BATTLE OF THE SOUL

Chapter 1- MISSION

Pagtapak ko pa lang sa lupa ay dumapi na sa aking balat ang malakas na hangin dahilan para liparin ang aking mahabang buhok. Ngunit hindi iyon dahilan para hindi ko pagmasdan ang nagliliparang iba't-ibang klase ng sasakyang panghimpapawid. Ibang-iba ang hangin rito kumpara sa America. I love the weather here.

"Welcome First Lieutenant Saundra Blair Rosholt to PAF Clark Air Base, we're glad to have you."

Mabilis ko ring naibaling ang atensiyon ko sa harapan. Kapwa kami sumaludo sa isa't isa.

"I am Major Hansael Rosholt and welcome aboard."

Nakangisi ito sa akin ngayon. I hate seeing his damn smile. Mukha siyang tanga. Nilagpasan ko lang siya para makapunta sa headquarters. There's no need for tour. I went here before kaya pamilyar na sa akin ang pasikot sikot ng base.

Inside the headquarters are military aviation personnel like Pilots, Flight officers, Navigator/combat systems officers, air traffic controller, UAV operators and other aircrew members. Sumaludo kami sa isa't isa.

" I am USAF Lieutenant Saundra Blair Rosholt"

Ang ilan sa kanila ay kasamahan ko noon sa Aerospace Engineering at sa Combat Training. Matapos nito ay dumiretso na ako sa office ni Han. Nilibot ko ang paningin sa apat na sulok nito. It changed a bit. Pero ang pangit pa rin talaga ng taste niya.

"Hey stop being grumpy cess" natatawang sabi ng ugok na 'to.

"How can I kung mukha mo ang una kong makikita rito?"

Irap ko saka sumandal sa likuran ng swivel chair na kinauupuan ko.

"Poor you cess, hindi ko nman sinasadyang maging sobrang guwapo ko eh"

See? Kasing kapal ng metal ang mukha nito. Mahangin pa siya sa labas eh.

"Just shut up, Han" kalmado kong sabi bago pinaikot ang swivel chair paharap sa magandang view. Mula sa thick glass window rito kita ko ang babies ko. The jets. Ugh! I miss to fly. But damn it! hindi ko muna magagawa iyon dahil sa assignment ko rito.

"This is a huge event "

Tamad akong umikot paharap sa kaniya. He handed me the folder. So this is it huh? I sighed. Binuklat ko ang folder. I already checked the target's profile before ako pumunta rito sa Plilipinas. And yes, we'll guarding the entire area of Ferguson-Del Marco Engagement party. This Ferguson look exactly like me. We're like identical twins but no freaking way. That's stupid idea.

Saundra Slaire Ferguson...

Her life is in danger. Based on AFP report she was kidnapped by Russian terrorist five years ago. But with the help of US Military they successfully saved her. She forgot what happened then caused by her traumatic experience. But recently we received an information that Russian terrorists will attack her again. That means Ferguson knew something very important and we have to get that information as soon as possible.

"Chief Del Marco is already in the conference room"

Napatingin ako sa kaniya. He's busy on his phone. That guy is the brother of Ferguson's Fiance according to our sources. Valerian is a Police officer.

" Let's go"

Tumayo na ako at sumunod sa kaniya. This is a serious matter. Military personnel is already there.

"Chief" tawag ni Hansael sa lalaking nakaunipormeng asul. He's feature is softer than his brother. Nang mapalingon ito sa direksiyon namin ay nakita kong napalunok siya. I smirked. Naweweirduhan siguro siya kasi kamukha ko iyong soon-to-be sister-in-law niya.
