When A Heart Gets Broken

Part 39: Jetlag

Lee was boarding the domestic flight to Manila when Rae's plane skidded the runway in Loakan Airport. The mayor's staff was waiting by the airport lobby.

After receiving instructions, they traveled to the mayor's dinner where she will meet the rest of the meducal mission.

Dinner was sumptuous and hospitality was equals.

"Thank you very much for choosing our city as the beneficiary of your medical mission. We are greatly honoured with your presence..."

Rae was dozing off as this is her 30th hr without a decent sleep. Then she heard her name." Nurse Practioner Rae and RN Sylvia are staying at a flower farm. You will love it there." Ok, please just bring us there so I can sleep.

The road to the farm was narrow so she did not notice when they entered a little alcove where the farm is. She can see the warm lighted house from the gate. The moment they entered the gate, she smelled the different scented flowers in the farm. She closed her eyes and tried her best if she can identify every scent but she failed.

" I will take the smaller bedroom Rae. You need the bigger room for all the meds that you brought. Is that okay?"

" Are you sure Sylvia? This room is too big for one person."

" Oh, oh! I think I have to tell you the truth. I do snore classmate...the sound of a truck. I didn't before but I do now. So..." Sylvia's face is eliciting a quick response from her.

" Okay. Take the smaller bedroom then, Rae said shyly. 

Rae's jetlag gave in to the lavender scented bed sheets of the cottage the moment her back touched the soft sheets. For the first time in so many years, Rae was not visited by a dream.
