Chapter 45 - Flashback

Ayara's POV

"Happy 18th bday anak ko" Dad said and hugged me.

"Thank you, Dad" I responded and hugged him back.

"Anak ko, ang ganda-ganda mo, mana ka talaga sa akin" Mom said and squeezed my cheek.

"I know right Ma" I responded and giggles.

"Anong mana sa iyo, akin nagmana ang anak natin, diba anak?" Pakikipagtalo ni papa.

"Sorry Pa" I responded at parehas kaming tumawa ni Mama. It's good to see them right now, dahil alam kong after ng debut ko na ito ay babalik na sila ng Manila kaya ienjoy-in ko na.

I expected to see Ria, Shan and Sophia pero wala. Hindi sila pumunta.

"Hi tito nice to meet you, I'm Justine, Ayara's classmate" said Justine, my american classmate na gusto akong ligawan. He's handsome but no, he's very babaero.

"Nice meeting you, kamusta si Ayara sa school?" Dad asked. Natawa ako dahil nagtagalog siya.

"Dad, hindi nakakaintindi ng tagalog yan" bulong ko.

"Eh paano niya alam yung word na tito?" Bulong pabalik ni Dad.

"Hindi ko alam, pang pa-good shot" tugon ko at tumawa nang mahina.

"I'm sorry tito I can't catch up with your language" Justine said and scratched his nape.

"It's okay iho, I meant was how's Ayara at school?" Tanong ni Dad.

"She's great tito, very great. She's our top 1 and highest in our class, she's very amazing, I admire her" Justine responded, but even though he complimented me, hindi ako kinilig.

"Do you like my daughter?" Dad asked suddenly and the expression on his face changed.

"I like her, tito. I wanted to court her but she rejected me" Justine replied and dad laughed secretly.

Our other friends called Justine so he left.

"Keep rejecting him. Hindi ko gusto ang awra niya, hindi siya bagay sa'yo, mukhang manloloko" Dad whispered at me, tumawa kaming tatlo sa sinabi ni Dad.

My debut will start in a minute so I step up to a small stage with an elegant navy blue chair. I sat down and many cameras were capturing me while I was sitting peacefully.

My eyes are really looking for Ria and others but I can't see them, have they forgotten me?

I hope not.

A very very long timeskip.

"Ayara...!"

"Take them with you! The fire is spreading, I'll look for Lingling, go!"

"No..no, you're coming with us..!" I shouted while tearing up.

"Baby please wala nang oras, or else we're going to be trapped here inside.!"

We ran outside the house, leaving Mikhael inside.

Suddenly something exploded inside, and the fire grew stronger.

"Mikhael...!!"

I sat down suddenly, sweating, while Jane was beside me.

Panaginip lang yon?

"Kanina pa kita ginising" Jane said and touched my shoulder.

"You're sweating too much, malakas naman ang aircon" she added.

"What happened?" I asked.

"What do you mean ms. Ayara? Nothing happened" Jane responded and looked very confused.

"Food is ready Ms. Ayara, your flight back to Manila will be 4 pm" dagdag niya kaya napatingin ako sa oras sa cellphone ko.

It's already 1:30 pm.

"Your suitcases are ready too" she added.

"Okay, I'll be downstairs, maliligo na ako" I said and stood up.

I went into the bathroom and undressed, I'm not going to soak in the bathtub because It'll only eat my time so I took a shower.

Why did I suddenly dream of her?

That's weird.

.

After I ate, naligo na kaagad ako and wore a white top paired with a black trouser and a brown coat. After changing, bumaba na ako at kumain, inaya ko rin ang mga housemaid na samahan ako dahil paalis na rin naman na ako. After eating, tumayo na sila at nagpaalam na sa akin.

"We will miss you po ma'am Ayara, balik po kayo ha" Said a nanny who is about my age but older a bit.

"Opo babalik po ako dito" I responded and smiled at them.

"Iha.,kapag bumalik ka dito, isama mo ang asawa mo ha" one of the nanny said. I was caught off guard sa sinabi niya pero ngumiti nalang ako.

I bowed my head and started to bid my farewell to them.

Habang nasa kotse, tulala lang ako habang nakasilip sa bintana.

Why do I have to go back when I already have a good life here? Dad hasn't said the reason why I have to go back to the Philippines.
.

It was already 3 pm when we arrived at the airport, ako lang ang uuwi ng Pinas at hindi kasama ang assistant ko o ang dalawang bodyguard ko, kampante na ako mag-isa at wala namang mangyayaring masama sa akin.

I just sat down listening to music while waiting dahil 4pm pa naman ang board ko sa plane. Public airplane ang sasakyan ko, Dad requested me to ride our private jet pero hindi ako pumayag, hindi naman ako maarte.

Timeskip

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen this is your captain Salazar, speaking. I'll be flying the CA819 today, with Captain Bautista as my co-pilot. Thank you for choosing Celestial Airlines and welcome aboard."

"We'll be departing from Paris, France and arriving in Manila, Philippines."

"Our estimated flight time is 18 hours and 35 minutes."

"Please fasten your seatbelts, electronic devices should be in airplane mode, and all carry-on luggage should be stowed."

"And we're delighted to have a special guest on board, please join me in welcoming Ms. Ayara Arcallana. We hope you enjoy your flight with us today."

What the...?
