Chapter 2: The End of the Beginning

The whole plane started shaking vigarously and the speakers came blaring "Please fasten your seatbelt", the cabin crew that were serving tea suddenly began retreating into their compartments and also sat down. Oh well another one of those trebulance issues, she was so sick and desperate to get home that this was beginning to annoy her, as usual in a moment all these commotion will die down and the place ride will go along as usual.

Suddenly she felt herself being pulled upwards and objects were actually flying up, the plane has plunged at least 500 feet in those seconds, the screams of "please fasten your seat belt" was still ringing around the plane and screams of horror and fright could now be heard. Thinking to herself, how unlucky she could be to be boarding the 1 in a million plane that actually has an accident.

Along with all the commotion she did not realise a guy was then seated next to her next to her supposing empty seat, when she turned around he saw him being calm and composed and he told her not to be scared, it will die down in a few moments, and he had this very calm and confident smile on him. She actually on the spot believed him and the plane did actually go into a smoother ride after 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile he introduced himself as Raymond and said that he was on of the junior pilots on the ride and that he has faith in his mentor who had 25 years of piloting experience and has gone through more plane rides then anybody in the industry. However before they could actually venture further, an air stewardess came by and whispered into his ear, and he said that he had to report back for duty. She smiled and waved goodbye, thinking to hersefl her was actually kinda cute.


The plane finally landed and she could finally go home, just head out and get her luggage and then head straight home, and that shouldn't be difficult as her luggage is a bright blue one, big and easy to spot. The crowd was already beginning in the baggage area but like she anticipated hers was easy to spot, there it was just circulating out. Meanwhile on the other side Kevin was strolling across leaisurely to the baggage area and checking out the shops at the airport, and he was sure that his lugagge would be there by then and as he anticipated it was there circulating. Thinking to himself it was good to not have bags that are almost identical to others, and since there are only 2 copies of this bags made in the world it is almost impossible that another person would have the same thing here right here in Hong Kong.

Little did he realise that his curse was about to come true, he figured that his luggage seems a bit heavier then he remembered and when he turned it around his favourite pistol lock on the bag was missing, not believing what was happening he attempted to open the luggage on the spot and realise that the combination does not work. Checking the tag it did not state his name, OMG!!!!!! Thank God there was a contact number

Bzz, Bzz..... OMG! how can they know i already landed so fast, before she realises that it was not a recognised number.

"Miss, i think you mis-took my bag"
"Huh"
"Yeah.... can you please check where there is a pistol lock on the front of your bag?"
"OMG! Yes! I AM SO SO SORRY"
"its alright where are you now?"
"i am on the taxi back to my house"
"where do you stay"
"Plaza Sentral, Sentral"
"Wau you must be really lucky then, i stay near there too, i will come to your lobby now please wait for me there"
"oh ok thanks"

Finally, i can take a rest, thinking back to what happened in the flight and the coincidence of bags plus the exchange, it really did kinda exhaust her, the guy with the suitcase was actually kinda cute with his boyish smile and lether coat. Oh well, got to go sleep and reminds herself not make the same mistake ever again

Little did she realise that the meetings between these two people were faith and whether the upcoming times would be not what she expected in her life
