When I boarded the plane seated na yung katabi ko, she was on the phone pero she smiled when she saw me. Red hair. Pretty. Bet. Charot.

"Hi, may I?" I told her as I showed her my seat number.

She stood and gave me a way para maka upo sa window seat.

Plane just took off and nakaramdam agad ako ng antok. Super early ko kasi nagising kanina.

Then, when I woke up, I felt na nakasandal sa balikat ko si ate girl. Or should I say, naka sandal kami sa isa't isa. I looked at her and she was also asleep.

Medyo napalakas ata yung pag galaw ko kasi nagising siya.

"Ohh, I'm sorry" she uttered and I told her na okay lang. Ikaw yan eh, i don't mind.

I checked at the time and it was past 40 minutes when we took off, so I still have a chance na chikahin si seatmate.

"Looking for something?" I asked kasi it seems kanina pa siya di mapakali

"Yes, yung phone ko. Nahulog ata" I helped her search and found it sa ilalim ng seat ko, I reached it & gave it to her. I saw her wallpaper.. It's a white cat.

"Naku sorry, thanks pala...." she paused & she looked at me "...your name?" uy gusto ko yang mga ganyang tanungan.

"Maraiah or Aiah. And you?"

"Maraiah?? Carey??" seryoso pa siya when she asked... Natawa naman ako.. Grr she's cute.... "Mikhaela, Mikha nalang" we shook hands. May spark, char.

"Nice meeting you, Mik mik!" nagulat ata siya tas she giggled. Mas lalo kong naappreciate yung face niya now na were facing eye to eye. Yung features ng face niya. Perfect. Her lips. Ang sarap ikiss.

"Mik mik pala ha. Sige Ai Ai" napalakas yung tawa ko. Kakahiya sira poise.

Since siya rin naman nag start I think it's more friendly to open a conversation so I asked her "Are you from Cebu?"

"I was born here. But I seldom come here...just for a breather. Ikaw?"


"Yes, I was also born here.... Ako naman mag ve-vacation sa Manila"

I was about to ask her saan siya sa Manila when..


'We are experiencing a bit of turbulence. This is to remind all passengers to fasten their seatbelts.'

Eto yung ayaw na ayaw ko pag sumasakay ng plane. My reflexes automatically reacted and my hands reached Mikha's arm. Damoves ka girl?

"Heyy relax." she held my hands, grabe ang soothing ng voice niya.. I mean her voice... nakaka kalma.


"OA uy, sorry" nakakahiya, hindi naman ito yung first time na sumakay ako ng plane pero i don't know, there's just this different feeling.

"Alam mo ba yung Jello theory?" she seriously asked.

"Ano yun?"

"Imagine may isang bagay inside a Jello, kahit mag shake yung Jello and the object inside it, the pressure suspends it..." dine-demonstrate pa niya with her hand, she paused tas tumingin siya sakin...

"I'm listening" natawa ako kasi it seems she's checking kung nakikinig ako. Baby girl, I can listen to you all day. Eme.

"Ok good... in other words, a plane is not going to suddenly drown out of the sky due to turbulence... the same doon sa object na andoon sa Jello"
