Tone & Sound
#73 [Bab. jakarta land and the putis]
Five o'clock in the afternoon. They finally arrived at the airport. On-time. Along the way, Jakarta was very good. It's barely even stuck. Tone and third fairy Centil down from the car. I helped to bring down the suitcase. Hugging Nada for a bit, saying goodbye, then hurrying away from the airport. The job is just to deliver.
When Bara's car was gone from eye range, Nada and the three centil fairies stepped into the airport.
Sukarno Hatta's. Within a week, Nada was at least twice in this place. And nothing looks different. Everything stays the same. This airport, remains part of the return and departure of someone. Yes, it will probably be like that forever.
"Girls, I think we should eat first. Laper is.." said Jeje. Chubby.
"Cup cake! Oh, or. brownies." proposed Una. Eager.
"It can be too!" he added.
Jeje glanced at Una, "Where is there seblak at the airport, Na." he said.
Nada and Naira looked at each other. If Jeje and Una had determined something, Nada and Naira could do nothing. Just can follow. Especially Naira. Of the four of them, Naira is the most patient, mature, and does not talk much. Even the most slab ones too.
This trip is not in a hurry, anyway. There are still a few hours to relax. Because if it's on schedule, their plane will only fly at eight o'clock. There are still three hours of their time at the airport.
And actually, at home, Nada thought going to the airport this fast was a pretty hasty thing. Nada actually wants to leave for the airport at seven o'clock. But, Jeje quickly said no. "What if there's a problem, Nad? What if it's too late? If the traffic is severe how? We might miss our flight." Said protest. The tone finally complied. But all Jeje's considerations have a point, anyway. Yes, in addition to the emphasis on how, how, and how, if everything is prepared and thinking about what can happen later, maybe we can be better prepared, yes. It might be quieter too. And for a few hours of being at the airport, waiting for departure, maybe it's not a bad idea.
At the airport, there are many booth shops, food, even souvenir items that stand parallel to each other. A lot of people are sitting there. Perhaps they were waiting for departure as well and were filling in some free time. Or maybe someone is waiting for an invitation. Meanwhile, Jeje and Una decide to buy some food at the pastry shop that is to the right of the coffee shop. Nada and Naira are not coming. They prefer to wait in a coffee shop.
When you arrive at the coffee shop, sit and pay attention around, Nada thought for a class of coffee places at the airport, this coffee shop is really comfortable. It's a lot, but it doesn't matter. Yes, although there are still those who make the eyes somehow feel sore when they see it. Tone turned his face. Earlier, he accidentally saw two lovers again bribing a piece of cake. Though the airport, it is not the right place for romantic-romantic like that. Upset, anyway. But, how will you?
"Nad?" call Naira. Stop the Nada reverie.
"Eh, is it Nay?"
Naira laughs. "Lo want what? Mocha latte? or what? Let me order, yeah."
"Americano aja, Nay.." said Nada reflex.
Naira raised one of her eyebrows. Staring at Nada.
"Since when did you like americano, Nad?" ask Naira to know.
Silent tone. Baffled. Gosh darn.
Naira's right. Since when, huh? Duh. Why let go, anyway. Nada realized that the question was troublesome to answer. For saying. But he remembered. Since that night. Since Bunyi ordered one cup of hot americano in Jakarta Land. Nada did not like the drink. But because of the Sound, to Nada now americano is like the most delicious drink in the world. Basic Bucin.
"Banda used to make me that, Nay. Tasty. I like it." Tone tried to find another reason.
Naira poked her shoulder. Maybe he didn't bother with that answer. It's not important either.
Tone inhaled silently. Meanwhile, Naira calls one of the coffee shop waiters and orders one cup of hot americano and one cup of hot latte mocca as well.
