10 YEARS GAP ( Book 1 ) [ ✔ ]

Chapter ᵗʷᵉˡᵛᵉ

#tenyearsgap

Four years have passed since na Umalis si Mika sa pilipinas, ako dito parin sa pilipinas at hinihintay siya.

I marked my words to her, kahit Hindi kami nagkikita ay tinatawag ko siya at nag fa-facetime naman kami paminsan-minsan. She was busy with school, now that she is a collage student and a flight stewardess in process, she tries her best to find time to call me and to ask how have I been.

I can't explain in words how much I thank her for changing my life, for being here with me ever since the time I lost my faith in love. And how she healed my loneliness and how she never gave up loving me and holding on to me kahit may iba akong Mahal noon.

I know our gaps are our walls that keep as away, but love is our strength to Break the walls. She knew how much I hold on to being an independent man who taught of giving a beautiful life to another lady but now I knew she was the lady that I should be working hard for. She was there to hold on to my shoulders and lessen the ache, and she was there in a short time but I Thank her that in her short time she managed to help me carry the heavy weight in my shoulders.

Now Im sure I love her.

I met her in the shop, a little girl who gazed at me, but I shrugged it off because it was way impossible she would be allured by a man like man.

She laughed and did crazy things with me, even if she was young still she understood my pain and she relieved it all with her smile and her positivity. When Athena wasn't there she was there to cope up with me, she tried her best to impress me... She did silly things just to get an attention from me.

I fell for her because of that guts she shows and that feelings she try to show me, set aside that I rejected her. That wasn't a way to stop her from amusing me more and more everyday, till I fell for her and I can't stand up but just fall for her more and more.

She loved me for my worst so now she sure as hell deserves me at my best.

And it's my turn to repay her for the love she showed.

I gave my passport to the lady and proceeded to the plane and waited for hours to pass by and so I can arrive to London and be with her for the rest of my years.

I can't fall asleep because reality feels so much better than my dreams.

Nakarating din ako nang London tinawagan ko si Mika para tanungin asan siya.

"Mika? Asan ka ba?"

[Sa school bakit?"]

"Miss na kita."

[O.A mo.]

"Asan ka sa school mo?"

[Library. Nagbabasa ako nang ideas for future home, gusto ko mag tayo nang bahay sa future. And nag aaral din ako para sa Medicine ko.]

"Kasama ba ako sa plan nang bahay mo?"

[Siyempre naman, Ikaw driver ko.]

I laughed because of her humor.

"Mahal kita." Bigla kong wika at walang imik si Mika sa kabilang linya.

[Akala ko friend lang tayo.] I imagined her face pouting.

"Mahal kita, Mahal na Mahal."

[Uh. Eh.] Nauutal siya

I ended the call because I took a cab to send me to here university para I surpresa siya, gusto ko siyang Masaya ngayon na finals na nila.

Dumating ako sa school dala-dala pa'rin ang maleta ko, I strolled it and sat on a bench where there were not much of a students. Tinawagan ko si para pumunta dito,

"Mika?" Bungad ko.

[Inend call mo kanina, nagtatampo ako ] she said and I can still imagine her pouting even if I haven't seen her personally for 4 years now.

"Punta ka sa labas nang school mo at may bench, dalian mo walang Tanong okay."

[Huh? What do you mean--]

I ended the call and waited for her to follow my instructions, Gabi na pero andito pa'rin siya sa school at nagaaral. What a hard working lady.

I waited for a few minutes till I saw her looking around. I called her name as I stood up, she faced me and then she gasped and held her chest and the other hand in her mouth still astonished.

"Mar- Mark?"

She ran to me so fast that I flinched when she hugged me, she looked tall now. Her hair is longer than before and she has bangs while her glasses were hanging on her shirt.
She was wearing a pink sweater and a blazer on top, and fitted jeans. She looked so different already, shes grown up now.

"Mark!!! Why a-are yo-you here." She kept stuttering holding my face examining it if it was real. "I wanted to see you." I simply answered then I cupped her face,

I was staring at her intently

"Mika, let's live together." I muttered making her jaw drop.

So then I kissed her, I saw how her eyes was still open in shock. Then she kissed me back passionately this time, her hands were on my neck and mine were on her waist. Our lips were moving like a rhythm, she was taller but not taller than me now so I wouldn't need to adjust anymore. "Mark, I love you too." She said in between the kiss.

"I love you more, My love." Then this time she was now hugging me.
