When Teacher Meets Pilot 2

When Teacher Meets Pilot 2
Eject it!


Kasvian Gazale Nature. A 37-year-old man. One of the ministry staff who met with Tiara about two years ago when Tiara was a translator several times in his office. At the same time, his son Geva Gazale Alam needed a tutor to deepen his English. As if getting the right person, Vian asks Tiara if she can help him teach Geva. Tiara is willing to become Geva's permanent tutor. Three times a week, every time Tiara went home to attend college, Vian taught Geva.


During Tiara's tutelage, Geva made great progress. Until now all the Vian family was familiar with Tiara. Geva considered Tiara to be a younger sister, Vian and his wife Asti, considered an older sister by Tiara. Vian's house was like a second home to Tiara.


Vian lightly kicked Tiara's legs while she was still asleep. It was eleven in the afternoon and Tiara had not yet woken up.


"Tiara, wake woy! So to Loca ga?"


"So bang." replied Tiara while fixing the blanket.


"Basic kebo!"


"Not kebo bang, this is me again reduce the burden of my life is too heavy." He spoke in an unclear voice.


"You leave at 1, it's 11, get up, get ready!"


"Hm, ready!" just said in the mouth, but Tiara still stuck her head on the pillow.


"Heh, basic. Wait another 20 minutes outside."


"Yes bang." Tiara's sleeping again.

Yundhi was aghast from his deep sleep, his brain immediately working. He saw a watch that showed at eight and he cursed. No one woke him up until this afternoon, usually Citra or Ranti would not stop bothering him until he woke up and had breakfast together.


Yundi immediately went to the bathroom and did a quick shower. I don't know what made him rush, but he didn't have an appointment with anyone.


After finishing preparing himself Yundhi immediately went down. At the dinner table he had already seen Hans, Citra and Ranti who were enjoying breakfast in silence.


As soon as Yundhi arrived in front of the dining table, Citra immediately got up and left her seat. He did not even see Yundhi's face, the bread was still left but Citra did not care, Citra still went into the room. Hans and Ranti also did not rebuke what Citra did, they were silent when Citra left her food.


Taking action just like Ranti and Hans, Yundhi did not fuss over the mother's indifference. He took a loaf of bread, smeared it with jam, and ate it quietly. No one spoke, making the atmosphere feel awkward for Yundhi.


"Oma is done, oma first." said Ranti as soon as the bread ran out. Without waiting for anyone's answer Ranti left the dining table and returned to her room. Now only Yundhi and the papa remain.


"Mom why pa?"


"Your mother is heartbroken." Hans said enigmaticly, while standing out from the chair. Before he actually left, he patted Yundhi on the shoulder, "Papa hope you don't take a wrong step" he said again and stepped out into the car that was ready to take him to the office.


Yundhi did not think much of Hans words, he immediately finished his bread and also left the dining table. Today he will meet Tiara. He will spend time with his future wife. If Tiara is angry that she did not accompany him when Adib died, Yundhi will apologize until Tiara forgives him. He believed Tiara could understand because it was Tiara herself who released him to work, flying to Japan.


Yundhi immediately took the car keys, ran it and left his spacious yard. He could not wait to meet Tiara. He wished Tiara was already in his room now.

Tiara sat quietly in the passenger seat beside Kasvian. His gaze was pointing out the window. Enjoy the view of the city where he lived for the last time.


"Don't tell me this is because of men, tell your brother who he is, dare he hurt you."


"Geva has a semester raging bang? The lecture was smooth right, said the same for a specialist to take a lecture outside," cried Tiara with eyes that still face the window. Vian breathed heavily.


If it had been this way Tiara would absolutely not have told her the problem. That girl is really smart to hide feelings.


"Later say." Vian gives up on fishing Tiara tells him about his problem. His stance was too firm, his stubborn pain was extremely acute.


"Abang will nganter you to Loca, after meeting the administrator there, just brother back. You have to promise to take good care of yourself there, Ra!" vian's word.


"Hm, just calm down."


"If you hear you have a little problem, such as pain, brother will not hesitate to move you back."


Tiara was silent without an answer, but Vian's words he kept in his memory. It can't hurt.


"You were about to leave, the first pilot the office called didn't want to fly now because of personal matters, fortunately there are other pilots who are willing."


This time Vian said he thought of the wind then, Tiara caught the word of the pilot there, making him remember Yundhi.


That guy.


What is he doing now, is he still in Japan. Holidays with Emmy, taking pictures like she saw on her phone. If you are happy with her, I will let her go.


Tiara's eyes closed, holding back water from escaping from every corner.


I'll go so you don't have to choose.


I'll go so you don't feel burdened.

Yundhi stopped his car in front of Tiara's house. He rushed out running towards the door. Helma opened the door on the second knock.


"Tante, Tiara's home yet?" Yundhi went straight to the core of his arrival.


"Come in, son Yundhi, please sit down!"


Helma chose to sit in a place opposite Yundhi.


"What do you want to drink?"


"Do not bother aunt! A tiara?"


"Oh, Tiara hasn't come home yet."


Yundhi's eyes were round, her knees were as if limp, her gaze started to ripple.


"I mean aunt, since she left last night Tiara ain't back?"


"Son Yundhi didn't know how Tiara was yesterday when her father died?"


Yundhi shook his head weakly, "at that time I was on duty," he replied in a soft voice.


"Oh, aunt forgot Yundhi's a pilot." Helma paused, "Tiara may be devastated by the sudden departure of her father. He himself found his father dead in the room" Helma said with dewy eyes.


"There was a friend of his who happened to come, he helped Tiara take Adib mas to the hospital, but Adib's life could not be saved. From the hospital, Tiara had fainted. Even at home, he only realized for a few moments. Friends and neighbors who help her take care of everything that Tiara should be responsible for." Helma could not hold back her tears anymore. His face was already wet with that clear liquid.


Yundhi who only heard the story felt pain in her chest. He could imagine how devastated Tiara was, while he could not be next to the future wife. Yundhi started to get frustrated, he thought about where Tiara was going, his brain started to wander.


"May I go to Tiara's room?" yundhi said suddenly.


Helma looked up, then nodded giving her permission.


Yundhi hopes to find the slightest clue about the whereabouts of Tiara, his future wife. He made his way to Tiara's room, followed by Helma at the back.


Yundhi was stunned to see Tiara's messy room. Not much stuff there. Some clothes were strewn over the bed, the bed linen covering the mattress came out of place. The sleeping pillow has moved to the floor.


Yundhi looked down, her gaze was nimble, the state of the room as if describing how messed up Tiara was. Her chest was hot and filled with guilt for not being able to accompany Tiara through the calamity that had befallen her. The shadow of Tiara who was crying on the bed as if spinning in the room, Tiara who was hysterical and could not control her emotions, was crying alone. Yundhi's hands clenched tightly, the book turned white. Feeling angry and sick at the same time. Angry at him who had ignored the girl who accepted his proposal unconditionally and sickly, could not meet when he missed her.


Suddenly Yundhi felt stepping on a hard object, her forehead frowning. A cell phone fragment. Yundhi grabbed the thing and observed it. Tiara's cell phone fragment was in her hand. His eyes circled around the room, intending to look for another shard. Yundhi lifted up Tiara's clothes scattered below, there he found another shard. He had to find another fragment again, in order to string the phone back together.


"Tante hasn't had time to tidy up Tiara's room yet."


Suddenly Yundhi came to a realization, he was not alone in the room. His mind refocused on Helma.


"Sorry, what does aunt have to do with Tiara?"


Helma stopped her activities picking up Tiara's clothes. He looked towards Yundhi.


"I, aunt is Tiara's stepmother."


Yundhi's body backwards represented her shock. Stepmom? Tiara never even told him she had a stepmother.


"Your expression is the same as Tiara's. He also only learned of my whereabouts yesterday, after his father's funeral was over. I guess he will expel me and the Revelation. Without guessing he asked me to stay here. Before leaving he asked me to guard this house as long as he ___"


"Revelation?" yundhi said with a thick question.


"Revelation, Tiara's sister."


Yundhi's feelings churned. Tiara, how could he accept this kind of reality in the time of losing his father. Yundhi was increasingly enveloped in fear. Fearing that Tiara could not accept reality and took the wrong path.


"Mama!" the voice of the little boy interrupted Yundhi and Helma's conversation. Helma immediately came out of the room leaving Yundhi.


Yundhi's focus is back on Tiara. He left, not carrying a cell phone, how Yundhi would contact him. Where will Yundhi look for him. All the questions on how to find Tiara revolved around his head.


Yundhi immediately walked out of Tiara's room. There he could not think because the shadow of Tiara seemed to be present in the room.


Helma came out of the room, about to visit Yundhi, but Yundhi had already stepped out and she also saw Helma.


"I will return" said Yundhi staring at Helma and Revelation alternately.


Yundhi then left and immediately entered the car. There he vented his anger, hitting the steering wheel a few times vaporizing emotions that suddenly appeared. Regret now enveloped the entire space of Yundhi's heart. Why was he so ignorant, never even contacted Tiara when she was with Emmy. The words came out of his mouth which he set for himself.


His brain thought hard how to find Tiara. Why didn't Tiara go to her house if she couldn't face Helma's presence.


As his mind was filled with question marks, Yundhi's phone shook. A call from his captain is there.


"Yes?"


"...."


Yundhi took a breath in hearing the words of the person opposite her.


"Sorry, today I can't sir, I have a personal business to settle. I can carry a heli, but I'm sorry I couldn't fly today. You can ask for another. Tomorrow I'll face."


Yundhi cut off the unilateral connection, he refocused on Tiara. Remembering his last time with his wife.


Suddenly he remembered something, he gave a debit card to Tiara before leaving for work at that time.


***


An EC-725 AC Caracal helicopter is ready on the helipad tarmac above the ministry building. The helicopter will take Tiara and Kasvian to the island of Loca.


Tiara was a little daunted by the roar of the aircraft engine she was about to board. She hesitated but soon she was sad. He couldn't possibly disappoint Vian after being willing to bother to help him.


Vian climbed up first and immediately took a position to be able to pull Tiara's hand later when he was about to board the plane, Tiara soon followed. They are already on the plane. The pilot started moving the plane. Tiara and Vian put on headsets to make it easier for them to communicate.


Tiara's hands trembled slightly, her eyes began to get wet. He remembered Yundhi. Their sweet memories swirled in his head as the heli continued to rise into the air. Immediately, the shadows of Yundhi and Emmy appeared, opening the wound. Tiara cried, she couldn't stand it. His cries grew louder, he even had to hold his chest back in tightness.


Kasvian knew Tiara was bearing the burden of not wanting to be shared with anyone. That burden might be a lingering wound in his heart. Vian could only gently pat Tiara on the shoulder, trying to give her strength amid her fragility.


"You cry, get it all out, brother won't."


***


Yundhi was busy checking the e-banking menu on her phone. His face was back in the doldrums. There is no history of Tiara using the cards he gave. No notification notifies that the balance is truncated. His mind is back in chaos.


Now how does he search for the whereabouts of Tiara. He saw an ATM on the outskirts of the store. His car was there. With the worst thought being experienced Yundhi took out two cards stored in his wallet. He transferred all the money on the two cards to his account number, which he carried with Tiara. Hoping desperately for Tiara to use all the money there so that she could track Tiara's whereabouts with the card.


The transaction has been completed. Yundhi propped her body up at the ATM machine in front of her. His mind would be dead-end if it had to be silent and just wait.


A shadow of Tiara appeared in his head. How the girl tidied up her tie during their last meeting, the spoiled mannerism of Tiara embracing her as she was about to leave for work, the messages of Tiara wanting her to return without any red lipstick marks on her collar. For God's sake now Yundhi really misses that woman.


As soon as guilt arose, as he had last met Tiara, he even met Emmy and accompanied the woman who was now his friend. Guilt came like a sledgehammer hitting Yundhi. He unwittingly kicks an innocent ATM machine, causing a question mark on the people waiting in line behind the glass.
