PROLOGUE
I'M FINALLY home, I just stretch my back cause I seat and stand for an hour. Being a flight attendant is not an easy job.
"Van, you going now?" tanong ni Lei, one of the flight attendants "Yeah, I need to hurry," I said then she just nodded, I get my luggage and step out of the plane.
"I'm going now," I said to the Pilot and he just nodded at me "Go, you look in a hurry," he said and I just smiled and then continue walking. When I finally go to the airport, I just scan my luggage and hurriedly go to the airport lobby.
"Viel!" I call my cousin's name and hurriedly go to him "Still silly" he said and I just smiled at him "Don't you miss me?" I ask him but he just gets my luggage "Why would I? I just saw you earlier in the video call when you call me" he said I just rolled my eyes at him.
"You are so mean," I said, we just go to the parking lot and he just put my luggage in the compartment of his car. "How's your life?" I ask him when he go into the driver's seat "Still the same" he said and I just nodded.
He start driving and I just look at the outside "Xayrille looks so beautiful" I said when I saw Xayrille's billboard "What I can say? She's so beautiful" he said, he sounded so proud of what Xayrille now.
"Yeah," I said he stop the car in a coffee shop "Wait, I'll just fetch Elle," he said and I just nodded and go out of the car "I'm going to seat in the back seat," I said then open the back seat door.
I just seat here comfortably, I saw Viel and Xayrille going outside in the coffee shop, and I smiled while looking at them. They deserved to be in each other arms again.
I saw how Viel open the door for Xayrille, when Xayrille enter the car she looks so shocked when she saw me. "Van?!" she said then look at me and I just nodded, even though I'm in the back seat she manage to hug me.
"Your head," Viel said while guiding Xayrille's head not to touch the roof car. "You didn't tell me Van is here," Xayrille said and I just smiled at her
"Viel just fetches me in the airport earlier," I said and Xayrille just smiled at me "I missed you so much," she said and she look so excited, she talk a lot while on our way to my condo.
"You have a good choice" sabi ni Xayrille tumango naman ako, tinulungan nila ako na mag-ayos ng mga gamit ko. After namin mag-ayos ay nagpaalam na sila na aalis na.
Nung ako na lang mag-isa ay naupo na lang ako sa may couch. Binuksan ko na lang ang tv at nanonood.
"Chinese Actor Thunder Chen shared his experience about relationships, heartbreaks, and so on"
He's doing well now huh? Well, good for him.
The next day is still my rest day, wala naman akong ibang gagawin dito sa condo ko kaya lumabas ako para libangin ang sarili ko.
Nagpunta ako sa may cafe sa baba ng condominium, um-order lang ako ng breakfast ko at naghanap ng upuan.
"Ang ganda ng interview ni Chen kahapon about sa relationship" rinig kong sabi ng isang babae malapit sa pwesto ko. "Kaya nga, halata talagang grabe yung naging heartbreak niya" sabi nung kasama niya napa-irap naman ako sa hangin.
Dumating din naman ang order ko "Kaya nga, sino kaya yung girl noh? She hurt Chen that much" sabi ulit nung unang girl, then I remember something that needs to forget.
Really? How cruel is the industry?
Industry shows and published wrong details about the actor, and their life. They keep it hidden and private cause it may affect their picture in the industry.
Nagpunta na lang ako sa may hospital kung nasan nag ta-trabaho ang mga kaibigan nila Xayrille na naging kaibigan ko na din.
"Vanessa!" excited na salubong sakin ni Zha ng puntahan ko siya sa hospital kung nasan siya. "Wala kang work?" tanong ko umiling naman siya at ginaya ako sa may office niya.
"Wala pa naman, anyway, si Kenchie ay nasa OR, si Fin naman ay busy" sabi niya tumango naman ako. "Kailan ka pa naka-uwi?" tanong niya naupo naman ako sa may upuan sa may harap ng table niya.
"Kahapon lang, sa may condo ko na ako nag-stay, Viel and Xayrille help me" sabi ko tumango naman siya, bigla namang bumukas ang pintuan ng office ni Zha.
"Tita Sha!" sabi ng bata at agad na sinalubong si Zha ng yakap "You are with Mommy and Daddy?" tanong ni Zha sa bata na tango naman ang sagot.
"Nang Van" sabi niya at lumapit naman saken, niyakap ko naman siya "Your so cute" sabi ko at pinang-gigilan siya. "Hihi" yun lang ang sinabi niya. Inupo ko naman siya sa may lap ko.
"May pupuntahan ka pa ba?" tanong ni Zha umiling naman ako "Wala ah, dinalaw ko lang kayo" sabi ko nilalaro naman ni Xayrus ang buhok ko. "Xayrus baby, tour your Ninang Vanessa" sabi ni Zha
Umalis naman si Xayrus sa lap ko. "Let's go Nang," he said then pulled me. Nagpaalam na lang kami kay Zha at lumabas na ng office niya.
"Hindi po kita nakita ng birthday ko po" sabi ni Xayrus napangiti naman ako, at the age of three he knows how to speak straight. "I have work," I said he looked at me I can see amusement in his eyes.
"Airplane po? Like the one who is talking on the plane?" tanong niya natawa naman ako "No baby, yung trabaho ko ay yung nag serve sa mga tao na nasa plane" sabi ko dahil ang akala niya ay ako ang pilot ng plane.
"Oh, I get it na po Nang" sabi niya kaya tinap ko na lang ang ulo niya bago kami nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. "Where's your Mom and Dad?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Tita Fin" sagot niya kaya nagpunta na kami sa office ni Fin. Kumatok na muna ako bago binuksan yun, "Ahm where's the Doctor?" tanong ko dahil ang nurse lang ang nandito
"Nasa may taping part po siya, doon po sa may malapit sa may emergency exit" sabi ng Nurse tumango na lang ako at nagpaalam na sa may nurse.
Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Xayrus at pumunta na kami sa may sinasabi ng nurse. "Mommy!" tawag ni Xayrus at tumakbo palapit sa magulang niya. "Inabala mo pa si Ninang Van mo" sabi ni Xaylaine sa Anak
"Okay, lang" sabi ko at nginitian sila, "Tita Van" tawag saken ni Xayvier, ang kambal ni Xayrus. Xayrus and Xavier are twins of Xaylaine and Evance their first child.
"Kahapon ka lang nakauwi diba?" tanong ni Xay saken tumango naman ako "Oo, pero dumalaw kase ako kay Zha" sabi ko tumango naman siya, tinignan ko naman ang pinapanood nila.
"Kein's Movie" sabi ni Xay kaya tumango na lang ako. "Balita ko last movie?" tanong ko tumango naman si Xaylaine "Yep, I heard they planned to go to Tagaytay and stay for a week, you know quality time" sabi ni Xaylaine na tinanguan ko naman.
"Mommy! Nang Rille!" sabi ni Xayrus at hinihila ang damit ni Xaylaine, tinuturo nito ang pwesto ni Xayrille ngayon. "Xayrus, Mommy is talking to Ninang Van. That's bad" pangaral ni Evance sa Anak, nalungkot naman ang itsura ni Xayrus.
"Sorry Mommy, sorry Nang Van" sabi ni Xayrus, I smiled at the cute Xayrus. "Come with Daddy, I'll take you two to Ninang Xayrille" sabi ni Evance kaya sumaya na ulit si Xayrus.
Nagpaalam naman ang kambal sakin kaya tumango lang ako sa kanila, Evance kissed his wife's forehead "I'm taking the kids to Xayrille's place Love, call me if you need something okay? I love you" Evance said and Xaylaine nodded.
"Okay Love, likewise" sabi ni Xaylaine, pinagmasdan naman niya na umalis ang mag ama niya, "Between you and Evance, I notice he's more the bad cop when it comes to discipline," I said and Xaylaine nooded, "Yes, he is I don't know but I can't stay mad at my son's, we are actually" sabi niya.
"Seeing you two being like that, Xayrus and Xayvier will grow up good men" sabi ko tumango naman si Xaylaine. They are a good image of good parents, and I am happy for them. Nagkwentuhan lang kami ni Xaylaine tungkol sa ibang bagay, kamustahan lang ganun.
"Mag-cr lang ako" sabi ko tumango naman si Xaylaine, umalis na ako doon at nagpunta sa may restroom.
Paliko na sana ako ng sakto namang lumabas ang isang tao sa may restroom ng mga boys. "Ellianna?" tawag niya saken pero di ko siya pinansin.
Akmang papasok na ako sa loob ng restroom ng pigilan niya ako "What?" I said, there's a hint of pain in his eyes. "You'll just ignore me huh?!" he said frustrated but I won't give a damn.
"Let go of me" I said and he do what I said, iniwan ko siya doon at pumasok sa may loob ng restroom. I face the mirror, and saw a tear escape from my eyes.
He's Thunder Kyle Chen, the man I want to forget, but my heart says otherwise, he's my ex-boyfriend.
All the things we value are in the past and it's all like before. We are not like before, and we need to accept that fact. We need to move forward and go to the after consequences.
I just can't risk someone's life, I maybe left him behind before, but it's for the better after all, he's doing his best now. I need to face everything after everything that happened.
All the memories and things we share together are, just like before
