"Captain Long..." a curvy woman took off her sunglasses as she smiled to greet the man in uniform.
"It's been long indeed...since the last time I saw you." the deep voice of Long Yun replied.
Her smile remained but her eyes had a tinge of sadness.
"Would you mind having a cup of coffee with me? For old times sake..." his voice sounded odd. He was sure she would immediately reject.
She looked deep into his sad eyes. "I don't mind. Captain, don't be too serious. It's just a cup of coffee."
He forced a chuckle. "Then, this way please." he gestured towards the way.
Walking distance from the airport is a cozy café adorned with potted plants with glass walls. The whitewashed wooden furniture made it daintily rustic.
When the waitress came up to take their orders, the lady took off her sunglasses, which she was wearing when they walked under the sun.
"Two cups of butterfly pea tea...then lemon slices on the side please." her voice was soft but carried certainty.
Long Yun kept on staring at her.
Since the waitress heard no objection from the other party, she immediately went her way to process their order.
She pretended to just notice his stare. "What's wrong?"
"Did I not invite you for coffee?"
"Oh...I didn't know you like to order for yourself. Sorry!" her antics were a bit childish.
"Heh, I was just curious as why you ordered tea when you agreed with having coffee."
"Well, sometimes we do things differently from what we agree to..." she answered.
He fell silent. He looked grim.
She smiled at him tenderly. "We both learned from it all. It's just that...we both chose to be happy."
He looked back at her in the eyes. "Are you...happy?"
"I am...happy...now." Her smile reflected the truth. "I also believe that you are happy as well?"
"I am..." he answered with a tender expression.
"Good." Madeline Song had a contented expression. She sipped her tea for the last time. "Thank you for the tea." She stood up to leave.
He also wanted to take her back and stood from his seat.
She gestured with her hand to stop him. "It's best that I leave first." she gently shook her head.
"Oh...alright." He sat back down.
"See yah around!" she waved with her fingers and left without another glance.
As he stared at her leaving figure, his phone rang.
"Are you still at the airport?" a deep voice inquired.
"I...I'm at the café nearby. When did you arrive?"
"I just landed."
"Then I'll walk back. Wait for me."
Long Yun had a subtle smile. His partner is also a pilot. They work things out even with the busy schedule. Indeed, he is happy now.
He and Madeline Song parted after she recovered. Her mother took her to Country E and they both agreed to loosen up any ties within them. They wished each other happiness and they still do.
However, losing a baby together is hard to forget.

Xiu Jin sat at the other side of the glass wall.
"Why are you here...to mock me?" Ming Xiaoyu glared at him.
"I just...wanted to check on you. Xiaoyu, what my mother did was indeed unforgivable...but you should've chosen to be happy when you decided to break my heart instead of telling the truth."
She sneered. "You think you would've accepted me if you knew?"
He was taken aback. Even now, he would not be sure if he would make a different decision back then if the circumstances is what he had laid out.
She snickered. "See. You are not as nice as you make yourself out to be. Jin, I regret nothing. If you are done trying to wash your conscience clean, then don't bother coming here again."
"Your...your daughter..."
"She will recover...eventually. Don't worry. Even if she isn't truly yours, she is not as wicked as I turned out to be. Besides, I believe that the boy she used to date still cares about her. He is not like you...not like you at all." she smiled wickedly before walking away.

In a recuperation facility, a young man was squatting while talking to a young woman in a wheelchair.
Her gaze was empty, her expression blank. She looked like a breathing mannequin.
"Rushi..." the pain in his eyes reflected in his voice.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry for leaving. Our son...I knew you wanted him...but I blamed it all on you. I'm sorry. I'm here now...I will take care of you. I will never leave you again...just...just come back to me. Rushi..."

Her cold expression did not change.
He was unsure if she can hear him but he still tried. He is trying everyday.
