Parted to Meet Again

Sunday, November 4, 2007

[Thunderstorm outside.  Sound of KLIA express train passing by]

 

He entered our door, and then told me "Mahal, andito na yung van.  Samahan mo ko sa baba.  Dala ka ng payong."  I was expecting that moment, and been practising this scenario in my mind many weeks beforehand.  All efforts proved useless. 

I entered my room to retrieve a gigantic umbrella that was a freebie from our purchase of Canon Ixus75 a week ago.  He bought it for this particular travel to CZ.

Returning to the front door, I looked into his eyes and needless to say, he hugged me tight.  My eyes are welling up for the 4th time tonight.

"Alis na kami," he whispered softly while his arms are still around me.  I could only utter 'Uhm' in between soft sobs and deep intakes of air.  And then we kissed.

We then started for the door, and went downstairs to meet his colleagues who were residing at the unit in the ground floor.  One by one they took their luggages into the van parked just at the end of the walkway.  I helped him on the way to the vehicle, him holding the duffel bag and me the umbrella.  Why does it need to rain on such a sad time like this?

We walked back to the patio to get his final luggage, and told him "Hindi na ako sasama ha. Dito na lang ako."  He was starting to walk towards the pathway but stopped to get back to where I was standing.  "Hindi ka na sasama?"

"Oo, kaya mo na yan."

"Sige… Bye na mahal.  Hug mo naman ako," he said while his one arm is already around me.  I am crying again.  Smiling, I gave him one more kiss on his cheek, "Ingat kayo ha. Love you.."

"Love you.."

We had our final kiss.  It was fierce but gentle, and it lingered for quite a while.  I felt goosebumps at the back of my neck, as if I could feel every single strand of our emotions intertwine and wrap around the both of us.  I just wanted time to stop.

We parted.  I started to climb back to our unit and rushed to the terrace overlooking the road going out the complex.  I waited for their van to pass by to oversee them going out.  I am a complete tearjerk at this moment.

Damn I hate goodbyes :(
