coat and rushes out.
Astaf tries to run after him but it was already too late.
All three of them are amazed and stunned with what just
happened.
Andre
Yakeen nahi ho raha ki ye kya hua, usne itni aasani se
hum sabko bewkuf bana diya?
 Astaf
Ji, Humdono ko he. Usne bhale he apka coat churaya ho par
Gussa mujhe bhi bahot aa raha hai. Bhai sahab mera manna hai
ki Ye Chor toh Keede Makodo se bhi battar hote hein.
Kyuki keede Makode toh phir bhi Khali padi cheezo ko apna
shikar banate hein magar ye, Yeh log toh Insaan ki khoon
passeene ki kamayi ko he Nishana bana dalte hein.
Andre
Theek kaha tumne,isse toh behtar hota agar who coat jal
gya hota. Ye toh sarasar Insaniyat k saath Beyimani hai ek
tarah se.
Astafy
Hmm..JI bilkul Beyimani hai....Par sach kahu bhai sahab…
In Duniya bhar k Beyimaan choro mei se ek tha, jise mai janta
tha... Jo Imaandar tha.
Andre
Imaandar aur Chor? Ye kaise ho sakta hai?
Astaafy
Mujhe apna sab kuch khoye lagbgag 3 saal ho chuke hein,
2 saal pehle ek Public House mei meri Mulakat Ivaan se
hui,Dheere Dheere dosti bhi hui. Ivaan ko Daaru ki bahot badi
latt thi, uske haath mei jitney bhi paise aate wo pi jata,
Shayad kisi samay wo kuch kaam karta hoga par ab wo puri tarah
sharab mei duba tha, sadko pe pura din bheek maang kar Guzara
kar raha tha magar swabhav ka achha tha, baki sharabiyo ki
tarah ladayi jhagda nahi karta tha, bilkul shaant..
Swabhimaani tha..Kabhi khudse sharab nahi maangta..Magar use
dekhke aap samajh sakte the ki use sharab ki zarurat
hai..Islye mai de diya karta..aur iss tarah humari Dosti hui,
Dosti toh kya he hui, yun samajh lijiye ki woh ab mere peeche
he padd gya, mai jahan jahan jaata wo ek Paaltu kutte ki tarah
peeche peeche aajata.
Shuraat toh hui thi uske ye puchne se ki wo ek kya wo ek raat
Guzaar sakta hai?
Magar uske baad who phir saath he rehne laga.

Ivaan
Ek bahot Nek Government clerk tha, EMelynoushka, ussike
yahan, Hum saath mei he piya karte the magar wo Peete peete
apni kabra tak pahoch gya..
Astaafy
…..( Both burst out laughing)
Astaafy is wondering what will he do of Ivaan, He is feeling
sorry for this pitiful God forshaken creature. Ivaan is
sitting there and looking at Asatafy like a dog.
Astafy
Ivan dekho, mai khud aisi haalat mei nahi hu ki apna pet
paal saku….. tumhe jaldi he apna liye koi nayi jagah dhundni
padegi. Kyuki kuch he dino mei mere pass apne khane k liye bhi
kuch nahi hoga tumhe kaha se khila paunga?..

Ivaan understood what Astafy was trying to say,He stood up,

took his bundle ( red colour cloth full of holes), wore his
shabby old coat.. with tears in his eyes he opened the door
and left.

Astafy (VO)
CONTD
Sharab pee pee kar usne apni zubaan tak lagbhag kho di
thi.. na kisi baat pe dhyaan dekar soch sakta tha aur na he
bol sakta tha...Maine socha ki isse kisi tarah ka kaam
seekhana sahi rahega
Astafy
Ivaan ab bahot hogya ye sharab k nashi mei apni bachi hui
zindagi guzaarna, zara haalat dekho apni.. ye coat ab raddi
mei bhi bechne layak nahi bacha hai.
Ivaan
Jaante ho, aaj maine do aurato ko aapas mei ladte dekha..
ek ne dusre k kuch fal galti se giraa diye the..
Astafy
Toh?
Ivaan
Toh dusre ne bhi pehle k falo ko niche gira k pairo se
kuchal diya..
Astafy
Par mujhe ye sab kyu bata rahe ho?
Ivaan
Kuch nahi, bass aise he...Aur ek baat.. raaste mei ek
aadmi ki jeb se ek note girr gya, yahin 4 bunglow road
pe..nahi 7 bunglow road shayad..ek majdoor ko dikha toh usne
kaha – waah ye meri kismet..par ussi samay ek aur aadmi ko wo
note dikha toh who bhi chillane laga ki ye uski kismet
hai..dono issi baat pe jhagadne lage..phir policewala aaya
usne umdono ko pita aur note uske maalik ko dediya
Ivaan laughs painfully
Astafy
Achha,lekin insab baato ka mujhse kya lena dena?
Ivaan
Bass hassne k liye kahi tumse, logo ko hassna bhi chahiye
Astafy
Log kya krte hein kya nahi karte chorhh Ivaan, mai puch
raha hun ki aakhir tu kyaa karega? Tu samajh raha hai kya keh
raha hun?
 AStafy(contd)
Kuch kaam dhundh aur karr ,rehem kar ab khud par..Agar
aaj k baad tu Daaru pk ghar aaya toh tujhe seedhiyo pe
sulaunga.

Iss dhamki k baad Ivaan agle do din tak ghar pe ruka lekin
teesre din phir wo chupke se nikal gya, saara din bahar raha.
Mujhe uski chinta hone lagi jab raat tak bhi wo wapis nahi
aaya.. maine socha kahin maine use dara k bhaga oh nahi diya?
Mai darwaze tak wapis gya usse dekhne toh dekhta hun ki wo
seedhiyo pe soya pada hai..thand mei thithura hua...
Astafy (contd)
Dimag kharab ho gya hai kya tera?
Ivaan
Tumne he kaha tha ki mujhe seedhiyo pe sulaoge, islye
maine socha andr aana theek nahi rahega..

Astafy
Andar chalo.
Uss din k baad mai samajh gya ki ye chaah kar bhi peene ki lat
nahi chuda sakta. Maine isse apne ek saathi k yaha silayi k
kaam pe laga diya.
Ek din mujhe apne malik ki beti ki shaadi mei jaana tha
