We all proceeded down to get out of the building from the back door exit . By now all the guards of the area must be on high alert so we have to be very cautious of were we go . I had already left the door open for us to exit safely . Going towards the ground floor I constantly glanced back to Rajveer who was being carried by Alekh . Apparently both Rajveer and Naveen bhaiya were given a heavy sedative everyday to prevent them from escaping . The same went for Gunny and Abhimanyu but because they knew that there definitely will be rescue mission they dodged the sedatives . 

Getting out of the building was not as hard as I imagined it to be . Which got me thinking how is it possible that such a high class security force and only a hand full of guards came to stop us . Where were rest of the guards ? Why did I have a feeling that while we were here they were somewhere else orchestrating another attack . What ever the reason ,we will have to wait for them till we get back to base camp .

As planed Gunny was waiting for us at the meeting point . It was a little awkward for us but not as much . Because no matter the history between us he will be a good friend , and plus I am dying for him to get back to KMA and see the surprise I have planed for him . But all that will have to wait as well , because right now I have to meet the only blood related family i have left . I ran towards them as soon as they came into my view .

Gunny was standing right in front of me and knew that i want to meet bhaiya . Before icould go on to meet him Gunny stopped me.

Gunny : " Naina Naveen ko maine baki sabke sath base camp bhej diya hai . Wo abhi yahan nahi hai. And waise bhi with the amount of sedatives in his system he won't be walking up for another 7 8 hours . Same goes for Rajveer ."

Although I wanted to shout at him for not letting me meet bhai , but I understood what he meant by this . His health came first and if that meant that I don't get tot meet him for another hour or so it's fine by me . And he was right Naveen bhaiya and Rajveer won't be able to stay awake , at least not till we are half way to KMA .

Naina: " No it's alright . Baki sab bhi gae na base camp ? Any sever injuries that we should be worried about because it is still a long way to the nearest Army hospital ."

Gunny : " No luckily there were no serious injuries all officers were given immidiate first aid here by Huda and Ali . They should benefit till we reach the hospital ."

Naina : " And what about you guys . Aap dono theek hai ya are there any injuries that need attention ? And please don't lie ." I asked them as we started our journey towards the base camp ."

Gunny : " Tumhe kya lagta naia hum tumse jhoot bolenge ."

Abhi : " Haan bilkul, hum apke seniors apse jhoot koyn boolenge ."

Alekh : " Aap hamare seniors hain isiliye to ye problem hai na . Ab zada hekdri nahi dekhane ka aur sach sach bolne ka ."

Abhi : " Hum sach hibol rahen hain bs 2 3 choote moti scratchs hai aur kuch nahi ."

Naina : " Theek hai maan liya . Ab saba chalen ya yahin rukne ka irada hai base camp pe ,wiase bhi koi Captain Alekh Sharma ka bari besabree se inteezar kr raha hoga ."

Abhi : " Acha matlab hum yahan hostage bane hue the Captain Sharma apni life set krne meinbusy , waah ye hain hamare royal gaurd . Waise do tell ye kaun hai jisko ineezar hai Cpt. Sharma ka ."

Naina : " Sargun Gehlot."

Gunny : " Waise jo kaho Rajveer aur Naina ne ye acha trend shuru kiya hai cadet and Capt. Love stories ka ."

Naina : " Aap bol to aise rahein hai jaise aap bilkul dood ke dhulen hai yahan sabse zada Cadet count to apka hai gunny ."

Abhi : " Ye baat to sahi boli naina."

Abhi sir only gave an smirk and topic stopped altogether because the base camp was insight .Pooja came out to receive us and give us a debrief on the situation .

Pooja : " Ao ji sirji bas aap hi logon ka wait tha ."

Abhi : " Wiase besabri se wait krne wali nahi dekh rahi ." He whispered in my year.I just smirked to him . 

Naina : " Pooja baki sare log kahan gae yahan to hum log Rummy aur Sargun ko bhi chood ke gae the na , aur baki sare soldiers , wo sab bhi dekh nahi rahe ."

Pooja : " Haan un sabko maine bhej diya tha . Do ambulance already yahan wait kr rahi thibas do or a hi rahi hongi Shah Rukh aur Naveen bhaiya ke liye ."

Gunny : " Ye ShahRukh kaun hai yahan?"

Pooja : " Are Rajveer sir aur kaun ."

Naian : " Guys mai ander ja rahi hun ."

I didn't wait to hear their reply and went on to the tent . With each step I took I had a flashback of all the happy moments spent with bhai . The first time we had a fight . The first time I told him about my crush . The time he was leaving for the Academy . Him coming back in the holidays .His home coming after the graduation . All the rakhees i spent with him and with out him .I knew that he won't be awake right now , but the feeling of knowing that he is breathing and alive was overwhelming .

I went in and saw him sound asleep with his normal habit of opening his mouth and for the second time in the day I found myself crying silently . I usually have a good amount of control over my emotions but today they were all over the place . Just watching him laying peacefully in front of me gave me a hole new purpose to live my life . With every breath he took my heart was filled with warmth . And up to this moment I hadn't really noticed how dead I felt on the inside . How hollow I felt ,even though I thought that I had moved on . I have been content and happy with what ever I have in my life , but this was revelation for me today . That these two men are what make me alive and happy .Nothing in this world could ever complete me like these two do . And that was the moment i broke .

I hadn't noticed that Abhi and Alekh were standing on either side of me . Abhi quickly took me in for a much needed hug . And just let me cry . For a few moments I wasn't a decorated soldier of the Indian Army but I was just a sister who had found out that his brother who she thought was dead for the past 10 years was in fact alive and well . I was a lover who had lost the first love of her life as soon as she had realized it.In that moment I had the two most important parts of me with me and it was all I could ever ask for . I just cried my heart out . I really hadn't cried like this at Rajveer's death because of the initial shock and also because I hadn't had the time to . I had a mission , I had to clear their name and return them their honour .This was the first time i have cried like this since Naveen bhaiya's death and I am glad that It is a occation like this that I am crying on and nothing sad .

After a while I had it all out of my system and all the time Abhimanyu just let me cry . I stop crying and got out of his arms and thanked him for that he said no problem . Wiping the tears of my face I went to bhaiya's bedside .And held his hand for the first time in 10 years .

I took a deep breath and made my self believe that is not a dream that they are in fact here. Right at that moment the first ambulance arrived this was suppose to take Naveen bhaiya and Gunny to the hospital Alekh said he will go with them as well .Naveen bhaiya was loaded in the ambulance and the second ambulance that was suppose to take Rajveer was still 20 minutes out so we still had time .

I went back inside the tent and saw him there . Asleep not as peaceful as bhaiya was ,Moving to his bedside and held his hand . Instantly a smile came across his face which made grin in return . Abhimanyu came in sat on the other side .

Abhi: " Apko pta hai naina itne saalon se Raj ko jante hai hum, par aaj tak aise sukoon ke sath , aise smile unke chehre pe nahi dekhi atleast soote time to nahi dekhi . Ye sirf aap kar pai hai aaj tak . Hum bade gadhe the jo uss time Raj ke iss pyar ko dekh hi nahi pae ."

Naina : "Sirf aap nahi , unka pyar to mujhe bhi nahi dekha tha , aur jab dikha tab takkafi late ho gaya tha nai ."

Abhi : " Naina pyaar ke mamle mein kabhi der nahi hoti , jisse jab ehsaas ho jae ab sahi aur jitna time mila utna hi bahut hota hai apni puri life ke liye .Haan lekin agr apka pyaar apke samne ho aur apko uska ehsaas hochahen usko ho ya na ho usko jane nahi dena chaiye . Bas koshish karte rehna chahiye ."

Naina : " To ye baatto ap par bhi lagu hoti hai na . Apne koyun jane diya . Aur agar pta nahi bhi tha us time aap koyn nahi uske peeche ae . Aap koyun nahilade uske liye ."

Abhi : " Hamara kissa alg hai naina . Ladne ko to hum aaj bhi taiyaar hai , par jab samne  wale ko sab pta ho aur wo khud na chahe ki koi uske liya lade , to wo kiss kam ki jung naina .

 Naina : " Ye baat naaap KMA jake usse kahiyega jo apke liye assault rifle liye taiyaar baithi hai . Rifle hi koyun joota ,chappal ,gun sab tiayaar hai bas aapki kami hai . Wada liya tha mujhse ke aapko sahi salamat wapas laun takiwo apse peechle ek saal ka pura hisaab le saken ."

Abhi : " Aap sach bol rahi hai naina ." He looked totally shocked and surprised by this piece of information .

Naina : " Ji bilkul sach . Ab to aap apke paas confirmation bhi a gaya na. Ab to ladye chauhan sahab ."

Abhi : " Ab ladaie nahi jung hogi jo ki hum kissi kimat pe nahi harenge after all hamari jaan ki jung hai . Hum wada karte hai naina is baar nahi jane denge."

With that promise he left . I guess to prepare for his battle . I was also about to move but my hand was held tighter . Wide eyed I turned to look at Rajveer. A smile on his face .

Rajveer : " Assault rifle joot chappal , kya baat hai ye kaun hai jo itni shiddat se chahun ka intezar kar rahi hai ?"
