Calibra: A Delayed Taste

CALIBRA | CHAPTER 88

Ibra lowered her cell phone. He was pensive for a moment, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. For a moment Ibra was glued to the screen of his phone that was already dark. Audi has just disconnected their video call.

Uwa you know Audi as a man.

The words of the mother returned to her head. The reason why Ibra contacted the girl was through a video call. Unfortunately, it looks like Audi is indeed willing to hide the reality from Ibra. Ibra knew Audi was not going with Ajeng, but with the man Mami Safa said she had introduced her to the girl.

Ibra's angry? No. gabe. He only felt a little envious of the man who could so easily attract the heart of Uwa Dava even though he had not met for long. Not to mention Audi who seemed to deliberately cover up.

"Bang!" An appeal diverted Ibra's entire attention from his reverie.

He looked up and found one of his colleagues calling. Ibra put her phone in her pocket, allowed the earpiece to be placed in her ear, then stepped closer with a look that of course had returned to how it was. Abstinence for Ibra brings personal problems into the realm of work.

Ibra wears more special glasses, special glasses that can detect movement, the object is often used by the paspampres when serving in crowded places.

"The east is safe?" ask Ibra.

"Faith, Bang. Just so I peed, Captain said, Brother moved east first."

This afternoon they were escorting the President and First Lady to a political event held in a village in Bekasi. In keeping with the theme of the event, their elite troops also wore formal attire exactly like the object, in this case certainly the President and his wife.

Ibra turned east at the request of her friend. In order to maintain the formality, Ibra forgot for a moment the Audi problem that is now on its way with other men. Ibra couldn't lie that her heart felt betrayed.

"What does Mas Arga want to talk seriously about?" ask Audi. Now they have moved to a bench in front of the food stand. To accompany boredom, Arga buys a kebab for their talkative friend.

Arga casually swallowed the chew before opening the sound. "You must be aware and know very well the purpose of Om Dava telling us to walk."

Audi turned his head for a while biting the kebab. He just nodded slowly in response to Arga's sentence. "Yes, I know."

Arga smiled faintly. "Of course, Papa you know us with one purpose, and we both have the same mind. Because you're aware of it too, so I don't need to beat around the bush."

"He's trying to set us up, isn't he?"

"That's ..." Audi didn't expect Arga to be this to the point.

"And if I don't think wrong, you actually already have a lover. Am I right?"

"Ehm. Yes," replied Audi. He ate his kebab again while occasionally glancing at Arga.

Unexpectedly, Arga then said. "Good," he smiled, staring at the kebab stuffing that was somehow observed. "Because honestly I've also liked someone."

Audi was surprised. His mouth looked up for a moment. "What?"

Arga smiled again. "You must be surprised" guessed right.

"So, why would Mas Arga want to be invited by Papa?"

"What?"

"Papa you invite me to the house because he wants to discuss about my new business venture capital. He said he wanted to help, I was told to come to the house, yes I did because honestly it was needed again. I don't think at all he will recognize us, even immediately tell us to walk both ways. Haha."

"Oh, that's .." murmured Audi.

Arga looked at it briefly. "Yes that's it. Now you don't misunderstand me anymore, do you?"

Now it was Audi's turn to look. "Kok, Mas Arga knows I got it wrong?"

Indeed, previously Audi had thought Arga and his father were working together for this introduction. He thought Arga was one of the men who were dizzy looking for a future wife, to want to be offered an acquaintance with Audi.

Audi grimaced in shame. He scratched his nape while again biting a small kebab.

"But Mr. Dava did have a story about you, anyway. He said he was looking for a man to be a son-in-law, " added Arga later. "You don't know your boyfriend yet?"

"That's ..." Audi remembered, Ibra was some time ago had to go to Bandung. Did Ibra also meet her father?

"My girlfriend is busy. I haven't been able to take him home yet, hehe."

Arga just nodded. "Where does he work?"

"Jakarta."

"Oohs. What corporation?"

"No, he works in the palace."

Unknowingly Arga looked over quickly. "Stana?"

Audi nodded.

"President?"

"Yes. He's a member of the Paspampres" Audi said proudly.

"For what?" Arga gawked in disbelief.

"Why? Can't believe I get an elite squad?" Unknowingly Audi became a little cynical.

"believe. Cuman .. This is an elite army, you know. Not just any TNI. If you know your family quickly, they will definitely not be your friends again."

Audi snorted in heart. His family already knew Ibra, only they did not know he had a special relationship with Audi.

"Yes, I'll know you later."
