"Monu bro...Are you all right? Take a deep breath. You will be fine, I know it!" Siddarth shouted, shaking her repeatedly as her eyes continued to droop.

"Don't panic, Sid. You will create a scene and attract everybody here." She replied bravely but was too late as his scream had already alerted the others with all of them immediately scrambling out of their rooms to gather at the Academy gate where she lay. 

"What happened, Siddarth? Why are you shouting like that in the middle of the night?" His voice was the loudest penetrating sharply through the confusion and chaos thus created. But it also weakened as soon as he reached there. "Wh-What is the matter with her? Rani Sahiba, why are sprawled over the ground in this manner? Is this some new fashion that the rich follow?" 

"With all due respect, Karan Sir, but can't you see the blood pouring from her left side damnit? She has been shot, you idiot!" Sid replied, all his worry and frustration for his best friend blinding him.

"Calm down, chirkut." Sanjana firmly asserted, keeping a hand on his shoulder for support as his shoulders visibly sagged down. "Now tell us what happened. In Detail."

"What's there to tell? Those traitors of the country, bloody terrorists, they shot her. Multiple times, may I add, though she fought magnificently. You should have seen her. All Thirty of them against her, and she managed to bring twenty-nine of them down. But that one idiot, he got his hands on a gun and opened fire!  Behind her back that too, coward!" Sid shouted, his hands clenching in anger as his eyes darkened, remembering those horrendous moments.

"That does not matter now, Sid. All that matters is that the reason we, the reason I had come here has been looked after. The mission was a success. Inform the Chief that there is no need to shut  Parakram SAF now." She suddenly spoke, mustering up all her strength to sit on her knees.

"Mission? Terrorists?But That means that you, Doctor Monami, were the secret agent that had been sent by the IB?"Faizi asked as all the pieces fell into place at her short nod.

"Yes, Secret Agent Tsunami at your service." she formally introduced herself, only to be picked up roughly by someone. No, not someone, it was him. That scent, That touch, she recognized it too well, even though there were dark spots clouding her vision and she could not properly see.

"Karan...Where are you taking me?" she asked, groaning as another wave of pain hit her.

"And where do you think, Rani Sahiba? To the hospital, of course, I know you are yourself a doctor, but you cannot treat yourself in this condition now, can you?" He asked sarcastically, masking his worry and concern for her efficiently.

"I don't think there's any need for you to do that."

"And why not?" He asked again, raising his eyebrow as he placed her on the front seat of his jeep, the rest of the trainers and recruits filling up in the back.

"Simple. Because I know I am not going to survive." She replied monotonously.

"Monami.. Do baatein and there is no need for you to lift your fingers, considering your condition. First, don't you ever say anything like that again. And Secondly, you are now going to sit silently as I take you to the doctor who is going to treat you and make you healthy again. Am I clear?" He asked fiercely, gripping the steering wheel tighter as he swerved left and right to reach faster.

"Crystal, Khadoos Shergill. But that does not mean that I am going to listen to you. Because two things. First, right now, I am not your cadet. I am Special Agent Tsunami, okay? So, You don't order me around. And secondly I have something to say to my partner." She answered back, just as determined. "Sid, in case I don't survive, which I am quite sure of, I want half of all what I own to go to charity, One-fourth to IB, and One-fourth to Parakram SAF, got it?"

"Stop distributing your wealth Monu. You are going to survive this too. I know you will. And then we both can ourselves go to the Chief and celebrate our success. Till then, I am not going to tell him a single word." Sid replied, tears filling his eyes as he crossed his arms stubbornly.

"Secret Agent G aka Siddarth Ganju, Don't forget I am still your senior. Now do as I say and call the chief." She ordered strictly, glaring at him as he reluctantly took out his phone and turned around to do as she had asked.

"Faizi...Since Karan here won't listen to me and Sid is busy, I need a favor from you, if I may?" She suddenly asked, drawing everybody's eyes back to herself.

"Ha, Monami-Tsunami, go ahead."

"There is something that I possess, which is more precious to me than anything else in this world. I-I want you to promise me that you would ensure that after my death it goes in the right hand, that is, to the only person I trust it which."

"Monami..."He warned, his eyes glinting dangerously which she ignored.

"I want you to ensure that this case that I have, reaches my lifeline safely. And make sure that she accepts it, will you?" she requested, a single tear leaking from her eye as she remembered all those memories she had made with her, which did not go unnoticed by him.

"But what does this contain, Monami?" Sumanji asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

"And who is this #lifeline of yours?" Chitra continued.

"It contains this." She replied, opening up the case which she had taken out from her back pocket to reveal its contents, earning gasps of surprise from those around her.

Sanjana was the first one to recover, speaking "But these are...How-How?"

"Well, to begin with..."
