“Ma am, what would you like to drink?”

“Double vodka on the rocks please?” she replied.

Fuck, what the hell am I doing on this plane? She thought to herself as she stared blankly as the steward pours her drink.

Seriously, what did she think is going to happen when she reached Kiev? There will be noone waiting for her at the airport, there isn’t anybody that she could reach. All she had was the tattered piece of paper that she torn off in a frenzy to copy the name of the hospital that she gotten in a reply.

“I blew off my fucking interview for this?” she thought as she took a big sip of the spirit that almost at once coursed through her chest eminating warmth.

How did she expect his reaction is going to be when she got there? Did she expect to be received by his mother? By his friends? For Christs sakes, they probably do not even know that she existed.

But how could she not? For the first time in her life, she knew what love felt like. The one person that she could cry to over the phone every night as she went through her miserable life, trying to find meaning as to what her existence in this world would bring. The one person whom she felt ashamed to give herself physically to even though he was the only person who made her feel attraction the way a man is suppose to make a woman feel. The same person who dropped off the face of the earth just like that. One day, no more contact. The same person who caused her to cry herself to sleep for months on end. The one person who made her contemplate jumping off the West gate Bridge one particularly low Thursday as she made her way into the city.

Whatever, she was way pass all this now.

She just needed to know the truth.

She just needed to see him.

She buckled her seatbelt in as she saw the mandatory flashing lights came on.

“ Ladies and Gentlemen, it has been a pleasure flying with you and we wish you a pleasant journey. The current local time is 4.35 in the morning with the weather presently sitting at 15 degrees. Unfortunately we are presently experiencing some turbulence and the landing has been currently delayed. The captain will keep you posted as we reach closer to ground. ”

Great

Come on Mother fuckers, is this the best you have got. She thought to herself as the descent began.
