Zindagi kabhi kabhi itni tez bhaagti hai ki hum sochte hain sab kuch control me hai. Hum kal par bharosa karte hain. Hum sochte hain ki jo baat aaj nahi keh paaye, kal keh denge. Lekin kabhi kabhi woh kal aata hi nahi.
Yeh kahani hai Rohan ki. Ek aisa ladka jo apni zindagi me bahut busy tha, bahut focused tha, lekin shayad sabse zaroori cheez ko samajhne me thoda late ho gaya.
Ek simple zindagi, ek simple rishta
Rohan ek middle class family se tha. Uski maa uski sabse badi support system thi. Bachpan se lekar aaj tak, har chhoti badi cheez me maa hi uske saath khadi rahi.
Subah school ke liye uthana, lunch banana, exam ke time uske paas baithna, har baar jab Rohan fail hone se darta tha, uski maa kehti, “Tu bas koshish kar, baaki sab theek ho jayega.”
Rohan ke liye uski maa sirf maa nahi thi, woh uski best friend thi.
Bade sapne aur badalte rishte
Time ke saath Rohan bada hua. College gaya, phir job ke liye dusre shehar shift ho gaya.
Shuru shuru me woh har roz maa ko call karta tha. Har baat share karta tha. Lekin dheere dheere calls kam hone lage.
Office ka kaam badhne laga. Meetings, deadlines, targets, sab kuch itna hectic ho gaya ki Rohan ko lagne laga ki uske paas waqt hi nahi hai.
Maa roz call karti thi. Kabhi kabhi Rohan busy hota toh call cut kar deta, aur sochta baad me baat kar lunga.
Lekin woh “baad me” aksar kabhi nahi aata tha.
Maa ka intezaar
Ghar par maa roz shaam ko phone lekar baith jaati thi. Usse pata hota tha ki Rohan kab free hota hai.
Woh call karti. Kabhi phone busy hota, kabhi ring jaati rehti aur koi uthata nahi.
Phir woh khud hi muskurakar kehti, “Busy hoga mera beta.”
Aur phone side me rakh deti.
Lekin uski aankhon me ek chhota sa intezaar reh jaata.
Ek chhoti si baat jo badi ban gayi
Ek din maa ne Rohan ko call kiya. Rohan ek important meeting me tha.
Usne call cut kar diya.
Phir maa ne dobara call kiya.
Is baar Rohan thoda irritate ho gaya. Usne phone uthaya aur thoda gusse me bola, “Maa main busy hoon, baar baar call mat kiya karo na.”
Do second ke liye chup ho gaya sab kuch.
Maa ne sirf itna kaha, “Theek hai beta, baad me baat karte hain.”
Uski awaaz me halka sa dard tha, lekin Rohan ne us waqt dhyan nahi diya.
Usne phone rakh diya aur meeting me chala gaya.

Woh aakhri baat
Us din ke baad maa ne Rohan ko call nahi kiya.
Rohan ne bhi nahi.
Usne socha maa naraaz hogi, kal call kar lunga.
Kal par kal aata gaya.
3 din, 4 din, 5 din.
Phir ek din Rohan ko uske padosi ka call aaya.
“Aap jaldi ghar aaiye… aunty ki tabiyat bahut kharab hai.”
Rohan ka dil zor se dhadakne laga.
Usne turant ticket book ki aur ghar ke liye nikal gaya.
Der ho chuki thi
Jab Rohan ghar pahuncha, tab tak sab khatam ho chuka tha.
Uski maa ja chuki thi.
Ghar ke bahar log the. Andar se roti hui awaazein aa rahi thi.
Rohan ke pair ruk gaye.
Usne dheere se andar jaakar dekha.
Maa shaant padi thi.
Jaise woh so rahi ho.
Lekin yeh neend kabhi nahi tootne wali thi.
Ek call jo kabhi nahi uthaya gaya
Rohan toot gaya.
Woh maa ke paas baith kar rote hue bas ek hi baat keh raha tha, “Maa ek baar aur call kar leti… main utha leta… main baat kar leta…”
Usne maa ka phone uthaya.
Last dialed number uska hi tha.
Woh call jo usne gusse me uthaya tha… wahi aakhri call tha.
Chhupi hui baatein
Rohan ne maa ki almari kholi.
Wahan ek chhoti si diary thi.
Us diary me har din ke baare me likha tha.
“Today Rohan didn’t pick my call, maybe he is busy.”
“Kal baat hogi.”
“Mera beta bahut mehnat kar raha hai.”
Aakhri page par likha tha,
“Aaj thoda sa chest me dard hai, socha Rohan ko call karu, par disturb nahi karungi. Woh busy hoga.”
Rohan ke haath kaampne lage.
Uski aankhon se aansu ruk nahi rahe the.
Pachtawa jo kabhi khatam nahi hota
Us din ke baad Rohan ki zindagi badal gayi.
Uske paas sab kuch tha, achhi job, paisa, success.
Lekin maa nahi thi.
Aur sabse bada dard yeh tha ki uske paas mauka tha, lekin usne use use nahi kiya.
Woh har roz phone uthata, maa ka number dekhta, lekin ab woh number kabhi ring nahi karta.
Ek seekh jo bahut der se samajh aayi
Zindagi me hum aksar un logon ko ignore kar dete hain jo humse sabse zyada pyaar karte hain.
Hum sochte hain ki woh hamesha rahenge.
Lekin sach yeh hai ki waqt kisi ke liye rukta nahi.
Aur jab tak hum samajhte hain, tab tak bahut der ho chuki hoti hai.
Aakhri ehsaas
Aaj bhi Rohan jab phone dekhta hai, toh usse lagta hai ki kaash ek baar maa ka call aa jaye.
Kaash woh phir se bole, “Beta free ho kya?”
Aur iss baar woh bina soche samjhe bas itna kahe, “Haan maa, main free hoon… bolo.”
Lekin kuch awaazein ek baar chali jaati hain, phir kabhi wapas nahi aati.
Aur kuch calls… hamesha ke liye miss ho jaate hain.
