Chapter 79 Airbus A380
Something interesting is happening on the flight. As everyone got seated with plenty of seats untouched, someone unexpectedly screamed while the flight took off.
Hannah's face is not very good at the moment. In the true sense, Hannah found out something about herself, and others noticed it. She is seated beside Samuel and is overlooking the window. It was her first time flying; it was the first for many people: Samuel and Adele are also included in that category. But they seemed fine, apart from the momentary discomfort at the beginning, but Hannah was not taking this flying thing smoothly.
She found out through experience that she was afraid of heights. She held Samuel's arm for the entire time when the flight took off. She was confused, but Samuel quickly caught on to it and calmed her down.
Now, looking through the window, sudden dread overcame her whole body, and she began shaking lightly. Samuel had to practically stand up and console her, which eased some of her discomforts temporarily.
"It's going to be okay. Don't worry; big brother is with you." Samuel has to whisper every few seconds to calm her down.
As the flight ascended to a safe distance, others also got up from their seats to check up on her. With the help of everyone, she finally felt safe and smiled a little.
Samuel already understood the risks of caring for a small child during the trip, but the reality was much harsher than he anticipated. He evaluated his decisions and promised to take care of all bases in the future.
But he had the best solution for the situation; this heavily modified flight had all the necessary facilities to relax. Although the Rothchild family recently bought the plane, It already had many such rooms.
" Come, lets get up and walk a little. You guys should also explore the plane with flight attendants. I will take Hannah to the main area."
" Come Hannah, You will not feel better sitting beside that window. Let me take to a fun place." Samuel held Hannah's tiny hand to push her off her seat.
Samuel took Hannah to the central area; the bottom deck's second section features a 'wellness room.'
This room is lined with carpet on the walls, oversized sofas, and a big top-of-the-line TV screen on the floor. This TV screen is linked to the high-resolution satellite to directly connect you to your favorite channels. A small box cabinet was placed beside it with several movie cases. They were all CDs featuring the latest entertainment, including programs suitable for children.
The viewing experience is enhanced by the atmosphere that has been artificially created. A scented breeze is pumped into the room for a natural feeling which puts your mind at ease. It immensely helped Hannah.
" Feeling better?" asked Samuel, to which Hannah nodded and gave an affirming nod.
" It was scary looking out the window, everything became smaller and smaller, and I also felt dizzy," Hannah recalled her experience as both of them sat on the Sofa. The light, silky structure sucked them in and enveloped them, giving a supreme cozy feeling.
" It is alright. Nothing will happen as long as I am here. You are not good with height that's all." Samuel said.
" I was like that when I took my first flight, too," Oscar said from behind the Sofa; he had just arrived to hear some of their conversations.
" Really? I feel bad that I made everyone worry." Hannah said innocently.
" No, if you ever feel uncomfortable, you should always tell adult around you." Oscar said.
Sometimes, Samuel becomes dumbfounded by how good Oscar is with children.
" I still remember our first meeting. Is he only strict with me?" He thought.
" Oh, how unexpected." A female voice rang in a mocking tone. Samuel already knew the owner without looking at Oscar's back.
" I guess, its a repeat of Lobby." Samuel muttered.
It happened precisely as Samuel predicted. Karoline and Oscar started arguing and left the room to not disturb us, others also entered the fray, and Iblis picked up an animated movie that would suit Hannah.
Compared with the airliner of civil aviation, this plane had all the seats available, so it was not crowded as one would expect. Everyone got seated as flight attendants brought snacks for us to munch on.
London to Tokyo distance is 5975 miles or 9615 kilometers. The average flight time from London to Tokyo is fourteen hours. They had a lot of time to kill, so watching a movie would not hurt.
They took the flight in the late afternoon, so they would probably reach their destination early next morning.
The group enjoyed the movie; it was dinner time by the time they finished it. The film was good as the theme resembled someone overcoming their fears, especially Hannah, who felt extra motivated after the movie.
A scrumptious dinner was served as Oscar had already anticipated and planned ahead. Several excellent cooks were hired by him to give everyone a fresh and warm meal.
Airbus A380 is equipped with professional electric heating equipment, and Everyone was praised for the meal.
Although the crew also comes with a working meal and established cooks, it is different from the food made by the Rothschild family. The family cooks are in a league on their own.
Everyone sat together for the meal; it was a large group, and Samuel insisted all non-essential members have dinner with the passengers.
The group initially objected, but after seeing the seriousness on Samuel's face, they had to agree. It was a new experience for them as they are usually treated as 'extra weight' that the 'Elites' have to keep around. Everyone says some people are ruthless, but if you ask them, they will all point toward these 'Elites.'
They were grateful for Samuel and gave their best for the rest of the trip. They could feel that something was different about him.
The crew also had a share. The Captain and the Captain took turns eating and thanked Samuel. This also shows that the boss loves employees.
The rest of the flight went uneventful; everyone wandered around the plane for a little while before heading to bed. Oscar and Karoline stayed up for a time talking secretly; Samuel and another passenger also noticed, but no one could determine what they were discussing.
" What do you think? " Iblis began as the rest of them converged in the corner of the central area.
" Nothing good, they were just fighting few hours ago. Now, they are talking peacefully without raising their voices. " Samuel gave his two cents about it.
" What is the big deal? Leave those two alone; they could be going over travel plans." Adele said from the side, utterly disinterested in the matter.
Samuel's spidey senses were tingling, but he decided to let it go for the time being. He also instructed Iblis to do the same, scaring her with how Karoline would react if she found out about our gossip. It worked, and everyone went to bed for the night.
The girls took the big room, with Hannah needing emotional support in an emergency. She would need Adele or Iblis's company.
Samuel went to sleep in the room beside them.
In the morning, everyone freshened up and got ready for landing. Hannah sat beside Samuel, but this time, she sat in the middle chair with her eyes closed. The flight began it's decent--
When encountering the airflow, the shaking becomes more intense.
The plane entered the scheduled route and started leveling down, with white clouds outside the porthole.
"Hannah, open your eyes, trust me, the scenery outside is beautiful."
Hannah felt a little itchy in her ears as Samuel's voice wandered in her ears.
She trusted Samuel's words and opened her eyes to the temptation of beauty. The breathtaking scenery caught her eyes, with white clouds surrounding the plane.
The plane flew very smoothly, descending slowly and slowly, and Hannah felt that she was not so nervous anymore.
The same thing happened as things got bigger and bigger; tall buildings, which were the size of the grain, morphed into fist size as the flight rushed toward the ground.
"Thank you." said Hannah.
"Do we need to say thank you?" Samuel smiled.
"Yes, no." Hannah also smiled.
This incident brought the two closer together. Happy time is an excellent way to cover up the boredom of the journey. After 14 hours of flying, the destination is close at hand.
The landing was smooth, showing the driver's excellent technique. The plane taxied on the runway for a while and finally stopped at the designated spot.
Not long after, an extended luxury vehicle stopped by the plane.
"Thank you for the smooth journey, your technique is great." The suspension ladder of the plane was lowered. Before getting off the plane, Samuel thanked the Captain; despite being scared at first, Hannah expressed her gratitude to the staff too.
The whole crew was already a fan of Hannah's cuteness but seeing a little girl expressing sincere gratitude made their heart melt again.
"I am very happy to serve you, young master Samuel, young miss." said the Captain.
Under the guidance of the flight attendants, everyone got off the plane.
Beside the lengthened car, a man in his early 30s who was smiling like an idiot stood.
After seeing Samuel come out, he greeted him.
"Uncle David, thank you for picking us up. " Samuel said and noticed his happy smile.
David, the leader of the security detail for the family, came before everyone else to secure safe passage for Samuel and others.
But he was strangely happy.
