Fugitive Woman

The Beautiful Kalila

Kalila tidied her hair pigtails and immediately pressed a button on the treadmill she was using. The machine was slowly moving and the longer the faster it went along with Kalila's hand that kept pressing the button. Kalila ran excitedly on the treadmill while listening to music through the earphones she used.

Then a man came closer to him and used the treadmill machine next to him. Kalila didn't really care who was next to her. But suddenly the man called out to Kalila in a very cheerful tone. It was as if he had not expected to see Kalila here.

"Calilla? Are you right Kalila?" Said the man.

Kalila turned her head and looked towards the sumbee of the voice. Darian stood next to her in a tight t-shirt and training pants. He seems to be starting to exercise too. The woman then took off next to her earphone and looked shocked to see who greeted her.

"Dance? Is that you?" Tanya Kalila looked excited.

(Darian, is that you?)

Darian nodded.

"Yeah, it's me! That's Darian!" Excited with passion.

(Yeah, it's me. Darian was yesterday!"

Kalila laughed and stopped her treadmill. He leaned his body into the treadmill. Leaning its front towards Darian.

"I didn't know you were in the gym!" Kalila cheerful.

"I'm a regular user here, Kalila. I have a gym here almost every night. But this time I met you." Darian said as he approached Kalila.

"Yes, I've only been joining here for a few days. I haven't exercised in a week since I returned to Indonesia. So I went here to train my muscles." Kalila.

Darian nodded enthusiastically.

"But why did you choose this place? Who recommended it to you?" Ask Darian curiously.

"none. It's just that this place is the closest to my apartment. That's the reason." Kalila replied as she sipped her drink.

"Oh, really? Where is your apartment located?" Tanya Darian was getting more enthusiastic.

Kalila pointed her hand at a skyscraper across from the gym. It is still in a complex with a gym they visit.

"Flooded. The Senopati Suites." Kalila said relaxed.

Darian smiled more and more at hearing it. He was amazed by this woman. Not because of Darian duitan's eyes. But because he felt Kalila was also in the same circles and social strata as him. Plus Kalila also seems to have a lot of similar hobbies with Darian. It felt like he wanted to talk more with this woman named Kalila.

...****************...

Kalila put on a change of clothes after cleaning herself in the gym bathroom. She then rearranged her hair and made light makeup. Kalila then stepped out of the dressing room and saw Darian standing there. The man seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Hey, Darian. What are you doing here?" Tanya Kalila greeted Darian.

"I'm waiting for you, of course." Darian replied with a smile.

Kalila laughed at the man's reply.

"Really's? That's so sweet of you!" Kalila cried as if in disbelief.

(Seriously? You are so sweet!)

"You shouldn't have to do it, Darian. I can go home by myself. Really!" Follow Kalila as she walks up to Darian.

Darian laughed and grabbed his gym bag.

"No, I'm serious Darian. I used to do everything myself in America." Reply Darian.

"And I also seriously want to take you home, Kalila." Darian said he did not want to lose.

Kalila raised both of her hands as if she was being held in a gun.

"All right, I gave up. You can take me home." Kalila said as she walked ahead of Darian.

Darian laughed and immediately walked after Kalila. His wide steps could quickly narrow the distance between them. Darian was now already walking on Kalila's side. The man and woman now walked out of the gym where they had met.

About ten minutes walk away, Kalila and Darian finally arrived at the door of an apartment unit. Number 1004 written on the door indicates the location of the apartment on the tenth floor of the Senopati Suites building.

"Here's your apartment?" Ask Darian to make sure.

Kalila nodded. He then dialed a number that was the access code of his apartment. The door opened and Kalila entered the unit first. Darian was still standing outside the apartment. Kalila then walked back towards the door with a puzzled look.

"What are you waiting for? Let's just go inside." Take Kalila.

"I'm waiting for you to let me in, Kalila. There's no way I'd just walk into a girl's unit without her permission, would I?" Said Darian while walking after Kalila entered his apartment.

Kalila looked at Darian with a look of disbelief.

"Seriously? Well you're a gentleman once, Darian. I'm amazed! Really!" Kalila is happy.

Darian was getting excited to hear the girl praise him. His gaze now wandered to all corners of Kalila's apartment. Really, even Kalila's taste in arranging her apartment was like Darian. Elegant yet minimalist. Highly demonstrates its high class and exclusive. Darian is increasingly interested in this woman named Kalila every time he knows something new about her.

"What do you want to drink? I can make you something, Darian." Kalila asked as she stood behind her apartment mini bar.

Darian sat down in front of Kalila. On top of the bar stools aligned with Kalila's mini bar.

"Surprise me." Said Darian as if challenging Kalila to make her even more amazed.

Kalila then turned to the bar and started making things by mixing some ingredients into a shaker bottle that was usually in the bar. Kalila skillfully made a mixture of drinks and poured them in a glass. He then thrust the glass in front of Darian.

"I made you a martini. Who doesn't like martinis, right?" Kalila said with a sweet smile.

Darian was getting more and more amazed at this woman. It was as if he could read Darian like an open book. Kalila could understand Darian very well as if the woman had known him for a long time. Though this time only the two meet but Kalila can even understand Darian better than Hanna.

"Really, Kalila. You amaze me all the time. Where'd you learn to make a drink like this?" Darian asked after gulping down his drink once.

"My friend owns a bar in America. So in college I used to go there and help him out a little bit." Kalila.

"Fortunately your friend has a friend like you." Darian Imbuh.

"Ah not really, Darian." Reply Kalila while blushing a little.

"Then I can too, right?" Darian asked as he looked at Kalila straight into his eyes.

"Can what?" Kalila did not understand.

Darian gulped down his drink once more before speaking.

"I can be your friend too, right?"
