Cockpit

We started the service and got busier for awhile. Buti nalang i am not assigned to do a service in the flight deck kaya nasa passenger nakatuon ang buong atensyon ko. May ilang mga requests ang iba at may ilang complaints din. Had to give assistance to a family with month old baby, too.

Ang daming ginawa kaya di rin namalayan ang pagtakbo ng oras. Napansin ko ang ilang ulit na paglabas-pasok ng isang cabin crew sa cockpit. I dont wanna be affected about it but i dont know its like i am no longer logical about some things lately.

Natatawa pa ngang lumabas yung blonde na crew na tila ba ay nasisiyahan sa usapan sa loob. I unconsciously rolled my eyes, irritated at the blonde girl. Nang matapos ay naupo na kami sa jumpseat at katabi ko naman si Dinara.

"You looked extremely pissed right now. Is there something wrong? Rude pax?" She grinned hard and sarcastically oggle at me.

"What?" I hissed.

Saktong bumukas ang pintuan at lumabas si Hervé. He immediately caught my eyes, tinitigan ko siya ng may halong pang aakusa.

This asshole has the nerve to look for me as soon as he's out of the cockpit. Napalingon din tuloy si Dinara kung saan ako nakatingin.

Agad kong iniwas ang atensyon at ibinalik sa kaibigan na ngayon ay di mabasa ang mukha.

"More of like a rude fucker. Asshole—" i answered grittily.

Dinara stopped herself from making a reaction when she caught my expression. Humalakhak nalang siya bigla tinatawanan ako.

"I think you need to explain further," she urged me to talk.

I shrugged.

I havent seen him for a week but i consistently get to receive messages from him. Di ko sinasagot kasi unknown number at isa pa ayaw ko rin.

"Never done your service in the flight deck?" he suddenly asked. Sumulpot si Nathan kaya nabaling ang tingin namin ni Dinara sa kaniya.

"Not my schedule. Blonde girl already went inside earlier."

Tumango siya at may kinuha sa compartment. Ginalaw niya at pumindot kung saan kaya tumunog ang inflight call system.

I heard ding dong sound kaya kumunot nalang din ang aking noo kasi nababaliw na ba siya? He went out for that?

Guess who's answering that call now?

"That blonde girl really have a lot to say..." Dinara said with so much malice on her tone.

"Deliver this to the flight deck." Utos niya. Napatingin ako sa kapeng hinanda niya at nagtaas ng kilay.

"What?" Tumingala ako nang nasa harapan ko na si Nathan.

"Why me? You can do it."

"Avis." He called my name like he's just so done with what's going on.

"I dont want to. You can ask other crew to go to the cockpit." Pangmamatigas ko.

"The bells are constantly being dismissed,"suway niya. Umiling siya at tuluyan na ngang naglakad pabalik sa cockpit.

Lumabas lang talaga siya to check if the handheld telephone works?

"What's annoying is they always call at the most inconvenient time. Let them wait." Sagot ko.

Mga oras na abala kami sa mga passengers, sa service na halos maglalapot na yung makeup mo sa daming pasaway na pasahero tapos sasabay pa talaga sila.

"You're really something," Dinara whispered lowly behind me.

May tawag na naman ulit galing sa flight deck, requesting the crew to open the door. Hindi sila basta bastang nakakalabas ng cockpit kaya kailangan na itawag pa sa mga crew na nasa labas. Tinignan ko lang yung nakasaradong pintuan.
