Taste of Sky (EL Girls Series #1)

Chapter 46

"Once that you've given a chance to hold the world, it's too hard to surrender your heart to someone. Trust me, Monzanto. I've been there."

Nang sabihin niya ito sa akin ay pinili kong hindi sumagot. And he never insisted for an answer.

Lumipas ang mga araw. Today will be having the biggest meeting of UASA, the top management from different departments are all gathered.

I am expecting that Commander Jensen will just inform me about this and will not require me to attend the meeting just like what he used to, but the UASA chairman, the overall flight admiral and the UASA board of directors gave me a personal invitation.

Halos magsinghapan ang lahat ng kapwa ko mga piloto nang buklatin ko ang imbitasyon nang bigla itong ibigay sa akin ng isa sa kanang kamay ng Flight Admiral habang sabay-sabay kaming kumakain sa aming quarters.

In UASA air team ranking, masasabi ko na wala pa ako sa tuktok. Sa katunayan ay kasasalta ko pa lamang rito. I got a lower rank and I was just lucky being one of the crews for Project Mars team.

I am just a Flight Lieutenant and there are a lot of officials who got a higher position than mine. Sobrang layo ng agwat namin ni Pedro sa isa't-isa kaya hindi ako makapaniwalang kasama ako sa pang-malakihang pagpupulong.

It isn't just the USA team, it is the UASA team from all over the world. Iba't-ibang lahi na dala ang kani-kanilang kaalaman, opinyon at paniniwala sa kasalukuyang nangyayari sa mundo.

I can't help but to stare blankly at the invitation. Both of my hands are shaking, my sweats are dripping slowly from my face and I can't even move my knees from my deep bewilderment. I don't know if I'll be able to stand.

"We'll be expecting your presence, Lt. Monzanto. – Flight Admiral Shankard Washington."

"God, Behati. What did you do?"

Humahangang sabi ng mga kasamahan ko. Halos lahat sila ay nawala sa kanilang posisyon, they all stand at my back looking at the invitation.

Just like what I wanted, no one aside from the top management has the idea from what happened before. Lahat nang naranasan namin ni Pedro ay kailanman ay hindi kumalat sa aming organisasyon.

From Myanmar until to Thailand. We let others shoulder the praises, those people who helped us during the calamities. Ang simpleng pasasalamat na lamang mula sa mga totoong tinulungan namin ay sapat na sa akin, kay Pedro.

Those were one of the most genuine things that I could ever receive while flying with my profession. Hindi na ako hihiling pa nang iba.

"You are so lucky, you're part of the worldwide meeting Monzanto. You'll meet each country's greatest mind."

Nang marinig ko ito ay agad akong ginapang ng kaba. Hiniling ko lamang makasama sa isang misyon, pero sobra-sobra na ang natatanggap ko.

I am so happy, overwhelmed—I can't contain my feelings right now.

Halos maluha ako at hindi ko na maintindihan pa ang sinasabi ng mga kasamahan ko. At nang sandaling mag-angat ako ng tingin, I saw the most beautiful pair of blue eyes looking at me from afar.

He's leaning on our steel door while looking at me with smile on his face. I want to share him my another achievement.

I missed him so much.

He nodded at me and I got what he wanted. Agad akong tumayo sa aking kinauupuan na parang mabilis nawala ang pangangatal ng aking tuhod.

He turned his back at me, mabilis akong naglakad at hinabol siya. Alam kong sinadya niya ito para walang makapansin sa kanyang piloto.
