Ka Phal

Madhvi
terah varsh ki ek sadharan kanya thi. Rang gehuan aur nak
naksh bhi theek thaak hi the, parantu uske chehre par ek anmol
aakarshan ka ajeeb sa phailav tha. Uski meethi aawaz aur asadharan
buddhi logon par asar chod jati thi. Bachpan me ma baap guzar
gaye the isiliye wuh apne chacha chachi ke paas rahti thi.
Chacha to uska behad dhyaan rakhte the par chachiji ka bartav
Madhvi ke saath accha nahi tha. Chacha ke dono bacche gaon
ki pathshala me padhte the par Madhvi ko chachi ne ghar ke
kaam me aisa laga rakha tha ki pathshala jaane ka koi sawal
hi nahi tha. Subah se raat tak wuh Madhvi ke peeche padi rahti
aur dant phatkar kar sara gharelu kaam karwati. Madhvi dukhi
to thi par nirashavad me use vishvas nahi tha. Uski ma ne
use samjhaya tha ki kisi bhi paristithi me manushya ko haar
nahi manni chahiye aur apna kaam man laga kar karna chahiye.

Ma ki shiksha yaad kar Madhvi ghar ka sara kaam
aise karti thi ki koi atithi ahanak aaye to use ghar vyavastith milta tha.
Baccha budha koi kisi bhi samay kyon na aaye, Madhvi ke chehre ki muskan
kabhi dhimi nahi padti thi. Man ki peeda ko kisi par zahir nahi karti thi.
Sabse hansti bolti rahti aur atithiyon ka swagat chai, sharbat aur garm
nashte se karti. Itni choti aayu me hi usne tarah tarah ke vyanjan banane
seekh liye the. Uske haath ki bani pakaudiyan, kadhi, pulav aur damalu
khakar log ungliyan chatte rah ate the. Itna sab kuch karne par bhi use
chachiaur unke bacche Raju aur Kanchan se kabhi pyar ke do meethe shabd
nahi milte the. Nuks nikalne ke siva unhe aur kuch nahi ata tha.
Ek hi
kaam ko baar baar karwane me Raju aur Kanchan ko bada maza ata tha. Dukh
takleef me wuh sirf eeshwar ko yaad karti thi. Subah uth kar naha dhokar
bhagwan ko bhog lagakar hi kuch karti thi. Sham ko dubara aarti karti aur
kam karte wakt bhajan gati rahti. Bachpan se hi uski ma ne use eeshwar par
vishvas rakhne ki shiksha di thi. Bhagwan se baaten karna usne apne pitaji
se seekha tha. Wuh kahte, "beti, kabhi kisi musibat me pado aur kisi sawal
ka hul na mile to Ramji se pooch lo. Wuh tumhe zaroor rah dikhayenge. Unke
paas to har sawal ka hul hota hai aur jo unki madad leta hai use kisi baat
ki chinta nahi hoti." Bachpan ki ye baaten Madhvi ke mastishk me aise
vsamayi thin ki ab wuh uski aadat ban gayi thi. Ma baap ke marne ke baad
eeshwar me uska vishvasghatne ke badle aur badh gaya tha. Wuh sochti jo
bhi hota hai acche ke liye hi hota hai. Eeshwar iccha ke bina ped ka ek
patta bhi nahi dolta to phir kyun na main bekar ki baaten chod bhagwan
bhakti me apna samay bitaoon.
Kaafi samay beet gaya.
Raju ab college me padhta tha. Roz paas ke shahar jata aur sham ko wapas
ata. Kanchan ki shaadi ki tyarriyan ho rahi theen. Inhi jadon me paas ke
Madhopur gaaon se barat aane wali thi. Jamai raja ka khud ka karobar tha.
Kapde ki dukane theen aur ek choti factory me khilaune bhi ban kar shahar
me bikne jati theen. Madhvi Kanchan se do varsh badi thi par uski shaadi
ki kisi ko parvah nahi thi. Chacha ne do ek baar chachi se is vishay par
baat chedi par baat aage nahi badhi. Seedhi si baat thi Madhvi sasural
chali gayi to ghar ka kaam chachi ji ko karna padta. Bhala yuh kaise ho
sakta tha. Unhe to aaram se baithne ki aadat pad gayi thi. Wuh Madhvi ko
hamesha sunati "arey bitiya teri shaadi hona namumkin hai. Rang jo tera
kala hai. Kaun kali kaloothi se phere karvayega. Tu to yaheen jami ruh.
Budhape me chacha chachi ki seva karegi to bada punya hoga. Samjhi na?"
Madhvi unki baaton ka zara bhi bura nahi manti. Chacha ki lachari
samajhkar wuh unki dekh bhaal karte hue hi apna jeevan vyateet karna
chahti thi.

Aakhir Kanchan
ke byah ka din aa hi gaya. Madhvi ne ghar ki sajawat
me saari kasar poori kee. Khane peene ka badhiya prabandh
kar wuh Kanchan ko sajane me lagi hui thi. Aakhir barat aa
hi gayi. Sab log swagat me aage badhe par Madhvi khane ka
poora intejam dekhne pichwade chali gayi. Abhi usne pattal
vagayrah lagwane shuru hi kiye the ki Kanchan ki saheli Rani
ne daudkar kaha "Madhvi, chal aa, dulhe raja apni saali
se milna chahte hain." Madhvi ne sari ka pallu theek
kiya aur Rani ke saath shamiyane me aayi. Dulhe miyan kursi
par baith sharbat pee rahe the.

Jyon hi unhone Madhvi ko dekha hairani se
unki ajeeb si halat ho gayi. Unhone jhat peeche khade doston me se apne
priye mitr Rajan ko haath pakad kar apne paas bulate hue kaha "Rajan dekh
bhabhi." Aaspaas khade log dulhe saahab ki baat sun kar hairan ho gaye.
Rajan ki aankhen ektak Madhvi ke chehre pe gadi theen. Madhvi ko kuch
samajh nahi aa raha tha. Ghabdakar usne Rajan ki or ek baar phir dekha aur
ulte paaon ghar ke andar chali gayi. Rajan ne kursi ka sahara liya aur sar
se paseena ponchne laga. Pradeep Kanchan ke hone wale pati ne Rani ko
bataya ki do saal pahle Rajan ki shaadi hui thi aur pichli garmiyon me
uski patni Renu ka swargvas hua tha. Madhvi ka chehra hoo bahoo Renu
bhabhi jaisa tha. Sirf chehra hi nahi balki rang, kud aur awaz bhi wahi
thi. Rajan ko aisa laga mano Renu use dubara mil gayi ho. Use baar baar
Madhvi ki sundar aankhen yaad aa rahi theen jo bilkul Renu ki tarah sundar
theen, sirf ek fark tha. Renu ke baal seedhe lambe the aur Madhvi ke
kandhe tak ghungral
Ab tak Madhvi ke chacha
bhi wahan aa gaye the. Pradeep ne unse kaha "pitaji aap apni beti Madhvi
ki shaadi yadi mere mitr Rajan se kar den touse dubara uski patni mil
jayegi jiske bina uski zindagi bekar hi ho gayi hai." Chacha ne hami bhari
aur chachi ke lakh mana karne par bhi ek hi mandap me Kanchan aur Madhvi
dono ki shaadi ho gayi. Shaadi ko teen saal beet
gaye. Kanchan ko ek beta aur Madhvi ko ek beti ho chuke the. Madhvi ne
kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki pati ka pyar aur beti ka sukh use itni zyada
milegi ki wuh apne beete dino ke dukh takleef ko bilkul bhool jayegi.
Rajan ke ma baap aur bhai bahen Madhvi ko itna chahte the ki kaha nahi ja
sakta. Madhvi ko aakhir bhagwan par vishvas rakhne ka phal mil hi gaya.
