Love whatever is left of yourself and find it in you to start all over again.

It was 4 in the morning when I arrived at the aiport, a couple of hours early for my flight. I took a deep breath before entering the departure area. Am I really doing this? Arg no turning back Beatriz, you need this. I just shook off my thoughts, baka magbago pa ang isip ko.
I saw a coffee shop and decided to buy White Chocolate Mocha and a sausage roll. Ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng gutom. I wasn't able to eat dinner kasi last night since I need to finish all the reports for my quick escape.
I just settled near the designated departure gate. I put my earpods on to calm myself, I was a bit nervous and excited at the same time. This would be my first time to travel alone. A much needed vacation to relax and to find myself again. Hay never did I imagine myself that I'll be doing this so called soul searching. Honestly, at first, I just made fun on this hanapin ang sarili thing. How come people lose their own self. But here I am now, waiting for my flight going to somewhere that no one knows me. Hoping that my stay there would help me to meditate and let me decide on something that would make me feel better. Sobrang hirap ng may dinadala araw araw.
I started eating my sausage roll and took a sip of my coffee. I sighed as I heared the intromusic of the next song. I closed my eyes as I listened intently to Paul Klein's voice.
How'd you fail to mention that you might be moving in four months to London?
Now our days are numbered
Should I try, I wonder
Wait, how far is London?
I need my current location
To be your current location
Fly back to me
I need my current location
To be your current location
Fly back to me
Fly back to me
"Fly back to me", I whispered.
I was taken aback when someone screeched. "Oh my, I am really sorry", I didn't notice na nabitawan ko na pala ang hawak kong coffee at natapon sa katabi ko. I immediately got my hanky to wipe his leg, he was just wearing shorts kaya direct sa skin nya. Pero bago ko pa man maipunas yung hanky ko, nahawakan nya na agad ang kamay ko. Kaya naman napaangat ako ng tingin. And for the very first time, our eyes met.
"Miss, you don't have to do that", he said on a very calm voice.
"B—but, I spi—spilled my coffee o—on you". Arg Beatriz, why are you stuttering.
He just smiled at me, "Okay lang, I can do it by myself naman."
Nakatingin pa din kami sa isa't isa, I just noticed, ang ganda ng mga mata nya. Hay naku ano ba yang mga napapansin mo, Bea. Kaya nagbawi agad ako ng tingin pati na din ang kamay ko na kanina nya pa hawak.
I looked again at his leg, it was a bit reddish. I panicked as I realized "Ahhh my coffee is hot, I'm so sorry. We need to put some ointment to lessen the pain and para hindi na din mamaga". I stood up and tried to pull him up, "Come on, I'll bring you to the clinic." But he remained seated.
"Miss, calm down. You don't have to worry, it's not that mainit naman. I just need to clean this up, I have medicine kit with me. Ako na maglalagay ng ointment, meron naman ako dito", he smiled after his statement. "I guess you better pick up your phone first, kanina pa ata may natawag sa iyo."
