EMERALD 2

"Good morning passengers. This is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 89B to Philippines. We are now inviting those passengers with small children, and any passengers requiring special assistance, to begin boarding at this time. Please have your boarding pass and identification ready. Regular boarding will begin in approximately ten minutes time. Thank you."

"You good now sweety? Yes Mommy, with his all smiles.

By the way, we will be staying at Aunt Sara's house for a whole week because the housekeepers still need another two weeks to clean your grandparents' house.

"Yeah sure Mommy, and well I also miss sugarpump"

"Haha, Sugarpump surely missed you!" Remember to fasten your seatbelt; our flight will take a while, so feel free to take a nap.

"Okay Mom" ruffling his hair and putting a neck pillow on her son. After a while, his breath became steady indicating that his son was already asleep.

She looks outside of the window. After years of voiding coming back to the country, after the humiliation that she received from the people she knew. 

Following the death of her parents, she assumed responsibility for their company. Despite the company's bankruptcy, I am grateful that there are still individuals who have remained loyal to Everdin Corp., and she is determined to assist those people.

If she possesses alternative solutions to assist those individuals, she would prefer not to return. However, VSB Corp is attempting to penetrate the projects and influence their personnel. 

What are his intentions? VSB Corp has risen to become a leading conglomerate within just eight years in the country, and now he is trying to seize what her parents bequeathed to her.

"What more do you desire, Vladimir?" she muttered. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and, without realizing it, drifted off to sleep next to Sky.

"Welcome home, Vlad. How was work?" she asked cheerfully. Though she didn't receive an answer from him and missed the spark in his eyes, she shared her day excitedly. "Look, I've decorated our house; do you like it?" she said, her back to the man as she dusted a vase.

Bang! Vlad threw his suitcase down. She flinched at the loud noise from the falling vase.

"What the shit did you tell my father Emerald!

"W-what I do-don't know what are you talking about" She responded stammering.

"Fuck you! don't fucking lie to me bitch!

"I don't really know what you're talking about" Her eyes got misty because of the hard pressing on her cheek.

"You know what I'm talking Emerald! Don't try me Emerald... don't fucking try me! clenching his jaw.

"Vlad let me go... her small begging to him.

He looks at her still raging with fire in his eyes for a couple of minutes before he pushes her.

She held the table tightly when she felt the pain in her hips. She follows looking at the man walking in the staircase and going to his room.

Bangg!

Tears streamed down her face; she was at a loss as to why he had suddenly become angry with her. It was the first time she had ever seen him like this.

.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is your flight attendant speaking. We are now preparing for landing. Please fasten your seat belts securely and ensure that your tray tables and seat backs are in the upright and locked position"

She suddenly woke up hearing the flight attendant's announcement. Her eyes got blurry and tried to open widely. She touched her eyes and felt the wet on her cheek.

"Oh, it's just a dream" A sad smile formed on her lips. She hurriedly wiped her eyes and fixed her clothes before other people saw her like this.

"Sky wakes up... wake up sweety" Hmmm

Mom are we there yet?

"Yes sweety, you sleep too long" Fix your clothes we're landing soon. 

.

.

"This way ma'am" She thank the crew before proceeding to the luggage area. 

"Mommy I couldn't find Aunt Sara"

"Wait I'll give her a call" 

Ring.. ring.. "Sara, where are you?

"Oh my gosh, Eme! I'm so sorry I was a little bit late, I had a meeting earlier." 

"No worries, you could tell me that you have a meeting, we can book a grab you know. 

"Nahh, I want to pick you up because I've missed my godson. I'm at the entrance now. I've already spotted you. Oh my gosh, Eme! I'm here! I'm here!"

She saw her friend jumping and waving her hands. Gosh so embarrassing. She hasn't changed a bit for the past four years, still a hyperactive person.

"Mom, I think it would be better to order Grab instead of going with her."

"Haha.. you think so?

"Oh My gosh Eme I missed you! Is this my godson!? Oh gosh my baby Sky" She keeps talking nonstop and trying to hug the little boy

"Oh please Aunt don't hug me"

"Why baby boy, don't you miss me?

"No I don't" the little boy response

"And why so? raising her eyebrow 

"Firstly, you're too loud; secondly, you're too loud; thirdly, you're too loud. It's embarrassing," Sara's mouth agape in disbelief.

"What the heck Eme! Your child! I can't... oh gosh my heart". Her dramatically said.

"See Mom that's what I'm trying to say"

"Haha, that's enough, sweetie. Let your aunt embarrass herself."

"Huh, the mother and son" she mumbled before following them. 

.

.

.

"Wow! Mommy looks at colorful things inside of the plastic. "What's that Mommy?

"That's cotton candy dear" 

"I want to try that one Mom please". Looking at her with puppyy face.

"Oh we can't stop honey we're in the middle of the highway". He pouted his lips. "

But I want to try it" 

She observed Sara glancing in the front mirror. "We can go to the amusement park, dear, if you want. There's plenty of cotton candy, and we could also visit the zoo," Sara suggested.

"Promise, Aunt Sara," said the little boy, his eyes brimming with hope.

It's disheartening how she could be so thoughtless. The young boy was denied a trip to the amusement park following the bullying incident over his lack of a father. He may not show it, but he's still just a child.

"Yes of course dear" We can go there anytime you want. 

"Yay! Thank you, Mommy... mwah!"
