Anu Darling...As promised here is your FF... (Mera return gift yaad rakhna)
This story is set under different circumstances, though the main protagonists are Ram and Priya but other characters have been changed...
Beads
of perspiration formed on Ram's forehead. Still he did not move a
muscle. He knew he had to tread very carefully, one wrong move and he
could be blown to pieces...His uniform was soaked in sweat, mud and
blood...some his own some of the people he had just gunned down..A last
insurgent was holed up in the tiny house right across the stretch of
land. He motioned his men to lay still, he knew they were exhausted, the
combing operation had taken them almost 32 hrs at a stretch, without a
break, living off the bare necessities..He knew the one person hiding
would have been long dead if the path leading to the tiny cottage hadn't
been infested with land mines. He had to cautiously put a step forward.
Ram signaled one of his men to provide cover and fire in the other
direction, while he prepared himself for the final assault. Ram put each
step slowly gauging the ground. Meanwhile his men had started fire and were
engaging the militant in another direction..Ram had almost reached
halfway to the house...within no time he was right outside the door.
With a swift movement Ram pushed open the door and barged inside willing
to shoot anyone that came in his view. He looked around, there was no
sign of any movement as if the house was devoid of any human being. Ram
was a seasoned officer, he knew from years of training to expect the
unexpected and be prepared for the worst..His eyes darted across the
room, the last militant should be here and he wanted to capture him
alive..Suddenly he heard a muffled scream as if someone was crying out
for help..Instinctively Ram strained his ears to pick up the sound. It
was difficult to hear it with all the gun shots.
Suddenly out of no where a pair of hands leapt at him toppling him. Ram
struggled a bit as he was being literally choked. His gun had fallen to
the side...He could still hear the gun shots coming from the house.
That meant that his assumption was wrong, there were 2 people in the
house..Ram could feel the strength in him deteriorating, he had to
overpower this person and do it fast enough if he wanted to see another
day..But his opponent was strong, perhaps the strongest of all the
people he had faced so far and it wouldn't be easy to win over him...
Ram heard a cry from inside, the person holding him loosened his grip
for a mere seconds. Those few seconds were enough for Ram, he quickly
seized the opportunity and packed a deadly punch on his assaulter
summoning up all the strength he had. The militant wobbled back allowing
enough time for Ram to gather his composure...He aimed the gun at the
militant and fired.. The militant slumped to the ground, Ram had
deliberately aimed in such a way that it would just graze the body and
not pierce it, he wanted the man alive. Ram threw open the window. He
let out a cat call, his signal that all was clear.. Within no time his
men swarmed the house catching hold of the militant.
Ram stepped in the inside rooms of the house, he could still hear a
muffled cry...The cry became louder as he approached the door...Without
second thoughts Ram pushed open the door and stormed inside his gun
aimed at a figure sitting in dark..He saw the figure move and get up.
The figure approached Ram and said:
Well done captain Kapoor , another feather in your cap.
Ram moved closer and pulled the veil and stood there shocked at the
person staring back at him...Ram mumbled something before another wave
of pain shot through his legs and he collapsed to the ground...
To be continued...
