One year ago....

As I reached the head Quarters I was assigned to the border because as per the intelligent report there is a threat there. So, after finishing all the formalities I went to Kashmir and Pakistan border.

Total 25 highly trained soldiers were assigned for this mission and I was the one who was incharge for that mission.

Dhvani is looking at Vivaksh with a proud look on her face knowing that he was the incharge.

Dev Mehra who is a very good friend of mine and also second in command. Along with him we started towards the assigned place.

When Vivaksh spoke about his friend there is some hidden pain in that, which both Dhvani and Rudy could sense it but didn't utter a word.

According to the report there were two kinds of information one was that terrorists are planning to attack the civilian of Kashmir and another one was that they were planning to bomb attack. We didn't know which one was the correct one but we were ready for both the attacks.

All the soldiers were ready to face any kind of situation expect for the one happened.

And now it's been 4 months......

No news about the attacks or any kind of moments!!! We started to think that it was a false report and they might be planning some other attack in some other location. But we couldn't take it lightly as well!! Thinking that they were just testing our patience we stayed back and guarding our border!!!

But I couldn't sit quietly so I started to dig deeper in to the matter. I started to connect all the dots.

- First someone comes and tells that we were under attack

- but no information about how we got this news.

- But there was no such thing happening

- Was this a diversion??

- Were they planning another attack in different location?

- But there was no news about any other attack

- Were they trying to plan something else??

- Was this a trap?

- If it's a trap what are they going to do next?

I started to think about all these things there is no clue about anything.

One such day.... At night

After having our dinner everyone was retrieving to their respective tents but Dev and I were awake. It's actually dev and another soldier's turn to guard our base but he wasn't feeling too well so, l I asked him to rest and I took his position. And to my knowledge no one knows about it not even Dev. As I had few things to report i went to the Maintenance room (another tent) but with in this few minutes everything happened.

When I came outside of the maintenance room everything thing was set fire and few of the terrorists were shooting soldiers so that they couldn't escape, but few soldiers were defending themselves as well!!

It is looking like a well planned trap!! Cuz not even a single soldier were having their guns in their hands it was looking as if their guns were hidden somewhere by someone. Slowly, everyone were dying.

For few minutes I couldn't comprehend what was actually happening. But later I composed myself and started firing at them. As I was on patrol I had my weapon with me. I managed to knockdown 2 terrorists but I was shot.

Dhvani burst into tears which she is trying to hold back. She couldn't take anymore, it's too much for her. She isn't understanding how she is going to react. Her husband went though so much pain in the past few months.

She immediately hugged him and started crying her heart out. He understood her inner turmoil started caressing her hair and consoling her.

Rudy understands the situation and leaves them alone and goes outside to console himself. He is no different from Dhvani, she is able to express her emotions thought her tears where as he couldn't do that in front of his friend and sister-in-law. So, he came outside for some fresh air.

Inside, Dhvani is crying like there is no tomorrow and Vivaksh is trying his best to console her.

"You.... you .. were... shot??" She manages to speak in between.

He slowly nods his head. But immediately says.... "Hey look!! I am fine right now and infront of you. Please don't cry!!! From the time I came you have been crying a lot!! Quit crying!!" In the end he raised his voice a little cuz she is not showing any signs of stopping.

"You don't have to worry about anything now!! I am right infront of you!! So, please don't cry!' I can't see you in tears!!" He again consoles her.

After few minutes her sobs subsided but she started removing his shirt which he is wearing urgently.

"Hey!!! There is time for this, wild cat!!!" He tried to make the situation lite by cracking a stupid joke which obviously not successful. Dhvani just glared at him and continued her work.

She found 3 bullet shots near his abdomen area.

She caresses his wounds which are now healed completely. Fresh tears formed in her eyes seeing those gun shot marks.

Meanwhile, Rudy comes in after knocking and gets shocked seeing 3 gun shot wounds.

"What the hell!?? You didn't tell that you were shot 3 times??" Rudy asks him angrily at the same time emotionally.

But now he could no longer hide his tears. He cried hugging his best friend who has faced a lot in these past few months.

After consoling Rudy as well he again started to tell.

I went into unconscious state after that!!

The next thing I know was that I was in a small village and they were treating my wounds.

They told me that they found me in the river. But I don't remember how I got in to the river in the first place.

They also told me that I was in coma for 5 months. They thought that it was impossible for me to survive.
