It Goes Both Ways

One Big Misunderstanding

Momo hugs her for one last time before she leaves for the airplane. Mina begins to siliently sob, tears streaming down her face. She shifts ever so slightly to avoid the teardrops from being absorbed onto Momo's clothes. Momo shifted as well about to end the hug-

"W-wait.. just a little longer," Mina tightens her grip around Momo, "Your flight doesn't board for another 5 minutes.."

And so she stayed. Just a little bit longer. Just in time for Mina to stealthily wipe her tears.

By the time Momo let go and both Mina and Momo were staring at each other, Mina smiled back a wide gummy grin, "Have a safe flight."

Momo's face flashed a little bit bitterness, but soon laughed it off and replied, "I will Mitang~. Hope you drive home safely."

They both walked in opposite paths, drifting farther and farther away from each other. Everyone knows that the one who looks back gets hurt the most. The one who remains stuck in the past while the other moves on always gets the short end of the stick.

As Momo walks towards and into the jet bridge, Mina's eyes were staring right at Momo's back.. Through and through, she couldn't help but turn around, and watch her go. An existence that she used to call her own, walked away from her life.

As if life wanted to be as cruel as possible, by the time Mina turned around to lonely drag her feet back towards the direction of the airport garage... Momo, swiveled her feet back around to speed walk back into the terminal to take one last look at Mina-

Her back was all she saw. Not another goofy wide grin flashing back at her. Not one glimpse of her lovely face. Mina always used to stay up until Momo's flight took off. It was adoring each time Mina did so even when Momo said not to.

'You don't have to, it's just a waste of time.' Despite Momo searching for Mina each time.

She felt an empty void crawl between her skin, and embed itself into her heart.

"Pabo.." Momo mumbled. Whether that word was meant for Mina or Momo, it was probably for both.
