Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 149

"Mas Ibra ..." great-grandson of Audi very slowly. His eyes glanced at Ibra who was driving beside him.

They had just returned from Kenan's funeral, and Audi was made to fret by Ibra's look as if he had been reluctant to talk to her. Audi wanted to cry, this really made his heart beat pain from anxiety. Moreover, Ibra did not continue to say until they arrived at the yard of Om Edzar's house in Jakarta.

As always, as long as they were in the capital, this house must have been a living solution.

"Mass?" Audi followed Ibra out of the car. He tried to keep up with his long strides despite being overwhelmed.

Ibra entered the house, as well as Audi who also climbed the stairs quickly because Ibra seemed to not want to hear the explanation.

"Mas, wait!" Audi did not stop crying after Ibra.

Ibra opened the door a little rough, then went to the balcony and stayed there. His head lowered while holding the barrier railing, turning his back to Audi who was standing restlessly behind his back.

"Maos ..."

"Why didn't you ever tell me Kenan was sick?" tanya Ibra flat. He turned to face Audi, looking at him for an explanation.

Audi standing stiff. Ibra had never looked at it in this way, and this made Audi's heart feel like it was hit by a godam.

"I-I ..."

"You also never said Kenan used to call and find Mas?"

"Sorry ..." great-grandson Audi looked down. He nodded trying to explain. "I don't mean to hide this from Mas."

"Then what?" sue Ibra's.

Audi was silent. He did not dare to just look up and could only squeeze his fingers restlessly.

"Mas trusts you, Cla. Mas believes you can be a solution between Mas and Kenan, being the intermediary for our communication. Kenan is not Mas's son, but you know for yourself Mas's relationship and how he. I'm bound by the mandate of Rega, Cla. You should know now how Mas feels. You know how much of a guilt Mas has for failing to raise Kenan."

"Kenan died, he was even sick without Mas knowing" Ibra added.

Audi sniffled in place. It was wrong. He is selfish because it prevents Ibra and Kenan from interacting even through sound. Audi admitted, he deliberately did not send a wedding invitation that Ibra previously intended for Shireen and Kenan. The reason why they didn't come at the wedding was he and Ibra last time.

Audi was also wrong for not telling Ibra about Kenan's condition in the hospital. No, Audi wanted to tell Ibra, but he knew Ibra was busy and always came home tired from work. Audi is so outraged for fear that the man's health is disrupted if it has to add to the trip to Jakarta.

And also .. he was jealous. Jealousy blinded Audi's heart until he could do so. Audi admitted he was wrong, completely wrong.

Seeing that Audi immediately calmed down and hugged Ibra's legs while crying. He continued to apologize repeatedly to Ibra, although again he did not get a response.

Ibra closed her eyes with her lips tightly closed. His breath was wasted long before then he rubbed his face rough. Ibra then looked down at Audi who was sobbing bitterly, inevitably his heart also felt pained.

Ibra rubbed Audi's head, slowly crouched down, then carried the wife into a hug. Without a word he kissed the side of Audi's head, rubbing the woman's back while repeatedly easing emotions.

"I'm sorry, Mas ... Hixes. I ... I really didn't mean to lie. I ... just don't have the heart to see the tired face of Mas Ibra. And I am .. a-I am .. I am also jealous. I'm jealous that Mas Ibra keeps communicating with them. I'm a selfish wife, Mas" Audi said. "I was wrong. I'm really sorry ... Hixes. I'm sorry for breaking Mas Ibra's trust. I'm sorry, Mas ..."

Ibra did not answer, but her hands did not stop rubbing her head until Audi's back slowly. Ibra was disappointed because Audi's attitude was really not exemplary, but he also could not fully blame the wife because jealousy was naturally felt by every couple.

And again, be angry at anything, want Ibra anyhow, destiny still goes well. Kenan's departure has been determined by God, he as a human can not do anything let alone ask Kenan back, just because he felt guilty not accompanying the child in his last moments.

"Sstttt .. stop crying. You can't see your tears. I'm sorry if you feel depressed by Mas's attitude" whispered Ibra. He again dyed the head of Audi covered with hijab.

Ibra tried hard to calm the Audi who gulped in his arms. Emotions beat him for a moment, now Ibra even regretted making Audi cry like this. Though he himself knew Audi was pregnant with his son.

"Sorry, Honey. No, don't cry anymore. You have the right to do so because you are Mas's wife, it is certain that jealousy for others exists. I'm just sorry, why didn't you tell me Kenan called and wanted to talk to Mas? I really feel guilty about her, Cla." Ibra hugged Audi deep. He buried his face between the shoulders of Audi, also gritting the nose that is now wet again by a sense of restrained.

Not only Audi, Ibra also cried feeling deep sorrow. However, Kenan was once a child, even if only briefly. Beyond that he was also a son of the friend, who was entrusted to Ibra guard and raise.

Kenan's departure reflexively made Ibra feel that she had failed to carry out the mandate of Rega. But, even so Ibra should not blame Audi for what happened. He could not immediately vent his raging feelings on the wife.

"Audi apologize, Mas," said Audi raucous.

Ibra. "Yes, Honey. Already, everything has become the way of God. Maybe in this case there is wisdom we can take. Whatever it is, because in every bad there is good, in difficulty there is ease, in testing there must be a way, in sadness there must be happiness waiting. We as humans can only plan without knowing where we are going. Perhaps also .. This is God's plan to appease our household. Mas knows you often object whenever Mas deals with Kenan or Shireen. You often feel jealous of them. I understand your feelings. For that, let's both take positf and strengthen each other. Mas will learn more openly with you, as well as you should be more open with Mas."

"Because in domestic relations must understand and understand each other, maintain communication. Honest in everything. Abstinence for a couple to hide something from each other. I'm honest with you, you're honest with me. Hopefully this can be a lesson for Mas and you, Claudia."

Audi nodded softly in Ibra's arms. She wrapped her arms tightly around her husband. Ibra is right, they should be more open in every way. Audi realized his mistake was not being honest with Ibra.

Not only the man, inevitably Audi also felt guilty. Due to his selfish attitude, Kenan loses the chance to talk to Ibra one last time.

Aunt apologize, Kenan. May you be at peace with God, may you be among His future inhabitants. Aamiins.
