Be My Soldier Forever

Ep. 9

Alex could only grin. Anastasya could also see her cheeks blushing.

"tell me," he began, looking curious," how did you take the key? That key feeling is only in the doctor?"

"Ooh," he smiled guiltily, "I disguised myself as a doctor and hit him. When he fell I helped him and I finally took the key that was lying on the floor."

The brown-eyed girl remained shocked by what she had just heard.

"Huh?" Anastasya flinched, "that, but did he not recognize you?"

"no," he said triumphantly, "i'm wearing a surgical mask that I found somewhere."

Anastasya looked at him with a gaping mouth. This man's abilities surpassed everything he could think of. He's really good at getting his work done, in an amazing way.

"don't look so surprised!" Alex patted him on the shoulder, "I know that's not true, ok!"

"OK," Anastasya laughed, "but that's impressive."

Alex shrugged with a grin and an atmosphere of silence swallowed the two of them. It was a quiet silence, not with an addiction. Anastasya felt that she could stay by his side, without even saying anything. It felt....

"Do you think I'll be okay one day?" Alex suddenly asked a question with a hopeful face.

"Yes, of course, trust the power of God. We'll both recover someday." Anastasya assures him, "we're going through all this, don't worry."

Ding! Dongg!!!

"That's a giant clock. It's time to go."

"alright then, see you again my friend," Anastasya winked at him as she stood up and was about to leave, she suddenly felt warm on his arm. He looked up and saw Alex holding it.

"Where are you going?" Alex asked in a sad tone, "it's good to talk to you."

"It's nice talking to you, too, Alex." Anastasya.

'What kind of strange feeling is this?' said in Anastasya's heart, 'ah no! Don't say that. Stupid fool!'

Anastasya decided to put the incident just now in her mind and forget about it.

"It's time for therapy. I also have to do some physical exercise. This will help me feel better. You will also follow some therapy to feel better later," Anastasya explained to him as she took a deep breath, "so, we'll see you later?"

"Oh, yeah. Ok!" Alex nodded, looking unhappy

"me see you."

"Bye bye."

Since that day, Alex and Anastasya have had a great friendship. They always hang out together, eat together and he also fights with other patients together.

It was rainy season and all the patients were sitting in the dining hall and saw the rain slowly coming down from outside the window.

"I have to sit next to you, I mean next to Alex as usual" Anastasya thought to herself with a smile. He felt that his place to eat was always next to him.

"Yoo Anastasiya!" Anastasya looked towards the back.

One of the patients threw a cake on his face. He knew that he really looked stupid with cream slipping on his cheek. How humiliating! In a moment, everyone started laughing at him.

Alex seemed surprised by the patient's behavior and within a second Alex stood up and pulled the man's collar.

"You think you can hurt him! How dare you, *****." Alex shouted furiously, "you don't even have the right to touch a single strand of his hair, do you understand? huh!"

Her last words left Anatasya motionless. Alex is overprotective, for him. No one ever protected him.

The doctors deployed themselves around the two men and they managed to pull Alex with great difficulty.

"take him into the isolation room" one of them said that.

"no!" Anastasya shouted, "Don't do that!"

Very late, Alex was taken away. Anastasya felt his heart ache when Alex was dragged away. And he could not see her in trouble, or in pain.

" Alex." whispered as Anatasya felt her heart break.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine." One of the nurses said to her calmly, "Now, Anastasya your doctor is calling you. He's in his room."

"Well," Anastasya nodded as she made it out of the hall and headed for Jason's doctor's office.

As soon as he broke inside, Anastasya cried...

"Doctor, they took Alex, I mean Alex into the isolation room. Help u! You have to do something. Alex doesn't like it when he's there. He told me he was frustrated if he was there. Please, do something. I can't...."

"Anastasya, stop!" Doctor Jason said in a calm tone.

He looked a little surprised.

"relax, don't worry. I'll talk to the doctor." He said patiently.

"okay!" anastasya whispered with a deep breath, wiping away her tears.

"You really care about him, don't you?" the doctor asked her with a comforting smile.

"Yes. I want him to be better. I, care deeply for him," Anastasya nodded. "but is it only the sense of care I feel towards him? Or there's something else, something I'm afraid of." Anastasya thought down.

"he'll get better, don't worry," the doctor smiled, "but I called you here because I have good news for you."

"really? What'sthat?" Anastasya asked a little confused.

"Are you ready?" he grinned as he rubbed his palm, "okay it's big news, you're leaving the hospital tomorrow. Yeah, you're finally healthy back Anastasya. Congratulations you're improving now."

"what?" whispering in shock, he felt suddenly dizzy from shock. But, that's good news.

"i'm cured?" Anastasya asked with a big smile, tears welling her eyes.

"absolutely reckless," the doctor nodded, "the report showed a positive result. You'll still have to take your medicine and attend some checkups for a few weeks, but there's nothing to worry about you getting home tomorrow."

He could no longer stem so much happiness, Anastasya had to take it out. So, he jumped up and down and he laughed happily.

"It's the best day of my life, I've been cured." Anastasya thought happily.

The doctor chuckled when he saw her jump like that cheerfully, but Anastasya suddenly came to a halt. Alex, he was suddenly thinking how could he leave her.

There was also another worry in his head that was much more important. How could he live without her. And that statement made him hurt.
