I was in the queue of embarkation at the airport of the nice port city of Arabia, the sacred land with my mom and younger brother. We were coming back to Dhaka leaving my father there. We were bit upset as usual. It happens each time we leave him. Suddenly a lady from outside the queue called my mother and she said one of her daughter is also traveling in the same flight with us and if we could look after her as she was going all by herself for the first time. Then she introduced her with us and thanked us. We passed the embarkation area and sat together in the lounge. Then my mom started talking to her. The girl was so strange. She talked to my mom but did not talked to my brother or me. The flight was late and we had to stay at the lounge for about one and a half-hour. By that time we knew lot about her. She also asked about us. She was two classes junior to me. She told her name but it was so strange that I could not understand. Her father was a doctor at Mecca. She has one younger brother and she loves him very much. All these information we get when my mother was trying to make her feel good as she was traveling alone and was upset for her family.

We bought some pastry and offered her to have some. But she said that she don’t usually take any food during journey. I thought she was shy and was trying to avoid food from strangers. Anyway time passed by and we heard the announcement for boarding on the plane. We were travelling in economy class and she was an executive class passenger and she was the only one. After take off she came to my mother and said that she wants to sit with us. My mother and brother were sitting in one row and I was just in the front row. She sat behind me. Then for the first time I talked to her and he also respond. Then we talked for some time and by that time I knew about her address in
Dhaka. That was for the first time in my life I talked to some unknown girl and I felt something new which can not be described.

The flight landed in Dubai airport and some new passengers came in. One of the passengers got the sit number that was occupied by the girl. She requested him to take one other sit. Then we watched a movie Biman played for entertainment. I still remember the name of the movie. It was ‘Blame on the bell boy’ one of the actors was very popular at that time he played
a role in the comedy serial ‘The Perfect Stranger’ Bulky was his name in that serial. We laughed a lot watching the movie. She was also enjoying and I had a very strange good feeling, which I had never before. I traveled this route
by Biman several time before and naturally it take even hours to reach thee
destination. But this time when the flight attendant announced that we have reached ZIA International Airport, I was bit shocked to know and thought how
time flew.

She got her luggage quick and had no taxable item, she wanted to wait for us but my mother told her to go. She left and after some times I felt like I was
dreaming. I was such a fool that I did not ask her name, phone number of address I just know where she lives and where does she studies. After reaching home I felt like something is missing from my life and I could not get normal for a long time. Whenever I heard someone saying that he or she studies in Shahin School, I asked about her out of the information I knew. Every time I traveled there after that I walked the whole plane looking for the face. Still I search her. But I know I will never get her. Now I feel that was a sweet dream for me which left a big scratch in my mind. I know it was nothing special for her and she must have forgotten everything about that journey. I will always remember it and will enjoy the feeling.
