My Secret Credibility

Chapter 53

"Ladies and gentleman, Delta Airlines welcomes you to the Philippines. The local time is 4:30 in the afternoon. For your safety and the safety of those who around you, please remained seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisles clear until we are parked at the gate. Captain Aveliraz will turn off the fasten seat belt sign, indicating it is safe to stand. Please use caution when opening the overhead compartments and removing items, since articles may shifted during flight."

As the chief flight attendant annouced, Prince already landed the plane on the landing area and it's finally more good. I thought that he will not able to do it again but, I think he's now okay. At first I thought that Captain Ramos was the one who will land the plane but, Prince was the one who annouced for the preparing for landing.

For sure, Risha and Amery were waiting for me already here in the airport as Risha messaged me before the flight started. Risha has no flight for today so it's her bond time with her daughter. Gairel and Gwen was still on the Vigan, Drina was also in the Japan, to support her brothers there and lastly, Victoria was still on the Korea, to check her patients there.

I don't know when are they coming back, they don't text me at all. It's been another 2 years and my relationship with Clage was all good. It's actually our 2nd anniversary and for sure, paghahandaan niya 'yong araw na ito.

"Ninang!" Amery shouted as she saw me, "You look so pretty today, ninang!" she added then, hugged me.

Amery is now 5 years old and I think she's growing and being pretty by now, just like her mom. I can see her beauty features and for sure, she got all of it on Risha.

"You're way too early, huh? And why is that?" I teased.

"Paano ba naman, excited itong si Amery na makita ka. Akala mo naman kasi ikaw 'yong nanay niya e." Bumuntong hininga siya, "Isa pa ay may gusto sana akong sabihin sa'yo. Actually, ikaw ang una kong pag-sasabihan nito dahil ikaw ang naging karamay ko rito, kaya sana 'wag mo munang sabihin sa iba dahil tutal nasa ibang bansa pa sila."

I just awkwardly smile when I realized that she was right. Oo nga pala, ako ang naging karamay niya 2 years ago. Pero mukhang 5 years na rin 'yong nakalipas para sa amin ni Risha dahil simula noong na-buntis siya, walang araw na hindi ko siya pinabayaan kasama ang kaniyang anak.

"First of all, I want to say thank you dahil ikaw ang naging ikalawang tumayo bilang ina ng anak ko. Hindi ko kasi talaga magawang ipakilala sa kaniya ang kaniyang ama e. Ang hirap, sobra. Sabi mo kasi dati hindi ka pa handang maging ina pero mukhang handa ka na e. You talked and convienced her so well so I couldn't never ask for more for you, Zara. Kahit na bampira ka, alam ko namang hindi mo kami tatakutin o hindi kaya papatayin--"

"As if Zara would do that. E'di sana patay na lahat ng mga nasa eroplano e 'no?" singit ni Prince, humahalakhak.

"Tsk, papansin kang epal ka! Mamaya ka na, Prince. Wrong timing ka! Doon ka muna, doon sa mga pilotong mga nakasama mo kanina." Risha rolled her eyes, "Doon ka makipag-usap, 'wag dito kasi nag-gigirl talk pa kami."

"E sa gusto ko rin sumali e. Bakit may magagawa ka ba?" nakaka-insultong tanong ni Prince, "'Di joke lang, sige. Ingat, kita-kits na lang!" Prince waved his right hand before leaving us alone.

Dahil sa pag-singit ni Prince, sabay kaming natawa ni Risha dahil doon pero agad kaming tumigil dahil nagugutom na si Amery. Binilihan lang siya ni Risha ng burger, fries at tubig since bawal siya sa softdrinks.
