Episode 12 - Misunderstanding
“It can Definitely Dest!”I said encourage myself.
It felt like thinking all night to formalize this theatrical relationship to be more serious made it difficult for me to sleep. Not only was Anggie afraid to refuse, but he was afraid that if he didn't have the same feelings as me, he would leave.
I breathe out, breathe out, breathe out, but it feels like my feelings
unsettled. It feels so nervous!
Although this is not the first time to invite someone to date, but this is the first time I express my true feelings to people I really love, not just limited to being a betting material like before.
I took the little red box I put in my pocket. Inside was a necklace with a pendulum with the letter A. Besides being sweet, this necklace with the name Anggie is also the first jewelry I ever bought for someone.
Slowly but surely the door to Anggie's apartment is starting to show. I stuck my head out a little, to look through the gap of the door that was not tightly closed. I think my heart stopped beating.
It hurts! But I realized it was my fault for letting our relationship hang on for too long. But aren't we very close?
“Desta.” Call Anggie when you see me.
I smiled awkwardly and immediately put the present back in her pants pocket. “Come in.”
Call him again and pull me slowly because he was still standing in front of the door.
We walked towards the living room. The atmosphere here felt strange and made me unable to think. That voice earlier
I heard, coming from the man who was still sitting by holding a bouquet of white roses for Anggie.
The awkwardness still covers me. The longer I've been here, the more it feels like it just pisses me off at myself, angry about delaying too long, disappointed about ending up like this.
“Sorry.” I said breaking the silence between the three of us. “ If I disturb.”
The man in a gray shirt with sunglasses only shook his head and smiled back at Anggie with love, as if he did not want to miss a single moment.
Anggie smiled and pulled me to sit with him.From his face I could guess that he was happy. Is it possible that the man has expressed his feelings and they are already a couple?
“You don't know each other yet.” Anggie said to me.“Desta it's Brian. Brian this Desta.”
“What relationship are you in?” He asked without further ado after we met.
“Ka..”.
“We're just friends.” Cut me off, when Anggie's gonna talk. “And happened to pass by, I stopped by here.”
Continue lying.
“So you guys have known each other for a long time?” Continues probing.
“Sorry. Coincidentally I have other needs.” I replied without caring about Brian's question. “So I have to
pamit first, sorry to ya.”
“Dest.” Call Anggie.
I stopped and turned my body. “Ya?”
“Do not go home first.” His hand was half begging.
“Gie.” Brian said, standing up too. “Desta has an appointment. It's not good you asked him to stay here.” Continue, and take Anggie back to sit down.
“But..”.
“Have Fun.” I said, fake smile.
♥♥♥♥
I still don't understand Desta's attitude towards me last night. It looks so weird! First, it looks more presentable than usual. Second, Desta looked agitated as if he wanted to quickly leave.
Yes, he reasoned to have a promise. But his attitude is still very strange!
“Hhh.” It hurt when he called us friends. Yes, our relationship is just a showgirl, but hasn't she and I done things like a loving couple? What does the kiss she always gives me mean?
It's ridiculous! It's just so good that I'm glad he came to see me yesterday. But at least if Desta thinks I'm a friend, it's good he cut me off and doesn't embarrass me for thinking we're more than just a show.
I parked my car in front of Desta's house. Curious and impatient to know the answer
because of his attitude, I forgot where to start my question.
But the sight I saw made me realize that all the questions I wanted to ask all night were answered. My heart ached, as if my tears wanted to come out to see the woman hugging Desta.
“Stupid!” My meaning to myself who has fallen in love with her. I should have realized that it was indeed his character, playing the heart of a woman.
“Anggie.” Call her.
I turned my body and smiled fakely at him.
“Come in.” Her request.
“Siap” Ask the woman next to Desta full search for me.
“Anggie.”
“Name not, but who are you?”
“Gue..”
“Gie, You tumben here do not tell?” Cut Desta.
“Yes if I told you, I wouldn't know you were close to another girl!” I answered in my heart, because it felt like my curse and annoyance was not worth revealing to someone who considered me just as a friend.
“Erika?”
I'm nodding.
“Newly she's gone. You want to wait?”Ask. “Eh I picked up the phone first.”
“E..”
“Wait! What do you guys have in common? Why talk to me and you?” Cut the woman as if
I don't like our closeness.
“Gue friend Erika, reasonable dong know Desta?” My answer is a little upset.
It hurts so much! Even this hurts more than the feeling of loss I've ever felt before. I wanted to feel like I was crying, but I kept from looking stupid and pathetic in front of Desta.
“Lu really Erika's friend?” Ask as if I still can't believe it. “To know me, Desta and her sister are four years apart. How are you so familiar call her name?”
I kept quiet withstanding my annoyance. It felt like I was clawing, snapping, even kicking an arrogant woman in front of me. But I realized, it wouldn't make Desta think of me as more than just her acting boyfriend.
“Gue go first.”I said indifferently without caring about the question.
"Gie.” Call Desta who has returned from the house. “Where are you?”
“Erika does not exist, so want to go back aja.” Pamitku, without wanting to see Desta.
♥♥♥♥
“Hhh.”
This week has been so long and so painful! Our relationship that was good suddenly became chaotic.
I know everything is my fault, but it's hard for me to hold back from contacting him. Although he never returned my message or picked up my phone again, my heart still seemed to want to hope.
“For how many people sir?” The waiter's question surprised me.
“Table on behalf of Mr Joe Suherman.”
“Good sir. Let me deliver.” The waiter replied friendly. “Pak, this is the order desk of Mr. Joe Suherman.” We arrived at table number 53.
I smiled briefly, before finally realizing the two people before me were Anggie and Brian.
“Des..ta.” Anggie said surprised.
“Hai.” My broom. “What a coincidence you can find here.” I continued insinuating because he never returned my message.
Anggie nodded, smiled, and bowed his face after seeing me, as if he did not want to mince words at all. Hhh, it feels like I'm so stupid still looking and keep calling her, just to
explains this love clapping one hand.
“Lu has known you for a long time, same sir Joe?” Brian asked, breaking the silence between the three of us.
“Bokap. I'm new first time.” My answer. “Lu by yourself?” I turned back as a formality.
“Pretty long. I have a stake in his company, so my family often works together.” Evidently. “If you may know, you know Anggie long ago?” I'm continuing to investigate questions I haven't answered at Anggie's house.
“Lu by yourself?” I asked without answering her question, out of curiosity, since when did Anggie know Brian, he said,
and why didn't I realize there was another man in her heart?
“Udah long. I just got back from America.”
Anggie smiled at me. “Nothing, you helped but I never explained. So I was dating him because of a prank. I'm lonely. I guess by having a partner can make me happy, it is not.”
“Because he cheated?”
Anggie shakes. “Not, because I don't love him. I guess by looking for a girlfriend I can forget someone who used to be very close to me, but not.”
“Someone means guy?” Investigate me for no reason.
“Iya boy. Wh why? Jealousy huh?” Ask teasingly.
“Mana there! Now it's LGBT.” My canda.
“Nak aja!” Laughing reply.
“If you're still in love why break up?” I go back to the topic.
“We never dated Dest, so when he chose to go to America I had no rights whatsoever. Besides, if you say love, I don't know how I really feel.”
I formed the letter O on my lips. As if to realize, Brian was the man Anggie told me about. Maybe their meeting after a long time, made him realize that he actually loved Brian and thought I was just like Evan.
“Ehm. Sorry. I have a sudden business. I'll go home first.”Pamit Anggie to me and Brian.
“Mau accompanied?” Me and Brian together.
Anggie shook his head, and smiled knotfully. “Gue take a taxi aja.”
I nodded in agreement and cursed myself who still foolishly assumed that our relationship was still close.
