BROTHERS IN ARMS (ON HOLD)

6• Punishment

After saying this karan looked at the batch and said 'So cadets today on your very first day of this academy. Two of your batchmates were late. These two are the cadets who were late. And they gave me a chance to show what happens to all those cadets who take my training rules lightly and don't follow them. Today they will set an example to you all to never ever get late in your life. ' he roared in his deadly tone.

Kunj and siddharth completed their count and said '2700 pushups done sir '

Karan - 'Up both of you '

They both stood up in attention position.

Karan - 'What did I say while dishing out your punishment cadets? '

Duo- 'To do 2700 pushups... Before... The batch returns... From their morning run sir.... ' they both stuttered.

Karan - 'And did you follow my orders correctly? '

Duo - 'No sir ' they both said Apologitaly while looking down.

Karan - 'Siddharth go and get two 10 kgs backpacks and four 5kgs wrist weight from there' he said while pointing at a place located at the far end of the ground.

Siddharth left to get the weights from the far end of the ground.
Soon he came back running to the ground with the weights in his hands.
While karan turned towards the other instructor and ordered him to start the day 's training.

Siddharth came back with the weights and karan ordered both of them to tie the wrist weights on each of their wrists and carry the bag on their shoulders.

They both did as ordered and karan ordered them '15 rounds of this ground and if any of you stops in between both of you will have to start from the beginning , is that clear both if you? '

Duo - 'Yes sir ' and they both started running around the ground. And mind you the ground was not at all small, it was huge.

Karan stood there with his armed folded over his chest while looking at his brothers.
Karan - 'kaha tha maine inn dono se ki agar nhi hota toh rehne do academy join kerna but inn dono ki hi zidd thi. Ab karo regret kyunki mai tum dono ko aaj aise hi nhi chodunga . ' he thought.

While running -
Kunj - 'Bhai.... Yaar... Mujhse... Nhi ho... Rha yeh..ab' he said to siddharth while running and panting.

Siddharth- 'Ho... Toh... Mujhse... Bhi..
Nhi rah.... But ... Chote.... Kerna toh padega na.... ' he encouraged him while he was still panting like a thirsty dog.

They both silently somehow completed the run and dropped right in front of karan panting heavily.

Karan - 'Stand up cadets ' he shouted.

And both somehow supported each other to stand up.

Karan - 'Bohot pyaar hai na ek dusre ke liye? Toh fir chalo ek mauka deta hu ek dusre ki taraf pyaar dikhane ka. Kunj go and bring the rattan cane from my office ' he ordered.

Kunj gulped but followed the order. He went to his office and came back with the rattan cane. By then the ground was totally clear. Everyone was gone except karan and siddharth.

Kunj came to them and handed over the cane to karan and stood besides siddharth.
He elbowed siddharth lightly and raised his eyebrow while pointing at ground.

And siddharth mouthed 'Breakfast' he answered kunj that all the other cadets are gone to have breakfast, a luxury which they could not afford today for the first time in their life.
Karan would always warn them back then that if they would not wake up on time, they would not get breakfast for that day but would always forgive them Who knew that his words would come in action on the very first of their academy.
