As the sun was marking its arrival in the horizon lazily the misty clouds covering up the ecstatic beauty of the queen of hills accepted it's defeat paving way to the sunrays . The pine trees were dripping drops of rain which was still prevailing from the previous night and a petite figure was tying it's hair in a high bun and wearing it's jacket in her room by the early morning .

One of her roommate Tessa opened her eyes with difficulty to find her friend checking her love her professional camera CANON EOS R3 and said " ennad ipove kelambitiya forestku ?paathu poitu vaa karadi kothu parotta potra podhu"

The girl smiled at her and secured her camera in her bag and turned towards her revealing her look. She have adorned her 5.6 ft height form in a olive v neck sweatshirt paired with  a grey colour cargo pant . She had topped the t shirt with a mustard colour denim Jack and her no makeup face complemented her top knot hairstyle .

She turned towards her and said " karadiku hi solla dhaan madam poren oru national geographyoda wildlife photography internah ipdi asingappadutha koodaadhu nee aanaalum "

Tessa was now completely awake and yawned replying " aama naangalaam destination wedding natural scenearynu eduthutu pona madam andha kaatukulla dhaa poi risk edupenu nikkureenga . Po po bathrama vaa " and left to complete her morning chores.

She was Ayra .... A photography final year student in ooty school of photography. She have been selected as an intern in National geography and her first task was to capture ecstatic variety of birds in ooty . She was all set to accomplish her first task and came out from her hostel to get into her cycle and left towards her journey towards jungle which is gonna unleash much more interesting pages of her life.

Conoor contonment camp ,

The military base was all busy in the early morning and the commotion they were having was unusually more than any other usual days . A military officer was pacing here and there in his cabin and he was waiting for something which was bothering him .

A soldier came  marching towards the officer and saluted the officer and said leuiftenent saxena reporting sir .

The major was looking at them expectantly and he said " all set sir para (sf ) forces safely landed in the target area sir . Target spotted sir "

Major looked at him and asked " what is the status ?"

The soldier replied " commandos are moving forward sir . major VIDHYUTH on lead"

Major smiled and walked towards the control room along with the soldier with confidence beaming in his face by hearing Vidhyuth's name . 

In mid of the pine forests the trees were standing high majestically not even letting the sunlight to peep in completely defeating the sun himself. A small hut with thatched roof was situated in the mid of the pine forest and the interior of the house was filled with computer and few other instruments while 4 men were doing something in it .

The soldiers were walking in camoflege suit carrying their very own INSAS rifle in their hand and a person who was not less than 6 ft was leading them . He was covering his face with paint and a black cloth and only thing that was visible was his eyes. those sharp piercing eyes looked towards his assistant commando and actioned towards him to take 4 soldiers towards the left at the back of the hut and instructed the others to get into the trees around them. He climbed into another tree and was watching the hut with his binoculars . He connected to his earpiece and said " ajay ..... target 4 "

Ajay " target zone clear sir. "

Vidhyuth looked at the positions of his soldiers satisfyingly and turned towards right to find few terrorists coming towards the hut with a trunk in their hand . He guessed it to be the weapon box and instrusted ajay " stay until my command " and  jumped down . Just then he noticed a girl moving towards the target zone with a camera in her hand . He looked at the position of the terrorists as well the girl and figured out that if she walks for another 100 metres she is gonna be held as captive and he didnt want that to happen. He wished to distract the terrorists and threw a stone on the opposite side which made them to look at that side and run towards the direction. Vidhyuth instructed " hold on ... innocent intrusion. don't fire until i instruct to fire "  and started running towards the girl and got himself into a hidespot which was a den like structure in a tree which is sufficiently big for a person to stand . 

Ayra was walking into the pine forest with her camera clicking the beautiful wildlife scenes which brings in satisfying smile to her as always . She went near a big tree and found a rare species of bird sitting up in the branch . She smiled to it and leaned on to the tree clicking the picture of the bird spreading its wings and the next moment she was pulled into the gap in the tree by two strong hands and even before she could react her mouth was shut and she was made to lean on to the tree surface . Ayra widened her eyes in shock and all she could sense was a hand that covered her mouth and a captivatingly sharp eyes which were piercing into hers . 

She looked at those eyes with the very little sunlight that protruded the tree and she could hear a calm base tone which said " be silent and stay "

Though Ayra's mind had so many questions running in her mind all she did was just nod her head. The person looked into her eyes for mere 5 seconds and said " take position ....... 1.... 2.... 3... and fire " with that he gradually lowered his hands and left out in a swift killing 2 terrorists in a go just in front of her eyes who were passing by. She took in his form in her eyes and closed her mouth to not let out a shriek looking at two people shot dead in front of her eyes. 

She closed her mouth and all she could hear was shooting sounds for the next 10 minutes and she could still feel the person ... his warm hands touch in her lips and those two magical pair of orbs piercing into her soul which made her involuntarily pray for him. 

Vidhyuth moved forward and lead his team. he shot the 4 terrorists who were carrying the weapon box and signalled his assistant commando to barge into the hut. The commandos barged into the hut and the terrorists were never expecting their entry. Vidhyuth joined the commandoes and went in through the window holding back the terrorist who was trying to activate the nuclear weapon they had out through the computer and pushed him to the ground while the other 3 were shot dead. The terrorist looked at him with smirk and ajay told " 7 targets shot sir ... yusuf is missing " 

Vidhyuth panicked a little as the mission is never complete until they find yusuf . He is much dangerous than anyone thinks and they don't even have any clue on why the most influential ISIS terrorist yusuf is here to nilgiris and now they have lost him . Vidhyuth mumbled "shit " and looked at the terrorist who said " dhundh nehi padtha hindustani ... ham jeethegi " and before he could swallow the cyanide vidhyuth shot his hand and captured him by his collar and punched him in his nose which made the terrorist bleed and he actioned his soldiers to take him out. 

Vidhyuth was tensed on what would be the next move of yusuf ad simultaneously ordered his teammates to check the hut completely and sieze all of the instruments they had . He also instructed them to get the terrorist into investigation zone of conoor contonment military base and get the weapon box carefully to the contonment . he looked at the window and found a deer peepin into the window and that's when he remembered the doe eyes which looked at him with panic written and he called his assistant " ajay " 

Ajay was looking over the soldiers and came in front of him asking " yes sir " and came out as he followed Vidhyuth .Vidhyuth walked towards the tree and pointed the tree in which he hid the girl and said " anga oru ponnu irukaanga . get her safely to her place "

Ajay looked at him and said " yes sir " 

Vidhyuth felt something unusual in his heart and called " Ajay "

Ajay turned towards him while he repeated " safeaa kondu poi vitru . report me once you are done dropping her "

Ajay was confused over Vidhyuth's act as he ususally instructs him only once and he never keeps on repeating the instruction and Ajay have got an earful from Vidhyuth for failing in following his instructions in one go . He nodded his head and went towards the tree . 

Ayra was cluctching her camera closer to her chest and she heard to a voice from outside " mam "

Ayra came out expecting to see the face of the person who saved her and she could figure out tht its not the same person by his eyes. Ajay " I am instructed to drop you off in your place shall we move mam ?"

Ayra looked around and asked " ennaachu ? is ... everyone safe?"

Ajay looked at her with intent eyes and asked, " where are you from " and moved front not answering her as it is confidential . Ayra searched around and felt someone looking at her intently from back while she turned her eyes back to find those electryfying orbs looking at her . she smiled at him and bid a bye to which his head involuntarily nodded . He was still in his camouflege suit and all she could remember was only his eyes while he took in every inch of her features in few seconds and came towards the tree where he hid her and looked down to find a broken camera lens . He took it and secured it in his pocket moving towards his vehicle reporting about the mission to his higher official.

In conoor contonnment ,

Vidhyuth and his higher official were looking at the terrorist who was sitting in the heat room under high heat still not willing to open his mouth about the whereabouts of yusuf . 

Higher official " yusuf.. is very dangerous and the way we don't  get any information about his whereabouts is concerning me a lot . which place would he wanna blast ? "

Vidhyuth looked at the report which his subordinate brought him and the terrorist and said " we have figured it out sir "

The higher official turned towards him and asked " what is that ?"

Vidhyuth said " ooty college of photography and design .... heart of nilgiris "

Higher official turned with horror and said " you mean the college with 2000 students?"

Vidhyuth nodded his head while Ayra stepped into her college from the military vehicle . The board read " ooty college of photography and design " .....
