A Pair of Space Wings
Garbage Packing

At 01.00 am Arum was ready to go to the airport, just waiting for the pickup car to come. When Arum exited the room, the same time the front door was opened, his father came home drunk. Only then did Arum step in to help his father, at that moment the door of his mother's room was open.

The woman wearing a thick army shirt and an old gray long skirt came out in a hurry to get to her husband.

As much as his mother's love for his papa, very knowing if the one who came home his papa, while he who came home and went to work alone was never welcomed as enthusiastically as that.

"Mas, you're home?" Nining lowered her body, helping her husband who had fallen due to the influence of alcohol.

"Hey, tell Arum to obey what Alex wants" he rattled in a drunken voice. "Alex would never have married Arum if Arum had never been willing to give Alex what he needed."

Arum sighed at the thought of his papa, true he loved Alex very much, but to fulfill what Alex asked, he could not, not necessarily after he gave up everything he had, he said, Alex will take responsibility and marry her, Arum's common sense is still running.

Nining nodded, straightening her husband's legs on the sofa, taking off the shoes and socks she was wearing.

"Yes, I'll tell Arum later, mas."

"Don't do it, yeah. Alex has been too patient with Arum. Even he was looking for satisfaction with another woman."

"Y-yeah, mas. I'll definitely pass this on to Arum." Nining helped her husband remove the buttons of the Didik shirt, but her hand stopped for a moment to see there was a lipstick mark on the collar of her husband's shirt, and there was a sign of love along the neck and chest of her husband.

Nining's chest was tight and it hurt to see him.

"One more time," He lifted his index finger into the air, "if Arum won't comply with Alex's request, my position will automatically be replaced by someone else. Tell your son, don't be a selfless woman, can't return the favor. Remember our lives helped Alex a lot."

"Yes, Mum."

Hearing Nining's reply, Didik reflexively pushed Nining's body, until Nining fell down.

"I hate your answer which is just yes, but not done."

"I'll definitely do it."

"Soah, boil some warm water for me, I'll take a bath, my body is very tired."

Nining quickly ran into the kitchen, fulfilling her husband's request. Arum turned his face up, driving away the saltwater that wanted to fall from his eye. Afterwards, Arum pulls his suitcase out before anyone finds out.

Angkasa down the stairs with his proud pilot uniform that has been attached to his body, he looks more handsome and dashing when the pilot hat and long tie neatly attached to his uniform, he looks more handsome and dashing, his right hand dragged the suitcase he always carried with him every time he served.

He smiled greeting his twin brother, sister, and mother and father who had already sat there.

"Good morning everyone." he said as he pulled the chair next to the clouds, in front of him were Delia and Aira, his only sister.

"Good morning also My handsome brother like a prince," Aira replied to Angkasa's greeting cheerfully.

"There must be a desire." chirped the Clouds.

"No, wuekkk," Aira stuck her tongue out at the Clouds.

"For my beautiful sister like Elsa." Space's messing with Aira's hair baby.

"We've started breakfast, don't joke, I've had bad luck." Abian stopped his children's jokes that were not expected to stop in one hour.

"Aren't you late yet? Anterin Aira yes to campus." Aira asked with a made up face.

"Why really? usually a driver." Delia who asked while pouring soy sauce on Abian's plate. Space focus so moved to the soy sauce, the contents of the soy sauce has moved to a special bottle owned by his mother.

"Ma, soy sauce last night has Mama moved in?"

"Where's the old bottle, Ma?" ask Angkasa impatiently.

"Mama threw it in the trash."

Without asking much more, Angkasa stood up and walked towards the trash can that was beside the back door. Making Abian, Delia, Cloud and Aira who saw the behavior of Space dumbfounded.

Angkasa without hesitation, knocking down the trash can until the contents of it scatter out, no matter the smell of bu*uk pungent, just Angkasa can breathe freely has found the ketchup bottle, he did not care, then without a second thought Angkasa washed the bottle cleanly in the sink, making his brother and parents who saw his behavior so astonished.

"Why are you picking up trash, Ang?" tanya Delia approached Space.

"Make a collection, Ma. This ketchup bottle is hard to come by now, Mama knows for herself, the supermarket is big, only this one is left" she replied with her hands busy washing the ketchup bottle, saying, then wipe the bottle using tissue to dry.

Aira, Cloud, and Abian looked at each other at the reply of Space.

"Geez baby, this is a lot of other places, just the supermarket we went to last night just the stock ran out. Mama can buy you one carton if you want."

The smiling sky turned towards Delia.

"But this one is different, Ma," he replied reassuringly, Delia just kept quiet, watching what Space was doing.

"The Space Shuttle has arrived, Ma. The space departed first yes," Space kissed Delia's forehead and cheeks, then took her mother's hand to be experienced.

Then Angkasa kissed Abian's hand, and kissed Aira's cheek, not to forget he said goodbye to twin sisters in their own right iru while bertos ria ala men with his left hand who still hold a ketchup bottle that is very valuable for him today. Then without awkward he put the ketchup bottle into the pilot's suitcase, put the bottle between a pile of spare uniforms and clothes instead, lest the valuables scuff and dent.

"Aren't you going to Aira?" the girl asked, her face looking sad.

"Other times, it's too late." Aira scrunched her face at Angkasa's reply, and stomped her feet upset, because Aira intended to brag Angkasa to her campus friends, after she boasted about the Clouds a few weeks ago and made the entire campus.

Delia accompanied her son's departure with a look full of astonishment and confusion. He sat back down to continue his delayed hope.

"Mama lately felt there was something strange about Angkasa," complained Delia to her son and husband.

"What's up, Ma?" The cloud asked.

"Yes, you saw for yourself, he picked up the bottle from the garbage patch,"

"Maybe it's because Space needs it, Ma." The clouds tried to explain, even though he himself felt strange about the behavior of Space.

"It's not just that, at that time Mama wanted to wash her uniform that was spilled by coffee also can not, even the uniform is displayed on the bed."

"What the hell, Ma?" Abian who had been silent since then commented.

"Let's know, hopefully our child does not get the disease that now attacks the artists ituloh, what's the name Mama forgot."

"OCD?" guess Aira.

"Well, yes it is," Delia confirmed, "one more Mama forgot, Angkasa also nyimpen a used pack of bread in her suitcase when Mama unloads the suitcase Angkasa. Weird right?"

The cloud that was chewing his food suddenly slowed down his chewing, he remembered the Reini curse that said if Angkasa rejected Reini because there was already a woman who filled his heart, Cloud smiled, and said, very curious who is the woman who managed to make Angkasa into a garbage collector like this.

"Where did that ketchup bottle come from, Ma?" ask the cloud and want to know.

"There was a sudden love to Mama when Mama wanted to go home, but Mama did not have time to ask what her name was, even though the word Angkasa, soy sauce abis."

The clouds nodded, he was able to deduce if it was that girl who had managed to snatch the heart of Space.
