Pasine me bheege mere kapde aur dhandti dhandi hawa…
Raste par chalti gaadiyon ka shor aur bachon ki awaaz…
Sab kuch ek saath goonj rahi thi.
Main dheere-dheere school se ghar ki taraf chal rahi thi…
Har kadam par thoda thakawat mehsoos ho rahi thi,
lekin andar hi andar khushi bhi thi — ghar jaane ki aur batane ke ki aaj school mai kiya kiya hua.
Aaj school me kya hua?"- pyaar se puchti mumma
ma'am ne kaha hai ki exam aane wale hain."
"Dekhao mujhe." - Mumma date sheet dikhati hue .
"Mumma, agar hum pass ho gaye toh new school me jayenge?"
maine utsukta se poocha
"Haan… lekin uske liye tumhe achhe marks lane honge."
Mumma ne pyar se samjhaya.
"Thik hai…"
maine sirf haan me sir hila diya.
"Chalo ab jaldi se baitho aur ise khao."
Mumma ne khana mere plate me daalte hue khana.
"Ab mujhe aur nahi khana, mera paith bhar gaya."
maine surr hilate hue kaha.
"Achha thik hai, tum apna school ka kaam jaldi khatam kar lo."
"Nahi Mumma, abhi mujhe khelna hai, fir kaam karungi."
"Thik hai… lekin tumhe saara kaam aaj khud se karna hoga." - mumma
"Okay Mumma, mai jaa rahi hoon."
"Dhyan se…" - mumma
Kuch time baad…
"Chalo, bahut der ho gayi hai, jaldi aao aur apna kaam karo. Nahi toh ma'am punishment dengi "
"Thik hai …"
"Yeh lo, mera kaam ho gaya."
"Mumma , dekha maine saara kaam khud kiya hai." - khushi se khate hue
"Very good!
Mumma ke pass jaate hue…
"Mumma… mujhe neend aa rahi hai."
TV ki awaaz aur khane ka shor se uthkar mai
"Mumma" - ankhe milte hue
"Papa! Aap aa gaye."
"Haan beta."
"Papa, yeh dekho, aaj maine khud se kaam kiya hai."
"Sach me?"
"Haan… bahut badiya! Aise hi tumhe exam me bhi karna hoga."
"Dekho, mai tumhare liye kya laaya hoon."
"Kya laye ho?" - kushi se uchalte hue pucha
"Vo toh khana khane ke baad pata chalega. Pehle aao aur khana kha lo." - smile ke saath papa ne khaa.
"Thik hai…"
Khana khatam hone ke baad…
Papa mera khana ho gya, aab batao kiya laye ho..
"Yeh dekho!"
"Ice cream!"
"Thank you Papa!
Mujhe aur chahiye…" - katori chate hue maine kha
"Nahi, bachk ko jyada ice cream nahi khane chaiye."
"Papa…" - dekhte hue mai
"Mumma sahi keh rahi hai, ab jaldi jao bag pack kar lo aur so jao. Subah school bhi toh jana hai na."
"Hmm…"
Itni jaldi so gayi… - kaam khatam karne ke baad mumma
"Muskan ke mam ne yeh diya tha " - date sheet dekhate hue mumma .
"Aare… firr toh kal iska school hai hi nhi. "
koi baat nahi.
Aur is tarah…
Exam nazdik aane ka din aa gya .
