Beep, beep, beep, beep , the phone rings.
The wife Cynthia picks up the call : Hi !
The husband named John: Where are you?
Cynthia : Hmmmm at home, listening to music.
John : Why don't you go to watch Lion dance or go to watch Gurney Drive tonight?
Cynthia : I am not interested,. Besides it is too crowded and pack. I cannot stay in crowded place, that makes me lonely. Lonely in a crowd.
John: Why don't you called your friend Celia to go with you then?
Cynthia : Celia has her own companion.
John : Why don't you ask somebody else to go with you?
Cynthia : Oh no, no, everybody else are dead or not yet borned.
John : You should be going to to Gurney Drive to watch people throw oranges. Enjoy the ambience
Cynthia : What the fuck, wasted orange, better throw to my stomach or at least to you.
John : Aiyo, you bullshit queen.
Cynthia : Not bullshit, sincere honest answer. You knew I have been watching this parade or ritual so many times before and I am bored seeing them again.
John is unable to take Cynthia out tonight because John has been posted to work in another country by his company.
* P.S. Inspired by the so many times talked about throwing oranges to the sea by so many people. The conversation didn't take place actually. Just a work of fiction.
