5 it's hard as steel

Echo's Point of view (POV )

i can't believe this man.. so embarrassing

he said " don't worry its hard as steel "

the f**k how can he say that.. i am internally laughing loudly and Ranjith is also rolling on the floor laughing hard ..

his ears turn red ... the fan girl inside me squeals

SO CUTE

ranjith said " Indeed cute sir "

wait

did he say indeed wait did i say the cute part loud .. f**k

the hottie said " your still talking loud "

i just apologised

He started speaking

" Good afternoon , you must be miss echo . i am majour Ram " [ Authors : yes Indians i took the name from SRK's movie .. but come on it was a good memory ]

i replied politely " Nice to meet you sir , Are you the fearless lion ? "

He replied " of course not . i am sorry to say you cannot meet fearless lion he wants to stay in his own cover . "

i thought for a while and replied "Is it so.. it's fine i want to experience a month of military training anyway "

he was shocked so was Ranjith

" So you still want to stay here ? "

" yes sir "

"Nice .. you must be hungry . come inside let's have lunch "

" yes thank you "

"it's fine sweets "

Did this fellow just call me sweets .. i guess he liked my kick earlier and wants some more.. But a part of my mind warns me ..that he is not what he looks like and is a cunning two faced fox .. so I. decided to play along

he was drinking water when i said

" You are quiet hot officer are those Abs real"

he spurt out the water from his mouth

Ha ha ha .. take that hottie

the dramatic effect .. i internally chuckled

He looked at me again and said

" Yes they are real and thank you. You are the first one to complement me this freely"

" I am quite shameless officer "

when the atmospheric suddenly got really awkward and the oxygen level was decreasing rapidly

before i die Ranjith came back and said

"Sir and Echo lunch is ready "

i and Ranjith decided to be on first name basis . we are of the same age . He said hottie is 4 years older.. hmm

we had lunch and my god the food is so fantastic

butter chicken , chicken chilli and finally my fav gulab jamun they are out of the world..

but while i was eating i noticed Ram staring at me and observing my movement ..

the naan bread he was eating was harder than what i had so i suddenly thought of teasing him more and asked

" why is yours more Harder ? "

ranjith and him looked shocked and questioned me with their large eyes

then he replied

" mine is made of dried corn seed for better digestion"

He caught my words correctly .

guess he is sharp..

but this cunning officer gives me weird feeling.. what should i say about this I really don't know..

while he was washing dishes his shirt moved up as he was bending and there i saw the deep gash of a wound ..

how could such a gash be ? won't it lead to death ?

isn't it really painful ?

how ??

I got a thought on my head

but didn't question him about it and didn't ask about the wound too

he gave me a glass of white liquid

" I don't like milk i said "

" it's not milk "

" oh "

i took a sip ..

flavours explodes in my mouth .. the sweetness the sour taste with the fruity banana taste

god .. what is this

" This tastes so nice , what is it called ? "

" Banana lassie "

why the hell did i not taste this in my life before and

what else i am missing out..

" can i get another glass of it "

" I know it tastes good but you can't drink more as it causes nausea during journey and we are going to the northern camp at 3pm "

" oh " i said disappointed

" i will give you two glasses of it at night , You can try other flavours as well dear "

AGAIN !!

HE CALLED ME DEAR ! DEAR??

ok i will let it slide this time because the lassie was good

" thank you sir "

i teased him before true but not anymore as i don't want to give any wrong signals

we left to the north

reached there.. I unpacked at the room given to me

I am staying here for one month

among 250 men .. oh

I have dinner and its quite simple with rice and curry

and drink lassie of two different flavours banana and rose...

banana is better

anyway Officer Ram fulfilled his promise and

before leaving he said

" Tomorrow morning at 4 am . And while you are here you are a soldier and have this with you ok? "

he asked passing me a small square box and a pocket knife

i nodded

inside the square box it's a transmitter or GPS or something.. never knew i would ever hold this.

Its so cool

I FEEL LIKE I AM ETHAN HUNT

wooho..

" Miss echo. i wanted to ask are you indian? "

" yes . i was probably born indian or my parents were indians "

" you mean? "

" yes my parents are not with me .. i am an orphan "

he looked quite silent.. maybe he also misses his parents or maybe he is an orphan too

"Ok then goodnight echo .. and Call me Ram "

"Good night officer i said "

" RAM ! " he said in a more deep voice

ok anyway

" goodnight ram "

i slept while thinking is the stay worth my time ..

or am i going to regret this badly

" You can do it " I said to myself before sleeping

this was my day1 in army

i closed my eyes . waiting for next day
