Our Love Among Corona

Istanbul & Missing the Calling

I cried as if I could take Luky off. Alin & Manu stood from a distance of 2 meters and did not hug. Keep our distance because we've been at the airport some time before they. Especially after the news found positive people Corona at this airport. Alif stood up and then also hugged me. I said see you again to everyone. It's not goodbye from the purpose of this temporary separation. Although the heart goes in a state of anxiety. Luky kissed my lips for so long and let me off at the interstellar border.

"I love you and please wait for me" he said, looking into my eyes.

"I love you too. I will wait for you" I reply.

He can only see me from there, because I'm going through an examination soon. I looked towards her last and gave my kiss a long distance away. I stood with several people within a predetermined distance. Then take off my jacket, my shoes, put them in a separate basket, as well as my electronic equipment that must be removed and placed in a separate braid. All those baskets have to go through airport checks.

It's a habit I've repeated no matter how many times in my life. As in some other European airports, Tallinn airport is quite strict process, even all objects containing liquid must also be removed and put in separate plastic. I wiped away the remaining tears that fell. Heartbroken that we will be together again soon. Taboo Vashla, I said to myself.

We didn't stop texting each other until I boarded and HP had to shut down immediately. I breathed heavily and leaned on the chair. Tired because of the condition of the mixed heart, also the physical of the energy drained, not to mention the lack of sleep, led me to sleep shortly afterwards. All the way to Istanbul, I slept between waking and waking. The transit city I usually choose, before continuing my journey to Jakarta.

There are no direct flights from Tallinn to Jakarta, all flights there are other transit cities to choose from. Istanbul, often my choice. Cold air hit my face as I exited the fuselage and walked towards the airport room. Like I can smell the tantalizing scent of Turkish Delight, even if it's only happening in my mind. Hungry, that's how I feel. There was food on the plane before.

Kuraba of my heart, there is a longing that keeps calling her name. The matter of being separated is also still restless. I assure you again, everything's gonna be right. Luky will soon get an answer from his aviation agency. He will soon be able to return to Germany. I comforted myself deeply that we would soon be together and united in marriage.

In the toilet, I raised that hope. While fulfilling the call of nature which of course I cannot miss. Conditions that are so mandatory and determine the comfort of the next activity at the airport. I ordered food and coffee at one of the cafes in the airport lounge after coming from the toilet. Then began to compartmentalize my HP, want to immediately connect with the airport internet. Although I know very well, I often have problems with Istanbul airport wifi, still, I wish there was a miracle.

May it work, my mind. It's really important, because I want to hear his voice right away. Missing in my heart just calling her name and I want her now. The test of my longing has begun. The airport internet doesn't work on my HP, not on my computer. Damn, the cafe I chose could not internet, there was a problem.

I ordered food and coffee here, I thought. This is the first time I have fretted when I am not connected to the internet at this airport. Usually no problem, without the internet not a big deal for me, let alone just a few hours. Want to move to another cafe, comfortable kepalang and so lazy motion. All right, my mind works. Find a man who can be asked to help. Because I'm a girl, I think men are the right targets to ask for help. My target, also usually young people if pressed like this. Somewhat generalizes my attitude, but it often works.

My radar works, it needs people's reading skills. If you choose the wrong person, you will be rejected. Communicating in the wrong way, too, will be denied. Using the wrong timing, will also be rejected. The words of my mentor. "You have to be able to read people like you read a book" he said.

"Read this book" he handed me a thin book that I had to read at that time.

As always, there is a waiting task. If the book is finished, then I should come to him to share what I have learned in the book. Okay, use that skill. Body language is the key. Read someone's body language. Which body language speaks and hints are easy to ask for please. I looked to the left corner. A woman with earphones, busy with her HP. Body language and facial cues indicate that he does not want to be disturbed at all.

"What can I help you with?" asked the brown-haired, black-haired man with the sharp nose in front of me.

"Can I use the internet from your HP? I have a problem with the internet connection at the airport" I asked him and did not forget to put on my face.

"Sure. Give me your phone" he asked.

I stretched out my HP and I saw him enter the password from his hotspot. Yup! I screamed in my heart. The man stretched out my HP back with a friendly smile. I thanked him repeatedly. Not long after, I connected with Luky's number.

"Hi honey, are you good? everything's okay?" Asked Luky across the street when I called him.

"Hi love, all good. Why worry so?" my many.

"Yes, since I checked your flight schedule, the plane has landed from earlier. But there's still no call from you" he explained.

"Oh sorry. I was in the toilet for a long time. Then look for a comfortable cafe and it turns out there is a problem with the internet".

"Where did internet come from?".

"There were two young men in the corner. I mean in the same cafe as me. I asked him to share his hotspot. So I can call you".

"Oh, very good of them. Say thank you to them yes".

He seemed so happy to hear my voice. We can let go of longing even through sound. Of course I don't make calls through video. His name also borrowed people's internet, of course I know myself. I had a 30-minute chat with him, the two men had to leave this cafe. Their departure means also the departure of the internet network that I am using. The guy's been good, I told you I'd use the internet to call and it didn't matter to him.

We kiss each other virtually. My heart felt lonely after that. Ah miss, it's coming too soon and I know it won't pass. Be patient with my heart until you meet your love again.
