Mira woke up with a disturbing silence at the airport. She looked around multiple times but she saw no one. The clock was ticking while rain drops hit the roof with such force it seemed like the whole room would come done.
She looked at the again and it said twenty minutes past three post meridian time. She looked at her ticket that was registered for ten minutes ago and sighed. It was clear the flight had been delayed.

Upon reaching her seat the man sat down next to her and placed his cane on his lap .
"Quite the weather we have today ", the old man said.
"It is , and of all the days it has to be today", Mia replied.
"It is quite a shock we usually don't have typhoons in winter here", the old man replied.
"I know right and I think this is the first time I have seen something like this happen ", Mira replied.
"It must be quite nerve wracking since it's getting in the way of your vacation plans ", he said.

"Ahh, yes after all I had something that I really needed to do today ", she said.
"Ohhh , you did ?", he asked.
"Yes, it was very important ", she answered.
"Ohh, then I must be stealing your time ",the old man said.
"Not at all , with this rain it would have been lonely ", Mira said.
"Which rain ?", the old man asked.
Mira looked around and noticed that the rain had stopped and the place was bustling with people.
"Oh, I didn't notice I guess I was too into our conversation ", Mira said.
"That's nice to hear but I think your flight is here ", The old man said.

"Ah, that'smy flight thank you for the company mmh", Mira said.

"Yes, Sir Tanikawa", she said as she grabbed her things.
"Oh and am Mira ", she said as she turned to leave.

Mira froze and turned around but the old man wasn't there.
"What did he mean by that ? ", Mira asked herself .
