis​tara amaृtaraya ko apani hikamateamali se kamayabi ki um​mida to jarura thi magara isa hada taka nahi\-m। vo mare khushi ke uchale jate the। isa gaira mutavak​ko kamayabi se cehara ku\-mdana ki taraha damaka raha tha ca\-mde ki phaharis​ta jeba me\-m dakhila karake bole—apa asahaba ne mere upara bada ehasana kiya aura mere upara k​ya shahara ki bekasa dukhiya bevao\-m para। mujhe um​mida hai ki jaba apa logo\-m ne mali eanata pharamayi to kala kameti me\-m meri darakhas​ta pesha hogi usa para bhi najare inayata majabula ke nahi\-m de sakati। maine bhi unase ar​ja kiki kala kameti ke rubaru meri darakhas​ta pesha hogi, jo phaisala kameti karegi usake kabula karane me\-m mujhe koi uj​ra na hoga। mai unaki kimata ada karane kotaiyara hu\-m। magara mujhe kamila tavak​ko hai ki jaba apane meri imadada dariyadili se ki hai to isa jamina ko hasila karane me\-m bhi koshisha pharamavege।

          ye kahakara babu amaृtaraya yahaॉ\-n setasharipha le gaye। magara aphasosa un​he\-m k​ya maluma tha ki isa par​de ki ada़ se jo mu\-mshi badarip​rasada ki kur​si ke piche pada hua tha aurajaha\-m se bala khane para jane ka ras​ta tha, koi baitha hua eka eka bata ko suna raha hai। babu sahaba ko ate p​rema ne dekha liya tha।

          becari pur​na pa\-mdaina va caubaina bagairahuma ke cale jane ke bada rone lagi। vo socati thi ki haya, aba mai aisi manahusa samajhi jati hu\-n ki kisi ke satha baitha nahi\-m sakati। aba logo\-m ko meri surata se napharata hai। abhi nahi\-m maluma k​ya-k​ya bhogana bhaga me\-m bada hai। ya narayana, tu hi mujha dukhiya ka beda़ा para laga। meri shamata ayi thi ki khamakhaha sara me\-m tale dalava liya। yahi bala kamabakh​ta na hote to kahe ko aja itana phajita hota। in​hi\-m bato ka kh​yala karate karate jaba yaha jumala yada a gaya ki ‘babu amaृtaraya ka roja roja ana thika nahi\-m’ to usane sara para hatha marakara kaha—

          vo ate hai to mai kaise mana karu\-n। mai\-m to unaka diya khati hu\-n। sivaya unake aba meri khabara lenevala aura kauna hai। unase kaise kaha du\-n ki tuma mata ao। aura phira unake ane me har​ja hi k​ya hai।becare sidhe-sade sharipha adami hai। kucha shohade nahi\-m, avara nahi\-m, phira unake ane me\-m k​ya har​ja hai। nahi\-m-nahi\-m, mujhase mana na kiya jayega। aba to mujha para musibata a hipada़ी hai। aba jisake ji me\-m joave kahe। nahi\-m maluma kala mujhe k​ya ho gaya। k​ya bha\-mga kha gayi thi ki p​rema ke yahaॉ\-n jakara aja itani phajita karavayi। aba bhulakara bhi udhara ka rukha na karu\-ngi। magara haya, p​yari p​rema ke dekhe bagaira k​yo\-mkara raha jayaga। mai najau\-mgi to vo apane dila me\-m k​ya samajhegi। samajhegi k​ya, unaki maॉ\-n ne unako pahale se hi mana kara diya hoga।

          ina kh​yalo\-m se phurasata pakara usane has​be mamula ga\-mgaji ka kas​da kiya। taba se pa\-mditaji ka i\-mtakala hua tha ki vo roja bila naga ga\-mga nahane jaya karati thi। magara mu\-nha a\-ndhere jati aurasuraja nikalate nikalate lauta ati। aja inabina bulaye mehamano ki vajaha sedera ho gayi। thoda़ी dura cali thi ki ras​te me\-m sethani ji ki bahu se mulakata ho gayi। usaka nama ramakali tha। becari do barasa se ra\-ndapa bhoga rahi thi। usaka sina bhi mush​kila se solaha sat​raha barasa hoga।cehara mohara bhi bura na tha। khado-khala nihayata dilaphareba। agara pur​na ama ki taraha tur​da thi to usaka cehara joshe javani se gulabi ho raha tha। bala me\-mtela na tha। na ऑ\-mkho me\-m kajala। na maॉ\-nga me\-mse\-mdura। na daॉ\-nto para mis​si। tahama usaki ऑ\-mkho me\-m vo shokhi thi, cala me\-m vo lacaka aura ho\-mtho paravo tabas​suma jinase ina banavati araisho\-m ki jarurata baki na rahi thi। vo matakati, idhara-udhara takati, mus​karati calo ja rahithi ki pur​na ko dekhate hi thithaka gayi aura bada़े a\-mdaja se ha\-nsakara boli—ao bahana, ao। tuma aisa calati ho janu\-n batashe para paira dhara rahi ho।

          pur​na ko ye jumala nagavara maluma hua। magara usane bada़ी nar​mi se javaba diya—k​ya karu\-n bahana, mujhase to aurateja nahi\-m cala jata।

          ramakali—sunati hu\-n, kala hamari dayana kai cudailo\-m ke satha tumako jalane gayi thi। mujhe satane se abhi taka ji nahi\-m bhara। k​ya kahu\-n bahana। ye saba aisa dukha deti hai ki ji cahata hai jahara kha lu\-n। aura agara yahi hala raha to eka na eka dinayahi hona hai। nahi\-m maluma ish​vara ka k​ya bigada़ा tha ki eka dina bhi ji\-mdagi ka sukha na bhogane payi। bhala tuma to apane pati ke satha do barasa rahi bhi। maine to usaka mu\-nha bhi nahi\-m dekha। jaba tamama aurato ko banava-si\-mgara kiye ha\-nsi-khushi calate-phirate dekhati hu\-n to chati para sapa\-n lotane lagata hai। vidhava k​ya ho gayi, ghara bhara ki lauda़ी bana di gayi। jo kama koi na kare vo mai karu\-n, usa para roja uthate juti baithate lata। kajala mata lagao, mis​si mata lagao, bala mata gu\-nthao, ra\-mgina sada़िya\-n mata pahano, pana mata khao। eka roja eka gulabi sada़ी pahana li thi to vaha cudaila marane uthi thi। ji me to aya ki sara ke bala noca lu\-n। magara jahara ka ghu\-nta pi ke raha gayi aura vo to vo usaki betiyaॉ\-n aura dusari bahuऍ meri surata se napharata rakhati hai। subaha ko koi mera mu\-nha nahi\-m dekhata। abhi pada़ोsa hi me\-m ekashadi hui thi। saba ki saba gahane me\-m lada kara gati bajati gai। eka mai hi abhagina ghara me\-m pada़ी roti rahi। bhala bahana, aba kaha\-n taka koi jab​ta kare। akhira hama bhi to adami hai। hamari bhi to javani hai। dusaro\-m ki khushi cahalapahala dekha khamakhaha dila me hau\-msale hote hai। jaba bhukha lagati hai aura khana nahi\-m milata to cori karani pada़tihai।

          ye kahakara ramakali ne pur​na ka hatha apanehatha me\-m le liya aura mus​karakara ahis​ta-ahis​ta eka gita gunagunane lagi। pur​na ko ye beta kal​luphiya\-m sakh​ta nagavara maluma hoti thi\-m magara majabura thi।,

          ras​te me\-m hajaro\-m hi adami mile। sabaki najare\-m ina dono\-m aurato\-m ki tarapha phirati thi। pha़िke cus​ta kiye jate the। magara pur​na sara ko upara uthati hina thi। haॉ\-n ramakali alabat​ta mus​kara-mus​karakara mashukana a\-mdaja se idhara udhara dekhati thi। eka adha barajas​ta javaba bhi dedeti। pur​na jaba sada़ka para mar​do ko khada़े dekhati to bacake katarakara nikala jati magara ramakali ko unake bica me\-m ghusakara nikalane ki ji\-mda thi। nahi\-m maluma k​yu\-n usaki cadara sara se bara-bara dhalaka jati jisako vo eka a\-mdaja se odha़ti thi। isi taraha dariya kinare pahu\-nci। yahaॉ\-n hajaro\-m mar​daaura aurate\-m aura bac​ce naha rahe the।

          ramakali ko dekhate hi eka pa\-mdita ne kaha—idhara sethani ji, idhara।

          pa\-mda—(ghurakara)yaha kauna hai?

          ramakali—(ऑ\-mkhe nacakara)koi ho\-mgi। k​ya tuma kaji ho k​ya?

          pa\-mda—jara nama suna ke kana khusa kara le\-m।

          ramakali—ye meri sakhi hai। inaka nama pur​na hai।

          pa\-mda—(ha\-nsakara) aha ha, k​ya ac​cha nama hai। hai bhi to purana ca\-md​rama ki taraha। ac​cha joda़ा hai।

          pur​na becari jhe\-mpi। ye majaka usako nihayata nagavara maluma hua। magara ramakali ne apane sara ki lata eka hatha se pakada़ auradusare hatha se chitakakara kaha—khabaradara, unase dil​lagi mata karana।ye babu amaृtaraya se pujavati hai।

          pa\-mda—o ho ho, khuba ghara taka hai। hai bhi to ca\-md​rama ki taraha। babu amaृtaraya bhi bada़े rasiya hai, kabhu\-n-kabhu\-n yahaॉ\-n cale ate hai। vo dekho jo naya ghata bana rahahai vo babu sahaba banava rahe hai। phira aisi manohara surato\-m ka dashana hamako kaise milega।

          pur​na dila me\-m sakh​ta pashemana thi ki kahe ko isake satha ayi, aba taka to naha-dho ke ghara pahu\-nci hoti। ramakali se boli—bahana, nahana ho to nahao। mujhako dera hoti hai। agara tuma abhi dera me\-m jao to mai akeli jae।

          pa\-mda—nahi\-m-nahi\-m rani, hama garibo\-m para itani khapa(khapha) mata hoo। jao sethani ji inako nahala lao। sunata hu\-n aja kacahari ba\-mda hai। babu sahaba ghara ho\-mge।

          pur​na ne cadara utarakara dhara di aura sada़ी lekara nahane ke lie utarana cahati thi ki yakayaka saba pa\-mde utha-uthakara khada़े hone lage। aura eka lamahe me babu amaृtaraya eka sada kurata pahane, sadi topi sara pararakhe, cash​ma lagaye, hatha me\-m paimaisha ka phita liye, ca\-mda thekedaro\-m ke satha idhara ate dikhayi diye। unako dekhate hi pur​na ne eka la\-mbi ghu\-nghata nikala li। usane caha ki nice ke jine para utara jau\-n। magara shar​mo-haya ne usake pairo\-m ko vahi\-m baॉ\-ndha diya। babu sahaba ko ina jino\-m ki cauda़ाi-la\-mbai napana thi, cuna\-mce vaha pur​na se do kadama ke phasale para khada़े hokara napavane lage aura kagaja pesi\-mla para kucha likhane lage। likhate-likhate ageko kadama jo badha़ाya to paira jine ke nice ja pada़ा aura kariba thaki vo au\-mdhe mu\-nha gire\-m aura usi vak​ta isa kimati ji\-mdagi kakhatama ho jaya ki pur​na ne jhapatakara unako sam​hala liya। babusahaba ne cau\-mkakara dekha to dahina hatha eka naja़nina ke hatha me\-m hai। jaba taka pur​na apana ghugha\-nta badha़ाye vo usako pahacana gaye aurabole—akh​vaha, ‘tuma hopur​na। tumane meri jana baca li।

          pur​na ne usaka kucha javaba na diya, bal​ki sara nica kiye hue jine se utara gayi। jaba taka babu sahaba paimaisha karavate rahe vo ga\-mga ki tarapha rukha kiye khada़ी rahi। jaba vo calo gaye to ramakali mus​karati hui ayi aura boli—bahana, aja to tumane babu sahaba ko girate-girate baca liya। aja se to vo aura bhi tum​hare pairo para sara rakhe\-mge।

          pur​na—(kada़ी nigaho\-m se dekhakara) ramakali, aisi bate\-m na karo\-m। mujhe aisi pha़िjula dil​lagi bhali nahi\-m maluma hoti। adami adami ke kama ata hai। agara maine\-m unako baca liya to isame\-m k​ya anokhi bata ho gayi।

          ramakali—jaba taka idhara-udhara ji bahale ac​cha hai। ghara para sivaya jalate a\-mgaro ke aura k​ya rak​kha hai।

          kucha dera me\-m dono\-m sakhiyaॉ\-n yahaॉ\-n se ravana hui to ramakali nekaha—k​yu\-n bahana, puja karane calogi?

          pur​na—nahi\-m sakhi, mujhe bahuta dera ho jayagi aura na mai kabhi ma\-mdiro\-m me\-m puja karane gayi hu\-n।

          ramakali—aja tumako calana pada़ेga, jara dekho to kaisi bahara ki jagaha hai agara do-cara dina jao to phira bila gaye tabiyata na mane। yahi do-tina gha\-mte jo s​nana-puja me\-m katata hai, meri khushi ka vak​ta hai। baki dina-rata sivaya gali sunane ke aura koi kama nahi\-m।

          pur​na—tuma jao। mai\-m na jau\-ngi। ji nahi\-m cahata।

          ramakali—calo-calo, nakhare na bagharo। dama ki dama me\-m to laute ate hai।

          ras​te me\-m eka tamoli ki dukana pada़ी। katha ke jinenu ma takh​to\-m para sapheda kapada़े pani se bhigakara bichaye hue the। usa para ba\-ngala desi va maghai pana badi saphai se cune hue the। samane do bada़े-bada़े caukhatedara aine lage hue the aura eka choti si cauki para khushabuyata ki shishiyaॉ\-n aura masalo ki dibiyaॉ\-n khubi se sajakara dhari hui thi\-m। tamoli eka sajila javana tha। sara para dupal​li topi cunakara kaja rakhati thi, badana me\-m aberavaॉ\-n ka cun​nata pada़ा hua kur​ta tha। gale me\-msone ki tabije\-m, a\-mkho me\-m sur​ma, peshani para sur​kha tika, ho\-mtha para pana ki lali namudara। ina dono aurato\-m ko dekhate hi bola—sethani ji, sethani ji, ao, pana khati jao।

          ramakali ne cata sara se cadara khisaka di aura phira usako eka a\-mdaja se odhakara aura dilarubayana a\-mdaja se ha\-msakara kaha—abhi thakuraji ka parashada nahi\-m paya hai।

          tamoli—ao, yaha bhi to parashada se kama nahi\-m। sa\-mto\-m ke hatha ki cija parashada se badha़kara hoti hai। ajakala to kai dina se tum​hare dar​shana hi nahi\-m hue, ye tum​hare satha kauna sakhi hai।

          ramakali—(matakakara) ye hamari sakhi hai, bedhaba taka rahe ho। k​ya kucha ji lalaca raha hai।

          tamoli—vo to hamari tarapha takati hi nahi\-m। haॉ\-n bhai, bada़े ghara ki hai। hama jaise to taluo\-m se sara ragada़te ho\-mge।

          yaha kahakara tamoli ne bida़े lagaye aura eka pat​te me lapetakara ramakali ki tarapha takal​lupha se hatha badha़ाya। jaba usane lene ke lie apana hatha phailaya to tamoli ne apana hatha khe\-mca liya aura ha\-nsakara bola—tum​hari sakhi le\-m to de\-m।

          ramakali—lo sakhi, pana khao।

          ramakali—tum​hari kauna-si sasa baithi hai jo kosegi, meri to sasa mana karati hai, usa para bhi hara roja pana khati hu\-n।

          pur​na—tum​hari adata hogi। mai\-m pana nahi\-m khati।

          ramakali—aja meri khatira se khao। tum​he\-m hamare sara ki kasama lo।

          lacara pur​na ne gilauriyaॉ\-n li\-m aura r​sh​mate hue khayi। aba jara dhupa takaliphadeha maluma hone lagi thi। usane ramakali se kaha—kidhara hai tum​hara ma\-mdira। vahaॉ\-n taka calate-calate to shayada shama ho javegi।

          ramakali—jitani dera yahaॉ\-n ho, hone do। ghara para k​ya dhara hai।

          pur​na khamosha ho gayi। usako babu amaृtaraya ke paira phisalane ka kh​yala a gaya। haya, jo kahi\-m ve aja gira pada़te to dush​mano\-m ki jana parabana jati। bada़ी khairiyata ho gayi। mai\-m bada़े mauke se a gayi thi। aja dera me ana saphala ho gaya। in​hi\-m kh​yalo\-m me\-m mahat​va thi ki daphaatana ramakali ne kaha—lo sakhi, a gaya ma\-mdira।

          pur​na ne cau\-mkakara dahine janiba dekha to eka nihayata alishana sa\-mgina imarata hai। daravaja satahe\-m jamina se bahuta u\-nca hai aura vahaॉ\-n taka jane ke lie dasa baraha jine bane hue hai। ramakali ko isa imarata me\-m le gayi। a\-mdara jakara k​ya dekhati hai ki eka push​ta vasiha sahana hai jisame saikada़ो mar​da aura aurata jama hai। dahine janiba eka baradari hai\-m jo tamama takal​lupha़ाta se a ras​ta-o-piras​ta naja़ra ati hai। isa baradari me\-m eka nihayata vajiha-o-shakila shakh​sa jar​da reshama ki mir​jai pahane sara para khubasurata gulabi ra\-mga ki pagada़ी ba\-mdhe masanada para takiya lagaye baitha hai। pecavana laga hua hai। usake rubaru saja़िn​de baithe sura mila rahe hai\-m aura eka mahapara naja़nina peshavaja़ pahane basada najo-a\-mdaja jalava apha़roja hai। saikada़ो\-m adami idhara-udhara baithe hai\-m aura saikada़ो\-m khada़े hai\-m। pur​na ne an​daja़ ki yaha kaiphiyata dekhi to cau\-mkakara boli—k​yu\-n, to nacaghara maluma hota hai। kahi\-m bhula to nahi\-m gayi?

ramakali—(mus​karakara) cupa, aisa bhi koi kahata hai? yahi devi ka man​dira hai। ve maha\-mta ji baithe hai\-m। dekhati ho kaisa sajila javana hai। aja somavara hai\-m। hara somavara ko yahaॉ\-n ka\-mcaniyo\-m ka naca hai।

isi asana me\-m eka bulan​da ka़ाmata shakh​sa ata dikhayi diya। koi cha\\\\\\\\\: pha़ीta ka kada tha aura nihayata lahima-o shahima। balo\-m me\-m ka\-mdhi ki hui thi, mu\-nha pana se bhare, mathe para bhabhuta ramayekh​ gale me\-m bada़े-bada़े dano\-m ki rud​rak​sa mala pahane, shano\-m para eka reshami dopat​ta rak​khe\-m, bada़ी, aura sur​kha ऑ\-mkhe\-m se idhara-udhara takata una dono\-m aurato\-m ke ka़riba akara khada़ा ho gaya। ramakali ne usaki tarapha़ eka a\-mdaja se dekhakara kaha—k​yu\-n baba in​d​radat​ta, kucha parashada-varashada nahi\-m banaya?

baba in​d​radat​ta ne pharamaya—tum​hare kha़ाtira saba haja़िra hai। pahale calakara naca dekho। ye ka\-mcani se bulayi gayi hai। maha\-mta ji bedhaba rijhe hai। eka hajara rupaya inama de cuke hai।

ramakali ne yaha sunate hi pur​na ka hatha pakada़ा aura baradari ki tarapha़ cali। bicari pur​na jana na cahati thi magara vahaॉ\-n sabake samane in​kara karate bhi na bana pada़ta tha। jakara eka kinare khada़ी ho gayi। beshumara aurato\-m jama thi। eka se eka hasina, gahane se go\-mdani ki taraha ladi hui thi। beshumara mar​da tha। eka se eka khusharu, ata dar​je ki poshake\-m pahane hue, saba ke saba eka hi jagaha mile-jule khada़े the। apasa me\-m najara-baja़िyaॉ\-n ho rahi thi। naja़rabaja़िyaॉ\-n hi nahi\-m, bal​ki das​tadaraja़िyaॉ\-n bhi hoti jati thi, mus​kar\-mus​kura rajo-niyaja़ ki bate\-m ki ja rahi thi। aurate\-m mar​do me\-m, mar​da me\-m, aurato\-m me\-m ye melajola, kha़िlat\-milata, pur​na ko kucha taj​jubakha़ेja maluma hua। usaki him​mata an​dara ghusane ki na pada़ी। eka kone me\-m bahara hi dabaka gayi। magara ramakali an​dara ghusa gayi aura vahaॉ\-n koi adha ghan​te taka usane khuba gulachar​re uda़ाye। jaba vo nikali hai to pasine me\-m ga़r​ka thi। eka tamama kapada़े masala gaye the।

ramakali—(ha\-nsakara) are tuma bahara  hi khada़ी thi\-m k​ya? ja़ra an​dara calakara dekho, k​ya bahara hai। ish​vara jane, ka\-mcani gati k​ya hai dila masosa leti। aba aja usaki caॉ\-ndi hai\-m haja़ाro\-m rupaye le jayagi।

ramakali—dar​shana karane ati hai meri bala। yahaॉ\-n to ja़ra dila bahalane se kama hai। tum​hare satha na hoti to kahi\-m gha\-mto\-m me\-m ghara jati। baba in​d​radat​ta raya ne aisa laja़ीja parashada diya hai ki k​ya batau\-n।

pur​na—k​ya hai? caranamaृta hai?

ramakali—(ha\-nsakara) canamaृta ka baba hai—bha\-mga।

ramakali-yahi to parashada hai devi ji ka isake pine me\-m k​ya har​ja hai? sabhi pite hai, devijo ko sharaba bhi cadha़ti hai। kaho tumako pilau\-n?

pur​na—nahi\-m bahana, mujhe muapha, rak​kho।

idhara yahi bate\-m ho rahi thi\-m ki dasa-pan​d​raha adami baradari se akara una dono\-m aurato\-m ke ir​da-gir​da khada़े ho gaye।

eka—(pur​na ki tarapha़ ghurakara) are yaro, ye to koi naya surupa hai।

dusara—ja़ra bacakara calo, bacakara

itane me\-m kisi ne pur​na ke shane ko ahis​ta se dhak​ka diya vo bicari sakh​ta ajaba me\-m mubatala hai\-m। jidhara dekhati hai, adami hi adami naja़ra ate hai। koi idhara se ka़hakaha lagata hai, koi udhara se avaja़े kasata hai। ramakali ha\-nsa rahi hai\-m। maja़ाko ka barajas​ta javaba deti hai। kabhi cadara ko khisakati hai, kabhi dupat​te ko sam​halati hai।

eka adami ne usase pucha—sethani ji, yaha kauna hai?

ramakali—ye hamari sakhi hai\-m ja़ra dar​shana karane liva lagi thi।

dusara—nahi\-m, ja़rura laya karo, o ho k​ya rupa hai

bare kha़ुda-kha़ुda karake una adamiyo\-m se nijata mili। pur​na betahasha bhagi। ramakali bhi usake satha hui। ghara para akara pur​na ne ahada kiya ki aba kabhi man​dira na jau\-ngi।

becari pur​na ne kana pakada़े ki aba man​dira kabhi na jau\-ngi। aise man​diro\-m para in​dara ka baja़ bhi girata। usa dina se vo sare dina ghara hi para baithi rahati। vak​ta़ katana pahada़ ho jata। na kisi ke yahaॉ\-n ana na jana। kisi se rab​ta-jab​ta, na koi kama na dha\-mdha। dina kate to k​yu\-n kara? padha़े to ja़rura, magara padha़े k​ya? do-cara kis​se-kahaniyaॉ\-n ki kitabe\-m pa\-mdita ji ke ja़mane ki pada़ी hui thi\-m magara uname\-m aba ji nahi\-m jagata tha। baja़ाra janevala koi na tha jisase kitabe\-m ma\-mgavati। kha़ुda jate hue usaki ruha pha़na hoti thi। bil​lo isa kama ki na tha। aura sauda-sulapha़ to vo baja़ाra se lati magara ga़riba kitabo\-m ka mola k​ya jane? do-eka bara ji me aya ki koi kitaba p​rema ke ghara se ma\-ngavau\-n magara phira kucha samajhakara khamosha ho rahi। gula-bute banane asake ate hi na the। sina janati thi magara siye k​ya?ye roja़ beshaga़li usako bahuta khalati thi aura haradama usako mutapha़k​kira-o-maga़muma rakhati thi। ja़िn​dagi ka cash​ma kha़ाmoshi ke satha bahata cala  jata tha। haॉ\-n, kabhi-pa\-mdaina va caubaina maya apane cele-capada़ो\-m ke akara kucha sikhavana ki bate\-m sunati jati thi। aba unako pur​na se koi shikayata baka़ी na raha gayi thi, bajuja isake ki babu amaृtaraya k​yu\-n aya karate hai\-m। pur​na ne bhi khul​lama-khul​la kaha diya tha ki mai\-m unako ona se roka nahi\-m sakati। aura na koi aisa bar​tava kara sakati hu\-n jisase unako maluma ho ki mera isako nagavara maluma hota hai। saca to yaha hai ki pur​na ko aba ina mulaka़ाto\-m me\-m maja़ा ane laga tha। haph​te-bhara kisi hamadar​da ki surata naja़ra na ati। kisi se ha\-nsakara bolane ko ji tarasa jata। pasa, jaba itavara ata to subaha hise amaृtaraya ke kha़ैra maka़dama ki taiyariyaॉ\-n hone lagati\-m। bil​lo bada़ी ta\-mdihi se sara makana sapha़ karati, daravaja़े ke maka़bila ka sehana bhi sapha़ kiya jata। kamare kur​siyaॉ\-n, tasivire\-m bahuta ka़rine se aras​ta ki jata। haph​te bhara ka jama hua gar​do-gubara dura kiya jata। pur​na kha़ुda bhi mamula se ac​che aura sapha़ kapada़े pahanati। haॉ\-n, sara me\-m tela dalate ya aina—ka\-mghi karati hue vo darati thi। jaba babu amaृtaraya a jate to nahi\-m maluma k​yu\-n pur​na ka mad​dhama cehara kun​dana ki taraha damakane lagata। usaki p​yari surata aura ja़िyada p​yari maluma hone laga़ti। jaba taka babu sahaba baithe rahate, vo isi koshisha me\-m rahati ki k​ya bata karu\-m jisame ye yahaॉ\-n se khusha-khusha jave\-m। vo unaki kha़ाtira se ha\-nsati-bolati। babu sahaba aise ha\-nsamukha the ki ki rote ko bhi eka bara jarura ha\-nsa dete। yahaॉ\-n vo khuba bulabula ki taraha cahate। koi aisi bata na karate jisase pur​na ke dila me\-m ra\-mjo\-m malala ka shayeba bhi paida ho। jaba unake calalane ka vak​ta़ to pur​na nahi\-m maluma k​yu\-n kucha udasa ho jati। babu sahaba isako isako tada़ jate aura pur​na ke kha़ाtira se kucha dera aura baithate। isi taraha kabhi-kabhi gha\-mto\-m baitha jate। jaba ciraga़ me\-m bat​ti pada़ne ka vak​ta़ a jata, babu sahaba cale jate aura pur​na kucha dera taka idhara-udhara baukhalayi hui ghumati। jo-jo bate\-m hui hoti unako phira se doharati। ye vak​ta़ usako eka dilakha़ुshakuna kha़ाba-sa maluma hota।

isi taraha kai mahine gujara gaye aura akha़िrasha jo bata babu amaृtaraya ke dila me\-m thi vo ka़riba-kariba pura ho gayi। yani pur​na ko aba maluma hone laga ki mere dila me\-m unaki muhab​bata samati jati hai। aba bicari pur​na pahale se bhi j​yada udasa rahane lagi। haya, o dila kha़ाna-kha़raba, k​ya eka bara muhab​bata karane se tera ji nahi\-m bhara jo tune napayi kulapha़ta mola li। vo bahuta koshisha karati ki amaृtaraya ka kha़yala dila me\-m ne ane paye magara kucha basa na calata।

apane dila ki halata ke an​daja karane ka usako yu\-n mauka mila ki eka raja babu amaृtaraya vak​ta़ muay​yana para nahi\-m aye। thoda़ी dera taka to ja़b​ta kiye unaki raha dekhati rahi magara jaba vo aba bhi na a़ye taba usaka dila kucha masosane laga। bada़ी besab​ri se dauda़ti hui daravaja़े para ayi aura kamila adha ghan​te\-m taka kana lagaye khada़ी rahi। kal​ba para kucha vahi kaiphiyata tari hone lagi jo pa\-mdita ji ke daura para jane ke vak​ta़ hua karati। shubaha hua ki kahi\-m dush​mano\-m ki tabiyata nasaja़ to nahi\-m ho gayi। a\-mkhe\-m me\-m ऑ\-msu bhara aye। mahari se kaha—bil​lo, ja़ra jao dekha to babu sahaba ki tabiyata kaisi hai? nahi\-m maluma k​yu\-n mera dila baitha jata hai। bil​lo ko bhi babu sahaba ke bar​t​tava ne girava़ाda bana liya tha aura pur​na ko to vo apani lada़ki samajhati thi। usako maluma hota jata tha ki pur​na unase muhab​bata karane lagi hai। magara usaki samajha me\-m nahi\-m ata tha ki isa muhab​bata ka natija k​ya hoga। yahi socate-vicarate ke babu sahaba ke daulatakha़ाne para pahu\-nci। maluma hua ki vo aja do-tina kha़िda matagaro\-m ke satha lekara baja़ाra gaye hue hai। abhi taka nahi\-m aye। purane budha़ा kahara jo bavajuda babu sahaba ke mutavari takaja़ो\-m ke adhi taॉ\-nga ki dhoti baॉ\-ndhata tha, bola—beta, bada़ा khataba jamana ava hai। hajara ka sauda hoya to, dui hajara ka sauda hoya to hama hi liyavata rahena। aja khuda apa gaye hai। bhala itane bada़े adami ka asa cahata raha। baki phira aba a\-mg​reji jamana ava hai। a\-mg​re\-mji-padha़na-padha़na ke jana hui jaya tauna acaraja nahi\-m hai।

bil​lo yahaॉ\-n se khusha-khusha budha़े kahara ke sira hilane para ha\-nsati hui ghara ko vapasa hui। idhara jaba se vo ayi thi pur​na ki ajaba kaiphiyata ho rahi thi kisi pahala taina hi nahi\-m ata tha। use maluma hota tha ki bil​lo ki vapasi me\-m bhi dera rahi hai। isi asana mai\-m juto\-m ki avaja़ sunayi di। vo dauda़kara daravaja़े para ayi aura babusahaba ko tahalate hue paya to goya usako nemata mila gayi। jhatapata an​dara se daravaja़ा khola diya, kur​si karine se rakha di, aura an​daruni daravaja़े para sara nica karake khada़ी ho gayi। babu sahaba labada pahane hue the। eka kur​si para labada rak​kha aura bola-bil​lo kahi\-m gayi hai k​ya?

pur​na—(lajate hue), ji haॉ\-n, apa hi ke yahaॉ\-n to gayi hai।

amaृtaray\-mere yahaॉ\-n kaba gayi?  k​yu\-n, koi jarurata thi?

pur​na—apake ane me\-m bahuta dera hui to mai\-mne samajha shayada dush​mano\-m ki tabiyata kucha nasaja़ ho gayi ho, usako bheja ki jakara dekha a।

amaृtaraya—(p​yara ki nigaho\-m se dekhakara) mujhe sakh​ta apha़sosa hua ki mere dera karane se tumako takalipha़ uthani pada़ी। phira aba aisi kha़ta na hogi। mai\-m jara baja़ाra cala gaya tha।

ye kahakara un​ho\-mne eka bara ja़ोra se pukara—sukhai, an​dara ao।

aura eka lamahe me\-m do-tina adami kamare me\-m dakhila hue। eka ke hatha me\-m kha़ूbasurata lohe ka san​duka tha aura dusare ke hatha me\-m taha kiye hue kapada़े the। saba samana takh​ta़ para dhara diya gaya। babu sahaba ne pha़ramaya—pur​na, mujhe um​mida hai ki tuma ye saba cija़े kabula karogi। can​da roja़ाna jaruriyata ki cije\-m hai (ha\-nsakara) ye dera me\-m ane ka jur​mana hai।

pur​na una logo me\-m na thi jo kisi cija़ ko lena to cahate hai\-m magara vaja़ा ki paban​di ke lihaja se do-cara bara ‘nahi\-m’ karana pha़r​ja samajhate hai। haॉ\-n usane itana kaha—babu sahaba, mai\-m apaka isa inayata ke lie shuk​riya ada karati hu\-n। magara mere pasa to jo kucha apaki phay​yaja़ी ke badaulata hai vahi jarurata se j​yada hai। mai\-m itani cija़े\-m lekara k​ya karu\-ngi’’

amaृtararaya—jo tum​hara ji cahe karo। tumane ka़bula kara liya aura meri mehanata thikane lagi।

isi asana me\-m bil​lo pahu\-nci। kamare me\-m babu sahaba ko dekhate hi nihala ho gayi। jaba takh​ta para nigaha pahu\-nci aura una cija़ो\-m ko dekha to boli—k​ya isake lie apa baja़ाra gaye the? k​ya naukara-cakara nahi\-m the? budha़ा kahara ro raha tha ki meri das​turi mari gayi।

amaृtaraya—(ha\-nsakara dabi ja़bana se) vo saba kahara mere naukara hai\-m। mere lie baja़ाra se cija़े\-m late hai। tum​hari sarakara ka mai\-m naukara hu\-n।

bil​lo yaha sunakara mus​karati hui an​dara cali gayi to pur​na ne kaha—apa baja़ा pha़ramate hai, mai\-m to khuda apaki lau\-mdiyo\-m ki lau\-mdi hu\-n।

isake bada can​da aura bate\-m hui। magha-pusa ka ja़mana tha। sar​di sakh​ta pada़ rahi thi। babu amaृtaraya j​yada dera taka baitha na sake। atha bajate-bajate daulakhane ki tarapha़ ravana hue। unake jate hi pur​na ne pha़r​te\-m ish​tiyaka़ se lohe ka san​duka khola to da\-mga raha gayi। usame\-m ja़nane si\-mgara ki tamama cije\-m maujuda thi\-m, ala dar​je ki—khushanuma aina, ka\-mghi, khushabudara telo\-m ki shishiyaॉ\-n, mubapha़ hatho\-m ke ka\-mgana aura gale ka hara jada़ाu\-n, naginedara cuda़िyaॉ\-n, eka nihayata napha़ीsa payadana, ruhaparavara itariyata se bhari hui eka choti-si san​duka़ci, likhane-padha़ne ke samana, can​da ka़िs​sa-kahani ki kitabe\-m, alava inake can​du aura takal​lupha़ाta ki cija़े\-m ka़rine se sajakara dhari hui thi\-m। kapada़े khole to ac​chi se ac​chi sada़िyaॉ\-n naja़ra ayi। shar​bati, gulanari, dhani, gulabi, una para reshami gulabute bane hue\\\\\\\\\:cadare, khushanuma, barika, khushavaja़ा—bil​lo inako dekha-dekha jame me\-m phuli na samati thi—vaha ye saba cija़े\-m jaba tuma pahanogi to rani ho jaogi, rani।

bil​lo—mai\-m yaha thoda़ी kahati hu\-n ki haradama ye cija़े\-m pahana karo। bal​ki jaba babu sahaba ave।

pur​na—aura jo kisi ne mujhe tana diya to janana।

bil​lo—jane bhi do bahu, kaisi bata mu\-nha se nikalati ho। kauna hai kahanevala।

subaha hi se bil​lo ne pur​na ka bayana-si\-mgara shuru kiya। mahino\-m se sara na mala gaya tha, aja khushabudara masale se mala gaya। tela dala gaya। ka\-mghi ki gayi। reshami mubapha़ lagakara bala gu\-nthe gaya। aura jaba seha-pahara ko pur​na ne gulabi kur​ti pahanakara usapara reshami kama ki shar​bati sada़ी, pahani, hatho\-m me\-m cuda़िyaॉ\-n ka\-mgana sajaye to vo bilakula hura hone lagi। kabhi usane aise beshaka़ीmata aura puratakal​lupha़ kapada़े na pahane the aura na vaha kabhi aisi sughada़ maluma hui thi। vo apani surata apa dekha-dekha kucha khusha bhi hoti thi, kucha shar​mati bhi thi aura kucha apha़sosa bhi karati thi। jaba shama ka vak​ta़ aya to pur​na kucha udasa maluma hone lagi। tahama usaki ऑ\-mkhe\-m daravaja़े para lagi hui thi\-m। paॉ\-nca bajate-bajate mamula se sabera babu amaृtaraya tasharipha़ laye। bil​lo se kha़ैroapha़िyata puchi aura kur​si para baitha ke kisi ke didara ke ish​tiyaka़ me\-m an​daruni daravaja़े\-m ke tarapha takataki lagakara dekhane lage। magara pur​na vahaॉ\-n na thi। koi dasa minata taka to babu sahaba ne khamoshi se in​taja़ाra kiya। bada me\-m aja़ॉ\-n bil​lo se pucha –k​yu\-n maharina, aja tum​hari sarakara kahaॉ\-n hai\-m?

amaृtaraya—k​ya se kisi ko kha़ाmakha़ाha ki dush​mani hai।

pur​na ne shar​ma ke mu\-nha phera liya। babu amaृtaraya ha\-nsane lage aura pur​na ki tarapha़ p​yara ki nigaho\-m se dekha। usaki haja़िrajavabi unako bahuta bhayi। kucha dera taka aura aise hi lut​phaamoja़ bato\-m ka maja़ा lete rahe। pur​na ko bhi kh​yala na tha ki meri ye betakal​lupha aura baja़lasa\-mji mere lie mauju\-n nahi\-m hai। usako isa vak​ta़ na pa\-mdaina ka kha़ौpha़ tha। na pada़ोsiyo\-m ka dara। bato\-m hi bato\-m me\-m usane mus​karahata amaृtaraya se pucha-apake ajakala p​rema ki kucha kha़bara mili hai?

amaृtaraya—nahi\-m, pur​na, mujhe idhara unaki kucha kha़bara nahi thi। haॉ\-n, itana alabat​ta janata hu\-n ki babu dananatha se ka़rabata ki batacita ho rahi hai।

pur​na—sakh​ta apha़sosa hai ki unaki kis​mata me\-m apaki bivi banana nahi\-m likha hai। magara unaka joda़ hai to apa hi se। haॉ\-n, apase bhi kahi\-m batacita ho rahi thi। pha़ramaie vo kauna khushanasiba hai। vo dina jal​da ata ki mai\-m apaki mashuka se milati।

amaृtaraya—(purahasarata lahaje me\-m) dekhe\-m kaba kis​mata yavari karati hai। mai\-mne apani koshisha me\-m to kucha utha nahi\-m rak​kha।

pur​na—to k​ya udhara hi se khi\-mcava hai, taj​jabu hai

amaृtaraya—nahi pur​na, mai\-m jara badaka़िs​mata hu\-n, abhi taka koi koshisha karagara nahi\-m hui। magara saba kucha tum​hare hi hatho\-m me\-m hai। agara tuma caho to mere sara kamayabi ka sehara bahuta jal​di ba\-ndha sakata hai। mai\-mne pahale kaha tha aura aba bhi kahata hu\-n ki tum​hari hi raja़ाman​di para meri kamayabi ka daromadara hai।

pur​na hairata se amaृtaraya ki tarapha dekhane lagi। usane aba ki bara bhi unaka matalaba sapha़-sapha़ na samajha। boli—meri tarapha़ se apa kha़ाtira jama rakhiye। mujhase jahaॉ\-n taka ho sakega uthana rakhu\-ngi।

amaृtaraya—ina alapha़ाja ka yada rakhana pur​na, aisa na ho ki bhula jao। nahi\-m to mujha becare ke saba aramana khaka me\-m mila me\-m mila jaye\-mge।

ye kahakara babu amaृtaraya ut​the aura calate vak​ta़ pur​na ki tarapha़ dekha। becari pur​na ki ऑ\-mkhe\-m dabadabayi hui thi goya il​tija kara rahi thi ki jara dera aura baithiye magara amaृtaraya ko koi ja़ruri kama tha। un​ho\-mne usaka hatha ahis​ta se liya aura darate-darate usako cumakara bole—p​yari pur​na, apani bato\-m ko yada rakhana।

ye kaha aura dama ke dama me\-m gayaba ho gaye। pur​na khada़ी rahati raha gayi aura eka dama me\-m aisa maluma hua ki koi dilakhushakuna kh​vaba tha jo ऑ\-mkha khulate hi ga़ाyaba ho gaya।

pur​na ne isa kha़ta ko gaura se padha़ा। usako usase ja़ra bhi taj​juba nahi\-m hua। aisa maluma hota tha ki kisi ki mun​taja़िra thi। usane thana liya tha ki jisa dina babu sahaba mujhase khul​lamakhul​la taash​shuka jataye\-mge aura najayaja़ pesha kare\-mge usi dina mai unase bilakula ka़ta kara lu\-ngi। unaki tamama cija़े unake havale kara du\-ngi aura phira jaise bitega bitau\-ngi। magara isa khata ko padha़kara usako apane irade me\-m kamaja़ोri maluma hone lagi। k​yo\-mki usako kh​vaba me\-m bhi kh​yala na tha ki babu sahaba baka़ाyada shadi karege aura na usako vahama hi tha ki bevao\-m ki shadiyaॉ\-n hoti hai sabase badha़kara yaha bata thi barahamana aura chat​ri me\-m tal​luka k​ya? mai\-m birahamani vo chat​ri, pasa mera unaka k​ya ilaka kucha nahi\-m। unaki calaki hai। vo mujhe ghara rakha cahate hai। magara yaha  mujhase na hoga। mere dila me\-m muhab​bata ja़rura hai। mujhe aja taka aisi muhab​bata kisi aura ki nahi\-m maluma hui। magara mujhase muhab​bata ki kha़ाtira itana bada़ा papa na uthaya jaega। meri khushi to isame\-m hai ki unako naja़ra bhara ke dekha karu\-n aura unaki sehata ki khushakhabara paya karu\-n। magara haya, isa khata ke akhira jumale ga़ja़ba ke hai। kahi\-m mere inakara se unake dushamano\-m ka bala bhi bika hua to mai\-m bemauta mara jau\-ngi। ya ish​vara mai\-m k​ya karu\-n meri to kucha aka़la kama nahi\-m karati।

pur​na—haॉ\-n bil​lo, isase ja़िyada buri sunavani ho hi nahi\-m sakati। amaृtaraya kahate hai\-m ki mujhase..

usase aura kucha na kaha gaya। bil​lo samajha gayi magara vahi\-m taka pahu\-nci jahaॉ\-n  taka usaki ak​la ne madada ki। vo amaृtaraya ki badha़ti hui muhab​bata ko dekha-dekha dila me\-m samajha gayi thi ki vo eka na eka dina pur​na ko apane ghara jarura dale\-mge। pur​na unase muhab​bata karati hai। una para jana deti hai। vo pahale bahuta pasopesha karegi। magara akha़िra mana jaegi। usane saikada़ो\-m raiso\-m ko dekha tha ki naino, kahariyo\-m ko ghara dala liya karate hai। ga़ाlibana isa halata me\-m bhi aisa hoga। isame\-m usako koi bata anokhi nahi\-m maluma hoti thi। k​yo\-mki usako yakina na tha ki babu sahaba pur​na se sac​ci muhab​bata karate hai। magara becare sivaya isake aura kara hi k​ya sakate hai\-m ki usako ghara me\-m dala le\-m। cuna\-mce jaba usane pur​na ko yu\-n bate\-m karate dekha to tada़ gayi ki aja़maisha ka mauka hai vo janati thi ki agara pur​na raja़ी hui to usaki bakiya jin​dagi bada़े arama se kate\-mgi। babu sahaba bhi nihala ho jaऍ\-mge aura mai\-m budha़ी bhi unaki badaulata arama karu\-ngi। magara kahi\-m usane inakara kiya to dono\-m ki jin​dagi ka tal​kha ho jaegi। yaha bate\-m socakara usane pur​na se pucha—tuma k​ya javaba dogi?

pur​na—javaba, isaka javaba sivaya inakara ke aura ho hi k​ya sakata hai? bhala vidhavao\-m ki shadi kahi\-m hui aura vo bhi barahamani ki chat​ri se। mai\-mne isa kis​ma ke kis​se una kitabo\-m me\-m padha़े the jo babu amaृtaraya mujhe de gaye hai\-m। magara vo kis​se hai\-m, tumane kabhi aisa hote bhi dekha hai।

bil​lo—bahu, aisi bate\-m jabana se mata nikalo। vo becara bhi to apane dila se nacara hai\-m, k​ya kare?

bil​lo—ja़ra isa bak​sa ko to kholo, dekho isame\-m k​ya hai।

bil​lo—o ho, isa para to jada़ाu kama kiya hua hai

pur​na—un​ho\-mne isa kha़ta me\-m likha hai ki mai\-m shama ko au\-nga aura agara tumako yaha ka\-mgana pahane dekhu\-nga to samajha jau\-nga ki meri ma\-mjura hai nahi\-m to dusare dina dush​mana jin​da na rahege।

bil​lo—k​ya aja hi shama ko avege?

pur​na—haॉ\-n, aja hi shama ko to ayege। aba tum​hi\-m batalao k​ya karu\-n। kisase jakara ilaja puchu\-n।

yaha kahakara pur​na ne dono\-m hatho\-m se apani pareshani tho\-mka aura kha़ाmosha baithakara socane lagi। nahane kauna jata hai, khane-pine ki kisako sudha hai। dopahara taka baithi soca ki magara dimaga ne koi ka़tarai phaisala na kiya। haॉ\-n j​yu\-n-j​yu\-n shama ka vak​ta़ kariba ata tha t​yu\-n-t​yu\-n usaka dila dhada़-dhada़ karata tha ki usake samane kaise jau\-ngi। agara vo kalaiyo\-m para ka\-mgana na dekhege to k​ya kare\-mge। kahi\-m jana para na khela ja़ाya\-n। magara tabiyata ka kayada hai ki jaba koi bata hada se ja़िyada mahava karanevali hoti hai to usa para thoda़ा dera ga़ौra karane ke bada dimaga bilakula bekara ho jata hai। pur​na se aba soca bhi na jata tha। vo peshani para hatha diye baithi divara ki tarapha़ takati rahi। bil​lo bhi khamosha mana mare hui thi। tina baje hoge\-m ki yakayaka babu amaृtaraya ki manusa avaja़ daravaja़े para ‘bil​lo—bil​lo’ kahate hue sunayi di। bil​lo bahara dauda़ी aura pur​na apane kamare me\-m ghusa gayi aura daravaja़े bheda़ liya aura usa vak​ta़ usaka dila bhara aya aura ja़ाro ka़tara rone lagi। idhara babu amaृtaraya aja़hada becaina the। bil​lo ko dekhate hi unaki mush​taka़ nigahe\-m bada़ी teji se usake cehare ki tarapha़ uthi\-m magara usa para apani kamayabi ki koi baum​mida jhalaka na pakara ja़mina ki tarapha़ gada़ gayi\-m dabi hui avaja़ me\-m bole—bil​lo, tum​hari udasi dekhakara mera dila baitha jata hai। k​ya koi khushakha़bari na sunaogi?

bil​lo ne hasarata se ऑ\-mkhe\-m nici kara li\-m aura amaृtaraya ne abadida hokara kaha—mujhe to isaka kha़ौpha pahale hi tha, kis​mata ko koi k​ya kare magara ja़ra tuma unase meri mulakata kara deti, mujhe um​mida hai ki vo mujha para apani inayata ja़rura kare\-mgi। mai\-m unako akha़िri bara dekha leta।

yaha kahate—kahate amaृtaraya ki avaja़ beakh​tiyara kaॉ\-npane lagi। bil​lo ne unako rote dekha to ghara me\-m dauda़ी gayi aura boli—bahu, bahu becari khada़े ro rahe hai। kahate hai ki mujhase eka dama ke lie mila jaya\-n।

bil​lo—k​ya batau\-n, becaro\-m ki dono\-m ऑ\-mkhe\-m lala hai\-m। rumala bhiga gaya hai, kaha hai ki hamako akhiri bara apani surata dikha jae।

haya, ye vak​ta़ becari kamaja़ोra dilavali pur​na ke lie nihayata najuka tha। agara ka\-mgana pahanakara amaृtaraya ke samane jati hai ki jin​dagi ke sare aramana pure hote hai, sari am​mede bara ati hai। agara bila ka\-mgana pahane jati hai to unake aramano ka khuna karati hai aura apani ja़िn​dagi ko talakha़। usa halata me\-m badanami hai aura rusavai, isa halata me\-m hasarata hai aura nakami। usaka dila dubadhe me\-m hai। akhira badanami ka kha़yala ga़ाliba aya। vo ghu\-nghata nikalakara nishas​tagaha ki tarapha़ cali। bil​lo ne dekha ki usaki hatha pakada़kara khe\-mca aura caha ki ka\-mgana pahana de magara pur​na ne hatha ko jhataka dekara chuda़ा liya aura dama ke dama me\-m vo baharavale kamare ke an​daruni daravaja़े para akara khada़ी ho gayi। usane amaृtaraya ki tarapha़ dekha। ऑ\-mkhe\-m lala thi\-m। un​ho\-mne usaki tarapha dekha। cehare se hasarata barasa rahi thi\-m। dono\-m nigahe\-m mili। amaृtaraya beakh​tiyarana josha se usaki tarapha़ badha़े aura usaka hatha lekara kaha—pur​na, ish​vara ke lie mujha para rahama karo।

unake mu\-nha se kucha na likala। avaja़ halaka़ me\-m pha\-nsakara raha gayi। pur​na ki khud​dari aja़ taka kabhi aisi im​tihana me\-m na pada़ी thi। usane rote—rote apana sara amaृtaraya ke ka\-mdhe para rakha diya kucha kahana caha magara avaja़ na nikali। haya khud​dari ka baॉ\-ndha tuta gaya aura vaha tamama josha jo ruka hua tha ubala pada़ा। amaृtaraya ga़ja़ba ke nab​ja़shanasa the। samajha gaye ki aba ma़ौka hai। un​ho\-mne ऑ\-mkhe\-m ke ishare se bil​lo se ka\-mgana ma\-ngavaya। pur​na ko ahis​ta se kur​si para bitha diya। vo ja़ra bhi na jhijhaki। usake hatho\-m me\-m ka\-mgana pahanaya। pur​na ne ja़ra bhi hatha na khi\-mca। taba amaृtaraya ne juraata karake usake hatho\-m ko cuma liya aura unaki ऑ\-mkhe\-m mare khushi ke jagamagane lagi\-m। roti hui pur​na ne muhab​bata nigaho\-m se unaki tarapha़ aura boli—p​yare amaृtaraya, tuma sacamuca jadugara ho।

amaृtaraya ne khututa idhara-udhara ravana kara hi diye the, shadi ki tarikha se cara dina pahale se shurapha ane shuru hue। koi bam​bai se ata tha, koi mad​rasa, koi pa\-mjaba koi ba\-mgala se। banarasa me\-m riphar​ma se in​tiha dar​je ka ikhatilapha tha aura sare hin​dos​tana ke ripha़ाr​maro\-m ke ji se lagi hui thi ki cahe ho, banarasa me\-m ripha़ाr​ma ko roshani phailane ka aisa nadira mauka़ा hatha se na dena cahie। vo itani dura ki ma\-mjile taya karake isilie aye the ki shadi ka kamayabi ke satha a\-mjama taka pahu\-ncaye। vo janate the ki agara isa shahara me\-m ye shadi ho gayi to phira isa sube ke dusare shaharo\-m ke ripha़ाr​maro\-m ke lie bada़ी asani ho jaegi। amaृtaraya mehamano\-m ki avabhagata me\-m  mashagula the aura unake purajosha pairo jinaki tadada kalija ke dasa-baraha tulaba para mahaduda thi, sapha-suthari poshaka pahane s​teshana para jakara mehamano ki taka़dima karate aura unake tavaja़ो-takarima me\-m bada़ी saragar​mi dikhate the। shadi ke dina taka yahaॉ\-n koi dedha़ sau shurapha mujatama ho gaye। agara koi shakh​sa hin​dos​tana ki raushani, hub​dula vataniva joshe kauma ko yakaja dekhapana cahata ho isa vak​ta़ babu amaृta raya ke makana para dekha sakata tha। banarasa ke purane khayalavale ahasahaba ina taiyariyo\-m aura mehamano\-m ki kasarata ko dekha-dekara dila me\-m hairani hote the। mu\-mshi badarip​rasada sahaba aura unake hamakha़yala adamiyo\-m me\-m kai bara mashavare hue hue aura hara bara katai pha़ैsala hua ki cahe jo ho magara marapita ja़ruri ki jae। cuna\-mce sara shahara amadaye ja\-mgokaraja़ाra tha।

amaृtaraya—(gale se lagakara) p​yari pur​na, daro mata। ish​vara cahega to dush​mana hamare bala bhi bika na kara sakege। hama koi gunaha nahi\-m kara rahe hai। kala jo barata tum​hare daravaja़े para aegi vaisi barata aja taka shahara me\-m  kisi ke daravaja़े para na ayi hogi।

pur​na yaha sunaka vaka़i apane khaupha ko bhula gayi। usane amaृtaraya ko p​yara ki niga़ाho\-m se dekha aura jaba babu sahaba calane lage to unake gale se lipata gayi aura boli—p​yari amaृtaraya, tumako meri ka़sama ina jalimo\-m se bacate rahana। apha़vaho\-m ko suna-suna ke meri ruha pha़na hui jati hai।

amaृtaraya ne use sine se lashaph​phi va dilasa dekara apane makana ko ravane hue। shama ke vak​ta़ pur​na ke makana para kai pa\-mdita jinaki shak​la se sharaphata barasa rahi thi, resh​mi mir​jaiyaॉ\-n pahane, gale me\-m phulo\-m ka hara dale, aye aura veda ki riti se rasumata ada karane lage। pur​na dulahina ki taraha sajayi gayi। bhitara-bahara gaisa ki roshani se munav​vara ho raha tha। kanis​tibila daravaje para tahala rahe the। vo naye khuna aura nayi roshani ke tulaba jinako amaृtaraya yahaॉ\-n para tainata kara gaye the, taiyariyo\-m me\-m masarupha the। daravaja़े ka sehana sapha़ kiya ja raha tha। pha़r​sha bichaya ja raha tha। kur​siyaॉ\-n a rahi thi। sari rata in​hi\-m taiyariyo\-m me\-m kati aura alas​sabaha barata amaृtaraya ke ghara se ravana hui।

masheal​la, k​ya mahaj​jaba barata tha aura kaise mahaj​jaba barati, na baja़ो ka dhada़-dhada़ pada़-pada़ , na bigalo\-m ki gho-po\-m,-po na palakiyo\-m ka jhuramuta, na saje hue ghoda़ो\-m ki cil​lapo\-m, na mas​ta hathiyo\-m ka rela-pela, na var​diposha asabaradaro\-m ki katara, na gula na guladas​te। bal​ki saphedaposho\-m ki eka jamata thi jo ahis​ta-ahis​ta cahalakadami karati apani sa\-mjida raph​tara se apani mus​ta kilamija़ाji ka subuta deti hui cali ja rahi thi। haॉ\-n, i jada yaha thi ki doruya ja\-mgi pulisa ke adami var​diyaॉ\-n dale site liye khada़े the। sada़ka ke idhara-udhara ja-baja jhu\-mda ke jhu\-mda adami lathiyaॉ\-n liye jama naja़ra ate the aura barata ki tarapha dekha-dekhakara daॉ\-nta pisate।

magara pulisa ka vo roba tha ki kisi ka़dama hilane ki juraata na pada़ti। baratiyo\-m ke pacasa ka़dama ke pha़sale para rija़r​va pulisa ke savara hathiyaro\-m se lai\-msa ghoda़े para ranapatari jamaye bhale camakate aura ghoda़ो\-m ko uchalate cale jate the। tahama ha lam​ha ye an​desha tha ki kahi\-m pulisa ke khaupha ka ye tilis​ma tuta na jae। baratiyo\-m ke cehare se bhi kamila it​minana nahi\-m jahira hota tha aura babu amaृtaraya jo isa vak​ta़ nihayata khubasurata vaja़ा ki sheravani pahane hue the, cau\-mka-cau\-mka kara idhara-udhara dekhate the। ja़ra bhi khatapata hoti to sabake kana khada़े hote। eka mar​taba ja़ाlimo\-m ne vakai dhava bola diya। phaurana cautarapha़ा san​nata cha gaya magara militari pulisa ne k​vika mar​ca kiya aura dama ke dama me\-m can​da shorapush​to\-m ki mush​ke kasa li gayi\-m। phira kisi ko apani mupha़sitaparadaja़ी ko amali surata me\-m lane ka gur​da na hua। bare khuda-khuda karake koi adha ghan​te me barata pur​na ke makana para pahu\-nci। vahaॉ\-n pahale hi barati asahaba ke khaira maka़dama ka samana kiya gaya tha। sehana me\-m pha़r​sha laga hua tha। kur​siyo\-m karine masarupha़ the aura ku\-mda ke ir​da-gir​da can​da pa\-mdito baithe hue veda ke sh​loka bada़ी khushailahani se ga rahe the। havana ki khushabu se sara muhal​la muat​tara ha raha tha। baratiyo\-m ke ate hisaba ki pareshani para can​dana aura japha़rana mala gaya, sabake galo\-m me\-m khubasurata hara pahanaye gaye। bada aja़ॉ\-n dul​ha maya can​da asahaba ke makana ke an​dara gaya aura vahaॉ\-n veda riti se shadi ka ras​ma ada kiya gaya। na gita hua na naca na  gali-galauja। becari pur​na ko sam​halanevali koi na tha, sir​pha bil​lo\-m mash​shata ka kama bhi karati thi aura ja़lisa ka bhi। an​dara to shadi ho rahi thi, bahara haja़ाro\-m adami lathiyaॉ\-n aura sote lie gula maca rahe the। pulisavale unako roke hue makana ke gir​da eka halaka baॉ\-ndha khada़े the। tamama barati dama ba khuda tha। isi vak​ta़ me\-m pulisa ka kap​tana bhi a pahu\-nca। usane ate hi huk​ma diya ki bhida़ hata di jae aura dama ke dama me\-m pulisavalo\-m ne soto se mar\-marakara usa tupha़ाne betamija़ी ko hatana shuru kiya। ja\-mgi pulisa ne darane-ke lie ban​duko\-m ki do-cara badha़े hava me sara kara di। aba k​ya tha cautarapha़ा bhagadada़ maca gayi। magara hame usi vak​ta़ thakura ja़ोravara si\-mha dohari pis​taula baॉ\-ndhe najara pada़ा। usaki mu\-nche khada़ी thi\-m। ऑ\-mkhe\-m se a\-mgare uda़ rahe the। usako dekhate dekhate hi vo bekayada jo tit​tara-bit​tara ho rahi thi phira jama hone lagi, jisa taraha saradara ko dekhakara bhagati hui phauja dama pakada़ le। eka lamahe me\-m koi haja़ाraha adami ikat​tha ho gaye aura dilavara thakura ne j​yu\-n hi eka nara mara ‘jaya dur​ga ji ki’ t​yu\-n hi sari jamata ke dilo me\-m goya koi taja ruha a gayi। josha bhada़kara utha। khuna me\-m harakata paida hui aura saba ke saba dariyaki taraha umada़te hue age ko badha़े। militari pulisavala bhi sa\-mgina khole hue katara ke katara hamale ke mun​tajira khada़े the। cautarapha़ा eka khaupha़naka san​nata chaya hua tha ki aba koi dama me\-m khuna ki nadi baha cahati hai। pulisa kap​tana bada़ी pamar​di se apane adamiyo\-m ka ubhara raha tha ki dapha़atana pis​taula ki avaja़ ayi aura kap​tana ki topi jamina para gira pada़ी, magara jakh​ma nahi\-m laga। kap​tana ne dekha liya tha ki pis​taula ja़ोravara si\-mha ne sara kiya hai। usane bhi cata apani ban​duka sam​hali aura ban​duka ka shane taka lana tha ki thakura ja़ोravara si\-mha caro\-m khane cit​ta ja़mina para a raha। usaka girana tha ki dilavara sipahiyo\-m ne dhava kiya aura vo jamata badahavasa hokara bhagi। jisake jahaॉ\-n si\-mga samaye, cala nikala। koi adha ghan​te me\-m cida़िya ka puta bhi na dikhayi diya। bahara to yaha tuphana bar​pa tha, an​dara dul​ha aura dul​hana mare dara ke sukhe jate। pur​na thara-thara kaॉ\-npa rahi thi। usako bara-bara rona ata tha ki ye mujha abhagini ke lie itana khuna-kha़c​cara ho raha hai। amaृtaraya ke kha़yalata kucha aura hi the। vo socate the ki kasha mai\-m pur​na ke satha kisi taraha bakha़ैriyata makana taka pahu\-nca jata to dush​mano\-m ke hau\-msale pas​ta ho jate। pulisa hai to kapha़ी। are ye ban​duke calane lagi lijiye,  becara ja़ोravara si\-mha mara gaya। adha ghan​te ke hi an​dara, jo amaृtaraya ko kai baraso\-m ke barabara hota tha, miyaॉ\-n-bivi hamesha ke lie eka-dusare se mila diye gaye aura taba yahaॉ\-n se barata ki rukhasani ki thahari।

pur​na eka pha़िnisa me\-m bithayi gayi aura jisa taraha barata ayi thi usi taraha ravana hui। aba ki mukha़liphauna ko sara uthaneki jurata na hui। adami idhara-udhara jarura jama the aura ka़ha़raaluda nigaho\-m se ina jamata ka dekhate the। idhara-udhara se pat​thara bhi calayaye ja rahe the taliyaॉ\-n bajayi ja rahi thi, mu\-nha cidha़ाya ja raha tha magara una shararato\-m se aise mus​taka़िlamijaja ripha़ाr​maroki sa\-mjidagi me\-m k​ya khalala a sakata tha। haॉ\-n, an​dara phinisa me\-m baithi hui pur​na ro rahi thi। ga़libana isalie ki dul​hana dul​ha ke ghara jate vak​ta़ jarura roya karati hai। bare khuda-khuda karake barata thikane pahu\-nci। dul​hana utari gai। baratiyo\-m ki jana me\-m jana ayi। amaृtaraya ki khushi ka k​ya puchana। doda़-dauda़ sabase hatha milate phirate the। baॉ\-ncha khili jati thi। j​yo\-mhi pur​na usa saje hue kamare me\-m raunaka apha़roja hui, jo khuda bhi dul​hana ki taraha saja hua tha, amaृtaraya ne use akara kaha—‘p​yari, lo hama bakha़ैriyata pahu\-nca gaye। ai, tuma to ro rahi ho’ yaha kahate hue un​ho\-mne rumala se usake ऑ\-msu po\-mche aura usako gale se lagaya।

pur​na ko kucha thoda़ी-si khushi mahasusa hui। usaki tabiyata khuda-ba-khuda sam​hala gayi। usane amaृtaraya ka hatha pakada़ liya aura boli—aba yahi\-m mere pasa baithie apako bahara na jane du\-ngi। opha, jalimo\-m ne kaisa udhama mayaca।

isa mubaraka ras​ma ke bada baratiyo\-m ke calane ki taiyariyaॉ\-n hone lagi। magara sabane isarara kiya ki lala dhanukhadharilala sabako apani takarira se eka bara pha़ैjiyaba kare\-m। cuna\-mce dusare dina amaृtaraya ke ba\-ngale ke mukabilavale sehana me eka shamiyana nasaba karaya aura bada़े dhumadhama ka jalasa hua। vo dhu\-nadhara takarire hui ki saikada़ो\-m adamiyo\-m ke kuph​ra tuta gaye। eka jalase ki kamayabi ne him​mata badha़ाyi, do jalase aura hue aura duni kamayabi ke satha। sara shahara tuta pada़ta tha। pulisa ka barabara in​taja़ाma raha। vahi loga jo kala ripha़ाr​ma ke kha़िlapha lathiyaॉ\-n liya hue the, aja ina taka़riro\-m ko gaura se sunate the aura calate vak​ta़ go una bato\-m amala karane ke lie taiyara na ho\-m magara itana jarura kahate the ki yara, yaha saba bate\-m to thika kahate hai\-m। ina jalaso\-m ke bada do bevao\-m ki aura shadiyaॉ\-n hui। dono\-m dul​he amaृtaraya ke purajosha pairavo\-m me se the aura dul​hano\-m me\-m se eka pur​na ke satha ga\-mga nahane vali ramakali thi। cauthe dina tamama haja़rata rukhasata hue। pur​na bahuta kan​ni katati phiri। magara tahama baratiyo\-m se mija़ाjapur​si karani pada़ी aura lala dhanukhadhari ne to tina phira adha-adha gha\-mte taka usake akha़laki talakina ki।

shadi ke cauthe dina bada pur​na baithi hui thi ki eka aurata ne akara usako eka sara-b\-mohara lipha़ाpha diya। padha़ा to p​rema ka khata tha। usane usako mubarakabada di thi aura babu amaृtaraya ki vaha tasavira, jo baraso\-m se usake gale ka hara thi, pur​na ke lie bheja di thi। usa khata ki akhiri sa\-mtare ye thi—

‘’sakhi, tuma bada़ी bhag​yavana ho। ish​vara sada tum​hara suhaga kayama rak​khe। meri hajaro\-m um​mide\-m isa tasavira se vabas​ta thi\-m। tuma janati ho ki mai\-mne usako jana se ja़िyada aja़ीja rakh​ra magara aba mai\-m isa kabila nahi\-m ki isako\-m apane sine para rak​khu\-n। aba ye tumako mubaraka ho। p​yari, mujhe bhulana mata। apane p​yare pati ko meri tarapha se mubarakabada dena। agara ji\-mda rahi to tumase ja़rura mulakata hogi।

mehamano\-m ki rukhamati ke bada ye um​mida ki jati thi ki mukhaliphina aba sara na uthayege\-m। khususana isa vajaha se ki unaki takata mushi badarip​rasada aura thakura joravara si\-mha ke mara jane se nihayata kamajora-si ho rahi thi। magara it​taphaka me\-m bada़ी kuvata hai। eka haph​ta bhi na gujarane paya tha, an​desha kucha-kucha kama hi cala tha ki eka roja subaha ko babu amaृtaraya ke tamama shar​gidapeshe unaki khidamata me\-m hajira hue aura ar​ja kiya ki hamara is​tipha le liya jae। babu sahaba apane naukaro\-m se bahuta ac​cha bar​tava rakhate the। pasa unako isa vak​ta sakh​ta taj​juba hua। bole—tuma loga k​ya cahate ho? k​yu\-n is​tipha dete ho?

naukara—aba hujura hama loga naukari na kare\-mge।

amaृtaraya—akhira isaki koi vajaha bhi hai। agara tum​hari tanakh​vaha kama ho to badha़ाyi ja sakati hai। agara koi dusari shikayata ho to rapha ki ja sakati hai। ye is​tiphe ki batacita kaisi auraphira saba ke saba eka satha।

naukara—hujura, tanakha़ा ki hamako jara bhi shikayata nahi\-m। hujura to hamaka mai bapa ki taraha manata hai। muda aba hamara kucha basa nahi\-m। jaba hamare biradari jata se bahara karata hai, huk​ka-pani ba\-mda karata hai, saba kahate hai kiunake iha\-n naukari mata karo\-m।

babu amaृtaraya bata ki taha taka pahu\-nca gaye। mukha़ाlipha़ीna ne apana aura koi basa calata na  dekhakara satane ka dha़\-mga nikala hai। bole—hama tum​hari tanakh​vaha duni kara de\-mge, agara apana is​tipha phera loge। var​na tum​hara is​tipha namajura, tavak​te ki hamako aura kahi\-m khidamatagara na mila jaye।

naukara—(hatha joda़kara) sarakara, hamare upara meharabani ki jae। biradari hamako aja hi kharija kara degi।

amaृtaraya—(daॉ\-ntakara) hama kucha nahi\-m janate, jaba taka hamako naukara na mile\-mge, hama haragija is​tipha ma\-mjura na kare\-mge। tuma loga a\-mdhe ho,dekhate nahi\-m ho ki bila naukaro\-m ke hamara kama k​yu\-nkara calega?

          naukaro\-m ne dekha ki ye isa taraha haragija chutati na de\-mge cuna\-mce usa vak​ta to vahaॉ\-n se cale aye। dina-bhara khuba dila lagakara kama kiya। atha baje rata ke kariba jaba babu amaृtaraya saira karake aye to koi tamatama thamanevala na tha। caro\-m tarapha ghuma-ghumakara pukara। magara sadaye na barakhas​ta। samajha gaye kas​bakh​to\-m ne dhokha diya। khuda ghoda़े ko khola, pherane ki kahaॉ\-n phurasata। saja़ utara as​tabala me\-m baॉ\-ndha diya। a\-mdara gaye to k​ya dekhate hai ki pur​na baithi khana paka rahi hai aura bil​lo idhara-udhara dauda़ rahi hai। naukaro\-m para data\-n pisaka raha gaye। pur​na se kaha—p​yari, aja tumako bada़ी takalipha़ ho rahi hai। kam​bakh​to\-m ne sakh​tadhokha diya।

amaृtaraya ko usa vak​ta dil​lagi kahaॉ\-n sujhati thi, becare cavala-dala khana bhula gaye the। kash​miri birahamana nihayata napha़ीsa khane taiyara karata tha। usa shahara me\-m aisa bahunara bavar​ci kahi\-m na tha। kitane shurapha\-m usako naukara rakhane ke lie mu\-nha phailaye hue the। magara koi aisi dariyadili se tanakhaha nahi\-m de sakata tha। usake jane kababu sahaba ko sakh​ta aphasosa hua।

amaृtaraya ne bivi se pucha—ye badamasha tumase puchane bhi aye the ya yu\-n hi cale gaye?

pur​na—mujhase to koi bhi nahi\-m puchane aya। maharaja alabat​ta aya aura rota tha ki mujhe loga marane ko dhamaka rahe hai।

babu dananatha itana to shadi karane ke pahale hi janate the। ki p​rema amaृtaraya para jana deti hai। magara un​hone samajha tha kiusaki muhab​bata mamuli muhab​bata hogi। jaba mai\-m usako b​yaha kara lau\-nga aura usake satha ikha़lama va p​yara se pesha au\-nga to vo saba bhula jayagi aura phira hamari ja़ि\-mdagi bada़े it​minana se basara hogi। cuna\-mce eka mahine taka un​ho\-mne usaki dilagiraph​tagi ki bahuta j​yada parava na ki। magara unako k​ya maluma  tha ki vo muhab​bata ka paudha jo paॉ\-nca barasa taka khune dila se si\-mca-si\-mcakara paravana cadha़ाya gaya hai mahine-do-mahine me\-m haragija nahi\-m murajha sakata। un​ho\-mne dusare mahine bhara bhi jab​ta kiya magara jaba aba bhi p​rema ke cehare para shiguph​ta़gi va bashash​ta na najara ayi taba to unako sadama hone laga। muhab​bata aura hasada ka coli-damana ka satha hai। dananatha sac​ci muhab​bata karate the magara sac​ci muhab​bata ke evaja sac​ci muhab​bata cahate bhi the। eka roja vo mamula se sabere makana para vapasa aye aura p​rema ke kamare me gaye to dekha ki vo sara jhukaye baithi hai। unako dekhate hi usane sara uthaya, haya। muhab​bata ke lahaje me\-m boli—mujhe aja na maluma k​yu\-n lala ji ki yada a gayi thi। bada़ी dera se ro rahi hu\-n।

          isi taraha tino\-m sakhiyo\-m me\-m haॅsi-majaka, boli-tholi hua karati thi। satha padha़ti\-m satha hava khane jaya karati\-m, kai mar​taba-ga\-mga s​nana ko gayi\-m। magara usa janane ghata para jo amaृtaraya ne banavaya tha। maluma hota thaki tino\-m bahane\-m hai। in​hi\-m khushiyo\-m me\-m eka mahina gujara gaya। goya vak​ta़ bhaga jata tha। magara pha़lake nahaja se kisi ki khushi kaba dekhi jati hai। eka roja pur​na apani sakhiyo\-m ke satha baga me\-m tahala-tahala ke gahane banane ke lie phula cuna rahi thi ki ekaaurata ne ake usake hatha me eka khata diya। pur​na ne har​pha pahacana। p​rema ka khata। ye likha hua tha-

          ‘p​yari pur​na, tumase mulakata karane ka bahuta ji cahata hai। magara yahaॉ\-n ghara se paॉ\-nva bahara nikalane ki mumaniyata hai। isalie majaburana yaha kha़ta likhati hu\-n। mujhe tumase eka bata kahani hai jo khata me\-m nahi\-m likha sakati। agara tuma kisi motabara aurata ko isa khata ka javaba dekara bhejo to usase jabani kaha du\-ngi। nihayata jaruribata hai।

                                               tum​hari sakhi,

                                                    p​rema

kha़ta padha़te hi pur​na ka cehara jar​da ho gaya। usako isa kha़ta ki mukh​tasara ibarata nahi\-m maluma k​yu\-n khatakane lagi। phaurana bil​lo\-m ko bulaya aura p​rema ke kha़ta ka javaba dekara udhara ravana kiya। aura usake vapasa ane me\-m adha gha\-mta jo laga vo pur​na ne nihayata becaini se kata। nau bajate-bajate bil​lo\-m vapasa ayi।

          cehara ja़r​da, ra\-mga pha़ka, badahavasa, pur​na ne usako dekhate hi pucha—k​yu\-n bil​lo\-m khairiyata tohai।

          bil​lo\-m—(pareshani tho\-mkakara) k​ya kahu\-n bahu, kucha nahi\-m banata। na jane abhi k​ya honevala hai।

          pur​na—(ghabarakara) k​ya kaha, kucha kha़ta-vata to nahi\-m diya?

          bil​lo\-m—kha़ta kahaॉ\-n se deti\-m। hamako a\-mdara bulate darati thi। dekhate hi rone lagi\-m aura kaha—bil​lo, mai\-m k​ya karu\-n, mera ji yahaॉ\-n bilakula nahi\-m lagata। mai\-m  ak​sara pichali bate\-m yada karake roya karati hu\-n। eka dina un​ho\-mne (babu dananatha) mujhe rote dekha liya, bahuta bigada़े, jhal​laye aura calate vak​ta dhamakakara kaha ki eka aurata ke do cahane vale nahi\-m ji\-mda raha sakate।

          yaha kahakara bil​lo kha़ाmosha ho gayi। pur​na ki samajha me puri bata na ayi। usane kaha—haॉ\-n-haॉ\-n, khamosha k​yu\-n hui। jal​di kaho, mera dama ruka hua hai।

          bil​lo\-m ne rokara javaba diya—bahu, aba aura k​ya kahu\-n। dananatha ki niyata buri hai। vo samajhate hai kip​rema babu amaृtaraya ki muhab​bata me\-m roti hai।

          itana sunana tha ki pur​na para sari bate\-m roshana ho gayi\-m। paira tale se mitati nikala gayi। kucha ga़shi-si a gayi। dono\-m sakhiya\-n dauda़ी hui ayi\-m, usako sa\-mbhala, puchane lagi\-m k​ya hua, k​ya hua। pur​na ne bahana karake tala diya। magara ye manahusa khabara usake kaleje me\-m tira ki taraha cubha gayi। ish​vara se dua maॉ\-ngane lagi ki aja kisi taraha vo sahi salamata ghara vapasa a jate to saba bate\-m kahati। phira kha़yala aya ki abhi unase kahana munasiba nahi\-m, ghabara jaye\-mge। isi haisa-baisa me\-m pada़ी thi। shama ke vak​ta jaba babu amaृtaraya has​be mamula kacahari se aye to dekha ki pur​na pis​taula liye khida़ki se kisi cija para nishana laga rahi hai। unako dekhate hi usane pis​taula alaga rakha diya। amaृtaraya ne ha\-nsakara kaha—shikara ke lie najare\-m kaphi hai, pis​taula para mash​ka karane ki k​ya jarurata hai।

pur​na ne apani sarasimagi ko chupaya aura boli—mujhe pis​taula calana sikha do। mai\-mne do-tina bara calaya magara nishana thika nahi\-m pada़ta।

          babu sahaba ko pur​na ke isa shauka para acam​bha hua। kahaॉ\-n to roja unako dekhate hi saba dha\-mdha choda़kara khidamata ke lie dauda़ti thi aura kahaॉ\-n aja pis​taula calane ki dhuna savara hai। magara hasino\-m ke a\-mdaja kucha nirale hote hai, ye socakara un​ho\-mne pis​taula ko hatha me\-m liya aura do-tina mar​taba nishana lagakara usako calana sikhaya। aura aba pur​na ne phayara kiya to nishana thika pada़ा। dusara phayara kiya vo bhi thika, cehara khushi se camaka gaya। pis​taula rakha diya aura shauhara ki khatira va mudarata me\-m masarupha ho gayi।

          amaृtaraya—p​yari, aja mai\-mne eka nihayata hoshiyara musav​vira bulaya hai jo tum​hari pure ka़da ki tasavira banayega।

          pur​na—meri tas​vira khi\-mcakara k​ya karoge?

          amaृtaraya—kamare me\-m lagau\-nga।

          pur​na—tuma bhi mere satha baitho।

          amaृtaraya—aja tuma apani tasavira khi\-mcava lo, phira dusare dina hama dono\-m satha baithe\-mge।

          pur​na tasavi\-mra khi\-mcane ki taiyariyaॉ\-n karane lagi। usaki dono\-m sakhiya\-n usaka banava-sa\-nvara karane lage। magara usaka dila aja baitha jata tha। kisi namaluma hadase ka khaupha़ usake dila para galiba hota jata tha। cara baje ke kariba musav​vira aya aura dedha़ ghan​te taka pur​na ki tasavira ka kha़ाka khi\-mcata raha। usake cale jane ke bada garube apha़taba ke vak​ta babu amaृtaraya has​be mamula saira ke lie jane lage to pur​na ne pucha—kahaॉ\-n ja rahe ho?

          amaृtaraya—jara saira karata au\-n, do-cara sahabo\-m se mulakata karana hai।

          pur​na—(p​yara se hatha pakada़kara) aja mere satha baga me\-m saira karo\-m। aja na jane du\-ngi।

          amaृtaraya—p​yari, mai\-m  abhi lauta ata hu\-n। dera na hogi।

pur​na—nahi\-m, mai\-m aja na jane du\-ngi।

          yaha kahakara pur​na ne shauhara ka hatha pakada़kara khi\-mca liya। vo bivi ki isa bholi ja़िda para bahuta khusha hue। gale lagakara kaha—ac​cha lo, p​yari, aja na jaye\-mge।

          bada़ी dera taka pur​na apane p​yare pati ke hatha me\-m hatha diye ravisho me\-m tahalati rahi aura unaki p​yari bato\-m ko suna-suna apane kano\-m ko khusha karati rahi। vaha bara-bara cahati ki unase dananatha ka sara bheda khola du\-n। magara phira socati ki unako kha़ाmakha takalipha hogi। jo kucha sara pe ayegi। unaki khatira se mai akele bhugata lu\-ngi।

          saira karane ke bada thoda़ी dera taka sakhiyo\-m ne ca\-mda nagame\-m alape। bada ajaॉ\-n kai sahaba mulakata ke lie a gaye। unase bate\-m hone lagi। isi asana me\-m nau bajane ko ae।babu sahaba ne khana khaya aura akhabara lekara lete। aura padha़te-padha़te so gaye। magara gariba pur​na ki ऑ\-mkho me\-mni\-mda kahaॉ\-n। dasa baje takavo unake sirahano\-m baithi eka kis​se ki kitaba padha़ti rahi। jaba tamama kunabe ke loga so gaye aura caro\-m tarapha san​nata cha gaya to use akele dara maluma hone laga। vo darate-darate uthi aura caro\-m tarapha ke daravaje ba\-mda kara liye। aba jara it​minana hua to pa\-mkha lekara shauhara ko jhalane lagi। javani ki ni\-mda, hajara jab​ta karane para bhi eka jhapaki a hi gayi। magara aisa daravana khaba dekha ki cau\-mka padi। hatha-paॉ\-nva thara-thara kaॉ\-npane lage। dila dhada़kane laga, beakh​tiyara shauhara ka hatha pakada़ा ki jaga do magara phira yaha samajhakara ki unaki p​yari ni\-mda ucata jayagi to unako takalipha़ hogi, unaka hatha choda़ diya, aba isa vak​ta usaki halata naguph​tabeha hai। cehara ja़r​da ho raha hai। dari hui nigaho\-m se idhara-udhara taka rahi hai। pat​ta bhi khada़kata hai to cau\-mka pada़ti hai। laim​pa me\-m shayada tela nahi\-m hai, usaki dhu\-ndhali roshani me\-m vo san​nata aura bhi khaupha़naka ho raha hai। tasavire\-m jo divaro\-m ko jinata de rahi hai isa vak​ta usako ghurati hui maluma hoti hai।

          yakayaka gha\-mte ki avaja kana me\-m ayi। ghada़ी ki suiyo\-m para nigaha pada़ी। baraha baje the। vo uthi ki laim​pa gula kara de। daphaatana usako kai adamiyo\-m ke paॉ\-nva ki ahata maluma hui। usaka dila baॉ\-nso uchalane laga। jhata pis​taula hatha me liya aura jaba taka vo babu amaृtaraya ko jagaye ki vo maja़buta daravaja apa hi khula gaya aura kai adami dhada़badate a\-mdara ghusa aye। pur​na ne phaurana pis​taula sara kiya। tada़ाke ki  avaja़ ayi aura usake satha hi kucha khatapata ki avaje\-m bhi sunayi di\-m। do avaje\-m pis​taula ke chutane ki aura hui। phira dhamake ki avaja़ ayi। itane me\-m babu amaृtaraya cil​laye—dauda़ो dauda़ो। cora, cora।

          hama ava़ाja ke sunate hi do adami unaki tarapha lapake magara itane me\-m daravaje para lalatena ki roshani najara ayi aura kai sipahi var​diyaॉ\-n dale kamare me\-m dakhila ho gaye। cora bhagane lage magara dono pakada़े gaye। sipahiyo\-m ne lalatena lekara ja़mina para dekha to do lashe\-m naja़ra ayi\-m, eka pur​na ki lasha thi। usako dekhate hi babu sipahiyo\-m ne gaura se dekha to cau\-mkakara bole—are, yaha to babu dananatha hai। sine me\-m goli laga gayi।

khat​ma

pur​na ko duniya se uthe eka barasa bita gaya hai। shama ka vak​ta़ hai। tha\-mdi, ruhaparavara hava cala rahi hai। suraja ki rukhasati nigahe\-m khida़ki ke daravajo\-m se babu amaृtaraya ke aras​ta-o-piras​ta kamare me\-m jati aura pur​na ki kade adama tasavira ke ka़damo\-m ka cupake se bosa lekara khisaka jati hai। sara kamara jagamaga raha hai। ramakali aura lachami jinake cehare isa vak​ta़ khile jate hai, kamare ki araisha me\-m masaruka hai aura raha-rahakara khida़ki ki ota se takati hai\-m, goya kisi ke ane ka i\-mtajara kara rahi hai। dapha़atana ramakali ne khusha hokara kaha—sakhi, vo dekho, vo a rahe hai। isa vak​ta़ unake libasa kaise khushanuma hote hai।

          eka lamahe me\-m eka nihayata khubasurata phitana phataka ke a\-mdara dakhila hui aura baramade me\-m akara ruki। usame\-m se babu amaृtaraya utare magara tanaha nahi\-m। unaka eka hatha p​rema ke hatha me\-m tha। babu amaृtaraya ka vajiha cehara go ja़r​da tha magara usa vak​ta़ ho\-mtho para eka hal​ka sa tabas​suma numayaॉ\-n tha। aura gulabi ra\-mga ki nausheravani aura dhani ra\-mga ka banarasi dopatata aura nile kinare ki reshami dhoti usa vak​ta़ una para kayamata ka phabana paida kara rahi thi। peshani para japha़rana ka tika aura gale me\-m khubasurata hara isa jebaisha ke aura bhi para laga rahe the।

          p​rema hus​na ki tasavira aura javani ki tasavira ho rahi thi। usake cehare para vaha jar​di aura nakahata, vaha pajamur​dagi aura khamoshi na thi jo pahale payi jati thi bal​ki usaka gulabi ra\-mga, usaka gadaraya hua badana, usaka anokha banava-cunava use najaro\-m me\-m khubaye dete hai। cehara kuda\-mna ki taraha damana raha hai। gulabi ra\-mga ki sab​ja hashiye ki sada़ी aura ude ra\-mga ki kalaiyo\-m para cunata ki hui kur​ti isa vak​ta़ ga़ja़ba dha rahi hai। usa para hatho\-m me\-m jada़ाu kada़े, sara para ada़ी rak​khi hui jhumara aura paॉ\-nva me\-m ja़radoji ke kama ki khushanuma juti aura bhi sone me\-m suhaga ho rahi hai। isa vaja aura isa banava se babu sahaba ko kha़ाsa ul​phata hai k​yu\-nki pur​na ki tasavira bhi yahi libasa pahale dikhayi deti hai aura najare\-m av​vala me\-m koi mush​kila se kaha sakata hai ki isa vak​ta़ p​rema hi ki surata munaakisa hokara aine me\-m yaha jobana nahi\-m dikha rahi hai।

          babu amaृtaraya ne p​rema ko usa kur​si para bitha diya jo kha़ाsa isilie bada़े takal​lupha़ se sajayi gayi thi aura musamarakara bole—p​yari p​rema, aja meri ji\-mdagi ka sabase mubaraka dina hai।

          p​rema ne pur​na ki tasavira ki tarapha़ hasarata-aluda nigaho\-m se dekhakara kaha—hamari ji\-mdagi ka k​yo\-m nahi\-m kahate।

          p​rema ne yaha javaba diya hi tha ki usaki naja़ra eka sur​kha cija़ para ja pada़ी jo pur​na ki tasavira ke nice eka khubasurata divaragiri para dhari hui thi। usane pha़r​te shauka़ se use hatha me\-m le liya, dekha to pis​taula tha।

          babu amaृtaraya ne giri hui avaja़ me\-m kaha—ye p​yari pur​na ki akhiri yadagara hai। usa devi ne isi se meri jana bacayi thi।

          ye kahate-kahate avaja़ kapa\-nne lagi aura ऑ\-mkho me\-m ऑ\-msu dabadaba aye।

          ye sunakara p​rema ne usa pis​taula ka bosa liya aura phira bada़े adaba ke satha usako usi mukama para rakha diya।
