SHEINA ARAGON

Chapter 1

Tapping the table questionably, what are those marines doing when they are in the middle of the battle field, what do they do against their enemy? Why are they so brave to step on there one foot on an 8 feet underground, or maybe they wanted to be buried alive for fun, because of such greatness they want to prove? fuck braveness on them.

"Make sure all fingers are clear of the slide or hammer. Some older semi automatics have a habit of 'biting' the web between your index finger and thumb. Getting bitten by the slide can be very painful as well as dangerous, because you don't want to react to pain and risk dropping a loaded and cocked gun with the safety off"

Keeping my eyes on the woman in front of me while instructing them on how to use the gun for their very first duty.

"Stand in the proper firing stance. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, with the foot opposite your dominant hand about a step past the other foot. Lean forward slightly with your knees bent, making sure you're firmly balanced, no one gets nervous with their twinkle toes shakes for this shit or I'll punish you severely! put the elbow of your dominant arm, should be almost straight and your non-dominant elbow should be flexed at a slightly obtuse angle. C'mon, you're not here to stand! Your dominant arm must be in line with the handgun and pointed at the target."

I tap the table after I walk past all of them, standing straight to watch them.

"Now-Now! Never aim the gun sideways or with a bent wrist, I'll rip your arm off if you do that"

"Align the front sight with the rear sight. Ensure that the top of the front sight post is level with the top of the rear sight, and that the rear sight appears evenly centered within the notch of the front sight. This will ensure that the gun is level and that you'll get a good sight picture when aiming at the target"

I saw one of my students struggle but when he locked eyes on me he immediately focused on what he's doing.

"Idiots, Hold your hands out in front of you, facing away, and make a small triangle by placing one thumb on top of the other and one set of fingers over the other. Now, look at an object in the distance through that triangle. Close one eye. If you can still see the object, the eye that remains open is your dominant eye! If you can't get it, try developing your sight picture. When shooting, a common confusion is where to focus.

Massaging my temple because I'm so stressed out right now.

"Fix the gun on the target. You should see the sharply focused front sight touching the bottom of the blurry, unfocused bulls-eye. Now you place your trigger finger on the trigger"

"Fire!" I shouted, causing everyone to be in shock and shoot the target in panic.

I laughed sarcastically before turning into my dark cold strict mood.

"Oh goddamn it, Seth! You're up!" I yell to the guy at the front door of this stupid room, that he will immediately stand before me and nod, accepting the fact, he is going to be the instructor for this freshman's but before I leave, I look at the girl who keeps her eyes stuck on me.

She noticed me staring, surprised by the action she immediately looked straight ahead, I scratched the back of my neck and tapped Seth's shoulder.

"Goodluck on your resignation sir" Seth shouted and the door closed, walking through the empty hallway alone made me feel relaxed for a bit and just like last time I'm always looking forward to going home early tonight.

This is my last day on teaching the students here, the school for the marine corps, I thought it's easy to teach but It is really not, I think of my wife on why she graduated in here full of "mamamatay ako para sa bayan ko" what the heck is that, a death note or something?

I knock on the head office door twice and when I hear the voice of the person inside I open the door.

"I receive your resignation letter, is that because of your parents or your-"

"Yes, It's all about my fianceé. Sir,"

"Alright, but Aragon you can also join the marine force if you want,"

"I'm not planning to."

"You sure, your fianceé is in Russia right now but you're still here in the states, for what? your not that kind of person I know that jump on something without any valid reasons"

I just blew a breath and glared at him "I am not joining period!"

"C'mon, I knew you since back-"

"Shut your mouth, Gruigor!"

"Geez, hindi ka mapilit sa englisan Aragon. Baka isumbong kita sa kapatid ko ngayon"

"I know what you're saying Gruigor I am a half breed, you're sticking too much on my business!" I coldly stare at him.

"You mean like this business?" he put the magazine infront of me that I immidiately gulped down, He knows what the fuck I pass the resignation!

"Hell!" I grabbed the magazine from him and I couldn't cover my heated face because of that.

"You're hiding that from Sheina!"

"Don't stick your nose more Gruigor baka makalimutan kong kapatid ka ng asawa ko" I stood up from the chair and leave, hindi ko na siya tinapunan pa ng tingin.

Pakalabas ko ng pintuan ay nakakita ako kaagad ng basurahan at doon ko itinapon ang magazine kong hawak.

Snatching my phone in my pocket to call her, but it kept on ringing and no one answered it. Pinching the bridge of my nose from this shit of anger that has been boiling in my head and I think I need to give it out.

I immediately walk to the door to get out of this freaking building before that brother-in-law bothers me again about joining the army.

Driving home and setting my important documents to leave this country asap. By the announcement of the plane I open my eyes, awake from the sun burning my skin and taking a step on the land where my wife is currently deployed.

"Bakla!!!"

Napatingin ako sa entrance ng airport, A smile draw upon my face when I see her face again since our wedding didn't go well that day made me awkwardly approach her but hearing her nice sweet voice calling me on that way is making me more nauseous causing me to hug her tight nervously, smelling her neck is so good but eventually feels weird.

"I miss you," She said but I just looked at her with an awkward smile.
