My Trip Friend

While I was on my way to Istambul...omg! I was so depressed, I couldn't help crying, I was crying all the way to the airport, and then again while I was waiting on the boarding gate, I was crying that much and in such a deep silent that I though nobody would see me, but then I noticed people staring at me!.

I just wanted to hide, to run away...to run away from the airport, run away from everything, so I made my way to the restroom and locked myself in, and cried for almost 20 min until my flight was about to depart.

Once on board, the flight started to get delayed, but I was still on time for my next connection, however the crying scene was about to take me prisoner again, unfortunately I don’t have any friends here to talk to, so I have to carry all my grief and sorrow by myself, literally no person next to me....only a few remote friends, but no girlfriend next to me to hear my tragedies.

After making a huge effort to avoid crying, the captain announced that the flight was stuck in the runaway for another hour or so, and at that point I knew I wasn’t going to make it for my next flight and that just helped me to feel even more frustrated and my crying desire to increase even more! When my eyes started to get watery, the girl next to me started to talk to me and then I told her

-You've got a funny accent. Where r u from?

-I am from Costa Rica, she replied

Thus I switched the conversation to Spanish and we started talking....omg! This girl was so similar to me, with similar personality, about the same age, it was just  great!!!

It was like if I knew Susana from long time back and the best is that I heard everything from her and I told her everything almost everything about me, she was so into my conversation that she started crying as well...omg! It was just like having my best friend next to me, it lasted for  just a couple of hours but that make my whole day.

At the end of the journey, I recall telling her:

-bad news is that I miss my flight

and she said…

-God knows why he does what he does....good news is that you've got a friend and that you will be stuck one night in Chicago in a luxury hotel, with plenty of time for crying and meditation

-You are right... (I told her), this is the best thing that could ever happened to me.

And for the record she is visiting me very sooon!! Sweet!!! I've got a new friend out of nothing !!!
