I never thought I would have to leave behind all the people I loved, my sisters and my mother who was a father in almost all our lives; but nothing could be done, I had to leave my country before being locked there forever.

She was the eldest sister of 3 daughters, our father was executed by the army before our eyes for opposing orders of the dictatorial regime for that time. I can still smell the peculiar smell of bleeding on the floor, an image that I could never get out of my head, I was only 15 years old at the time, but in a way I had to be the protective sister and make myself worthy of a woman strong even without being of legal age. My sisters stopped going to school because of the insecurity that the soldiers were going to snatch from our hands, they were hard times, people died of hunger, and in order to survive, people had to work many shifts every day.

I, in my case, had the fortunate not very fortuitous to be able to leave the country with the savings that my mother had with my father, because before he died he dedicated himself to blacksmithing and was very famous for his good work and performance, so much that over time he could have his own business and get these benefits in savings. Over time he was aware of the changes in the country in terms of policy and interventions, it was at that time that secretly, he made a clandestine saving, which after his death, was what made it possible for me to leave the country , without my family, but with the certainty of being able to emerge and return once more.

So it was, after the long journey in that boat during several days of trips in the sea, I arrived abroad where I could with much effort study and work part-time. I remember that at that time I worked in two work shifts, one in a pizza shop in the evenings where they allowed me to study in my free time and with a flexible schedule and another at night as a waitress in a very prestigious bar and restaurant. I could say that I was very lucky, but my physical beauty and intellect was the trigger to get those jobs and that they could cover my expenses, savings and not hinder my studies.

Soon I was able to finish high school and discover my interest in being a stewardess, since there were many times that the pizza shop arrived with the girls in the flight attendant uniform, it was understandable to see them very often there, since the airport was located a few kilometers away. I loved listening to their experiences in their different trips, my ears and thoughts became interesting, so do not hesitate to sign up for the course that was just beginning. Over time I was able to pass the entire stewardess course; to my surprise that same day of the graduation I had been hired for my good grades and performance, something that reminded me of my father who was dedicated to teaching extra math classes when he arrived from school long before his death. That dedication and commitment to achieve the tasks I took from him, I miss him as much as if it were yesterday when I saw him lying there without breathing.

I hurriedly made my way with my new low-heeled shoes, a gift that my companions gave me for having obtained the contract on the airline, and I made myself crazy and excited to walk quickly to the airport for my first trip. While I was waiting for the pedestrian light on the edge of it, I was very excited for my first day of work, which I forgot to call my mother to tell her, so I wanted to arrive on time before boarding and be able to know a little about her before to give you the good news. I crossed quickly and turned my head to my right, I felt that someone was watching me and that's how I could see a very handsome man looking at me behind the windshield of his car, very elegant dressed in a suit; he seemed the typical man with money married and with children surely. The truth is that I catch my attention, but if I was not so excited about what was happening in my life now and the speed I had to get to the airline, I could have observed a little more.

Upon entering the airport the first thing I could perceive was the sound of the horn making the call that it was only 1 hour before boarding the flight to which I should already be. Halfway there I had an accident of those commons that happen very often when you are in a hurry; The truth is that halfway I ran into a man who had an instant coffee, which ended in my shirt spilled by the shock, I had to apologize and go quickly as I could, to one store to buy another; I could not go to my first day of work with my soiled uniform, which also made it impossible for me to call my mother before starting my first day of work.

I was able to arrive right at the flight attendants' room, they all received me with love, many of them were already known from the course or from the pizzeria when they went to eat in a group. I felt very happy and in a way relieved that everything was under control, the atmosphere was as I thought it would be, maybe that attracted me to this world.

Once inside the plane, the passengers began to board and we kindly attended to all their needs and gave instructions before taking off. As it happens, one of those passengers was the same person who looks out of the corner of his eye when crossing the avenue, but this time I could not pay much attention to him because he was one of the last ones to climb to start the takeoff.

—Look again that man is here— mentions one of my companions, I could affirm with it then that it was someone important, do not hesitate to ask about him.

—You girls, do you know who he is?

— Clear! If it is nothing more and nothing less than a millionaire man who came to do business on the island, is very well known in these parts— mentions me while we all look at him out of the corner of our eyes and laugh a little.

The truth that I was not known, I was never aware of the news of the show, much less to hunt millionaires or see those programs where they talked about men with a lot of money, I did not have the time for that.

—Excuse me, could you help me? — ask a passenger near the post of him to whom I went to help him remove the belt, it was somewhat nervous, but no more than me for my first day and how strange my day was. I wonder where the bathroom was and accompany him there.

Once I attended the passenger I prepared to return to my post but on the way I could see that the wealthy and beautiful man was complaining a little, to approach me to ask if it was okay, I could see that he was asleep, in that the plane began to move suddenly, the turbulence alarms sounded, I fell to the ground but without hurting myself, we all helped the passengers to put on their emergency masks, I was a little terrified, but I suppose it was something normal maybe because of the weather I also wanted to make a good impression.

We made sure that everyone had their masks but the man who still surprisingly was not asleep did not have it on, so I approached him to put it on, but before that he opened his eyes screaming something that scared me much more than I was already .

— Are you okay sir? — I asked, and then put my hand on his shoulder, maybe he woke up by the wave of the plane a while ago, I just wanted to make him feel good and let go of the nerves that maybe he had. He claimed to be fine, so before asking if he wanted something like he denied wanting something to eat or drink, I just ended up walking to my place to wait.

Suddenly after a few minutes someone touches my back, the girls laughed and that I miss, when turning, it was he who was behind me smiling and I cordially returned him with a smile too.

My heart suddenly felt accelerated, and everything became in total silence, I could not stop admiring its beauty, I felt for a moment eager to know more about him, but for himself.
