Chapter 5

'Apologize?! How can she apologize to the person who embarrassed her? To the person who told her that her voice was ugly and he could no longer taste the food?! 'She shuddered suddenly as she remembered all the scenes. Until she got home to them that was the content of her mind. She was still angry and added to how she felt what had happened earlier.

"That should just be him!" she said angrily.

She slumped on her bed. She was bored again when she remembered the disaster that Gida had done to her earlier. Annoyed she turned to her pillow and punched it. There she turned to the frustrations she was feeling. When she calmed down, she decided to take a bath to refresh her brain and body. She needs to relax. The other day she was already stressed.

She wore black jogging pants with pink lines on both sides. She was wearing a plain white t-shirt. After she dried her hair, she peeked outside. It was a bit dark, yet she had to get rid of her frustrations. She decided to go out and go to the field where the big mango tree was. That is believed to be a matchmaker. When its fresh leaves fall off, it means there are two people who are destined to each other. They’ll cross paths and soon will be tied in matrimony. She does not believe that. This is just your nonsense. Because honestly, she has no belief in love.

She left her room and met Gida in the living room. It smiled awkwardly at her.

"Sistah..."

"Letse, don't talk to me!" his language is stable.

(Letse- a kind of swearing but in spanish it means milk. So I guess, its just an expression that we adapted)

She passed it and went straight to the door. She went out and went straight to the field. She stood in front of the trunk of the tree and stared at it for a long time. She sighed a few times to calm herself. She needs to calm down the anger she feels.

Meanwhile... Dreaming that Venom is running towards his Captain. Their opponents fired bullets at that moment. Every time he encounters, he shoots. They are helping some groups of refugees cross the border. He crawled and immediately sided with Captain John Mason. It hides on the side of a tree covered with thick bush.

"Are you all right, Captain?!" he asked breathlessly.

The old man smiled at him.

"Don't worry kid, guess it's a veteran. "

Venom looked at his body. He was stunned when he saw some bullet wounds to his Captain's body. He looked at the opponents. They are close to where their tank is. Their comrades were busy fighting. He was about to cover his Captain's wounds with a cloth but it stopped him. He looked at his face in surprise.

"Captain!" he protested emphatically.

"Venom, n-no need. I'm old."

"Stop it, old man!" his annoyed language.

Captain John Mason was considered his father. He idolizes it. And he will never allow it to disappear. His Captain was a strong man.

"Listen, soldier. I will seize the mortars of the enemies and I will settle them after that, they will be distracted and their attention will be on me. Take every opportunity to knock down the turtle (their code name in the tank), throw a lot of pineapple (grenade) after you kill your machine gunner on top of him. "

He blinked after hearing his plan.

"That's S-Suicide, Captain!" he strongly objected.

"There is no other way for us to weaken them. One more thing, reinforcement is coming!"

"I'll get the mortar!" his present.

Captain John violently grabbed the collar of his clothes. Its stares were fixed on him. He secretly clenched his right fist. He already knew this, he knew he would not hold back.

"Listen, Venom! Of the two of us, you are the agile one because you are young, you can do the tank knocking. It's just me, the one who will take the mortar to use that against them and get their attention."

"A-Are you committing suicide?!" Venom said in surprise.

"Yes! My life just doesn't matter compared to so many people we need to save. Do you understand?!"

Venom's tears welled up in that moment.

"You life is matter to me! You are my father! You are my father..."

The expression on Captain John's face softened. He took a deep breath and stared at his face. But...

"Let's make the plan! Venom, you should live. That's an order!"

Before he could calm down he quickly stood up and ran towards the opponent. Subsequent events blurred his vision until...

Venom sighed as he opened his eyes. He wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his face and several times sighed to calm himself. He dreamed of that again. The most painful event in his life. He was only sixteen years old then and that was the first time he went to war. Right, he was only sixteen when he first killed and experienced the brutality of war. He smiled bitterly as he remembered Captain John Mason — the man he considered his father. Which is why he wanted to be a doctor. That was his dream for him. Alas, it was no longer by his side when he reached that thing. He did not include it in the fulfilment of their dream. Hopefully, wherever it is now it will make him proud.

He got up from lying down and went straight to the bathroom. He fell asleep without realizing it. He took off his clothes and then turned on the shower. He felt relieved when he was drenched in warm water. He was grabbed by the bathroom wall and suddenly thought...

All dreams of Captain John for him, he has fulfilled. He has nothing more needed in his life. But, he was still not happy. There was something missing from him that he could not find. He did not know what that was.

He was stunned when the face of the woman who had rushed at him earlier entered his brain. He suddenly smiled and shook his head. He could clearly see her beautiful face even though she was angry.

"Impossible..." he said suddenly.

He hastened to take a bath. He had to see that woman. Anyway, Rock and him already made a report. It is possible that the kidnapped children of that group were being taken to the mountains. They will make a plan to get the location of the place. They had earlier sent to the Men in Action the map containing possible spots. They will coordinate with Scout Ranger Siegfried Acosta to guide them to the mountains.

After he got dressed he immediately took the telescope of his gun. He went to the window and sat down in front. He looked at possible spots where he could see his target. He hovered around the house but it was not there. He sighed violently and he seemed to feel heavier when he could not see it. Where is that beautiful woman?

He rotates his telescope around and for a moment he whistles. Suddenly he felt light and his heart beat faster. He could not understand but he felt excitement.

"Bingo, baby. I got you. It's time for me to introduce myself to you." he grinned mischievous.

Meanwhile... Abby couldn't stand it anymore, she was really shivering and the weight of her hands. Punching her pillow earlier was not enough to ease what she feels. She clenched her right fist firmly and quickly punched the trunk of the tree. She deeply regretted that she did that thing. She was also the one who was hurt.

"SHIT!" she crispy cheap.

She quickly wiped her hand and she writhed in pain. She bent down in no time and tears rolled down her cheeks. She bit his lip so hard to stop her from screaming. It hurts! She think her bones in her hand were broken! If she wasn’t that stupid?!

"Looks like you were injured there ah?Can I look at that, huh? "
