Until Here Love
Sultan Aji Muhammad Balikpapan International Airport
Our aircraft landed smoothly at Sultan Aji Muhammad Balikpapan International Airport. I poked one by one the stairs of the plane with a thumping heart, Hans did not release his hand to me as if to strengthen me, and all was well, as Hans said.
After passing through the arrival door, Nina saw Papa and Mama standing waving their hands as if giving their code there, Nina approached and hugged her parents.
"Why pick up?" asked Nina, who was honestly very surprised by this pick-up event.
"It's okay, it's just a coincidence that Papa's colleagues, so just wait for you" replied Papa.
"Where's Hans? didn't you go with her?" mama chimed
"Ech yes... Nina thought she was behind Nina" Nina looked for Hans by looking around her.
Soon the one in search appeared as well, but it was really stifling wait..
"Hi Laura" Ida said as she hugged and kissed Mama Nina's left and right cheeks
"Hi Da, get Hans?" mama said
"Not really, I actually picked up my eldest son, he was going to stop by for a short vacation before his lecture started, just by chance close to Hans' return. Hi Nina, how are you? is my husband bothering you?" asked Ida while hugging and kissing my right and left cheeks
Nina couldn't answer, she just replied with a smile.
It was awkward and embarrassing for Nina. Well, it looks like it's been planned, because for him there's nothing coincidental.
"How about we have dinner together at the restaurant there, while waiting for my son's arrival" Ida told us
Mama, Papa and Nina seemed to look at each other, Nina also gave a code if you can not, really Nina did not want to be close to Aunt Ida, a million guilt seemed to approach and stab her heart.
"Let's go. when else we eat together" said Ida a little pushy.
"Come on Nina, aunt wants you all acquaintances with auntie children, you must like it, aunt besides handsome is also good" said aunt Ida along the road to the restaurant.
There was no rejection from Nina's parents, they followed Ida and Nina to Resto. Hans can only participate in the game created by Ida.
They arrived at the restaurant, and ordered each of them to order food. While waiting for food to come they also chat with each other typical parents who secretly want to match their children. What's the matter, actually? monologue Nina in the heart.
"Pras, Laura, you don't mind if I introduce my son to Nina" Ida said
"What's wrong, just this introduction, and as long as Nina doesn't mind, how can Nina not?" papa replied while glancing towards Nina
"Ecch. Yes Pah, ga papa.." answered Nina briefly.
"I think your son is just Wikky, it turns out there is a big one again" Laura said chimed in
"My son preferred his Oma nemanin in Surabaya, said Oma alone, so he went to school there, during the holidays or he wanted to go to Balikpapan, he just came home" obviously Ida told us.
Nina, Papa and Mama just nod.
The food we ordered came. We also eat food solemnly without any sound, only the clanking of spoons and forks is heard. But the familiar voice in Nina's ear surprised her.
"Hi Ma, Pa... I'm coming" he said while hugging Ida and Hans alternately.
Nina who was eating stopped her eating and looked towards the front where she was fixated on the figure of the man in front of her.
"Karenina" said her who was a little surprised to see the whereabouts of Nina there.
"Alex" said Nina no less surprised.
