Two Weeks Later
The morning sickness that makes her uneasy, a feeling of dizziness for sometimes, things that make it difficult for her to move. She always feels hungry and craving for a food that she doesn't like before, sleeping for so many hours and yet she still feel sleepy. Is this the feeling of conceiving?
She needs to get up on her bed there are so many works to do, she had decided to stay here in Simpkins to live a life for good with her child that soon she will delivers. She helps by the People of the North Simpkins to survives in her daily needs, she lets her stay in their place, staying in the camp is not good for her, although Amanda convinces her to stay for a while she choose to live together with the Simpkins people.
The wind of winter creeps across the sky, she feels the cold weather that embraces to her body she needs to wear the winter clothes that Amanda gives to her, the size is fit to her even though she feels that her belly was growing a bit and she guesses that she gained more weight now. She wonders what if the months pass by she will be having a big belly that is to be expected.
She went to the fields to harvest the crops and vegetables to sell in town, in that way she can able to get a percentage from the sold crops and vegetables this is how she survives the everyday life of living.
"Okay, Mister, we have ten sacks of crops and five sacks of tomatoes and three sacks of vegetables."
"Yes Madam, I am sure that I can sell it right away."
"Oh, Thank you."
The crops and vegetables were loaded into his small trucks to bring in the market and to sell them at a right price that can everyone can benefit in the income from those harvested crops and vegetables. He is the old man who is being good to the people of Northern people of Simpkins and to her, he always brings her a bottle of fresh milk that she loves it most now. She thinks that she is craving for that. He came over here every second of the week to load the harvest crops and in the afternoon he will come back with a money that gained from the sold crops and vegetables.
This is her life goes on too simple, peaceful and yet she still misses Sergeant Herrera the father of her child in her womb and the man that she loved. After she helps to harvests the crops and vegetables she needs to go back to her house and prepare herself to go into the town for other job that she has.
The city of Simpkins gives her a job with the help of the Commander, she works at the Public School of Simpkins where she can teach the kids.
The Simpkins is indeed free from the Sans Serif terrorist, everything is lovely and there is no fear to be felt, children and women are free to go around and enjoys much of the time that has been captured from them. She's too grateful too that the children of the Northern People can be able to go into the school to learn.
She is waiting the military truck together with the children to pick and to bring them in the Public School of Simpkins. Children are excited as she does, it's a first day of being a teacher and the children are too much excited to go at the school. This is the way of her life after the war between the terrorists and after the day Sergeant Herrera was gone in her life. A life that she never expected to live on, for the sake of life in her womb now she needs to survive no matter how hard it is.
ARKANSAS
"The operation was successful." The Surgeon said.
"Thank you, I know he will be happy with the result."
"No need to worried about, he is a strong man. I know he will catch everything."
He was being worried about his bestfriend, his best buddy it was a relief to him that "Kristoff" Sergeant Herrera was survived from the operation and it was successful.
He watched his friend lying on the bed and just waited to regain consciousness, he knows that his best friend had so much want to do with his life and how he loves to be in the military. It made his surprise to know that he abandoned his work and live a life alone, away from the gunfire and missile that seemed like a part of his life. He suddenly gets up on his seat when he noticed that Sergeant Herrera's is awake.
"Buddy, " he greeted Marvin his best friend.
"Yeah, men! How are you?"
He just smiled and suddenly it was faded.
"I need to see Chyrill."
"Chyrill?"
"Yes, the woman that I love most."
"Oh, yeah, Is she the reason why you give up your military life?"
"Not really, but she is my everything."
He looks at the window pane and at this moment he thinks about Chyrill the woman that he loves, his everything. He will do everything to back Chyrill into his life.
Three Months Later
"Hold on Chyrill it will be fine" The old lady says to her while holding her hands to comfort her.
She almost writhes in pain she is scared because there is blood flowing into her, she is afraid that she might lose her baby. She was immediately taken to the emergency room for treatment and to save the baby in her womb.
She did not know what had happened and she suddenly lost conciousness when she was admitted to the emergency room.
After an hour the Doctor goes out in the Emergency room and Chyrill brings to ward to rest well.
The old lady Mrs. Barron, who is her neighbor and like a mother to her stays beside her and never leaves her. She knows that Chyrill when she gets awake her heart will turn into pieces she is sorry for the lost of her baby. Chyrill works too hard for her living and she wanted to save a money for her baby, she thinks about their future and to think that she will raise her child alone, but right now all her dreams and efforts will be faded into a dust.
It was dark when she regained consciousness, she touched her belly to know her child was safe, but then, a sad moment of her life happens again, she lost her child in her womb, she just sobbed at what she found out, the most precious things happen to her is now gone.
Being a mother of her child has taken from her too, she miscarried their baby her hopes and strength to live has now gone. She feels that she has no desire to live, she has taken all the people who are important to her.
The Doctor comes in her room and give a medication and a medicine that she will take for a week. She just nods the instruction that is given to her but honestly she does not absurd all the things that the Doctor said to her she was totally blocked out.
Mrs. Barron took her home and let her rest, her left alone in her house and the old woman promise that she will be back after an hour. She let the door of her room slightly open and turn on of the light. She gets the small box in her drawer and took the necklace the dog tag was still attached as a pendant. She feels sadness and longing again.
All the important people have been taken from her. Sergeant Herrera and the baby in her womb, destiny is too cruel to her. She didn't know for how long she stares her necklace, she stunned looking at the emptiness she doesn't notice Mrs. Barron comes in the room carrying a hot soup for her. Mrs. Barron knocks at the door.
"May I come in?"
She doesn't answer her, she just looks at the old lady, Mrs Barron comes inside in her room without waiting to answer her permission she puts the hot soup at the table and she invited her to eat the hot soup.
"Come - on Chyrill you need to eat to regain her strength, you should look after yourself."
She hugs Mrs. Barron saying thank you for being there at her side she's still too lucky there's a lot of people who took care and look after for her. Maybe Amanda will not be always on her side she can ask a help from the people of North Simpkins, who been so good to her.
But no matter what she does, her heart was still sad. There are real things in the world that even how matter, we want are not given to us.
Early in the morning she went to the camp of North Arland Soldier she asks a favor to Amanda if she could take her in Southern Arland camp to visit Sergeant Herrera's tomb.
She brings flower for the Sergeant, so many day passes by and turn into months, it's been a long time since he visits Sergeant Herrera tomb, for today she needs him, she wishes that she was still alive.
When they had reached the Southern Arland Camp, she walks through to the place where Sergeant Herrera's buried. If she only knew that his death is just a lie would she be able to mourn. She place the flowers in his tomb and offers a prayer for him, she, then, sat on the grass and keeps staring at Sergeant Herrera's tomb.
"Hello my love Sorry... I just got here right now."
She removes the dry fallen leaves on his tomb and sit beside Sergeant tomb.
"I came here, just because I want to say to you that I lost our baby, I was not able to take care myself and our baby...".
"Why did you hate me so much, you took him from me he just the only one that I have to remember you but then it disappears."
She wanted to cry, but she still felt the pain, she rested on her knees and looked from afar thinking what if Sergeant Herrera was here and still alive, but all of her dreams will never happen anymore, she wishes that he came into her dreams for just once she has a lot of things to say. She raised her gaze and Iooked up from a distance someone coming her whereabouts and seemed to be staring at her.
She suddenly stands up on her seat, her heartbeat quickened as the man with the muscular physique approached her and smiled at her at first she thought it was Sergeant Herrera, but she made the mistake of thinking that the Sergeant would come here if he had been gone for a long time.
He extends his hands and smile to Chyrill when he approached her.
"Hi, I'm Marvin and you must be Chyrill right?"
She is just staring the man who has a muscular physique, his skin has a pinkish color and he has an attractive blue eyes. He lowered his hand to notice that Chyrill had ignored it.
"Who are you? How do you know me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry let me introduce myself, I'm Marvin Williams a friend of mine sent me here to look after you".
"A friend? Who?"
"Hmm... Can we talk in a private place, because I have so much to tell you".
She was even more nervous because of what the man said, she walks fast and trying to avoid the strange man.
"Oh, Please give me time to talk to you".
His eyes are pleading, trying to convince her to talk to him, just a matter of time he asked again to Chyrill.
