Chapter 24

Chapter 24

When I opened my eyes again, I've returned to my senses. Huminga ako nang malalim at itinuon ko ang aking buong atensyon sa batalyon ng mga sasakyang panghimpapawid na may magkasalungat na pinaglalaban.

This is damn war, Behati.

Dalawa lang ang kahihinatnan ng labanang ito, kami o sila. Isang grupo ang mapupulbos at isang grupo lamang ang mananatiling lumilipad.

It's so ironic that we are inside a single world, but we have different kinds of beliefs. Kahit kailan ay hindi sumang-ayon ang lahat sa isang ideya, o isang paniniwala hanggang mauwi ang mundo sa ganito.

Of course, there would be different beliefs, but should we really end with wars and endless death? Bakit hindi na lang tanggapin ng mga tao kung ano ang mayroon sila kaysa higit na manlamang ng iba? But to ask peace and contentment from anyone would be impossible, because greed has been part of human life.

And it's hard to accept that most of them are leaders, who looked proudly of themselves, while trying to live comfortably without thinking about those people who needed their better leadership the most. Ang labanang ito ay hindi nila nakikita at tanging sarili nilang interes ang higit na mahalaga sa kanila.

Those fool leaders—the reason for this war.

Sa lahat ng klase ng sakit na nabuo sa mundong ito, katangahan ang pinakamalala. At isa iyon sa matinding rason kung bakit naiipit ang mga inosenteng tao sa ganitong sitwasyon.

Huminga ako nang malalim. We should start putting an end to this.

Muli akong tumanaw sa unahan kung saan nakikita ko na ang bawat pagsabog ng mga eroplano. Bumalik saglit sa isip ko ang bawat eroplanong nahawakan ko, ang bawat sundalong ngayon ay nasaksihan ko kung paano ibuwis ang buhay, at ang mga luhang lumandas sa bawat pamilya.

Nangangako akong ibubuhos ang lahat ng nalalaman at abilidad ko sa labang ito.

If I was born for survival, then these enemies should start praying for their lives if they were born to be one of my enemies. Because I will survive no matter what.

Hindi pa ipinapanganak ang pilotong puputol sa aking mga pakpak.

"The pain, hatred, and the courage to survive again, Pedro," I answered him.

"Then I consider you as the most beautiful product of pain, hatred, and courage." He replied without looking back at me.

"Thank you for that, Sir."

"I can no longer accept thank you from you, Lt. Monzanto. Would you like to offer other alternatives?"

Tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi niya.

How can he easily flirt with me in this kind of situation? It could be his talent.

"Negative."

He chuckled.

I started locating and identifying the exact number of planes that we still had in our team. We need to coordinate with Commander Thanh San.

"But you told me that I was improving." He laughed.

Nawala ang tingin ko sa monitor. Seriously?

"You are just imagining things, Commander Armstrong."

"Here we go again, me and my imagination."

I shrugged my shoulder and continued with my controls. We need to wait for another three minutes to complete the battle formation. But with that given time, I know that the enemies would have an idea about our next move.
