Suspense

by Neha Banger (India)

I didn't expect to find Indonesia

Actually i m found of travelling thts why i love modeling bcs u get chance to travel and explore and new things and places. I participated in a beauty contest which was held in Indonesia on 20th of December. At that time only one thing is in. My mind that i will get a stamp on my passport and even i forgot the fear of going alone without my parents ...and with strangers for the very first time. After every formality our journey started and then i traveled from phagwara to Chandigarh' and then Chandigarh' to Delhi and then from. I had a flight for Chennai for which i got late but However i managed to reach dere. Then at Chennai airport i have to meet them @ d block. I m a kind of introvert personality so i never came alone even outside of my city without my parents so it was a complete suspenseful journey. I was nto even sure tht they r right persons with whom i m going to travel. Then after 20 minutes of struggle i finally found the d block with the help of a stranger. Then i met them and then i got some relief after seeing other participants. Then i called my parents to tell them tht yess i am reached and i am safe. But as i was traveling since 5 o clock of the mrng i was too hungry. Then havnt offered dinner even. So there i got to know that half persons's flight is delayed. So we got seprated there is 3 hour of difference in our flights. So i entered into airport as our flight's boarding started. One of the organizer eneter with us to make sure that everything should be okkey. But at check in counter they found that we r going for beauty pageant but organizer told us to tell them that we r going for a tour outside the country in group. Then after half an hour discussions..our organizer have to book our returning tickets bcs without that they won't let us enter into plane . So they have to. After that we entered into immigration lane where they asked for hotel bookings and then they called us separately to confirm that we are not going for any wrong purpose. Then finally we boarded into plane. And journey begins. Then we have to change flight from Malaysia ( Kualampur) from dere we got flight for Indonesia. After traveling continuously finally we rached airport but then we have to wait for others bcs their flight was 3 hrs late. When they arrived on airport then we get into a blue bus with other ones whicj headed towards the hotel in jakarta . Finally we got keys of our rooms after a warm welcome and lunch. After all rounds pf events ( 5 days ) we haeded towards returning to India. I cant explain how happy i was feeling that yess iam going to my home. But at airport we got to know that after reaching Malaysia kualalampur dere is 12 hr layover for our next flight from Malaysia to Chennai tht was quite irritating but then i got to know that i am not alone. Dere r other other participants too. One of them became my good frnd during this whole journey whose name is Surbhi. So tht was good for me bcs i cant wait ao long. Then after 12 hrs layover we reached Chennai airport and then as my flight got delayed so i have to boook another one. From Chennai to Chandigarh' which had a layover in Bangalore. So 2 days of travel finally i reached Chandigarh' where my frnd came to recieve me . So this was my journey where der is a lof wait , suspense that what is going to happen , what will be the next. Well it was my first international trip and i will never forgot this. 💖
