It was mid of December in 1939. I still remember those dark clouds hovering in the sky above me, that chilling breeze which froze me to the marrow, that cold feeling which forced me not to go back, no sound of crows was to be heard. Only the threatening sound of thunder in the sky entered my ears and warned me about the incoming rain and my senses told me to find a shelter or else it was death in the dead winter in those silent outskirts.
When the rain was certain, I ran here and there in search of shelter like a fox after its prey. No men was to be seen, no ruins were capable of hiding me, no tree was huge enough, no caves were formed. In no time at all it started raining, my body was only getting colder after every step that I took so I decided to wrap up in mantle and wait for the storm to calm. It was still raining ferociously when I heard a sound of passing by lorry, I stood up and waved for them to stop, the lorry indeed stopped and four men came towards me. I never had thought that they were from the German army who would seize me as their slave, but it was useless to struggle against them because it was extremely cold, they were armed and I had no place where I could go back, this sacrifice was better than to die alone in the cold. I knew nothing about what they would do to me or where faith would take me.
After travelling for more than five hours, we reached our destination that was the German army base, they took me out of the lorry and forced me towards their prisons like all other prisoners. They treated us coldly with only one time launch and not much to eat except boiled potato, they would force us to work for more than eight hours. After three days their general showed up to check upon us, all the prisoners were abusing him but I stood still doing nothing. While he was passing by, he noticed me and stood in front of me, he didn't even blinked an eye or did any kind of gesture, he only stood there and was noticing me. In the coming day, two army men grabbed me and took me to the general office. The general told me that he wanted me to do a highly skillful task and that none of his men were capable of this, he bribed me and in return he would set me free. He said nothing else until I accepted it, he ordered his men who took me inside a small tent where they made me emotionally touched and my heart got filled with anger against my own family and country. They only thought me the basics of army training.
At last, the general called me again and told me about my objectives. My objectives were to destroy my country's army base, I was in a situation from where I could not reject it and continued to listen to him. One night they woke me up and ordered me to get ready for battle field, I did as they ordered and we traveled in the army truck. We reached our hiding area from where we would attack them, it was the mid night of January and one batch of our army attacked from one side while another batch went inside their base from behind including me, My objectives were to plant the bomb named T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-O-R and I did so, we only confronted few soldiers in our penetration and escaping. My batch were successful but those who were fighting and distracted the enemy died, when we were on our way back to the base I activated the bomb and my objectives were completed. Inside the base, general congratulate me and gave me my freedom but today the same army is after my life because I am working with my own country men.
