LOVE IN MILITARY

Wright's POV I sat from Mr bob, his words hitting like a punch as always. " our men are held by the Zuda bandits. we need to find a way to get them out of those hands." The familiar scent of leather and worn boots filled the office, but my focus was on Zuda - a pit of rebels and no rules. " How many men?" I asked, voice steady. "Ten, including one of our high citizens." Mr bob said, his eyes hard. " captured during a simply run, we need to do something quickly." The clock in the wall ticked loud. " When are we going in?" I asked. Mr bob sighed as he stood up from the chair then he took the military tab. " Take this tab, find a way to get the bandits location before going in." Mr bob said roughly. " Okay sir." I said as I collected the tab. Mr bob finally sat down then gave me a straight face. " You're the one to lead the operation, wright." Mr bob said without blinking. I looked at him for a while without saying anything. I was still moved even though this was not the first time handling the military affairs. " Why, are you not coming with us, commander?" I asked. " I will, I'm getting older so I want you to lead. you've always done the military affairs well so I will trust you with this again." Mr bob replied. Mr bob really believed me. I will try my best in every part, I'll stay faithful to the military and the country. " You can go, find out their location as soon as possible so we can take a step." He lifted his chin. I stood up from the chair then saluted and went out of the office. I knew I had a lot to do before the next morning. That night, I was at the front of my room looking at the stars. My friend, lazzie appeared behind me. We have been friends for the past seven years and he has been my faithful friend. " Why are you outside here this late?" lazzie asked as he put his arms around my neck. I smiled without giving him an answer. " Ohh, the stars looks beautiful tonight, I hope I will always see it this way." Lazzie said softly. " What are you talking about?" I asked, looking at him. He finally let go of my neck then stood beside me. " What are you thinking about, I've been watching you for so long. What's on your mind?" Lazzie smiled as he asked. " Seriously, I was thinking about Terry." I said, looking at the sky. " Terry! Why are you thinking about him?" Lazzie asked with a voice mixed with surprise and disappointment. I looked at him, I knew I shouldn't have said that but that was really what I was thinking about. " I thought all the pledges we always recite will forever abide in his heart but I didn't know he will end up that way." I said slowly. Lazzie looked at me without saying a word but when I slightly looked at him in the dark, it was as if he was processing what to say next. " Get your acts together." Lazzie whispered. But....... " High boss, I know Terry is your first best friend but you know he is graspy and a betrayal to you and the country." He raised his voice. " Put your voice down, I won't think about him anymore." I said with my eyes closed a little. Lazzie patted my back then we forgot about the conversation. " Ohh, I miss my parents and most especially my girlfriend." He said. I knew he was going to say something. " Don't worry, we will go home soon." I chuckled. " Don't you get it, I said I missed my girlfriend." He looked at me. He wanted to get my attention and was trying to pass something to me again. " Won't you get a girlfriend? You will be thirty two years old next year." Lazzie said looking at me with his left eye." I knew he was going to say that again. " Lazzie, I will think about this in the next three years, what is on my mind now is just the military and our country." I said slowly. " Dont tell me you're still searching for your childhood sweetheart and I don't get what you just said, we all love our country but you can't marry the country." Lazzie uttered as he turned to face me fully. I shouldn't have told him anything, he'll keep pestering me forever if I don't find a solution. " I'll do something about it so let's forget about this." I whispered. " Faster than I expected or I will set you up on dates again." Lazzie looked at me firmly. " I will work on it, don't set me up with any other girls. I've never liked any of them and they it's wasting my precious break." I told him immediately. Lazzie chuckled and I could sense satisfaction on his face. " You should go in now." I said briefly. " Okay, since the day is over." He smiled. Lazzie walked back to his room. His room was not far from mine so I could view him from a distant. I went back to my room when lazzie was no longer in sight. I knew I had a lot of things to do before day breaks so I couldn't sleep immediately. ******************** Follow to see the next part of this interesting novel! Don't forget to like and message!
