My Lal is Most Beautiful
Chapter 1
Colonello's POV
Lal... the first time I saw her I was given a kick in the face. However, more than the initial shock and pain, what caught my attention most were those fiery eyes and that feisty temper. I liked woman with an attitude. Good woman were hard to find.
My last girlfriend had been a Yakuza's daughter. She might have a personality but it was still too mild for my liking. I wanted something more extreme, someone who would keep me on my toes at all times, someone explosive.
Then I met Lal on a secret mission. She was beyond gorgeous. If anything she had to be an angel in disguise, a strong one at that. I was made to join the army force's special team to perform special mission no ordinary human can accomplish. Lal was the trainer and it totally changed my impression of women.
This woman had worked me to the bone mercilessly and practically broke down my pride as a man. I wasn't weak at all but compared to her, I felt like a wimp. She was Spartan on us and her believe that the world is a harsh place spurred her sadism.
I thought I would die after the first week of training. We hardly had time to rest, hardly had time to eat and much less sleep. It was worse than hell. I would have gladly given up if not for the fact that I wanted to become strong enough to court her.
I needed to become the man to be able to protect her. Perhaps nobody saw through that tough exterior but I knew that deep down, she was still a woman who felt insecure about some things. The occasional acts of kindness which nobody noticed and the effort she put into training all of us so we could preserve our lives on the battlefield were overlooked by the others. I saw them all.
For three months straight I did extra training on my own at night when everyone else were busy sleeping. I wanted to get stronger faster to get closer to her. However one night, fate decided to bring forward my wish to get closer to her.
"Recruit Colonello! What do you think you are doing? It is already lights out! Why are you still here?" Lal barked.
I stopped my exercise routine of doing push ups and stood up in attention position. "I was doing some extra training ma'am!"
Lal scowled at me and said "You are always lacking behind your friends in everything. You have got zero potential to become a special operations soldier. Go to sleep recruit. I suggest you think about it and quit this as soon as you can. I don't need you to be cannon fodder on the front line."
Her words stung me badly. Meat shield for my comrades would be bad enough but cannon fodder? I clenched my fist tight. I'll show her that I am not cannon fodder. I will prove that I can be a man capable of protecting her.
On the day of the mission I went with her and the team to annihilate a fire arm trading operations from the mafia and terrorists. I had been careless in stealth and was spotted and crossfire soon ensued.
The aftermath of the crossfire was three of my team mates dead and two other injured, including Lal. The operation was a success with the price of three deaths and two casualties. The journey back was a solemn one.
Lal had pulled me out from the team and told me "Quit the team."
I felt heart broken and humiliated thoroughly. "I'm sorry."
"I will see you gone by tomorrow," she stated coldly. This was not going as I expected.
At night I thought long and hard then made a decision.
Sun rose the next day and I was already on the circuit course. Lal saw me training and pulled me to a side. "I thought I told you to leave!" she snapped angrily.
"I know I'm in the wrong but please at least give me a chance," I begged.
"No! You have zero potential and your team mates had to die because of some pride of yours. I will not allow you to stay here and endanger the lives of your team mates."
I was desperate when I told her "Three months. Train me for three months personally. I'll show you that I can do it. If I can't, I'll leave for good."
Lal seemed to reconsider my offer and then turned her back towards me and walked off.
"Please!" I dropped to my knees. "I just ask for three months, just three months. I can do this!"
Lal stopped and paused for a very long time.
"Fine!" she snapped. "Three months is all you have. If you can't make it, you will leave. No more bargaining is that clear?"
I nodded. The resolve reflected in my eyes.
"Training starts tomorrow."
I watched her figure disappear before heading back to the dormitory to pack. I have three months to win her heart. That was all I needed.
