another os adapted from a short story but with my own modified method
uday veer glanced skywards at the wide bands of searchlights probing the jaigarh sky and then went up steps into the library ,his colonel Giriraaj and the rajmata of Devgarh mrinalini devi was waiting and turned a large map of Devgarh ,he opened a a file on his desk and handed uday veer a photograph
DS:this is jaggat he is the head of the army in devgarh two days before we heard that he 'd been taken by the britishers uday veer just in a week the war is going to start
uday veer like every indian had been expecting a war of independence but still the statement came as a shock to him
UDAY:A week???????
DS:yes a week and if there is a leakage about anything then we will be in a huge trouble so you either need to rescue him or murder him
uday veer nodded it was not first time he was doing it the first time he did was before three years when he killed a general soilder Akash Verma who was suspected to help the british but it is only after that he discovered that Akash was innocent ,so this would not be a new experience
UDAY:when is he being held?
griraaj rose and tapped the wall map
GIRIRAAJ:here in devgarh the old prison near the marketplace our mens will be there to help you
UDAY:i will do my best sir
uday knelt on the damp grass and bundled the billowing folds of his parachutes into the hole ,around the wood was quite and deserted ,the expected torch signal were no where to be seen he walked and suddenly his legs slipped and he fell inside a trap he stood trying his best to come up but it was impossible he saw a shadowy figure came up the steps and a hand came ,it was ahnd of no boy but of a girl he caught it ,the hand was so cold yet so soft ,within seconds he fond himself up again he looked at the girl who had helped him ,she was most in the early age of her twenty ,she was beautiful she was wearing a white sari with no jewels her hair was shoulder length and she looked no less than an angle uday was mesmerished by her beauty and fell in love at the first sight ,
GIRL:you are the man send by giriraaj right
UDAY:Yes but you
GIRL:i am manyata i am here to help you this way follow me
she urged him to the town ,the streets were all deserted and took him downthe steps he saw for the first time a gapping hole in the embankment without hesitation she went down and he followed ,grimacing in distaste as the stench of the sewer reached him ,shots sounded behind him and he quickened his pace splashing through the stream of foul water that was dimly lit by moonlight glancing through the drains above
MANYATA:now we go up
above was a large lighted room as they both were seated she smiled with a touch of sadness
UDAY:i do not know how you managed to find me but i am very grateful to you
MANYATA:you needed help and i knew you were coming
UDAY:i was supposed to meet them in the forest what happened?
MANYATA: British officers arrested them someone betrayed ...but still the reason of you coming here is alienated from them

MANYATA:that is murder
her voice was cold ,as icy as her eyes he felt his his fingure going numb
UDAY:manyata this is the best this i cannot escape with him and if i leave him he might talk so this is the best thing for us
MANYATA:AH the same old story better to sacrifice one life than many but everyone is not akash verma
there was a pitness anger in her voice and bitterness in her voice ,he could have fought but he did not want to risk the noise of her struggle he grabbed her by her waist and dug his nails sharp on her soft waist and pulled her close to him but she just struggle with every struggle his nails dug depper in her
UDAY:i will do what i want and you cannot stop me

MANYATA;it sickens you na you too know that every life is precious war demands that we kill but only in our defence you still hate yourself each day for what you did to akash i know but back them there was no one to help you but now you have me
he gave up the fight he let go of her waist and said he felt her grip on her wrist loose he knew she was right ,he was tried of pretanding the cold blooded
