The divorce

Chapter 23

Katrina ..

It's day two in here and let me tell you something,

I want to give up ! This shit is freaking hard, the sergeants have no sympathy up on us , we haven't had a proper sleep for like two straight days ,

I mean alright, we were directed to our beds that didn't feel comfortable , even a bit of it !

Double beds bunks , it is crowded with no privacy and all you can hear is the chill air that passed through us now and then in every night .

Man ! Some of us cried in the first night itself, " I mean how can you make an inexperienced school girl or an office worker do push ups just after they have reached their destinations ?!"

The female sergeants were yelling at us , telling us how pathetic and weak we are. We couldn't blame her as lot of us were exhausted with the little energy we had and their higher rank .

At the early hours at 4 am in the morning , we were ushered to be up on our feet , dress up without bathing , just brushing and wearing our required uniforms . We can't resist becuase we make no rules and there is no excuse at all .
I tell you , Everything is new to many of us .

I feel like I have to change my daily routines , from now .. if it's bathing then that would be at night , together with brushing my teeth and all the basic stuff that we have to do ,

At the moment we were jogging, it has been two hours and most of us are tired , the parade has been going on for hours and we weren't even given a little rest even sipping some water,

We didn't dare talk , every one was sweaty , our faces were gloomy as we sing with the female officer who has been jogging with us for hours ,

A little far we could see another group of officers who were training but knowing fully that it was alot harder than what we were doing,

Mastering all the energy that I had and the others. We went for another last rounds and given a short break .

I had a bottle of water with me and I quickly finished the whole drink , I was hungry , we haven't gotten our breakfast yet and it looks like it's going to be seven in the morning any time from now .

I and the other women sat , sighing and breathing hard , Some of their faces are all red from all the blood that rushed through their systems , some of us looked even more tan than our normal colour ,

It wasn't the time to think about it , but just to make time rushing and finish the trainings fast , i thought about alot of things .I looked at my trainings t-shirt. I couldn't help but admire myself.

It has always been my dream , and now I am here .. I have never expected to think of giving up this early .

But well ..

It's a little complicated ,

"Hey do you have another bottle , ?" A young woman whose name is casy if I am not mistaken asked ,

Not really , I showed her my empty bottle which she nod and stay calm .

Everyone is calm and that's the most scary part ,

Not soon the sergeant came again and ushered us to start the parade again, I wish I could burst right now ,

We walked another hour, we did some push ups .. Sit ups . The female officer yelled we had to be sharp becuase this was just the warm ups and the training have not started yet which made one of us cry ,

Shit she fucked up ! She better control her emotions and her tears or else she is going to get punished .

One thing you have to know in the camp,
Every one is cruelly calm , and if any of the seargeants catch you or note down your name and face ,

" you are a dead meat !"

And who is that , ? Surgeant Jackson announced . I trembled hearing her voice ,

The woman has no any ounce of emotion through her tone .

I said who is crying , you think we are taking little babies in the fucking army ! If you feel like crying then my dear there is no a mother pup who can console you here!

Go back home which will not happen over my dead body unless you want some of your body limbs to be being broken by me .

You understand !! She yelled ,

Yes seargeant ! We chorused gulping ,

Now bend your bodies and get to work lil mamas , we don't raise pups in here !

We train strong women !

Yes sergeant,

We carried on working out and we reached a point where we couldn't take it anymore ,

She was really cruel that she ended up increasing down few hours of punishment ,

I wonder doesn't she get tired , ? Does she like it making our lives miserable , I mean she doesn't know any of us ,

She looked tan that her white skin was darker , her hair was in a tight bun that she taught us to tie ours too. She was in her all glory dressed in her uniform , her muscles well built with a cap that screamed don't mess with me and my position .

A real bad ass ,

Now on your knees ! She yelled once more , I was panting like a fog , the t-shirt and the pants that I was wearing felt heavy on my body , I smelt awful and my whole body couldn't take it anymore after all the exhaustion.

Some have already given up in which they have already been warned and up for a second punishment .

Y'all .. it's our second day and we have ten weeks in here ..

May the lord be with all of us , we are trying our best .

I said on your knees !! We went and waited for the command .

Kneel and chant I am strong ,

"I am strong," we chanted like children ,

I am strong ..

"Louder !! " She yells passing by straightening our back ..

I am strong, I gritted out bitterly that my jaw ached ,

I am strong, I felt tears running down my face , I wasn't sure why was I even crying but I kept on yelling with the others ,

I am strong !!

Stand up !! She commands and we all did , I couldn't even stretch myself feeling my back aching ,

It's like I was passed on by a lorry , my waist ached but I didn't dare touch it . The sergeant was passing line by line ,

Great .. Take a break and we will continue our training after two hours !

Yes sergeant !! We chorused and sighed with hunger and frustration the moment she left us alone ,

One of the girls broke down crying, I can't feel my legs ... I wiped my tears and sat on the floor like my life depended on it .

I tried stretching my back but it was useless , my waist was killing me .

The same girl casy stoid , she looked worn out just like others and tired but gave me a hand .

I stood up and walked to what it looked like the canteen, The men have already started eating .

And oh, the fact is that we were separated from training with the male . And boy how they look down on us.

" I mentally scream "

I was pissed the way they looked at us and pointed their fingers to each and every one of us , more like mocking us all .

I took my plate and went to fill a Share of my food silently wishing for the day to be over and land on my little uncomfortable bed.
