Because I felt like writing a reaaally short cute sappy story
-
Lights illuminating the city like stars. The boulevard trees twinkling like tinsel on christmas. And the wet road reflecting the lights. A soft chilly wind bit my skin as I stand outside the airport door, I pull the sleeves of my sweater for comfort as my thoughts get interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Jean.. halika dito sa loob." he says taking my hand leading me inside the airport lobby.
Suddenly I feel warmth and comfort. But I didn't know if it was because of him or the heater of the airport lobby.
"Kailangan mo ba talaga umalis?" I say
"I have to. This my dream, and it's finally happening!" He says with much enthusiasm.
I remember our talk about that..
"Jean! May good news ako! I finally got the scholarship on the law school i've been wanting my whole life!"
"Talaga?! That's great news! Kailan ka aalis?"
"Next week."
"Oh.. Ne-..next week?" My happiness for him suddenly turns into melancholy
"I know right?! Next week na kaagad I'm really excited!"
"Oh.. uh.. when do you plan on coming back?"
"Until grumaduate ako.. i don't plan on coming back."
"Oh! That's great! Ha ha ha. Awesome! I'm so happy for you!"
I couldn't be more happy for him that time.. We were always together since we were small, now we're going in our several paths I couldn't be more sadder. But I can't get in the way of his dreams.. I can't be selfish and let my feelings consume me.
"Oh.. yeah. Congratulations nga pala ulit.." I gave him a small smile. I felt a pang of disappointment hitting me, I'll miss him.. I'll really miss him..
I try to fight back the tears I'm helding. I don't want him to go..
"Hey I have something for you." he says.
He then takes off the locket he was wearing and gives it to me. It had a snowflake charm on it. "Here, so you'll always remember na like a snowflake, you're unique and beautiful, and special in your own way.. I hope you follow your dreams as well."
I tried not to cry. But I suddenly felt tears running down my cheek.
"We'll still be in touch right? I'm gonna miss you.." I say sheepishly
"Of course, syempre naman.. I'll miss you too.." then he pulls me into a hug.
I hold on him as tight as I could.. I wish this moment would last forever. I love him. I'll always will..
Until the departure bell rang.
