DEFYING GRAVITY
PROLOGUE
It was Saturday morning and I am bound to go to my province. Matagal na din akong hindi nakapunta dun.
How many years na nga ba? 4? 5? Basta matagal na. But this time, I am alone. My mom cannot come due to busy schedules. Marami kasing nag oorder ng flowers. Dad cannot come too, busy din. And my sister, Dianne, well, she's busy with her studies, so I went off alone.
Hindi rin ako kumuha ng ticket para sa commercial airplane, mahal kasi ang bayad, December na. Dun ako sasakay sa eroplano ng mga sundalo. Di naman rin ako natatakot kasi marami kaming civilians.
"Montreal" sabi nung sundalo.
Tumayo ako tsaka pumunta dun. Ilang minuto ang nakalipas, mag boboard na daw kami.
At dahil walang specific seat dito, umupo ako katabi ang bintana.
Ilang minuto parin ang nakalipas, may tumabi sa aking sundalo.
I wear my earphones tsaka pinikit ang aking mata.
Ilang minuto, biglang may humablot sa earphones ko.
"Excuse me?" I said.
"Sabi ko, fasten your seatbelt. Feeling mo ang taba mo para di mahulog sa upuan." sabi nung katabi ko.
"I can handle myself mister. Hindi mo kailangang mang hablot ng earphones. Tss" sagot ko tsaka inirap ang mata.
Nag turn on ang seatbelt sign.
"See?" sabi niya sabay smirk. Tiningnan ko siya head to foot... Gwapo siya, pero ewan ko, I'm defying gravity, that's why all I could say is... "YUCKS!"
