The airport city XXX.....
For some people, the airport is just a public place to come and go. Coming from one city to another, from one country to another. Or, go from one city to another, from one country to another. Some others use it as a transit only, limited to waiting places to go from one city to another, from one country to another.
The airport can be a place that delivers from the excitement of one to another. Or, as is more often felt, from one sadness to another. While in the plane, the window is a magnet that makes anyone suddenly sad, sad.
More or less like it's one of the rhythms of urban human life. Some of them may have spent half their lives pacing the airport. Scraping luggage, always afraid of being late, and snaking in the luggage queue is a daily out of head.
But not for a Sherly who has an acute level adventurer spirit. So acute if he can stay at the airport maybe he will move and make a house in the airport. He could be setting up a small tent or use a quiet corner to stay for a long time. He could spend time listening to people passing by, along with a small wheel that kept squeaking.
'Toh, the airport never sleeps, there is always a sound there.' Sherly said in her heart.
The airport becomes an escape for Sherly from her former home. Every time he went to the airport or just through the airport, Sherly felt a fresh breeze passing in front of her face. His face suddenly. It was like an angel calming himself.
Sherly has gone to many airports. Starting from airports in large cities that are comfortable and fragrant, to airports for pioneer aircraft in the middle of nowhere he has stopped by. All airports have their own memories for Sherly. However, what made Sherly first feel the vibe was this XXX Terminal 3 city airport. The choice is specific to this terminal. Not because it is dominated by international flights. Terminal 3 is the place that makes him say “Ok, i like this place.”
Not just like the airport. Another thing is also because Sherly likes someone who lives in the city where the airport is located. Since long ago, Sherly was very fond of the airport because indeed since her parents were still alive, Sherly often traveled and stopped at various airports.
This morning, with white plain shirts, blue jeans, jackets, and sneaker shoes beloved in white and pink, Sherly brought her silver suitcase into the airport. Like memorization out of his head, he showed the ticket and boarding pass to the attendant, then put the suitcase and backpack into the x-ray machine of the goods. He deliberately did not wear accessories that would keep him busy in front of the metal scanner machine.
While pushing the suitcase, Sherly walked down each floor leading to the passenger lounge. Airport hustle and bustle, unrest, anxiety, bustle, and the excitement of passengers who want to come or go are common events at airports.
Meanwhile, his ears also caught various sounds at the airport. The voices of restaurant employees offering products, the voices of officers calling passengers to board the plane immediately, as well as the voices of passengers protesting why their luggage could not enter the cabin. The latter is heard quite often.
At the end of the eye, a passenger was seen running into the waiting room because he missed the plane. At first Sherly thought the figure of the man running around was Noah.
"Ah, how could he possibly come after me here." Sherly.
Such a sight, it is often seen on the first flight, early in the morning. Alternatively, the panic of passengers who forget to carry an identity, and passengers who missee departure hours are things that often occur at the airport. The departure place is so big and every day is filled with panic and haste. While the place of arrival is usually not so magnificent, but crowded by a smile and the look of a happy face. Somehow the story of the airport became a place to usher in panic and excitement and welcome the look of a happy face.
But that's what makes Sherly love this place. Although he almost always flies alone, he can feel sadness and happiness through those around him.
Sherly has always loved the distinctive aroma of coffee-flavored bread that bursts in the hallways, in the nose of a hasty person. It's a solitary entertainment for his nose.
Some others choose to talk to other passengers, even if just ask “You where Mbak, Mas?”, “What aircraft Mbak, Mas?”, “ XXX aircraft actually here huh Mbak, Mas?”, Mas, ”How long Ma'am, Mas to there?”
Every time Sherly was at the airport, he felt like he was playing a role and saw a movie with various pieces of images with the expression of the actor. He enjoys it all and feels like he really is. That's the beginning of how a Sherly loves airports so much.
"Let's go." Said the man who was none other than Mr. Andre who had been with Sherly.
Both of them walked towards the plane that would take them to the next town. After that, Sherly will be deported immediately.
****************
A sporty yellow car lit up, stopping at the airport parking area. A man still wearing his bridal outfit ran inside the airport. He did not care about the strange sight of those who saw him.
Noah knew, this was the first stupid act he had done. I don't know what impulse made him dare to take a path like this. Looking for Sherly amid the hustle and bustle of other passengers at the airport. Now Noah can understand the reasons some actors and actresses do when chasing their lovers at the airport. While Noah himself did not understand his intention to be at this airport.
'Is this the path I want?' asked Noah in noah in heart.
His eyes continued to glow throughout the waiting area and the airport check-in room. No one she knew was at the airport. Noah knew that he was very stupid this time, because he was chasing someone who had clearly left the airport this morning.
'But this heart wants me to keep looking for it.'
In the midst of despair, Noah's tears suddenly fell on his cheeks. Now Noah is officially crying over the girl's departure. Crying a sense that begins to be accepted by his logic. Crying over a late heart compromises with logic.
'But free. It's all too late. Anyhow I try to accept this feeling, I won't return Sherly to me again. Won't do.'
Noah closed his eyes, enduring more pain than he had ever felt before. Noah hoped the pain would go away instantly. But what happened? Noah's pain was just getting worse. Noah clenched his hands together to endure the pain of losing someone who had quietly filled the recesses of his heart.
Noah opened his eyes while looking around. Passengers with their busy faces, Noah realizes one thing, that he must leave this place.
'It is in vain to find someone who has left and will not come back again.'
