If things go your way, you thank your stars. And if things doesn't go your way, likewise, you should thank your stars. Things happen for a reason.
Yvonne didn't know her day was full of "interesting" activities when she left the mansion to go and pick up her best friend at the airport.
Lu Lina had called the night before and said she will be arriving early in the morning.
Yvonne in a hurry to leave the house, didn't eat her breakfast. She took her purse but forgot to.....
They live in a very wealthy superb area and all cars coming and going were driven by drivers of different household. Taxi drivers find it a waste of time and energy to come to such an area because they wouldn't get any passenger.
So, Yvonne had to walk for quiet some distance before she could hail for a taxi.
"Can you take me to the airport?" Yvonne asked the driver
"No problem miss, get in" the driver replied
It was early morning so traffic wasn't congested. After thirty minutes, the car came to a halt, Yvonne looked through the glass and saw the airport a few mile walk away.
She opened her purse so she could pay the fare but, her hand felt nothing.
Nothing!
Yvonne looked into her purse and was dumbfounded at what she saw.
The purse was completely empty! Her cell phone, handkerchief, not even a dollar was in sight !
What happened ? what should she do now?
She was thinking of what could have happened to leave her purse empty when it suddenly downed on her.
Two days ago, she had taken everything out of her purse so she could clean it.
Why didn't she put everything back? she is someone who always fill her purse with basic necessities like handkerchief, lipstick, hand sanitizer, her wallet with some cash and the likes in case of emergency.
Just like today being an emergency for her but........
She looked to the driver and forced a smile, "uhmm...."
"Miss,don't tell me you forgot your wallet, this trick is...." the driver interrupted Yvonne but was soon interrupted
" No, am not playing tricks. I really forgot my wallet".
Her explanation made the driver more furious. He got out of the car and opened the back seat door. Yvonne embarrassingly came out and stood before the driver.
She was cracking her brain to up with a solution when she suddenly thought of Lina.
"Can I please borrow your cell phone?"
Yes, Lina told her she will be arriving early this morning so probably she's in right? She could ask her to come and pay the fare.
The driver irritably fished out his phone from his pocket and gave it to her.
Yvonne whose hope was slightly lifted took the phone and began typing but she couldn't remember Lina's number. She cracked and cracked her brain but no result came up !
"Why can't I recollect the number?" Yvonne thought
Through her panic and embarrassment, she had forgotten that she's never put anyone's number into memory except hers.
"What's the use of pressuring my brain if I can just refer from the phone!" She would always say
"How embarrassing! ,so now what!"
She could see the impatient on the driver's face.
Some distance from where Yvonne stood, a white car was packed with a guy leaning on it. The guy had soft features, he looked very handsome and very much like a playboy.
He had just exited the airport when he saw a girl come out of a taxi. Her look was breathtaking. She looked so angelic that his interest was piqued.
He saw how embarrassed she looked and also saw the impatient on the driver's face.
There were only two reasons for such reactions;
One could be about the fare, and the other could be because they're waiting for someone.
But his instinct told him it was the former !
He sent his driver to go and ask and settle whatever it is.
Few minutes later, the driver together with Yvonne came and stood before the handsome guy.
"Sir, this miss wanted to come and thank you personally" the driver said
Daniel Tang, the handsome guy looked at Yvonne and was stunned for a second. His eyes didn't deceive him.
The girl who stood before him was truly a beauty.
"Thank you very much sir" Yvonne bowed her head and thanked
"Daniel, that's my name, not sir" Daniel twitched his lips
Yvonne looked at Daniel and found him quiet familiar.
"Can I at least know your name Miss?" Daniel said
"Yvonne, Yvonne Qin" She told
"Should I drop you somewhere?" Daniel asked
"oh no, am here to meet my friend, she's arriving today, thank you for your offer".
Yvonne turned and left after speaking. Daniel didn't try to stop her, he just stared in amazement at the departing figure.
He was intrigued, and his interest in this girl had risen very high.
Yvonne stood at the waiting lodge with her small eyes widely scanning through the arrivals.
Its been two hours and there's no sign of Lina. She was getting worried.
" Was there some changes in her flight ?"
Yvonne decided to go back to the mansion to retrieve her phone so she could call Lina.
The weather had become gloomy when she exited the airport, there were signs of rain.
Because she had no money on her, she took to walking. Maybe a good Samaritan will give her a lift !
As hopeful as we may sound sometimes, we end up being crushed with our hope. Yvonne thought maybe she will get a lift, but sadly,it didn't happen.
She had walked for ten minutes when it suddenly begin to rain. She wanted to find shelter but there was none.
Twenty minutes in her walk, she got to a bus station, but because she didn't have any money and didn't want others to look down on her, she continued to walk in the rain.
Good thing it was only rainfall and nothing like lightning and thunders.
How embarrassed she felt when the driver thought she was trying to trick him. she didn't want a repeat of that !.
This journey back home was nothing compared to the number of times she had to walk in the rain for long distances.
