The Departure
1041 Words
A week has passed already. We all had gotten ready to escort Malia to the airport.
"Girls let's get going now we're running late she might miss her flight" Emelia shouted.
We all hurried downstairs waiting for a taxi to the airport.
Two flash light appeared in a parallel pespestive and we all hoped it was a taxi.
"Thank God !" Emelia shouted in relief when the taxi stand on the white and green strip sports car became visible.
"Please take us to the airport"I told the driver and we jumped into the car.
We could still hear the car wheels splashing water along the road side as we eagerly waited hastily upon our arrival at the airport.
After the 3 miles journey the car wheel halts.
"Oh guys we are here" I shouted impatiently as we got down the car and I paid the driver.
"Thank you sir have a safe trip"I said to the driver and he drove off.
"Haaah!" I signed inwardly then we walked into the airport .
Malia arrived few minutes later.
We help her with her check in and also helped her with her luggage.
"Aww ... I can't believe its a reality" Eva said. We all became emotional immediately.
Well it wasn't expected but tears began to walk down our chins when we heard airports sirens calling out a flight number.
"Flight 307 is on board, all passengers please report to the departure hall ." Thank you" siren announced.
" Group hug! "Emelia shouted and we all hugged and took some few pictures as well.
We weren't excited as you could spot the sadness in each others eyes.
We waved and watched her walk to the departure hall till her shadows could not be seen.
With our sad elongated faces we left the premises of the airport and we took a car back home.
I entered the house first and Eva followed then the almighty commentator Emelia followed lastly.
"Oh God the count down begins, four minus one and we're left with three" she noted signed inwardly and continued "well who is next?".
"Emelia ! " I called out! "What !" She responded raising her hand in defense .
" Girls its already a late , why don't go get some rest" I said in a soft hand.
"Well goodnight" Eva said and left for bed. I switched off the lights and followed Emelia to the bed room.
"Have a sound sleep, oh ! and dream of him "she giggled and shut her eyes.
"Oh please"I said and went to bed.
"Who is there please"Emelia shouted as she heard a knock on the door.
"I'm coming "she voiced to the hearing of who ever was behind the door.
The noise from all the shimming and shouting knocked me up from my sleep.
"What is going on down here"I shouted running down the staircase.
"Oh sorry did we wake you" Emelia noticed.
"Good morning beautiful, how was your night"said Eva.
"It was just about to end perfectly well until your noise woke me up"I responded.
"Oh sorry girl" retorted Eva.
The two girls had already ordered pizza so we all sat to eat .
The set on the table put a huge smile on my face.
It is shocking how food can make my day, with pizza, hot chocolate and some fruits spread on the table my morning smile never ceases.
We all went to our various work places after the meal and the daily activities continued as always.
A week had already gone by, and nothing has changed.
The only thing which seems to have changed is my relationship with Michael which seemed to have improved.
Few days a go Michael had offered me an invitation to his house.
So I woke up early this morning even though its late so I can't afford to be late.
He was picking me up at 12 noon so I was ready by 11:30am.
Soon I heard the noise from a car horn."oh! He is here already"I thought.
I opened the door for him and offered him a seat.
"Please let me go grab my bag"I politely requested.
He stared at me and slightly shook his head , then I went upstairs.
"Ok I'm ready now, shall we?" I said in a soft tone.
"oh yeah!"he responded.
" But where are the other girls at? I didn't see them around" Michael questioned.
"Oh actuatly they both went to the mall to get some groceries for the house"I responded.
Soon we were at his house. Honestly I had to turn almost three times just to stare at his compound again.
"Is this really his house?"I thought silently as I turned around in circles staring at his house a thousand times again.
He looked at me and smiled and I could tell he could sense the surprise out of my face.
He opened the door for me but I was tripping to get inside.
He chuckled "don't be shy, please come in"he said calmly.
"Why do you seem so surprised?" Michael questioned.
"Well...you see....I didn't expect to see this"I answered.
He gave me a wondering look which made me nervous.
" Well....not in a bad way thou.....but you know you're too simple and nice, caring and very kind to all people so I didn't even think you would be this rich" I continued.
"I understand..... I get that a lot"he smiled. "What do I offer you"he asked.
"well anything soft will do for now" said me.
"I'll be back in few minutes"he said and walked to his mini bar.
I sat on his couch still surprised and waited for my drink.
"here....please have your drink"he politely said serving me with plate of cookies and fruit drink.
"Thank you, you have a very beautiful home"I complimented.
"Thanks dear, I can show you around if you want" he offered.
I node my head saying yes to his offer.
We had a long conversation.
As we sippped our drinks,we talked more about him ,my friends and also we gossiped about other things.
"OK enough about me , tell me more about yourself" Michael voiced.
"well there's nothing much to tell"I said.
