Day 37 Behind his Death
Commander's POV
A day before the invasion of the Sans Serif terrorists Sergeant Herrera asked me to do a favor, one is to bring him back to the Mission and the second one is I will announce that he is dead and that is what I will tell to Chyrill.
I could still remember that night, I know he doesn't want to do, that but for the good cause of Chyrill his force to do so.
"You will still remember me Commander, see you around."
"Why you need to do this?"
"It's for Chyrill, I don't want to be a burden to her, I want you to give this to her..."
He handed me the necklace where the dog tag was attached on it.
"I want her to keep that... for her to remember me."
"Oh, your crazy bitch... Don't you know what you are doing?"
"I do know commander. I'll get to see you soon."
"You're crazy".
"Well, commander this will be our top secrets and I'm counting on you".
I was speechless at that time, I don't want to grant his request, but for the sake of his condition and knowing that it will be good for Chyrill he just say yes to the Sergeant.
Now I feel remorseful and I gave him what he wanted, I feel guilty for Chyrill. She looks too restless, tired and weak from the time Sergeant Herrera was gone, she is not like the Chyrill that I know cheerful, naughty and a hard headed woman that Sergeant Herrera always says.
She is now laying on the bed, Amanda just saw her lying down and unconscious, maybe she was too tired of what is happening right now. The Doctor doesn't say anything yet about her condition. I am hoping for her recovery soon, maybe she just needs a full rest to recover her strength.
I asked Amanda a favor to look after for her anyways she was being close to Chyrill and I promise to Sergeant Herrera that I will look after her. I let Amanda stay beside her for a while. Mid of the afternoon when Chyrill gets awake, she slowly open her eyes and she wonder where she is, she looks around trying to memorize all, what's inside of the room, she was surprised when she saw Amanda sitting beside her.
She slowly gets up and sit on a bed, she rest her head at the head board of the bed. She was held in her head by the dizziness she felt, and she also remembered that she had fallen down earlier due to sudden dizziness.
"Hi, Amanda greeted her with a smile."
She smiles to Amanda and she greeted her too.
"Oh, Hi... I wonder how long I have been lying her in bed?
" Well, not more than four hours of sleep, I think you're too tired and you should take some rest.
They looked at the door when it barely opened, the Doctor enters the room and she handed the result of Chyrill she was smiling to Chyrill when she come over to her.
"How are you Ma'am?" She asked Chyrill.
"Oh, I'm okay now, I guess, I am just tired".
The Doctor smiles again to her and she opens her chart reading the result.
"Well, Ma'am, I want to congratulate you."
Chyrill looks to surprise from what the Doctor said.
"What do you mean?"
"Congratulation Ma'am, You are pregnant a new angel coming into your life."
She seemed deaf and surprised to what the Doctor said.
"What?" She asked again.
"I said you are pregnant and soon you will be having a baby."
She was stunned by what she heard suddenly Sergeant Herrera coming into her mind, at that moment she feels sad and happy, its a mix of emotion, she laughs and cried. She feels sad because his beloved Sergeant was not here anymore, he can't be able to see the baby she will deliver soon and she feels happy, then that their love has borne a fruit. She is also feeling glad because there is something left to be remembered by him.
Amanda hugs her and she too is happy for what the Doctor said to Chyrill there will be might be a little Sergeant Herrera and a little Chyrill soon.
Chyrill is too thankful that Amanda never leaves her, she owes a lot more to this lady soldier she was a friend to her.
Sheback to her room to get a bed rest the Commander brings her a basket of fruits for her health right now. He comes to know that Chyrill is pregnant and her condition is too dangerous staying here in the camp.
Chyrill thinks about her situation right now, she is sure that she will keep the baby in her womb but she thinks too if she will go back home or stay here in Simpkins.
Day 38 Leaving in a Jet Plane
His private plane was landed in Arland, he took his crutch to support his legs going down of the plane, it has been too hard for him to leave the Simpkins and to leave Chyrill but, he just chose what is good to both of them he knows the time will come she will forget Chyrill and Chyrill forget him. She can find someone else who will love him and not cause a burden to her.
The pleasure of feeling that he is back of Arland it is nice to be back home to his land, but his heavy heart is in grief remembering Chyrill was not here with him. He remembers the days of funeral ceremony, he sees Chyrill how much does it hurt for her into believing that he was gone.
He rides in his car heading to Arkansas Town where his home was located. The weather gets cold it remind that winter is coming, while on the road driving home, he can't take away Chyrill on his mind, he is thinking that if his decision is right he was being rational he don't want to put Chyrill in burden and he should think that he is a soldier, with a courage the heart should not be the first and being stubborn that is how he was trained.
In the middle of the road he suddenly stopped the car and hit his steering wheel he leaned slightly in his seat. Thinking why he feels this way? He misses Chyrill and the day he saw Chyrill at the funeral ceremony makes his heart break. He stopped thinking when he heard the call from the commander, he answered it quickly he wants to know too about Chyrill.
"Yes, Commander, how are you doing?"
"Yeah. I am fine. I presumed you got home now."
"I'm driving home, how is everything?"
"I have something to tell you, I don't want to disturb your day, but, I guess you need to know this."
"What is it all about?" with curiosity in his voice.
"About Chyrill."
"What about Chyrill?
" Chyrill is having a baby and it's your too, I may say.
"Is she pregnant?"
"Yes, she lost consciousness and feels dizziness yesterday and the Doctor said she is pregnant."
He can't believe from what he heard, It could be true? He seemed to want to jump for joy, but somehow there was sadness, he could not be longer with Chyrill he made up his decision Chyrill needs a man who can take care of her and his child, not him he will be cause a burden to her life. He is a cripple who needs care,
he do not want to be difficult for her.
"Hey, Are you still there?"
"Yes, I am here."
"What is your plan?"
"You know my plan commander and it will never change, I made my decision.
He turned off the phone and starts the engine of his car driving way to his home.
When he reached the home, he quickly gets off the car and find the key of his house that was placed under the pot of the plant. He turn on the light of the whole house, he went to the fridge and get a can of beer and drink it.
He forces his feet to walk to his room, he feels that is too much for today, the news he heard about Chyrill that he makes feels so restless.
"Oh! He got an headache of so much thinking.
He would never be be going to show up to Chyrill and he wants Chyrill make her believe that he was already dead.
He needs to see the best Surgeon here in the Arland after the operation that's the time he will be decide on what's going to do. But, for now he doesn't want to mess up of all the things with Chyrill, he loves that woman, but he needs to choose what is the best for her. He took a shower and rest, tomorrow will be another day, he will talk again to the Commander and find the best Surgeon in this nation.
He will take the fifty fifty chances after all he has taken so much chance for his life it would be the last or maybe it will never work out. Whatever the cause will be he knows to his self he made a better decision for the best and for Chyrill.
All that he wanted is not to cause a problem for her, she suffers a lot from me and I want to return the kindness and that is to leave her alone and never to disturbed her.
