rajni bayi do saal se humare yaha kaam kar rahi hai.jab b ati to ek chid chidapan ek gussa uske swabaw mai nazar ata tha..kabhi isko gali dena kabhi isko kosna... roz mere din ki shuruwat rajni ki awaaz se hi hoti thi..pata ni uski awaz aise hi thi ya chilaa chillaaa k aise ho gayi thi  .khair.. .do saal phle chapra se delhi agae thi. swabhaw ki zara tez zaroor thi wo bhi shayad samaj ki hi den thi..uska pati delhi mai ek karkhane mai kaam krta tha ek hadse mai uski maut ho gayi thi ..aise mai na parivar mai se koi rajni ki sahayta karne aya na samaj se hi..to apne aur apne  jeevan k jeeva yapan k liye delhi agae..yaha yamuna paar ki jhugiyo mai aa kar rhne lagi.

aaj rajni ayi to roz ki tarha uske meejaz mai wo tunak pan ni tha ..na kisi k ghar ki baat kar rahi thi..na apni padosan ko kos rahi thi..chup chap kaam mai lagi padi thi..aisa lagta tha mano apne hi andar umad rahe kisi tufan se lad rahi hai...rajni bayi ki chupi jaise ghar ki dewaro ko b chub rahi thi..maa nai akhir puch hi lia.."kya baat hai? aaj badi chup hai !"
ye sun k rajni k ankhon mai ansu chalak aye
ansuoon ko pochte hue boli "kuch nahi!"
maa samjh nahi payi"to phir ro q rahi hai"
maa ka itna puchna hi tha ki rajni khud ko sambhal nahi payi
jhadu ek taraf rakh kar farash par bhet gayi aur uska dard uski ankhon se bhne laga
maa nai rajni bayi ko sahara dete hue uthaya.."ary rajni hua kya hai kuch to bata?"
main hall mai hi bhet t.v dkh rahi thi maa nai mjhe bhete dkha to datte hue boli.."band karo is t.v ko jab dkho t.v t.v..ja k rajni bayi k liye pani le kar ao.."maine t.v band kar dia aur pani lene chali gayi ..mjhe samjh nahi arha tha k jo rajni bayi kabhi kisi k dukh pe b zada afsos nahi dikhate aaj aisa kya ho gaya jo fut fut kar ro rahi hai..maine pani le ja kar maa ko de dia
"le rajni pani pe le"maa nai pani rajni bayi ki or badhate hue kaha
rajni bayi nai phle to mjhe dkha phir pani k glass ko ,jane kya soch rahi thi...phir kuch soch kar pani ka glass le lia
"ab bata hua kya hai?"maa nai pucha
main wahi khadi ho gyi ..janna chati thi k baat kya hai
maa nai mjhe khada dkha to bol padi"ayesha jao ja kar padhae mai dimag lagao"
main waha se jan to nahi chathi thi magar maa ke ankhon ke ishare k agey meri ek na chali..aur waha se jane mai hi apni bhalae samjhi..
mere andar jate hi maa nai rajni bayi se pucha "ab bata baat kya hai"
main andar ke darwaze ke pass hi khadi ho gayi kyuki maa ki awaaz waha tak phuch rahi thi
"mem sahab kal mere makan malik nai mere ghar ka sara saman ghar se bhar nikal dia"rajni bayi khud ko sambhalte hue boli..
"kyu? tune kiraya nahi dia kya ?" maa nai ashcharya jate hue pucha
"mem sahab main apne jeevan ki kasam  kha kar khti hu ki har mahine ki 11 tarik ki irha iss bar b maine kiraya waqt par de diya tha magar..."
"magar kya?"
"magara shayad us kamre par rhne k liye kiraya dena hi kafi nahi "ye khte hi rajni bayi ki siskiyan ek baar phir ban ayi thi..
"matlab saaf saaf bata kehna kya chahti hai?"
"mem sahab parson raat mera makan malik sharab k nashe mai mere ghar ghus aya..aur...mjse zabardsti karne ki koshsh karne laga....maine ussey bhut mana kia magar wo nahi mana..khud ko bachane k liye maine chule mai se ek garam etah usk sur pe de mari.."
"phir?'maa nai pucha
"phir kya us raat to wo chala gaya..magar kal jo usne kia wo ussi ka badla tha..jab jeevan nai usey saman bahar karne se mana kia to usey b bhut mara.."
"ary tere kisi aas paas wale nai usey rokne ki koshsh nahi ki?"
"ye sab tamasha dkhne k liye hai mem sahab.... hum garibo ki madad ko koi nahi ata"apne ansuon ko pochte hue rajni bayi apni sari kahani suna gayi..
"jeevan kahan hai?"
"meena mausi k yaha chod kar ayi hu kal se bukhar se tap raha hai...mem sahab ab main kaam na kar pauge.."
"kaam nahi karege to ghar kaise chalaege..?...kahi aur ghar le le...thodi din humare ghar reh ja jab kamra mil jae to chali jan.." maa nai kaha
"nahi mem sahab ab kisi par bharosa karne ko jee nahi chata.."
"magar kahan jaege ? kahan rahege?"maa uski baaton ko samjh nahi paaa rahi thi
"wo to main nahi janti..magar chali jauge aise samjh se kahi durr jahan hum garibo ki sudh lene wala b koi ho"rajni bayi ye keh kar jane lagi..
main b ab tak hall mai aa chuki thi
maa nai rajni se do min rukne ko kaha aur andar chali gayi...rajni bayi ki nazre jane aakash mai kya talash kar rahi thi ..
"le ye rakh le.."maa nai kuch paise rajni bayi ko dene chahe
"magar.. is mahine ki pagar to main le chuki"hichkichate hue rajni nai kaha
"rakh le bure waqt mai tere kaam aenge"ye khte hue maa nai paise rajni k hath mai rkh diye..
"ni mai ye nahi le skti"ye keh kar rajni bayi nai wo paise maa ko waise hi wapas kar diye..."acha chalti hu"keh kar rajni bayi chali gayi..
main wahi khadi is soch mai pad gayi k
