"Miss. Liem's? Can you hear me? Miss. Liem?"
The Cabin Suite door was knocked many times. Esther who was trying to sleep at that time, jerked, more so because of the plane shock that made her frail body almost jump into the air.
"Miss. Liem's? the plane is experiencing turbulence, are you okay sa-aw!!"
From behind the door the voice of the flight attendant was also heard worried. It seems he has trouble too. Esther struggled to grab the Gravity-protection from a drawer near the headboard. Twice it failed to stick it on the temple due to the uncontrolled shaking of the plane. Fortunately, in the third experiment, he successfully connected emergency protection.
The body that was originally thrown on the bed can finally step on the cabin floor perfectly. The emergency protection that only Ester has ensures his body is not affected by environmental conditions including turbulence.
Esther opened the door and was shocked to see a flight attendant named Hellena who had been calling her was thrown in the air.
Ester pulled his foot towards the passenger seat and was a little rougher than he was supposed to be occupying he also installed his seat belt.
"Can you just press the intercom and tell me?"
Ester looked at the stewardess. He hated being disturbed while sleeping. Moreover, that chance he rarely got.
Hellena was amazed to see the owner of the Jet still standing perfectly fine among the many cushions of the sofa that scattered to the ceiling.
Ester approached the intercom near the television table and began to speak;
"Hey stupid! Did you forget the blue button near the lever?"
His voice went straight to the cockpit, where the pilot was running the plane. The pilots looked at each other. Their hands were still busy controlling the plane which was suddenly blocked by a nimbus cloud that was so dense.
The blue button in the Jet is the latest Auto-pilot feature upgraded by Ester. Its function also includes anti-turbulence features.
Realizing what Ester said they automatically pressed the button, immediately the plane was in control.
"Why can you guys be so careless like that? Y'all know? Because of this I can't sleep anymore!"
The girl nagged angrily as she approached the bar. Approaching a bartender who was still in squatting mode and was shocked.
"What are you doing there? Give me a Martini!"
Hearing Esther speak in such an upset and angry tone she hurriedly opened the bottle cap and poured it into the glass. Put some ice cubes in it and give it to Esther.
Without saying anything else Esther returned to her Suite. The messy place is back to being as neat as ever. It seems like the crew cabin immediately cleaned things up as soon as Esther breezed into the bar.
"Miss. Liem, can you hear us?"
"Yes, please talk."
"As a result of the turbulence, it looks like we have to land at the nearest airport."
"Where's that?"
"Miami, Florida."
Ester's face changed.

"Are you going to stay on the plane Miss. Liem?"
Hellena approached Esther who had been silent since then, looking at the trajectory of the plane with an empty view. That's right what Mr. Kim - Their rule - that Esther Liem was an acute Mood Swing sufferer, briefly friendly and then fierce, and now even quiet like that.
'It turns out being smart and rich is hard, right?' bantin Hellena's.
"I'm going for a walk, can I get you ICE-Board?" The woman finally made a sound, removed the seatbelt and stood up while stretching.
Hellena hurriedly took a flattened beat without the wheel in question. It is shaped like a surfboard, only it has a cylinder on the side.
Before pairing the object on both feet Ester opened the phone's ceiling and re-opened the incoming message. Doubt he pressed the Call button.
Ringing for a moment, the coughed voice that he missed sounded at the end there.
"Mother ...."
"Ester? You're Esther, right?"
Hearing that tone almost Esther was overwhelmed to hold the water that pooled in the eye pelupuk. He shook his head quickly, "How's the condition?"
"He's still in the status quo, but the doctor said his condition isn't worsening."
"Can he wait for me? I'm still on my way."
"When did you arrive, son?"
"I don't know, as soon as possible."
"Go home, Mother is sure she will wait for you."
Esther was about to hang up the phone when Mommy made her voice again.
"Ester?"
"Yes?"
"Can you take Han Li Eun with you?"
This time a single point of water dripped down at the corner of his eye. Han Li Eun, why is her name called? Does the departure of him for twenty more years mean nothing at all? Why Han Li Eun?
The girl who made him go this far, left everything he loved and reneged on all promises.
That girl was what made him first feel his pain to be cut out of choice.
The promise to be together forever she forgot. He left and never came back.
"Ester?"
"Yes?"
"How's it?"
After taking a deep breath the girl finally returned to her voice;
"Well .. I'll take her home."
***
"Why did you tell Esther to bring Han Li Eun here?"
From the direction of the bed a small voice asked weakly. Mother did not turn her head, just looked down at the cell phone ceiling that had been dead since.
"Because it's her right,"
"But it will make Esther even more hateful and hurt."
"I know,"
"Do you want him to hate me until the end of life?"
"No, of course not."
"Want to?"
"Mother wants everything done."
When saying that there was a hint of hesitation in the shakes of his voice. He himself doubts himself, will it really be finished?
***
When entering the Airport With his ICE-Boarder Ester immediately joined hundreds of people who also did the same thing. By 2040, fewer people are walking on their own feet than those using this type of water board.
Esther is confused about where to go, since a long time she never took a walk to Miami. Even if you have to go there, it must be business. Not without purpose like today.
After thinking for a moment he finally decided to turn to enter Duty Free American. There are a lot of things sold there. From the Merchandise to accessories and beauty tools.
The girl smiled to herself, grabbing a blue hair tie with ribbon. Maybe it fits in Hellena's hair.
I forgot the last time I shopped like this. Maybe while I was in college with Ardhan.
Esther shook her head, brushed the shadow off her mind and walked towards the cashier. The robot in charge of wrapping the hairband and requested payment through the barcode provided. Ester pressed the clock on his right wrist and then brought the screen closer to the barcode.
"Miss Liem, the plane is ready."
The voice of Hellena in her Earphones sounded. Finally Esther decided to immediately return to the plane, passing the special path she entered without inspection.
"Get it."
He pulled out the paperbag he had brought. Hellena was shocked to receive it, more shocked because the one who gave it was Esther Liem, the woman who had scolded them all this morning.
"But ...."
"I'm buying it, I think you're a good fit to wear it."
Before Hellena could say thank you, she had already passed by. Sitting in the passenger seat and wearing an unsolicited seat belt.
The plane flew without a hitch.
Han Li Eun, do you recognize me?
