Episode 5:

(The battlefield isn’t just on the training ground. Sometimes, danger comes unannounced.)
NovelToon
(Ishani had two alarms set for 4:30 AM. Did she wake up? No. Did she curse her existence when the third alarm rang at 4:50 AM? Absolutely.)

Reporter Madam vs. Alarm Clock = Alarm Clock jeet gaya. Again. 😂
Cut to five minutes later—she’s rushing out in a ponytail and joggers, holding a protein bar like it’s a life-saving weapon.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(muttering, inner thought in Awadhi): Ee fauji humke reporter se athlete bana ke hi maanat. (This army man will turn me from a reporter into an athlete!)
The moment she enters the training ground, she spots Ehsaan—already watching her with that ever-serious expression.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(checking his watch, unimpressed) 5 minutes early today. You’re improving.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(mock gasp): Oh my God! General Saheb ne tareef kar di!"

Yeh dono ek doosre ko pareshan karne ke alawa kuch aur bhi karte hain?" 😂
Then, before any more sarcasm can fly, an explosion is heard nearby.
Unexpected Attack
💥 Soldiers immediately spring into action. The explosion wasn’t too close, but close enough to signal trouble.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(firmly): Everyone, defensive positions! Find the source!
(Ishani, who was seconds away from cracking another joke, freezes.)

Aaj ka sarcasm session band… kyunki ab asli danger shuru ho raha hai! 😶🔥
💥 Gunshots are heard in the distance.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(whispering, inner thought in Awadhi): Ee ka naya fasaad ba?! (What new disaster is this?!)
(Before she can move, a soldier rushes toward Ehsaan.)
Ground Officer 💪🏻

(saluting, urgent): Sir! Suspicious movement spotted near the east perimeter. Possible infiltration.

(dead serious): Squad One, move out. Squad Two, secure all non-combatants.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(confused, looking around): Non-combatants?
Before she can react, Ehsaan turns to her.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
"Go inside. NOW."
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(blinking): Wait—what? No! Mujhe report—
And just like that, she’s pulled away by a soldier while Ehsaan storms ahead.

Breaking News: Reporter Madam first time bina jagda kiye peeche ja rahi hain!" 😂
Inside the secure base, Ishani is pacing.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(frustrated, muttering): Humko andar bandh kar diye, jaise ke hum chhota baccha bani! (They locked me inside like I’m a child!)
Then, her eyes fall on something. The surveillance screen. Live feed of the soldiers moving.
**For the first time, she sees the army not as just ‘uniformed men’ but as a living, breathing force of action.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(thinking, serious for once): Humesha news dekh ke lagat ki fauj sirf ladat hai… par yeh log toh ek team jaisan chal rahe. (On TV, the army always looks like they’re just fighting. But this… this is strategy, teamwork, precision.)
She watches as Ehsaan moves like a leader in a battlefield.

Pehli baar Reporter Madam General Saheb pe article likhne ke bajaye observe kar rahi hain. 🔥
Suddenly, the screen flickers. Something is wrong.
A soldier’s voice on the radio: Contact confirmed! They have explosives—requesting backup!
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Breath stops. The camera angle shifts, and she sees a soldier falling behind enemy cover. He’s trapped.

Ishani Gupta(FL)
(whispering): "Oh my God…"
Then—Ehsaan moves.

Ehsaan dodges through the gunfire, reaching the fallen soldier, dragging him to cover like it’s second nature.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(heart racing): Yeh… yeh banda alag hi level ka hai.
(The General she had spent days teasing, annoying, and challenging… was now the man she couldn’t look away from.)
💥 30 minutes later – The threat is neutralized. The base is secured.
💥 Ehsaan walks back into the command center, unharmed but covered in dust and sweat.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(calm, but sharp): Koi problem hui?
