I was walking down the sidewalks of Albanasia with my baggage. Both my hands were full with loads of luggage that i had been carrying all the way from the airport to the taxi waiting at the entrance and from the taxi to the present place where I had been walking for quite sometime now. I had my sunglasses resting on my head helping in keeping my brezzy brown hair in place. Though it was sunny and warmer than it had been the last time I had visited this place, which was a couple of years back, not a trickle of sweat ran down my head even in this scorching heat. Maybe, i had grown immune to heat or maybe, there was something different about the air of this place as compared to the present and years back.

I guess 4 years ago? Yes! Four complete years ago this place was so humid and dirty that I happened to soak myself in mud just when I stepped out of the car.

No. you were being very clumsy then and you didn't watch your step and tripped from the car and that's how your face met mud.

A voice in my head retorted.

Yeah right!

I remember Aaron, my brother holding his stomach with one hand and laughing as I wiped my face with the tissue he held out to me. I can't forget him casting me funny glances while I asked the hotel manager to hurry up and give me my room keys so that I could quickly go and change into a pair of clean clobbers. Funny how I remembered that incident till date and don't remember where exactly was that hotel situated. Infact I didn't even remember the name.
It was a nice hotel. Affordable, clean rooms, good room services, welcoming staff and not to forget the amazing food presented to us each day on the menu.
Oh, how I still have the funny taste of the special cuisine of the chef, at the tip of my tongue. I licked my lips. The dining room was decorated as if it was some five-star hotel, which it was precisely. With beautiful chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling and a classy set of furniture, that place looked adorbs.

As far as I remembered it was one of Aaron's friends Hotels. Now, imagine me all soaked in wet mud entering this high class hotel where mostly high profile people would stay for a couple of days or meet up. It was such an embarrassing situation for me then and Aaron my beloved, beloved brother made it even more interestingly attractive by laughing and casting glances with a hint of smirk as well as the emotion of laughter on his face that every person there who were in deep conversations was forced to glance our way.

'Ouch!', coming back to reality a stone made a very much stony contact with my feet and in turn I gave it a more stonier kick back. It landed in a pit a few feet away from where I stood.
That little piece of paper!

'Hah! There it goes, back to where it came from.' , I said aloud.

After walking like a dinosaur for what felt like a mile I stopped and asked for someone to guide me to the address I was in search of. The people here had been very polite even the last time I had come here. They were all nice people, genuine, sweet and welcoming.
One of the ladies around guided me with a bright smile on her face. I smiled and thanked her for the help and proceeded towards my destination with all my luggage literally on top of me. I covered half a distance when I twisted my leg and fell to the ground.

Wow! How lucky I was.
At the day of my arrival like earlier I had to trip and fall and hurt some part of my body? I think this place really hates me, that's why even though the living creatures are welcoming and polite, it's non living creatures are a bitch to me. The stone, the ground all of those belonging to mother earth hate me sincerely. It makes me feel so much better, with all the luggage on my shoulders that couldn't bare resting like a queens arm on the handle of the couch (that's me) falls off on the ground now, revealing from 1 one of my bags all that was stored inside.
