Sands of Time

Chapter 2

[CYBELE'S POV]

After that, we entered to the scan check area where they check the bags and search for sharp and prohibited object, which we have no possession of, whatsoever. Then we proceeded with the boarding of our passports to further entry of our flight. In which we will take leave to our plane, hoping for it not to be delayed or to take flight in the sky with us not in it.

As we were about to board, the flight attendants told us that we are about to be delayed because of the engine problem of our plane, but it will only take about an hour of two to be fixed before we can board. So we decided to find a place to have a snack while we wait. And inform my fiancee that it was going to be delayed in short of notice. As we wait or our order to come by, me and Daphne chatted about our love lives and our new boss that had just assigned us for this task.

Then, I received another call from fiancee and mom for safe journey and to check our flight numbers if we aren't mistaken of a delayed flight, in which we weren't.

My mom sent a text saying she wants some souvenirs when we get back. I replied her saying that I would get some jewelry that will enhance her beauty and charm. Me and my mom were in very good terms that we always stroll and buy stuff for each other. Like for my birthday, she gave me a new car . The one which I was saving up for almost 3 years in my intern job.

then I bumped into a stranger , which in fact my cousin in the going back to her homeland for the holiday and her flight was also delayed like us. so we decided to hang out for a while till our flight. which was in the same time as our. a very unexpected and once in a blue moon thing to happen since it is not everyday that it happens. plus i haven't caught up with the news about her these past years since the family reunion that happened years ago when we were but neighbors to one another. BUt now she tells we that she had been married and plan to have a honeymoon next year.

the things needed

the speakers announced the approaching of our flight, and I was all for it. "well, its nice getting to catch up to you, cousin. and of course you daphne.till we meet again?" she said as she hugged us as we exchanged farewell. and walk to the line to our plane with our boarding pass in our hands ready to exchange for our entry to our plane to lift off. we proceeded and were welcome in as the stewardess guided us to our passenger seats. I was assigned to the small window, Daphne wanted to get some sleep in dim lighting.

"my beauty sleep is of importance" Daphne said as she ordered a hot towel and a eye sleeping mask to the attendant. so she can get a shut eye for the duration of the 2 to 4 hour flight to Cairo, Egypt. "Sure, Daph. You go sleep ahead of me." I replied dismissive of her as I went back to my cellphone to turn it to airplane mode so it doesn't disrupt the plane and attract unnecessary ultra sound waves and lightning since it was also raining at that time. Very harshly in the matter of fact, its good to be cautious.

But even if I couldn't use my old Ipod for research I can still listen my saved spotify playlist and I aso notice the magazines by the front seat's net pouch. and I decided to give them a try. As I soon find myself dozing off to the song of lofi hip hop."hey wake up" Daph shook me to awaken at mid air. As the pilot announced our destination and the estimated time of our arrival at Egypt airport. "Ugh..I thought we are landing. " I complained. I'm a really cranky when I awaken, my mood worsens. "Someone slept at the wrong side of the bed." Daph replied with a sarcastic snort. "You have to wake sooner of else your sleep patterns might hinder your vision and give you jet lag when we approach our departure. Im just worried." Daphne said with sincere worry cause she knows that I tend to misdirect and loss footing of numbness of sitting. Which I force myself to wake myself up to a cup of caffeine. But Daph reordered tea instead of it, coffee will just make me hyper, and she doesnt like me hyper,Daphne hates it cause I get super giddy.

At some point we are soon to dock to Cairo Airport. And I was fully awake as I rub my eyes, with the sun radiated rays upon the side of my face casting a shadow. The drop off went smooth to a little bumpy but It didnt bother me as such as the ear shattering ringing of the propellers shutting down. It was the arrival for them in a foreign land of their visit. Cybele took breath of the air of Cairo and removed the airplane mode of her mobile phone to call her husband to fetch them from the airport. As they went to the registry and information area to find their way outside of the airport. Where Ismael, to find us in the arrival area where taxis and private vehicles are present. Then he suddenly called me, I responded that we will meet outside when the line to check our luggage are finished. in that which took us forever, cause the computer was jammed and the operator was still yet fixing it. Daphne and me were frustrated as all the others who have been waiting but as it was finished. The agreement had dissolved with it. And I was delighted when I saw him.

My fiancee My love, Ismael.
