NEVER LIKE THIS

LAYLA held the plane tickets tightly in her hands.

Her heart breaking into pieces,one tear dropped,then next, then another, she wiped her face hardly that, her skin turn red from using too much force. She slowly walked to the attendants and did what she is supposed to do,she is directed to go and board plane while she held her abdomen gently as she board the plane.

IF she leaves Snow City now,she doesn't know when she will come back and doesn't even know if she will ever come back at all. she smiled sadly at herself for being stupid and not seeing the writing's on the wall.

FOR one and half years,she never asked why he always hid her and never introduced her to any of his friends and family,she was okay because she thought time would give him enough comfort to openly show her to his family and friends yet she only deceived herself.

THE thoughts running through her mind made her suffocate,she started losing breath, a young man sitting beside her notice this and quickly pacified her gently,rubbing her back slowly as he called a flight attendant to get him water.

His face looked very concerned as if he knew Layla from somewhere. The flight attendant brought the water and handed it to the man,who slowly removed his hand from Layla's back and open the bottled water then offered it to her but because her hands were trembling he directed the water to her mouth.

"here, sip a little bit of water" his voice was so soft that anybody who listen to him twice will be intoxicated.

LAYLA who didn't notice anything that the young man had done for her in the past 30 minutes,slowly sipped the water without caring where it was coming from because at the moment she needed the water.

She slowly look up after sipping the water to calm down, the eyes that met hers,made her forget her problems,she stared at him like a fool with her lips slightly open apart.
