Distance (Pursued Hot Duda)
16 I'm Here And You're There
In the early morning, Naya went to Durham. He uses a train that takes 3 hours to get there, because if using a car it can take 5 hours'an from London.
Chiro cries as her mommy leaves. Actually, it's not because Naya doesn't want to say goodbye. He was given this assignment last night by the hospital, because one of the doctors there was bleeding and had to take an impromptu leave of absence.
When Naya returns home, Chiro is already sleeping in Monic's apartment, then she has to leave early in the morning because the distance traveled is quite far and she also has to report first, while Ecan is definitely still sleeping with Erlang.
Dear Ecan,
Mommy's job first to Durham. Forgive mommy who did not have time to say goodbye to Ecan, not because mommy does not love. It's mommy's phone number, we'll have a video call, yeah.
Don't cry, be a good boy and follow daddy's words, yeah.
Love you Kichiro Ercan 💕💕
Chiro read the letter with tears still flowing.
"Daddy, is Chiro naughty? Is Chiro not a good boy?"
"No, Honey. Chiro's a good boy," persuaded Erlang to stop Chiro from crying.
"Yes Chiro. Mommy gets an impromptu task. Aunty Monic will also have to go to York City. As for aunty Zilda tomorrow to Bristol."
Letta is still in London.
Distance from London to York two and a half hours'an if using the train, if using a car approximately four hours'an.
From London to Bristol if using the train is even longer, 2 hours 46 minutes, if using a 2.30 minute sekiatar car.
Indeed, Naya's place of duty is a distance farther than Monic and Zilda.
Just like this, Chiro was already very sad, then what if Naya was assigned to a conflict area?
Erlang immediately shook his head, trying to brush that thought off of him.
"Chiro pray for me, hope your work goes well. Poor thing, that was also mommy Chiro did not have time for breakfast."
"Well, Aunty."
Five hours later Chiro tries to contact Naya, but is not picked up.
"Come, Chiro!"
Erlang directly carried Chiro. They will also return to Jakarta because Erlang has to work, while Marcell also has to return to Samarinda for three months, then he will work in Jakarta.
The distance separated them.
It exists on two different continents, with different times as well.
Chiro looked at the sky from inside the jet. Before he met his mommy, whenever he was on a plane, he always asked which one was under the sky, and which one was on the earth.
Now when he found out, he had to separate again because of work and two hearts that were not united.
Chiro looked down deeply.
"Don't be sad, dear."
"Chiro's still kangen with mommy, Daddy."
Erlang remained silent while stroking his son's hair slowly. He knows how his son feels.
"Daddy don't miss mommy? Did Daddy really forget and not love mommy anymore?"
Erlang did not reply, and that left Chiro disappointed.
Did daddy really start mommy Chiro? the child asked.
Mereja arrived at the airport after a journey of approximately 13.30 minutes without transit,
It is now in Jakarta at 2pm on Thursday, while in London (including Durham and surrounding areas) it is still at 20pm on Wednesday.
👉About 7 hours and Jakarta faster.
The car runs at standard speed. Because it was early morning and the streets were not jammed, in just 40 minutes they had arrived at Erlang's apartment. The others were also picked up by their respective drivers.
Erlang broke down Chiro's body and immediately replaced her clothes.
.

.
"Daddy, Daddy, wake up, Daddy!"
Chiro shook Erlang's body and pinched his cheek.
"Why Chiro, daddy's still sleepy."
"Telp mommy, Daddy!"
Erlang looked at the clock on the wall, still showing it at 7am, meaning it was still 12pm.
"It's still 12 p.m., honey. Mommy must be sleeping."
Chiro looked down listlessly. Not long after Erlang's phone rang, indicating there was a video call from an unknown number, but a number from abroad.
With the face of the pillow Erlang directly lifted it.
Erlang's pillow face faced with Naya's sleepy face. They were silent for a while and observed each other's faces with hearts that were hard to explain.
"Can I talk to Ecan?"
Shiro actually has his own phone, because if Chiro does not come to Erlang's office, he often contacts his favorite son. However, the phone is damaged by being slammed by Shiro while angry at Erlang and Erlang has not bought a new one.
Erlang directly pointed his phone at Chiro, and Chiro leaned on Erlang's shoulder. They talked to the occasional evaporating Naya.
"Mommy sleepy?"
"No, mommy's not sleepy."
Ecan knew her mommy was sleepy, so she felt sorry for the tired mommy but still took the time to contact her.
Without feeling Naya's eyes closed and her head drooped. Erlang still faithfully accompanied Chiro. He and Chiro both sighed heavily when they saw Naya's exhausted face and now sleeping in an uncomfortable position. But what they can do, the long distance does not allow to justify Naya's sleeping position.
Erlang widened his eyes upon hearing Chiro's question. Already he was not invited to participate in the talk of the mother and child, now with his son song even think that he used to be very poor.
"Daddy is never poor, you know!"
"That means daddy's stingy?"
"About!"
.

The next night is Sunday night. Naya is tidying up her stuff. In Durham, he lived in a small flat because it was impossible every day he had to commute to London.
His phone rang, a video call from Ercan.
In Jakarta it is now 19, so in Durham it is still 12 noon.
"Mommy!"
Now they both eat.
Chiro was very happy, as if they were now eating a family meal, but her face immediately changed when she saw what Naya was eating.
If Erlang and Chiro had dinner with a healthy menu, then Naya was having lunch with noodles and eggs.
"Mommy, why is Mommy eating noodles?"
"Yes, mommy doesn't have time to shop for groceries. Want to order food, mommy is hungry. This is also mommy just had time to tidy up mommy's stuff since from London."
"Did Mommy live in Durham?"
"Yes, for a while during Mommy's work here. Already, Ecan eat first, yes!"
Erlang and Chiro looked at each other and both sighed. Seeing what they would eat with what Naya ate made their appetite disappear.
They eat in silence. Naya herself was just having fun with what she ate, no problem for her.
After eating, Chiro still made a video call with Naya and tuned the song that was heard by Naya until Chiro fell asleep.
Hearing the song represents their hearts.
🎵🎵🎵Ringing my phone makes me smile in the morning
You told me last night we met in a dream
I don't know why I feel you here
Your laughter is comforting when I'm alone
I'm here and you're there
Just meeting through the voice
But I waited for the moment we would meet
Even though you're far away now
We look at the same sky
Far in the eyes but close to the heart
The ringing of my phone made me smile in the morning
Your laughter is comforting when I'm alone
I'm here and you're there
Just meeting through the voice
But I waited for the moment we would meet
Even though you're far away now
We look at the same sky
Far in the eyes but close to the heart
I'm here and you're there
Just meeting through the voice
But I waited for the moment we would meet
Even though you're far away now
We look at the same sky
Far in the eyes yet you are close to the heart
Distance and time don't matter
Because you will always be in your heart
Like the heartbeat I carry with me wherever I go
Even though you're far away now
We look at the same sky
Far in the eyes but close to the heart
Close to the heart
Close at heart🎵🎵🎵
