Chereads / ISLAND OF MEMORIES / Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 26

Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 26

When I reach the airport, they were all in the entrance area. I wave my hands in the air so they would notice me coming.

"Lucy!" Lea shouted and wave her hands too.

I walk to went closer to them. They were all busy taking a picture and posted it on their social media accounts.

Im not literally online on social accounts. Didn't even have the time to open my social media. Well, except the messenger.

That was the only social media account that my parents can reach me through the internet. They often send me some documents about the designs of houses and buildings.

They want me to study those, so in the future Im prepared.

As we all walk inside the airport. Everyone was a bit quiet and peaceful. I don't why, but they seem to be noisy before. Maybe these actions were new to me.

After the passport checking our flight was called so we all need to go. My phone beeped but I didn't bother to open it, since we are already inside the airplane.

I roam my eyes to see if Elton is here. Then suddenly Ave blocked my gaze while looking at me with his teasing eyes.

"Looking for someone?" she asks in a malicious way.

I laugh because of his face not because of his question.

"You're crazy," I said while laughing a bit.

"Well yea, Im crazy because you two were looking at each other!" He gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Elton darling! Lucia is here! looking for her?" He said in a girly way. Such a gay.

Everyone was laughing so am I. Elton look at me and smiled a bit. I just tilted my head and smiled.

"Oh my god! you two were together!?" someone shouted. Everyone was now cheering sweet words but I declined to join them.

This is how we started. Leo and I started in this scene but end up with nothing. Lmao.

They all stop when our supervisor went to our section. Everyone was quite busy with their phones and reading some books.

Our flight will take half of a day before we reach the Philippines. Students were all excited to run in the road of the Philippines.

Some of them would be the first time stepping in the Philippines. Usually, all of them were traveling abroad, like Japan, Korea, China, and so on.

The food was served for the dinner. I just said pass because Im not yet hungry. Lea just ate my food because she was all along tired and hungry.

Im in a side of the window where I can only see is the sky and clouds.

Here it comes again, the overthinking part. When I notice that it slowly becoming dark in the sky and those lights were now on.

Stars were shining brightly and genuine. They were just like me before. Before I fault out of love and trust.

Imagining how my life wouldn't be miserable if I only listen to my parent's rants before. Mom has always been pursuing us to move to Italy and live with them.

Lourie was agreed about it. It was just me who don't like to moved out and wanted to spend the rest of my life in that Island.

As I was having a deep overthink. My eyes were slowly felt the dizziness and the tiring flight. One thing is for sure for me, Im tired and sleepy.

The sun's light hit my face cause me to wake up. I moved a bit to avoid the sun's heat. Half close eyes while Im reaching for the window curtains. When someone blocked the heat of the sun. In short, he/she covering me from the heat of the sun.

I opened my eyes to see if whos the person covering the sun's flashes. As I opened my eyes I saw a manly body beside me sleeping while blocking the window.

Slowly I realize that it wasn't Lea and it was Elton's beside me. My heartbeat so fast as he moved his body in my direction.

God, this handsome face is unique and rare to be found. Either way, I can stop staring at his face and red lips.

I am not having a desire towards Elton, I'm just admiring his genuine beauty. Jesus, help me survive this day while Elton is beside me.

When my mind became clear than before. Slowly I stood up and little by little I step out in my seat.

My right foot was stuck in between his legs and I can't move because of his thighs. I bend a bit and push his legs to be parted.

Luckily I did it without waking him up. I wipe my sweat because of fear and nervousness. When I finally felt the safety of my legs and I can now move.

Slowly I stood and didn't notice that he was already awake.

"Jesus!" I mumbled in shock. My body automatically moves and went out of the cabin seat.

He faces me with raised brows while cross arms.

"Where are you going?" He asks in a serious baritone.

My body was trembling and my feet are slowly becoming weak. I hid my nervousness and act like normal to his front.

"Nothing, I was about to move out and then your legs were blocking my way," I explained.

"Why didn't you wake me up so I can move and led you the way?" he asks still cross arms.

"Because you were sleeping. I don't wanna ruin your sleep. I'll go ahead," I uttered and run away from him.

Everyone was looking at me while I'm still finding a seat. I want a seat alone. As in alone.

Found yah!

When I finally found a seat, exactly the cabin crew announce that we will be boarding. Means were already in the Philippines!!!

I looked at the window and saw the beautiful Islands of the Philippines. Everything about islands is a favorite of mine.

A few seconds, students were now starting to shout because of excitement.

This is it, Lucia. You're now on the island of your memories. By this time, and anytime in any moment. You and Leo will see each other again.

You were prepared to see him. No affections and no hatred. Furthermore, there will be no more closure.

I took a deep breathe and confess,

Yes guys, I already forgive Leo for the first time. I realize that keeping those pain won't let go of my past and the miserable things that I face.

I'm not saying that I do now trusting him. Friendship or maybe we both don't need it. He just wanted my forgiveness and that's the only thing that I'll give.

Even so, I still don't want him to know about our daughter. Maybe, if my mind will change.

They say what you expect is not what you get.

And then for me,

What I have is what they don't have. Leo won't never know we had a child. Maybe in his dreams, but not in reality.
