Mama For Mikaela
FORTY NINE
The seven hours journey was finally completed. Segara led Lana out of the arrival gate at Incheon International Airport. Two suitcases he handled himself, not letting Lana bother to graze a suitcase larger than his.
From the airport, they left for the hotel by taxi. Their hotel is not too far away, only about 25 minutes from the airport. Maybe Mama did deliberately order a close one because she knew they would be very exhausted once they arrived in Korea. Moreover, they arrived at the middle of the day, where the sun was shining so hot as if it could burn anything he hit through his hot rays.
While in the taxi, they did not engage in any conversation. Segara only heard Lana occasionally exchange her voice with the driver, using Korean. Yeah, she also just found out that Lana can speak Korean. More and more he feels guilty because in fact the woman named Kelana Larasati complete is indeed a lot of ordinary.
The taxi driver escorted them to the front of the hotel lobby, helped take two suitcases out of the trunk and offered to carry them inside, but Segara refused.
After the handover of the suitcase, Segara rushed to the entrance, where a well-built man seemed to stand by there. His face is Korean. Yes, he meant, similar to the actors he often saw on the screen. No, Segara does not like everything that smells Korean, whether music or drama. But Karenina likes it. So every once in a while, he would join in when the woman was busy watching the drama.
Long he swings his steps, only to realize that Lana is not tailing behind. When she turned to make sure, she found the woman crouching near the location of the taxi that had taken them to the parking lot. He was about to turn around, but stopped when the woman was already standing.
When Lana turned around, Segara saw the existence of an orange cat in the sling of the woman. With a bright smile, the woman walked up to him who was still standing about 5 steps from the entrance of the hotel.
“Ngapain? At the hotel it is impossible to bring in animals.” Tandas Segara without shady aling-aling. Lana is smart, but on some occasions, she does find that she likes to be random. It is not impossible that the woman thought to bring along the fierce-faced orange cat to enter the hotel, right? “Turunin.”
“Ih,” is the first one out of Lana's mouth. But still, the woman followed Segara's instructions to remove the orange cat from her carrier. “I also know that in the hotel can not enter animals.” Said the woman while grumbling. The orange cat was still there, sitting casually as if it had no sin.
“Terus?” Segara raised his eyebrows next to his. His grip on both handles of the suitcase was removed, as he was more interested in folding both arms in front of his chest, preparing to hear a reasonable explanation as to why Lana picked up the Oren and carried him. “You want her cat?”
“You I love to eat!” Lana exclaimed with spirit. “In my suitcase there is dry food and wet food for cats and dogs. I want to give some to this sweet guy.” While pointing at Oren the puffer who was now even intolerant near Lana's feet, showing off her distended stomach.
Flirtatious! Fucking cat! Rutuk Segara's. However, he still helps Lana unpack her suitcase, take out a saset wet food famous brand measuring 85 grams and then thrust it to Lana.
“Thank you,” Lana says cheerfully. Wet food was he sambar, then he continued to grab the body of the Oren then brought the hairy animal away, looking for the best spot to feed.
Segara could only silently watch how Lana did not look difficult to bring the fat— Oren who strangely did not mereog—ke an area planted with several trees. There, the woman poured the wet food she brought, allowing the Oren to enjoy her lunch.
It did not hear his wife say what to the Oren, but if his head can be a little imagination based on how the woman communicates so far, more or less the content of his speech may be this: “This, , please eat. Enjoy your lunch slowly, yes, sweet, do not choke. I do not bring drinking water, so later you find yourself, yes.”
Goddamnit! Just like that, Segara chuckled amusedly. She could have imagined Lana actually saying that. More supported again when he watched Lana still squatting near the Oren who ate greedily while rubbing the animal's head.
Through the scenery, Segara found one other side of a Lana. He seems to be starting to understand, instead of communicating with fellow humans, the woman seems to be more happy to communicate with animals.
Disclaimer only, Segara will not judge. There are some people like that. There are groups of people who are more comfortable greeting animals because they think humans are boring—and creepy occasionally. Even if Segara was endowed by God with sensitivity and affection for the animals, he would probably do the same.
Unfortunately, he is not. Not hate. He never thought of doing anything bad to the wild animals around him. Whether it's a cat, a dog, a chicken or any animal. It was just that, he also did not want to get any closer to them. He just. for no apparent reason did not like them too much. According to him, the animals are quite left to live as they want, there is no need to intersect with each other because humans and animals do have different lives.
Ah, about his wish to be born as a pig alone, please forget. He was just being emotional, not really wanting to be born into that pink animal.
Long enough Segara stood like a fool in his position, waiting until Lana finally ran to him after being satisfied to feed the Oren— who now had somehow run to where.
“Udah?” tanyakanya.
Lana nodded with a spirit that still radiated through her two neutrals. “Come, login.” Bring that girl. One suitcase was taken over, and Segara could not prevent it because his hand movements lost quickly.
Their situation has changed. It was he who was now led by Lana to enter the hotel. The woman walked with full confidence towards the reception desk, talking to the female attendant who smiled kindly—still in Korean. Because he did not understand, Segara decided to stay quiet, waiting until the check-in process that was being taken care of by Lana was completed.
It did not take long, the access key for the room that had been booked by Mama had moved into Lana's hands. A bellboy greeted them from the front door and drove them to the receptionist to take over the suitcases, leading them to get to the room they had booked.
Arriving in front of the room, Lana knew-know thrusting palm, pointing at Segara who did not know anything.
“For money, make tip.” Said the woman after Segara did not move.
Sighing, Segara reached into his pants pocket, took out a few pieces of won money and handed them to Lana. Let the woman think how much the bellboy who helped them should be tipped.
Instead of taking everything that was proffered, Lana only took 2 pieces of 10 thousand won, then assigned it to the bellboy.
The handover of the suitcase and the tip money is completed in no time. Bellboy said he resigned himself while bowing his body as a sign of respect. Lana bowed back, while Segara who was not accustomed to the culture in the country of the ginseng was just silent.
After that, Lana who held the access key immediately moved to open the door. And how shocked the two of them were when they found an unexpected sight inside there.
A Honeymoon Suites-type room was reserved for them. One King Size bed mattress decorated in such a way with flowers studded on it became something that attracted the attention of both of them the most. It's like they're actually on their honeymoon.
“Ugh,” Lana moaned involuntarily, making Segara immediately turn to her. “Pak Segara does not mind sleeping in a kayak gini room? I mean..”
“You want to book one more room?” segara proposal without a second thought. What he caught from Lana's expression was discomfort. All he can offer is a way out.
Oh, Lana just doesn't want to waste more money renting one more room. Honeymoon Suites alone must have cost a lot. No way, although not born of the poor, Lana still did not have the heart to squander money. After all, his body was small, if you have to sleep on that long sofa. Not a big deal.
At least, that's what Lana thought. Yes, he was just entertaining himself. You guys just shut up.
The final decision, they accepted fate. With matching giant steps, the two of them entered into the hotel room while gnawing on each other's luggage.
Like Lana said, the goal is a velvet sofa. Directly he land his butt there while Segara chose to sit on a mattress full of flower petals.
When Segara's palm touched a sheet of flower petals there, he grimaced. The feeling, when he went honeymoon with Karenina to Bali, they took care of everything themselves. The room they chose was not this type either, as Karenina preferred to venture outside rather than just staying inside the hotel room. Paying dearly for a room only to sleep at night after tired of sunning the body on the beach? Karenina wouldn't do it.
The flower petals that disturbed his hands Segara put away with a slightly sewot movement. Then he casually glanced at Lana who now looked moping while glaring at the window. Looking at the shady trees that swung to and fro in the wind.
In that instant, all Segara thought about was one; what was in Lana's head when she agreed to marry him at that time?
...----------------...
By 4 o'clock, Lana couldn't stand just staying in the room. Moreover, the atmosphere is getting weird. The flower petals scattered on the bed are still there, Segara may be too lazy to get rid of it. While for hours after their arrival, there were only a few chatter times that occurred and all of them did not last more than 2 minutes.
That ugly.
With one breath that escaped freely, Lana lifted her buttocks from the sofa. He walked over to the suitcase he had placed in the corner of the room, crouched down to look at the box for a while before finally opening it slowly. One long-sleeved sweatshirt and one training pants he took out of there, then he brought the padlock suit into the bathroom to replace his tangled nightgown.
Before long, he came back out of the bathroom. Used nightclothes he put in a basket of dirty clothes available, then he galloped to Segara who was intolerant on the mattress.
“Pak, I'm permission to go out for a while, yes. Bored in the room continue.” Her words bluntly.
Segara practically woke up from a tambourine position, staring at Lana for a moment before finally shaking his head. “I'm afraid you're lost, later repot.” The reason.
For that, Lana immediately put on a convincing look. “I've been a regular walk in Korea, safe.” While patting his own chest, acting pretentious in front of Segara which in fact was the first time to set foot in this country.
“Don't do it, why the hell?”
“I'm bored, Mr. Segara,” reset Lana. For the first time, she presented the sight of rolling lazy eyeballs at her husband, leaving the man stunned in disbelief. “Bby, yes? Please.. won't be long, before dark I'm back again.”
Segara sighed softly, then nodded unwillingly. “Yes already, but don't go far. Hape Miss also do not die, so I can contact Miss if there is anything.”
“Ready!” so enthusiastic Lana to raise her palm and put it on the temple, put a respectful attitude.
It looks funny, it doesn't lie. But Segara desperately held back that his laughter did not explode so as not to offend Lana.
After getting permission, Lana moves away. With that, he walked towards the door. But not until his feet were in the doorway, he braked his steps then turned around quickly.
Segara's face that looks confused became the first sight he found. And the look of his confused face grew even more so as he tattooed his yelp.
“What?” ask Segara suspiciously.
Not good, but I have to say. So while scratching her neck that does not itch, Lana said, “Can you ask for money, sir? Who knows I want to go.” End awkward rarity.
Again, Segara felt his stomach tingling. Whether because Lana was in contact with Micah too often or how, she felt the way Lana asked him for something sounded similar to what her daughter always did.
Not wanting to make Lana wait, especially with that awkward smile, Segara also rose from the bed. He took out some more won notes, presented them to Lana and again asked the woman to choose which sheet she wanted.
Lana smiled brightly, then took 4 pieces of 50 thousand pieces and 2 pieces of 10 thousand pieces. The rest goes back into Segara's wallet.
“Thank you.” Lana nodded again.
This time, Segara could not help but smile when he replied, “Sama-sama.” Then let go of Lana with a wave of hands and a message to be careful.
Seriate

Okay, ignore.
