Armed Forces in Love ✔

Everything was going black and blur. Yashodha found herself being pulled by the gravity at a fast rate yet slow almost suspended. She was seeing flashes of images before her, it passed in milliseconds. Those images reminded her of who she was for the many people that existed in her life. The moments of which she cherished the most, hated the most and all random moments of her life came visible to her. The air pushed against her face, she closed her eyes awaited for the unavoidable. 

At the fast rate suspended moment, a faint yet loud voice echoed, pulling her awake from the sleep she voluntarily dived into. That voice, she was getting attached too suddenly became a driving force for her to fight for survival. She realised she was falling and if she continues to fall at the speed, she would certainly die. Gasping for air, Yashodha frantically looked around and immediately grabbed the thick curtain that dangled from the offset rooftop. In a matter of seconds, she managed to make a not so smooth landing with the help of the fabric, hurting herself in the process. 

At the touch of the ground, Yashodha surrendered to the pain letting the remaining darkness swallow her entirely.

Yashodha's team led by Venkat move speedily into the east wing of the palace where his fellow soldiers were kept as soon as they received her call. Each one were armed with Glock and guns handed over by the local police and of those they had brought along with them.

They planned an ambush of surprise gunshot firing from everywhere. Some were the far range shooter firing from the opposite building, some attacked from the floor above like ninjas while the rest did the direct attack. The ambush left the naxal unprepared causing losses from their side leaving Agasthya stranded alone among the angry Indian Army.

Shaurya pointed his gun to the Naxalite leader. The image of his fellow friends who laid lifeless back at the camp flashed before him. His finger etched to press the trigger and finish of the traitor but he knew best to keep Agasthya alive for further inquiry.

Adrenalin flood through his system. It beats and pumped as if it would escape any moment. It was as if his heart were being pulled out of him. Everything momentarily stopped as he witness his dear friend falling off to the ground. Silence prevailed around him though another riot had taken place to where he was left to witness. He painfully watched her struggle before crashing on the ground.

She laid there motionless.

Tears spilled out of his eyes as he let out another blood-curdling scream. Jagdish dragged himself down the staircase to reach the wounded.

If there was one thing he did not imagine, it was his fear happening otherwise. Over these years he had been living in fear of what will his loved ones do if something unfortunate happens to him but at that moment....

Watching Yashodha fall from the third floor had him realised, what will he do if fatal occurs to those he cared?

He wouldn't be able to take it if anything ever happens to his loved ones. Jagdish rather take the fatal to himself than seeing them go over it. The pain of just thinking about it was too excruciating. He buried his face in his palms. 

As he got treated for his injuries in the hospital, he kept pondering about the same. About his fear, his loved ones and Yashodha whom he was growing fond of. 

He hadn't said a word since they had brought Yashodha to the hospital along with the other injured people. 

Jagdish knew she would survive, she was a strong woman. However, the moment flashed before him once again causing him to involuntarily relive the incident. He felt those horrifying emotion agitated in him again.
