Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 105

"When, yeah, can you stay with Mami for a month? Hiks, only two days have been left again. Uda, are we moving to Jakarta again?"

"Can't, dong, Mommy. Papi's his service is here" Ibra said.

"Yes but Mami kangen you keep." Safa again whined. This made Edzar who saw fast approaching and embrace the wife to sincerely release their son.

"Ai, a good parent never gets in the way of a child's success. Ibra and her career make us proud. Remember, in this case you also play an important role in encouraging Ibra to be what it is now."

Safa. It is true, he was also the one who supported when Ibra said he wanted to be a soldier. While still a regular soldier Ibra rarely come home, plus after he climbed as a passport, Ibra really like Bang Toyib who can go home only once a year.

Though Safa has been happy because lately Ibra quite often take time off, yes despite the child's goal to straighten out his relationship with Audi, but Safa still partially complete the longing with Ibra's return.

"But, you're going home, right?" Sasha asked Ibra.

Ibra was silent to the mother's question. Time is an uncertain thing to him. It could be now Ibra plans to go home when Lebaran, but who knows when the task will come.

"God willing, Mommy. If there is no duty and Allah wills, Ibra can definitely go home" Ibra replied diplomatically.

Although sad, Safa still could not argue. He just nodded his head in resignation while holding back the tears as Ibra grabbed his hand, dipping it with affection and respect. "Ibra promises to call Mami every time she's free. Don't cry, Ibra asked Mami's prayer so that all Ibra's goals are carried out."

Of course Safa nodded. "definitely. Mami must be praying for the best for you," he said rahu, interrupted by sobs.

Ibra smile. He rubbed the cheek of the woman who became his first love in the world. Safana Halim who occupies the highest throne in the order of people whom he respects the most.

"Already, Mommy. Mami who is the same Papi, keep eating, take care of health. Do not let Ibra hear Mami ngedrop again because of soy sauce."

Ibra turned to Edzar who had been standing quietly beside his wife. "Pi?"

Ibra kissed Edzar's hand. Edzar clasped the son's shoulders, patting him quite hard while rubbing his head from behind several times. "Whatever's healthy. Hope you can do your job well. We're always waiting for you here" he said sounding resolute, but also holding back.

The wise figure of Edzar always amazed Ibra, the reason he made the man a role model. Edzar Adhyaksa was indeed that extraordinary trouser in Ibra's eyes.

"God willing," Ibra assured his father.

Ibra took off her arms from Edzar, she turned to Oma Halim and did the same. Cuddle, ask for prayers, and listen to the typical little tips of parents.

"Yes, you're fine in Jakarta. Be careful on the road" said the oma.

Ibra smiled, nodding deeply. He approached Lalisa and greeted the woman no less respectfully. Lalisa patted Ibra's shoulder before the boy switched to Audi.

"Cla?" Here Ibra was at least able to withstand the expression of her scent. He rubbed Audi's head feelingly. "Mas leaving, huh? Remember Mas's message, do not be too often against the parents, later the quality."

Ibra smile. "Mas didn't swear you. It is true that we must often hear what parents say. It also does our good."

Audi sneered and whispered until only the two of them heard. "If Audi hears what the parents say, it means Audi must also obey Papa's orders to break up from Mas Ibra."

"That's not it either." Ibra was defeated.

Audi smiled triumphantly. "That's why I thought about it first."

"Yes, yes, sorry. They're leaving, huh? Don't miss." Ibra again rubbed Audi's hair, this time more anxious.

"Heem. Mas careful. Remember, chat 5 times a day" Audi chirped.

Kontan Ibra chuckled. "You take this medicine only 3 times a day."

"Yes my dose is different" replied Audi.

"Well, did you overdose, huh? Overdose of his love Mas."

"Ish, don't be a bitch. There's a spit go."

"Excuse me, yell at me crying" Ibra said.

"will not. It's there."

Ibra smile. "Yes, Honey. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Ibra faces Dava. He smiled at the man. "Wa?"

Ibra reached out for Salim. All eyes looked at them as if anxiously awaiting Dava's reaction. It is common knowledge that Dava's attitude has changed since Ibra expressed serious intention to apply for Audi. But unexpectedly now that Dava greeted Ibra casually, he even patted the young man's shoulder firmly.

Ibra pecked for a moment, but then he smiled, looking at the uwa with respect.

"Be careful" Dava said briefly.

Here the most curious Audi, Ibra and his papa had a chat together earlier. About what was talked about until the papa could soften a little so? Is Ibra really just saying goodbye?
