20. The Sudden Attack

The world came back with a taste of smoke and the bitter copper of fear

The world came back with a taste of smoke and the bitter copper of fear. For a heartbeat I lay on the stone as if I had been knocked free of myself; then a hot scar of memory seared me—the torch, the falling banner, the letter with my husband's name written as if to buy us all. I pushed myself up, hair matted to my temple, lungs raw from smoke, and found Raidant still standing as though the room's chaos were a ring whose center he would not leave.

    Waiting to be His

    [SHATTERED SOULS SERIES #1] [NOT A HAPPY ENDING BOOK] "Tere bina jeena... ek Kargil hai." "He gave me a folded flag. I wanted a future." "I fight for India, but I dream of her." In the snow-wrapped silence of Siachen and the scarred corridors of military hospitals, Waiting to be His tells the story of Major Shashwat "Lion" Rajput-a battle-hardened soldier with frostbite scars and unsent poetry-and Dr. Kavya Malhotra, a psychologist who saves soldiers but can't save herself. When grief collides with duty, and longing festers between torn letters and last calls, their love becomes both refuge and ruin. Between ceasefire kisses and warzone goodbyes, they chase a tomorrow neither of them is promised. But in a world where uniformed bodies return wrapped in tricolour, and silence often speaks louder than survival- When he returns from the dead, medals in hand... Will she still be his to fight for- or has love already surrendered?
