Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 46

A few months have passed, almost a year.  Vania and Frans kept writing and replying to each other. Vania is a new student at the University of San Andreas. It's December, Christmas and the new year is coming. Before all that, Vania was excited to spend Christmas and the new year with Frans, but everything changed. Frans enjoyed himself in the army, he was wounded several times but was lucky enough to still survive during his stint in Lebanon. He made sure Vania and her mother didn't know, he didn't want them to worry. But, what Frans did not know was that they were both very worried about him every day. Frans also learns that Jonathan's wife has given birth during their time in charge and has a son. But it was too late to tell Jonathan all that, Jonathan was dead. Frans still does not believe in all that, Frans is very lucky because he can still be together while on duty.

"French! Come on, this way." Shouts Jonathan.

"Are we allowed to be like this?"

"No, but we have to survive somehow."

"So, what are we doing here?"

"Effort to survive."

"But shouldn't we protect this place from other countries?"

"Yes, but the missiles are crazy over there. We need to get everyone out of here."

"Too many people."

 

"Hurry up and get them out of here." There was a thud near us.

"What was that?"

"I don't know. Run!" Frans and Jonathan ran as fast as they could. Fortunately, they were successful before the missile collapsed.

"Almost just." Frans said gasping.

"Yes." Yeah."

THE SHOT!!

DORR!

DORR!!

"Jonathan!" he's shot. Two bullets hit Jonathan's chest and then fainted. Frans takes Jonathan's body and takes him to a deserted passageway where no one is around. He placed it gently on the floor. Jonathan coughed up blood. "Come, Jonathan. Get up don't go yet."

 

"Please, come to my wife when you get back. She's pregnant." Jonathan barely spoke.

"Jonathai. Hang on.” Tears formed in Frans' eyes.

"Take him for me." His eyes closed slowly.

"Jonathan! Don't leave me! Jonathan!" Already late. His eyes were closed and his heart was no longer beating. Nowow.

 

 

Frans was not happy, nor was she depressed. Jonathan is his best friend. After learning that Jonathan has a son, he is very happy. Had Jonathan been alive, he would have jumped for joy.

 

Dear Vania, please,

Just one more month! I can't wait to see you and my mom. I miss you guys so much. They said I was a great soldier and I just nodded. I'm just protecting the country, doesn't mean it doesn't make me a great soldier. By the way! Happy new year. I'm sorry, I'm still not there to celebrate with you. Keep having fun. I'm sorry this letter isn't too long; I'm dying to see you. I love you, Vania. See you around.

"All right, soldiers. This is our last day here. You guys did a great job. I know you all want to go home and see your family and friends. We'll meet again soon. You guys are too many. We'll miss you guys. I wish I could see the same face immediately." Said Captain. Frans smiled. He can't wait anymore.. The entire lounge was full of soldiers to celebrate their farewell party.

 

"Hi Captain." Said Frans. The captain looked at her and returned to the stage.

"Hey, son."

"This year has passed so quickly."

"really. Are you coming back?"

"You kidding? I like it here. Of course I'll be back."

"You're a good soldier." She smiles.

"Thank you, Captain."

"I know you can't believe what happened, son, but do it." The captain walked away. Frans stared at the stage. He'll miss this place. It was his second home. Before he knew it, it was morning and he was already on the plane back. He remained silent throughout the journey. As they landed, all the soldiers said goodbye and ran to their families and friends. Frans ran out and stopped, looking at the people.

 

"French!" He heard Vania screaming. He looked at her like and saw Vania like the world had stopped. People rushed past Frans, but the only thing he saw was Vania. Vania couldn't stand it anymore, she ran towards Frans. Frans puts down his bag and catches it as Vania lands in his arms. His grip tightened on his waist and he closed his eyes.

 

"I miss you so much."

"I am too." Only then did Frans see Vania crying.

"I don't want to let go of this hug."

"I won't let go either" They kept hugging each other for 5 minutes. Then they let go of each other and Frans took her bag and held onto Vania's hand.

"Where's my mom?"

 

"She, um, I'll show you." Vania frowned. He did not want this day to be destroyed so quickly. Frans noticed Vania's wrinkles. He knew that Vania was trying to hide something. They started walking to Vania's car.

"I miss you." He's holding her hand.

"I am too." Frans put his bag in the trunk. He went towards Vania and pushed her gently into the car. Frans looked into his eyes.

"I really want to do this." Frans kissed. Vania quickly kissed back. Frans's hand held Vania's face and Vania coiled her hand around her waist. After that, the two gasped. They smiled at each other and got into the car.

"This is a new car?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I like it." Vania started driving. Frans knows he's nervous. He stopped in the hospital parking lot. "Van, why are we going here?" Vania remained silent and got out of the car. He did the same thing. "Vania?"

"Follow me." They went into the hospital and Frans followed them all the way to the second floor. They stopped right in front of a door.

"Vans. Why are we here?"

"There's something you should know." Vania opened the door. Frans gulped.

"Mom?" Eyes widened.
