From Runway To The Sky

"Ladies and Gentlemen, We have just landed at New York, John F. Kennedy International Airport. Skytrax Air welcomes you to New York City. The time now is 2:25 in the afternoon. On behalf of Captain Marlon Rodriguez, First Officer Paolo Rodriguez, and the rest of the team. We thank you for choosing Skytrax Airline as your airline of choice."

The senior cabin crew announced. Here I am, with my friends and also my brother. Welcome self, Welcome to New York. You are ready for being famous soon. You will be the one with the stars.

"Huy! Tara picture tayo! Ay! mali dapat english kasi nandito na tayo sa New York." pag-aaya ni Elli. Parang hindi napapagod ah. Kanina pa yan sa 3hours layover namin sa Doha ,Qatar. Sana all walang kapaguran.

"Hindi ka ba napapagod Elli? Kanina ka pa hyper ah." pagsasaway ko sakanya.

Nahirapan kaming makatakas sa mga tao dahil habng tumatagal padami na sila ng padami. Buti na lang ay hinarang  na sila ng mga guard at naka alis na kami agad.

"Ganoon ba talaga yun, Ally?" pagtatanong ni Laica kay Ally. 

"Yeah, masanay na kayo ngayon pa lang." pagsagot ni Ally sa tanong ni Laica.

Medyo nasanay na rin ako sa mga ganoon dahil dati kasa-kasama ako ng kapatid ko galing sa mga fashion shows nya. Nakarating na kami sa binigay saamin na apartment dito sa New York at tig-iisa kami kaya may mga privacy kami sa buhay. Ang plano ko lang ay magpahinga at bukas na gumala. Pero ng gumabi na, nakita ko kung paano umilaw ang buong city. Kaya umakyat ako sa rooftop ng apartment kung nasaan kami ngayon.

"I'm fucking damn free. I wish you are still here Mommy, But I know you're watching from the above." I whispered to the air. I felt relieve after I say that words. My Mom died 3 years ago because of plane crash but I felt something weird when I still remember what happened to my mom. So our dad will marry another woman. I think...
