Kirana was only able to breathe a sigh of relief after they sat in the airplane seat. He put William's seatbelt on and his seatbelt on. If some people are frightened at the time the plane takes off, it doesn't happen to their son. In the first hour, he did not stop asking about the scenery he saw from the window. He asked about the clouds, the sea, the mountains, until he told him about a story about the sea that his teacher taught him at school. Half an hour later, he asked to be read the story book he brought.
“Mom, when am I birthday?” william asked after his mother finished reading the storybook. Kirana rolled her eyeballs as she stuffed the book back into her son's bag.
“Front month.” he replied waswas. Kirana knows that her son plans to talk more than just asking for her birthday.
“Can I tell you what I want?” ask William expectantly.
“Will, you already said that,” Kirana counting with her finger. “More than twenty times. Do you think I'll forget?”
“You always forget, Mom.” William raised both eyebrows.
“Smart once, Will. You dare mock me.” Kirana frowned.
“You promised me Darth Vader if I wanted to go to class on the first day of school. I got Winobi.” instead His son crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“What's the difference? They are both Star Wars.” characters, Kirana said she did not understand.
“Darth Vader black color, Mom, wear black robe and black mask. Winobi is white.” said William explained the same thing repeatedly. Kirana did not understand where the difference was.
“If you want to ask for something, you should be sweet.” Kirana reminded.
“That's for Christmas gift, Mom. I-i know. Birthday gift, sweet or not, you have promised to give me whatever I ask.” The little boy rolled his eyes.
“O, my gosh. Who knows to talk this way?” kirana. Oh, geez. Who taught you to talk like this?
“You are.” replied William quickly. Her mother soon fell silent.
“You did, not you are.” Kirana answered her son. Right too, thought Kirana. Who else would his son have been looking for if not his mother?
He saw his son trying to grab his backpack on the floor. He helped her to get the bag. William opened his bag and searched for something from the inside. Kirana looked at him in wonder. What else is he gonna do? Has he stopped talking and now asked to read another storybook? Kirana was secretly relieved. She would rather read a book for her son than respond to his witty words.
“How old is a mother's child?” ask the woman sitting next to Kirana. She's looking.
“Three years eleven months one week.” he replied. Relieved to be able to talk to people who can understand each other.
“She is smart for a child her age.” compliment the woman it is friendly.
“Iya. The first thing he did was talk. Once he could form a word, he did not stop talking and asked. But her growth includes slow.” said Kirana a little worried.
“Hopefully, Bu.” said Kirana expectantly.
“This, Mom.” William put a photo on his mother's lap. Kirana turned her head back towards him then towards the photo on her lap.
“What is this?” Kirana took the photo to take a closer look.
“My birthday gift. Don't buy it again, yeah, Mom. Okay?” william said expectantly.
“Where did you get this?” kirana asked in surprise.
“Miss Daria's. He printed it for me at school.” replied William, naming his teacher.
Kirana turned back to her other side. The woman just laughed. Seeing that Kirana laughed while shaking her head. His son always had a way to make the gift he got exactly as he wanted.
Hearing the notification that the plane they were boarding was about to land, William looked towards the window. Because her body was not tall enough, she tried to remove her seatbelt. Kirana. Seeing her son insisting on seeing the scenery outside, Kirana moved to her seat, hugged her daughter, then put a seatbelt past their waist. William cheered happily at the view of the city below. The little guy was never afraid of heights.
Exiting the arrival terminal, he saw a man holding a piece of paper bearing his name. Kirana invites William to approach the man. They were then taken to a car. There were a few other passengers inside. Kirana smiled at them then sat down in the middle seat right beside the window.
William looked out the window and enjoyed the view they passed. He asked about the place they were passing. Already prepared with the info regarding the province, Kirana answered all her son's questions easily.
An hour later they arrived in the city of Mataram. Kirana smiled looking at the path they were walking on in only one direction. They didn't encounter any traffic at all. Like other cities, Mataram also has several shops and malls. William didn't ask much about it. They stopped for a moment to go to the toilet. Kirana used the opportunity to buy beans. William will love what they will do later.
Kirana smiled as they entered the forest area. The road is winding and not many cars are passing. William cheered to see a monkey relaxing by the road. He asks Kirana to tell the driver to stop for a while. Not to mention Kirana replied, the car they were riding in slowed down and pulled over.
No need to wait for an explanation from the driver, Kirana knew where they were. Pusuk, a forest where monkeys are allowed to live freely in nature. Kirana took out the beans she had bought. William cheered happily being able to feed a herd of monkeys with the nuts. He laughed happily at the beast by expertly opening the pea shell and eating the seeds inside. The monkeys reached out and asked for more.
They spent more than two hours travelling from the airport until arriving at the port. Kirana looked at the signboard nearby. Bangsal Port. The driver approached a wooden boat. Kirana gave a sigh of relief. He could enjoy the scenery around them with the boat. Speed boat will indeed shorten the time, but they can not see the beautiful scenery under the sea water.
William laughed happily whenever he saw the plants in the sea from the edge of the boat. The sea is very clear. They could see beautiful coral reefs of various colors around them. After forty minutes, their boat arrived at the destination island. Kirana cheered happily knowing the place before her. Gili Trawangan's.
Arriving at the room, Kirana's heart jumped happily at the sight from the bedroom window. The sky and the blue sea pampered his eyes. He had never been to heaven, but he saw a bit of his piece before him.
His son whines for his swimsuits. Kirana opened their suitcase and gave the pants to William. He rushes to undress and puts on the pants. Kirana changed her clothes with shorts and sleeveless sweatshirt. They walked together to the beach.
Kirana is secretly grateful for the new life she has. For her son who loves her unconditionally. For his co-workers who are easy to work with. For his boss who does not hesitate to compensate him for the hard work and achievements he achieved in the company. His life is not perfect. But what he has now is more than perfect.
