Say You Won't Let Go

V. His Wish, Her Wish

A/N: Still feeling giddy with all the "ganaps" lately, so I've decided to write an update. Please bear if this update will be too "sabaw" for you. Many thanks to my translator, L! ;)

P.S. Had no time to proofread (as always), so I am apologizing as early as now. Thanks! ;)

Digong's POV

"Mayor, eto pa po 'yong mga kailangan niyong pirmahan."

Bong Go entered and handed me the files waiting for my signature. I scanned it first before finally signing it. I handed it back to him.

"Salamat po, Mayor." He was about to leave my office when I called his attention.

"Nandyan na ba si Ma'am?" I asked him - trying to look as busy as possible by fixing the neatly arranged files on top of my desk. I did that on purpose because I don't want him to notice how eager I was that time to know if she's been back.

He looked at his watch before answering me. "Sabi po sa immigration kanina noong pinatawag niyo po ako, mamayang 6:30 pa raw po ang lapag ni Ma'am."

I tapped my desk lightly. "Paktay na-" I thought. I knew I was already too obvious because I suddenly remembered that I asked him about her flight a couple of times already.

"Okay, salamat man..."

"Sige po, Mayor. Mauna na po ako."

I nodded and he walked towards the door. When he's finally out of sight, I switched the television on and decided to spend my spare time watching a cooking show. When the show was finished, I felt sleepy, so I switched the TV off and decided to snooze. I didn't know how long I was able to doze off, but I was awakened with Bong's light tap on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted to the light inside the room. I noticed that it's getting dark outside. I looked at Bong and flashed him a confused look. He seemed to have understood my expression and explained why he has to wake me up.

"Mayor, sorry to wake you up..."

I smirked. "It's okay! Nagising na ako... Ano pa man magagawa natin?"

He smiled a little. I flashed the same confused look again - this time, I look more like demanding for his immediate explanation.

"The Sparrow has landed."

Leni's POV

I just arrived home from the airport and I was feeling really tired from the 16-hour flight from South Africa. Jillian was already home when I arrived.

"Hi, baby!"

She looked up from what she's doing and immediately rose from her seat and ran towards me.

"Mama!" She hugged me tightly and kissed me several times.

I was chuckling as I was telling her to be extra careful because her excitement almost made us fall.
