Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 33

Anastasya sighed. What could have happened if he had only stayed here a little longer with her, he decided to put all the doubts in his mind and just spend time with her. He nodded and hugged her. Anastasya was still in his lap. They stay that way for a few minutes. Anastasya then started stroking her hair.

“Your hair started to grow,” whispered as she felt strands starting to reach her neck.

“hmm.” Alex makes a sound, weaves his fingers together.

Anastasya looked at him, Alex's eyes closed. He enjoyed this moment. He looks cute, he thought. Very cute, Anastasya leaned over and kissed her cheek which made Alex open her eyes.

“wait unexpected,” Alex smiles.

“Ya, the. sorry” anastasya blushed in shame.

Alex looked at his face with a smile before becoming serious again. Did Anastasya do anything wrong? Before Anastasya asked him something, Alex stood up and held Anastasya.

“hei, where are you taking me?” anastasya came in and stopped in front of his room.

“no,” anstasya immediately said, “ini is a bad idea.”

“actually I want to tell you that you are very heavy,” Alex said and both laughed.

“you're stupid,” Anastasya shouted, but kept laughing.

Alex looked at the bedroom, impressed.

“well, if you want we can...”.

“No! Out!” anastasya with a big smile.

“With you, in my hands?”

“Don't put me down, then go!”

“Boost sleep?” alex grinned.

“No! Well on the floor. Let me stand!”

“OK,” alex chuckles and lets him go.

Anastasya was now standing in front of him.  “Already night. I have to go home,” alex said in a more serious tone, “I will see you tomorrow.”

“OK..” Anastasya smiled, “good night.“

Alex pulled her towards him and buried her face in his neck, and whispered :

“you must say good night, my soldier.”

“Sure.” Anastasya twisted it and chuckled, her breath and lips touching her skin tickling her,

“good night, soldier.”

“Where are the soldiers?” Alex asked authoritatively, “hmm, where's that word?”

“She was tired, and went to bed.” Anastasya laughed, knowing that he was just playing around with her.

“I want you to call that word!” Alex said in a rude voice as he started tickling Anastasya.

Anastasya laughed loudly in his arms, trying to get out of his arms, but failed.

“OK, okay good night, my preview,”

“Goodbye,” Alex smiled and let go of his embrace.

different than when Alex came to meet him.

“Thank you, alex.” Anastasya whispered, “thank you for making me forget my sorrow.”

“sama-asama anastasya ku,” whispered with a wink.

Anastasya went out with him to say goodbye. He left with a happy smile and Anastasya went to sleep with a happy smile as well.

Meanwhile, at Alex's house..

“dad, I really doubt. We have to talk seriously about this,” whine herry when she enters her father's office, “just shoot the woman.”

“Don't quickly conclude, son.” His father suggested and signaled to his son to sit. “and his name is anastasya.”

“whatever,” murmur herry slowly.

“now I want you to tell me where you met Clara and why she can come with you?” his father asked in a serious voice.

“she met me in surabaya and told me about alex's disgusting behavior!” answer herry, “I don't

believe my brother can be so stupid! I'm actually ashamed of him!”

Samuel locked his son's eyes for a while before repeating some of his words with a frown, “Pity.. you don't even know what you are

say.”

“I know very well what I said,” herry raised her voice a little, “I know everything.”

“Oh really?” his father said cynically, a bit of anger in his voice, “then I think you know that your brother has been in psychiatric care for a few weeks before, <TAG1>then I think you know that your brother has been in a mental hospital for a few weeks, the doctors did not know what to do to cure him and the only person who helped him every day during the difficult phase of his life was Anastasya.”

Herry's jaw dropped the next time his eyes became wide.

“And I also thought you knew that Clara left when she found out that Alex was mentally ill, no, no, let me use the right words, leave her! And alex? He asked us on the first day we came to see him in the hospital! Only Dad knows how to explain to her that Clara doesn't exist! Her heart was broken when she found out about it!”

“What.. father.. what are you...” herry stuttered. He looks very confused.

Herry did not know what to think, said what and he suddenly felt very guilty.

“But, dad when did all this happen? Why wasn't I told about this?” he asked, the pain in his voice.

“Alex doesn't want you to worry,” his father said in a calm tone.

“aku oldest sister!” she screamed, her eyes were red, “ my brother entered in the asylum and I don't even know.”

“we did not have time to visit him regularly and everyone was worried about him, then when he came back, he told us about Anastasya, who remained willing to stay in the hospital even though he was recovering, just to help your brother get better.” His father explained.

Herry stared in front of him, but he saw nothing. He was drowning in a sea of regret.

“i don't know if the two children are in love here.” Her father said, “but as I know, Anastasya takes care of Alex like everyone else. Dad doesn't feel like he has a problem if they fall in love. Clara disappears when she hears about Alex's circumstances. Clara could have contacted Alex by phone or even by mail but, in fact, she didn't care at all. Even to visit Alex was never.”

“But he's more willing"leave him,” whispered Herry, "and come here like nothing happened.”

After a small silence, "How could I be this stupid. I have to apologize to him. I also have to apologize to his family

for acting like this with their daughter!” Herry.

“Anastasya lives alone,” Her father explained to her sadly, “dia an orphan.”
