"Meet Her"
- He is packing his bag
- His plane is flying in two hours
- He is finally going there
- He will meet her
- The flight was on the american airlines
- It's going to take 13 hours
- But that's nothing for his pounding heart
- Pounding with love
- And anticipation
- He rides the car, it's manual gear
- He never wanted to learn but he had to
- He had some creeps from driving
- Because he used to watch lots of accidents and traffic disasters
- Regardless, he drives his way to the airport
- The road is surprisingly empty
- Maybe because it was raining
- He loved rain
- It gave him a sense of warmth
- On his way to the airport
- He witnessed something rather unusual
- He saw 5 black cats throughout the way, although animals never lived in that place
- He ignores, there is something more important to focus on
- He arrives to the airport
- Weighs his bag and goes to the transit
- While waiting for the gate to open
- An old man gets close from him
- He was disturbed
- What the old man whispered was shocking
- But he was like: "meh it couldn't be true"
- The gate opens for passengers
- "Have a safe flight sir"
- He felt uneasy
- He picked his seat the back
- Near the window
- It was his first time going to the US
- So excitement was filling him in and out
- But that uneasiness remained in his head
- The plane takes off
- The rain has stopped
- Everything seems perfect
- Just need to reach the location
- He brought a book with him
- He was a knowledgeable and thoughtful guy
- Unlike many of his peers
- He had finished his medicine degree and planned to study psychiatry
- That book was about how our hearts work on the emotional side
- It was a suitable topic for him
- He surfs through the pages easily
- He is a fast reader
- He finishes the book in 4 hours
- But damn, there are still 9 hours left
- He didn't like to sleep but it was his only choice
- The plane was flying over the atlantic by that time
- He takes a nap
- Well not exactly
- After another 4 hours he wakes up
- But
- Everybody looked scared
- He asks the lady sitting next to him
- "The captn just informed us that there is going to be a massive storm coming our way"
- "And the chances of avoiding it is low"
- He was shocked yet again
- First thing coming to his mind was his parents
- He loved them so much to where one cant even describe it
- They gave him so much of their lives for his sake
- However
- Although he was scared
- He had faith
- "I will live"
- "I still have things to fulfill
- The lady was surprised but comforted to be at the side of an optimistic person
- The captain estimated the time of impact to be 1 hour at most
- All the passengers aboard took the precautions
- Everyone is ready
- But they are still scared
- The struggle in their minds between life and death is exhausting
- Without a warn
- An abrupt cut of electricity hits the plane
- Darkness fell upon everything
- Thunder is roaring like a hungry lion
- The captain shouts
- For the last time
- "BRACE FOR IMPACT!!"
- Last thing he heard was a strong explosion
- But somehow
- He managed to stay awake
- The plane was going down
- It was just like the shows he watched
- "Am I going to die"
- The wind is blowing through the plane
- There was already casualties from the initial impact
- The lady beside him has passed out
- He sees a kid on the opposite sude crying for his mom
- He can't reach
- The plane is still free falling
- After 1 minute he starts seeing land
- It was a forest
- "Ok calm down, you will manage through"
- "I have to meet her"
- 10 seconds
- 9
- He changes his position for minimum damage
- 6
- 5
- 4
- 3
- 2
- "God, help me"
- Everything is dark
- No sound
- No voice
- No air
- Nothing
- Just void
- "I died?"
- He struggles
- There is that light at the end of the tunnel
- Everybody talked about it
- But he is experiencing it RIGHT NOW
- "I HAVE TO FIGHT"
- "MOM, DAD, I AM NOT DYING YET"
- Slowly
- Things get coloured
- He starts hearing noises
- Crick crick crick
- He finally opens his eyes
- "Thank God"
- He cries out in rather weak voice
- "YES"
- He tries to get up
- But his right leg was crushed
- He was still glad
- He finds a small log close to him
- Uses it to get up and as a crunch
- "Ok, what to do"
- Everyone seems to have died
- Yet he decides to search for survivors
- "Anybody here? Anyone still alive?"
- There was nothing but echo
- He looks around him
- It is such a deep forest
- Could there be predators here
- He examines the floral aree around him
- Maybe he can guess his location
- "Omg, it matches"
- He realized he was in Utah
- Should he wait there and wait for help?
- Or go on?
- He was able to walk, although his leg was hurting like hell
- He learned how to surpass pain from his mom
- She was a strong willed woman
- He plans to stay there for an hour
- Then get moving
- However utah had mountains
- And he possibly on one of them
- "I will wait for help then"
- 5 hours passes
- No signs of help
- He ulis getting hungry
- Gladfully there was enough supplies in the wreckage
- "I think this will suffice for a week"
- He was a thin guy
- Never eats much
- "Welp, guess I will have to do something before I die from boredom"
- He takes out a small el he had in his jacket
- Sun is up
- He is a mess
- When will help arrive
- He eats a couple of chocolate bars
- "I gotta get moving"
- He crawls to his crunch
- But
- He saw people there
- They were about 25 men
- Searching the wreckage for anything of value
- He wanted to shout for help
- But they were armed
- "Oh damn They are definitely a gang"
- "God what do I do now"
- One of them senses movement
- "SOMEONE IS THERE!"
- "OH SHIT"
- He crawls as fast as he can
- But he is paralyzed
- He recites his prayers
- He will definitely die now
- "Who are you kid?"
- He was puzzeled
- "Why didn't they shoot me"
- "I am a doctor"
- "Great, you will be of use then"
- "Use? Oh hell no, I am not working with them?!"
- "Tie him up, jason needs immediate help"
- Who is jason? Who are they? What do they want?
- His mind was storming with loads of things
- "Ah, so your name is?"
- "Call me A"
- Alright A, we need you to treat our comrade
- Then we will let you leave
- "Who are you anyways?"
- "You better not get involved kid"
- A reaches their hideout
- His leg still burns like hot chili
- "So where is this jason"
- Upstairs was a huge monster lying on the bed
- "Holy"
- "That's human?!"
- He examines his body
- He was injured by the plane debris
- "I need equipment"
- Surprisingly, the gang had a full pledged set that any doctor would dream of
- "Wow, that's fancy"
- "Just do your job"
- "Ok, ok"
- It took 5 hours to close the wound
- They tie up A again and station him in the living room
- "We don't want you to get bored, we will also bring you food dw"
- "HEY! I want to leave NOW"
- "Be patient, we can't drive you anywhere"
- "Ugh"
- "Wait till your injury is healed then we will put you at the airport"
- He grumbles
- "At least they don't look like bad guys"
- 2 weeks passes
- The news are talking about the crashing plane
- And claim there were no survivors
- "BUT I AM HERE YOU *****"
- A developed a friendship with the people in the hideout
- A still wants to go to California though
- To meet "her"
- He goes to the boss's office
- He is a kind old man
- "Big Daddy, isn't it time for me to leave?"
- "I have goals to finish"
- "Yes I know and I apologize for derailing you"
- "But hold in longer"
- "Please"
- "Alright old man"
- "Can I ask something though?"
- "Sure"
- "What do you do exactly?"
- "Well"
- "I assume you are a gang"
- "But you don't look like bad guys"
- "Well son"
- "We are one of the biggest two families in the region"
- "We had a dispute with the other family"
- "An old revenge"
- The Jasons and The Alpons
- Rumors say that bloodshed is never stopping between them
- The police can't even do a thing
- And the army took a neutral stance
- But today was the day
- Operation Yellow 3
- "Exterminate any armed Jason or Alpon"
- A didnt know about that
- But everyone else in the hideout knew
- They fortified the bunker
- Midnight
- Everything seems calm
- Just like the day when the plane took off
- A was trying to sleep
- Suddenly
- He hears gunshots
- "Is it the Alpons?"
- He goes downstairs
- Nobody is there
- "They are probably fighting"
- "I have to heal the injured then"
- He opens the door to rendezvous with Big Dadd7
- But
- He trembled
- Everyone is dead
- Corpses scattered everywhere
- NO
- "WHY?!"
- SWAT team appears in front of him
- "He isn't armed"
- "Don't shoot"
- A was crying
- One of the swat team mistook that for a sign that A was a Jason
- "Boom"
- A was shot in the heart
- "YOU IDIOT"
- "HE WASN'T ARMED"
- The team rushes to A
- "He needs help"
- They put A in the helio
- And off to the nearest hospital
- Yet again, A finds himself in that dark place
- But this time
- It wasn't light that appeared
- He saw "her" image
- "God, why am I fighting so hars just to meet you"
- "Shouldn't I just give up"
- "But then he hears her voice"
- "A, I am waiting for you"
- "Oh for god sake"
- "One more time, will ya?"
- A wakes up from his coma
- He was in a very critical situation
- But yet again, he still THRIVES
- The hospital recognizes him as one of the missing passengers of that cursed flight
- A is now on all newspapers
- "This kid IS the true survivor"
- "The kid with two lives"
- After a couple of weeks
- He leaves the hospital
- A is granted a free flight and care to wherever he goes for his valiant fighting spirit
- A didn't like the fuss around him
- He just wants
- "To meet her"
- He takes the plane to Cali
- He arrives
- Finally
- After 3 months of the crash
- His love for her and to meet her was the fuel of his heart
- "Is there going to be another obstacle?"
- He checks the address again
- And rides the taxi
- The suspense
- His heart is pounding just like 3 months ago on that plane
- "Will I finally see her?"
- The house is in front of him
- All he needs to do is ring the bell
- "Ding dong"
- "Hello"
- "Hey?"
- "Is this mrs Lau house?"
- "Oh, sorry young man"
- "What, what's wrong?"
- "Mrs Lau has died in an accident 2 weeks ago after returning from an interview"
- A was literally destroyed
- He was REALLY devastated this time
- Even harder than that plane crash
- "You are joking right?"
- "No sir"
- A smile is drawn on A's face
- "I tried"
- A collapses on himself
- And till this day
- He hasn't woken up from his coma
- In that Dark Room
- "Should I get up again?"
- "What's the purpose"
- "I didn't meet her after all"
- "I fought pointlessly"
- A strong voice shouts at A
- "NO you silly kid"
- "Is that you dad?"
- "Physical meeting wasn't the end of your love"
- "Her love still burns through you, doesn't it?!"
- "Yeah"
- "Then get up"
- "Keep loving her"
- "And keep living in her place"
- That moment
- A remembered the book he read on the plane
- He knew what it meant when your heart hurts
- "Alright then"
- "Guess I have to live again"
- He cries a little
- Then
- Wakes up for the third and last time
