BLACK SUN

4

A person blooms where he is happy, I was happy here. Because I was doing the job I fell in love with, the only problem was that Bora was trying to pluck my leaves. After getting up early in the morning, Caner and I came to the headquarters after having our breakfast. While Caner was going to the colonel, I went to the dressing room. I arrived a little earlier than the others, so I took off my sweater and hung it in the closet. After straightening my bralette, I took off my trousers and put on my camouflage trousers, and when the door opened, Hakan Bora Giray and Mert entered in turn. I took my green shirt from the hanger and looked at the others, Hakan was looking at me in surprise.

"Sorry, sir, when I get used to it like that..." he lowered his eyes. I pulled my t-shirt over my head and tucked it into my pants, while I was putting on my shirt, I turned my eyes to Hakan again.

"It's okay Hakan, you'll get used to it." After buttoning up my shirt, I threw in my necklace, closed my locker and sat on the bench behind me. Others had begun to put on their clothes.

"Commander, I swear, yesterday's dessert was very good. I've never eaten anything like that in my life, I'll send the recipe to my mom and she'll make it again when she comes. I wonder what the name of the dessert was." said Giray excitedly. I was tightening the rope of my boots.

"Commander, well done to you, it was really great." said Mert, joining Giray. After I had finished tightening the rope on my boots, I stood up.

"Why are you bothering your mother, Giray, I'll do it whenever you want." Gray looked at me excitedly.

"Are you serious sir?" I looked at Giray as if to say what do you think. "Commander, God sent you to us, I told you to my mother yesterday. He prayed a lot and he will wrap you up and send you." I looked at him with a grin and walked out of the room towards my room. I watered the flowers in the room, arranged the documents on my desk, and placed them on Bora's desk, just then the door opened and Bora came in. The files on his desk caught my attention, with my name on it. Bora was frowning at me, and I opened the cover of the file and looked inside.

"What are you doing?" said Bora in his serious voice, why was he going through my file?

"May I ask why you're reviewing my file?" Angrily he took the file in front of me and put it in his drawer.

"This is none of your business." he said sternly, I frowned like him.

"You're reviewing my file, first lieutenant, it's a confidential file." He turned to me and bent over me.

"You're on my team and I'm going to find out who you are, I don't care what the colonels decide. I'm going to learn what makes you so important." I laughed sarcastically, the man who yesterday tried to warn me about speaking right to his superior was today disobeying the colonels' orders.

"There's a reason if it's kept secret, and it's none of your business." squinted his eyes.

"Who are you, Lyre?" There wasn't much distance between us, we were both stubborn goats.

"Why are you so interested, sir?" he laughed sarcastically.

"You were recruited into my team to find out who's hiring you, and I'm babysitting a woman I don't know." I clenched my fist hard as my eyebrows furrowed.

"Why can't you accept that I came here by my own right and not by torpedo? Yes, I'm a woman, but I don't want you to babysit me. Why does being a woman bother you so much?" He slammed his hand on the table.

"You still don't understand, life is not rosy as you know. Have you ever been hungry and thirsty for a week on the mountain? We stay on the mountain for days and weeks without taking a bath, those bastards will not pity you because you are a woman, Lir, on the contrary, they will try to touch you, they will try to hurt you the most. "Have you ever slept with anyone before, Lir? Being on my team means I have extra trouble and protect you more." I came here knowingly accepting these facts, it hurt me when the facts hit me again. I avoided him so he wouldn't see me as my eyes filled with tears.

"You're right, first lieutenant, but... I'm conscious of that. I don't need you to protect me, I've taken care of myself all my life. I can take care of myself now, and you can be sure I won't do anything to endanger you or the others." As I was about to leave, he grabbed my wrist and turned me towards him.

"You don't understand, Lir, if one of the team gets hurt, the others get hurt too. And you're our weakest link, because you're a woman and they'll hurt you first when we're ambushed. They're going to hurt you the most." I looked into his eyes as tears streamed down my cheeks. My turquoise eyes, which turned to navy blue, were in his green eyes, at that moment I realized how well green and blue go together.

"I am valuable for my country, my commander, no one can hurt me physically. Only the people I love can hurt me. I came here accepting everything. I left everything behind, my loved ones, my family.. death does not scare me." As the feeling of regret mixed with admiration passed through his eyes, I freed my wrist from his hand and wiped my tears with the back of my hands. I pointed to my file. "I don't know why it's hidden, but that's the order." I got the file from the drawer. I needed some air when I left the room, so before I put the file down, I went to the air vent, calmed down a bit, and secretly put the file in the colonel's room. Being in the same room with Bora was the last thing I wanted for now, so instead of going to my room, I went to the break room next to Hakan Mert and Giray. While Hakan and Giray were playing backgammon, Mert was playing on his phone. When I entered the room, they all tried to stand up, but I signaled them to sit down. I sat next to Giray and Hakan and started watching them.

"What's wrong, sir, you're in a bad mood this morning." said Giray implicitly, I rolled my eyes.

"We had a little chat with the dementor in the military, and also... mind your game." Hank looked at me as the three of them laughed.

"Well, you've messed with the last person you need to mess with, sir, won't you please? Giray can't play anyway, maybe you'll be a little more cheerful." Giray looked at me and laughed sarcastically.

"You don't have a chance against my Commander Hakan.. although you don't know normal backgammon, play girl backgammon..." I looked at Giray so much that he had to keep quiet.

"I'll show you the girls' backgammon now, Giray, you can't play anyway, get out of there." Giray got up from his chair in panic and looked at me, I sat across from Hakan. Mert also came to our other side.

"Commander... are you sure? Don't get into the game you're going to lose, I don't think anyone can beat Hakan in this game." I looked at Han in surprise.

"Anyone?" Hakan put his hand on the back of his neck and nodded in approval.

"Everybody except the first lieutenant Bora, even the Colonel Yigit lost." I grinned and started to line up the scales, he didn't stand a chance against me. Because cloud taught us how to play backgammon and I was very good at this game. I extended my hand to Hakan.

"Then get ready to be Mars, my dear Hakan, because I learned this game from your master." they were all laughing with delight, I rolled the one dice. It was 6 from the first hand, and when Hakan rolled the dice, it was 5, so I was the first to start the game. After about 10 minutes, I was ahead with a high score difference and Hakan had not collected any points until now. Mert and Giray were cheering me up excitedly, I got up excitedly, rolled my last dice, put my checkers back, closed the backgammon and tucked it under Hakan's arm. "Now you've lost to two people, my dear Hakan." Then I turned to the others. "This pride is ours." Bora cleared her throat as all three of them laughed, and Bora's gaze was on me as we all turned our attention to the direction the sound came from.

"I'm spoiling your mood, but everyone be on the shooting range in 5 minutes." Giray looked at me excitedly while we all approved of Bora.

"I wish we had a bet, I should have made this moment unforgettable." While poking Mert Giray, we all left the room and started walking towards the shooting range at the back of the military. While Bora and Hakan were walking side by side, Giray and Mert were coming after us. When we went outside, the cold air made me cold, so we went to the shooting range behind the military. We couldn't shoot with our own gun, because every month was counted, so we would shoot with a training gun. Before the guns in front of me, I took the master gun and checked it, when I looked at the target, Bora was sending the target papers the farthest.

"I want you to shoot while moving. Everyone has 2 shots. The best shot wins. Ladies priority." While the targets were in motion, I shot the targets without looking, without taking my eyes off Bora. It was enough for me to look at the targets once, when I switched to the other weapon, I left the pistol in my hand. I took the other long-barreled gun and looked through the scope, the targets were speeding up. After hitting the target twice, I switched to other weapons in turn, when all the weapons were finished, Bora brought the targets closer to us. There was a huge hole in the forehead of the targets, I was only able to hit the target in the chest with the last gun. I never missed, Bora took the papers out and put them aside and nodded to Hakan. After everyone shot, Bora compared all of our shots, of course Giray's shots were better than all of us. Others were fine too, but I was the one who hit the forehead the most, Bora looked at me. "You're 2nd." I took the principality gun and handed it to Bora, there were 3 bullets in it.

"Let's see you too, lieutenant." he squinted his eyes and laughed sarcastically, took the gun in my hand, activated the target and hit the targets without looking like I did. When he switched to other weapons, his shots were really good, I think he shot better than Giray. I made a gesture to show that I was impressed.

"Tea is on me today." We all looked at the owner of the voice behind us, Caner came to us with a tea tray in his hand. We all took our teas from the tray, the hot tea warmed us up in the cold weather. Caner grinned at me and took out one of my favorite raspberry chocolates from his pocket. These chocolates were only produced in France, I excitedly took the chocolates from her hand and popped one into my mouth. As the chocolate melted in my mouth, I closed my eyes and experienced the pleasure of its taste. Smiling, I opened my eyes and handed the chocolates to the others. Except for Bora, they all bought chocolates.

"Where did you find these?" Caner grinned and scratched his neck.

"It sent an echo, you handed out the last parcel to the children." I chuckled and popped another chocolate into my mouth. "He sent 2 parcels in case he needed it when he went into operation, he will bring it again when he comes." I looked at him excitedly.

"Did he say when he would come?" He shook his head, Echo would never tell when he would arrive. Usually he would suddenly come and surprise me, I bit my lip and took a sip of my tea.

"You know, it always comes suddenly." Others also loved chocolate, I usually put it in my mouth to sweeten my mouth during the operation.

"Are the four of you childhood friends?" said Hakan curiously, not knowing Giray and Mert Yankı and Ceren. In fact, he did not know Bora and Hakan Yankı, but Caner had told them yesterday. Caner shook his head, we were cousins, not friends.. I mean, we were actually friends, but we called everyone our cousins. Caner took me under his arm and messed up my hair, I put my elbow hard on his stomach and took the hairpin out of my hair. Bora's eyes were in my hair, I looked at Caner with a frown.

"Hold on properly, I'll get it under my feet now." Caner grinned and pinched my nose.

"You will, sir." I rolled my eyes, finished my tea, and held the empty glass in his hand. After the others finished their tea, we all entered the military, while Caner went to his post, we went to our room. Hakan Mert and Giray also retired to the rest rooms, I had a lot of work to do.

"Being this close to your weak spot will hurt you and us too." I looked at Bora without understanding, apparently it would hurt me again.

"Who is my weak spot, lieutenant? Who will you slander?" He looked at me, frowning, nervously clenching the pencil in his hand.

"You work in the same place as your girlfriend, Lir, you live in the same house... don't you think even that much weakens you?" He thought Caner was my girlfriend. I let out a sigh of relief, showing that I was bored.

"I won't try to prove myself to you, first lieutenant, but since you speak so clearly, you can punish me for my first mistake, you can have me dismissed if necessary." He looked at me for a long time, and I took my eyes off him and went back to my work. I was going to mislead him, I wouldn't care if he blamed me as much as he wanted. I was tired of explaining myself and I didn't care how he understood it. If necessary, I would not have heard of Caner and I would not explain the truth to him.
