The angel with the blue wings
To avoid the situation he told her; with a demanding accent of high army officer, that he will go in a tour of inspection and ordered her to stay in the hut or in the area around it. She had immediately understood the purpose of his tone.
!“Yes sir” she responded to his order with a military salute and a loud merry tone. He nodded his head desperately and left her.
The rain was stopped but a heavy dark cloud was spreading all over the wide sky. “It will pour its load any minute now” He told himself. He didn't mind the weather much. What was bothering him was whether the Iranian militia had noticed the parachute or guessed where it landed. The thick darkness of the cloud gives a dim limited vision for the scene, which was in his favor. Although he can now wander her and there, but he must not forget to be cautious. His first idea was to go to the place where he pigged up the angle with blue wings. He smiled for the description he bestowed up on her. While he was deeply ponder in theses pleasant thoughts he glimpsed a scene which make his heart jumps to his throat. Not far more than two hundred meters he saw a large boat loaded with about ten persons, two or three of them were busy dealing with the boat engine which was apparently out of order. At the same time he was startled with a noise behind him.
He immediately turned his head. While he was about to use his automatic machine gun, he found her standing behind him smiling. It was obvious that she didn't know the danger they were both in. without delay he grabbed her from her waist and pulled her down. Before she could say anything he appointed to the direction of the enemy’s boat. She looked and was astounded. With open mouth and terrified eyes, she leaned down beside him. He made a sing to her not to utter a word. Then he drew her down and began to creep in front of her towards the water. He let himself slip inside the water slowly and smoothly and she followed him as slowly as she could. They hide themselves behind a thick bunch of reed but their eyes were sneaking looks at the boat in front. His senses were condensed to observe any movement for each one of the group in the boat. From what was going on in the boat he guessed that they didn't succeed to solve the problem of the engine.
That what gave him uneasiness and troubled him He was afraid that they may bring the boat to the shore. “If they did they certainly will discover us” he thought. The barely idea annoyed him very much. Suddenly he felt her body stuck to his back. She was trembling. Was her shivering from fear or the cold which was creeping inside his bones? He couldn't say. He had to admit that her plight is more than his; for when he slipped into water, he was wearing his furry coat. It is certain that the coat protect him in the first moments. But now it is fully wet, and the freezing water was unbearable. But what could be done? He had to admit to himself that he is helpless and the best he could do is to wait for a miracle to happen.
His fear aroused when he noticed the party began to argue loudly and one of them was pointing to the shore. The only thought occurred to him at that moment was to save her. His instant thought was to drag her on land with him and send her to flee while he stays and fight, “It won’t be long I know” he told himself “how long shall I stay alive with only thirty bullets? He chuckled bitterly. “Why she followed me” He wondered disapprovingly” I told her to stay near the hut, there I can grand her safety, and mine too!” he went on “and beside that, to be alone I would have an opportunity to deal with them. Or at least I would have more space of time to think of a way to get rid of them”
Leaving his thoughts roaming into different paths is his way to face a desperate situation. He was in such a mood between revolt and anger when a slight movement behind his back drew him to reality. When he turned his head she was almost at his front gazing at his eyes with a sad smile. At this instant they both heard a loud bang and the sound of the boat’s engine starting to work. They turned towards the sound to find the boat toke a rear direction and moved far away. They stayed silent watching the happy event with joy and satisfaction for few moments. What had happened just then melted his anger and his disappointment towards her. She was now so close to him lifting her bright face up to him and said with a broad smile. “We are saved” the words came broken out of her trembling chin. He returned her smile with a tenderly look while his affectionate fingers were moving slowly over her forehead to push aside the golden tufts that spread all over it and dropped to cover her green eyes.
***********
When they became over the wet grassy earth again they both were shaking. He took off his furry coat and squeezed it to get rid of a pocket of water it had sucked, and then moved towards the hut without uttering a word to her. In the hut he piled a heap of branches and made a good fire after he had enlarged the small hole at the high spot of the cone-shaped roof. The hut became like a huge chimney. On the reedy rounded walls he hanged his coat and his shirt and sat giving her his back. She took off her one piece pilot suit and gave it to him and squatted behind him. He hanged it as well. After less than an hour her suit was completely dried. He handed it to her and waited till she dressed on before he turned his head and said’ I am going to hunt for anything I can catch. Please stay where you are and Do not leave the hut.’ He squeezed the last words between his teeth. From the corner of his eyes, he hinted her trying to stifle a laugh.
The day was bright and warm though there was no sun. His intention was to fetch for a piece of worn fishing net he found three days ago in the remaining of another reed hut not far from the one he took his shelter. It was not difficult for him to find it and to start immediately his work to dismantle along threat from it. The next thing was to find pieces of wooden box he had noticed before. He got a nail from one of those pieces which he found to be suitable to be a hook. “The fishing tool is ready now’ he said to himself. “And now the last step is the pet!” He chuckled and said “Nothing is easier than that”. He started digging near the edge of the water. The hole which was not deep and wide but it revealed heaps of earth worms, which is the best pet for fishing!
With a delighted heart he began his enjoyable hobby: fishing! Within half an hour he caught a big Catfish .His experience of fishes told him that his catch was good. A queer idea occurred to him at that moment; he wanted to show his companion his prey before he prepares it to be barbecued.
Her first impression was not what he hopped to be. Instead of being satisfied with the promising good meal, she exclaimed with joy and confusions. She was astounded and behaved like a child presented with a long demanded toy. Her eagerness and enthusiasm was enormous. The first thing she wanted him to do is to dig a small pool outside the hut, fill it with water and put the fish there. Then she said as if she was stricken by a hazardous thought
“(No wait)” she exclaimed. “It will certainly die in the pool, can you tight it with a robe somehow and put it near the shore?
She was raising her begging face towards his. Her pleading countenance was irresistible. All the time he was looking at her smiling. Then without, saying a word, he took a piece of robe, put its end in the fish’s mouth and drew it from its gill and tight the knob. It is the safest way to return a living fish to water without any risk of losing it. She was watching him eagerly all the time. When he dropped the fish in water and connected the end of the rope with a punch of reeds on shore, he turned his head towards her and said “Here goes our today’s lunch”
“Did you intend to kill it and eat it? God forbid! It is my pet!”
While she was speaking, she was eagerly seeking a reasonable excuse to convince him of her strange attitude. At last she thought she founded it and said with a calm convincing tune:
”When I first saw it I remembered my close friend Norma. It looks like Norma, and I will name it Norma.”
He chuckled while he was entering the hut and said;” do not worry; we are not going to eat your Norma!”
She pursued him inside the hut .and there she noticed that he picked up his pocket knife and went out. Her worried eyes were following him.
“What is he going to do?” she said to herself “he can’t kill Norma; it is not his nature is it?
In Her soliloquy she tried to banish such an awful idea from her mind, more than to grant him the acquittal from any bad deed.
“I do not know him well yet; it is wrong to make a judgment so soon.” she admitted to herself that there were a kind of struggle about him inside herself, quarrel between two contradicted attitudes; one against him and the other give him all the privilege of nice, honest ,polite, and good hearted person. She smiled to herself for her warmth defendants, and the descriptions of highly good manners she bestowed upon him. Was this struggle between her logic and emotions? She wondered. It seemed that she was about to take a side in the struggle between her mind and her heart, when she suddenly jumped on her feet and shouted “What is going on”
She was blaming herself and expressing her dissatisfaction of her attitude. She was astonished for her behavior. A mocking voice was chuckling inside her chest and repeating what she had said just then;“Although I bestowed all that acclamation upon him, yet I was trying to convince myself that “it was wrong to make a judgment so soon! Hugh. The loud “HUGH” which burst suddenly alarmed her and she felt ashamed.
A broad smile and a red cheek brightened her face when she observed that she was really trying to cheat herself. She looked around her; there was nobody there but herself. The hut was dim and cold after the good fire was about to extinguished.
A queer sound was coming from outside the hut troubled her. She had never before occurred to her that somebody may surprise her while she was hiding inside the hut. What is she going to do? How she is going to defend herself? She had the gas pistol and a knife. Were those weapons capable enough to encounter the intruder? And what if more than one entered the hut? Those Worries began to change into fear. She looked towards the opening that led to a small door.”Where is he now? What is he doing in the moor? Why he left me alone here? Next time I will accompany him no matter whether he accept it or not.
The sound became clear now and more approaching. She hurried to her pistol, checked its charge and then aimed it towards the opening.
To avoid the situation he told her; with a demanding accent of high army officer, that he will go in a tour of inspection and ordered her to stay in the hut or in the area around it. She had immediately understood the purpose of his tone.
