HAND 'SHIEK'

After an year of our marriage my hubby decided to move to Indonesia as he got a job there.We had to stay apart for six months.Then one day he asked me to come over to Indonesia,I was too young at that time and never had gone alone so far,but my hubby convinced me that there might be people coming along and with their help  will reach safely. He assured me that there was a direct flight from Delhi to Indonesia and he will be receiving me at the airport.

Along with my sister and brother in law we reached Delhi .I got the tickets in Delhi  and to my surprise and horror it was not a direct flight,(Delhi- singapore ,singapore-indonesia),but i had made up my mind because I was missing my hubby very much.

On the D day I was dropped at the airport by my sister and brother in law, now I was all alone. I gathered all my strength and went around enquiring each and every detail from the airline counter, they got frustrated with me. Before boarding the plane I happened to meet a girl who introduced herself and said she was working as a teacher in Indonesia and was also going to Indonesia. Luckily for me she was also taking the same flight from Singapore.I thanked my stars.

The flight was almost empty when we took off  from Delhi  at 11 p.m and was two hours late.We reached Singapore in the morning and my eyes were searching for the girl and like a dog tagged along. After few hours we boarded our flight to Indonesia and I asked her not to leave me till i see my hubby at the airport, she was too eager to help me.As the plane was going to land I called upon all the gods to help me.

We were coming out when I saw my hubby and all my tension faded away, I called my friend and introduced to my hubby,but OMG I forgot her name and only remembered her last name,I went near my husband and whispered her name' shiek', he smiled and shook her hand.I was surprised by the handshake.

Later too curious about the handshake I asked him " usually you say hello how come you shook hands with that girl,after coming to Indonesia have you changed"??He gave me a hard look and said but you only said shake.....I burst out laughing and told him that I  forgot her first name and only remembered her last name "shiek"....
