The Friend With Benefit (FWB)
going Maldives
Leon taps his finger at the driver with Mar sitting next to him, and Eris in the back seat.
The man insisted on driving his own car because Mr. Mar always obeyed the speed standard.
Leon sighed, several times pressing the car horn because of jakarta congestion which this afternoon felt more torturous.
"Mr Mar telfon voorijder. It's a big deal. " (voorijder: road-opening escorts by the police ) .
Mr. Mar nodded, pulled out Leon's phone and typed in some messages that made Leon cluck.
"I said phone! longtime. " Mister Mar nodded, giving his cell phone to Leon who immediately received it quickly.
"I asked for an escort on the ring road of the statue of suta. Soon."
"Good morning, Uncle Leon. Ready, sir, we'll send it right away."
Leon turns off the phone unilaterally, throwing it at Mr. Mar who catches his employer's phone with a swipe.
"what the hell is the vorijder rental of everything? this is a long time ago." Eris leaned forward.
"By, look what time it is. I'll wait for it to get stuck."
Shortly after, police sirens sounded. Coinciding with Leon's phone ringing.
Leon gave the code for his phone to be given to Eris. Then immediately stepped on the gas pedal following the police car in front of him.
***
In less than 20 minutes, Leon's car has arrived in front of the airport lobby.
Leon got out of his car. Nodding at the police who turned his car around and away.
" where's the other red suitcase? you're bringing a small one, huh?" Eris spoke up to see that there was only one small suitcase that Leon had taken out.
"Jeez,by. I'm just spitting, not laughing."
"Leon, all the stuff that's in the shop is there. Clothes, towels everything. Why can you forget anyway? Which suitcase needs to be separated."
Leon blinked as Eris spoke without pause in a faint tone. Just as his mouth opened to answer, Eris pulled out her phone and called someone.
"Hello, Mr. Mar. Please go to the lobby now, yeah."
Eris looks paced - mandir. Nailing his tag nails until Mr. Mar comes to them.
"What's up, mom?"
"Sir Mar, can you please get me a red suitcase? all the stuff"
"ck.Gabakal sempet, by. We'll arrange a shirt later." Leon pulled Eris's hand with another hand carrying the suitcase when he heard the announcement // notice// that their plane was about to take off.
They hunted into the crew of the aircraft cabin. Towards the seat delivered by the flight attendant on duty.
Eris took a seat near the glass. Directing his gaze out because it was still bad for the man next to him.
"by, I'll take care of everything. sorry, yeah." Leon stroked the back of Eris' hand, then rubbed the woman's cheek even without any reply from Eris.
Slowly the plane moves slowly, along with the exhortation - the appeal of the cabin crew.
"Ris, the veneer there continues? ease into his sprain." Leon slightly tilted his body at Eris. Gently rubbed the woman's hair.
"Excuse me,pak. Please drink?" A flight attendant approached them, causing Leon to glance at them briefly while shaking his head and raising his leg, a sign they did not need a drink or food.
Eris blinked as their plane began to rise through the clouds. This is the first time he saw the view from outside in the plane, because every time he traveled after the plane took off surely Eris has moved to the night of his dream.
The rumbling sound and slight shaking made Eris reflex to pull Leon's hand. The panic increased especially when the oxygen masks were lowered in front of them and other passengers who also looked panicked.
The weather outside was clear, but the sudden shock of still unpredictable duration caused the passengers to panic, some screaming including Eris who was still holding her panicked screams.
(Turbolence: is the aircraft shaken due to changes in air speed that occur in a short period of time)
"Honored passenger, please remain calm, this is a natural thing to happen during the flight. Please put the oxygen mask in front of you and stay calm."
A flight attendant was heard urging the passengers of the cabin crew. The plane returned to normal movement.
Eris sighed. Squeeze his chest while pulling away from Leon's embrace.
His eyes looked out again. They're up in the clouds now. Like without end. Slowly Eris' eyes felt heavy, making the woman resist the sleepiness that was getting longer finally her eyes closed.
Leon glanced at Eris who was asleep with her hands holding her head that was leaning near the window of the plane.
His hand turned slowly carrying Eris leaning against his chest. Her smile appeared as the woman moved her head, looking for a comfortable position.
Leon's gaze turned to look out, the expanse of clouds and the clear sky, the actual scenery was ordinary. But, this time the journey is different because it is with the woman he loves.
Leon glanced at the watch that showed at 12 p.m. Remaining +/- 4 hours until they land at the destination. His mind was back to glare, about random things about all things in his life.
His eyes felt heavy, Leon slowly closed his eyes, letting all his thoughts fall with his eyes closed.

"Yon." Eris patted Leon's hand, waking the man up while looking around him.
"mhhh. Why,by?"
Eris pointed at the runway in front of her with her chin. He made Leon rub his eyes and look out the window.
"Ooo Ibrahim Nasir Airport." Leon nodded as he closed his eyes again, before long his eyes perfectly opened wide while looking at Eris who raised his eyebrows.
"sampe already? why gabilang,by. Gosh." The man stood up, put on his backpack and picked up a small suitcase and pulled Eris out.
Someone seemed to be approaching them. Nodding politely to Leon and Eris. His face looks local Indonesia, making Eris blink her eyes while glancing at Leon asking for an explanation.
"Welcome to the Maldives, Mr. Leon, Miss Eris. I'm Yuan, private chauffer (private driver) Mr. Leon." The man introduces himself to Eris who looks confused, then picks up the suitcase that Leon gave him.
In the car, Leon did not let go of his hand grip even a little on Eris. Yuan is occasionally seen stealing his eyes back and smiling.
"Maji sampe gabisa sleep because of the news that Mr. Leon left for the Maldives today." Said Yuan with a sumringah that was only briefly replied by Leon.
"Hm. "
"Maji is already the most romantic place. Even Ma decor Madam Dee's favorite garden. Sir sure-"
"Yes! I'm here because of my wife's request."
Yuan who was originally explaining excitedly was immediately speechless hearing Leon's extremely cold reply. He also closed his eyes briefly and then cursed himself because of his hobbyist mouth.
Before long, their car arrived at a lagoon. Yuan hurried down, prepared to open the door for Leon but was only returned to his head by Leon.
Eris got out of the car while slightly stretching her body. His gaze blinked at the view of the sea as far as the eye could see.
The sea was wide with hills surrounding it. Some speedboats and cruise ships are parked neatly beside the lagoon.
"Come, Master." Yuan holds Leon's suitcase, nods and gives Leon and Eris a way to board their yacht in front of them.
"Lo bring a suitcase, my bag is the same Eris bag first. I'm the same Eris wants to go around first. "
Leon descends from the lagoon, riding on a speadboat that makes Eris afraid to furrow eyebrows.
"Yon, are we riding this? "
"Yes, come. " Leon nodded, pulled Eris and helped her ride the speedboat.
