10 YEARS GAP ( Book 1 ) [ ✔ ]

Chapter ᵉˡᵉᵛᵉⁿ

Kinabukasan ay nag handa na kaming Umalis, "Dalian mo naman diyan Mika" tawag sa'kin ni andrew sa baba nang bahay.
"Patience is a virtue stupid!" Sigaw ko. "Mawawala na ang virtue nang Patience ko dahil sa'yo!" Hindi naman siya papatalo. "Edi wow." I ended our scenario and went downstairs kasi tapos na rin akong mag bihis and preparing stuffs.

As I went down stairs I saw how many our bags were, how busy tita was for our trip, how she thinks of our situation in my family, how she's not related to us but she is related by heart. I love how she respects and takes care of us, and how she simply think that not by blood but by heart could change our relationship.

My mom was so lucky to find a bestfriend like tita.

I was so excited to leave because I would see mark, and I would confess my feelings for him for the last time before I leave. I prepared myself, I was like memorizing the lines that I would say to him. I was scared I but know that this would be the last and I would make it the best one yet.

Nakalabas na kami nang bahay at lahat nang maleta at bagay ay nasa ibang sasakyan kaya kami ni tita at andrew ang magkasama sa  ibang sasakyan at naka handa na sa pag alis. Malungkot man tignan na aalis na ako sa bahay na minahal ko, dapat din ako matuto mag palaya. Katulad nang feelings ko para kay Mark.

I heaved a sigh and taught about my life in London.

Dumating kami sa airport at nakita ko si mark na naka tayo at naka sandal sa pader at nag wave ako to get his attention, this time I let out all my urge to hug him. I embraced him so tight and started crying, umuna na si andrew at tita sa unahan at binigyan nila kami nang space para magpaalam sa isa't isa.

"Ma-Mark." Humihikbi parin ako. Naka hawak si mark sa baba ko at sinasabihan akong Hindi ako dapat umiiyak, "Mika, why are you crying?" He utters still holding my chin, "mark, may sasabihin ako sa'yo. Please listen to me carefully." I pleaded wiping my tears and now taking his hand for me to hold. He looked at our hands and back to my eyes that were wet because of tears.

"Pag-ibig ko para sa'yo ay namumukadkad araw-araw na para bang bulaklak, pag nakita ang iyo'ng malawak na ngiti ako ay nabubuhayan. Kaya't wag mo akong iiwan, dito ka lang yakapin mo ako nang mahigpit .... Kasi Alam ko na...

Mahal na kita. Noon pa."

Now Nagawa ko na...Sinabi ko na kay mark ang nararamdaman ko, I let out my persistence in confessing to him na Mahal ko na talaga siya, kahit malaki ang agwat naming dalawa. Wala na ako'ng pakealam, as long as I told him the words that were stuck in my tongue all along. He looked at me and now he was smiling finding my gaze he wiped my tears and said. "Mika, di naman ako aalis. Ikaw 'yung aalis ah!" He managed.

"Pe-pero please...Mark..." He cuts me off by hugging me.

"Di kita pwedeng halikan, I knew all along you were the one there for me but I was a coward because of our Gaps. I found myself falling for Athena but that was because I felt lonely, now I felt so complete because of your presence...at alam ko na totoong pag ibig ang nararamdaman ko habang kasama kita Mika. I just can't say it because you are to young and I am too far from you, But now I want to fill our gaps with love and faith." He muttered and was still hugging me but his words were clear to me....he was really falling for me all along. And MANHID ako!!

"Mark" I stood up firmly from him and now we are not hugging each other. "Wait for me." Now I wasn't stuttering and I felt proud to say that. He nodded and said "Kaya kitang hintayin kahit na Maputi na ang buhok ko, kahit mawalan na ako nang hangin." I was blushing at his statement, I wonder if he was like this with Athena. But as he said he loved Athena because he felt lonely, I hugged him one more time.

"I'll be back when I'm sure na, wala na talagang pipigil sa'ting dalawa." I stated. He smelled so Good, his perfume will be my type of scent forever.

At Umalis na ako sa harap niya, hoping one day destiny would fight for our side.

Wait for me mark. Wait for me.

Nakasandal ang ulo ko sa may bintana at iniisip kong hihintayin ba talaga ako ni mark pag dating nang araw?

I trust him and I know he won't break my trust, he is a man of words. Blunting hininga ako at pumasok na sa loob.
