Day 27 The cup of coffee
She put the flowers in the base that she pick along the way to the camp, she pulled the curtain to let the sunlight into the room. A second day Sergeant Herrera is in the stage of coma, he is looking lifeless with the mechanical ventilator attached to his body, she only wish and pray that he will be awake too soon, she misses him so much, her heart feels dying everytime she sees the Sergeant lying in the bed of death, but, she hopes that one of this day he will be awake, smiling, laughing and teasing her sometimes and she could feel his warmest hug and they will dance as a sweet lovely couple.
She sat beside the Sergeant looking at him and touches his face, holding his hands.
"Good morning my love, its a beautiful day, you never see it again... Hmmm... You should get up on your bed right now, I miss you." she kisses the forehead of the Sergeant to say goodbye for a while. She adjusted the blanket first before she left the room.
The door closed and the curtain is all dancing because of the wind that blows from the window of the room, the sun reflected on his face he slowly open his eyes, his finger moves too, tapping on his bed, he heard Chyrill's voice he knows she was there he feels her touches and her kisses.
He tried to speak, but no words coming out, his eyes slightly open that he could see the sunrise reflects on a window glass, he could feel the soft wind blows touches his face. A moment later he closes his eyes again, he feels that he is close to Chyrill when he is asleep. But his heart desires is to see her love, to see her smile and he could smell her perfume that smell like a flowers bloom in spring.
He would rather close his eyes again to hear her voice, to feel her touch and tk taste her kisses.
He doesn't know where he is, he feels the soft and comfy bed where he is lying down, but, what's that sound? Beeping?that echoed everywhere. He never sure that sounds he is sure it is not a gunfire, he also smelled the new coffee blend that Chyrill make and left on the small table near to his bed. He knew that he is not dreaming but why he never got awake? He wanted to open his eyes again, just like a while ago, he wanted to see Chyrill. He didn't know for how long he was trying to figure where he was until a moment he was deeply asleep.
After an hour, Chyrill backs into the Sergeant room she immedaty noticed the cup of coffee that had fallen and thrown, she gets a map to sweep the floor to remove the coffee stain that drops in the floor. She dripped to pick up the cup that had fallen.
Suddenly, she notices the blanket was removed and the Sergeant hand is slightly hanging on the bed. She grasp the hands of the Sergeant and put again on the bed, she then pulled out the Sergeants hands and removed the blanket that covered, she back again on what she was doing.
She sat beside the Sergeant bed after she cleaned the coffee stains that dropped on the floor. She didn't know for how long she would stare the Sergeant, for how long she would wait until he gets awake. It's already late in the afternoon, her eyes get close a moment, but she is fighting the drowsiness that she feels right now, she afraid that she won't see the Sergeant if he gets awake. But she could not resist the drowsiness her eyes suddenly closed and she crouched down on the bed and the Sergeant's arms became her pillow.
"A series of gunfire, she heard from the outside, she gets awake and looks surprised, Sergeant Herrera was not on his bed, her heart beats fast and feel afraid that Sergeant Herrera is missing again. She turns her look to the door that is slightly open, she immediately goes to open the door and look for the Sergeant. But even before she left the room, the door suddenly opened. She saw Sergeant Herrera enter the room, she ran quickly and hugged him tightly, she couldn't believe that he is now awake looking good and well, she's happy then this is what she wanted to happen to see him back again. "
She pinched herself to make sure that everything is real.
" Are you okay?... Oh god, I'm so thankful you are here.. You back, I am happy.... So much happy. " She is crying when she says the word to the Sergeant.
" I'm happy to see you too, my love. "
Tears flow from her eyes a feeling of longing was suddenly disappeared. She tightly holds the Sergeant and kiss in her forehead.
Later, she rattled from the gunfire, she heard from the outside, she gets surprised when she sees herself sitting beside the Sergeant and fall asleep and Sergeant Herrera is still lying on the bed, nothing has changed, he is not awake and he is still in a coma and the beeping of the machine is sounded in the whole room.
Everything that she sees was just a dream, Perhaps by means of the dream Sergeant Herrera wanted to convey to him that he was in good condition.
She took her flannel and went out of the Sergeant's room, took some water to drink it. Meanwhile, she takes a sit in a long table where all the soldiers dine in. She took a deep breath and her slightly lean her head on the table.
Amanda notices her and joins her.
"Hi, Are you okay?"
She just nods and held her heads with her two hands.
"I just feel so exhausted these days.... I feel that I am burning out".
"How is the Sergeant now? I hope he is good and soon he will be recovered."
She just sight and looks at Amanda.
"How long is the war? Do you think it will end so soon?"
"I am hoping and praying that it will end too soon".
Amanda smiled at her to assured that everything will be fine.
Chyrill grasps Amanda's hand to say thank you for being so nice and kind to her, she never thinks that she will be a good friend that she can count on. Maybe, soon she will repay Amanda's kindness to her.
Arland soldiers don't lose hope, they fought against the terrorists because they do believe that this war will be ending soon. Everyone needs peace to live a life, for a better tomorrow for the people of Simpkins.
