"Tapai kina koi sanga pani bolnu hudaina?" Yasari maile sodhe bhane,
Uni banthin,"Mero khasai aru sanga bolne bani chaina, afno kaam prati nai dhyan dina maan lagcha,Sir."

Tyasbela ma dharan ko ek computer instutite ma teaching kaam garthe ra uni mero student thiyi. Suruwat ka din haru ma ta malai pani lagdaina thiyo ki unko aagamaan le mero jiwan ma thulo asar puryaucha bhanera. Maile uslai ek student ko nata le matra herne garthe. Tara usko rup, aani bani ra pahiran le garda ma kina ho uni prati aakarshit hudai gayeko thahai bhaena. Ek sil swabhav ki nari ma hune sampurna gun uni ma thiyo.

Harek din duiso ko 2 baje dekhi 4 baje samma thiyo usko class. Yo awadhi bhar mero dhyan praya jasho uni taraf nai janthiyo. Huna ta uni jyadai komjor bidyarthi thi. Patak patak bhujauda pani bhujna nikai garo parthiyo unilai. Yas karan aru student haru le mero uni prati ko dhyan lai ramrai rup ma linthiye.

"SLC diyera computer sikna ayako Sir, kehi pani bhujdina". uni bhanne garthi. Nikai lajalu prabhav ki uni kehi prashna garda pani nabhanne ra na sodhne garthi.

Yasari nai din haru bitdai jada hami bich ko mitrata pani badhdai gayo. Aba ta uni ek din dhilo aauda pani ekdum hatas lagthiyo malai. Sathi bhai le pani jiskauthe ki ma unlai kina badhi samay dinchu bhanera. Uni haru sanga bolda pani ma uskai prasansa gareraheko hunthye.

Vastav ma malai maan ma thaha thiyo ki ma aba bistarai uni lai chahana thaleko chu bhanera. Tara yo kura ma unlai kasari bhanne ta? Unko bichar ma k hola? Ahile samma ko mitrata pani tutne ta hoina? Yasta bichar haru maan ma kheli rahenthe.

Usko sathi haru le pani uni le malai indirect rup ma chaheko kura garthe malai. Yasta kura usko sathi haru ko marfat bata sunda k kati ko satya ho thaha thiyena tara pani maan ma ek prakar ko khusi lagthiyo.
Hunata unle malai usko ghar pariwar ko barema ra usko jiwan ka dhuka ko bare ma sunauda ta maile usko yo aatmiyata ko fyada uthayera uslai afno banaunu maan thiyena. Usle k sochthi holi sahar ko keto ma ra uni bhane pahad ki dukhi nari. Maile uslai fakayera fasayeko jasto thanneho ki. Yastai kura le maan khinna hunthiyo.

Tara pani usko ma prati ko lagav le garda aasha chahi thiyo. Ek din maile uslai "Tapai harek din kina kurta shalwar launu huncha, kunai din ta shirt pant pani launu ni" bhaneko thiye.
Nabhandai bholi palta uni shirt pant ma sajiyeki thiye. Mero khyal khyal ko kura ma pani uni sachikai rup ma linthiyi. Yasari hami duwai bich abhibyakta nagariyeko maya thiyo.

Samay pariwartanshil cha. Bageko khola jastai kahile na farkina samay ko gun maile bhujna sakina. Tyasai ko karan ma yo jhangar ma chu.

Bihibar ko din thiyo. Sada jhai maile uslai padhaudai thiye. Tyo din computer ma chatting garne tarika sikaudai thiye. Tyaskai madyam bata uslai mera maan ka kehi bhawana pokhane aat gardai thiye. Usle bhuji ki bhujinan thahai bhayena. Chutine bela ma usle afno photo haru madya euta photo channa lagayi. Ma ta anayol ma nai thiye. Antya ma kalo kurta layeki photo chane. Usle mero pani photo magi. Maile kunai din duila bhane. Tyo din ma jyadai harsit bhayeko thiye. Mero sapana sakar bhaye jastai lagthiyo.

Raat bhar nidauna sakina. Maan ma anek kura khelthiyo. Ma kasari hamro sambandha bhadaune bhanne bare ma sochi rahenthe. Bholi awasya phone garera uslai sabai kura bhanne nirnaya gare nidaye.

"Hello unilai pauna sakincha?"
"Tapai ko bolnu bhayeko uni ta yaha chainan bhedetar ghumna gayeki che"
"Ghumna? Tyaso bhaye kaheli teri aauchin holi ta tapai lai thaha hola?"
"Khoi aja usko bihe cha pathivara mandir ma, kaheli aauchin thahai bhayena"
"Hajur sachai hora? Malai ta thahai bhayena ni. Kasto achamma?"
"Ho ni, Ani hajur chahi ko bolnu bhayeko?"
Tyaspachi ta ma chago bata khase jai bhayo. Kehi naboli phone rakhe. Maan ma anek prashna uthe. Aakhir kina yasto bhayeko?

Tyo din uni padna pani ayenan. Bihe kai din k aau thi. Aba ta sayad audinan nai holi. Yastai soche maile.

Aascharya purwak aaitabar ko din duiso 2 baje ayin uni. Ma sada jhai unkai bato heri raheko thiye. Mero maan aatur bhayi sakeko thiyo uni sanga bhetna lai ra unko mukh bato yo sab jhuto ho bhanneko sunna lai.
Uni najik aya pachi matra unko muhar ra haath ko rato chura le uni kasai ki bhayisakeko kura jhalkai raheko maile dekhe.

Uni ma sanga na bole kana classroom ma chiri. Aru sathi haru ayekai thiyenan. Uni nikai tadha basi. Uslai sodhchu bhannchu bhanne bichar sabai harayo. Uslai matra "Hajur kina tadha basnu bhayeko alik najik basnuhos na" bhane. Mero sabda bhui ma na khasdai uni besari runa thali. Ani bhabhuk maan le afno byatha phoki.

Bihibar ma sanga chutiye pachi ghar jada usko buba le uslai biheko kura sunaunu bhayecha. Usle afno swekriti begar kina yasto garnu bhayeko bhani soddha buba le chori kai valai ko lagi gareko bhannubhayo. Uha le keto ekdumai ramro bhayeko ra uslai jati samma pani padhaune ra herne vacha gareko rahecha. Yasto mauka gumayo bhane afno aama ta sanai ma gumayau feri buba pani gumaunu parla bhannu bhayecha uslai. Afno buba ko yo nirnaya usle biwasta purwak swekar garnu parecha.

Yasari usle sunaudai gai ma sundai thiye. Yasta kura sunda ta arulai patyar na lagla tara usko boli ma ek prakar ko satyata ra nischalta thiyo ki ma usko marma lai ekdumai bhujdai thiye. Uni rudai thiye. Yatikai ma usko baini haru pani tyahi aayi puge. Uni haru lai hamro bare prasta thaha thiyo. Hamro isthiti bhujthe. Maile yatika huda pani phone kina nagare bhani sodhdai thiye.

"Ram Sir k tapai le hamro didi lai  ghar ma aayera tyahi din swekarnu hunthiyo? K tapai ko ghar pariwar le yo kura ma tapai lai saath dinthe?"

Yo kura le ma natamastak bhaye. Huna ta ho maile hamro bare mero pariwar lai kehi khabar gareko thiyina. Daar thiyo ki chora le yati chado yasto kura garera aama buba le maan dukhauchan hola bhanera. Feri yata usko ghar ko najuk sthiti maile pani ramro sanga bhujeko thiye. Eklo buba lai teen chori palna nikai gharo huncha. Uha pani feri zyadai birami hunuhuncha. Tyas karan uha ko nirnaya pani thikai thiyo. Ma jasto bharkar duniya dekna thaleko keto lai bhandai paripakwa ra pariwar palna sakna manche lai dinu swabhavik nai ho. Yastai kura sochdai  samjhaudai thiye unilai. Jeewan ma hamro sambandha yahi samma thiyecha bhandai thiye uslai. Aba ma dharan chodera katai jane kura pani sunaudai thiye. Usle yo sune pachi uskai karan le ho bhani sodhi.
Maile yo sahar ma basda aba uni ra ma dubai lai asar parcha bhanera sahar chodi jane nirnaya gareko sunaye. Yo sune pachi uni tyaha bata sarasar uthera ghar tira gayi. Unko bahini haru le malai uni le antim samaya samma malai nai chaheko kura sunaye. Galti merai thiyo. Sayad maile samai ma nai nirnaya gari usko buba ra mero pariwar lai hamro bare khulasta rup ma bhaneko bhaye sayad yo din aaune thiyena hola. Mero afnai kamjor nirnaya le hami bich ko sambanda tutna pugyo.

Yastai sochdai jada unle bihan usko bahini lai "Ram sir lai  yo chiti ma uha sanga chute pachi dinuhai" bhaneki rahechin. Maile usko chiti padhe. Usko mukh le na bhaneka maan ka bhawana haru lekhe ki rahechin. "TAPAILAI DUKHA NADIU BHANDA BHANDA TAPAI KO JIWAN MA KADA BHAYECHU. MALAI KIRPAYA MAAF GARUDINU HOLA. YO JANMA MA TAPAI KO HUNA SAKINA TARA ARU JUNAI JANMA MA PANI TAPAI LAI NA PARKHINE CHU. TAPAI SADA KHUSI RAHANU. MA BHANDA SUSHIL NARI TAPAI LE PAUNU HUNCHA.

Yastai kura haru sametiyaka thiye chiti ma. Ma aba tyaha bata niskiye. Ghar tira lagdai thiye. Usko chiti mero khalti ma ajhai thiyo.
Mera aakha haru ko dhamilo pana ajhai hateko thiyena. Ghar tarfa lagdai afno anyol jiwan ko bare ma sochdai thiye. Tyas bela euta pasal ko radio ma gunjeko geet malai ahjai yaad cha" BHETIYERA CHUTNU BHANDA NA BHETIYEKAI JAATI HUNTHIYO, HAMI BICHKO SAMBANDHA YO AJHA KATI MATHI HUNTHIYO....................."
