And My World Turned Upside Down

Chapter :-1

"Escape"

Hitomi fidgeted with her necklace for what seemed like the millionth time. She shifted on the edge of her seat casting a nervous glance towards the Airport Entrance,half expecting to see a very familiar person. She sighed with relief to see no one she knew, has entered the gate.

The old couple sitting to her left smiled at her understandingly.

"Waiting for your lover, dear?" asked the old woman.

The question was quite simple,but it left her speechless.

Lover?Love?Is this really love?She remembered reading it somewhere, "Love is One's Biggest Strength".She was also doing this for her love,then why was she feeling so restless ?There she was, boarding a flight all alone. She was scared,lonely and everything felt utterly wrong .

Whoever wrote that peachy line , it only looked good in romance novels and not in real life drama.

Unable to respond to their question Hitomi smiled weakly at them,trying to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall.

For the love of Gaea,please don't let them be on my flight. I don't want to be caught red-handed. This much of embarrassment is enough for a lifetime. She prayed silently.

As if answering her prayers, the couple rose from their seats and moved towards the security gate to catch their recently announced flight to Basram. They smiled at Hitomi bidding adieu and Hitomi smiled back in relief.

"Thank God"she muttered ,watching the retreating backs of the couple.

The loudspeaker at the terminal boomed again,catching her attention.

"Flight No 75890,Vionne from Palas to Fanelia is ready for it's departure. All passengers are requested to head towards the security gate no 2."

With a sigh of relief ,Hitomi rose from her seat,with a new determination. She glanced one last time towards the Airport entrance. A part of her feeling disappointed and sad while another part feeling finally free and happy. She was not scared like before. None of the familiar faces appeared at the entrance. She started walking towards the security check point with a clear resolution.

After all, what has been done can't be changed anymore. It wasn't time for 'What ifs...',it was time to 'face the consequences.'

Author's Note:-

It is a Test upload. If this upload also fails. Then I'll take down this story

I don't know why,but whenever I upload a document to Fanfictionpress,something goes wrong. Some sentences go missing. Few words go missing,leaving the story jumbled up and meaningless. I know that, there will be typos and grammatical mistakes in my story,because sometimes I write too fast and misspell words here and there and sometimes it's because of my poor knowledge of the language. After all English is not my mother tongue. But at any rate I'm not so stupid that I'll eat up half of the sentences of my own story.

This has happened earlier,when I uploaded stories by another pen name. I had to take down all my stories for this reason.

I'm using Open Office Organization,Latest Mozilla Firefox,Windows XP Sp3,if I still can't upload it,then may be I'll never be able to upload.

If you are reading this story please review and let me know what you think.

Sorry about the crappy story name and summary. I'm not good with either of them.

I don't have a Beta Reader and like I said my English is very weak,because it's not my native language,so if you find any mistakes do let me know.
