The First Time I Saw Her… (At The Airport)

Gino

Tick… Tock… Tick… Tock… This is what his mind has been saying for the last couple of hours… He needs to get out of here… He needs to escape the pressure that’s been killing him since he came to visit this place he calls “home”… He doesn’t even know where home is anymore…  He only stays in the Philippines for short vacations… But then, his apartment in New York is hardly a home for him as well…

“Anak, I’m not getting any younger. Soon, ikaw na ang mamamahala sa lahat,”  Paulit-ulit na sinasabi ng kanyang ama bago siya umalis ng bahay kanina… But does he really need to be reminded about that?… Buong buhay niya, it’s always been about how to rule the “empire”…

He just has his carry-all bag with him and now holding his boarding pass about to head to the security checkpoint. Him, being too tall and maybe half-distracted with his thoughts, he accidentally bumps with someone… He looks down to apologize…

Gino: I’m sorry…

The person just rushes past him… Mukhang hindi nito napansin ang pagkakabunggo niya dito… Turns out she’s a petite-looking girl… Her hair’s too long and her arms are pretty slender… He wasn’t able to see her face since she has her back on him already… But whatever… Who cares?

Ibinalik niya ang attention sa security. After everything has been checked, nilagay niya ang mga gamit sa security bag screen at gray bin. Just after doing those, he glances on the front… He’s dying to get on the plane… Pero agad niyang napansin ang paglingon ng babaeng nabunggo niya kanina…

She’s ahead of him on the line... Maybe three people between them. The girl is glancing around… She seems lost… and too young… Pero agad din nabaling ang attention niya sa pagpasok sa gate. He really just wants to get out of this country.

Once inside the plane, he immediately searches for his seat number… A lovely stewardess starts assisting him… Kakaiba ang ngiti nito and he knows that kind of smile. Obviously, this stewardess likes him… For any normal guys, maybe, he’ll start getting her number or something… But he’s just not a normal guy… He’s still a f*cking virgin… No normal 20-year old guys are still virgins these days… How embarrassing…

Muli niyang tiningnan ang stewardess… Long hair, tall, meztisa… Definitely not his type… But then again, maybe that’s why he’s still a virgin… He’s just damn too picky…

“Sir, here is your seat number” the stewardess says while batting her eyelashes at him… 

He doesn't like his seat. He wants to be near the window. Why didn’t he get the first class seat, anyway? Oh yeah, he’s such in a hurry to leave… He totally forgot requesting for the special seats…

Gino: Thanks, miss…

He gives the stewardess a smile and she immediately blushes… But seriously, she really just ain’t his type…
