PERFECTLY IMPERFECT [ON HOLD]

PROLOGUE

"If everything is imperfect in this imperfect world, love is most perfect in its perfect imperfection 💖 "

(In this story, Monami doesn't get kidnapped or shot after the picnic fiasco. Instead after Karan orders everyone to go back to academy, everyone goes to their tents and comes back to academy the next day but Monami avoids Karan whereas Karan too hasn't apologized to Monami nor he has tried to. The ignoring game between SidSa is still going on. On the other hand, mehendi ceremony of SoRaj and Ishqi - Mayank is going to happen, the rest remains same.)

Parakram SAF (1 week after the picnic fiasco)

It was a pleasant day. Birds were chirping under the clear, blue sky and butterflies were fluttering around the freshly-bloomed flowers. It was as if God was deliberately trying to hide the storm that was going to change the life of 6 people and those around them. For good or bad, who knows !?

Here, all the trainers are supervising the drills of the namu- I mean recruits when Ustadji comes and tells all the special agents to come in Colonel Batra's office immediately. Their heart skips a beat. Was this for some mission ?? If yes, then they were ready to serve their motherland. Oh, only if they knew what they had to do 😉 . They left the drill under Ustadji's supervision . 

Colonel Batra's Cabin (Karan's POV)

We enter to find Colonel Batra sitting tensed in his chair. Me, Sanju and Faizi salutes him.

"We have a mission, agents, but there are some problems. First, we can't go there directly. Actually, we have to protect someone. We have got information that Dark, the head of Tufaan terrorist organization, is targeting a particular family. All three of you don't need to go. Only Karan and Sanjana will go and Faizi, you will remain here for technical help and monitor them.", he told us hesitantly.

I know why he is hesitant, he knows my hatred of rich people, so I can guess that this family who we have to protect is just like those who indirectly killed Param Bhaiya – rich, privileged people.

"And I assume it is a particularly rich family we have to protect !?", I ask stiffly.

Colonel Batra sighed and said, "Yes Shergill, but it is our duty to protect every civilian, whether they are rich or poor."

I already knew it and that's the reason I won't refuse. I won't refuse because it's my duty and nothing is more important to me than my duty.

"Plus, not all rich people are same, some are genuinely good people too.", he continued.

An image of Monami, without caring for herself, saving Gauri and other girls flashed in my mind, followed by a stabbed Siddharth pleading to save his best friend's life instead of his but I quickly shook all those images. It was not the time to think about if they are also just like other rich, spoilt brats or not.

"So, do you accept this mission", Colonel Batra asks after a minute of silence.

"Yes sir, I accept", I said emotionlessly and I can see a smile making its way on his face before he turned to look at Sanju and Faizi.

"Yes sir, I accept too", they both said in unison.

He smiled at us and said, "Wonderful !! Now, there is only one slight problem. Since we have to go there under cover, it will be better if we take along someone whom they already trust."

"But sirji, where will we find such people and even if we somehow manage to contact some of their friends and relatives, how can WE trust them ?? If this is an undercover mission, we can't tell anyone about it.", Sanju asked confused.

"Yes sir, it can be dangerous if the person told anyone about the mission.", said Faizi being as confused I currently am. I am usually good at reading people but Colonel Batra is often hard to read even for me.
