For Kahiyang

43: Back to Reality

Kahiyang looked for an empty seat after checking in and handed her two suitcases. Then he sat down. His sunglasses are still on. As he wished, to the airport without family. Kahiyang wants to enjoy his solitude. He really wants to let go of everything. Short memories between him, Satria and also Earth.

"Hello, Ma" he said to Brisia.

"Have you arrived?" asked Brisia from the phone.

"Already, Ma. Kahi again sat down, wait a minute," replied Kahiyang.

"Be careful son. Always praying. Pray for Grandma to recover quickly so that Mama and Grandma quickly to London," said Brisia. It was hard not to take her daughter to the airport. For the first time.

"Yes, Ma. Mama Papa also take care of health. And about Earth, don't fire him. He's a smart doctor, the mainstay of our hospital." said Kahiyang. Although Earth had hurt him and lied to his Papa, Kahiyang saw from one side the positivity of an Earth.

"Yes ... Mama try to talk to Papa later. I love you my son" said Brisia.

"I love you too, Mama," replied Kahiyang, wiping the corner of the eye. Brisia is really capable of being the figure of a biological mother that Kahiyang always longs for.

The phone connection ended. Kahiyang spread his gaze around, then he saw someone he hated but missed.

Both are silent. There was no smile or movement at all. They looked, as if speaking with their eyes.

It is clear, they both have the same great longing.

For ten minutes they stared at each other. Until the sound of a flight notification to London is heard. Kahiyang disconnected the view first, then got up from his seat. Kahiyang walked further and further, while Satria remained silent in her seat and continued to look at Kahiyang's back body.

His feet were heavy to go. Kahiyang wanted to turn around and hugged Satria, saying everything. But he broke it. Kahiyang kept walking away from entering the garbarata.

So did Satria, wanting to chase and hug Kahiyang. But he knows himself. His beloved belongs to someone else. There was no suspicion whatsoever when he saw Kahiyang was alone. Satria thinks Kahiyang left because of the demands of his London campus.

"If it wasn't for that news, you'd still be by my side" Satria said, recalling Inggrid's stumbling incident and making it all the more difficult.

"I'm off marriage, Mom. But I can't. You have a family you should be happy with. I assume the past never happened." murmured Kahiyang, staring at the window of the plane that would be preparing to take off.

They split up that night. The plane carrying Kahiyang flew to the European continent while Satria went to the Australian continent.

Each journey of life will bring its own story. Whether it's happy or disappointed. In fact, Kahiyang and Satria both hold those memories. Lips can speak, deny, but the heart cannot be lied to.

Wrong love in the wrong situation. The young Kahiyang, made the story a youth experience. So that he always remembers that something that starts with a mistake, will end in disappointment.

Although his hands could not hold and hug Kahiyang, but the feeling he still kept in his heart. There is no denying the charm of a haughty young girl like Kahiyang, it is difficult to be brushed aside and forgotten.

Satria wants to calm her mind to Kangaroo country. The country he lived in for several years to find work experience, before deciding to return to Indonesia, inherited the foundation owned by his parents.

And for this time Satria came back for another reason. Many times Hanna whines to come along, but Satria subtly rejects her.

"Papa's just been there for a minute. Hanna can call Papa. At any time," he told the princess who was being embraced.

"Why should you go far? Why can't Hanna come, Papa?" whining again.

"Papa's got some important business there. Hanna is still not recovering. Papa promise, we'll both have a vacation. Wanna?" Satria tried to persuade her daughter not to continue whining to come along.

"Promise?" ask Hanna. Satria nodded, linking her little finger.

What kind of household is lived only for the benefit of one party only?. Satria remained silent for protecting Kahiyang. He did not want Kahiyang dragged into his household problems with Ingrid. Moreover, her lover has become the wife of others, she thought.

For now Satria is losing. He relented. But in his calm Satria has prepared something that he will reveal later. Although Kahiyang already impossible he has because it has become someone's wife, Satria will still do the plan. His household with Ingrid could no longer be saved.

Day by day, week has changed. Kahiyang busied himself in his campus to finalize a contemporary art exhibition to be held in Indonesia which Satria's foundation became one of its promoters.

Kahiyang is so tenacious, meticulous and focused. Until he did not realize there was a German man looking at him continue. Kahiyang was sitting in the cafeteria alone. He examined each file in his right hand, while his left hand held a sandwich.

"See who?" bryan asked Jarvas. Bryan and Jarvas are both in one major with Kahiyang. Bryan is from England, while Jarvas is from Germany. The two of them did not team up with Kahiyang in the project.

"Kahiyang .." she replied. Still looking at Kahiyang.

"So you like him? No, she's not a silly girl. A lot of people know that she is hard to date. Find the other one. Move on brother" Bryan said.

"Either that. Because she's not a cute girl, so make me even more curious" Jarvas said. His curiosity for Kahiyang had been long enough.

The beginning of his meeting in the campus lobby. Jarvas was looking down at his phone and hit Kahiyang who was carrying some painting equipment. And brakk .... All scattered.

"Stop! Go awaylah. I can do it myself" Kahiyang said when he saw Jarvas would help him clean up the mess. Kahiyang doesn't like anyone touching his belongings.

Jarvas straightened his body and put his shoulders together and said, "OK ..." Jarvas left but occasionally he looked back and stopped and turned around. Jarvas photographed Kahiyang who was picking up brushes and other items.

"Broast but beautiful" she murmured.

"Who?" asked Bryan who had suddenly come to embrace him. Then he looked at where his friend was looking.

"That asian girl?" ask her, then Jarvas nodded.

Afterwards Jarvas grew happier as they were often one class. Although never in one team at all when the division of tasks.

Kahiyang's phone vibrated on the table. Jarvas walked over and knocked on the table. Kahiyang.

"Your phone is shaking," pointed at Kahiyang's phone.

"Then?" kahiyang asked because Jarvas was still standing next to his desk.

"Don't be too busy with the exhibition. Eat enough and don't be late. Your stomach can hurt," Jarvas said, putting a bottle of vitamin for Kahiyang and leaving.

Kahiyang was astonished by Jarvas' sudden arrival, and gave him a bottle of vitamins.

Kahiyang lifted the vitamin, put it in a bag. Then leave the canteen.

One missed call from Earth, Kahiyang ignored.
