Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 5 God’s Plan

She was still looking at her phone when a flight attendant came to her and asked.

“Miss, are you flying by China Southern Airlines to JFK?”

“Oh yes.”

“Ma’am please come and board the flight. It’s almost the end of the final call.

May I have your boarding pass please?”

Akira handed her the boarding pass and got up from her seat.

“Ma’am please follow this way.”

The flight attendant could sense that there was something with her. So she decided to escort her till her seat inside the flight. She took her to the business class section and helped her sit at her seat number 5.

It was Akira’s first time traveling business class. Had it been any other day she would have been super excited. Probably would have clicked pictures and would have shared with her friends. But today it was different for her. Nothing mattered. All that she wanted to do was to reach home as soon as possible.

She slumped into her seat and started looking out of the window. She could only see the pathway lights to her side. And then she remembered how she had prepared the LED light strings to decorate Anthony’s apartment, all the confetti, the cake. The whole image started hounding her again and before she could realize tears were streaming down her face again.

She had prepared so much for this day. She was supposed to meet him after one whole year. Her semester was over and it was the best way to take a break. Anthony was her senior from college and after getting a job at Infinion Inc, one of the most prestigious Gaming brand, he had left for Singapore as it was their Head Quarter. She studied hard to land an internship in the same company as his so that she can have more of his company. What all the plans she had. She wanted to give him her Internship selection letter. She wanted to see his reaction. She was so happy within when she was packing for Singapore.

She had no idea that her luck will turn so sour. She took out the Internship letter from her purse and started reading it again. With every word, she started tearing up. But she didn’t bother to wipe them away. She knew she had to take this as a lesson.

The flight was about to take off and the Seatbelt sign was put on. But she was transferred into the thoughts of her own, not realizing a thing happening around her. Just then the flight attendant came to her to request her to put her seatbelt on.

“Ma’am, are you ok? Do you feel ok?

Please put the seat belt on. Can I get you something? “

“No.”

Akira shook her head and fastened her seat belt. Then she used her sleeves to wipe away her tears. Then she slowly slapped both her cheeks to wake herself up from all the painful memories. She wasn’t blaming anyone. She had faith in God. She tried hard to console herself that it was part of God’s bigger plan. Little did she know that it actually was.
