FAR AWAY FROM TERRACE

Yeah! I think you guessed how far I went. I went thirty thousand feet away from the ground. Yeah, I think you must have found the answer. It was my first flight. I traveled from chennai to Tutucorin in flight Which was such a memorable one. The day was May 27, 2019. When I was in Chennai Which I went to my uncle's house for the summer vacation along with my mother and brother. At that time I had no idea that I will be returning from Chennai through flight. A few days before my departure from there, my father gave me a shock that he booked a flight ticket for us. It made me speechless  because,since from my childhood my only dream was to travel in flight. I immediately started my research in the internet about flight travel, people's first time flight experience. But a story blow my mind. I read it in a popular site called Quora. It was mentioned in the story that, one Who travels in the flight for the first time may experience vomiting. And also it can cause strong ear pain during take off. My excitement slowly started to change into grave fear. But I simply ignored for the sake of my fear. The day before the travel I couldn't sleep. My sleep was disturbed by strange excitement which I can't explain. The day arrived, making me more curious. I was the first to get ready. Packed all my luggage. And we boarded to the airport. When we were close to the airport, I peeped out through the car window and saw the runway. But I couldn't see it since the walls were so tall. I was able to the see the upper part of the flights Which were stationed in the runway. It increased my curiosity level. At last the car slowed and we got out and went into the airport. It was the first time I was going into the airport for myself. Before that I went to airport to get someone or to send someone. Before getting into the airport, my sister gave me the second blow of fear. She asked me to chew the mouth during take off because it reduces ear pain. I was stunned. This was the thing which I was trying to ignore. But anyway the sight of the interior airport distracted me. In the entrance Where only passengers were allowed my aunt and sister waved me. This was really strange because, usually I used to wave and tell goodbye! But this time I was experiencing it. We were greeted and checked by security guards and our luggage were checked. Our boarding time was two hours ahead. Actually than travelling in flight, waiting for the flight in airport is the most exciting thing. Because during that time we can travel in flight in our imagination and we will have  highest level of curiosity. I am the only one in the entire airport Who purchased food from all the shops. I bought my first doughnut. And I also bought a puffs for 120 rupees. How rich I am? At last the time came. The bus Which takes us to the plane came, which I had seen only in movies. We got into the flight and were greeted by the air hostess. In many  movies I have seen they say that the person who gives chocolate in aeroplane is called air hostess. But unfortunately I didn't get anything. Finally the flight took off after a fifteen minutes of drive. I fortunately got a window seat. Luckily I didn't get any ear pain. I enjoyed the takeoff really. I cant believe that I was thirty thousand feet away from the ground. I got a wonderful view there and I saw the beach. After a ten minutes the flight attendant came with a note. She gave me a menu. I ordered a sandwich for me. I asked her the rate and she replied," Just 340 Sir". What! I saw my mother's face reaction. She told me through her eyes, no problem. But I read her mind voice! When I got my sandwich It attracted me. It was well packed in an aluminium foil paper and with a tag. Then my mind satisfied, "Yeah! its worth for money!" But actually when I opened it I found two slices of bread and a few vegetables which I hate the most in the world none other than anything, Which was stuffed into it. After a journey of one and an half hours the journey came to an end. Only then my nightmare came real. My ears started to experience pain due to change in atmospheric pressure. It started to get worse. But eventually after the flight reached the ground my ears became clear. We got down. That moment was the saddest moment. The one and an half hour seemed like a few minutes. But that was really a memorable one which these words cannot express.
