John, "Grandfather, am I right? I think you said the 12th time, but what about the 11th time? Grandfather "While the 11th time, I was a shaping iron which was going to be a sword. The 11th time was the life-changing event for everyone, especially since it gives lessons to me." Gems "Father, breakfast is ready, so let's go for breakfast." Grandfather: "Let's go; I'm feeling very hungry. John says, "Let's go for breakfast." John, "Oh! Shit, For breakfast, I'm listing such a brilliant life story. Today cancel the breakfast. Grandfather, carry on with your story. It is so engaging.
Gem "I know that story is very engaging, emotional and inspiring, but for now breakfast is important. So, let's go."
(John shows an angry eye to his father along with a cute smile.)
John "Mother, Today Grandfather is telling me a story, but Father disturbs us in the name of breakfast. Grandfather, I think we need to finish it very fast and again continue our story." Grandfather: "Ok, but at first have a breakfast."
(After breakfast, all family members join for listing grandfather's story.)
After the agreement between both countries. The situation was under control, but we, the victims, became homeless. P.M. decided to provide government school classrooms at night for sleeping. The country was very poor, although they somehow managed a sleeping area, but there were not sufficient food facilities, so we only got one meal a day. The class gets started at 5 am and is over at 9 am. Then at 9:05 we get one meal, and then we need to go to the market in search of work.
Work can be anything. Me and my friend used to do shoe polishing and wash tea cups after class for money/food. But one day, I was washing cups, and my friend (Nakul) was taking clean cups into the kitchen, but by mistake, he slipped down, and a cup broke down into 2 halves. The owner saw that his reaction was terrifying. He took an iron chain and started to hit him. My friend was hurting, and he was crying. I can't see that, so I tried to stop the owner, but he pushed me aside. I saw my friend was badly injured, so I covered him, but the owner didn't stop.
But one person snaps the chain from the hand of the owner and throws it away. The owner got slapped by him, and he also paid the bill for the broken glass/cup. That person was Sir Tim.
( By pointing a finger in front of the photo ) Look, he is Colonel Tim, well. On that day he came to save us like God. Sir Tim took us in to hospital, and we got some treatment. I wasn't much injured, but my friend was so injured. I went to meet Sir Tim, who was with a doctor, and we had a conversation. I tell my whole story, like what my name is, what I lost in that war, what I want and what my dream is.
John interrupts, "Dream. "What was your dream?"
Grandfather (with a deep voice): "Revenge".
He suggested that I join the army and contribute to our country, and that can also be one of the steps for fulfilling my dream.
(ting ting, doorbell rings)
Gems: "Wait a second. I will open the door."
(When Gems opened the door, he saw Nakul.)
Nakul: "Ooh! "Sir, why so late?"
Gems: "I was in another room, so it took little time to open the door. Uncle, what a surprise and coincidence.
Nakul" coincidence"?
Gems: "Today Dad is telling us about his past life and telling us how much life was difficult in that time."
Nakul: "Ooooh, really! So where is your dad?"
Gems said, "Let's go; he is in another room."
(As soon as they saw each other)
Nakul "surprise"
Grandfather: "Buddy, what a surprise. I loved that. Come and sit here.
Nakul "I heard that you are scratching old wounds."
(Grandfather laughs.)
Grandfather, come and join us. I was in that part where we meet Sir Tim.
So, he takes all responsibility for our food, education and shelter. He teaches us hard discipline.
Nakul – really, he was a very kind-hearted but strict person. He helps us in every step of our lives. Buddy, do you remember when we were at college? He suggested running for a college union election for a post. Grandfather, "Yes, I remember that. How can I forget it? Started my political life from college, where I won the student union election and controlled the union for 4 complete years. Nakul: "Sir Tim was very close to P.M., so, due to that, we got the chance to meet and also had many conversations and lunch with P.M."
Grandfather, "Do you remember Danum? He used to be our best friend. (Grandfather laughs.) Nakul: "Don't ever use this name in front of me. We 3 used to be best friends, but Cheater stole my girlfriend. Although he was the P.M.'s son, he did wrong with me.
After finishing our education, we both joined Army training camp. Nakul, "Do you remember the first day"?
Grandfather: "Definitely, on our first day in camp, Sir Tim becomes emotional." Seriously, he grew us like his own sons. Sir Tim hugged us and said, 'This is a real exam of your life, so do well and make me proud.' That was the first time we touched his feet and said, 'Mention not, Dad.'
"Colonel Tim well father of Brevis well and Nakul well."
Father already gave us all the techniques and discipline which are needed in training. So, we don't feel much difficulty in training. Father used to come daily to see us and our performance. We finished our training, and the government appointed us as captains. While receiving the medal, we requested to get the medal from our father. Father gave the captain caps and a medal in front of everyone present in the programme. Nakul: "That was a very proud moment for Father and a loved moment for us." Grandfather: 'All things were going well, but on Friday night in 1990, Velmora attacked our country. This time was the 11th time. Velmora not only launches rockets, but this time they send 5000 soldiers to capture Kahanzu (one of the cities of Dravenica). Dravenica wasn't ready, but I was ready ...….
