Air flight becomes a scary thing for Mother Ervita. Throughout the flight, Mother Ervita seemed not to release the hand of Dad Pandu that he always held. His heart was pounding, his eyes were often closed from being completely scared.
"There's Dad, Nda," whispered Dad Pandu.
"Just be afraid. How many more minutes anyway? He said the flight was only 50 minutes, why did it feel so long?"
A voice pitched complaint uttered by Mother Ervita. It made Dad Pandu laugh a little. More than 25 years married, his wife never complained, but now Mother Ervita suddenly complained a lot. Whether it's fear, deg-degan, or asking the duration of the flight listed is only 50 minutes between Jogjakarta to Jakarta, but in fact it feels long.
"Well, Nda is really afraid, you know" said Mother Ervita.
"Yes, Nda. Yayah also knows. There is only Yayah here. Just relax. Imagine when we were young, Nda often accompanied Jayah out of town. Even if you get in the car, now try to get on the plane."
Mother Ervita was finally silent. If it wasn't for Irene, she wouldn't want to get on a plane. Later when returning from Jakarta to Jogjakarta, Mother Ervita will ask her husband to take the train only. Transportation is considered more comfortable for Mother Ervita.
"Infant Nang-Nang, Nda. Funny-funny loh. Here's a look at the photos of Nang-Nang" Irene said by giving her phone.
There are indeed some photos Irene took with her nephew's object. There are even photos of Nakula and Sadewa since the baby. Seeing the photo, Mother Ervita became calmer. He took one photo after another of his grandson. Pandu's father then smiled at Irene. That is a surefire way to divert Mother Ervita's fear.
"Cakepable grandchildren. The handsome. Hopefully later if you get another grandchild given God a beautiful grandson," said Mother Ervita.
"Aamiinu. Well, later if not from Indi, from Irene, Nda. Kan Irene later yes growing up, there will be someone who asked for it," said Pandu's father.
Irene then smiled. "Irene wants to work first, Dad. Enjoy the time of working first. A 25-year-old marriage is okay" Irene replied.
"Just like Madam Indi yah, Dek?" reply Mother Ervita.
"Yes, Nda. Enjoy your single days and work first."
Distracted from the fear, until finally the announcement that the plane will soon land at Halim Perdana Kusuma Airport. Mother Ervita again felt fear, she grasped tightly the hand of Dad Pandu firmly. While Dad Pandu also rubbed the back of his wife's hand. Until the wheels of the plane trace to the ground and also go so fast. Really it makes the heart of Mother Ervita feel like it would be dislodged.
"Finally arrived in Jakarta," said Pandu's father.
"Oh my God, her heart is willing to stop" replied Mother Ervita by holding her chest. Both of his legs were trembling now.
Pandu's father was actually sorry to see his wife like that. However, Pandu's father felt his wife had dared to defeat her own fears. Dare to fly from Jakarta to Jakarta.
The three of them also did not immediately get off the plane, choosing to wait first while Mother Ervita could calm herself more. After that, they began to go down the plane and pick up their suitcases. Heading to the exit. Until finally they ordered a taxi to the boarding place that Irene had been looking for before.
Yes, in Jakarta later Irene decided to host at a place not so far from the school where she taught. The distance to the boarding house with the school where Irene taught was only ten minutes if taken by foot.
"This is Jakarta, Nda," Irene told her mother.
"It's really hot in here. A lifetime this time Nda set foot to Jakarta," replied Mother Ervita.
"Well, Nda?"
Mother Ervita then nodded her head again. "Yes, this time to Jakarta. Lifetime time. You know the reason Mother does not want to go to Jakarta because she does not want to take a plane. Now for the sake of escorting her daughter Mother, Nda wants to defeat that fear."
Irene was moved to hear it. For children, parents will try to do anything. Just like her Nda who finally dared to defeat her fear and board an airplane to take her youngest daughter to Jakarta.
"Yes, by the end of the week we will be back to Jogjakarta, we will be on another plane, Nda?" take Dad Pandu.
Mother Ervita quickly shook her head. "No, I don't want to, Dad. Oh, yeah, Dad. Mother was very scared. We relax by train. Let Indi and Satria pick us up also closer just at Tugu Station."
Pandu's father then smiled. He was just teasing. After all, returning home by car is also not a problem. From the airport, they took a taxi to Irene's boarding place. Indeed, previously Dad Guidan advised that Irene to find a good boarding place, and the distance is not so far from work. Although the price of the lease is more expensive.
Upon arrival at the boarding house, Irene was well received by the hostess who turned out to be a native of Surabaya. Irene also introduced her parents who will be in Jakarta for one week. Not to forget, there are souvenirs that Mother Ervita gave to the hostess.
"A little souvenir from Jogja, Mom."
"Well, make me miss Jogjakarta. Although Jakarta to Jogjakarta is close, it is only passing because it has to travel to the East. To Surabaya," replied the hostess.
"Titip our daughter well, ma'am. During our daughter's stay in Jakarta," said Mother Ervita.
"Yes, Mom. Irene looks good and smart. Everything must be fine" replied Miss Kost.
After that, they rested together at the boarding house. Mother Ervita felt dizzy after boarding the plane. So that he slept for a while even when closing his eyes it felt like swirling. While Dad Pandu also slept on the sofa. It was like that first. What is important is that Mother Ervita and Dad Pandu already know that the Irene boarding environment is in a good environment, not far from the highway.
In addition, at the end of the road there are also minimarkets and also various stalls that sell food. At least to meet daily needs can be reached more easily and Irene can walk.
"It's a residential area, huh, Dek?" ask Dad Pandu.
"Yes, Dad. Go inside again, he said the elite residential neighborhood. That's why the rent is more expensive. It's inside the room there's also a mini kitchen, an inner bathroom, and AC, well. So more privacy," Irene replied.
Dad Pandu nodded his head. It seems more privacy and more comfortable. Hopefully later Irene can be independent and take care of herself during her stay in Jakarta.
