BHOOT – Episode: Bhootiya Kitaab Bolti Hai

Tagline: "Har kitaab gyaan nahi deti... kuch kitaabein chetavni deti hain."

Do mahine pehle, Deep, ek mehnati student, apni class ka topper banne ke liye din-raat padhai kar raha tha.

Ek din usne purani books ki dukaan se ek ajeeb si kitaab kharidi.

Shaam ko jab woh padhne baitha, achanak kitaab table par uchhalne lagi aur uske panne apne aap palatne lage.

Deep ne socha ki shayad hawa ki wajah se aisa ho raha hai.

Lekin jab usne dobara padhna shuru kiya, toh usne dekha ki kitaab ke shabd dheere-dheere gayab ho rahe hain.

Tabhi ek chhote ladke ka chehra kitaab ke andar se bahar nikla.

Deep darr gaya.

Achanak kitaab hawa mein udne lagi aur uska peecha karne lagi.

Deep gir gaya aur chot kha baitha.

Woh bhoot uske kaan ke paas aakar phusphusaya—

"Maine mana kiya tha... yeh kitaab mat padh. Warna tum mar jaoge."

Agale hi pal sab kuch shaant ho gaya.

Kitaab zameen par padi thi.

Deep ne socha ki shayad yeh koi bura sapna tha.

Usne himmat karke kitaab phir kholi.

Is baar usne ek aadmi ko pankhe se latka hua dekha.

Woh aadmi dheere-dheere uski taraf dekhne laga.

Kitaab hawa mein udi aur ek pen apne aap chalne laga.

Usne panne par likha—

"Warning di thi... yeh kitaab mat padho."

Kamre ki saari kitaabein shelf se nikal kar Deep par hamla karne lagi.

Deep cheekhte hue behosh ho gaya.

Agli subah Deep apne dost Prithvi se mila, jisne uska mazaak udaaya.

"Ab toh kitaab bhi tujhe padhne nahi de rahi."

Prithvi ne Deep ki baat par yakeen nahi kiya.

Us shaam woh khud us kitaab ko padhne baith gaya.

Aur wahi sab kuch uske saath bhi hua.

Kitaab hawa mein udne lagi.

Panne khud palatne lage.

Bhoot uska peecha karne laga.

Prithvi ghar se bhaaga, lekin kitaab ne use bhi buri tarah ghaayal kar diya.

Kisi tarah woh bachkar bahar nikla.

Ab dono ko yakeen ho chuka tha ki kitaab mein koi rahasya chhupa hai.

Agle din dono us buzurg vyakti ke paas gaye jisse woh kitaab pehle belong karti thi.

Buzurg ne ek daraavna sach bataya.

Kai saal pehle is kitaab ka maalik ek bahut hoshiyar student tha.

Woh har haal mein topper banna chahta tha.

Woh din-raat isi kitaab se padhai karta tha.

Lekin exam mein fail ho gaya.

Niraash hokar usne apni jaan de di.

Uski aatma isi kitaab mein phans gayi.

Lekin woh buri aatma nahi thi.

Marne ke baad use ehsaas hua ki sirf marks aur topper banna hi zindagi nahi hoti.

Ab jab bhi koi student us kitaab ko padhkar apni zindagi barbaad karne ki had tak pressure leta hai, woh aatma use dara kar rokne ki koshish karti hai.

Woh maarna nahi chahti.

Woh bachana chahti hai.

Deep aur Prithvi ko sach samajh aa gaya.

Dono ne milkar us kitaab ko ek purane sandook mein band karke door phek diya.

Us raat Deep ko sapne mein wahi ladka dikhai diya.

Is baar woh muskura raha tha.

Usne kaha—

"Padhai zaroor karo...
lekin apni zindagi se zyada nahi."

Subah uthkar Deep ne pehli baar bina darr ke kitaab kholi.

Aur us din se usne marks ke liye nahi, seekhne ke liye padhna shuru kar diya.
