It's been 40 years since my marriage, and it's been 2 years since my husband died.
I have been waiting at the airport for 1 hour for one of my loved ones...
"Mam would you want a cup of coffee"? a young man, seems my daughter's age asked me.
"No son".
"You are here for an hour, seems someone important is coming to meet you".
"Yes, Honey. my daughter is coming today",I replied.
"Oh, it's great."
"And your?"
"My uncle but he loves to hear dad.He is a retired Army officer. now his work is only travel the world".
I smiled," Yeah traveling the world was my passion too".
He asked," was?"
Hearing him, suddenly my heart started aching.
Because I saw those dreams with someone else.
"Nothing son. just not felt that".
" you know my dad always said, Never leave your dreams, hopes in the middle of the path."
" wow, your dad is so passionate beside a knowledgeable person."
He laughed," Yes, you can say that".
someone called him, he excused me and went outside.
After a minute plane landed and everyone were coming.
I stood up and started looking for them.
suddenly I heard a man's voice, so familiar..
"Avena".
after so many years someone called my nick name. when I looked at him, My heart started to beat fast.
No... I never thought We would meet like this.
"You?" I asked him.
"is that really you Avena"?
"You misunderstood me.. I'm not Avena".
"I know you are. You are still angry with me Avena? "
"Sir, please behave yourself."
"Avena I tried to find you so hard but I couldn't. I went to your home but they didn't help me."
"where have you been?"
I looked at him angrily,"Really, I'm glad you looked for me. now leave my hand and let me go".
"you are still the same Avena. you never understand my love"
I held my tears and told," love? where was your love when I asked you to marry me?"
He looked down. ..
"You chose your career instead of me but Still I waited for you 1 years."
" I'm sorry. I regretted it every times".
" sorry. you took my everything James. I tried to stop you so many times. Even I wrote 10 letters to you and got 1 letter back from you."
"Even I wrote you about my pregnancy but you said me to abort it".
"Avena, when I realized my mistake, I told you not abort it. but you didn't reply me."
"yes, I didn't because I didn't want to. That time a angel came to my life and marry me. he accepted me with that condition".
" he wasn't a coward like you. he raised my child and loved her as his own child."
"Avena"...
I smiled,"I think you have a child too".
"yes I have"
he smiled, " then you were happy without me."
I didn't reply.
"I know you weren't. I can see that in your eyes. you missed me every times."
"no, I hate you"
"if you hated me you wouldn't give birth of my child"
Now I couldn't hold my tears. I cried out..
" why did you leave me James?"
He hugged me..
" I'm sorry Avena. I shouldn't have done this".
suddenly
" Dad"
James breaks hug, " My son, Avena meet my son".
I looked at the boy. "so, you are".
" yes, mam. and dad we already know each other."
so, James isn't married....
"Mom"
I looked back and daughter is here too..
"Mira".
We hugged. "Mom, I missed you so much". I looked at James.
I saw a happy smile on his face..
"Mom. who are they?"
"hello,Mira I'm your mom's friend." James extended his hand.
"hello Sir".
"you are so beautiful than your mom."
Mira smiled,"no sir I saw my mom's pictures. she was so pretty in her young age."
I felt a unknown happiness that finally father and daughter meet each other.
Mira and Jonas started to talk each other. James came to me.
"My daughter looks after her mom".
"but her habit is just like her dad",I told James.
we smiled at each other.
"Avena, we have to go now right?"
hearing it, My heart wanted to hold him not to let him go.
I looked at him and nodded slowly.
"can I have a hug from you".
I couldn't move my hands. something was stopping me but suddenly I felt a strong arm was wrapped me.
I couldn't but crying. I held my for the last time tightly.
I only misunderstood my James.
we know it's incomplete love but our love is true to each other.
Both kids came to us.. said good bye
I looked back at James for the last time as he did..
"dad, she is still so pretty," Jonas told.
James smiled," so, you recognized her right?"
" yes. when I first saw her I got the feeling she's Avena. she is still the same dad".
" I know".
"can't you marry her now?"
sometimes we have to take right decision on right time or else we have to bear the consequences for our whole life.
I didn't take that on time, I didn't listen to my heart.
"But you still love her"
"yes I'm and I will"
"then. what's problem"
James took a deep breathe. let it be for our next life. That time I won't hurt her.
I will complete my love story. .
