Day 18 : A Surprise Proposal
Chyrill decided to stay for more days at the Arland Camp she wanted to spend more time with the Sergeant she is now in love with that guy’s day with him is a memorable from the time she arrived at this Camp he always there for her, saving her life twice and he shows how caring he was. She felt like she was still dreaming from the kisses, the way she kiss by the Sergeant makes her thrilled.
She feels bored staying inside of this room; she took a shower and fixes herself, she wears her yellow dress that makes her beauty stand out. She looks around before she goes out of the room, she walked towards Sergeant Herrera’s office and as she walked down the hallway every soldier she met she was given a red and white rose. She was very surprised, she wondered if Sergeant Herrera was planning this.
Until she could no longer handle the roses given to her, she stopped walking and looked around, she observes the people around her, but there is nothing strange all are busy with what they are doing and they no longer notice her she just wondered about why the roses that was given to her. A lady soldier come into her and invites to come with her at the Soldiers launch, a place that is forbidden to a civilian like her and only the soldiers can enter that place. She hesitated and wondered why she was invited to enter that Place.
“No. I’m okay here..I just look around and need some fresh air”. She smiled to the Lady Soldier.
“I insist. You belong here…I guess… The Lady soldier said.
“But, Why? She asked in surprise.
“I just want to show you around; any way you wanted to look around so it is your chance to see it, right?” The lady soldier is trying to convince her.
“Are you sure?” She asked again.
The Lady soldier just nods at her and still wondering why it suddenly came to her in fact, with the number of them only few she is known here and that is the soldiers often commanded by Sergeant Herrera. She convinces by the lady soldier and she comes to her at the Soldier launch. In a way, for the Soldier launch she had a feel strange feeling; she feels that there is something different that will happen. She wanted to ask the soldier why suddenly she invited her to come with her, but, then, she just keeps quiet and follow the way of the lady soldier.
“What is your name? “She asked the lady soldier.
“ I’m Amanda”. Amanda smiled at her. But you can call me Mandy see we can be friends. After all I have seen you here for so long.
She just nods and smiles too.
“Oh..I guess you know me?”
“Well, yes and I think Sergeant Herrera is in love with you. Amanda smiles again to her.
Her cheeks get redder from what Amanda says to her, how she can say that they are deeply in love with each other, is she would tell about the dinner and the kisses? She hides her smile and follows Amanda on the way at the Soldier launch.
Amanda stops for a while and look at her.
“ Are you ready to see everything what is inside of the Soldier launch?”
“ I guess so, but I think there’s no special on it, It just like a meeting hall..I guess.”
“Well, get ready for what you will see”.
Okay.” She feels nervous when Amanda opens the door. Something strange in Amanda’s movement, she doesn’t know, but she has a feeling that there is something to happen.
Amanda holds her hand, it was darker and music plays when they entered the Soldier launch and after a moment a little light sparkling inside the room it was like the stars that twinkling in the night sky.
“What is all about? She asked Amanda.
Amanda whispers at her and she gets shocked and feeling nervous right now, she is right to her feeling a while ago that there is something will happen. Amanda leaves her in the middle as she heard the music playing and the little lights gets bigger like an explosion or something like a fireworks.
“Amanda” she called to the Lady Soldier. Don’t leave me here.
But no sign of Amanda is coming, she just stands in the middle and waiting for what will happen next. The music stops that makes her rattled.
“Is anybody here? Don’t play a game with me okay”
She gets rattled and afraid when there is someone holding her hand. She feels that it's holding her tight, after of that moment she recognize who is holding her; it was Sergeant Herrera who gets close to her. The Sergeant touches her face and kisses her hand.
“What are you doing?” she asked the Sergeant while the tears running from her eyes.
The Sergeant holds her hand, and put it on his shoulder, Sergeant Herrera holds her waist and the music starts to play again.
“I just wanted to have a dance with you” The Sergeant touches her face again and wipes her tears.
“I don’t want to make you cry” the Sergeant pulls her closer and let her rest on his shoulder.
“What about the roses?” is that your idea too?
“Yeah, crazy idea…Because I’m crazy in love with you.”
The lights are on and she saw there was full of white and red roses inside the Soldier launch. She was surprised and she didn’t expect that the Sergeant does those things for her, her tears rolled because of the happy feeling and being surprised what had done by the Sergeant.
The Sergeant pulls her closer and gives her another buffet of red roses. She wipes her tears and gets the buffet of roses, this man can’t make her stop from crying because of the crazy things he done for her. She gets more surprise and shy too when she notices that there are soldiers too at the Soldier launch they are all cheering for Sergeant Herrera, she heard a whistle too and shouting to kiss her by the Sergeant. She got to smile at this time wondering that they are in the wedding.
“ I want to ask you something”? The Sergeant said to her that makes her heart beat faster.
“What is it?” she nervously asked the Sergeant.
“Would you like to be my girlfriend?”
She laughs loud, after all the kisses last night he still want the answer or maybe he didn’t get it. She nods to the Sergeant and smile at him.
All the Soldiers cheers for both of them and it seems that they are celebrating the happiness of them both.
They spent their time on the Soldier launch having lunch and drinking wine with the other soldier, after of that moment they walk along the camp and went to the North Simpkins Place to visit the children.
