novel: MEHRGARH

by: NAHEED KHAN
EPISODE : 13

[EARLY MORNING – KHAN VILLA]

Subha ka waqt tha. Khan villa ki hava jitni thandi thi, utna hi behram khan ka chehra gusse se garam.
Kal raat ka faisla uske liye ab bojh ban chuka tha—
Hunain ko Mehrgarh main rakhna.

Behram lawn main aisa betha tha jaise kisi gehri soch ne use qaid kar rakhha ho.
Farhan uske paas aya.

Farhan:
“Saain… raat ka hamla rokne ka faisla theek tha. Lekin Shah ab isko kamzori samjhen gy.”

Behram (thandi saans le kar):
“Kamzori nhi Farhan… mera beta meri taqat hai. Uski aman wali baat ko main nazarandaz nhi kar sakta.”

Farhan ne pehli baar apne saain k lehje main narami dekhi.
Mehrgarh badal raha tha… ya phir bas Hunain badal raha tha?

[SHAH HAVELI – SIKANDER’S RAGE]

Shah haveli main aik alag hi aag lagi hui thi.

Ikhtiyar shah bohot sakoon se betha tha, lekin Sikander apni behan ki ghair-maujoodgi aur kal raat ke hungame se pareshan tha.

Sikander (gusse se):
“Abba! Kal raat kisi ne hamary aadmiyon ko peeche se roka… aur mujhy yakin hai k wo Hunain tha!”

Ikhtiyar Shah:
“Tum Saliha ka khayal rakho. Ye zameenon ki larai bohat gehri hai. Hunain ho ya koi aur… humne dushman ko kabhi apny maqam se neechay nai dekhna.”

Saliha door se ye sab sunti rahi.
Uska dil phir se unn jazbaaton main band ho raha tha jo wo kal raat dabana chahti thi.

[SALIHAA’S ROOM – GUILT]

Saliha apne room main idhar-udhar chalte hue bas aik hi baat soch rahi thi:

“Hunain ne meri waja se apny baba ko jhoot bola…”
“Meri waja se dono k darmiyan ladai ruk bhi sakti hai… aur barh bhi sakti hai.”

Usne apne haath ko dekha…
Wahi haath jo kal raat Hunain ne pakra tha jab wo use bachakar lekar gaya.

Usse aik ajeeb si bechaini mehsoos hui.

[KHAN VILLA – HUNAIN & HIS MOTHER]

Hunain abhi bhi tayyari k sath Mehrgarh chhorne ka soch raha tha, magar kal raat ka haal dil ko chain nhi lene de raha tha.

Kanwal khan uske kamre main aayi.

Kanwal:
“Nain… ap ne mujhe bataya hi nhi k tum kitna badal chuky ho.”

Hunain ne halka sa muskuraya.

Hunain:
“Ammi… badalne ka waqt a hi jata hai. Bas kisi ek wajah ka hona zaroori hota hai.”

Kanwal ne use dekha—
Ma ko apny bachay ka har ehsaas samajh ata hai.

Kanwal (softly):
“Wo wajah… Shah ki beti hai?”

Hunain chup ho gaya.
Koi inkaar, koi iqraar nahi.
Sirf khamoshi.

[NOON – A MESSAGE]

Saliha apne courtyard main bethi thi jab aik guard ne usse bataya:

Guard:
“Bibi… haveli k dehleez py aik parchaa mila hai. Lagta hai raat ko kisi ne chhoda.”

Saliha ne parchaa khola.

Us py sirf aik sentence likha tha:

“Aaj raat 9 baje baray pipal ke paas na jana.”
—H

Uska dil zor se dhadakne laga.

“Kyun? Hunain ne kyun bheja? Wahan kya hone wala hai?”

[SHAH HAVELI – SECRET PLANNING]

Neeche baithak main Sikander shah apne aadmiyon ko hukum de raha tha.

Sikander:
“Aaj raat Khan side se guzarne wali purani raah ko band kar dena. Farhan ya Hunain uss raat phir koi harkat karein gye.”

Saliha ne peeche se ye baat suni.

Uski saans phulne lagi.

[EVENING – HUNAIN’S REALIZATION]

Hunain ne Behram khan ko chupke chupke Farhan se planning krte suna.

Behram:
“Ab hum pehlay qadam kyun na barhain? Shah kamzor lag rahe hain.”

Hunain ka dil doob gaya.

“Nahi… phir khoon. Phir dushmani. Ye kab rukay ga…?”

Usne faisla kiya:

Woh aaj raat khud Shah haveli jayega… aur Saliha ko sab sach batayega.

[NIGHT – THE UNKNOWN MEETING]

Raat ke 9 bajne wale thay.

Saliha baray pipal ke paas pohanch gayi.
Dill ghabra raha tha.
Dar, curiosity, uneasy silence…

Phir peeche se ahat hui.

Wo palat kar dekhti hai—

Hunain khada tha.
Lekin uske chehre py pehli baar dar nazar aa raha tha.

Saliha:

“Tum ne bulaya tha… lekin yahan khatra kyun hai? Kya hone wala hai?”

Hunain ne gehri saans li.

Hunain:
“Saliha… aaj raat koi bura faisla hone wala hai.
Aur tumhain is sab se bahir rakhna bohat zaroori hai.”

Saliha dar gayi.

Saliha:
“Kya… hamla?”

Hunain ne sir jhuka diya.

Hunain:
“Shayad. Aur shayad is dafa mere baba rukenge nahi.”

Dono khamosh ho gaye.
Sirf hawa chal rahi thi—
Aur Mehrgarh ki dushmani phir se jag rahi thi…
