Between Asa And Taste

Secrecy

The second day and so on made Rian busy with work piling up. Especially when the company began to receive cooperation from several partners. Although not a large company, but this is the first step that will make their company grow rapidly.

"Still in spirit sir?" ask Manto with his signature song.

"Spirited sir" replied Rian.

His lips are smiling. But his tone was very weak. Manto knows that Rian is already exhausted with a schedule that is getting denser every day. In fact, it is not uncommon for Rian to have to overtime until night.

Seeing the state of Rian who began to lose energy, Manto always gave motivation to his superiors. He always described the expectations of everyone who wanted to be in the position of Rian at this time. It also reminded Rian of his ideals.

"Which name fights there will definitely be one that is sacrificed sir. It's commonplace," said Manto.

Yep. Rian experienced that. He fought for his company desperately. But unfortunately he had to lose a lot of time to just call Riri.

"Sir Manto used to be like this?" ask Rian.

"Everyone's struggle and sacrifice is different sir. I can still spend time with the woman I choose to be my life partner. But I lost a lot of time with the woman who became my first love. Even until the wingless angel left, I couldn't hug the body." Manto's eyes glazed as he imagined those moments.

Rian was moved by the story of Manto which turned out not as lucky as he imagined. The treasure can help the economy of his family. But can't buy the whole happiness, because the stretch of distance is too far between Manto and his mother.

"Master Manto is great to get through all that. Though I just felt it was very heavy," said Rian.

"Great is only a greeting to an appraiser who only hears stories. As for the perpetrator, the real ability only hides pain and disappointment." Manto is back to being tough.

As of now, Rian has returned to see Manto calmer and seems nothing. He thought back to his fate later. What will happen to him in a few years. Will he be happy because he is with the woman of his heart? Or even disappointed because Riri left for the reason of his busyness?

Ah it seems Riri understands Rian's condition always understands his busyness. It is different with Naura. He who usually welcomes the arrival of Rian is now very rare even never.

Rian departs when Naura has not yet woken up and returns home after the child has gone to bed, making their relationship even further. It's been very difficult to get the right time to just play in the mall.

"I'm sorry Om ya Naura" said Rian slowly as he closed the door to his room.

Rian loosened the maroon tie that coiled around his neck. He sat down on one of the chairs and sipped a glass of water.

"Ri, just got home?" ask Mr. Wira.

Rian nodded and kept the glass on the table. The night so late made the glass and the clashing glass table sound very loud.

"So Naura didn't ask me?" ask Rian.

Today he lost a phone call from Naura. A child who used to annoy him with repeated phone calls made things very different.

"No. Is he mad at you?" ask Mr. Wira.

"It seems so Pah," replied Rian.

"Don't complain that way. Later Naura will also understand your situation," said Mr. Wira.

It might be true, but Rian did not know when all that would happen. Because even now Naura is still acting like a child. But at this time Rian actually missed the attitude of Naura who was so spoiled.

"What about your business?" ask Mr. Wira.

"The better Pah," replied Rian proudly.

How Rian is not proud, when his new company was established there were several other companies that invite the same passion as him. It is not because of his greatness, but he also worked hard there.

Time passes so fast. Rian even almost forgot that tomorrow Riri will leave Germany. I hope he meets Riri. Yes, although it could be that the possibility is only limited to seeing it from a distance without addressing it.

"I'm waiting for you" Rian said by phone.

"Mas, don't get your hopes up. I'm afraid you're disappointed" said Riri.

"As I told you repeatedly. I can see you smiling from a distance is happy enough" Rian said.

"Serious mas?" asked Riri doubtfully.

Yes, the current Rian is not as relaxed as before. He began to get busy with work. Riri does not want if his presence in Indonesia will interfere with Rian's work. That too Riri could not promise to be able to meet Rian. But Rian continues to convince Riri that his presence in Indonesia will not bother him at all.

"Never worry about me. I'll split my time. Work is important, but you are important too. But I will not neglect my work. Take it easy" said Rian.

Riri was so flattered by the way Rian treated her. Not married, she felt she was treated like a queen. Ah, suddenly Riri can't wait to immediately become Madam Rian.

Rian continued his work. Manto observes every day. There's a lot of progress going on. Now Rian has started to balance his work. Merely, Rian looked pale today.

"Is Mr Rian sick?" ask Manto.

"No Sir. I'm fine" replied Rian.

"You look pale, sir. It's better to rest" said Manto.

Rian pushed the table to make his chair more flexible. He sat more relaxed and rubbed his cold sweaty forehead.

"Maybe you're right. I was sleep deprived" said Rian.

"Surely because you studied those files, right?" guess Manto.

Seeing Rian's earnest struggle, Manto was sure he would thrive in the company. But he also reminded Rian not to overdo it.

"If you are tired, let me do it. I'm sorry, I don't believe in Mr. Rian's work but maybe you haven't been used to it, sir. Don't hesitate. We're a team. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll do it." Manto convinced Rian.

"Yes, sure. Of course I will need the help of Mr. Manto. My future wife will be here next week. Maybe I can't get into the office. I'm leaving the office! For my part of the job, just be separated. I'll do it later" said Rian.

To Manto, Rian has always been more open. He did not hesitate to acknowledge Riri as his future wife. He believes Manto who married young must be very supportive of his steps with Riri.

"Ready Sir. Take it easy" said Manto.

Manto is a good listener. But he wouldn't have gotten into it if Rian hadn't told me. And that makes Rian happy with the presence of Manto.

"But don't tell Papa ya!" said Rian.

"Loh, isn't Mr Felix very supportive of your relationship with your candidate?" ask Manto.

"Yes. But I'm afraid Papa is disappointed to find out I left the office to meet my future wife" Rian said.

"I think Mr. Felix would understand. But if you ask me to keep all this a secret, fine. All secrets are safe in my hands" Manto said.

"You have my new partner and my new best friend. Papa sent the right man for me. Thank you for being here, sir," Rian said.

Manto always thanked and reminded Rian not to praise him excessively like that. Instead Manto is also happy to work with a great boss like Rian. Want to learn and not consider it subordinate. The word friend makes Manto flattered because he did not have a friend like Rian before.
