Schedule Alarm.

I find myself feeling a sense of disappointment as I see the cause of my phone vibration. I held my phone tightly.

A sense of unexplained longing started to linger inside my chest. This feeling. I fucking hate it. Every time.

With a touch of my fingertip, the alarm then automatically turned itself off as I stood up on my chair, grabbed my coffee and started to walk out towards the cafe's main door.

My eyes still looking on my phone's screen.

Why am I even waiting for your nonsense messages?

I abruptly stumped my foot to stop forward and took away my hand with coffee as I felt a presence in front of me.

My sight was immediately directed to the face of a young woman wearing an official airline stewardess uniform who was about also to stumble in front of me.

Her purplish-black hair was messed up a bit.

I guess I wasn't the only one distracted for this day.

"Im.. Im so sorry!! Im sorry. I wasn't even looking on my way. I was in a hurry." she panicky said and pulls out her white handkerchief.

"No. its nothing. I wasn't even splashed with anything." I seriously but calmly said.

"Your reflexes are quite refined." she straightforwardly said that made me somehow curious.

I looked through her smiling face as I hold my coffee with me and began to walk seriously leaving her standing.

Matthew's Point of View

I cannot really explain the sense of grippling-like clogging inside my chest as I hold my breath after our plane finally lifted off and left Beijing.

7 years. 7 years had passed since I felt the similar experience back on Xavierheld.

Napadungaw ako sa bintana as I can see different cloud formations through the blue skies. They looked so innocent yet they can also signify things.

Just as the things will happen soon.

Pinagmasdan ko ang iilang mga stewardess as they offer variety of drinks along the narrow isle. Despite the crowded lane of passenger seats, hindiko maririnig ang boses ng mga pasahero.

Theyre all dead tired. Who wouldnt be anyways?

"Damn. Look at those babes!!"

Napalingon ako nang marinig ko ang nanabik na tinig ni Vaughn mula sa isle seat.

"Oh yeah. Di ko akalaing makakakita din naman pala ako ng 'magandang tanawin' sa napakaliit at napaksikip na lugar na ito!!"

Masaya at nanabik na tinig niya mula sa tabi habang dahan dahang tinitignan at inaabangan ang iilang mga flight attendant habang tulak tulak ang kanilang beverage trolley sa isle.

"Wag mo nalang pansinin. Ganyan talaga yan."

Mailap na boses ni Stella. Deretso lang ang kanyang tingin as if she was like staring into the thin air. As if there was something on her aura that keeps on telling me things.

She then stood up. Hindi lang naman ako nilingon. She then passed through the very narrow space patungo sa kinauupauan ni Vaughn na halos hindi na magkanda ugaga ang mga mata sa kakatingin ng mga babae sa paligid.

"Excuse me!! Dadaan ang pangit!!"

She then suddenly exclaimed unexpectedly that actually made Vaughn startle on his seat and made me holding my bursts lf laughter.
