Between Asa And Taste

Don't be stiff

Rian disappeared all day. No one can find him. He hides in a rented house near Lina's house. The area is not too luxurious so they would not have guessed if Rian was there.

"Rin, Lina." Rian knocked on Rian's door early in the morning.

There is no law from inside the house. He got upset and came back. Since there were no friends, Rian finally decided to return to his contract. In the reflection of the mirror, he observed himself.

There were many changes to him. I no longer see a clean and neat face. His mustache had already begun to decorate his face. Her hair was getting long and looked untidy.

Rian rubbed his face. He smiled at his own face. He soon got ready and went to the office. His arrival at the office certainly surprised Manto who was observing the screen of his laptop.

"Sir Rian?" manto was surprised.

"For the sir" said Rian.

"Morning," said Manto nervously.

Rian doesn't talk much. He did not want Manto to ask too many questions. Right now he just wants to shift his anxiety.

"Honey," said Shelin who came to Rian's room.

Rian forced his lips to smile even though he did not expect the presence of Shelin. Seeing the sight, Manto immediately went outside. It's his chance to tell Danu about Rian's arrival.

"Seriously Sir?" ask Danu.

"Serious dong. When I was joking?" manto. "Wh-where are you going?" manto asked while pulling Danu's hand.

Danu who was about to go to Rian's room undo his intentions when he found out that there was Shelin there. He asks about Rian during his disappearance, but unfortunately Manto does not know anything.

"We don't make Rian uncomfortable here" Danu said.

"Therefore I dare not ask anything to Mr. Rian," replied Manto.

Manto uses his time to do his work in Danu's room. She let Shelin talk to Rian. Hoping that Shelin could make Rian much calmer.

"Sir," call Rian.

"Sir Rian, how can I help you?" ask Manto.

"Please give me the job I need to do now" Rian said.

"But sir" said Manto.

"Shelin is home" replied Rian who understood the meaning of Manto's words.

"I'll get it in the room, sir" said Manto.

"Let's go back to the room!" bring Rian.

Danu only watched Rian silently. Rian even just threw a smile without greeting her at all. There was no hospitality like Rian whom he knew before.

"I have to get Rian back to what he used to be" Danu said.

Although he did not know what he had to do, but at least he had made sure if Rian was healthy. The news was immediately reported to Sindi. And as he believed, Sindi would soon inform Mr. Felix about Rian.

"Mas find out where he lives" Sindi said.

"Where might I find out if she herself shut herself down. Mending you follow him when he comes home later," said Danu.

Danu's idea has a point, too. He had to follow Rian on the grab. Because if he follows Rian with Danu, of course Rian will be very familiar with Danu cars. He does not want to misunderstand and even become a new mass.

As per Danu's instructions, Sindi immediately followed Rian when his car was out of the office. Sindi scrunched her forehead when she saw the car that Rian had brought to a hospital.

What are you sick with Ri?

Sindi's bad thoughts adorned her head. Various allegations roamed around without knowing the exact answer. But when Sindi will come out and follow Rian, suddenly Rian has come out again with a flat face.

His hand played the key until finally the key he used to open the car. After that, Rian re-applied his car. Sindi frowned. The car that Rian was carrying was not headed for Mia's house or Miss Helen's.

A foreign road that has never been. Sindi. He continued to follow Rian even though his head was very confused. Where is Rian really going?

Sindi stopped her car a bit away from Rian's parking lot. From a distance he observed Rian knocking on the door of a house. Sindi gets even more confused when she sees a woman coming out of the house and chatting with Rian.

From Sindi's observation, he saw Rian and the woman look so familiar. Mia remained there even though she could not hear what they were discussing.

Fearing that his whereabouts were known to Rian, Sindi soon returned home. Today to know where Rian lives is enough. He just told Mr. Felix that everything was fine. Rian just needs some time to be alone.

"Aren't you following Rian?" danu asked when he saw that Sindi had come home.

Danu simply nodded and understood Rian's intentions. Sindi is right. He could not ask Rian directly. He couldn't explain anything to her. Maybe even Rian was angry at Sindi who was secretly following him.

"Yes, you are resting now! Tomorrow I will tell you that Rian has reached the office" Danu said.

The next morning Danu waits for Rian's arrival. He even asked Danu to tell him that Rian had come. Today Rian came more noon than yesterday. But even so, Danu was still grateful when she found out Rian came to the office.

Sindi immediately went to the planned place. Unfortunately, the house is empty. There was no answer as Sindi continuously knocked on the door of the house. Until finally a man approached him.

"You want to meet Rina, Mba?" ask the guy.

"Ah yes. Is Rina around?" Sindi asked back.

In order not to look suspicious, Sindi seemed to have known the owner of the house. His name just found out today. That was because the man said his name.

"Rina's still working. Usually, it will be a bit bad to go home," said the person.

"Oh yeah if you know where it works?" ask Sindi.

Sindi's question certainly made the person confused. It was impossible for Sindi not to know where Rina's workplace was if she really knew him.

"I just went to Jakarta. So do not know the address of his workplace," said Sindi explained back to his lie.

The person immediately gave the address of the hospital where Rina worked. He hid his confusion when he saw the address. It was clear that it was the hospital where Rian was being treated at that time.

Without delay, Sindi immediately visited the hospital. Capitalized on the name and address of Rina's residence, Sindi searches for the person who will give her a lot of information about Rian.

Not long after Sindi managed to meet with Sindi. But unfortunately Lina will meet the patient.

"It's okay. I'm waiting here" said Sindi.

Lina nodded and immediately finished her task. After finishing all her work, Rina immediately met Sindi.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting" said Rina.

"Don't be so stiff. Just call me Sindi" said Sindi.

"I call Mba Sindi!" Rina.

"Ah may," replied Sindi.

Both are happy when they make new, friendly friends. Although Rina had no idea what it was that Sinsi had met her, she was sure that Sindi was a good person.

After feeling enough base, Sindi invites Rina to leave the hospital. Not immediately home, Sindi invites Rina to a place to eat not far from the hospital.

"Sorry Mba, if I can know Mba Sindi there is a need what is the same for me?" ask Rina.

"Ah, I've forgotten my purpose. You're the one who's engrossed" Sindi replied.

Rina was happy when Sindi was comfortable with him. He began to listen carefully to Sindi's story about Rian. As he knew, Rian was not okay. But he did not expect that Rian's regret was so deep.

"I'm asking you to reassure Rian that Shelin is her choice. Don't make Shelin a victim of Rian's selfishness. The engagement has been held and known to many people. You understand, right?" ask Sindi.

Lina could only nod. He doesn't know what to do. Because what was in his head was contrary to Sindi's wishes. A good name is necessary. But Rian also could not live in a household with regrets that were too deep.

"I'm sorry! I'm asking you to keep my arrival a secret to Rian. I'm afraid he'll misunderstand me" Sindi said.

"Yes Mba" said Rina.

After Sindi leaves, Rina rethinks all Sindi's sayings. Should he persuade Rian to forget about Riri? Though it is very clear that Rian loves Riri very much. But is it worth Rian to endure all of this for the rest of his life?

Ah Rina had not been able to determine her actions. He just needs to rest because last night had gone through many activities that drain energy. He went home and took a shower. After that he lay on the bed. His head thought of Sindi's words that were still clearly ringing in his memory.

Lina shook her head and woke up. He could not imagine if he was in Rian's current position. Of course what Rian is experiencing is a big problem and very heavy. He was not necessarily able to stand like Rian at the moment.

"You don't want to hear what I said at that time anyway" said Rina slowly.

Yes, at that time Rina once reminded Rian to go looking for the truth and certainty about the new Riri looking for his successor. But the disappointment of Rian at that time made Rian have to feel a very heavy disappointment.

Lama Rina thought about the problem that Rian faced. Until finally Rian realized that the arrival of Rian in his life only brought a myriad of problems.

"Why should I come to think about her problems?" Rina.

Feeling tired and dizzy, Lina chose to sleep. He needs rest in order to stay healthy and not stress because of other people's problems. In just a few minutes, Lina managed to fall asleep in her deep sleep. Forgetting for a moment all the problems that should not bother him at all.
