The Long Distance Relationship: Worth Every Mile
Chapter 27: Just Friends
That morning Eric had taken a taxi to the airport, he took a fairly early morning flight at 8 o'clock. It's still sixty-thirty. He left early in the morning because he was afraid of traffic jams when he headed to Soekarno Hatta Airport.
*ding*
“Hey there I will be there around 9 okay. can’t wait to see you. See ya soon Eric!” sarah said in the message.
“Heheh.. yeahh!!! Me too. why you woke up so early. Go back to sleep.” reply Eric.
Eric smiled to himself. The taxi driver looked at him from the rearview view of the car. The taxi driver was quite able to speak English.
“Heheh.. Mr. I laughed myself in the morning. Where are you flying to Mr?” the taxi driver was friendly.
“Mau to Yogya Sir. Hehehe”
“Wah... want a vacation what did you meet your boyfriend Mr?” the taxi driver chuckled.
“You vacation sir and meet someone special” Eric replied with a smile.
Along the way, the taxi driver talked to Eric. He turned out to have a brother in Yogya and told him what to do in Yogya and what food or drink to try.
The driver said that there was joss coffee, that is, there was burning charcoal in his glass, from the way the driver told me it seemed to taste steady.
But more important than all that, he can get closer to Sarah. I know the girl better.
No longer an hour's journey is short. It turned out that the morning trip was very smooth not to get stuck at all.
Eric then gave the driver a taxi fare and immediately stepped into the airport.
“ Yogya here I come” inward while stepping in.
\*\*\*
The trip to Yogya by plane was a lot of fun for Eric, the plane was not too full. Although the plane had a delay of approximately twenty minutes. He's been telling Sarah maybe she'll be a little late.
The flight from Jakarta to Yogya was quite short only four recovered five minutes or less, only the problem was that this plane had long landed because the runway at Adisucipto Airport was full. The airport is much smaller than Soekarno Hatta Airport, Sarah had already told him about this otherwise she might have been very upset because of the length of landing and circling above waiting for the landing about fifteen minutes.
After the plane landed perfectly Eric immediately packed his luggage checking in case anyone was left behind. Then, not long the door of the plane opened which means he was allowed to go down, fortunately he was sitting in business class he could get off first.
Eric then took the luggage and stepped out. She saw Sarah waiting for her with a paper bearing her name. Eric was very happy and walked quickly towards him and automatically he hugged the girl. Well, the action was quite interesting the attention of the people around.
“Heheh.. Eric let me go. People are watching..” whispered Sarah slowly.
“Oh. yeah.. sorry” Eric said as he let go of his embrace to the girl.
They then headed to Sarah's car which turned out to have a driver in it. The driver looked friendly, Sarah said his name was Mr. Joko.
They then headed to Sarah's house, along the way Eric really enjoyed the view of Yogya street food that is very different from Jakarta.
“Mmm.. Sarah. Later tonight if you accompany me try joss” coffee
“Hah?! Haha. Really? Any idea where you're from? Don't you like the five feet? Mr. Super Clean” Sarah's.
“Yeaah.. was a taxi driver in Jakarta who said. Please..?”
“Sure.. okay whatever you want Mr.” replied Sarah with a big laugh.
\*\*\*
Sarah's house is so big, she sleeps in Sarah's sister's room. Why not in the guest room? Well, because Sarah's sister prefers her old room over her new one in the house. The house building consists of old and new buildings that are joined by a small bridge between the two houses.
“But guess what Hugo, I will spend more time with her!” inner Eric.
\*\*\*
That afternoon until that night, they went around Yogya. Eric likes Malioboro Street. They walked along the road, until he saw a Dutch fortress.
His name is the Vredeburg Fort Museum, tomorrow he and Sarah will be there. Eric is always interested in things that smell of history. They are also photographs along Malioboro Street. Eric was also amazed by the state palaces and buildings along the road that still had colonial architecture, but more than that he was very happy to spend time with Sarah.
That night Eric tried joss coffee, the taste was steady, the taxi driver was not lying apparently. They were walking alone, Eric was driving that night.
“Wanna go to club or bar?” chirp Sarah slowly.
“Yeah... sure.” says Eric hesitate.
“Why go there?” ask Eric.
“I just feel like it. If you do not want yes no papa.” replied Sarah again.
“Well, I want to. Show dong the way” replied Eric with a smile.
\*\*\*
About forty minutes later they arrived at one of the clubs. The club looked quite crowded that night there was a guest DJ from Australia.
They both enjoyed the atmosphere very much, did not drink much alcohol just two bottles of medium each, the rest ordered coca-cola or juice.
Eric looked at Sarah who enjoyed the music, song, and atmosphere of the night. It was the song that DJ played. At the moment no matter how much interest Eric has in him, he's just a friend.
I found out the way to your heart
Then found myself completely lost
Whatever, it doesn't matter, we fine
I don't need to label how we good time
And we don't need to tell nobody, we ride
'Cause ****it, we're young, it's just fun
It started off just a touch
Innocent like friends, like friends
Yeah, wake up here tired, horizontal
We just friends, just friends
Maybe one drink, nothing too far gone (too far)
Is it the stars saying fall in love? No
We don't say much as we lay here
We just friends, just friends 🎶
The song “Just Friends” from Hayden James and Boy Matthew is successful in making Eric behave a little pessimistic will get this girl more than friends, because whatever the size of his current business “he is just her friend”.
