This story is written by Gohar Ali Khan, a student of class 5.
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Murtaza. He lived in Islamabad with her brother. Murtaza was 5 years old, and his hobbies were making paper planes and reading about the Airforce. He was a patriotic little boy who wanted to become a fighter pilot. Funnily enough, his love for flying came from watching Doraemon.
Fast forward a few years, he got his commercial pilot license and passed all his examinations with flying colours. He kept working hard and joined the Airforce, getting further training to fulfil his dream of becoming a fighter pilot.
His happiness knew no bounds when he flew a plane for the first time. He made many friends on his journey, of whom Ibrahim was his best buddy. They spent much time together and always had food at the cafeteria.
One day, Ibrahim told him that his head said the enemy was planning to wage war on Pakistan. Murtaza was shocked. Murtaza said they should both get permission and check the borders at night in their stealth fighter jet.
When they were about to launch, Ibrahim started looking nervous. He had to fly the plane, being the senior, but he hesitated to tell Murtaza the direction of the enemy. Actually, he was planning on crashing the plane where Pakistan had stored her nuclear weapons. Murtaza had a hunch that something was wrong, but he kept quiet and trusted him because he was a friend.
After a while, however, Murtaza asked Ibrahim what he was really up to. And Ibrahim finally told Murtaza, at which the latter was shocked and angry. He fought with him, flying thousands of meters above the ground. By mistake, one of them pressed the button that made the plane go into autopilot mode. Ibrahim started laughing and said, “There is one life jacket. You will die. My plan would work, and I will run away.”
Ibrahim took the jacket, ejected from the plane, and saved his life. Murtaza was scared, but he came up with an idea. He was checking for a place where he could crash the plane. When he saw a lake, he crashed there to save his country from disaster. So, he died for his country’s safety.
On the other hand, Ibrahim couldn’t run that far away, for Murtaza had already sent a message to ground control, and the Pakistani army captured him. After his death, Murtaza was given the highest military reward for his courage, the Nishan e Haider. He had become the youngest man and only member of the Airforce to have received this honour.
Moral
We should never betray our country and always be ready to sacrifice our lives for our motherland.
