Destrás de Las Cámara: Mi Vida Desordenada

"Yes, I'll call you later."

"Yes, I'll update you."

"I'll come back soon, I know that."

"Come back unscathed, duly noted."

"Alright, stay safe, Chlis."

Binaba ko na ang tawag, "She's really overprotective of you, huh?" ani Laura habang may binabasang magazine, "Isn't Karla the same to you?" I countered, "Yeah, pero that's because we like each other. Eh kayo ni Chlisté?"

"Ganiyan naman talaga siya dati pa ah."

"Pero mas lumalala lang, in a good but scary way."

"How is that scary to you?"

"Because that might ruin your friendship."

"Its nothing. She doesn't have any siblings and she doesn't talk to her cousins that much so I'm like a little sister to her, that's it."

"Kalma," tumawa naman siya. Inirapan ko na lang siya at 'di sumagot.

That made me wonder though. Nag-iiba ang turing sa'kin ni Chlis these days, and tama si Laura, lumala in a good but scary way. Well, I'm sure its nothing. We've been friends for more than 5 years, I'm sure nothing negative will happen between the both of us or between the four of us, Beauvémeux. Hopefully.

Nasa private plane kami na pag-aari ko. Yes, akin 'to, I bought this plane because I love traveling and I'll have easier access, and besides, my uncle, which is Laura's father, has an airline company. So I can use their airline's runway in almost every country. 

The last mission I was sent to was in Miami, that was one of the easiest mission that was given to me to be honest, now I'm being sent to Russia, Dad said that some organizations under ours is acting high and mighty in most parts of the country, even planning to spread their "power" to neighboring countries. Sadly for them, they were dumb enough to leave tracks of what they've been doing for the past year, and Dad's informants followed them for the last two months and now we're here, I'll be busting their asses the moment I get there. They should know their places in this world, you should work you ass to get to the top just like what my Dad did when Lolo died. The organization, in terms of business companies, nearly went bankrupt. 

"Ano plano?" tanong ko kay Laura, "Still checking the premises, ipapakita ko na lang sa'yo then you decide kung ano gagawin natin. How many hours left 'til we arrive?" 

"Approximately 9 hours, kaya magsimula tayo sa pagplano when we're halfway there, masiyado pang maaga."

"Alright," sagot niya, "I'll get going," tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakaupo. May dalawang kuwarto 'tong eroplano, yung isa akin, yung isa ay para sa kung sino man ang kasama ko. 'Di naman ganun kalaki 'to, sakto lang para sa'kin, sa pilots, stewardes, at sa magiging kasama ko. May washroom, lounge kung saan ako galing, at siyempre, 'di mawawala ang food section. Pagkarating ko sa room ko, wala namang special. Just a bed, a drawer beside it, a medium-sized closet, a table and a chair. There's no shower because when I travel, it usually doesn't exceed 12 hours so I'm good. And I only use this plane when I'm traveling from one country to another, but city after city? Nah, waste of fuel. I changed into a fresh set of clothes before settling on the bed. I'm not yet sleepy kaya I opened my laptop, answered some emails, surf though Instagram for a few minutes before entering YouTube. Ito lang ginagawa ko pag gusto kong antukin at matulog. 

"Now for the last step, throw your cookies into the oven for 45 minutes," was the last thing I heard before dozing off.

"Ano plano mo sa future?"  tanong niya sakin. Nakaextend ang kanang braso niya at 'yon ang ginagawa kong unan habang ang kaliwang kamay naman niya ang ginagawa niyang unan. "'Di ko alam, pero ikaw pa din kasama ko for sure," tumingin ako sa kaniya at ngumiti, nakita ko namang nakatingin na pala siya sa'kin. Nasa backyard kami ng bahay ng parents ko, I'm still living with them, at nakatingin lang ako sa stars at the night sky. "Baliw," she chuckled, "Pero seryoso, Win, ano nakikita mo sa future mo?" napaisip naman ako, "Magiging artista ako, ipupursue ko ang music. Alam mo naman kung gaano ko kagusto maging singer 'di ba? Tapos siyempre, nandun ka rin," tumango naman siya, "Yeah, ako magiging number one fan mo babe, asahan mong lagi akong nasa front row seat," sambit niya at napatawa na lang ako, "Ikaw?"
