Lavatory

"Tigas talaga ng bungo mo, e, 'no? Huwag ka ng magpakasal sa'kin kung hindi ka rin naman nakikinig."

Malakas akong tumawa sa sermon ni Lucas. "Mio caro..." It means my dear. I giggled when he groaned in the sweet voice I made. "Last na 'to. Promise! I just wanna experience my on-hold last flight as a VIP attendant! I badly dreamed this..."

He sarcastically scoffed. I am really getting into his temper. "Unfair ka! Don't bring that excuse on me! At huwag mo akong madalidali, ah. You countlessly already spent an exertion inside a private plane! Too many times, cara. Too many times. Uncountable," he emphasized.

I stomped on my feet and check again my itchy eyes in the mirror because of my thick lashes. "But I already have my makeup on! Naka-uniform na ako..."

"And you are totally annoying! Sana hindi ka na lang nagpaalam kung ikaw din naman ang masusunod!"

I sighed. "How's it going there?"

He made a sound. "You're changing the topic."

I damped my polished hair with one last mist from the sprayer. "Did you dark your skin more?" I playfully said. "Are you using the sunscreen I shipped you?"

"Seriously? Dieci? Ten boxes?" Minding every box, four containers are packed.

I laughed. "Mura here, e! Nahihinayangan lang ako kung hindi ko dadamihan. And what are you mobbing about? Hello! We're going to share, alright? Don't be such..."

"Ikaw ang kill joy sa ating dalawa!" He immediately defended himself.

"If that is what makes you happy and sleep at night. Okay," I chuckled. Who's kill joy now?

I fixed the place of air pods in my right bud before getting my properly hung coat out of the closet. "Seriously, kumusta?"

Lucas came home last month all the way from here in Italy to check on the position his father is pleading him to take in their oil refinery branch sa Philippines.

He sighed. "Saka na tayo magkuwentuhan once nakauwi ka na the next day."

Nanlaki ang mata ko. Mamayang gabi sana ang flight ko pabalik sa Pinas with Lucas' private plane and trusted pilot, kung hindi lang sa VIP that I did accept to serve a private flight today. "Are you saying yes?!"

"Bakit? May magagawa ba ako?"

"Hell, yes!" I couldn't even let him finish because of my excitement!

"Magtatampo ka lang 'di ba? Tapos hindi mo ako papansinin hanggang sa makonsensiya ako kahit hindi ko naman gusto. May magagawa ba ako? Sana nga mayroon."

"Sarcastic mo! I won't be at peace, sige ka! Gusto ko lang lumipad na magaan ang pakiramdamam natin sa isa't isa. Bawal ba?"
