Again and again, thanks to her -my wife-, I was experiencing the first moments of my life. It was the first time in my life that I was abroad. I was very curious about new adventures. So, I applied for a visa. Arranging a reservation was a very difficult process. I couldn’t find a suitable appointment through the online app, so I tried every five minutes. I finally made it. Then I got my visa to go to Poland.
The day of the flight had come. I had never been on a plane until that day. I was very excited because of that. When I was waiting for the departure time, I was thinking about the flight. “I think I made it. I am an acrophobic person, but I certainly made it, because I love airplanes. Their look and massiveness are very beautiful. Are those cockpits real? How beautiful they are.” When I was thinking those sentences, then I realized where I was going… to my wife. I was going to my future wife. Maybe, I tell you that story later.
I was on the plane, and now I was flying. It was truly incredible. I was in the air. It took about two and a half hours, but it felt as if I had landed in Poland in just a few seconds. After visa control and baggage procedures, I found myself in the heart of Warsaw, Poland. Before leaving my country, my wife and I had discussed where we would meet. She had mentioned waiting at the bus stop near the airport while we were talking. Since my phone was off, I wasn’t sure if I could find her. She must have been waiting at the bus stop near the airport for three hours. Yes, three hours. What a great love, isn’t it? Three hours is insignificant for us. We waited for about 6 months for that moment.
With a backpack on my back and a suitcase in my hand, I dragged myself out of the airport’s door. Having forgotten the excitement of the flight, I was filled with a blend of excitement about being abroad for the first time and seeing different places. In six months, I would see her. This is what they call a double effect. My heart was as if it would fly. And yes, she was looking at me with all her innocence, searching for me in the place she was waiting. She seemed curious. How could she not be? Was my phone off, was my plane landing? Nothing was certain. Since her eyes couldn’t see far, she didn’t notice me at first, but I had already noticed her, and I was running towards her…
