Chapter 19
Vijay's POV
"What's the G-8 Summit?" Mithra asks.
"Its a group of eight countries, including India and Pakistan, which meet." I reply.
"What might he be planning there though?" Zubeida asks.
"Don't know, but it has to be bad." I answer.
Zubeida's phone rings, and she goes to answer it.
"Sir? Yes sir." She says. "Yes sir."
She presses a button on the phone, and the speaker turns on.
"Hello guys." Reddy sir's voice says through the phone.
"Hello sir." Mithra, Shaurya, and I chorus.
"We found out that the summit meeting is being held at a famous hotel in Karachi itself, just three days from now. They might be planning something there. We are in the process of contacting out undercover agent in-" he stops suddenly.
"Really! Ok. Thank you." we hear from his side.
"Guys, are you there?" he asks.
"Yes sir, we are here." I reply, being the head of the group.
"We just received information from out agent that Sohail is planning on sending out agents to the summit and having them equipped with bombs." Reddy sir says.
"What!" I exclaim, unable to believe it.
"Vijay, you need to be ready for immediate action with the team. Sending reinforcements is not possible. I will contact you guys when I receive coordinates of where our agents are being held. You need to get them out of there safely." he says.
"Yes sir!" I say.
"Good. I will inform you when I get the coordinates."
"Ok sir."
The call ends. I look at the other three.
"Guys, we need to be prepared for anything. We have to get there the moment we receive information." I say.
They all nod.
"Ok, go take rest. We can talk in the morning." I say.
We all go to our rooms.
I close my door and lie down on the bed, thinking, when the door opens.
"Vijay?" Mithra's voice whispers into the room.
"Mithra?" I ask.
She walks in and closes the door behind her. I stand up from the bed, and the light on.
"Mithra, what happened?" I ask her, worried.
She suddenly hugs me. I gently stroke her hair, trying to console her.
"Vijay, I love you." she says.
"I love you too Mithra." I reply.
She just hugs me, and we stay like that for some time, when I feel my shoulder getting wet. I pull Mithra away, and see her crying.
"Mithra? What happened?" I ask, worried.
"I always lose everyone close to me Vijay. I can't afford to lose you." she cries, looking down.
"Mithra, you won't lose me. I promise." I say, wiping her tears.
She looks up, into my eyes, and I stare into hers. I walk towards her, as she walks back. Her back hits the wall.
Mithra's POV
I look into Vijay's eyes, and feel butterflies in my stomach. He starts walking towards me, and I walk back. My back hits the wall. He places his hands on either side of me, caging me in his arms.
He looks at my lips, and moves closer to me. My breathing speeds up, and the butterflies in my stomach are raging. Our lips are a few inches away from each other. My eyes flutter closed automatically. Our lips meet, and his hand slides around my waist. After a while, we both pull away, out of breath. He looks into my eyes, and I feel a myself blush. I look down shyly.
He puts his hand on my chin, and makes me look into his eyes.
"Mithra-" he whispers.
"Hm..?" I whisper, already smiling and blushing at what he was probably going to say.
"I think we should sleep." he says.
The smile is wiped off my face and I glare at him. I push his hand off the wall, and begin to walk to the door.
Suddenly, strong arms wrap around my waist. I suck in a sharp breath, and close my eyes. Vijay nuzzles his face in my neck, making goosebumps rise on my arms.
"Mithra-" he says again.
This time, I don't reply.
"I love you." he whispers into my neck, pausing between each word to emphasize his point.
I gulp, and my knees feel week.
**The Next Day**
Vijay's POV
I wake up to the phone ringing. I lift the call.
"Vijay." Reddy sir's voice says.
"Sir. One second sir." I get out of bed, and rush outside. Running downstairs, I press the button in the main room to let everyone know to come.
A few moments later, the other three rush down the stairs.
"We are all here. Tell us sir." I say.
"Ok. Guys, we found that they are at the coordinates 125 and 211." he says.
"Yes sir." I say to him.
"Zubeida, put them into the map." I say to Zubeida.
She nods and gets to work.
"We will do today sir." I say to Reddy sir.
"Good Vijay. We cannot send any reinforcements. You are on your own." He says.
"Yes sir."
"Ok. Go." he says. "We will be watching your every move."
"Yes sir."
"Ok. Good luck."
The call ends.
"Go get your equipment." I say to the others.
Mithra and Shaurya walk to their rooms to get their stuff, but Zubeida stays back.
"Vijay?" she says.
"Hm?"
"Do you think Mithra's ready?"
I look up at her.
"I don't know. It scares me. I don't want to take her, but leaving her behind is not a choice we have." I reply. "I hope she is."
I hope she is...
