~ noushka is back pt. 1 ~

28 June 2003

i picked up Noushka from the airport today. she’s been living and working in Brisbane, Australia for the past 6 months. today is the first time she come back for a visit.

the catch is it’s a surprise visit. even her parents have no idea that she’s here.

earlier in the evening, i called her home and told her parents that i’ll be over to drop off some gifts and stuff from Australia. her stepmom asked if it was from Noushka, so i told her yes.

the traffic was okay to the airport, but it took her over an hour to clear up the imigration and waited for her baggage to come out. we both were nervous. the surprise plan has been conceived a month ago. and it’s been hard not to talk about it, especially since i was the only one who knew. people asked when noushka would be back over and over again (everyone loves her). there is family trip to the beach coming up… it was interesting to convince people for having the trip on the days when Noushka is around without mentioning her visit. sorta arranging everything so that the surprise goes smoothly.

i guess it went well. her parents didn’t see it coming. they were her dad was so surprised that he started cussing… hehehe. the suprise for her sister didn’t go so well, though. she somehow managed to find out from Noushka’s friend from Brisbane that noushka has arrived this evening. oh well.
