Let's fly together

"Are you sure that you'll be fine?" Aden said worriedly and he held my hands tightly.

He sounds so worried that his sweat runs to his handsome face, damn what a hot man! Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti dahil napakaswerte ko sakanya.

"Hey baby why are you smiling? Do you see me as a joke?" He asked and his deep voice is like a lullaby to my ears.

I chuckled and kiss his forehead numerous times.
"No baby, I just find you cute I'll be okay because I have you and you will hold my hands as you promised" I said to make him stop worrying.

But deep inside I'm afraid, my anxiety fills my entire system whenever I look down.

"Of course baby I'll hold you forever. Kaya mo yan ah " he said and leaned to kiss me.

Napangiti ako sa ginawa niya pero nang makita ko ang nasa baba namin napapikit nalang ako.

Alden flinched and held my hands tigher.

We are here on the top of the mountains to face my fears in heights and fears of flying. And we will gonna face it together by zip lining .

I'm an acrophobia and an aerophobia. I fear heights and flying but my dream is opposite to it. My dream is to be a flight attendant but I can't achieve it when I'm always scared but my man will help me to face it.

Aden was my long time boyfriend. At a young age we already planned out future. His dream is to he pilot and I want to be a flight attendant . He often said that we will fly and explore the world together and that will be the best feeling for me.

"Wear your helmets maam and sir."the operator said  and I quickly wear mine with my trembling hands.

Alden fixed my helmet and double checks my harness while I'm staring at him. Goodness kinakabahan ako pero there is no way out, I need to face it.

Tila nabingi ako ng ilang sandali dahil sa kaba at hindi ko namalayan tinulak na kami ng operator.

I closed my eyes tightly habang nararamdaman ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin na sumasalubon saamin. I felt dizzy at gusto ko nang bumaba, a tear fell from my eyes and I quietly sob pero natigilan ako nang hinigpitan ni Aden ang hawak niya saakin.

"You can do it baby, you can do it."he said and smiled at me.

My fear suddenly fades right away when I heard his soothing voice . Tumango ako sakanya bilang tugon at hinyaan ko ang katawan kong maramdaman ang pakiramdam ng paglipad.

Unti unti kong naramdaman na ang saya aa bawat sandaling tinatangay kami ng hangin. I moved my gaze and I saw something incredible that made my heart burst because of satisfaction. Natural landscape never failed to make me amaze. God is truly an artist.

"I love you" sambit ni Alden na siyang nagpatigil saakin bigla. If natural landscapes never failed to make me amaze, this man never failed to make me happy and for me he is one of the best God's masterpiece.

I met him during my gloomy days yet he managed to make my life brighter than before. Wala na akong mahihiling pa sa katulad niya. I'm so happy that he is the one who guided me to face my fears para sa pangarap namin. I will make sure that we will fly together.

"I love you too, Thank you for everything " pasigaw kong sabi sakanya at naging dahilan ng pagtawa niya.

Nawala sa isip ko ang takot at napalitan ito ng saya dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na I succeeded in facing my fears with him.

"Sweetie are you okay?" My mom asked that made me stunned. Biglang naputol ang pagbabalik tanaw ko sa mga ala ala naming dalawa.

"I'm okay Mom" saad ko para hindi siya mag alaala. Alam ko na nagsisinungaling ako dahil hindi ako okay.

Kung pwede lang na saktan ko ang sarili ko hanggang sa maging manhid ako para hindi na ako makaramdam ng sakit pero hindi. The news I received today left me in terror. I tried my best to hold my tears pero hindi ko kaya. I am crying again because of him.

It's been a years now and I'm a flight attendant and he is a pilot now. We both achieved our dreams but he is nowhere to be found.

He was a scholar in Us Aviation Academy, a international school for aeronautics at doon siya nakapagtapos. He was one of the best pilot of our generation and I know he is living his life to the fullest. Habang ako , iniwan niya dito at hindi ko alam ko kung kailan niya ako babalikan. Araw araw ko siyang hinihintay pero today will be the last day of waiting because of the news I heard today.

"Captain Alden Smith , the first Filipino pilot who will operate McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk in Us with his American aviatrices girlfriend."

I overcome my fears with his help for our future yet he never kept his promises.

We never fly together because he found someone better.
