"So, tell me, why are you pushing me to court Sonia?" he asked while we are taking the road to Sonia's mansion."I told you, I'm saving your asses from a miserable fate. Thank me later." I looked at him.There's a hint of shock in his eyes that made me laugh so hard. I totally forgot that I'm in the generation where women are angels. He was probably surprised hearing me talked like that."Who are you, lady? Why do you spoke like that? If someone hears you, they will think you grew up in the street," he said. I rolled my eyes."I always talk like that and there's nothing wrong with it. You are overreacting, man!" I playfully smacked his hard stomach. Oh, the abs!Stop it, Aliyah! You are a noble nurse and that not the first time you saw a naked body, you saw more than that. It is not supposed to be a big deal."Aliyah!""Aliyah, what?!" I shouted in shock. I immediately covered my mouth and looked around."Why are you shouting?"

In the whole day, I just stayed in Dela Fuentes' house, helping them do some errands. I spent most of my time thinking about how I could help Henry fall in love with Sonia without actually falling in love with me. I am not dumb nor blind to not notice how Henry stated his feelings for me. He even kissed me!It so impossible that he already has romantic feelings for me. We barely know each other, and we can't be together. I will leave this place soon; I miss my family already. I can't be attached to this place; I do not belong here. This is all just temporary."What happened to your stuff?" Cristel asked me when we finished cleaning her room."We already met Sonia and she agreed on Henry's proposal," I answered.She gasped. "What? They are getting married?!" she exclaimed."What? No, silly! Henry will court Sonia, first. I am looking forward to their marriage, though." I smiled.Cristel looked at me with curious eyes. "Why are you pushing tho

"What are you doing here, Lieutenant?" I asked him. He was wearing his military uniform and holding a stem of white rose. I am pretending that I don't see that beautiful flower."Visiting you. You just let me court you yesterday and now I think you forget it already," he said with a playful smile.I rolled my eyes. "What do you want? Remember, you are still courting Sonia. You can only court me when we are alone or in an isolated place."He nodded then handed me the flower. I raised a brow, how could he?"That's why I am asking you if can give it to Sonia for me instead. She went out of town, and I am afraid that I can still have a chance to say goodbye to her. Can you do it?" Now, he is smirking.I raised a brow. "Are you trying to make me jealous?""Why? Are you jealous already?" His smile annoys me.I looked at the white rose and got it into his hands. "You are assuming too much. I am giving it to her, you don't have to worry. Wher

After that day, I can literally say that there is really something with Henry's parents. They're hiding something that I can easily that something is very illegal. I can't tell it to Cristel, I will spill the beans if I prove that my instinct is right."It looks like you and Henry are starting to fall," Cristel whispered to me while we are eating our dinner."What are you saying?"I must admit that I am starting to like Henry, what's the point of denying it to myself? Who am I fooling here?I sighed; I just can't prevent myself from liking him. Compared to the men in my time, Henry is a breath of fresh air. Although he kept on bugging me every single time, I don't feel any irritation towards him, I just faking my reactions. He is very different, he is so gentle and romantic, I just love the way he clings to me every time. He is such a baby. I like it, I like him. I smiled at my thoughts."Why are you smiling?" Cristel whispered to me again.

A month is not really a long time, before I knew it, Henry and the other soldiers are now free to go home. Cristel wants to fetch Alfredo, the soldier's parents agreed to it. While Sonia will go to get Henry. I am not really mad at that idea. It was okay, I guess..."So, this the training camp, it was just a few meters away," I said while waiting outside the camp."Yes, but this different. The other one where they got their years of training is in the other province. It far away from here, no one in the town can visit them," she explained. I nodded.One by one, the soldiers come out slowly. I saw Sonia on the other side holding a basket and I don't know what's in it. Maybe some food she made for Henry.Cristel ran fast when she saw Alfredo together with Henry. And when our eyes met, he smiled so widely. He all thought that I am the one who's going to fetch him. I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from laughing when he saw Sonia beside him with a wide smi
