Continued...The house seem to be full by the noise of the television.
The girl went near to her father and said “ papa”,see whom I have brought our
home”. Father was a bit nervous and wordless but after seeing Major Pratap entering the room he was shocked. He instantly
get up from his seat and saluted Major Pratap. Major Pratap saluted him. Father
asked him to sit down. He lowered the volume of the television and started to
talk. “I am happy to see such a national figure. My house has become sacred by
your foot steps” father told.”Would you like to have some hard drinks i.e ber ,
whiskey, rum ,champagne etc.”Father asked.”A glass of whiskey please”Pratap
replied . “ Daughter please bring two bottles of whiskey, two glasses, ice
cubes and please fry meat for us. Do it fast ok” Father told.
”I have seen in television about you. You are really a great
soldier. I have known about your contribution in the army, contribution for maintaining
peace in such a foreign country. You are really a mastermind, such work, such
planning and in such hard situation a normal person could really do nothing but
a shit . I admire the way you handled such a worse situation. I wonder why you
were not winner of Gorkha Nepal Award? Because your work is of real army and
the work done by the Major Jhanka is like a politician rather than the rea soldier.”Father told. Girl came with whiskey,
icecubes and two plates of meat. Both of them started to take sip of whiskey
and tear meat apart too.
“ Thanks for your appreciation. But you see the need of the
world is peace. Major Jhanka is really great. He is my copartner during the
recruitment too. He was different person. He was quite different person. He was
quite different from others. What we learn in the training is to substitute our
heart with stone but what he had done he just leave it normal. Before he left
to his mission I have met him at the airport because it ws the same day I was
also going to the mission. We were going to the mission. We were going to
different place but our aim was same. We
wanted to get victory. I had told him that I will succeed at any cost. He told
me that last night before leaving to the mission he saw a wonderful dream. In his
dream he was in the war. The both sides shooted their guns but what happened is
instead of bullets several types of colourful flowers were emerging out of the gun.
Their knife too turned into wooden and their bomb spray colours to the people
instead of killing them. Then the both sides of the people started to enjoy in
such a beautiful environment . He told me that he was very impressed by his dream
and he told me that he wished that his dream may come true in his new mission. I
didn’t got chance to talk to him frequently but we shared emails. He was busy
in coordinating with local people as well as terrorists . he was able to change
the psychology of the supremo(main leader) of the terrorist
and with his effort peacew talk was organized between the rebels and the
government side and the whole wrong activities was brought to end. I killed
several people even if they were terrorist but he didn’t. I have destroyed
several villages but he has not touched any. There was violence in both places
but in his place people people had more hope because there was no fierce war.
Due to war supplementary problems like robbery, kidnapping etc was
automatically more in my place in contrast to his place. So his way was better and being abide by rules is not important but
getting more benefit by breaking the
rule is more important. Any way it has been more talk. It’s quite late and I need
to leave now and thanks for your whiskey” Pratap said. “ its my pleasure. I enjoyed
your company too much. Please come to our house whenever you get leasure. I
want to talk more with you” Father said. “ok
I will surely come.”Pratap replied. Then he started the engine and drove
away.
