'Good man in a strange city'

First, that weird dream which disturbed my power nap, and then I was in New Orleans with that head-busting headache...

Ugghhh!!!!

Nothing was going as I planned...

Shortly, the memory of that nightmare was dissolved but the headache was doubling every second...

"Ahhh!!" I moaned in pain while standing from my seat. I wanted to scream loud out loud but I can't....and the only thing I can do was cursing that flight inside my head, not even a pitch louder.

Frustrating!!!!

The only I wanted to do then was to get out of that airtight contaminated zone.

Soon after I left the airplane the heat started emerging from me added with the massive headache.

It was getting much worst...

It felt like the drug had reached my brain and in no time I would be collapsed but nothing happened like that anyway.

Although, It was nothing worst than that....as I was walking like an alcoholic who would have fallen from stairs or would have broken her ankle but nothing more.

I took my luggage and my backup and finally made my way from the rush.

After emerging from the rushy airport, I took a deep breath of comfort but the next challenge was the deadliest among all...

Boarding a taxicab...

In that killing rush, With my luck I found an old checker taxicab empty....it was my chance I thought, and jump into the passenger seat...

The taxi driver-an old man as old as his taxicab of about 50 plus didn't look offended by my act and he simply smiled

"Good morning mam, Where should this old driver take you???"

The only word I remember saying was "University...."

And surprisingly he also understands the meaning from just a word that was way too smart or I would say clever...because he charged me $5 for the route but it was okay right then as I was not in a condition to negotiate...

I simply sat in the taxi with my little knapsack and the driver loaded my remaining baggage in the boot without saying a word.

After he loaded,

He pushed the taxi's key in the ignition of that taxi cab and its engine-The the noisiest engine I ever heard like which was not even started for centuries rose to life ....but it was fine at least for now because I had only that taxi or I had to wait for another taxi which would approximately take one hour or more.....

And I couldn't take that headache any more so I decided to be in his taxi...It was right to do then...

Slowly the cab started to move on the road...

And next, I only remembered that I was slowly drifted into the darkness without my will while sitting on the passenger seat.

Still silence...

but then I heard a low panting voice in that darkness but still shrilly...

"Go back!!!"

My eyes flashed open wider than ever breathing heavily repeatedly as I had come from underwater....my heart rate was accelerated...

What the hell is happening to me today???? I asked myself....first in that airplane and now in the taxi...

It felt like I was on fire and my head was about to explode.

I held my head tighter just in hope that it will reduce the pain but it was a bummer...

Everything was a failure!!!

"Ahhh..." I let out a little low moar which was hardly noticeable but looking at me writhing on the passenger seat, the driver turns around to ask for the cause in apprehension.

"Y-You okay???"

Sealing my eyes and after binding my movement I speak making my voice even and normal which I couldn't but I tried "I'm fine...Please can you take a little speed...b-because I am in hurry actually...please!!!"

"Sure!!!" he turned around and grip himself on the steering wheel but was still sneaking at me from the rearview mirror suspiciously like I was an addict for sure...

But I didn't even pay any attention to that because I was more focused on the heat and pain which was emerging inside me...

Please stop!!! I shout in my heart in frustration and pain...but no change.

The taxi was driving slowly first into the great-built city and then into the road which looked like it will lead us to endless woodlands...

Maybe The taxi traveled a way of 30 minutes or more but for me, it looked forever...

*The University of New Orleans, New Orleans*

As soon as the taxi halted at the giant gateway of the university, I marched out of the taxi without being remorseful for the inconvenience to the driver...

Still holding my head in my hand...

I took out two fresh notes of 5$ and 1$ from my backpack and place them over his palm...

He looked up at me with his limpid eyes and I lessened my head apologizing for being troublesome "I-I am...sorry" although I didn't have so much money to waste out I just did it...I don't know why but I did it...

He also smiled back hesitatingly..."Thank you...but is it alright???"

I hoisted my head to meet his gaze in awe...I didn't expect him to say so.

I thought he was just a foreign self-indulgent money-hungry man but...

He was a ' good man in a strange city '
