"This is so good" I murmured as I took another bite of the burger.

"Yeah, it's not bad" he mumbled as he sipped Pepsi from the XL cup.

"How long will we take to reach, my butt is getting sore" I complained as I wiped my hands.

"Mam, I'm the one who's driving for the last 7 hours" he chuckled as he looked at me.

"But you are an iron man not me" I chuckled as I put my seat belt on.

"We are almost there, just take a quick nap" he told me "I took a two hour nap already" I looked at him.

"But you just ate two king size burgers so, you can nap again" he chuckled as I nodded, nothing else to do I better just close my eyes & try to relax but I really did sleep off & as I opened my eyes we were already there. He didn't wake me up for god knows what reasons but he wasn't there, I got down from the car & gazed around it was an airfield. I kind of recognised the place as I felt a dejavu feeling coming towards me "Santiago" I called as I stood outside an old garage.

"I'm here" he waved at me as he walked towards me.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"You don't remember?" he looked at me as I looked around & then it came to me, this was the airfield from four years ago. The same place where Santiago & I said goodbye as he kissed me & said "I wish, I would see you again".

"Why did you bring me here?" I looked at him.

"Because this was the very place where I lost everything because you walked away from me & even though I had million of dollars in my pocket, I felt like the poorest man in the whole wide world. A man who had nothing because I was empty & broke inside...the light that you gave me, faded when you boarded that airplane & flew away back to your hometown & this guy right here had nothing else but money. A thing he always wanted but it didn't make sense anymore because he had no one to share with & nothing to do with it" he said.

"Awww that's so sweet of you but you didn't have to bring me here, to tell me this...you could have told me back home or anywhere, why drive so many hours & waste your time & energy" I looked at him.

"Because I wanted to & because I wanted to feel what I felt when you left me here, how empty I was I lived 30 years of my life without love & then I found you & I lost you in a week's time but coming back here after 4 years the same day that you left me here heart broken but now with you, makes my heart beat again because I feel alive once more" he told me.

"Oh my god it's the 18th of June, how did you remember?" I chuckled, that was the day I finally left them all & went back home.

"I never forgot" he admitted "I know this might be stupid for you or you might be thinking I'm rushing things but you make me whole, you make me the person I want to be. You make me a better version of myself, when I saw you that day at Gabriel's I felt something that I've never felt & I knew it was love. I'd have died for you on the spot I swear, but I could never tell you what I really felt for you because I knew you would be gone & I'd be empty but I made a mistake I should have told you how I felt, even thought it might be the dumbest thing I've ever said to anyone because I swear without you my life has no meaning in it & I'm scared as hell that you will walk away from me once again. Leaving me on the edge like you always do so I don't want to waste any more time but tell you that I really truly love you, we could have met under any circumstance in life & I'd have love you the same" he said, then he took a deep breath "I want to spend the rest of my life with you Anastasia so, will you do me the honour & marry me?" He asked me as he got down on one knee.

Oh my god really I thought to myself, I loved him but I've never thought of marrying him because we have never been together even if we are together it's long distance & we have never spend real quality time together. I can see that he was curiously looking up at me as I lost in my thoughts, don't make a dumb move I said to myself as I pressed my lips "I've never thought of us being married anytime soon because we have never really been together in the same place for long...but I'd be a fool if I walk away from you, a man who protected & saved me took a bullet for me & then waited three long years & then now this...driving me to the most deserted location because we shared a very important moment here & so I'd say yes, yes & a yes because if I didn't then you will literally be on one knee, for the rest of your life" I sniffed as I nodded my head as he beamed & pulled me into a hug as he put the ring on my finger & damn it was a big stone.

"I love you" he whispered as he kissed my head & hugged me tighter "I love you too" I mumbled.

"For a moment I freaked out, because I thought you were planning to run away" he chuckled.

"I was" I joked as tears welled up my eyes "I think, I gave the longest & the lengthiest yes ever in the history of man kind" I chuckled as he wiped a tear.

"Yes, you did" he sniffed.

"That was beautiful, what you said back there...I mean you always have the right words to say" I said as I snuggled in his chest.

"Because I love you" he rubbed my back.

"Now let's head home before it gets dark" I said as I looked down on my diamond ring, it was sparkling as the sun was going down.
