Ticket

"Hey..." sinadya ko talagang huling bumaba ng eroplano. Wala na akong ibang naisip kahit sa pag tulog kundi kung saan ko mahahanap si Malik. I don't know where he lives at ayaw ko naman na mag tanong sa kapatid niya.

At isa pa this is urgent. I need to talk to him and ask for help. Buti nalang magkasama kami sa flight ngayon.

"Brioni," he smiled cheerfully and rested his arm on my shoulder as we walked towards the departure. "Don't tell me you want another date with me?"

Inirapan ko siya. "I need your help so please just this once?"

He looked curious and relaxed, looking at me. "What is it?"

"Uhmm... i don't know if this is not proper or something but i really need you to help me do something for Royce."

His brows look more serious now. "What happened? Should i report him now? What did he do to you?"

"No, not that."

"What?"

"I know you're Nicco's brother and me asking a favor from you might be distasteful but Royce really..."

"What is it? Tell me. I'll help you no matter what it is."

"Can you please help him? He really needs to be with his family now and it's urgent. He needs to go to the hospital and—i'm sorry if i had to talk to you about this. He really just needs to be home as soon as possible."

"I know he's allowed to go back to his country next week but he needs to be home immediately," I continued.

I swallowed hard when i watch him so serious looking at me blankly. I know this might be a bit insulting on his part since he's Nicco's brother but i don't really have a choice now.

"Did i just heard you almost begging to me just for a guy?"

Biting my lip nervously. "I'm sorry...i r-really need your help. I don't know anyone that can help me with this."

He patted my head and nodded. "Tell your friend that he can leave anytime he wants just make sure to inform the management about his plans. It won't be nice to see him leave and not come back here for work, huh?"

"Yeah, of course the contract was signed for a reason." I smiled at him feeling a little bit relieved now.

"You'll call the office about it?" I asked just to make sure that I didn't assumed things.

He nodded. "Yes, Brioni."

"Thank you," I sighed, excited to tell Royce about the good news. I faced the hallway in front of us as we walk with a smile on my face.

"I really didn't know if you'd be nice enough to help but i just took a chance...anyway, thank you,"

Hindi siya nagsalita kaya nilamon lang kami ng ingay ng airport. It's fine with me. I can live with silence.

"Let's go buy some coffee," he walked towards the coffee shop and i'm behind him following.

"You'll ride the bus? Where do you currently live by the way?"

"Sometimes, if i wanna sleep in the apartment provided by the company just like every employee,"

"And sometimes you're in your father's mansion," natawa ako nang maalala ang magarbong bahay nila.

"I have a condo and i sleep there if I'm driving my car. If i'm tired and lazy to drive then i'll take the company bus."

"Oh, the same building where I live?"
