Landing Spear

Empty and dark. That's what I see and feel right now. I walk in no direction because I can't see anything. But from a distance there was a slightly dim blue light. I tried to get to that light. But as I tried to get closer to that light, the further away it was.

Soon at my feet was like smoke enveloping my feet. I could not see my footing because it was blocked by the plume of smoke. I, who was still confused, tried to keep approaching the blue light.

After a long while I tried to approach him, suddenly everything was bright and glare. I tried to blink my eyes. After that, I saw clear skies as far as my eyes could see. When I looked down, it turned out that all I had been working on was the clouds. When I look around me, I don't see that blue light anymore.

I don't seem to be alone here. I heard a crowd but vaguely. It was so small his voice. I tried to get to the source of the sound. The closer, the bigger the sound. The sound of crowds of people, laughing children, as well as the sounds of other activities.

It's getting closer. It seemed like the sound was behind this hill-like cloud. I climbed up and tried to get to him. I was almost at the top. My curiosity was growing and unbearable. This increasingly clear and bustling voice sounded in my ears.

I was too thin to reach that top. When I succeeded and opened my eyes, suddenly…

Malka…

Malka…

Malka…

Wake up…

We've been waiting for you…

“Malka!” exclaimed my father with his rather slow tone so as not to wake others up.

I opened my eyes and woke up. I was surprised that I just fell asleep. When did I fall asleep? The incident was like I experienced with real even though it made no sense. I was made more dizzy and confused because all the events were still strongly remembered in my head. Strange, usually when I just wake up I immediately forget the dream I just experienced. Is that real?

Soon the plane was treading its wheels in this metropolis. I was so amazed to look like a kid who had a toy for the first time. But I'm not alone. Many people who were on this plane were also amazed and spoiled by the neat city layout and the atmosphere was very crowded like a full color.

We got out of the airport after taking all our luggage from our luggage. We see a lot of Pinishi but in this city is dominated by four-wheeled vehicles. We were a bit tired because the trip was quite long plus our rest was not so comfortable. We called Pinishi and headed to where we lived in the city.

During the trip I saw skyscrapers towering. Busy pedestrians are orderly, but not crowded, traffic is rather dense, and the atmosphere is apparently much different from Lumiatia especially with the village. It turns out that this looks much more ‘kota’ than Lumiatia which I think is already amazing.

Along our way to my residence I was fascinated and agape with this city. I see a lot of happy people here. But every now and then I also see a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk waiting until someone gives him money.

We live on the west side of Centra. We deliberately did not live in the middle of the city because the standard of living was much higher than in the suburbs. But my father's place of work is in the middle of town. The city of Centra itself is many times the size of Lumiatia. I who had not known Lumiatia was shocked by the vastness of this city. Maybe it took me years to explore this whole city.

It didn't feel like our residence was close. From the airport to here it takes about one to two hours, due to heavy traffic. The airport itself is on the eastern side of the city of Centra. So we went from the east end to the west end of Centra city.

When we arrived, I saw a residence that looked prettier and better than our house in the village. Our residence here is already covered by the company my father worked for. Then we take the luggage from the trunk of the vehicle and do not forget to give additional payment as a sign of gratitude.

After that we went to the front door, my father looked for the key to the door in his bag. While waiting I looked around the house and it was quite crowded. I wish I had a friend here so I wouldn't be lonely in this wild town.

Then my father found the key and opened the front door. When the door opened, we went inside. Again I was amazed by the interior and atmosphere of the house that was peaceful and spoil the eyes. The floor is paired with ceramics and the walls are painted white patterns that make it more elegant.

We also immediately put our luggage and weaned. After cleaning myself and tidying up I went around the house and I was still very impressed with him. What a dream home. It is located on the edge of town.

It's getting dark. We spent a lot of good time today for the trip. I didn't use much time tonight and I went to bed early. Because there's still so much I don't know and know about this town even around our new home.
