The Pilot

From my novel.

After Lucine and her little daughter had left, Nare felt lonely though there were crowds of people around her. She was still looking for John's blue eyes. Her eyes were jumping to cling to the sky to recall the two blue bulbs on John's face. She knew John was away. She wouldn't have visited the airport if John hadn't departed.
''John may have already been at home for a week or so. Why am I at the airport?'' she kept on giving this question to herself.
Nare sometimes wondered if her relatives were looking for her. She didn't tell anybody that she was going to the airport to see her boyfriend off. She sometimes thought that she had been with John in her dream. She thought the airport was an image that was stuck in her eyes, which were closed during her sleep.
''Have I been sleeping all this time without waking up? Am I still in my long sleep?'' she continued to question herself. '' It could have been a mirage, couldn't it?''
She thought John and the people whom she had met at the airport were mirages or sirens, arriving and departing through the transparent air. The airplane which had brought John, took him away again. Suddenly Nare felt she was unable to keep her eyes open any more. She was so tired and sleepy. She walked to the waiting room, took a seat and fell asleep. Her sleep was peaceful, and her eyelids were soaked in the sweetest nectar.
''Mademoiselle!''
Nare heard a familiar voice. She turned back.
''Hello, Nare,'' said Pierre.
''Hello, Pierre,'' greeted Nare.
She recognized the man in a uniform.
''Ah, Pierre! I didn't expect to see you again,” she said. “I always thought the air would steal people to hide them forever.''
Pierre smiled sadly.
“Nare, the air hides only those who go to Heaven,” he said. “Even airplanes never meet God and angels though the airplanes travel through the highest roads of the sky. They both land and take off, because life goes on. The airplanes take people away, but they also bring them back. Never do angels find anyone in the world, even if they miss those whom they have left behind.''
