D'Andre felt a whirlwind of emotions surging within him—pain, disappointment, and a deep sense of longing. He knew he couldn't change Maiari's choice, but he also knew that he couldn't let her go without at least trying to speak to her one last time.He stood up abruptly, his decision made. "I have to see her, Uncle Mike, Aunt Daisy. I need to talk to her, even if it's just for a moment. I owe it to myself and to her."Aunt Daisy smiled through her own sadness. "We understand, D'Andre. Follow your heart, and whatever happens, remember that we love you like our own."Uncle Mike patted D'Andre's back in encouragement. "Go now, son. Time is of the essence. Who knows what might transpire at the airport? And whatever you do, be honest and sincere. That's all you can be."With newfound determination, D'Andre thanked his aunt and uncle for their honesty and support. He knew he was facing an uphill battle, but he also knew that he had to try. With each step he took towards the airport, his he
My Dearest D'Andre, I hope this letter finds its way to you, for it carries words too heavy for my heart to bear alone. In the quiet of this room, as I write these lines, my tears blur the ink, and the weight of my choices presses upon me like an unyielding burden. Firstly, I want you to know that every word I pen is a piece of my soul, torn and fragile, meant only for your eyes. I wish I could say these words to you in person, looking into your eyes, feeling your presence beside me. But I find myself incapable of doing so, for fear that my resolve would shatter. There's a part of our story that I've kept hidden for so long, D'Andre, and it's time I lay it bare. That summer we spent together was not just a fleeting moment of passion; it was a profound and life-altering experience for me. I fell deeply in love with you during those sun-kissed days and starlit nights, under the canopy of a thousand whispered secrets. Our intimacy, both physical and emotional, forged a connection I ha
As D'Andre held that single, cherished image of Maiari as a baby, a wave of emotions crashed over him, drowning his composure. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring the photograph that now seemed like a lifeline to the woman he loved. He fell to his knees, clutching the picture to his chest, his cries echoing through the empty airport terminal."Why, Maiari? Why did you leave?" His voice quivered with anguish as he spoke her name, as if the very utterance carried the weight of his heartbreak. "What did I do to make you go? Was it because of my mistakes, my lies?"D'Andre's mind raced with questions, his thoughts tumbling over each other in a torrent of confusion and sorrow. He had believed that giving her space was the right thing to do, that time apart would heal their wounds. But now, as he knelt on the cold airport floor, he couldn't help but question his decisions."Did she ever get my messages, my apologies? Did she know how much I missed her, how I longed to see her again?" His

Castor inquired, his eyes dancing with curiosity.D'Andre directed his question towards Castor and Catalina. "You guys are getting hitched, right?"Castor's eyes widened, a mixture of excitement and mild panic. "Well, yeah, eventually. I mean, I want to, but we need to plan it properly. It has to be the most beautiful wedding in the world."Catalina couldn't help but chuckle at Castor's earnestness. "He's right, you know. We can't rush into something like this."D'Andre joined in the laughter. "Seems like someone's thinking twice before speaking now."Castor grinned sheepishly, admitting, "Well, you know, when you're talking about marriage, it's kind of a big deal."Catalina playfully nudged Castor. "See, that's the kind of t

His car came to a halt in the bustling drop-off zone, and he stepped out into the chaotic whirlwind of travelers and luggage. D'Andre had just arrived at the airport, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Maiari and their daughter, like an old habit. He remembered the time where he was dying to find them here. As he made his way through the crowd, his heart heavy with the weight of the past four years, he suddenly collided with a young girl. She couldn't have been more than four or five years old, and tears streamed down her cheeks, leaving glistening trails on her face."Hey there, are you okay?" D'Andre asked, concern immediately replacing his own troubles. His voice was gentle as he crouched down to her eye level.The little girl sniffled and nodded, her big, watery eyes still filled with distress. "I can't find my mommy," she said, her voice trembling.D'Andre's heart went out to her. He knew all too well the feeling of being separated from a loved one. "Don't worry," he reassure
D'Andre's heart skipped a beat as he turned to see the woman Andrea was pointing at. His breath caught in his throat as he realized that it was indeed Maiari. He quickly put on his shades to hide his emotions, feeling as though he had seen a ghost."Hey! D'Andre, come to me. Let's go; I'll introduce you to my mommy!" Andrea urged, tugging at his hand. But D'Andre's heart pounded with nervousness, and he knew that this wasn't the right time to reunite with Maiari."You go first, Andrea," he managed to say, his voice trembling slightly. "I'll follow you.""Okay," the little girl agreed, heading toward her mother.As soon as Andrea was out of sight, D'Andre turned and walked away, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions. Seeing Maiari again had stirred up a whirlwind of feelings, and he needed time to gather his thoughts and prepare himself for the moment they would inevitably meet again."Mommy!" Andrea exclaimed joyfully as she ran toward Maiari.Maiari's face lit up with relief and

Well, put him on speaker, I want to say hi!"Castor chuckled and put the call on speaker mode. D'Andre's voice came through, filled with excitement. "Hey!" he greeted, his tone reflecting the eagerness of a long-awaited reunion. "Oh, you're coming back, hey man!""D'Andre?" Catalina interjected, her drink momentarily forgotten as she leaned closer to the phone. Castor nodded, confirming her suspicion."Yeah, he's coming back," Casto
