Hi Love Come Back

chapter 51. Our Love

Me and Dean just got to Hope. We headed straight to the airport to continue to the city of Contento.

Dean went straight to the check-in counter. I was told to wait. He treated me like a princess. Especially since we were tied up in the engagement.

I sat in the waiting chair with my phone in my hand. I occasionally look around the airport.

"Hi, how are you?" someone scolded me from behind.

I looked in that direction.

"Ah.. Hi Drew!" I replied rather surprised.

"Ehem.. You want to go back to Contento?" ask again.

"Yes, where are you going?" I said keep trying to be friendly.

"I'm business" replied Andrew.

"Oh." I said.

Andrew suddenly closed his right hand with his left. I saw a ring there. It indicates he is married.

"Congratulations!" I said, extending my hand.

"Ah yes, thank you!" answer it while misbehaving.

His face immediately turned wry when he saw the circular ring on the ring finger of my left hand.

"Oh yes! It's yours, it's a coincidence that we met." I said, giving Andrew's ring box, which was delayed too long to return it.

"This is." said Andrew.

"Darling, come!" said Dean who was near me.

"It's done yes. Ok!" answer me while standing up.

"Oh yeah, Dean.. Meet my friend Andrew. And Andrew, this is my fiancee Dean." I said introducing the two of them.

They both shake hands.

"Drew, we go first." I said.

"Yes, you guys be careful on the road!" answer Andrew.

Dean held my hand tightly. Me and Dean headed for the boarding lounge. Andrew was behind. He still sees me walking away.

***

Even though I already have someone else. And you belong to someone else too. I always loved you Sally.

Andrew opened the small box he was holding. The ring was still the same since he bought it for Sally. Sally's name is beautifully engraved there.

Andrew put the ring box in his pocket. He turned around, then walked away.

His love story since adolescence should end like this. The love he had cared for for so many years ended up far from being hopeful. Not willing, but he has to face reality.

"Yes, I just got on a plane. Take good care of yourself, Vi." Andrew answered the incoming call to his cell phone.

Right now, he is a married man. There's Vivian and their future son in Vivian's womb. Soon he will be a father.

He has to bury his past love story.

***

Dean just drove me to the apartment. He's already headed for the new house he bought for us to occupy later. As long as we weren't married, Dean lived there alone.

The house is still one location with Ricard and Ann's house. We will be neighbors. I'm so glad I won't be lonely.

"Yes, Ann!" I answered Ann who called me.

"You, have you reached Contento?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, it's just up to the apartment. Why are you so tired of that?" askaku.

"It turns out that mom was tired huh. This is Timmy just fell asleep. Not to mention the tidy house. Ricard was lucky to help." replied Ann.

"I'm very proud and happy. I can only complain for a moment. You're the one who met Timmy once in a while. Later when you become a new mother." explained Ann.

"Yes Ann." I replied with a small laugh.

"I want to cook first. Don't waste your honeymoon. When there are children, you two have limited time. As long as there are no children, you enjoy that time" Ann said.

"Ok, thank you for the advice" I replied.

"Bye!" said Ann.

"Bye!" my answer.

I was at the minimarket when someone greeted me.

"Hi Sally!" sapana.

"Oh my goodness Tom!" I said surprised.

"Where have you been?" my many.

"I.. Can you have a minute somewhere?" her door.

"Hmm. okay. But just a minute, huh?" I said.

"Yes" he answered.

Tom asked me to enter his rental car. We're heading somewhere.

***

We're right here

A sloping beach with waves. We sat in one of the chairs in that place.

"Congratulations on your engagement" Tom said as he glanced at the ring on my ring finger.

"Thank you Tom" I replied.

"I miss you Sally. I miss our togetherness. I miss all the time we spent together. Every moment, every event we live. I still remember it" Tom said.

"I was very happy at the time. When I could be around you like this. When I can look you in the face up close. And. when you cry on my chest" said Tom bowed.

"So soon all of that will never happen again. I can't change the taste that already exists. I tried but I couldn't. I've loved you for a long time." Tom continued.

"But Tom." I said.

"No Sally, I won't force you to be by my side. I don't have the courage to seize your happiness for my own happiness" Tom said.

"For that, now for the last time. Please let me be here near you. Tell me about our memories, and everything." said Tom.

Tom looked me in the eye. It's like there's a heavy burden there. His eyes pleaded with me very much.

I nodded my head, in a sign of agreement.

We spent the night telling him all our memories. The fun, the funny, the fun, and the sad.

Sometimes laughter sparks our conversation.

Tom's love is never selfish. He always protected me from behind. Always take care of me, comfort me, and always be ready for me. She never forced me to accept her love.

But he had a chance for that.
