Love For Gaby

Looking at the Same Sky

Gaby travel is not long, only 1 hour 40 minutes from the airport in Jakarta. Arriving at Singapore's Changi Airport, Gaby immediately walked to the airport gate and looked for a local taxi to take her to the next place.

“Pak, continue to Merlion statue only yes,” Gaby said to the taxi driver.

“Good miss.”

The Merlion or Sea Lion is a lion-headed statue with a body like a fish. Its name is a combination of mermaid (mermaid) and lion (lion).

This 8.6 meter tall statue can be found in Merlion Park or Merlion Park. If from Changi Airport, the distance to Merlion Park is almost 20 kilometers (km) with a driving duration of about 25 minutes.

In Singapore, the streets are not as crowded as they are in the capital every morning, and when the clock comes home workers, motorists and cars will jostle through the streets.

It is not wrong Gaby chose to emigrate to Singapore, in addition to the famous most prosperous country. Singapore also has a very neat structure and urban order. Along the way, Gaby did not encounter air pollution or noise pollution.

The air there is very fresh. So Gaby poked her head out the window of the car to feel the air was so fresh even though the day had begun.

“Woooowww!!” shouted Gaby happily.

From the opposite direction at the red light, Ello sat in the passenger seat staring out the car door. His shadow was far away during his last meeting with Gaby.

“Oh..that, I just want to convince you back. Do you really not want my responsibility Gaby?”

“Of course, why would I hold myself accountable from a man who doesn't love me at all? Even that guy turned out to love my sister more, do you think I'm willing to accept everything? Nah! Better me alone, in fact until this month I am fine and not pregnant like what you are worried about!”

“How can you know that...”.

“Of course I know, because you always mentioned my brother Ganes' name back then. Never mind, I'm sick of talking about it back. And please stop calling me. Let's just say nothing ever happened between us! Excuse me! My time is up!”

“Stupid! Stupid you Ello!”

“Sorry, what did you just say sir? I didn't hear it.”

“Oh.no.”

When Ello threw his gaze back out of the car, Ello was reflexively widened his eyes staring at a taxi car no more precisely a girl who poked her head out of the taxi car.

“Gaby!” ello's mumbling was almost inaudible.

“Pak, please we rotate direction and follow the taxi car that just passed opposite direction please pack fast!” ello's orders to the driver.

“Sorry mister, the detour path is still far from here. Are we looking for another path? But chances are we'll lose the car that will mister search.”

“Just look for the path of turning back the nearest direction pack.”

“Good, mister.”

The green light was on, the driver also spurred the driver back to turn back the direction as requested by his employer.

It was Gaby, right? Or is it just my imagination for thinking too much about the girl? But why did Gaby come to Singapore, I don't think the Ganeses have any brothers here?

Inner Ello in the heart.

After quite far turning back the direction, it turns out that the car driven by Ello lost track of the taxi car that was driven by Gaby.

“Sorry mister, we lost track of the taxi car earlier. There are lots of taxis parked and carrying passengers. There's no way we're looking for one by one mister.”

“Yes, we go straight home,” said Ello in a disappointed tone.

The private four wheels carrying Ello left the crowded place. From inside the car Ello stared out into the sky that looked bright but not as bright as his heart at this time.

At the place that Ello had just visited, not far from where Gaby had just got out of the taxi the girl was riding in. Gaby stopped at the Merlion park where the eight-meter-high Merlion statue stood.

“This is the money sir, the rest you just take.”

After helping Gaby unload her suitcase, the taxi car passes looking for passengers to return.

“Filuh!! Finally got here too. Selfi used to be akh!” exclaimed Gaby as she placed the suitcase she was carrying nearby.

With the carefree and happy feeling that Gaby felt, the girl began to take some portraits of herself from beside the Merlion statue which is the center of the neighboring country's tourist destination.

Coincidentally coinciding is not a holiday so visitors who come are not so many who arrive. Gaby was satisfied to take a portrait of himself with the Merlion statue as a memento someday.

Once in taste quite a lot of portraits he took. Gaby writes a short message to her father to let him know that he has arrived and will call her later tonight.

Gaby continued her journey back to the apartment she used to rent while visiting Singapore. Because Gaby's relationship with the apartment owner is so familiar, it's not awkward Gaby called and asked to leave one room for him.

“Uncle Coco, this is Gaby! Guess where Gaby is? In Singapore!” gaby is alone.

“What? Why not call uncle? Let uncle fetch”

“No need uncle, just leave the most comfortable room for Gaby to stay while in Singapore. Later Gaby will tell uncle about Gaby's arrival!”

“Basic of naughty girls, well come home soon Aunt Ling will surely be happy to know you are in Singapore.”

“Any uncle!”

After calling Coco's uncle, Gaby stopped by a nearby convenience store to buy some personal needs that she would need while living in her new country now.

It didn't take long, Gaby finally arrived at Uncle Coco's and Aunt Ling's residence. Uncle Coco and Aunt Ling were a couple of Chinese wives. They have long lived in Singapore and have an apartment business.

Because the territorial area of Singapore is not so broad, the government provides solutions to residents and foreign tourists to live in apartments or flats that have been provided by the government. Or the property of local businessmen such as Uncle Coco and Aunt Ling.

He has been married for 15 years Uncle Coco and Aunt Ling have never been given children. Therefore, they considered Gaby to be their own child. Moreover, Aunt Ling who desperately wanted a daughter like Gaby.

They also joked together and Gaby also told her his purpose of coming to Singapore. Uncle Coco and Aunt Ling were excited to welcome Gaby to their country. It did not feel like the day was getting late in the afternoon Gaby chose to leave her apartment.

“Aunt Ling and Uncle Coco, Gaby to Gaby's apartment first huh. Want to settle this,” great-grandson Gaby while toting her groceries.

“Later to dinner here yes, Aunty will cook special for you Gaby.”

“Any Aunt!”

“This is your apartment key Gaby, still remind? Aunty cleaned up as soon as Uncle Co. had told auntie. Coincidentally empty, aunty knew it was Gaby's favorite place.”

“Thank you, Gaby dear Aunt Ling.”

“Sama-sama dear, hopefully at home yes. Auntie is so happy you'll settle here. If you need anything do not hesitate with Bibi.”

“Good Bi, Gaby said yes.”

“Okey, don't forget later tonight.”

Arriving Gaby at her apartment, Gaby immediately arranged her luggage to where it was available in the apartment.

About an hour Gaby cleaned up her things, then enjoyed the cold water that was already available in the refrigerator.

From the balcony of his apartment, Gaby can see the Merlion statue that began to sparkle because the day had begun to dusk. From where Gaby was looking at the sky that began to show a shining star.

“Hopefully this new life of mine will shine like the star of the Kejora,” softly Gaby is still staring at the star-studded sky.

Ello also stared at the same sky with sparkling stars dotting the day that began at night.

“Gaby, what are you doing there?”

Seriate..
