“deep ji, aba next story ta malai dedicate garnu parcha hai...eetro praise gare pachi!!!”
Dedicated to “apple_juice”
****Bigat le feri ek chooti jiskyayo…******
-------------------------
Pramod lifted his right foot and swung it in sweeping mode to instruct his Paani to keep on moving little furthur out, said “hnuuu..” with friction voice then held up his breath. But paani stopped. It (paani) didn’t quite follow the instructions Pramod was giving. He moved around, looked at his paani, then my “dhak”. He then looked at other friends then at me again. “Kasko chha ta “dheeen”..merai hain’ ta?” Pramod asked. “Garai parla..”, Pointed at my dhak I said “dhen ta uncle ko chha ni”. Paani was Pramod’s marble (guchcha). It was called paani because it was a clear (no figure inside) guchha. We could even see tiny bubbles inside that paani guchcha. Mine was all black. Usually in hwakrang, I used to use that black guchcha as a “dhak” , hence it got it’s name “dhak”. I used call “uncle” to myself. Pramod used to call himself “kaaji”, Bijaya, Narendra, and Vikram were also “raja”, “dai”, and “sp”, respectively. SP is the most powerful position in Police force, It was Vikram’s conclusion somehow. Our weapons were our guchchas.
We were playing angle. Pramod and I were arguing on whose dhen should prevail. Aruharu le bhalekai thiyena. My dhak was pretty close to upper kachhi line. It was quite risky to beat me out. Pramod had tried but was not successful yet. His paani guchcha was parallel to mine. Ek tira bata herda oosko dhen dekhinthyo arko tira bata herda mero. Anyway, Pramod spoke, “la aaija dekhauni”. I agreed.
So, we were just waiting for a suitable judge to pass by…. “Shivdai, kasko dhen chha herdinu na..” Pramod interrupted Shivdai who was walking on singing Om bikram’s “Nabhani deu mero ooth ko laali….” .Obviously, Shiv dai didn’t like the interruption cuz he gave him a “ahile-laatttale-dinchhu-ani” look to Pramod. But since he was already interrupted, he was courteous enough to point my dhak with his right shoe then continued walking with “…chori lagyo bhanera…nasochideu……..”.
“ kasto lagyo ta uncle le bhanya…dekhis ?” I boasted. Pramod didn’t like the verdict but accepted. “raja ta side tira lagchhu” spoke Bijaya and side tira bhalyo usko guchcha. “Aba dai lai hera bach.cha ho” Narendra spoke and dared to beat me out. “ki ta dohrra khanchhu nabhaya talai tapchhu” Narendra said to me. Even though, he was frantically asking his guchcha to stop before kachchi line but his guchha crossed it over anyway. Bhanna uso haina usko guchcha ali ali pyakmara pani thiyo…duita budi aaula ko nang ma rakhera herda. He simply didn’t like “kachchi bhako”. “Chhimmaye…” he abruptly stopped his curse cuz he saw maya didi sticking out her oodne odya tauko thru a window nearby. Vikram le “tuchcha” bhalyo and said “SP ta lokke khan baschha, talai”. His guchha barely crossed the lower kachhi line. He was safe, though.
So, it was me who was the leader. I took a bitta then rested my right hand on little finger then bent middle finger inside. Put my dhak on right middle finger supported by left index finger, right thumb, and right index finger. “bitta chorne haina hai”, Pramod cautioned. Ek chhin takera I hit on Pramod’s paani. “Twaach” garera maryo. I was glad. “Pichcha thukera” pramod picked his paani up. Then I targeted Bijaya’s guchcha. I missed. Unfortunately, my guchcha rested not too far from his. Khai halyo ni Bijaya le lokke. Kya bore. We played for a while. Then, Pramod who was losing said, “ma ta jh** pani kheldina angle”. “Ke khelne ta ?” Narendra asked. “kaji ta aba hwakryang bhe khelchha haina bhane angle ta yatro ni kheldina”.

.........
We went to Bhuteshwor and started to make a hwakryang. We repeated the rules once again. As usual, the rules were the same. Jor chhiya chhune, bijor chhiya futaune, sab chhiya dhoos, dhal bhale dhoos, ani dhap hanne chhaina…dhap liye dhoos. However, one could take dhap after releasing the dhak, though. We all agreed. Started to play. It was not a good day for Pramod, I guess. He lost all his guchchas and money he had on him. Mero chahi khalti ma chham chham guchcha ra chanchune paisa bajdai thiye. That awaz was my victory song.
Bhalnu aghi Vikram cleaned the hwakryang once again. He wanted to have a char chhiya. Valyo but tin chhiya paryo and one guchcha was still moving. “gooorli…gooorli…” Vikram was commanding that guchcha. His hands looked so dirty. Katla ra mailo jamaeko haat herera I said (mine was just a bit better than his), “thukka…hera haat”. “ahile paani aaye pachhi dallo sabun ra bhoos le ghotan dinu parchha….janchha”, he said. Anyway, Pramod “kaji” was not having a good day and was increasingly becoming irritable. He was already taat but continued to play on credit, “lagyo lagyo” bhandai. I was in a winning mode. So, I was teasing everybody. Ali partira two kids were doing baaja-baaj. Didn’t know why? But the one who was losing was saying to the mighty one, “aama lai bhandinchhu”, the mighty one responded, “jaa na ta bhande…tero aama lai…mero bau tero aaama…”. Pramod didn’t like that comment or he may be he was just too irritated- not sure- but he got up and looked at that dominating kid and asked, “talai laat khana man lagyo?” Those kids moved away.
Ekchhin khele pachhi, I wanted to reinforce “kati lagyo” to Pramod. I knew it was Rs.5.00 but still wanted to hear from him. “kati lagyo rey, kaji?”, I asked. He gave me a ghuran and said “sadhe tin”. “ke rey?”, I asked. “Sadhe teen, suninas? Kan chhaina tero?”, he got angry. So, did I. I firmly said, “tero tauko panch lagya chha panch”. I was highly influenced by my winning series and was charged with excitement. Pramod le “eeeeee yaha lagya chha panch….herchhas” bhanyo kattu tira dekhara. I got really mad. I just stared at him. He probably noticed what was coming. So, he ran towards his house. I chased him. He entered the house and as he was climbing up the stairs, I cought his left foot and dragged him down. Then kassera ek shot diye mukhma. Naakma lagechha usko nathri futyo. I saw blood coming out. I got really scared. Now, it was my turn to run. Leaving Pramod there alone, I ran. I ran towards Saraswoti mandir then oralo lagera went to Satte naran mandir. I regretted what I did. I knew, he is gonna complain to his mother and they will complain to my people. “aaja ghar ma mero jaatra hune bho”, I thought.
Khaja saja pani khana paiyena. Ek chhin dhobikhola ma asala machha herera yata uta haaliye. The evening was about to descend on us. I was worried. I had nowhere else to go but home. I slowly walked up to Kotal tole and started to walk home. Deuta than sabai ma “prabho…aaja kehi nahos bhandai aaye” but I was skeptic. Now, it was dark. I avoided Pramode ko ghar ko bato…walked around laamo bato to get home. I met Bijaya on my way. He told me, Pramod and his mom went to my house to complain. “la khattam….je ko dar thiyo tyahi bhe chha…”, I thought. I just spoke few more words with Bijaya then kept on walking. Paisa ra guchcha chham chham bajaudai puge ghar nera. “Diusai complain garya hola…ahile samma ta ali naram bhaisake holan gharma…aghi nai aako bhe ta…barbad hunthyo hola” I was thinking. I put my hands in my pockets to control that chham chham awaz. As I was ready to enter the house, I heard a sharp voice from kitchen, “kasto massu khane bhayera niskeko huh yo deep…jaatra garchhu ma aaja tyasko….gharma ta aaos….khutta bhachi dinchhu ma…”!
