Inhaling the summer air in Capital Z again. After 6 years, she thought she would not set foot in her birthland ever again. Wearing her baseball cap and big rimmed black sunglasses, she walked inside the arrival area in the airport vigilantly. That feeling that someone was watching her behind even though she tried to cover her face. Even Farrah who’s her closest friend would not easily recognize her.
Though she was trembling inside, Arabella had prepared herself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually when she was on the plane. It took her 3 days to arrive in Capital Z with two connecting flights. She had chosen the cheapest way of traveling so she opted to book connecting flights and also to appease her tension of getting to Capital Z directly.
The air in Capital Z gave her so much familiarity with everything. The happy moments and the unexpected shift of her life. She still felt hurt and horrified whenever she went back to that tragedy of her family in the past.
Bill Sky.
