Airport Trick

Elena decided to use a trick.

“ Take me to the airport, you need to hurry up, I need to be there in the next twenty minutes!” Elena commanded the driver.

“ But ma'am! “ The driver wanted to say something.

“ Just move this car!” Elena shouted.

When they got to the airport people were already boarding.

“ I have to call Mr Carlos!” The driver announced.

Elena pretended as if she didn't hear those words from him, while she ran into the airport, it was a big place so it was obvious Carlos won't find her even if he decides to look for her.

“ Please, can we switch places? I am pregnant and my sister who stays in Florida just had an accident and my five year old son stays with her! They are in the hospital all by themselves! Please let me go with this craft!” Elena fell down on her knees and pleaded loudly to a  strange man.

Everyone in the queue had pity on Elena, especially the part that she was pregnant, her sister was at the verge of dying, and the little boy all alone.

“ But this trip is really important to me, I can't risk it!” The man's unstable voice replied, trying to prove a point and at the same time avoiding the numerous eyes fixed on them.

“This might be the last time she will see her sister! Do you even care how scared the little boy would be? Why don't you have pity on the poor soul?” An old cranky lady told the man.

Elena was still kneeling down in front of him, her face placed on his shoes.

The man scratched his head, he was in-between options, he has always wished to have a sibling, so he knows the feeling of having to stay in the world without one.

“Can I have your ticket?” The man reluctantly requested.

Without hesitation Elena raised the ticket up to the man's face, her face still facing the floor.

“ Here it is! Thank you very much… I will surely repay you one day!” Elena spoke with full enthusiasm.

The whole crowd clapped for the man for being so generous even at his own detriment.

“ This man must be very rich!” Elena exclaimed as she was directed to the first class, instead of the economic class she paid for.

Elena makes use of her husband's black card so it would be obvious that he would want to know what she did with such a huge amount of money, but she would be in Florida by then.

After the announcement from the pilot, she switched off her phone and watched down as the plane took off.

She watched the country she has spent all her years at, she had never had any reason to leave that country because that was where the man of her dreams resides, the man she would give out everything in the world just to be with.

“ Vivian!” That name kept on coming out from her mouth, while tears kept on rolling down her cheeks, although she felt running away from Bristol would make her forget the pains that were mustering in her mind,little did she know that it was a scar that would forever remain in her heart.

After what seemed like eternity, they got to Florida, standing at the arrivals section not knowing where to go from there or whom to call.

Elena decided to send her beloved husband a message.

“ Hello Carlos, by now you must have noticed I am not longer under your roof, this message Is a gentle reminder for you not to hesitate to sign the divorce papers once it gets to you… thank you for the time we spent together, the time I thought you loved me sincerely, take care of yourself and your unborn child with your mistress Vivian!”

Elena took out her ring and threw it into the trash can, wiped her eyes with her palms then waved at a cab, she needs to be the strong and resilient woman she has always been.

Inside the cab, Elena thought of where to go,and how to start up her life in a new town, while hoping she would see Selene.

“ Fuck you Carlos! Yesterday was meant to be the happiest day of our lives! I trusted you Carlos! I could take a bullet for you Carlos! You decided to cheat on me with my best friend! Of all the women in the world! Why her?” Elena cried out so loud, while asking the pillow all those questions.

Her heart hurts so much, she felt she was about to die, although she was trying so hard to control herself just for the sake of her unborn child.

For two days, she remained secluded, crying and mourning the life she had lost.

On the fourth day, a knock came on her door.

“ Your credit card has been disconnected, you need to link another credit card or leave the hotel premises.” The hotel messenger delivered the message to Elena.

“ Thank you, I was going to leave today anyway” Elena responded confidently.

When the messenger left, it was drawn to her that Carlos had blocked her card, she could no longer access the money from that account.

Picking up her luggages, she headed to the exit door, with no place in mind at the moment to go, but she had to leave the hotel to avoid embarrassment, while trying Selena's number.

“ Why don't you watch where you are heading to!” A masculine angry voice yelled at her.

She just bumped into a man who had a glass of wine in his hand and the drink splashed all over his body.

“ I am sorry sir!” She tried wiping off the debris off his shoes.

“ These shoes look familiar.”

“ Get your filthy hands off my shoes!” The man kicked her so hard, which caused her to fall.

“Why will you do that to a pregnant woman!” Elena shouted, holding her flat stomach.

“ You again?” The man shouted the moment he saw Elena's face.

Dusting her body and trying to stand up from the floor.

“ Me? I have not seen you before!” Elena replied, after taking a closer look at the stranger's face.

“ Come on! Snap it out, are you not the girl from the airport? The one that made me lose a business deal!” The man yelled, stamping his feet so hard on the floor.
