BOOTS & BANGLES: वर्दी वाली आग

(A Hinglish Military Drama)

---

Hawa us raat ajeeb si thi—thodi tez, thodi thandi, jaise kisi bade tufaan se pehle ki warning.

Army base ke helipad par searchlights ki safed roshni ek jagah tik nahi rahi thi... bilkul us soldier ki tarah, jiska mission abhi-abhi khatam hua tha—lekin kahani ab shuru hone wali thi.

Stretcher par padi Captain Aadhya Rathore ki olive-green combat uniform khoon se bhig chuki thi. Uske sir par bandage laga tha, haath hile bhi nahi, aur aankhon me se ek patli si boond girti jaa rahi thi. Darr ki nahi. Dard ki bhi nahi.

Jeet ki.

Medics daud rahe the—

"Move! Move! Head injury hai. Pulse unstable hai!"

"Yeh kaun hai, sir?"

"Koi aam officer nahi... she's the one who saved the entire unit tonight."

Jab unhone stretcher ko emergency room ki taraf dhakela, toh ek lamha aisa tha...

Jisme waqt ruk gaya.

Aadhya ki palkein aadhi band, aadhi khuli.

Jeevan aur maut ke beech ka woh patla sa border tooti saans ki tarah hil raha tha.

Kaanon me distant gunshots ki echoes goonj rahi thi—mission ki yaadein abhi bhi uske dimaag me chal rahi thi.

Aur phir ek awaaz...

Soft. Calm. Jaise kisi ne tufaan me se haath badhaya ho.

"Captain Aadhya? Can you hear me?"

Dr. Karan Mehta uske upar jhuk kar, headlamp ki roshni adjust karta hua.

Aadhya ne palkein uthayi.

Blurry vision me bas ek chehra dikha—saaf, shaant, bilkul uski uljhi hui duniya ke opposite.

"Safe ho..." Karan ki awaaz sirf uske liye thi. "I promise."

Usne kuch kehne ki koshish ki, par awaaz nikli nahi.

Par phir, uski ankhon me woh dard, woh gussa, woh thakan... sab ek saath bhar aaya.

Karan ne stethoscope uthaya. "You're bleeding internally. We need to operate now."

Usne uska naam fir se pukara, dheere se, care ke saath.

"Aadhya, stay with me. You're a fighter... you always were."

Hosh aur behoshi ki us hadh par, Aadhya ne sirf ek cheez dekhi—

Tiranga.

Operation theatre ke darwaze ke upar laga hua.

Flag ke rang uski dhundhli nazar me bhi chamak rahe the.

Aankhon ke kone se phir ek boond nikli.

Is baar—zinda rehne ki koshish me.

Darwaza band hua.

Light red ho gayi.

Operation start ho gaya.

Aur bahar, news vans ke cameras flash hone lage—

"An unknown female officer saves 27 soldiers in a midnight operation."

"Who is Captain Aadhya Rathore?"

Lekin duniya ko abhi kya pata...

Ki is young commando ne sirf dushmano ko nahi—

apne kismat, pyaar, dard, aur society se bhi jang ladi hai.

Woh sirf ek soldier nahi.

Woh sirf ek victim nahi.

Woh sirf ek aurat nahi.

Woh ek kahani hai...

Jisko duniya ab sunne wali hai.

---

Aaj, operation theatre ke andar ek zindagi ladh rahi thi.

Aur bahar—ek kahani paida ho rahi thi:

BOOTS & BANGLES: वर्दी वाली आग

—Aadhya Rathore ki woh kahani,

jahan pyaar bhi hai... dard bhi... aur ek soldier ka junoon bhi.
