Important Documents

The long night they passed brought Kalea to sleep longer. Even when the sun had risen and the light had begun to pour through the air vents, the woman was still reluctant to open her eyes.

Gavin gave a smile, sat himself on the edge of the bed again, reaching out to gently caress Kalea's head. Now, he was neat, ready to go to the office to take care of some things that turned out not to improve if only he took care of from home.

Kalea who felt a touch on her head wriggled softly, her eyes twitching a few times before finally opening wide and her smile also joined them when she found Gavin looking at her deeply.

"Morning, Boo." Sapa Gavin's.

"Morning," Kalea said hello. He reflexively closed his eyes as Gavin suddenly brought his face closer, only to land a kiss on his forehead.

"I have to go to the office today, is it okay?" ask Gavin after returning to his original position.

"Yeah," Kalea answered slowly.

"I'll see you as soon as I can. I don't try until night."

"Yes, Gavin. I'll be waiting for you, just calm down."

Gavin smiled again and immediately got up from his seat. He was already about to step up, when Kalea's hand suddenly just restrained his arm.

"Why? You need something?" tanyakanya.

Kalea looked hesitant for a while. Until then, the woman spoke in a very slow voice, barely audible if only Gavin did not focus on the woman.

"Can I get my morning kiss first?"

Gavin chuckles. It's like dejavu, where many days before this, he had said the same thing with the intention of teasing Kalea, and the woman refused exactly what she asked for. But now, the woman asked him the same thing.

Know what's more adorable and makes Gavin's heart suddenly pound? Kalea said it with a timid and red tinge of face peeking out before finally appearing on the woman's cheek.

I don't know when exactly, but Gavin discovers that what Kalea is saying is an absolute order to him. He had to fulfill it, even if it was things that sometimes sounded absurd.

And so, without wasting more time, Gavin bowed, and, holding the weight of his body so that he did not fall forward and overlay the body of Kalea who was still lying on the bed then landed a kiss on the lips of the woman.

Just a kiss, as he landed on Kalea's forehead earlier. Because if he gives you more than a kiss, Gavin is worried that they will spend the whole day in this room to start trying something new.

Although it was just a kiss, what Gavin gave had succeeded in making Kalea feel happy. If the morning kiss is already obtained, he can just release Gavin to go to work. Because perhaps, he would start to miss the man just as his figure disappeared behind the bedroom door.

Don't ask when Kalea became like this, because she doesn't know. On awakening, Kalea had already found herself falling this deep for Gavin. Even the roaring sound of the man's breathing alone had already subconsciously become opium to him.

"Put your clothes on, it'll catch a cold." Gavin said as he pointed at a salem-colored dres below the knee that he had prepared on the nightstand.

"Yes, yeah. Uda, there the hunt leaves, later." Kalea said while sitting down and holding a blanket wrapped in her plain body tightly.

"It's .. kinda weird. But I like it."

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

Half an hour after lunch, Kalea climbed to the third floor of her studio to spend some time there while reading some of the collections of books that had long been stored in the closet. His brain was not producing any ideas to pour into the writing, so he thought it would not hurt to start reading the books as reference material.

The spot that has always been Kalea's favorite when hanging out in her studio and not wanting to paint is a wooden chair facing the window. Where he could look at the tall trees growing around his house.

Kalea sat herself down on the chair, picking up one book among six books neatly stacked on the table. Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist had bought her a few months before her meeting with Gavin on the recommendation of one of her girlfriends, Mark Lee NCT.

Actually, Kalea had read some of the early chapters in the book since the first day the book reached her hands. Where he captures that broadly speaking, the book tells the story of the life journey of an Alchemist who struggles to pursue dreams and the true love of his life. The book had managed to make Kalea fall in love even before she reached the middle chapter. But because he was quite busy at that time, only now can this book be read again.

Previously, Kalea had already signaled up to where she was reading, so she had no trouble continuing on to the next chapter.

In just a matter of seconds since his eyes began to look at the row of writings in the book, Kalea had already become very focused. His eyes moved to the right and left. His lips occasionally muttered as he found a line that he found interesting.

Page after page behind, chapter after chapter he managed to read and more and more new vocabulary and knowledge he got from there.

Until when she arrives at the end of the chapter, Kalea is forced to stop her activities when her ghost catches the sound of knocking being thrown repeatedly at the studio door.

Kalea drew a glance from the book in hand, turning towards the door where Bi Imah appeared with a brown envelope in hand. The woman then walked over, then thrust the envelope in front of Kalea.

Though puzzled, Kalea took the brown envelope out of Bi Imah's hands and immediately checked the outside to find out who the sender was and to whom the brown envelope was addressed.

In the lower right corner of the envelope is Kalea Dimitria. But in the empty top left corner, there is no sender name.

"With this brown envelope, the usual courier between my groceries in the online shop or not?" ask Kalea. Starting to suspect that maybe the contents in this envelope is something strange like that gift box that he received a few days ago at his house and Gavin.

"No, Neng." Bi Imah replied with a feeling of fear that began to arise. "Who among men, riding a big motorbike wearing a full face helmet. He said it contained important documents and must be quickly submitted to Neng Kalea, so Bibi directly delivered here."

Instead of answering, Kalea even daydreamed while thinking about the characteristics of the person who had delivered this envelope. A male? Ride a big bike and use a full face helmet? Wh who?

Bi Imah who realized that Kalea's reaction looked unnatural was getting scared. His premonition said that the brown envelope should not have reached Kalea's hands. However, Bi Imah did not dare to ask anything until finally Kinara returned from his daydream and immediately smiled a thin smile as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Bi, I'm really waiting for this document." Lying Kalea, who was aware that Bi Imah was starting to worry.

Hearing Kalea's reply made Bi Imah able to exhale a little relief. The woman then resigned and Kalea immediately agreed.

The studio door was again closed, inversely proportional to the door in Kalea's brain that was wide open, ready to accept a new task to digest whatever she would find inside the brown envelope.
