War in the Country
War broke out in the country which was then joined with a rival nation in order to proclaim the country’s independence. Everybody fled to their village homes. So did my own parents. Sometimes it was unsafe even in the villages.
People of the country did not have enough arms and ammunition but they believed in themselves that they could win; as they were deprived of various facilities and benefits, their patriotism for an independent nation was very much strong. Adult and young boys trained themselves quickly as Guerilla Fighters and joined in the war. So many lives were lost as lots of gunshots and bombings took place.
Dad and Mom stayed safe in Dad’s original village home. But even they got impatient after nine months. After it was declared victory for the country, Dad dared to come to the city to see if the complex where they lived was still in one piece. Fortunately Dad found out that everything was fine and he fetched Mom from the village, and they were one of the few couples who dared to stay in the complex.
Gradually law and order returned to the country. However, at the beginning there was a huge crisis. The country was victorious and had become independent. But all the wealth and assets were looted out. All school and university students suffered from lagging behind in their studies. So many homes were smashed down and so many people were homeless. But in spite of all of these drawbacks, with time it was possible to transform the entire nation to a stable and prosperous status.
Mom and Dad were relieved. Dad resumed office as things turned out for the better. Yes, it was good to be back to normal life.
