Franki's POV

"Ladies and gentlemen we are now approaching Manila, Philippines where the local time is 06:45 am. 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...."

I was awakened by the flight attendant's announcement. I looked around and saw other passengers settled in their seats. I looked outside the window and admired the view from there. The sun was coming up and its rays are bouncing off on the sea and everything, it was beautiful.
The Philippines is a really beautiful place. It's going to be my first time here and I have heard a lot of great things about it. I have always been intrigued about the culture of the Filipinos and the stories behind their heritage.

A smile formed in my lips.

"I can't believe we're finally going on vacation here!" I said enthusiastically. "I know right? Although I really wanted to go to Indonesia... But, I would also love to know more about the Philippines and the people " Maza said. 

She is my childhood best friend and she has always been supportive. Maza wanted to take a vacation somewhere else but I convinced her to visit here instead. Our friend, Jodi who currently lives in the Philippines was also able to book some commercial gig to keep us occupied. That is a major plus!

After a couple of minutes, the plane landed.

"This is your captain and on behalf of the entire crew, we'd like to thank you for flying with Philippines Airlines! We hope you enjoyed your flight and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day! Mabuhay!"

After going through immigration and security, we went directly to the baggage conveyors to get our things. I was looking out for my luggage when I hear Maza say, "Make sure you didn't forget anything, Franki. We all know how forgetful you are." I slapped her in her arm.

"Hey! Not all the time, just when I get stressed." I pouted. "Says the person who always forget her keys in her car." I glared at her and said, "Well, since you're here. Why don't you look out for my things while I go to the restroom?" I laughed while walking away.

 I went to the comfort room and did my thing, as I was pulling my pants up when I heard someone come in.

"Bakit ba ang tanga tanga mo? Iniwan ka na nga para sa career niya tapos susundan mo pa? Ano para ipagdiinan niya sayo na mas mahal niya yung trabaho niya?" The woman said.

It sounded like she was crying or something so I came out of the cubicle to check.
I was right.

I panicked at the sight of her since I am not used to seeing people cry. I somewhat felt the need to cry too.

"Hey, are you okay miss?" I asked worried.

Before I get my ass embarrassed by crying, I immediately grabbed some tissues and offered it to her.She just stared at me so I had a chance to look at her face. It was angelic but her eyes were really sad. It felt like we were in a staring game when I realized I was holding the tissues for too long.

After grabbing the tissues, she hurriedly went in one of the cubicles. To cry more I guessed. I wanted to comfort her for an unknown reason but we were strangers.

"I hope you feel better miss." I  said and left with a heavy feeling.

I went back to where Maza was and we started walking towards the arrival area.
"Hey girls!" A woman shouted. We looked at where the voice came from and we finally saw Jodi. We ran to her and hugged her tightly. "We missed you so much!" I exclaimed in the middle of our hug. "I did too! It's been what, 2 years? I am telling you, you're not going to regret coming here."

We were in the middle of our conversation when a guy approached us. "Hi girls, let's bring all your stuff in the car. You don't know how bad the traffic is here." It was Paulo, Jodi's boyfriend. They have been together for a year now and he's a Filipino actor. I smiled at him. "So, girls you know Pau. Babe, meet Franki and Maza." She cheerfully introduced us.

"Nice to finally meet you Pau!" We shared a friendly hug and walked towards the car. Maza and I went in the backseat while Jodi was in front. We were on our way in no time and we started talking about how the flight went.

"As usual, Franki slept the whole flight." Maza started teasing me again. Jodi laughed. "Well that's our Franki, our sleeping queen." She also teased. I just rolled my eyes. I was not in the mood to be bullied by these two so I started to look for my phone. I already looked everywhere and I suddenly felt uneasy.
"Guys.."
They all looked at me.

"I think I lost my phone."

Diana's POV
It's really heartbreaking when you are left behind by someone you love.

Andito ako ngayon sa airport. I have been standing for almost half an hour at 'di pa rin nag-sisink in sakin na umalis na si Veronica. She is one of the most important person in my life, apparently, my ex. She broke up with me dahil may nakuha siyang trabaho sa US and she chose her career over me.  Over us.

It's been a month since I last spoke to her. I tried to talk to her before she left but I was too late. I am not the type of person to cry in public so the moment I felt like I was going to cry, pumunta ako agad sa CR.

Once I was inside, tiningnan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin.

"Bakit ba ang tanga tanga mo? Iniwan ka na nga para sa career nya tas susundan mo pa? Ano para ipagdiinan nya sayo na mas mahal nya yung trabaho nya?" Tears immediately fell down my cheeks.
'Buti na lang walang tao dito.' I said to myself. But, I was wrong.

The cubicle door swung open and I was shocked to see a beautiful woman. I was caught off guard so I just stared at her for who knows how long. Narealize ko bigla na I was staring at her and kakaiyak ko lang.

Shit!

She looked me in the eyes confused at first but her look turned into a worried one.
"Hey, are you okay miss?" She asked me.  She was holding her phone that time so binababa nya yun sa may sink and she grabbed some tissues.

"Here, looks like you need it." I was still stunned at what was happening but I took the tissues and wiped my face.

'Nakakahiya ka Diana!' sabi ko sa sarili.

I hurriedly went to a cubicle then closed the door behind it. No one ever saw me crying before, not even my ex. That's why I panicked when someone saw me. I didn't know how to react so inantay ko lang sya umalis.

"I hope you feel better, miss." She said then I heard her leave. I sighed in relief.

I slightly opened the door and  peeked through it. Nung nakasiguro na ko na walang tao, lumabas na ako. I was going to leave when I noticed something near the sink.

It was a mobile phone and I assumed it was that woman's phone. We were the only two people there and I did not see that the first time I was near the sink. She must've forgotten it upon leaving. Na-guilty ako bigla. She was so busy worrying for me that she forgot her phone while I just awkwardly reacted to her. I tried to see kung nasa labas pa sya, but unfortunately, di ko na sya naabutan.

Binuksan ko yung phone and saw her wallpaper which was her selfie. It had a passcode so I didn't know how to access it to somehow contact one of her family or friends to let them know na naiwan nya yung phone sa CR. Somehow she looked familiar but I shrugged the idea off.

I'm quite thankful na I have her phone with me. At least I can thank her once I bring it back to her. I just put the phone in my pocket, hoping someone would contact it.

I went to my car and started driving. Di pa rin maalis sa isip ko yung titig sakin nung babae sa CR. I mean di namin kilala ang isa't isa pero she really looked worried and concerned about me. Then I remembered Veronica and how our last conversation went before she left.

*Flashback*
I was in a resto waiting for Vero. She called me earlier today and told me we have something to talk about. I got an uneasy feeling after the call but I just shrugged it off and tried not to overthink.

We have been together for 2 years now and lately, nagkakalabuan na din kami. She was becoming busy with her work, which was modelling. Offers and photoshoots here and there and we barely even see each other. I was already having second thoughts about our relationship but I didn't want to give up that easily. I mean sayang yung 2 years diba?

After a while, I saw her come in so I waved at her. I kissed her on the cheeks and led her to her seat.
"What do you want to eat?" I asked her. Ayoko pang pag usapan naming kung ano yung sasabihin nya kaya I tried to distract her with food. I have tried it several times before and it works.
"D, I am not going to stay for too long." She said without showing any emotions. Sadly, it didn't work today. I sighed. I guess we can't avoid the conversation anymore. "Okay, shoot." I replied.
"I was offered a modelling contract sa US." I just stared at her and let her continue. "It's for 2 years and I accepted it. It's a great opportunity for me and I won't let it pass."

"Oh, wow. Congratulations." I tried to keep my emotions hidden. She was not talking so I couldn't help it. "So, what about us? Tatapon mo na lang ng basta basta? Are you that selfish?" Anger was already apparent in my voice.

"You know from the very start how I value my career diba? Sinabi ko na sayo yun."
"Ah, so kasalanan ko pa pala na umasa ako. Na, for once mas papa-halagahan mo 'ko, tayo, kesa dyan sa trabaho mo. Kahit ngayon lang Vero, can you please stop being selfish!" I said almost begging her to stay.
"You can't stop me, Diana. I already made my decision." And with that, she stood up and left.

*End of flashback*

I remembered how emotionless her eyes were as she said those words. She used to make my heart skip a beat with so much love but when it all sank in, parang tumigil na sa pag-tibok yung puso ko. I lost her. She's gone and I am left with a realization that I was not even a loss to her, na parang basura lang ako na tinapon na niya kase hindi na niya ako kailangan.

But I am Diana Mackey for a reason. I won't let anyone look at me with pity.
You just lost a gem, V.

And you're never going to get me back.
