NO. 1 PRIORITY
Never had he felt so helpless.
So... devastated.
He had barely registered Sanju's attempts to engage him in a conversation before Sid and Faizi convinced her to leave him alone. Little did they know, being alone was the last thing he wished for.
All he wanted was his Monami.
If you ask Special Agent Karan Shergill to explain how had he spent the last 40 hours, he would say "I have no recollection".
Everything was just a blur after he was informed that Monami's commanding officer had lost contact with her. He knew what it meant.
She was in trouble. Alone in the enemy's territory.
He was desperately trying to convince their seniors to let him go and extract her out of the situation but the idiot wouldn't budge only for Monami to stumbled into the command center three hours later.
Drenched in blood.
A gun-shot-wound to her shoulder. He heard the doctors whispering that she was too late, lost too much blood and probably had a collapsed lung.
When the surgery began, all he could think was "Don't take her away from me, please."
Two hours into the surgery, he was thinking about all the things he wanted to fix between them. He sat there, recalling all the complaints she had.
His busy schedule.
His frequent absence.
His responsibility as her boyfriend.
"I understand that you are a commando Karan, but so am I. Lekin kabhi toh humare relationship ke liye time nikalo! Desh ki raksha hum dono karte hai, par humare rishte mei effort sirf mai kar rahi hu. Har wakt na sahi but ek-aad baar toh mujhe apni priority bana sakte ho na?"
Her last words before they left for their respective duties kept rang in his head.
Ek baar thik ho jao, Monami. I promise, I will make fix everything between us. Tumhari narazgi manzoor hai, lekin tumse dur rehna nahi.
Exhaustion took over and sleep took over where all he could see was her.
The first time she said 'I Love You', the first time they danced, the first time he felt something different for her, the first time she introduced him to her father as 'my boyfriend', the first time she came to his house, the first time they kissed under to starry sky, the first time they made love.
The long phone calls and then her disappointed face after the training got over and they started spending less, less and lesser time together.
He was jerked back to consciousness when someone shook him awake.
His heart squeezed painfully on seeing the doctor and surgeon hovering over him. She was alright, right?
"Mr. Shergill, the operation was a success. We were wrong, her lung wasn't punctured and most of the blood wasn't even hers. Your colleague is being wheeled to her recovery room, should be awake in a few hours."
His eyes started to water, and he managed to croak a thank you for him.
"She has a broken rib and sprained wrist along with some other minor injuries but she will be fit for duty in no time. I heard, her opponents didn't stand a chance. She is a brave woman, Sir."
"She is." He whispered through his tears as the doctor walked away.
A nurse asked him to follow to his Monami's room when his sight caught Sid, Sanju and Faizi approaching them along with a few other officers.
He stood outside her room, waiting for her to wake up. His hand slowly slipped inside his pocket and fisted around a circular object. The could feel the solitaire digging into his palm.
I am sorry you felt neglected, Monami. But you are it for me, you are my number 1 priority, Rani Sahiba. I am sorry I made you feel otherwise.
It takes a strong woman to love
a military man....

THE END.
Life is tough for military wives. I spent 10 years in a military campus and I saw my classmates miss their fathers. A salute to every soldier and his family who sacrifice those little joys for our country. I don't know how it really works for these families, but this my work of fiction to show MoRan's struggle as a couple. I hope you like it. Leave some comments and likes please.
P.S. I am open to criticism.
And I stole the cap from twitter so I am not claiming the editing credit.
Also, I am new to ZDMN forum, HELLO EVERYONE! 😃
