CHOOSE SILENCE
Chapters. 3. To Italy

The splashing of rain water is mutually agreeable. Dancing happily on the leaves. Decorate each leaf to make it look cool. As cool as my heart when I see you smile in the morning. On this cold and rainy morning. I remember about our memories.

This morning describes my heart. I was lounging, plus some cold air. I glanced at the small clock on the nightstand, apparently only at 6 am. Isabella rolled back in a thick blanket, beginning to shut her eyes again.

Tok

"Darling you're awake?" mama knocked on the room while calling me. Maybe because there was no answer Mama just entered, it just so happened that the door of the room was not locked.

Clamps

Door opens. Mama shook her head to see Isabella still rolling with the blanket. Mama approached while rubbing my head.

"Honey let's get up" Mama woke me up. But it does not produce results. "It's a shame you'll miss the plane" Mama added back.

As soon as I woke up, I just remembered that this morning I was going to Italy.

"What time is it?" ask me to Mama. The sleepiness just disappeared.

"Relax baby" Mama rubbed my shoulder to calm me down.

I smiled and hugged Mama with affection, rarely a moment like this because it was separated by distance. Mama looks fresher this morning, I can feel the smile that disappeared 2 years ago is now starting to come back.

"Well clean up soon, Mama will prepare breakfast" said Mama as she got out of bed.

I'm nodding. She smiled again, then walked out of the room.

"Kasian Mama" I muttered with a look at Mama's back that was beginning to disappear. I also went into the bathroom. There is no time to relax, rather than miss the plane. Yes, this time I will get used to boarding a private non jet.

At the dinner table

We enjoyed the breakfast made by my mom. For the kitchen, you are in control.

"What time does my brother leave?" moses asked me, wiping his mouth, indicating he was done.

"Hour 10" I said as I chewed.

"Are you sure?"

I frowned at Moses' question.

"Are you sure you want to get on a plane?" tanyanya back.

I took a long breath.

"Of course my dear sister. From now on Big Brother will get used to it," I replied with vigor.

Hmm

"Can't you come?" ask Mischa.

I glanced at Mischa for a moment.

"can't. Don't you have a test tomorrow" I said, refusing quickly.

"Handering Brother" he said.

"Workout," I remember Mischa because tomorrow she will take the TNI education test. Mischa's ideals follow in the footsteps of the late Uncle Cloud. Rarely do the descendants of the January generation become military.

"Amin," we said, confirming Mischa's speech.

In the living room I talked to Papa and Mama. Moses had left for the office 5 minutes ago, while Mischa prepared herself with exercises I don't understand.

"Darling are you sure you went there alone?" asked Papa with a slightly worried look on his face.

"Yes Papa" I replied with a smile.

"Why are you going there, baby? Mama does not want something to happen again, Mama does not want to lose again," said Mama with a sad face, even her eyes glazed over.

I took a breath that was so sad. I took Mama's hand and rubbed her back. "Dear mama don't worry, your daughter is fine" I tried to make Mama feel calm.

"As a parent Mama must be worried baby" said Mama while squeezing my fingers.

"I know Ma" I said briefly.

"It looks like Papa's daughter is so spirited hmm is there something there? for example meeting someone," teased Papa with eyebrows down.

"Papa," I protested because it wasn't true.

"Do you have a lover?" mama asked, maybe they are curious because all this time I have never introduced my lover, how to be introduced because my status is acute singles.

"There's no time to think about it Ma" I replied modestly and that's the reality.

"You're beautiful like this, no man glances at you" Mama said as she tidied up the slightly messy newspaper sheet after Papa read it.

"Esteemed of course countless Mama," I said.

Hmm

Not that no man was interested in me but to think about it was unthinkable, even I was popular on campus. There was only one man that caught my attention a little first that was my senior. But after he graduated never saw him again.

I want to go to Italy because I just want to visit and find something without telling my family. I want to find information that is certainly very difficult, even our extended family did not get it.

We stopped the chat and I went to the room, while Papa and Mama busied themselves in the back garden, apparently watering the plants. This was the morning of my parents. As long as Moses replaced Papa, Papa never went to the office, so his days only accompanied Mama. I am proud to see both our parents living in harmony and one more romantic.

°°°°°°

I arrived at the airport and checked in. No one recognized my status because I was wearing a mask and glasses, except for check-in counters or airport staff.

I patiently queue. A lifetime this time feel a new thing because as I've been saying all along using a private jet. Coincidentally today the passengers were quite crowded so it took me 30 minutes to stand up. Of course this makes me complain a little but this is my determination.

In the waiting room I busied myself briefly checking the phone. I smiled at the notification message from Papa and Mama. I immediately replied one by one.

"Good morning. We regret to inform you that the rainstorm in Jakarta has delayed some flights. Z xxx flights to Italy scheduled to depart at 10:15 are now scheduled to depart at 12:00. Please check the departure board for more info and updates on each flight. Please visit the customer service desk if you wish to cancel your flight. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you." Thank you."

I took a deep breath hearing the announcement. This is what I avoid very much. Hours of waiting in the waiting room with a crowd. I refocused my phone and did not forget to report the delay of the departure schedule for 2 hours.

"A shitty start. Why the hell is it raining all of a sudden," I nagged myself. Just imagine I have to wait 2 hours. "Prophe Abel, be patient." I tried as quietly as possible.

I also heard the disappointment of some of the prospective passengers, what else there are some of them carrying children. It's not just me who's upset.

Seriate....
