Between Asa And Taste

Egotistical

Riri is seen holding her chest as Rian and Mr. Felix have already left her room. Rian's confession really made Riri feel her chest tight. It had never occurred to me that Rian would meet him back and say that sentence.

That phrase made him very happy. But now things are different. Rian is no longer the man who will rule his future. That man is his past.

"I still love you, too." Riri finally confesses her feelings.

A taste that only Riri herself should know. A taste he should not have spoken at any time. But finally he expressed his feelings even though he was the only one in the room.

Riri immediately rubbed his face and resuscitated himself. He does not want to be dissolved in feelings that he should not be keeping at the moment.

Today was a messy day for both. Rian's arrival to Riri's office turned out not to solve the situation. That right makes the problem even more complicated.

Riri couldn't concentrate today. Many jobs were neglected due to Rian's presence. Concentration's down. He just tried to calm himself down without doing anything. Just stand in front of the glass and stare blankly outwards.

Slender. After Rian's arrival, Riri feels lonely. Rian's presence actually makes him remind that he is alone. Even Rian who had always been there for her was now already a prospective husband of people.

Mr. Felix is a very sensitive person with Riri's feelings. He was the one who was furious when he saw what Rian was doing today. He knew the consequences that Riri would feel after this incident.

"You are absolutely outrageous" said Mr. Felix.

"That's sorry. I just can't control my feelings. I just want to prove Hiro's point. He said Mpus still loves me" said Rian.

"Hiro again, Hiro again. Wake Rian! Conscious. What you did only hurt Riri. You're married to Shelin. Then you easily hurt Shelin and make Riri feel hurt again" said Mr. Felix firmly.

"That I just don't want to regret because of my decision" Rian said.

"You're crazy! Decision you have made. Remember Rian, your goal here is to right your wrongs. It's not a new mistake to hurt two people at once" Felix said.

Rian silent. Mr. Felix's words were indeed very spicy, but that was the reality. He hurt two women at once. He could even see Riri holding back tears that almost wet his cheeks.

"I really love Mpus, Pah." Rian again tried to express his feelings.

"It's Rian, enough!" taun Felix.

Not wanting to argue too long with Rian, Mr. Felix immediately went to the office. At first he wanted to spend time with Rian before Rian returned to Indonesia. Unfortunately, things did not go as she hoped.

Staying at home will only make Mr. Felix and Rian even more tense. They will continue to argue without making the best decision. Rian's ego is burning. He is putting his feelings forward without thinking with his logic.

Rian who was alone in the house couldn't help himself. Unbeknownst to Mr. Felix, he meets Riri again. Unfortunately, Riri is not in the office. He saw his wrist. It was still working hours but Riri was no longer in the office.

Meeting was the answer Rian received from the office person. But Rian did not believe that Riri really met. It feels very unlikely for Riri to meet today. Especially when they don't have their meeting place. He felt this was only Riri's reason for not seeing him again.

Rian did not remain silent. He went to see Riri at his house. The result is still the same. Riri wasn't there. Finally Rian went to the campus where he and Riri met. Exact guess. He found Riri there.

"Why run from me?" ask Rian.

Riri turned her face away and rubbed her wet cheeks with tears. Rian's voice was already attached to Riri's ears although he had not confirmed who had asked him. But his heart was already convinced that it was Rian.

"I'm preparing for college" Riri replied after feeling calmer.

"Oh yeah? Not because you're missing the good times we've been through here?" ask Rian.

Damnit damnit! Riri could not hide her surprise. Rian was very upset with what he was feeling at the moment. Rian's guess was very precise. But Riri couldn't possibly confirm the truth.

"Never remember the past. It's all over. Mas and I already have different lives," said Riri.

"Whatever it is, I just want an honest answer from you. You still love me, don't you?" Ask Rian.

"Why Pus? Why is it so hard to be honest? Tell me you still love me, don't you?" rian urged.

"No Mas," replied Riri firmly.

"You are evil Pus" said Rian.

Riri is angry when she hears Rian accusing her of being evil. Though he should be the one who is angry and berating Rian. Rian is evil because he has got another woman while he still hopes a lot for Rian.

There was no courage for Riri to express her anger. All of that will only make Rian sure that the taste is still intact in his heart. It's just that it's been wrapped up in a sense of disappointment that is too big.

"You can be honest about how you feel about Hiro. But why can't you be honest with me?" rian asked after a long time they were silent to each other.

"Hiro?" ask Riri.

"Yes. Hiro came to see me and asked me to reassure my feelings. Hiro told me that you still have that feeling. That's why I came here to see you," said Rian.

Riri felt as if her heart had stopped beating. It was really unexpected that Hiro would do all this. Is it true that Hiro wants to make amends by uniting them again? How are you doing with Shelin?

Ah no! All of this will only add to new problems. Riri's doubt is inversely proportional to Rian's belief. He kept urging Riri to be honest about his feelings.

Riri was never honest. He continued to refuse if Rian said that the taste was still there. For him Rian would be even more burdened upon hearing his confession. Rian will be more and more convinced to go back to her. Shelin was waiting for that happy day.

"I wouldn't have married Shelin if you weren't being honest about how you feel" Rian said.

Riri looked at Rian meaningfully.

"Everything has nothing to do with me" Riri said.

"There is, obviously," answered Rian.

"Where?" ask Riri.

"The answer was my question" said Rian.

"Even if I confess my feelings, what's the point? You're still going to marry her, right? Forget it, forget the past. Now there is a future that you have to fight for" said Riri.

"Thank you Pus, thank you." Rian hugged Riri tightly.

Riri tried to let go of Rian's embrace. He does not want to misunderstand. He does not want to be called an actor.

"What do you mean, Mom? Thanks for what?" riri asked confusedly.

"From your answer, I know you still hold that flavor. I will fight for our love. Right said Hiro, we'll be happy." Rian kissed Riri's hand.

Riri quickly pulled his hand. He shook his head.

"Pus, let's fight together. We are happy together. I'm sure Shelin will understand" Rian said.

"Mas, you're evil. She chick. I know how sick he is if the sakpai all happen," said Riri.

"But at the very least, we're both happy. If I force myself to marry Shelin, only Shelin is happy. While we're gonna be sick. I don't want to lament that pain for the rest of my life" Rian said.

Riri looked at Rian in disbelief. Rian has really gone too far. He still hopes that everything can be repaired. But not at the expense of the happiness of others either.

"Sorry, I'm not as selfish as you. I don't want to be happy on top of the suffering of others" Riri said as she left the place.
