H2O NAGARIYA

Part 2

Mrs gupta herani se sila didi ko dekh rahi thi. “did aap majak kar rahi hai naa , aisa bhi bhala hota hai kya, aapko kaise pata chala”, mrs gupta ne puchha. “ dekho yakin karna na karna tumhari ichha aur mujhko kaha se pata chala mein timhe nahi bata sakti aur tumhe bhi ye nahi batana ki tumhe ye kaha se pata chala. Agar tumko unn kogo ko bulana hai to hath mein pani leke teen baar ye mantra padhna, ‘oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo, oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo, oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo’ uske baad pani ka ek chhita pati pe gira dena. H2o nagaria walw ayenge aur do din ke liye tumhare pati ko lejayenge.” Mrs gupta gehre soch mein dub gayi thi. Kuchh der baad unhone kaha, “ wapas to kar jayenge na inko?”. “ haan haan bilkul ,wapas karjayenge , unko kya karna hai tumhari pati ka.” Pati ke naa nahane se paresaan mrs gupta ne te prayog bhi ajmane ki sochi.

Raat ka bhojan karke guptaji jab tv dekh rahe theto mrs guptta ek puja ki thali layi aur achanak se gupta ji ke mathe pe tilak laga diya. “ are ye kya kar rahi ho, raat ki nau baje koun si puja hoti hai.” , gupta ji ne herani se puchha. Mrs gupta ne koi jawab nahi diya. Unhone hath mein kuchh bund pani liye aur uchharan karne lagi, “oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo, oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo, oo h2o nagaria ke nagriko mere pati ko dho dalo”. Iske baad pani ka ek chhita guptaji ke muh pe de mara. Kai dino se naa nahaye gupta ji ko ye bunde saagar si lagi. “ are ye kya kar rahi ho ?”, guptaji ne hadbadi mein kaha. “shant ho jayiye guptaji”, gguptaji ke pichhe khadi koi 8 foot lambi pani se bani ek manab rupi akruti ne kaha. Pehli baar kuch aisa dekh kar dono dar gaye. Kamre ke charo aur pani bulbule se bani akrutiya ghum rahe the. Sabhine guptaji ko gher liya tha. “mujhe maaf kar dijiyega”, gupta ji ke patni ne najar jhukaye gupta ji se kaha. Paani ke wo sarir guptaji ke aur paas aa gaye aur agle hi pal gupta ji ko apne saath baha le gaye. “Inka khayal rakhiyega.” , gupta ji ke patni ne chillate hue unn jati hui akrutiyo se kaha. Guptaji kuchh samajh hi nahi aa raha tha, wo kaha kis raste se jaa rahe hai. Wo chhutne ke liye haath paon marne lage, chhilane lage, rone lage , bichh mein to ye bbhi keh diya ki ,“chhod do warna police mein tumhari complain kardunga”. Lekin gupta ji ke rone chilane aur dhamki ka koi asar nahi hua. Paani ki yo akrutiya kisis jhil ke saant paani ki tarah ek dam saant thi. Guptaji badhawas ussi bahaw mein beh jaa rahe the. Udhar guptaji ke patnine bhi guptaji ke liye puja arambh kar di thi. Thodi der baad wo akrutiya ruk gayi.guptaji ghabra gaye. Tabhi ek bhari bharkam awaj ne guptaji ka dhyan khicha , “guptaji , swagat hai aapka h20 nagariya mein”.

Gupta ji apne sapno mein , apne kalpanao ki kalpana mein bhi aisa drusya nahi dekha tha. Charo taraf ek hi akaar ke pani se bane sarir ghum rahe the. Pani ke jo log gupta ji ko bahake laye the. Wo bhi achanak gayab ho chuke the. Dharti barf se dhaki hui thi. Lekin gupta ji ko jara bhi dar nahi lag rahi thi. “ kaise he guptaji , raaste mein koi taklif to nahi hui” , ye kehte hue paani ek akruti unki aur badhi aur unkr gale mein baraf se bani ek malaa dal di. Ye kya hai ? aur mein yaha kyun?” heran guptaji ne puchha. “ye h20 nagariya hai guptaji, hum yaha aapki dhulai karenge.” . “dhulai!!!”, guptaji dargaye. “ ghabraiye mat gupataji, wo mar pitai wala dhulai nahi, nahane dhone wale dhulai.” . “ par kyun ?”, gupta ji ne puchha. Uss akruti ne guptaji ki yahan pahanch ne ki saari kahani sunai aur saath ye bhi samjha diya do din se pehele yahan se bhaga nahi jaa sakta. Inse miliye gupta ji, ye hai hamare mukhya doctor, doctor jalasaya. Yahi aapka ilaj karenge. Ye keh kar wo akruti waha se chali gayi. Iske baad gupta ji ko bade se kamre mein le jaya gaya. Gehre nile pani se bane is kamre mein barf se bane kursi aur mej rakhe hue the. Charo taraf dhund jaisa dhuan tha.

Guptaji darte darte baraf wali kursi pe beth gaye. Wo bhagne ka soch bhi nahi rahe the, kyun ki wo jante hi nahi the ki wo kaha hai , bhagenge kaha se aur kidhar .”. “ dekhiye guptaji aap to jaante hei paani ke tin rup hote hai ,, thos drab aur gas. To apka inn tin rupo mein illaj kiya jayega. Magar usse pehle mein aapka ek mano baigyanik parikhya lunga ye jan ne ke liy ki aap nahane se katrate kyun hai.”.doctor jalasaya ko jawab dene ke alawa koi chara nahi tha guptaji ke paas. “ dekhiye , mein katrata nahi hu nahane se , srdi kitni pad rahi hai aur garmi mein to mein do do baar nahata hu. Agar sard mein na bhi nahau to hisab to barabar ho jata hai naa.”, Gupta ji ne kaha. Ye sunkar dr. jalasaya krodhit ho gaye. Wo gusse mein kehne lage, “gupta ji kya aap pure din ka paani ek hi baar mein pii lete hai?”. “ nahi mein koi untt thodi hu, upar wale ne mujhe insaan banaya hai.”, guptaji bhi behes ke mood mein aa gaye. “aur mein yehi aapko samjhana chahta hu ki , guptaji aap insaan hai , isiliye insaan ki tarah bartaw kariye aur roj nahaya kijiye.” . “ are na nahake mein desh kaa paani bhi to bacha raha hu.” , gupta ji ne jawab diya. “ apne alas aur gandi aadat ko desh pe mat daliye gupaji” , dr. jalasaya ka gussa badh gaya tha. Dr. jalasaya ne haath mein barf ka kale rang ka pen pakada hua tha, mej mein kagaj ke aakar ka barf ke kagaj the , jinme kuchh likh rahe the. “ guptaji ab aap sirf haan ya naa mein jawab dijiyega”, dr. jalasaya ne kaha, “kyaa ap nahane ki paani se darte hai?”. “sirf sardiya mein.” . “haan ya naa?” . “aa… haan”, guptaji ne kaha. “kya apko apni patni pe gussa ata hai kyun ki wo aapko nahane ke liye kehti hai?” “dekhiye dr. jalasay aapbhi agar sadisuda hai toh samajh sakte hai.” . “ haan ya naa?” , dr. jalasaya ne tokte hue kaha. “haan..”, guptaji ne kaha. Dr. jalasaya ne kuch der ganana ki aur gupta ji ko dekh ke kaha , “aap fail ho gaye ho gupta ji. Ab to aap gaye basss…
