Summer-end affair
She was standing with the crowd in the busy airport of Manila waiting for him. As she took another sip on her coffee that she bought on her way there, she could not explain what she was feeling. She was dreaming for that day to that moment to come and cannot last another second with the excitement of seeing him. Summer was almost over, yet, she can still smell the sweet breeze of the wind gently touching her body.
"I willl arrive at around seven in the evening and I?m going to meet you in the hotel afterwards?, he said the night before his flight. But she strongly replied, "No, I?m going to fetch you right in the airport and come with you in the hotel". He wanted to be firm in his decision but she insisted in meeting him there.
It was ten minutes before his arrival time, a lady standing right beside her asked her where the restroom was. Looking at her watch and the screen in front of her, she saw that his flight already arrived. Ironically, she thought, it was too early and to hide the rush feelings flowing through her veins, she patiently pointed on her left direction and replied to the old woman, "The restroom is just beside that bar near the entrance".
She impatiently looked on her watch again while seeing the old woman walking past her and sighed deeply as she realized that she almost forgot to tell her high school friend, Lynette that she could not make it at the party she?s throwing after her promotion. She took the mobile phone out of her pocket and sent a message to Lynette explaining why she cannot go to the celebration. Feeling guilty, she took another sip of her coffee from the almost empty cup she was holding with her left hand. "I'll stop the world and melt with you", song is on the background, it was her message tone. She took the phone out of her pocket again. Her heart was beating faster while reading, "I can?t wait to see you sweetheart, meet me at Gate 2 in 20 minutes." The message came from him; she took the last sip of her coffee and headed on Gate 2 where passengers who have their name listed in letters between F to J will go out. On her way there, she checked herself with a pocket mirror and put it on her bag afterwards.
He was waiting in the luggage counter to get his things and put his mobile phone back to his jacket. It was hot, but the he shivered because of the cold feeling inside his body. He cannot wait to hold her in his arms and tell her that he would not want to be out of his side again. That thought was out of the question because he knew that he can only stay at maximum of 5 days for this business trip. He was wearing a plain white shirt, a khaki pants and a gray jacket which he just took off after receiving his luggage.
