Chapter 35

It was thirty minutes to the boarding time. Gary was yet to come but he already called to say he was on his way. Mona and Ella were sitting at the waiting lounge and it seemed like Mona was bawling her eyes out.

Mona looked up at her friend tearfully. She never realized it hurts to leave someone behind. She just can't stop crying even when she tried to stop herself.

"What's all these, Mona? I already told you I will come and visit as soon as I get my annual leave. Stop messing up your beautiful face" Ella said, wiping her face.

But, it felt as though Ella just added more fuel to an already flaming fire. Mona burst into fresh tears again and it looked like everyone was staring at them.

"I am sorry, Ella. I just can't stop crying. I guess it's the pregnancy hormones" Mona said, wiping her face even as fresh tears kept pumping all over.
