O friends, do you know that every late at night, I enjoy the silence of our room. How peaceful and quiet from all the hustle and bustle that usually comes during the day.
This is what I always face, every night, being the eagle eye guarding our border.
O friends, do you know, a few nights ago, I fought alone. I called out on cue, but I knew I was alone at the time. Am I afraid? am i scared? am i worried?
of course! bhahahaha
No, my friend, I face the challenge, I just started to crawl slowly point by point from one sector to another.
Do you know? As I crawled slowly, watching the points add up one by one, I kept hoping the points added would jump to two or more at once. Every second that passes, I never stop hoping… Minutes pass, time goes on… sector by sector I slowly secure, and I never stop hoping.
Indeed, my index finger eventually felt the pain, and that’s what I’m used to when I do night work. But there is something different as long as I do it, there is a warmth there that always accompanies me in my chest. I don’t even know how to explain it.
“Puk!”, a hand on my back made me startle at that time. And I saw Gheet smiling there. A smile that makes this warmth even more real in the chest.
“Thank you so much, Gheet :)”, I told him.
“You did all the work!”, he said. But he couldn’t stay with me for long time, so he left, and I continued my fight alone.
Alone?… nope… I was wrong.. I’m not alone.. I still feel that warmth. I smiled and continued the fight until the end.
The next night, I returned to prepare as usual. Still with the same smile, still with the same warm feeling in my chest. I stepped my feet towards the meeting place, and I was surprised … this time many figures stood up to greet me warmly and smiles on their faces that looked sleepy.
The helmeted man, the Angel of death, the man in the red shirt and glasses, not forgetting the man with his head in the bucket, and several beautiful girls, one of whom was wearing a soccer jersey.
So.. I lead them to fight. Those who are far more experienced than me, follow me, support me, make the warmth in the chest swell and explode making these tears fall…
I immediately remembered every friend of mine, my family members who were here. All with their own characteristics and all the customs that are ingrained in this family.
If you are late? You must be holding Monty’s watch. If you’re led by a beautiful woman with a smile on her face, it’s definitely Feli. If you see a woman sometimes saying the words, “S L A Y” when going to war, that’s Mia. If there is someone whose mind is often dirty with rather quirky memes, it’s Eel. When you think of snipe, you think of Gray. If you want to see a bald man who dreams of dreadlocks and has an extraordinary spirit, that’s Oz. Looking for a Mother figure? That’s Eadyth. If you see bunnies running around messing your yard, it belongs to NagaPadoha, man who always wear helmet? That is Blaise. The Lady that never sleep? ofc Diana. Naughty, Bad, Zman, Danno, Damsy, seabrat, sequim, Anubis (regalo), GC and CH (missed you both, man), Joan, Rob, RR, BB, G, HB, Wo, Nero, TM, I can go on and on to mention all the members of this family one by one.
In the end, I know the answer, what warmth is. That is love. Yup, I fell in love with this family. And when people have fallen in love, we can do anything for the people they love, right? 🙂
Dear friends, the night is getting late, soon the war will open. I have to end this letter. I have to look at the map, jot it down in case I have to be off suddenly because of RL, I have to post it in the command room so someone else can take over my place. Also, I have to prepare my two internet lines so that I don’t get disconnected when leading. Just a few routines that must be prepared when going to lead, that’s all.
Sleep well my friend, I can never stop to thank you for being part of this family. A family that I love with all my heart.
