समर आनी निव्या हीं जुंवळीं. तीं आपल्या स्कूल बसीची वाट पळयतालीं .

“फाटल्यान पळय नाका हां, तो आमकांमांडून पळयता!” म्हण समरान निव्याच्या कानांत फुसफुसलें.

राक्षस मिठायी वालो रस्त्याच्या पलतडीन,आपल्या दुकानांतल्यान भुरग्यांक पळयतालो.

तो खूब व्हडलो आनी भयानक!

“ताचें तोंड बुलडॉगा सारके!” समरान क्रुरतायेन म्हणलें.

“ताचें नाक सामोसा कशें निव्यानम्हणलें. आनी ताचीं बॉटां दिसतात केस आशिल्ल्या भेंड्या सारकी!”

राक्षस मिठायीवालो भयानक दिसतालो खरो,पूण ताच्या दुकानार सगळ्यांत बरी मिठायी, खेळणी, आनी हेर सामान आसताले- मिठायी आनीखेळण्यांचें दुकान.

थंय रंगीत मिठायी आनी चॉकलेटींची रासआसताली.

हीं हेर भुरगीं दुकानार वतनापळयतालीं, पूण हांका दोगांकूय एक साधी मिठायी वा खेळणें हाडपाक सुध्दा सामकी भिरांतदिसताली.

एकदा तर ताणीं नव्यो चॉकलेटीं राशिनींहाडिल्ल्यो पळयल्ल्यो.

तीं धाडशी जावन भितर गेली.

“आ… आमकां ती एक चॉकलेट मेळटली?” समरान भिवून भिवून विचारलें.

राक्षस मिठायीवालो ताच्या मेजारझुकलो, आनी आपले ते हारा इतले लांब हात तांचे मेरेन पावयले.

“तुमचें दांत पडटलें!” . अशें म्हण तो फुतफुतलो.

ताणें आपल्या मेजाच्या खणांतल्यानफटीचें दांत भायर काडले. ताणें ते अचकीत भुरग्यांच्या मुखार हाडलें. समर आनी निव्यानएका मेकांक एक नदरेन पळयलें, आनी दोगांय थंयच्यान पळपाक लागलीं.

“तो आमकां त्या दांतांनी खावपाचोच आसलो,” निव्या कडकडत म्हणलें. एकदांचीं तीं आतां घरा पाविल्लीं. ताचे उपरांतताणीं थंय वचपाची केन्नांच धाडस करूंक ना.

पूण आयज, समर आनी निव्यान कितें तरीआनीक भिरांतेचें पळयल्लें. राक्षस मिठायी वालो एका वळवळटल्या पेट्याक ताच्या तोंडालागीं धरून आसलो.

उपरांत तो ताका भितर घेवन गेलो आनीनाच्च जालो.

“आरेरे सायबा! तो आतां त्या पेट्यांक शिजोवन खातलो दिसता!” निव्यानकिळांच मारली.

समर आनी निव्याकआतां खात्री जाल्ली की तांचो सुणो लोलो आनी ताचे 6 नवे पेटे सुरक्षीत नासले.

“आमी राक्षस मिठायी वाल्याक तुमकांशिजोवपाक दिवची ना”. निव्यान म्हणलें.

पूण दुसरे दीस जेन्ना माँ बाजारानवचपाक भायर सरिल्ली तेन्ना ती गेट उकतेंच दवरून गेली.

समर आनी निव्यान एकामेकांक भिरांतेनपळयलें, कारण सगळें सय पेटे नीट धावत राक्षस मिठायी वाल्याच्या दुकानार गेल्ले.

“तोआतां तांकाय खातलो!.” समरान रडतम्हणलें. “आमकां तांका सोडोवपाक जाय!”.

समर आनी निव्या दोगांय एकामेकांचे हाताकधरून त्या दुकानाच्या काळ्या भुंयेरांत भितर सरलीं. कोण ना हांगा! फाटलें एक दार अर्दें उक्तें आसलें.थरथरत ताणीं तें धुकल्लें.

समर आनी निव्या दोगांय एकामेकांचे हाताकधरून त्या दुकानाच्या काळ्या भुंयेरांत भितर सरलीं.   कोण ना हांगा!

फाटलें एक दार अर्दें उक्तें आसलें.थरथरत ताणीं तें धुकल्लें.

राक्षस मिठायी वाल्यान भुरग्यांचेर नदरमारली, आनी उजवाड घालो.

“पळय” , तोगडगडलो, “तीं भिनात!”
