Everything I wish for

Athena's POV

It's been 13 years since I last saw the outside properly so much has changed and it has developed so much. Today is 23rd May 20XX and I'm finally returning home but is the place still my home where I have not stayed for 13 years, with parents whom I have not seen for 13 years and just spoken over calls that too just a few times in these years? I don't even know if they will recognize me. The service of flight has gotten so much better since the last time I travelled on a plane was to go to my institute. It was a 12-hour long flight so I planned to take a nap as about 8 hours were still left for the plane to land. I closed my eyes and soon fell into darkness. My short nap lasted for 8 hours I opened my eyes when the air hostess was announcing the landing. As soon as the plane came to a halt and the door was pushed open everybody started to rush I was still seated I don't like crowded places. There were some other people too sitting and waiting. I finally decided to get down from the plane. I took my handbag and went to the door. I could feel someone staring at me so turned in that direction an air hostess was staring at me and noticed her cheeks glowing red as soon as I turned. I don't have time for this I just turned and got down from the plane, collected my baggage and moved towards the exit. I noticed 2 people in black suits holding a signboard with my name on it.

Even if I stand in front of them they will never know who I am cause they have never seen me. I walked towards them and said that it was me who they were waiting for. They were suspicious in the beginning until I showed my id card. I got my id card from the institute its literally in the same country so they take the responsibility for the student's nationality id card. They offered to carry my luggage but I stopped and carried it myself. After 2 hour's drive, I reached home but no one was there they were probably at work. It didn't matter it made no difference in my life. A maid probably led me to my room which only had a bed, a coffee table, a bookshelf, and an empty closet. I unpacked and took showered in cold water you ask why cause I enjoy it it makes me feel more relaxed. I was quite hungry so I went downstairs to find something to eat. Looking for the kitchen consumed my energy and unnecessary time, and finally, I did find the kitchen. But I also found the maid who had opened the door for me. I just looked around the kitchen it was so different from the one 13 years ago. My train of thought was interrupted by the maid asking me if I needed anything I didn't know if I was disturbing her but I proceeded to tell her to prepare me a cup of black coffee if she had time, she nodded and started to prepare for the coffee.

there was a big space with a couch and a glass table in front of it and a few decorations around it maybe this is what they call a living room. This was a space during my time. The sound of the door opening made me turn my head there was a young boy probably the age of 11 or 12 standing there with a confused look on his face. He walked closer to me but he had to look at me with his back and neck bent backwards cause he was short. Someone else too walked in after some time I looked up at the familiar face of a woman.
