Who could have thought that I'll be flying to Mazaro with Bria and her Dad. Nakatingin pa sa akin si Tito Jamie. Like my dad, he's on his fifties, while Bria and me are at the same age, twenty four. I've managed to finished my Business Management Course, and unlike Bria she managed to finished hers with flying colours.
.

"Does your Dad knows that you're coming with us, Sunny?" baritonong boses ni Tito Jamie.

"Opo," sabay lunok ko.
.

Well, I didn't asked them personally, but I believe my message to them is an indication that I'm running away, far away...
.

"Dad, she'll be with me. Don't worry," ngiti ni Bria sa Ama niya.
.

Her dad nodded and continued reading his newspaper on his hand. Nanlaki pa ang mga mata ko ng mabasa ang front page sa newspaper na hawak niya. Siniko agad ako ni Bria, kaya nabaling ang tingin ko sa kanya. Like me, her eyes darted on the newspaper front page too.
.

The Integrate of the Del Santa Maria and Monteverde will be announce.
.

I swallowed hard while Tito Jamie stared at me. He then smile and shook his head. Mukhang alam niya kung ano ang nangyayari ngayon.
.

"You are running away, don't you?"
.

My jaw dropped while staring at him. Nakaupo siya sa harap namin ni Bria. This private jet plane in which in they own caters a very luxurious settings. Dalawang piloto at apat na stewardess. I believe we have to stop over somewhere in Hongkong or Japan before flying straight to Italy.
.

"Dad--"

"I'm not talking to you, Bria. At this very moment you are on my plane, Sunny. And I believe you are my responsibility. Ngayon bago paman magiging malala ang sitwasyon sabihin mo na ang totoo. In that way I can help you, and I can talk to your father nicely," ngiti ni Tito.

"P-Po..."
.

I bowed down my head and lifted again. I sighed deeply before uttering any words. It doesn't make sense if I'll tell a lie, may as well tell him the whole truth.
.

"Yes, I ran away, Tito," titig ko sa kanya.
.

Umayos siya sa pagkakaupo at nilapag ang newspaper sa katabing bakanteng upuan niya.
.

"I don't to want to get married to Timothy. I don't love him, and besides from that listen to this, Tito." Sabay kuha ko sa cellphone. Binigay ko sa kanya at pinakita ang video na na-e-record ko.

"I love my parents, Tito. So much... I know I wasn't a good daughter because I've made a lot of scandals in public. But believe me, Tito. I'm innocent."

"I second the motion, Dad!" singit ni Bria.
.

He cleared his throat while watching it and we went quiet. He then return the phone back at me and drink his cup of coffee. Kinabahan na ako. If worse comes to worse, maiiwan ako sa Hongkong at baka ibabalik ako ng Pinas! But they heck! I don't want that. And if ever, I will definitely hide somewhere in Hongkong for the time being.
.

"I'll talk to your, Dad. Just don't do anything stupid while you are under my care."

Gumihit ang ngiti sa labi ko at napahawak ako nang kamay kay Bria.

"Salamat po, Tito. The best ka talaga."

"The best naman talaga si Daddy!" ngiti ni Bria sa Daddy niya.
