Sol's:

Nag-file ako ng leave, pero for 5 days lang, mami- miss ko kase talaga si Mark eh. Gusto ko rin naman'g makita sila Mama pero nandito si Mark. Kung pwede nga lang na sumama s'ya sakin eh. Marami rin kasi s'yang aasikasuhin tungkol du'n sa album n'ya e. Ayoko naman'g maka- istorbo.

Here we are now, inside his car. Ihahatid n'ya ako sa Sligo Airport. Silent in between us, no one even talks. Like there's a very big wall between us. I dunno, but the two of us seem to be so tensed. Kasi naman e! I don't know if we're just overreacting, pero para kasi talaga sa'min ang hirap magkalayo e. We know that it's just five days, pero sobrang hirap na para sa'min.

So I took the courage to talk while he's driving. We have to take the advantage, habang may oras pa para samin'g dalawa na magkausap.


Me: Hey. (malambing na sabi ko)

Mark: Hey.. what? (while he's smiling)


Napatango ako, kase feeling ko talaga mabigat rin 'to para sakanya. His smile is really different from his smiles before. There's something that's missing. Wala'ng spark yung eyes n'ya.


Me: You ok, darling?

Mark: Y-Yeah. I'll be... for you.


Natanggal 'yung pekeng ngiti sa mga labi ko nang marinig ko 'yun galing sakanya. Bakit ba kase ang hirap para sa'min! Masyado kasi kami'ng nasanay na laging magkasama eh!


Me: Hey, please! Don't speak that way. I'll be back after 5 days, remember?

Mark: (habang nakasimangot s'ya) Y-Yeah, I know. But it's not only a JUST for me. I will surely miss you.

Me: Me too. I will. I'll miss your voice saying sweet words for me.


'Di na s'ya muli pa'ng nagsalita at tumingin sa kalsada'ng dinadaanan namin. 'Di ko na s'ya kinausap pa, baka mainis na sa ingay ko. But I can really see in his deep- blue eyes that he's very sad about my trip. I feel like he never really likes this, parang napipilitan lang s'ya na payagan ako, kase mami- miss n'ya ako. But I know that he'll never stand in my way. Nanay ko yung nandito, so I know he'll do his best not to stop me from doing this.

Mark's:

We're now here in front of the entrance of the Sligo Airport, we're still inside the car. A minute passed. She still haven't get offmy car. We're in total silent.. like we never even want to go out the car. Then, she held my hand.


Sol: Hey, I will miss you, Baby.


I looked at her in an 'if-I-could-only-stop-you--' look.


Me: Me too. I will miss you.. and I love you, always. Don't you ever forget that, ok?


She nodded her head and smiled weakly at me. There are tears that anytime can fall from her yes now. Oh please! Stop that! I don't want to see that.

I feel tears falling from my eyes now as well and I wiped it immediately so she'll never have worry about what I'm feeling.


Me: C-Can we go out now?( I said while my voice's shaking)

Sol: Y-Yeah.


She did nothing but to always nod her head, a sign that she's agreeing.

I don't know. But the moment that we went out of the car, there's something inside me that's telling me to stop her before it's too late. But I kept it inside me. If she would only hear what my mind says, she'll definitely feel worried about me.

I asked her if she's ok, but she would just always nod her head whenever I'm asking her. The sadness inside us is now visible on our faces.

The moment that we're walking near the entrance, the two of us took our own shades and wear it, so no one recognizes us. Then, she held my hand so tight while walking to the entrance. Everything seem to happen so fast.

The moment that we reached the entrance, she turned around to face me and hugged me so tight and I embraced her too, in return. A sudden slow but strong beats I felt thumping my heart. Like I'm nervous, but I know to myself that I'm not gonna lose her. But..UGH! I dunno, but I'm so worried about her.


Sol: Baby, I love you. Never forget that. I'm gonna miss you!


Tears fell from her eyes while saying those words. It actually almost tear me up inside. I know there's pain behind those words.


Me: I love you, too. I'll always love you. And just contact me whenever you have time. Always remember that...


I dunno, but the two of us became so emotional. I tried to stop every tears that will fall from my eyes. But still, it didn't work.


Me: Always call me, huh?

Sol: Yes, I will. Take care, ok? While I'm not here.. I'm gonna ask Shane and the rest of the lads to guard you for me. There might be someone who has bad intention and take you away from me. (she said while laughing a little bit)

Me: I'll never search for someone new. I swear.


I know that she just said that to atleast make the sadness in our hearts go away, even just for a single while.


Me: But, seriously, I will miss you, really. Always.

Sol: Me too. I will be gone away just for five days. So try not to miss me. 'Cos after those days, I will be back.

Me: Ok. I love you, huh?

Sol: Yeah, I know that. I love you, too.


I don't know actually how many times we said those words just in this moment. Then, the guard told us that she needs to go now. So before she enter the door she took her baggage from me, I hugged her so tight and she responded. Tears falling from our eyes again. We can't help it. We can't make it stop. It doesn't matter to me if there's so many people now looking at us. I kissed her lips and she responded torridly.


Me: Bye, always take care. Always take care cos I will not be there beside you whenever there's trouble.

Sol: Yeah, and you. Take care of yourself too. Stay happy while I'm away.

Me: Goodbye, Baby.

Sol: Goodbye, Baby!


She eventually came in the airport and looked back and waved her hands. I just looked at her and smile. I read her lips.. saying that she loves me.

Immediately, I wiped my tears and and went inside my car and started to drive back to my house.

Sol's:

I'm here now inside the plane. Ewan ko ba! Pero nami- miss ko agad s'ya! Loneliness, sadness, missing someone you love. I dunno, five days lang naman ang mawawala pero mahirap parin. I know that the consequences of this thing, that I'm coming back, will be great! Alam ko, si Mark lang ang pag- uusapan namin ni Mama.


Mark's:

I'm now in here in the house, lying on my bed and started thinking about what can I do to somehow forget this longing. I'm not planning to do any move without her here. I just don't know where to start. Is this too much to feel this unknown thing? I'm really lonely when she's not here. I miss her now. So much! Knowing the fact that there's wide distance between the two of us. I know that she'll come back. It's just that, I'm really gonna miss that girl. That special girl. The most special girl in my life!
