He looked around the spacious room, packed with people waiting for their plane schedule. He guessed he was one of them as he checked his watch. He was catching the last flight home, but there was some delay.
He sat in the waiting area, wondering what time they would depart. He had no more reason to be here. He just wanted to return where he belonged and nurse his heart back to health if possible.
"Are there any other flights that I can take?" He asked the woman at the ticketing booth. He did not feel like staying in this place longer than necessary. He was willing to take any other flights that would leave soon.
"I am sorry, but the officials grounded all the planes for safety and security reasons." The woman behind the desk said. But they were not offering more details at the time.
