The pilots who safely landed the aircraft were rewarded with a flurry of traditional applause, the only one who never clapped was Cal's neighbor, who looked out the window with the same interest as if they were still above the ground, and did not rush to the exit, as other passengers hurried.
Having passed the main stream of people, Cal rose from his seat, and then stretched out his hand to his neighbor to exchange a farewell handshake.
- All the best - Cal said holding out his hand.
- Perhaps this is not our last meeting, my friend. In response, shaking his hand, the stranger continued to sit still.
At the exit from the airport, mr. Goldy, in huge but beautiful-looking shoes on him, in long but not very shorts, the color of photograph from space, in which a purple hue predominated, in a loose cap with a straight visor and a jacket that he put on over a T-shirt, as beautiful as and all of his probably vast wardrobe. Goldy stood out from the crowd the way white stands out against black, and Cal, stepping on unfamiliar land, caught his friend with his first glance and hurried to him. Instead of a friendly hug or at least a strong handshake, the first thing Goldy did when Cal was already a few steps away from him, about to joyfully greet his friend, Goldy pulls out a loudspeaker from nowhere, and draws the attention of those around him with the words: "Attention! Attention! Flight under number 0399, which has the honor of transporting my dear friend, landed and finally gave us the opportunity to do what we do, but together, so hurry to your friends, family and loved ones, I wish you all always be in joy and health. Please give my friend a round of applause. "Goldy himself clapped first, followed by Cal in a confused smile, followed by someone else from the crowd, and then, surprisingly both, the idea was supported by airport security officers, taxi workers and even people passing by shouted something like Oooooo. Getting into one of the Goldy cars, the first thing Cal put on the sunglasses that were on the panel, pushed the chair back all the way, lowered the back, threw his feet on the panel and the guys started to move, leaving long evidence of their presence on the pavement. Upon arrival at Goldy's estate, Cal hastened to clean up and sit down at a table teeming with all kinds of seafood, drinks and sweets, in order to enjoy them in the company of a good friend.
- Well, sit down at last, otherwise the food will soon turn into illiquid. Ha-ha.
- Today you are at the height bro, I applaud with everything I have, I was met beautifully, and you don't forget to joke, and cooked shark soup... thank you.
- I am very glad of your visit, mind you, it took place only because the decision was spontaneous, and not as you said the last time, now in a month, two months later, and so on, just never arrived.
- You're right, it was. I myself am a supporter of spontaneous movements, only recently it has become difficult to perform them.
- It's hard not to do it, it's hard to decide! But this is a story about losers. What's happening with you? For the first time I see you a little confused.
- Will you let me enjoy my food? Or will a "good cop" jump out of the bushes and let me have a bite first?
- Ha-ha-ha, I guess I missed you, along with your insight and sense of humor.
Cal preferred to extend the eating process, to the point that some part of the meal often cooled down, and conversations with interesting people, such as Goldy, gave the feeling of a festive feast.
- Mmm... what a pleasant taste this tea has, remember it, I want to drink this tea exclusively from now on.
- Try everything! Even if the food looks tasteless. As far as I know, you all the time eat several dishes of European and Asian cuisine, although there is a great variety and variety not only in food, my friend. Therefore, I tried to pull you out of your usual places and plunge you into something new, just as it was with me, and I am sure with many others in this world. The result is stunning, people improve, discover new things in themselves and simply rejoice in knowing this wonderful world.
- I completely agree with you, and let it seem like another excuse, but my vision of this issue...
- Leave your vision and do it at least once in mine.
- That's what I'll do while I'm here with you. But doing everything in the hope of learning something is not a very reasonable way. Why do you reject the plan I have developed in this matter?
- My friend, take a look at the last two or three years of your life, they are minus and inactive. Are they not? All the time you refused to fly to me, referring to your action plan. But it is not uncommon, no matter how much a person makes an effort at the moment when life prompts to look at the situation from a different angle and change his mind, I am 1000% sure if a person sticks to his opinion, he will make a mistake and a lot will pass by. You have always been spontaneous in such matters, where did the framework come from? And don't try to refute me! You are already here, you are already with me, and you were not here according to your plan, so eat a variety of foods, but limitedness, - Goldy pointed his index finger up and added with a smile. - Leave to the limited.
- I'm afraid I ran out of arguments bro, ha-ha.
- And I'm afraid that this is again your plan, as you call it there, a change of strategy. Ha-ha-ha.
- Honestly, I'm a little confused in all this.
- Now is not the best time for deep discussions and reflections, eat up soon. I want to show you something.
