Kiran started packing her things, neatly arranging everything into a suitcase. The four-day holiday is over. It was time for Kiran to return home and carry out her activities as usual. Edward stood looking at Kiran from the doorway. Her little sister had turned into a grown woman by now.
"Want me to take you to the airport?" ask Edward who is now walking closer to Kiran. Edward sat on the edge of the bed watching Kiran who was still busy with her suitcase.
"I'll just take a taxi" Kiran replied as she sat next to Edward. "When did you go back to Yogya? At least visit me once in a while" Kiran continued.
"Well, I'll take my time to visit you, I'll go first yeah," Edward got up from his seat and ruffled Kiran's hair.
"Promise?" Kiran raised her eyebrows looking at Edward with hope.
"I'm promising" said Edward solemnly.
"Okay, go you have to make money to stay alive" teased Kiran as she waved her hand. Edward leaves Kiran with his suitcase that has not been finished.
10:00 AM on board...
Kiran was already sitting in her chair. The seat is on the right wing of the 5th row aircraft from the front. Kiran sat down while looking out the window. Today the sky is not bright enough, the drizzle of rain is still soaking through the windows you see. And because of this weather Kiran's flight was held up for the next half hour.
Kiran pulled out her phone from inside the small bag that was on her lap, changing her phone mode from ringing mode to airplane mode. Kiran put on her earphones started playing a song that made her feel sleepy and closed her eyes.
"Pssssssssst," the hiss from the empty seat beside Kiran.
Kiran was sure for a moment before she closed her eyes her seat was still empty. "You look more cute when you look up close like this" said someone beside Kiran and she was very familiar with whose voice it was. The voice of someone Kiran did not want to hear in her entire life.
Kiran's eyes were closed instantly. Kiran turned her head to the left, "ARRRRGHHH," Kiran shouted very loudly making all the passengers inside there look at her full of question marks.
A flight attendant came to Kiran, "Sorry Ma'am there is a problem, there is something I can help," the flight attendant said with a friendly smile.
"No-no, we don't need help, my wife..." Sean turned his gaze from the flight attendant to Kiran's face as he said, "he sometimes feels panic when the plane is about to take off," Sean moved his index finger as if telling the flight attendant to bring his face closer, right in the ear of the prmmugari Sean continued his words in half whispering, "actually, this is the first time he's boarded a plane."
"YOU!" peeker Kiran who heard what Sean whispered to the flight attendant.
"Look, my wife is embarrassed" Sean said as he pinched Karin's cheek.
"I'll excuse you sir, may your first flight please Ma'am" the flight attendant said, leaving Sean and Kiran.
Kiran brushed off Sean's hand that pinched her cheek. Now Kiran was glaring at Sean who was smiling with his innocent face. After bragging and making a lie to the flight attendants who approached them, Sean simply smiled sillyly. Kiran was really curious about the contents of this man's head. Lest Sean's brain is too small to think before acting so he always does stupid things that can make others angry.
Sean smiled again this time with a wider smile revealing his neatly arranged teeth. Sean moved his shoulders as if looking for the right position to lean his back on the back of the chair. Sean reenacts the sunglasses hanging from the collar of his classic polo shirt.
"What are you doing in si-ni," said Kiran who half whispered.
"Nope," Sean replied briefly. Inside Sean was smiling and now what he was doing was pretending to be asleep. It felt good to make this woman sitting next to him become annoyed. Sean just did what he wanted to do. Before the curiosity disappeared. Sean's gonna buy Kiran like gum. No matter what girl likes it or not.
Kiran's eyes were about to pop out from staring at Sean. The man opened his black glasses. Sean put his index finger over Kiran's forehead, "don't look too close to me" Sean said as he pushed Kiran's head with his index finger, "your gaze really made my heart misbehave" Sean said.
Sean removed his index finger that was attached to Kiran's forehead then his hand moved to gently stroke Count's head, "understand?" sean asked with a smile.
Kiran tightened her jaw. Instead of being happy with the sweet treatment Sean gave her, she was upset, "you want to know about something I think Mr. Goldstein?"
"What?" asked Sean who was back sitting with his back resting on the chair. One foot on the bench and both hands in front of the chest.
Kiran picked up Sean's sunglasses, "if this plane had crashed on an uninhabited island, all that's left would be the two of us," Kiran stopped giving a long enough pause, the curious Sean immediately looked at Kiran with his serious face.
Unfortunately Kiran's eyes glanced towards Sean's lips making Sean realize what Kiran saw drew a thin smile, "so what if the only thing left was the two of us? You want to fuck in the open sky?" sean asked while giving him his flying kiss.
Kiran chuckled she smiled then her face turned flat again, "making love? Just keep that things in your fucking mind, of course what I'm going to do is make you dinner" Kiran said as she breathed her coarse breath.
Kiran put Sean's glasses back together, "so even if we're just alone on the island, you better stay hidden and away, sometimes what you see is not what you have in mind... this woman in front of you could have turned into a predator who would kill you for dinner" Kiran said, then she again ignored Sean with a pale face.
Sean raised both his hands to close his mouth. What he had just seen and heard was truly terrifying. What kind of woman threatens in such a cruel way.
Sean only saw Kiran pull her thin smile, the woman completely ignored Sean and continued to look out the window staring at the wisps of clouds that looked like giant cotton balls.
"What sits beside him is this inanimate object, Am I a stone? This woman really sucks, but look at her smile it's like candy" Sean murmured inwardly.
Throughout the flight Sean continued to stare at Kiran silently. Sean really feels like a stalker now. Sean wants to talk to Kiran, but Kiran doesn't want to be bothered by Sean. Now Sean is stuck in a situation, where he really wants to say hello but is afraid of being ignored.
"Hmmmmm," Sean cleared his throat, truly he couldn't be in a situation as awkward and calm as this.
"You better shut up and don't try to get me to talk, like you told the flight attendant your wife is panicking about her first flight" Kiran warned.
Kiran completely ignored Sean. The woman really did not expect Sean to sit next to her. Whether this is fate or just a coincidence, Kiran considers her meeting with Sean a nightmare. A nightmare that could have brought back Kiran's old wounds that had not yet healed.
Speaking of injuries, Kiran had already tried to forget those bad memories. But, everything looked like a broken old cassette, constantly spinning and repeating in his head. No matter how hard he tried, there were those who made his tears fall and fall again. Maybe Kiran needs someone to heal her wound. But, Kiran herself was the one who never again opened her heart to others.
Kiran was shocked when Sean's head fell on her shoulders. He looked over and found Sean asleep. If Kiran's conscience isn't working right now, she'll push Sean's head away from his shoulders. Kiran glanced at Sean's face, the annoying face turned sweet when her eyes closed.
Kiran's heart pounded again, just by staring at Sean her heart was pounding again. Due to the pounding of his heart, Kiran stopped staring at Sean. Kiran looked back at the clouds that looked like giant cotton balls.
Kiran tried to restore her heart rhythm to normal. But his efforts fail when Sean's head moves over Kiran's shoulders like he wants to find the right place to be his bearing. Kiran couldn't help it anymore, "you think
I'm your cushion huh," Kiran said as she pushed Sean's head away from his shoulder.
Sean was startled and woke up from his sleep, he stomped his feet and also threw his back against the back of the chair. Sean was upset instead of playing, his beautiful dream just vanished when his head was shaken forcibly.
"BABE!" sean screeched and made all the passengers on the plane turn to him.
Kiran glared with her laser gaze, "What the‒" Kiran's sentence came to a halt as Sean's index finger was blocking his mouth from speaking.
"Crush... Kiran watch your words, there are many children here, and soon you will be a mother, take care of your demeanor dear" Sean said with a sweet smile.
Kiran's eyes widened even more at the words that Sean had just spoken. Kiran was at the peak of her anger right now. Smoke had already come out from the tip of Kiran's head. And Kiran, pulled Sean's index finger that stuck to her lips.
"Stop all your bullshit, or I'll throw you in now!" snapping Kiran with a stifled voice because Kiran did not want to be the attention of everyone.
Sean developed his smile. Everything that was said from Kiran's lips sounded very melodious. "Do it.." said Sean, cupping Kiran in the face and wiggling her left and right, "then we'll all die because of you," Sean blinked his eyes and gave his flying kiss.
Oh no! Destiny is playing with Kiran's life. Why he was met with men like Sean. Men who can't digest words and understand that others are annoyed by them.
"Are you always this shitty?" ask Kiran.
"No, I'm not that annoying Ki-Ran, but it's very, very annoying, but I'm trying not to be annoying in front of you, don't I look like everyone's dream man now?"
Kiran's face turned flat. Sean's two hands were still moving Kiran's face left and right like a display doll. They were unaware that some people were filming them. Who is not interested in recording the behavior of the adorable sweet couple.
"You let go of your hands that stick to my cheeks, or‒"
"Or What's Babe?"
"I broke your hand into 16 pieces" Kiran said in a flat tone and then she pulled out her eerie-looking smile.
Sean immediately took off his hand, he did not want to get off the plane with an immovable hand, "OK!" exclaim Sean. Then, Sean was silent as well as Kiran. The two of them continued the flight quietly without bothering each other.
