The tale of the Dead Island

Nikhil ke office me workload kam tha, garmio ke wajese market bhi thori slow chal rahi thi. Uski patni Maya bhi chutti pe thi. Akhir itni garmi main kon sa school khula raheta hain. Ek din subha Nikhil nid se jag ne ke bad har roz ki tarah akhbar par raha tha, achanak ek parcha gira akhbar se, usne utha kar dekha to wo ek advertisement thi goa ke ek trip ki. Usne Maya ko bataya wo razi ho gayi. 2 din bad wo nikal pare garmio ka maza uthane. Goa ka samandar kisko nahi pasand! bohot maza a raha tha un dono ko goa main, sight scenes, sunset or bhi bohot kuch, mano wo dono kho chuke the apne dunia main. Ab aysehi ek din ki bat hain Maya beach pe tahel rahi thi ki use ek biran island dikha, wo zyada dur nahi tha. Unke goa main aye hue 5 din ho chuke the, lag bhag sari jagah dekh chuke the wo dono. Maya ne Nikhil ko manaya us island main jane ke lie, bohot manane ke bad wo raji hua, agle din wo dono chal pare boat ke khoj pe, wo jisko puch rahe the sab log island me jane ki bat sun kar bhag rahe the un dono se dur, Maya or Nikhil ko kuch samajh nahi a raha tha. Koi ayesa admi nahi tha jo unhe le jae, Wo dono island ko sirf dur se dekh hi rahe the ki piche se ek admi akar ke Nikhil ko puchta hain.
"Kya sahab sun raha hu ki ap dono us jagha pe jana chahate ho? Keu goa main jagah kam par gaya kya?"
Nikhil achanak dar jata hain. Piche mur kar wo dekhta hain ki ak burha admi lambe lambe safed bal, purane kapre or hat main ek kulhari lekar khara hua tha. Nikhil jawab deta hain.
"Ha jana to chahate hain lekin koi nahi hain jo le ja sake, kya ap le ja sakte hain?"
wo admi chup raha sirf ishara karke un dono ko apne sath chalne ke lie bola. Kuch dur chalne ke bad ek boat ke pas ake wo ruk gaya, phir paiso ki bat karne laga, wo jitna mang raha tha wo Nikhil ke lie bohot Zyada tha, Nikhil bhi usse mol bhao karne laga, Akhir wo ek Sales ka larka tha, Akhir me us admi ne Nikhil se ek sawal pucha.
"Kya saheb apke lie kya zyada pyari hain jan ya paisa?"
Ye bat sun kar Nikhil kuch der chup raha, Maya ke kano tak mano ye bat ja hi nahi ja rahi thi wo sirf woha jane ke bare main soch rahi thi, Nikhil ne admi ko bola.
"Paisa!"
Wo admi has para or boat main baith ne ko bola. Wo tino nikal pare us island ki or.Kinare se lag raha tha ki island bohot pas hain lekin woha jate jate 2 ghanta bit gaya. Kinare par boat takrane ke bad Maya uchal kar dorne lagi. wo jangal ke taraf ja hi rahi thi ki achanak wo ruk gayi or chilla uthi.
" Nikhil, Nikhil"
Nikhil dar gaya ye soch kar ki kya hua hoga. wo awaz sun kar dor para, us admi ko usne woha rukne ko bola,jab wo Maya ke pas aya to dekha ki Maya has rahi thi. Nikhil ko gussa bhi a raha tha or santi bhi, usne pucha,
"Chillayi keu?"
Maya boli
"Are! keu na chillau kinare se lag raha tha ek mamuli island hain, lekin yaha ane ke bad lag raha hain main apni sari zindagi yaha bita sakti hu, itna sundar hain, koi nahi sirf main or tum."
Nikhil has para Maya ki bachpana dekh kar.
"Acha baba thik hain Zarur bitana, lekin abhi to sapne se bahar ao or chalo mere sath, us admi se bat bhi karni hain"
Wo dono jab kinare par ae woha koi nahi tha. Wo admi ja chuka tha unhe akela chor kar. Sham dhalni suru ho chuki thi Nikhil ko lag raha tha wo admi zarur ayega unhe le jane ke lie lekin koi nahi aya,
ab Nikhil ko dar lag raha tha, wo kaise jaiga wapas. Maya abhi bhi apne sapno main khoi hoi thi use bhanak bhi nahi tha ki kya hone wala tha un dono ke sath.Nikhil ke pas sirf kuch chocolates thi or ek lighter. Usne kuch lakrio ka jugar kia or ag jalaya, Ab Maya bhi dhire dhire sapno se bahar a rahi thi use bhi ab is island ka dar satane laga tha. Nikhil ne socha ki aj rat yahi kinare par bita kar kal subha island ke us taraf jane ki, taki kuch madat mil pae. rat ho chuki thi dono ka pet chocolates or nariel ke pani se bhar chuka tha Maya gaheri nid main ja chuki thi. Nikhil ko nid nahi a rahi thi, kaise bhi kar ke wo bhi so gaya. Adhi rat ho gayi Nikhil jag gaya usne dusri or ghumne ki kosis ki par wo ghum nahi pa raha tha, wo apne hat ko hila nahi pa raha tha, nid puri khulene ke bad wo zor se chilla utha.
"AAAAAAAA-AAAAAAA"
Uska hat adha ho chuka tha, usne akhe uthai to dekha baki ka hat samne khara hua ek janwar ke jabre par tha, Nikhil apne hi khun se bhig chuka tha,janwar ke muh se lar tapak rahi thi mano wo Nikhil ko pura zinda chaba sakta hain usne maya ho uthane ki kosis ki par dekha ki woha Maya ki sirf sar pari thi baki ka sarir mano gawab ho gaya tha. Ag bhi thori thori jal rahi thi..Nikhil ne usi jalte lakri ko utha kar us janwar ki or feka.wo janwar bhag gaya. Nikhil ka dard barta hi ja raha tha. usne isi halat main phir sone ki kosis ki par so nahi paya, thori der main subha ho gaya, Wo maya ke sar ke pas baitha hua tha or ro raha tha, usne socha ki wo wohi intezar karega kisi ka, lekin koi faida nahi koi nahi tha woha. Nikhil uth gaya usne than lia ki island ke us or wo aj jaega. Wo chal para, uska hat sujh gaya tha. Jangal main kuch dur chalne ke bad wo kisi cheez se takra kar gir gaya. Usne uth kar dekha to wo insan ka hat tha wo bhi kata hua jo usi ke taraf rengte hue a raha tha. Usne charo or nazre ghumai to Aise ek nahi Hazaro hat a raha tha uski or . Wo dar gaya bhag ne laga kuch dur bhag ne bad ek ghar ke samne akar wo ruka. Ghar ko dekh kar mano jannat nasib ho gaya tha use. Usne darwaza Khat khataya koi nahi khola, ek awaz sunai dia use jaise koi kulhari se lakri kat raha tha usne ghar ke piche ja kar dekha ak burah admi lakri kat raha tha. Uske asu nahi ruk rahe the .use jine ka ek zaria dikh chuka tha. pas jate hi usne dekha wohi safed bal wohi kapre.
"Aree! tum?" Nikhil chik para. wo soch raha tha jis kulhari se wo admi lakri kat raha hain usi se uska sar kat de.Par nahi ho paya. Wo admi ke pairo pe gir para or rone laga.
usne bola.
"Keu, keu, keu ?? hamne kya bigara tha tumhara, keu kia aisa tumne?"
Wo admi phir se has para or bola.
"Aphi ne to kaha tha ki paisa zyada pyari hain, islie main jan le raha hu."
Ea bol kar wo piche mur gaya, Or wo kate hat mitti se bahar akar Nikhil ko apne Sath le gaye......
