Airports


I walked slowly, passing the gaze to the entire side of the airport looking for the whereabouts of Akash and the porter. Just the first time I went to the airport, I didn't understand the procedure I had to go through here. Seeing the directions and arrows I was confused by the terms I did not understand.


"Damn! Where's my bag Akash brought!" sassy ku.


I continued walking until I finally saw the security guard standing guard.


"Excuse me sir. Numpang. Which way is the flight to Switzerland?" my many.


"Mba has booked a ticket? Have you checked in?"


"Have booked a ticket but the goods and all the documents brought my husband, if you want to go abroad usually where did you go, sir?"


"Try me to the chek in counter over there, who knows your husband is there." The security guard pointed out a place that seemed quite far away.


"Okay, thank you sir." I'm back on my way looking for a chek-in counter for overseas flights.


"Chek in. chek in. chek in.." I muttered as I walked quickly.


Arriving at the chek in place I was increasingly confused because it turned out that there were so many counters with various kinds of airlines and different classes. I'm getting confused, even if I don't know what plane to use. There are more than eight counters here.


"Ah, stop. I'd better go home, but how do I get home?" my thinking.


I turned around and remained silent for a moment, trying to get away from the place. In my mind there is only one thing. How can I return to Bandung safely.


Wait, isn't Akash rich? She says she's a businesswoman, should I search her name on Google? Looking for his company's phone number and having his men pick me up? It seems like a good idea.


I looked around, looking for someone I could borrow.


"Oh yeah, the security guard," I thought.


"Where are you going?"


Just as I was walking, a voice I knew stopped my steps. Knee limp. Suddenly the feeling of surprise made my body tremble. I sat on the floor, a feeling of relief bursting out as if making me fall from the highest place.


I heard Akash walking from behind and standing in front of me, while I was busy adjusting my heartbeat to beat very fast. I wanted to curse, yell and curse at the man but my tongue was muddled.


"Hey, what's wrong with you?"


"I thought you left me" I said softly.


"You can follow me here. So I checked in and kept the trunk, "he explained.


Akash extended his hand to me, though still shaking me I tried to grab it. As for me, if left in a foreign place without money, cell phone and identity ciut also my guts.


Akash suddenly crouched down and pulled me into his arms. I took a deep breath and exhaled it violently. A few seconds later my body was normal. Cuddling calms.


"You scared? Is this your first time at the airport? Go far?" tanyakanya.


I'm nodding.


"I'm sorry, I don't know." Akash patted my back slowly.


"Is it better?"


"Yes." Yeah." I broke away from the groove of Akash and stood up.


"This is your bag" he said.


Without any excuse Akash grabbed my hand and led me to a lounge. There weren't many people there, just a few Caucasians, me and Akash.


"What do you want to eat?" akash asked after we arrived in front of the pantry. He handed me the menu book.


"I want meatballs."


"Okay, wait there." Akash pointed to the row of chairs.


I complied and sat by the window with a view of the plane. Outside the rain is quite heavy making the light reflect on the rainwater points on the window.


I turned my head forward, I saw my husband talking to an officer. When he finished, he sat right in front of me. I thought he was going to pull out his phone and get busy as usual, but he looked at the window instead.


"Yes?"


"Have worked in the distro for a long time?"


"Lumayan, since my father was sick until now," I replied.


"What kind of work did your father do?" ask Akash.


"My father died two years ago."


"Oh, sorry. I saw in your room quite a lot of literary theory books. You went to literature?"


"Yes, Indonesian Literature. I'm actually a year late for graduation. There was a teacher who I thought was unclear. He kept telling me to revise but I don't know which part was wrong" I complained.


"You agreed to our contract because of that?" ask Akash again.


"One of them is yes, I have not paid practicum money and SPP these three semesters. Not to mention the registration and graduation money. Relying on my salary is not enough." I explained.


"You didn't tell your mother?"


I'm shaking. "I lied to my mom, I told her that all my college expenses had been paid using my savings. I have absolutely no savings."


"Why is that?"


"You know Akash, a family will limp if one of its backers collapses. Since my father died, I owe a lot of money whether it's for my college tuition or other needs. I sacrificed my tuition so that my mother could repay her debts" I explained at length.


Akash nodded his head. "What are your plans after this?"


"meaning?" I understand the meaning of the question.


Suddenly a waiter came to bring us our ordered food.


"What are your plans if our marriage contract ends, Maya?" Akash began to feed his food.


"Let's go, maybe I'll go out of town. Looking for a job, I don't know yet" I replied.


"Why go out of town? I see your grade transcripts are good, working in Bandung you will get enough salary."


I stared at the man in front of me. Ranbir Kapoor really only cares about himself. But it looks like he started looking at me, when did he see my stuff? When I shower or sleep?


"Maybe you don't know this is Akash, it's not easy for a woman to be widowed. I think getting out of town is the most appropriate thing." I replied firmly. Hearing that Akash fell silent.


We stayed in the lounge for a long time until boarding calls for our flights were announced. Akash put on his sweater and took me to the gate, he walked in front of me with a medium-sized backpack on his back.


Asik walked alone arrived - suddenly Akash turned around and extended his right hand. I slightly ran after him and grabbed that burly hand. I also taught her the steps.


Akash and I continued walking into the boarding bridge. From here I can see the plane closer. The rain was still heavy, from the window of the garbarata I could vaguely read the blue writing on the large body of the ship.


At the door of the plane Akash and I were greeted by a stewardess in a red uniform. Akash nodded and took me in.


"Oh, so this is on the plane" I said in my heart.


A large row of black-gray chairs lay inside the cabin. Akash's steps stopped at one of the chairs in the middle of the room.


I nodded my head as I looked around the room. The middle row seats are designed differently, there are two seats next to each other so that they can be accessed by two people. The left and right sides have only one seat near the window.


I sat down and checked all the features in the chair, there were so many buttons that I didn't really understand. Akash helped me change my shoes with the sandals that were provided. He handed me a pouch that turned out to be hand body, odor, perfume, toothbrush and others.


"Rich at the hotel" I murmured.


"Akash how long have we been on the plane?" my many.


"Eleven or twelve hours. Wh why? Do you often get drunk on trips?"
