Jax's POV

Kakarating ko lang sa JFK Airport. (John F. Kennedy Airport) My flight will be in 30 minutes. To kill the time, umupo muna ako sa isang café sa labas "One Iced frappuccino please" I said and smiled. The waitress nod and leave "J-jax?" I turn my head around and saw Ezra's smiling face "I knew it was you" she said as she smiled widely. She hugged me and I hug her back "Oh my! It's been a long time" she patted my back "Yeah" I said at kumalas sa yakap "How are you? Wow, you're still the same Jax I knew 3 years ago.."she chuckled "and you still have that 'appearance' of yours" she said and looked at me from head to toe. I just laugh and shake my head "By the way, what are you doing here?" I asked her. "I'm going to fetch my--"

"Mommy!" Sabay kaming napalingon ni Ezra sa likod niya. She chuckled "I'm fetching my daughter" she said as she lift her daughter "Honey, this is tito Jax. Say hi to him" she waved at me and smiled "Hi Tito Jax" napangiti ako "Hi sweetie, what's your name?" she smiled sweetly "My name is Azalea Carlisle Abrenica" napahinto ako. She has the same name with her "Hi Azalea" I said and smiled. Natawa ako nung bigla siyang namula "See? Pati bata nagkakagusto sayo" natatawang sabi ni Ezra. Natawa nalang rin ako.

"All passengers travelling to Philippines on flight FR3421 please have your boarding passes and passports ready for boarding. Flight FR3421 now boarding at gate 21"

"That's my flight" I said and stand up. "Okay, I guess I'll see you around" Ezra said. I nod "Advance merry christmas tito Jax" Azalea said. I smiled at her "Advance merry christmas" I gave her a forehead kiss "Bye" kinuha ko ang Iced frap at maleta ko and waved them goodbye. As I'm walking through gate 21, naalala ko bigla si Carlisle. I sighed.

Not all people whose been a part of your life will stay. Some will just come to teach you a lesson. Some will come for a purpose. Either to change you or you're the one to change her. I'm so stupid. Yes, I know that. I'm letting you go not because I don't love you. I'm letting you go because I can't force you to love me again the way you used before. I'm letting you go because I can't afford to break your fragile heart.

I'm letting you go because letting go does not mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to. I'm letting you go, letting go is hard but holding to someone not knowing you're hurting her is the hardest. You deserve someone better. You don't deserve me. I don't deserve you. Hindi ko namalayan na may tumulo na pala ang luha sa mga mata ko. Goodbye Carlisle, I'm leaving all our memories here in NY and that is the best thing to do. I guess.

"Good afternoon! Where are you flying to today?" The TSA asked me "Philippines" I said. She nods
"May I have your passport, please?" I gave her my passport. Tumango siya at tumingin ulit sakin. "Are you checking any bags?" She asked me again. I nod "Just this one" I said "OK, please place your bag on the scale" tumango ako at nilagay ang maleta ko sa scale malapit sa kanya "Here are your boarding passes - your flight leaves from gate 21A and it'll begin boarding at 3:20. Your seat number is 26E" she smiled at me and gave back my passport "Thanks" tumingin ako sa phone ko. It's 3:15, I still have 5 minutes, papasok na sana ako nung may yumakap sakin.

"Please don't go, please don't leave me please please" her voice is familiar. I turn my head around.

"Carlisle?"

Annie's POV

"Ate, he's in JFK Airport. Sa pagkaka alam ko, his plane will leave at 3:20" Hana said through text. Damn it! Kanina pa ko na stuck dito sa traffic. It's 3:10 already and I have 10 minutes left. Hana explained everything to me a week ago.

Flashback

"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Nag aalalang tanong ko at niyakap siya ng mahigpit. "A-ate. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" she said as she cried. Kumalas ako sa yakap "Teka, anong nangyari? I said worriedly. She wiped her tears and looked at me "I'm sorry for telling you a lie, I'm so sorry" nangunot ang noo ko "Lie? What lie?" I asked her. "Kuya Jax really loves you" I sighed "Hana, if we're going to talk about please wag mo nang ituloy. He's happ-"

"He ditched his wedding dahil sinundan ka niya sa airport" nagulat ako sa sinabi niya "W-what?" She released a big sigh "He... kuya Jax really loves you ate and I witnessed that. For 2 years, he's here in NY just to find you" she said. Hindi agad ako nakasalita "But, what about the b-baby?" Umiling siya "It's just a lie ate. Nagkababy nga si Janine pero hindi yun anak ni kuya. The child belongs to Mike Sabella" mas lalo akong nagulat sa sinabi niya. M-may anak na si Mike? That's why umuwi siya ng pilipinas dahil.. Darn it! "The night before the wedding ate, pumunta sa condo ni kuya Jax si Mike at that time, nandun rin ako. He told kuya to ditch the wedding at sinabi niya rin na buntis si Janine at anak niya yun. I'm sorry ate for telling you na magkakababy na sila ni kuya Jax. I'm so sorry" she said sincerely. I hug her tightly "Thank you, thank you for telling the truth Hana" I said almost whispering.

...

Pagdating ko sa loob ng airport, hinanap ko agad si Jax. "Ate" nagulat ako nung biglang sumulpot si Hana "I'm going to help you" she said. Ngumiti ako at tumango, then we separate ways.
Takbo dito, takbo doon. Where can I find you babe? I hope I'm not too late. I said then tears formed in my eyes. I'm becoming hopeless right now. how can I find him? Andaming tao dito sa airport! "Thanks" that voice, that's his voice!

"Jax"

Napalingon ako sa likod ko. I released my tears. Nakita ko na papasok na siya sa loob. Tumakbo ako sa kanya at niyakap siya sa likod. "Please don't go, please don't leave me please please" I said and cried.

"Carlisle"

"I can't lose you because if I ever did, I'd have lost my best friend, my soul mate, my smile, my laugh and my everything"
