Meanwhile, Sei just quietly stood there watching his dear wife’s every move. Even though she was wearing such a manly uniform and her hair was tied ever so neatly, she remained the one and only beautiful woman in his eyes. She was a bit skinnier now but apart from that, her appearance didn’t change much.

However, there was one thing he badly wanted to see, and it’s her smile. Those smile that brought always the sunshine to his life, he missed them so much. He wanted to see her smile once again, laugh again like she used to do. He badly wanted her back in his arms right here, right now, but he knew it will never be easy. He knew that mending of a wound and healing takes time. That was why he was doing everything the best possible way, that even if it takes using his own son to help hasten it, he won’t hesitate at all.

...

Last night...

The father and son actually had a man to man talk when Little Shin awakened in the middle of the night.

The boy left his room the moment he realized that his mother wasn’t there anymore. He was walking towards his dad’s room when he saw him sitting quietly near the window.

"Dad, where is she?" He asked.

"She returned to her work. Go back to sleep, don’t worry, we will see her soon again." Sei replied, looking like a terrifying boss of the underworld sitting in the dark. However, the little boy approached not fazed at all. His forehead creased with displeasure as he looked at his father.

"I never saw her wearing those uniform in the photos of her including the ones uncle Zaki showed me before. Why didn’t you tell me that she’s a soldier?" Little Shin asked and Sei signaled him to sit beside him. The boy obediently sat as he looked intently at his father, waiting for his answer.

"How do you feel now that you finally met her?" Sei asked instead of answering him, Little Shin tilted his head for a while before he touched his chest and replied.

"When I hugged her, it’s warm here. I believe I felt so happy. I knew I love her so much." The boy honestly replied and Sei ruffled his hair as his slips slightly curved up. This son of his was just like him when he was young. He has that advance mind and not acting like a child at all. However, Little Shin have characteristics Sei didn’t possess when he was at his age. Unlike him, Little Shin was curious about everything. His interest in every single thing was overwhelming that he won’t hesitate to flood everyone around him with numerous questions every single day. And that’s the reason why he was able to easily understand what he feels.

"Good. Tomorrow, we will go visit her in her work. Go back and sleep." Sei said but the little boy’s forehead creased once again.

"Dad, you didn’t answer my question yet." He replied without moving. He looked at his father as though he was telling him he will never leave unless he gets proper answer. Of course, Sei was already aware of his son’s attitude, he knew he won’t budge if he won’t answer him.

"Because I want to surprise you. Why? You don’t like her being a soldier?" He asked and little Shin stared at him for a while before he shook his head.

"I find her cool but, isn’t her job too dangerous? What if..." Little Shin paused as worry flashed across his big beautiful eyes.

Seeing his expression, Sei lifted a brow.

"Did you think your dad didn’t do a thing about that yet?" He asked and the little boy tilted his head again on the other side.

"I just... want to make sure." He replied and Sei’s face turned a bit dark.

"Are you saying you don’t trust your father enough?" he asked, his voice was a bit cold. However, the boy remained unfazed as he answered him honestly.

"I do but dad is so busy." He answered, leaving Sei speechless.

"..."

"Also dad, teacher said tomorrow is our school’s family day. She wanted to call you but i said i’ll be the one to tell you." The boy continued and Sei’s eyes lit the moment he heard his son’s message.

"Little Shin, how about you invite your mother to attend the family day?" Sei suggested. He was asking but truth be told, he already formulated a plan and his son will be the one who will do the first step.

"I can?!" The boy exclaimed. And excitement immediately filled his eyes the moment Sei nodded.

On the sidelight, Zaki who was quietly watching for a while now could only shake his head as he smiled. He can’t believe that these father and son were plotting a move in the middle of the night. They exactly look as though they were soldiers discussing a certain strategy to capture something very important.

Sei was speaking while the little boy was nodding, intensely focused onto his father. It was as if he was listening to an important mission.

After the heart to heart planning, the boy dozed off and he fell into his father’s lap.

"Hey, i can’t believe you will really use your son." Zaki said as he smiled mischievously, walking closer to the two.

"There’s nothing wrong about it. And besides, two is better than one." Sei replied as he carried his son.

"I didn’t say it’s wrong, okay? I think that’s the best idea. Little Shin might even be a better medicine to her than you." Zaki retorted, throwing him a teasing smile.

"Anyway, go back to Country H and fetch your fiancee. I’m sure Davi will be happy to see her." Sei said before he walked away, leaving Zaki scratching the back of his neck. He then raised his head and looked outside the window. His blank eyes started brimming with wild anticipation as he thinks about the fiancee Sei was talking about.
