Calibra: A Delayed Taste
CALIBRA | CHAPTER 73

"Audi can't go to Bandung now, Ma, suddenly there is a call from the brand. It's about a contract that expires next month." Audi said that someone who is none other than Lalisa.

Since morning the mother asked if she was going to come home from Jakarta. Audi has not answered. Of course the biggest reason he did not want to go home because he was not ready to fulfill the call of the oma.

Because of this too Audi forced Tian to Jakarta today as well. The woman had just arrived through subhur after taking a sudden trip a few hours from Bandung.

"When Mba has been very fond of being able to vacation again does not concern you. It's even a sudden call asking to come here. Kirain yes there is work, the question is you just need a temen ngeles so as not to be caught idle in the capital," Tian said as soon as he arrived in Jakarta this afternoon.

Back at Audi and his phone, he tried to figure out an excuse so that Lalisa believed that he was busy and could not go home quickly. Funnily enough Audi complained it all to Ibra who incidentally was in Bandung.

Audi doesn't know, because Ibra didn't tell him about the man's return. Without Audi realizing Ibra can only shake and snort amusedly read the messages of the lover which all contain anxiety.

"Udah first, yes, Ma. Anyway Audi can not go back to Bandung first. If Mama doesn't believe me, tell Mba Tian." Audi looked at Tian curiously, asking for help by throwing a silent gesture.

Tian who had been sitting on the sofa, frowned bitterly at the behavior of his artist. In his heart he murmured, bothered exceedingly this one virgin. The most chubby virgin, yes, Audi.

Tian was forced to receive a mobile phone call from Audi because he heard Aunt Lalisa had called his name.

"Tea? Tian Tea? Is Audi really doing business in Jakarta? It's not just her wits that she can't go home, is it?"

Tian grimaced before preparing to lie. "Really, Aunt. We just got home from a photo shoot. Not late afternoon there was a briefing with the other party."

Audi gave both thumbs up with a satisfied look. "Good" whispered the girl without a sound. Tian was indeed beyond doubt, that woman was extremely reliable in any case, let alone looking for an excuse.

"Oh, huh? Yeah, already, deh. Though there is an important thing that must speak directly with Aunty Audi. But I'm not sure if you're busy. Later if the Audi schedule is not solid, please bring Audi to Bandung, yes, Tea?"

It must be about Oma, Audi thought.

"Yes, Auntie, ready."

"Auntie tipped Audi, yes, Tea. That kid likes bad sometimes. Didn't realize the age of three heads."

"Ready, Aunt."

"Yes, Auntie hang up. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Aunty."

The phone disconnected, and Tian immediately stared at Audi flat with his lips pursed straight. His mutter greg saw Audi. "Why are you, anyway? Suddenly like that hot worm? You're not clear yet, yes, why suddenly tell Mba to come here."

Tian looked at Audi demanding.

The audience scowled thinly, he took back his phone in Tian's hand, then walked over and threw himself onto the sofa by the bedroom window. Jeno was back in bed this morning. The boy started college again. Audi is grateful, anyway. Seeing Jeno only makes emotions, considering it must be the boy who spread the news to his om.

"Jeno knew me and Mas Ibra were dating," I Audi began to explain.

Tian frowned, even so he kept waiting patiently.

"And suddenly Oma chat I want to meet. Worse he also chatted Mas Ibra with the same message. I'm sure Oma must know, and it's from Jeno. Camel is the one boy." Audi grumbled in annoyance.

"Certainly? The problem is where?" tanya Tian did not understand. "It's true you're dating, right?"

Audi clucking. "Yes I'm not ready if Oma finds out. If Oma finds out she'll have me get married fast. In her eyes I'm an old virgin."

"Emang," said Tian. Audi glared at hearing it. Then Tian continued. "When viewed from the standards of the past, yes, you are a spinster. It used to be a marriage under that age. There are even, really, fifteen-year-olds who are married. But that was then, now the standardization for a married woman is already quite high. So, yeah, depends on how people look, anyway. Your family's still pretty dorky at this."

"Well, yeah, right?" Audi agreed with Tian.

"What would you like to ask here, what is your purpose for dating Mas Ibra? If you don't break up, yeah, you guys end up getting married, right? Then now what makes you stingy? Didn't you wish you could be the same as Mas Ibra?"

Tian's question just now seemed to hit Audi hard. Audi was silent, not understanding what he was thinking.
