AASHIYANA
As his car came to a halt at the
driveway of his house, SAMRAT was grinning ear to ear... He was
thinking..about his life...with GUNJAN... this is how he would be home
from work everyday. As he got off the car and leaned against the car, his legs
crossed and his hands across his chest, SAMRAT's grin got wider. He was
lost in his thoughts of how he would be welcomed home by his beautiful wife who
would flash her enchanting smile at him... how he would tease her about her day
without him as she would try to resist his charm yet fail miserably at
it...how he would...
" Mr.SHERGILL !! Kya
aap meri 'Di' ko bula denge...?"
His
dream was abruptly cut short by the voice of a kid... who else could the pest
be?? As SAMRAT was startled by this sudden interruption, he stood
straight and turned around to see his arch enemy TINKU standing
in front of him, his hands in the pocket of his sweatshirt... looking at him
with attitude,
SAMRAT's smile disappeared completely... a small frown creased his
forehead... thoughts changing their direction from a happy family life with
GUNJAN to getting this little bundle of trouble out of his
way... (( Oh God !!
Yeh... yeh.. .yahaan iss waqt...?? Yeh abhi kyun aa gaya...?? looked at sky ...
Dude !! what is this...?? Yeh saare Naughty bachhon ki casting hamari hi
'Love-Story' mein karni zaroori thi kya...?? 1 toh ROHAN... jisne ... jisne meri
GUNJAN ki dress kharab kar di...aur dusra yeh 'Tingu-Mingu'...jo ab meri planning
ko kharab karne aa gaya... Aapko...aapko kya mazaa milta hai meri life mein itne
saare Problems de kar...??Yeh saare 'Karate-Kids' meri hi 'Love-Story' mein 'Kung-Foo' kyun kar rahe hain...??
Shaking his head in disgust, he looked down again and then he
looked at TINKU... who was giving him a blank look... but, this made
SAMRAT even more curious... he scrunched his eyes as he continued
thinking ...Yeh kuchh toh zaroor Plan kar raha hai... lekin
kya...?? Jaldi kuchh soch SAM...warna toh yeh 'Short Circuit' teri full
'Love-story' ke concept ko hi wash-out kar dega... kyunki, yeh mujhe torture
karne ka 1 bhi chance jaane nahin deta...
As
TINKU continued staring at him, SAMRAT quickly composed himself as
he ran his tongue over his lips... he again looked at the
sky... I can't believe ki, itni sweet aur cute si ladki ka
bhai itna bada 'Gunda' hoga... Yeh toh...yeh toh... 'Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya' ke
ARBAAZ se bhi zyada khatarnak hai...
This time the look
he gave TINKU was an angry one...not full-fledged anger, but just a wee
bit... he could not afford to show TINKU his
disgust... Yeh yahaan yun hi toh nahin aaya hoga... zaroor
koi solid planning hogi...jo yeh GUNJAN ko bulane ke liye keh raha hai... I am
sure...yeh usse bula kar kuchh na kuchh aisa kahega ki, woh shopping par jaane se
mana kar degi... shaking his head as he
continued thinking... Sala !! Yeh toh
kabhi apni behan ka ghar hi basne nahin dega... Koi apne hone waale 'Jiju' ko
itna pareshan karta hai kya...?? wait...1 baar GUNJAN se shaadi hone de
bachhu... phir, bataoonga tujhe...chu -chun ke badla
loonga... ))
He nodded his head, seconding his
thoughts himself as TINKU continued staring at him... as SAMRAT
looked at the sky, so did TINKU... his eyes followed SAMRAT's
every movement... and his every expression that changed with his thoughts.
Finally, TINKU's patience ran out... and irritation very obvious in his
voice, he said... " Oye !! HERO !! Kya 'Kaan'pur mein
hadtaal[Strike] hai...??
This brought SAMRAT out of
his thoughts... his mouth open slightly and surprise writ large on his face...
he asked..." What...?? What is meaning of this...??
'Kaan'pur ...kya...?? Are you Ok..??
TINKU was totally irritated... he spoke... taking his hands
out of his pocket and crossing them across his chest as he spoke... taunt very
easily heard... " Yes... I am Ok...!
But,I am not sure about you...?? Treatment adhuri chhod kar aane ki kya zaroorat
thi...?? "
S -
(looking at him in surprise...) What...?? I am ...I am fully
Ok... Meri koi...'Treatment-wreatment' nahin chal rahi... I am fit...n fine...
yaa (He said, as he pulled his tee shirt down and adjusted his
collar...)
T - Oh ! toh...phir mere simple se question ka jawab kyun nahin de
rahe...?? (holding his own ear) 'Kaan'pur mein koi
problem toh nahin...?? (freeing his ears n pointing to his
own head)... 'Top Floor' thik hai naa...?? koi 'Leakege-Weakege' toh
nahin...??
Mujhe dekh kar ajeeb-ajeeb se shaklein kyun bana rahe the...??
aur...aur baar-baar upar kya dekh rahe the...?? Yahaan toh koi unchi building
bhi nahin... (He looked around as he shrugged his shoulders, his tone
showing his irritation as he spoke...)
SAMRAT
spoke with confidence, but knew what a lame attempt it sounded at covering up
his faux pas... of losing himself in thoughts when this mischief monger was
here... " Mere 'Kaan'pur mein... (He realized what he was saying, and he
immediately corrected himself...) I ... I mean mera 'Kaan'
bilkul thik hai aur mera 'Top Floor'... He shut his eyes in exasperation
as he realized what he was saying... opening his eyes slowly, he corrected
himself yet again... his tone a bit higher... I
mean... mera... mera dimaag bhi bilkul thik hai... aur... aur...yeh meri aankhein
hain... Meri marzi...main inse kuchh bhi dekhoon... Upar dekhoon... Neeche
dekhoon... Bahar dekhoon...Andar dekhoon...
Dramatically covering his ears,
TINKU said... " Bas... bas...issse zyada ki zaroorat
nahin... yahaan par koi ladki nahin... iska matlab yeh nahin ki aap apni saari
line hi cross kar jaao...aur sab kuchh dekho-dikhao... after all hum boys ki bhi
kuchh izzat hoti hai... "
S -
(looking at him in disbelief as he turned around again and crossed his hands,
looked straight and said...) Haan... haan... thik hai...!!
main... main... bhi...main bhi iss se zyada detail mein nahin jaata... any way..
main...main...abhi kisi ko nahin bulaoonga...
T -
(angrily) What...?? Kyun nahin bulaooge...?? Woh meri 'Di'
hain... Mujhe abhi,issi waqt unse baat karni hai...
S - Toh...andar jaao...aur jaa kar khud baat kar lo...main yahaan kisi
ka personal attendant nahin...
T - (in
very innocent tone) Kaise jaaoon...?? Main andar nahin ja
sakta... Kal hi toh unse promise kiya hai...Unhone Aapke ghar jaane se mana kiya
hai... (blinking slowly as he said this and looked at SAMRAT,
TINKU sighed as he looked downward, shaking his head
sadly... )
SAMRAT looked at him but said nothing. He was busy in his
own thoughts...wondering what this small mind had thought about?? what was his
plan after all??
(( Good !! Yeh
andar nahin jaayega... ! ab mujhe kisi tarah isse GUNJAN ke bahar aane se pehle
bhejna hoga... lekin kaise...?? Soch beta SAM !! Kuchh toh soch...yeh TINGU yun
hi nahin jaane wala... but,yeh yahaan kar kya raha hai...?? Oh !! I know...I
know,yeh aisa kyun kar raha hai...? He is very smart...Yeh chahta hai ki,main iss
par badly react karoon... aur GUNJAN mujhse naraaz ho kar kal ki tarah iske
saath chali jaaye... What a brilliant plan...?? So Dangerous
!! looked at him suspiciously, glaring at
him... No..No...SAM...control yourself... mujhe... mujhe
'apna anger show nahin karna hai... bilkul normal behave karna hai... bilkul
calm-down...
SAMRAT gave a deep breath as he looked
at TINKU...hands back in his sweatshirt pockets he was looking
downwards, kicking a stone here and there. Much against his wishes, SAMRAT
plastered a 100 watt smile on his face... as he patted TINKU's
shoulder...
Unknown to SAMRAT , TINKU
was observing his behavior on the sly. He pretended to be startled when
SAMRAT tapped him on his shoulder. When he looked up to see SAMRAT's
smile, he could not resist taunting him... " Hello !! Ab kya hua...??
Yeh suddenly 'COLGATE' ki ad kyun de rahe ho...?? I am not interested Ok...??
Because, I am satisfied with my 'CLOSE-UP' smile... see...
as he spoke, he
showed his teeth... and with as much difficulty that SAMRAT had plastered
that smile on his face, with immense ease, he dropped that smile... but, TINKU
would not let it go so easily... " Toh agar aapki "Who's smiles better"
waali Ad khatam ho gayi ho toh...ab aap chup-chap meri 'Di' ko bula dijiye...
Mujhe unse kuchh important baat karni hai...? " his tone had the
hint of an order...
As he spoke, TINKU had come
closer to where SAMRAT was standing. He stood near the car hood...
SAMRAT glared at hima s he also walked over and said... " Ok... pehle tum mujhe 1 baat batao... Kya main...?
"
TINKU perched himself
on the hood as he ignored SAMRAT...after making himself comfortable, he
spoke casually... keeping his elbows on his knees as he spoke... " Ok...ab poochiye jo poochna
hai...waise bhi mere paas time hi time hai... toh jab tak 'Di' nahin aati...
Aapke saath hi 'Time-pass' karna padega...aur waise bhi Aapse zyada better
'Time-Pass' ka koi other option yahaan toh milne se
raha..."
Trying hard to control his
feelings, SAMRAT lowered his tone as he asked him... " What's
your problem...?? Tum...tum...mujhe pasand kyun nahin karte...?? Mujhe...mujhe
dekh kar itna over-react kyun karte ho...?? As per knowledge...hamari toh koi
dushmani bhi nahin...toh...toh...kya hum donon 'Dost' nahin ban sakte...??
and slowly forwarded his hand for a hand shake... his
fake smile yet again plastered on his lips...
TINKU smirked as he
looked at SAMRAT... then he looked at SAMRAT's forwarded hand...
and made a face...that indicated he was absolutely floored by SAMRAT...
his lower lip tweaked out as his upper lip rested on it... he nodded his
head.... " Good ! No...actually BEST... "
S - (Asked
strangely) What...??
T - (with smiling
face) Aapki Performance ! OMG !! Really...too good...what a
performance...!! I swear 2-4 'Gali-Muhaale' ke 'Raam-Leela type Award' toh pakke ho hi
gaye samjho... How can anyone beat you...?? (asked
seriously)
S - (totally
confusing tone) Matlab...?? Kaun si performance...??
(avoiding eye contact, he asked..hating every minute of this
conversation...)
T - (with a
smiling face) Wohi performance , jo aap abhi-abhi kar rahe
ho naa... Yeh zabardasti ki smile... aur yeh 'I am so-so sweet' type show karne
ki acting (his
smile vanishing as his face turned serious...) Yeh
main roz karta hoon...n believe me..aapse 100 time better kar sakta hoon...
(confidently) Toh yeh
acting aap mere saamne toh mat hi karna...waise bhi yahaan Maa-Papa nahin
hain... jinhen aap apni 'goody-goody' image se impress kar loge... (without mincing words as he spoke...)
He had done it again...TINKU
had managed to checkmate him again... if SAMRAT thought he was smart,
TINKU was smarter... victory evident in his voice, TINKU
continued..." Aur...yeh jo aap shake hand ke liye haath
badha rahe ho naa... (pointing to SAMRAT's hand which he had forwarded for a hand
shake... SAMRAT looked at his forwarded hand and then at TINKU's
finger that was pointing at it..he hurriedly kept his hand down, totally
dumbstruck...) n I am 101% sure...kal issi haathoon
se Koi Packet yaa letter badhaoge.. 'Di' ko dene ke liye... (in totally caught in red handed
style)
His mouth gaping, SAMRAT
looked at him... all of 11 years and yet able to shut anyone up with his
words... no one...absolutely no one would be able to tell what his next sentence
would be... He looked downwards, not knowing what to say...he was the victim
here...
TINKU jumped off the hood and stood in front of SAMRAT and
then, menacingly pointing a finger at him, GUNJAN's
protective, younger brother warned SAMRAT ...
"Stay away from my 'Di'...Ok...?? Achhi tarah se jaanta hoon...aap
jaise 'Lafangon' ko... lekin shayad aap TINKU ko nahin jaante...
"
SAMRAT was startled
as he heard the word 'LAFANGA'... He remembered his conversation with ISHITA
... the threat seemed nothing in front of that word...
(( OMG !! "Lafanga" ??
again "Lafanga"...?? Iss...iss...Tingu-Mingu ne bhi mujhe "Lafanga" kaha...??
...yaani...yaani...Bhabhi was Right...?? Isne bhi mujhe mere look se pehchaan
liya...?? Kya...kya... 'Lafangon' ki shakal aisi hoti hai?? No...No...main...main
'Lafanga' thode naa hoon...
Lekin agar iss 'Tingu-Mingu' ne mujhe "Lafanga" prove
kar diya toh...?? Oh God !! Phir toh mere hone wale Chunnu-Munnu mujhe kabhi
maaf nahin karenge...?? looked tensed... Kyunki,woh meri wajah se kabhi iss
duniya mein aa hi nahin paayenge... Iss..iss...'Tingu mama' ki baatoon mein
aakar...kahin unki hone ki wali Maa ne mujhse shaadi se mana kar diya toh...??
No...No... Main... main... aisa nahin hone doonga... I'll prove ki...ki...main
'Lafanga' nahin hoon... Main...main...abhi isse convince karta hoon...
))
He looked at TINKU
who was waiting patiently for SAMRAT to react. Stammering, SAMRAT
spoke...a put on confident tone not helping him... "What...?? What do you mean ki...ki...main...main
'Lafanga' hoon...
Looked at himself... moving his index finger from his foot to
toe, 3 times......Main...main... kis angel se
tumhein... tumhein 'Lafanga' lagta hoon batao...?? Tumhein kya pata MUMBAI
mein...
He tried hard to show off his achievements...
maybe this sutli bomb would get impressed... but easier said than done as
TINKU cut him off again... " Sorry to say
Mr.SHERGILL...!! but, aapka yeh 'MUMBAI Maha Jaap' mujh par koi work nahin karega...
aur agar baat 'Lafangon' ki hai... Aap kabhi DELHI toh aao ...phir main
dikhata hoon... wahaan ke 'Lafangon' ne bhi kya 'Standard' maintain kiya hua
hai... "
Pride was so evident
as he spoke... a totally dazed SAMRAT helplessly stood as
TINKU hit bouncer after bouncer... not giving him the time to recover...
SAMRAT looked at himself and then at TINKU... and then again at
himself. TINKU chuckled... the look on SAMRAT's face was
priceless...the one indicating that he could not even be called a decent
'LAFANGA'??
Controlling his laughter, TINKU taunted once
again... "Kya dekh rahe
ho...? "Perfect n Smart Lafanga" kyun nahin lag raha...?? " and holding his stomach and just short of rolling over the floor
in laughter, TINKU burst out laughing.
SAMRAT scrunched his eyes
as he looked at TINKU... finally realising that TINKU was just
pulling his leg... and he, SAMRAT SHERGILL was not only letting him do
so, but was also falling for all this talk. He moved closer to TINKU and
said... " Its not funny Ok...? Main...maine...abhi kaha
naa...main...main... koi 'Lafanga-Wafanga' nahin hoon...I
am..."
Once again, TINKU cut him
off... and holding his stomach with one hand and waving the other at SAMRAT
as he tried to stop laughing, he said......" Ok...Ok... just relax...
Aap itna hyper kyun ho rahe ho...? Mujhe thode na aapka 'Character Certificate'
dekhna hai..."
SAMRAT blinked as he
looked away, shaking his head. he moved his fingers through his hair and then
set his hair. leaning on the car, he waited. He did not have to wait for long.
TINKU came and stood next to him as he said, in a serious
tone... " Do you know what
Mr.SHERGILL...?? Aapko dekh kar naa...mujhe kisi ki yaad aati hai...
(made a very sad face) Bechara... I really missed
him...Aur,aapko dekhne ke baad toh aur bhi... (looked down as he said, his voice
losing all enthusiasm as he spoke...)
SAMRAT looked at him
and then at the side mirror of the car as he checked himself out... and then he
asked TINKU, in a soft tone... "
Kiski...yaad ? Kaun bechara...?? "
T - (in same
serious tone...) 'CHANDU' ki...
S - (curiously)
'CHANDU' ?? Kaun 'Chandu'...??
TINKU looked at
SAMRAT...his face sad, as he said... " 'Chandu'...! CHADAN AHUJA...!!
Hamara Neighbor... bilkul hi aap jaisa tha... (said very softly in very low tone) 'Chipku aur Pakaoo'!!
S - What...?? Tumne mujhe kuchh kaha...??
T - No... No... Maine aapko kahaan kuchh kaha...? Main toh 'Chandu' ki
qualities bata raha tha naa... (nodding his head in a NO, TINKU
immediately spoke...)
S - Phir...?? Kaun tha woh...?? aur...aur...tumne usse 'Bechara' kyun
kaha?? (and then looking around to make sure no one heard
him, he spoke in a low tone...) wo...woh...GUNJAN usse jaanti thi
kya...??
TINKU
looked at him... up to down... and decide something ((I knew
it... Yeh ghoom phir kar 'Di' ke hi topic ko laayega... Iski curiosity toh main
khatm karoonga... Abhi batata hoon Bachhu...ki, Kaun tha 'Chandu'...?? Phir
dekhna...tumhaari kya halat hoti hai...?? )) asked in
very serious tone...
T - 'CHANDU' ?? Aap...aap... 'Chandu' ko nahin jaante...?? He stared at him wide eyed... as he asked again... "Aap
sach mein 'CHANDU' ko nahin jaante...??
SAMRAT was about to
say No, but then he stopped to think. Patting his lips using his index finger,
his other hand on his tummy...he thought... tried to recollect the name... but
finally, he gave up. he nodded in a negative...
T - Oh !! Aap ko kaise pata hoga...!! 'Bechare' ki news, Paper mein
aate-aate reh gayi naa...! Bach gaya tha naa isiliye... (said as if
sympathizing with CHANDU... )
warna toh... Meri
'Di'... He spoke seriously...
S -
(now very
curious... he wanted to know... he turned towards TINKU...on hand the top
of the car and the other on his waist, he asked...his tone indicating his
shock...) Lekin hua kya tha...?? Tum puri baat kyun
nahin batate...? aur...aur... GUNJAN ka kya lena-dena...iss...iss 'CHANDU'
se...?? SAMRAT said in little possessive
tone...
