When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
“Flight Attendants, prepare for landing, please,” I announced. I stared at the firm runway where we are going to land. Inayos ko ang aking salamin at naghandang mabuti. Mahigit isang linggo rin akong hindi nakauwi. Our overseas flight required us to stay there dahil na rin sa sunod-sunod na flights. I missed home already. Miss na miss ko na rin si Damien. Noong ibinaba ng kasama kong piloto ang landing gear ay ngumiti na ako dahil sa pagka sabik. I gave my full attention to give this flight a smooth landing. Bahagyang sumulyap sa ‘kin si Lionel, but I didn't look back. He should concentrate. Alam niyang hindi ko palalampasin ang pagkakaroon ng magandang landing. But I know that he's also good at this. When we touched down, I smiled a bit as we continued and reduced our speed. Nang makatigil kami ay saka ko naramdaman ang galak sa naging lipad. It was tiring. Nakakangalay at minsan ay nakakairita pero kahit ganoo

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
Damien was my boyfriend for six years, but I realized that it doesn't depend on how long your relationship was. If the other half cheated once, that person would surely do it again. How ridiculous.“Jeanne, sino ‘yon?” nakangiting tanong ko habang itinuturo ang lalaking nakikipagtawanan at tumutugtog ng gitara.He was smiling from afar while talking to his friends, and he looks so friendly.“Alin?” tanong ni Jeanne.“Iyong tumutugtog ng gitara?”“Ah, si Damien. Hindi naman marunong 'yan, hawak lang ‘yong gitara. Gusto lang magpa-pogi,” aniya.Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan iyong Damien na nakikipag kulitan. Totoong hindi nga siya marunong maggitara at puro strum lang.I giggled when I realized that he looks cute and friendly. “Anong buong pangalan?”“Hindi ko

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
“Sino ang kasama mo, kung ganoon?” inis na tanong ko. Natigilan siya bago tumingin sa akin nang maayos. Damien looks so innocent that it breaks my heart whenever I remember that he cheated on me. “She's Architect Tanya Renales. Inihatid ko lang sa bahay nila dahil lasing na lasing,” aniya. I just nodded and acted as if I believe him. Hatid lang ba talaga, Damien? “Walang nangyari sa inyo?” “Wala, Sandra! Maniwala ka sa akin.” I nodded at his lies. I am sure that he just did it with her, or with someone else. Dahil sa pag-uusap namin sa telepono kahapon, alam ko ang ginagawa niya! “I believe you,” I lied. He hugged me tight. Gumanti rin ako ng yakap sa kaniya. Mas mahigpit na para bang pakakawalan ko na siya. “Sandra? Pwede ba akong manligaw?” tanong ni Damien. “M-Manligaw? Sa akin?” tanong ko. Bahagya siyang tumawa at saka tumango. “Kung papayag ka?”Read more

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
“Fuck you, Damien! Fuck you! Ang makita kitang nambababae nang paulit ulit ay kinakaya ko pa! Pero ang makita kitang kasama ang kapatid ko? Sa tingin mo ba talaga ay papakasalan pa kita?” “Love, makinig ka muna sa akin. I'll explain. I can explain.” “You can explain? That's bullshit! Anong rason mo? Anong rason mo ang tatanggapin ko?!” sigaw ko sa kaniya. “Ate, I'm sorry, please.” Lumapit na rin sa akin si Aubree. It hurts seeing her cry in front of me. I hate her for being like this! I hate her for trying to do this! “Bakit ganito, Aubree? Anong pagkukulang namin sa pagpapalaki sa ‘yo para maging ganito ka?” “Ate, I love him! I love Damien, Ate.” Tumulo ang luha ko sa sinabi niyang iyon. Nagagalit ako dahil nagiging ganito siya. Nagagalit ako dahil sinisira niya ang reputasyon at pagkatao niya at hindi dahil mahal niya si Damien. Nagagalit ako kasi hindi puwedeng ganito si Aubree! Kay Damien man o sa ibang magkarelasyon,

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
“Call me when you need anything,” sambit ni Jeanne nang makarating kami sa apartment niya.. I nodded and went inside of the guest room. Nahiga ako sa kama at muling nakatulugan ang pag-iyak When I woke up the next day, sobrang hapdi ng mata ko. Hindi ako makabangon sa bigat ng pakiramdam. Akala ko noong una, maayos na. Pero nang maalala ko ulit ay tumulo na naman ang luha ko. Kinatok ako ni Jeanne. “Sandra, magtatrabaho lang muna ako. Ayos ka lang ba rito?” she asked. I smiled at her and nodded. “Magbreakfast ka na. May pagkain sa lamesa.” “Salamat, Jeanne. Uuwi din ako ngayon,” sabi ko. Tumango naman siya. Later on, she left while I ate breakfast. Bagsak pa rin ang balikat ko at pinag-iisipan kung uuwi na ba ako. Mayamaya ay nakita kong tumatawag sa ‘kin si Vincent, the CEO of my airline, kaya kahit gaano kasama ang mood ko ay kailangan kong sagutin iyon. “Hello, Sir, good morning.” I tried to sound happy

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
I was sleeping comfortably when I felt someone move beside me. Naalimpungatan ako lalo na noong naramdaman kong may humawak ng aking balakang. I slowly opened my eyes and nearly had a heart attack. “Oh shit,” mahinang sambit ko. My head hurts from last night, and I can't remember what happened! Sino ito? Sino siya? Bakit ako nandito? I looked under the sheets and was shocked when I saw that I'm naked, and I'm fucking sore! What the hell happened? Bwisit, Sandra! Napakatanga mo! Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang kaniyang kamay mula sa pagkakayakap niya sa ‘kin. I stared at him and tried my best to visualize if I met him before. Pero hindi ko talaga maalala. Inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa kaniya para matingnan siyang mabuti. But when he moved, I immediately went off the bed and hid. I am one shy bitch who just got wild last night, but can't face a man! Anong tawag doon? Malanding medyo mahiyain? Damn it, I should get ou

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
Naglakad ako papunta sa may malapit na desk ng nurse. We're actually in a Charity event as I realized it. This is a company with an event on its ground.“May I help you, ma'am?” tanong ng nurse.“Paki-check naman po blood pressure ko,” pakiusap ko sa kanila. Their eyes widened, but they nodded and followed what I said.Bumuntonghininga ako at naupo sa harap habang kinakabit nila ang apparatus sa akin. I don't actually really know. Pakiramdam ko ay nanlalambot ako.Tumaas yata ang dugo ko, o nawalan ako ng dugo dahil sa kahihiyan. I also bought a cold bottle of water just to put in my hickey.“Miss, anong meron dito?” tanong ko sa kaniya.“Charity event po ni President Costales para sa mga bata ng Kalibo. Kayo po ‘yong piloto, ‘di po ba?” she asked.I smiled and nodded at her. I looked around the huge company and saw the name ‘Costales Shipbuilding Corporation.&rsq

Naitulak ko siya palayo kaya tumawa naman siya. How did I even forget that he's like this!Mukha nga lang pala siyang mabait pero hindi!“You don't know what happened, so shut up. Aalis na ako. There are a lot of hotels out there. Hindi ako matutulog dito,” I told him.Hinila ko ang aking maleta papalayo roon subalit nagsalita siya bigla.“All the hotels are fully booked, Sandra.” Kumunot ang aking noo at nilingon ko siya.“What? It's not even holiday!” singhal ko sa kaniya.“But I told them to say that they are fully booked, so you can't do anything but stay here.”I glared at him and rolled my eyes. He must be fucking kidding me!“What the hell?”He smirked at me. Humalukipkip siya habang nakatingin sa akin.“You can't do anything, Sandra. You'll stay here for the month.” Hinila niya ang aking maleta at walang kahirap-hirap na inangat iyon p

When the Skies are Gray/Captain Maria
Lumabas ako ng bahay niya kanina pagkatapos kong magbihis para maglangoy. The ocean was calming and hit differently. Kung hindi pa ako napagod ay hindi pa ako aahon para maupo sa sun lounger.“Hi, Captain!” tawag sakin ni Xyrene na naka off shoulder floral dress. I smiled at her, naupo siya sa aking tabi habang hawak ang floppy hat na suot para pigilang lumipad.“Hello,” I casually greeted her.“How is your stay at Sir River's house? Mabait ba siya sa ‘yo? Gentleman?” she asked.Nagulat ako at napatingin sa kaniya. Ano kaya ni River ang isang ito at bakit grabe kung makadikit? I’m sure, she’s more than a secretary“Uh, he's casual, and yeah, kind,” I said.“Wag kang magpapadala sa mga banat noon. I know him very well, kahit itanong mo pa kay David! He’s a womanizer,” she said.I stared at her awkwardly as I continued wiping the water from my skin.

He breathed heavily and then smirked without humor. Binitawan niya ang kamay ko bago sunod-sunod na umiling na para bang hindi siya makapaniwala sa nangyayari.“Yeah, right, what the fuck am I doing?”Tumayo ako sa couch kaya tiningala niya ako. I bit my lip and tried my best to stare at him kahit pa alam kong hindi ko naman kaya.“I'll get my things and book a hotel now. Thank you for the stay, Mr. Costales,” I casually said.He stood up in front of me, and what he replied broke my heart even if I didn't want it to.“Alright, Captain Alcantara, take your clothes and book a room. My secretary will just call you if we need you.” Pumasok siya sa kaniyang kwarto.Bumuntonghininga ako at napatungo. He may be here to comfort me or something, but what he is doing is more dangerous.Nanghihina akong pumasok sa kwartong inilaan niya para sakin. Gusto ko pa sanang maligo at magbihis pero gustong gusto ko nan
