"Comeback to me safe."
The word that makes his heart break, he is hoping that he will come back again and just like he always wanted is to be with Chyrill spending life with her but sometimes life plays not fair in each everyone of us.
They are now aboard the military craft of Arland soldiers the President has decided to invade all the terrorists dead or alive Abubakar Salem Ale should be captured for the peace and order of the Simpkins.
The other Arland soldiers landed now at the Northern Simpkins just like of what they had planned they will enter the Fort of the terrorists and they will surround it with nothing left alive or dead.
Sergeant Herrera takes a fighter plane after all he was being trained and he has a knowledge to make it so, and the commander trust him so much. Without knowing the terrorists, was in a blast and the fighter plane releases a missile from above.
They had surrounded the whole Fort of the Sans Serif terrorists the chaos was seen in the whole camp, a massive explosion and series of gunfire is all being heard that never been so different from them, gunfire, missile and explosions are just like a music to them.
Soldiers are panting....
A series of gunfire, missile is like a firework landed on the Fort of the terrorists.
Bloody fighting ensured between soldiers and terrorists wounded are lying on the ground looking life less crying for help, begging for their lives.
The whole terrorists camp is full of thick smoke due to gun powder and explosions. The wounded who are still alive lifted to the military trucks to cure, after all they are still humans who has right to live a life, giving them a chance to change lives. Not only the terrorists are wounded many of the Arland Soldiers are wounded and lifeless, many of them are going back dead. Fighter planes fall, they too take the gunshots, wounds and bullets to protect the others.
A sad thing happen to the soldiers and the reason to be proud of them. They are dying as a hero, but for their love ones this is the hardest part to accept the truth. Their duty is to protect other lives and serves their nation. They entered the last Fort of the Sans Serif terrorists and there they found their leader Abubakar Salem Ale.
The soldiers handcuff his hands coming out of the Fort he will taken by the Aircraft of the Arland Soldiers just to be sure that he will not be escaped again, the other Sans Serif terrorists will take the Military truck escorted by the other soldiers.

But there is one thing that he cannot take it about the Sergeant Herrera request, whatever that will happen, he us hoping that it will be for the good cause to everyone, especially to Chyrill.
Day 34 The fallen Soldiers
The sun shone when she heard the AIRCRAFT and trucks of soldiers, one by one they return to the camp of the Southern Arland camp. She hurries to go outside, running without a footwear she is excited to see Sergeant Herrera, she wants to see that he is coming back safely just he had promised.
She was running in the hallway of the camp and she sees the Arland soldiers coming with smiles on their face including the commander. Their colleagues gave them an applause to congratulate them in invading and capturing the Sans Serif terrorists and their leader Abubakar Salem Ale. She too claps her hands and give applause to all the soldiers she was too happy that the war in Simpkins is over she feel excited to see his beloved Sergeant Herrera.
The commander sees her coming and suddenly, the Commander's smile faded. She stands on the other side and watching all the soldiers coming, they are all shouting and put their hands into the air, their feeling of happiness cannot be hidden. But minutes fast, no Sergeant Herrera are coming in and joining the other for the celebration, her smiles were faded and she suddenly stops to clap her hands, she looks around as if her eyes start to cry.
Her eyes start to question why he is not here? Why he didn't come? What happen to him? Her eyes were looking for Sergeant Herrera and she started to get scared and one by one she looked for the group of soldiers maybe he wanted him to surprise her. The commander suddenly comes over to her and took her away from the group of soldiers. She looks in desperate and the commander notices her that she has no foot wear.
"Come with me." the Commander said to her.
Here eyes are still questioning, she wondered if she would join the commander. She takes her attention when with entered the bodies wrapped in a black bag. She gets panic and she starts to cry and looking at the Commander, she wanted to ask what is happening and why she should come with him.
"Ms. Chyrill, follow me I have something to tell you.".
"Is this all about the Sergeant?"
She can't hold her tears now and that of moment her tears started to flow. She follows the Commander at his office her footsteps are heavy, she is praying that the commander doesn't bring a bad news for her.
They reached the Commander's office, the Commander opens the door for her to let her in. She afraid to go inside. She doesn't want to hear what the commander wanted to say to her cause she sense that it will not cause good for her, she can see it in the eyes of the commander. He has a saddened look and the way he looks at her is with so much fear and pity look. The Commander offers her a seat.
She takes her seat at the right side, side to side to the Commander's table. The Commander takes a seat facing her. She wipes her tears and hoping that he will bring a good news.
The Commander breathes heavily before he says a word to her. She just keeps staring the Commander and waiting him to speak.
"I don't know, How can I say this to you?"
"What do you mean?" Her hands is now shaking, but she is trying to be calm and act in a normal.
The Commander breathes heavily again and stands to his seat, walking and facing at the window. He turns around to face Chyrill and he gets something in his pocket.
Chyrill distinguished the thing in Commander's hand it looks too familiar to her. It was handed to her by the Commander. She was never getting wrong that it was her necklace that she gave to Sergeant Herrera, She wondered why it went to him? It's still the same the dog tag was still attached on there, but it looks a bit different there were names printed, her name and Sergeant Herrera's name.
"The Sergeant gave that to me, before he boarded in a fighter plane."
"What a fighter Plane?" she said with surprise in her eyes, she never thought that Sergeant Herrera can manage and handle the fighter plane.
"He was one of the bravest soldiers that I ever had, he never quits in any battle he has a strong spirit and I never heard him giving up in any battle. "
"Come - on Commander, tell me what happened?"
"I'm afraid to say this to you."
"Tell me. Please".
"Sergeant Herrera didn't make it, He and two of my soldiers was being targeted by the terrorists and I'm afraid that they exploded their body was never found. I'm sorry for his lost.
She cried in bursts, her body is shaking, She did not know what she was going to do? Whether she would be angry with herself or to Sergeant Herrera, because for the second time he broke his promise again.
"No... No... No...it's not true... I won't believe you.
The Commander just looks at her, he understands the feeling of Chyrill, he truly feels how hurt it was, if he had only a chance to comfort her, he would do that.
" He promised me that he will come back safe, He swears to me and now you are telling me that he is gone?"
She let Chyrill pour out her feelings now. The hardest part to fall in love with is to let the one you love to let it go, no matter how hard it is. She needs to accept that Sergeant Herrera offers his life to save the others and serving his country.
She goes outside in the Commander's office without a word to say, she walks toward back to her room as if nothing to herself. She keeps questioning Why it happened? Why he broke his promise? For the second time Sergeant Herrera leaves her alone again. The pain that she can't never take it anymore, it's too hurt if she misses him knowing that he will never come back again.
She will be living now in the memory of his beloved man. She doesn't know how to move a life without him.
