Captain Timothy’s gaze turned to the woman who was the last one to enter the plane.
“Marian…” her name echoed softly in his mind.
He couldn’t believe it. He had let himself get hooked on this woman.
Hindi siya ang tipong lalaking makikipagsiping kanino man. But when he met her at the bar last night, he lost his mind.
“Captain, I think everyone is already here. You can start now,” the lead stewardess informed him.
He blinked. Inayos niya ang sarili, then cleared his throat.
“Alright,” sabi niya, pilit ibinabalik ang pagiging propesyonal.
“Good day, everyone.”
He took a brief look around the cabin, and once more, his gaze found hers before he continued.
“Our destination for today is Doha. Flight time will be approximately nine hours, depende sa weather.”
Huminga siya nang bahagya.
“May possibly light turbulence tayo midway through the flight, so please make sure the cabin is secured early and stay seated whenever possible kapag naka-on ang seatbelt sign.”
Saglit siyang tumango sa lead stewardess.
“May ilang special passengers on board. If there are any medical, safety, or security concerns, please inform the cockpit immediately.”
Sandaling katahimikan bago niya tapusin.
“That’s all. Thank you.”
Then his gaze shifted to the woman, who quickly looked away.
A small smile curved on his lips before he turned around and headed back to the cockpit. Habang naglalakad siya pabalik, hindi niya napigilang alalahanin kung paano sila nag-hook up kagabi sa bar.
Kumunot ang noo ni Timothy nang maabutan niya ang kanyang kaibigan na si Heckson nakasubsub sa may counter ng bar.
"What happened? Bakit ganiyan mukha mo? Para kang iniwanan," he said when their eyes met.
Tinawagan kasi siya ng kaibigan niya na sumunod rito sa bar, kung saan ito. Ayaw niya sana pero mapilit ang lalaki.
"I'm getting married, pre," biglang sabi nito sa kanya kaya't napatitig siya rito.
"Oh? What's wrong with that? Matagal na naman na kayo ng girlfriend mo, maybe it's time to settle down," giit niya. Although he doesn't like marriage, it doesn't mean he will impose his beliefs on others.
"Walang problema kung sa girlfriend ko, pero hindi 'e," sagot ni Heckson at uminom muli.
Akmang magsasalita sana siya nang nagsidatingan ang iba pa nilang kaibigan, sina Tyeron at Maximo.
"Ang oa mo magtext, Heckson, akala ko na pano ka na," hinihingal na sabi ni Tyeron maging si Maximo ay ganun rin.
"Right, I was in the middle of playing with my twin, while their mom was talking with the girls, it turned out, it wasn't an emergency," Nakasimangot na sabi naman ni Maximo.
"This is an emergency, guys, I don't want to get married, especially with Anna. I don't love her," giit ng kaibigan nila at hinampas-himapas pa ang table.
"Come on, Anna is not bad. You will probably like her, just give it a shot," giit naman ni Tyeron at umupo tabi ni Heckson.
While, he just shrugged his shoulder kasi wala naman siya masyadong ipapayo rito. Dahil baka tuluyan na nga nito huwag ituloy ang kasal gayong hindi naman siya sa pabor sa bagay na iyon.
Then, a small woman suddenly appeared on the dance floor, she swayed her body as if she owned the floor.
"Interesting," bulong niya nang makitang lumayo ito sa mga lalaking lumalapit rito at sumayaw ng sumayaw na para bang may sarili itong mundo.
Nakita niya na lamang ang sariling inaagaw na ang alak na iinumin ni Heckson habang pinanood ang galaw ng babae.
"Where she going?" biglang bulalas niya nang makitang nawala ang babae sa dance floor.
"We will take this man home, how about you, Tim? Are you staying here?" biglang sabi ni Maximo sa kanya.
Napatango na lamang siya dahil ang utak niya ay nasa babae na. He wants to find her, but he couldn't possibly just leave his friends.
"Alright, we get going then, at baka ma-outside of the kumlambo pa ako kapag nagtagal ako rito at malaman ng asawa ko," natatawang sabi ni Maximo.
"Same here, Lhalhaine doesn't know l was going here, kaya't mas maigi kung uuwi na ako bago pa malaman ng asawa kong wala na ako sa bahay," natatawang sang-ayon ni Tyeron habang inalalayan na ng dalawa si Heckson nakapikit at panay salita na hindi naman naiintindihan.
Tumango-tango lang siya at tinapik ang mga balikat nito. Tapos ay sinundan niya ng tingin ang mga ito hanggang sa maglaho na sa kanyang mga mata.
Tumingala siya at pumikit ng mariin. "This is one of the reasons why I don't like being married, a lot of restrictions...and I won't let a woman ruin my life ever again. Maybe l can play with them but, l will never give my whole trust and heart ever again..." he murmured, tapos ay umayos siya, umangat ang kanyang kilay nang makita muli ang babaeng kinaaliwan niya kanina.
"A lot of stamina, I see," he whispered as he watched her dance like a pro.
Then, when she walks off the dance floor, he just sees himself following her like a stalker.
"Damn! What the f**k are you doing, Timothy?" kastigo niya sa sarili nang makarating siya malapit sa lady's room kung pumasok ang babae.
"You shouldn't doing this," dagdag pa niya at hinalamos ang kanyang palad sa kanyang mukha.
Nais niyang umalis sa puwesto niya kaso parang ayaw gumalaw ng kanyang mga paa hanggang sa lumabas na ang babae at may lalaking lumapit rito. He stay where he was, and watch how the woman will handle the man.
"Oh, feisty, l like that," bulong niya nang makitang tinuhod ng babae ang lalaking pumigil rito at sinandal ito sa pader. When he saw the man was about to hit the woman, he immediately punched him.
Then before he knows it, he just found himself holding the woman's tiny waist, while kissing her back.
"What a naughty girl you are. You shouldn't go to a place like this and ask men to sleep with you, what if you end up getting gang rape?" he whispered when the kiss ended, and he was holding a woman's cheeks.
Her lips were softer than he had imagined, he wanted to kiss her again, but he controlled himself. He shouldn't lose his mind to take her to this place; it doesn't suit her. She deserves be f**k in a proper place.
"If it's you will gang rape me, why not?" pilyang sagot ng babae habang kagat-kagat ang ibabang labi nito.
Umangat naman ang gilid ng labi niya. "Crazy, but don't worry l don't share my woman. I will have you all by myself, but remember this, I don't make love, I only f**k," he whispered in her ears.
"And I do it hard and rough," he added, holding the woman's chin and claiming her lips once again.
