This is the story how Allah helped me on Thursday evening... Indeed, when we are in trouble, remember Him much, He will help you from the way you do not expect it.. :)
My flight to Kota Bharu scheduled to be at 8.40pm and alhamdulillah, I arrived at Subang Airport at 7.45pm with a help of a close friend who sent me over. Noticing the small screen above the counter showing check-in open for 8.25pm flight to Kota Bharu, I sat down in the designated area, waiting for the next turn.
The screen shut off at 8.00pm and I awaited for the next display. Hesitating why the screen didn't show anything after 10mins waiting, I went to the counter to ask.
"Sir, is the flight to Kota Bharu at 8.40pm still on?"
"Miss, the flight is at 8.25pm, not 8.40pm. We have closed the counter."
"Allahuakbar......" I just missed the flight yet I was at the airport since 7.45pm!
"But I bought the ticket for 8.40pm flight.."
"Do you have the itenarary?"
"No, sorry I didn't print the itenarary.. Ok..well, when is the next flight to Kota Bharu this evening?"
"That is the last flight to Kota Bharu, miss."
"Allahuakbar... emm.... ok"
I was surrender to Allah's fate. There maybe something good behind this.
I moved 50 metres aside, trying to call my friend but failed. I sent an SMS saying that, "I missed the flight.. " I hoped my friend was not far away to come back to the airport.
Just after that, the Fireflyz guy called me. With puzzled mind, I stepped towards him.
"Miss, give me your IC pls."
"Huh? Can still check-in although you have closed?" (giving him my ID card while looking at my watch: 8.15pm).
"It's ok miss. I'll do it."
"Ok, miss, you may go. Please go to the gate now."
"Ohh. Thanks!"
I walked quickly. My phone rang, that must be my friend. Ohh, sorry, can't even bother to pick-up the phone now. Passing the security check, arriving at the gate, but the door has been closed.
"Err, miss..."
"To Kota Bharu?" the crew quickly asked.
"Yes. Can I still board?"
"Yes, can."
Another crew opened the door for me. I walked towards the back door of the plane- being the last person boarding. Subhanallah, in 5 mins, I was in the plane after being denied to even check-in... I even experienced the moment I almost missed the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Manchester,UK; the stewardess was closing the plane's door the time I arrived.... :)
Alhamdulillah, now I'm at my kampong...spending time sleeping like The Sleeping Beauty after two consecutively short week with no quality sleeping time.... and even funny, when I re-check my itenary just now, the ticket I purchased is actually flight at 8.10pm... :)
