I could see his injury
The gore was slipping through his body and blending with the dirt
I ran towards him
With my heart pounding against my chest
I knelt down, seeing how bad his condition was
Under the night sky of showering bullets
I clutched his wounded abdomen
I could see the blood
He screamed, I pressed down even harder
But the blood raised more
I signaled, trying to get the medical team on the ground
He reached out towards me and caught my hand
He pulled me closer towards me
I leaned towards him
Gave him my ear
And he expressed his last words to me
‘If I fight, I shall fight with dignity
If I fall, I shall arise again
If I bleed, I shall overcome the pain
If I die, I shall shoot bullets till my last breath’
As he uttered these last few words
I could feel his hand loosen….
I stood up
Remembering the words he said
And I fought till my last breath…
