Mission

Can't you stop yourself, don't you love me, doesn't my vermilion stop you, doesn't my sacred thread restrict you, asked my better half? 

'I can't stop myself when my country is in peril, I have to go to fight for my country, I have to go, don't be my weakness, your sacred thread and vermilion are my strength, pray for me that I will come back with a victory', I told her wiping the tears from her eyes. 

'I know, that only a wife in you wants to restrict her husband not to put life at stake, but the inner woman in you wants me to behave and perform like a real soldier who has taken pledge to live and die for the country, I told her and took her in my arms.' 

'Yes, Oh! My brave hero, go and save our motherland and the foetus inside my belly wants its father to be triumphant', she cooed dropping tears on my shoulder.

Touching and kissing my offspring, I told, 'Oh my baby you are in asylum now, but when you will touch the motherland, you don't need to bother, your father is going to take part in the war to keep your motherland safe from the belligerent enemy, your father will not disappoint you and he will not care for his own life for the safety and pride of the country.'

Touching the feet of my parents and glancing at my village, I started my journey with one mission that I would render my service for the glory of my country.
