our very first rendezvous

quarter to 9, I arrived early and you were not there yet.

thank god! I still had a moment to prepare myself.

to calm my jumping heart, I dragged my suitcase to the toilet to fresh up.

didn't put on too much makeup cuz it would be too unnatural after a 4.5 hours flight around 9pm.

I picked a good spot where I can observe the whole arrival area from like 20 metres away.

sat down and tried to pose myself like "I am not nervous at all."

I scanned almost every face in the lobby and then there you were. I recognised you the moment you showed up.



you were in a black striped casual jacket and a pair of dark jeans.

looked at the info board, you tried to make sure if my flight landed with no delay.

knowing that I might be somewhere in the lobby, you started to look around.

and there I was, still in the "I am not nervous at all" pose with a big smile on my face.

I tried all my efforts not to look away from your eyes when you walked towards me.

"Hi!" you said to me.



I gave you a big hug and whispered next to your ear: "Hi!" when you squatted down in front of me.

and then allow me to skip all the "how was your flight?" and "are you tired?" stuff cuz I can't really remember due to the tipsy feelings you gave me.

we walked to the parking lot with our hands holding together.

the whole night, we held our hands like we would never be apart.

even when you drove, even when we had drinks with my friends in the amazing sky bar.
