Akshat's POV

The next morning I woke up early and started getting ready.

I took my stuff and looked towards the bed where my beautiful wife was sleeping peacefully.

I went to her and kissed her head softly. 

"I love you."

I whispered and placed the letter on the nightstand and left.

Mumma was awake. I took her blessings and left.

I reached the railway station and boarded my train.

I reached the place in a few hours and changed into my uniform as I reached the training camp.

We were asked to switch off our phones.

For the next few days we trained and planned our attack. Apparently a terrorist activity was seen happening. Our sources confirmed that they were indeed terrorists and were planning an attack on the nearby cities.

Our plan of action was ready and we were ready to strike.

We were divided into two teams with me and Naman leading the teams.

We surrounded their camp from all the directions and took ambush till we are sure that there are no civilians inside.

Getting the confirmation we took positions.

We were waiting for the right moment to strike when a bullet went past by me, grazing my arm slightly.

Another bullet was shot and it pierced my left arm. I held my arm. My officers tried to come forward but I motioned them to stop.

We stayed still for some time. I think they were checking whether anyone was there or not. Everything went silent after some time and we saw the lights being switched off.

We switched on our night vision cameras. I asked one of my officers to check the positions. He motioned me that it was all clear and that we can proceed.

I motioned everyone to be alert and ATTACK!

We went inside slowly and silently. Soon the atmosphere was filled with gunshots and sounds of hurried footsteps from everywhere.

Run cowards run!

Few minutes later, the camp was nothing but a graveyard. We collected the bodies and dumped them on each other.

Checking inside once again we bombed all of their bodies.

We then sat inside our chopper waiting for the other team's signal.

After about five minutes we received their message:

Mission successful!

I smiled and we moved back to our camp.

I went to Naman and gave him a brotherly hug.

Our mission was successful. We could go back home. I could go back home. To my mother and to my Vaishnavi.

I got my arm bandaged. Our General appreciated us and we celebrated our victory.

The next day we boarded the trains to our respective homes and left.

Vaishnavi's POV

Two weeks. Its been two weeks since I woke up to find myself alone in bed.

I found a letter. His letter.

By the time you read this letter I'll be gone. Mai nhi jaanta ki mujhe kaha jaana hai. This might be the last time we met. I want you to promise me something. Agar mujhe kuch ho jaata hai toh you will move on in your life. I'll always love you Vaishnavi but I want you to be happy in your life.

I love you. And please don't cry.

Your handsome husband

I didn't know whether to laugh, smile or kill that husband of mine. How dare he say such things? Kuch nhi hoga unhe. I know he will come back to me.

I smile as I remember our memories in the one month that he was here. Near me. 

A few tears flow down my eyes.

Come back here Akshat! I miss you! Come soon. Mai intezaar kr rhi hu aapka.

I wipe my tears and plant a smile on my face.

I go out in the kitchen and start helping mummy.

We talk about general things and she asks.

"Akshat se baat hui teri?"

(Did you talk to Akshat?)

My smile falls slowly but I compose myself.

"Hui thi. Par thik se nhi. Busy the wo. Meeting mai the."

(Yes. But not properly. He was busy. Was in a meeting.)

She shakes her head and mumbles something and I smile.

"Aap kyu pareshan ho rhi hai. Chalo na hum kahi bahar chalte hai."

(Why are getting worried. Come lets go out somewhere.)

I say trying to distract her.

"Nhi baba mai toh bhut thak gyi. Tu ek kaam kr. Market tak ho aa. Kuch saaman bhi laana hai wo bhi leti aana."

(No I am very tired. Do one thing. Go to market. Get some things too.)

I nod and she messages me the list.

I take my bag and go out.

Haa! Finally! All done! I have three shopping bags in my hands. And I am dead tired.

I take a rickshaw and reach home. Paying the rickshaw driver I move inside the house and mummy opens the door with a huge smile.

I keep the bags on the sofa and she continues to look at me with that smile.

"Kuch hua hai kya?"

(Did something happen?)

I ask her and she shakes her head.

"Jaake fresh hoja. Phir dinner krte hai."

(Go freshen up. Then we'll have dinner.)

I nod and go to my room.

As soon as I enter, someone jumps out from behind the door and shouts.

"BOO!"

I jump back startled and look at the man wide eyed. Tears form in my eyes seeing him after two long weeks.

I jump into his arms and hug him tightly. He chuckles and wraps his arms around me nuzzling his nose into my neck.

"I love you so much."

He whispered and I pulled back. I start hitting his chest as tears fall down my eyes.

"Bhut bure hai aap. Kya bakwaas likh kr gye the aap uss letter mai."

(You are very bad. What nonsense did you write in that letter.)

"Aree mai toh-"

(I was-)

I hit him again and he hissed. I look at him clutching his arm.

"Kya hua? Aapko chot aayi hai? Akshat? Dikhaiye mujhe."

(What happened? You are hurt? Show me.)

"Arre nhi kuch nhi hua. Tumne bhut zor se maara."

(Nothing. You hit very hard.)

He says trying to pull back but I did not pay head and started unbuttoning his shirt.

"Arre! Kya kar rhi ho? I know you missed me lekin atleast raat tak toh ruk jaao-"

(What are you doing? But wait till night atleast -)

I glared at him and he shuts up.

I remove his shirt and see a big bandage on his arm. I look at him teary eyed and he pulls me in a hug.

"Mai thik hu. Zinda khada hu tumhare saamne."

(I am fine. Standing alive on front of you.)

"Aapko kuch ho jaata toh mai kya krti?"

(What would I have done if something happened to you?)

I mumble in his chest and he cups my face.

"Tension mat lo. Itni asaani se nhi peecha chhutega mujhse tumhara. Abhi toh puri life tang krna hai mujhe tumhe."

(Don't worry. You won't be free from me so easily. I have to tease you whole life.)

He says nuzzling his nose into mine and kisses my lips softly.

I smile into the kiss. My heart finally at peace after so long. This man is my home!
