Til ka taad ho jaata tha. Roz ka yahi haal tha. Tu tu main main se shuru hokar ghar ranbhumi ban jaya karta tha.
Aaj bhi donon ki ek dusre par bochhad chhoti si baat par shuru huyi thi aur Prem ne Prema ko na jaane kya kya suna diya. Pair se joota utaar kar hath me latkaaye wo baaton se lad raha tha. Jute ko kisi taraf phek kar haath hila hila kar Prema ko sunaabe laga tha.
Baat kewal itni huyi thi ki Prem ne kaha tha bachon ko English school se hata kar kisi sarkari school me daal de. Kyonki wo unka fee bear nahin kar sakta.
Tadaak se Prema ne kaha....''bachchon ki achhi shiksha Prem ki zimmedari hai. Wo kyon pichhe hat raha hai.''
Bas kya tha baat badhte badhte kahaan se kahaan pahuch gayi. Wo Prema ki ladne ki aadat se pareshaan tha. Thak kar wahaan se hat gaya aur nange pair hi bedroom ki taraf badh gaya kyonki baithak (drawingroom) me KAAM WAALI pochha laga rahi thi. Kitchen me khud Prema khana bana rahi thi aur dusre kamre me bachche khel rahe the. Is liye abhi shaanti kewal bedroom me hi thi.
Aise jhagdon ke baad wo hamesha sochta ki us ne Prema se shadi kyon ki. Usay lagta tha ki Prema jo kuchh bhi kamaati hai apne maike bhej deti hai. Wo soch raha tha ki kisi dhani vidhwa se shadi kar leta to kitna achha hota.
Uska dil buri tarah ghabraane laga. Usne socha ki kapde badal kar thodi der doston ke paas jaa kar gap shap karega to tension dur hoga.
Gusse ke kaaran wo galat almaari khol baitha. Ye Prema ki almaari thi. Us me kai kapde rakhe the. Wo unhen dekh kar jal bhun gaya. Prema ko kapdon ka bada shauk tha. Wo dekhne laga ki inme kitne suit naye hain. Lekin usay maayusi huyi. Sabhi hangar khali the. Sochne laga ki zaroor wo naye kapde kahin chhupa kar rakhti hogi.
Tabhi almari me bane locker par uska dhyan gaya. Wo bechain ho gaya. Jaldi se kamre ka darwaaza band kiya aur locker ki chaabhi khojne laga. Usay wishwaas tha ki locker me ya to cash bhara hoga ya cheque books honge. Un se wo pataa kar lega ki Prema ke a/c me kitne balance hain aur yahaan kitna cash hai.
Locker ki chaabhi ek jagah mil hi gayi. Aur jab locker khula to uska munh bigad gaya. Andar kewal cheque books ke bahut se adh-kattiyaan (counter foils) the.
Wo ye soch kar man hi man sulag utha ki Prema kitni fizool-kharch hai, aur usne ye fizool kharchi ghar ko banaane me kabhi nahi ki hogi.
Phir apni jigyaasa se washibhoot hokar sabhi adh kattiyon ko lekar bistar par baith gaya aur ek ek ko dekhna shuru kiya.
Usay Prema ki aadton ka pata to tha. Wo har cheque par likhti thi ki kis kaam ke liye aur kitni raashi nikaali.
Phir to uske chehre ka rang badalta chala gaya.

Isi tarah Prem ne paaya ki saare kharche uske upar ya bachchon par huye the. Baaki ghar ke saaaman par. Unhi me bachchon ke school me admission fee aur books tatha dress ke kharch ka bhi cheque kate the.
Wo aur kuchh nahin padh saka. Uski aankhon ke aage andhera chhane laga. Magar ye andhera 'alone in the dark' waala nahin balki uski aankhon se nikle aansuon ke kaaran tha. Wo khamoshi se saare counter foils ko waise hi locker me rakha kar band kiya aur chaabhi ko bhi uski jagah rakh diya aur der tak apna maatha pakad kar baitha raha. Uski salery kewal 15000 thi aur Prema ki us se adhik thi. Matlab wo ghar ke zyadatar kharche apne paison se karti thi aur khud ke liye kuchh nahin kharidati thi.
Hay bhagwaan....main kitna paapi hun. Meri Prema kewal mere aur bachchon ke liye jee rahi hai. Usne ek baar phir almaari me jhaanka. Usme kewal 6 jodi kapde aur saadiyan thin. Usay yaad aaya ki saadiyaan Prema ko shadi me mili thin.
Phir wo apni almaari ki taraf gaya. Wahaan koi hanger khaali nahin tha. Niche 6 jode jute chamak rahe the. Ek taraf taaiyon ki kataar thi. Ek baar phir waise hi aansu tapkaana shuru kar diya.
Wo nikal kar tezi se kichen me gaya. Wo rotiyaan senk rahi thi.
''Prema..'' us ne dhire se kaha.
''kya hai...'' bina uski or dekhe wo boli. Uski aawaz rundhi hui thi.
''Shukriya Prema.''
''kya..?'' wo achanak palti. ''kis baat ka shukriya?'' uski aankhon me aansu the.
Prem ne badh kar wo aansu ponchh daale aur wo uske seene se lag gayi.
''mujhe aaj pata chala ki is ghar ko swarg ka roop dene me tumne kitni kurbaani di.''
Aaj bhi donon ki ek dusre par bochhad chhoti si baat par shuru huyi thi aur Prem ne Prema ko na jaane kya kya suna diya. Pair se joota utaar kar hath me latkaaye wo baaton se lad raha tha. Jute ko kisi taraf phek kar haath hila hila kar Prema ko sunaabe laga tha.
