chapter 28

"To phir tumhe aisi ladki se shaadi kyun karni chahiye? Tumhe apne liye kisi aur ko dhoondna behtar hoga," usne jawab diya."Main tumhari zindagi ko barbaad hone nahi dena chahta," usne kaha."Meri zindagi barbaad?!" usne hassi bhari awaaz mein kaha. "Kis zindagi ki baat kar rahe ho? Woh zindagi jisme log duniyavi daulat ke liye apne imaan ko bech dete hain?""Aapna tarz-e-amal theek rakho! Tumhe kis tarah se bol rahe ho, jaise kisi ke baare mein jo chahe bol do, Asjad ne use daanta."Main us insaan ka samman nahi kar sakta jo logon ko gumraah kar raha hai," usne sakhti se kaha"Tumhari umar mein log apni shanakht ke baare mein confused ho jaate hain. Jab tum bare ho jaoge, tab samajhoge ke hum sahi raste par hain ya galat par," Asjad ne apni awaaz ko shaant kiya aur use samjhane ki koshish ki."Agar tum logon ko lagta hai ke main galat hoon, to mujhe akela chhod do na. Main kyun bandi banaya gaya hoon yahan? Agar tumhe yakeen hai ke tumhara mazhab sahi hai, to mujhe apni raah pe chalne do..." Imama ne kaha."Agar koi itna qareebi apne aap ko tabah karne par tula hua hai, aur woh bhi ek ladki, to hum use apne aap ko tabah hone ke liye chhod nahi sakte. Imama, is maamle ki nazakat ko samjho-tumhari family aur unki tamam cheezein tumhari wajah se khatre mein hain," Asjad ne kaha."Mujhse kuch bhi khatre mein nahi hai... phir bhi, mujhe kyun farq padega? Kyun main unke mazhab ke liye jahannum mein jaun ya apne mazhab ko unke liye dhajjiyan udaun? Asjad, main tum sab ke saath is gumrahi ke raste par nahi chal sakti-mujhe apne marzi ke raaste par jaane do," Imama ki awaaz sakht thi"Aur agar tum mujhe majboor karke shaadi karwa bhi loge, to tumhe iska koi faida nahi hoga: main tumhari asli biwi nahi banungi. Main tum par wafadar nahi rahungi. Main jab mauka milega, bhag jaungi... tum mujhe kitna bhi qaid kar lo ya rakho, kab tak? Aur main tumhare bachchon ko bhi le jaungi-tum unhe kabhi nahi dekh paoge." usne unke future ka daraawana manzar paint karne ki koshish ki."Agar main tumhara jagah hota, to kabhi bhi Imama Hashim jaisi ladki se shaadi nahi karta: yeh bilkul nuqsan hoga, aur bewaqoofi ki inteha. Tumhe abhi bhi mauka hai inkaar karne ka-tumhara future khatre mein hai. Asjad, iss rishte se mana kar do; Uncle Azam ko bata do ke tum mujhse shaadi nahi kana chahte. Ya phir kahin chale jao aur jab yeh maamla sulajh jaye tab wapas aao.""Mujhe yeh bakwas mashwara dena band karo: Mein tumhe kabhi nahi chhodungi. Aur na hi mein is rishte se hatne ya ghar se bhaagne wali hoon. Tum hi wo shakhs ho jisse mein shadi karungi. Ab yeh hamare ghar ki izzat aur naam ka sawal hai. Agar tumhe pata hota ke agar yeh shadi radd ho gayi to humein kitni nuqsanat uthani parengi, to tum aise pagal khayalat nahi laate. Biwi banne ki ya ghar se bhaagne ki baat baad mein dekhi jayegi. Mein tumhari tabiyat ache se janti hoon-tumhe bekaar mein tang karne ki koi adat nahi hai-khas tor par mujhe jise tum pyaar karte ho,' Asjad apne aap se khush hokar khatam kiya.Tum ghalat samajh rahe ho, Asjad. Mein kabhi tumse pyaar nahi kiya aur khas tor par jab se mein ne Islam qabool kiya hai, mein ne apna rishta tumse khatam kar diya hai. Ab tum meri zindagi mein kahin bhi nahi ho. Agar mein apne ghar walon ke liye masla ban sakti hoon, to tumhe aur tumhare ghar walon ko kya masail aane wale hain-apne aap ko bewaqoof mat samjho. Hum saath nahi ho sakte: mein tumhare ghar walon ka hissa nahi ban sakti, usne tham kar kaha, phir jaari rahi."Hum mein bara faasla hai, Asjad-hum itne door hain ke mein tumhe dekh bhi nahi sakti. Aur mein is faasle ko mitane ke liye tayyar nahi hoon. Mein sirf tumse shadi karne ke liye tayyar nahi hoon, Imama ne kaha.Asjad ke rang badal gaye jab usne imama ko dekha aur suna.'Kya tum meri madad kar sakte ho?""Kya tumhe lagta hai ke mein is waqt kya kar raha hoon?' Salar ne poochaDoosri taraf se khamoshi thi; phir usne kaha, 'Kya tum Lahore ja kar Jalal se mil sakte ho?                      .......♡.......Salar ne palkein thodi der ke liye band kar li. "Kyun?"Imama ki awaz kam thi, aansuon se bhari hui. 'Mere liye uski taraf se guzarish karne ke liye-ke mujhse shadi kar le. Agar hamesha ke liye nahi, to kam az kam temporary tor par-mujhe is ghar se nikalna hai aur uske bina mujhe yeh mumkin nahi hai. Bas use keh dena ke nikah kar le."Tum usse phone par contact mein ho, to phir khud hi kyun nahi kehti usse?' Salar ne aloo ke crisps khaate hue kaha.'Maine kiya, usne zyada aansuon se jawab diya. "Usne mana kar diya.Bohat afsos hai, Salar ne kaha.To yeh to ek tarfa mohabbat hai.""Nahi.'To phir usne kyun mana kar diya?"Tumhe is se kya lena dena?" uski narazgi thi.'Phir mujhe usse baat karne ke liye itna door kyun jaana hai? Tum use dobara call kar sakti bo''Magar woh mujhse baat nahi karta, woh phone nahi uthata aur hospital mein kisi se baat nahi karta. Woh mujh se duri bana ke rakhta hai.To phir tum uske peeche kyun bhaag rahe ho? Clearly, woh tumhe pyaar nahi karta.Tum is baat ko samajh nahi sakte-bas meri madad kar do, Wahan ja kar usse meri halat batao-woh mujh se aisa nahi kar sakta.""Aur agar woh mujhe entertain karne se inkaar kar de-phir?"Tum phir bhi koshish kar sakte ho-kam az kam ek baar. Shayad is musibat se koi raasta nikal aaye."Salar ke honton par ek muskurahat aayi. Use Imama ki mushkilat bohat dilchasp lag rahi thi. Woh apna phone band kar ke uski musibat par sochne laga jab ke crisps kha raha tha. Usko Imama ki situation mein aur gehraai se shamil hona lag raha tha-yeh uski zindagi ka sab se bada adventure lag raha tha: pehle Imama ko cell phone smuggle karna, ab uske boyfriend Jalal se contact karna. Imama ne Salar ko Jalal ke ghar aur hospital ke bare mein tafseel se bataya tha. Ab Salar soch raha tha ke woh Jalal ko kya kahay ga....................... Continue ✍️✍️✍️
