Flight EK 666 - Part 18

First she thought she was just panicking. But then she looked again. It wasn't a mirage or anything. It was the same man she had seen in her dreams - Tom. He wore the same crisp suit he wore in her dreams. He had the same smile when he had first met in her dreams. She shivered at thoughts of what was going to happen in few hours.

She was in dilemma. Her heart panicked while her mind kept saying it was just a dream. She had few minutes left in her watch. She thought about nightmare. It seemed so real. The dead people, the haunted plane and the devil seemed so real. She either had to board the plane or run away. The choices were simple and yet complicated. If she chose to fly and things turned to be what she had seen in her dream, she would end up blaming herself. If she chose to run away, then people may not let her run because they may not believe her story.

She looked around. She saw the same middle aged man sitting with the same book he was reading in her dream. She realized at last that her dream would eventually become true. She made her choice instantly. It was life against dreams. She had to do something right now. There was only one way she could get out of this place. She had to make herself look medically unfit to fly.

She got up when announcement was made. As she got close to boarding gate, she pretended to get dizzy. She bent down , hugged her tummy and cried hard. Some people came close to her to see what had happened. Someone asked her if she was feeling ill. "I am not feeling good. I am not able to breathe properly. My stomach is paining bad. I am feeling dizzy." Few airport staff reached with medical team.


A medical staff checked her pulse rate. He then checked her heart beat and stomach with stethoscope. "It is mild food poisoning. She will be fine with these medication I will be prescribing.", he
 said. "I am sorry, Ma'am. We cannot board you to this flight as you are medically unfit. Do you mind if we escort you to medical room? You can rest there until any one of your family member comes to pick you up.", an airport staff said politely.

Tina was relieved. She nodded. She didn't care about the money she was going to lose with the flight.. She didn't care about the opportunity she was going to loose. She wanted to get back home and see her family.
