Reissha is too excited for this one. Finally, she'll be going back to where she was born and keep on dreaming about. The Philippines, where her life started and always locked. Despite staying in the US for almost 10 years till now, she's completely into life there. The cool breeze, perhaps because of the air coming from the atmosphere pushes her to embrace one's herself. A sweet smile plastered on her lips as her eyes were travelling everywhere. From the scenes around, the aeroplane staffs, and faces engrave in any passenger along. It's so relaxing and somehow sensational. One could have thought that she's a pudding head and idiot for keeping an eye on everything but it's a way of her appreciating things.
The woman behind suddenly moved, making her giggle a little. It was her housemaid—Amanda who has been her companion anywhere she goes. Her favourite among their housemaids. She serves as Reissha's mom when her mother is not around, it's probably the reason why she's so close with her. Reissha puts her head to lean on her shoulder and gently tap Yaya's head. Then Amanda became comfortable and able to continue her sleep. It's already 4 p.m. and they're going to land any moment afterwards. Reissha realized having no sleep from one so she slowly lean and directly close her eyes to sleep.
Her dream was interrupted by the loud voice surrounding the seats. Maybe it's because of the steward who speaks with the microphone inside the authorized room. She creased her eyes and yawns after. When she was about to stand, she remembers the thing she's doing, for now, carrying her Yaya in bare arms. It's getting numb but she's pretty diligent to make Amanda comfortable. And thinking it's rude for her to move inconsiderate can lead her Yaya to bump her head.
She laughs as she witnessed how peacefully sleeping her Yaya was and it's already snoring out of nowhere. Few of the passengers were looking in their direction that makes Reissha's face turn red and bit her lips for embarrassment. "Oh my, what have you done Yaya? You make me feel more like humiliating this time," she muttered.
Amanda slowly opened her eyes and do what Reissha did after she woke up. Her eyes widened as her companion took a wonderful gaze upon her. "Ma'am Sha, did something happen and turns out this way?" she's probably wondering why people around are looking at them. Reissha took a chance to whisper it on her ears and allegedly tell the whole story. Amanda immediately utter some Tagalog words as her expression while Reissha was wearing a frown out of curiosity as if it's too weird for her to hear those. Oh, by the way, her housemaid(Yaya) is a Filipino so she can react far from what others expected. Instead of murmuring about what happened, they focus on the ride and wait for the stewardess' signals to let them out.
Another moment of waiting and the stewardess announces that they were ready to take off. The excitement on Reissha's chest has been bursting out. She even forgot to think about her companion. A gloomy day ahead field with more lights that can add the happiness being felt by the lady. A lady in a scaffold red, however, became more apparent than before. Her eyes were glowing as the diamonds appear from the mere shade of darkness. She's also wearing this smile that can light you up like a lightning bulb.
"Finally, it's good to be back my beloved Philippines, "said she is the cutest tone.
She immediately grabs Amanda's hand and walks like a little girl who's cheerfully looking for a candy to eat or ice cream to taste. Amanda only shook her head as a sign that she cannot believe Reissha's reaction. Oh, it's normal, especially when you're so attached to something and at last, having a chance to take it. A great opportunity to continue lifetime experiences. But the smile on their faces fades as it seems like no one's there to approach them. No one has this idea to fetch them.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, Uhm...of course I am Yaya."
The awkward and unhappy atmosphere began to change as their views capture the van with "Reissha's comeback" printed on its entire body. There, a man in his 30's called them and carry their things with a guy behind him. "Welcome back ma'am Sha and Yaya Amanda," said he before putting their things at the back. A while ago, the guy behind him turn back without even saying anything to Reissha and her companion. So she whispers to Amanda's ear, "What's up with that guy? Isn't he one of our buttler or driver? He must be rude for not approaching us in a single word." Amanda's shoulders shrugged with a shaking of the head. Little did she know, that guy have a great sense of hearing about a centimetre away so it's not impossible for him to hear those. He looked back and slowly went in their direction.
"You know what, my most hated thing is that...thinking of me as an ordinary person. Damn, what did you say again?!" His words are not just irritated but full of emotion.
"If that's the case, well sorry. I didn't mean to think of you like that but can't you just forget about it?"
"How can I? You're dusting my reputation here. And for the information of you and your companion, I am Elijah Roberts, the son of a highest positioned businessman in this country and the most handsome craft created in the world."
"Eww, you sort of a daydreaming boy. Wake up and saw your stubborn face!"
"Huh?! You're calling this face a stubborn one? Then what can you say about you?"
They exchanged sharp gazes at each other and look like two predators whose ready to kill their prey. Elijah wants to add some mockery towards Reissha but their little fight is interrupted by the flash of cameras along with them. Too many people were looking while capturing the scenes. Their eyes were full of amusement; some smiled widely, screaming for thrills, pushing each other and there are also who collapsed, sounds cringe, right? Reiss's brow knitted, she must be thinking of their weird reactions.
"Look at him! Ahh so adorable!"
"He's more handsome nearer!"
"He has this charm who can fascinate anyone!"
That's some of the words coming from people around them. You can conclude by just looking at their face that they have these fantasies with the guy in front who's now changing their expression and smile genuinely whilst waving his hands as if he's into a reigning after the match. Reissha didn't stop her mouth to say "eww", therefore, she received a death glare from her opponent—Elijah.
He moved closer to her and whisper. "What am telling you is true. Look at their reactions after seeing me. Do you see that? Full of respect, praises and admiration. Seems like they're under my irresistible spell haha." Reissha's mood was ruined and she thought he will stop but didn't. "Oh, by the way, I regret coming with Kiko here to pick up the girl who's not worth my time. But...don't be afraid to show your true feelings, I know you currently flutter by just me looking at you," he added, heading Reissha's face to turn red with anger and irritation. Then he hopped into his car and leave them.
"You'll gonna pay for this stubborn guy!" she exclaimed.
It was the first time she's got into a fight. She's not fond of arguing about nonchalant things but that guy brought her to. The deafness of silence was cut out by another voice on their behalf. Uh, it's just Kiko calling them to hop in so that he'll be able to transport them to Manila immediately.
