In The Name Of Gloves

CHAPTER 9

"Jacee-chan, Hisashiburi!"

Jacee smile and waved her hand at the woman cheerfully calling her name. Though it was just 4 hours and 14 minutes she really felt tired.

Mas napagod yata ang balikat niya dahil sa katabi niya sa eroplano. Nananakit ito dahil sa lalaking iyon. Wala naman siyang magawa dahil nasa ere na ang eroplano ng mga oras na iyon alangan naman itapon niya pababa ang lalaki.

She can still remember how her flight tired her because of him.

"Why are you here?" she asked confusingly.

He gave her a cheeky smile. "Of course, I have a flight to Japan as well what else would be the reason?"

How stupid of her to asked him. Of course, he have also flight. She shouldn't get affected by his presence right?

"What are you thinking?" he asked her.

Hindi niya ito sinagot at nagpasak na lang ng earphone saka pumikit. Hindi pa lumilipas ang ilang minuto ng maramdaman niyang nawala ang earphone sa kabilang tenga niya.

What the-

"Ano sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo?"

"Share your music please?" he gave her puffy eyes.

She sighed then close her eyes again. They're just meet few days ago and here they are. Sharing one earphone with his head on her shoulder as if they've been together for a long time.

She should get awkward by their closeness because she never get close like to anyone except from Enn and Khian sometimes.

Yet she feels comfortable by his side. An hour have passed and the man beside her is peacefully sleeping.

If Khian didn't cheat are they going to be happy couple? If he became a good man maybe they enjoy their vacations and anniversaries together.

Sa umpisa lang naging masaya ang relasyon nila. She hope Khian learn how to value the person he will loved in the future so she won't regret meeting him.

"I know I'm handsome but please stop staring I am shy type"

Imbis na maasar sa kayabangan ni Trav ay natawa pa siya sa ka-inosentehan ng mukha nito.

What a cute guy.

"Nante ikemen, Kare wa anata no kareshi desu ka? Jacee-chan." What a handsome man,Is he your boyfriend?

Agad na napalingon si Jacee sa likuran niya sa tanong ni Haruka. What the hell!

"Ie, Kare sode arimasen , Haruka" No, he is not.

Looks like Haruka didn't believe her because her friend faced Trav and asked him the same question she asked her.

"Are you her boyfriend?" Haruka asked Trav in English.

Trav was amused how her friend speak English fluently. Jacee just observed the two though she got nervous of what Trav was about to answer.

Trav look at her then smiled at Haruka."Not yet, I'm her suitor"

Halos malaglag ang panga ni Jacee sa gulat sa isinagot ni Trav. He's just kidding right? Haruka turn to her and gave her a teasing smile before she introduce herself to Trav.

"I'm Haruka Fujima and you are?"

"Travelle Conorado"

Haruka's eyes widen. "You owned Conorado Enterprise?"

Trav nodded.

Siniko naman siya ni Haruka saka bumulong sa kaniya. "Bet ko siya friend! Hot and yummy na mayaman pa!"

Naiiling na lang si Jacee sa kalokohan nito. Haruka Fujima is belong to their circle of friends, they meet her when she studied abroad and transferred in their university way back in college. They teach her how to speak in Filipino because that time the language she can only speak is Japanese and English.

Since she's fast learner, Haruka didn't have a hard time learning the language. They became really close and when their graduation ended she feel sad because Haruka returned to Japan. As years passed by they just contact each other thru chats and web cam.

She really missed her yet Jacee annoyed right now when Haruka didn't even talked to her the whole ride. She keep on asking things about Trav.

Sa bahay siya ng mga ito pansamantalang tutuloy at dahil nga nandito rin si Trav. She doesn't know where he will stay so she asked.

"Where are you going to stay here? Trav."

He gazed at her. "Maybe in a hotel"

"Bakit hindi ka na lang din sa bahay tumuloy kasama ni Jacee-chan?"

"Haruka!" saway niya sa kaibigan.

"Nani suru?" What?

She's getting stubborn now. Imbes na makinig ay nginitian lang siya nito saka patuloy na nakipag-usap kay Trav hanggang sa makarating sila sa bahay nito.

TRAV CAN SEE that Jacee is annoyed.
Why does she have to be so cute with annoyed face?

"You don't just like her, you love her"

Napalingon si Trav sa kaibigan ni Jacee. Is he that obvious?

"Don't deny it"

"I won't!" depensa niya rito.

She smile sweetly at him yet danger is visible to her eyes as if she's torturing him on her mind.

"Don't you dare to break her heart Travelle, I value my friend and I don't want to see her in pain so don't you really dare! Or I'll break every bones you have!" she said sweetly while throwing daggers at him with her eyes.

Trav felt threaten by her, but he shouldn't be afraid because what he feels for Jacee is genuine. He never think of cheating and never do.

Yesterday, after knowing that Jacee will leave the country. He asked Jay which country she will go. Then he book a flight immediately.

Same time and day Jacee will leave. He didn't sleep because he packed his things and call her assistant to send him thru email all the things he needed to see in their business.

Jay (JayEnn) keep on cussing at him the morning because he already arrive at the airport and Jacee was there. He can still remember his friend's every words before he enter the airport.

"Make her forget and make her  happy T, take care of my best friend,  don't you dare cheat! Ako ang unang sasapak sayo kapag umiyak na naman yun" tinapik nito ang balikat niya. "I trust you man, don't break my trust"

Napangiti na lang siya, hindi niya malaman kung nagpapaalala ba talaga si Enn o nagbabanta.

"I'll do my best to make her happy bud, but I can't promised that she won't cry it's part of being inlove! Pain always interfere whenever someone's happy"

Natawa siya ng makitang nalukot ang mukha ng kaibigan na para bang nandidiri ito sa pinagsasabi niya.

"Stop your cheesey lines Conorado, nakakadiri ka---" tumahimik ito saglit."-- well you have a point. Now go and chase your woman bago pa magbago isip ko na pinagkatiwala ko best friend ko sa sayo!"

Humalakhak si Trav sa naging reaksyon ni Enn saka nagpaalam na rito. It's time to follow his heart. It's not being gay or what, he's just inlove and when people in fall in love they can do crazy and unusual things for their loveones.

When the plain take off his plan will start. To make her forget the past and be her future.
