Calibra: A Delayed Taste

Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 54


The next two days Ibra had returned to his activities as a paspampres. Depart at dawn to headquarters, then go home in the afternoon or evening if the schedule is up. So far the man has not had any assignments out of town or country, so maybe this is the time for Audi to spend time with Ibra, if only he does not remember there are still Shireen and Kenan to be considered.


Previously Audi had told his family in Bandung, that he immediately joined Ibra to Jakarta because of work problems. He could find a reason to make his mother believe. Audi also canceled the holiday with Tian and his team.


Audi could have gone back to Bandung, but he could not let Ibra roam around in Jakarta, when he himself was worried about Shireen and Kenan, especially his mother.


Since their quarrel last time Ibra has always been reluctant to discuss the three people. More precisely Ibra always chose to be quiet if Audi discussed the matter of his former in-laws. The man was upset. Naturally, perhaps Ibra was upset by the words that were thrown out without being filtered.


Though they themselves know Tantri just not willing Ibra taken by Audi. In the eyes of Tantri Ibra was the perfect son-in-law who could be asked for money at will. Although Ibra claimed he very rarely served Tantri while still his son-in-law. There may be some good luck that Ibra always stays in the dorm.


In addition, Audi is a little grateful that Ibra is back to work. Sometimes the man would see Kenan in the hospital, just for a little while. It looks like Audi is still in second place as a priority for Ibra now, after country duties of course.


If Ibra is still on leave, maybe Tantri and Shireen will visit him to keep visiting Kenan. Not that Audi wanted to hold back, but he just didn't sincerely treat Ibra that way, as if Ibra was the one who owed them.


Ibra's guilt seems to be a weapon for them to continue to depend on him. I don't know, for this Audi is so hard to resist negative thoughts. But, seeing the Shireen that is so innocent, Audi also can not help but pity. She was a wife whose husband left her, a single mother who had to take care of her own child, let alone the seriously ill child. Either Audi has to behave how on both.


"Mas Ibra wants me to masakin?" Seeing Ibra leaning tired on the sofa, Audi took the initiative to offer. He had brought the man some water.


Ibra just got home from work and went straight home without stopping by the hospital like yesterday. Tumbens.


"What can you cook?" Ibra opened her eyes while mocking him.


Audi frowning. "It can, really, be easy."


"What's? Telelok? Misa bisulan every day you love eggs."


Audi stomping. "Ih, just yesterday eating eggs, where there are boils."


Ibra smile. "Don't cook, huh? We order it."


Actually Ibra did not want Audi to bother, but Audi actually considered the opposite. The woman thought Ibra had forbidden her from cooking because she was reluctant to eat her cooking.


It must have been a burnt and salted egg yesterday, Audi thought. Naturally, Ibra kapok, Audi is not good at struggling in the kitchen. His ability is clearly inferior to Ibra who can do everything on his own. Maybe it was the result of Ibra's training during his time as a soldier.


Lazy arguing that will eventually make Audi look childish, he said when Ibra messages eating through an online application. Just waiting for less than half an hour the order had already come. They eat quietly while occasionally talking.


"Mas Ibra is still angry about yesterday?" ask Audi in between meals. He plucked the squid's ozeng onto his plate.


Ibra is the same. The man ate ravenously, even his mouthfuls were huge. One Ibra bribe is equal to two bribes for Audi. Audi had thought if Ibra was not difficult to swallow rice that big.


"Yesterday Mas was very angry with his mother Mba Shireen, right? His hands look like that. It hurts to hold my hand. Why didn't Ibra reply, anyway? Or let me give back to my grandmother didn't know myself" Audi finally grumbled.


Since yesterday he has been silent for fear that Ibra's frustration is overflowing.


Audi fell silent. He looked up to see Ibra sitting on the sofa above him. A sudden chill pinched the legs of Audi who was just wrapped in hot pants to the thigh. It swallowed the saliva, Audi was sure he had just seen a flash of anger in Ibra's eyes.


The man looked calm, but somehow his words just invited Audi vigilance when Ibra was really angry. Audi forgets, Ibra once broke the nose of his friend who tried to tease Audi.


Is Ibra trying to keep the same thing from happening again? What Audi knows, if Ibra is at the peak of anger, no matter the man or woman he will not be indiscriminate if he wants to hit.


"Ehm. Mr President, no scheduled visits outside? Tumben Mas didn't walk with him?" Audi cleared his throat, he asked as well as diverted the conversation.


"Work, where there's a walk."


"But I often, tuh, see Mas Ibra's posts in good places. That means taking a walk, right?"


Ibra grunting. "Picture germs can be done one second, because it's behind the task."


Audi muttered oh long. So unfocused he unconsciously swallowed the chili without chewing. Audi is choking on the heat.


"Uhuk! Uhuk!"


Ibra who saw it kept shaking. He hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a drink and handed it to Audi. "Eat it, eat it carefully, do not chat mau. You don't have time to talk."


Audi Manyun, he let Ibra massage his nape slowly, then back to emphasize the half-drinking.


"Udah okay?"


Audi nodded. Ibra went back to where she wanted to continue eating.


"If silence continues to fear Mas Ibra is bored" I'm Audi.


Ibra. "Where there's bored, people eat."


"Mas Ibra from earlier didn't want to look at me. I'm upset, am I talking about Mba Shireen's mother?"


Ibra who was about to bribe back and look at Audi again. The man breathed deeply. "Do you know why we're still talking?"


Silent audi. "I'm sorry, my ashes are sprained and stretched" she later tweeted.


Ibra shook her head slowly. "What you should be afraid of is not Mas who is bored, but your pants. If you get bored, it's not the rice you eat, it's your thighs."


Audi almost choked. Reflexes he looked down at his open thigh. The red Audi face held shame. Was it because of this since Ibra seemed to avoid his sight?
