Between the North and South Poles (You & Me)
CHAPTERS 118. LAST LETTER _ YOU & ME

Kasih sat looking at the lights of the building visible from the glass wall of his apartment. On his lap was a box he had kept for many years. He forgot the last time he opened the box. There are too many memories and pain when you see it.

Love opened it slowly, looking at the pile of letters and photos there. The pictures of Gavin as a child always make him smile. His son had grown into a handsome man. Aurora raised him well, she admitted that.

If only you could say hello, dear. But my mom has no guts. Especially when you were a kid you never wanted to be near your mom" she said

Love could have taken those photos. However, he would rather just keep it in that box. She has no memories of her child other than the time she gave birth.

"Is she a bad mother?

Kasih then pulled out the letter that was at the top of the pile. It was the last letter Aurora sent to her. At first he thought the contents of the letter would be the same as his story about Gavin and also the latest photos of his son.

But love is wrong.

"Almost a year since your first accident and the process to recover.The family Kuya Carlos have been accustomed without you loving. Now that Kuya Carlos spends the night in my room, she almost never sleeps in your room again. Gavin is also very sticky with me, he really does not remember you even though your picture I often show to him.

I know, maybe this sounds selfish. But, please love. You better just go. I guess I can not afford to share a husband and child with you. I could've had a child with Kuya Carlos, but it's not going to be the same as my love for Gavin. He is a gift in my life. Although not born from my womb, but I am still his mother, Love. You just gave birth to her. I know the process of growth, not you.

Here, I give you living capital to live there, while you seek work to connect. Please, don't spoil the happiness I desperately built with Kuya Carlos and Gavin. We are the real family. Don't go into this circle and break it.

You got it, right? you're the best graduate in your class. You know what I mean."

Love Mengejam, withstanding all pain so as not to spill into crying. has been twenty-eight years more, but the contents of this letter are always able to uproot his heart.

"Aurora can get everything she wants, and I have to lose everything. I don't even have anything from birth."

Love takes a cell phone and sends a message to someone.

At least, let me be close to my kind-hearted daughter-in-law."

Bima digital CEO: "Tomorrow afternoon you are free? we're having tea, yuk!

Mischa smile. He replied to the message and confirmed it.

"Kuya, tomorrow I ngeteh the same ceo of digital Bimo yes,"izin Mischa.

"What time is it, baby? ask Gavin

"Sore, he's coming home from work."

"Hmmm... I can't just take her home, I'll just pick her up, yeah."

Mischa nodded in agreement. "okay, Kuya!"

****

Mischa arrived on time and approached Kasih who was standing at the door of the Cafe.

"Oh, my goodness! surprised me. Just coming in, keep coming, "love.

"Mischa isn't late, is it, Mom?

Love shook Soraya smiled. "No. I just got in too. yuk!"

The two women also entered a cafe that seems simple and not too crowded visitors. Actually, Miscja felt a little strange to see a CEO like Kasih not choosing a luxurious place, such as the cafes of her mother-in-law's choice.

"We'll just sit here. Not by the window" Love who sat first.

"Good ma'am."Mischa complies and sits opposite her.

"You don't have a problem here, do you? The place is a bit fancy," asked Kasih.

Mischa just thought about it

"It's okay, Mom. It's good too."Mischa was not a problem, just a bit surprised.

"Here the place is ordinary, but the coffee is good." Love tells

"Try if you don't believe. I went to this cafe from the first day back to Manila. any fun at first, but it turns out the coffee is delicious.so addicted to it here." explained Kasih.

"Yes ma'am, Mischa also ordered the coffee that I like to order."

"Okey."

Kasih called a waitress and ordered two cups of milk coffee.

"You don't order another coffee, usually, young people like to order a coffee latte

Mischa shakes. "No ma'am, Mischa doesn't like to follow the trend." replied Miska sweet even a little.

Love smiles. They also started talking about a lot of things. Even before coffee is served

"So mom said coffee here fits first back to Manila, where was Mom before?"

"Many." answered love. I have been in several countries. Initially in Malaysia, then Australia, it continued to be in Canada and also in Switzerland last before here I worked in California.

Mischa flabbergasted. "It's cool, ma'am."

Love laughed slowly at the compliment. "Yes that's how."

"Serus mom Why come back here? it means that usually people if they are at home working abroad, do not want to come back here."

"My contract there has expired and I was offered the same Bima digital, Yes already rather than looking elsewhere, mending just accept."

Mischa is perceptive, amazed by the myriad of work experiences that belong to the woman in front of her.

It doesn't feel like it's night. Gavin arrives in front of the cafe to pick up Mischa.

"Mom, Mischa's husband has come to pick her up, mischa back first yes." said Mischa

Love's heart beats quickly when it finds out that her son is not far from her

"Okey be careful on the road, yeah, next time we'll have another coffee together."

Mischa gets out of the cafe and approaches Gavin's car. Kasih peeked and had a chance to see the face of her son who was smiling at Mischa, when the car door opened.

Love is smiling. "This alone is enough for him, no need to hug each other or chat warmly. Looking from far away was already able to bloom the flowers in his heart.

Love got out of the cafe after Gavin's car drove. He saw it until the distance until the car turned in front of him.

"Carlos was driving, when he accidentally glanced to the right

"Love." he muttered

Carlos saw from the rearview mirror. But the woman he thought of as Love had turned her face away. He impatiently stepped on the gas and drove faster to spin the direction in front.

As soon as he arrived at the place he thought he saw Love, Carlos continued and searched here and there.

"Nothing."

The man sighed Frustrated, did he see wrong? Why does this woman look so much like love

Carlos did not know that love had boarded his car and left the place.
