Unwillingly, Jayne was about to step inside when she suddenly heard a voice from behind them .
"Sister Jayne! Sister Jayne!"
That seems like a familiar voice .
Unbelieving her own ears she stopped in her tracks and turned back to find Da Nuru and his wife running towards them .
Jayne was overjoyed to see them . She ran in their direction . Ronnie followed her .
"Brother Nuru! Are you alright?" she cried .
Da Nuru comforted her, "Sister Jayne! I'm alright . Don't worry . "
Jayne checked for their wounds everywhere . She saw bruises and it was bleeding at a few places though there was nothing major to worry about .
"Brother get in! We'll first go to the hospital and get your wounds treated . The rest we'll talk on the way . Ronnie let's leave . " Jayne demanded .
"Jayne is right! Let's get you treated first . Let's leave . " Ronnie too followed Jayne .
Da Nuru and his wife sat inside the jeep . Just as Jayne was about to get into the jeep, she saw a stretched carrying a soldier to the ambulance who was heavily injured . He was bleeding profusely at all places .
Jayne just couldn't take that sight . She released her grip from Ronnie's hands and ran towards the stretcher carrying the soldier . Ronnie asked Da Nuru to not get down and wait in the jeep itself .
The soldier was fighting life and death . It was his last few minutes . He was weeping with whatever strength he had left with him .
Jayne went up to the stretcher carrying the soldier and tried to converse in the local language . She effortlessly spoke and interacted in that language .
The soldier was mumbling, "M-m-mom I want to s-see my-my m-m-mom . She-she's alone . Wait-waiting for my return . I-I'm such-such a bad son"
Jayne couldn't control herself . Slowly tears started welling up in her eyes . She walked up to the soldier caught his hand with hers and comforted him, "Brother don't regret about anything . You are a soldier . You fought so many battles in your life just so that your countrymen sleep peacefully every single night . Don't worry about your mother . She'll be one proud mother . She won't lament the death of such a brave warrior killed in the battlefield . For she knows you'll be honoured in heaven brother . "
The soldier stopped crying and forced a smile on his face fighting back tears due to the immense pain . He breathed his last .
Jayne couldn't take it any longer . She walked out and started wailing out her tears . Ronnie ran beside her and comforted her .
Just then the Army General in charge of that area came up to Jayne . "Madam, thank you so much for doing this to him . If not for your words, he would have died a painful death full of regrets . Your words comforted him a lot . At least he has that smile on his face before he left us . Thank you so much from all of us . "
Jayne forced a smile and started walking towards the jeep while Ronnie was holding her in his embrace . "Jayne millions of soldiers die everyday fighting for their country . Today, even you did your bit towards them . I'm so proud of you my girl . " He tightened his hug . His respect and admiration for her grew tremendously .
Jayne didn't talk anything else . They got back to the jeep and drove to the Army hospital .
