It'll Come Naturally

When Leena got to the army base, it was still early. She had thought of going to the military compound to visit the wives of the soldiers, but she finally decided against it. She was worried that she might stay too long and get delayed.

Every time she came to the army base, she could not help but respect the soldiers who sacrificed themselves for the country. She was very proud to meet them and get to know them. She was also proud that she, herself was also the wife of a soldier and thus felt some sort of affinity to them. That was why every time she came, she looked at everything and everyone with admiration.

But she didn't expect to immediately see Daisy. She ran into her even before she got to see her own husband.

"Leena, what are you doing here?" Daisy called out as she spotted Leena. Asking Mark to stop the car, Daisy got out with a pleasantly surprised look on her face. She wasn't expecting to see Leena here at the army base.

"Hello, Daisy. Are you off work?" Leena couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed seeing Daisy. A faint but noticeable blush quickly appeared on her cheeks. Her ears also turned slightly red. She thought she could come and find Kevin without anyone knowing. But to her surprise, Daisy saw her from the car. A beautiful girl like her would be visible even from afar.

"Yeah. Why are you here? Are you here to pick Kevin up? It seems like you can't wait for him to come home, huh!" Daisy teased Leena with an elbow nudge and a playful smirk on her face. She could tell from Leena's sudden rosy cheeks that she was here to see Kevin, and that she must miss her husband that bad. That could be the only reason that she came here today. Leena just couldn't wait still at home for Kevin to get off work. She wanted to see him so badly that she decided to come to the army base to pick him up herself. This way, she could see him sooner.

"No! Of course not. I was just bored and had nothing else to do. Also, I am just out for a stroll. Nothing more." Daisy had seen through her but Leena still tried to explain defensively, the faint glow on her face becoming redder and more prominent. Daisy had hit the nail in the head and guessed it right, but there was no way that Leena would want to admit it in front of her. She was either too embarrassed or too proud to admit out loud, that she missed Kevin too much.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"A stroll? At the army base? Ha ha. It is quite a far stroll, it seems." Daisy wasn't planning to let this slide easily and kept teasing her with a knowing smile. She was having a fun time seeing Leena like this, all flustered and almost speechless being caught red handed. "Um, you know me, I just have a poor sense of direction. That's why I ended up here." As soon as she finished these words, Leena regretted ever saying them. She was being more and more ridiculous. Why couldn't she just bite the bullet and admit to Daisy that she was here for Kevin? Now, Daisy probably thought that she was being silly.

"Well, yeah. Your poor sense of direction took you to the place you wanted to go to the most. Right!" Daisy couldn't help but feel amused at Leena's poor explanation. Here she was, having fun, teasing her and the more Leena tried to explain, the more ridiculous it sounded and the more awkward and embarrassed she felt. Daisy wouldn't be surprised if Leena wanted to disappear right there and then.

"Come on, Daisy! Stop teasing me like that. Where is Kevin? Is he still working?" Leena didn't know what to say anymore, so she just gave up and admitted that she was indeed here for her husband. Now that Daisy had already seen right through her, she didn't need to pretend anymore. She would rather know where Kevin was right now.

"You should have admitted that you are here for Kevin the first time I asked you. Well, Kevin is with the commander now, giving him his report. He should be out in a minute or two. I am sure that he'd be so happy to see you here picking him up." Daisy stopped teasing Leena and answered her question. She knew how much Leena wanted to see her husband and was probably getting antsy by the second. Ah, such young romantic lovebirds!

"That's good to know. Thank you, Daisy. Well, I don't want to bother you and take up much of your time. I'm sure that you were on the way to somewhere before you spotted me here. Don't let Edward wait. I will be here and, as you already know, will be waiting for Kevin." Leena had a sheepish smile on her face. Daisy was right. She should have told Daisy the truth from the get go. How silly of her to have forgotten what Daisy did for a living. Of course she would know that she was making up ridiculous excuses. It was indeed impossible to hide something in front of the smart senior colonel.

"Okay then. I am going now. Stay in the car, understood? It is warmer in there and more comfortable than standing outside. Take care of yourself," Daisy said in a concerned tone while fixing Leena's clothes for her. She had to hurry to the prison, so she couldn't stay and wait for Kevin with her.

"I know. Don't worry, Daisy. I'm sure I can handle it while waiting. Plus I'm no longer a child!" Daisy's caring words warmed Leena's heart. But she still felt a bit ridiculous and helpless being treated like a small child, as she was already a mother herself. She was the one who should be looking after other people, and not the other way around. Unfortunately for her, her dear brothers and "sisters-in-law" still considered her their baby princess who still couldn't take care of herself sometimes.

"Who said that you're not a child anymore? You will forever be our little princess who needs to be taken good care of. Besides, sometimes you just behave like one." Daisy couldn't help but roll her eyes fondly at Leena. She was still the precious little sister that everyone loved and spoiled. This while she already had a kid of her own. Nobody could ever deny that.

"Sis Daisy!" huffed Leena indignantly. She knew she was acting childish, but she just couldn't help it.

"All right, all right. I won't tease you anymore. I should get going. And you wait here for your husband. Good-bye!" Daisy said seriously and stopped teasing. She waved her hand and turned around to get back inside the car. "Bye, Daisy! Be safe." Leena watched Daisy's car drive away. Then she let out a weak sigh, glad that the teasing was over. She then continued to patiently wait until her husband got off work.

From that time, the wait took quite a bit. Just when Leena thought that Kevin wouldn't come out, there he was, walking fast to his car with Lee trailing behind him, like Daisy said. When she saw Kevin's car drive out towards her, Leena was almost frozen to death. She didn't wait in the car as Daisy advised. Because she wanted to see Kevin as soon as he came out, she just stood outside the car the whole time. She could miss seeing Kevin if she just stayed inside.

"Major General, how come Leena is here?" Lee was surprised to see Leena there. He didn't expect to see the Major General's wife standing there waiting for her husband. .00000
