『私たちは...異常に穏やかです。』

A series of loud screams and cries. Things are flying everywhere. The people around us started hitting their body parts in the most awful places. We are in a closed space, but even I can tell how fast we were falling from above.

"BRACE FOR IMPACT," The pilot spoke, although it was covered with another long series of screams that could tear your ears off. "I REPEAT. BRACE FOR IMPACT."

"Are you okay?" I asked my wife, who was silently praying and crying beside me. I placed my feet flat on the floor, fixing the oxygen mask as I bend forward with my chest on your thighs. I wrapped my right hand around my legs as I hold her hand with my left.

"Tadashi... Tadashi..." Her golden locks aren't tied like usual and it's just falling gorgeously beside her nervous yet pretty face. Her eyes are closed shut, as she drew my hand closer to her lips to kiss it. "I'm scared."

To be honest, I am so scared. I wanted to spend more time with her. I wanted to be alive as long as I can to sleep beside her every night. I wanted to grow old with her and watch our children marry wonderful people. I'm afraid... that we'll be both gone.

But Hitoka needs me.

Right now, whether I'm scared or not, it doesn't matter. I wanted to make her feel that she chose the right man and I can protect her- even if my hands are trembling more than hers.

"I'm here," I whispered to her ear, pulling her closer to me. "I won't go anywhere."

"BRACE FOR IMPACT. I REPEAT, BRACE FOR IMPACT."

I pulled her head to put it below my chest, allowing it to rest on my lap. I covered my head and neck as I lean down to bury my face in her candy-scented hair. Both of us flinched when we heard a thunderous scream and when I looked up, I felt my hands becoming colder.

I just saw a person's head being cut off my a food tray, beside us.

Hitoka tried to look as well, but I pushed her head down to my lap, before covering my nape. "No, don't look."

It seems like she understood why, since I feel my pants getting wetter by her tears. "Tadashi..."

"I'm here," I answered to her muffled cries. "Just close your eyes, okay? Let's wait for it, I promise we'll survive."

"I love you," She wailed, her head slightly moving to the side to look at me. "So much."

"Why are you telling me that here?" I tried my hardest to chuckle but all my throat could do right now is gulp and silently pray that no dangerous things would land on my nape. "I love you too, sweet."

Every time we hear a screeching noise, her tiny hands are trembling more shakily than before, clutching tight on my sweater. The rattling noises of the food trays and people flying back and forth- the women are screaming, the children are crying, the men are yelling, and the elderly are praying as they clutch tightly to the seat in front of them.

"Hitoka?" I whispered, surprised that we're still alive at this point.

"Tadashi..."

A loud crash was heard from the front part of the plane, and it was slowly getting closer, as the people start screaming louder. I removed my hand on my nape and wrapped it around her, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

"When we survive this, let's have one more kid."

The last sight I remember was Hitoka's smile as she looks at me, with her large stunning brown eyes coated with tears, adorned with wet, long eyelashes. The two corners of her thin soft lips curved up, and her pearly whites are shown.
