Together they put the chain in a corner and went towards their cabin.
In the hustle and bustle of the night, it was not known when it was morning and the clock struck 4:45, shortly before the morning parade was about to begin.
Throughout the night, the commander had paraded them well.
They were very tired and their body was breaking in pain.
As soon as they enter their cabin, both of them throw themselves on the bed as if they have been looking for it since births.
After some time they fall into deep sleep.
"Tanveer...wake up, Tanveer...the morning parade is over and you both are still sleeping...hey brother open the cabin door...Tanveer...wake up" Captain Vikram said to Tannu.
And said, banging on the door of their cabin.
After some time Arun got up and opened the door, the captain quickly called both of them to his cabin.
Both of them reached the captain's cabin refreshed, the captain looking at them said "No... no... this discipline will not work on my ship... no one can violate my rules, especially when you are in the form of an illegal guest, whose responsibility has been taken personally by the captain of the ship, let me tell you whether your money is enough to be distributed among all the crew of the ship... no... your responsibility is mine and if I allow myself to break the discipline of my ship, then it will not take long for all the ship's crew to point fingers at me, so by not telling them about the money, both of you had to be seen as a compulsive student , I told you this in the first meeting itself, yet both of you have broken the discipline of this ship today, missed the parade in the morning and then didn't even reach the dining hall for breakfast... no... no... it won't work, today I'm leaving because it's the first time, but tomorrow will have to be on time ...am I clear... now you both can go", the Captain rebuked both of them and put them on their duty, today both of them were given the task of cleaning the corridor. Both of them are happy to know this.
It happened that the Captain did not remember anything about last night's accident, so both of them apologized to him and left the Captain's cabin smiling.
Both were doing their work diligently, slowly the time passes and it was 2:00 in the afternoon, it was time for lunch.
After finishing their work, both of them washed their hands and reached the dining hall.
As soon as they reached there, everyone asked them the reason for not coming to the parade in the morning, both of them made excuses for ill health.
As soon as the captain arrives in the dining hall, a cook first puts his food on the front table, now all the members of his platoon take the food in a queue and sit at the table to eat, then the captain starts and so does everyone starts eating.
Everyone was sitting quietly and eating their dinner, when some of the ship's guards sounded the siren which was a sign of danger, on hearing it, the captain left the food and ran towards the deck, behind him in the dining hall.
The members of his platoon sitting also run away.
Tanveer and Arun also ran after them at last to know which danger had come in the middle of the sea, hearing the siren of which everyone ran away so badly.
Anticipating some danger on board the ship was a sign of uninvited trouble.
Tanveer, while going to the deck, had the same thoughts in his mind that there was no less trouble because of the commander and now some unknown danger is moving towards him.
Both of them were being afraid from inside that this sea journey till London might not be the last journey of their lives.
Tanveer and Arun reach the deck running away, there was a stampede everywhere.
Merchant Navy personnel swarmed around the ship and surrounded the ship's railing, some aiming with flare guns, some standing with thick pipes at each corner of the ship, which mostly used to extinguish the fire on the ship.
There was a ruckus on the ship, Tanveer and Arun did not understand what to do, shots were fired from all around, the ship was surrounded by pirates from all sides, they were in large numbers, everywhere yacht sized ships were visible.
One of them on board the ship fired a Remington 700 - 1962 model gun whose bullet hit an assistant standing by Tanveer's side and pierced the glass of the cabin of the ship, seeing this scene trembling rises in Tanveer and Arun's souls.
Both of them sit down in fear, then a ship worker standing beside them asks them to help them, both of them somehow mustered courage to hold the water pipe and hit the water on the ship of those robbers, which made it difficult for them to move forward because the current of the water was so strong that two people were needed to handle the pipe.
The captain had his Smith & Wesson Model 60 - 1965 revolver with which he ran and fired shots into every area of the ship, a couple of times with success, injuring some of the gunmen, but to no avail.
The control room was also repeatedly requested for help, but it was impossible to get help as there was no ship nearby.
Some of the ship's security guards had G Lock 17 - 1982 pistols, CZ-75 - 1975 model pistols, so that the ship was driven by standing at every corner of the ship, this slowed down for some time but from every corner of the ship being in large numbers, it was impossible to hold them for long.
There was chaos all around for three hours, all trying their best to stop the robbers, but who can avoid untoward , being modern killers from everywhere they started climbing the ship's on repair stairs.
No one could stop and on sight every corner of the ship was captured by the killers armed robbers.
But before boarding his ship, Tanveer hid in a cabin in the lower corridor of the ship but he was unable to take Arun with him because suddenly a robber appeared and fired indiscriminately with Thompson Submachine Gun - 1918 model.
Tanveer jumped the stairs leading to the lower floor to escape, but five of the ship's crew were martyred on the deck.
The ship was covered in blood, in this dangerous attack a total of 12 of the ship's crew were killed.
