You might be wondering who are these goons that are stalking Leila, right? Well, this is still Nicolas and his team.

"So, father, this is your plan?", Nicolas asked slowly while rubbing his forehead as he scrunched his brows trying to suppress the growing irritation inside.

"You're right, my son. This is a brilliant plan of your father", Gen. Adrianno said while smiling confidently to himself as he really thought that this brilliant plan of his will work.

"What is great at stalking Leila to church?", Nicolas said in exasperation as he never thought that he will do this in his life. He is Col. Gen. Nicolas Adrianno which has a lot of soldiers under his disposal and to top it all off he also have a lot of admirers and some even wants to climb on his bed, it's just that he ignored those women, but, look at him now, stalking a woman and the most embarra.s.sing part is that this woman is on her way to attend a Sunday's ma.s.s.

'Father, don't you feel your conscience calling you? That's a church we're heading, for goodness sake!', Nicolas cried in his heart but just decided to not voice out his opinion and sighed his growing frustration.

"Don't you worry, son. You will thank me for this later once we arrive at the church", Gen. Adrianno said as he have a smug looks on his face and is still smiling confidently.

'Fine, do whatever you want. I just hope we won't be dismissed in our military rank because of this', Nicolas said in his heart as he prayed that nothing would go wrong in here.

After a few minutes, as the church is only a fifteen minute drive with a car from Leila's house, Leila already parked her car on the parking lot of the church followed by Nicolas' car.

Then, when Leila's family entered the church, that's when Nicolas and his team started to walk out from his car. Vincent, once again decided to stay outside as he reasoned out that he might get burned inside as he haven't gone inside the church for so long. But, the truth is that, he just doesn't want to take part in one of their embarra.s.sing attempts.

The church is a typical gothic-styled structural design. It has a high ceiling which is full of painting of the angels and Jesus Christ with his apostles on the ceiling and there are also chandeliers that hanged from it. On the altar, it also has the sculpture of Jesus Christ on the cross and on the side is Mama Mary's image with also Saint Joseph on the side. The altar itself is on the center. Then, there is a podium for the Lector on the left side while another podium on the right side for the Commentator.

On the left side of the church is the choir loft which have an organ on the side and there also the seats for the Choir members which have at least twenty members with the Choir master and the pianist sitting in front of the Choir seats.

As the church have two columns of seats which probably have a fifty rows in the middle then only probably less than ten rows on the right side which faces the choir loft. Leila's family sits on the fifth row of the first column while Nicolas' team sits on the fifteenth row so that Leila won't be able to see them nor recognized them.

In fact, the quadruplets are wearing a casual clothes composing of polo s.h.i.+rt and a jeans or pants. But, the people are looking weirdly and cautiously at them as they are all wearing sungla.s.ses. Well, at least they aren't wearing a cap or a mask or else the people might call the police for mistaking them as robbers.

"So, father, what is this brilliant plan of yours?", Nicolas curiously asked.

"Well, it is simple, you just have to sit beside her then when the choir starts to sing of 'the Lord's prayer' , you just have to grab her hand then whisper on her ear, 'Can I court you Leila', then give her your handsomest smile. Isn't amazing?", Gen. Adrianno said as he wriggles his brows while he excitedly exclaimed his 'brilliant plan' of his.

Nicolas still has a doubt towards this plan.

Then he exclaimed, "But, what if she breaks my hands instead as she thought that I am hara.s.sing her? Remember father, she's also a soldier". As Nicolas remembered that she's also one of their excellent soldiers before they were captured.

"Don't you worry, son. She won't do that. Besides, we are inside of the church, she won't do something violent inside", his father a.s.suring him once again that nothing would go wrong with his plan while he pats Nicolas shoulder.

Nicolas just sighed then prayed that nothing would go wrong in this plan of his.

The ma.s.s started as the Choir started to sing the starting song of the ma.s.s. Then, the readings and psalm had finished up to the gospel and homily. All throughout the ma.s.s, Nicolas tried to attentively listen to it but as the time goes by he become very nervous.

When everyone started to stand up after the homily, his father pats his back harder indicating that he should now move towards the vacant seat beside Leila. He stealthily went in there while acting like he is late at ma.s.s and that is the only vacant seat he saw.

Leila just let him be as she didn't recognize it as Nicolas. So, the ma.s.s continued and once peace be with you has been announced Nicolas hurriedly bowed his head to Leila so that she won't see his face and then he just nod to his father with his brother and Luis' direction.

Then, after a few moments, before the choir started to sing the 'Lord's prayer', Nicolas looked sideways to his father's direction to ask for an a.s.surance and they just give him a thumb's up with an encouraging smile. So without looking towards Leila's direction, as the choir started to sing, he grabs her hands and tried to sing the 'Lord's prayer' as calmer as he can be though he knows that his heart is currently beating rapidly right now.

He tried to feel her hands but something is quite wrong, it still like a woman's hand as it is small but he felt like it is too rough and feels like an old woman's hand instead. Then suddenly he heard the woman beside her started to sneeze so she take back her hand as she uses it to wipe her snot then, once again hold Nicolas' hand as the song haven't ended yet.

Nicolas felt like his body started to s.h.i.+ver as he already deduced who might this be, and he is right. When he turns his head mechanically towards his left side, he saw that the woman beside her is none other than Leila's grandma. He just didn't took notice of it as he focuses his eyes on the altar earlier adding up his nervousness, he didn't realized that before the choir sang her grandma which seated beside Leila earlier, hurriedly changes seat with her.

Still feeling the sticky thing on his hand, Nicolas hurriedly excused himself as he runs outside the church to look for the comfort room. Then, he saw that his team also went out of the church as he also went outside but, they hurriedly went inside the car and probably locked the door, once again.

Mission: Capture Leila's heart
