gyarahakeenot kampani ko chhodana mere lie takalifadeh tha kyonki main vahan par senet aur doosare sabhi logon ka priy vyakti ban chuka tha. mainne kisi se bhi vida ke do shabd nahin kahe; main kah hi nahin saka. ye sab shushk, aasan tarike se ho gaya. mainne shanivar kee rat ko apani film ka sanpadan poora kiya aur agale somavar mistar endarasan ke sath sain fransisko ke lie ravana ho gaya jahan par hamen unakee hare rang kee nayi marsadiz kar ke darshan hue. ham sent fransis hotal men sirf lanch ke lie hi ruke usake bad men nails chale gae. vahan par endarasan ka apana ek chhota sa stoodiyo tha aur usamen unhonne esene kampani ke lie branko bili vestarns banayi thi (esene spooar aur endarasan ke pahale aksharon ko milakar banaya gaya nam tha).
nails sain fransisko se bahar kee or ek ghante kee draiv kee doori par tha aur rel kee patariyon ke pas basa huaa tha. ek chhota sa shahar tha aur vahan kee aabadi char sau kee thi aur vahan ka kam dhandha lasun ghas tatha pashupalan tha. stoodiyo lagabhag char mil bahar kee or ek khet ke bichon-bich bana huaa tha. jab mainne ise dekha to mera dil doobane laga kyonki isase kam preranadayak kuchh aur ho hi nahin sakata tha. isakee kanch kee chhat thi, jahan par garmiyon men kam karana behad mushkil ho jata tha. endarasan ke kaha ki ve mere lie meri pasand ka aur komedi banane ke lie behatar tarike se susajjit stoodiyo shikago ke aasapas dhoondhenge. main nails men sirf ek hi ghanta raha aur endarasan apane staf ke sath kuchh kamakaz nipatate rahe. tab ham donon fir se sain fransisko ke lie chal pade. vahan se hamane shikago ke lie yatra shuroo kee.
mujhe endarasan achchhe lage the. unamen ek khas tarah ka aakarshan tha. rel yatra men unhonne meri ek bhaee kee tarah dekh bhal kee aur alag-alag steshanon par kaindi aur patrikaen le aate. ve lagabhag 40 baras ke sharmile aur chuppe vyakti the aur jab karobar kee charcha kee jati ve bade itminan ke sath kah dete,"isake bare men chinta mat karo. sab thik ho jaega." ve bahut kam bat karate the aur hamesha khyalon se ghire rahate. isake bavajood mainne mahasoos kiya ki ve bhitar hi bhitar kaiyan the.
yatra rochak thi. tren men tin vyakti the jinhen hamanen pahali bar daining kar men dekha. unamen se do to sanpann lag rahe the, lekin tisara betaratib-sa lagane vala sadharan sa aadami tha. un tinon ko ek sath khana khate dekh hamen hairani huee. hamane andaza lagaya ki do vyakti to injiniyar ho sakate hain aur tisara sadak chhap aadami chhote-mote kam karane ke lie mazadoor raha hoga. jab ham daining kar se chale to unamen se ek hamare koope men aaya, apana parichay diya. usane bataya ki vah sent luees ka sherif hai aur usane branko bili ko pahachan liya hai. ve fansi die jane ke lie ek kaidi ko sain kvintan jel se vapis sent lois lie ja rahe hain aur choonki ve kaidi ko akela nahin chhod sakate hain, kya ham unake koope men aakar zila etorni se milana pasand karenge?
sherif ne vishvas ke sath kaha,"hamane socha ki aapako paristhitiyon ke bare men janana achchha lagega. ye jo kaidi hai, isaka achchha-khasa aaparadhik rikard hai. jab adhikari ne ise sent lois men giraftar kiya to is bande ne kaha ki use apane kamare men jakar apane trank men se kuchh kapade-latte lane kee ijazat di jae aur jis vakt vah apane trank men saman talash raha tha, to achanak hi vah apani bandook ke sath ghooma aur afasar ko goli mar di aur tab bhag kar kailiforniya chala gaya. vahan par use sendhamari karate hue pakada gaya aur tin baras kee saza di gayi aur jab vah bahar nikala to jila etorni aur main usaka intazar kar rahe the. yah ekadam sidha sada hat�ya ka mamala hai - ham use fansi denge." usane josh ke sath kaha.
endarasan aur main unake koope men gae. sherif hansod mota-sa aadami tha, jisake chehare par sadabahar muskurahat aur aankhon men chamak basi huee thi. jila etorni kuchh jyada-hi ganbhir aadami tha.
apane mitr se hamara parichay karane ke bad sherif ne kaha,"baith jaie." tab vah kaidi kee taraf muda,"aur ye haink hai." kaha usane, "ham ise sent lois vapas le ja rahe hain, jahan par vah fande men fansega."
haink vidroopata se hansa lekin kuchh kaha nahin. vah lagabhag 45-46 baras ka chh: futa aadami tha. usane yah kahate hue endarasan se hath milaya, "branko bili, mainne aapako kaee bar dekha hai aur he bhagavan! aap kaise unhen bandooken thamate hain aur unhen dharashayi kar dete hain, mainne aaj tak nahin dekha." haink mere bare men bahut kam janata tha. usane bataya: vah tin baras tak sain kvintan men raha tha, "aur bahari duniya men aisa bahut kuchh chalata rahata hai, jisake bare men aapako pata hi nahin chalata."
halanki ham sab bahut sahajata se bat kar rahe the lekin ek bhitari tanav tha, jisase ubar pana mushkil lag raha tha. main sakate men tha ki kya kahoon isalie main sherif ke jumale par khinse niporane laga.
"ye ek bahut mushkil duniya hai." branko bili ne kaha.
"han, so to hai." sherif ne kaha,"ham ise kam mushkil banana chahate hain. haink is bat ko janata hai."
"beshak!" haink ne upahas karate hue kaha.
sherif ne upadesh dena shuroo kar diya,"yahi bat mainne haink se kahi thi jab vah sain kvintan se bahar aaya tha. mainne usase kaha ki agar vah hamare sath jyada sayanapan dikhaega to ham bhi usake sath vaise hi pesh aaenge. ham hathakadiyon ka istemal karana ya tam jham failana nahin chahate; hamane usake pair men sirf bedi dal rakhi hain."
"bedi! vo kya hoti hai?" mainne poochha.
"aapane kabhi bedi nahin dekhi hai?" sherif ne poochha
