Fly To Lombok

[What about next week? Mumpung is still on holiday.]

Short message sent by Nakula—senior in nature lovers group. A message that made Kaivan very happy. How not, he had long been looking forward to that day—willai Mount Rinjani and immortalize its beauty.

[I'm okay, Brother. What about the others?]

[I should have called, but no one had bales. Probably still busy]

After reading Nakula's reply, Kaivan rushed to Kennan and Elbi. They were close friends of Kaivan. In addition to nature lovers, all three attended the same university and majored in the same.

Kaivan's smile grew wider when Kennan and Elbi returned the message. They also agreed with Nakula's plan.

"What's up, Kai?" ask Kirana. He noticed Kaivan's movements.

Kaivan looked up and looked at his parents, "It looks like next week I'm going to Lombok."

"So climbing Rinjani?" tymphal Darren's.

"Yes, Pa." Kaivan nodded.

"Prepare carefully, Kai, because the location is very far away. Papa can't go there, can only support and pray" Darren said.

"Yes, Pa. Thank you for being given permission" Kaivan replied.

"Let's bring some souvenirs, brother!" chirp Athreya with a spoiled tone.

"Shirt again?" ask Kaivan. During this time, Athreya always ordered clothes every time Kaivan traveling to tourist attractions.

"Added bags can be." Athreya smiled widely.

"Pity Brother Kai, Reya. Every time you go palakin souvenirs," Reyvan timpal.

"A little doang" Athreya argued.

"A little while so much" Reyvan replied.

"It's okay, Rey. You too if you want to be able to pesen. Rinjani is my dream place, I plan to buy a lot of souvenirs from there. Make Mother and Papa too. I've been hanging out all day for this." Kaivan kept his phone and sipped a half-living drink.

Hearing Kaivan's plan, Kirana and Darren smiled widely, even with Reyvan.

"Mmm, if that's what I want to miss, too" Reyvan said.

"So my mojokin, now follow the pesen. Don't be loved, Brother Kai!" sahut Athreya's.

"Don't be so reckless! I pesennya not goods that use money." Reyvan spoke while looking at Athreya at a glance.

"You mean?" This time, Kaivan asked.

Reyvan chuckles, "You're the big brother-in-law."

Hearing Reyvan's reply, all eyes were immediately on him. Darren, Kirana, and Athreya frowned in surprise because they did not understand the meaning. While Kaivan, he cast a sharp glare while stepping on Reyvan's foot.

Kaivan did not answer, simply turning the eyeball while folding the hand on the chest. Shortly after, Kirana asked that question and Reyvan explained it clearly. He reveals that Kaivan often gets expressions of love from many girls. However, none of them were accepted, including Reyvan's friend Alma—. All this time, Kaivan has not opened his heart to the opposite sex. He is still focused on his education and goals.

"Once again, Mother, Kak Kai's soul mate there, because here there is nothing bad," Reyvan said after telling a story.

"Not nyantol, Mother, just self-conscious. I haven't really been playing love. They are also immature. Yeah, right, Mommy?" kaivan said as Darren and Kirana looked at him.

"Rubber, Mother strongly agrees with your opinion. School used to be real, no need to macem-macem, let alone a courtship that sampe keblas," replied Kirana.

"Don't make mistakes like Mother" Kirana continued in her heart.

"That's it, Mother, Rey. School first, don't date! Try to explain, how many years have you been on the same road." Kaivan smiled widely.

"You got a girlfriend, Rey?" Kirana stared hard.

"Nothing, Mother. Kai aja's brother who ngawur. Which often the same business of the girl he was, even I was accused," Reyvan murmured.

They all laughed and continued the conversation warmly. Describe harmonious family relationships.

_________________________

The alternating days and nights lead Kaivan on the anticipated day. After waiting for a week, the dream was finally fulfilled. Today, he will fly to West Nusa Tenggara. Since dawn, Kirana helped Kaivan prepare the luggage. Starting from mountain shoes, folding tents, compasses, clothes, and other items.

At 05:00 a.m., Darren and Kirana deliver Kaivan to the airport. Apparently, his friends were waiting. They deliberately choose the most early flight to get there soon. Because Nakula said, he wanted to travel around downtown while enjoying culinary, before climbing the mountain tomorrow. While the distance between Malang and Lombok is quite far, about 7 hours flight.

Before entering the iron bird, Kaivan said goodbye to his parents. Kirana was glazed as this was the first time she had taken Kaivan off for such a long distance. Previously, only in the surrounding city.

Darren and Kirana were still silent at the original spot while waiting for the plane to take off. Darren hugged his wife tightly while kissing the top of his head at a glance.

"In the meantime we are also far from Athreya. You have to be strong, honey," whispered Darren.

"Yes. It's just that, it's not comfortable." Kirana answered while rubbing a tear that almost escaped.

Being away from her children is not easy for Kirana. As a mother, she wants to be with her children. However, he also realized that they had grown up. There are many things they have to pursue. This second, still limited to education, but someday will be involved in marriage. Most likely, they will be far apart for a long time. Kirana couldn't possibly hold them off selfishly, having to accept and prepare from now on.

"I certainly can," inwardly Kirana.

After the plane carrying Kaivan takes off, Darren and Kirana return home. At home, Kirana looks for a rush to calm her heart, while waiting for news from Kaivan. His son promised to call when he landed at Lombok International Airport.

However, until the hour hand shows at half-two in the afternoon, Kaivan did not call. It should have landed half an hour ago. Kirana started to frown. Although his hands were busy peeling the apples, but his mind was only on Kaivan. Until finally, he gasped at Athreya's screams.

"Mother! Mother!"

Kirana moved and quickly approached Athreya, who was in the middle of the room. Arriving there, Kirana found her son standing glued in front of the television.

"Mother, this is the plane that Kak Kai boarded, right, Mommy?"

Although Athreya's voice was very soft, Kirana could hear it clearly. Then, he turned towards the television and in that instant his world seemed to stop spinning.

Seriate...
