"Xy, I will miss you..."umiiyak na sabi ni Kaye. She wiped her tears away using her knuckles and hugged me tighter.

Tumawa ako, "One week lang akong mawawala, Kaye, miss agad? Kasama mo naman si Sheen, Jean at si Hale dito sa condo mo."ani ko at hinaplos ang buhok niya. Suminghot siya kaya inilayo ko ang ulo niya sa uniform ko.

"Uy, teka! Mababasa ang uniform ko!"ani ko. Tumawa lang siya at inayos ang scarf ko.

I am wearing our Flight Attendant uniform. We have a layover in Abu Dhabi and we'll spend one week there. Kaye is crying, exaggerated, because of the thought that I'll be gone for a long time.

An Audi A8 parked in front of us. Agad bumukas ang windshield doon at bumungad sa amin si Sheen at Hale. Sheen waved at us.

"Miss FA! Arat na!"aniya. I laughed and went nearer while carrying my small luggage. Pinasok ko sa back compartment ng sasakyan ang maliit kong maleta at pumasok na sa shotgun seat.

"Ingat."Kaye's last statement before Sheen started driving to the airport.

It's 8:19 when we got there. Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila at saka ako pumunta sa loob.

"Hey! Nandito na lahat ng FA and Pilots. Ikaw at si Kia nalang ang hinihintay."bungad ni Kariel, my co-Flight Attendant.

"8:30 pa diba ang flight? Okay, whatever."ani ko nang maalala na dapat pala before 8:30, nandito na kaming lahat.

8:26 na dumating si Kia kaya pagdating niya, pumasok na kami kaagad sa aircraft.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Helen Corazon, the chief flight attendant of AirPhilippines. Welcome aboard."

We helped the passengers by their luggage and put it in the overhead bin.

When the door closed, we started the safety demonstration.

"We are third in priority for take-off, we should depart in about five minutes. Cabin crew, please take your seat for take-off."

Eksaktong alas onse trenta ng umaga ay lumapag na ang eroplano. Ate Helen stood up and announced.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have just landed at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Local time is 11:30 a.m and the temperature is 39 degrees celsius."

Ngumiti kami sa bawat pasaherong lumalabas ng eroplano. We also helped the others by their carry on lugggage.

"On behalf of Captain Jeffrey Rivera and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for joining us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice day!"

We waited at the waiting shed for our service. I was watching the beautiful pink skies above when Kariel suddenly nudge my elbow by hers.

"Si Mister green-eyed man, tingin nang tingin na naman sa 'yo. Look."bulong niya at bahagyang nginuso ang lalaking may kulay berdeng mata.

He stared at me for a long time like he want to come and hug me so I gave him a leer.

He was like that since the very first day I saw him. Hindi ko siya kilala kaya nacre-creepy-han na ako sa kaniyang mga titig. Like, duh?! Sinong hindi macre-creepy-han niyan, eh, kapag nandiyan ako, tititig siya na parang gusto niya akong halikan.

"Don't mind him. He's creepy."ani ko at kinuha na ang maliit na maleta nang makita ang service namin na paparating.

I positioned myself at the last seat of the SUV beside the windowshield. Sumunod naman si Kariel at saka si Kia.

Nang makita ang lalaki na may kulay berdeng mata na pumasok, agad ko siyang inirapan at isinalampak ang headset sa tenga ko.

I played the song First True Love by Kolohe Kai in all the way to the hotel. Nang umabot na kami doon ay agad kaming bumaba at kinuha ang luggage sa back compartment.

Kukunin ko na sana ang akin nang kinuha ni green-eyed man iyon at ibinaba. Kariel sighed heavily and whispered something to Kia. Agad sumalubong ang kilay ko at marahas kinuha ang maleta pabalik sa akin.

Narinig kong marahas na kumawala ang hininga ni FA Villanueva.

"Ano bang problema mo?! Tingin ka ng tingin sa 'kin, nacre-creepy-han na ako sa 'yo! You were like that since the first day! Eh, hindi naman kita kilala!"diniretso ko na siya. He looked at me and I saw a glimpse of hurt in his eyes that made my heart crumpled a little and I don't know why.

Hinila ako ni Kia palayo sa kaniya at pumasok nalang kami sa hotel. We entered the elevator and got out when we're in the right floor.

Nang lumingon ako sa likod ay agad kong nakita si green-eyed man at si FA Villanueva na dala-dala ang maleta nila. His green-colored eyes glanced at me but immediately cut our eyes-conversation that made my heart crumple in an unknown reason.

Si FA Villanueva naman ngayon ay tingin ng tingin sa akin. When he noticed me watching him, he came near me. Tinaas ko ang kilay ko.

"You don't know him but he does. You don't love him but he does. You hate him but he doesn't hate you. You never know why he keeps on glancing at your way but he has a reason. You don't care but he does. Deep inside, he wanted to hug and kiss you but he couldn't... because you don't remember him."his statement before he left me, confused of what he said.

Tumingin ako kay FA Villanueva at nakita ko siyang may binulong kay green-eyed man. The green-eyed man glanced at me after FA Villanueva whispered something.

Umirap ako sa kaniya. Creepy...
