Arrival
flight attendant
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Trenton with peace express. The local time is 10:48pm"
(speaking over the mic)
flight attendant
"For your safety and the safety of others, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate"
[ Dave woke up from his little nap , yawned and fastened his seat belt..this is his first time travelling so far , from Nigeria to the New Jersey Capital (Trenton)...... Dave comes from a 2nd class Nigerian family, this travel is on the expense of his whole savings and families.
He doesn't know anyone living in the states but he has a bigger picture of hustling at the country to live a better life. That's a huge risk. On how he was validated by the united states embassy is a big miracle, he was given 5 yrs of stay].
[after the passengers have disembark, Dave went through the baggage claims and immigration officer, he went to the canteen to buy a snack , he was hungry as hell, he doesn't know what next to do because he doesn't know anyone in the states, he's stranded but have to act normal for the securities not to notice, he curse under his breath]
[as he is munching his snack , he met a beautiful eye staring at him (he swallowed hard and wave)]..
