MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Chapter 27

ANURAG'S POV

This it it. My last day at home before I leave for my work. Last days are always difficult. It makes me realise how much I am going to miss my family. And now one more member is added in the family. My love. The woman who has stolen my heart.
Shruti.

Before Shruti, I didn't know I could ever love someone so much apart from my family and friends. But now I love her so much that it hurts to leave her here and go so far away.

The worst part is I don't even know whether I will be able to see her again. This thought is always there in a soldier's mind. Death for us is a seconds game. No warning nothing.

The best part is we live and we die for our country. The feeling to protect our country and its people is something else. And when we chose this profession as our career, our families mentally have made their minds tough.

I am waiting for at her parking below her apartment. The worst part is she can't come to drop me at the camp because she has a meeting with PM tonight, for which she has to leave in few hours.

Just then I heard a sound of anklets. Without any thoughts I knew Shruti was standing behind me. Because I was the one who gave her this anklet after our engagement.

I turned around, smile on my face but to see a teary eyed face of Shruti.

"Shruti!!!" I cupped her face with my hands.

She didn't say anything but she tightly wrapped her arms around me.
The hug shower how much she was vulnerable and sad.

Both of us didn't speak for good few minutes. She was sobbing continuously, I was caressing her hair.

"Just don't die." She said breaking the hug, looking at me with her dovey eyes.

I chuckled, "That is the only thing I can't promise love." I wiped her tears.

She hit my arm lightly, "Don't say stupid things. Come back safe. I will be waiting for you."

"Yes ma'am. You have no idea how much I am going to miss you." I pressed a lingering kiss on her forehead. She smiled softly.

"How's everyone at home?" She asked. Always thoughtful.

"Same as you. Although they have got a little habitual about this. But mom and Ananya are still the same. They just can't do it without the tears."

"I can't blame them. I'm in the same boat. Till date, I have met so many defence officers, be it Army, Navy or Airforce, but till today I never understood the pain of their families when they depart for their job."

"Don't worry, you will get used to it.

"I don't it ever happens, but in no way I would have imagined a life partner other than you Anurag. I'm really lucky to have you in my life."

"It's the other way around Shruti. I love you."

"And I love you."

SHRUTI'S POV

It is definitely not going to be an easy journey for both of us. Long distance marriage, our professions are so demanding, the huge cloud of uncertainty regarding life and death. I wouldn't have ever imagined anyone else than Anurag as my love of the life and my life partner.

Because we are truly
MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
