Started in some morning, my
scheduled plan morning flight has waiting. Got my boarding pass ready, and all
set things in one bag. I went to the Airport Shuttle to catch the boarding
time. Time has gone so fast, I already queued up among all the strangers in the
checking room. I use all my energy to not
letting a single time wasted, after the luggage inspection. Straight to where my
boarding gate was. The gate finally opened. I boarded myself to the plane and find
my seat.
After I put my bag on the top of
the plane cabin, I place my sit in 19C. Plane seat near with the aisle. Moment
later, there is a young woman, who’s seat in the same row, but near the window.
I made a little move just to let her to get in. Unconscious feeling in my mind,
guessing who will get in to sit in the middle of us. Someone coming from the
front seat area, and I immediately stood up to let the guy to get in. It turned
out he is not sitting in the middle. So, I sat back to my seat. And he started
to talk with the young woman, with different language which I could not
understand. Then, the guy come back to his seat at the front seat.
Shortly, after all the passengers went
board in. I saw a man, bring his white suitcase, and his black backpack. He wore
all black from top to toe. I still can describe how tall he was. Spectacle man,
with hanging headphone in his neck. I could tell that he was in a rush when he boarded
to the plane, by seeing his suitcase which was still not properly closed. He threw away his headphone and phone to the middle seat. I said in my mind, “Oh this is
the person who will sit in the middle.” I keep calming myself up, by the sudden
throw from the aisle. I let him to get in to the middle seat.
Not a long time after it, the take-off
information from flight attendant were airing. The young woman, which was sit near
the window, asked to get out. Leaving me alone with the man. I commented to
him, “I think she prefer to sit there, at the front.” With no later time, he
said “I don’t know, she could maybe come back, so do you want to take her seat?”
And I reply him with “No, I’ll keep sit in here.” And our conversation was
stop. The man still sat in the middle, and a moment later, he already moved and
sit near the window.
The plane did the take off. He pulled
out his headphone and book form his backpack. Read, then closed it. Asking to go
out from the row, I never mind where did he went. Then, after a while, he was
back with his friend, a girl who’s next sit in the window seat. Later, I was
asleep until the plane landed. Then, it was me, who’s switch to leave him, with
her.
>>> If a single glimpse and several minutes making
someone feel different way, did the man notice it? Or she could just let the it flow away.
