Chapter 1 Lavatory
My parents have been supporting me becoming a pilot since I was a child, but when I was in high school, my grandmother and I fought about it. She warned me that flying was bad for me. When I heard her say that, I erupted in rage.
I couldn't express myself that day because of my rage. She told me that I had two years to change my mind, but I'm determined to be a pilot, and she ruined it all because she wants me to carry on my father's business.
I graduated a year ago, I decide to persue pilot when my grandmother insist me to review for the board exam, Hindi siya natuwa sa desisyon kong ituloy ang pag pipiloto ko sa kadahilanang gusto niya akong magtrabaho na bilang isang engineer sa kumpanya ng tatay ko.
So I did what she asked of me. 3 months after the board exam, the list of passers for the Civil Engineer board exam was released.
I expected to pass, but I was surprised to see my name among the top ten board passers....
"Uuwi ka ba ngayon?" My mom asked I don't have a plan going home tonight because of some reasons "I'm not Ma, Will spend the night at Sion's place " I heard her sighed "Ok I understand call me if you need Anything"
"Opo ma" I responded before hanging up I said goodbye, I stared at the window with darkness all over it when I heard footsteps behind the door and it slowly opening up and the door produce a cranky sound.
Until the door reveals my friend standing there. "The front door is unlocked you should have locked it for goodness sake Kai" He scolded with a disappointed look.
He walk towards me and extend his arm, I look at him confusely what am I supposed to do with his hand... Grabbed it? Shake it? Or slap it?
I'm loosing my patience with this man "Wth am I going to do with your hand sion!?"
"Give me the key, this is the last time that your going to have it, from now on you can't come here without me" and walk away
"WHAT?! Why would you do that I will not give you the key!" I pouted "Then cook for dinner I want Adobo" he yelled from the bathroom
I rolled my eyes and proceed to the kitchen, I prepare the ingredients "Hey siri how do you cook chicken adobo".
"Hi, I found 'Simple Chicken Adobo by Cookingina' on YouTube" I click the link I watch the video and I proceed to
Cook....I've never cooked adobo before, and this is the first time I've attempted to make it, so I'm not sure if it's any good. It's up to Sion whether he'll eat this.
I called him "Dinner is ready boy!" he walk towards the dining table and seat "What are you doing?" I asked
When he didn't respond, I grab the tissue and hurls it at him. "If you want to eat, go to the sink and serve yourself," I said as I walk to the sink to wash my hands.
Sion is sitting beside the large window in the living room, and when I remember I have a party to attend.
O gosh!, I dash to my room and pick out a white long sleeve shirt partner by a black trouser pants and a leather shoes and I change quickly...
My phone rings just as I'm about to leave. I pick it up to see who's calling, 'Incoming call Max,' I tap the answer logo, and a loud noise comes from my phone's speaker, "Hey Kai, Where are you?" she asks, worriedly...
Before answering her, I grab my car key and walk to the living room. Sion looks at me with a blank expression, "I'm still at Sion's place I'm going to be late I will update you when I arrive there" I assure her, "That's good I thought you were here, see you later."
I hung up the phone while looking at sion and said, "See you later."
I walk to the front door and I open it "Where are you going" he asks me with his lower voice "At Max's party" I step outside as my hand slowly closing the door.
I arrived at the venue at 10:30 p.m., and the first thing I noticed was an elegant design full of different flowers. I was amazed.
"Good evening, Ms. May I know your name, please?" a lady at the door greets me, and I greet her with a slight smile, "Kairo Svenz De La Vega." She checks the guest list book for my name, and after a few seconds, she motions for me to follow her.
When We arrive at the main venue there's a lot of people chatting about something and dancing, "Ms. Kai Ma'am Max is waiting for you at the dressing room" I look at her name tag 'Sammy' "Thanks ms. sammy" I smile softly at her.
I knock a few times on the door, and when it opens, she greets me with "Your late again, Kai," and she laughs as she wipes her tears away. I bowed in front of her and said chuckly , "I apologize, madam."
"Let's go" she walk besides me and wrap her hand around my arm.
We're on our way to the stage when Max calls me over and says, "She's here." Who's here? I'm not sure who she's referring to. I look around, but all I see are people chatting and drinking.
"Don't worry, she's nice" she says with a smirk. "Wth Max, I didn't come here for a blind date I came here for your party."
She pouts at me "I want you to be happy kahit ngayong gabi lang Kai" I gave her a disapproval face
"I'm glad Max, don't worry about me," I say as I pat her on the head.
After washing my face, I look in the mirror at my reflection while my hand is in my pocket, grabbing my vape.
I'm about to vape when I notice a girl reflection standing behind me. She's wearing a black glittery long dress with high heels. I look at her face in the mirror. She has long wavy hair and her eyes are shaped like an almond with her long eyelashes. Her nose and mouth fit her face perfectly.
The first thing I notice about her is her eyes. I believe she has singkit and amber colored eyes. I feel like I just saw a goddess telling me not to vape "You can't vape here Miss."
I blink a few times to see if she's real, she step closer "What are you doing are you sick?"
I turn around to face her, "there are no signs here that I can't smoke here, miss," our gazes meet, and no one dares to look away.
She takes a step closer and leans in closer to my face. I can smell her! What on earth is she doing? This is risky.
I can't move because I'm stuck in this position. I can smell her, she smells like vanilla with a hint of sweet melon... This-
My eyes are wide open. "The smoke detector on your front will activate when you smoke," she said, and I froze.
"Pwe-Pwede bang lumayo ka saakin miss?" I asked, gently pushing her away from me as I walked towards the door, smelling liquor as I passed by.
When I look at her, she collapses.
"Miss!!!"
I quickly caught her before she completely collapsed on the floor, I tried to wake her up but it was unsuccessful O ghad!! I came here to smoke but ended up with some girl who passed out.
What a bad day!
