Between Asa And Taste

That's not how much

The call with Riri ended when Rian's car was parked in front of the office.

"Later on again!" said Rian.

"Yes" answered Riri.

This morning Rian got the best ammunition. Riri's voice and attention always made her mood rise. He got out of the car with a big smile. The burning spirit has been prepared to do all the office tasks today.

"Morning, Sir." Rian greeted Manto warmly which turned out to have come earlier than him.

"Morning. Today you look much fresher," said Rian.

"Oh yeah?" rian asked as he looked at his face at the reflection of the mirror.

"May it always be this spirit, sir." Manto smiled kindly.

"I will learn from Mr. Manto" said Rian.

They work today. Although one room was the same, there was no chatter going on between the two. They are busy with their own work.

The conversation only started during the break. When Rian invites Manto to have lunch together.

"It's just here, sir" said Manto.

"Once we eat out. Let it be fresher," said Rian.

"Yes, I can." Manto agreed to Rian's invitation.

An expensive restaurant selected Rian for lunch this time. Manto refused. But he thinks it's appropriate to appreciate Manto's extraordinary workings.

"When we can eat in an ordinary place, sir." Manto still feels bad.

"Yes. Next time we find another place" said Rian.

Rian was amazed at Manto. Although Manto is not an ordinary worker, with his work honor above average, but Manto tries to keep life simple. He was ashamed of himself.

"Rian," said Maudi who suddenly appeared.

Rian rubbed his face. The arrival of the Maudi really made Rian's appetite disappear. He asked Maudi to leave. But Maudi still insisted he wanted to be near Rian.

"For a while, sir" said Rian.

With an annoyed face, Rian pulled Maudi's hand away from the table. He did not want Manto to be disturbed by what Maudi did.

"Rian, release!" maudi said as he tried to take off Rian's hand. "Sick," he continued grimacing as Rian's hand managed to slip from his wrist.

"ill? Riri was a lot sicker when you scolded her yesterday. I don't think it's anything" said Rian.

"Oh, so you're still defending that woman? That fucking cat?" asked Maudi with a cynical smile.

"If he's a fucking cat, then what's a proper name for someone like you?" Rian asked back with a gaze that was no less sharp.

"Whatchu mean? Is it because that damn cat complained and asked that you avenge everything?" The maudi started burning. His emotions began to rise.

"Riri never asked me to avenge all his heartache. He just asked me to marry him. Because that is enough to make you hurt," said Rian with a triumphant smile.

"Stop saying that to me" Maudi said.

"Why? Because it's the truth. Ready not to be ready, you have to be ready for that reality. The time is not long" said Rian.

"I will not let your marriage happen. You will only be mine" Maudi said.

"Waw," Rian said as he clapped.

Maudi's eyes stared intently at Rian. He was really annoyed by Rian's seemingly relaxed behavior.

"I didn't know you were so obsessed with me. Am I that handsome? Or because no one wants you anymore?" ask Rian.

Maudi raised his hand until it landed right on Rian's cheek. Rian's eyes stared intently at Maudi. His hand touched the cheek that Maudi had slapped.

"Thank you for this slap, Maudi. It makes me not want to be with you. Rude woman" said Rian as he passed away from Maudi.

"Rian, Rian, wait." Maudi chased Rian and detained him.

"What else do you want? Want to slap me again? Would please? This one? This one?" rian asked as he pointed at his left and right cheeks alternately.

Rian firmly released Maudi's embrace from her. He also assured Maudi that there was no chance for them.

"In my heart there is only Riri and I don't want to hurt her" Rian said before leaving Maudi.

Maudi only cried seeing Rian who was getting away and lost from his sight. Realizing that many pairs of eyes saw him, he immediately left the restaurant. Letting Rian go back to lunch with that unknown person.

Rian let out a long sigh before he finally returned to meet Manto. He saw Manto sitting restless. Food is also served on the table.

"Sorry for a long time" Rian said as he sat back in front of Manto.

"No problem sir" said Manto.

"Let's eat!" bring Rian.

"Yes sir" said Manto.

Not many questions, Manto immediately ate. Burying his curiosity about the woman who approached Rian earlier. The change in Rian's face made Manto very curious. But he did not want to make Rian feel uncomfortable with his curiosity.

After they finished eating, they chatted lightly about his views on the company he was starting. Suddenly Manto invites Rian to immediately return to the office.

Rian looked at his wrist. It's been five minutes. But he doesn't dispute that. Because usually Manto and himself never molested about time.

"It's okay sir. Relax," said Rian.

"We are an example for them. If we act like time, I'm just afraid they're doing the same thing. So we should immediately go back to the office," said Manto.

Rian. He also agreed with Manto. He is a leader. He should set a good example so that all his employees can follow that example.

"Yes, come on!" bring Rian.

Manto lets Rian walk first, while he follows him behind him. But when it reached the parking lot, he walked faster until ahead of Rian. He opened the car door for Rian, as usual.

"Sir, don't be. I can do it myself" said Rian.

"It's okay. I can also drive by myself but you're forcing me to drive." Manto turned Rian's sentence around.

Yes, this afternoon Rian did force Manto to allow him to drive himself. Although with a bad feeling, Manto finally relented. He sat next to Rian who was focused on driving.

"Sir, sorry for today." Rian looked at Manto for a while then refocused on the road.

"Sorry for what, sir? Instead, I have to thank you for today" said Manto.

"Thank you?" Rian asked back.

"Yes. During my time at work, I have not met a boss like you. Very loyal and pleasant," replied Manto.

"I am ashamed, sir. It shouldn't have happened in front of you" Rian said.

"Ah, no problem. Just relax, sir." Manto tried to make Rian calmer.

"I don't understand why there are women like that" Rian said.

"Many Sir. That's not how much," said Manto.

"meaning?" ask Rian.

"The father is the leader of the company. Young and very handsome. It's natural that many are chasing you," said Manto.

"Ah, I'm just a very lucky kid. Enough she's the woman who loaded me dizzy. So there's no way that many are chasing me. Unless I'm a thief" Rian said with a laugh.

"Loh, don't get me wrong. Treasure and the throne is one that makes the father become a thief" said Manto.

"Huh?" ask Rian.

"Most attention" Manto replied with a mesmerizing smile.

"Sir Manto could have been," said Rian.

Rian thought that if one day he really became a successful businessman, would there be another Maudi-Maudi? Rian shuddered as he imagined that. Facing one Maudi alone he was already very dizzy. Especially if there are other Maudi-Maudi.

"Mother why?" manto asked when he saw Rian shudder.

"Ah, no. There's nothing, sir" replied Rian.
