Between Asa And Taste

Times have changed

Rian had just arrived at Miss Helen's house. He heard a little commotion. Oma tried to sharpen her hearing. The closer it gets the clearer if the sound comes from the living room.

"What else is this?" rian said slowly.

Not wanting to interfere in the affairs of his parents, Rian chose to leave. He meets Naura and Narendra. Making sure both are okay and not bothered by the quarrel of Oma and Opanya.

"Where is Rian going?" ask Mba.

"To the twins' room" answered Rian.

"You what?" ask Mba.

"How do you ask what?" Rian asked in confusion.

"Yes, the room is empty. Is there anything left behind?" ask Mba.

"empty?" rian's face was getting confused.

Rian needs answers to Mba's bullshit. But his body was limp when he entered Naura's room. He quickly closed the door and opened Narendra's room. Much the same. Both rooms are empty.

"What's Mas Rian looking for?" ask Mba again.

"Where are they?" Rian asked back.

"Mas Rian doesn't know? Naura and Rendra have gone home" replied Mba.

"Who's the guy?" ask Rian.

"Mrs Mia and Mr. Dion came here to pick them up" replied Mba.

The answer received in Rian's ears made him even more limp. Face paled. He doesn't know what's really going on. He was thinking about Danu.

Is all this because of Brother Danu?

Rian immediately went to his room. Open his shirt and use a blue t-shirt. He sat down and gulped down a glass of mineral water until it ran aground. Keep the glass back hard. There was a loud sound of glass clanging against a glass table.

"How am I supposed to do this?" mummy Danu.

When he was dizzy and agitated, the ringing of the phone shifted his focus.

"Sister Mia?" rian was surprised.

Doubtfully Rian answered the call from Mia. His voice was slow and nervous. But finally he could breathe a sigh of relief when the one who called him was Naura.

"Why are you coming home?" ask Rian.

"Say let Mama take care of Naura, Om. Naura is still at home in Oma's house. Tomorrow Om nginep here yes!" naura Pinta.

"Are you still sick?" ask Rian.

"It's improving. But Mama forced Naura to go home" Naura replied.

There was Mia's voice advising Naura not to complain about Rian. And not long after that call was over without saying goodbye.

Rian held his phone. He has to see Mia tomorrow. Something is wrong with his family. He must immediately solve yes before the problem gets bigger.

Not wanting to find information from Lady Helen or Mr. Wira, tonight Rian slept and pretended not to know anything. Until the next morning he got confided in from Mrs Helen.

"Papa you always blame Mama. My mom didn't mean anything. Kok until ngadu with Mia all," grumbled Miss Helen.

Rian who had just bit the brown jam bread was stiff. He lifted his face and chewed the bread slowly. His head was still thinking about what sentence he should put out to be able to calm Madam Helen.

"Patience to Ma" said Rian.

"Patience?" ask Mrs Helen.

Rian swallowed the bread in his mouth so hard. The gaze of Madam Helen clearly showed her dislike.

"I-I mean," Rian's words came to a halt as Lady Helen rebuked.

"You don't know how hard Mama's been with Papa. Just because Mama was so spontaneous with Rendra, she complained." Miss Helen spoke with emotion.

Rian shut up for a second. He doesn't understand what's really going on. Did Mr Wira really complain?

"Ma, stop. Let's have breakfast first. Don't be so angry. Shall I take you to Mia's house?" ask Rian.

Rian took a long breath.

"Mom want me to drop off shopping at the mall?" ask Rian again.

"You think Mama matre? You are the same Papa. Always have bad thoughts about Mama" said Mrs Helen.

Lady Helen went to the room without saying goodbye. Rian clearly felt very guilty about the anger of Miss Helen. He caught up with Lady Helen who slammed the door so hard.

"Ma, I'm sorry! I don't mean to offend Mama" Rian said as he knocked on Ms Helen's tightly shut bedroom door.

"You don't understand Mama's feelings. You and Papa are the same" cried Mrs Helen.

"Ma, I'm sorry. I knew I was wrong" Rian said.

No more answers. Without despair, Rian again knocked on Madam Helen's room door many times and apologized. There was no response from Mrs Helen. Because time was getting late, Rian immediately said goodbye.

"Once again I'm sorry Ma. I went to work first" said Rian.

Rian arrived at the office with a disheveled face. This certainly invites Manto's concerns.

"She's fine, right?" ask Manto.

"Well," replied Rian limp.

"If you are sick, just rest. I can finish the office. Besides, there is also Mr. Danu" said Manto.

"Oh yes Brother Danu has come?" ask Rian.

"Already, Sir. Mr. Danu comes before the clock. I see Mr. Danu is indeed very qualified," replied Manto.

"As I said, Brother Danu is very much needed here. Sekelah Pak Manto just praised Kak Danu. It means the quality of Kak Danu can not be doubted," said Rian.

"I believe the company will quickly grow when there are quality people like Mr. Danu," said Manto.

"Even this company has two great people. I'm sure that we can move forward together" Rian said.

"Three of us, sir." Manto smiles.

Rian was always not confident when he was with Manto and Danu. But the two always encouraged Rian. And that's what makes Rian's gratitude never stop.

"Sir, my work this morning I finished last night. Can I go out first? There's a little business. I promise not long" said Rian.

"This father is strange" Manto replied with a smile.

"Cock freak?" rian asked confusedly.

"This is my company. Why ask me for permission?" Manto asked back.

Rian is the owner of the company. But he always felt like he was nobody. That's why Rian always asked permission from Manto every time he would leave the office.

After making sure the work in his office was safe, Rian immediately went to see Mr. Wira. This morning he did not meet his father, because he had left before breakfast.

"Rian?" ask Mr. Wira.

"Morning Pah. Can I come in?" rian asked as Mr. Wira let him stand in front of the door of the room.

"Ah yes of course. Please. Come in, come in." Mr. Wira patted the sofa beside him.

Rian's coming in. He was sure that everything was not okay. Mr. Wira left early for the office. But when I got to the office, it didn't look like I was working. Mr. Wira is seen sitting on the sofa while playing his cell phone.

"What's the matter, Pah?" ask Rian.

Mr. Wira understood Rian's question. After all, his wife must have complained to Rian. Though lazy, he was forced to explain what happened between them.

Actually Mr. Wira did not complain. But he asks Mia to pick up Naura and Narendra because the situation at home is not good. Miss Helen's excessive worry makes Narendra feel excluded.

"I just don't want Rendra to be the wrong one. That's it, just that" said Mr. Wira.

"Yes Pah. I-i understand. Maybe Mama is so because she is not ready with the development of Naura too fast," said Rian.

Times have changed. Dating is common for children who are still in elementary school. Unlike the days of Lady Helen.
