Not a Substitute

B3 Drive To Destination

It was already noon by the time Violet woke up.

“You want tea or coffee?” asked Agus who woke up first from Violet.

“Teh,” replied Violet.

Agus put one tea sachet into the mug and then put hot water from the electric kettle. He gave the sugar and stirred it and gave it to Violet.

“Thank you.” Violet had never felt this kind of treatment from her former future husband. She was always in the position of serving her ex-husband.

Warm ... Violet sipped a warm tea made by Agus. “Tehnya delicious. This is because the tea is good or because that makes the tea good?”

The praise from Violet made Agus smile and Agus' sweet smile made Violet's heart thump a little.

The smile of Agus made me melt.

Shortly after, the food arrived.

“Room service.” Hotel waiters brought trolleys with food for them to eat.

“Mas who ordered the meal?” Violet was afraid that the price of food in the hotel was expensive. He was actually planning to eat out to save money.

“This includes from room rental,” said Agus.

Violet sees so many variations of food especially dessert. “Is this right including room rental? Does the hotel have nothing to lose?”

“Say we were visitors to a thousand of them so we can free food bonus during stay here,” replied Agus who is just an excuse or can be called a lie and Violet believe.

The hungry Violet immediately picked up the plate and started eating. “Mas should also eat. After eating we go for a walk.” Violet said while still chewing her food.

“Huk ... Hukh ..” Violet chokes.

Agus brought me a drink. He patted Violet's back lightly. “Eat first new talk.”

Violet walked beside Agus. But he saw the hotel attendant bowing his body to them. “They are polite once.” Violet whispers.

Somehow Violet felt the hotel attendant had so much respect for her and Agus. Maybe the level of courtesy at this hotel is so high. Alleged Violet.

Violet and Agus started walking to the front of the hotel. They are already greeted with a hotel car that will take them anywhere during the trip.

“Cumerous hotel cars. I can't afford it" whispered Violet.

“It is included in the room ticket. We do not have to pay,” said Agus again.

“Pak Agus ... Please you and your wife ride.” The hotel driver even opened the car door for them.

“Kok the driver knows your name?” ask Violet.

“His father knows from the guest list,” replied Agus. It seemed that Agus indeed had all the answers to Violet's question.

When I was in the car.

“Mistress, where are we going?” ask driver.

“Father can call me Violet. Vivi can too. I feel uncomfortable being called Madam.”

“I'm sorry Mistress. I'll have to call you Mistress.” The driver couldn't possibly call Violet by name alone. That's very disrespectful.

“I want to go to place T. Do you know where it is?” Violet told him her first goal.

“I know I go there often to take Mr. Agus.” The driver immediately corrected. “I often deliver hotel guests there.”

The car drove to its destination.
