TRIAL-END OF AN ERA

Chapter-33

Alok clutched her clothes tightly in his hand and repeated his words in a bleak voice 'no one escaped..no one.. escaped..' He slowly raised his head, his eyes swollen red, filled with tears and his lips shivering; clinched her "Di.. no one escaped.." He burst into tears. "Father.. mother.. no one esc..." he couldn't speak any more. The man who treated him came forward with a bowl of medicine. Amanya took it and fed him after which Alok slowly felt unconscious and slept back. Amanya looked at the doctor for an explanation.

"Commander, I added some sleeping pills in the medicine as I felt this boy was not in a state of accepting the present. Its a great blow for him that is beyond his control." She nodded at him and gestured them to leave. They bowed and went out. She gently covered him with blanket and caressed his cheeks affectionately.

She took a deep breath and went to the next room where they were waiting for her. They bowed in respect "Give me an explanation." She was furious as if her eyes emitted fire.

"Commander, by now the only thing we can be sure is that its manmade."

"Of course. A fire that burned an entire village into ashes and didn't decrease even in that downpour cannot be a natural one, even a child can say that.

Deva, as cobra's sub captain what I need is not these irrelevant f**** things."

"Commander, we have sent our spies across Amai. By evening we will open the loop."

"Deva, if it was manmade, why cobra was not at all aware of it?"

"Commander, its that general Dhruva ordered us to investigate about an illegal weapon fabrication and.. and you also asked not to bother and disturb you. So.. captain arranged two close guards beside you."

"F****; She took a deep sigh, OK Tomorrow morning I need a complete report on today's incident." She slowly cooled down " Deva, inform your Captain to meet me within two days."

She went to her room and dressed her wounds, changed and slowly concentrated on her mind trying to bring it back from the messed state to calmness. After almost two hours she came back with a stable mind and waited for Alok. By evening Alok slowly regained his senses, now he stood in a lost way and looked for his di. He came out from the room and found it was a big mansion but built underground as he could see no windows, unaware of night and light and walked all the way searching for her. He saw his di in a black robe sitting in a big chair and many other men standing beside her. He came forward and those men paved way for him. Alok is now standing in a more composed form maybe he slowly started to accept the reality. He was confused as he noticed his di has changed. He felt her cuteness faded and maturity prevailed in face. She came forward and held his hand firmly took him to a table and all those men followed them. Many foods was served. "Di.. you??"

"Don't think about all these. What you have to know is from today you have me. Your sister."

All the men present suddenly kneeled and bowed "Commander.."

"Commander??"
