Abyss Of Silent Heroes - Chapter 154 Baldurs Travel Back To Makasido
After that sad farewell of Baldur and Mayumi, George and Magee called Mayumi at the table, though, Albrecht was so silent while chewing his food.
” Hey all, Dad seems to be tired and he’s still asleep.”
” Hmm…seldom I noticed it. He wakes up too early with his coffee ever since. Its already 0700 hrs, Dad’s so uncanny that way, what do you think? Or let’s just forcibly wake him up.” George said.
” That’s a good idea, anyhow.” Albrecht replied as they both rise and motioned towards to the Captain who was still closing his eyes.
” Dad! Dad!” George gently shook Edward’s shoulder.
Momentarily, the Captain opened his eyes and spoke.
” Hmm…shh…keep quiet. Don’t disturb me, I’m thinking and conceptualizing. Just havin’ a gut feeling that the opponents would sue us to death thereafter they’ve lost their comrades. Just imagine they’ve got everything to return us to dust but it turned out that way. They won’t take it as creepy though, the whole clan would find for us right away. Don’t you all think these things? By the way, where’s Baldur?”
” He was looking for the commando’s journal and decided to go back to Makasido, at Elmar’s house. Hmm…we tried to stop him. Dad, but he said holds the responsibility over it, so there.” Albrecht sat by the bed.
” But its too risky! He should have left that journal there, what’s the point of returning in the enemy lines when I’ve already announced that we’ve failed the mission. That journal can put his life to compromise, my goodness!”
” Dad, I’ll go and backup for Baldur.” George said.
” No, no, no! that musn’t happen. Don’t add up the problem, let’s just pray and hope Baldur can get back with his journal.
Without them knowing, Magee was just listening and thought of following Baldur. Her eagerness was unceasingly boiling in her mind when she’d heard that her husband thinks the same too. So when the Captain stood up and had his breakfast with Albrecht while Mayumi washed some dishes, George and Magee sat on the granite couch just in front to their secret transparent door.
” What do you think?” Magee asked.
” I’ll follow him.” I’ll make a scene on the other side so that they can penetrate subtly to Elmar’s house. It wouldn’t be easy for my brother just as it wouldn’t be difficult to try something to help him. Baldur is a man of words and it seems he owns the guilt for losing it, and it breaks my heart.” George whispered.
” I’ll go with you.” She moved too close to him and wrapped her hands on his right arm.
” Oh my…heavens…my wife, please, don’t over think about this reinforcement thing, it’s just within us, you know that. No. You stay with Damian and…”
” No. He’s my brother…and besides, George…this is wartime. If I tell you something, will you be convinced?” She smilingly said while embracing him tight.
” Hmm…what is that? Tell me.” George answered while caressing her hair.
” I know all those places you’ll be heading to, the different safe spots and barrios surrounding Makasido. Lolo Sibal had been there several times when I was a kid till I grew up.”
” Hmm…but you were im Manila for several years, how come you still have any idea of those places. Last year of September when you came home in Tikaban, I was all the time watching you by and you haven’t left to anywhere. Hmm…how come you are still acquainted to the place?” He meaningfully asked as he put his left arm on her small waistline.
” I know Makasido and those places were not in the west where progress overrules but those places surrounding Makasido are remote ones, I know they’re still the way I used to visit with.”
” Mag…I appreciate you telling me all these but the enemies are just anywhere too. Here, I don’t want to put you to risk and that’s final.”
” …but I’m going with you. She hugged him even more tightly.
” No. I will leave you to Albrecht as your direct assistant and Lolo Sibal as the transparent door guard. You stay here with Damian, you may sew and knit as many as you can…o..okay, someone’s coming, Mag.” George smirked.
“Ows! heavens…what’s that naughty girl doin’ on him! Goodness!” Albrecht teased them.
” Albrecht, please sit down…your sister wants to go with me to help Baldur but I refused, so can you stay and guard her tightly.”
” But Dad doesn’t like you to go either.” Albrecht said.
” See that! Dad even wants you to stay. I will be telling Dad if you won’t bring me in your plan.” She threatened his husband that much.
” Do it, go and do it.” George sound so seriously that made her sat back so seriously and after a minute she pulled Albrecht’s hand towards the kitchen.
George then prepared himself for the journey and it was a perfect timing when the Captain went down to the tunnel with Mayumi who brought some food to the remaining guerrillas and soldiers.
Minutes after George had prepared, he moved closer to her and Albrecht at the kitchen table.
” Albrecht, you know what to tell to Dad if he’ll be looking for me.” George said while Albrecht stood up and allowed the couple to talk.
“Mag, this is it. There are things you have to treat badly. I may now the topmost cruel husband in the world but one thing for sure, I’m looking for your safety. If not without this war, you know, I would love to tag you around and…of course you know what I mean, Mag. But…I have to help our brother now, he can’t solely do it. The enemies were just few steps away they said. Risky. It’s all risky out there, so stay here with Albrecht. I know he could not resist to my orders due to – Madelleine. So, stay grounded and don’t be silly this time. Just always remember that I’ll be fine all throughout for you, remember that, and don’t be silly this time, okay?” Then he kissed her so passionately for seconds before he moved aback smiling at her and ran going down to the spiral stairs going to the exit door, heading north.
