THE TWO CHILDREN WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR NATION’S SAFETY
This is a small story about two school children who fought and died for the sake of nation in simple English.
It was during 1990’s…. when the two children died….! Rajarao, a 14year old boy and Santhosh, a 13year old boy lived in a small village of Jothpur. They were the children of scientist Mohanroy .Their family members were calling Rajarao as Raju and Santhosh as Santhu. They both were more popular in the school where they were studying. They also got the title that “most intelligent students of the class”. Other than this they were honest, kind and always participated in skating and picnic. For this reason Mahanoy’s children were known to whole school. They were intelligent not only in studies but also in sports, gk, etc. Mohanroy encouraged his children in all the way. Popular scientist, Mohanroy was rich he not only had cars but he even had helicopter of his own. He was using it rarely. Once it was Sunday, both of the children were eager and decided to go to picnic. Both of them thought deeply and deeply at last they were ready to go the most popular and huge temple of lord Krishna but both of them were not enough brave to take permission from the father so, they went to ask about their plan to mother. They asked for mother but mother said “not now your father is busy in some work we can go in next Sunday” but Raju and Santhu were not in the stage to listen those words. Then Santhu requested to mom that this week we both will go and come. Sheela was not in a mood to disappoint their children so she gave them permission and also said to pilot, Ramaswamy to be ready. Raju took a small bag and then three of them sat in the helicopter. Pilot started the helicopter and found the direction to go near the temple. The way to the temple was through the huge forest. When they came near the forest Raju said to the pilot “uncle, go slow I want to have the close look of the forest”. As they were not in very high so, pilot slowed down the speed. When they came down near the trees within a fraction of second the helicopter started to shake and the pilot was out of control and soon he died. His death was not known to Raju & Santhu so, they asked him “pilot uncle, why the helicopter is shaking but pilot did not answer. The helicopter was coming down rapidly with its puffing engine as it got struck with one of the tree. At the same time Raju and Santhu were shouting at the pilot later they saw the reddy dark blood coming through his chest part. By seeing this they got thundering fear so, before the helicopter touching the ground they both decided and jumped little far away from the helicopter to save at least their life. But actually they jumped along with the body of the pilot as they were not willing his body to burn along with the helicopter. After the jump they ran little far along with the body and protected themselves behind the tree. The smoke surrounded the helicopter and it caught fire and burnt with a huge blast. Later they both went near the blast’s spot but to their fate they saw one dead body to the right of the helicopter’s engine. They both saw the body clearly. To their surprise they saw a gun in his hand soon they watched his dress and later due to some clue they got to know that he was terrorist and they thought to escape from this place so, ran quickly towards the tree to take pilot’s body but to their horror they did not found the body and they saw that few members were running with the pilot’s body carrying on shoulder. Santhu asked Raju “who they are”. As he saw their dress Raju said in a sad face that “they were the same terrorists and the dead one was one of their groups”. Soon they both started to run from that place after running long distance they stopped for a while and they saw all the 4 sides. To their eyes they saw only huge tall trees which even avoided the sun light to enter the ground. And one side of the forest had the background of which was really very beautiful but looked very threateningly from the forest and the ground was entirely covered by bushes, grass etc. Raju and Santhu again started to move further. Unknowingly Raju stepped into a special shiny substance and fell down due to its slippery. Santhu shouted “brother”. Later Raju said “don’t worry I am fine” and took that substance and called Santhu to see it. Actually it was a sword. Its handle was made by brass and the rest part was made by the strong metal. As Raju was seeing it suddenly Santhu snatched it and touched its sharp edge surface. Unfortunately, he got hurt and blood flowed through his fingers. Raju shouted at him “what the hell you did” and as he learnt in his class he took some medicinal plant’s leaves and applied it to his brother’s wound surface so that it would stop the flow of blood. Then Raju took that sword and kept it gently in his small bag later they moved forward to find a way to go to their home. They walked far and far at that time it was getting dark. So they searched for a safe place and built a small hut like with sticks and leaves on the tree and stayed there for the whole night by taking rest. The next morning both of them woke up quickly jumped from the tree and walked silently. They walked and walked and also crossed the terrorist’s area in which the terrorists were not there at that time and took rest, after getting tired under a tree. At that time Santhu said to his brother “brother see!! There is a building and it looks exactly like fort” then Raju said surprisingly “yes…..it is an old fort”. Then Santhu said “let’s go there. Raju said “ok come let’s go”. They got up and started to move towards the fort meanwhile they heard the dangerous sounds of the lion and in other direction they heard the sounds of wild bear. Raju said to Santhu “lets walk slowly, they may hear our sound as the ears of the animals will be more sharper than the
Humans” then they walked slowly and reached near the fort gate and stopped behind one of the tree as they saw a man was entering the fort. Later they went up to the gate but it was locked. Then Raju took his sword and inserted it in the lock and turned it towards right side. The door opened gently they entered inside suddenly the door shut itself automatically. Later Santhu asked “how did you get this idea” then Raju said “the person who entered the fort before us did exactly like this so, I too tried and it went successfully”. The sound of their talk made the man to come outside from his room and asked “who are u kids?” actually he was old looked strange to Raju and Santhu. “Hey Santhu, he looks like terrorist” Raju whispered. Later Raju said to old man “uncle we had lost our way and reached here” then old man said “ok kids tonight you can stay here tomorrow morning we can see”. Even though he looked strange to them but the sweet words made them to stay there. In the house Mohanroy got worried as his children did not return even after 2days. He searched for helicopter and gave a complaint in police station telling that “my children went to picnic with pilot Ramaswamy but did not return even after 2 days” then the inspector asked the names and age of the children. Mohanroy said “Rajarao, he is around 14years, we will call him as Raju and Santhosh 13years, we will call him as Santhu”. Then the inspector asked “who is that guy Ramaswamy”. Mohanroy answered “he is my employee and pilot for the helicopter”. Then the inspector said “ha… now it is easy to search for us”. “How” Mohanroy asked. “Because they went in helicopter means it is easy for us, we will try” said inspector. He also said “you don’t worry we will take action immediately” and gave his promise. The next morning in the fort the old man got up and woke the boys and gave them some fruits and said them “I am going out for some time to bring some more fruits for afternoon” Raju and Santhu said “ok uncle…”. Old man smiled and went. The police whom Mohanroy gave complainant were also in the forest with 10 jeeps as they got information about the blast of helicopter. They came along with Mohanroy and Mohanroy was shouting continuously with loud voice “Rajuuuu….. Santhuuu….” But he didn’t get any reply sound other than his own voice. In the fort, as it looked them something strange Raju said to Santhu “let’s go and search the whole fort” Santhu said “ok ok let’s go”. Entire fort was engulfed by silence. They went around the fort and checked every room but they didn’t get any clue about their thought on old man as terrorist. But when they came and tried to open another door they saw that it was locked again Raju took his sword out and opened it in the same way as he opened the fort gate. The room was entirely different from the other rooms. It was very horror. There was a big table with full of guns and there was a photo of the terrorists hanged on the wall. Raju pointed one of the terrorist and said to Santhu “hey ,Santhu is that the same old uncle who gave shelter and fruits” Santhu said “yes… yes…that means he is also terrorist” in a shock. Then they searched for some other clues about them. But they did not get anything at last they found a key which looked strange and was like some toy. Raju took that and kept in his bag. By this time the police team had reached the blast spot. And one of the police saw few members going somewhere but suddenly he identified them as terrorists and shot two of them. In that the old uncle was also there this was not known to police. Suddenly all the terrorists ran towards the fort by shouting “police…police”. This shout made the police to follow them. By that time the terrorists entered the fort. The police had the doubt that these may had kidnapped the children so, he started to shout and tried to enter the fort but its lock they stayed behind. And announced the terrorists to surrender and leave the children back safe but the sound didn’t went too far so that they can hear. In the fort the children acted as they slept as the presence of the sound of terrorists made them to act. One of the terrorist went inside the room to bring the key but he didn’t found it. And the old man got doubt that the children might took that so he went near them and asked in a rude way “give me the key” they said “why”. “To open the computer” said old man but again they asked “why” old man said “that is nan of your business”. Then Raju said “if you will not say means I will not give” then other man came and snatched it from his hand and tried to kill them but Raju took his sword and killed him without any fear. then old man said “hey you, don’t act too smart and you know why I left you without asking how you entered the fort because I had fear that if you go, you may tell to police”. And somehow Santhu saw what was there in computer and he was shocked and whispered to Raju “brother it’s about the bombs which they had kept in some major cities through the world” this sentence made Raju to think about the nation’s safety and decided to die for the nation. Soon Raju heard the sound of police slightly so he ran towards the computer and thrown it out of the fort. This made the terrorists anger and came to kill them but Raju somehow fought with sword and killed some of them. Unfortunately both the children got hurt died and died badly. But before their death Raju had thrown his sword out of the fort. By this the police opened the lock and shot all the terrorists. But Mohanroy felt senseless as he saw the dead bodies of their children. Next day the police officers went and saved the country from blasts by getting the information that was saved in that computer. After few days Mohanroy was little proud about their children, Rajarao and Santhosh as the police officers came and said “sir, your great sons had fought for the country’s safety died for it and they are like god for us because of them we saved our country.” This story shows the greatness of the two young school children. And they have proved that not only adult can do this work even the children can fight for the country. Brave Children Can Do Anything In Their Life…For Nation….. BY:- ADARSH.A IX ‘A’
