Photographs of Her

17. Break-up. Goodbye

OCEAN'S POV

"I love you, and I really don't want to let you go. But if it will ease the pain and the hurt you are feeling because of me. Then I'll let you go,but please, give me one last time to hug and kiss you goodbye." He said with tears falling from his eyes.

"I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you." He chanted while crying like a child while hugging me,I can't help but to let out my hard sobs, as I hugged him tighter.

Minutes later he let his embrace loose and caress my face as he look closely, like tracing, examining and memorizing every part of it, just in case he might forget about it.

"I love you." He said and leaned for a deep passionate kiss, I kissed him back crying feeling the pain, and the love I have for him.

"I hope to see you again." He smiled sadly and walk past me. I inhaled a large amount of breath and wiped my tears. "Yeah, me too. Be well. My Engineer..." I said softly. I felt him stilled but then he started walking away again.

I did the same too. The moment I got inside my car, the emotions I am feeling earlier went broke. Umiyak ako na parang batang nawalan ng isang bagay na hindi ko na makukuha pa.

I stayed at the park for more than four hours, crying and thinking, cheering myself up. Nadine was flooding me calls and text messages since she heard that I pulled out my records on our school. Sinadya kong hindi magpakita sakanya kanina sa school habang nainaasikaso ko ang mga papeles ko for transfer. I am leaving for Germany tomorrow morning, in order for me to repair myself fast is to leave this place. I need to have a new environment wherein I can't remember him nor what happened.

"Are you really sure about this Ocean Aquiesha?" Daddy asked me for like the nth time. I just sneered and laugh at him, because up until now that we're on our way to the airport tinatanong nya parin ako kung magbabago ang isip ko,but no I'm doing this for myself.

"I know you'll miss me Dad, but I really want to go, also you don't have to worry anything since I'll be with Mami and Papi, so no sweat Kuya Wave is currently there also and he said he'll pick me up." I said while hugging my father.

Pagkarating namin sa airport ay dumaan muna ako CR bago ako pumunta kung saan ko iniwan sila Daddy. I looked at myself in front of the mirror, I'm wearing white ribbed long sleeved turtle neck and black high-waisted black jeans, paired with my black velvet 3 inch boots. I brushed my gray long hair up for a ponytail,and washed my hands before going out.

Nakita ko silang nagkukulitang dalwa ni Kuya Lake, sila lang ang naghatid saakin since Mommy can't see me off raw, and sila lang ang available, Kuya Reef is too busy right now because of a specific case, and they promised naman na bibisita sila next week.

"Bye my princess. Take care and be well okay?!" Daddy kissed my forehead for the last time before I went ahead because the announcer is already calling my flight.

Carrying my small black backpack as my hand carry I walked straightforward to the line. For the last time I waved at Kuya Lake and Daddy, I was shocked when I saw my Dad tearing up.

"Miss?" The woman smiled as she signalled me to hand my passport and ticket.

Maya-maya pa ay boarding na,hindi naman ako nahirapang maghanap ng seat dahil nasa business class ako, well Mommy booked my flight to business class para raw di ako mahirapan.

As soon I settled myself up, I plugged in my airpods and just listened to music. Sinuot ko narin ang seatbelt ko since I'm planning to sleep right now, and I wont wait for take-off.

I just closed my eyes and feel the music as I fell asleep.

I was in the middle of my deep sleep when I felt I little hand poking at pinching my nose and cheeks. I was shocked when I saw a little girl, wearing a red dress looking so curious at my face.
