"Be ready by tomorrow noon. I will wait for you here, after that, we will go for our mission", Concluded the gallant Azadi Express.

Anirudh shook decently. With the pace of time, he has grown into an obedient folk, who has acquired martial tricks from his teacher.

As she left, she turned back to him and suggested in a deep voice,
"Think about it again. Are you willing to risk your life just for your wife's school fees?"

He bowed his head. No matter what happens, he will always be ready to sacrifice anything for Bondita. Why won't he? She is his responsibility.
In this one year, they have come very close. From friends, they became best friends.

Fees are just a key to unwrapping the result of Bondita's hard work. Her bright future was now the only goal in his life. But... if something happens to him in between this mission, What would become of Bondita? This question shook his soul. Nonetheless, he remained rigid to his principles.

He will do everything for her better life.

"I'm so sure that I'll meet you before your offered time," he replied hoarsely. Without another word, she whirled to walk.

Wow, Azadi Express thought. He's such a gentleman. I've never seen anyone brave enough to grant their wife's wishes. He is determined to put his life at stake only to fulfill his wife's ambitions.

During the days of practice, she comes to infer about Anirudh. Not so much, but that he is very determined about his wife's future. A partner was willing to give paradise to his partner, even in exchange for his life. As a revolutionary, she was moved by his actions.

As she was leaving, the veil of dupatta brushed Anirudh's cheek due to the wind. Smiling, he put his hand on the spot.

Society expects him to love his mere 12-year-old wife Bondita. He can't grow a flower of love in his heart for the Flower-- he is nurturing with so much tenderness. Because his love will only lead to his Bondita's misery.

But Azadi express-- She is beautiful, she is revolutionary, she is wise, she is strong and most important-- she is of his age. The most prominent factor to Love her.

The only thing his mind has memorize is-- Responsibilities keeps people within limits and love is only to shed barriers.

I love Azadi express and
Bondita is my responsibilty.

"Surkh wala sauz wala faiz waalaa
love

The deep red love, the flaming hot love, enthusiastic love

Sometimes we deny what our heart says. We acknowledge ourselves with false creation, which is just our insanity.
Something like that only happened to Anirudh.

He denied his heart and listened to his mind, which trembled him. He was brave enough to face the world. However, wasn't that brave to face the truth. The truth is that the 11-year-old girl he married to save her life, has become a vital part of his life.

But in a try to save her from the ill effects of child marriage, he acknowledged himself in love with A different girl, approx his age.

Tang Tang!

At a nearby rural school, for village boys, the expulsion bell rang. His unwanted smile suddenly disappeared.
