About Taste

Disappointed Again

"Ma, papa where the hell is it?" ask Rena who hasn't seen Tio since she came.

Rena is at her parents' house. Ratna called while Cindy was still in Rena's office. And forced Rena to go home too because Ratna was longing. Rena also agreed her mother's will by going home early. 

Right now Rena and Ratna are sitting in the tv room. Watching Ratna's favorite drama.

"Papa attended the recitation for his granddaughter's walimatul khitan pak Baron" replied mama Ratna without taking her eyes off the tv.

"There will be boxed rice." Cindy came from the kitchen with a snack. Cindy joined her sister and mother in the tv room. 

"You're still a rich kid" cried Rena while taking a snack that Cindy brought.

"Usually kak, the rice box from the study tastes different. So it's better" Cindy said.

"Yes because it's free, so it's good" said Rena.

"Ish. not because it's also kali sis. The sensation is different. Just be careful if you ask for it later," Cindy said. 

"You guys are so noisy, just bother your mom. You don't necessarily get boxed rice." Ratna was upset that the sound of the drama she was watching was going against their voice. 

"Bih mama, just now maksa-maksa kak Rena told to go home. Turn back home in cuekin for the sake of the soap opera lebay," said Cindy sneered.

"It's not so dear, it's just the exclaim," said mama Ratna.

Cindy rolled her eyes lazily. Rena just laughed. "Why are you guys fighting?" ask Rena chuckling.

Chequelek

"Assalamualaik." Tio's voice said hello.

"Waalaikumsalam," they said simultaneously. 

Then Tio emerged from behind the wall that separated between the living room and the tv room. "Eh, there's Rena."

Ratna and her two children kissed Tio Takzim's hand. Tio sat himself next to Rena.

"Yes pa, he said mama misses me very much," said Rena.

"Say the kangen pa. But dicuekin from earlier. Even my mom is watching drama" Cindy said. 

"Ga that's it. Mama said that. This is again exciting" said mama Ratna defend herself but keep focused watching tv. 

"That's papa Ren's angel. Almost every night papa duaakan the same drama," said Papa Tio with a face made-up as hurt.

"What the hell papa likes to overdo. Mama was just watching the drama is no longer the same way guys," said mama Ratna rolled her eyes lazy.

 I laughed at their discussion. 

"O yeah, where's the box rice?" ask Cindy who just realized that her papa did not bring anything.

"Nothing. Mr. Baron is just a ready buffet of nasi uduk," replied papa Tio.

"Well…" 

"Are you not having dinner yet? It's past dinner, you know," said Papa Tio.

"The rich don't know Cindy. Lovers of rice boxes. Even if you have eaten, you will definitely eat again" said mama Ratna.

They were again laughing at the curse of Ratna.

"So I met his sister Rena" said Adrian.

Adrian and Albian are walking home to his apartment.

"Why? You have a crush?" ask Albian smile.

"She's beautiful, but that doesn't mean I can have a crush. Lili's problem isn't really over yet." Adrian sighs in light of his relationship with Lili. The girl was really already so attached to his heart and mind.

"Solve your business with Lili. Do not drag on" said Albian.

Adrian nodded and sighed. "Yes, I'll finish it all. It's the best for her."

"What is your relationship with Rena?" adrian asked to switch the conversation.

Albian turned to Adrian. Then look straight ahead. He seemed silent for a moment. "Right now the most important thing Rena can escape from her trauma. I'll try to keep her company until she's completely out of her trauma."

Adrian embraces Albian's shoulder. "Spirit bro."

Albian nodded and chuckled. He released the embrace of Adrian "You too yes spirit move on."

"Damn you hahaha." said Adrian while pushing Albian's shoulder.

Albian laughed too. 

"It turns out our love fate is equally tragic huh?" adrian said.

"You're a tragic time. I'm not, anyway" said Albian evasive. "And you've been battered," continued Albian laughing and then running away from Adrian's punch.
