The wallet was missing…! Oh god! This is not what I want at this moment. My flight is in 2 hours time. So I rushed to the seats, where I’d been lazing around for quite sometime. Nope, nothing there. Then I rushed to the joint where I had Chinese and asked the folks working there. No clue here either, but one of them suggested that I complain at the Airport Support booth. I got my way down to the support and sat there at their table.
A decent looking lady with a cute chinkie smile looked at my terrified face and asked me “May I help you?”. Thoughts kept running in my mind, but I had to behave myself :)) I told her that I lost my wallet and that I realized about it sometime back. She kept smiling, and then asked me the whereabouts and the usual yada-yada. I kept answering her obediently and she noted down all my answers. She said that they did find some wallet and the description did match the one I gave. Daamm, I was so relieved now, she asked me to wait there for 10 minutes while she went to fetch the wallet.
2-3 more rounds at the terminal and I would have killed the remaining time. This time every 10 mins I had to feel me pocket to make sure the wallet is still there. I spotted a liquor shop, and my eyes climaxed over the Johnnie Walker, which I really wanted to buy, but was reluctant since I was not sure if my already full-to-capacity cabin luggage and the bottle would be allowed? Somehow, I managed to kill the remaining time, by re-entering the perfume shop again and again (by now I must have made it to the Most Wanted list of the lady working in there) and some electronics shops. At around quarter to 6, I went to queue up for the check-in. I was so relieved now, the longest wait was finally over and in a few hours I would be back toINDIA
