Cleopatra

Sumabog ang buhok sa buong mukha ko nang makarating kami sa rooftop. Pinigilan ko iyon sa lalo pang pagharang sa mukha ko. The wind is harsh up here.

Kitang kita ang masikip na lungsod dito sa taas. Nagtataasang mga gusali ang tanawin. Up here, it's like you're the queen of the city.

Sumunod lang naman ako kay Odyssey kahit clueless ako kung bakit dito kami nagtungo imbes na sa airport.

So maybe, we'll be riding a private chopper.

Odyssey's silent beside me. Kahit na nang nasa loob kami ng elevator paakyat ay ni hindi siya kumibo. And I'm not in the mood to talk so I just let the silence comfort us both.

"You gotta be kidding me!" I exclaimed in sheer awe when I saw our lift.

Napanganga ako sa gulat. What the hell! Ni hindi ko man lang alam na may ganitong helicopter ang mga Stanford!

The Airbus AS332 L1e VIP Super Puma looks extravagant and powerful as it stood in that rooftop. It's like inviting us to ride him.

I expected them to have a chopper but I didn't know it's this type! Nakakalula ang presyo ng helicopter na ito! I think it cost about 15.5 million dollar. It's one of the most expensive type in there! I thought it's a Eurocopter or any kind pero..

Napailing ako sa reyalisasyon.

Manghang lumapit ako dahil sa nakatitig sa akin si Odyssey at tila naghihintay sa akin.

He looks like a prince charming waiting for me to ride his luxurious chopper. His hair is being messed just like mine. Nais kong mainggit sa hangin dahil nahahaplos niya ang kakisigan ni Odyssey na parang wala lang.

"Welcome to your ride!" A man welcomed us.

He have this incredible British accent.
Nakakahalina iyong pakinggan.

He's not wearing a pilot's uniform and only in his casual look. He looks foreign and handsome with a killer smile. Blonde and curly ang buhok niya at malaki ang built ng katawan. Matangkad at matikas din siya. He's almost like those Hollywood movie actors when it comes to sex appeal.

"Is this yours? The company's?" Mangha pa ring tanong ko sa kanya.

"This is his own, Miss!" Sabat ng lalaki.

Muli akong napanganga. Is he that rich? I should have researched about his SALN! Ba't nga ba hindi ko iyon ginawa? Bilyones ba ang pera ng lalaking ito?

"Pero mayroon din na pag-aari ng kompanya." Sabay kindat ng lalaki.

"I apologized for such a short notice." Tipid na saad ni Odyssey na ngayo'y kausap ang lalaki. "The pilot was late to inform us that he won't make it."

"No problem, man. Seine's your cousin so it's not a big deal." The man shrugged.

Seine? So kaibigan ito ni Senechov? It's been a long time since I saw that naughty man. But he's been in the pages of different magazine with different socialites so his life is not really private.

I once told him that I already predicted him to be a casanova when he grew up and he only laughed at me. Totoo naman kasi, bata pa lang siya, nakitaan ko na ng potensyal na maging playboy.

Sana lang ay hindi mahirapan si Chryss sa gagawin niya. Lalo na't si Seine ang kanyang amo. I hope she won't be charmed easily. It'll be a huge problem if that happens. Lalo na't napakaganda rin ng kaibigan kong iyon.
