dusk beneath the city lights | Buenvenidez Series #4 [COMPLETED]

29

When December approached, Caly and I began to get occupied by a lot of things mainly about work since it's the season and he have both locals and international flights. Tapos ako, I decided to work with Faith for the mean time since I didn't accepted any project runways for the month.

Actually, para rin kaming nasa long-distance relationship ni Caly kahit nasa Pilipinas naman ako. It's really hard for the both of us to demand time from each other so we always try to understand the situation better and make time whenever we can.

And since holiday is the only free time we have, he decided to come with me on Legazpi for a vacation. Hindi pa nga ako pumayag noong una pero mapilit siya kaya wala na akong nagawa.

"Cai was asking non-stop kung bakit raw ba hindi ako makakaattend ng Christmas Party namin bukas.." Sabi niya habang nag-aayos ng gamit niya. I sat on the sofa and watched him do it in a very neat way. Sanay na sanay siya.

"Anong sinabi mo?" Tanong ko.

"Private flight and the client requested me to be the pilot." He chuckled.

Natawa ako sa excuses niya. Hanggang ngayon, hindi parin alam nina Caius at Faith. Sien is the only person who knows about us besides our parents. At sinabi rin ni Caly na icocover up siya ni Sien para sa mga pinsan niya. She do it all the time since Caius won't shut his mouth.

"Kumpleto ba sila bukas?" I asked.

He nodded. "Faith and Lili will be there," He said and looked at me.

"Right. Sabagay, close naman si Lili sa mga pinsan mo diba?" Tanong ko.

Tumango siya saka lumapit sa akin. I smiled at him and he quickly gave me a hug while he's standing infront of me. Natawa pa ako nang mapaiktad siya dahil may nadali yata ako.

He frowned so I looked up at him. Nakanguso na siya kaya mas lalo akong natawa.

"Hindi ko sinasadya, ha!" I defended myself.

He laughed and withdrew from the hug to continue prepping up his thing. Tinulungan ko na siya sa toiletries niya pati sa ibang gamit niya para makaalis na kaagad kami.

Gabi na kami nakarating sa airport. Tama lang sa flight namin pa Bicol. Sakto pa na si Noah ang pilot noon kaya nagkita pa kami sa airport. He even invited Caly to be his co-pilot kaso ayaw naman ni Caly. Wala raw kasi akong kasama kung mag co co-pilot siya.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. This is Captain Celeste speaking. First, I'd like to welcome you on board. Our flight time today will be 20:00 and our estimated time of arrival in Legazpi City is 21:30 local time. The weather is good and the temperature is 29 degrees censius. The cabin crew will be coming around in about twenty minutes time to offer you a light snack and beverage, and the inflight movie will begin shortly after that. I would also like to greet our pilot on board, Captain Fontana, may you have a very pleasant evening. And on behalf of all our crew, we are delighted to have you all on board during Christmas. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you for choosing Asia Airlines as your airline this holiday."

I pursed my lips when I heard his name on Noah's greeting. I never thought na pwede pala 'yon! He sounds like he's pissing Caly off and it's effective!

"Naiimagine ko mukha ni Noah ngayon na sinasapak ko. Masama na ba ako no'n?" Caly murmured beside me as we heard Noah's greetings.

I laughed and pinched his arm.

"Wala namang ginagawang masama sa'yo 'yung tao!" I exclaimed.

"He's mocking me! He knew how much I despise getting a greeting on public announcements like that!" He blurted out, looking cutely annoyed.
