Chapter 17: Aghor Garbh – Janm Nayi Shakti Ka
Andhera…
Pichle pal tak jo andhera Aghor Garbh ka hissa tha, ab wo Pankaj ke andar sama chuka tha।
Uska sharir zameen par pada tha। Saans bahut halki… jaise har agla pal aakhri ho sakta ho।
Lekin andar—
sab kuch badal raha tha।
Dard…
Aisa dard jo pehle kabhi mehsoos nahi hua।
Jaise har haddi tod kar dobara jodi ja rahi ho।
Har ragg… har nas… jal rahi ho।
Pankaj ki aankhen band thi, lekin uske dimag me tasveerein chal rahi thi।
Wahi battlefield…
Wahi budha aadmi…
Wahi aankhen…
Is baar wo sapna nahi tha।
Wo saamne khada tha।
Pankaj dheere se khada hua—lekin ye uska sharir nahi tha।
Ye ek alag jagah thi।
Ek purana battlefield… jahan hawa me maut ki boo thi।
Aur uske saamne—
wohi budha aadmi।
“Phir mil gaye…” budhe ne dheere se kaha।
Uski awaaz me bojh tha… lekin shakti usse bhi zyada।
Pankaj ne seedha uski taraf dekha।
“Tum kaun ho…?”
Budha aadmi halka sa hasa।
“Tumne pehle hi mehsoos kar liya tha…”
“Main sirf koi purana clan leader nahi hoon…”
Wo dheere-dheere aage badha।
Har kadam ke saath zameen par dararein pad rahi thi।
“Main hoon… us shakti ka bacha hua hissa…”
“Jo kabhi is duniya ko control karti thi…”
Pankaj ki aankhen sikud gayi।
“Matlab…?”
Budhe ne apna haath uthaya।
Uske aas-paas andhera ghoomne laga।
“Bahut pehle…” usne dheere se kaha,
“Is duniya me kuch log the… jinhe log ‘Rakshak’ kehte the…”
“Lekin sach me…”
“Wo shikari the…”
Ek pal ke liye sab kuch ruk gaya।
“Main unme se ek tha…”
Pankaj ne gehri saans li।
“Ab?”
Budha aadmi uske bilkul saamne aa gaya।
“Ab… main sirf ek yaad hoon…”
“Ek bacha hua tukda…”
Usne seedha Pankaj ki aankhon me dekha।
“Lekin tum…”
“Tum alag ho…”
Pankaj chup raha।
Budha aadmi ne apna haath uske sir ke paas laaya।
“Tumhare andar bhi wahi beej hai…”
Jaise hi uska haath paas aaya—
Pankaj ke sharir me ek jhatka laga।
Reality wapas aayi।
Pankaj zameen par pada tha।
Uska sharir ab bhi hil raha tha।
[SYSTEM EVOLUTION IN PROGRESS]
Uski skin par laal rekhayein ubharne lagi।
Jaise khoon khud bahar aa raha ho।
Uski saans tez ho gayi।
Phir—
ek zor ka jhatka।
Pankaj achanak uth baitha।
Uski aankhen khul gayi।
Laal।
Poora environment badal gaya।
Aghor Garbh ki hawa uske aas-paas ghoomne lagi।
Jaise wo usse pehchan rahi ho।
Pankaj dheere se khada hua।
Usne apne haath ko dekha।
Ungliyon ke beech laal energy nach rahi thi।
“Ye…” usne dheere se kaha।
Usne apni muthi band ki।
Hawa hil gayi।
Usne aas-paas dekha।
Sab kuch clear tha।
Har awaaz tez…
har movement slow।
“Evolution complete…” usne dheere se bola।

Pankaj ne aankhen band ki।
Aur phir—
apni nayi power ko mehsoos kiya।
Uske aas-paas ki hawa bhaari ho gayi।
Door andhere me kuch hilne laga।
Is baar—
wo nahi ruka।
Wo seedha us direction me badha।
Aghor Garbh ke andar ab wo shikari nahi…
king banne ki taraf badh raha tha।
Usne rukkar ek baar peeche dekha।
Jaise kuch yaad kar raha ho।
“Rakshak…” usne dheere se kaha।
Uski aankhon me ab sirf ek cheez thi—
shakti।
Aur sach।
“Ab… main samajh gaya…”
Wo phir se andhere me aage badh gaya।
Aur is baar—
andhera usse nigalne ki koshish nahi kar raha tha…
wo uska hissa ban raha tha।
