Chapter Five

"We have now arrived in Cebu-Mactan International Airport, thank you for flying with us. We have now arrived..."

Kaagad tumayo si Cheska mula sa pagkakaupo niya seat niya sa eroplano nang dumating na ito sa Cebu. Kukunin pa niya ang mga bagaheng chineck-in niya pagkarating niya sa loob ng airport.

She's really in the bad mood. Naiinis siya. Naiinis siya kay Jack. Bakit nito ipinakita sa lola't lolo nito ang marriage contract? They're doomed!

'Nung tinawagan siya nito bigla sa France, sabi nito, kailangan niyang umuwi ng Pilipinas as soon as possible, kung pwede nga raw ay next week. His grandparents were dotting him about the marriage. The man didn't even deny o told them na fake lang yung document kaya mas lalo pa siyang naiinis pa rito.

Bakit ba kasi hindi nito tinago ng maayos ang contract? Ayaw pa niyang magkaroon ng kumplikasyon sa oras na malaman ng lahat na kasal sila, that just can't be right. Ayaw niyang may maloko na naman silang mga tao tapos mas may chance na makukulong pa sila.

The things are getting too complicated. It's Jack's fault.

Mamaya, kakausapin niya ito, bahala na kung kailangan niyang magtrashtalk. Talagang naiinis na siya sa lalake. Bakit ba kasi siya napaniwala na nagbago at nagmature na nga ito? Buong akala niya, after those incidences in Italy and Las Vegas, magbabago ang isip niya tungkol kay Jack—that he wasn't that bad after all pero ngayon yata napapaisip siya na hindi pa rin ito nagbabago—that he was still the jerk she knew when she was still a teenager.

Dumating na rin si Cheska kung saan makukuha niya ang mga bagahang nacheck-in niya.

This is trouble.

When Cheska was finished getting her baggage, may napansin naman siyang dalawang matandang mag-asawa na may dalang poster kung saan nakasulat ang 'ASENJO FAMILY WITH LOLA ROSE AND LOLO POTS ' and what made her close her eyes from embarrassment was Jack—who was also holding a cardboard which the word 'MY PIGGYPIE' was written on it. At nang makita pa lang niya ang pagmumukha ni Jack na nakangiti pa sa kanya, gustong-gusto niya itong sakalin. Nakakahiya ang ginagawa nito sa airport. Her face was getting red because of it. Lagot sa kin mamaya ang lalakeng ito.

Nang makalapit na siya sa kanila, the old couple happily hugged her. Mukhang masaya ito sa pagdating niya.

"Sa wakas, nakita ko na rin sa personal ang apo-in-law ko," Aniya ng matandang babae matapos siyang niyakap nito—na tantiya niya, ang lola ni Jack, "You're so beautiful, Cheska." Puri sa kanya ng matanda.

Cheska just smiled shyly, "Uhm, thank you po."

"Ako pala si Lola Rosie, but you can call me Lola Rose gaya ng mga apo ko," The old woman introduced herself. Good mood na good mood ito, "And this is my husband, Peter, you can him Lolo Pots." Lola Rose then gestured her husband who also smiled at her. Mukhang mababait ang mga ito as the nicknames were also cute.

"Sige, tara na, gabing-gabi pa naman." Sabi naman ng matandang lalake na si Lolo Pots sa kanila. Naunang tumalikod at naglakad papalabas ng airport ang dalawang matanda habang naiwan naman silang dalawa ni Jack. Yes, it was already very late evening. Malapit na kasing mag-eeleven pm siya dumating sa Cebu, galing pa kasi siya sa France and the flight was connecting at medyo jetlagged pa naman siya. Dumirecho na  siya sa Cebu at hindi siya dumaan sa bahay mismo ng mga magulang niya. Of course, wala itong alam na nagpakasal siya kay Jack and she doesn't want to know na malalaman ng mga ito—knowing her past-relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Gino. Her parents would know that her marriage with Jack is just a lie.
