Heartbeat

Prologue

Today is the day. The one that I have been waiting for years. Today, me and my best friend, are going on our first trip together. We fly to Greece! What? I can not imagine how excited I am. This destination was my dream destination for many years and now I am hopping on foot. We arrived at the airport around 6:30 in the morning. Our flight was at 9 a.m. I had not managed to close my eyes at night, I was too anxious and excited at the same time. The occasion was for my twenty-first birthday. So, we were there, sitting in a small bistro, waiting for our flight. Compared to Elle, I seemed to have spent 30 minutes in a music festival because I was so hot and my face was cover with some sweat. You had two version of people, me sweating my life and biting my nails and you have Elle all calm and serene looking through her phone. Me, Malia Tiffin would be soon on the beaches of Greece.

Elle: Calm down!

Malia : I'm trying! I swear I'm trying! You don't imagine at all what am I feeling right now, god!

I want this trip to be the one I remember all my life. It was so important that I want everything to be perfect and that nothing would be missing! So, I have my special coffee with full of sugar so I can say that it's not a coffee anymore. Plus, it gives me more energy for our flight. It is almost 1 hour before our flight and still no customs officer as we thought. Ahhhh ... This passport story is going to drive me crazy. A lady approaches me and my best friend and asks to follow us. We knew very well that it is for the history of the passport. She leads us to a dark room and very small, it looked like an interrogation room. She points to the chairs behind the table for us to sit down. I look at Elle, giving a look like that : Really?

The lady : We just want to make sure everything's is okay.

Malia : Does that relate to my passeport?

The lady : Yeah, it's seems to be something wrong with it. We will need to search for something that inconsistent and I will need you both to open your suitcases please.

Elle : Can we, at least, know why you want us to just open our luggages and just let you guys inspect it?

The lady : I will demand to you to be calm and don't make this more difficult.

Malia : It's okay Elle. You know that it take a while before I can leave the country.

The lady : Your case said that your passport is not okay with our laws. So we gonna keep your suitcases and check on it. It's gonna take a while but you're gonna be okay for your flight.

Elle : Thank you.

So the lady brought us to a place to make us wait until the verification of our suitcases. Since my trip with my family, it has become difficult to cross the border. So me and Elle sit on two uncomfortable little chairs for 45 minutes. I can tell you that me and my patience, it does not mix well together. I am about to explode if the procedure will last any longer. We see the door open on the woman of earlier.

Lady : That's it, we checked your suitcases with a fine comb and we found nothing unusual. So, we apologize for this delay and we wish you a good flight and a good stay.

She gives us our bags and I know it's really cliché, but I never t I would see life in another light and from that moment my life belonged to me and I could finally enjoy it . My life could finally take a turn.
