WLMA: SPECIAL FORCES (COMPLETED)

SF 44

In a war, no one wins. Lahat agrabyado. Walang labanan na hindi namamatayan. Lahat ng gyera, mayroong binabawian ng buhay. Pagkatapos ng gyera, may maluluksa.

After that failed mission, bumalik sila sa kampo na maga ang mga mata. Lahat sila, namatayan ng kasama. All of them are grieving for their dead comrades. They didn't manage to bring Mad dog alive, namatayan pa sila ng kasama.

Halos hindi matigil ang iyak ni Kitty at ni Warner hanggang sa marating nila ang kampo. Walang nagsasalita sa kanila maliban na lang kay Gavin na inaalo ang dalawa. Siya lamang ang tanging hindi umiiyak sa kanila.

Pagkatapos ng araw na iyon ay mayroong honoring march na ginawa paikot sa buong kampo ng SF unit bilang pagluluksa at paghirang sa mga namatay bilang bayani ng West Land. Bawat kabaong, mayroong watawat ng West Land. Hindi lang ang mga sundalo ang narito, pati na rin ang pamilya ng mga sundalong namatay.

Isa lamang ang naririnig sa buong kampo, iyak ng mga nawalan. Masakit ang mawalan ng isang kapamilya ngunit alam nila sa mga puso nilang namatay ang kanilang mahal sa buhay bilang bayani ng West Land. Bagama't kaunti lamang ang nakakilala sa kanila bilang bayani, nagampanan pa rin nila ang kanilang mga tungkulin.

The West Land won't be safe without them. The West Land won't have their flag floating in the air without the heroes who died protecting it against the criminals and bad people.

"Stop crying, Katniss. You've been crying since the day we got back. Please, stop crying already," nagmamakaawang sabi ni Gavin sa dalaga.

"I-i still can't believe that they're gone, Gav. This is a prank right? They're not dead..."

"They're gone, Katniss."

The day after the honoring march, a military funeral happened where the volley shots are fired as a salute to the dead soldiers. Sa araw na iyon, mas lalo pang naging malakas ang iyakan ng lahat. Kahit si Commander Estrella na namatayan ng anak na babae ay hindi rin mapigilan ang luha sa pagbuhos.

He was blaming himself for not being good to his daughter. Siya ang naging dahilan kung bakit pumasok ang kaniyang anak sa pagsusundalo. Ngayon na wala na ang anak ay abot langit ang kaniyang pagsisisi.

"Dad, at least we don't have a weak woman in the family anymore," Hanzo, who isn't even grieving for his dead sister, said.

"Hanzo! Could you please stop? Respeto naman sa kapatid natin. We should be thankful that we aren't in that war!" It was Veznov who shouted at his brother. The latter just shut his mouth and looked away.

Drey's family was also in the military funeral, all of them are crying for their dead son and sibling. They can't believe that their talented Drey was gone. "This is your fault!" Drey's mother pointed her fingers towards Kitty who's also crying.

"Ma'am, it's not my girlfriend's fault," Gavin, who's standing beside Kitty, said.

"It's hers! Kung hindi lang nagkagusto sa 'yo ang anak ko, he wouldn't enter the military! Pumasok siya sa pagsusundalo dahil nando'n ka. But what did he got? Heartbreak?! You chose this man over my son and now he's dead! He's dead because of you," Drey's mother said while pointing at Gavin.

"Mom, just stop... It's not Menken's fault. It was my brothe's choice to enter the military," Drey's brother said to his mother.

"Sana iyang lalaking iyan na lang ang namatay at siya!"

"Mom! It's not their fault, alright?! You'll only hurt Kuya if you keep yelling at his friends," Drey's sister said. "Kuya died for us, for West Land... not for them. So please stop blaming them because they did nothing wrong. They are also trying to save our country from those evil people."

Kitty felt a pang on her chest. Why does it hurt so much? 'Saving our country from those evil people... ha!' They can't even save their comrades, buong bansa pa kaya?

After the military funeral of the fallen soldiers, bumalik ang lahat sa kampo ngunit hindi na mababalik ang dating sigla ng SF unit.

"We are soldiers from the west, left foot, right foot.
We got no permanent home, we always left, you're right.
There ain't no use in going back,
we are needed by the west.

Sound off! 1, 2
Sound off! 3, 4
Cadence count! 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2... 3, 4!

We are soldiers from the west, left foot, right foot.
We got a home, but we always left, you're right!
We got a family, but we left, you're right!
we are needed by the west.

Sound off! 1, 2
Sound off! 3, 4
Cadence count! 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2... 3, 4!"

"Halt!" All of them halted when an officer shouted. They are currently having their training, jogging while chanting calls to be exact. "The Commander called for an assemble. To your formations!"

Walang pagdadalawang isip na inayos ng lahat ang kanilang formation at nag-parade rest. Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na rin si Commander Estrella kasama ang mga opisyal mula sa headquarters. 'What's happening?'

"Attention! Salute!"

"Parade rest."

Isa-isa silang tiningnan ng Commander at kinakabahang tumingin ng diretso si Kitty sa mga opisyal na nasa kanilang harapan.

"We got the list of the moles here in SF unit."

Kitty's POV

"We got the list of the moles here in SF unit," the Commander started to talk. Moles? Marami ang espiya sa SF unit? I didn't know that there'll be a lot of spies here in SF since the standards are so high.

"Private Godfrey," tawag sa pangalan ni Warner. What the fvck is happening? He's a spy?! No, he's not!

"Private first class Poncho,

Private first class Estrella,

Private second class Estrella."

I can't believe this, what's happening? Sila ba ang mga espiya? Including the Estrella brothers? Marami pa ang pangalang binanggit ni Commander Estrella hanggang sa tawagin din ang pangalan ni Gavin.

"Private Cornelius." This isn't happening. Yes, he's a mole from Frey mafia, the reason why he's here is because of the mafia. His mission is to be a part of SF unit until he becomes the Consigliere of their mafia.

Did Gavin blew up his cover? How did they know that he's a mole? He's always discreet at everything. Even me-his girlfriend-don't know whenever he communicates with Dorian.

"Private Menken," huling sabi ni Commander na nagpaguho ng mundo ko.
