Our Love Among Corona

Luky is Here

After 3 years of being my virtual friend, now Luky is real. Today is his flight to Estonia. He will fly from Munich to Stockholm and then to Tallinn. The long dream that was nurtured for 3 years to meet him would end soon. I can't explain my happiness.

Strange in my mind, I have Allan, but the happiness of meeting Luky actually defeats the sense of togetherness with Allan. Even when I was with Allan, I thought about Luky's arrival. What should I behave like, welcoming him with a hug? Kissed her? Didn't do anything? It's been since last night I couldn't sleep well imagining this scene at the airport.

I saw the door coming back, Luky hasn't come out yet. Judging from the schedule, the plane had landed. It should have been a quick immigration process as he held a German passport. Blue continental passport that facilitates its steps so far. I envy sometimes hearing the story, how easy it is for him to enter so many countries in the world without having to be complicated by visa matters. While I, let alone easy, sometimes even my visa application was rejected.

The moments waiting for him seemed so thrilling to me. Relax Vashla, calm yourself down, he's just your friend. No need to overdo it. I said to myself. Is this possible because of our closeness for 3 years that has always been a friend of the story. He was always there to accompany us despite our great distance.

The door opened and there she was, ah her smile was so sweet. I got up from my seat and walked to the arrival door that was filled with other people. Most of them were also welcomed by their beloved.

"Hey, I finally made it. How are you?" he hugged my body so tightly. Makes me have trouble breathing.

"yes, finally. I'm good, really good. How was your flight?" Means back.

He still hasn't let go of his embrace. I looked much shorter and smaller in his arms. Though I was classified as fat compared to women around me in general. It is not high, but my overweight body is so prominent. But how could Luky look so high now. The handsome, with her ever-short blonde hair and seductive nose. Ah I was stunned, being in her arms like now felt so comfortable.

"I miss you". Oh wow, he said this. Usually only I am so diligent in saying I miss you.

"I miss you too". I tried to get out of his arms, but he held me back.

Long time ago, we hugged, there were even only a few people left at the door of this arrival. There are several other couples who also hug and kiss each other. We, without a kiss, just a hug. But at first glance, maybe people also think we are a couple. This hug took so long and we dissolved in our own feelings without needing to be translated into words. I don't know exactly how he feels. But me, my heart is pounding, that's all I know.

We went out and got a taxi. I explained that my apartment was not in the city. Except on the outskirts of the city bordering the forest. Close to the river and the sea. This even makes him more excited, because he really likes a place to live like this.

Luky put his bag in the trunk and closed it again. Then he opened the taxi door for me and then sat down next to me.

"Ke Pirita please," I said to the driver.

"OKs". Answer's short.

Not many taxi drivers in Estonia speak English. They speak Estonian or Russian usually. Taxi drove off the airport. In less than 30 minutes, we will arrive. I don't know, what my life will be like in the future during Luky's company here.

I returned to feel my heart. There's a huge sense of excitement there. Like getting a gift, that feeling is all I have. I smiled at myself.

"You why? How about smiling to yourself?" Ask Luky.

"No pa-pa" I answered short.

"Oh I can see it. I know you're happy I'm here".

Damn it! Thought. He is good at reading every situation. I often don't say everything in words. He guessed it well. Even if we chat via chat or video call.

"This is the first time I've come to Estonia. Although it's European land, I don't think I'll visit this country. I came because you're here".

Luky did say about this, although Estonia is included in the ranks of European Union countries, he was not interested in coming here. His favorite country is Switzerland apart from his own country, and Indonesia. He has been in love with Indonesia since he first set foot in Bali.

"May you be at home here".

"So, what's your plan after this?" my many.

"You mean after Estonia?" ask again.

"Yes" I answered waiting for his answer.

"I'm thinking about going to Switzerland. My friends are there, they said they need more team for their new job".

I floated my gaze out the window, through the pine trees from the roadside through the forest. There's a sense of sadness, considering he'll be leaving again after from here. My heart wants him to stay long. We didn't meet for 3 years, if we had to part so soon, it was sad.

"Relax, I'll stay a long time if you want" he said.

"really?" My smile.

"Yes". He put his hand on my shoulder and pulled my body faster with him. This warm feeling, I thought.

What's happier is that I don't have to fear being alone while Luky's here. Despite deciding to live alone in this apartment in Estonia, this was actually my first experience. I've never lived alone before, not even when I went to Jakarta. I always choose a boarding house filled by several people with adjacent rooms. I can always hear my friend's voice from the next room. So I don't have to be scared alone.

Besides the fear of living alone, I also have a great fear of the dark. So if suddenly the lights go out, I'll be so tormented as if to pee in my pants. However, thankfully during my stay in this apartment, it never went out of lights. I also sleep with the lights on, only when there are friends, I will sleep in the dark. Although I know sleeping with the lights on is not good for health, but sleeping in the dark actually tortures me mentally if alone.

"Still far?" Ask Luky.

"That's a little more. Just a few more turns".

"After this, turn the right please and then left," I gave the driver instructions.

"Oh wow, this is a good area. Many trees". Luky continued to observe around and several times asked about the buildings we passed.

"Yep, we're there".

We handed over 15 euros to the driver and entered the apartment parking area. Each apartment building has its own parking area. So in our building which consists of 3 floors, only these residents only get access to parking or can enter the building area.

"Welcome to my sweet apartment" I said after leaving the taxi.

"Wow this is really beautiful & sweet as you". He blinked his eyes in flirtatiousness.

"i know's. That's why I really like it here" I said.

"You are lucky. Apartment is good gini. The balcony is also big and at the very edge" he looks very fond of it.

"Enjoy, this is your home now" I said.

"Thank you". He stroked my head and passed towards the balcony.
