London, winter.

A fairly severe blizzard has caused several piles of snow as high as about a foot along the highway area, including the streets of the City of London. Rows of taxi cars along the road appeared to be covered in snow during the blizzard. From a distance, an old man with his partner is seen, carefully descending the stairs to the subway station. Unlike the children, they looked cheerful and full of laughter playing with the snow by throwing each other with their friends. Towards the next morning to simply reduce the thickness of the snow, workers shoveled snow from the entrance of the Restaurant and Bar, the yards of the houses and the gardens along the road.

After more than a year of not going home, which is certainly due to the busy demands of work as a consultant in a private company, finally the long awaited time has arrived, even though there are so many plans that have not been implemented, however, going home will always be a word That's the most beautiful and the sweetest. It's not the luxury house that I miss, but the friendly and cheerful residents that I always miss when I want to go home.

It seems the morning is happy with my happiness. It was a very clear morning, as bright as the sun over the shadows of the ocean, which made the snow on the leaves and roof tiles slowly melts away. The air is quite a refreshing sweat on the chest. Some young people with their girlfriends seem to be busy running in the morning on the streets in front of the house. An old man looks engrossed in the morning sun, steam appears from his mouth every time he exhales.

I went to the airport by taxi. After arriving at the airport, as usual, I joined the queue to order plane tickets. After waiting for less than an hour, the call from the plane, I was about to board finally arrived. Of course, my heart was very happy, I was so happy it felt like my body was still at the airport, but my mind was already at home. I walked to the plane, got in and started looking for the seat number according to the ticket ordered. Finally, I can sit comfortably while looking around.

From the right side I saw a small child whose facial expression looked tense being calmed by his parents, maybe the child was on an airplane for the first time, I thought. From the other side, two teenage girls are engrossed in taking pictures, on the other hand, a young man with thick glasses is reading a book, ignoring his surroundings, and several flight attendants welcoming the other passengers with polite and friendly facial expressions.

While listening to music, a woman around the age of 25 suddenly sat in the chair next to me, she gave a friendly smile and greeted me with a very friendly tone of voice. I became clumsy made. The woman's face was graceful and charming. Her body is tall, her hair is long and partly brown, her blue eyes are very beautiful, her lips are thick, her nose is sharp, her skin color is black and brown, and one more thing that makes her look a perfect woman, she is also friendly and easy to get along with.

After waiting for a few minutes, the plane that I was on finally took off. All the passengers seemed engrossed in this flight, except for the child from the right side, still looking tensed from the look on his face.

The woman sitting next to me, opened a small bag and took out a snack, chocolate. He offered me while emptying a pack of chocolates, of course, for me, who was shy, it made me a little awkward, but I had to refuse his good intentions, I finally accepted the chocolate. Along the way, I was also invited to chat with him.

"By the way, what's your name?" Ask the girl to open a chat

"My name is Ray. What's your own name?" I answered while asking again

"Introduce me name Lisa, " he answered briefly

I'm not used to chatting with the opposite sex, I feel confused about what to do. Arghh, in my mind, "If I was confident, this young woman might be fun to talk to." But, as if being interrogated, this beautiful and friendly woman kept asking me questions. Asking me where I'm from, what my job is. How old am I, and so on. I got used to it and followed the direction of the chat. Until finally he offered to listen to the song he used to listen to while traveling. We were both engrossed in listening to music by sharing headsets.

"Do you know what this song is about?" Ask me Lisa

"This is the first time I've heard it myself, and the song is good too" I answered

"This is Journey's song, Don't Stop Believing. From the title alone, we can guess that this song teaches us to always believe in hope,” Lisa said

"Hope. Don't humans actually suffer because they have hope?" I asked starting to dare to speak

"Yes, I agree with you, but on the other hand, humans need to have hope for life support so that they are more enthusiastic and not empty. It's just a matter of how much he hopes. Hope can disappoint us if we don't understand ourselves that not everything has to go according to plan. But for some people, hope is very useful," Lisa argued

"Yes, hope also does make us always take positive steps" I said

It doesn't feel like we've finally arrived.

"Hooray, we finally arrived," said Lisa cheerfully

After the plane landed. I myself helped Lisa to tidy up her luggage. After getting off the plane, it turned out that Lisa was already waiting for her father and mother who wanted to pick her up.

"Thank you very much, I want to talk to you while on the trip" said Lisa as she walked away

"You're welcome, thanks for the chocolate and the song" I said

"Okay, see you next time" Lisa replied with a cheerful face as she walked away to her parents

This is the first time I've been this close to a girl. Very impressive for someone like me who is a bit shy. It was fun too. "Argh why didn't I ask for his cellphone number" I said a little regretfully

The End
