Chapter 23After they shared their first kiss, both of them were staring at each other with Matin placing both his hands on the counter and trapped Sofiah.She was still flustered at his sudden kiss and unable to think straight. Her heart was beating so fast and she could barely breathe.“W-W-What was that?” Finally, she found her voice to speak out.He caressed her cheek with a smile and replied, “That's called a kiss. Or we call our first kiss.”She blinked a few times looking blankly at the floor. Then, she realised that he had stolen her first kiss.“Do you like it?” he asked, cautiously.She looked up at him and blurted out, “I never dreamed of having a first kiss in the kitchen.”He chuckled when he realised that she was unhappy with the location of their first kiss.“Then, where are we supposed to have a first kiss in your dream? Is it in the bed?” he asked with a naughty grin.She shrugged
Chapter 24 When Matin walked back inside the house after sending the squad, he saw Sofiah was sleeping soundly on the couch in the living room.He gently picked her up bridal style and went to their room. He put her on the bed and lay down beside her. Suddenly, Sofiah turned around and hugged him. He was slightly shocked and his breath started turning from normal to heavy.She was laying her head over his chest comfortably. His heart was beating so fast at their closeness.He let out a big sigh and said, “Fiya, you made it hard for me to control myself. Oh, God! Please help me go through this night without doing anything to her.”He took a deep breath to calm his heart. He kissed the top of her head before forcing himself to sleep.In the morning, Sofiah was cleaning their room when Matin walked inside and said, “I made breakfast for you.”She was slightly taken aback and asked, “Huh? What did you make?” 
Chapter 25The local hospitals were damaged and victims were treated outside of the hospital. Their medical team was placed in two different affected areas to treat the victims. Meanwhile, the military team helped the local authority to clean the debris and search and rescue efforts.Matin who was on his way to the affected area stopped by the medical camp for a visit.“What brings you here, Captain?” Nurse Aminah asked when she saw Matin walked inside the camp without prior notice.“I'm just checking. Is everything okay?” he asked, his eyes were searching for Sofiah.“Everything is good here,” Nurse Aminah answered with a teasing smile, realising that his main intention was to meet his wife.Then, he spotted Sofiah who was treating a patient.He turned to look at Nurse Aminah and said, “Make sure to report me if anything happens. I don't want any of you to fall into trouble. Do you copy that?”“Copy, Sir.”
Chapter 26“Let my daughter get the treatment first if you don't want to get killed!” the man said, threatening Sofiah with a knife on her throat.The others gasped at the threat.Calm down, Fiya. Sofiah was trying to keep calm so that she could think about the escape plan.“Put your knife down! If not, we will shoot!” a soldier shouted while aiming a gun at him.“If you shoot me, I will kill this doctor!” the man yelled.“Don't shoot! Bring his daughter inside,” she gave a command to the soldiers.A soldier brought the child inside and placed her on the patient bed. She was in great pain.“Maria, please check the girl,” Sofiah said, swallowing hard.“A-Alright,” Lieutenant Maria stuttered as she was scared.“Can you release me now? We're checking your daughter.” Sofiah tried to persuade the man.“Not until she's treated,” he replied, holding her tightly.Sofiah knew she
Chapter 27 “Lieutenant, as you can see, we are overwhelmed by the injured victims. We don't have enough doctors to perform this surgery. I hope you can help us,” Doctor Adit explained.Sofiah looked around the emergency room and she could see a lot of patients in the room.“But I'm here as a humanitarian team, not to perform any surgeries,” she replied, looking concerned.“I can't leave this emergency room. Can you help us?” he asked her again.Sofiah thought for a while about all the consequences before answering him.At last, she replied, “I can, but I need an approval letter from your upper officer.”He smiled and said, “Alright. I can handle the letter. It will take only a few minutes. Now, help me to keep an eye on the patients for a while.”“Alright.”She was staring blankly at the floor when she heard a familiar voice called her name.“Sofiah!” Matin was running towards her.She
Chapter 28It had been a week after coming back from Indonesia. Today, Sofiah was not working since she had been on call last night until this morning.After cooking for dinner, she walked inside the office room to clean up. But then, she found a box owned by Matin. She was curious and opened it.Surprisingly, there were a lot of sticky notes inside the box. The most shocking part was those sticky notes were her handwriting.She was in complete shock and suddenly, she recalled back the old memories.FlashbackBack in Ireland“Sofiah, someone gave this porridge to you.” One of her friends, Bella gave porridge to her.“Who?” Sofiah asked.Bella shrugged her shoulders and replied, “He said he's your friend and there is a note inside. I have a class now. See you.”“Alright. See you.”She took a look at the note from the mystery person.Note: ‘Hi. I know you're not feeling w
Chapter 29Sofiah performed CPR again.“Please!!!! Please!!!! Please!!!!”“Lieutenant,” a soldier called her.“He can't leave me! He can't!” she said while crying.She performed CPR over and over.But still no response.He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating.Sofiah was exhausted after performing CPR.Another soldier approached her and said,“Lieutenant, he has been drowning for quite some time. I’m so sorry to say this, but I think you should stop.”She couldn't believe that he left her. She was crying hard while hugging him.“You promised me that you won't leave me. You can't leave me like this. You can’t.”Everyone was keeping their mouth shut.“I love you, Matin. Please wake up. I need you to hear this. I love you so much. Don't leave me.”“Lieutenant,” a soldier held her shoulder, trying to calm her.She performed mouth
Chapter 30“Real wife?” Matin asked, looking at Sofiah in confusion.She was biting her lower lip in nervousness and said, “I know I'm not a good cook, I’m always busy with work, I'm not good with kids. But I'm willing to learn just for you.”He chuckled after hearing those words from her. “You know, I want a wife, not a maid. And for me, you're perfect,” he replied, placing back the paper on the table.She shyly asked, “So, what do you say? Do I get the job?”“You're my wife, now and forever. So, what do you want actually? What is the purpose of this resume?” he asked, still confusing.“Yeah, I'm your wife on paper. But I'm ready to be more than that. You know, umm something like married couples does,” she said, biting her lower lip.He chuckled while shutting his laptop down. Then, he stood up from his seat and walked closer to her. He gently lifted her chin so she met his eyes.“Say it again, w
