Thankfully the airline people booked me on a flight 4 hours later. And just when I was waiting for my next flight, sitting in the waiting area reading a magazine, I noticed a cute guy sitting across my seat, working on his laptop. As I started telling the person next to me that I was from New York City, he suddenly looked up and said he was from New York City too. We started talking to each other and came to know that we lived just a few miles from each other.
We talked more and I told him I had missed my earlier flight and that my bag was on the flight I was supposed to be on. He promised me he would help me find my bag when we got to New York. Finally, we boarded the next flight but he was in first class and I was in coach so we were not near each other. We didn’t meet even once inside the plane, and I was almost sure I won’t be seeing him after getting off it too. But when I exited the plane after we landed… there he was, waiting for me to exit so he could help me find my luggage. After we found it, he asked me for my number, called me up to ask me out exactly 2 days later and we clicked instantly.
1 year later he proposed and almost exactly 2 years from the date we met, we will now be walking down the aisle. It feels great!
