I think you might have read part 1 of this chapter. You might have realised that life in Australia has been really incredible so far !

Another thing I've realised is that - less people , less bullshit !

Now , let's keep my job aside and now it's time to visit the Opera House. I'm very excited.

Once I got there , obviously there was a lot of crowd. That was natural Nothing abnormal.
There was a huge que to enter the monument. Eveyone were pushing Eveyone. There was one push that was so hard that I accidentally bumped ito someone and that person dropped her ticket to the Opera House.

I looked up to  apologize. I look up and I  see this women. She looked soo amazing, I got butterflies in my stomach. She looked Indian. Her hair was medium length , just longer than her shoulders . She was fair. Her eyes just looked so beautiful. I couldn't stop staring at her ! Oh my goodness , I hadn't seen a girl more beautiful than her in my whole life time. I lost myself in my own world.

After a minute or so I came back to reality. I immediately realised that I had to help her.

She told me that the ticket was very important as she had a Job training session in the Opera House too improve team coordination , And she had to go at all cost.

Now she dropped her ticket. Eveyone stamped in the ticket without realising it. Now the ticket was unusable.

I looked at her. I couldn't see the reaction on her face. She wasn't angry with me. She looked like as if she is going to cry any minute. It was so cute.

I immediately offered her my ticket to her. She denied it. After me insisting her to take it she took it. She said she would pay for it later. I told her her that there was no need for her to pay me anything , it's cause of me that she is in this condition , so it was totally fine.

Before she entered she told me after my training I'll be waiting for you , let's discover the monument together !

I obviously could not say No !

I ran to the ticketing office just to find another huge que. It took me 30 mins to get myself another ticket !

It had been almost an hour since that women hand entered and finally I entered as well

We found a tour guide and he began explaining -

"Designed by Danish architect , but completed by an Australian architectural team headed up by Peter Hall, the building was formally opened on 20 October 1973 after a gestation beginning with Utzon's 1957 selection as winner of an international design competition. The , led by the , , authorised work to begin in 1958 with Utzon directing construction. The government's decision to build Utzon's design is often overshadowed by circumstances that followed, including cost and scheduling overruns as well as the architect's ultimate resignation."

It was indeed a wonderful experience in The Opera House.

I asked her what was her name. She told me her name was Ishika. We had a good conversation while we were drinking cofee.

She told me she just got a job as a HR specialist here in Sydney.

I told her that I was the coach of FC SYDNEY UNITED. She didn't watch football so she didn't know.

Then after we had a good time drinking cofee she got a call and told me she had to go !

I wonder what that call was all about ?

She just disappeared later.

I couldn't get her number or any way to contact her.

I hope this won't be the last time I see her !

My visits to ths Sydney Opera House will be a memorable one !

Until next time !
