Amrita pritam...ka ek panna....

[sanjoo]

Amrita pritam jii ki kitab mai se ek panna chhun kai laya huu...pata nahi kyun ye bachpann ka sach aaj bhii jinnda sa lagtaa hai.....

Koyii 11 baras ki thii..jab achanak ek din maa bimar ho gayi!
Bimari koyi muskil se ek saptah rahi hogi...jab maine dekha ki maa ki charpa_ee k eerd-girrd baithe huve sabhii kai muh ghabraye tha_i!
'meri binna kahan hai?' kahte hai...ek bar meri maa ne pucha tha aur jab meri maa ki saheli pritam kaur mera haath pakad kar mujhe maa k pass legayi tau maa ko hosh nahi thaa!
'To Ishwar ka naam le ..ree! koon jane uske maan mai daya aa jaye!bachho ka kaha wah talta nahi....' meri maa ki saheli..merii mausii..ne mujhse kaha!
Maa ki charpa_ee k pass khade huve mere pair pathhar k se hogaye!Mujhe kayii varshon se Ishwar se dhyaan jodne ki aadat thii....aur ab jab ek sawal bhi samne thaa...dhyaan jodna kathin nahii thaa!Maine na jane kitnni der apna dhyaan jode rakha aur Ishwar se kaha-'Meri maa ko mat marna!'
Maa ki charpa_ee se ab maa ki pida se karaahtii awaaz nahi aa rahi thii....par irrd-girrd baith_ey huve logon mai ek khalbalii si pad gayi thee! Mujhe lag raha- bekar hi sab ghabra rahe hai...ab maa ko pida nahi ho rahi hai!Mere Ishwar se apni baat kah di hai-'wah bachho ki baat nahi taal ta!'
Aur fhir maa ki chikon ki awaaz nahi aa_ee...par sare ghar ki chiikhen nikal gayi!Meri maa mar gayi thii.....uss dinn mere maan mai rosh ubal pada-'ISHWAR KISI KI NAHI SUNTA..BACHHON KII BHII NAHI'
Yaha wah din thaa...Jiss kai baad maine varshon ka niyaam chhod diya!peetajii ki agyaa badi kathor hoti thii...par meri jiddne unki kathorta se takkar le li:
'Ishwar koyii nahi hota hai!'
'Aesaa nahi kehte'
'kyun?'
'Waha naraaz ho jayega'
'Tau ho jaye..mai jantii hu Ishwar koyi nahi hai!'
'To kaise janti hai?'
'agar waha hota..tau meri na sunta?'
'To ne usai kya kaha thaa?'
'Maine ussai kaha thaa..merii maa ko mat marna!'
'Tune kabi ussai dekha hai?waha dikha_ee nahi deta hai!'
'Par uusai suna_ee bhii nahi deta hai'.............
