Aksara For Arsyilla
From Melbourne to Jakarta

In Melbourne, Australia, a young man is boarding at Melbourne International Airport. The young man who is still so young, and still in his twenties, has just completed his Strata One Medicine education at the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Carrying a ticket in his hand, the man was seen sitting alone and waiting for the time at which the passengers would be called to enter the plane. The notification by voice at the airport seemed to be something the man was waiting for. Until finally, after more than half an hour waiting heard Airport Announcement from the airport.

Hello, Passengers of flight 56K78 Airlines bound for Jakarta with stops in Singapore please boarding from gate C2, and please have your boarding pass ready and make sure that you have collected all your carry-on baggage. Thank you.

(Hello, passengers with flight number 56 to Jakarta with a stop in Singapore please boarding from gate C2, and please prepare your boarding pass. Make sure you bring all your luggage. Thank you.)

As if he did not want to rush, the young man chose to walk casually and did not follow the passengers who were in a hurry to board the plane. After all, the seat number on each ticket was already listed, so the young man felt he did not have to rush to board the plane.

With the backpack on his shoulder, the young man walked slowly towards the C2 gate and towards the place where the plane he was about to board. This time, the flight route from Melbourne to Jakarta must first transit in Singapore. Approximately 12 to 13 hours, the young man will take an air trip to return home after 3 years of medical education in the country of Kangaroo.

Before the plane took off, there was apparently a mobile call coming into the handset of the handsome young man.

“Halo, Rangga .. so back to Jakarta right?” greet a middle-aged woman who is none other than Mother Kanaya.

Yes, that young man is Airlangga, the younger brother of Aksara. After three years of study in Melbourne, Australia. Today, Airlangga will return to Indonesia. Continuing his dream of becoming a Pediatrician, but before he could become a specialist, Airlangga had to become a Koas first at a Hospital in Jakarta. After that, then a Koas can continue the study of specialization for approximately three more years.

“Halo Bunda .. Yes, Rangga already have a plane. Soon it will be flight,” replied the young man.

“Sgratitude ... so, Mommy will pick you up at the Airport tomorrow right?” ask Mother Kanaya.

“Iya Mommy .. tomorrow. If according to the time listed on the ticket, 09.00 hours have landed in Soekarno-Hatta,” reply Airlangga.

“OK Nak .. be careful on your flight. If you have transit in Singapore, do not forget to contact Mother,” reply Mother Kanaya.

“OK Mother, see you soon. I Love U, Mom,” reply the young man by closing his mobile call.

After that, Airlangga or familiarly called Rangga chose to deactivate the phone along with the plane that will start taking off. The man chose to sit down and enjoy an aerial flight in the middle of the night. Rangga thought, once the plane has taken off (take off) and its position is stable in the air, Rangga will choose to sleep only. When he woke up, the plane would land at Changi International Airport for transit at 05:30 Singapore time, and would resume flights to Jakarta at 07:50 Singapore time.

For information, Singapore time selects time zones one hour difference with West Indonesia Time (WIB). So 05.30 in Singapore, means 04.30 in Jakarta, Indonesia. 

Until finally, the plane began to air slowly, taking a position to fly, the plane that originally tracked on the ground and walked slowly, over time the speed increased very quickly, and the, eventually the fuselage was lifted into the air. At midnight, all that was seen was the brilliance of the Melbourne city lights visible from the air.

“Good bye Melbourne .. See you when I see you,” murmured Airlangga softly while staring at the view below from the plane window.

If Aksara is more in the corporate world by becoming an Architect and more similar to Mother Kanaya, then Airlangga wrestled with the medical world as the Father of Bisma. Even Airlangga has the same goal of becoming a Pediatrician Specialist.

The midnight air flight finally made most passengers choose to fall asleep. After all, transcontinental air travel is so far away, that it is very suitable to be enjoyed by sleeping on a plane.

It doesn't feel like ten hours of time has passed. Now the flight attendants wake up the passengers and prepare for transit at Changi International Airport. Passengers were asked to raise their backrests, fold up their desks, and open their windows. Airlangga also blinked. He had been asleep for nearly ten hours on the plane. Seen from the window, that the atmosphere is still dark. Dim, greet the sun was not seen at all. The young man straightened his back, and prepared to land for nearly an hour at Changi International Airport.

The aircraft noticeably reduces its altitude in the air, by turning, and swooping, to a certain limit of low. Until finally, felt the wheels of the plane that again traces on the ground and presents shocks in the fuselage. All passengers breathed a sigh of relief as they were able to arrive at Changi International Airport.

Once in Changi, the first thing Airlangga does is send a message to the Mother first.

[To: Mother Kanaya]

[The stairs are already transiting in Changi, Mommy.]

[There will be no hurry to pick him up.]

[Casual.]

[See U Soon in Jakarta.]

After sending the message, Airlangga chose to get off the plane and wash his face first. In addition, Airlangga intends to buy a cup of Tarik Tea that sells for 2 Singapore Dollars and Kaya Toast which is toast with Sari Kaya jam. Teh Tarik and Kaya Toast is a breakfast menu that is enjoyed by many Malays, including in parts of Sumatra, Singapore, and Malaysia.

It refreshes a little and also fills an empty stomach after a grueling transcontinental journey. It feels like just now, Airlangga came down for breakfast, now it has been heard Airport Announcement that passengers with a destination to Soekarno - Hatta International Airport are asked for boarding. Airlangga also ran a little and returned to the plane, resuming air flights to Jakarta, Indonesia.

It did not feel like it had been two hours since the plane from Changi, Singapore was in the air. From the sky, the view of Jakarta is so dense. In this capital, Airlangga will continue his life. Continuing her dreams and ideals, she will prepare to meet her little daughter, Thania.

“Papa is coming, Thania .. It's good to see you again, after three years of time have passed. Papa is very dear and misses you, Thania,” muttered Airlangga softly.

In addition to meeting his family, there is one thing that Airlangga wants to do, which is to meet his little daughter, Thania. It felt like greeting, hugging, and giving a kiss on Thania's cheek. 

“I am coming to you, My Little Daughter. I miss you so much, Thania,” murmured Airlangga.

Yeah, misses her little daughter a lot. After three years have passed. Now, Airlangga is really going home for her little daughter.
