Go away Minu. I am fine now. I don't need these shots. She replied rudely and bluntly.

He walked towards her and stopped at a certain distance.

Hani api just for me, take it. I promise this is the last one. Minhaaj tried to persuade her.

She faces him with teary eyes.

Why are you keeping me alive Minu? Why?

She lightly punched his shoulder.

"These shots can't bring back my dead soul. Just leave me alone like Dad did, like mom did, like everyone did. Let me die peacefully and soon. Go back to your life and just forget that you have a sister named Hania. Why can't you be cruel like others? Why?"

Hania pushed him away and fell on the ground on her knees. She put her hands over her face and started sobbing.

Minhaaj came near her and hugged her tightly. His tears were ready to come out of his border line but he was holding them strongly.

Hani Api please never talk about dying. Always remember that the day you die, I will die the next day. Minhaaj is nothing without Hania. Your Minu will never leave. I had swear on my dead parents.

They shed tears together thinking the pain will go, but it stays the same.

When there was no tear left to cry, Minhaaj helped Hania to stand up and took her towards her bed.

Minhaaj called the nurse and told her to give the last shot.

"If you touch her one more time, you will be fired." The nurse knew what he meant. He was just assuring Hania with words.

Okay Sir. The nurse replied with a smile.

The nurse injected the shot and went back to the reception.

Minhaaj sat near Hania and embraced her hand with love.

Hania looked towards him with her dull and dry eyes. Like there is no hope left in them.

Minu why can't you go back to your life? Marry someone and have a beautiful life with them. I am already dead in the world eyes. People think that Hania Sikander died in that road accident. So why can't you do that too? Why don't you listen to me?
Hania said it after a long silence.

She always told Minhaaj to leave her and that she would escape from here without letting him know, but Minhaaj always became stubborn and threatened her that he would jump off from this building if she ever left him alone.

After everything happened to Hania, Minhaaj was the last thing she could not afford to lose.

"I have good news for you Hani api. Dadi jaan is alright now. I took her to our new house." Minhaaj ignored what she just said and was searching her expressions which changed suddenly on hearing Dadi jaan's name.

Did you know that she was asking-

Without letting him finish, she turned her face to the other side and said:
"Don't ever talk about her Minu otherwise I will tell my doctor not to allow any visitor."

She gave him a warning but he knew that she wanted to hear about Dadi jaan. But because of some misunderstandings the relationship between them becomes like this.

"Okay! I won't speak about others. Aren't you curious how my first day at university went?" Minhaaj waited for her answer but she didn't reply so he continued.

"I know that you are curious, so guess what? Mah Laaj is my uni mate "Again". Can you imagine she is still not over his first best friend thing. I told her to stop stalking me, but I guess my warning was not much threatening. And do you know what is the best thing that happened today? I was so close to getting pranked by our seniors, but in the end Mah Laaj got all wet. That Khan girl really taught those seniors a great lesson. Although I don't like that guy Aftab Bhukari, but it was still so fun to watch Mah Laaj beating up those idiots." Minhaaj chuckled and looked towards Hania which was listening all this emotionlessly.

Minhaaj was going to continue his talk when something vibrated in his pants pocket.

Hania gaze went towards it while Minhaaj read the message and looked towards Hania with concern.

Go! Our country is more important than this useless conversation. Hania turned her face towards the window after saying it.

He nodded with a smile and went out in haste.
______________

SPECIAL FORCE OF PAKISTAN HEAD QUARTER:

Reporting my arrival to Commander-in-chief Ahad Raza Mir, sir. Minhaaj saluted after entering the office.

Stop being formal black dog. Come, have a seat and report me about the case. The chief said in haste.

Yes sir! Minhaaj put his hands behind his back and stood there straight after saying that.

You can be at ease black dog.

"Okay sir! I have been watching all the drug suppliers and dealers with my team for last 6 months and one thing they have in common is their headquarter. That is LUMS university abondone building. I have met my informer today and he told me that the new supply will be given to him on 10th December at 12 AM in their headquarter. We have 1 week to capture them. Everything is planned and I am sure that this case will be finished soon, sir."

Later, Minhaaj told chief his plan how they would execute it.

Good! I think now I can stay at ease. You are one of my best agent, so your safety comes first. Got it. And after this mission, your team will get a 1 month vacation.

The chief patted his shoulder and left the room.

Minhaaj saluted him back and took all the papers from the table in his hands and went to his room.

Minhaaj changed his clothes and slipped into camo pants and black shirt which was complimenting his body.

He opened his walkie talkie and pressed channel 7.

"Black storks! The target is approaching." Minhaaj said this in the walkie talkie and within 5 minutes every member of his team was standing in front of him in a straight line.

Salute to black storks head, lieutenant Minhaaj Sikander. Everyone said loudly and saluted him.

At ease everyone. Minhaaj was smiling while saying it.

Everyone sat at their respective seats when Saad spreaded the map of their plan.

"There are total four windows, one main door and one back door where they could escape from. Me and Izza will guard the gate 1. Umar and Ali will guard the gate 2. And of course, Minhaaj sir and Arzu will be guarding the four windows as they are all connected." Saad told them the plan excitedly and every gaze went towards Minhaaj while suppressing their laughter.

Minhaaj shook his head in denial.

You are the new member, right.

Yes Sir! He said proudly.

Tell me that person's name who gave you the order to put my team life on stake. Because that person won't be participating in this mission so as you.

Minhaaj asserted with a straight face and started cleaning the white board behind him.

Saad looked towards Ali anxiously while he was telling him not to say his name with his face expressions.

It was Ali Sir. He mumbled to himself.

WHO WAS THAT PERSON SAAD? This time Minhaaj asserted in a loud thunder voice which scared him a lot. As this was Saad's first mission after all the difficult training and he didn't want the reltionship to get bad between his team mates so he took the blame on himself.

S-Sir, I did it on my own. No one ordered me. Saad spewed out while stuttering.

He was scared by Minhaaj, so he lowered his head while biting his lower lip.

The hand which was cleaning the board stopped. Minhaaj swiveled around and gave a wink to Ali.

Minhaaj walked towards Saad, which was trembling inside but sweating from outside. He put his hand over Saad's shoulder and went near to his ear.

They are just joking with you and so do I. Lesson no 1: Stop fearing otherwise you won't be able to stay in this field for long. He whispered in Saad's ear and those who were repressing their laughter burst out.

Saad was confused and stunned by what just happened with him. And Minhaaj just patted his shoulder with an enticing smile.

Welcome to the group Saad. Ali shouted and gave him a manly hug.

By the way, I am still sticking to that point that your plan is not good at all. I can pin point many loopholes in it. First, you don't have plan B if something goes wrong, do you? Minhaaj cocked his brows while asking.

Saad shook his head up and down in agreement.

"We don't know how many people would be guarding that place when the drug exchange happen. And there is another door that you don't know about. It's inside the cabinet. They will be extra cautious this time as our last plan was ruined by our informer. They might have some shooters on other buildings too. So standing in the windows will be dangerous. And about informer, they can easily be bribed. They might be playing dumb to catch us. And all this might be a trap for all of us. So don't even trust outsider when you are on a mission. Always be ready with plan B and C."

Minhaaj uncapped the marker and drew the whole map of that building on the white board. He encircled some areas on that map.

"Me and Saad will mix up with their people. Arzu and Izza will be standing at the back gate behind the trees. Umar and Ali will be standing on the secret path. And let me tell y'all one thing, DO NOT come out of your cover if anyone gets caught from our team. That person can rescue themselves. Don't put everyone else life at risk. We have trained to save ourselves. Do you all get it?" Minhaaj asked after explaining the whole plan and everyone nodded in agreement.

Me and Saad will be staying together as he is a new baby and we will be planting cameras in that building on Thursday after my university hours.

Minhaaj said it and Saad was shocked by this.

You are still in university! More than asking it was a question by Saad.

Ali put his hand over Saad's neck and pinched his cheeks.

"He might be younger than all of us, but he is smarter than you think'. Ali winked towards him but Saad was still confused.

Umar, who was sitting in the corner and indulged in his laptop suddenly spoke up.

Minhaaj Sikander, 22 years old from Lahore. He joined military when he was 18 years old. Completed his military training in 6 months while other complete is 5 years. Passed all the Physical Fitness assessment 40 push-ups, 40 sit-ups and 15 pull-ups in 1 minute 15 seconds when others did in 2 minutes 30 seconds. He ran 2.3 kilometers in 6:00 minutes. He has 20/20 or corrected to 20/20 in both near and distant vision in both eyes.
And he can swim 30 meters in full service uniform with weapons, the standard rifle, Koch G3A3. He has participated in 49 missions and all were successful.

Umar put across all the information about Minhaaj in one go and looked towards Saad who's jaw was touching the ground.

Ali closed his jaw with his finger.

Enough about me and start packing your things. We have many things to do, but first write a letter for your family.

Minhaaj gave all of them white paper and left the room.

Saad was still processing the information he just got now. Everyone wrote the letter and put it in the mail box which was planted on the balcony.

Minhaaj came inside with KFC buckets in his hands with 1 coke bottle.

Everyone shouted in excitement while Saad was confused looking at those weird team members of him.

One month vacations. Ali jumped upon Saad.

Enough guys and just dig in. Minhaaj passed them the buckets and walked towards sofa.

He sat down and told Saad that these are the code words which Umar come up with for their team.

KFC bucket with one bottle means one month vacation and if there is only the chicken bucket then that means no vacation.

This time Saad jumped on Ali in excitement. The room filled laughter

No one knows what will be the future but they were just enjoying the moment they were living in.
