Riven To Pieces

1

Gosh, I woke up to the whirring sound of the plane. I'm removing my AirPods Max as I glance at my phone; it's quarter to nine na pala.

Getting up from the lie-flat bed and stretching the hell out of me, an attendant quickly went to my aid.

"Good day, Miss. Can I get you something to drink?" she asked, smiling widely.

A bit disoriented from the sleep, I opted for something that would stir me up.

"An old-fashioned will do."

"Right away." She nodded and left.

I check my phone as I wait for it, bombarded by messages asking where the heck I am and what I am up to. I chuckled as I ignored those.

The sun is up, but I am still swamped.

"Miss, here's your Old-fashioned. Is there anything else I can do for you?" aniya

"I'm fine with this. Thank you."

Slightly bowing, and that beaming smile again. This is why I love flying with the Emirates. They have the finest services and an excellent crew. Riding the first class never really bore me anyway.

A few minutes before we landed, I came to my senses as I took a sip. Sarap! This day calls for a Bourbon talaga after an exhausting flight!

Seeing the skyscrapers of the Metro, my mouth went dry. I haven't really figured out what to feel. Nor having plans on what to do.

Damn, I guess I'll have another shot.
 

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport."

 
Hearing the announcement, I thought, How will I end this day? But it's early pa naman, so I'll just have to go home for now. Without being noticed.

When it landed, I started gathering my things. While making sure that everything is in place, I remembered that I brought four luggages pala, and they're all Trunk Plus pa! I huffed in annoyance.

I was greeted by the staff, and I smiled in return as I walked out of the plane. I don't want to ruin this day with those stupid bags. Checking out my outfit for the last time, I smiled.

Carrying my Arcadia Miu Miu bag, wearing a black Kenzo Oversized T-shirt dress, and walking with a Scolto Manolo Blahnik. I am chuckling as I started strutting my way out. So much for going unnoticed. Staying under the radar, my ass!

I am squinting while the sun is brightly shining in my eyes. I don't know what happened, but, sa plane kanina, I feel empty. But now...Ugh! I hate this.

Looking around, I have come to realize that I am really back. It felt weird. I feel weird. It made my heart... hurt. 

"A wounded heart will heal in time," I whispered sadly.

Sighing, I put on my YSL sunglasses while my hair was dancing with the wind. It's going to be a long, hellish day!
