"Aru!!" She rushed to him hugging him at the airport when he landed in Jammu. He kissed her lips three times.
"Kaisi hai" brushing her hair off
"Good" she got the cab and they went off.
They were in small park, "Hows Delhi? Any new adventures professional wise" She wanted eating chana chat.
"Tu bus khati reh. Its alright. Some tension have started. They are talking about strikes its very vague so i dont know. Whatever it is, its not good."
"Hmm. Even i feel so. Chodo. We should go meet our old ladies soon together" she suggested
"Yes i want to baby but i dont know not until the tensions die down i dont want go"
"Understood. Here its pretty boring, sometimes going to Kashmir and curfews it can be too much. And only three ladies, hum kitne maze kare akele"
"Nobody else" he was playing with her fingers
"Ha haina lot of hot of officers if i wasnt marries to you one of them i would be dating right now. Aur boring bhi nai hota" She teased but Aryan became jealous.
"Right. Dating is not the only option to not get bored. And i remember one night you saying am hot" He sat closer
"Acha. I dont remember" He nuzzled his nose in her neck.
"Shut up you cant talk about other men" he grumbled
"Drama much" she rolled her eyes and she was getting ticklish as he kissing her neck.
"We are in public park "
"Nobody is here. Let me feel you, you got no idea how much i miss you"He looked up serious
"Am always worried" he admitted
"Why? You know am good at what i do. We both fighting for our country. And i know you dont like talking about it but since you mentioned about tensions a thought entered my mind"
"What thought?" He side hugged her
"Me or you , whatever the situation and however we go, the other will not cry but be proud"
"Chal tu to royegi hippo. The earth will shake" he joked
"Chup. Waise bhi tujhe kuch nai ho sakta. I am confident"she said proudly "You are damn good people talk about you at our base. How vulture like you are, remarkable eyes to details, confidence and your toughest missions" She pecked his lips
"Proud of you Aru"
"Thank you mam. And so am i . And I dont want to talk about death" he added
"Fine" pinching his nose.
"Lets go do some fun like old time sakes"
"Jammu mein? Thats going to be hard baby"
"Oh yea i forgot"
Nevertheless they both found indoor bowling and arcade where they enjoyed to fullest. When it came time to leave this time Aryan had little tears.
"Oh god an air forcr officer having tears" she kissed him
"Take care and kuch bhi problem talk to me promise?" He asked worriedly
"Ha baba promsie"he hugged her tightly, kissed her forehead and went in waving and giving her air kisses.
Imlie smiled, and finally a tear slid down her cheeks.
The tension Aryan talked about escalated, there was firing going on the LOC between the two armies.
Imlie was called with other officers "We need air force to help our army . There are casaulties , its dark but i told them my team will rescue each and every army personnel. Imlie, Naik, Inder i trust you three to do this mission. You leave at 23:00 hours"
"Yes sir" they all left and retreated in planning room. They prepared themselves each to their assigned points where army casualties are hiding.
Imlie was determined to get all of them. She was given count of three men. She lowered her plane, with the lights on and landed slowly. She found three men one was less injured while other two half concious. Somehow Lance Kumar and Imlie got them in the plane. She hurriedly took them to base where the medics were waiting. As soon she landed , Inder and informing her that her point had one more casualty. Inder and Naik were back.
"Sir i will head out"
"Be careful" Inder nodded.
Imlie felt embarassed she mistook the counts, small mistake .
She went landed at same region, with light
"Indian Air force" She yelled to inform the casualty she is here for rescue.
"Hheyyy" She heard a voice. It was coming over from boulder.
"Sir found him" The boulder had crushed his legs Imlie didnt know what to do.
She tried pushing but it was too heavy "Sir its a boulder . Its heavy, his legs are crushed"
"Pull him" he ordered
"But sir"
"Do it am sending Kumar as backup"
She heard a gunshot" Sir there was shot. Need back up now"
"I am sorry" telling the man
"Just pull me"
With count of five, Imlie put all strength and pulled the guy out. She quickly gave her support and put him on the seat.
