Abyss Of Silent Heroes 79 Sharing Their Thoughts

Nighttime came and he prepared his beddings at the receiving area. But Magee called to chitchat with him. While fronting the furnace and arms brazing their knees, they were amazed with the aromatic smell and delicious taste of the leftover breadnut that accidentally fell on the furnace and roasted like a peanut.

" Wow! this is gonna be historical, its my first time to have this in roast." She smilingly cheered.

" By the way, the attack will be in two days."

Then the ambiance turned out weighty as he was watching the pot above the stove, sighing.

" It will go well." She whispered while at a glance with the lit of light beginning to emerge from a smoky stove.

" Just stay here. If you have plans of joining us in secret, it might be difficult, Mag. My focus will be divided." Then he stamped his right palm on forehead.

" Hey...I felt like a delinquent hearing you say those things again. I'm busy these days with hectic schedules on sewing and knitting." She grinned and bowed her head.

" What are you sewing and knitting when you clouted, repaired and even st.i.tched all of my uniforms, including my hankies." He smiled.

"Its a top secret." A beam on her face riveted him to be curious about.

" Wow! you're keeping secrets now. Hey, Mag what are you doing when I'm not around. So this must be terrible." He smiled while looking at her throwing small charcoal under the stove.

" Tell me." He moved closer as if funnily threatening her. But she smirked, stood up and took his pillow from her bed and put it on his place.

" Sleep tight George." She sweetly smirked and proceeded to the furnace, took one small charcoal and she knew he's following her. But he ended up watching her into drawing a line on the doorless bedroom.

" What's that marking for?" His gaze was full of bewilderment.

" Hmm, if you step beyond this line when I'm asleep. I will add one more month to the eight month contract." Face to face with the line in between them she closed her eyes, covered her face and offered her forehead for him to kiss. But he was impressed with a one in a lifetime moment he won't forget as it brought him speechless and secretly bite his lip and tickled by it, though, he carefully put his hands to both sides of her head and kissed her forehead, idyllically. After a second, she backed off and waved her hand to him, smiling. Needless to say but he remained mystified, standing, watching and waiting till she nestled in her coc.o.o.n.

But Magee forgot that his husband was a soldier and a combatant at that; so without her knowing, he just waited that she could sleep then he slowly crawled to reach her sewing kit beside the bed and returned to his place, smiling. He opened it noiselessly and lighted it with his flashlight. There were piled up of small cloth then he raised them one by one, scrutinizing and was eventually amazed by what he had found out.

" Too small clothes...baby pajamas, s.h.i.+rts, and hats? who's...haha! What...Oh dear! You've even marked the restricted room with charcoal, how come you can sew and knit all of these? I can't sleep, haha!" He thought while putting all the baby outfits and embraced them as he closed his eyes." Lord, I'm stealing one for my lucky charm at war. I'm choosing this cute little s.h.i.+rt of my baby, its too small, my goodness, haha!" I'm already sweating from laughing here secretly. Oh my...ah, I'll keep this s.h.i.+rt, whatever happens, haha!" He was really exhilarated. After keeping the baby s.h.i.+rt he returned the sewing kit beside her then tiptoed to go back to the receiving area, smiling and putting the baby s.h.i.+rt on his face as he slept.

When he woke up - still puzzled but smiled over the baby things he had discovered last night and shook his head while smelling the s.h.i.+rt he had kept.

After a short while, he boiled some water and had a coffee and breadfruit, but still smiling.

Then she was awakened by his noise at the kitchen.

" Good morning George. What's your plan today?" Then she seated.

" Ah, me? I'll be staying in the wooden house, I guess for the whole day. Tomorrow's the day so I need to stay and monitor my men." He said.

" Good. I'll continue doin' what I'm so busy at - these days."

" Haha...be sure you have to eat well and relax in between hours of hard work, okay?"

" Yes, its just very important. I am now even conceptualizing some good designs, hmm." Then she looked up smiling and put her face over her hands.

" George's coffee spilled like drizzling around the table and he could not anymore control from laughing."

" Oh, careful. What happened to you this early, your face looks reddish already, haha." She took some rag and wiped the spilled coffee.

" After you take a bath, you go then. Your men must be waiting for you there right now." Then she smiled and prepared a coffee for her breakfast.

"Mag, I'll go now. I can probably dive in the river to bath."

" Good for you. Here, bring your towel and don't stay too long in the waters, its still very cold." She reminded him.

"I'm not anymore afraid of the cold waters. I have coped up so fast with my phobia." Then he left smiling.

He then closed the door and quickly went down to the spiral staircase. When reaching the wooden house he immediately grabbed a bolo then proceeded to the angel fruit trees. As part of the routine, he increased the drainage system and made a smoke made of dried leaves. Whole looking at the smoke disturbing the aphids on leaves, he took out the baby s.h.i.+rt from his bagpack, showcased it on his lap; suddenly bite his lips and heavily smiled.

" I'm getting crazy watching this baby s.h.i.+rt, she even perfectly made a very cute customized design. Wow! she never plan this marriage but she's just amazing! Thank you Lord for giving me a woman who's not just after on relations.h.i.+ps but also with family. She's excited of creating a family, I'm so touched."

After picking up a daisy, he immediately returned to the wooden house and talked with Baldur who echoed the agreements with the Gabok guerillas.
