Between Asa And Taste

So then?

"Can Papa come in?" asked Mr. Felix when Rian's bedroom door opened.

"Eh Papa, come in. Pah." Rian got up and sat down on the sofa.

Mr. Felix sat down next to Rian.

"You're okay, right?" ask Mr. Felix.

"I'm good Pah," replied Rian.

There's no need to hide anything, Mr. Felix will definitely know about him. As of now though Rian had already replied if he was okay, but Mr. Felix asked Rian to be calm.

"Why did you hear Mama Helen's words?" rian asked in surprise.

"Papa was offended. But Papa thinks he just doesn't know who Maudi really is. Papa is sure that you know very well who Maudi is and how crafty the woman is" Felix said.

Rian swallowed his saliva so hard. He really felt very confused. Why it should always be about Maudi. How can he forget about Maudi that almost every day the discussion about Maudi never stops.

"Papa hope you understand that Papa never taught you anything bad. Although Papa is not a good person, but Papa wants Papa's child to grow into a good person. And Papa knows you are a good man, Mr. Felix said.

Rian immediately hugged Tuaj Felix.

"Papa has always been the best for me. Never think that Papa is not good" said Rian.

Mia who saw the incident felt pain. Why is he suddenly jealous to see Mr. Felix's closeness with Rian. Especially during his time in Indonesia, Mr. Felix was so attentive to Rian.

"Sister Mia," called Rian as he let go of Mr. Felix's embrace.

"Mia?" asked Mr. Felix while turning his body, to see Mia's whereabouts.

"Why did Mia leave?" ask Rian.

Mr. Felix did not answer Rian's question. He was only confused when he could not see Mia's presence there.

"Let Papa follow Mia" said Mr. Felix.

"Don't Pah. Let Mia alone. Later let me meet Brother Mia," prevent Rian.

Rian already felt that Mia's anger was because of him. He did not want Mr. Felix to be hurt again just because of his actions. Rian intends to meet Mia and talk together. Open to each other so that there is no misunderstanding between them.

"Yes Papa went to the room first!" said Mr. Felix.

After Mr. Felix came out of his room, Rian stood in front of the mirror. He looked down and breathed a lot of air. Trying to fill his lungs with a lot of oxygen to still be able to think clearly.

Lately Rian feels that he has a lot of burdens in life. He was still twenty years old. He felt his age was not worth the burden he had to go through.

Nah! Instantly Rian tried to brush off his bad thoughts. He was just not grateful for what he had gained in his life. Have a new family that really cares and loves him. Even he thought that if his real father still existed, he would not necessarily be as lucky as this time.

Rian steeled himself and found Mia. The woman he had always considered his older brother was sitting in the back garden.

"Sister Mia," call Rian.

Mia did not answer. He looked around and finally threw his face away.

"Sister, am I wrong again, brother?" asked Rian gently.

Rian ventured to sit next to Mia. Although Mia did not respond, Rian still tried to talk to Mia.

"I shouldn't be jealous like this. Maybe I'm just making a tape. Forget it, " said Mia.

Mia stood up and tried to avoid. Rian held Mia's hand. He spoke softly. Try as patiently as possible to confront Mia.

"I'm sorry. I'll be back in Germany soon. Finished my studies and realized my ideals. Maybe one day I will be busy and will not have time with Papa and the others" said Rian.

Mia felt slapped with Rian's words. Maybe because Mia's feelings are not good, she even offended by Rian's words.

"So you mean, I don't have time for Papa and the others? That so?" asked Mia in a high tone.

"Already Rian. Just admit. You can take the heart of Papa and Mama. Mama even cares so much about your relationship with that obscure woman" Mia said.

Rian was sick when he heard Maudi being referred to as an obscure woman. How could Mia possibly touch the woman she loved the most.

"Darling, let's go to bed! Rian, you also rest!" said Dion.

Luckily, Dion was there at the right time. So that Rian can still control his emotions. Rian nodded and followed in Dion and Mia's footsteps to leave the garden behind.

"Why are you Mi?" dion asked as Dion's door closed.

"I'm fine A" replied Mia.

"Mia, it's not like you. Since when are you jealous of Rian again? Didn't you yourself say that Rian you already considered your own younger brother?" dion reminded me.

Mia fell silent. It was true, Mia herself said that sentence to Dion. But at the moment he is upset when he hears Mr. Felix and Rian are going home in a few days.

Seeing Mr. Felix and Mrs Helen who were so concerned with Rian, he suddenly felt that Rian had taken all of it. He felt his love for her was divided.

That certainly makes Mia careless. Why Rian must pull so fast, even though the holiday time is still quite long. Although he was trying to shake his bad thoughts. But Mia can't control herself when she sees Rian and Mr. Felix telling a story together.

"You must remember, that Rian already has no one but us. You don't have to be jealous of him. Even if Mama and Papa Felix think you love Rian more, it's because they know you have me. There I am" said Dion.

In the end Mia herself felt guilty by her exaggerated attitude towards Rian. Mia moves out of bed to apologize to Rian, but Dion holds her back.

"You just rest. We'll talk after everything's okay. Now, you guys just calm down." Dion rubbed Mia's head and kissed her.

Dion accompanied Mia to sleep. After confirming that his wife had fallen asleep, Dion left Mia. She felt bad for Rian.

"Rian, are you asleep?" dion asked, knocking on the door.

"Not Brother," replied Rian as he opened the door of his room.

"May I speak?" ask Dion.

"About Mia's sister? Is he still mad at me?" rian asked with a load.

"I can come in? We'll just talk inside" Dion said.

"Oh yes of course. Come on, come on in, brother," asked Rian.

Dion's in. He asked Rian to sit in front of him. Dion stared fixedly at Rian who was still lowered.

"On behalf of my wife, I'm sorry." Dion started his language.

Rian immediately raised his face.

"Sister Mia is not wrong," Rian replied quickly.

"Thank you for growing up to be a kind and loving person to all of us" Dion said.

First, Dion recounts his admiration for Rian. From the attitude and speech he said, to the academic achievements he achieved, Dion appreciated very well.

"Silver exaggeration. I am so because I was educated in this family. If only I hadn't met this family, I wouldn't have been so lucky." Humblely Rian turned Dion's praise around.

After much stale talk, Dion finally talked about Maudi. He reminded Rian, as a man he should be responsible. Not only about feelings, but he must be responsible about the morale of his partner. Being financially responsible is also very important.

"So?" ask Rian.

"Yes" Dion replied, nodding his head.

"Aren't you supporting me with Maudi?" rian asked reassuringly.

"Why not," Dion replied casually.

Rian looked at Dion in disbelief. Of all the people who opposed his relationship with Maudi, only Dion supported him. Though Dion knew how Maudi's true attitude. Not like Miss Helen who doesn't really know the nature of Maudi.
