Contradictory Love's

25 - Depart

Calista and Daniel faced each other with Daniel's hands coiled around his wife's waist.

Calista put on her sunglasses because her eyes were still a bit puffy from crying since last night. He was wearing a slightly loose dark yellow blouse with a low neck in the shape of a 'V' combined with black tight jeans plus matching colored sneakers with his blouse.

With sunglasses quite large that cover almost half of his face, Calista looks stunning in Daniel's eyes. His wife looked very cute that afternoon with her long hair pucked in the back.

"I'm gonna miss you so much, baby." said Calista softly.

Daniel smiled forcefully and then gulped his saliva. He tried hard so that Calista could also be relieved to leave. After all, his wife had already missed the night with many cries. Even though Daniel had touched her and had her fucked many times last night, his wife was still crying.

"You take care of your health there. And remember, never ignore a video call from me." Daniel said, kissing his wife's lips softly.

"You too baby, take care of your health and don't work late while I'm gone. I love you so much."

"I love you so much too." Daniel replied as he let go of his embrace.

"Come in..Then your plane takes off."

Calista kissed her husband on both cheeks, then pulled her small suitcase, ignored her hands and then walked among the passengers.

Daniel was hurting his wife's missing body. Half his heart felt carried away. He took a heavy breath and let go of it heavily, then put on his sunglasses, walked to the parking lot and returned to his office.

The plane has been in the air for a few minutes. This time Calista did not forget to ask for the seat number by the window.

Looking at the clouds outside, she smiled, recalling her first meeting with her husband. There was a longing that was deep in his heart.

The short, sweet days she had enjoyed with her husband filled her daydream. Calista closed her eyes to sleep. Understandably, her husband unceasingly kept her up every night.

Despite trying hard to sleep, Calista still did not succeed. His mind wanders everywhere. Finally he decided to take his little notebook from the bag, open it and start reading some notes related to his activities in Singapore.

"Hour 4pm make an agreement with Marcel at Brilliant Cafe located near Marina Bay." Calista murmured as he continued reading.

Calista read the name of the hotel that had been arranged by his brother. Although Marcel had his own apartment and was willing to accommodate it if he wanted to spend the night in Singapore, Calista always refused. Wh why? Because Marcel's apartment smells of cigarette smoke. His brother was a smoker but when it comes to drinking alcohol, he was terrible. His stomach can't stand alcoholic beverages. In a bit, his stomach would be instantly wrapped around. So if you go to a bar or cafe, he will just order a regular soda. Funny, but that's Marcel.

Calista tried to add a note to her book when the man next door asked her.

Hearing the man's question, Calista smiled kindly. "Sure." Answer's short.

The man smiled sweetly. "May I know what time it is?" Ask in Indonesian. Apparently, he just wanted to make sure whether Calista could speak Indonesian or not because when he looked at Calista's notebook accidentally, everything was written in Chinese.

"It's 12:45 now, sir." replied Calista.

"Dave Ardiansyah's. Just call me Dave. The word 'Sir' seemed old to me. I'm not really old, am I?" Dave's words make Calista sumringah.

"Thank you for telling me the time. My television screen was a nuisance, so I couldn't check the time. I forgot to wear a watch because I was in a hurry to the airport. Nice to meet you, ..mbak...."

"Calistas. My name is Calista." replied Calista, replying to Dave's hand.

Eventually Calista got a chatter during her flight to Singapore. Dave loves to tell stories. In contrast to her husband who is irritable to talk to others except with his wife, parents and also Ayunda, his brother.

Dave is an adventurer. He is a free-lance consultant who has been to several countries. He told me that he did not like the ties of work that were too binding. Calista was amazed by Dave's experience. He had planned to travel to several countries after resigning. But fate brings him to Daniel and gets married.

Dave is a tall man with yellow skin. His face resembled that of a drakor star with somewhat long hair when compared to a typical male haircut. It also looks very casual with its white shirt rolled up sleeves combined with its short dark blue knee-length and sports shoes. Although the appearance is very casual, it adds the impression of "cool" for people who see it, especially women.

 

**DAVE ARDIANSYAH**

 

The trip was really not felt for Calista. He is grateful to be able to meet Dave the 'story master'. That way Calista could forget his sadness for a moment until the plane they were riding arrived at Changi Airport.

They shook hands again and then parted ways. The day was very bright and the sun was shining brightly making Calista start sweating.

A few minutes later he caught the figure of his brother, Marcel, behind the crowd and was waving his hands.

Calista smiled and returned the wave. Soon they were in Marcel's car, which took him to a hotel to check in.

"Rest for a minute. I will also rest in the lobby while waiting for you" Marcel told his brother.

Calista nodded and left Marcel for the elevator. Today was exhausting for Calista. She sent a message to her husband to tell him that he had arrived in Singapore safely.
