Chapter 4 Her Home City

Nissan fell asleep as soon as she slumped into her seat beside the window. The flight from Stone City to L City flew by in a few hours. By the time she woke up, the first face she saw was a beautiful smooth looking face. Her eyes were big and her lips were glossy-pink, her lips were moving, but Nissan couldn't get herself to hear her voice as if the lady standing right in front of her was mute.

The face was blurry, so Nissan blinked a couple of times before bringing both of her hands up to rub her eyes. Right now, Nissan looks like an innocent child who had just woken up after hours of crying. Once she adjusted her eyes to the beautiful figure in front of her, she heard what she was saying.

"Miss! Miss, the plane has landed." she said when she saw Nissan is fully conscious and is looking at her with her eyes wide open.

The flight-attendant didn't want to wake Nissan up at first when she saw how peaceful Nissan looked, it's as if she hasn't been sleeping for days so she gave some time for Nissan to have more rest. When a couple minutes had passed, she went to check up on all of the passengers and still found Nissan sleeping with her head leaning against the interior of the plane while the sunlight shone on her face through the rectangular window.

Nissan stared at the lady for a while, admiring the features on her face before snapping out of her daze and turned her head to look around the plane to find each seat empty apart from hers. Her eyes quickly returned to the lady and then looked down to check the time on her wrist watch, it was 7:43pm. The charity party should've started about an hour ago, she instantly jumped out of her seat when she thought of her Dad.

She apologized to the lady and quickly got her suitcase after a few more minutes then she thanked the lady before exiting the already opened door, she ran down the steps of the plane and entered the airport.

There were so many people in the airport, walking back and forth like ants marching in rows to welcome their new emperor. Nissan tried to squeeze in through the crowd of people as her eyes were in search of a person holding a sign that had her name written on it.

After minutes of searching, her eyes landed on a familiar boy who has his hood on. She spotted him holding a sign that was as tall as his height and as wide as the pillar she had just passed with her name written in huge, red writing. Her face immediately turned sour as she angrily strode towards the boy.

"Danny!" she shouted when she was only a few metres away from him.

He heard his name and swiftly turned his head in the direction of Nissan's voice. He spotted a girl zooming her way through the crowd and making her way towards him. Finally, he found her. He knew that making the sign big and wrote her name in huge red letters would help her find him easily. He happily dropped the sign and walked over to her, her figure was a bit dark since he had his sunglasses on.

"Nissan, nice to see you! How have you been- oop" Nissan threw her backpack at him that was full of necessary stuff. In her backpack were heavy items that weighed Danny down as soon as he catched it.

"Who told you to expose my name on a life-size cardboard?" she shouted as she tried to keep her cool. Danny gulped loudly, but it couldn't be heard over the crowd of people in the packed airport.

"Umm- I. I thought it could be easier for you to find me... so we wouldn't waste time trying to find each other and you could get to the party as soon as possible-" Danny explained.

"Oh...the charity- Ah- Quick! Let's go!" Nissan hurriedly spoke and walked ahead of Danny, leaving her suitcase behind as she snatched her backpack out of Danny's hands.

"Wait- Nissan! What about your suitcase?" he shouted when Nissan was already at the huge glass door of the airport.

"Bring it with you!" she shouted and then she left. Danny shook his head as he thought to himself.

'Nissan, since when did I sign up to be your servant?' Danny let out a deep sigh before rushing towards the glass door with Nissan's suitcase in his hand and the handmade-sign in the other.

Outside the airport was a city of cars. The first thing Nissan spotted was the few cars racing each other on the road, not even slowing down for the pedestrians to cross.

On the contrary people are like cars, stopping in front of the entrance to a shop and stepping aside for the people inside to come out. When all of the people who need to exit the shop have come out, then they enter the store.

Hearing footsteps and heavy breathing behind her, she immediately spoke without looking back.

"Danny, Which one's our car?" Nissan stared at all of the matching blacks cars parked on the side of the road in rows beside the concrete path she was on. Danny tried to catch up with his breath before answering back.

"If you read the templates, I'm sure you'll figure out which one belongs to the Twist family! Let's see if your memory is still good!" Danny said, feeling confident as he crossed his arms over his chest and watched Nissan observe each template carefully when she walked past a black car.

Nissan stared at each template and felt unfamiliar with each one so she walked past the car without giving it another glance. As she was walking, she could feel Danny's stare boring right into her back.

'You think I can't remember my own family's car? Pft-' Nissan let out a short laugh before coming across a car that made her feel at peace and comfortable.

To make sure she didn't get the wrong car, she checked for some special hidden marks on the car. Her hands roamed freely all over the exterior of the car and soon she felt the light bump above the front tyres, her hand traveled on that light bump down to the tyres.

She bent down and zoomed up closer to the grey tyre in front of her. She heard some faint chuckles coming from behind her and she knew straight away that it was Danny, making fun of her in his laugh.

Once she had enough look of it, she stood up and continued walking. Danny stopped laughing and stared at the girl who doesn't even remember her own family car that they owned for years.

"Wait! Nissan-'' he paused when he saw Nissan walking around that same car and got into the driver's seat on the other side of the car.

Danny was stunned and entered a portal of thoughts before the loud slam of the car door closing called him back to reality. The window on his side scrolled down slowly and revealed a familiar face, one of her hands was on the steering wheel while she bent over to the passenger side and stared at him.

"Hey! Aren't you going to get inside the car or do you want me to leave without you?" she said as she started the engine which Danny instantly ran to the back of the car and opened up the boot, he chucked Nissan's stuff inside then closed the boot.

He ran to the passenger side of the car and quickly got in, when the sound of the car door closed, Nissan stepped on the pedals and drove onto the road...
