On a busy holiday night with all the hustle and bustle in New York, Cher Anders is on her way to JFK airport to catch a red-eye flight to Manila. It has been ten years since she visited her second home. Her big sister Trisha owns a five-star hotel in Manila and Cher is flying there to spend Christmas with her. As soon as Cher entered Terminal One, she noticed a crowd cheering "Say yes." loudly. She couldn't get through the check-in counter with the large crowd in front of her. A few minutes later, the crowd dispersed, and a couple was left in the middle. A brown-haired girl who looked like a supermodel with long legs and slim figure was crying hysterically. The handsome man was still seen kneeling and waiting for the girl's answer.

"Maybe she's not ready."

"All of this airport drama and your girl still couldn't say yes?"

"Oh please, I need to check-in now." said Cher as she passed by the couple.

"Why are people proposing in airports?" exclaimed Cher as she walked towards TSA checkpoint. As soon as Cher grabbed all of her hand-carry items, she rushed to her designated gate.

"Oh my God! You're blocking the way!" Cher's furious reaction when she bumped into a seemingly gorgeous man standing in her way. This perfectly chiseled face, tall man standing six-feet-two-inches with dark brown pompadour styled hair wearing a navy-blue polo shirt, dark gray pants, and black leather shoes, laughed as Cher yelled those words.

"Excuse me, I'm trying to catch my flight that I've been planning for years!" Cher said in a voice that sounds so annoyed as she walks away.

As soon as Cher got settled in her first-class seat, she began taking pictures for her fashion and lifestyle blog. She noticed someone just sat next to her and when she turned her head to her left, she was surprised to see the gorgeous man he bumped into earlier. "What are the odds!" the man uttered. "Look, I was in a hurry and I didn't want to miss my flight that I have been planning for years! I didn't see you standing there" said Cher. The man arrogantly responded, "You know what, you don't have to explain yourself. I'm not interested."

It was an awkward silence between the two for the first few hours after takeoff. Cher couldn't stand the arrogant man's presence the whole flight and was relieved after eighteen hours on air when they finally landed in Manila.

Trisha Anders is Cher's big sister and only sibling; they were born three years apart and they grew up very close. Cher would always confide in her in every situation. Trisha opened her first luxury five-star hotel in Manila last year which became one of the hippest hotels in Asia. She plans on expanding her business to the US and is starting the construction in New York after the holidays. Dressed in business casual wearing a dark blue blazer on top of a cropped white sleeveless, paired with dark pants and white shoes, Trisha Anders was standing in her hotel's lobby waiting for Cher when her mom called to update her on Cher's arrival. Their mother Jackie reminded Trisha to take care of Cher while she's in Manila. "Yes mom, Cher's plane landed an hour ago, she's on her way here. She said she's staying at Lux Hotel, so I got her a room here. Don't worry about her, she's twenty-six, she's not a baby anymore." responded Trisha. "I'll see you two here in New York for New Year's Eve. Have fun you two. I love you." said Jackie. "Bye mom. I'll see you soon." Trisha replied.

A few minutes later, Cher entered the hotel and she sees her sister standing in the lobby with a huge smile in her face. "Hey big sis! I can't believe it! I'm here! Nice hotel by the way!" Cher said while jumping like a happy kid. "Come, I'll show you your room. You owe me a story." Trisha excitedly tells Cher. When they got up the hotel room that Trisha provided for Cher, Trisha started asking her questions. "So, how's your eighteen-hour flight little sister?" asked Trisha. "Oh, you don't wanna know! There's this annoying guy who sat next to me. He was basically a clown. He was trying to be funny. I couldn't sleep because of him!" said Cher angrily. "Why are you mean to him? That was cute though! So, is he your type or what?" asked Trisha. Cher narrated what happened from JFK to the airplane. "He was showing me these memes on his phone the whole flight. He was so annoying. When he fell asleep, I took a photo of him and threatened him that I'll post it online. Then he stopped." Cher grabs her phone and shows the picture to Trisha. "Cher! That's Kyle Murray! He's one of the hottest actors here in Manila!" Trisha laughed as she tells Cher who was on the picture.
