Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 57

Late at night, the dawn adhan had reverberated a while ago. Ibra is neat with a black suit and also a red tie that is often his trademark as a paspampres. He was also ready to carry his backpack when he left the room.

His feet stopped when he found Audi downstairs. Seeing that Ibra ggas hastened his steps down the stairs.

"Are you awake, Cla? I made breakfast in the kitchen. I thought you were awake for a long time."

Silent, Audi did not reply, he stared straight at the television in front of the morning news.

"Mas leaving, huh?" Ibra said to Audi who was sitting on the sofa in the middle room.

Actually Ibra was a little surprised, usually he went out of the room, Audi must have not woke up. They live in separate rooms. Audi wanted to stay at his old house which was also next to Papi Edzar's house, but Audi was afraid of being alone, especially that the house had long been left and had not been rented again.

Ibra looked to sigh. Apparently, overnight problems had a huge impact on their interactions at home. Audi is angry with her, Ibra is well aware because the girl continues to silence him.

"I want to go home" Audi suddenly said. "Ke Bandung," he continued.

Hearing that, Ibra who was putting on socks turned her head quickly. "Now?"

Audi just nodded, his countenance looking flat and reluctant to look at Ibra.

Ibra undoes the intention of putting on the shoes, he gets up and stands right next to Audi. "Yes, Mas permission used to be same—"

"Don't do it, I've made the same agreement" refuted Audi quickly.

Ibra cringing in. "Friends? Who?"

Audi looked up at Ibra expressionlessly. "Mas don't need to know." He then moved and walked past Ibra intending to climb the stairs.

Ibra chased and held her arm. "Wait, Cla. Why are you suddenly going home? Isn't your leave still three days away?"

Audi brushed aside Ibra's rough hands, he turned to look at Ibra fiercely. "Why do I want to go home?"

"Cla."

"I'm tired, it turns out I'm not that strong in a relationship with Mas."

"Claudia, what do you mean?" Ibra started to fall.

"Mas thinks to himself. I am a free-spirited woman who always thinks of comfort for myself. Being in a relationship with a man who's still involved in the past is not at all what I want."

"Cla."

"Cla, listen to me first. Let's talk about this again, okay?" Ibra pleaded while chasing Audi.

Audi walked quickly up the stairs entering the room. He closed the door and locked it right in front of Ibra.

"Cla?"

Tok to tok.

"Cla, listen, Mas." Ibra knocked on the door and called Audi.

In the room, Audi immediately prepared to clean the bag, put some clothes that had been bought suddenly into a small suitcase used camping.

Audi also changed clothes and dandan thin-thin, it happened that he immediately took a shower when he woke up earlier. Audi has been planning this return since last night.

Just as Audi was getting ready, his phone rang signaling a call. Audi immediately picked it up and lifted it up quickly.

"Hello, Gavin?"

"So to Bandung? I'm ahead, which house are you in?"

Audi rushed to look at the window, looking Gavin was in a daze in front of his car, another man who Audi knew as an assistant the man also accompanied.

"Okay, bud, I'm down. It's ready, okay."

Audi hung up the phone and went back to picking up his bag and suitcase in bed. He unlocked and found Ibra still standing at the door.

Finding Audi out, Ibra quickly straightened up. He looked at Audi from top to bottom, then stopped at the suitcase in the girl's grasp.

"You seriously want to go home?"

Audi did not answer, he went past Ibra who was chasing him again. "Cla, Mas's permission is the same boss, Mas can take you."

Still got no response. Audi even refused the help of Ibra who was about to take over the suitcase while on the stairs.

Audi stopped, his body half-spinning looking at Ibra. "okay? We always talk well but the end remains the same, making me disappointed," fiercely Audi said.

He continued down the stairs, ignoring Ibra who continued to babble behind him.

"Cla."

"Cla don't go."

"Please talk first."

"Cla!"

Audi opened the door and rushed towards the gate. He shifted the iron door to display Gavin who was still dipping there.

The dapper-looking man turned around. "Oh here it turns out." But then Gavin felt awkward to see Audi is not alone. "Eh, hello, Mas?"

Gavin was not stupid, he felt an aura of tension around them. Evidently from the way the man beside Audi who was looking at him was full of probing. Gavin really felt stripped down right then and there.

Gavin turned to look at Audi. "This ..."

"He's my cousin" Audi interrupted quickly.

That certainly made Ibra look at him. "Cla?"

"Oh ... Greetings, Mas" Gavin said, nodding politely.

Actually Gavin didn't want to ask about the man who was with Audi. Bodo wants it to be a cousin or a girlfriend. He just wanted to ask if they were going to Bandung, because as seen the situation suddenly unpleasant.

Ibra ignored Gavin, and he saw Audi demanding an answer. Why is it Gavin? And why Gavin?

"Cla, are you serious about Bandung now? It can take you, huh."

Audi looked cynically. "Relatedly? Mas Ibra must have received a work permit penalty continue."

Inevitably Gavin and his assistants also observed Ibra. The reflex assistant whispered in Gavin's ear. "And, paspampres."

Gavin laughed crisply. He scratched his head a little confused. "Yes, Mas. Let me and my friend drive Audi. We happen to have a project in Bandung. Last night Audi said you guys came home."

But Gavin immediately got a sharp Ibra glare that looks fierce in his eyes. Oh, my God, is he really his cousin or his girlfriend, all right? Inner Gavin.

Their attention was caught as soon as Audi moved closer to Gavin's car. Sontak Gavin told his assistant to help Audi put the suitcase in.

Ibra who saw it immediately ambushed Audi who was about to get into the car.

"Cla, what the hell are you, coming home with her? Can you explain, right?" angry Ibra.

"Clearly what? I told you I wanted to go home."

"Why should I be with them?"

"Should I answer?" audi sewot.

"Claudia, I don't like you being stubborn, yeah."

"Bodo. After all, if Mas does not escape, I will report about Mas and Mba Shireen's actual marriage" Audi threatened.

Ibra's reflexes loosened, Audi pulled his arm quickly and exclaimed at Gavin and his assistant, who was staring at the side of the road.

"Ngapain dumbfounded? Come on!"

"E-Eh, yes." Gavin nudged his assistant to immediately enter the wheel.

Gavin sat in the front seat of course. He is still sane not to accompany Audi in the back. The lion might attack him all out.

Audi slammed the door and locked it fast. He could still hear Ibra's voice calling out to him from outside.

"Patches of the road" Audi said.

Gavin's assistant looked doubtful at the actor. Gavin signaled to comply with Audi's request only.

Eventually the car slowly drove. While Ibra, he stared at their departure with a slightly sad look. Unfortunately Ibra could not follow, he had received a warning from his superiors if he took another leave. This was the first time Ibra hated her own work.
