Said Story: COME BACK HOME

Five years later,

"It is time you are departing, sir!"

(It's time you left, sir!)

Next to Said's eyebrows seemed to rise as he raised his chin. Staring at the bespectacled man in his mid-twenties who had been his secretary for roughly the past six months.

"Is it? Are you really sure this time? ("really? Are you really sure this time?)

Said lowered his head to look at the circular analog watch on his wrist. Sixteen over forty-five minutes. While the schedule should be sixteen o'clock over thirty minutes Riyadh time.

Said frowned at the unhappy sign of the fickle schedule, "What happened?" (What happened?)

The secretary looked a little panicked. A thread of cold sweat appeared faintly at his slightly dark temple. "Excuse me, sir! Actually, because there are some obstacles on the plane engine, so, we can't avoid the delay." (Sorry, Sir! There has been a problem with the engine of the aircraft resulting in flight delays.)

Said stared at his secretary sharply. His forehead was creeping deeper and deeper. His brain that had been honed as Supervisor of one of the private airlines from Riyadh began to think, what problems caused the schedule delay of up to fifteen minutes. Said felt furious.

He stood up quickly. The pounding of his feet wrapped in high-quality leather shoes made the secretary shudder in horror. Said then walked to the departure gate while giving some instructions quickly to the secretary who followed him in a hurry.

"The hotels representatives will pick you up and escort you to the penthouse you will live in. And your new secretary from Indonesia Branch will make his presence at monday morning," (Representatives from the hotel will pick you up as well as take you to the charmer griya that you will live in. And your new secretary from the Indonesian branch office will be facing Monday morning.) explained the secretary in between steps.

Said stopped right at the gate, then turned around to face his secretary who had stopped a few steps earlier. "i understandstand. Thank you of your hardwork for the last six months. I hope you can work much better with your new supervisor!" (I understand. Thank you for your hard work over these six months. I hope you can work better with the new supervisor.)

After saying goodbye to his former secretary, Said rushed into the plane and sat down at the spot a hijab-wearing flight attendant had pointed out. Said thanked her politely to the flight attendant before the woman withdrew from her side.

Said had just occupied one of the seats in the cramped, economy-class cabin when a person wearing a hat-title approached his chair and cleared his throat to catch his eye. Said looked up and saw a familiar pilot speaking while slightly bowing.

"Mr Najib, in our business class there are still some empty seats (seats). Maybe if you want to move seats ...."

Said raised his hand to cut off the pilot's words, "Thank you for the offer, Captain Abdul, but on my ticket it says economy class so I'll stay here until I get to my destination."

The pilot revealed an awkward expression but then smiled in surrender, "All right, Mr. Najib! I hope you enjoy the journey!"

"Thank you!" Said nodded briefly before the pilot finally resigned to return to the cockpit*.

After feeling really will not be disturbed again, Said immediately set the position of the chair as comfortable as possible and slightly squat feet. This is not the peak season so many seats are empty even in the economy class he is currently riding. The seat next to his seat was also empty, making Said able to sit down in relief.

Despite occupying quite an important position in the airline, but Said did not always choose the most comfortable seat in the most expensive class even though he was very capable. Sometimes he does choose to sit in economy class just to observe the services provided by the flight attendants are equivalent to the services they provide in the best class even though different facilities.

This is a golden opportunity for him. With his mutation to Indonesia he can not only go home to meet ummi and his sister but he can also reunite with his friends. Perhaps even, he could visit Singapore more often to meet Milla—girl who for the past few years has always filled some of the empty space in his heart.

Just by thinking about being able to meet the girl more often, Said was so excited. So excited, air travel for approximately seventeen hours with two transits did not make Said look exhausted.

The next day, when he had just disembarked from his last transit plane, Said rushed to the baggage claim and queued out of the arrival gate. Said dizzy looking for the person in charge of picking him up. If the representative of the hotel who picked up should be the person carrying a board that says my name, right?—he thought.

Said's gaze which is now getting sharper due to honed by the demands of his profession as a reliable and calculating supervisor began to explore every corner of the arrival waiting room at the airport. The look in his eyes crossed every person standing behind the pick-up line quickly, until he passed a figure he seemed to know for a second, but then his eyes immediately returned to the figure.

Said's eyes widened as his heart and mind confirmed who he was looking at. Milla!—call her in heart. The now-grown woman clearly returned her gaze, and also smiled at him. It was as if the woman was there for him.

A wide smile lifted the corners of Said's lips. His mouth slowly formed the letter O, separating the upper lip from his lower lip with a distance that was not excessive. Said was astonished to see the figure of Milla who was standing a few steps before him. It was completely different from the figure of the innocent sweet girl he had known five years ago.

Said walked with wide steps, trying to close the distance that lay between himself and Milla. His eyes watched the girl closely. She saw Milla smiling from her lips that polished nude lipstick that perfectly matched her exotic skin color.

Make up minimalist but appropriate and not excessive make the appearance of Milla now looks more mature. Plus the dress style of the girl who also impressed more mature but polite. With black trousers, a light pink plain knit blouse is combined with a casual, ivory white blazer. Making the curves of the body of an adult woman Milla radiates freely and so beautifully.

Although polite, but all that is more tempting faith Said. His growing sense of self is tempted by Milla's far more beautiful and classy changes than the last time they met, that is when he released Milla to continue his studies in Singapore under sponsorship from the Group Throne.

Milla's body may be covered, but the clothes she wears accentuate the attractive curves Said had just thought of. Said's heart was pounding faster. Made his blood instantly bubble. A faint challenge rose up slowly inside Said's head wanting to see even more of Milla's covered body.

Athaghfirullah! Shaiton nirojiim ... Basic pervert! Durjana!—Said curses her own thoughts. He tried hard to swallow his saliva to wet his throat which suddenly felt dry.

Said observes Milla's pointed nose before moving to her rancid-looking lips. The lips made Said wonder what it would feel like to come into contact with his own lips. Will it be as soft and smooth as it looks?—he thought glazed over. OH GOD! What the fuck is my brain? So desperate I just met again with Milla fill my head immediately filled with perverted scenes.

Said until had to repeatedly beristighfar in the heart in order to expel the perverted demons that dwell in his brain. The man was still grappling with dirty thoughts in his head when Milla started to open her voice.

"Father Said Najib of Tahanina Airlines, introduce .. I'm Millana Risty, the hotel representative you will be staying in for the first month of your tenure in Indonesia." Milla closed her introduction with a nod of her head and body that slightly bowed a sign of respect.

Hearing Milla's introduction that was so official, Said was stunned and forgot the cool impression that had been embedded in him. He repeated Milla's introductory sentence in his head until fully digested.

If Milla is a representative from the hotel where I live later, then she has returned to the Land of Dong? Means I can see Milla again any time dong? The conclusion he summed up in his head instantly made Said's heart flowery.

Like someone who just won the grand prize, Said immediately exclaimed as he cupped both hands to his face, "ALHAMDULILLAH!"
