Episode 2 The Stranger Place

EPISODE 2 OF A STRANGE PLACE

During the journey, all the three of them did was to remain silent without a word, silent around him. Yeah, they're fast asleep. There was no silence between them. They always have a new topic that is very interesting to talk about, whatever it is. And of course that only applies to them, because some people think that they are too noisy if they are together. If silence occurs between them, then they are in a state that does not allow to talk, such as sleeping and attending classes.

Their families have a very close friendship, so they are used to each other. Sometimes their parents hold small dinners, just to strengthen the relationship between the families. Arora, Chemira and Fimela have been friends since childhood, they even always go to school in the same place. Well even though their classes are not always the same, but they always take the time to play together or even just sit around and tell each other stories. It is that close relationship that keeps them together and complements each other.

When they wake up as soon as their plane lands. How not, the impact that occurs when the plane makes a landing is one thing that cannot be avoided. Well, maybe that only applies to Chemira and Fimela, whereas Arora is still fast asleep with a sinless expression of peace.

“Aroraa, Aroraa, wakeh.” Fimela's scales are right in Arora's ears. Arora never woke up from her slumber. Because the passengers of the plane were getting quieter, because most of them had gone out of the plane, Fimela finally ventured to raise her tone. “Aora!! Wake up!! Fire!!” Fimela. Hearing this, Arora immediately woke up from her sleep. “Hah?! A fire?! Where?!” Arora Exclamation. Chemira and Fimela laughed at Arora's reaction. “Fimelaa!” Arora is upset because her best friend always pranks her.

Of course, for Fimela there is no day without judging Arora, as if it were an obligation that he had to do every day. “You anyway, the plane has landed you are still sleeping. Do you want to be left?” Fimela said in a mockingly contrived tone. “Yes not, who would want to be left on the plane.” Replied Arora with a pouting face. “Kalo don't want to be left really, hunt down there. Later even escorted back to Indonesia.” Chemira. Shortly after, they got off the plane.

At the airport

After the three of them took all the belongings, they walked towards the exit and were about to look for a taxi. “Aduhh!!” Fimela is in pain. “I'm sorry Miss. Here, I help you stand.” Said the foreign man who suddenly hit Fimela. Fimela refused the man's hand, and Chemira and Arora helped her to her feet. Since his helping hand was not accepted by the woman before him, the man felt a little awkward.

“You okay Miss?”Ask the stranger with guilt. “I'm fine.” Answer Fimela coldly. “I'm really sorry for today's incident Miss.” Said the man while bowing his body. Fimela simply answered her with a short nod. “Hm, may I know the name Miss?” Ask the man enthusiastically. “Take a guess yourself.” Fimela answered briefly and then immediately left with her friends. The answer made the foreign man even more curious about the woman who had just rejected him. ‘Hm,,pulling. May we meet again little girl.’ Inner man it is.

The three of them left the man in an indifferent manner. They didn't care about the stranger they had just met. “Huh, basic man. Fimela, you must not be fooled by such a man.” Arora. “Take it easy, Arora. Don't we usually shy away from guys like that? I'm quite used to the sudden change of attitude and expression if I have to be faced with a situation like that.” Fimela said calmly.

“Hahh, I'm just worried about you.” Said Arora later. “iya, you know it.” Say Fimela.”Taxis have arrived, when do you want to talk?” Tegur Chemira's. “Good.” Arora and Fimela simultaneously rolled their eyeballs lazily.

“This is the house we will live in?” Ask Arora in disbelief. “Ya, any problems?” Chirps Chemira. “No, I just didn't expect a house like this that we would live in. A simple, minimalist home. I like this place to stay.” Said Arora while observing the scenery in the surrounding environment. “I asked her on Papah.” Chemira said with a satisfied grin.

*flashback on*

“What kind of residence do you want there, Chemira?” Amzar asked his daughter. Chemira was silent for some time to think. “I like the usual and simple house with a soothing view of the eyes.” Answer Chemira. “Hm, okay. Will Papah find for you.” Shortly after, Chemira spoke up. “Pah, may I request another small house in the suburbs?” Ask Chemira back.

Amzar was a little surprised to hear Chemira's statement. The only daughter of his puppet had never asked for anything like that before. “For what, babe?” Ask Amzar. “I think to open a business there, so that Papah and Mamah do not have to bother sending me money every month.” Chemira answered enthusiastically. Amzar was moved by the words of his daughter. “Yeah, boy, you don't have to think that far. It's Papah's job to give you pocket money and a comfortable life. You don't have to bother opening your own business.” Said Amzar who was really touched by the words of his son.

“No, Pah. My decision is round. If Papah can't fulfill my request, it's okay. I'll open my own business with the savings I have. I was also thinking of making this an opportunity for me to learn how to set up a business.” Chemira replied in an indisputable tone.

Amzar could not dispute his daughter's words. He realized that if Chemira's decision was unanimous, nothing could change that. “Alright, darling. Papah will find you a place to open a business. What kind of business do you want to make?” Ask Amzar back. “I was with Arora and Fimela once agreed to open a flower shop. Papah doesn't mind, does he?” Chemira replied in a tone of wanting to be sure.

“No. Papah doesn't mind, honey. Do as you please. Papah will also provide an empty land that you can use to plant flowers that you will sell.” The reply from Amzar made Chemira very happy, then she immediately approached her Papa and then hugged him while saying thank you. “Thank you, Papah. I love you.” Chemira said while peeking at her Papah's cheek, then she immediately rushed out of the workspace Amzar Prasaja.

Amzar, who rarely saw his daughter's behavior like that, could only untangle the smile on her face. “I have to tell Emely about this. She will definitely envy me.” Amzar said as he left his study.
