So, it has been almost a week and I am at the point of start. Mr. V is in the airport, waiting to board the flight to Nepal. He lives in US of A and is travelling across the Atlantic with a secret.
I am still a bit fuzzy when it comes to describing the airport, it is an international airport in US. Now I have never been to US, so I do not know how the airports there look like, and does every state have international airports? I guess most of the airports look similar, the waiting area with those attached seats, ceiling high glass windows, the usual coming and going of people... To be more 'in sync' I have decided to go to the airport here in 'D Town', I know they won't let you in without the air ticket, but may be I will just hang around in the lounge outside the 'departure' area and write the rest...
Mr. V is getting more clearer in my mind. He likes to drink coffee with very little sugar and milk; he always has a nervousness around him, a sense of insecurity though he has a good job, a Green Card ( thanks to his US born wife). He is being modeled after someone I had a crush ( HUGE BIG TIME CRUSH) on. With thick somewhat messed hair, I even gave him a pair of myopic glasses. He is a sensitive man but a bit selfish and opportunist at the same time. Sometimes he bits the inside of his lips, when he is nervous, or thinking too much or reading an interesting book.. his childhood habit. He comes from humble background, has paid his dues to be where he is. He has a past, as in P-A-S-T, and a secret that catchs up with him in his present and drags him back to where it all had started.
Well, despite this... haven't been able to move on with the story.. I know the sequence of events, but everything is too mixed. Should I start with Mr. V in the bedroom, thiking about the day when everything changed. OR, from the airport?? Right now, I am opening the scene at the airport.. lets see what happens..
Gotta get back to the story... Ciao my phantom readers!
