Between Asa And Taste

Burden and responsibility

Riri said goodbye because Mr. Felix did not allow her to accompany him in the hospital. Though deep down he could not bear to leave Mr. Felix. But as Mr. Felix asks not to make Rian suspicious. Mr. Felix just wants to see Rian happy.

Not yet home, Rian had already contacted him. Riri answered the call after wiping her tears. Tears of sadness and newness that spill into one.

"Where have you been?" ask Rian.

"From the fairyland" Riri replied with a laugh.

"What the hell? I'm serious Pus," said Rian.

"I'm serious too" said Riri.

"What does it mean from a fairy tale?" ask Rian.

"I just met Papa Felix. He gave this. He said from someone," said Riri while showing the ring on his ring finger.

"What does this have to do with fairy tales?" rian was still confused.

"Because it's like a fairy tale. I was proposed to the same person through his father. But the man himself never told me anything. Though we've been calling all night" replied Riri.

Rian smiled as he watched Riri continue to stare and flaunt the gift ring from her. He was happy when he found out that Riri accepted his proposal. Honestly though he knows that Riri still loves him, but he is afraid there is trauma in Riri. Fear of rejection that makes Rian was agitated.

"And surprise. But you like it, don't you?" ask Rian.

"Like dong. Papa's choice was indeed the best," replied Riri.

"Hey, don't be. When Papa called me, I was very busy. That's why I gave it all to Papa. Papa also knows my taste," said Rian defended himself.

Unexplained, Rian already knew that Riri's answer was a satire for him. Riri was upset because Rian was still busy with his job rather than preparing to propose to him. But once again Rian explained that now he is no longer an ABG who only thinks about a romance. There are things he must do where all the results are to make his wife happy later.

"Who is his wife?" ask Riri.

"Who else if not Mpus, unfortunately I. The beautiful one who wears a cool ring from me" replied Rian.

"From Papa," said Riri.

"Gosh Pus, it's me who bought it. Really," said Rian.

"Papa who buys," said Riri.

"Yes, Papa bought it. But I paid. I'm transfer. Really my work," said Rian.

Riri who already knew the story from Mr. Felix just laughed. So he wanted to admit that Rian continued to insist on explaining that all was his struggle as well.

"Yes, yeah. I know," Riri said with a laugh.

"Have you told me the same?" ask Rian.

"Yes. Papa told me everything" replied Riri.

"Oh, where is Papa? How come I call never got an answer?" ask Rian.

"The father is busy. Much work. Are you the one who can be busy?" riri tajek.

"Dih, I'm busy for you Pus" said Rian.

Rian knows now that Riri is a leader in a large company in Germany. Riri was able to get whatever he wanted with his own money. But as a man, he also had to take responsibility for his wife later.

"Whoever you are, I still have to make a living for you. Whatever it is," said Rian.

"Who am I rich? The only one I have in this world. You," said Riri.

"Ah don't be a dreadlocks. I'm getting thinner. Can fly me later," said Rian misbehaved.

"Hello, Pus." Rian stared at the screen of his phone with a frown on his forehead.

The phone was not cut off, but silent. Rian did not hear any sound. Many times he called Riri, but there was no answer. Until the call ended. He was very worried about Riri. With her new status as a potential husband, Rian feels there is a growing responsibility on Riri.

His worries were slightly lessened when Riri sent a message if his phone battery was low. Despite that, Rian did not completely believe in Riri. It is not usual to turn off the phone without saying goodbye. There's only one reason. Riri is angry with him. But right now they are happy. There was no language that made Riri angry.

Rian returned to reply to the message that Riri had sent. He discussed the status of those who have been more serious than just dating school children. He wants to be open about anything between them.

Riri needs a friend. But he wasn't ready to tell her all about his family's problems. There was still fear if after knowing this story, Rian became different to her.

Until now Rian always tried to find out Riri's family. He wants to meet them. Because he thinks Riri's family is his family too. Riri also had thought about introducing Rian to his family.

That thought changed after Riri found out that her brother did not expect her presence. Although his mother had called him longing, but he did not want to go home and add new problems.

Riri's promise is that one day he will introduce Rian in his improved condition. He does not want Rian's view on him to change when he finds out that his family is crazy for treasure. Especially with the situation of Rian who is already very well established. He doesn't want his family to use Rian.

"Your family is my family too. You know I have no family. So when did you introduce your family?" rian asked in a short message.

Riri gasped at the question. He did not expect Rian to discuss what he was hiding.

"I've long lost contact with them. Later if I have communication, I will definitely introduce you. Patience is!" reply Riri.

Whether Rian was already suspicious or just wanted to get to know Riri's family, he kept asking for her family address. Riri kink. He was looking for reasons that essentially buy time.

"Who are your mom and dad's names? Let me search. Where's home? At least if they move, someone will know the new address." Rian still continued to persuade Riri.

My family has moved. I even know where they are. But my presence there will only add to the new problems. I don't want your presence to just create new problems for our dreams.

The message was not answered by Riri. He does not want if this problem widens and affects their relationship. Especially now that Riri is quite sensitive. His feeling is not okay.

As a good husband candidate, Rian did not Force Riri. He let Riri calm down until finally he could tell her about his family. For him, in this distant state of affairs only the attention and understanding he gave. As he could not calm Riri down with his embrace, all he could do was to let Riri calm down in his way.

After losing Riri, he felt much more mature. There are so many thoughts that make it not rash in attitude. For him, Riri is a diamond that he must take care of. Do not get scratched, let alone lost.

Rian's adult attitude also affects the company. Some good changes are happening in the company. Rian's ability, experience and maturity in taking a stand become the main material of attracting new projects for his company.

The principle that Rian applies is to accept small projects and work on large projects. Rian never chose a project that went into his company. He considered all projects the same. Equally the windfall that will make the company even bigger.

The expectation on the company is even greater when there are two people who are always ready. They help each other for the company. From starting pioneering until finally they are overwhelmed with incoming projects. They all go through working with each other.

Rian's name grew as he became an inspiring young entrepreneur in the industrial world. The spotlight never gets away from him. Everything Rian did was always hot news.

No exception with the status of Rian who is still alone. The question of when and when was familiar in his ears. But he wouldn't want to get dizzy. As long as he does not harm others, he does not need to publish sloping news about himself.

Rian did not want to get married just because of the insistence of people. He will only marry if Riri is ready to marry him. His head was no longer thinking about getting married young, but how to be a responsible husband.

His responsibilities will be even greater when he is already a husband and father. Not to mention his time with Mr. Felix. Because of his hope after marriage, Mr. Felix will settle in Indonesia. Not only that, it should be ready to take care of all of his nephews.

There are Naura and Narendra the sons of Mia and Dion. There was Dandi son of Danu and Sindi. They must succeed. Rian is responsible to them as he used to be when he was loved by his parents.

Actually not only them. There's Yaza, Reza's son and Maya. Dion's best friend now lives far off the island. There was already no actual communication, but if one day Yaza needed it then he should be ready.

His shoulders must be ready with all the burdens. He will be a husband, father, son, om ready for everyone he loves. His life changed because of the good of everyone he will repay with what he can.

Tonight Rian sets a target for life that has not been achieved. Some points he has circled. Some more he still thinks. There are many things that make Rian strong. As he was about to give up, he remembered how God had given him the opportunity to live. Until his life finally got better.

"I owe a lot to them. From now on, I have to think about all that. I can't be selfish thinking only of myself" Rian murmured.

A warm cup of coffee accompanied him tonight. Staring wide into the star-filled night sky. Her hair was slightly blurred by the night breeze. His increasingly thin body is proof that the many burdens and responsibilities he faces today.
