Between Asa And Taste

Uncovered

Early in the morning Manto was getting ready and leaving for the office. I can't wait to see Rian. He was worried that Rian was sick again because he had worked overtime alone. Moreover, he knew Rian had not been completely healthy.

"Morning, Sir." Rian greeted me kindly.

Manto who just entered the room almost fell when surprised by Rian's greeting.

"Sir Rian?" manto asked while holding his chest.

"Yes Sir. It's me" Rian replied with a laugh.

Rian who just came out of the WC made Manto surprised. Especially when Rian came much earlier than usual. Even today Rian came earlier than Manto.

"Sir Rian is healthy?" ask Manto.

As Manto saw, Rian was fine. It looks fresh and so excited. Apparently the pain Rian had been through all this time was only due to his improper focus. Lamenting his love story to make Rian feel his life is almost over.

The spirit of life is now back up. He felt that everyone around him would be sad as he continued to fall. Life really needs love. But that doesn't mean a breakup has to make his life a mess.

Has Riri been forgotten? Answer's no. Rian was just trying to concern himself with something much more useful. Will Rian wait until next year? The answer is only about time.

Rian is no hypocrite if he will find a replacement for Riri during that long wait. Because he thinks Riri has the same opportunity as him.

"For Sir" said Danu, who was standing in the doorway of the room.

Rian and Manto who were chatting shifted their eyes. Danu reported that there was no lunch this afternoon.

"Sir Sindi is sick?" ask Rian.

"No, Sir. The workers are not coming in. The restaurant is closing sir" Danu said.

"Ah, thank goodness." Rian rubbed his chest.

"Huh? How grateful are you, sir?" ask Manto.

"Eh, no. That's not what it means. I mean thank God that Sindi is fine. Restaurant problems will open tomorrow again" replied Rian.

"Yes Sir. It opens again tomorrow. Lunch delivery for tomorrow I make sure it will come on time" said Danu.

"Sister, this isn't about lunch. I'm just worried Sindi why-why. After all, he is my brother" said Rian.

"Thank you for making Sindi feel meaningful sir" Danu said.

Rian's confession meant a lot to Sindi. When Rian was victorious he still considered Sindi as his brother. At the time, Sindi was not financially well.

Rian's arrival also changed his economic situation. Admittedly, Sindi was able to realize her dream of Rian's intervention as well. Although Rian always refused when Sindi or Danu considered it very meritorious.

Since there was no lunch this afternoon, Rian and Manto went out for lunch. Not eating in the office cafeteria, Rian actually invited Manto and Danu to an outside cafe which was not too far from the office.

Danu refused on the grounds that much work had not been completed. Manto also almost refused, but he knew Danu could not feel bad.

Actually Manto can have lunch in the cafeteria. The price is more affordable and will be more time efficient. But he couldn't possibly correct Rian's invitation.

A cafe whose price soared was in sight. He knew that lunch this time would be paid for by Rian. But he was ashamed of himself for never being given the opportunity to pay for his own food.

"There, sir," pointed at Rian.

The table in the corner that Rian chose. Manto just nodded and walked after Rian. A small chat about Manto's daily coloring lunch this time.

"Hussst," Rian placed an index finger on his lips. He gave Manto an eye code. Nodding Manto's head made Rian lift the phone and cover his face with a mask.

Curiosity, makes Rian send a message to Manto to move to the bench appointed by Rian. Without understanding what happened, Manto followed what Rian wanted.

Seeing Manto move tables, Rian moved positions. He turned his back on the man he was spying on. Allowing working Manto not to be suspected.

Hiccup for a sip of orange ice, making it much fresher. Although his head was still chaotic with many pikran that disturbed him. He came home when he got a message from Manto telling him that everything was done.

Rian goes home by taking another road and meets Manto in the parking lot. Without speaking, Rian immediately asked Manto to immediately leave the cafe.

Luck sided with Rian who came to the cafe using Manto's car. Maudi and Hiro do not know that in the cafe there is a Rian who suspects his togetherness.

"What I saw and heard, they were very warm. Family is harmonious" Manto replied.

"warm? Harmonious family?" ask Rian.

"What I caught was like that. But Bspak could conclude differently. Please check, sir. I've sent the video" said Manto.

"Oh yes. Thank you very much sir" said Rian.

Rian quickly opened the message. Watch the video he received from Manto. Rian was shocked by the content of the recording. He who thought Maudi was dating Hiro, turned out to be a big mistake.

"So they're siblings?" rian did not believe it.

"Did you know them?" Manto asked back.

"Yes. But from now on I don't want to know them anymore" Rian said.

Without being asked, Rian told me everything. He felt annoyed that he had been deceived all this time. He patted his own forehead when he realized his stupidity.

Rian's trying to get rid of what happened this afternoon. But Manto was well aware of Rian's restlessness. Manto can only hope that Rian can regain control of himself.

"Sir, it's home." Rian reminded Manto who was still opening the report sheet on his desk.

"Father just go home first, there is a job that I have to finish today" said Manto.

Unlike yesterday, Rian came home even though Manto was still busy with his work. Manto understands that Rian needs time.

A message Rian sent to Mr. Wira. He told me that tonight is not coming home because there is important business. Although Mr. Wira was worried, but the permit was already pocketed by Rian.

Lying a little may be better than having to bring trouble to the Lord Wira's house. She did not want Miss Helen to be more worried about her situation.

Tonight Rian rented a hotel. He wants to be alone. Take off all his office work for a while. She cried when she remembered her life journey.

Her mother's clothes are still there. I'm not alone Ma.

By himself? No. gabe. Rian is not alone. So many care about him. But he doesn't want to make others worry about him. He tried to face everything alone.

At a five-star hotel, Rian sat by the side of the bed. He reopened the video Manto sent earlier this afternoon. It is no longer a cry. He clenched his hands tightly. Feeling fooled by Hiro all this time.

"Why am I not aware of all this? Why didn't I realize Hiro was Maudi's sister? Why am I stupid? They must be happy to see me like this," said Rian growled.

Hiro is no longer in Germany. He even willing to go to college in Germany just to avenge him on Rian. Hiro returns home knowing that Riri is no longer in touch with Rian. Riri, who is no longer in Germany, makes Hiro decide to return to Indonesia.

"I have to go back with Riri. If they knew I was broken up, they would be very happy. This is what they want" muttered Rian.

Rian quickly pressed Riri's number on his phone. But he stopped when he remembered Riri's decision to stay there for another year. Rian undoes his intention to call Riri.

It occurred to him to run to the road that made him calm for a moment. But he again thought of the impact he would feel after that momentary calm. Finally, Rian decided to lock himself in a hotel room.

His mind is wandering. He still does not believe in Maudi's revenge plan which he thinks is excessive. But everything has happened and there is nothing he can do at the moment.

In reality, Rian had already considered Riri the past. Even if the taste is still there, but he is not sure of all his beautiful expectations with Riri. He did not want to feel any deeper pain until he decided to end it all early.

He could not sleep tonight. His work spirit had dropped again because the secrets of Maudi and Hiro were revealed. He really felt his world was getting messy.

The ringing of the phone makes Rian realize if there are still people who love him very sincerely. The one who always craved Rian's happiness. The person who was currently so warm revealed his longing. Who else if not Mr. Felix.

I want Rian to tell all about Maudi and Hiro to Mr. Felix. But he realized, if what he would say would only be boomerang. Mr. Felix will defend Mia and ask Rian to contact her again. And that's not his wish.

Rian always looked good in front of Mr. Felix. He did not want to look hesitant, let alone regret his decision. Although the decision Rian took left Mr. Felix disappointed.

As a father, Mr. Felix wanted the best pliers for Rian. He clearly believes that Riri is the best woman who deserves to accompany Rian. But with the current circumstances, he also could not force what he wanted. He just wanted to see Rian happy. That'sthat's all.

"How's company?" ask Mr. Felix.

A question that made both of them look serious. Understanding each other is their way of dealing with every problem that occurs. Especially the distance that separates the two. That certainly makes them not as intelligent as usual.

Mr. Felix was delighted when Rian told him about the company's development. So fast was the success that Rian achieved with the company. It's just, unfortunately, Rian's love story is not as lucky in his career.
