Chapter 2
The darkness of the night was dazzled by the rise of the sun. Sunlight licked the clouds and started to touch the ground, providing warmth in the chilly region; Nature begins its routine again, but his day started before the arrival of sunlight. He woke up early sharp at 4 a.m. and goes to his workout. After finishing the daily work related to the duties, appeared in bed only once a time that at 1 a.m.; taking three-hour rest and awake on another day or say that still the same day; It was like his day and night only in the name of his duty.
He came back to his Army quarter after finishing his morning jogging; way straight to his restroom to get a shower as he got wet into his sweat; freshen up and went toward a small but neat and clean kitchen to prepare breakfast. He is strict in his diet and takes only healthy food. He eats a diet, rich in raw or steamed vegetables, green leafy romaine, and fruits with skin. After he's done with breakfast; wash all utensils, put them in a right place, cleaned up the mess on the kitchen desk, finished all the chores and goes to his room to change his casual cloth with uniform, and started getting ready when something clicks in his mind about the bus hijack incident, since one week has passed to it, but his subconscious mind alert him as the planned of terrorist to released their? Black Terror (BT) group leader from the Army custody was failed they will not sit quietly and will do something! Something very dangerous and deadly! But What?
His deep thought is disturbed by a sudden phone ring, he took his cell phone, saw the recognizable number, his eyebrows get slightly raised, a little tension spread on his face, as what he accepted maybe it came true…..
He took a deep breath and received the call….
?“Very Good Morning, Commander Rathod ”, he responds to the call in a husky and respectful tone.
“Good Morning Captain Virat” a very deep and powerful voice came from the other side.“Captain Virat, meet me within 20 minutes in my cabin” a voice from the other side gives a command to Virat.
“Yes, Commander” with answering the command he cut the call, as he was aware that what is the matter for which Commander ordered to meet him, maybe they got some details about Black Terror Group.
He took out his rifle from the drawer, take his transceiver and keys of Willy’s jeep, comes out from quarter, sat in Willy’s jeep start with gas on, lifted the clutch to move the vehicle, straight his way to Army Headquarters (Army office).

Army Headquarters (Army office), Commander Rathod Cabin
In a meeting on a round table, Commander Rathod with a worried expression seated on a chair at one side, as tension spread over his face, glanced at Captain Virat on another side.
Commander Rathod: “I knew it's difficult, But I trust only on you for this mission, I completely believed in your courage, determination, and ability……Captain Virat…...”
Captain Virat: “But Commander Rathod……” as he trying to say, his words were cut by Commander Rathod
Commander Rathod: “No any but, Virat…….., you have to do it……”
Captain Virat: “Commander, when we had this confirmed information, Why can’t we cancel or closed this fair?.......”
Commander Rathod: “it's not possible now Virat………. I already had a conversation about it with the Ministry office but they denied it…….. they are already under public pressure…. As thousands of people have already been there and thousands more are on their way, the crowd has already gathered in the fair, now if the fair got cancelled or closed, the crowd will definitely ask the reason…… if we give any inappropriate reason, the public will not consider…….. We can’t spread the fear in the crowd by telling the truth it will result in a stampede. The Fair will open from this evening itself; you have to go there immediately….”
?Hearing this, Virat stood from his chair, keeping his both legs straight without locking the knees, his body upright with hips level, chest lifted, back arched and shoulders squares, his both arms hand straight down alongside the body without stiffness and his wrist is straight with the forearms. “Yes, Commander, We do it…..,” said in a husky tone, in the position of attention.
As he comes out of Commander Rathod's cabin and is just about to leave the Army office, a breathy voice calling his name was heard from the back, he turned back towards the corridor to see the person.
“Hi, Virat…….. How are you?”, a beautiful attractive woman in her middle twenty asked him in a seductive tone.
“I am fine Dr Seth” he answers fast, straight, and in a formal tone.
“O, come on Virat….. How many times did I tell you? call me Maya” she said in a tempting tone while alluring him, getting close to him holding his left arm in her right hand and?trying to roll her left-hand fingers on his broad chest; seeing her action he took out his right arm from her hold, step back and maintain distance between them.
Maya notices the action of Virat, who trying to make space for her.
“OOO……Virat, you don’t answer me about our date……When we go on it..?”, by a little chuckled she asked him.
“Dr Seth…for me you are only an army doctor and a first lieutenant officer; I respect you and your services to the army………... Please …….. This kind of behaviour does not suit you……. and about a date, I already told you there is only one relationship that exists between us and that is profession……… you are a colleague to me like others………. So please…….”, he said in a hard and little harsh but formal tone, “Now excuse me…….. I have some urgent work.” Saying it, he took a leave from her.
Maya gets frustrated by Virat's cold behaviour toward her, she holds a tight fist and looked in the direction of Virat, who walked from her showing his back, just leaving her; it made her blood boil and her eyes red, it always happened with her whenever she tried to come closer to him, he always back off. But she decided by hook or by cook one day she makes him hers, only hers. “Very soon you will be mine, Captain Virat…only mine”, with an evil smirk, she said in her subconscious mind.
On the flatter roads, the way to the mission at location name Sundernagar, a very beautiful place surrounded by icy hilly region, R-5 team ride in the jeep, Model- jeep compass. Rehan driving the jeep, Virat in the front passenger seat while the rest others Pratik, Peter, and Rahul on the back seat; they are on an undercover mission, instead of the uniform they all wear casual clothes so that they easily get equally mixed in the crowd and no one doubt on them. Virat explained to them the plan. Once every three years, a huge fair is organized in Sundarnagar, in which thousands of people come to visit. It is not just a simple fair, but a festival lasting two days. According to an intelligence report, the Black Terror Group has planned to wreak havoc at this fair. After reaching the fair, the R-5 team got down from the jeep; as the fair is very huge, there are four main gates to entry from four different directions, R-5 team decided to spread individually in four different directions for investigation and keep an eye on everything. Pratik at the North site, Aslam at the East, Peter at the West, Rahul at the South in a control room where all the security cameras screen was available, while Virat decides to go toward the centre of the fair. R-5 teams set off to their respective locations.
Virat was on track to look at the entire place of central location of the fair; he was observing closely and carefully everything, every activity, and everyone who can be suspected. Walking a while, out of the blue someone bumped into him. When he perceived down, he saw a girl with a yellow long skirt and a white fork-type blouse on top. While bumping, she lost her balance, fall to the ground as her back touched the ground, and lay on the floor in front of him.
Virat glance fell on her?feet, her yellow colour skirt was slightly elevated up to the bottom of her knees, as her milky white skin legs were bare to his eyes. Unknowingly his eyes lift, looking upward to her hips curve and then to her slender waist and then her perfect bosom, she had a magnificent figure which was a desire of every man. Reluctantly, his orbs passed above her bosom to her swan-like long neck then to her face, which was covered by a scarf from her nose to chin, her long black hair length up to her waist was opened, her magnetic black colour eyes which have deepness like lough.
But now, due to pain her eyes filled with rage towards Virat, because of his hard jerk, she fell to the ground with very harsh force, and some small pointy stones sting her body.
However for Virat, it seems like the whole time freeze and his surrounding has standstill, there is no one but only him and the girl on which his eyes get locked; his lips move slightly upward to form an absolutely amazing smile on his face, his heartbeat started accelerating, he felt a strange and foreign feeling ongoing to build up in him; continuously his gaze focus at her like his orbs never saw such a beautiful vision. He bent down on his knee; raise his hands toward her for help to lift her.
The girl's expression changed from anger to confusion, seeing his gesture of help, she relented and tried to take her hand up to hold his support. Virat is still in the same state where this unknown feeling rushed in his heart, the girl is about to touch his hand when a loud bang sound is heard which diverts Virat's attention.
??? ?And Boom…..
