Day 36 Simpkins is Free
Her mourning is never yet over, Early this morning she went in the tomb of Sergeant Herrera that she make she put a cross and his name chiseled in the stone. She brings flowers for him and just like when the day Sergeant Herrera is in a stage of coma she keeps on talking to him, just like an ordinary day, as if he was there, she could still his presence, she senses that as if he is alive. She keeps Sergeant Herrera alive in her heart and mind. She could still feel his touch, his arms that holding her, those embraces that wrapping her in the cold night and the kisses that taste like a sweet cherry blossom that glows in spring.
The reality is that she will grieve forever and soon she will learn to live with it. She knows for herself that soon she will heal and rebuild her life again.
She comes back to her room and started to pack all her belongings. She needs to come back home, after all she thinks that she has no reasons to stay here in Simpkins here friends are gone and Sergeant Herrera left her too.
In the meantime she will come with the Arland Soldiers to come back at Northern Arland Camp where everything has started, from the day she was lost and stayed with the Arland soldiers, her life begins with the North Simpkins people, on the day her friends was devastated and killed by the terrorists, and that day she started to fall in love with the Sergeant. It will bring back all the memories. It will be sad for her that those moments will be just like a history a moment that will be written in her past.
Amanda knocks in her room getting her attention to get ready because any moment they will be moving back to the Northern Arland camp. She carries her belongings and goes outside.
The military trucks are ready to move back to the Northern Arland camp she boarded in the truck together with Amanda and the other Arland soldiers. She is thankful that Amanda is always on her side, she comforted her everytime she is feeling hopeless, she will truly miss this woman.
The Simpkins is now back to normal, the terrorists leader Abubakar Salem Ale was surrendered to the government of Simpkins and with the others who committing crime was put behind the bars and sentense of a life imprisonment.
Their journey to the North Arland camp was peaceful it was very different from what she had witnessed during the days of conflict between the Arland Soldiers and terrorists the whole area is vibrant annd the fear and apprehension of the people are gone. Their are smiles on their faces, childrens and women are free to go along to the city. The amusement Park is open too, she wondered that it will be more nicer at night.
She thinks about now the people of the North Simpkins are they all good? Especially the children, she gets excited to be there with them before she leaves and say goodbye. But her heart is in grief, she always remembers Sergeant Herrera, she didn't know how to move a life without him her fantasy is bringing her into the reality that it will never happen. Suddenly she looked sad, she turn her gaze to the window of the military truck and tries to remove Sergeant Herrera in her mind after all there's nothing she could do but to live in sadness and let him go to her life, she will thinking that it just only a nightmare, a good nightmare.
When they reached the North Arland camp her heart starts to beat fast it seems like everything come back as if she sees Sergeant Herrera all around the camp. She notices that there is something had changed the other parts and area of the camp was totally damaged.
She walks toward to her room, back then, this is the room where she stays for so many days this room witnessed how she loves the sneak kisses of the Sergeant, she just smiled when she remembers the days when she locked up in this room that's where it all started.
She put her belongings on the table and sat on the bed, her tears starts to flow again, she didn't know how to stop it, but it's like rain that suddenly falls and doesn't know when it will end.
