With time our love for eachother grow more and more and six months of romance passed just like that. But the past 15 days, Victoria started to avoid me. I thought may be I had disappointed her mistakenly, so I went to apologise to her at night to her door but she shut the door on my face.I was totally shocked. I thought again and again what I have done wrong. I started panicing. And it gets more worse,at night I had a nightmare of Victoria marrying to someone.The next day, I was totally not in the mood of work. Today I was feeling hollow in my heart like something bad going to happen. I thought it may be related to my relationship so I started calling Victoria again and again but she cuts my call everytime and just as I was drowning in sadness,I heard the sounds of gunshots from the backyard and a silent care center turned into mayhem.Everyone started to panic and running everywhere,as the in-charge of care center, I started to stabilize the situation. I asked everyone to keep calm and to silently evacuate from the front door and just when we thought, we all can evacuate safely, the backdoor burst open and a soldier crawled out from it and started shouting,"all dead , all dead!!!!! monsters !!!!!! devils!!!!!! He was totally bathing in blood. He was shot 3 bullets on right chest, 1 bullet through lower abdomen and 5 bullets from left shoulder. Seeing him, I know the enemies are near and someone has to buy time . So without thinking anything, I took charge and asked my secretary to help evacuate the others and asked the door guard to contact the headquarters immediately. I know I should not do this but my body reacted on instinct.I went to the dead body of the soldier. Fortunately, he still had half of the bullets in his Ak47 gun and fully loaded M1911 pistol. He also had a standard army binoculars. Firstly, I picked up the binoculars and lean at the sidewall of the window. I tried to see outside how many enemies were outside and after seeing it I was totally shocked . In my sight nearly 72 terrorists were marching towards the health center and seeing the huge blackspot at far place, I know there were more people. I know I can't take them on and I can feel that today maybe be the last day of my life. After thinking about this I started thinking about Victoria and our 6 months of romantic journey. I also regret of not knowing why Victoria was angry. I also felt bad for my parents as I was their only son. I also felt sad sad for not fulfilling their only wish of seeing me married and holding their grandchild. But I know there's no medicine for regret and I know may be this is the only chance of being a hero in my life and I thank God for giving me this chance to be a hero and fulfilling my hidden wish. After collecting my thoughts, I started planning how to buy more time for the people to run and for the support team of headquarters. Firstly, I drag the LPG gas cylinder near another sidewall of backdoor and open the cylinder so that the gas can start leaking. Then I started fighting guerrilla warfare with terrorists. Due to sudden shooting, there was a lapse in their command which worked great for me as I shot 7 terrorists dead excluding 2 headshots. I also injure 13 people in various parts. I should really thanked my father's friend for teaching me shooting to atleast national level silver medal. After that terrorists started arranging formations and it really become hard to kill them. Then also I didn't lose my determination and started gunfighting with them for the next 7 minutes. But as I only have limited bullets and single person I could only took out 12 more person with only single bullet in my pistol. I was totally injured and my breathing has become erratic. I had 2 holes on my right chest,3 bullets on my right shoulder. 1 bullet to my left chest and a deep scratch on my left forehead due to bullet grazing. I am only standing due to my deep will to save people. I can already heard the sound of helicopter from the side of army headquarters. I already know the people are safe and my time has come. I leaned to wall and took out my mobile phone.I started sending voicemail to Victoria as not knowing the reason for her anger was my deepest regret.I said,"Hey babe,this may be the last time you will be hearing from me. You know, things happen here and can't explain all of it now as I am already dying.You know may be knowing you and falling in love with you was the greatest boon of my life. I don't know why you were angry for the last few days but I must tell you I only love you in my life and maybe now in afterlife.After I left, don't be sad babe and I wish you a good life for your future."

After sending the voicemail,I only had few breath of my life. I can also hear the messy footsteps of terrorists coming near me & so to buy few more minutes for support team, I pointed my gun to the head of LPG cylinder and fire my last bullet and then the whole cylinder exploded and the whole health center catches fire. The sudden explosion also caught terrorists off-guard who were already near the backdoor of health center and nearly caught half of the terrorists on fire. Seeing the fire lit up whole building, As the last bit of my life sipped from my body with the last word escaping from me"farewell".
