Strange happenings won't stop trailing Ted, even when he likes to keep is cool and stay on a low key. Contrary to what most of y'all think, he's a cool, quite, compassionate and easy going guy. Though he feels no pain, yet he's not cold hearted, this makes him probably the strangest man ever to thread the planet earth, as most people with his nature are always brutal and cold hearted. Well, Ted eventually got to the school of army and all is always fine with him, the lecture sessions, the hall, the dinning most especially his favourite part, which is the drilling. He is never tired of drilling, in fact he works extra mile like the popular Nigeria's pain killer balm ('aboniki'). He's never tired of training, he's always on the field at the slightest chance to be. Sleep, No! Eat, he only does that when pressed by his fellow comrades. They all admire his strength, courage, bravery, determination, accuracy, speed, calmness, gentleness, kindness and his potential brutality at the battle field if called on to defend his country for they've seen him handle various armoury ranging from sub-machine gun to a tank itself. He's just good at what it does.
He trains like a mad dog, his fellow comrades would've found it difficult to relate with him if not for the fact that they know he's peaceful and cool. He his loved by all, (OK that's an exaggeration) cos there's this guy who was the dethroned by Ted. They call him PK (Push up King), his real name is Trendo. He was the champion before with a record of 600 push ups at a stretch. But trust Ted who had hit that record since age 18. He didn't just break his record, he broke it convincingly at a particular challenge they used to observe amidst fellow comrades. He did 950 push ups carrying a particular lady called Tracy on his back. Ok who is Tracy? She's a 'nurse-soldier'. She's there in the school of army as a nurse. She's one of the health team attach to Ted's battalion. Tracy is also a hard working lady who by natural instinct get drawn to Ted cos of his commitment to the clarion call. She didn't limit herself to just nursing as she believed that a need may arise for her to handle armoury too one day at the battle field. So Ted dethroned Trendo, so he became his arch-enemy. Well Ted gat his shades on 24/7 so he saw no hatter. Meanwhile Tracy is feeling the hit of affection radiating from Ted who only did all he was doing out of a heart of friendship, he's would dare not loose guard of his feelings, he's too focused on being a true and dedicated soldier, and Tracy keeps hoping he will be more than a friend one day. Don't blame Tracy, blame it on Ted, his gestures were kinda extreme as he took her punishment several times, don't blame it on Ted either, blame it on his endurance and strength. He would do almost anything to protect Tracy. 'I think I like you, you know, as a friend' said Ted to Tracy one gracious evening (after their usual evening workout) which was the best moment of her life. 'Finally there's hope' she thought to herself even when Ted didn't say anything about dating her or asking her out. Ted continued 'you're smart, strong, focused, brave and you're just different from other gals' 'Thanks' Tracy replied, she had to hide her feeling, so that she won't seem cheap to Ted. She gave him a hug and left him. 'I know you not satisfied yet' she said swinging her waist in her 'kaki' as she walked away, leaving Ted behind to his personal drilling. To Tracy, It was a lovely evening as she and Ted talked about their childhood and upbringing, which is a sign that they were going somewhere. Ted didn't have much to say as he never knew his dad and grew up in an orphanage. Tracy had a few to say, 'Mum's dead, dad left so I grew up with my uncle, Tess by name'. That's the summary. They shared other personal information which I'm sure fueled their fire of love. 
After several moments of fun, Ted told Tracy he loved her and would like her to be his gal, that moment, Tracy couldn't hide no more she had to let go and express her feelings too by planting a deep kiss into Ted's lips almost immediately after his pick-up line. 'Wooo! I can't believe I just did that' they both echoed together like they've rehearsed that particular line.
The end has come to their training and now they are to face their final test, in a battle prototype when soldier teams up against fellow comrades. Ted was the leader of his battalion and Trendo  was the leader of his. While Tracy and her colleagues were also attached to both groups as it pleases their instructor. Fate had it that Tracy was assigned to Ted's team. During the course of the final exercise Ted's team was outstanding which wasn't easy as Trendo also had qualified comrades to face Ted's squad, Ted got shot several times in the act of defending the comrades he lead to battle and whenever Tracy or any other nurse comes to attend to his wound he'd say 'don't worry take care of him first (referring to any wounded comrade around him), mine is just a scratch, I'll be fine, if you don't mind, I've gat some people to kill' and off he'd go, this baffled Tracy a lot and couldn't comprehend where he got that huge strength and endurance from, he never rested until the last man on Trendo's squad was down, and whenever he got hit with bullet, he repeats his routine 'squeeze and laughter'.
The battle is over, Ted's squad won. And they celebrated the victory in the soldiers way.
Sooner than you think it's time to go home. Ted and Tracy had to say goodbye. Tracy cried her eye balls off their sockets, Ted as usual 'squeezed and smiled', which made Tracy gave him a kiddish hit on his broad chest.
'Pls never stop calling and sending me mails' said Tracy. 'Definitely I won't 'said Ted and so they departed.

THE MAN THAT NEVER CRIES. Part6; The concluding part

Back to the retired general's house, Ted was welcomed glamorously as the old man (now in his mid 60s) organized a lil welcome party for Ted. And after the party, the old man called Ted outside in the garden congratulated him and started a serious discussion about life after training. 'Now you need a woman son' the old man said. 'Actually there's this gal I met in school, she's Tracy by name' he said, he removed his necklace, opened the pendant and showed the old man Tracy's picture. It's a pencil work, by Ted himself, he's yet to show Tracy, he was planing enlarging it and presenting it to her at a dinner in her apartment right in the presence of her uncle while he proposes with a ring. 'Oh! She's such a beautiful young woman' the old man said. 'When do I get to meet her?' 'She will be coming over next month, I invited her for thanksgiving' he replied.
Soon it's thanksgiving day, Tracy was well dressed which was really impressing to the old man who won't stop talking about her after she left.
Finally, it's proposal day, Ted well dressed in a black blazers, and a ash color jeans, he rode in a black Ford which was a welcome gift from the old man, 4months ago. Tracy couldn't wait to see Ted as she's also fully dressed in a wine color gown. 'You're looking beautiful more than ever' Ted said as Tracy opened the door for him. 'Thanks hon' she replied with a hug and kiss. 'Uncle! Ted is here' she screamed from the sitting room. 'I'm coming, just a sec' Tess replied from inside. 'What will you eat or drink?' Asked Tracy. 'Let me do this before I lose my gut' replied Ted.
Tracy couldn't believe what she saw, as Ted unveiled the portrait of her picture he drew himself and now on his kneel with the ring. There on his kneel, Tess joined them, he was very shocked as Ted was reciting his lines of proposal. With excitement, Tracy looked at her uncle's face, which was saying something different from what she's feeling at that moment, Ted also noticed Tracy's abrupt quietness, so he looked up to Tess to know what's wrong. 'No it can't be, said Tess'. Tracy now crying, 'but why Uncle?' She asked and so did Ted. 'It can't be'.
Ted stood up, sweating like 'Christmas ewu(goat)' Tracy was more shocked as she had never seen Ted in such a mood, scared and confused. 'What's wrong, do they know each other from some where?' These were the questions that rushed to her mind, mean while Ted's facial expression kept growing worse by the second, from shocked to confused, then to scared. What could've scared the fearless, brave, courageous and ever smiling/laughing Ted? Tracy demands in her mind like she's consulting an oracle for a quick and reliving answ
er. Finally, uncle Tess asked Ted who his mum was, 'she left me in an orphanage' he said. 'And your dad?' 'I never knew him' he replied. 'Please, uncle tell me what's going on' Tracy said crying. 'Just old on baby, I'll be back' said Tess. He rushed into his room and brought out the picture of a pretty young lady, showed it to Ted. 'Do you know the woman in this picture?' Tess asked Ted. Ted, now shivering all over his body which made Tracy more scared. 'Can someone please tell me what's going on here' she demanded again. 'Baby please calm down' said Tess as he turned to Ted to receive the answer to his question. 'Yes, I... I know her, this...this is my mum' Ted replied 'and how come you have her picture?' Ted also demanded. Tracy now almost fainting 'That's my mum!' She screamed. Ted noticed Tracy was staring at his chicks, he touched his right chick, he looked at his palm, he was shocked at what he saw... TEARS ROLL DOWN THE CHICKS OF THE MAN THAT NEVER CRIES.

THE END.
