Ndikazungulira, ndinawona Anya ali yekhayekha kum'mwera chakum'mawa kwa imfa, koma ndinathamanga ndikupeza kuti anali munthu wina. Ndinamuona Sati atanyamula madzi kupita kwa anthu opulumuka kupyola mpanda, koma ndinapeza kuti anali mwana wa wina.

Masiku asanu ndi limodzi anali atadutsa kuchokera pamene mabomba anasiya kuphulika, masiku asanu ndi limodzi kuchokera pamene tinayamba kupeza chothandizira pa zotsatira za kuphulika kwathu kwa nyukiliya. Tinakhazikitsidwa pabwalo lalikulu lotseguka, makilomita makumi asanu ndi limodzi kunja kwa zone yoletsedwa ya Agra, pafupi ndi Highway AH43 ndikuyenda mtunda kuchokera kumtsinje wa Asan. Opulumuka ambiri adayenda m'magulu mazana ambiri ochokera m'zigawo zomwe zakhudzidwa za Haryana, Jaipur, ndi Harit Pradesh kuti akafike kuchipatala chathu chankhondo komanso malo opangira zinthu, omwe tsopano ndi akulu kwambiri m'derali. Anawalozera kuno ndi wailesi, timapepala ta helicopter timene tinkatsika, ndipo magulu ankhondo oyendera ma radiation anatumizidwa kumpoto kuti akaone kuwonongeka.

Ntchitoyi inali yolunjika koma osati yophweka. Monga Mkulu wa Zamankhwala, ntchito yanga inali kutsogolera gulu la mazana mazana a asitikali ankhondo ndi madokotala odzifunira. Tidawasamalira omwe adapulumuka atafika, kuwunika momwe akudwala, kuthandiza odwala kwambiri, kutonthoza omwe ali pafupi kufa, ndikuwongolera amphamvu kumisasa yankhondo yomwe idakhazikitsidwa kumwera kunja kwa mzinda wa Gwalior - malo otetezeka.

Ndidagwirapo ntchito m'zipatala m'moyo wanga wonse ndi Indian Medical Service, ngakhale ndili mwana pomwe ndimagwira ntchito kwa abambo anga ngati wothandizira pazachipatala. Koma sindinawonepo mawonekedwe ngati awa. Chipatala chathu chakumunda chinali ndi mabedi pafupifupi zikwi zisanu. Pakadali pano, ma drones athu ofufuza zam'mlengalenga adawunika kuchuluka kwa omwe adapulumuka omwe akudikirira kunja kwa chipatala kuti apitilira XNUMX, onse atafola mumsewu waukulu, kuchuluka kwa makilomita omwe ziwerengero zawo zidakula pofika ola. Popanda thandizo lochokera ku boma lalikulu, matenda anali otsimikizika kufalikira pakati pa omwe akudikirira panja ndipo khamu laukali likanatsatiradi.

"Kedar, ndamva kuchokera kwa mkulu wankhondo," adatero Lieutenant Jeet Chakyar, atakumana nane pansi pa mthunzi wa chihema cholamula zachipatala. Anapatsidwa ntchito yoti akhale msilikali wanga ndi General Nathawat mwiniwake.

"Zoposa zonse, ndikukhulupirira."

“Mabedi anayi amtengo wapatali ndi zinthu zina. Anati ndizomwe angatumize lero.”

"Kodi munamuuza za mzere wathu wawung'ono kunjaku?"

"Ananenanso kuti ziwerengero zomwezi zikuwerengedwa m'zipatala zonse khumi ndi chimodzi zomwe zili pafupi ndi malo oletsedwa. Kusamutsidwa kukuyenda bwino. Ndi dongosolo lathu chabe. Iwo akadali osokoneza.” Kuphulika kwa mizinga ya nyukiliya yomwe inadutsa pafupi ndi malire a Pakistani kunagwetsa mphamvu yamagetsi yamagetsi (EMP) yomwe inagwetsa ma telecommunications, magetsi ndi magetsi ambiri ku North India, ambiri a Bangladesh, ndi chigawo chakum'mawa kwa China.

“Tichita, ine ndikuganiza. Asilikali owonjezera omwe abwera m'mawa uno ayenera kuthandiza kuti zinthu zizikhala bata kwa tsiku lina kapena aŵiri. ” Dontho la magazi linatsika kuchokera pamphuno panga pa piritsi langa lachipatala. Zinthu zinali kuipiraipira. Ndidatulutsa mpango ndikuwukanda pamphuno. "Pepani, Jeet. Nanga bwanji tsamba lachitatu?"

“Okumba atsala pang'ono kutha. Akonzeka molawirira mawa. Pakalipano, tili ndi malo okwanira m'manda achisanu kwa anthu ena mazana asanu, kotero tili ndi nthawi. "

Ndinakhuthula mapiritsi anga awiri omaliza a Modafinil m'bokosi langa la mapiritsi ndikuwameza mouma. Mapiritsi a caffeine anasiya kugwira ntchito masiku atatu apitawo ndipo ndinali maso ndikugwira ntchito kwa masiku asanu ndi atatu molunjika. "Ndiyenera kuchita zozungulira. Yenda nane.”

Tinasiya chihema cholamula ndikuyamba ulendo wanga woyendera ola limodzi. Malo athu oyamba oimapo anali munda umene unali kum’mwera chakum’mawa, kufupi ndi mtsinjewo. Kumeneku n’kumene anthu amene anakhudzidwa kwambiri ndi kutentha kwa dzuwa ankagona pabedi padzuwa lotentha kwambiri la chilimwe—mahema ochepa amene tinali nawo ankawasungira awo amene anali ndi mwayi wochira. Ena mwa okondedwa a opulumukawo ankawasamalira, koma ambiri anagona okha, ziwalo zawo zamkati zinali zitangotsala maola ochepa kuti ziwonongeke. Ndinaonetsetsa kuti onse alandira chithandizo chowolowa manja cha morphine kuti asafe tisanakulungidwe matupi awo kuti awatayire usiku.

Mphindi zisanu kumpoto kunali chihema cholamula odzipereka. Zikwizikwinso achibale ena adalumikizana ndi anthu masauzande ambiri omwe akuchira m'mahema azachipatala apafupi. Poopa kupatukana ndi kuzindikira malo ochepa, achibale anavomera kuti adzipereke ntchito zawo mwa kusonkhanitsa ndi kuyeretsa madzi a mtsinje, ndiyeno kuwagawira kwa khamu lomakula kunja kwa chipatala. Ena adathandiziranso pomanga mahema atsopano, kunyamula zinthu zomwe zidangoperekedwa kumene, komanso kukonza mapemphero, pomwe amphamvu kwambiri adalemedwa ndi kunyamula akufa m'magalimoto onyamula madzulo.

Ine ndi Jeet tinayenda kumpoto chakum'mawa kupita kumalo opangirako. Asilikali opitilira XNUMX ankalondera mpanda wakunja wa chipatalacho, pamene gulu la asing'anga ndi ma lieutenants oposa mazana awiri anakonza mzere wautali wa matebulo oyendera mbali zonse za msewu waukulu. Mwamwayi, EMP ya nyukiliya inali italepheretsa magalimoto ambiri m'deralo kotero kuti sitinade nkhawa ndi magalimoto a anthu wamba. Mzere wa opulumuka unkaloledwa kudutsa mmodzimmodzi pamene tebulo likutseguka. Athanzi adapitiliza ulendo wawo kupita ku Gwalior ndi magalimoto amadzi. Odwalawo ankatsalira m’munda wodikirira kuti awakonzere chithandizo pamene bedi la odwala likupezeka. Ntchitoyi sinayime. Sitinathe kupumira kaye, choncho tinayendetsa mzerewu usana ndi usiku kuchokera pamene chipatala chinayamba kugwira ntchito.

"Reza!" Ndinaitana, kutengera chidwi cha woyang'anira wanga. "status yathu ndi yotani?"

"Bwana, takhala tikukonza anthu okwana XNUMX pa ola kwa maola asanu apitawa."

"Ndiko kukwera kwakukulu. Chinachitika ndi chiyani?"

“Kutentha, Bwana. Athanzi pamapeto pake akukana ufulu wawo wopimidwa kuchipatala, ndiye tsopano tikutha kusuntha anthu ambiri podutsa malo oyendera. ”

"Ndi odwala?"

Reza anapukusa mutu. "Pafupifupi XNUMX% okha omwe akuloledwa kuyenda njira yotsalayo kupita kuzipatala za Gwalior. Ena onse alibe mphamvu zokwanira.”

Ndinamva mapewa anga akulemera. "Ndipo kuganiza kuti zinali makumi asanu ndi atatu peresenti masiku awiri apitawo." Omaliza anali pafupifupi nthawi zonse omwe amawonekera kwambiri ndi ma radiation.

"Wailesiyo imanena kuti phulusa ndi tinthu tating'onoting'ono tizikhala tsiku lina. Pambuyo pake, mzere wotsatira uyenera kuwonjezeka. Vuto ndi malo.” Anayang'ana munda wa odwala omwe anapulumuka kuseri kwa mpanda. Kawiri anthu odzipereka anachita kusuntha mpandawo kutsogolo kuti ugwirizane ndi kuchuluka kwa odwala ndi akufa. Malo odikirira anali tsopano kuwirikiza kawiri chipatala chakumunda chomwe.

"Jeet, madotolo a Vidarbha akuyembekezeka kufika liti?"

Jeet adayang'ana piritsi yake. "Maola anayi, bwana."

Kwa Reza, ndinamufotokozera kuti, “Madokotala akafika, ndidzawagwiritsa ntchito m’malo odikirira. Theka la odwalawo amangofunika kulandira mankhwala kuti atsegule malo. ”

“Kumvetsetsa.” Kenako adandipatsa mawonekedwe odziwa. "Bwana, palinso china."

Ndidatsamira ndikunong'oneza, "News?"

"Chihema 149. Bed 1894."

Nthawi zina ndizodabwitsa kuti anthu angati amathamangira kwa inu kuti mupeze mayankho, maoda, ndi ma signature a requisition pamene mukuyesera kupita kwinakwake. Zinatenga pafupifupi mphindi makumi awiri kuti ndifike ku tenti yomwe Reza anandilozera ndipo mtima wanga sunasiye kuthamanga. Ankadziwa kuti amandichenjeza pamene mayina achindunji akupezeka pa kaundula kapena akadutsa pamalo athu ofufuza. Kunali kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu molakwa. Koma ndinafunika kudziwa. Sindinagone mpaka nditadziwa.

Ndinatsatira ma tag a manambala pamene ndimayenda pamzere wautali wa mabedi azachipatala. Makumi asanu ndi atatu, asanu ndi atatu, eyite-foro, odwala anali kundiyang'ana pamene ndimadutsa. Chimodzi-khumi ndi zisanu ndi ziwiri, chimodzi-khumi ndi zisanu ndi zitatu, chimodzi ndi zisanu ndi zinayi, mzere uwu onse ankawoneka kuti akudwala mafupa osweka kapena mabala a mnofu osafa-chizindikiro chabwino. Wani forte-seveni, wani-fote-eyiti, wani-fote-naini, ndipo apo iye anali.

“Kedara! Tamandani milungu imene ndakupezani.” Amalume Omi anagona ndi bandeji yamagazi kumutu ndipo kudzanja lawo lamanzere atavala pulasitala.

Ndinagwira ma e-files a amalume anga atapachikidwa pa bedi lawo lolowera m'mitsempha pomwe manesi awiri amadutsa. “Anya,” ndinatero mwakachetechete. “Kodi walandira chenjezo langa? Ananyamuka nthawi yake?"

"Mkazi wanga. Ana anga. Kedara ali ndi moyo chifukwa cha iwe.

Ndinayang'ana kuti nditsimikizire kuti odwala omwe tinali nawo akugona, ndisanatsamire. "Amalume. sindidzafunsanso.

Pensulo ya styptic idayaka kowopsa ndikuyikanikiza pamphuno yanga yamkati. Kutuluka magazi m’mphuno kunayamba kubwereranso maola angapo alionse. Manja anga sanasiye kugwedezeka.

Pamene usiku unali pafupi m’chipatala, ndinadzipatula m’chihema chomangira anthu ambiri. Kubisala kuseri kwa chinsalu, ndinakhala pa desiki langa, ndikumeza mapiritsi ochuluka kwambiri a Adderall. Aka kanali koyamba kuti ndidzibere ndekha m'masiku angapo ndipo ndidatengera mwayiwo kulira koyamba kuyambira pomwe zidayamba.

Kumeneku kumayenera kungokhala ndewu ina yamalire, zida zankhondo zowoloka malire athu kuti magulu ankhondo akutsogolo atha kuyimilira mpaka thandizo lathu lamlengalenga litakhazikika. Nthawi imeneyi inali yosiyana. Masetilaiti athu adayamba kuyenda mkati mwa zida zawo zanyukiliya. Ndipamene lamulo lalikulu linalamula kuti aliyense asonkhane chakumadzulo.

Ndidakhala mkati mwa Bangladesh ndikuthandiza anthu okhudzidwa ndi chimphepo cha Vahuk pomwe General Nathawat adandiyimbira foni kuchenjeza banja langa. Anati ndinali ndi mphindi makumi awiri zokha kuti nditulutse aliyense. Sindikukumbukira kuti ndinaimba mafoni angati, koma ndi Anya yekha amene sanayimbe.

Pomwe gulu lathu lachipatala lidafika kuchipatala chakumunda, nkhani zochepa zomwe wailesi yankhondo idagawana zidawonetsa kuti Pakistan idawombera. Kuzungulira kwathu kwa laser chitetezo kunawombera mivi yawo yambiri kumalire, koma ochepa adalowa mkati mwa Central ndi West India. Zigawo za Jodhpur, Punjab, Jaipur, ndi Haryana ndizomwe zidakhudzidwa kwambiri. New Delhi yapita. Taj Mahal ndi mabwinja, akupumula ngati manda pafupi ndi chigwa chomwe Agra adayimapo kale.

General Nathawat adanenanso kuti Pakistan idavuta kwambiri. Analibe chitetezo chapamwamba cha ballistic. Koma, adanenanso kuti kuchuluka kwa chiwonongeko chomwe India adachita chikhalabe chodziwika mpaka gulu lankhondo ladzidzidzi likukhulupirira kuti Pakistan sidzakhalanso chiwopsezo chamuyaya.

Zaka zidzapita kuti akufa awerengedwe mbali zonse ziwiri. Amene sanaphedwe mwamsanga ndi kuphulika kwa nyukiliya, koma pafupi mokwanira kuti amve zotsatira zake za radioactive, angafa m’kati mwa milungu ingapo kapena miyezi chifukwa cha mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya khansa ndi kulephera kwa ziwalo. Anthu enanso ambiri okhala kumadera akutali a kumadzulo ndi kumpoto kwa dzikolo—omwe akukhala kuseri kwa malo oletsedwa ndi asilikali ankhondo—adzavutika kuti apulumuke kaamba ka kusowa kwa zinthu zofunika zofunika pa moyo kufikira ntchito za boma zitabwerera kudera lawo.

Ngati kokha a Pakistani akanatha kudyetsa anthu awo popanda kuopseza India chifukwa cha zomwe zatsala za nkhokwe zathu zamadzi. Kuganiza kuti iwo abwera izi! Kodi iwo ankaganiza chiyani?

Ndinayang'ana kuti nditsimikizire kuti odwala omwe tinali nawo akugona asanatsamira. "Amalume. sindidzafunsanso.

Nkhope yake inasanduka mwaulemu. "Atachoka kunyumba kwanga masanawa, Jaspreet adandiuza kuti Anya adatenga Sati ndi Hema kuti akawone sewero ku Shri Ram Center mumzinda. …Ndimaganiza kuti mukudziwa.
