When the guests of the newlyweds went home, Kate said goodbye too, because if she stopped her friends, she would spend the night on the road, she will now go home to her grandfather and grandmother's province, because she has something to take care of there left her land there, she needs to look at it so she knows how to take care of it. she didn't know anything about working in the fields yet, she knew the size of that land that was left to her, only close acquaintances were managing it at the moment, so she was going to visit it now.
She was leaving the reception where her friend's wedding was held, she took her mobile phone from the pocket of her shoulder bag, she was going to call Rafael, the son of the manager of the big house of her late grandparents, why her mother was the only child, she asked herself, her grandparents' siblings were the only few relatives she knew who were still living in another country.
"Yes! hello Raf, I'm going home now, don't make the children wait me, because they'll stay up, I'll give them the greetings tomorrow." She directly said when the other line answer her call without interruption,.
Court sat weakly in the long chair on the side where his car was parked, he was weak because he heard directly from the woman he had been waiting for so long. He washed both his hands on his own face.
"You hope she will come back for you!" he blamed himself.
He just kept his head down as he thought about what he was going to do now that the woman he loved was married. It hurt him so much when she left, but the pain he feels is even double now that she's back.
He was about to get into his car when he suddenly stopped walking because of what he thought, "If Nessah is already married! Why did the husband let the woman go? Or even pick her up where she is now?" that was the question in his brain that had no answer until now. Now he wanted to know the answer, so he hurriedly got in and started the engine of his car.
Kate was surprised when the taxi driver cursed, when she looked at him, he was already getting out of the taxi, so she followed him, there was a car in front of him, it looked like the taxi driver and the owner of the car were arguing, her eyes widened when the driver turned to her, because she wouldn't recognize the tall man who struggle the driver, if she waited for them to finish she would be late for his flight.
So she got out of the taxi, she faced the two men who were fighting. And her eyes widened when she recognized the tall man she hadn't recognized before, it was Curt. In the blink of an eye to her surprise, the man was right in front of her and he grabbed her hand and continued to pull her into his car. Kate couldn't move because of the shock, she only realized that she was sitting in the passenger seat. "Tell me the full address where you're going home." Curt's question cleared her confused mind.
When Kate couldn't answer Curt's question as if it was difficult, he spoke again.
"Where do you live now? How long have you been back here in the Philippines?" he glanced at her because she was still speechless, he stopped the car on the side of the road and faced Kate. Her eyes were straight on the road, she didn't even look at him. Maybe he was right when he heard earlier that she is married. He took a deep breath before reaching for the girl's hand. "Nessah please look at me, forgive me if I surprised you with what I'm doing now, I just want to tell you a lot and I'll make it clear to you."
When Curt grabbed Nessah's hand, she turned around. She looked into his eyes, she couldn't properly explain what she was seeing there, the young man's beautiful eyes that were always smiling she couldn't see now,. Just now she stared at him deeply, his eyes were so sad, she wanted to soothe him, she wanted to caress him, but she didn't have the courage to do so, "He wasn't happy when she left him?" she thought.
Kate felt Curt's gentle squeeze on her hands, and she felt a little electricity rush to her heart as if it made her heart beat faster, adding to the fluttering of butterflies in her stomach. , she blinked to hide her feelings, because the young man might read her thoughts.
"I'm going to the province now Curt." Finally she was able to speak,. "And don't try to stop serving me because I'm going to curse you." she said and mixed her tune with a joke.
Curt smiled as Kate said she was going to curse him.
"You must have cursed me even then, Nessah, because ever since you left I haven't been happy."
Kate's chest suddenly thumped because of what the young man said, answering the question in her mind just now. "What? no ah! why would I do that?" she answered.
"I don't know either. All I know is that when I saw you earlier at our friend's wedding, my vitality seems to have returned."
"Like that? Then why can't I see it in your eyes?" She couldn't stop asking what was on her mind.
"Maybe it's___ "Oops! You'll answer me later because we'll be on the road early, don't you want to take me to where I'm going, so come on, drive on." Kate interrupted what Curt wanted to say.
"Okay! where are we going?" he asked.
"In Batanes!"
"What?"
"I'm not saying take me to Batanes yourself, just take me to the airport." Kate said with a smile.
"Why are you going home so far away? No, I mean, why are you going home there at this time?"
"The tickets were sold at four in the morning this afternoon, I don't have any choices, because I really need to go home."
Curt's heart became sadder, the more he could confirm that the woman did have a family of her own. So he took a deep breath and continued driving her to the airport. Court is speechless as he drives, he will take Kate to the airport, she will go home to her husband and children, his heart is pounding with pain, Kate is no longer he's, she belongs to someone, it hurts a lot but he will be accepted he tried to accept that they were not meant for each other.
"Curt!" They were close to departure when Kate spoke.
"Yes?" He looked at the girl next to him, she was also looking at him. He wants to hug Kate and kiss her, but he's really scared, especially since she has a family.
"You want to come with me to Batanes? We can talk properly there." Curt suddenly stepped on the steering wheel of his car.
"But! Nessah, how__ I already booked a ticket for you while we were on the way here, but if you don't want it, I can still cancel it."
"No! don't cancel, I'll come with you." Curt couldn't explain his feelings, just thinking that Kate wanted to be with him made his heart happy, the hurtbroke a little while ago is suddenly gone. He started the car again and went straight to the car park, before he got out of his car he called their driver to get his car there, he just left the key with the guard there. Kate had already opened Curt's car door when he called her.
"Nessah, is it really okay to have me with you?, I mean it's okay with _____. "What are you doing Curt! that's fine, we've been friends since then, so no one will be angry with you there, I promise you that if that's what you're nervous about there." Kate interrupted what the young man was going to say, whatever he was nervous about now, she'll make sure it goes away later when he's in Batanes, because she was sure he would like the place, Kate had always wanted to take him there, but they had drifted apart, so disconnected from each other that she wouldn't miss him now. For the first time, she would be selfish, if anything he has a girlfriend, she will apologize when they meet the girl. She loved Curt very much before, she has been admitting that to herself for a long time. Maybe it's time for her to confess everything to the young man, she's fine with nothing of a response, as long as she can release the love she has been carrying here for a long time.
