Rolling sound from the trolley combine with the tiny walking feet brings me back from a deep unconscious relaxing step to reality. My eyelids rises up normally while an attendant with a trolley are communicating with front row passengers. Peeking at food on tray within the tight space between seat by seat. Cups and a round container with silver kitchen foil should be the hot food, their conversation with attendant have been eardropped by me secretly at the back without notice, same language as me during the conversation calm me down. When the last person on the front row has been served, attendant approaching me with the trolley and asking me.
“Fish or chicken?” She asks kindly and I am opening my tiny foldable table.
“Chic…ken,” I replied with a little of shame and seeing her pulling a white plastic tray of food out of the trolley to me.
“Any drinks?” She asks.
My feeling of nervousness are calm when my food are descending on my shakily table.
“Water,” I replied and viewing my tray of food excitedly.
Tearing the kitchen foil from bottom to top slowly while missing out attendant passes me a cup of water.
“Sir. Here is your water.” Her voice brings my focus back and takes water from her hand.
Unstable air shaking my body and my hand with water are aiming as calm as it avoid water pouring out. Adjust the location of tray slightly and leaving out some space for placing the water on the table carefully. My excitement begins as revealing the hot meal as tearing out the rest of the kitchen foil on top of the container.
A chicken breast sitting on the middle with veggies as well as mashed potatoes in container. Brown liquid is acting as transparent dress on top of chicken breast as it shows the white meat below the sauce. Taking the elegant and as shine as mirror reflecting sliver cutlery out of the well-designed packaging for the dinner begins.

Stomach are desiring for food and the fulfill of the chicken breast with potato did not satisfy the need of hunger. Intaking vegetables for filling holes of hunger in stomach are insufficient. Located on top of the tray are two small rectangular rounded containers of dessert and appetizer which is my next targets. Uncovering plastic see through cover on the container and taking bit by bit out, into my mouth rapidly. Pieced food are coming down the stomach as slow as falling snow until it filles majority part of the stomach. Air from stomach are running through lung to throat and forcing mouth to push it out hardly.
My body chilling down as the air has been pushed and back sticking to the soft seat for relaxing. Pushing cover of the side window slightly and seeing around, there is nothing but a darkness with small flashing light. Boredness from the darkness causing me to push the cover back down and sips some water into mouth for moisturising the dryness from digesting food earlier on. Investigating with my peeking eyes on activities of surrounded passengers.
Some are enjoying their film and meal with their headset on while some are covering their eye with mask, dreaming on their seat. Two women sitting next to me are focusing on film and their meal which attract me to find out the programs inside the small TV. My emotion turns happy high since there are films in my language and selecting one of them for accompany me with my dessert finished.
Sweetness remains my mouth and water removing them and carrying them to the stomach through my throat. Finishing remaining water and placing it on top of tray with well-orangised order. Relax back and be entertained by the movie until attendant coming to us for tray collection.
