When the plane is ready for take-off, hindi mawala sa isip ko ang nangyari 3 years ago, I'm still nervous and afraid. There's so many what if's in my mind.
"This is your cabin crew Charlotte, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Philippine International Airport. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight. If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you. On behalf of Pilipinas Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day!" I said.
"You're nervous, aren't you?" Jane said with her evil smirk.
"Yeah. Kind of. I can't believe that for how many years avoiding this to happen and then there here I am" said.
"You know what, you should've move on" she said while fixing her scarf. I smiled to her bitterly. Easy to say, hard to do.
"Miss Yi, please come to my office" someone said and glanced him. He ordered without glancing at me. Nagkatinginan kami ni Jane at nagkibit-balikat nalang siya.
"Yes, Captain" said. We fixed our things and then I call them for attention.
"Guys that was a great flight and thank you for flying with you. Sign out muna kayo, so let's call it day!" I said to other cabin crew. Nagkatinginan kami ni Jane at alam na niya kung ano ang ibig kong sabihin.
Habang papunta ako sa office meron akong napansin na mga local artist. There's someone caught my attention. Napa-awang ang bibig ko and I stop from walking, is that him? nanliit ang mga mata ko at pinagmasdan kung siya ba talaga yun and its really him! Napatakbo ako bigla at nagtago sa malaking poste. Hindi niya dapat ako makita.
"Mommy stop! Please don't hurt him, please don't do this." I've been crying all day and begging my mom to stop what are they're planning against to the family of Tristan.
"Tumigil ka Charlotte Celestine! Their family is a theft!" mom shouted at me. I've heard her talking to her phone a while ago that they're planning to hurt Tristan para lumalayo siya sa akin.
"For God's sake, mom. Ang tagal na noon. Can you please move on to that issue? Ama and Angkong forgave them, can you please do the same?" said while sobbing. She shake her head saying she's not agree to what I'm talking about.
"You know what Charlotte, go to your room and this conversation is useless" I sighed as a defeat. Maybe some other time, I'll convince her. Ba-baba na sana siya ng hagdan nang bigla siyang nadulas at nabagok ang kanyang ulo doon sa sahig. I was so shocked for a moment.
"Mommy!" agad akong bumaba at dinalohan si mommy.
"Yaya! Tulong, si mommy!" I shouted and even our guards heard it at tumulong na rin sila.
We rushed her to the nearest hospital and my dress is full of blood at doon ko lang napagtanto na galing yun lahat sa ulo ni mommy. Tinawagan ko agad si daddy and without any minute, he arrived.
"Princess, what happened?" Asked while hugging me.
"Nasa ER parin siya, dad" I whispered it.
"Anong nangyari sabi?!" dad almost shout
"Everything was so fast dad. Nahulog siya sa hagdan dad, she was about to go downstairs then suddenly she fell. I'm sorry" I cried when I look at him, his eyes is full of frustration.
