One day, in the early of the year, at the airport, I was to take the plane to back home from abroad, what made unusual this time was the airline ticket in my hand, a single ticket rather than return. In a few hours, I would leave this country where I lived for 6 years long, and go back to my motherland. Standing in the departure lounge and watching the crowds rushing by, all of sudden, I realized that I had already missed the life here, but I had to say “Goodbye” to all around me. We have to make many decisions in our life, just like I made an important decision to leave my motherland, my family and the job 6 years ago, once again another decision, today I have to leave here, the place where I have lived for 6 years.
Finally, the moment boarding the plane is drawing nearer and the plane soon takes off, in a few minutes, leaving everything behind beyond my vision. The only thing I can see now is cotton looking white clouds in the sky. When I leaning on the chair, I begin to calm down and the complicated feelings and thoughts are gradually vanished from my mind, but there is one question, still troubles me, I asked myself: “Is it a right decision or not this time?” I really wish there would be someone telling me Yes or No, but no one does so.
I always whished the plane could fly faster so that I could meet my family as soon as possible picturing in my mind that they have already been waiting for me at the platform. While this time, strangely, I wish the plane could fly slowly instead, so that I can have plenty of time to consider whether I made right decision this time, whether it is just an impulsive decision, or another challenge in my life.
This is what I felt on the day of coming back home from abroad.
Now I am the man of Sinochem, I wish I could travel the time like a journey and go back to the moment I was wandering at the airport and then tell myself “Go ahead, my dear, you have made the right decision.” |
