LOVING FROM AFAR...

CHAPTER 45 : THE END

GABRIELLE POV

Two 24 hours. That's what she said. I will wait for two 24 hours and I will know if made the right decision. My last 24 hours came and I'm scared. This place is beautiful. It is what I have seen on Tv and Internet. The different is the feeling. Inside I  feel it's not the place for me.

I want to wait. I want to wait for the last second of the last 24 hours I have. I want to know if what I did is a mistake or not. Though I feel it was. My hope is still there, a little but still there.

I want to find a right place to wait and the train stop at the Airport. I remember her. How she help me get though the flight telling her story. How I became so hopeful and faithful that what me and Gab have is true love.

"A heart talk even from afar. It does love even from afar. No distance. No boundaries. Miles cannot stop the power of it."

Paulit ulut niyang sinabi. Paulit ulit rin na nirerecall ng utak ko.

I hold on to that.I hold on the hope left in me. Though I didn't understand what she was trying to say about waiting for the answer still I want to try. Maybe I can find the answer here at the Airport.

Yet, 24 hours nearly end and still wala akong naiintidihan. Anu ba ang ibig sabihin ? Paano ko ba makikita? Ang tanga ko talaga. Kung anu anong kabaliwan na ang pinapasok ko sa utak ko.

I decided to left and feel the familair pain again. The pain that still living in my heart. Every steps is equivalent to a teardrops until I can no longer stop it.

A little girl in a fairy dress approach me. She's pulling the hem of my shirt so I bend down to her and wipe my tears. She smile and point me her toy wand.

"Your tears will be gone and a dust of happiness will be upon you.."

She said  and move her hand circularly. Before I can say anything her Mother pick her up. She's like an angel. Nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad ng biglang ramdam kong may sumusunod sa akin. Napatigil ako.

"don't tell me you're running away again."

Sa pagkakataong yon alam ko that my wait is over.

"I'm a beggar now. I lost my car, my phone, and I almost get killed when I sell those video games too. The boys nearly choked me to death.I have nothing but a 50 euro in my pocket. How come a 4 ticket and a hotel worth like a lifetime?"

Walking in those crowded place, his hand on mine holding me tightly.

"Kung ganun magtatrabaho ka sa akin para may kakainin ka sa loob ng dalawang linggo."

"grabe ako na nga bumili ng ticket mo pabalik."

"Take it or take it?"

he smiled playfully.

"if I agree it means I will stick with you everywhere you go?"

"kind of..except in some personal matter"

I smirk blinking at him. Ngumiti siya kissing my hand.

"then Im hired."

Hindi ko naintindihan hanggang sa narinig ko ang boses niya at naging sigurado ako ng makita ko ang mukha niya.

"A true love cannot last within 48 hours of no connection. It will find a way to reconnect the two hearts that been separated by trials. It will always find its way even how far.""

"How can I know if it's true love? And what if this is a mistake?"

"You will know. Like what I did. I've waited..within 48 hours I find my answers. You do that too.."

I never understand. Until now. Talking to her inside plane is the only things I never regret. Hindi ko alam kunhmg sino siya ang alam ko katulad ko naransan niya rin lahat ng nararanasan ko. She gave me back my hope.

"by the way why are you at the airport earlier? Did anyone told you I'll come?..but wala naman ang may nakaalam?"

Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at hinarap siya. Looking directly into his eyes and smelling his familiar scent.

"Our love will always be true even its from afar. Some old woman told me that and a little fairy gave you to me."

"I love you even you are weird"

"I love you more Carlo Gabriel Guerrero."

Beneath a dark sky. Behind the moonlight and a sparkling stars, outside the crowded Airport of Italy ,he hold me closer and press his lips to mine.
