A heartfelt love between a soldier and the motherland.

Soldier's POV

I am covered beneath the sheet of blood which symbolizes my bravery and loyalty towards my motherland.

This the outcome of my pledge, I pledged that I will fight for my country's dignity,no matter how difficult my journey would be, I will stick to my words, I can even sacrifice myself for protecting my land. That's what I did.

All this started with mere three words,"Let me go", my last words to my friends.

When our rivals attacked us, we were prepared for answering them back in the most brutal way possible as our nation's security was questioned. Most of our soldiers died, I decided to face our opposition in my way. My friends tried to stop me but I could care less at that moment when our land was filled with blood and dead-bodies. We act smartly, we act bravely but many soldiers lost their lives and were used as a bait for quenching the thirst of opposition who were greedy for our blood. We fought till our last breath, we won the battle of field but it took away our breaths.

#Jaanedomujhe, my country needs me at this time. While pronouncing these words, my subconscious had  already delivered me some flashes of my end point.

Now, here I am,

Lying on this cold hard ground which is my mother's lap.

Cool breeze blowing around is acting as an elixir for healing my bruises.

My heartbeats are becoming shallow but my heart is jovial.

My soul is leaving me still I am at peace.

My bruised lips turned up slightly, enjoying our victory against the pollutants who wanted to pollute our land.

My breathing is slowing down its  pace.

I closed my eyes, remembering all the good moments of my life. My mother, who gave me birth, who embraced me when I needed her the most. My father, who taught me the art of life, my sister, who was my best friend. My wife, who was my support system, my son, who gave me innumerable memories.

I opened my eyes slightly after remembering my family cos I want to admire my motherland for one last time before drifting away into a  parallel universe.

Black clouds are masking the sky as if they are grieving over us, the cool air have increased it's pace, ground have become more cold. My motherland wants to embosom me within its strong clutches so that no one can hurt her child anymore.

All I wish at this moment is a drop of water, my throat is dry. I did
my best efforts in swallowing my tears but now I am not able to control the salty waterworks. I am crying but I am not going to loose my smile cos I won in the battle of life.

My last wish was fulfilled by mother nature as she gave me plenty of water in form of rain. I drank some water before closing my eyes.

"Let me go" I served my nation till my last breath now it's your turn.

Every story doesn't need number of  characters, sometimes the eternal yet silent bonds existing in this world construct an entire story.
