The aircon hummed in low decibel, constant and unnoticeable by the throng of people rushing to and fro the whole walkway. He tried to concentrate on the clean and sterile looking floor, devoid of spots.
With trepidation I waited for the news and strange as it may seem (or cruel), I heaved a sigh of relieve that the “chosen” one is not me.
I know it is dog-eat-dog world but to see 3 longer serving person getting axed while I remain gave me the sense of non-enjoyable happiness.
I’m feeling weird now… blur and weird.. and I’m shivering (not due to the cold).
The hustle and bustle in the cabin interrupted his thoughts. Upping the volume of his mp3 player, he sunk deeper into his seat, cradling the book he reads closer to his chest as he pondered on the hours earlier when he stepped on the flight with light footed steps.
As the songs directory shuffled itself automatically, he heard a familiar tune. A tune which grabbed his attention the moment his ears heard it. It brought him a momentary sense of tranquility despite the din, his book is all but forgotten.
Smile appeared on his weary face as he shifted his thoughts on the welcoming sight of his loved ones back home. It never fail to bring tears to his eyes whenever such thoughts crossed his mind. He, a man considered to be the pillar of strength brought down and mellowed with such emotional effect?
Closing his eyes, patiently he waits, and he played the song repeatedly. Thoughts firmly on the smiling face with that pretty eyes of hers. Sleep overcame him with ease despite the uncomfortable surroundings.
Suddenly he is jolted from his slumber with the bump on the plane landing and patiently he waited until it came to a screeching halt.
