RANVIJAY

"I am warning you for the last time to drop your weapons now and surrender", terrorists glanced at me while my grip on the rifle got tighter and I wrap my finger around the trigger. I warned the terrorists as I was deployed for the rescue mission at medical college Delhi.

"We aren't going to do that, we are here to destroy the whole college in front of you", one of the guys chuckled, "are you talking about dropping weapons, I think you need to go home, cowards", they laughed, making me sigh.

While listening to his words my anger was at its peak, "did they try to provoke me saying coward", damn they didn't know that no one can provoke me ever. I took five steps towards them, "we will surely go home but after crushing your bloody heads", I replied in anger.

"Do you have that courage soldier", he grinded his teeth. "We are brutal and the few soldiers can't beat us", he added, ego dripping from his words. I immediately wanted to crush his tongue first because they are hell noisy, damn they bark a lot.

"You're absolutely right, few can't beat all of you, I myself enough to crush your heads, that's what cowardly style", I chuckled in my usual cold tone while pointing the gun at them. My team immediately back in action because they have been sure that their commanding officer turned into a violent man.

"Seems like they don't believe in surrendering themselves", I again used my cold tone while rolling my eyes to Major Arjun, and he knew what I was going to do next, "everyone already at their position, give us order", Arjun said while shifting his eyes over me.

"They have kept the hostages on the second floor", I conveyed to my team, "We will enter from that floor", I pointed out, "keep in mind that any student shouldn't be harmed", I ordered them and asked them to accomplish the operation.

"Hands up", one of the terrorists said while firing a bullet in the air, "I hate it when someone says hands up to me", I kicked him and pierce his head with my bullet. We were engaging some of the terrorists in a gunfight with us, while my other comrades were carefully rescuing the students one by one.

After a lot of backfiring, my team and I saved many students and killed many terrorists. "Wolf scans the whole area if anyone is left", I asked over the headphones while I was scanning the whole corridor.

While evacuating students one of them came to me in a rush, "Sir, they have imprisoned a girl alone on that side", she sighed in fear while pointing to the other side of the corridor. I knew it some mother fuckers was still left, I sigh in annoyance. "You just don't worry about her, we will rescue her too", I assured the girl.

"Officer, take her away", I passed the glance to the officer, "wolf and you two come with me", they nodded after hearing me and I turned my heels towards the corridor. Something strange started happening when I walked towards the corridor as I started breathing heavily, "what wrong with me", I gasped, the moment I felt like someone was choking my breaths.

"Are you ok tiger?" Arjun asked me when he saw my struggles for breath and I make a nod, "yeah I'm good", I took a deep breath and kept walking towards the corridor. I was so dunce to understand that my madness was breathing around me, that's why I felt uneasy because she was in pain.

If I had known at that time that they had kept my life captive, I swear I would have killed them brutally while tearing up their muscles and break every fucking bones of their body that touched her.

❀❀❀❀❀❀

I broke the glass of the back window and entered the place where they had kept the girl captive and my accomplice Arjun was attacking them from the front. My team had surrounded those terrorists from all sides and then my eyes fell on a girl who was with them at their gunpoint.

"Don't dare come near me officer", the man pointing the gun at her head asked with rage but his body language didn't blend with his attitude. Her body was trembling with fear and I could see that and that's made me more aggressive, "I will kill each one of you bastard", I sigh in anger, I don't know why I was so furious on those fuckers.

I mean aggression is my favorite form but while smelling her around me in danger it seems like I would definitely burn the whole world for her. My rage fumed like Volcano and I wanted to make the ashes of every motherfucker who hurt her.

"Leave her alone, I am warning you for the last time, otherwise I will rip your hand from your shoulders", anger dripping from my words. I could hear her fear-filled sobs but I couldn't see her but the sound of her sobbing made me agitated and my anger was boiled like hot water.

"Don't even try soldier or else I will shoot this girl straight on the head", how dare he threaten me but did I threaten? NO, I was still walking towards them and now I was 7 steps away from them.

No one has the courage to face the anger of Major Ranvijay Karmarkar, I wish you could see my eyes which were mercilessly filled with my anger but my masked hide it for you, don't worry I will surely show you my fury while breaking your fucking bones.

"That's enough", I sigh in anger while shooting and kicking him. He fired the bullets at me, but I managed to dodge. I had to save her as she was still sitting there like a statue; I quickly got down and rolled myself over to reach her. I instantly grabbed her wrist tightly and pulled her towards me with all my strength.

❀❀❀❀❀❀

When I abruptly pulled her towards me, she fell right on top of my chest; my hand was directly leaning on her waist. I rolled her body down in the blink of an eye and wrapped my 6-foot-long body around her while covering her entire body.

"Don't be scared", my left elbow was beneath her head while my fingers were closing her eyes as I didn't want her to see the bloodshed which would scare her and I started targeting them with my right hand.

She was afraid as she grinded her teeth and she clutched my uniform collar in her fist tightly, "hold on raaje, I would rescue you for sure, no one can touch you when I'm with you", I wanted to console her but I was still engaged in killing those terrorists.

I successfully fired bullets to rip out their hearts, but unfortunately one of them was aiming at her, as soon as I saw it, I tried to defend her but I had no bullets left in my rifle so I immediately covered her to save her and that bullet hit my shoulder. The pressure of the bullet thrust my body more closely to her; I wasn't feeling my pain, all I could feel was the closeness of her.

"Ahh", she sighed, my lips touched her earlobes, and I sighed in pain. She was in my embrace; it felt like I touched a delicate flower, which would surely get hurt if I gripped it tightly.

I protected her from the world and clutched her in my arms, my hand touching her thin waist and I could hear her groaning.

I could hear her restless heart rate, why was her heart beating fast? Was it the situation that was scaring her or was it my proximity that was making her restless? I sighed while thinking about this nonsense stuff.

Of course she was afraid but not of me or my proximity, whatever was happening to her was happening to me too as well because I felt an overwhelming surge of emotions, now this would be a problem.

"I don't want to die, please save me", she gasped while her words showed her fear. She was still holding my collar like she didn't want me to be away from her and her breaths was beginning to intertwine.

"I will never let anything happen to you", I said near her earlobes. My face kept touching her cheeks and my heart was beating insanely as I would surely die, this had never happened to me, then why was it happening today?

I couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions I had never experienced before. I was completely unaware of what the hell was happening surrounding me as I was so immersed in her.

I lifted my face towards her, "her eyes", I sigh in peace while gazing at her eyes. Her eyes were as deep as the ocean; her deep blue eyes captivated me, drawing me into their depths like a mesmerising ocean.

I can't express in words that this was the first time I had seen such beautiful eyes. It was as if I had been waiting for 29 years to look into these eyes, there was allure to her eyes which attracted me like a magnet towards her.

The restlessness and peace both emotions was electrifying my whole body at the same time. Our heartbeats were starting to get entangled in each other, I wanted to stop it as I'm on a mission but I was helpless with my feelings.

It was my first meeting with Kashish. Neither I nor she knew anything about it. For me, she was a college student and for her, I was a soldier who came to rescue her. I didn't know that Kashish would take the form of deepest love and passion in the future but if I had any idea that she would be my love, I would hold her in my arms tightly and never let her go away from me.

She was terrified by the incident, her eyes were constantly quivering and she was biting her lips in fear continuously which I could see as a rustle through her thin dupatta that she had wrapped around her face. But she couldn't see my face because I'm a Special Forces officer so my face was completely covered.

"Are you all right?", finally I uttered some words while turning my eyes away from her deep blue eyes, and she nodded her head but her whole body shivering in fear. I distanced myself away from her warm body and stood up. She tried to get up but she couldn't due to pain. She was badly injured and tried so hard to get up herself but she couldn't.

I extended my hand to her, "Try to get up", she looked at me with her terrified eyes. It seems like she was not sure that my hand would be gentle as the protector and it was because of those fuckers.

I made her believe that I will never hurt her, "come take my hand, I don't mean to hurt you", she sighed dropped her face and after few seconds she gazed at me and I understood that she believed me, she gently put her hand in my hand and I clutched her hand.

Why is her hand so soft, just like muslin, I was wearing gloves but still I could feel the softness of her hands. She was wearing my favourite colour dress and it's blue. Her earrings were chirping in blowing winds and the sound of her earrings seemed to me like a violin.

Her eyes were still fluttering with fear and body was trembling as she gripped my hand so tightly and my eyes were still gazing at her.

"Ranvijay, wake up why the hell are you staring at her like this", the instant reminder hit my mind and I needed that because I was so lost in her eyes.

"Ahh" she sighs in pain, hearing her sobs I leaned my head to the floor, her foot was injured. "Don't worry, medical team will be here soon, you just relaxed", concern dripping from words and she made a nod, after a while the medical team came.

"You have to come with us, let's go", the doctor started to take her away, but her hand was still caged in my fist. She needed medical attention, as soon as she took her steps to leave an unbearable pain tackled in my heart.

Today, for the first time while doing a mission, this was happening to me, at first I thought that maybe I had been hurt somewhere, so I was feeling pain but later I realized that I forgot to feel pain long ago.

"Don't leave me, hold on to me", my heart screamed, Perhaps my words could stop her and heal me. While unstable thoughts were running in my mind I didn't notice that I was still gripping her hand.

She turned her neck and some strands of her hair which were tied in a scarf had come off and were flying wildly in the air, "Let me go", she expressed through her eyes and I immediately unclenched my fist.

"Thank you", she expressed her gratitude in low throat for saving her life and walked out with the doctor. My empty hand was still in the air, "what you want Ranvijay, let her go", I sighed while closing my eyes.

As I witnessed her departure, her anklet unclenched from her foot and fell on the ground and she didn't even realize. I took a few steps towards the anklet and sat down and picked it up, "your anklet is as beautiful as you", I whispered while held it in my palm.

This is the first time I admire the ornaments of any girl. Her anklet was silver in colour like a fine thread and shone like a star, I could have given her anklet if I wanted, but I don't know why I have changed my mind.

"Being an army officer, it is quite shameful for me to steal someone's things but seems like she left it for me, so may I keep you?" A little no and big yes, so I kept it in my pocket.

I had selfishness behind keeping that anklet, that belonging of her body was giving me an untold comfort for which I perhaps always craved.

After 6 months

I was posted to Kashmir; I was again deployed for the rescue mission. After all, I'm a PARA SF soldier who is best at rescue and counter terrorism missions. Two terrorists made the hostages to our two soldiers and continuously threatened us and wanted us to react.This is the only battlefield where I could show my anger in every form, through my eyes, through my actions.

After crossing the loc there was a banker in which the hostages were kept. "What do you think, Tiger, how many people are there?" We were discussing it while sitting in a jeep which is about 1 km away from them.

TIGER my call sign. My call sign perfectly blended with my roaring personality and it was suited me very well. The whole army team said I could frighten every criminal and my physique could attract any girl except Kashish.

I was always wondering why the hell she didn't even attracted towards me but I never knew her true feelings, I'm dunce, like she said to me always, Ranvijay you never understood any feeling

"I thought there was no one", I replied in my usual cold tone, I was always annoyed. Arjun glanced at me while his grip on the steering wheel. He knows very well that I'm not a conversation type soldier, I'm an action packed man.

"Let's take the charge", he said while we both got down from the car at a distance and walked towards the banker. "Wolf, you cover the left, I'm covering the right", I gave the instructions to Arjun.

I knocked on the door, "Hey open, you guys wanted to talk to us, so here we are", I said but inside I had no intention of talking because I'm not good at conversations.

"But we didn't send any message", the man said from inside, I know they didn't send any message but as my superior commanded me not to use action first, so I followed his command.

After our warning they didn't open the door so as I said I'm short tempered and this situation made me furious, hence I broke the door and stepped inside."Hands up", they alerted while pointing their guns at me and Arjun.

They beated our soldiers and this is the point where my aggression was needed, "Get on your knees", they tried to dominate us but dude this is impossible. I started moving my body and having eye contact with Arjun He knows but we have to do it.

"Drop your weapons", they screamed while I slowly got down and his whole focus was on me, meanwhile Arjun took out his gun and shot him in the head and after witnessing this other man was afraid.

The man who stood to my left side tried to shoot me, but I kicked his hand. "Don't try to threaten us again, do you understand, bastard," I raised my aggressive voice while choking his neck between my arms.

"Let's take them, after all we are eager to find out about our neighbors plans", I said while Arjun detained them.

Arjun and I were minor injured while doing the mission but we were fine, "Jai Hind, tiger here, mission accomplished", I reported my seniors on earphones and went back to the barracks.

❀❀❀❀❀❀

We returned to base after the operation was finished, and again, the outcome was in our favor. Arjun stopped the jeep, and we got down from the jeep.

Now that I'm headed to headquarters, I really don't like paperwork; it sucks. For me, killing a terrorist is much easier than making a report of the operation, "Arjun, let's go", I said while sitting in the car and we left.

"We have started liking the valleys of Kashmir too much", Arjun chuckled while gripping the steering wheel. I was sitting relaxed next to him, watching the greenery of Kashmir.

"Yeah, you're right but some people spoil the beauty of this place", I muttered while turning my gaze to him. "Why can't you use a normal tone while having a conversation Ranvijay?" he said to me and his question made me sigh.

I didn't reply to him and my eyes got pinned to the green trees passing by, "Oh god, it's too hard to have a conversation with you", Arjun sitting beside me was speaking even though I didn't utter a word.

"That's why you're still single", Now he started cursing me. I always have a little bit of rudeness and aggression in my voice tone while having a conversation, as I don't know how to be polite.

"So you think I'm single because of my anger and rude behaviour?" I stretched my eyes in annoyance while asking him. I glanced at him angrily, "Of course and you forgot to add stubbornness to your list", he taunted me again. Is he actually my best friend because I have doubts?

While I was still struggling with his questions suddenly he braked the car, "Let's go Headquarter is right here", He chuckled and got down from the Jeep, as did I.

"Jai hind sir, every officer saluted both of us when I was walking towards my commander's cabin and I nodded after hearing every salute. We stepped inside his cabin, "jai hind sir",

"Jai hind officers", his smile said that he was proud of us. Lieutenant General Veer Pratap Singh was a composed and fearless officer in our battalion and I learnt many things from him.

"Sir, the operation was successful. We were able to rescue the hostages safely and took one terrorist into custody", I said while standing in an at ease position.

"Good job, soldiers," he thanked us while shaking hands, "And did you face any difficulties during the operation?" he asked. His voice tone has a little bit more aggression than mine.

"No, sir, we are perfectly fine", I said while he pulled his chair and stood up.

"Well done, soldier", he chuckled, "Now go back to your barracks and prepare your bags", He paused while me and Arjun slightly gave glances to each other, "Why are both of you exchanging unwanted glances with each other?" Damn, damn he caught us.

"Your holiday is going to start, so go home and enjoy boys", he chuckled and walked out from there. The home-going news brought a smile to Arjun's face, but this news made me sigh in annoyance.

I hate "HOME".

❀❀❀❀❀❀

One thing has to be believed that the Kashmir weather is as moody as the girl's tantrums. Cold winds blow more but there is less stagnation in the weather. It was around 4 in the morning and I was lying on the cool grass under the open sky outside the camp, feeling the serenity of the Kashmir valley.

Whole night I was staring at the sky, I was trying to sleep but seem like tonight again I don't get a peaceful sleep. "I don't want to go home", I sigh in annoyance. I can spend my whole life in deserts and Kashmir but when it comes to home I can't spent even a single day.

I was completely alone and there was no one in this world who can mitigate my loneliness except for one thing and that is anklet which I stolen from her 6 months ago.

I tugged my hand into my pocket and took it out the anklet, "it seems like you have to stay with me forever as your owner" I paused....."No, your beautiful owner abandoned you", I caressing anklet and I felt as I touched her smooth ankle.

"I wish I could see your face that day and asked you, what is so special about your anklet that gives immense peace to my heart whenever I hear its pleasant voice?" I had closed my eyes and kept the anklet close to my heart and put my hand on it.

Her anklet touch making me sigh, today once again my heart was beating insanely, so much so that I began to feel pain in my heart, "Ahh", I sighed in pleasurable torment.

Despite of pain, I don't know why I wasn't taking the anklet even an inch away from my heart. "I have never felt such restlessness for any girl before, then how could your anklet entangle me in it so much?"

The moment remind me the song "dil sambhal ja zara phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu"

"I have carried you in my arms every night since 6 months without knowing who you are, without thinking that you might belong to anyone", I looked at the anklet intently while clenching in my fist. If anyone witnesses me like this then they will think I'm mad for sure.

"You solace me, but you also drive me completely crazy", I sat up while bending my right knee. My right hand holding the anklet and other hand was touching the ground.

For first few days, I felt like I had anxiety, so I used to take anxiety medicine every day but later my surgeon confirmed that I don't have any anxiety. I don't need to take medicine every day; I never realized that,
you're my pain but you're the cure too.

"I have saved pretty much consultant fee", I smirked while holding the anklet. I placed the anklet closed to my lips and kissed it insanely, "it feels like my lips touches delicate rose petal", madness at my peak and I kissed her anklet again and again.

"Major Ranvijay, what are you doing, why you behave like this that you have no control over your emotions", thoughts making me sigh. "Why the madness flowing in me and for whom just for", I paused while gazing the anklet, "just for random anklet which is belongs to that random blue eye girl", I continued. It was scaring for me as my emotions getting heightened.

I stood up and started walking around bonfire, "I have to stop this", I whispered while holding her anklet in my fists and playing catch-catching with it. I have so many unbearable thoughts running in my mind and then suddenly the anklet slipped from my hand and fell into the bonfire.

I heartbeat skipped for the moments, "no...", I paused, sigh in addled. I felt as if my life was burning in that fire not that anklet, my eyes was widens to witness this.

I quickly sat down and without thinking I dragged my hand into the fire and started searching for it, "I will not let anything happen to you", I murmured, that search made me panic and restless. Even though my hand was burning but I cared less about my burning.

My eyes flickered in pain as she was burning because of me, "why the hell, it taking so much time", I sighed in frustration. After burning myself for few seconds I got the anklet. I took it out and immediately embrace to my heart, making me sigh in relief.

"Are you ok?", concern dripping from my words. My hand was burnt and was still burning because the anklet was hot but still I didn't let it go away from me. "I'm so sorry it took so long to save you," I whispered, gently caressing the anklet with love.

The moment was like I had saved my life, it was just a glimpse of my madness. Having this madness scared me, but living in this madness gave me immense comfort and I chose the second one.

"I will take care of you forever and i would gladly burn myself again and again just to protect you", i caressed her anklet.

"What are you doing Ranvijay"? Arjun came there and asked me and I was still lost in that anklet. Arjun saw that I was burning myself for her, "Nothing, the anklet had fallen into the bonfire, so I was saving her", I said in raw voice.

Her anklet was stealing my eyes and it's not a joke to steal my eyes. "Have you gone mad Ranvijay, you burnt yourself just for ordinary anklet", he rasped.

I paused my concern and heated up with his statement, "Ranvijay, I'm asking"...he paused when my furious red eyes immediately shifted to him and my glance enough for him to understand that I didn't liked his comment.

Arjun was concerned for me, "I mean why you burned yourself for this", his words making me sigh. But how can I explain to him that I was feeling immense comfort not agony.

"I don't know if the anklet is burning me or if I'm burning myself for it", I sigh rolling my eyes back to the anklet again. He was still wondering that how can i get this anklet, his expressions was saying loudly.
