2 A new beginning
--The Airport, City D--
After 2-hours, the white Alto 800 finally pulled into the airport. After bidding goodbyes to Mom, Dad & Leon, Fiona moved in through the gate. After scanning the luggage, she immediately found herself in the queue for transferring luggage in the plane & getting a check pass. Suddenly her head started spinning with a splitting headache & her vision blacking out. She gently closed her eyes. She saw a toddler near the seating lounge hit by out-of-control luggage van. Immediately, she opened her eyes & began searching for the toddler in her vision. She spotted him immediately near the seating lounge. Next she saw a huge luggage trolley charging towards the child. Almost immediately a commotion broke out.
Fiona left her luggage in the queue & quietly snapped her finger. The world around her quietened down & froze. Slowly, she walked towards the child & moved him out of the trolley's way. Firmly, she walked back to her luggage & again snapped her finger. It came into live with the crashing of the trolley into the seating lounge. Fiona stood in the queue like nothing happened. After handing the luggage, she quickly passed through security check moved for the domestic gate.
In no time, Fiona found herself sitting in a window seat an Air India flight. She quietly thought back to the time when her first vision came. Back then, she was enable to save her little brother, the second time being her mother. But the third time became her biggest regret of her life. She failed to save her sister from dying. She even managed to save the toddler today, being her fourth time. She pushed these thoughts in the back of her head while an air hostess began her announcements, "A few of our team members.....Please tie you seat-belts properly & don't try opening...."
--The Airport 2, City J--
The hustle-bustle of a city life became apparent as Fiona stepped out of the Airport 2. The view lifted her spirit & a smile spread across her face.
"Fiona Wilson?", a boy just her age approached her with a girl behind him, which supposedly was his sister.
"Yes?"
"I'm Peter & this is Piya. Nice to meet you."
Fiona recalled the names of family members of her Mom's best friend's family. She would be staying with them here. So, these were supposedly the son & daughter of Aunt Rosa, Mom's bestie.
"I see. Nice to meet you, too."
"You recognized us?!", Piya cocked her head to a side,
"Yeah", Fiona smiled,"My Mom told me 'bout your family."
"Then, we should get going", Peter exclaimed,"Or else Mom will get angry if our guest got late."
"Are you ready?", Piya gave Fiona side-glance.
"Of course", Fiona smiled.
--Parking Lot, Airport 2--
Peter & Piya guided Fiona to their Honda SUV. Peter sat in the front beside the driver while Fiona & Piya sat in the backseat. The car pulled out from the parking lot & found itself on the main road in no time. Peter turned on the music. It played "How Long" by Charlie Puth. Everybody in the car was humming to the tune.
Alright
Ooh, yeah
I'll admit, I was wrong, what else can I say, Girl?
Can't you blame my head & not my heart?
I was drunk, I was gone, That don't make it right, but
I promise there were no feelings involved, mm.
She said,"Boy, tell me honestly,
Was it real or just for show?", yeah
She said,"Save your apologies,
Baby, I just gotta know."
How long has this been goin' on?
You been creepin' 'round on me
While you callin' me "baby"
How long has this been goin' on?
You been actin' so shady
I been feelin' it lately, baby...
...
The car passed silently through the road. Meanwhile, Fiona fell asleep due to her fatigue.
--M.N.T Housing complex, Apartment 5, Flat No, 4--
The car, after checking in entered the housing complex & parked itself near Apartment 5.
Piya nudged Fiona," Hey, Fiona! Wake up, We've reached home. Fiona slowly opened her eyes to the unfamiliar environment. She gently rubbed her eyes while Peter & the driver pulled the luggage out of the car trunk. After that, Piya & Fiona got out of the car.
