Water over Oil
Jakarta, 2004
At the luxury restaurant of the five-star hotel, a waiter approached the table to fix the dishes that were no longer touched by the couple sitting there.
"May I lift, sir?" ask the waiter politely.
"Please" answered Erlangga briefly. The waiter picked up a plate near Erlangga.
"This one I can lift, ma'am?" the waiter asked while pointing at the plate near Vanessa. No answer from Vanessa, he did not want to distract from his phone, sometimes he laughed himself.
"Let's go, Mas" replied Erlangga.
"Okay sir, thank you" said the waiter.
After the waiter left them, the atmosphere at the table returned very quiet, no chatter came out of the couple, although they rarely met.
Vanessa prefers to be busy with her phone rather than responding to the theme of Erlangga's discussion that is too heavy for her, while Erlangga also prefers to keep quiet observing the surroundings rather than responding to Vanessa's discussion theme that is too trivial for her, around the trivial issue of spoiled children who are exaggerated. A female friend of Vanessa, Si A is enraged by a Vanessa boy friend, Si B, simply because he cannot take a vacation to Bali, A and B are a couple. Finally Si A still go to Bali, but with other men, so that makes Si B escape his problems with drunkenness in the bar. Of course this is not an interesting discussion for Erlangga, especially Vanessa forced Erlangga to come to the bar to entertain her best friend Si B. Erlangga's answer made Vanessa never again tell me, Si A cheap woman, Si B weak man, no point to discuss let alone engage in affairs***** that.
Erlangga looked at the seconds hand on his watch that felt very slow moving, he was very tired of watching happy people at other tables around this restaurant, he finally spoke up, "who are you SMS-an the same?"
Vanessa replied with eyes that remained attached to her phone. "Oh, this is honey. Mr. Tio, the official, he was flirtatious as it turned out! Though already old bangka, already have a grandson, but woo me continue."
Vanessa still replied to the SMS with a smile.
"Continue you ladenin?" ask Erlangga.
"Once the appeal is really tacky, very funny, so I do my work," said Vanessa without seeing Erlangga whose face looks angry.
"You are as flirtatious as he is" said Erlangga coldly.
Vanessa was upset, she looked at Erlangga's face and slammed her phone against the table so hard that people near them were shocked and looked at them.
"Anj! What did you say?" snapped Vanessa.
They are now a spectacle. Erlangga was silent but her eyes were staring at Vanessa sharply.
"SURVY!" vanessa's snapping is getting louder. People started whispering about them
"I send SMS messages so I'm not bored! Let you know, you're a nebocene! The relationship he wants in public places continues! Holy hush!” Vanessa was raving without caring about the people around her.
Erlangga did not serve, he waved his hand, calling the waiter to pay immediately.
Vanessa suddenly realized, it turns out that the strategy of rampage is not working for this man. When the waiter came, Vanessa pointed her finger at the waiter to let him back away, taking a deep breath to dampen his emotions, Vanessa looked at Erlangga with a face made sad.
"Cocon't you get angry?" vanessa asked quietly, she turned soft.
"I'm sorry honey, if you don't like me SMS the same other men, it means you do love me," said Vanessa while putting on a voice and a very sad face.
"Honey, I'm your wife-to-be, can you let me cry?" vanessa asked, standing up and struggling with tears.
"What am I supposed to do?" vanessa asked, finally she managed to drop a tear on her cheek.
Erlangga looked at Vanessa with a stern look, "I'll drive you home."
"Yes, yes, as long as you don't get angry continue with me," said Vanessa with a smile, she wanted to grab Erlangga's arm, but Erlangga immediately moved away to the waiter.
In the car, Erlangga drove without speaking, Vanessa also kept quiet because not a word was responded to Erlangga. To overcome her boredom down the traffic jam, Vanessa turned on the radio, apparently only took a moment to forget about the problem, like nothing happened, Vanessa sang and swayed to the song played on her chosen radio. Mental Illness, murmured Erlangga.
Erlangga remained silent but his mind turned out to drift far to Widi, he reminisced about the night with Widi where he felt very comfortable and happy. Suddenly Erlangga got an SMS, he read it.
SMS From: Soffie

Erlangga smiled, Soffie how do I know my relationship with Vanessa?

Al Kahfi Land, Depok, 2004
Tonight Widi was in the office as usual, he opened a website chat cross-time, apparently appeared an offline message from Uge.
^(OFFLINE) Widi sorry, I have to go to Jakarta today, probably will be there about a week with the financier Al Kahfi Land. Greetings kangen and doain me yes!^
Well, Uge's gone a week! widi gumam.
Widi doesn't know what to do to kill a lonely night in the office without Uge, she instantly turns off her computer and lights her room to go home.
From this evening until Uge came home, Widi no longer had any interest in lingering in the office until night, so the bright room across from Kotak House would be dark at night, for a while he wanted to stay at Aunt Lina's house.
