Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 25

Audi had just finished filming an ad and a photo shoot when Tian approached her with a bag of food brand a restaurant.

Audi muttered thanks to the crew who had just wiped the sweat and tidied up his performance. They left Audi and Tian both in the waiting room.

"That's what, Mba?" audi asked as she began removing the wardrobe clothes. He wanted to change into the clothes he had previously worn.

"I don't know, here. There was a Gojek Bang on the phone, he said there was an order for you."

Audi cringing. "But I didn't order anything. Mail order?"

"Yes, we don't have a message. But his brother said it's from your mas."

"Mas Ibra," Tian added.

A moment Audi blinked. Hearing Ibra's name he became ashamed of himself. Well, about how Ibra thinks about Audi's story last night. Audi really hopes it can disappear from the face of the earth. It's mortifying.

"Oh ... Mas Ibra, huh?" scythe Audi. "Y-yeah, save it first. I'm gonna change clothes."

Audi quickly entered the dressing room. His heart pounded again to find Ibra's attention.

After filming Tian took Audi to a place to eat. While Tian ordered, Audi opened a parcel of Ibra's shipment which turned out to be rice and various kinds of healthy side dishes.

There is a note there.

...Don't eat junk food often, yeah. Now again the sick season, you must really take care of health, including food....

Audi folded his lips holding a smile. Without being prevented Audi's heart rippled warmly. Although Audi repeatedly denies and tries to avoid, Audi cannot deny the true feelings that are still embedded for Ibra.

Especially after knowing that Ibra is now alone and has no wife, somehow Audi has to face this big dilemma.

Without Audi realizing his behavior was noticed by Tian. He silently cleared his throat faintly as he occasionally glanced at the girl who was still glued to the writing of Ibra in his hand.

"So since when?" tanya Tian suddenly.

Audi flinched and looked up with a puzzled look. "What when?"

Small clucked, Tian propped up his chin staring at Audi. "Your relationship."

"W-what? Whose relationship?"

"Jeez ... still want to avoid too. Though Mba has been aware since yesterday you met."

"My lady, are you related to your cousin? You guys dating?"

Uhuk!

Audi choked on his own spit. "What does Tian mean, anyway?" sewot Audi shy.

"I mean since when are you guys dating? Is this why you have never been in a relationship with a man? You have someone turned out."

Tian nodded with an understanding expression.

"Crazy, it turns out your taste is smudged, huh? Pantes, guys klimis selebgram, seleb tiktok not your criteria. Look and financially maybe they won, but when viewed from the authority of Mas Ibra is clearly more charismatic."

"Mba Tian what, anyway? We're not dating."

"Don't date but have dared to hug and kiss the forehead? Then what's his name? Husband wife?"

"Mbaaa .." whining Audi. He glanced around with misgivings, afraid that there were netizens who heard.

"Wait, why Mba can tell—" Audi closed his gaping mouth.

Don't tell me Tian caught him and Ibra last night?

As if understanding what Audi was thinking, Tian nodded. "Yes ... Mba let's see you're the same MAS your COUSIN when it comes down to the lobby" he said pressing the word call for Ibra. "Because it feels very awkward if Mba maksa through it, yes Mba back body just back to the room."

What did Tian see for?!

Oh, naw. Not enough family who frenzied to see the story of Audi last night, plus Ibra seemed to follow watering gasoline, now Audi's feelings must also be revealed in front of Tian the manager.

Actually the reaction of his family is not so worrying, anyway. Because in their eyes the closeness of Audi and Ibra has indeed been common for a long time, although some years stretch, maybe they consider it natural because at that time Ibra was married.

Ibra is like a big sister who protects Audi, and Audi is a little sister that Ibra loves. That is how big families view them.

However, there is something different about Aunty Safa. Somehow Audi felt that she knew something between herself and Ibra.

"So which one is right? Still trying or otw halal?"

How Audi answers this, while Audi itself does not know what is currently going on between him and Ibra. Ibra has been a concern for a long time, but this time it feels different. Or is it just Audi?

Had this been Ibra's only form of attention as a big brother exactly as it used to be, maybe Audi would have suffered a heartbreak a second time. No, this time it was much worse because honestly the hope was already sprouting in Audi's heart.
