Chapter 42 All about Dubai
"Welcome to the Dubai International Airport. Sorry about the bumpy landing.
Please remain seated until the plane is parked at the gate.
Also, please be careful opening the overhead bins".
All the passengers starting to go out of the plane and took their luggages out the bins. Kendra was the only one left on the seat.
The cabin crew noticed her still sleeping and started to wake her up.
"Ms. Ms. Ms."
"Yes, Ms."
As Kendra looked around. Nobody was left in the airplane except her.
"Oh my God, Ms. Cabin Crew What happened?Why are there no passengers?Where are they?"
"We already landed in your destination."
"Am I in Dubai now? Is it for real?I am sorry that I slept like a log. Where is the exit?"
The flight attendant helped Kendra to get her luggage at the overhead bin and pointed the exit door. Kendra still could not
believe that she was living in one part of her dream and that was traveling other country. Kendra was in cloud nine getting out of
the airport with her luggages.
"This is surreal. I am now living in my dream. Not totally the whole big picture of my dream because this is only one country but I
am certainly for sure that there are more countries out there to be travelled for and I am super excited that I know it is coming
next."
Kendra was totally overwhelmed of joy of what was going on to her life at the moment. She was so amazed of her new world as
she saw different new things, and people. She closed her eyes to feel more of the new place she was in. The guy named Lemuel
was having a call at the corner when she saw Kendra again going out of the airport. He suddenly hanged up the phone and
gazing his eyes towards Kendra. Lemuel was so drawn to her like a magnet.
"Who is she?Why am I drawn to her?Is she the one for me? She really caught my attention."
Lemuel kept asking himself and followed where Kendra going. At the blink of his eyes, Kendra suddenly disappeared on his
sight. On the other hand, Kendra was looking for a sign board of her named company.
"Where is that signed board?How could hardly find it?"
"Are you Ms. Kendra Clark?"
"Oh yes, I am..You are?"
"I am Shakil your staff house manager. Welcome to Dubai. I will bring you to your housing which is a Villa."
"Did I hear you right?Villa?Am I going to stay in a Villa?"
"Yes, Ms. Clark."
"Wow, Is that a large luxurious residence? A staff house?"
"Yes, Ms. Clark. You are in the city of wealthiest in the seven emirates. This is the city of skyscrapers. This is the land of Dream,
where all the dreams easily come true. "
Kendra was really feeling awesome listening to Shakil's story about Dubai. Both were got out of the airport and a limousine car
stopped in front of them. The driver opened the door for Kendra. She felt that she was in a her dream world where she was
surrounded by beautiful, and fancy things.
"Am I not sleeping Shakil? Are these all real?"
"You are not sleeping Ms. Clark. Everything that you are seeing are totally real."
"This is awesome. I only see these all in T.V. or in a story. Do you believe in living happily ever after?"
"Hahaha...That one I dont think exist. Anyways, we are here now. There you go. It has 12 apartment. This is what we called a
Pink Villa. There is your pool and garden. Lets go inside. There is a big kitchen with a complete cooking set, sala set, a computer

gift from our hotel. I hope you enjoy your stay, work and Dubai."
"Oh wow, Definitely! I know I am going to enjoy everything in here. Thank you Shakil."
"Any problem you will encounter about the housing in the future just call me. All right?

"Thank you for your wonderful stories about Dubai and the Villa Shakil."
"You are welcome, Ms. Clark. It is part of my job and I know for sure you will enjoy your stay in Dubai."
"Could you tell me more about Dubai Shakil?"
"Okay, Dubai is also a city of ports, and beaches, where big business takes place alongside sun-seeking tourism. Because of its
large expatriate population, it feels like a Middle Eastern melting pot, and the atmosphere is generally tolerant. You will have a
sand storm but not as bad at it seems. It rains once in a blue moon. Islam is majority religion but there are some catholic
churches and other churches exist here. It is a country of multi nationals. You will definitely enjoy of everything in here so that is
all I can say for now about Dubai, Ms. Clark. I really have to go. See you again nextime."
Kendra was feeling so so good. She could not explain how she felt. She was still in cloud nine. She was roaming around the
Villa. She was still amazed of everything she was seeing around her and realized something.
"Everything I need is right here and right now. What else do I ask for? I am living in my goals and dreams now. Although Dubai is
just part of my dream and not yet a whole dream for me however, it is already feeling so so good that I cannot explain where
these all feelings are coming from. I dont know what is gonna happen next for me but for sure it is always good."
