Calibra: A Delayed Taste

CALIBRA | CHAPTER 69

Early in the morning Audi had the arrival of a courier who delivered food, he said order on behalf of Ibra. It was clear the sender was the man. There are three menus that come from one restaurant, and all in the form of home cooking. Ibra likes to eat heavy in the morning.

Exhaling, Audi took the phone that had been lying on the dining table, he intended to have a rough breakfast, and only milk and cereal were available.

Audi typing message for Ibra.

Audi: Have you eaten?

Long time no answer. Maybe Ibra is busy getting ready, or maybe even has set out and is following the apples in the unit.

Audi keeps his phone again on the table, he opens one by one a box of styrofoam that each contains seafood kale, stir-fried peeled mussels, and crispy chicken skin. Not to forget a bundle of rice the size of a small bowl wrapped separately.

Ibra really didn't reply to Audi's message. Audi thought the man had left for work. Speaking of work, Ibra asked him last night not to renew the contract, if Audi's contract period as Brand Ambassador a skincare product that made him work with Gavin was over.

Incidentally next month the Audi cooperation contract is completed with the brand. I don't know, Ibra was really serious about telling her to stay away from Gavin Lee. Audi is not very close to the man. Gavin is friendly to everyone. There are many women who misunderstand and expect more of the man's attention, but of course Audi is different.

Ibra should be aware, what Audi can do while he alone for decades harbored the feeling and failed to move on from Ibra.

Ting.

One clink of incoming notification on his phone. Audi took the object while chewing the scallop he had just tasted.

From Ibra: Udah. It just finished the apple.

Audi lips conical. Sok. Last night I asked for a kiss. Audi typing reply for Ibra.

Audi: The food is good. Message where?

Shortly Ibra immediately replied.

Mas Ibra: You read in the crackle.

Ish. Is Ibra in jutek mode or is it busy?

Yes already. Audi should know itself too, Ibra is not a person who freely reply to messages. It could be that the man was in a hurry until the effect became visible jutek when Audi read.

Smiling, Audi sent another message to Ibra.

Audi: Yes. Thanks, yes, Mas Pampres Darling ... Working spirit. Muaaah.

Audi giggled to himself reading the message he sent. Then he's sure Ibra can't stand being upset with him for long. Just jealous of Gavin, Ibra became indifferent.

Why does Audi feel their situation is reversed? It used to be Audi who liked to silence Ibra and ignored him. Now Ibra did just that.

Exhaling, Audi put his phone back in, then started preparing to eat. Though he was not so hungry, drinking milk and eating cereal alone must be full. But after seeing, smelling and feeling the side dishes in front of him, Audi's stomach so rumbling.

Audi unwrapped the rice, scooped the kale and stir-fried the shells, then the crispy chicken skin which when he bit his crisps made addictive. Audi chocolates it with sambal that is given from there.

"Enh ... Dodgy. Ibra is very attentive, deh, love me to eat."

"He knows best that his girlfriend likes mager in the morning."

Every now and then Audi glances at the phone, checking if there are any replies from Ibra. Result nil. But that's okay, the important thing is now that he knows Ibra has been destroyed because of his call unfortunately.

***

Daytime rising. Audi had an appointment with one of the clients who asked her to be a model. She has taken a shower and prepared with a casual appearance and simple makeup that makes her look flawless and glowing in the heat of the day.

Waving his hair in front of the glass, Audi smiled proudly at the image of himself. Suddenly his confidence was overflowing. Ibra is lucky to get a partner like Audi who is beautiful, want to be taken anywhere will not make the man lose face.

Aih, stop. Audi's beauty is a secret. Audi got up from the glass front, picked up a sling bag with a distinctive C emblem and surely everyone knew it was expensive, then left the room ready to go.

Ibra purposely left her car here for Audi to wear. The man last night rode a gojek that miraculously still operates even though it was quite late.

The boy was standing in front of the house next door, none other than the old house of the Halim family which is right next to the old house of his papi Ibra, which Audi used to stay overnight.

Audi already said, right, Om Edzar and the Halim family was a catanggaan?

Jeno blinked to see her brother, the young man approached Audi with slow and astonished steps.

"Sir, are you in Jakarta too? Since when? How, I don't know?"

Hearing that question, Audi also responded. "That's .. yes, I have a job here. It's been two days ago here."

Audi scratched his nape confused. Why does this atmosphere feel awkward. Audi seems to be caught naughty behind the family. Damn, but that's not the story.

"Keep, how did Mba emerge from there? From the house of Om Prosecutor? You wanna stay there?"

Well, right, this question arises. Jeno questions Audi's presence at Om Edzar's house. Although they are still one family, still this is not normal, especially when the house of his own parents is right standing next door.

"Anu, yesterday was Mba living in our house. But ... that, Mba was afraid. Yes, fear."

Jeno frowning. Audi is looking for an excuse.

"Mba was scared because yesterday suddenly there was a strange noise there. Abis is a curtain of his own movements. It must be a ghost! So Mba got scared and moved here. Yeah, that's it."

"Where can you get in there, where can you get the keys from?" ask Jeno again.

You chatty brat! Audi wants to curl his annoying intimidating pretentious face.

"Mba ask for the same Mas Ibra," replied Audi slightly ketus.

Jeno nodded. "Ooh ... Mas Ibra, huh?"

"Hm." Audi muttered justifying.

Audi pretended to circulate his gaze, but he tried to avoid the eyes of Jeno who was still staring at him full of search.

"You yourself, how come you're here early in the morning?" Now it was Audi's turn to ask. The girl still maintained a prestige face in front of Jeno. He refused to be impressed to lose.

"Lha, I'm going to come back here every once in a while when I'm in college. Today I'm off, at the boarding house is also empty because it's on the go."

"Oh. Yeah, it's in there. Must not have taken a shower, right? You haven't eaten either? Delivery message, mop."

Jeno frowned inside. "Without Mba tell me to take a shower and eat. Mba forgot I'm a regional kid here? I have far more experience than Mba."

Jeno's words seemed to insinuate her. Damn, the boy must have indirectly mocked Audi who from scratch to large lives in the parents' house. College is just there.

"Yes, know. Yes, it's there!" Also long-term annoyance. Having a sister has never been funny.

Silent. Jeno remained silent.

"Why did she?"

"I'm still curious about Mba" I'm Jeno honest. "So, where is Mba going? That too, why is Mas Ibra's car here? Ibra's at home too?"

Audi looked back, where Ibra's Fortuner perched in front of the garage. "No, Mas Ibra is not here. Mba borrowed his car because Mba here did not bring a car," explained Audi quickly.

"Oh, that. Kirain you guys go out together," Jeno said casually. The boy then moved in after opening the gate, leaving an Audi who was not struggling on the spot.

The feeling alone or is it true Jeno suspects?

It may be natural that the boy wondered, because of which Jeno knew the relationship of Audi and Ibra before was very cold.
