Dumiretso kami kaagad sa airport pagkatapos naming pumasok sa sasakyan. Medyo natagalan lang kami sa paghahanap ng pribado niyang eroplano na kinagulat ko naman. He only laughed at my reaction when he told me about it.

"Sa bagay, paano ka magyayayang pumunta sa Paris kung wala kang private airplane diba?" I shrugged. "Exactly." He grins.

Nang huminto na ang sasakyan sa harapan ng magarang eroplano na naghihintay samin. He got out first and offered his hands for me to take, which I immediately took and held tightly. I'm quite nervous about this. First time ko kasing sumakay ng private airplane maliban sa pribadong eroplanong pagmamay-ari ni dad. New things really shakes your nerves to the next level even if its a little thing.

Napahinto ako sa bumungad sa aking pribadong eroplano. The design is not similar with my dad na all white and only the 'Novenche' name is on it. Ang kay Clive kasi color white na may halong black sa buntot and a gold cursive 'Levinson' is on it. Ang gara dahil narin sa kalakihan nito.

"Wow." I whispered. The man beside me chuckled and gently kissed my right hand that he's currently holding.

"Clive..." I mutter, "how rich are you?"

He shrugs. "Enough for you to live with no worries for a lifetime."

I smiled, shaking my head. "Why did you ask?" He asks after pushing my lower back to walk, so I did.

"This airplane looks so beautiful and expensive," I answered. He chuckled. "Alam ko na kaagad na mamamangha ka sa eroplanong 'yan, pagkalabas mo palang sa sasakyan."

"Well, who doesn't love airplanes?" I laughed. He only shakes his head and carefully guides me from the back, up the stairs to get to the plane.

Pagkapasok namin, hindi ko napigilang mapanganga sa nakikita ko ang loob. Napakalinis, so modern looking and it also has a touch of brown wood and the color inside is enveloped with white. May mga unan na kulay brown, red, at beige.

"Do you like it?" He asks, after talking with the Captain and softly leads me towards a love seat near the window. Umupo kaagad ako sa tabi ng bintana at ngumiti sa kaniya.

"I love it, ang ganda." I gushed.

He smiles and grips my hand tightly and kiss my forehead, I smiled while closing my eyes, feeling the softness of his lips in my forehead. Nang inalis na niya ang kaniyang mga labi sa aking nuo ay agad niyang hinagod ang pisngi ko gamit ang isa niyang kamay habang sinasapo niya ito.

"Why don't you take a rest while I finish something..." He started. I raise my brow at him. "Something? Para sa ano ba 'yan?"

He smirks, "Secret. It's gonna be a surprise."

I roll my eyes and look towards the window as I feel the aircraft starting to take off and ascend. I feel a smile makes it way towards my lips, thinking about what I would feel and look like when I finally am and truly a Pilot. I let out a sigh, feeling my heart soften.

"You really want to fly, huh?" May halong biro na tanong ni Clive. Lumingon ako sa kaniya nang nakalipad na ng maayos ang eroplano. I smiled at him softly and nodded, "Sobra. Sa sobrang gusto, gusto ko nalang maging ibon para makalipad ako ng kahit kailan ko gusto."

He chuckled, squeezing my hand and kissing the back of it again. "Then, I want to be the wind. So that, whenever you fly, I'll be there by your side. Guiding you and beside you."
