Taste of Sky (EL Girls Series #1)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

After minutes of flight exhibition, I landed back without sweat. How I hate making a show to impress, I just want to fly with my own kind of wings by helping those people in need.

Hindi ako pumasok sa larangan ito para tingalain at hangaan dahil sa aking abilidad. Pumasok ako dito para gawin ang mga bagay na hindi ko nagawa noon. Pero hindi talaga maiiwasan na kailangan kong magpakitang gilas sa mata ng mga tao, ayaw ko man o hindi. Lagi nila itong hinahanap sa akin.

How I hate crowds, eyes of people and attentions. I just want to be alone and be successful without catching someone's interest.

I am now walking towards Commander Jensen together with the two other crews. They are probably our uppers.

Mabagal silang pumapalakpak tatlo sa akin na may ngiti sa kanilang mga labi.

"Wow, that was impressive Flight Lieutenant Monzanto." Lalong lumapad ang ngiti sa akin ng lalaking nasa kaliwa ni Commander Jensen.

Tumigil na ito sa pagpalakpak at nakatitig na lamang ito sa akin.

"Thank you Sir," I gave him my fake smile. Ilang beses ko na ba itong ginawa simula nang dumating ako dito?

"What we'll expect from the top pilot this year?" sagot naman ng nasa kanan niya.

"Behati," pansin ko na sabay tumaas ang kilay ng dalawang lalaki nang tawagin ako ni Commander Jensen sa pangalan ko. How I hate him. "May I introduce you our senior advisers. Senior adviser Vos and Senior Adviser Reyes, they'll be guiding us for this year project."

Inabot ko ang kanilang mga kamay.

"It's a pleasure working up with you Sir, let's help each other."

"Commander Jensen, you're so lucky man. You've got a very beautiful Flight Lieutenant. I thought it was just a rumors." Tuluyan nang nasira ang araw ko.

What rumors? Ako? Anong klaseng usapan ang kumakalat tungkol sa akin?

I never bothered hiding my expression. Salubong na ang kilay ko habang nakatitig sa kanilang tatlo. Tipid na sumulyap sa akin si Commander Jensen at tumaas lang ang kilay nito sa akin.

"She could even surpass those girls from Miss Universe." Dagdag pa ni Senior Adviser eyes.

"Sorry to break your imaginations gentlemen, but I can do better. I can enter in universe, literally. With or without my beauty." This time I gave them my sarcastic smile.

I saw Commander Jensen bit his lower lip. He's damn mocking me.

"So? Shall we go? The foods are waiting for us." Tumango ang dalawang kasama niya at hinayaan niya ang mga itong maunang maglakad sa amin.

Alam kong nagpaiwan siya para sabayan niya akong maglakad pero nagpatay malisya ako at nagsimulang maglakad na hindi pinapansin ang presensiya niya.

Kung may itatanong siya, sasagot ako. Huwag niya akong asahan na magsalita para gumawa ng usapan sa pagitan namin.

"You're too cold, can't you smile a little bit?"

"What sir?"

"You may call me Dale or Gabriel? You're too formal."

"You're my commander, it is required to call you with honorifics."

"But I am allowing you to call me by my name." Humarap na ako sa kanya.

"But I am not allowing myself sir. I don't call anyone in this field using their name."

"Uhuh?"
