Accidentally in Love

Chapter 9

March 12, 2017, Tokyo

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Tokyo Narita Airport. Local time is 12:15 in the afternoon, and the temperature is 18 degrees Celsius.

For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about.

Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board, and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight.

If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you. Thank you for flying Pilpap Airlines." I opened my eyes the moment I felt the plain come to a complete stop. I've always hated the feeling of getting dizzy because of the take-off and landing of a flight. Kahit na ilang beses na akong sumasakay ng eroplano, I couldn't seem to make myself relaxed during those times. Idagdag mo pa ngayon yung inis ko kay Sir Mark at sa lecheng FA na tingin nang tingin sa akin, ewan ko na lang kung kakayanin ko pa talagang mag-relax.

Nagsimula nang kunin ng mga pasahero yung mga gamit hila sa overhead cabins. Actually, kahit hindi pa nga nag-announce na pwede nang kumuha ng gamit, nagtayuan na yung iba. Imbis na makigaya, I've waited 'til almost everyone walked out of the elevator bago ako tumayo. Hindi ko kasi gets kung bakit kailangang makipag-unahan sa paglabas ng eroplano. Pare-pareho lang naman kayo ng prosesong pagdaraanan. May pa-free accommodation ba 'pag nauna ka? Wala naman, 'di ba? So why the rush?

Aabutin ko na sana yung bag ko when the FA who kept on staring at me beat me to it. Being taller than I am, nakuha niya agad yung gamit ko.

"Here you go, Ma'am," sabi niya sabay abot ng bag ko. When I looked up at him, he was smiling at me. That's when I noticed that he's more attractive when he smiles.

Ay. Shit. Ano ba 'tong naiisip ko? I mentally slapped myself because of that. I then mumbled my thanks and just when I was about to leave the plane, he called me.

"I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable during the flight. If there is any way for me to make it up to you, just tell me... Ma'am," aniya pero halatang may pag-aalangan ang pagdugtong niya ng ma'am sa dulo ng sentence niya. Napailing na lang ako dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Apology accepted, and there's really no need for that," sagot ko naman sa kanya just to end the conversation. 

"I insist," pagpupumilit naman niya. My patience was already wearing thin kaya kahit na cute nga siya, I have to end this now.

"Look, if hindi ka talaga pinapatahimik ng konsensya mo, just let me go for now. I'll just let Dan know kapag may naisip na akong way para maging quits na tayo. Okay?" Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sumapi sa akin para sabihin 'yon but I did what I had to do. Gusto ko na talagang makapag-check in sa hotel para makapagpahinga. Naghahalo na ang antok, pagod, at inis sa katawan ko. I didn't need more stress in my life kahit na cute pa ang cause nito.

"Did anyone mention my name?" biglang sabat ni Dan.

"Speaking of the devil," mahinang sabi ng cute na FA sabay iling. I had to stop myself from laughing because of that. Feeling ko kasi para siyang nagseselos na ewan kay Dan.

Wait, what? Saan nanggaling 'yon???

"Hmm. Wala. Huwag mo nang pansinin. Message na lang kita for the dinner, ha?" sagot ko naman kay Dan. 

"Yes, Ate. See you!" Dan answered with a smile tapos sinamaan naman siya ng tingin ni cute FA. Maglalakad na sana ako paalis nung sumingit pa ulit siya.
