Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Jacob felt a lump in his throat. He swallowed hard but it wouldn't go down. At that moment, his lips were quivering. Jacob wanted to hold onto Sara and cry his eyes out. He didn't care about the popular saying, "Real men don't cry." He just wanted to curl up in the embrace of his beloved woman and shed a river of tears.

Sara also felt that Jacob was battling with his emotions. She reached out her hand and rubbed his head affectionately. He was still expressionless. He didn't move an inch.

Sara sighed heavily. Just when she was about to sit next to him, Jacob raised his head. Then, she saw his face.

She noticed that his eyes were filled with tiredness and worry. He was obviously fatigued with all that was happening. Sara had never imagined that Jacob would feel this way because he was separated from James. This made her heart ache. She hated seeing the love of her life this sad.

"Sara, let's go back home," Jacob said softly. It was as if he had already frustrated. And he had accepted his ill luck.

He didn't want to tell Sara the truth about what was happening. Actually, Jacob didn't want her to worry about anything. He was tired of bothering her with his problems every now and then. Lately, Sara worried about him a lot. Because of this, Jacob chose to keep this away from her. He preferred to suffer alone, than to let Sara suffer with him. He just wanted her to be happy.

Jacob's eyes suddenly brightened. He looked at Sara lovingly.

At that instance, he finally understood why he had lost many things as he grew up. In the past years, Jacob had lost things and the people he held dear to his heart. He never wanted to lose them but life had other plans for him. Sadly, he couldn't dictate what he could keep and what could be taken away from him.

As he grew older, Jacob understood that there were things he just couldn't change. He felt helpless towards those things. They would happen anyway so what's the point?

Now, Jacob didn't want to count his gains and losses anymore. He was convinced that it was best if he didn't think about it. Jacob stood up and hugged Sara tightly. He was happy that she was by his side.

The people in the waiting room continued to look at him. They had been paying attention to his movements for a long time. The women giggled and drooled because of his appearance. Many of them thought that Jacob was a perfectly created work of art. Although he was oblivious to this, strangers were drawn to him everywhere he went just because of his handsome features.

Jacob never acknowledged the fact that someone could make a living just by looking good. He saw modeling as a frivolous job. And not something that could pay bills. However, a good-looking person was always delightful to watch. Jacob ignored the onlookers. Then, he locked arms with Sara and they walked out of the airport.

'This airport must have witnessed many people depart every day. Is every departure this sad? If the airport was a human being and it had a heart, then it wouldn't be able to bear the pain. Watching people leave wasn't something that was pleasing, '

Jacob thought. He remained silent as he continued to walk out with Sara by his side.

Before he didn't regard Sara his "whole world". This was because he had thought he had other people. But now, she was the only person he had left. So, she was technically his whole world.

Besides, with James' departure, Jacob had only a few relatives left. But he didn't consider them as part of his life now because they never were. He never really got along with any of them.

Jacob suppressed his inner thoughts. He didn't want to continue thinking about what just happened. Even though he tried to figure out what James had been thinking, he just couldn't.

there was one thing that was crystal clear to him now. It was that from now on, he would become more tolerant of the world. He would no longer blame life for dishing out bad luck to him. Neither would he blame other people. After all, no one is perfect. Humans are filled with flaws. And the world is a beautiful place. Jacob was finally ready to
