A Night At Kuwait Airport….

8:45 PM
Her: I’m at the airport and thought about you…Hope you are alright.

8:55 PM
Him: I’m OKay…you?

9:10 PM
Her: Can’t be any better…am leaving this country
Him: Leaving for good?
Her: Yup
Him: When is your flight?
Her: 10:30 PM
Him: Can I come?
Her: Why?
Him: I just wanna say goodbye
Her: How sweet
Him:Yeh
Her: Well, I will be at pizza express until 10 and then am going in. It’s really up to you although I don’t think it’s a good idea

9:40 PM and no sign of him. She pays her Pizza bill and start collecting her things.

9:45 PM she starts walking toward the passport gate and still no sign of him. There is a very long queue.

9:55 PM, she finally made it to the front. One person ahead of her. Her mobile rings.
Her: Hello?
Him: Where are you?
Her: I am the passport gate
Him: Don’t leave, I’m coming I’m coming

Call disconnects.

The immigration officer ask for her passport. She looks back and wonders if she should go back or just go in. She starts pushing her way back between all the people standing.

She saw him running towards her.
Him: Hi
Her: Hi
Him: Where you going?
Her: X city
Him: For how long?
Her: Few days
Him: So you lied?
Her: I didn’t
Him: Well, How are you?
Her: Good, and you?
Him: Good. Are you traveling for business or pleasure
Her: I need some time off and I have a job interview…I have to go, my flight

He extends his hand and holds her hand. He then hugs her so hard she starts crying. Few minutes later, people are staring at them. She is still crying. She pulls away.
Her: I have to go..
Him: Have a safe flight.
Her: Good bye

She walks away and stand in the line all over again. She looks back and sees him walking away slowly out of the airport.

    men are stupid.
    If he drove all the way to the airport, he might as well have joined her (or you?)
