It'll Come Naturally

"How was your trip to Paris?" Leaning on the railings of the corridor outside her office, Daisy looked at Kevin with a playful smile. She wondered since when the iron soldier had become so infatuated with a girl. Love was indeed a magical thing, deep, mysterious and unfathomable. "I knew this would happen even before I went there. I just wanted to have a try. I was prepared for this so it was not that disappointing." Kevin smiled helplessly. He knew that she would make fun of him. She had told him before he set out that as long as Jonathan was involved, he would never let anyone find her. So it would only be a waste of time for him to go to Paris. But he insisted. Even though the chances of him finding her was next to zero, he still wanted to take a walk on the place she once set foot in.

"Don't worry! My father-in-law wouldn't really keep her away forever. Since he said that she was safe, then everything is okay with her. You don't have to feel uneasy with regards to her safety." Daisy also missed her. She always felt something was missing without Leena being around her. And sometimes she also felt empty.

"I know. Yeah, I'm not that worried anymore. I just miss her a little." Was it really a little? Kevin smiled with melancholy. In all honesty, he was missing her wholeheartedly. She completed him and each day that he did not get to spend with her was just torture and agony.

"Missing someone is like tasting a glass of bitter wine, just enjoy! In fact, it is also quite a common knowledge, and you have to devote yourself to mastering it." They had been apart for only one month. What could be more torturing than the six years that she had spent without Edward? So when it came to missing someone, she knew how it felt more than Kevin, or anyone for that matter.

"Yes, I'm learning to cope with it. So for the military training this time, it's better that you take over. I am not in the best condition, being distracted like this. My concern is that I might screw it up and bring shame to the army base." As long as Leena was away, it would be hardly possible for him to return to normal. He was demoralized every day. As one of the top performing military officers at the base, the most important thing for him was to keep his spirits up at any time. He knew what he should do, but he just couldn't fully concentrate on his work at this time.

"Okay. I have been too idle these days and I have been planning to take time to use my muscles, otherwise I would become too rusty with my combat skills." Daisy itched to give it a try. She was having a hard time with Edward recently and she thought maybe keeping an appropriate distance was a good thing for both of them. It was said that staying with each other for much too long would easily cause aesthetic fatigue. 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder, ' as the saying went. So she thought her decision to go for the military training was a great idea to keep their love fresh.

"Is it okay with Edward? Won't he oppose it?" Kevin asked. As his relationship with Edward became less tense, instead of addressing him formally as Mr. Mu, he could now call Edward by his first name like his good buddies did.

"It's okay. Don't mind him. This is my work. If he really has any issues about it, he could talk to the commander." It was only going to be a week, not parting forever. They had been apart for much longer so Daisy was more than confident that her husband could cope with it. He was a tough man anyway, in addition to being a very busy one.

"How about this? If he really disapproves, then I will go. You won't have to take my place. It doesn't matter if we lose the competition just for once. If we lose, it is because we are getting old," Kevin joked. In fact, Winning the first prize all the time also put him under a lot of pressure. He should give the other army bases the chance to also taste victory.

"Nah, we won't have a problem with that. He would not disapprove it. He may be a rascal in other matters, but he would never interfere with my work. He has promised that he wouldn't and I believe he would keep his word. He is a true man." At the beginning, she thought that he was only trying to muddle through with his promises. But after some time, she found that he really acted on his words. Truly, she looked at him with fresh new eyes after she found that he could really keep his promises. It was a rare quality that could be found in a former playboy.

"You'd better talk with him first. I don't want you to quarrel with each other just because of my issues. That would be really bad." While being apart from Leena, Kevin had learnt a lot of things. He thought that any trouble between a couple would not be a problem to him because he knew what to do and could easily handle it. The biggest issue he had now was that he didn't even have the one who would cause trouble for him. Now that she had gone, he could do nothing but wallow in regret.

"Don't worry about me! You'd better think how to cover it up when your parents start asking about her. I will go to the training ground now." Daisy snapped and stared at him. She felt bad that he worried too much.

Alas! It was indeed a big headache for Kevin. It wouldn't be a problem for his father because in that household, he cared for Leena the least. But what was he supposed to say to his mother? Leena used to often call her. Now a month had passed, but there was not even a message from her. It wouldn't be a surprise if his mother started wondering why. He needed to take some time to talk to his mother about this matter.00000000
