The Warrior

Part 25

Rama worriedly sauntered from one end to another since morning... she had called so many times on Aarti's phone but every time she got no answer...

"Why don't you check with Mr Oberoi?" Rama said to Manmohan

Manmohan pulled his mobile from the pocket "you're right" he said and quickly dialled the number...

Rama had called the army quarters and no one had any news about Aarti... moreover she was scared to hear that the soldiers at the duty were shot dead...

"No, he doesn't know anything. Last time he spoke to her was 10pm last night" Manmohan said...

"Oh God...where is my daughter... what has happened to her. It's all because you didn't listen to me that time... and got her married to Veer." Rama shouted indignantly at Manmohan

"Veer is a responsible man Rama" Manmohan tried to convince her...

Rama cried "I have seen that...my daughter was never happy after this marriage and now I have a feeling that her life is in danger. Veer doesn't even know where his wife is...did you tried calling him?"

Manmohan checked his phone "I have left the message with the army chief, only they can contact Veer...he's on an important mission"

Rama crossly looked at her husband "you are taking it so lightly...if anything happened to my Daughter I will sue that man..." she walked into the kitchen

Kirti and Vikram stood at the door listening to their conversation...

"Dad..." Kirti walked to him... "Aarti tried calling me last night...but I was unable to talk to her..."

Manmohan sadly looked at the phone

"Don't worry Dad... Veer will not let anything happen to Aarti..." Vikram assured

Vikram looked at Kirti "we need to go to the doctor Kirti"

Rama came out worriedly "why? What happened?"

"Nothing... Mom, I wasn't well..."

Rama looked at Vikram "what happened? Tell me? At least you two be a little sensible. I am already worried about Aarti"

"Mom, I am fine...let me go for a check-up and I will be back" Kirti requested and consoled her mother "don't worry, If needed Vikram and I will go to Dehradun and check"

Rama wiped her tears "I will also go with you"

Veer and the other team spotted the house where the terrorists were last traced...

"You all wait here" he ordered his team

Veer slowly stirred towards the house...It was empty but he could hear a ticking sound... he realised the house had a time bomb fixed... he quickly hurried outside the house advising his team to stay away... just after few seconds the bomb blasted...

"Sir...they knew we would reach this place" said one of the cadets...
