The journey to Schiphol Airport was a quick one for the Clouds and Auroras. Indeed Saras and other friends also feel the same mood. Happy because they will meet the family again, but at the same time sad because they have to leave a place that they have enjoyed for a long time. It's just that what Aurora feels becomes a little different because she also has to leave the Clouds in addition to memories of college activities and residence.
Before it was completely separated because Aurora had to enter the airport immigration room, Awan and Aurora embraced each other tightly.
“Well yes in Indonesia,” said Awan quietly while releasing his embrace. He wanted to kiss Aurora's forehead, but it was canceled.
Aurora simply replied with a nod of her head and slowly released the Clouds. His friends just smiled while chatting waiting for the two of them satisfied farewell, because everyone could imagine and feel what Aurora and Clouds felt. The warm embrace of friendship continued between the Clouds and Singgih, Luke, Iqbal, and Saras.
While stepping foot pushing the suitcase and holding her passport, Aurora repeatedly looked towards the Clouds that were still standing in place until she finally had to enter the immigration queue and the figure of the Clouds disappeared from view. As soon as his eyes could no longer catch the existence of the Clouds, his heart rippled with grief that squeezed his heart. Auroras realize that it is time for them to be completely separated by distance and time.
“Hopefully all smoothly, six more months Mas Awan can go home and we will meet,” hope Aurora in her heart to give strength.
In the plane that brought her back to Indonesia, Aurora daydreams about everything. “Why is this heavy parting with Mas Awan?”
From the first moment they met again in a place Aurora never thought possible, to be honest she was so happy. Especially because they became closer, something that also never entered into his delusion. He was indeed afraid and agitated because he saw Saras and Samantha who in his mind was also approaching Clouds. But it turns out it doesn't have to last long.
Her happiness felt increased many times over after their trip to Paris and the Clouds revealed her heart. Aurora never really thought that she would be an Aurora who has a possessive impulse, if she has a partner. He also realized that his heart was very demanding on the affection of the Clouds for him.
“What because from childhood I was never close to men, huh?” Aurora tried to second-guess and think of the reason. He never felt the affection of a father and only knew Om Heru as the man closest to him. It was only until the age of entering elementary school because after that Om Heru no longer lived with them and then had his own family.
“What is true because it is .. so now there is a man like Mas Awan who I feel really affectionate with me, attention, can really snack, and make me no longer feel alone, he said, I immediately melt and resigned and want to save it for me?” Aurora took her breath. “Normal, huh?”
Upon arrival at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Aurora again faced the reality of having to be separated from her friends who were like that family. Aurora continued to travel to Surabaya and Singgih to Bali, while Lukas and Iqbal could go directly to their respective residences. Saras has also been waiting for his family to come together to Bandung. They embrace each other warmly again, especially Aurora and Saras who for a year become so close to each other.
Arriving at Juanda Airport in the evening, Aurora is picked up by her mother, Mirna, alone. A meeting between a child and a parent who has been separated for a year is expressed through a close hug and a kiss on the cheek indicates affection and longing. At home they were waiting for Om Heru and his wife Aunt Dyas, as well as their son, Aurora's cousin, Karin and Angga.
A boisterous atmosphere was heard in the living room with Aurora unceasingly answering various curious questions from her family while unpacking the suitcases distributing the souvenirs she had prepared one by one in a special way. Dinner is still filled with chirping Aurora tells a lot of things that have been lived over the past year. If only Karin and Angga didn't have to go home because they were going to school the next day, maybe they will still gather at Aurora's house listening to Aurora's interesting experience that is able to make Karin also determined in time will look for scholarships abroad.
Aurora does feel tired and wants to rest, but at the same time usually in the Netherlands is still afternoon because there is a difference of time for five hours between Indonesia and the Netherlands. Therefore Aurora chose to lie down in Mirna's room, waiting for her mother who was getting ready to sleep.
While cleaning her face, Mirna lured Aurora into telling her something she had not told you earlier as they gathered.
“Au .. said you back then, you already have a close friend?”
“Hmmm?” Aurora took a glance from the HP screen, turning towards Mirna. She then smiled and replied, “Iya, Ma.” The cloud shadow was clearly drawn in his mind.
Mirna's hand movements stopped when she heard Aurora say the name ‘Awan’. “Cok his name is Cloud? Coincidentally it might be yes, or it's a nickname, her inner” calmed down.
Aurora's voice is heard. “The plan is six months away to go back to Indonesia, Ma. Want to get data. If you can, if God allows it, just come it Mas Awan want to know Mama.”
Aurora took a pause, her gaze directed at Mirna to see more clearly the expression on her mother's face. Just glancing for a moment and smiling a little towards Aurora, the look on Mirna's face was still ordinary and kept busy completing the facial care ritual.
With a slower voice and a slower speech tempo, Aurora continued her sentence. “If you can later when Mas Awan comes it, we can introduce family until marriage.” Quickly he added, ”Bby, Ma?”
The finished Mirna then got up and walked towards the bed. He sat down on the side of the bed, thinking with his head down. Aurora continued to look at her mother and looked forward anxiously to wait. After a while, Mirna raised her head and turned her gaze towards Aurora who had already changed her position sitting cross-legged beside her.
“Mmm ... indeed, the person how, Au?” mirna asked at last in a tone that sounded a little doubtful.
Aurora unlocks her HP password and inside the screen is seen a background photo of Aurora together with the Cloud. Mirna who could clearly see the Aurora HP screen was shocked to hold her breath. Luckily Aurora did not realize it because she was opening the gallery looking for another clearer photo of the Cloud.
Mirna tried to control her facial features to look ordinary when Aurora showed her a picture of clouds smiling brightly set in the open sea in Volendam. Aurora also showed another photo showing the Clouds embracing Aurora as they last parted ways at Schiphol Airport.
Didn't want Aurora to realize that in her mind she was full of questions, Mirna just commented briefly, “It looks like the person is good.”
Aurora laughs amusedly. “Masak sih Mama see the photo aja directly can nyimpulin?”
Mirna answered her son's question with a laugh and replied, ”Insting”.
Hugging Mirna's arm and leaning on her mother's shoulder, Aurora said in a persuasive tone, “The scales of Au are in accordance with the criteria of Mama, really ... Mas Awan is responsible, mature, and certainly dear to Aurora. Mama will agree with Au's assessment if you already know Mas Awan.”
Mirna smiled and patted Aurora's hand that was coiled around her arm. “Iya, we will see later yes how it developed. You live first, hopefully later he comes home Mama can get acquainted immediately. And just like you said, Mama will definitely agree with your assessment. OK?” Aurora also nodded.
After that Mirna broke away from Aurora and stood stepping towards the bathroom accompanied by Aurora's happy gaze.
