Ritwik's eyes filled with tears, as if he'd met someone close after years. This feeling he'd been missing for so long. Today, he was experiencing every feeling intimately.
On the stage, a light stopped in the center. After a moment, a figure walked into the light, holding a microphone. It was none other than Aaradhya. Holding the microphone tightly, Aaradhya said, "Long time, no see."
Ritwik ran to Aaradhya and hugged her. Now, Ritwik had no idea where he was, or who he was surrounded by.
If he could see anyone, it was only Aaradhya. Aaradhya hugged Ritwik tightly. When they separated after a while, they both regained their senses.
Ritwik's cheeks were completely red. Then, one by one, everyone else met Aaradhya, the wedding that had previously lacked any excitement.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle there. After this, Aaradhya was made to sit on a chair. After a while, after everyone had met, they wanted to know what had happened there.
Because they had only received news of Aaradhya's death. So, was that news false? Aaradhya sensed the worry and questions on everyone's faces.
Then Aaradhya said, "That news wasn't false. My friends also thought I was dead. Because the explosion was so powerful that there was no hope of anyone being alive."
Now, hearing Aaradhya's words, everyone's curiosity increased. If that was true, then who was this person sitting in front of them? Thinking this, Reet touched Aaradhya's shoulder with one of her fingers.
She wanted to confirm whether it was a human being sitting in front of her or someone else. Aaradhya then told her, "Before the blast, one of my comrades was injured, so I gave him some of my belongings, like a jacket and shoes, so he could safely reach our base.
Before we could reach the base, the enemy attacked us. As we were fighting, a bomb landed in front of me. At that moment, I thought this was the end of me, but my injured comrade came forward and saved my life by pushing me out of the way.
I fell into a nearby river. So, when the rescue team arrived later, they assumed from my clothes and shoes that I had also been martyred.
I don't know how many days I was unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, I was in an unknown place. I looked around and saw that one of my comrades was there with me.
Then I heard some footsteps, so I pretended to be unconscious again. Just then, some people entered the room. I Opening my eyes slightly, I saw that they were wearing army uniforms.
But there was no tricolor on them. The moment I saw them, I understood what had happened. My companion and I had been swept away by the river's strong current and ended up in enemy territory.
Our uniforms had been torn by the rocks and the river's strong current. That's why they couldn't recognize us and were treating us. So that when they regained consciousness, they would know who we were.
One thing was certain: if they had known who we were, who knows what they would have done. I was still thinking about all this when my companion was slowly regaining consciousness.
Before I could signal him, the enemies had spotted him. As soon as that companion saw the national flag instead of the tricolor on the enemy's uniforms, he became furious.
And started abusing them. They understood who we were, but they didn't know our names. Then one of the soldiers, I went to call my superior.
After a while, he brought his superior, and the man talked about presenting us in their court. He was also using very bad words for us and our country.
My friend and I couldn't tolerate this and started fighting with them. After the fight, they ordered us to be kept in a high-tech jail, but we were initially kept there until we recovered.
They tried to extract some intelligence from us through love, and then, when love didn't work, through threats. But neither I nor my friend Azad were willing to tell them anything.
Then they decided to send us to another place in the same condition. While they were taking us in their jeep, Azad and I unlocked our handcuffs and attacked them.
The attack knocked their jeep out of balance. Seeing the situation, we jumped out. Now we had to somehow escape and reach our country's border.
Both of us were injured and were about to reach the border, but the enemy had surrounded us there. His voice was very bad. So he said, "Ma'am! I don't know whether I will be able to reach my country in this condition or not. So I will divert their attention and you enter the country's border."
After listening to him, I told him, "We both will go." After this, I took advantage of the gap in their duty and supported Azad and brought him to the border.
Both of us were in very bad condition. We were still a short distance from the border when we lost all our blood. At that moment, I thought I might not be able to go back or meet you all.
And my eyes started to close. I could still hear everything. After a while, I heard the sounds of a scuffle. I gathered courage and opened my eyes. I saw some soldiers from our country standing in front of me. Among them was a man who had his face covered, but looking at him, it seemed he was also a soldier.
After this, I fainted. Luckily, the place where we fainted was neutral territory, so this war did not become a war between two countries. When we regained consciousness, we were in an Indian Army camp.
That man was standing there too. When he saw we were safe, he left. After that, as soon as I recovered, I came here. And now I am in front of you."
Everyone was very happy to hear Aaradhya's words, but they were also eager to know about the person who saved Aaradhya and Azad.
When Aaradhya was asked about this again, she simply said, "He was probably part of some intelligence agency that only takes on the most difficult tasks. That's why we don't know anything about him."
