Chapter 3

I walk out of my room heading down the corridor and waiting, just waiting to hear the Generals and Camp Owners to call us for a meeting. But no, they were too busy chatting with themselves. Hmmmm, I sigh and walk towards the window, letting the cool air hit my face softly as I take in the beautiful landscape around me. I smile and finally hear our names being called. I turn around quietly and stand next in line between two tall men. Everyone turns towards their partners on the right and I feel the man next to me, who kinda looked from bihar laugh at me.

I glare back at him and turn to my other side to find Aakash chuckling slightly at me, after winking. Well one thing I knew for sure was, they would always bow down to me and my head would be held up high. I look straight and raise my head in honor. I see the bihari dude frown at me and look at Aakash nodding negatively.

"Welcome fellow cadets, It is a pleasure to have you here and seeing you represent your country, may you all bring pride to our home and keep it pure as it can ever be….now starting tomorrow is your training for today you will just walk around and enjoy the scenery along with getting used to your new home for these six months. And we hope that through these courses you will face in the upcoming years that you not only make yours physically strong but emotionally as well, especially you women, we are glad to have you here but we want for you to grow emotionally strong so that you can not be manipulated by anyone." General Shashank said in one breath.

I looked up at him and suddenly realized me and him were never going to get along if he believed us women were weak….I turn towards ma'am Heer who stood their quite upset with his comment, completely giving me the idea that he too had said something highly rude.

I take a deep breath walk two steps forward and speak, catching General Shashank off guard who stared at me with furious eyes as I spoke, "sir, im sorry to say this, but I think its for your benefit if you think women are weak, then take a look around we are much stronger than you can ever be…I do not know what you have been taught as a young child by your mother, but im sure you have seen how strong of a person she is as well you may want to look around there are MANY women officers today and we can do all that you men can do…so next time during a new year make sure you choose your words correctly before you mock the opposite gender, because I can tell you right now there will always be someone to speak up and argue about the words you chose to mock our society. That's all!"

I turn on my heals and walk into my bedroom while all the others stared at me shocked and speechless. I hear Aakash and the bihari dude mutter something under their mouth in awe or was it anger, whatever it was I really didn't give a damn at the moment, I mean do they seriously expect for me to hear myself being mocked when I decide to take this action. What the heck, what century were these men living in?

I stare at nothing in particular, my eyes wandering in every direction in hopes to avoid Rupa whose constant gaze on me was very how do I explain, CREEPY much? I mean all I had said was the truth no need to ogle me, I know yesh yesh im pretty and all but seriously not a lesbian. I chuckle slightly and wait until I finally hear her speak.

"Wow Manya, I think if I were you I would have walked outta here by now, I mean you completely talked back to General Shashank and on top of that your tone was very….awesome, if you ask me but others will take it as disrespect for elders."

"hey Rupa, don't worry about me, all I did was stand up for the truth, now lets go look around, wanna come?" She nodded. "Or should I go by myself?"

"I'll come" I smile at her as we both outside linked arm in arm like sisters. I smile at her and give her a side hug for being with me.

My walk outside was dreadful all the new cadets glared at me for disrespecting sir and then others smiled at me, oh well I just stood up for the truth, one thing sir and ma'am must have noticed by now is that I can't take disrespect for women and im sure from now on we will be treated as an equal human being.

I keep walking lost in my thoughts when I find some cute looking guy with glasses on, I stare at him as he smiles back, "hi im gul, very nice speech earlier I was going to say the same." I smile at him and understood quickly our friendship would blossom. I shake my hands not noticing someone else glaring at me.
