Taste of Sky (EL Girls Series #1)

Chapter 52

Chapter 52

We're all expecting that the action will soon start but the chairman gave us another three days to leave the UASA base.

The Flight Admiral told us that will be using newly the advance airplanes for this mission with the touch of Engr. Wright's creation.

Kaya rin siguro hindi kami pwedeng umalis dahil hindi pa tapos si Engr. Wright sa pag-analisa ng mga eroplano.

"So what is your plan for three days? Don't tell me you're going to stay there. Gosh." Umiling ako sa sinabi niya.

"Can't you see Alys? I am packing some of my things."

"For?"

"Pedro and I will camp. Siguro masyadong nakakatawa ang gagawin namin ngayon, nagkakagulo na ang mundo pero ito—" hindi niya ako pinatapos.

"There's nothing funny about it Behati, you need to freshen up before your toughest fight. Hindi pwedeng puro na lang hirap ang gawin niyo ni Peter, dapat may sarap din." She gave me her silliest grin.

"Seriously Alys?"

"What?" she asked me innocently.

I was in the middle of zipping may backpack when I remembered that I already have my engagement ring.

Umupo na ako sa kama at mas hinarap ko na ang pinsan ko.

"Alys, I have something to show you."

"Come on, Behati. If you're going to show me another picture of airplanes that you're about to handle, cousin I am not interested." She waved her hand.

"It's not an airplane, Alys." I pulled my silver necklace.

Namilog ang mga mata ni Alys nang ipakita ko sa kanya ang singsing na ibinigay sa akin ni Pedro.

I bit my lower lip when my cousin shouted and even rolled over her bed. I even saw her tears of joy.

"Oh my gosh, Behati! I'm so happy for you. Oh gosh, gusto kitang yakapin sa mga oras na ito. I want to kiss you cousin! Pasasalamatan ko si Peter! Pasasalamatan ko siya! You know—you know—mas gumaan ang loob ko. Mas masaya na akong ikakasal ngayon Behati."

Lance and her wedding got delayed due to different emergencies and events. But they're actually planning to have it after three months from now.

Hindi rin gustong magpakasal ni Alys na wala ako sa araw ng kasal niya.

"Why? Hindi ka ba masaya sa umpisa pa lamang?"

"Ofcourse, I am happy but there is a part from me that I want to stay single while you're still alone. Ayokong isipin mo na iniwan kita sa ere. Yes, I know that I was thinking too much. Ayaw lang kitang iwanan Behati." Kumirot ang dibdib ko sa sinabi ni Alys.

Alys existence is my everything, naging suporta namin ang isa't-isa nang sandaling sabay lumubog ang mga paa namin sa putikan. She cried, mourned, cursed, laughed and smiled with me in every page of my life. Lahat ng yugto ng buhay namin ay lagi kaming magkasama.

That's why we valued each other too much.

"Sorry for my attitude Alys, hindi ko alam na ganito na pala ang hirap na nararanasan mo sa akin."

"There is nothing wrong with your attitude, 'yan nga ang bagay na hinahangaan ko sa'yo. The only problem is sometimes you're being too much. At hindi mo na naiisip ang sarili mo. Ilang beses ko nang sinabi sa'yo ito noon, na baka tumandang dalaga ka dahil iisa lang ang nakikita mo. Eroplano. Natatakot ako na habang masaya na akong may pamilya, nandyan ka pa rin at pilit ginawa ang mga bagay na hindi mo nagawa noon. Doing the right things but unable to see your own happiness, kaya ako na ang isa sa pinakamasayang tao nang malaman kong may lalaking mahal na mahal ka ngayon." Umawang ang mga labi ko sa mahabang sinabi ng pinsan ko.
