After having become laughing stock of my entire family,
relatives, relative’s friends and my friends for missing the flight, even on
reaching airport four hours before its actual departure. I always make sure to
adhere to all timelines and every guideline written or announced on Airport and double check everything.
Is flight no. Shown
on display boards and on my ticket same, is flight on time? By any remotest
chance is it early? No power banks in check in luggage, no prohibited objects
in hand baggage. I check on which gate boarding will take place and on which floor is
this boarding gate located. Most importantly I make sure to take the boarding
pass, the moment check in starts and get my security done, then take the seat in
front of boarding gate to do the boarding when it finally starts.
I did all that, that day and triumphantly secured my middle
seat in the Airplane. I picked up the airline magazine from pocket fixed on
backside of my front seat and started praying for one of two things to happen:
god either give me female co-travellers or keep seats adjacent to mine
initially empty and when everybody is seated, one of the airhostess should
come, sit on it and strike a conversation with me.
Soon the window seat was taken by a geeky teenage guy who
slept the moment he took his seat. I had lost my hope yet again and started
blaming god but soon I got a gift which broke my brooding.
Your meal sir, a packet of nachos and cheesy dip with a can
of beverage, would you like anything more sir, said the hostess. A girl seated
in seat in a row before mine, uttered “ I need more”
Then this girl turned around and, my god ! she had big
beautiful eyes, two almonds on a heart face.
She said that her seat is not comfortable as it is somehow
not arching back, so she wants to change her seat.
I prayed, I begged to god, I bribed the universe, to make
law of attraction work and it indeed worked. She came and sat next to me.
She was wearing a cream - white embroidered Shirt and
standard blue jeans.
I tried to break the chill and said to her “these airlines
need to ...” she stopped me in half “ I am not interested”
Girls are terrible at being humble, I was just trying to start a conversation, I grumbled in my mind and went on to read my magazine. I tried to focus hard, but I couldn’t, her feet didn’t let me. They were slender, long and extremely soft to look at, the best part though were her toenails, perfectly cut. I for instance, have them so disproportionately cut that they look like toes of an evil monster.
Captivated by her toes, I didn’t realize airhostess was long
asking me for giving her empty meal packets until this women sitting next to me pinched me on
ear and said “I can cut yours in the same way, if you want” I felt shy, but somehow dared to say “ in
flight or after landing” and she replied
“ in flight of course” . This released
plethora of fantasies in my head and I was sailing well in them before I heard
the carcass voice of air hostess.
An airhostess was
announcing in a mic: everybody, this
woman here is our first official style hostess, she and her team will transform you while
you fly, so enjoy their services to put your feet on ground as a completely different
looking person.
Soon the women next to me stood up and said we have a team of
pretty ladies over here who will come to your seat and give you services at a
meagre cost as per your requirements. You can get a haircut in our special
technically advanced barber head cap, get manicure, pedicure, face message or
simply a head massage. She pulled me up and said “This man would be our first
experiment” I waved to everyone, to which they gave a good laugh. I wondered in
my head, “whether I was just born to please people” and, felt sad at this thought
of mine but then something struck me, maybe an arrow of courage released from a cupid’s bow.
Was it the serendipity event I was waiting for ? Yes it was ! I said to myself first and then said this loud out to our audience “yes I will be her experiment if she agrees to
go out on a date with me after we land on ground”
Some people laughed, Some clapped and some whistled before
all of them roared in chorus “ yes she would, yes she would”
She was feeling shy or embarrassed, I can’t say. But she
held the mic and said in energy “ Yes I would !”
People clapped and shouted. This was the best Air travel I
have ever had in my life.
And, this is how I met my girlfriend for the first time and unknowingly helped her launch a new add on service in her airline company’s first
flight.
Soon this service reaped her huge benefits and her airline company
became champion of the domestic travel segment surmounting the large players in
the aviation industry.
