I have
decided to drop out from this high school because I have no courage left to
face the wrong choice of my life, in the name of Daniel nor I want to see the
most horrible mistake of my life whom I use to call my sister from different
mother.
Since
I had already made my mind not to go to school so I were locked in my room
since a week now. My parents also got worried because of this behavior and
change in my attitude. According to them I were going towards depression. But then
something unusual happened. I have been trying to get admission into the
fashion designing school in California but due to its highest ever marks
requirement and also no chance of mine with the scholarship, I could not get
into that. Moreover I did not also pursue the opportunity with my whole heart because
somewhere in the back of my mind, I wanted to be here in Vegas only with the
people I loved the most and had strong faith that I will keep feeling the same
for them throughout my life. But, suddenly everything changed in my life. I
have lost my boyfriend, my best friend and also the zeal to pursue my studies.
And
today, I have received the offer letter from the university in California,
which was once my dream university to be in, and everything was as per my
requirements. They offered me not only the admission into the best course of the
university but also the scholarship, along with the hostel room to stay in. All
I had to do was to book the tickets and fly to my dream land.
And
it took me no time to decide, what I wanted to do. I booked the first flight
ticket, the very next Monday and in the meantime did all my homework regarding
the paper work and all here. My parents were also very happy for me. They always
knew what I wanted to do and especially after the break up incidence, they were
happy for me to know that I may start a new life with the new positive vibes. And
nothing better would have come my way than this.
It’s
Monday and I am already at the airport with my parents who have come to drop me
off. And with the wet eyes but at the same time those glowing with the new
hopes, I bid my good byes and waved at them for one last time.
Now it
was a time for one more surprise. At the checking counter, I got to know that
my booking have been upgraded to the business class without any extra charges.
I have never heard of this happening to anyone before. But at the same time I were
happy for this change. And now was the turn for me to get the princess
treatment (being the business class traveler). I have been escorted to the seat
with due respect and the hospitality started, the moment I got settled in my
seat.
It
was almost the time for the flight to take off and just then my neighboring
seat passenger moved in. And God knows why I have been receiving so many
surprises since few days coz he came nothing less than a surprise. He is the
same man who saved me the other day in the bus.
“Hey,
Karissa! Right? How are you doing?” he said.
“Hmm.
I am doing absolutely fine Mr. Knight. And I am so sorry for the last time when
I decided to run away from the hospital without informing, rather thanking you.
Actually I tried to approach you to pay my regards and thank you for the much
needed help you provided me the other day, but by the time I’d called to know
about you at the hospital, you’d left.” I uttered everything in just one breath
without waiting for his reply. Actually I were embarrassed and also feeling awkward
to face him because of everything I’d done in the past.
“It’s
OK. You need not to even mention that again. I am happy that you are all right
now. So are you travelling alone? And if I may ask, what made you that way the
other day?” he asked. And that is how our conversation began, which went on and
on till the time we reached California.
He gave
me his contact details and asked me to call him if I need any assistance or
help or anything else. And I reciprocated the same by sharing my details with
him. Although it seemed that he never wanted to say good bye to me, but I had
to as the college cab was waiting for me to pick me up as per their policy and
drop me to the university, all safe and sound.
I
must say, it was really nice meeting him. At least now I have someone known in
the city also whom I can approach whenever I will be in need. Although I don’t
know if I will ever do that but the feeling is soothing to know.
