For the first time in his life, here he is, chasing someone, which he never did before. Yes, in the past, he was the one being chased by a lot of women claiming to have his baby but none of those were legit, of course.

He doesn't like the woman when he first met her but something about her charmed him. is it her innocence? Or could it be her selflessness? His not sure either. But there's one thing Caleb is sure of, he doesn't want to lose this woman yet. not now and not ever.

Good thing Elise was there to enlighten his thoughts. If indeed, Sahaya wanted to have a perfect family, then he's sure that Lisa would be a great mom to her. Elise herself had testify about it. and since he has Elise's blessing, then he might as well bring Lisa back.

Though Caleb have some reservations too. What if Lisa wouldn't want him back? Discouragement wants to erase his hope but a part of his heart says otherwise. No, he won't allow it. but if that's the case then he will pursue her again. Again and again.

After a few minutes, Caleb was able to reach the airport and rushed inside. But his dilemma is where to find her first. The airport is so wide. Ah wait, she's going back to her hometown, right? Caleb remembered so he tried asking the personnel on the information area. however, they said that the plane had already took off thirty minutes ago. Dang! he cursed inside.

But he's hoping that maybe Lisa might still be inside. so he run towards the airline announcer and pleaded them to give him a minute. Just a minute to talk on the microphone. He doesn't know if it'll work but he needs to take the risk. The lady announcer was mesmerized by his appearance and gentleness so she gave him a minute.

"Lisa… Lisa, if you can hear me right now, please don't go. I'm begging you. don't leave. Don't leave me. I made a mistake before when I let go of the person I love without confronting her first. My foolishness had caused me a lot and I don't want that circumstances to happen again. Lisa, please… please come back to me."

Caleb's voice was breaking. Tears were attempting to get out from his eyes but he held it in. he has a lot of things to say yet, however, the announcer cued him already. He doesn't have a choice but to stop. But before he gave the microphone to the announcer, he uttered one last phrase.

"I will be waiting for you."

Unknown to Caleb, Lisa heard everything. In fact, she saw him bugging a few airport personnel since earlier but she decided not to show herself. She even heard his last statement. "I will be waiting for you…" it kept resonating in her mind but she is fighting the urge to go and see him.

Caleb was standing outside the airport. His been pacing back and forth for a couple of minutes now. Lisa can see him from where she was standing, still holding her luggage. Now she only has less than an hour before her flight but she can see how desolate Caleb is right now. his tired, but desperate as well.


Caleb sat wretchedly on the ground and leaned on wall. then he lowered his head in disappointment. Tears trickled from his eyes. silently, he was trying to ease the pain that he was feeling right. dang! he's too late. he cursed.

few minutes passed, Caleb can sense a shadow in front of him. he slowly looked up then his eyes widened and he stood up immediately.

"Lisa!" the woman was smiling at him. ah it was her! yes, it's her! he's not imagining. Then he embraced her tight. "I-I thought I lost you." he whispered.

Lisa caresses his back. Then after a few seconds, Caleb looked into her eyes.

"Lisa, I'm sorry. Say I'm selfish but I don't wanna lose you. please stay with me." his eyes were pleading.

"Caleb…" Lisa started. "I'm sorry but I have to go."

"Lisa. Please!" he pleaded. "What do you want me to do just so you wouldn't leave? I love you and I will do anything to make you stay."

But to his surprise, Lisa laughed out loud. He was puzzled.

"Lisa, I'm not joking." He scowled.

"I can't help it but you're so funny right now! I have never imagined that the mighty Caleb would pursue this senseless ugly woman."

Caleb growled.

"Fine, fine!" Lisa giggled. "I got it. I got your message."

"So would that mean you'll stay?" he beamed.

"Unfortunately, no. I can't stay Caleb. I have to go and visit mom. I received a call saying that she's in the hospital right now. But I will come back though." She gave an assuring smile.

"Is that a promise?" he proved.

"Yes. But I don't know how long I would be staying there because I need to make sure she'll recover as soon as possible."

Caleb smiled happily. "It's okay. I will wait no matter how long would it be. I will wait for you, Lisa." Then Caleb gently captured her lips.

"I love you and I will always do." Caleb whispered after.

"I love you too." She smiled then they embraced each other. "I have to go. it's almost time." she beamed then she went on her way.

After a few minutes, Caleb drove back to the hospital with a smile in his face. However, as soon as he reached the hospital, he noticed that a few doctors and nurses where rushing to a certain room. he creased a brow but he shrugged it off.

He then went to the hospital's cafeteria and bought a coffee first before going back to Elise' room. but to his surprise, he saw Sahaya crying in the arms of her grandfather Archie.

"Sahaya?... dad… what happened?" he asked still holding the cup of coffee.

Archie looked at him with sorrowful eyes. then he saw a doctor came out from Elise' room, heading to where they are.

"I'm sorry but it looks like her body gave up already." The doctor stated.

Caleb suddenly dropped the cup of coffee and it was spilled on the floor. what? did he hear the doctor right? Elise… Elise is dead? His knees went weak so he leaned on the wall to support his body. No! it can't be true. Then he looks at Sahaya who's still crying desolately. Elise is gone… he closed his eyes and a tear trickled down his cheek. No!
