Long wait @ the airport!!

Long wait at the airport...

Its really a great thing that these days you can do anything using your smartphone. So if you are not smart enough then no regrets. Now today Ishika is going for a holiday… no not a foreign trip or so, she is going to visit her home-town. She reached the airport 4 hours prior to her flight. Pretty boring!!

It was her last day with her current job as she wanted to take a break so she quits. Few days of oxygen, the much needed break. All set to enjoy the next few days. Lot of plans are already made. Meeting old friends, shopping, eating favorite food by mom and add a lot of calories. To top the list a week of peaceful sleep.

Finally bags are checked, boarding pass is taken and security check is done. Here again the smartphone comes into picture. Last day emails, phone calls and saying goodbye to all. Although it was a choice to leave the job, still last day she was feeling emotional. Ishika is emotional but no one knows it. She wanted to hug everyone before leaving but she did not. She promised herself she will come back and again fight for her life and her dreams.

Dreams !! yeah… Mumbai is a city of dreams, many dreamers come here to chase their dreams.  Today this city had taught her to be independent to take decisions and listen to her heart. So she is going to take the much needed break and go on a holiday. It does not matter to her today if she is right or wrong (rationally) but she is happy to follow her heart.

Ishika called her family to assure that she reached safely to airport (Bong Moms!!) then called her cousin to come to pick her from the Kolkata airport.

Still a long wait and meanwhile some facebook, whatsapp, instagram and slefies. Ishika was badly getting bored, so thought of calling her mother till she catches her flight. So just in the middle of phone call she screams “Oh my God” … yes the reason is really big for her. The famous song writer, composer Mr. Anupam Roy was buying something from an outlet there near the gate no. 23. She was so damn eager to speak to him, ask about his inspiration etc but, her mom kept on chatting and by time she hung Mr. Roy disappeared from the store.

Heart broken!! Yes thats the right word. She still had hopes to see him as a co-passenger but that did not happen.

But her excitement was reaching its heights and again started planning about the next few days, meeting friends. All her friends were also super excited to meet her after long time. Her disappointment disappeared by the love and affection of her family and friends who were also counting days to meet her. Most importantly the wait of her mother, no one can match that love. In some time the boarding call for her flight was announced and now its time to go home.
