TW: Violence/ Profanity
They sit side by side on the airport bench while waiting for their flight, Irene was drinking her coffee while Ariella was quiet since they left the cottage 'til they reached the airport.
Her phone rang that caught both of their attention, "it's him," the girl's eyes were tender when she looked to the woman, "answer it," says the woman and turned her gaze to the glass wall.
Ariella distance herself from her and picked up the call, "hi," she wearily said, "yeah, yeah..it was beautiful," she wanted to cry and show how much she gonna miss the moment where it was only the two of them, "so beautiful," she uttered while looking at the woman, she couldn't take it anymore and dropped the call. The young woman look for the nearest bathroom and cry it all out.
On the other hand, Irene roamed her eyes to find her but she's nowhere to be found. She dialed her number only to find that she's in the nearest bathroom.
"Hey.." older woman uttered seeing the girl sitting at the bathroom sink, she gently grab her head and let it rest on her chest.
"I fucked up everything. I've already ruined the relationship you have with your son--- it's not I regretted meeting you, I just love you so much that I forgot what will be the consequences of this all. It's too complicated---" the woman cut her words by shushing her and carefully caress her back.
"You're not alone in this, darling. You have me, always. We'll figure it out if you already made your decision," says the woman.
The woman thought Luis would find another girl, but she will never find another Ariella in her life again.
"What if he found out about us after I settled down things with him?" Ariella anxiously asked, looking up to the woman.
"No one will know if no one tell," she paused, "not all secrets are meant to be revealed, some of them need to keep in the box forever for the sake of every one that involved." She lifted the girl's chin and placed a soft kiss on her lips, "shall we go? Our flight will be in 20 minutes," they smiled to each other and walk hand in hand.
On the plane, the girl just snuggled to the woman for the whole flight, not wanting to let go of her. The woman's right hand was caressing the girl's thigh and tapping it after some strokes, it gave her comfort.
Irene is one of the best person she have ever met. A lovely woman, kind, considerate, smart, strong independent, and very loving person. Ariella wondered why her ex- husband did such a thing with a wonderful soul like her.
"Luis said that he just parked his car, he'll be here anytime soon," the girl informed her as soon as they exit the terminal three.
The woman took her hand and caress the back of it with her thumb, "we'll be fine, darling," she assured the girl. Ariella glistened in tears and they fell after, "I don't want to go yet," she sob and embraced the woman as if she don't want to let go of her mother.
"Darling, listen," she cupped the girl's cheeks and look at her in the eyes, "you will not lose me. We'll meet again, and I can promise you that. You just have to do what is need to be done, okay?" Ariella didn't utter any words, she just stared back.
"Mom?" a voice behind Ariella surprised her as slowly put down her hands.
"L-luis," the older woman stuttered and cleared her throat.
"Mom, babe," the young man smiled at them and he stood beside Ariella, pulling her close, "how's the trip?" the sound of enthusiasm in his voice was visible.
"Uh, it was good. Thanks for that," says the woman while the girl just kept quiet, "how about you, babe?" Luis turned to her and noticed her gloomy eyes, "are you okay?" he worriedly asked, she didn't respond.
