I have a flight to Japan at 9 am, but for some reason around 3 am I wake up and start getting ready to leave in a hurry. Mom and dad are also in the hotel room I'm at, and it's actually a hotel inside the airport terminal. I quickly and quietly say bye to dad, take my bag and leave.
At check-in there's a Japanese airport person who wishes me a good flight, and I'm thinking I hope she's not judging me for checking in so early.
After check-in I realise I've left without saying bye to mom so I return to our room. They have just woken up and mom is telling papa why did he leave without waking me up? Mom suggests now that we're all awake let's have chai.
There's a little kitchenette off by the living room where we gather round for chai, and I'm brushing my teeth again as dad boils some water and mom goes to the bathroom. I have to use the sink in the kitchen, which for some reason is super high up close to the ceiling, so I have to crane my neck to spit out the toothpaste.
Papa suggests we put on some music, so I do, and 'Mere sapno ki rani' plays on the radio. I'm hoping it's not too loud and other the other patrons in the hotel don't get disturbed.
Somehow I'm reminded of school mornings but I'm also thinking thank God this is nothing like those days.
