Jemima's Choice

Chapter 83

"Good night, passengers. This is a pre-boarding announcement for Garuda Airlines passengers with GA XXX flight number to Sorong . We invite passengers with young children and passengers who need special assistance to make their boarding first. Please prepare your boarding pass and identification. Regular boarding will start in about ten minutes. Thank you" the voice of the announcement officer for boarding has been heard calling Mother and Child who had earlier been impatient to leave for Sorong to meet their families who had not met for 4 years.

"Business class please enter first" said an officer set a queue that will be sent first to the plane.

He saw the ticket in his hand and handed it to the officer. "Give me Mother" said the officer.

Jemima and Dira entered the plane greeted with smiles drifting from the flight attendants who looked beautiful and ready to serve them.

"May I help you" said the flight attendant and took them to her seat.

"Wah Mama we sit in business class, thanks Mama" said Dira happy because he could sit in business class. Not the first time he rode it, when Darwin invited him to Bali he also sat in Business Class but it felt very different because it was not with his loved ones. If his mother gave him an economy class Dira would still be happy, but this was due to Gerry's compulsion to tell him to buy direct flights and use business class. Gerry could not bear if they had to spend hours on a plane and transit first in Makassar. Jemima just smiled at Dira's thanks, he did not want to tell me that this was all because of Gerry.

While waiting for the plane to take off he sent a message to Gerry that they were on the plane.

"I was on the plane with Dira, preparing. Thank you Boss for the plane ticket & 'em" Jemima wrote in his message.

"Sama-sama Darling. Have fun with Dira. I'll miss you 'bout" retorted the man who is currently at a club enjoying his lonely night because his lover left behind.

"You just sleep Dira, tomorrow at dawn we will get there" Dira also agreed with the words of his mother because he also felt a very drowsiness. Once the plane takes off and is in the air 15 minutes Dira's eyes are closed perfectly and continue into the dream realm. Likewise Jemima who is also not strong enough to withstand drowsiness. The journey that took up to almost 5 hours without feeling they went through, had to wake up briefly because of the shock and then continue to sleep again.

The flight attendants announced that they would be arriving soon at Domine Eduard Osok Airport (DEO) in Sorong, the flight attendants asked the passengers to prepare themselves, enforce the backrest and not to go to a small room. Jemima wakes Dira slowly so that the child is not surprised when the plane wheels touch the airport runway.

"Dira woke up we have reached Nak" he said slowly while shaking Dira's shoulder.

Dira slowly opened his eyes, still feeling heavy and sticky.

"Yes Mama, Dira is still sleepy" he said slowly.

"Yes later when the plane stops waking up, because we have to go out first" and answered with a nod by Dira.

Just when the pilot stepped on the brake when the wheels were grounded, Dira immediately woke up. The sky was still dark but the lights from the airport illuminated the surrounding area. Dira and Jemima prepared to get out of the plane to walk through the garage he saw around the airport did not expect that the airport in East Indonesia was modern and this good. His eyes glared in all directions, amazed he thought the airport would look unmanageable but it was no different from the one in Jakarta.

After finding their luggage Jemima and Dira walked towards the exit. Looking for a man she hadn't seen in a long time, her sister-in-law Yuda.

"Sister of Judah" his servant to the man who had begun to bulge from the last time he met.

Yuda immediately approached them and greeted Jemima, then Dira kissed the back of Pakde's hand.

"How are you?" ask Yuda

"Halah rapopo" then Yuda takes 2 of Jemima's suitcases pushing her towards the car park.

"Your sister, that's a big smile. From yesterday talking to keep going on your streets" Yuda started a conversation when the car was out of the airport.

"Yes Kak, I also can't wait to enjoy a vacation with you guys" Jemima enjoyed the surrounding scenery, he saw the beach on his left side that still looks dark and crowded will house residents on his right side. The journey takes about 30 minutes. Until they're in a simple 1st floor painted blue. Julia welcomed her sister from the door while holding her 5-month-old second child.

When the car door opened, Jemima hugged her only brother.

"Bak I miss" hugged her and without tears on both cheeks. Julia's the only one she's had since her parents died.

"Sama Mbak is also kangen, healthy you are there deck, let's go in cold" Julia invited while holding her sister's hand.

"Dira Salim used to be the same Bude" Jemima told Dira who still looked sleepy.

"The handsome nephew of Bude, if big so what artist model is it. Bule gini faces sell well in entertainment" said Julia

"Hus!! Want to be an architect he said Bude" said Jemima explained the ideals of Dira yng hobby of drawing.

"Yes, whatever is important, be responsible. Bude wish you the best. Now you wash your face and hands after that change clothes and sleep for a while, it's still too early" said Julia while gently rubbing the boy's head.

"Aunte koq's niece is awake" Jemima notices a cute baby named Nuca being held by Julia.

"Usually*****, later also sleep again. You're also there to clean up and rest there" Julia then shows you an empty room that Jemima and Dira can occupy while there.

Jemima and Dira went back to sleep until the sun came up. Jemima then looks for her brother after finishing cleaning himself and Dira.

"Have woken up Je, this is breakfast first, try special cuisine here. Papeda and Red fish love yellow gravy. Special cuisine here, you must like" Julia explained enthusiastically about her skills now cooking typical food Sorong.

"This is how to eat" Julia took 2 small wooden sticks and rolled the papeda dough and put it on her plate.

"Interesting Mbak" said Jemima semeringah because trying a new experience in his life.
