In your memories

Chapter 26.

Zaid POV.

I hugged Shanti body for the last, and promised to her. "I will. You were a brave soldier, and i won't let your sacrifice in waste. I promise i will finish every member of Black Snake organisation. May your soul rest in peace", Zaid covered shanti body with his jacket.

"Sir, we are running out of time. Only 30 minutes have left. Our Indian Airline plane will take off in 30 minutes. We will never make it", one solider said.

I looked at the helicopter of Omar Khan.
"

We will", all commanding officer looked at the chopper. We all immediately hop in flew towards Indian Air Army secret base, where Capt. Alex and Sara were waiting for us.

"You made in time",  airforce pilot greeted me.
"I have to", i spoke.
"Good now let's take off", our pilot took us to Delhi airforce base.

"Zaid", Sarah placed her small hands over my shoulder.
"I couldn't save her. I couldn't save Shanti, Sarah", i cried. In our training we were always taught,  not to be weak, not let your emotions take over you. But Shanti sacrifice, made me feel weak. I am going through the same pain, when we go through, in the lose of limb.

"She isn't dead Zaid. She live, in our memories. And whole country will remember her sacrifice for eternity", Sarah encouraged me.

She held her hands to wipe my tears and i hugged her.
"Sarah, i kill your baba", i told her.
"He was never my baba Zaid. I am not upset. He deserve that. I am glad that we are safe now", She said.
"No, Sarah. We ain't", i brought my face to her level.

"Black Snake head is still wandering freely and a man with the remote and nuclear bomb has sent to Delhi. We have to stop them. And i have to go", i held her hand.
"Zaid, you can die....", Sarah sobbed.
"Shh!!... please don't cry. I cannot run from my responsibility Sarah. Millions of people lives are on stake Sarah. I have to go", she is still silently crying.
"If you kept on crying like this. I won't be able to go Sarah", i cupped her face in my palm.

"Why you, can't they send someone else?", Sarah questioned.  I know she's emotionally drained. But i am a soldier. It's my duty to protect my country.

"Sarah don't say such things", i told her.
She buried her face over my chest and wipped silently. I cannot see her like this. She's my life and i can't bear to see her said. But i cannot do anything in this. 

"Zaid, i have lost so many people in my life. Maa, baba. I don't want to lose you. Please don't go", Sarah spoke with her cracked voice.

"Sarah, you shouldn't be saying such things. If the nuclear bomb will blast, many of millions people will lose their family. Do you want them to feel the same pain you felt. Of losing someone", she shaked her head in "no".

"But i also don't want to lose you", she said.
"Sarah, if i will be able to deactivate that bomb. Millions of lives will be saved. Millions of lives is worth than one life", i tried to convinced her.

"Look at me Sarah. You are my wife. Senior Agent  Karan Sehkawat's wife. The same Karan Sekhawat, who never feared death. Who is ready to sacrifice his life for his country. And you are my wife. You are a strong woman. You shouldn't be saying such things Sarah. Instead you should support me. Please Sarah let me go", i said.

"Promise me you will come back", she held her hand to me.
"I can't promise such thing, Sarah. But i will always their for you waiting in heaven for you", i said.

We cried and we hugged. I don't know what is doing to happen in the next moment. Maybe it could be my last. So, i want to make every moment memorial.

"Zaid, i have something to tell you", Sarah said.

"What it's sunshine", i carcassed her hair.

"I am pregnant"
