Saas Ny Zeher Mila Diya Main Marne Sy Pahly Ya Kr Gayi

*Chapter 4: Saas Ne Zeher Mila Diya - Main Marne Se Pehle Ye Kar Gayi* Zehar ka ghoont halak se neeche utra aur main muskura di. Saas samjhi main haar gayi. Uske chehre pe wo jeet ki muskurahat thi jo shayad usne mere nikah wale din bhi nahi dikhayi thi. Haath mein chai ka khaali cup pakre main sofe pe gir gayi. "Aakhir kaar jaan chhooti" saas ne dheere se kaha. Usko laga main behosh ho gayi hun. Lekin saas nahi jaanti thi ke main 3 din se thora thora zehar pi rahi thi. Body ko aadi bana rahi thi. Kyun? Kyunki mujhe pata tha ye din aye ga. *3 Din Pehle...* Raat ke 2 bajay thay. Main paani peene kitchen gayi to dekha saas kisi se phone pe baat kar rahi thi. "Haan bhai, kaam ho jaye ga. Is hafte hi. Zehar wali chai. Koi saboot nahi rahe ga. Saari jaidad phir mere betay ki." Mera khoon khaul gaya. 5 saal se main is ghar ki naukrani bani hui thi. Mera shohar Dubai mein, aur yahan saas mere saath kya kya nahi karti thi. Tab main ne faisla kiya. Agar marna hai to akeli nahi marungi. Agley din main ne bazaar se chuhe maar dawa khareedi. Bilkul thori si. Roz raat ko doodh mein mila kar peeti. Pehle din ulti aayi. Doosre din chakkar. Teesre din... body maan gayi. *Aaj...* Zehar mere khoon mein tha, lekin itna nahi ke main foran mar jaun. Bas itna ke main behosh hone ka natak kar sakun. Saas mere paas aayi. Meri nabz check ki. "Chal khatam" keh kar kamre se nikal gayi. Uske jaate hi main ne aankh kholi. Mobile nikala. Video record pe laga tha. Pichle 10 min ki sari baat record ho gayi thi. Saas ki "jaan chhooti" wali line bhi. Lekin ye kafi nahi tha. Mujhe saboot chahiye tha ke usne zehar diya. Main larkharaate hue kitchen gayi. Wohi chai ki pti abhi wahan pari thi. Us mein se thora sa zehar abhi bhi baaki tha. Main ne tissue se sample liya, plastic ki theli mein daala. Phir main seedha apne kamre gayi. Almari se shohar ki purani shirt nikali. Us pe bhi chai giri thi us din jab saas ne "ghalti se" gira di thi. 3 din purana saboot. *Asli Khel Ab Shuru Hua...* Main ne 3 logon ko message kiya: 1. *Police Station:* "Mujhe zehar diya gaya hai. Ghar pe aayen. Address..." Send. 2. *Mera Bhai:* "Video upload kar raha hun. Agar main na rahi to ye police ko de dena." Send. 3. *Shohar ko Dubai:* "Tumhari maa ne mujhe maar diya. Video dekh lo. Talaq nama bhej rahi hun." Send. Saas ko laga main mar gayi. Usne foran apne betay ko call ki. "Beta kaam ho gaya. Bahu ko heart attack ho gaya. Doctor ko bula liya hai. Tu tension na le." Main bathroom mein chup ke sun rahi thi. Record kar rahi thi. 15 min baad police aa gayi. Saas ke hosh urr gaye. "Ye... ye kyun aaye?" Main darwaze pe khari thi. Zinda. Haath mein mobile. Chehre pe muskurahat. "Kyun saas ji? Heart attack wali maut pe police kyun aayi?" Saas ka rang urr gaya. "Tu... tu zinda hai?" "Zinda hun. Aur tumhare liye maut ban ke aayi hun." Main ne mobile uske munh ke aage kiya. Video play ki. Uski awaaz goonji: "Aakhir kaar jaan chhooti". Police ne foran chai ki pti kabze mein li. Tissue wala sample bhi. Saas chillane lagi "Ye jhoot hai! Ye khudkushi kar rahi thi!" Tab main ne shohar ki shirt nikali. "3 din pehle wali chai? Wo bhi test kara lein. Us mein bhi zehar mile ga. Kyunki saas ji, aap 3 din se koshish kar rahi thin na?" Shohar ki call aa gayi. Speaker pe daali. Dubai se chillaya: "Ammi! Aap ne ye kya kiya? Main talaq de raha hun isko... nahi nahi aapko! Aap meri maa nahi ho sakti!" Saas ghutnon ke bal gir gayi. Police use le jaane lagi to main uske paas gayi. Dheere se kaano mein kaha: "Saas ji, aap ne kaha tha na bahu beti nahi hoti? Sahi kaha tha. Kyunki beti maa ko zehar nahi deti. Bahu deti hai. Aap ne mujhe zehar ki chai pilayi. Main ne aapko zehar ki zindagi de di. Ab jail mein roz sochna ke bahu ko maarna asaan tha, bahu se bachna mushkil." Wo rote hue police ki gaari mein baith gayi. Main ghar ke darwaze pe khari thi. Zehar ka asar ab khatam ho raha tha. Kamzor thi, lekin zinda thi. Aur azaad thi. Mobile pe message aaya. Bhai ka: "Video viral ho gayi. 2 lakh views. Sab tere saath hain." Doosra message. Shohar ka: "Talaq ke kaaghaz phaar diye. Main aa raha hun Pakistan. Maafi." Main ne dono message delete kar diye. Mujhe na shohar chahiye, na maafi. Mujhe bas ye chahiye tha ke duniya dekhe ke ek bahu ko kamzor samajhne ka anjaam kya hota hai. Zehar mere halak se utar chuka tha. Lekin badla... badla abhi meri ragon mein daur raha tha. *Khatam
