25: WAIT ME UP, MR. DEL TORO!

SAM's POV

"Bweset!" I cursed out as I kicked the damn door again in utter annoyance.

Humanda sa'kin ang tarantadong del Fuerong yon! He'll gonna pay for this! There's no way na hahayaan ko nalang itong ikulong ako rito without getting back on him!

Mga ilang minuto na'kong nakakulong rito while pounding on the door and cursing the hell out of that bastard! But to my utter disappointment, my kicks has done nothing to open the door.

That shit!

Again, my clenched hands tightened as I thought about him and the possibility na maiiwan ako rito while he's out there, out of the country and enjoying my predicament.

Huh! Fat chance!

I quickly took a glance at my wristwatch and then nodded in satisfaction.

12: 38pm.

This means I already wasted five minutes just stupidly cursing and trying to break this door into bloody pieces!

Kailangan kong makaisip ng paraan para makalabas rito! as in lightning fast!

Biting my lips with my hands rested on both hips, I paced back and forth in front of the door, trying to rummage my mind for any smart ideas.

How to escape this bloody hellhole then? Wala naman itong ibang labasan but only the damn door!

My eyes took a quick scan around his office. My eyes sent a hateful glare at the floor to ceiling windows. Of course, Windows isn't an option here. Sa tayog ba naman ng building na'to, malamang sa libingan ang bagsak koif I use that.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako while massaging my temple, feeling more frustrated about it.

Think again, Sam. I know you're good at this! Think, think, think!

I bit my lips again. Now more hard. As if makakaisip ako ng paraan if I do that.

Damn! Tingin ko mababaliw na'ko nito. May dalawang options lang naman ako to escape from here. It's either I use the bloody windows and maybe die there in an instant or just break this door. Yan ay kung magagawa ko namang sirain ang pintong 'to. That bastard surely used the strongest door he could afford just to secure his office.

Okay. Erase that option. I decided.

Then that leaves me the window now. Thinking na wala na'kong ibang option, I considered that.

Nodding my head, lumapit muna ako sa may bintana then check kung gano kataas ang babagsakan ko.

And Gods! Mukhang lasug-lasog nga ang katawan ko nito just looking at how high it was!

Erase---

I quickly shook that thoughts off.  I have no other option kundi 'yon lang so I don't have the luxury to erase that. I have get out from and be with that bastard no matter what! I know this isn't rational for me to go with him on his trip pero kailangan.

There's no way na maghihintay na lamang ako rito kung kailan ito babalik and be dead with curiosity kung anong kinalaman ng papa niya sa mga nangyari noon which I strongly believe na makakatulong sa case ko.

With that thought, I sucked a deep breath while still eyeing the view outside with indignation but at the same time, with determination. From here, nagmumukhang mga laruan lang ang mga sasakyan sa baba dahil sa liit tingnan ng mga ito.

Okay, I have to do this now. No bloody choice!

Sucking another deep breath, I tried to calm my pounding chest before I took hold of the window pane and then slide it to the right side.

Pagkabukas na pagkabukas ko sa bintana, ice cold wind greeted me, making the pounding of my chest intensified and utter a short prayer.

Diyos ko! Help me survive from this suicidal and idiotic idea of escaping! May you guide me to the nearest hospital if I ever break my already broken limbs! May your angels treat my wound with-----

"May naririnig ka ba? Ano na kayang nangyari sa kanya?"

"I can't hear anything."

I suddenly stopped with my prayer nang marinig ko ang mga bulungan na'yon from outside the door. Buzzing like bees, causing my heart to leap in excitement and relief.

Geez! Bakit ngayon ko lang naisipan to? Bakit di ko agad naisip that we have two receptionists out there na pwedeng makatulong sa'kin??

Oh stupid, Sam!

Agad ko ng isinara ang bintana, feeling frozen with the cold air biting my skin saka mabilis ng tumungo sa may pinto.

"Do you think she's still alive?"

My brow shot up when I heard that stupid question.

Oh yes, I'm very alive and even ready to kick your ass, stupid! Yamot na sagot ng isipan ko, slightly annoyed with that question. But whatever,they should be grateful na kailangan ko ang tulong nila ngayon so they're safe.

Ignoring their comments, I leaned against the door then was about to inquire but stopped when I forgot something, something related to these women.

Wait, ano nga uli ang mga pangalan ng dalawang 'to? Did I ever heard their name being called or maybe inalam ko man lang ba? Hmmmm

I think no and.... never.

Geez, I didn't know knowing these pests could be handy sometimes. And this time is one of those sometimes.

Shaking my head, I let out a loud sigh saka nagsalita.

"Miss? The two missy out there??"

"Holy crap! Buhay pa nga siya!" 

I rolled my eyes when I heaard that shock reaction from them. 

Ignoring their exaggerated reactions, I called them again with gritted teeth.

"Yes, you're right. Buhay pa nga'ko at kung pwede, buksan niyo naman 'tong pinto. Mr. Del Fuero forgot to unlock this door at may kailangan pa'kong habulin na flight ngayon..." I said while trying to make my voice so innocent and mesirable.

I tried to add some sniffing sound para magmukhang umiiyak ako but came out na parang pusang naiipit. Shit!

Kailangan ko pang galingan to!

Heaving a deep breath, I opened my mouth for the last card I think effective. The magic word.

"P-Please???"

Pagkasabi ko no'n, I only heard silence from them, causing me to suddenly feel alarm.

Hindi naman siguro umalis ang dalawang 'yon ano? I just uttered a bloody magic word, not a spell for them to disappear kahit mahirap and then malalaman ko nalang na nilayasan na pala----

"Unfortunately miss, wala sa'min yong susi---"

"Bakit ba kasi inilock ni Mr. Del Fuero 'to knowing na may tao pa pala rito?"putol pa ng isang babae, which I think the slimmest of the two dahil sa malamya nitong boses.

And hearing them now, I was able to let out a sigh of relief. Gods! I didn't know na aabot ako sa puntong 'to where I'd be grateful with these female species.

Clearing my slightly sore throat, I answered them.

"You two know na may pagkabali---I mean, pagkaulyanin. Yes! Ulyanin!" Palusot ko nang muntikan ko ng sabihin ang totoong sakit ng Boss nila. 

"May pagkaulyanin ang boss natin so it was expected from him na gawin niya sa'kin--- I mean sa employees niya which I hope na hindi sana 'to mangyayari sa inyo. So if you please, buksan niyo naman ang pintong to para sa'kin"

"Pero miss, how can we open this door kung wala naman sa'min yong susi and---"

"Then find some person na pwedeng makabukas sa pintong 'to, I know someone has the duplicate keys sa lahat ng pinto dito. Don't you think?" Inis na sagot ko sa kanya, not wanting to lose hope and stretched my nonexistent patience to its end.

"A-Actually miss, Mr. Del Fuero never entrusted the keys sa lahat ng employee--"

"WHAT??!" Gulat na sigaw ko sa kung sino man sa kanilang dalawa ang nagsasalita but whatever, I don't care kung anuman ang masasabi nila sa biglaan kong pagsigaw. All I care for now is why that bastard never entrusted his bloody keys to anyone!

May topak ba ang gagong yon? Kung hindi nya ipinagkakatiwala yon sa mga employees nya then where the hell did he possibly hide those things??

"Ah, miss? Tingin ko nasa drawers niya lang naman lahat ng duplicate keys dito. Why don't you check his table instead para makalabas ka diyan."

That made me stop from cursing the hell out of him and a hope suddenly bloomed in my chest.

Drawers??

Sa drawers nya??

Shit! Ba't hindi ko agad naisip 'yon?Nasa drawers lang pala and sagot sa problema ko dito! Halos tumalon na'ko kanina sa 40th floor building na'to just to escape this hellhole and then malalaman ko na lang na nasa drawers nya lang pala ang sagot dito? Stupid gorillas!

With hasty steps, agad ko ng hinalughog ang drawers nito and hola! I've found the goddamn keyssss! As in with 'ssss' kasi in very plural form. And dami nito grabe! At mukhang mababaliw ako dahil sa dami nito letse!

Ignoring its numbers, Agad ko ng dinampot 'yon and then ran to the door with heavy breaths. I checked the keys first and try my luck to pick the right key.

"Miss, nahanap mo ba?"tanong ng isa pang babae sa labas, probably eavesdropping my not so exciting key hunting.

I didn't answered her and just focus on hunting the right key.. I have to be quick here kung gusto ko pang maabutan ang gagong yon and make him pay for all of this!

Good thing may mga caption ang bawat susi kaya tingin ko kaya ko'to. I just hope so. May all the Gods out there help me.

It was in alphabetical order and with specified numbers each. 1A, 1B, and etc. It took me just a few seconds to choose a key which I strongly think na susi sa office na'to. It was with 40M caption, maybe 40th floor Main ang ibig sabihin nito dahil naiiba ito sa mga susi na nandoon. Without giving it another thought, I inserted it to the keyhole and then felt relieved when I heard a click sound.

Damn! I think luck was really on my side right now.

Pag bukas na pagbukas ko sa pinto, I was greeted with two familiar women in uniform with concern visible in their faces.

"M-Mabuti naman at nagawa mong---"

Without letting her continue her tale, agad ko ng iniabot rito ang mga susi na taranta naman nitong tinanggap. Though I'm thankful for them, kailangan ko ng makaalis dito and have a car raced to the airport

"Thank you sa tulong niyo ladies. Kailangan ko ng umails, ASAP. Bye!" And without waiting for their response, agad na'kong umalis at patakbong tumungo sa may elevator and then down to the parking lot where I had parked my car saka dali-daling pumasok at pinaandar ito in a raging speed. The ride to the airport will take ten to fifteen minutes. That, if I'd be lucky enough at walang traffic or magiging aberya sa daan. I just hope na wala.

It's already 12:41 in the afternoon kaya may ilang minuto na lamang ako para habulin ang flight ng gagong 'yon.

With how stingy that bastard pagdating sa pera nito, it was possible na nasa economy class ang gagong 'yon. For sure he'd rather choose to book a seat in economy class than spend a lot of money for business class.

Tsk, tsk.. I wonder why he had to do it kung kahit buong bahay nito kulang para imbakan sa lahat ng yaman nito.

Shaking my head, mas lalo ko nalang na binilisan ang takbo ko, taking the shortcut route that I know just to get to the airport before the time. Balak ko sanang dumaan sa National highway but let out a curse when I saw the heavy traffic.

Without wasting a nanosecond, I quickly made a U turn then used the route I know. Mga ilang segundo pa lamang akong paliko-liko when I noticed at the rearview mirror ang itim na sasakyang nakabuntot sa'kin.

With furrowed brows, I just observed it although kinukutuban na'ko rito. Hindi naman ito lumiliko or even overtaking kahit binibigyan ko na ito ng daan to do so. Shit.. Praning na yata ako dahil sa nangyari sa'kin noong isang linggo.

My grip at the stirring wheel tightened just thinking the possibility na madadagdagan na naman ang kagagaling lang na injuries ko.. With slightly pounding chest and clenched teeth, I swiftly took a right turn and found it still following me.

Gods! Maybe coincidence lang ang lahat ng 'to ano? I don't have time for this kaya mas binilisan ko na lang lalo ang takbo ko para iligaw ang sasakyan na 'yon which I am grateful na nagawa ko naman after a few quick turns.

A sudden relief filled me seeing it gone.Letting out a deep sigh, I stepped on the accelerator and not long, tanaw ko na mula sa malayo ang airport na may kalilipad lang na eroplano paalis.

I took a swift glance at my watch and then smirked when it's only 12:55pm.

Good job, Sam. Now it's time for me to call someone para alamin kung saang eroplano sasakay ang taong' yon.

Mga ilang sandali lang, I've arrived at the entrance of the airport. I quickly parked my car then dialed Liam.

In the third ring, he answered my call.

"William Montero. How can I help you, Ms. Beautiful Sam?"

My eyes automatically rolled skyward when he greeted that, a sugarcoated tongue he had.

"Enough with nonsense, Liam. Gusto ko lang itanong if by any chance you know kung saang eroplano sasakay si Mr. Del Fuero. Nandito na'ko sa airport ngayon." Straightforward na sagot ko sa kanya, not wanted to joke around with him.

My brow shot up when he suddenly chuckled on the other line. The hell with him! May nasabi ba'kong nakakatawa?

After a few seconds, agad namang huminto ito and then talked again.

"Of course alam ko kung saan sasakay ang gagong 'yon, Samantha. Wala namang ibang sinasakyan 'yon but his own plane. He might be a stingy friend but----"

"Wait, what? His own plane?" Agad na putol ko sa kanya as I snorted while shaking my head, not believing it one bit. 

"Pinagloloko mo ba'ko Liam? Mas papaniwalaan ko pa siguro kung magbook sa economy class ang gagong 'yon but never spending a lot just to buy his own plane."

Impossible!

I heard Liam let out a sigh of resignation, causing me to frown with his reaction.

"You're not just kidding me right now, are you?"

"I'm serious. I know it's kind of surprising, Sam but it's true kaya maniwala ka nalang. You can find his plane in the private area, It's in white color with DFCS print outside kaya hindi ka mahihirapang hanapin 'yon." He answered without any tinge of joke in his voice.

So this means the bastard really bumped his head somewhere kaya naisipan nitong gumastos ng ganun kalaking halaga!.

I know he can afford to buy a dozen of plane but Goodness! How can he possibly buy his own kung ni halos hindi nga'ko tubusin ng gagong 'yon the last time we attended a charity auction at ECC?

Shaking my head, I quickly shook that thoughts away.

"Liam, may konting bagay lang sana akong hihilingin uli sa'yo.. I know you're busy but please.... Can you take care of my car from here habang wala ako rito? Wala kasi akong ibang mahingan ng tulong bukod sa'yo."

Well, matutulungan sana ako ni Al but now? Hindi ko pa mahagilap kung nasaan na ang taong 'yon.

Narinig kong tumawa ito sa kabilang linya. I could even imagine him now with his phone on his ear and a crooked grin on his face.

"No problem, Sam. No problem. Samahan mo nalang ang kaibigan ko and enjoy your moment with him. That's fine with me."

Again, my eyes rolled upward when he said that with teasing tone in his voice. Mukhang naniniwala nga talaga ito sa sinabi ko. That I have some stupid feelings for his dear egoistic, manipulative and stingy friend.

Ignoring that, I just thanked him for everything and then bid my goodbye before I drove my car papunta sa kung saan ko makikita ang hinahanap ko.

Tatlong minuto na lamang ang natitira before 1pm kaya mas binilisan ko pa ang takbo ko. Iilan lang ang mga eroplanong nakatambay dun but my telescopic eyes instantly caught the plane na sinasabi ni liam and Damn! Ang laki nga ng plane na'to. It even exceeded my expectation!

May mga ilang tao pang nag-uusap sa may hagdanan nito whom I think staffs ng gagong 'yon by just looking at their uniforms. I tried to check kung isa siya sa mga taong 'yon but then found not even his shadow.

I quickly took a halt malapit dito and then got out in a haste. Kahit manghang-mangha pa'ko sa laki ng eroplanong to, I still resisted the strong urge na yakapin at halikan ito but maybe I'll just do that later. Later kapag nasa Canada na'ko. I shut my gaping mouth and then ran for the stairs.

Just when I had reached the stairbase, sakto namang nagsimula ng kumilos papasok sa loob ang mga ito. Which caused me to climb up the stairs like a mad lion and in tarzan-fast.

And Gods! I almost tripped over at the third step and luckily kissed the stairs hard in a haste. I felt like my injuries came back pero hindi ko na ininda 'yon and just continued climbing up while heaving with deep breaths.

This is all that bastard's fault! Kung hindi niya lang sana ako ikinulong at iniwan sa office niya, I would've been up there now, probably enjoying some wine or foods!

Kahit na inis na inis na'ko sa kanya, I can't still help but salivate just the thought of foods. I think a truck of foods would suffice later.

When I got to the top, I felt relieved nang maabutan ko ang isang nakatalikod na babae malapit sa doorway.

Still gasping, I took a lungful of air before I've approached her.

"E..Excuse me miss. Itatanong ko lang....." I paused then sucked a deep breath again.

Shit! Speak up, Sam! Ayusin mo yang pagsasalita mo!

When the woman heard me, she immediately turned to me with knitted brows whom I think a flight attendant with her hair articulately tied in a tight bun atop her head and a lavender bib tied around her neck, probably for wiping purposes.

I guess so.

"Yes? May kailangan po ba kayo rito ma'am?" She asked as she gracefully walked towards me.

"Itatanong ko lang sana kung may gago bang nakasakay sa eroplanong 'to."

Also known as Mr. Cameron del Fuero.. I want to add that nang mabawas bawasan naman ng konti ang sobrang kunot ng noo nito ngayon.

"Excuse me??? Gago? Wala namang gagong nakasakay dito maam. I can assure you that. Baka nagkamali lang po kayo ng eroplanong napuntahan. This is a private plane so there's no way that a certain 'gago' is here and boarded this plane without our knowledge."

Gods. How stupid of her para hindi agad malaman kung sinong gago ang tinutukoy ko??

His staff really needs a thorough orientation para malaman nila that their very own employer has some psychological issues in him.

For short, bipolar.

"No miss. I know nasa 'tamang' eroplano ako at hinahanap ko ang boss niyo. I'm here to accompany him with this trip. Hindi niya ba nasabi sa'yo na mahuhuli ang sekretarya niya?"

"Secretary??" Shocked na taong nya with her eyes quickly gave me a once over, mula sa parang dinaanan ng ipo-ipo kung buhok down to my 'basagulerang' attire and then to my pump shoes. Then a look of disapproval and distaste appeared on her face.

Bloody judgemental frog!

"Tingin ko talaga nasa maling eroplano po kayo, ma'am because from what I have heard last week, Mr. Del Fuero had unfortunately fired his secretary so there's no way na magiging secre---"

"But I am, Miss! As what I am claiming to be." I snapped while glaring at her with lioness eyes.

I've had enough of her petty excuses.

"Ba't di mo nalang kaya ako papasukin to let that bastar---I mean Mr. Del Fuero na nandito ako, miss? For sure he would be glad to know na dumating na ang hinihintay niya."

Oh yeah. He'd really be glad na itapon ka palabas once he saw you here.

Her face suddenly turned sour when she heard that. A disapproval look visible on her barbie face as her lips thinned in line, clearly not liking my acid response.

Well, I don't care!

Hindi agad ito sumagot but after a few seconds, her chest rose up and down as she took a deep breath before she calmly answered though her pursed lips giving her away.

"With all due respect, ma'am, Mr. Del Fuero would definitely inform us ahead of time kung may kasamahan syang----"

Hindi na nito natapos ang iba pa sana nitong sasabihin when a young man in uniform na tingin ko ay isa sa mga magpapalipad ng eroplanong 'to appeared from behind her, cutting her spat.

"Pearl, kailangan na nating pumasok to prepare for this trip...." he suddenly trailed off when he noticed me, his brows creases as he looked at me with questionable eyes.

"Miss? May kailangan ka ba rito? Aalis na kami in less than a minute now." pormal na saad ny while facing me, oblivious with the sour -aced woman beside him while throwing a dirty glare at me.

Gods. I think nagpuputok na ang butsi nitong si ale ngayon..Tsk, tsk.

Hindi ko nalang ito pinansin and just gave the handsome young man my candy-sweet smile that could rotten someone's head.

"Well, hello, young sir. Sinasabi ko lang dito sa kasama mo.." Sabay turo sa kasama nyang nakasimangot sa tabi nya while giving her my fake and mocking smile. 

"That I am Mr. Del Fuero's 'new' secretary and that I am here to accompany him in this trip but this woman won't let me in and you know that Mr. Del Fuero hates someone being late."

"Sinasabi ko lang sa kanya, Warren na walang nasabi si---"

Her mouth snapped shut when he suddenly held up his hand to stop her.

"If you're his secretary, Maam then I guess kailangan mo ng puntahan sa loob si Mr. Del Fuero. He doesn't like his flight being delayed kaya pumasok na kayo. The door will going to close now. Come." He formally stated with small smile, clearly in a haste as he guide me inside na ipinagpapasalamat ko that this man rescued me from that woman.

Agad na'kong pumasok with wide smile, ignoring the dirty stares the woman still throwing at me.

Once I was inside, my mouth instantly formed in a wide 'O' as I was greeted with the luxurious interior of the plane.

Holy cow again!

I thought sa TV ko lang makikita ang mga ganitong bagay but just WOW! The bastard surely spend a lot of money just to buy this plane!

Warren guided me to the inner part of the plane and there he was, my dearest employer who was seriously reading the paper in his hands while sitting with crossed legs. Oblivious with my presence.

Hmm... Babatukan ko na ba ang gagong to o mamaya nalang? It should be very insteresting----

"Mr. Del Fuero, sir. Nandito na po 'yong bago niyong secretary."

The bastard immediately looked up from the paper he was reading and his eyes instantly widened at my  Shocked clearly visible on his face just seeing his reaction.

Well, well, well... Akala niya siguro he can just do that and boom! He had finally left me behind and completely disposed me out of his sight.

In his dirty dreams!

"Good noon, sir! Nahuli lang ako ng konti dahil sa isang gagong nang-iwan sa'kin and even locked me up inside his office!" Nakangising bungad ko rito with sarcastic tone.

"Y-You! Why the hell are you---"

"Here?? Of course dahil nandito po kayo, 'sir'." Pang-aasar na putol ko sa kanya while giving him a shrug.

Agad namang umasim ang mukha nito as his eyes narrowed into thin slits while his jaw twitched. A sign of his disapproval and annoyance.

His murderous glare shifted to Warren na walang imik sa tabi ko, dismissing him off just using his eyes.

Agad naman itong tumalima and just nodded before he exited. Leaving the two of us killing each other with our dagger stares.

"Hindi ka ba talaga nakakaintindi, Ms. Javier? I said hindi ka pwedeng---"

"Hindi ako pwedeng sumama blah blah...ganun ba??Kaya ikinulong mo nalang ako and fucking leave me there just to stop me na sumama sa'yo??" Maanghang na saad ko rito dahil sa sobrang inis, dahilan para mas lalong tumalim ang tingin na ipinupukol nito sa'kin ngayon.

The twitching of his jaw intensified as his chest slowly move up and down, probably from inhaling deeply with frustrations. Then good. He should really be! Mas matindi pa nga diyan ang idinulot niya sa'kin kanina!

"I didn't mean to lock you up there, okay? I just meant to stop you and let you rest---"

"Oh, so now you're concern with me at gusto mong tumunganga lang ako sa apartment ko and let you enjoy this trip alone?? Hell, no, Mr. Del Fuero! Magaling na'ko, and when I said I am, then I am." I cut off with loud annoyed voice, not minding if his staffs could hear me.

"And F.Y.I, don't you dare to order me around kung anong dapat kong gawin dahil hindi 'yon ang napag-usapan natin!"

He just groaned and squeezed out his eyes. His lips were tightly pursed.

Then I heard him let out an aggravated sigh before he looked up at me with exhausted eyes.

"I wasn't ordering you around, Ms. Javier. I was just advicing you back there to rest nang gumaling ka na ng tuluyan..That way magagawa mo ng maayos ang trabaho mo pagbalik ko." He reasoned out with low voice, his eyes seems sincere but no. I know he was just doing this to shoo me away.

"At gusto ko lang sabihin sa'yo na hindi ko nakakalimutan ang kasunduan natin that 'I' should never order you around."he said, emphasizing the 'I' part.

"But then again, ikinulong mo parin ako kani----"

"Attention everyone, especially the two love birds quarelling inside. This is your handsome captain, Mason Corteza. Kindly fasten your seatbelt now dahil mga ilang sandali na lamang ay lilipad na tayo. Hindi sa rurok ng inyong pag-iibigan but on air and to Canada. Thank you." that man's voice in the intercom made me shut my mouth as my brow shot up, quite against with what he had just said.

Love birds? Is he out of his mind??! Nasan na ba ang captain na yon nang mapasalamatan ko naman. How dare he announced that and make Mr. Del Fuero's face soured in an instant!!! A thank you should really be in accordance!

"Captain Corteza! I didn't hire you para mas lalong painitin ang ulo ko! I want you to pilot this plane this instant! " Galit na sigaw nya with his jaw kept twitching than before.

As if he had heard someone na may taming na ang buhay nito.

Napapailing na lamang ako dito while still throwing a dirty glare at the speaker.

"With all due respect sir, I am not your captain and will never be. I am your dear friend, del toro! Remember that! Say hi naman to your secretary for me!"

Pagkarinig ko no'n, my eyes almost separate from my own socket and rolled down to the floor, shocked and surprised with it.

Oh no. I thought ako lang ang pwedeng mang-asar sa taong'to? How dare that captain joined my club without even giving me a heads up?? And here I thought na walang ibang kaibigan ang gagong to and that only Liam can handle this man!

Damn. Tingin ko marami pa nga akong hindi alam sa gagong 'to. And I think I like this captain Mason already kahit hindi ko pa ito nakikita ng harapan. Tiyak magkakasundo kami in our objectives. To send the bastard del toro to hell.

Thinking na may kakampi pala ako as eroplanong 'to, I can't help but let out a chuckle, causing Mr. Del toro to glare at my way.

Hindi ko na itk pinansin and just gave him a wide mocking grin as I headed to the other seat malapit sa kabilang bintana. I comfortably sat there though I can still feel his stares digging a hole in my head.

But after a few moment, he opened his mouth again.

"Mason, ba't di mo nalang kaya paliparin ang eroplang 'to and shut your mouth now???" Inis na saad nito in a small mic in his hand.

I just stayed silent in my seat with closed eyes as my cheeks rested on my palm, enjoying his annoyance.

Dear me. I Think magiging interesting nga ang trip na'to.

"Sir, yes sir! If you say so, sir! With great passion, sir!" Anang captain with a tone obviously enjoying his friend's predicament.

I didn't heard him answered but just let out a growl from the other seat. I just mentally shook my head as I smirked.

Knowing na aalis na kami, I hastily buckled up my seatbelt and prepare myself for the take off.

Mga ilang sandali nga lang, I felt the plane started to move and not long, nasa ere na kami.

I couldn't hear any noise from Mr. Del Fuero's seat. He was probably back to his hobby, shoving himself in his papers. The only noise I heard was the clicking of heels from those women onboard. 

And knowing that the flight would take hours, I leaned my back against the seat and snuggled myself saka pumikit uli, wanted to at least rest my mind kahit sandali lang...

Kahit ngayon lang.....

At mga ilang sandali nga lang, I couldn't hear any noises anymore as I drifted into a deep slumber....
