Mummy bank gayi, khaata khaali tha

Main chhabbees saal ka hoon. ITI ke doosre saal mein tha jab ek dost ne raat ko link bheja — Dragon Tiger. Bola thoda daal ke dekh, sau pachaas ka do sau ho jaata hai. Maine ek sau pachaas daale, paanch sau ho gaye, nikaal liye. Do din baad do hazaar haar gaya. Phir dost se teen hazaar udhaar liye, woh bhi gaye, aur usse jhagda ho gaya. Yahin se sab shuru hua.

Papa kisan hain. Khet se jo paisa aaya, kareeb chhe lakh, woh unke khaate mein tha. Unhe banking samajh nahi aati. Unhone kaha beta tu rakh le, ghar mein kabhi zaroorat padi toh nikal lena. Paisa mere khaate mein aa gaya.

Us saal IPL chal raha tha. Reels mein betting ke ad aate the. Bees hazaar gaya. Phir usko recover karne ke chakkar mein dheere dheere sab gaya. Mere apne do lakh bhi the, woh bhi. Kul milaake das lakh.

Do mahine baad papa ki tabiyat kharab ho gayi. Brain ka operation hona tha. Ghar se phone aaya ki khaate se ek-dedh lakh bhej de. Maine bees hazaar bheje aur phir taal diya, bol diya bank mein dikkat chal rahi hai.

Phir mummy khud bank gayi, gaon ke ek ladke ko saath leke. Khaate mein chaar-paanch hazaar the.

Ghar walon ne idhar-udhar se maang ke dedh-do lakh jode. Rishtedaron ne das-pandrah hazaar karke diye. Operation ho gaya. Papa ab theek hain, khaana khaate hain, mujhse baat bhi karte hain. Woh kabhi nahi poochte ki tune paisa kya kiya.

Dedh saal ho gaya, main ghar nahi gaya. Woh phone karke bulate hain — aa ja, ek baar dekh ke ja. Main kaise jaoon. Woh ghar ka paisa tha.

Main ek company mein technician hoon, night shift. Haath mein sattaais hazaar aate hain. Ghar aath-nau hazaar bhejta hoon aur mummy ko alag se dawai ke liye deta hoon.

Pandrah din pehle maine phir khel liya. PF ke assi hazaar ke aas paas bache the. Maine socha do lakh ban jayenge, ghar mein de doonga aur ek baar ghar ho aaunga. Sab chale gaye.

Ek dost ka dedh lakh bhi dena hai. Phone ka tees hazaar ka loan alag chal raha hai.

Call pe mujhe bahut daant padi. Ki paise chukane ka intezaar mat kar, pehle ghar ja, papa ke pair pakad aur maafi maang — kyunki teri umar chhabbees hai aur unki saath. Maine kaha ki ek ek rupya wapas karunga. Woh baat sach hai. Par abhi mere paas kuch bhi nahi hai.
