On His Roster (Aviación #1) Completed

White sheets

Hey baby, What time today?

- Avis

Nangako siya noong nakaraan na lalabas kami ngayon. Nasa isip ko na magandang kumain muna saglit sa labas kahit sa mall lang kasi ilang oras din siya sa trabaho at mahaba ang flight pauwi rito sa dubai.

Tapos pagkatapos kumain ay gagawin na namin ang kaniyang hinandang plano na date. Naiintindihan ko kapag busy sa trabaho at tsaka pag nangangako naman siya ng pambawing date ay bongga rin naman siya.

May effort at nasusulit ang oras naming dalawa. Alam kong nasa airport na siya sa mga oras na to kasi may tracker naman sa phone ko.

Hi babe, anytime is fine, but what are we talking about, by the way?

-Deuce

We'll just eat dinner here at home, then? I'm talking about the date you promised. Dont tell me you forgot about it?

-Avis

It had been a while since I had dinner at home. These days, my flights are so busy that Deuce and I hardly ever get to spend time together at home. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I was always out and when I came home, I was exhausted.

I enjoy my work, and if I'm rostered with Deuce, at least I get to see him. Flying on one leg or three legs is such a difficulty that my body is reacting to it. I often feel lightheaded and my body appears swayed making me appear weak.

Umuwi siya at alam kong pagod siya sa trabaho kaya naman abala ako sa kusina para ihaij na ang kaniyang paboritong pasta. May binili rin akong wine at steak kanina at pinadeliver ko rito sa bahay.

Nang hindi makapag hintay sa kaniyang pagbaba ay umakyat na ako sa kwarto para tawagin siya na handa na ang hapunan.

"Are you going out again? I asked, "You just got back from work?" when I noticed Deuce getting dressed.

Gabi na kaya naman hindi nalang ako nag aya na lumabas kasi iniisip kong pagod na siya at ayaw ko naman na mas lalo siyang maubusan ng oras para makapag pahinga.

"Caren," he sighed.

"Again?" Umangal ako kasi hindi ko na kayang itago pa ang totoong nararamdaman. "When will this come to an end?"

"Since you saw and read the notice, you are already aware of the situation at hand.  I know it doesn't make sense to you when we are going through a divorce, but she is making these ridiculous demands right now, and I need to be there for the child she's carrying until the paternity test results are in, otherwise they will prove my lack of obligation to support her and the child."

Pagod niyang sabi nang hindi nakatingin sa akin at abala lang sa pagbibihis. Kakauwi niya lang galing sa trabaho tapos aalis na naman para samahan si Caren.

Ilang ulit na itong nangyari na sinusugod sa hospital si Caren at tumatakbo naman agad si Deuce para umalalay doon habang naiwan ako rito sa bahay.

Ang daming tumatakbo sa aking isip pero sa dami hindi ko kayang isatinig lahat ng nararamdaman ngayon sa kaniya. Pinabasa niya naman sa akin ang notice na iyon pero ang hindi ko maintindihan bakit walang limitations.

Bakit kami ang sumusunod sa lahat ng gusto ni Caren samantalang siya naman ang may kasalanan ng lahat ng ito.

"I thought the child isn't yours?"

"Until the paternity test is done, Av." He answered back.

"This supposed to be our date, you're gone for so long, you're busy with work, and you promised me a date," but he never paid attention.
