It was an unforgettable occasion
It
was the afternoon of Saturday. The blazing sun was sending it to raise onto my
bed while I read a book on my desk. My father hurriedly came to my room and
said to me "Malaika! Guess what?" I was in the shock since I've never
seen him so excited and thrilled. He continued " we are going to go on the
trip to Greece. It's all settled. Your mom just got a call from her
office..." My mother was a journalist which meant that she had to go to
different places in order for her work but I never expected this I was amazed.
It was almost too good to be true. Just after hearing my father's first intense
I had got goosebumps as I imagined the beautiful and refreshing streets,
ancient structures of Greek buildings, sound of rushing water in the streams of
Greece. The scenic beauty of Greece with it's magnificent gardens and mountain
tops and what not. My dad shook me hard to to bring myself back to the reality.
I got up and started to pack my bags for the flight of the next morning.
It was Saturday afternoon. The blazing sun’s rays rested on my
bed while I read a book at my desk. My father hurriedly came to my room and
said to me, "Malaika! Guess what?" I was in shock, since I'd never
seen him so excited and thrilled. He continued, "We are going to go on a
trip to Greece. It's all settled. Your mom just got a call from her office..."
My mother was a journalist, which meant that she had to go to
different places as part of her work, but I never expected this. I was amazed—it
was almost too good to be true. Just after hearing my father's first intense
words, I got goosebumps as I imagined the beautiful and refreshing streets, the
ancient structures of Greek buildings, the sound of rushing water in the
streams, the scenic beauty of Greece with its magnificent gardens and mountain
tops.
My dad shook me hard to bring me back to reality. I got up and
started packing my bags for the flight next morning.
The
entire day, I and my little brother excitedly run around in the house. The fact
that this trip was for free and my parents always wanted to go to Greece with
us just made me joyous with excitement.
At night before going to bed, I
set my alarm clock to three hours before the actual waking up time. No usually
people won't be able to sleep before this kind of an event i'm the case with me
was no different. Laying in my bed the entire night when I thought about this
trip, The glistening rays of light
showering through my window and wouldn't let me sleep. I kept thinking
that perhaps I was the luckiest girl in the world right now. I and my family
were about to go on a trip of a lifetime. This was going to be a memorable time
for letting me and my family enjoy such an amazing time in a wondrous place
like Greece. With its ancient history and people. Little did I know that sometimes you truly
are the luckiest person in the world, just in a different way.
The entire day, my little brother and I excitedly ran around the
house. The fact that this trip was free and my parents had always wanted to go
to Greece with us just made me even more excited. At night, before going to
bed, I set my alarm clock to three hours before the actual time when I had to
get up.
Usually people wouldn’t be able to sleep before this kind of an
event, and the case with me was no different. Lying in my bed the entire night,
I thought about this trip. I kept thinking that perhaps I was the luckiest girl
in the world right now. I accompanied by my family were about to go on the trip
of a lifetime. Oh, what a wondrous place to go to, Greece, with its ancient
history and people. Little did I know, sometimes you truly are the luckiest
person in the world, just in a different way than you expect.
In
the morning, I and my family got ready and had hot and delicious fried eggs and
pancakes with maple syrup. Normally my
mother would not make such a huge effort in making us such a tasty
breakfast, but today was sure different.
My eyes were tired due to not sleeping at all last night but that was the least
of my worries right then. We got ready and locked the house. checking
everything before leaving for the airport. On the way to the airport, all of us
were so happy and thankful for this opportunity. We go to the airport and saw
how crowded it was. It was mostly just the families which were picking or
dropping off their guests. Due to traffic on the way to the airport we were a
bit late, but now we were going to be extremely late because when my father
asked me for the passports, it turned out that my brother's was missing. We
were going to our security check when my father got angry, I knew it had slipped
into the car. We went back and nervously checked the car but couldn't find the
passport. The passport would have to be at home. My father got furious and
turned red because everything was going perfect until now. Unfortunately we
couldn't get on the flight my parents knew that there was no point arguing. The
flight had left. We got home upset and disappointed and my father wasn't in a
jolly mood like in the morning. To
distract his mind he turned on the TV and my mother started to cook something
for us to eat. And then the headlines
came on the news " Flight A 107 had unfortunately crashed in the ocean due
to engine block........" my parents gave each other a shocked look. That
was supposed to be our flight. We could not believe our eyes. My father left out
a heavy sigh of relief and pity. It was
an unforgettable occassion.
In the morning, my family and I got ready and had hot, delicious

lack of sleep, but that didn’t concern me at all.
We got ready and locked the house, checking everything before
leaving for the airport. On the way to the airport, all of us were all talking
excitedly, so happy and thankful for this opportunity. Finally, we got to the
airport and saw how crowded it was. Most of this was from families picking up
or dropping off their guests.
Due to traffic on the way to the airport we were a bit late, so
we hurried to get our baggage checked. We got through, then arrived at the
security check, when my father asked us to take out our passports. That was
when we discovered that my brother's was missing. My father got so angry then,
and it seemed all the excitement we’d shared in the car was gone.
We went back and nervously checked the car but couldn't find the
passport. That meant it would have to be at home. My father got furious and
turned red, shouting that everything had been perfect until now. Worse, there
was no time to go home, since the flight was leaving so soon. The plane left
without us.
We got home upset and disappointed and my father was in a
terrible mood. To distract himself, he
turned on the TV and my mother started to cook something for us to eat. Then the
headlines came on the news: "Flight A-107 has crashed in the ocean due to
engine blockage. At this time, all passengers on board are feared dead."
My
parents gave each other a shocked look. That was supposed to be our flight! We
could not believe our eyes. My father left out a heavy sigh of relief and
sadness for those on board. It was an unforgettable occasion.
