HEEDING TO THE SOUL

Chapter 28: A Full Circle

Mihir spoke in low voice, it was barely audible to even Sanya and Madhav who were sitting right beside him...they focused only on his words...

Mihir slowly found himself seeing the whole thing again, but because a part of his brain knew he couldn't break down again, the brain showed the memory as a distinct story...

Madhav and Sanya were paying close attention to his whispers...

Mihir spoke:

(A/N: Trigger warning: emotional breakdown, death of a person..if it triggers you, don't read the bold italic part, comment and I'll tell you the summary)

8 years ago, after whatever tricks they used, Mihir hadn't broken or given any right details...

Beside Mihir's cell, there was another RAW agent..he had been on the mission 4 years before Mihir's mission...

He had been caught a year ago..

The ISI was being harsh with him because this agent, Satya Rathore, had joined the country army and even gained higher officials' trust..he had been living a life in the country for the past several years, even before his actual mission began...he was living here under the name Junaid Ansari..he was well respected in the country when a rogue agent told the military spies about Junaid's real identity...

Since then he was caught and tormented..

Satya remained strong..

The ISI took advice from a psychologist to break their prisoner (Satya)..

Mihir's cell door was banged open and they told him to stand up..

He did and was quickly flanked by two guards..they held him by the arms and made him stand at the corner of Satya's cell...

Mihir was highly confused when he saw Satya on his knees, his wrists and ankles cuffed together...

He was flanked by guards..

Mihir looked up as he heard cries of a woman..

The guards dragged a woman inside, she too was tied, but also blindfolded..

Mihir saw Satya struggling to release himself, to go to the woman...

Mihir looked at his side as the guard told him:"that's the stupid agent's wife in Pakistan..Huda Ansari..just see what we do to your precious agent now"

Mihir felt a shiver down his spine as he sensed what they were going to do...he prayed it wasn't true..

Satya's eyes widened as he saw the guard take out a gun...he shouted at them to not do it.. struggling constantly..

Huda was crying for help:"Junaid..Junaid where are you...they were saying you are in the ISI jail..Junaid..save me, why am I here..Junaid, are you..are you here.."

Her cries were shut by a gun sound and Satya's eyes witnessed the horror...the guard shot his wife dead..

Mihir tried to look away from the horrific scene but the guard held him by the back of his neck to see it all..

Satya struggled to go to her and as a few minutes passed and the realised sunk in, Satya's eyes filled up slowly...

Mihir was already crying, and seeing Satya like that, his heart ached...he tried to close his eyes to look away, he knew they were trying to break him too..
