Final Approach (Aviación II) On-going

What's in the past

I remember palagi akong nasa party nun kasama kaibigan ko. Natigil lang nung sineryoso ko na talaga ang pagbabalik trabaho.

Hindi na nga ako gabi gabing lasing pero heto naman ako may panibagong addiction. Panay nalang check sa phone kung ano na ba talaga.

Akala ko ba bitter ako bakit ngayon tanga na naman?

"You're going home now?" Dinara asked as soon as we walked out of the office after the quick briefing.

Natigil ako sa paghila sa aking luggage at tumingin sa kaibigan. Wala naman sigurong lakad ang grupo ngayon no?

Lahat ba nakauwi na rito sa dubai?

Hindi ko na rin nasundan ang ibang mga ganap nila sa dami kong iniisip.

"Why?"

Dinara bit her lip. "Nothing...it's just that we haven't seen you for a while now."

"Oh," napaisip ako kung kailan ba ang huling sali ko sa grupo. I was too focused with my own work schedule mukhang hindi na nga ako sumasama sa kanila.

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Dinara nang biglang lumapit si Hervé sa amin. Kakatapos lang ng briefing sa opisina at mukhang uuwi na rin.

"Hey," He greeted casually and a bit in a rush.

"What's up?" I smiled at him. He nodded. Naghihintay kami sa kung anong gustong sabihin niya pero parang nahihiya siya sa amin. It's a bit new for us to see him this anxious by the way.

"About Av?" Dinara asked too.

"Oh..." i bit my lip and wondered what's happening with the two.

"I need help guys. Swear that girl is really giving me headaches right now." He sighed. Sumabog naman sa tawa si Dinara dahil mukhang problemado nga talaga ang kaibigan.

Oopsies...

"Well...good thing that you two is here now just the perfect time to inform you guys that Nathan wants us to be together later for dinner—"

"And party for sure," hirit ko.

"Yep! Game?" Dinara smirked.

Napalingon naman ako sa kaibigan namin at napangisi na rin.

"Trouble in paradise," panunukso ko sa problemadong si Hervé. Good for her though at least itong taong to parang may concern naman sa kaniya at mukhang interesado rin talaga.

"Everyone's tired because of work but i am sure everyone will be present later," Dinara added.

"Oh...you're sharing an apartment with her!"

She smiled wearily. "Well, I don't know what's in her head right now and i just landed so i don't really have much of information about that girl,"

"She'll be there for sure tho," paalala ko nalang kay Hervé para hindi naman masyadong magaalala.

"Thanks girls." He tapped her shoulder and nodded at me, signaling that he's leaving now and rushing to maybe find Av.

"They're really something, huh?" bulong ko nang nagkatinginan kaming dalawa ni Dinara.

"See you two later." He continued.

Nang nakaalis naman ang kaibigan at patuloy pa rin nanangungulit si Dinara sa akin. Naglalakad na kami patungo sa crew bus para mahatid na kami pauwi.

"And you...you're not allowed to escape now. You're going to be there, too." paalala niya. Suminghap nalang ako at nag iisip kung ano na naman ba ang mangyayari kung pupunta nga ako.
