My few steps...
I always loved traveling ... Every night before a trip was sleepless for me.Just planning or discussing about traveling
would cheer me up..
Finally the day came when I was eighteen years old and thought big enough of me to go on a solo trip .
I thought my parents would be happy with my plan but sadly they opposed out of concern .
I tried everything to convince them from locking myself in room for hours to cry hardly but none of them worked.
I planned to visit Vietnam as their currency was cheaper than India plus it was safe and a good tourist spot..
I even thought of the whole budget ,the place to stay there and what things to do and what not but I was still waiting for that one yes from my parents.
Days passed but they were stuck with their answer .I thought if i won't dare to take a step now then I will regret for all the marvellous experiences which are up to come.
If I inform them even a minute before leaving they would have stopped me so I did all the bookings a week ago and packed my things at night and left next early morning with full fear of my dad .
The movement I entered the airport I called my father and told him .He was about to come out from the phone and slap me tightly before he could emotionally trap me i hang up by saying that I would inform him my whereabouts.
I was amazed by the size , beauty of airport that I almost forgot about the procedure to get done with my ticket.
As I thought of it my eyes were looking where to go .I came out of the awe and started feeling nervous and worried .At that point I felt how safe and secure I was with my father wherever I went .Just enjoying the things as I knew he is there to look after me . I felt lonely and I started tearing up.
The insecurity I felt because of his absence was pulling me back so I dailed his number , when I was about to press the green button I thought for a moment why I came this far ? then I kept my phone back proving my second brave step ..
I went to an old gentleman who was standing with his wife few steps away from me with no luggage so I went to him and told that it was my first flight and I have no idea what to do next and asked him to help me out. He was shocked seeing me alone with just one big bag and full of worries .
I was not surprised by his expression beacuse even though i was eighteen years old but I look sixteen or fifteen .
He laughed and said it's okay than told me what to do .I thanked him many times with big bright smile he was an angle for me. ......
I was done with the formalities and waiting for my flight . Whenever someone leaves I worried if it was my flight . Finally I decided to go to a lady and told her to inform me when it's my flight even though I was full of embarresment of knowing nothing ..
while waiting I made my mind to kick off my shyness and said it's ok to not know these things ,it's ok to ask strangers simple things . After staring at everything around me as a whole new thing it was my turn to go .I went inside the plane and asked the air hostess to show my seat and she with a sweet smile on her face showed me my seat .
She was really pretty .After everyone settled down some instructions were given and the attendants showed some safety actions without a word saying .
The plane started running and I grabbed my seats with the fear that it will start shaking heavily while flying but everything was really smooth . shockingly I was really comfortable and calm and acted like it was not my first flight.The lady served food after few hours and it was really delicious. I read my book to pass my time and finally I was there .The moment I stepped out of plane my heart started beating hardly ,I started murmuring anything and my palm foot were sweating ..
I looked for washroom and almost wandered there . I put my foot out of the airport and I took a breathe deeply with wide smile and a spark in my eyes ..I took a cab and headed to the hotel .I called my parents assured them that i am perfectly safe and fine ..My eyes found each and every view from out of the window so fascinating ,my hair was flying in the air my hands going up and down with the flow of wind at that movement I forgot about all worries and I truly felt that I was truly living my life ...I smiled , I could feel the happiness all over my body. From onwards that moment I knew what I truly love and what I was born to do .......
