Prem ko khojakar paayaa jaa sakataa hai kyaa? Kyaa deh aur prem do alag baaten hain? Kyaa sadiyon se chalee aa rahee ekaniṣṭhataa kee paribhaaṣaa mahaj ek mithak hai? Kyaa ek hee saath ek vyakti ka_ii vyaktiyon ke prem men naheen rah sakataa kyaa? Puruṣ aur stree is maayane men kaise aur kis tarah bhinn hain? Kyaa vivaah jaisee snsthaa is soshal miḍaiyaa ke daur men bemaanee ho chukee hai? Upanyaas ‘haman hain ishk mastaanaa’ uparokt sabhee savaalon ko bahut hee chup tareeqae se uṭhaataa hai. Kathaa ke paatron aur paristhitiyon se guzarate hue ye prashn baar-baar paaṭhak ke man men baj sakate hain aur kuchh-ek ghaṭanaa_en unhen vichalit kar sakatee hain. Kathaa men mukhyatah paanch paatr hain– chaar stree aur ek puruṣ. Ek patnee ke alaavaa teenon striyon se puruṣ kaa jo snbndh hai vah prem ke chaar darshan kee tarah hain– prem vivaah kar chukaa ek puruṣ ek samay khaud ko premaviheen paataa hai aur yaahoo maisenjar aur phaesabuk jaisee jagahen use doosaree-teesaree jagahon par bhaṭakaatee hain- maan leejie ki amaresh visvaal kee ghar kee paristhitiyaan anukool hoteen to kyaa vah fir bhee prem men khaanaabadosh ban paataa? Kaajoo de ekaniṣṭh samarpaṇa chaahatee hai aur amaresh ke vivaahit hone kaa tathy spaṣṭ hote hee usase alag ho jaatee hai. Shivaangee usake man ko samajhatee huii use har paristhiti men sveekaar karatee hai– vah ek asaadhaaraṇa stree ke roop men saamane aatee hai. Ye vahee striyaan hain jinake kaaraṇa puruṣ sachamuch kaa puruṣ ban paataa hai– lekin mnjaree prem ke is kashmakash men kaheen ṭooṭ jaatee hai– usakaa ṭooṭanaa amaresh ko is tarah hilaataa hai ki vah pooree duniyaa bhoolakar kisee ṭraans men chale jaane ko shreyaskar maanataa hai– lekin phaesabuk kee prophaa_il ḍaileeṭ kar dene bhar se kyaa yah jaddojahad khatm ho jaatee hai? Ek lekhak-kalaakaar kee bhaṭakan kyaa samaapt ho jaatee hai? Shaayad naheen. Amaresh antatah kaheen hee to lauṭ naheen paataa. Yah kyon hai– kyaa javaab hai isakaa?
