The Departure.

I’m one of those annoying people who always wants to reach a place at least an hour before the required time, but then if you are traveling with me, it’s going to be more than just annoying. So when we decided to travel by car all the way from Greensboro to Raleigh for our flight to Chicago, you can imagine the number of times I calculated in my mind whether  we are giving ample time for the road journey, the unexpected traffic if any, the long weekend rush in the airport etc. So after pooping all over my brain with such imaginary obstacles and circumstances, I made sure Bigshot and I leave the house by 1:00 PM so that we could reach airport by at least 3:00 PM. Guess what. We reached the airport earlier than 3:0o PM and I even took a selfie at the airport, while waiting for the shuttle.

 

What wonderful thing I learned from having an arranged marriage is that every day you get to see the most peculiar side of each other, and that day, I learned that Bigshot never liked to reach anywhere early. While I was busy soaking in the airport scene and the very talented buskers there,

 

I forgot to pay attention to Bigshot, who by now, had finished eating half of his entire nails. He was always used to reaching any place after the mentioned time that he couldn’t feel comfortable when he reached, in fact a lot earlier . Eventually he accepted that reaching early anywhere is absolutely normal and hence decided to roam around our departure gate area in the airport and figure out a place to have our late lunch. We had our lunch around 3:30 PM now and I even took the moving walkway a couple of times for the mere amusement of it.

Our gate still showed 4:30 PM as our boarding time for our 5:15 PM flight. Okay I’m not going to confuse anybody with the time again, let’s just say the flight was on-time. As usual I started taking selfies where in Bigshot pretends as if he is not related to me or my phone.

 

It was time for us to board the flight after a while and there were no announcements made yet, so we checked with the people standing on the long queue in front of the gate now.

“We are waiting to get our e-tickets converted to flight tickets here. These fucking people (airline) are planning to delay the flight.” One lady said.

We went back to our seats, praying it shouldn’t be delayed for a longer time, after all we had big plans of seeing one of the places in Chicago after reaching in the night. We have heard the night view from that place is a must see. 2 hours went by, the flight was delayed again to another one hour that by now we had lost count of it. By 8:00 PM we had dropped our entire plan of sight seeing but now the actual problem was whether a flight would even take us to Chicago, because while we were waiting for the flight even when it got delayed, many people assumed the worst and got  themselves into other flights saying they have another connecting flight that they couldn’t miss. In the end the total amount of people left to take the delayed flight were just around 20-25 people. Will a flight come all the way from New York, just for that many people to reach Chicago? Will Bigshot and Lakshmi survive the airport? Will they be able to have the much awaited Chicago trip after all? Stay tuned for the next….waittttt!!!! I got carried over. Let’s continue the story.

By 9:00 PM I was tired and disappointed that even the selfies couldn’t help with my mood and Bigshot by now had formed a fighter group with the 10 people from the 25 people waiting. The fighter group consisted of a lady who would go to the gate reception every 10 minutes to scream bloody murder at the guy who is answerable to everybody waiting, then there was another bearded dude who would go every 5 minutes to the gate reception to ask if there is any way he can know when the other flight from New York is going to start and would go back to speaking on his phone. Bigshot was the person whom everyone in the fighter group would vent out their fear, anxiety and dilemma and he was the only calm and composed guy the fighter group had. The rest of the people, including me, did not bother to ask anybody when the flight is coming or if there is any cancellations, we were too lazy to even start a lazy group. By 9:00 PM the flight was delayed for another 2 hours and we decided to go have some food but the sight I saw was nothing compared to what I saw when I had reached the place.

 

 

More devastating news followed when the gate guy told us that the flight from New York would be trying to take off at 12:00 AM and if the flight crew is available, we would have a flight at 1:o0 AM to take us to Chicago. Otherwise, the whole flight will be cancelled and the next available flight is only after 2 days. I felt like the airport glass windows were going to shatter from the screams that followed this news. The fighter group faught, compromised, bargained and even threatened the poor guy in the reception and the New York flight finally took off and we were expected to board it around 1:00 AM. The free meal coupon they gave for the inconvenience caused were used in the only eatery place which was open and when the gate dude announced the boarding of our flight, the entire 25 people (including the lazy group) gave a standing ovation, to each other, for the perseverance and the patience. When we landed at 3:30 AM in the Chicago airport, my eyes were burning up so much that I started pouring out tears after tears. BUT that did not stop us from taking airport pictures of Chicago.

 

On our way back from Chicago, exactly 3 days later, we saw the same bearded dude from the fighter group and Bigshot and him exchanged awkward handshakes due to their rather heavy mood swings they saw of everyone on that day and while sitting with us, he exclaimed,

“I hope this flight is not delayed.”

We laughed out loud, nervously.
