cheapest fruity bar

and a can of soda. I

sat on a steel chair,

plugged my earphones in, and

tried to enjoy my rock music and

snack.However, I was shortly interrupted.

My phone’s battery had died. Frantically,

I looked for a portable power bank in my purse.

Unable to find one, I literally wanted to die. Without

my phone, I felt so helpless. I adjusted my zebra patterned

neck pillow around my neck and tried to sleep. Through the rush,

announcements, and chaos my brain could hardly fall asleep. I

was impatiently looking at my smart watch hoping for my flight

attendant to make an announcement but my flight seemed to be

delayed forever.

It had already been three hours. Three horrible and long

hours. I had tried everything to entertain myself. Literally

everything. Completely exhausted, I lay my head against the

back of the couch and flipped through some magazines. I

was almost dozing off when I heard it. “Attention all

passengers, flight to Indonesia, B215 please board now,” I

swear I had to pinch myself to believe it was real. I quickly

got up to my feet, collected my things and skipped happily

towards my gate after four boring hours of waiting. This trip

had not even started and had already tested my patience. So

much for a relaxing getaway!...
