Roses Can't Heal My Everlasting Wounds

|"Bole Kaise Ve Na Ja..."|

In the Evening-

It was nearly 8:30 pm. The trainers had wrapped up thier work for the evening by 8 pm. None had any further work in their Rooms/Quarters, hence they enjoyed cups of Coffee and Tea, while Nikhil and Baby played around, with other Cant. Kids.

Param was kinda wondering why Monami and Barkha hadn't returned from the Operation Site yet, but concluded his thoughts thinking that they might be stuck in Traffic Jam.

The Trainers chit chatted, and enjoyed the relieving winds with the fellows, unknown to the News it bore, what pain it held. The bearer of News arrived , Tiwari Ji!

*Dhoom Tanannananana*

Tiwari Ji (All Panting and Worried) - "Sid Sir"
Sid shot a look at Tiwari Ji and Tiwari Gulped hard and said - "Uh..huh.... Siddharth Sir, Param Sir"

Karan could sense something wasn't right. He said - "Tiwari Sahb. Kya hogaya?"
Tiwari Ji - "Sir wo..."
Before Tiwari Ji could reply the Wireless tugged in the belt rim on his back called up "zz...z.z...Hello...hello....GD 8821......I repeat....GD88.....GD21.....Rajesh Tiwari.....hello....z.z.z.s.m...."

The Sound of Wind Gushing the Tents was audible and The Rain soothed the ground, and penetrated it. The Thirsty Land of Maharashtra let the Rain water reduce the Thirst to Ashes, and let the Water Penetrate deep into itself soothing them. But what soothes mother Nature, may be a reason of Worry for Humans, no doubt humans do play the role in establishing this very problem for themselves itself. The Horrible Thunderstorm had taken place, causing Landslides, one after another. The first Landslide, was as if a Buffer. That's when Rescue teams did arrive. But who knew, what lied in the Laps of Mother Nature, consecutive Landslides occured, which didn't give good conclusions. The connection on the wireless was heavily disrupted, due to the Thunderstorm.

Rajesh Ji (in the Wireless) - "...hello..hello....Rescue Operation Team......hello...this is GD8821....i repeat this is GD8821....any reports? Transmitting? Hello...."

Other Side - "Hello...hello...zz..z.z...GD8821...GD8821.....Body not found....I repeat body not found.....Over"

All the trainers stood up in shock listening to that
They looked at Tiwari Ji shocked

Karan took the Wireless and Transmitted again - "Hello....Alpha....this is Deputy Command 21...GD8821.....What do you mean by body not found? Over"

Other Side - "Z..z.zz.....hello...hello....GD8821....DC 21 Sir......Sir....ADC 88 and ADC21 are martyred.....Hello....Sir I repeat ADC88 and ADC 21 are martyred Over"

Param stood glued to the spot, devoid of Any emotions. Sid felt like his world had collapsed. Karan felt as if the Earth below his Feet wasn't there.

Baby and Nikhil too had come there and heard this Transmission. Baby and Nikhil stayed glued to the spot for some time.

Tiwari Ji (On Wireless) - "zz....Hello...Rescue Operation Team.....Hello...This is GD8821....I repeat this is GD8821 Transmitting....ADC's body not found? Over"

Other Side - "Not found Sir....They are martyred....Over"

Tiwari Ji - "Copy That. Other Teams from Deolali Cantonment? Over"

Other Side - "Teams have departed. I repeat Teams have departed over"

Tiwari Ji - "Copy that. Over"

Other Side - "Out"
Tiwari Ji - "Out" and with that the connection disrupted.

Even before somebody could process something, they heard a sound, "Thud!"

Param shouted - "Baby!!"
Nikhil, who was standing beside Baby had taken Baby's Head in his lap and was patting her Cheek "Ae Dayan! Uth, arre kitne ADC hai duniya me. Transmission me galti huyi hogi. Sirf Barkhu Zia aur Doctor Di hi thodi na hai. Ei Someshwar ki Ghaati Uth!"

Param carried Baby in his arms, Karan running behind him; the Powerful winds hitting their faces, revealing what pain and news it carried with it. SidSa, KoeZi, Nikhil and Chila sprinted behind them. Mr. And Mrs. Batra, too, had rushed to the hospital listening to the demise of their Bhaanji and the situation of their Granddaughter

Param and Karan rushed Param into the MI Room and luckily enough, the Rescue Teams arrived just on time. The Nursing Assistant rushed behind the Majors to check on to Baby. Nikhil rushed to The Shergill Couple's room and brought back the medicines Baby was given.
The Nursing Assistant nursed baby, and when she was safe to take back home, Param took her back to their Quarter. Karan wished to come behind them, but Param stopped him saying that Karan should rather carry out with his duties, and Param was there to look after Baby.

Nikhil cried in the Embrace of his mother, for his Sister. Baby though was like a Cousin to Nikhil, but Baby was Nikhil's first friend (Not Parents humare friends hote hai type), a sister, a person he could tease and the one who knew every secret of Nikhil, even which girl he flirted with!

Faizi, Karan and Sanju had too look after the troops which just arrived, so they left for the work. But their minds revolved around a few people, Param, Sid and Baby. Sid cried his heart out, when Monami was shot. And now, he was devoid of any emotion! Param lost his wife today, and the fact that he wasn't even able to Apologise to Barkha hurt even more

Bala asked Chitra to look after the troops for tonight, as Sid wasn't in a condition to. When Chitra had asked for, that why so, Bala repied - "Chitra pichle 4 saal me bohot kuch badla hai. Tu ab iss G Company ka hissa hai, tujhe har baat bataunga. Lekin aaj nahi. Ja"

Chitra nodded and went away, with tears in her eyes.

One Stormy night, And the fate of Many changed. Some were left heartbroken, some were left all alone, with no one around.
