chapter 30

"Isse tumhe kya faida hoga?" Hasan jaan na chahta tha."Koi faida nahi, lekin main yeh faida ke liye nahi kar raha.""Damn it, Salar! Tum is musibat mein kyun par rahe ho aur woh bhi Waseem ki behan ke liye.."Salar ne uski baat kaat di. "Bas mujhe yeh batao ke tum meri madad karoge ya nahi? Baaki cheezon ki fikr mat karo.""Teek hai, main tumhari madad karunga, main tumhe mana nahi kar raha. Magar tumhe dobara sochna chahiye, kyunki yeh bohot khatarnak qadam hai. Hasan ne aakhir haar maan li."Maine soch liya hai. Ab mujhe tafseelat batao," Salar ab relaxed lag raha tha. Usne kuch French fries munh mein daal liye."Ek aur baat-agar tumhare walidain ko pata chal gaya to?""Unhe nahi pata chalega-woh yahan nahi hain, woh Karachi mein hain aur kuch dinon tak wahan rahenge. Agar woh yahan hote to mujhe mushkil hoti," Salar ne Hasan ko tasalli dene ki koshish ki. Wah dono fries khaate rahe, magar Hasan kal dimaag kahin aur tha. Salar ko is baat ki parwaah nahi thi. Hasan halat ke bare mein fikrmand nahi tha-woh behtareen strategy soch raha tha. Salar ko Hasan ke bare mein koi khauf nahi tha: woh Salar ka sabse achha dost thaHasan ne saari tayyariyan bohot smoothly kar li thi. Salar ne usse kuch paise diye aur teen gawahon ka bandobast kar liya gaya, jab ke woh khud chautha gawah tha. Nikah registrar ko is pure maamle mein kuch garbar lag rahi thi, magar ek achi fees ke saath saath usse ek saaf dhamki bhi di gayi, aur usne chup chap maan liya.Dopahar ke akhir mein Hasan registrar aur gawahon ke sath aaya. Sab Salar ke kamre mein chale gaye aur nikah ke papers fill out kiye gaye. Salar ne pehle se Imama ko inform kar diya tha aur muqarrar waqt par telephone par nikah nama parha gaya. Salar ne maid ke zariye nikah ke forms Imama ko bhej diye. Jaise hi usne papers haasil kiye, Imama ne unhein foran sign kar diya aur wapas Salar ko bhej diya. Maid unhein wapas le aayi magar wo bohot curious thi-yeh log Salar ke kamre mein kaun the? Yeh kya kar rahe the? Yeh papers kya the jo Imama ne sign kiye?Usko shak tha ke Salar aur Imama ki shaadi ho rahi thi, magar wo apni curiosity ko control nahi kar saki. Papers Salar ko dete hue, usne masoomiyat se poocha, "Salar Saab, yeh papers kya hain?""Yeh tumhe kaise concern karte hain? Apna kaam karo," Salar ne usse sakhti se jawab diya. "Aur yeh baat bohot achi tarah se samajh lo ke tumne yeh baat kisi se nahi kami. Apne munh band rakho-yeh tumhare liye behtareen hoga," usne usse sakhti se dhamkaya."Main kyun baat karti, sahab? Main to bas pooch rahi thi. Aap be fikar rahein Salar Sahib, main kisi se kuch nahi kahungi," wo dari hui thiJaisa ke tha, Salar ka andaz waise bhi kafi sakht aur mukhtasir tha aur wo usse dar kar baat karti thi. Usne usse imperiously ishara kiya ke nikal jao. Usse maid ke sabko batane ki fikr nahi thi-agar wo batati bhi, to kya?"Please milo Jalal se dobara. please," Imama Salar se phone pe darkhwast kar rahi thi.Salar iski darkhwast se chir chuka tha. "Imama, wo tumse shaadi nahi karna chahta-usne yeh kitni baar kaha hai. Tum kyun nahi samajh rahi ke usse baat karne ka koi faida nahi? Usne kaha ke uske walidain chahte hain ke wo mangni kar le...""Wo jhoot bol raha hai," Imama ne mudakhlat ki, "sirf is liye ke main usse dobara rabta na karun. Uske walidain itni jaldi uski mangni nahi kara sakte.""Agar wo tumse shaadi nahi karna chahta; tumse rabta nahi karna chahta, toh tum apna waqt kyun barbad kar rahi ho uspar?""Kyunke meri kismat mein yahi hai," wo ro rahi thi."Iska kya matlab hai?""Iska koi matlab nahi...tum nahi samjhoge. Bas jaake usse kaho ke meri madad kare. Wo Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) ko itna izzat deta hai, usse kaho ke Nabi (PBUH) ke liye mujhse shaadi kar le." Wo zaar zaar ro rahi thi.    Continue ✍️✍️✍️
