a space in time

My cousin S is to arrive from Delhi today. She, her parents, her dodappa dodamma, atte mave, and my husband and I, have been looking forward to this event as we all havent met for a long time.
so yesterday went like this...

• S says she will come by Meru taxi on her own,...,
• No no.. let us go and receive her.
• Go by the airport bus and come back together in meru taxi?
• Call the RR taxi and keep it for the entire day...
• Mani, you make lunch, we will stop by your house on the way back.
• Thumba elaborate lunch maad beda...simple aagi anna saaru maadu
• OK, I'll cook dinner, u relax with your daughter, and come to our house for dinner.
• S likes idlis. I will make idlis. you make the rest of the dinner.
• I want to bring sweets from adyar anand bhavan what would she like?

Everyone got up early....her mom, for she was too excited. she herself, as she had to reach the airport in time...in the Delhi fog, Mani as she had to cook the special lunch, and some of us...just because...

Devaru vara kottaru, pujari vara kodbekalla?
Kingfisher had the last laugh.
The flight was delayed from 8.15AM to 10 AM to 1.15 PM. Now they tell us the expected time of arrival is 3.45PM!!
Suddenly...our mind is blank. Excited chatter changes to tired silence. its like....what shall we fill this sudden space in time now?
