"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have started our final descent. In preparation for landing, please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, raise your tray tables are up and ensure your seat backs are in the upright and locked positions. Any personal belongings which may have been used during flight, please make sure they are secured in the overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you. Thankyou"
I retouch myself as the flight attendants walks through the aisle to collect any service items, We will be landing soon. Hindi ko maipaliwanang ang nararamdaman ko. Finally I'm here in the Philippines.
I sigh in relief when the airlplaine landed safely, As I exit the plane and have my immigration cleared, dumiretso agad ako sa gate area para hanapin ang overhead signs for baggage claim.
I walk down to the carousel and wait for my bags to appear. Halos mangalay na ako pero wala pa rin ang maleta ko.
as a first timer sa pagbyahe in public plane, natural na ma- alarma ako, isa pa hindi ako pwedeng magtagal dito sa airport.
" You seems in trouble, miss. need any help by chance?"
A guy who is approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall (187 cm) asked me with his sincere eyes, OO sa mga mata niya ako nakatingin. His quite tall compare to my average height kaya nakatingala ako ngayon. He has a handsome facial features.
" Kaicer!, gagong 'to kanina ka pa hinahanap ng sundo mo, kakauwi mo lang sa Pilipinas, babae na agad inaatupag mo."
puna ng isang lalaking naka black hoodie, binatukan pa niya ang lalaking katabi ko. Kaicer pala ang pangalan niya.
"She looked lost. I was just helping her."
"Excuse me? I am not lost," I defended myself, unable to stop myself from rolling my eyes.
"I've been trying to track you down everywhere, mga loko."
another guy approached and gosh I KNEW HIMM.
I met him somewhere in LA, nakakahiya mang aminin pero yes, sa nightclub in LA and yes, dahil lasing ako may nangyari sa amin. And the big twist here is I'm only 16 that time. Typical club story, so I won't go into the details.
" Is there something we can do for you?" tanong niya sa akin, nasabi na pala ni Kaicer sa kanya na kelangan ko ng tulong. It seems hindi niya ako naaalala. Ano bang aasahan ko? Nature na ng mga lalaki na kalimutan ang babae after the romantic one night stand. What did I just say? ROMANTIC? EWWWW!
" I need my luggage, it isn't there." itinuro ko ang pwesto ng circles of conveyer belts sa harap namin.
" It usually takes 10–20 minutes after arrival, before luggage starts rolling. If your luggage isn't there, you should go to the service counter." kalamado niyang saad habang nakalagay sa bulsa ang dalawang kamay.
Automatic tuloy nag- flashback sa utak ko ang unang pagkikita namin sa LA. He's this cool when he approach me, with this the same gesture.
"Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I can scort you, if you want. I'm Kaicer Brialliant by the way, these are my friends Naruto Jackston and Zavier Xieczo " Si Kaicer ulit.
" Light. " Nakipag shakehands ako
" just light?" Naruto asked curiously, his expression adorably puzzled.
"yes," tipid kong sagot.
"as in light camera action?" Naruto quipped with a playful grin.
"Yes. Anyway, I need to go," I said, turning to leave.
As I walked away, I couldn't resist glancing back to where they had been standing, but they were already gone.
Mabilis ko namang nahanap ang airline's baggage service office, malapit lang kasi sila sa baggage area. I give them my checked bag receipt to find and delivered my bags to me.
Nang buksan ko ang cellphone ko hindi ko maiwasang hindi makaramdam ng inis ng makita kung ilang missed calls ang natanggap ko mula sa pinsan ko.
Ilang segundo lang at nag ring ulit ang cellphone ko.
Ang pinsan kong si Wave ang nakarehistro sa screen.
" I heard from batler Rod na uuwi ka ng Pilipinas" nasa boses ng pinsan ko ang pag- aalala. Lingid kasi sa kaalaman niya na matagal na akong nagpabalik balik sa bandang ito at alam ko na ang pasikot sikot dito. I guess? Idk pero I have trust issues eh kaya kahit sa pinsan ko ay hindi ko sinasabi ang lahat ng plano ko. Actually , pang limang beses ko na itong umuwi ng Pilipinas ang pinagkaiba lang is ngayon lang ako nag public plane for safety, sino ba naman kasing mag- iisip na babyahe ako using a public plane dispite of danger. Naka- disguise ako ngayon at malabong makilala ng mga traydor na kalaban.
"You know how dangerous it can be." Narinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya.
"I can handle myself, Wave. You know that," I said, my voice flat and unwavering.
"Still, I can't help but worry, Just... stay safe, okay?" he said, his tone softer.
"I always do," I said before ending the call.
I knew he's just worried. After all it's just the three of us who will continue the Legacy of our family. Since that day na nalagay sa peligro ang buhay nina mommy and daddy idagdag pa ang misteryosong pagkawala ng kakambal ko. Wave claimed that his now my personal body guard. Katuwiran niya ay ayaw na ulit niyang mawalan ng isa pang pinsan. He already warned me not to go here in Philippines kasi pugad daw ito ng mga kalaban ng family namin but me being so hardheaded didn't give any ounce of acknowledgement about his advices. Not all of his hunches are right. Besides, I can handle my own. I am in my 20 years of age and now capable of thinking what's should or not. Isa pa anong silbi ng dugong Capistrano na dumadaloy sa'kin kung mapapahamak ako ng ganon nalang?Being a Capistrano is an honor in the world of science specially the name of my parents who have a big contribution in this field. They spend all of their time in the laboratory and their story itself is a history.
