Jennie's POV.
"So, you're leaving me?" I asked. Forcing myself to not break down in front of her. Not wanting to look so vulnerable.
We're both lying in our bed facing each other. She's on the right side, her left hand was holding me by my waist and I'm drawing imaginary lines on her bare naked chest.
She didn't answer my question. Instead, she leaned closer to me and pressed her plump lips into mine.
I closed my eyes as we both savor the kiss that we'll surely both miss.
"Don't leave me, Lisa." I hugged her. The thought of her not being around or so close to me is killing me already.
She put my head on her chest and kissed the top of my head that made me broke down.
"I'm not doing this for myself, babe. It's for the both of us." I know. But it still pains me. "Jenjen It's just few years. You never know, the next day I'll be here with you again. Cuddling like this. Right? The time is fast baby."
I nodded. Trying so hard to understand her. "But, until when?"
"Three years minimum. Or if they liked my work, or me. It'll take longer to at least six years." She says cooly.
My eyes widened, "What?!" Why was she so cool about this?! That's just too long! "Lisa, you can't leave me that long."
"Baby, you know we need this. For our future. For our dreams. I need this job to give us a better life."
I cried as I can't do anything to stop her from working overseas. And I know deep in my heart that she really wants to work hard. For us. For our future together. And because she doesn't want us to rely on my family's wealth. And that's what I admired to her. And I know she can.
-------
I hugged Lisa so tight before she gently pushed me and kissed me all over my face. She doesn't want me to go with her at the airport but I just can't bear to not see her before she go.
My heart is clenching painfully.
I'm literally a mess right now.
"Jenjen, it's not like I'm not gonna go back. Smile for me, please? I can't go without seeing that gummy smile of yours." She cupped my face and kissed me on my lips. "Please baby, show me your smile." Her eyes are red as well from crying since yesterday.
"I know, I... It's just, this is the first time you'll be away with me." I hugged her tight, my face buried on her vanilla scent neck. And I kissed her there. "I'm sorry baby. For making this hard for you."
She caressed my hair and shushed me, kissing the top of my head. Until her flight was called. Instead of letting her go, I hugged her tight. This time, my Mom gently pulled me away from her.
"I'll go now. I promise to call you often. I love you." She kissed me one last time and turned her back on us. On me.
I feel like a chile whose throwing tantrums and crying to death just because their parents left them to work overseas.
My mom draped her arm on my shoulder and held me so close to her and guided me to the car.
"Lisa has a really big dreams for the both of you." I agreed. She's doing all the sacrifices for me and to our relationship. I'm so lucky to have her. She's younger than me but she cares for me like she's not. She treats me like I am the precious treasure she have. I'm always at the top of her priorities. And I'm glad I didn't think twice when I decided to bring her and introduced her to my family. My mom loved her, as well as my Dad. And it got deeper when they knew her better.
Lisa was always natural. A charmer indeed. A head turner. But we never got into the fight involving third parties. We trust each other so much and I think that's the secret to our seven-year-relationship.
"She is mom. And I love her. I hope when she get back, we could settle."
I hope. Because I want to be with her, only her until the rest of my life.

I sighed heavily, because the room- oh well, our room was cold. This was the reason why my parents doesn't want me to go home tonight. But obviously, I declined their offer for me to stay the night there. I went home and ready myself to wait for Lisa's call.
I impatiently waited at our bed. Our bed or our whole room rather that still has her vanilla scent.
I miss her so much already.
Tears welled up at my eyes again, but I harshly wiped it when my phone rang, Lisa's calling me through facetime and my heart beat rose. Just the thought of her makes my heart jump.
"Jenjen" her eyes are tired so does her body I guess. She's still removing her coat that I personally picked for her to wear.
"Just arrived there? I'm glad you're safe." I sighed. As sadness was building in me again. I know, she'll be sad. Just knowing and much more seeing me this vulnerable. But in my defense, I was used with her presence all the time.
She was always coming home to me after her work. But now, I guess I have to get used with the thought that she'll not able to do that for at least three years.
"Yep. I called you as soon as I arrived at the place where the company provided me to stay." The screen of my phone was now occupied by her chubby cheeks. Her bangs still perfectly shining and intact. "Don't miss me too much, okay?"
I sniffed, rolling my eyes playfully. "Of course! I don't even miss you, the bed now is much more wide for me. I like it now. " Though we both know it's a lie. "Plus, Lili and I can cuddle now." It's the life sized stuff toy that she gave me on our 100th day.
"Hey! Now I'm hurt." She played along, acting like a baby crying. "I feel like you'll love Lili more than me now. Should I start to worry?"
I chuckled, shaking my head. Lisa never failed to make the heavy things lighter to bear.
"Nothing and no one could replace you. I love you very very very much, Lisa." She smile wider and pouted her lips at the camera.
"I love you... Wait, you said three very so I'll answer uhm baby, I love you very very very very a billion times very so so so very----"
"Dork!"
She inhaled deeply and continues "....much, baby!" As she gave me a kiss through the camera of her phone.
I giggled, kissing the camera of my phone as well.
"Lisa, I just have one reminder to you." Her face turned serious and looked at the camera as if she's staring at me in person.
"What is it, sugar?"
"Whenever someone attempted to get into you, tell them--" Lisa cutted me.
"I'm married, and I love my wife so much. And she's a blackbelter so please, if you still love your life, stay away from me."
Even though we're not still gotten into marriage. We both say the same to those who attempts to make a move on us.
"Babe, wait up. Someone's knocking." She settled the camera at the bed, leaving it standing so I still got to see her open the door.
And my smile faded when a brunette came inside Lisa's room. But what bothered me was, the girl was almost showing Lisa her boobs, her cleavage was so visible even though at the distance of Lisa's phone camera! She was smiling at my girlfriend that made my blood boil.
"Baby, I think I'm gonna hung-up for now. The boss was calling me. Take care, okay? I'll see you soon. I love you."
"I love---" her face disappeared on the screen without even waiting for my response. "You." I sighed to myself and my overthinking came running nside my mind.
