Farah Gimeno was asked by her sicked friend to work with the rumored boss monster for one day in exchange of the front seat ticket for the F1 race.
For Farah, the deal is easy. Just like how you ate a candy. Remove the wrapper then you can take wha...

Using my hands, I covered my eyes from the wind caused by the strong current of the helicopter as it landed on the wide-area across. Slowly, the engine stopped and the wind became peaceful again. I saw the woman we are waiting for. She appeared from the open door. Wearing a white dress, not to mention this is my first time to see her wearing such millennial kind of outfit. She looked so calm, just like the weather.
Someone assisted her to cross the stairs, then her attention found me. A warm smile crossed on her lips. "Farah!" she yelled.
I didn't smile back. Instead, my attention flew on the man who's carrying the briefcase that I believe Tristan's important document.
"Nagdala ako ng mga paborito mong pagkain. Tingnan mo—"
The man put the briefcase inside the helicopter. He checked something from his earpiece then he gave a hand signal to someone from our group. That's the time I noticed, Cleo. She's waving the big Tupper ware in front of my face.
"Oh... ano nga ulit 'yan?"
Ibinaba niya 'yon. Ngumiwi sa akin. "Paborito mo. Ayaw mo yata!"
Lumapit ako para bungguin ang balikat niya. "Sino may sabi? Akin na nga 'yan!" Tumakbo siya palayo kaya pinakilos ko ang inuupuang wheelchair para masundan siya. "Hoy! Ano ba! Baka matapon ang sabaw! Maasim ba 'yan?!"
Humagikgik siya at huminto. "Oo naman! Niluto ko 'to para sa'yo!"
Kinuha ko 'yon, nagmamadaling binuksan. Ang aroma ng sinampalukang manok ang agad nagpaahon ng gutom sa sikmura ko, kahit pa katatapos lang namin kumain.
"You can enjoy that later ladies," Tristan interrupted.
Sabay kaming lumingon ni Cleo sa kanya. Lumapit ito sa akin. Umuklo para mas makita ng malapitan ang aking mukha. He pinched my cheek.
"Ouch!"
He smiled and poke my nose. "You'll behave, okay?" he softly said.
Pinigil ko ang umuusbong na emosyon sa puso ko. Tumango ako, agad umiwas nang tingin. Hindi siya nagsalita. Nagpakawala lang siya nang mabigat na hininga. Sa muli kong paglingon sa kanya ay papalayo na siya sa akin. Sinusundan ng lalaking may tangan kanina ng brief case.
Bago tuluyang sumampa ay muli siyang tumingin sa akin.
I smiled and gave him a quick waved. He subtly nodded and proceeded inside. Nagsimulang kumilos ang elisi ng Helicopter, kasabay nang malakas na bulusok ng hangin.
Naramdaman ko ang paghila ni Cleo sa wheelchair ko patalikod doon. "Tara! Alam kong gutom ka na Farah."
Nilibang niya ako. Sa galing niya sa pagluluto, hindi ko namalayan sa buong maghapon na baldado ako. She assisted me very well as if she's my mother. Just like before each time, I'll take my vacation to her house. She would always take good care of me. Such a nice friend I don't regret to befriend.
