🎧 Part 10: “मिट्टी की आवाज़”
Hawa ruk gayi thi.
Narakpur gaon pe ek ajeeb sa sannata tha,
jaise zameen khud kuch chupana chahti ho.
Pandit Rudra Nath ke baad gaon me koi bhi
mandir ke paas nahi gaya.
Par kuch saal baad ek reporter aaya —
Arjun Deshmukh, “Mystery India” channel se.
Usne suna tha —
“Narakpur ki zameen bolti hai.”
Kamera, mic aur recorder ke saath wo station ke paas pahucha.
Gaon wale mana kar rahe the,
par Arjun bola —
“Main sach dhoondhne aaya hoon.”
Arjun ne camera on kiya.
Screen me kuch nahi dikh raha tha,
sirf hawa chal rahi thi.
Phir ground vibration aayi —
aur recorder me ek halki si female voice capture hui:
“Wapas jao…”
Arjun ne kaha,
“Kaun hai wahan?”
Zameen se ek awaaz aayi —
aesi jaise koi mitti ke andar baat kar raha ho:
“Main zinda hoon… main yahan dafan hoon…”
Arjun ne torch jala kar dekha —
railway track ke side pe mitti se nikalte haath.
Kaale, sookhe, lekin hil rahe the.
Kamera blink karne laga,
aur background me ek purani aurat ki hansi.
“Mitti sirf khilti nahi… kha bhi jaati hai.”
Arjun peeche hatne laga —
par uske pair ke niche kuch khokhla tha.
Usne torch lagayi —
ek purani bali ka kund tha,
jisme aadhe sookhe laash ke tukde pade the,
aur beech me ek lohe ka whistle.
Usne haath lagaya —
aur turant zameen ne uska haath pakad liya.
Recorder me scream aayi:
“Sanchita! Ye sab tune kiya?”
Aur uske baad hawa me goonj —
“Maine nahi… unhone mujhe zinda dafan kiya tha.”
Pata chala,
Sanchita pe “kala jadoo” ka ilzaam lagaya gaya tha —
jab uske fiancé Raghav train ke saath gayab hua,
to logon ne kaha wo bad luck aurton me se hai.
Usse zinda zameen me gaad diya gaya,
aur wahi se uska shraap paida hua —
“Jis mitti ne mujhe nigla,
ab wo har saal ek insaan niglegi.”
Aur us din se,
Narakpur Express ban gayi atmaon ki savari.
Train jo na track pe chalti hai,
na waqt pe rukti hai —
wo bas un logon ke liye aati hai,
jo mitti ki awaaz sun lete hain.
Arjun kabhi wapas nahi aaya.
Bas uska camera mila,
jisme last frame me likha tha:
“Recording... मिट्टी बोलती है।”
Aur tab se har raat 2:13 baje,
gaon ki zameen se kahin door horn bajta hai,
aur hawa me ek fufkar gunjti hai —
“Platform clear hai...
अगला यात्री तैयार है…”
🌑 रात 2:00 — Station के पास⚰️ शाप की जड़
