During the flight, Ella doesn’t talk much. She listens (like always) to the sound of  the engines and carefully looks at the faces of the stewardess…  

“And what if I notice something unusual? Can I run anywhere from 8000 m? “- she asked herself. She needs to feel the peace in her stomach…

She turns to her man and she sees and feels the peace. Such a peace can be transmitted only by man who is very satisfied, fulfilled, and happy. 

“He had discovered love with me for the first time in his life, those deep feelings… I found his deep hidden “button” and without much thinking I pressed it” – Ella was thinking and she put her head on his shoulder.

They met when he was 49 years old, and she 42. She was always teasing him: “You’re too old for me. You, pedophile!” He defended and justified himself at the beginning: “I have more energy than you with 42!”

“From different countries, but at least the same continent” – she was thinking and smiling.

“What?” – he asks. Ella is telling him about what she had just thought. “But do not forget that we had first contact when we were on different continents” – he is laughing. 

It’s true. They always say that the Universe had put a huge effort in order to make that they find each other. They think that they have something special, that their relationship is special.

Different countries, different cultures, different ways of growing up. Failed marriages, wonderful children. And now, the faith that life can start from the beginning and the good will to do so.

“Certainly he is afraid a little bit too, but he doesn’t want to admit. Otherwise, it would be much harder for me. I’d started to feel responsible not only for myself, but also for him… And I want to have a little break from taking over the responsibility … “- she sighs.

“Are you aware that we have started our life together?” – she is asking very exciting. She allowed herself a moment of joy, which is much better than thoughts about her “past” life. 

 ”Oh, yes very much” – he replies, so happy. He was excited because of everything, and barely greeted to say something on that topic. He was controlling himself all the time and he was respecting her feeling of sadness because of leaving. He knows that she needs time.

Deep closeness again re-connecting them. A moment of joy, love and fulfillment.

It’s time for landing. Anxiety again appears in her stomach. She is looking through the window. “In a few minutes I’ll be on the ground again” she was calming herself down.

They landed. His country. His language.
“As always, it’s cold and wind blows. In my country it is warm now and the wind is not blowing – she says defiantly.
“Yes, yes, in your country everything is better and more beautiful” – he laughs.
“It is” – Ella stubbornly continues, like she wants to trigger the quarrel.
“I agree” – he felt a possible storm and stoped the conversation.

Ella is taking her mobile phone, she has to send a essage to her mother.  Her mother always worries. This “wonderful” character trait she has transferred to Ella. Ella always worries about everything, especially in advance. During the time, she had learned to change her mindset, but still sometimes she  has problems  with “not to worry in advance”

Her mother replied immediately: “I feel relief now. I am very sad. I already miss you and I love you”

“I love you” – Echo in Ella’s head… They’ve never spoke to each other on that way… “I love you”…
“I can’t think about that now, it hurts” – Ella decides. 

She takes her bag and they left the airport. Tomorrow they are going to Lisbon…
