Unforgettable Love

Elyza Xandra Spencer. Sept 2019. 4 years after  I’m here again at Incheon Ariport, Seoul. But now, l’m not alone.I’m carrying the love of my life, my lovely daughter, Madeena Carson Park. She is going to be 3 years old this year. Her blue eyes looking at me, still feeling sleepy. Her head resting on my  shoulder.  After gathering our bags, I head out to the Arrival gate. Suddenly my heart is beating fast as I look into my right side  on two men near the coffee shop. What’s happening to me. I mumble. But looking at the back, the way he’s talking with another man, make me startled. Is that Gabriel??... asking myself. Suddenly I notice the other guy who is looking back at me, and within a second, I turn away and move as quickly as he seems to recognise me. Oh dear, its Jake. Gabriel’s younger  brother. I hold my daughter and move as quick as I can among the other people at the airport to ensure that they cannot find or see me. My blood is rushing through my body. Not sure whether it is an excitement to see him or a worry that he’ll see me with my daughter... and his. Oh God!! When I was nearing the arrival exit, I turn back to see whether there’s anyone following us. But thank God there’s no sign of Jake or him. My daughter ask, “ Mummy are you  okay?” “You are walking so fast. “ Yeah baby, mummy’s fine and sorry. Does mummy hurt you by walking so fast?, I ask”. She just smiled and shaking her head. Her smile always take away the pain and tiredness in me. Make my world such a beautiful thing even i had to go through a hard time with my family and the pregnancy itself. Sometime I thought of aborting the baby but I was afraid of doing another sin. She’s not to be blame on what has happened. It was that arrogant devil..... gossshhh... my first love. I’m still shivering  seeing him even after what he did to me. But now, believe it or not, I’m the happiest mummy in the world to have this beautiful girl and relief that I did not aborted her last time. Coming back from my thoughts, I’m looking at the exit door, searching for my foster parents, my lecturer at the University. Suddenly, a strong hand pulling my wrist from behind. My body is moving backward a little. I jerk my wrist and turn around to shout at the bastard whose doing that. But once I turn around to yell at the person, I’ll end up facing him, my eyes open wide to see its him. Oh my god, here he is, in front of me, Gabriel Carson Park. I feel my blood rushing through my body and I’m sweating like hell in the aircond place. I just can’t find a word to say. His eyes is hard and darken on me and suddenly slowly tone down to set on the girl in my holding. I just dont want to wait for him to say anything and start turning back and walking away from him. Just after a few step, I hear his voice, “Xandra?”, a question in it. I ignore him “ I think you get the wrong person”. “I don’t think so. I know you Xandra. Don’t lie”. Gabriel said lowly. He moving nearer to me and leaning towards my face and whispering in my ear, “Sweetheart! One thing that you dont know how to do, is lie to me”, he claim. My face is blushing with the close contact of his. I don’t know how to react. And then facing me he ask, “ So you got married? And who is this beautiful little princess?” “ It’s none of your business”, I smirk at him. He just stare at me. But I dont care less nowadays. But then my princess open her eyes and looking at me and the man  standing near us. Then she smile and ask him, “Who are you? Are you mummy’s friend?”. Before Gabriel can answer, I said, “ he is a friend of mummy”.  Then without hesitant my daughter raise her hand up to Gabriel and to my suprise, he took my daughter in his hold. My daughter snugging at his neck and suprisingly said “ I like you uncle. You are handsome and you are mummy’s friend. Mummy never had a man as friend when we were in London”. Then Mady ask “ Uncle, do you know Mady’s father? Mum say maybe I’ll meet my father here”. I feel my heart beating hard and gulp my own saliva and not sure what to do or where to look. Gabriel look at me and then to my daughter he reply, “How old are you, Princess?”.  “ I’m going to be three this year”, Mady said. “Well, if mummy can tell uncle who is it, maybe uncle can help you to find him. And I think your father will love to see you too”. He then looked at me with his devilish look. I’m stun and freeze at what he said. I felt like someone choking me. Even though, I feel like a heart will burst out, but I keeping reminding myself to keep calm and cool. Oh God, what is he trying to do.  Then I hear Jake, Jacob Carson Park, voice, “Hi Xandra. How are you?”. Smile on his lip. “I’m fine, Jake. And how are you?”. Jake come around me and give me a light kiss on my cheek. “As usual dear, being an personal assistant to my big brother and your lover”, he murmured in my ears. I rolled my eyes hearing that. Gabriel just stare at what’s happening. His eyes darken and at the same time hurt looking at how relax I was with his brother but not him. Then Jake turn to Gabriel and say, “Gabe, its time”. Gabriel just nod to him. And then kiss my daughter on the cheek and say, “Uncle has to go now but I’ll promise, I will see you again”. Then suddenly he pull my wrist to him and whisper, “Wait for me”.  We have a lot to talk about and don’t even try to disappear again. I think you have a lot of explanation to do. And then he sighed, “I really miss you like hell”. He pull me to him and brush his lips on me. Its ward hard and full of hunger longing for mine and its soften in a while. My lips responding to him. But before it get deepen, he pull away. His gaze naughtly on me and he smile at my blushing face. I gasp for air. Oh God, what is he trying to do, I’m thinking to myself. He loose his grip at my waist and take my hand and look into my eyes, this time soften and almost begging, “ Please..... just wait for me, please. I’ll be back in 2 weeks time”.  Without waiting for my answer, he turn to Jake, then stop and turn back to me. “What’s your number?” He look at me. I just give him my number without hesitant like we are a good friends who missing each other. I hate myself for just give in to what he is asking. After typing my number in his phone, he look at me and ask, “You still have my number?”. I just nodded. He give back the phone to me. His hand hold mine and kiss on the back of my hand. He smile at me and say good bye. He then turn away from me and walk with Jake. And me still blushing from what just happened.
