Vanessa Elvia

Weekends

Vannesa was on the balcony of the apartment, with lots of LED screens flashing through the night without feeling tired. Vannesa looked down at the vehicle that was incessantly making noise, making the dark night atmosphere become colored.

But unfortunately, among the colors Vannesa can only see black. He thinks everything is dark, like his life that he used to take the lives of people Vannesa didn't know before.

The longer Vannesa became more and more opium to see the beauty of the night sky, without him realizing the rain fell on the earth, Vannesa still did not move from his place. Always standing while closing his eyes enjoying the splash of water that began to wet him.

Vannesa smiled, she decided to leave the balcony. And without realizing it, Vannesa had been noticed by someone.

Vannesa broke her body down, ready to sleep. Hope Vannesa gets the good days ahead of her.

Bigantara Mansion

Rio looked at the ceiling of his room. He recalled the incident before returning to the house. He saw the doll he bought with money from his hard work first. The doll is still well stored in her glass display case.

Rio's room door creaked softly, revealing the figure of a middle-aged woman carrying a tray containing Rio's favorite strawberry juice.

"Darling, you bring your favorite juice." The middle-aged woman smiled, even though her age was no longer young but did not make her beauty fade.

"Thank you, put it on the table, ma." Even though Rio wanted to hug his mother but he brushed off, even his own mother could not get close to Rio. His mother breathed, clearly visible from the tears of her disappointed face, but she kept smiling.

"Is there a problem?"

"Can Rio fall in love?"

The question that came out of Rio's mouth made his mother surprised.

"How could it be, how does it feel? Is there anything Rio likes?"

"don't know. What's it like to fall in love?"

"taste yeah? Maybe you feel he is different from the others, keep thinking about him often, if you see him near other guys Rio jealous. Does it exist?"

"It looks like it." Rio smiled sweetly, Rio's mother who saw her son smiling came along happily, the first time for the mother to see her youngest child smiling at her.

"Why is my mother unknown? Bring home dong mama would want acquaintance."

"Unfortunately not Rio's boyfriend."

"Yaudah, sleep first, son. Tomorrow's a day off, play at her house to get her back."

His mother came out with the tray he had brought. He smiled behind the door, happy that his youngest son finally liked a woman.

Vannesa woke up early enough to make a snack, it was done because Hera would come to play.

Vannesa makes macarons, fruit salads and also orange juice. Vannesa smiled at the results of her own hard work. After everything was done, he took a shower.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door, Vannesa who had finished her bath opened the door. Hera was seen in front of the door of her apartment.

"Waahhh my dear Vannesa." Hera looked very excited to see Vannesa. They come in and talk inside.

"I don't think you're living in a rich man's place now." Hera took one sofa pillow and hugged it.

"Hais what are you talking about. How are you?"

"Hahaha, I'm good. Sangaatt's good."

Vanessa smiled, putting down the drinks and food she had made.

"Well, you're really good at cooking, I'll try it."

"Just try it."

Hera took the macaron and ate it. Then drink the orange juice that he poured himself into his glass.

"It's delicious Vann, it's true you're good at cooking."

"Have you spoken like that this food will not run out soon."

"Hahaha you're right. Em you promised to tell me your story with the CEO."

Hera nudged Vannesa on the shoulder, while Vannesa kept quiet and enjoyed her meal.

"Yolaahhh." Urge Hera.

"Judah yes, I don't know why Mr. Rio can be close to me, but it's still the same as not being able to get close to other women. And about him saying I'm his girl that's not true either. We had a show at that time at the mall so just carry on."

In a moment later Vannesa only listened to the chattering of Hera which was not ceaseless, starting from the matter of work to discuss things that are not clear at all.

"Hera you're not hungry? I'm cooking food for you." Vannesa's Bargain to Hera.

"Oh no no, it's true you have to take me. Let's cook." Hera walked towards the kitchen ahead of Vanessa.

"What are we cooking, Vann?"

"How about sweet spicy chicken and fried tofu tempeh?"

Hera gawked at the cuisine they were going to cook at this moment.

"Wahh you're still holding fast to the village food huh sob, let's cook. I haven't eaten tofu and tempeh this long."

"Whatever I come from Hera village, so eating ya is just simple."

Hera laughed as she washed the chicken to be cooked. Vanesa prepared the season.

20 Minutes later their food was ripe, they put the dishes on the dinner table and prepared to eat.

Tok tok tok tok

"It's interrupting our lunch time. Vann who's your guest this time?" Hera grumbled as they delayed her meal time.

"I don't know, maybe my friend." Vannesa opened the door.

"Haloo Vannesa, look who am I coming with?" It was Key, and he came along with Rio.

"Oh Key and Rio? Come on in. We just happened to be having lunch."

Rio and Key looked at each other, the article said Vannesa our words. That means there's someone else inside besides Vanessa.

"You said 'we'? Who are you inside with?"

"Hey that's why let's go masuukk." Key and Rio look curious with Vannesa's guest.

"Eh you?" Key squinted his eyes looking like he was remembering that person.

"Eh, Mr Key, Mr Rio? Yes I am Hera hehehe Vannesa's friend." Hera stuttered slightly in surprise at their sudden arrival and she was without any preparation.

"Oh yes you are Hera, I forgot. Don't worry, I'm not your boss." Key deliberately emphasized the word boss to Hera.

"Let's eat, cold hunter." Vannesa headed to the dining table followed by the others.

Mading-each took the rice and side dishes, and began to eat solemnly.

"Who's cooking?" Key sees Vannesa and Hera alternating.

"Me and Vannesa, but Vannesa's roof made it." Saut Hera while drinking.

"It's delicious, I want to take it again."

"Take the Key, which is a lot." Vanessa laughed crisply, they joked and praised the dish. But not Rio, he ate in silence, only the sound of fork and spoon was heard.

"Rio is not delicious?" Vannesa looked towards Rio who was silent earlier.

"It's delicious." Her reply was cold, Vannesa smiled at Rio's reply.

"Where are you two going after you eat?"

"Emm don't know."

"We're going to the waterfront? There when the afternoon is beautiful."

"I agree! Oops sorry." Hera grinned, so her spirit was hysterical.

"I'll just go with you."

"We're all right there." Key held up the glass in his hand and drank it.

"What about Rio?" Hera was worried, what if she disagreed.

Rio had not had time to answer, that question was already answered by Key first. "He agreed, but yes because we both brought cars so I'll have one car with Hera and Rio will one car with Vannesa how?"

Rio choked on the drinking water that had just entered his throat. While Hera was afraid that she would get angry because of that.

"I'll just obey." Hera was surprised by Rio's reply. 'Eh? She agreed? Gosh, it really makes my guts squeak.' Hera murmured in his heart. Hera glanced at Vannesa in silence, she looked not surprised at all by Rio's answer, so Hera concluded that Vannesa was already immune to this Rio.
