Episode 18 - Prestigious
I stared at the sky which quickly turned dark in the sign that the rain was about to fall. My head still feels dizzy, I don't know with myself who can stupidly get drunk and go to Anggie's place.
“Hhh.” What's wrong with me, all this time I've never drunk. But the pain made me feel like I was losing my mind!
I opened the piano that had been untouched for a long time by me, even just sitting quietly here made me immediately remember spending time together laughing with him.
“If you ever leave me, baby.” My chants follow the tune of the song I'm playing.
“Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medicine
To realize what we used to have
We don't have it anymore
There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacred I'm getting
Will keep you by my side
And keep you from walkin' out the door
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it'll rain, rain, rain
I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooo if I was in their shoes, I'd be doin' the same thing
Sayin' there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that trouble some guy
But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooo but little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yea for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain
Oh don't just say, goodbye
Don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right
Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
And there'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it'll rain, rain, rain.”

“Anggie.” Sapa Gio's. “Owny? Oh yes, know. This is my friend Desta. We're one campus time in Aussie.” Jalas Gio asked me to shake hands with Desta.
I'm nodding. “Anggie.” I said awkwardly.
“Do not enter the heart of Gie! She is always cold as a woman, but to my surprise, a lot of who like her.” Gio was clearly laughing.
I smiled at a sign of understanding. But can not lie that suddenly the calm atmosphere spent alone turned awkward like this.
If people say the world is very narrow, I will agree with that opinion. How not, Gio is a good friend of my cousin Jericko and it turns out he is friends with Desta. Amazingly, we were able to accidentally meet like this.
“Cosong Gie?” Tanya Gio looked at the crowded surroundings.
I'm nodding. “Sit here is okay.”
“Bby?” Tanya Desta made sure.
I nodded permitting. Even if I didn't see him, being around him like this made me come back to hope for the impossible. “Hhh.”
“How are you doing Jericko?”
“Good. I just got back from Bandung. Now he is again busy with the preparation for the birth of his first child.”
Answer Gio. “Lu itself when is Jericko?”
I tried to laugh in response to Gio's question. “Dating just don't have, how do you want to follow?”
“Can be Brian.” Cut Desta.
“She has said that our relationship is not yet official.” I said reminding her of our meeting at the sushi place. “Different from you and Erine who have gone public.” Next insinuate.
“Erine it...”
“Erine?” Cut Gio. “Which woman is Dest? A new? Beautiful?”
“Beauty. Model.” Obviously I'm with Gio, replacing Desta.
Gio rounded his lips. “Oh Yes Gie. Are you close with Brian?” Ask confused.“It's not like you guys haven't been in touch for a long time.”
“Brian returns to Indonesia, for Anggie.” Obviously Desta replaced me.
Gio fell silent and became misbehaved. Whether he realized it or not that me and Desta knew each other. I also
I was embarrassed because I unconsciously showed my jealousy. Even if time has passed for a year, but the affection for him can never be reduced.
“You're happy with Brian?” Ask Desta.
I nodded, lying. Even though Brian is good and always there for me. But the happy feeling I always felt when I was with Desta I couldn't feel when I was with Brian. Feels different. Tasteless. “She is good and never gives empty hope.” My insinuation.

After the meeting that ended with me leaving without saying goodbye to Gio, Gio contacted me
to meet both. I also agreed, because it felt bad to just leave it yesterday.
“A long time Gie?” Sapa Gio's.
I'm shaking. “Why Gi, would you like to meet both? Kangen?” Candaku.
Gio laughs. “Lunny you! My wife's son at home how?”
I laughed back at her reaction.
“Gie. You know Desta?”
“Eh!” I said surprised that he didn't think he was asking about this. “Why Gi?”
“Iya strange aja atmosphere yesterday, not like two people who just knew.”
I nodded in a silly laugh considering how I met Desta yesterday. “Gue knows him.”
“Pagi. Order what kak?” Cut the coffee shop waiter.
“Moccalatte.” Answer Gio.
“Welcome to order kak.”
“Back again.” Said Gio. “Terus why you guys don't know each other so.”
“Long Gi the story!”
“Nothing time I much to hear complaints lu.”
I laughed at Gio's curious enthusiasm. Slowly I told her how our stories got to know each other, how the agreement became her boyfriend, and the events that had been passed together until she finally moved away.
“Desta never shot you?”
I laugh. “Ngapain? We're just playing Gi.”
“Emang you don't want him to talk to you?”
I'm speechless. I don't know why it felt like Gio from earlier seemed to guess what was on my mind. “Gio, you why be a gini detective?” Candaku, switch the conversation.
"It's funny to see you two.”
“Funny?” I was confused not understanding what it meant. "Funny how to try?"
“Gie. Gie.” The reply chuckled amusedly. “Iya yesterday I asked the same thing, same Desta. From there I know your true feelings. Duh young people today yes a lot of prestige.”
“Gue don't understand Gi what you mean.”
Gio laughed again. “Sometimes when you can be honest with yourself each must find the answer.”
