An Inch of a Flying Love
CHAPTER 1
How can a teacher be so idiot, loving someone she just met on Facebook? How can she be so idiot loving
a face of a man she never met in person and still longing him for too long?
Nah! Yeah right she is that kind of woman. I met her way when we were born. She got guts but often doesn’t use it
which let her end miserable than Juliet in Shakespeare’s famous theatrical play. She is Alex. Short cut for Allexa Marie Lin, 28
years old English Teacher, a victim of triad love affair. But she’s this sweet young girl, I knew, only that, she is real idiot when
it comes to love. She has been married for 5 years and it doesn’t last longer than that. Her partner gave up on life 3 years ago
leaving her with nothing but herself and I am Xandreannie Rose Fernandez, her best friend ever since before her obsession
with a man began.
And as I told you, right now it’s been one year since she met this picture of a guy on Facebook, thinking he was chatting
with her, told me she got new relationship and finding out it was a scam, leaving again my dear best friend still falling in love
with the man in the picture.

I was out to a coffee shop when my phone rings and someone texted me for help, telling me an emergency is off to
set. I rolled my eyes and texted back ‘coming’ so for her not to get my phone low batt. It is a gloomy Saturday, the supposedly
rest day of mine not thinking of work and anything else’s, just chillin’ since I work as a flight attendant in a domestic flight and
rarely be able having time for myself, yet remembering my friend and being a responsible bestie wouldn’t let me. I returned to
the coffee shop ordered another coffee and headed right away to Rizal Park where we used to hang if time permits to see my
friend and aiding her need of help.
“I found him on insta. And I set a request to follow” Alex told me right before I sit to the chair fronting her.
I forgot it’s also been few months of her, looking for the real existence of the man in the picture and she always have
time telling me things about her failed treasure hunting-like searches. Every time Allexa tells me about the man, as if her world
just moves around him which made me think her situation sucks.
‘Seriously?’ I arched a brow looking at her. I could see the excited look on her eyes telling me things about this guy
whom she said she love too long eventually finding him on insta.
“You should I guess drink this coffee first before you speak out” I handed her the coffee I bought and she
gulped once on it.
“Well, the true account? ‘ I asked her looking directly on her eyes. She nodded.
‘So you texted me for help and this is what you’re telling me now?’
Alex smiled at me childishly. ‘I also found out he was from Vietnam!’
Right then I chuckled. How can this friend of mine being an idiot as well as being a stalker of a man he never met at
the same time.
‘Great then dear Alex, all you have to do is to wait for your request to get clicked confirm.’ I said continue
sipping my coffee.
‘That’s what I’m going to ask you out for help’ Alex said and I eyed her thinking what’s on her mind.
“Well, I was thinking whether you can do me a favor.’ my friend said hesitantly.
“And what on earth could I do?’ I asked her also curious on what she is telling me.
‘Will you also send him a follow request for me?’
I crossed my legs this time while looking at her expectant look, I don’t know what gotten to this friend who was so
obsess with someone she doesn’t know about. I eyed her like reading her thoughts but all I had read is her two eyes
looking at me expecting a ‘yes’ for the favor she is asking.
“Why would I?’ I eventually said still sipping my coffee.
I don’t have any valuable reason to help Alex like that though. I don’t wan’na get obsess with a man like her. I also
got no reason why on earth would I add this person she is telling me about. I love privacy and doing a request like
that for her is like intruding my privacy.
‘because I believed he’ll never refuse to confirm someone who works in air like him’
I rolled my eyes and think of excuses how will I convince Allexa for me not to. I look at her and see her eyes pleading
as if I was the only hope she had.
The next moment, I was finding myself getting out on Rizal Park with her going to our respective home, with her face
that drew the end of the world.
________________________________________________________________________
It is Sunday, I get my early morning walk alone, thinking maybe Allexa is upset with me, not listening to her plea. I
texted her last night and I received no respond, I chatted her through messenger and I still didn’t get any respond on
her. I guess when you are obsess with someone you tend to get ignoring people in life and make that obsession your
sole world. Well I know her for too long and her experiences gives the lead of myself not get so serious on guys,
specially handsome ones. I’ve been working in Air Pacific for 5 years now and on that 5 years through, I’ve witness
co-flight attendants crying hard in foolish love for pilots they just even know for months. I’ve been telling Allexa a
whole lot about pilots especial those nice looking bachelors who stayed single even at 40 but as if I told her nothing.
My phone beep, notifying something in twitter. I stop walking and open my phone and found out that it was Allexa
posting.
‘Paper works through and through is like love,….soooo endless”
Right then I was relieved, she was just so busy I guess not to entertain chats and messages. And here I am quite
thinking about her being upset or not.
A few minutes later, she posted again something which makes me feel so embarrass for her.
It was an edited picture of a pilot he longs to holding hands with Alex with its caption “ Gonna holdin’ yah forever”

I was really disappointed by Xandy’s respond to me when I told her about the favor I’m actually asking her. Not that
it’s a big deal for her though. But well…. I saw her texted me last night and notifications popped up in insta, but I was
so busy doing a lot of paper works for my online class. just lesson plans though..heheheh).and I was just hoping
that me ignoring her messages made her think I’m mad at her! ( well, just figuratively,hehehe). Nobody well maybe
understand my feeling I guess. I was just born soft hearted that I easily fall for people, especially the handsome ones.
Xandy wouldn’t understand that because she’s way to serious on some things except for intimate relationship right
after Brent- her ex, cheated on her with some random girl he met when he separated airlines with my bestie. She
was a first officer for 3 years while her Brent was the captain. Well, she was asked to switched airlines by her boyfie
and she declined, it made her great anyhow, she worked hard right after and get promoted to captain’s position, 2
years ago. She is a direct opposite of me, I talk much while she listens, I laugh often, while she’s way too serious
on things, I seldom goes out while she travels more often. Maybe it’s because she is smarter than me or I smarter
than her? What d’you think?
I’m actually doing things in my room and was just pausing and posting something, I love routinary posting and this
post I’m having now excites me.
Xandy had commented on my post saying ‘then, is this poster get confirmed or kicked out?’
I was about to respond when my phone beeps for a message, I check my phone and reads ‘ sometimes you need
to decline posting which embarrass you’ it was her, telling me to unpost what I posted.. I rolled my eyes and
exited the phone messenging app. ‘NO WAY!’
I open my insta. and search Mr, Tran’s name….and oh my GOSH!!!!!! He had gone through deleting my request I
guess?.. so what I’m doing now is sending him another request, he might have accidentally deleted things and maybe
regretting deleting that nice prof. pic of mine. ( hehee).
I am working on a night flight, and my co-pilot told me to take a nap first for a few hours,(we pilots are allowed to
that but one before the other). So I was getting ready to take a nap when suddenly I remembered the job search
from LinkedIn, I was really interested to travel and to experience working abroad, and that job, I guess is the solution
of it all.
