*3 days later...*
I was back to work, my 5 days of leave were over and I couldn't wait to fly again but I can't lie that I thought about Mina a couple of times. She gave me her phone number but I didn't give her mine. So I hesitated to call her for a while, and when she left my condo unit I was quite worried if she made it home safely. Suddenly I feel an arm going across my back and the palm resting on my left shoulder,
" What are you thinking about Jino?" my cabin crew team leader asked me.
" nothing much Zayn, just about this girl I met a few days ago.." I replied.
" ahh women issues eh? Well just clear your mind till we reach London aite, let's go to work." Zayn comforted me. I just nodded in reply.
" anyway, Sarah is on this flight today . " Zayn warned me.
" Oh shit " I said to myself. Sarah is a senior stewardess that I met when I first joined Singapore Airlines as a steward in training and from there, it seems like she was always trying to get close to me. It's pretty clear that she's interested in me but I just let it off thinking she might lose interest but no, it's been 3-4 months and she's still chasing me.
Ah screw it. I quickly fastened my walking pace to catch up with Zayn who was already at the Air Bridge while I was at the boarding gate.
*A few minutes later...*
We were preparing to receive passengers for the flight when I heard a familiar voice call me out....
Ahh damn it. She saw me. Sarah fucking saw me. I decided to play it cool and just entertain her thirsty ass as always." Jino!!! Hii !! Heyy why didn't you tell me that you were going to be on this flight too?" Sarah asked me.
" there was a last minute flight change for me, so my schedule had to be rescheduled only yesterday. And Hi Sarah, haven't seen you in a while, so... Are you married yet? " I tried to just act like I wasn't uncomfortable with her presence.
" nahh, the man I want is so clueless about the fact that I like him a lot. " she replied.
"Tskkk... Ohh I know bitch, I know.... My heart wishes to scream it into your face to stop pestering me with it but that would be really mean " i spoke in my mind.
Just then, Zayn who was at the aircraft door gestured to me to receive the first class passengers first so I could direct them to their respective suites and I nodded in response to his orders. I excused myself from Sarah's sights and went to receive the first class passengers.
I checked every boarding pass thoroughly and cross-checked them with the PNL (Passenger Name List) for First Class Passengers and on that Flight there were only 3 first class passengers in the 8 suites configuration on this Airbus A380. Just then, Zayn tooked the PNL from me and checked the business class passengers. I just wanted to get the day's flight over and done with. Soon all the passengers were on board, Ramp services finished loading baggage and refueling of aircraft and we were about to be pushed back for taxi to the runway under the aircraft's own power. Sarah did the in-flight emergency instructions in economy class, I did business and the first class passengers were inspected by Zayn himself. And then the intercom went on....
"Cabin crew to your stations" I heard the captain say and immediately went to the crew seats.
We departed Singapore at 1.40pm and the flight was gonna be nearly 14 hours long which meant that there will be a crew shift and I can rest for a while. I focused on serving the business class passengers for nearly 7 hours before having a 3 hour break which I slept through in the crew rest compartments which are hidden within the aircraft itself.
