Flight

The plane was about to close the doors and was already preparing for a take off when Clark's phone rang he looked at the caller's id and saw that it was leah his ex-wife yeah his ex-wife he remembered signing those divorce papers before he left San Francisco he reluctantly answered the call "hello? Leah?" he started "Clark buti sinagot mo gusto ko lang sabihin sayo na mahal na mahal parin kita Clark ayoko ng divorce dito ka nalang please wag ka ng umalis" he was about to open his mouth but a flight attendant came and ask him if he could hang up the phone he just nodded and he turned his attention back to leah who was actually crying. he can hear her sobs.

"leah I'm really sorry I have to hung up I'll be back just wait for me please" he said then hung up the plane took off but he can't take his mind off Leah he knows he can't explore Paris alone it would surely kill him I mean exploring the most romantic city without the love of his life won't happen specially now after that phone call

it was the call that changed everything knowing that the love of his life still loves him after 2 years of living seperate lives was his way of heaven Leah was everything he ever dream of but this was unexpected

3 years ago he was on Leah's shoes he was begging her to take the risk to fight for them he did everything just to be with her and now Leah was asking him if he could stay if he could forgive her after choosing her career over him he then realized his mistake Leah did not chose her career over him but Leah chose her father over him and he did not understand that he was so selfish to make her choose

both of them were imature then they needed to grow up alone before they grow up together that actually made him realize it was not Leah's fault alone it was the timing and the lessons they should learn

on the other hand Leah left the airport, tears dripping off her face she was confused with Clark's last words she was thinking how long will she wait for him? tita jack told her he would be there for good but she know in herself that she would wait for him no matter how long it takes when she got home tatang sol confronted her "Leah anak ayos ka lang? asan si Clark" tatang sol ask her with concern "huli na po nung sinagot niya yung telepono ehh nakalipad na po ang eroplano niya" she said "so ano? iniwan ka na talaga niya? hindi na ba talaga maayos yan?" tatang sol asked again they were like in an interview "ang sabi po sakin ni Clark hintayin ko daw po siya" Leah said "ehh gaano naman katagal" he asked again "hindi ko po alam" leah answered "anong balak mo?" tatang asked "hihintayin ko si Clark tang kahit gaano pa katagal ang mahalaga sakin tang ay magsama kami mahal na mahal ko po si Clark at wala na po akong ibang mahihiling pa kung hindi ang makasama ko siya siya po yung lalaking matagal ko nang hinihintay tang nung nasa Dubai ako si Clark lang ang nasaisip ko halos mabaliw na nga ako kakaisip kung mali ba yung naging desisyon ko pero ngayon po ipaglalaban ko na yung saamin kung kailangan lumuhod ako sa harap niya para lang mapatawad niya ako gagawin ko kasi tang deserve niya yun" she felt someone hugging her back she was about to turn to see but he spoke "you don't have to do that wifey andito na ako" his words was full of love and longing

she turned to see him "Clark! sorry, sorry kung mas pinili ko yung trabaho ko kesa sayo sorry kung di kita nabigyan ng oras noon sorry kung-" he cutted her words "Leah don't apologize it's also my fault for the past 2 years all I felt was anger I was angry I blamed you for our break up I did not realize that it was also my fault I was insecure I was jealous di ko naisip na nasaktan din pala kita I'm sorry kasi pinagdudahan kita kayo ni simon I can't help it you spend more time with him I am sorry Leah and don't apologize because you chose your career over me because you never did Leah you chose tatang Sol over me and that was the right choice then I was selfish para papiliin ka"

his tears fell down they were so focused about their conversation that they did not even notice tatang Sol left to give them privacy "Hindi Clark! Sorry kung hindi ako bumalik agadnang matapos ko na bayaran yung mga utang ko sa ospital sorry naduwag ako ehh natakot ako kasi baka magulo ko ulit yung buhay mo ang buong akala ko ay masaya ka na pero Clark ngayon wala na akong sasayangin na oras paulit ulit na kitang pipilitin pero sa ngayon kailangan kong piliin mo rin ako" she knelt down and said "sa ikalawa at sana dapat sa huling pagkakataon marry me and make me the happiest girl in the world" Clark was in state of shock but he said "no Leah..." Leah's tears started to escape her eyes she was disappointed witg Clark's answer he made leah stand up then he knelt down and said "make me the happiest man in the world marry me Leah ayoko ko na maulit yung dati nung hinayaan kita na lumuhod sa harap ko marry me Leah let's start over"
