<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Agnia had paused in the aisle and was looking intently at her window seat on the plane.The young woman took a few moments to take it all in, even though people were swarming behind her, some of them noisily growing impatient.Seven hours of flight in a large aircraft.Thirty rows of seats, three on each side.Agnia had picked her window seat with care because she detested the stewardesses pushing carts, people walking, kids playing, etc. However, she wasn\u2019t bothered by noise.<\/p>\n
She understood how to keep herself occupied, listen to music, or divert her attention as a business traveler, and she had long since purchased noise-cancelling headphones.She intended to sleep tonight because she was really exhausted and wanted to be in shape the following day.However, it seems that was not a given.<\/p>\n
A woman with a robust frame took the middle seat.It\u2019s not quite the behemoth you see on American obesity programs, but it\u2019s still not small.Agnia could see that one seat was insufficient, so she used an extension to fasten her seatbelt.<\/p>\n
The woman occupied Agnia\u2019s personal space and most likely the space of the individual who was meant to take the aisle seat by sitting with her legs slightly apart.Or perhaps\u2026 \u2014 Good evening, \u2014 Agnia gestured to her neighbor and indicated the seat in the aisle.<\/p>\n
I apologize, but is this also your seat?\u201dWhat, my seat?\u201d the woman asked, clearly perplexed.\u2014 Your chair. Mine is in the middle, though.Behind Agnia, a displeased voice interrupted, \u201cMadam, please sit down.\u201dShe responded, \u201cGo ahead,\u201d and shifted slightly to the side to give the people more space.\u201dSo, there are three of us here, you, me, and someone else?\u201d she asked her neighbor again.\u2014 Indeed, precisely.\u2014 Excellent, I get it.<\/p>\n
Agnia took a quick look at the issue. Although she weighed sixty kg, her neighbor\u2019s enormous leg would nonetheless unavoidably encroach into her personal space despite her ideal weight.The young woman sighed and hit the stewardess\u2019s call button.The woman next her narrowed her eyes and gave her a dubious look.The stewardess smiled professionally and inquired, \u201cHow may I be of assistance to you?\u201d\u201dI\u2019m sitting by the window,\u201d Agnia said coolly.\u2014 Our flight is scheduled to last seven hours.I worry that there won\u2019t be enough room for my neighbor and me. It\u2019ll be too little, and \u201cHey!\u201d exclaimed the woman, flushed with rage.\u2014 You thin herring, what are you whining about?\u201dI don\u2019t mind,\u201d Agnia replied, shrugging her shoulders.If you don\u2019t mind, I\u2019ll be blunt: you ought to have reserved two seats for yourself.<\/p>\n

\nOr take a business class flight.Neither you nor us will feel at ease in the current circumstance.I haven\u2019t given you any grounds to belittle me, by the way.\u2014I don\u2019t require an explanation!The stewardess stepped in and said, \u201cLook, let\u2019s settle this calmly.\u201d\u2014That\u2019s precisely what I recommend,\u201d Agnia concurred.The stewardess sighed and said, \u201cUnfortunately, there are no seats left in economy class.\u201d\u2014That is truly unfortunate.Are there any other choices?The stewardess let out another sigh.\u2014You can travel in business class with me.\u2014You?\u201dIn business class?\u201d the woman exclaimed.\u2014 And me?Should I remain here?The stewardess responded in a neutral tone, \u201cUnfortunately, there is only one seat left in business class, and the seats are only slightly wider than in economy.\u201dI\u2019ll reschedule this traveler.You will sit much more comfortably than in business class, and the window seat will be free.She turned to face Agnia and asked, \u201cWill you accompany me?\u201d\u2014 With delight.<\/p>\n

\nThank you.The stewardess was followed by Agnia under the lady\u2019s gloomy gaze.When there are no more available seats and you begin to receive these kinds of complaints, what do you do? As she took the new seat, Agnia asked.This time it was next to a charming young man who was also sporting noise-canceling headphones, rather than beside the window.\u201dWell,\u201d the hostess said in a pensive tone, \u201cwe are flying.\u201d\u2014 In a tense environment, to be sure.\u2014 I appreciate your assistance, \u2014 Agnia grinned.\u2014 I appreciate you not raising a big fuss.Oh, I practice law.I\u2019ve practiced.Before departing, the stewardess said, \u201cWe will serve the food and drinks soon.\u201dAgnia pulled out her e-reader and headphones and stretched her legs.She was just happy that she had received what she wanted and had the guts to speak up, without feeling angry or resentful.There was a solution.Agnia opened the novel she had begun and thought, \u201cA peaceful way out.\u201d \u201cI may have gotten myself into trouble during the body-positive era. But if the trip had been delayed, would she have been comfortable for seven hours, or even longer? The fact that she takes up physical space from me irritates me, regardless of her weight. As she went by, the stewardess declared, \u201cWe\u2019re ready to take off.\u201d Put on your seat belt, please. Agnia buckled up and went back to reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
