TIME (For A Taste )
THE CHAPTER 30

Happy reading..

***

Dubrovnik, Croatia...

About thirty-two hours ago, Reiji had arrived in a crescent-shaped country in Europe.

Reiji landed the plane he was driving with a co-pilot beside him at the airport of the country named Croatia safely and smoothly without any obstacles.

Then Reiji was immediately escorted to the hotel where the airline crew who sheltered Reiji was staying.

After arriving at his room, Reiji immediately rested himself after cleaning himself and changing clothes.

****

At six in the morning Croatian time, when Reiji began to blink his eyes.

Reiji rubbed the corner of his eyes after his consciousness began to appear.

Then he picked up his watch which he put next to the hotel bedstead as he was about to go clean himself up.

“Aish, I forgot balikin hape mode,” muttered Reiji as he was thinking about what time it is now in Indonesia.

Reiji got out of bed to pick up the phone he had kept in his pants pocket during the flight.

“Haiyya! Fajr first ah meningan.”

Reiji muttered again for a moment he was going to take the pants he was wearing yesterday.

“Eh, but can still ga this dawn time?”

Reiji muttered again.

“Ah, it's still dark outside...”.

Again Reiji spoke for himself.

“Body aja ah ah. From engga”

**

After performing his obligatory service, Reiji took his cell phone in the pocket of his trousers that he wore with his great uniform yesterday. Then he returned his phone mode to normal mode in order to receive calls and messages that entered his phone.

But a moment later Reiji snorted and clicked his tongue. Because he forgot to activate the international roaming package on his phone that he brought from Indonesia.

“Forced I have to buy this local provider card anyway!” Reiji grumbled to himself. “Cause Lia sih.”

Reiji smiled amusedly.

“Ah for Lia.”

Reiji grabbed the phone plane in his hotel room.

Then talk to the hotel receptionist and let him know if he wants to make an international call.

**

Meanwhile in Indonesia..

For some reason today Malia often glances at her watch. In addition to often also see the phone, even though there is no notification that reads.

Sometimes he sees news on the internet on his computer.

‘Emang flight to Croatia how many hours anyway?’ Inner Malia wondered as she looked at her computer screen.

Somehow Malia felt a little uneasy because Reiji had not contacted her yet. It was a day, and now it was almost noon.

Malia has not heard from Reiji.

‘Si Avi again busy ga yes?.’

Malia grabbed her cell phone again, which she had put on her desk.

Then Malia opened the messaging application and opened a chat message where the name Avi perched there. And often Avi's contacts are in the top row of chat apps in Malia's phone.

Because there are only two friends that discuss, when they are free and not in the same place.

Vi. (Malia ).

Uy. ( Avi ).

Busy huh?. (Malia ).

Reluctant. Naposeh?. ( Avi ).

I'm calling ya?. (Malia ).

*Ncoggyy**. ( Avi ).*

MALIA

My heart calmed down a little after contacting Avi a while ago and asking about Reiji. Although I ended up getting booed from Avi, about my concerns for Reiji. Avi said I think I have the same taste Reiji.

What flavor?. Candy kali ah. My man named Reiji who he said he wanted to call when he was in Croatia, but he had two days ago told me nothing. Yes naturally dong, if I feel a little restless?. Even though I don't know why I'm so upset like this.

‘God willing, Bang Rei ga why-why .. After I went from Bali to Croatia it was about thirty-two hours. So maybe fitting until Bang Rei directly sleep.’

That's what Avi told me, when she spoke on the phone with me earlier.

Continue to say Avi is also the same time difference here is about five hours and time in Indo faster.

‘Also if there is news about the plane why-why must have been in the news tivi, Nek.’

‘Udah you relax. God willing, Bang Rei selamet. He will surely call you if he promises so. So you calm down.’

Hearing Avi's words I can also feel calm.

Although the last Avi said,

‘Quiet Li, my brother is loyal to his man.’

‘Ga doyan pajan apem milk.'

And I understand what the meaning of the milk that the Avi just said.

'Cowok bae-bae kok that Bang Rei, caya deh. If you're worried about Bang Rei ga bobo alone there.’

Did you really review Avi all that way?.

‘Apaan hell lo!’

Immediately I interrupted the Avi's speech, but it was a girl who laughed without morals.

But at least, well, I can start focusing on my work on the ke-pending gegara thinking of the Reiji who told me.

Let's not say Reiji was just talking about yesterday, about him who will contact me when he arrives in Croatia. And why am I so nervous and waiting for a call from him like this try?.

Why did Reiji have to report to me when he left for work?. Why is it so ordinary. Fly without report. Later back to Indo yes if you want to meet stay at home.

Why does he have to promise to call, and why do I seem to be waiting for a call from Reiji who just told you if he was already in the destination country?.

It should be normal, considering that Reiji and I are also not a couple who are united due to love and intensely communicate three times a day at meal time.

It should be ordinary. Reiji doesn't have to be the girlfriend who reports to his girlfriend, and I don't have to wait around for her phone gini. Be my own right now.

So mengedumel in the heart while doing work.

Until my phone on the table vibrated and an unknown number was on the screen.

A number that looks foreign, but I take it for granted.

I'm the type of person who always ignores the numbers in the middle of nowhere that go into my phone.

And the voice that sounded as I shifted the green button of my phone, made me raise the corner of my lips.

“Assalamu’alaikum, prospective wife”

Nelpon also finally this prospective husband.

MALIA

It was just a small talk that I talked to Reiji about after he asked me what I was doing.

I gave Reiji a code to immediately disconnect the phone he made from the hotel where he was staying.

Not what, dear money if it is made a lot just for international phone costs?.

“When to return?”

I actually wanted to make my final sentence to end the phone after Reiji answered my question.

But instead of a sure answer, I get a definite answer,

“Why?, you miss me huh?.....”

Even Reiji said so. What try?.

“Idih, pe-de!..”

And that answer that then slid off my lips.

Samar, I heard Reiji's amused grunt from a phone call.

“So ga kangen nih?”

Then Reiji said again.

The words in the form of crisp questions in my opinion.

“Regularly tuh”

Answer me quickly.

“Kalo so I miss alone dong huh? ...“

I can't help it if I say I don't understand what Reiji said.

Where Reiji's tone of voice sounded like he wasn't teasing me.

Next what Reiji said,

“Because I do missing you already Malia.(.Because, I feel, already miss you, Malia).

And my tongue seemed stiff, when I heard that sentence.
