PROLOGUE
Mai Raghav ka waqt hu. In 5 saalo mai maine bohut karib se Raghav ko
dekha hai, mai Raghav ke sath humesha tha, har choti khushi se lekar
bare gam tak.

1st December, Aaj Dream NGO ka opening ceremony hai. Halaki mai badal
chuka hu pad Raghav aaj bhi mujhse naraj hai, kya kadu jo hua uske
sath, jo maine kiya uske sath. Woh mujhse humesha naraj he rahega.

Raghav ko sav dund raahe hai pad woh Institute ke terrace mai betha
hai. Raghav khush hai aaj kyuki uska sapna puda hua. Raghav ka
Personal Assistant Akash jo Raghav ka best friend bhi hai jo zindagi
ke gam mai humesha nashe mai rehta hai, Raghav ke pash aakar drink
offer kadta hai.
Aaj mai Akash ko sav batane wala hu pad Raghav ko niche bechne ke baad.
Akash Raghav ke pash aagaya.

Akash: Tu idar hai or bhavi(Raghav’s wife)tujhe dund rahi hai.
Raghav: Haa bash! Ja he raha hu. Aaj subha-subha he suru kad diya?
Akash: Aaj toh tu bhi piyega, saale!
Raghav: Maine peena chod diya hai. Or, zindagi itna ghumati hai ki,
nashe ki kya jarurat.
Akash: Tu asa nahi tha or sach bolu bhai aaj saalo baat tere chehre
pad sukoon najar aaraha hai.

‘ Akash bohut emotional hai. ‘

Raghav: Kyu? Roj nahi najar aata tha.
Akash: Bhavi ne bataya ki aaj bina kuch khaye subha-subha nikal gaya tu.
Raghav:Khalunga! Accha mai jata hu niche tu bhi aaja. Tu jaldi khatam
kadke aajaana.
Akash: Thik hai.

‘ Raghav jaa raha hai, mujhe batana hai sav Akash ko. ‘
Raghav ka dard koi nahi janta mere siva, Raghav kaise badla kyu badla
mujhe sav pata hai.
Or, aaj Akash mujhse puch bhi raha hai nashe mai Raghav ka puda sach.

‘ Or mai batane ja raha hu. ‘

CHAPTER 1

Ye karib 5 saal pehle ki baat hai Akash. Raghav Sinha jo Assam mai
rehta tha or ek high class family se relate kadta tha jisko life ki
koi fikar nahi hoti thi jo humesha flirt kadne mai busy rehta tha,
uske family mai sirf uske Mom and Dad the, Raghav or uski Mom ke bich
jada jamti nahi thi or Dad jada tar tour peh rehte the toh Raghav ko
ek baap ka pyaar mil na saka.
Raghav social networking mai bhi tha or woh roj nayi nayi ladkiyo ke
sath dosti kadta or flirt kadta tha pad relationship mai nahi aata tha
kyuki uska kehna tha ladkiyo ka dil todna savse bara paap hai.

ACT I
ASSAM, KARIMGANJ

1
‘ Ek din, Raghav facebook mai kuch friend requests bejh raha tha unme
se ek ladki thi jisko ushne bina uska profile check kade bager friend
request bejha. Online rehne ke kaaran ush ladki neh jat se accept bhi
kad diya. Raghav ne profile picture check kiya toh ushe woh ladki
flirt material lagi. Raghav bina time waste kade conversation start
kadta hai… ‘
Raghav Sinha: Hi! Thanks for accepting.
Prity Sinha: Hello! You’re welcome. Got to go!
Raghav Sinha: (Gusse mai) Okay! Leave.
‘ Pehle he conversation mai Raghav ko laga ki ish ladki mai bohut
attitude bara hua hai, kisi aamir khandan se hogi, baap ki bigdi beti.
Ushi raat ek shadi thi jisme Raghav ki family ko bhi invite kiya gaya
tha toh Raghav nakhre kad raha tha headache ka kyuki Raghav ko shadiya
pasand nahi thi pad uski Mom Raghav ko akele ghar mai rehne nahi deti
thi toh Raghav bechara nakhre kadke bhi shadi mai chala jata hai. ‘

2
‘ Shadi mai jate waqt bich raste mai Raghav ko loo aata hai or public
toilet kuch he dur mai tha toh Modi ji ki Yojna ke tahat public toilet
mai loo kad aata hai, or aate waqt uski najar ek ladki pad par jaati
hai jiske sath thodi he der pehle ushne chat kiya tha, woh ladki 5.5
inch lambi, lambe baal or gora sa rang tha or ushne blue frock pehna
tha or high heels lagaya tha or ek luxary car mai bethke ushi raste se
hokar jaa rahi thi. ‘
‘ Shadi ke destination mai pohuchne ke baad, parking side mai Raghav
dekhta hai ki same car jishme facebook wali ladki bethi thi wahi car
parking side mai hai. Toh Raghav khush hota hai ush ladki ko sabak
sikhane ke liye. Raghav ush car ke saare tyres ke hawa chod deta hai
or aaram se family ko join kadta hai. Pad jav Raghav ek aunty ko ushi
car mai bethe hua dekhta hai toh Raghav sochta hai usse galat femi
hogayi. Raghav shadi mai aakar bore ho chuka tha or ushe bhuk bhi lag
rahi thi toh woh waiter ko bulata hai or jaise he ek waitress aati hai
toh Raghav chok jata hai ush facebook wali ladki ko waitress ke
costume mai dekhke . ‘
‘ Raghav puchta hai Prity se… ‘
Raghav: Aaj tumne mujhe ignore kiya tha or woh bhi ek waitress hoke.
Prity: What do you need sir?
Raghav: High heels and blue frock and all huh?
Prity: Sir, menu mai high heels and blue frock available nahi hai.
Raghav: (gusse mai) samosas and a soft drink.
Prity:Okay! Sir.

‘ Order leke jav Prity aati hai toh Raghav tray ko niche gira deta hai
or tissue se pant pochne ki acting kadta hai or gali dekar bolta hai
waitress ka job kadna nahi aata hai toh kadti kyu ho, ushi waqt maalik
aata hai, Prity ko aandar jau bolta hai datke, tav Raghav ush Maalik
se puchta hai, ush Maalik ka naam Shiv Sinha tha or Raghav ke Dad ka
best friend tha toh Raghav ush ko Shiv uncle kehkar bulata tha. ‘
Raghav: Ye hai kaun uncle? Isko nikala kyu nahi job se?
Shiv:Ye Prity hai, bechari bohut gaarib hai, ghar mai bhuri maa, bohut
mehenti hai apne kaam ko lekar. Ek waqt Prity ke papa bohut bare
business man hua kadte the pad business mai heavy loss ke karan heart
attack se dihant hogaya. Sav kuch girwi hai, iske karan bechari Prity
puda din-raat kaam kadti hai. Isiliye beta isko nahi nikal sakta.
Raghav: Or uski maa?
Shiv: Maa bhi kaam kadti hai humare ghar kitchen ka.
Raghav: Sunke bura laga, uncle.
‘ Prity ka sach janne ke baad Raghav emotional hogaya or Prity ko
sorry bolne ke liye Prity ko dundne laga, Prity terrace mai bethi thi
or ro rahi thi. Raghav ek rose lekar jaata hai uske samne, tav Prity
bolti hai Raghav se… ‘
Prity:Tumhe kya laga, rose dene se tumne jo kiya woh bhul jawungi.
Raghav:Nahi! Mai bash sorry bolne aaya hu, tumhe dekke asa nahi lagta
ki tumhare ish dazzling roop ke piche asa ek dard chupa hoga.
Prity: Tum aamir log branded kapdo or luxary car se decide kadte hai
ek insaan ki aasliyat. Tumhari galti nahi hai.
Raghav: Haa mujhse galti hogayi.
Prity: Aamiri ka bhoot itna bhi sar pad na rakho ki tum khud bhul jawo
tum bhi ek insaan ho.
Raghav: Itna toh mat sunawo, aab maf bhi kardo.
Prity: Haa, maaf kiya.
Raghav: Toh, friends?
Prity: Paise se kharidna mat, bash.
Raghav: Mai dosto ko paiso se nahi kharidta.
Prity: Toh fir thik hai.

‘ Jav Prity waitress ke costume mai thi tav kuch or najar aarahi thi
or jav short dress or high heels pehenke car mai bethi thi tav kuch
or. Raghav soch raha tha duniya mai kapdo ki bohut ehmiyaat hai isse
hum bhul jaate hai ki un kapdo ke piche konsa insaan chupa hai. Agar
ladki puda bandan dakke chale toh sidi-sadi si or agar short dress
pehne toh attitude dikhane wali si. Pad jav waitress ke dress mai
Raghav ne dekha toh Prity ka asli chehra samne aaya or usse Raghav ko
ye pata chala ki Insaan ki aasliyaat kapdo se nahi kaam se pata chalti
hai. ‘
‘ Shadi khatam hota hai or jaate samay Shiv khud apne car mai betha ke
Prity or uski Maa ko ghar chodne jaa rahe the. Jaate waqt, Raghav
Prity ko bye bolta hai tav uski Mom Raghav se kehti hai… ‘

Ragahv’s Mom:Apne barabar ke logon ke sath dosti kadna naki gaaribo
se, aisi ladkiya acchi tarah se janti hai aamir ladko ko kaise fasate
hai.
Raghav: Prity ke papa humshe bhi jada aamir the, Mom.
Raghav’s Mom: Toh kya? Abhi toh nahi hai.
Raghav: Agar mai langda hojaunga toh aap mujhe chod dengi?
Raghav’s Mom: Nahi! Kavi nahi.
Raghav: Thik waise he mai or Prity dost hai, mai Prity ko kishi halat
mai nahi chodunga.
Ragahv’s Mom: Kavse jante ho?
Raghav: Insaan ko jaanne ke liye ek pal he kafi hai, aapne toh mujhe 9
mahine pet ke aandar rakha fir bhi jan na saki.
Raghav’s Mom: Jo kadna hai kado.
‘ Raghav kahi na kahi Prity ke wajhe se zindagi ke bare mai jan raha
tha pad woh tav sirf 18 ka tha toh woh young tha. ‘
‘ Har ek cheez janne pehchanne ka ek waqt hota hai, Raghav ka waqt
aachuka tha. ‘

Aagle din, subha 7:30 am ko, Prity ka message aata hai Raghav ko facebook mai.
Prity: Hey! Good morning. 7:30 am
Raghav: (Blushing) Kal ke liye sorry firse. 7:45 am
Prity: Mai bhul gayi. 7:49 am
Raghav: Mujhe yaad hai. Aaj ka kya plan hai? 7:50 am
Prity: Wahi! Cafe mai. 7:52 am
Raghav: Leave nahi le sakti aaj. 7:53 am
Prity: Tum malik hote to le leti. 7:54 am
Raghav: Konsa cafe? 7:55 am
Prity: Khud pata kadlo, dekhti hu mai. 7:59 am
Raghav: Dare hai toh accept kiya. Waise bhi mai bohut daring hu. 8:01 am
Prity: Okay! Pad kisise puchna mat. Time to leave. Bye! 8:10 am

‘ Raghav ko lagta tha pehle woh ashani se cafe ka paata facebook se
pata kad lega pad Prity ne facebook se work details remove kad diya
tha. Raghav naasta kiye bina paata dundne mai lag gaya or dushri taraf
Raghav ki Maa chilla rahi thi pad woh sun nahi raha tha. ‘

4  Raghav bina kuch khaye or bina kuch kaahe bike mai chadke savse pehle
Shiv ke ghar jaata hai or Shiv ko dundta hai, tav ek ladki nikalti hai
ghar se or puchti hai…

Mitali: Kya hua? Papa(Shiv) ko kyu dund raahe ho?
Raghav: Unshe kuch kaam tha.
Mitali: Mujhe bolo, mai kad deti hu.
Raghav:Tum mujhe janti ho kya?
Mitali: Haa! Kal raat dekha tha, papa ke best friend ke bete ho nuh tum?
Raghav: Haa! Mujhe darashal kal jitne waitress shadi mai kaam kad
raahe the unki list chahiye, sakogi dena?
Mitali: Jarur! Chalo mere room mai.
Raghav: Thik hai chalo, maine kuch khaya bhi nahi hai.
Mitali: Mai leke aati hu, tum side jake left mere room mai chale jau.

‘ Mitali kuch khane ke liye lene kitchen mai chali jaati hai tav
Mitali ke bed pad ek slam book pada hota hai, ush slam book se Raghav
ko #BESTIE bolke likha ek slam jaha pad Prity ke cafe ka paata or
bohut saare information pata chal jata hai or jante he Raghav cafe ki
or chal padta hai. ‘
‘ Mitali khane ka tray lekar aandar aati hai toh Raghav ka cell phone
pati hai, Mitali Cell phone ka pattern khol nahi pati hai. Mitali Cell
phone ko gaalo se lagakar feel kadti hai, Mitali ki dimagi halat kuch
thik nahi thi.Tavi Shiv aata hai room ke aandar or Mitali ko haste hua
dekhte hai… ‘
‘ Shiv Mitali se puchta hai… ‘
Shiv:Aaj mere beti itna khush kyu hai?
Mitali: (Haske phone dikhakar)Mere liye Raghav ne chodkar gaya hai.
Shiv: (Display on kadke)Raghav ka phone. Nahi beta bhul gaya hoga
lejana. De do mujhe…
Mitali: Nahi dungi.
‘ Shiv Mitali se kaise-kaise kadke phone le leta hai. ‘

‘ 9:20 pm, Raghav cafe mai pohucha or helmet na khole table mai beth
jaata hai, cafe ka baand kadne ka time ho chuka tha or kafi raat jo
chuki thi, Prity Raghav ke pash aati hai or bolti hai ‘Sir’ cafe band
kadne ka time hogaya hai. tav Raghav helmet utharke suprised kadta hai
Prity ko or kehta hai. ‘
Raghav: Tumhe kya laga tha mai daring nahi hu?
Prity: Kahi-na-kahi mujhe laga tha tum he ho helmet ke piche.
Raghav: Haha! Jo bhi ho dare toh puda kiya maine.
Prity: Kaha se mila address waise?
Raghav: Tumhari best friend Mitali se.
Prity: Kya? Tumne pucha usse.
Raghav: Chok kyu rahi ho? woh tumhari best hai nuh or maine uske ek
slam book se pata kiya.
Prity: Bacchpan mai ek bar doobte hua bachaya tha tavse mujhe woh apna
best friend manti hai, uski dimagi halat thik nahi hai.
Raghav: Asa nahi ho sakta, dikhne mai toh bohut acchi hai or normal hai.
Prity:(haskar) Aamir hai isliye.
Raghav: Aab yaha aamiri kaha se aayi?
Prity: Aamir log pagal hone se bhi unki aamiri ush pagalpan ko chupa deti hai.
Raghav: Tumhe Philosopher hona chahiye tha.
Prity: Hehe! Tumhara phone thoda do call kadna hai ‘ Maa ‘ ko, thoda
late hojaungi bolkar. Mere phone mai charge nahi hai.
Raghav:(pocket check kadke) Phone kaha gira diya. Sayed Mitali ke ghar.
Prity: Galat kiya, aab Mitali kuch or samjegi dekhna.
Raghav: Kal le lunga.
Prity: Kuch kaam hai mujhe aandar kitchen mai, tum yaha betho mai 5
minutes mai aati hu.
Raghav: Thik hai jaldi aana.

‘ Prity 5 minutes baad bhi nahi aati hai toh Raghav aandar chala jaata
hai. Raghav Prity ko bartaan dote hua dekhta hai toh woh bhi ek bartan
pakadke dhone ki kossis kadta hai. Pad Prity ne ushe dhone nahi diya
tha or bola ki -Tumpe ye suit nahi kadega.’

Raghav: Mai toh bash help kad raha tha, jaldi khatam hojaye or hum
bethke baat kade kuch khaye, waise maine kuch nahi khaya subha se,
bohut bhuk lag rahi hai.
Prity: Tumhe mai he kyu mili, mai toh tumhe time tak nahi de pati. Or,
tumne mere waaje se kuch nahi khaya. Waise, tumhari himmat kaise hui
kuch bhi na khake ghar se nikalne ki. Noodles khawoge nuh? Bana deti
hu.
Raghav: Kitna ashan hai kehna, agar time de nahi pati toh der raat tak
ek ladke ke sath aakele cafe mai nahi hoti. Haa, bana do waise bhi
bhuk lagne se kuch bhi khadeta hu.

‘ Khane ke baad cafe baand kadke Raghav bike nikalta hai jaane ke liye tav… ‘

Raghav: Mere bike peh bohut jagah hai tumhare liye.
Prity: Kitno ke liye?
Raghav: Agar tum bethogi toh tum pehli hogi.
Raghav: Jutha kahi ka.

‘Prity ko ghar chodne ke baad Raghav bhi apne ghar chala jaata hai. ‘

6   Dushre din, subha ko Raghav jav uthta hai tav samne Mitali ko pata hai
or Raghav chok jaata hai.

Raghav: Kisi ke room mai subha subha nahi ghuste.
Mitali: Sorry! Mai bash tumhara cell phone dene aayi thi papa ke sath.
Raghav: Haa, kal achanak ek kaam yaad aagaya tha toh cell phone bhi
bhul gaya or tumhe bye bolna bhi.
Mitali: Koi baat nahi tum toh apne ho.
Raghav: Hmm. Mai fresh hokar aata hu.
Mitali: (Chair mai bethkar) Raghav, Mai tumhara laptop use kad sakti hu kya?
Raghav: (Bathroom mai rehkar) Haa, kado.

‘ Mitali laptop on kadke dekh rahi thi or ushne wifi on kiya or url
mai www.facebook.com likha, raat ko Raghav facebook se apna account
log out kadna bhul gaya tha, or Mitali Raghav ke pure msgs dekh leti
hai, khash kadke Prity or Raghav ke conversations, dekhne ke baad
Mitali jealous feel kadti hai, Prity ko block kad deti hai facebook se
or laptop baand kadke niche hall mai chali jaati hai. ‘
Raghav nahakar bahar aata hai toh Mitali ko nahi paata hai, niche hall
mai chala jaata hai waha bhi nahi paata or apne Maa se puchta hai –
Mitali aayi thi nuh Maa, kaha gayi? ‘
‘Raghav ki Mom jawav deti hai -Haa, aayi thi pad acchanak Mitali ko
sayed college se call aaya toh urgently jana pada. ‘

‘ Dushri or Mitali Shiv ko kehkar Prity ko job se nikal deti hai, Shiv
na chahkar bhi Mitali ke kehne pad Prity ko job se nikal deta hai or
jab Prity ko ye pata chalta hai tav Prity Mitali ke ghar aati hai or
puchti hai. ‘
Prity: (Aankhein num hokar)Mujhse kya bhul hui uncle jo mujhe job se
nikal diya?
Shiv: (Shir jukha kar) Majboori.
Mitali: Khud galti kadti ho or janne aayi ho kya kiya hai tumne.
Prity: Maine konsi galti ki hai?
Mitali: Raat bhar ek aanjan ladke ke sath cafe ke aandar raat bitane ki galti.
Prity: Kisne kaha?
Mitali: Raghav, kaho toh ushe bhi bula deti hu.
Prity: Jarurat nahi.

‘ Prity apne ghar aakar, aamiro ke bhoj taale dabne ke baad uth nahi
paa rahi thi, Prity ki Maa bhi ghar aachuki thi pad Prity ko ase
sanskar diye the ki Prity ko na datke ushe samja rahi thi. ‘

Prity’s Mom: ” Insaano ki khushiya bohut cheezo mai hai beta, un
khusiyo ke liye tum aandi mat hojana, agar andi hojaugi toh kichar mai
girne se tumhe koi rok nahi payega.” Mujhe pata hai tumne Raghav ke
sath dosti ki hai or sath he tumhare upar mujhe puda biswas bhi hai.
Prity: Sorry! Maa. Or aisa kavi bhi nahi hoga. Ush Raghav ko mai maaf
nahi kadungi.
Prity’s Mom: ” Kavi pachtana mat,har ek ko mafi de deni chahiye pad
bhulna nahi hai, Tum agar khud ka chhata bhul jati ho lejana toh bheeg
lene mai he acchai hai. ” Isiliye toh kehti rehti hu shadi kadlo.
Shadi kad logi toh tumhe mujhe khilane ki koi jaruraat nahi hogi.
Tumhe kaam bhi nahi kadna padega.
Prity: Aisa mat bolo Maa, mai apko aakela nahi chodungi kavi bhi,
Khudka hotel pehle kholungi tav jaake shadi ke bare sochungi.
Prity’s Mom: Aisa hai toh hum dono milke mehnat kadenge or jarur
kholenge hotel pad business ka koi bharosa nahi kav kya hojaye.
” Dushro ke sahare jeena hai business ka matlav. ”
Prity: Haa! Maa. Pad kya kade?
Prity’s Mom: “Khudke daam peh sapne pude kado jo tum chahte ho, harne
se bhi uthne ki kossis kad pawogi aisa kadogi toh. ”

‘ Baat chit khatam kadne ke baad Prity thoda relaxed hoti hai or
Raghav ko call kadti hai… ‘
‘ Hello! Raghav? ‘
‘ Hello! Prity…Kaha ho cafe mai bhi nahi ho. ‘
‘ Nikal diya! ‘
(shocked)’ Kya? Pad kyu nikala woh toh bolo. ‘
‘ Park mai milo Raghav waha milke batati hu. ‘

9
‘ 15 minutes baad park mai aane ke baad Raghav ko pata chalta hai ki
cafe mai der raat tak uske sath rehne ke kaaran nikal diya, Prity
confused hoti hai ek baat se or puchti hai… ‘
‘ Mitali ko kaise pata chala ki mai or tum kal raat ek sath the? ‘
‘ Aaj subha ko aayi thi humare ghar or mere kamre mai aake beth gayi
thi or mai chok gaya tha pad maine ushe kuch nahi bataya. ‘
‘ Subha ko aayi thi iska matlav subha ko he pata chala hoga ushe. ‘
‘ Phone check kadke – Aare tumhara account lock hai kya? ‘
‘ Facebook acccount? Nahi toh. Oh! Iska matlav ushne mujhe tumhare
account se blocked kad rakha hai. ‘
‘ Woh kyu kadegi aisa? Ushne mera laptop used kiya tha net surf kadne
ke liye or haa maine facebook se apna account log out nahi kiya tha. ‘
(gusse mai)’ Duffer! Mujhe pata tha, Tumhari ek galti neh meri zindagi
barbaad kad di, Mujhse baat mat kadna. ‘
‘ Prity uthke chali jaati hai waha se or Raghav dekhta reh jaata hai. ‘
‘ 7 din beet jaate hai or Raghav Prity ke maafi ka intezaar kad raha tha. ‘
‘ Prity ko dekhene waale aate hai or Prity ko pasand kadte hai or
dushri taraf Mitali Raghav ke kaariv aarahi thi pad Raghav kisise baat
kadna bhi nahi chahta tha, humesha room mai betha smoking, drinking
kadta rehta tha. Halat khadav kad rakhi thi. Itna ego tha Raghav mai
or aisa bol sakte hai ki ushe sorry tak bolna nahi aata tha. Raghav
fir ek bar phirse zindagi se bathak raha tha or apne zimmedariyo se. ‘
Prity ek club mai kaam kadne lagi or woh khush thi ki woh firse kamane
lagi thi. ‘

10
‘ Ek din, jab Raghav peete-peete ushi club mai aata hai birthday
celebrate kadne tav uski najar Prity par parti hai. Prity ko dekhkar
Raghav sad hojata hai or chair peh chad kar Mic peh bolta hai- Aaj
mera 19th Birthday hai dosto pad aaj mai khush nahi hu. ‘
‘ kyu kyu kyu? ‘(sav log puchte hai)
‘ Kyuki, mujhe maafi mangni nahi aati or iske kaaran mujhe maafi nahi
mili abhi tak. ‘
‘ Kisse? ‘
‘ Ek ladki se. ‘

‘ Raghav chair se gir jaata hai or ushe dekhkar Prity muh ferti hai.
Raghav accha gaata tha or usdin ‘ Karaoke Night ‘ tha jahapar
instrumental track mai log perform kadte hai. Toh Raghav gaana suru
kadta hai… ‘

‘Haa hoagyi galti mujhse mai janta hu…..
Galti toh savse hoti hai, galti mujhse bhi hogayi…
Aab maf bhi karde mujhe… ‘
‘ Gaana khatam hota hai or Prity pash aake Raghav se bolti hai… ‘
Prity: Tumhe kya laga… Gaana ga doge toh maaf kad dungi or mann
jawungi. Mai darashal gussa nahi thi, Mai tumhe apni asli jagah
dikhana chahti thi. ” Insaan kitna bhi aamir ho jaaye feelings savki
same hoti hai or uski kadar har kisi ko kadni chahiye. ”
Raghav: Or, maine sikh liya kya?
Prity: Kafi sikh liya pehle se jada peena.
Raghav: ” Peena toh bash bahana hai iska kaam toh sirf gaam bhulana hai. ”
Prity: ” Zindagi se jada nashe dar cheez tumhe nahi miligi, ye tumhe
itna ghumayegi ki tum nasha kadna he bhul jawoge ek din. ”
Raghav: Tumhe Philosopher hona chahiye tha.
Raghav khush hojata hai or khushi se apna birthday celebrate kadta hai.
Ghar lotte waqt, Prity Raghav se puchti hai baaton-baaton mai…
Prity: Tumhara aim kya hai Raghav?
Raghav: Mera toh bash khulke jeena.
Prity: Mera matlav aage jakar kya kadne wale ho.
Raghav: Enjoy!
Prity: “Zindagi ko enjoy kadna jaruri hai par jav tak khudke kadmo mai
khare hokar enjoy nahi kadoge tav tak woh enjoyment kisi orki diyi hui
hogi. ”
Raghav: Matlav?
Prity: Matlav, dushro ke party mai khud dance kadna.
Raghav: Samajme nahi aaraha tumhare baatein.
Prity: Ghar mai jakar sochna acche se.
‘ Prity ka ghar aajata hai or Raghav bhi ghar pohuch kar sochne lagta
hai, raat bhar sochne ke baad ushe samajme aajata hai ki zindagi
dushre ke sahare nahi ji jaati. ‘
‘ Raghav Prity ko text kadta hai or kehta hai ki -kal club mai milo 6
pm ko, par Prity ka Tuesday mai off tha or woh apne Maa se juth nahi
bolti thi toh ushne mana kad diya. ‘

11
‘ Raghav Prity ko call kadke puchta hai… ‘
Raghav: Hello! Kya hua kyu nahi aana chahti ho?
Prity: Kal nahi hosakta nuh Raghav.
Raghav: Kyu?
Prity: Kal Parth aane wala hai.
Raghav: Kon Parth?
Prity: (Sarma ke)Mera hone wala paati.

‘ Raghav ko shocked lagta hai or woh phone rakh deta hai. Ush din
Raghav ke aankhon se maine aansun nikalte hua pehli bar dekha tha. Tav
Raghav ki Maa ushe dekh leti hai or aandar aakar puchti hai. ‘
Raghv’s Mom: Kiske liye or kyu ro rahe ho?
Raghav: Prity.
Ragahv’s Mom: Woh bar wali?
Raghav: Ha… Uska shadi fixed hogaya hai or maine aabhi tak usko
bataya tak nahi.
Raghav’s Mom: Yahi ki tum usse pyaar kadte ho.
Raghav: Haa Mom.
Raghav’s Mom: Tumne bola tha naa mujhe, mai tumhe samajti nahi hu, aaj
samaj gayi ki tum kaise ho or mujhe garv hai apne bete par. Hum
chaalenge aaj he, mai baat kadungi Prity se or uski Maa se.
Raghav: I love you Mom! Pad ye galat hai nuh Mom?
Raghav’s Mom: ” Pyaar or dushmani mai sav kuch chalta hai. ”

12
‘ Parth aata hai Prity se milne cafe mai or Prity bohut khush thi.
Parth Army mai job kadta hai, kehte hai ”Army join kadoge toh savse
acchi ladki milne ka VISA mil jaat hai. ”
‘ Prity ko Parth pasand tha, dono chair mai betthe hai or baatchit
suru kadte hai. ‘
Parth: Kaisi ho?
Prity: Thik hu, tum kaise ho?
Parth: Mai bhi thik hu. Tum khush toh hona, koi problem toh nahi hai nuh?
Prity: Kaisa problem?
Parth: Mera matlav, ki dusra dost bagera-bagera nahi hai nuh tumhari
zindagi mai?
Prity: Nahi asa kuch bhi nahi hai. Mai single hu. Agar hota bhi toh
mai tumhe haa kyu kehti shadi ke liye.
Parth: Toh fir thik hai.
Prity: Parth! Hum do saal baad shadi kad sakte hai kya? Agar tumhe koi
etraaz nahi hai toh.
Parth: Tum jo bolo, par reason bolo mujhe.
Prity: Mujhe mera apna ek hotel kholna hai isilye.
Parth: Wah! Waise bhi maine 1 saal pehle he Army join ki hui hai or
mujhe bhi settle hona hai, aabhi thora stable nahi hu. Tumhara fesla
bhi thik he hai.
Prity: Thank you Parth mere sapne ko izzat dene ke liye.
Parth: Aab tumhara dream bhi mera dream naa.

13
Raghav or uski Maa jaate hai Prity ke ghar Raghav ka rista lekar par
ye baat Raghav Prity ko nahi batata hai.
Prity ki Maa darwaja kholke bolti hai…
Prity’s Mom: Aare Raghav!

Prity’s Mom: Namaste! Aaye aandar.
Raghav’s Mom: Suna hai beti ka rista teh hogaya.
Prity’s Mom: Haa!

Prity’s Mom: Kya ye baat Prity ko pata hai?
Raghav: Nahi! Aunty.
Raghav’s Mom: Pata hai! Pata hai! Raghav sharmaa raha hai isilye nahi

‘ Prity ki Maa Prity ko call lagane ke liye uthti hai. ‘
Raghav: Mom! Juth kyu?
Raghav’s Mom: Tum chup raho.
Prity’s Mom: Maine Prity ko call kad diya hai or woh raste mai hogi.

‘ Dushri taraf Prity Parth ko jaldi ghar chodne ko bolti hai… ‘

‘ Prity aakar… ‘
Prity: Raghav?
Prity’s Mom: Kya tumhe pata hai Raghav aaj humare ghar kyu aaya hai?
Prity: Nahi!
Raghav’s Mom: Rista lekar.
Prity: Kya? Aab ye kya hai Raghav?
Raghav: Ye sach hai.
Prity: Maine tumhe bola tha nuh mera shadi teh hogaya hai Parth se or
tum toh sirf mere dost ho or humare bich mai kuch hai he nahi.
Raghav: Haa! Pata hai par sav kuch itna jaldi hogaya ki pata he nahi chala.
Raghav’s Mom: Raghav darashal sharmaa raha hai behenji, aab dekho
behenji jawan hai dono, cafe mai pudi raat bitayi hai ek sath, kuch na
kuch toh hua hoga he in dono ke bich. Isilye toh…
Prity: Isilye kya Aunty? Boliya nuh.
Raghav: Mom! Asa kuch nahi hai.
Raghav’s Mom: Dekho tum dono abhi bacche ho. Tum dono sharmaa raahe ho
par hum bhi maaye hai, kyu behenji?
Prity’s Mom: Prity aandar jau.
Prity:(jaate hua) Kyu Maa?
Prity’s Mom: Aap humare ghar aaye iske liye dhanyabaad par maine apna
juban kishi orko de diya hai or hum gaarib jarur hai par juban ke
pakke hai.
Raghav’s Mom: Aap hume apni beti dete toh hum apki gaaribi dur kad dete.
Prity’s Mom: Hume apki daaya ki koi jaruraat nahi hai.
Raghav’s Mom: Lagta hai ladko walo ne daahej lene ke jagah daahej de diya hai.
Raghav: Mom! Chalo.
Raghav’s Mom: Mere bete ko naa kaha! Tumhari beti konsi bari maharani
hai jo mere bete ko thukraayegi.
Prity’s Mom: Leke jau Raghav apne Maa ko.
‘ Prity bohut dukhi hojatai hai Raghav ka ye naya or chokadena wala
roop dekhke. Prity Parth ko call kadti hai or puchti hai… ‘
‘ Maine sayed tumhare car mai apna purse choda hai, jara dekhna toh. ‘
‘ Haa! Mujhe mil gaya tha. ‘
‘ Utne mai Prity ki Maa Prity ke room mai aati hai or bolti hai -Dekha
maine bola tha nuh Raghav se duri banake rakho. ‘
‘ Maa! Parth. ‘
‘Do phone mujhe. ‘
Parth: Hello! Mummy ji.
Prity’s Mom: Thik ho nuh beta, kal sham ko aasakoge yaha.
Parth: Haa! Maa jarur.
Prity’s Mom: Thik hai beta, khush raho.

Prity’s Mom: Darashal aakela aane ko bola tha maine.
‘ Parth aata hai Prity ke ghar apne Maa Baap ke sath, Prity ke maane
aakele aane ko bola tha par. Prity Parth ko dekkhe thoda accha mehsus
kad rahi thi or chai ka tray leke aati hai. ‘
Parth’s Mom: Hume Parth ne sav bata diya hai.
Prity’s Mom: Par kya bataya?
Parth’s Dad: ‘ Prity or Raghav ke bare mai ‘… Dekho behenji, hum
Prity ko galat nahi bol rahe hai.”Pad, Aaj kal ke generation mai pyaar
pura digital hogaya hai or feelings ka koi pata nahi, kav aajaye. ”
Parth: Mai kal Prity ko dropped kadne aaya tha tav pas ke sheat mai
dekha toh Prity ka purse najar aaya, mai purse lotane or chalo aunty
se mil leta hu bolke ghar ke taraf bara toh maine khilki se dekha ki
ek ladka betha hai apne Maa ke sath or kuch shadi bagera ki batein
chal rahi hai or baadme pata chala ki ye toh Prity ka aashiq hai.
Maine pucha bhi tha prity se ki kya tumhare zindagi mai koi dushra
insaan hai bolke, Prity ne naa bola tha.
Prity: Pad kya batati? kuch hua he nahi ush raat.
Prity’s Mom: Haa! Bhaishap.
Parth’s Dad and Mom: Pad raat mai he kyu? Din mai bhi dosto se mil
sakte hai nuh. Humare bete ko ladkyo ki kami thodi na hai jo ye jante
hua bhi asi ladki ko apne ghar bahu banake lejaye.
Prity’s Mom: Aisi waisi ladki nahi hai. Muh samahalke.
Prity: Maa! Rehne do.
Parth: Haa! Rehne do yahi bolne aaye the.

Shiv: Suna hai bhavi, aap dono sehar chod ke jaa rahe ho?
Prity’s Mom: Haa! Bhaishap, Prity ka bhi addmision hogaya hai Hotel
Management mai or unke Papa ka bhi insurance nikal gaya hai toh isliye
ek or jagah settle hona chahte hai.

Shiv: Prity beta kaisi hai? Aaj apko baazar mai dekkhe bohut accha
laga. Maine jo kiya tha Prity ke sath apke sath woh bohut bura tha. In
do mahino mai bechari ke sath bohut kuch hua, job gaya, rista tuta.
Prity’s Mom: Majboori thi bataya tha Prity neh. Aab naseeb mai Prity
ke yahi likha hai toh ishme kya kad sakte hai.
Shiv: Prity beta ko mere taraf se aashirwaad dena bhavi.
Prity’s Mom: Haa!

‘ Prity or uski Maa Manipur ke liye rawana hojate hai, Prity 2009 or

CHAPTER 2
Doctor: Aabhi tum bilkul thik ho chuki ho.
Prity: Maa kaha hai Doctor?
Doctor: Tumhara Mummy bhi tik haai.
‘ Manipur mai Hindi kuch or he tarah se baat ki jaati hai iska matlav
tha -tumhari Maa bhi thik hai. ‘
‘ Darashal, Prity or uski Maa jish 18 number ki bus se Manipur jaa
rahe the ush bus ka accident hogaya tha or 13 log he bach gaaye the
unme se kuch naseeb waale Prity or uski Maa bhi the. ‘
4 weeks later
Doctor: Oh! Prity. Ye raha apke Mummy ka report card.
‘ Prity job ke liye interview dene jati hai or interview accha dene ke
baad Hostpital se report lene ke liye aandar ghusti hai. ‘

Prity: Thank you Doctor! Report kaisa hai?
Doctor: Sorry to say that Prity, apka Mummy ko cancer hai, 2nd stage.
Prity: Kya?
Doctor: Yeah! Reports are positive.
2 years later
Prity: Hello! aabhi tak Maa ka frame kyu nahi aaya, kal puja hai or
aabhi tak nahi bana.
Assistant: Bash! Sham tak aajayega Mam’.
‘ In do saalo mai Prity ne bohut saare dard jhele hai, apne maa ko
akhri saans lete hua kaun dekhna chahega or woh bhi akele. ‘

‘ Dushri taraf, Raghav ko bhi pata chal jaata hai ki uski Maane
planned kiya tha Raghav ka rista lekar jaana, juth muth bolna. Or,
Raghav ko laga uski Maa he thi jisne usko Prity se dur karwaya.
Engineering puda na kadne or 2nd year mai he chod dene ke kaaran job
milna bhi muskil ho raha tha tav uski mulakat Mukesh se hoti hai.
Raghav ko depression se nikalne ki kossis mai woh Raghav ko apne hotel
ke room mai rakhta hai. Mukesh tav Engineering kad raha tha, ek aamir
businessman ka beta tha. Raghav puda din peeta rehta tha or nashe mai
chillata tha hotel ke campus mai jakar iske karan bohut saare
complaints aane lage the.
17
Ek aadmi bolta hai’ Security! koi campus peh jakar chilla raha hai ishko roko. ‘
Security: Okay! Sir.
3 minutes baad,
‘ Oh! My God’ Someone is walking on the top of the building. ‘ Ek gora
ko dikhai deta hai or woh chilla ke savko bulata hai or sav bolne
lagte hai – Oye pagal kudna mat . Rescue team bhi aajati hai or Mukesh
bhi aajata hai… ‘

‘ Mukesh ko pata chal gaya tha ki ye Raghav he hobsakta hai jo peene
ke baad campus mai jakar chillata hai, Mukesh jaldi lift lekar char
jata hai or Raghav ko niche khichta hai or pakar ke rakhta hai or hath
pakadke niche laata hai or sari bheer ekhatti hojati hai. ‘
Security: Mam’, ush ladke ko niche utaar diya gaya hai.
Hotelkeeper: Thank God!
‘ Hotelkeeper pash aati hai Raghav ke sav logo ko ‘Haaton-Haaton’
bolkar or jav uski najar Raghav pad padti hai toh Raghav ko ek chan ki
saans milti hai 2 saal ke baad or woh Hotelkeeper or koi nahi Prity
thi. Raghav aansun nikale sukoon wali smile de raha tha or Prity pehli
ki tarah he ushe ghur ke dekh rahi thi jaise ki woh uski girlfriend
hai. Bolte hai nuh jav do pyaar ke panchi milte hai toh waqt ruk he
jaata hai, Raghav nashe mai Prity ko dhulhan ke costume mai dekhta hai
or jav woh pash aati hai or bolti hai Raghav se…
Prity: Raghav?
Raghav: (nashe mai) Tum aaj bhi waitress ke dress mai mere samne aarahi ho.
Prity: Raghav! Raghav!
Mukesh: Saala!
Raghav: (smile dekar) Prity?
‘ Itna kehkar Raghav flat ho jata hai, Mukesh or Prity ushe kamre mai
lekar jaate hai. ‘

18
‘ Hello! ‘
‘ Hello! Mukesh? ‘
‘Haa! Darashal kuch kehna tha last night ke liye sorry savse pehle,
Raghav ko janti he hogi tum bhi. Woh depression se juch raha hai and
he damn need someone to look after him. ‘
‘ Tum kaha jaa rahe ho, Mukesh? ‘
‘ Darashal, Papa ki tabiyaat acchanak khadav hone ke kaaran aaj mai
Arunachal Pradesh ja raha hu. Or, Raghav aakela hoga. Kya tum uska
dekh baal kad sakogi? Ushe accha bhi lagega agar woh tumhe dekhega. ”
Purane dost medicine ki tarah kaam kadte hai dukh ke paalo mai. ”
‘ Thik hai Mukesh, tum beh chinta jau, I’ll pray for him. ‘
‘ Prity Raghav ko uthati hai room mai aakar, aankhein kholkar Raghav
jav uske samne Prity ki un aankhon ko dekhta hai tav Raghav ka muskaan
nikal aata hai. ‘
Prity: Raghav, uth gaye.
Raghav: Sorry! Prity. Maine tumhe pehle kitna hurt kiya or aaj bhi kad raha hu.
Prity: Tumhari galti nahi ha, mujhe Mukesh ne sav bata diya. Tumhari
galti nahi thi. Or, waise bhi mai bhul chuki hu woh sav.
Raghav: Sav bata diya, maine ghar kyu chodo woh sav?
Prity: Kal pudi raat bethe the, har ek chai ke cup ke sath tumahri he
baatein chal rahi thi. Ye sav chodo, aab aage kya kadoge? kuch socha
hai.
Raghav: Serious talk. Company mai job mil jaye toh accha hai. Software
Engineering complete nahi kad paya isiliye job nahi de raahe or mujhe
bhi mann nahi hai boring tie formal shoe pehenke bethne ka. Mai artist
banna chahata tha pad in do saalo mai zindagi he badal gayi.
Prity: Tum acche gaate the, yaad hai mujhe woh gaana.
Raghav: Gaata toh aaj bhi accha hu pad kavi koi platform nahi mila
gaane ko. Tumne toh apna sapna puda kad liya. Jish ladki ko mai bewaj
or bechari samjata tha aaj ushi ke hotel mai bina rent diye guest ke
naam pad reh raha hu. Meri aaukat nahi hai rent deni ki.
Prity: Philosophy mat jaaro, chalo jaldi se tayar hojau.
Raghav: Pad kishliye?
Prity: Date mai jaa rahe hai isliye.
Raghav: Kya?
Prity: Pagal. Aaj tumhara pehla show hai, honey peelo or shave bhi kad
lena, bilkul chuse hua aam lag rahe ho.
Raghav: Show! Thik hai.
*
‘ Raghav accha perform kadta hai or bohut accha gaata hai. Raghav
firse zindagi ke sath chal raha tha or kahi na kahi aaj bhi Prity ko
pyaar kadta tha. Or, Prity bhi kadne lagi thi pad dono ke bich ek duri
thi, ush duri ko sabdo mai baya nahi kad sakte woh dono chumbak ke do
tute hua hisse the jo kavi chipak nahi sakte the pehle ki tarah. ‘
19
1 month later
Raghav ko aaj pehli tankha mili or woh Prity ko treat dena chahta hai
toh woh ek date set up kadta hai apne room mai, puda room candle se
saja hua tha, flowers, beers or snacks rakhe the.

Raghav call kadke Prity ko bulata hai, Prity ko fever tha toh woh
thoda low voice mai baat kad rahi thi pad Raghav ki khushi ke liye woh
room mai aati hai.
Raghav: Maine aaj asa isliye bhi kiya hai kyuki, mere aandar do saal
se jo baat chub rahi hai woh baata saku, aaj mausam bhi accha hai or
din bhi. Maine in do saalo mai bohut kuch khoya, ek asa dost jo mujhe
humesha kuch na kuch sikhata tha, ek Maa jo sirf mu bholi Maa hai or
Dad jo paise kamane ke chakkar mai sav bhul gaye.
Prity: Hmm.
Raghav: Main tumhe aaj bhi utna he pyaar kadta hu jitna usdin kadta
tha jav pehli bar tumhe pata chala tha. Or, mujhe garv hai mere pyaar
peh. I love you Prity! Kya tum mere sath buddi hona chahogi?
‘ Prity kuch jawav nahi kadti hai, Raghav gor se uski aankhon mai dekh
raha tha. Prity chup bethi thi, Raghav haat pakadta or feel kadta hai
ki Prity ko fever hai. ‘
Raghav: Tumhe fever hai or tumne bataya tak nahi. Idar let jau bed mai.
Prity: Roj he toh rehta hai koi baat nahi.
Raghav:(Dawaai dekar) Khalo jaldi se, khaya toh nahi hoga.
Prity: Mai khalungi baad mai, rehne do. Tum mujhse pyaar kadte hona or
tumhe jawab chahiye hoga nuh?
Raghav: Haa! Tum time aane pad batadena.
Prity: Aaj batahi deti hu, chalo mere sath.
‘ Dono Prity ke room mai jaate hai or Prity bara sa frame nikalti hai
or kuch reports dikhati hai… ‘
Prity: Ye hai mera sach.
Raghav: Kya hai reports mai?
Prity: Mai HIV(The Human Immunodeficiency Virus) positive hu. Mujhe
AIDS (Acquired Immunedeficiency Syndrome) hai.
Raghav:(Shocked) Kavse?
Prity: (ek aansun nikalke) 2 saal pehle bus accident mai jav hospital
mai admit hui thi tavse, Maa ko bhi tha or Maa cancer ka sikar hogayi.
Doctor ki ek bulne humari zindagi badal di.
Raghav: Pad kaise hua? Mujhe AIDS ke bare mai jada nahi pata.
Prity: Ushi accident mai ek HIV/AIDS infected admi tha or jav hum
savka ellaz ho raha tha tav galti se uska used kiya gaya needle jisme
uska blood tha, wahi needle dushri bar mere mai istemaal kiya gaya.
Or, AIDS ek infected insaan ke blood se bhi ho sakta hai.
Raghav: Pad thik toh ho sakte hai nuh?
Prity: Haa! Pad naseeb mai jo likha hai woh badal nahi sakta.
Raghav: Asa mat bolo.
Prity: India mai 2.9 millions log HIV/AIDS se juch rahe hai or pude
duniya mai tisra asa desh hai jaha HIV/AIDS positive wale log jada
sankhya mai paaye jaate hai. India mai isliye bhi jada paaye jaate hai
kyuki unme se savse bari wajah hai ‘Sikhsa’ jo har sehar gaon mai
uplabd toh hai, Class VIII ke kitabo mai ‘Reproduction’ jaise chapters
printed toh hai pad parate nahi, khud pado bolke skip kad dete hai.
Isse ‘Sex Education’ ko jada barawa nahi mil paraha hai. Iske karan
log aware nahi ho paarahe hai. Maa-Baap apne baccho ko sikha nahi
sakte ye sav baatein pad Teachers toh sikha sakte hai nuh. Savi states
ko dekha jaaye toh Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland,
Karnataka or Maharastra mai savse jada infected log paaye jaate hai
jinme se jada tar log North-East mai he paaye jaate hai.

Raghav: Toh tum kya kadna chahti ho?
Prity: Mai logoko aware kadna chahti hu, logo ko HIV AIDS ke bare mai
batana chahti hu, Isilye mai 5 mahino se funds jama kad rahi hu NGO ke
liye.
*

‘ Ushi din Raghav bohut peeke aata hai room mai Prity ki
dard-e-dastaan sun kad, Prity aati hai room peh or bolti hai. ‘
Prity: Har mai gayi hu or tumhe zindagi ki koi fikar nahi. ” Jo insaan
nashe ka sahara leta hai woh insaan aandar se bohut darpok hota hai.
“Tumhe aaj mai datungi toh nahi kyuki datne se tum roj piyoge, isilye
aaj samjaungi pyaar se ” Sharab mai kuch nahi rakha hai, zindagi se
dosti kadlo or dekho zindagi tumhe kitna ghumati hai. ” Daro mat kishi
bhi gaam se bash aage barte raho.
Raghav: (Bottle fekke)Tum aaj bhi Philosohper ho. Aaj se kavi nahi
piyunga na haat lagaunga. I love you Prity!
Prity: So jau shoes kholkar.
Raghav: I love you too toh boldo.
Prity: Samay aane pad bol dungi.
20
‘ Raghav or Prity dono bohut karib aajate hai pad Prity ko pata tha ki
ek duri bana ke rakhna hai. Din-ba-din Raghav ka pyaar Prity ki or bar
raha tha. Prity Raghav ki girlfriend nahi thi pad dost se kuch jada he
thi. Raghav ushe apna jivan sathi banana chahta tha pad jav bhi ye
baat utthi thi toh Prity bolti thi -“Shadi sirf sindoor lagane se nahi
hoti, saat kasme bhi khaye jaate hai, or jisko zindagi ka koi paata
nahi ho woh saat kasme toh kya aankhein mila kad bhi dekh nahi sakti.
”
‘ Raghav tav jawab deta tha -Mujhe shadi se koi matlav nahi na kishi
or cheez se, mai sirf tumhe apna banana chahta hu or mera naam ka
sindoor or mehendi lagte hua dekhna chahta hu, mujhe na suhagraat ki
chahat hai na kishi or cheez ki, mai tumhare aansun peena chahta hu,
hashi ki wajah banna chahta hu. ”

1 and half months later
” RAGHAV WEDS PRITY ”
‘ Ek safta pehle Raghav ne Prity ko proposed kad dala shadi ke liye or
15th March 2012 ko dono ki shadi hone ja raha hai, Mukesh or kuch gine
hua dost he invited the.
Raghav: Prity? Kaha ho shopping kadne nahi jaana, chalo.
Prity: Bash khatam aarahi hu, baba.
Raghav: ‘VISHAL MARKET’ jaate hai Silchar, thik hai nuh?
Prity: Nahi, local shops se kharidte hai jo bhi saman chahiye hoga,
travel kadne ka mann nahi hai.
Raghav: Jaise tum bolo.
Prity: Mummy ko nahi bataya?
Raghav: Nahi batana, tum mood kyu khadav kadwa rahi ho, chalo.
Prity: Family business samhalne ke liye tum he ho or ase nahi chodte
Raghav apne Maa ko aakele.
Raghav: Chalo aab.
15th March 2012
Raghav: Preety kaha hai Mukesh?
Mukesh: Upar kamre mai. Wah bhai aaj toh ghajab lag raha hai tu.
Raghav: Haa! Thank you. Mai upar se aata hu.
Kamre ke aandar guske,
Raghav: Prity? Prity?
‘ Shower on tha, light off tha Prity neh jo perfume lagaya tha uska
scent charo or fela tha. Wah! Kya scent hai -Raghav bolta hai.’
2 kadam chalne ke baad, Raghav ko kuch mehsus hota pagri ke upar kuch
hai bolke, Woh light on kadke dekhne ke baad chilla ta hai
‘Prity………… Ye tumne kya kiya? ‘ 2 minutes mai Raghav apna
saansein kho gaya tha, Prity ko pehle kaha dekha tha, Prity ka
muskurana yaad aagaya, Prity ka waitress wala dress sav kuch ushe
flashback mai aane laga.
‘ Prity ne apne aap ko fan se latkaya tha, Raghav buri tarah se Prity
ko pakadta hai or chilla-chilla kad savko bulata hai. ‘
Raghav: Prity? tumne asa kyu kiya.
‘ Prity ka smile marte waqt bhi uske sath tha, hath mai ek letter hai
bolke Mukesh ne bola. Pagal o ki tarah ush letter ko Raghav apne sine
se laga kar padne laga… ‘
‘ Dear Raghav,

Tum ro rahe hoge mujhe ish haal peh dekhkar, aaj humari shadi hai or
mai tumhare liye saji hui hu, dekho maine tumhara choose kiya hua
lehenga pehna hai, maine tumhe chupke se dekh liya tha tum bhi bohut
handsome lag raahe ho. Tumse shadi na kad saki toh kya hua, tumhara
naam ka sindoor maine lagaya hai, dekho accha hai nuh?
Mujhse shadi kadne se tum khush toh rehte pad mai tumhe ase hal peh
dekhna nahi chahti hu, tumhara pagalpan mujhe bohut pasand hai, tum
humesha ase he rehna.
Aab kaam ki baat, Maine apni saari property tumhare naam kad di hai
letter ke sath tumhe papers bhi mil jayenge. Mera ek kaam kad doge,
mera sapna puda kad doge? Tumhe bhi pata hoga mai kya kehna chahti hu,
ek NGO khol dena or uska naam rakhna ‘ DREAM NGO ‘ jitne saare AIDS
infected log hai humare area mai un savka treatement kadwana. Logo ko
HIV/AIDS se aware kadwana. 1st December ko ‘ World AIDS day ‘ manaya
jaata hai usdin open kadna.
Jish din ye puda hojaye usdin mere aastiyo ko ‘BARAK RIVER’ mai chod aana.
Usdin samajlena mere aatma ko santi mil gayi hai..
Maa ke pash chale jaana, tumhe sikhayat thi nuh ki mai tumshe woh 3
sabd nahi kehti thi bolkar, lo aaj uska bhi waqt hogaya hai ‘ I LOVE
YOU INFINITY,  RAGHAV. ‘

EPILOGUE

chuki thi, usse shadi kad leta hai.
‘ Raghav Prity ko kho chuka hai pad Prity ki yaadein or uska NGO
humehsa uske sath he rahenge. ‘
Akash: (Rote hua) Mere dost bohut strong hai, aajse uske liye izzat or
bhi bar gayi hai. Prity kitni acchi thi.
‘ Prity toh ush gulab ki tarah thi jo sukhne ke baad bhi sundar dikhta hai. ‘
” Woh kehte hai nuh har ek kamiyaab aadmi ke piche ek mahila ka he
hath hota hai. ”
Akash: Haa! Sahi kaha.
Mitali: Aab tum bhi idar betho ho chalo niche.
Akash: Chalo.
