I was sitting on the bed watching him move from here and there .
He was collecting all the stuff he needed and placing them in his bag.
I asked him if he needs help but, he wanted to do it his way.
I was just looking at him thinking about how it would feel for 4 months without him.
His eyes were busy checking whether everything was packed perfectly.
I moved towards the kitchen packed some food for him.
Tears started flowing from my eyes just by realising how hard it was going to be without him.
Soon I wiped it off , avoiding him to notice. I didn't wanted to make it more worse for him.
Suddenly he came  out with his packed bag.
It was happening for real.
He was leaving me  .
I looked into his eyes , a sense of confusion in them.
I kept looking straight into his eyes.
Suddenly the his frowned eyebrows ,released . His eyes locked into mine. Tears were about to flow from his eyes. My eyes screaming out loud " please dont go". His eyes answering back with helplessness.
I didn't wanted to be selfish but the thought of him being away tore me from inside.
We sat in our car.
He was driving it.
I still kept looking at his face.
I knew he noticed.
But he didn't look at me.
I tried to switch on the radio.
Our favorite song was on the track.
As if God was testing my patience level. Trying to make it worse.
I couldn't manage but cry. The silent cry.
I moved my face  to the  opposite  of him so that he could not see me.
I managed to look out of the window , everything seemed blur. The tears were covering my entire eyes, i could hardly see anything.
We spoke nothing.
The song continued to play and my tears continued to flow.

Suddenly I felt something on my hand.
A familiar touch.
The touch i was craving for.
He placed his hand on mine and started to slightly rub it.
I still didn't look at him, instead i locked my fingers as tight as could with his. 
He took my hand , entangled with his and kissed it, placing my hand against his chest.
Tears flowing out and still no word spoken.
Suddenly the car came to a halt.
A felt as if someone has placed a huge rock on my chest.
We were finally at the airport.
I quickly moved my face towards his.
My heart sank when i saw him in tears.
The emotions were so high at that moment.
I looked at him wiped his tears .
He didn't look at me.
I knew he was more in pain.
I used my other hand and moved his faced towards me.
Our eyes met once again,reaching each others soul.
Red with tears . He pulled me closer and gave me a warm and tight hug,for about 10 seconds.
Wiping of his tears he unlocked his seatbelt and unlocked the door.
He was preparing to leave.
As he was about leave i pulled his hand back as strong as i could.
He looked at me . I nodded my head saying him please don't do this.
He learned forward give me a kiss on my forehead.
He then stepped out of the car.
I wiped my tears and unlocked my seatbelt and opened the car door.
He removed his bag, nd placed it in the trolley.
He looked me handed the car keys to me nd held my hand for the one last time. The warmth , that touch was all i was going to miss.
He gave me a hug and proceeded.
I was looking at him.
He entered the airport. I was still looking at him through the glass .
I stayed there for 5 more minutes.
Suddenly i saw him coming back. My eyes widened. He came near the glass and said something.
" I love you " was what his lips motioned.
I smiled back blew a flying kiss and waved him a good bye.
