Azadi --- Do Fitoori Krantikariyon ki Kahani

Preparations for the Mission

The next day,

Azadi Express is practicing a dangerous stunt with two daggers. When she throws one dagger in the air, she tries to catch it but fails. She notices that the dagger is about to fall down on her face and fears. But before it can harm Azadi Express, a hand catches the dagger by it's sharp end. The hand holds the dagger tightly and eventually starts bleeding.

Azadi Express looks forward to find that the hand is of none other's but Anirudh's. By then, his hand has started to bleed badly. She holds her hand and cries,

Azadi Express:- Yeh kya kiya tumne? Kyun kiya? Kitna khoon beh raha hai!

Anirudh:- Koi baat nahi. Thik ho jayega.

Azadi Express:- Arey aise kaise thik ho jayega? Dikh nahi raha kya tumhe? Dekho, kitna khoon beh raha hai! Kitna gehra ghaav laga hai! Kya zarurat thi chaku pakadne ki? 

Anirudh:- Agar main sahi waqt pe aakar nahi pakadta toh yeh chaku seedha tumpe girta. Phir tumhe chot lag jaati.

Azadi Express:- Accha, matlab mujhe chot lag jaati toh uski fikar hai tumhe, lekin yeh jo dard ho raha hai uska kya?

Anirudh:- Chot mujhe lagi hai, aur dard tumko ho raha hai?

Silence follows.

Azadi Express:- (denying) Nahi, matlab, tumko bhi toh ho hi raha hoga na dard...

Anirudh:- (trying to be flirty) Mujhko 'bhi' matlab? Matlab tumhe 'bhi' ho raha hai kya dard?

Azadi Express:- (avoids) Tum bhi na! Baaton mein laga dete ho mujhe. Dekho, abhi mere paas koi dawa toh nahi hai, lekin khoon bohot beh raha hai. Isliye main filhaal yeh kapra (bringing her handkerchief) baandh deti hoon tumhare chot par, abhi isse khoon ka bahaav kam ho jayega. Tum ghar jaakar dawa laga lena. Thik hai?

Anirudh smiles:- Thik hai.

She ties the handkerchief on his wound and then they practice many stunts together for the mission.

Then Azadi Express hands a knife to Anirudh, and stands at a distance from him. She says, "Anirudh, chaku ko ulta pakdo, nokhili baju se". She places an apple on her head and says, --

Azadi Express:- Anirudh, tum wahan se nishaana saadho, phir chaku fenkkar mere sarr ke upar iss seb ko do hisso mein vibhaajit karo.

Anirudh:- Yeh seb kahin aur rakh do na! Pehli baar nishaana laga raha hoon, agar thodi si bhi chuk ho gayi toh tumhe chot lag jayegi.

Azadi Express:- Anirudh, daro mat, nishaana saadho.

Anirudh:- Aise par agar tumhe chot lag gayi toh? Main apne aapko kabhi maaf nahi kar paaunga. Tumhare liye main aise sau chot khaane ko tayyar hoon, lekin meri wajah se tumhe kuch ho gaya toh woh main kabhi bardaasht nahi kar paaunga.

Azadi Express:- Anirudh tum kyun aisa soch rahe ho? Tumhe aisa isliye lag raha hai na kyunki tum yeh pehli baar kar rahe ho? Tum apne darr ko mann se bahar nikaalo Anirudh, --- apne-aap-par bharosa rakho. Meri aankhon mein dekho, aur nidarr hokar nishaana saadho. Bhool jao ki tum yeh pehli baar kar rahe ho. Dekh lena, atmavishwas rakhoge toh kabhi niraash nahi hoge.

Anirudh takes a deep breath, gathers confidence, looks into her eyes and aims concentratedly at the apple. He throws the knife, and successfully divides the apple into two parts without harming Azadi Express. He grows ecstatic. Azadi Express claps in joy.

Anirudh:- Thank you Azadi Express, meri madad karne ke liye, aur mujhpe itna bharosa dikhane ke liye.

They practice more.

At night, Anirudh goes home.

At his home, Kaka sees him coming with his wounded hand.

Kaka:- Anirudh beta, yeh chot...yeh chot kaise lag gayi tujhe? Kya hua beta? Tu thik toh hai na?

Anirudh:- (lies) Woh Kaka, yeh chot kachahari mein kaam karte samay lag gayi.

Kaka:- (scolds him) Off ho! Kaam karte samay dhyaan kahan rehta hai tera? Dekh, kitni gehri chot lagi hai! Khoon bhi toh bohot beh raha hoga na?

Anirudh:- Beh raha tha Kaka. Phir usne acche se patti kardi toh khoon behna ruk gaya. Abhi, jaisa usne kaha tha, main apne kamre mein jaake dawa laga leta hoon.

Kaka:- 'Usne'? 'Usne' kisne?

Anirudh:-  (lies) Woh mera sahakarmi hai na Somesh, usne.

Kaka:- Accha. Haan jaa jaa, aur jaldi se dawa lagwa le beta.

Anirudh:- Ji.
