In Quest Of Love

Chapter # 44

    Indian space commission...

 

The huge  round table was crowded with the officials from police department, army  and ISRO...

   Shravan and Neeraj entered the hall ... Neeraj chose to sit at the allotted chair where Shravan opted the chair next to Aditya...

" Hai bro...". Aditya clung his fisted arm with Shravan's... His electrified energy lifted  Shravan's mood a bit...

" You're awesome bro.." appreciating Aditya, Shravan sat comfortably...

Leena was arranging some papers at one corner.. she waved her hands at Aditya and Shravan...

  " Life is an adventure... Right bro?"

Aditya said cheerful... Shravan accepted it  with a huge nod...

" Yes Aditya... It had unpredictable twists and turns... If we do something,it ends up in different situation we don't even imagine..."

Suman's conversation came to his mind while saying so...

Aditya laughed at his speech...

" May be you are right... But, what I meant was, last week we were in a country where we were not sure about our lives.. now, we broke all the odds and sitting here like heroes..."

  Shravan curled his lips and patted him in appreciation...

  Their conversation broke as the room was filled with a sudden bloom of fragrance... Following, there was the sound of  footstep that extended  throughout and exactly ended just opposite to Shravan...

Shravan turned his head to the foot steps and found Suman... She was too gorgeous in a black dress... Her high pony danced rhythmically with her every move... As usual, she had very less makeover with a slight tinted lips.. Her walk  spoke volumes about her positive attitude...  She elegantly said hello to the one's who were sitting next to her..

" Yeah.. hai!!!

"How are you doing?"

" Fine.. doing good"

She spoke with her friends that sounded like a music to Shravan...

It's only Suman who could bewilder shravan with her simple smile...

He was at trance from the moment she entered the hall...

" Am I too late?"

She asked one of her friends, pointing the wrist watch...

It is for you Shravan!!!

Her eyes pointed it to him... And, he noticed it...

She was wearing the same pattern of Shravan's wrist watch..must be a couple watch set...!

Shravan didn't take his eyes off her flawless face...

  " Ikkkummmm"

Aditya cleared his throat noisily...

" Bro... She's your girlfriend...I accept...  But, control yourself... We are men"

He teased shravan unaware of their mindset...

It's when the director came to his seat , shravan came out of the trance...

" Good evening officers... We are at the end of this year , reminiscing the mission Delta... I congratulate every crew in this mission for their unparalleled effort towards the nation and it's upliftment... Thank you officers"

  The director  gestured Mr. Sen Gupta to review the mission and the outcome briefly...

  Sen Gupta stood up with a smile. Greeting the group formally, he began to talk...

" So , the entire team  Delta one and Delta two are here...I thank you all very much... "

He gave a pause...

" Security threats to ISRO is not a new one in history... But, this time if we failed  to identify the issue , we would have lost our country to the enemy... Think of the consequences..we would have gone  almost twenty years  back in history... "

" Thank God that didn't happen... As we know well we have succeeded in the mission ... Our satellite launch countdown would begin shortly..."

" The Serbian intelligence undertook virender Singh's custody... They promised us that there will be a high commission to enquire the same... "

" As of now, we knew that some people or countries joined to form a syndicate to take control over the world by turning the sattelitte into missile... Now, our team had declined the program and the self destructing module was done in the main laboratory.. so, not only our country's but all the country's sattelittes which they took control over was set free to work on it's module.. "

" Wisely, the syndicate chose a prostitute's home for underground operation... Now, the area is under the Serbian intelligence control... "

"No one in the world except us will know about this issue... Serbian government requested us not to publisize the issue as the country's wellbeing may depend upon it... "

" The plutonium filled gadget is carefully dismantled under safety circumstances and kept for positive usage like power producing units.."

" Here, we handover this mission to government and in future there may be some issues that we should be ready to act at anytime... Thank you guys"

It was really a long speech...

While everyone were tapping the table softly in acknowledgement, the director stood up...

" Guys... We were sitting in the room while you're at the frontline in the mission.. we were tensed like hell and I can't find  a word to mention your unparalleled work... you're not less than soldiers...Here , I am happy to declare one step higher promotion to all to acknowledge your dare and dedication "

Cheerful claps rose in the hall...

" I would like to introduce a new member of ISRO who worked daringly for this mission... Mr. Shravan Malhotra..."

" I appoint him as one of the leaders for the country's prestigious  space mission ' Gaganyaan' which will be launched in December 2022"

  Gaganyaan is India's first manned mission to space..It is India's human space flight programme that is  supposed to be 2 to 3 person crew on board  for maximum of seven days sustainable in space .. Vyommitra , the female robot will travel in the crew...

It will be milestone Indian space history if succeeded... Being a part in the mission is really a great honour that would happen after so many years of experience in the same field...

It was a proud moment for Shravan...

Appreciating claps soared high when Shravan respectfully accepted his words...

Shravan saw suman , she was looking him with happy tears... Happiness was enormous in her face... She closed her eyes for a moment and gestured him congrats...

His lips curled into cheerful smile...
