Between Asa And Taste

No need to argue

Rian sat pensively looking at the list of targets he had to reach. He felt that what he did would not be able to repay the services of everyone who had helped him. Until finally Lord Wira who entered his room resuscitated him.

"What's this?" ask Mr. Wira.

"Papa's home yet? I think it's still out of town" said Rian, who tried to divert the discussion.

"What is this question?" asked Mr. Wira while taking back the paper.

"No Pah. It's nothing" replied Rian.

"What's okay?" asked Mr. Wira while keeping the paper on the table.

The clashing of his hands made Rian flinch. He was surprised by the response of Lord Wira who was so angry with him.

"Papa angry?" ask Rian.

"Papa would like to discuss it outside. Come with Papa and bring the paper," replied Mr. Wira.

"Well, I'm sorry if I was wrong. But honestly I don't know where my fault lies" Rian said.

The Wira Master shook his head. He looked at Rian very closely.

"You want to know your mistake? Papa wait outside. Papa will explain what you did wrong," replied Mr. Wira.

Mr. Wira stepped out of Rian's room. Rian stared at the paper. He saw his writing from top to bottom. He was still at a loss as to what made Lord Wira so angry with him.

Rian again saw the nominal and description he wrote. He felt that the numbers and descriptions he wrote were appropriate. As for the difference in numbers according to him a reasonable thing. By calculation, Mia and Dion sacrificed much more for her.

Feeling that he had been staring at the paper for too long, Rian immediately came out. Let Lord Wira explain after he finally found no answer to the anger of his adoptive father.

When Rian went to the living room, there was already Mr. Wira and Mrs Helen there. He did not understand at all what provoked the anger of Lord Wira. Especially when all must be discussed with Miss Helen. What is the real problem that he has done?

"Sit down!" said Mr. Wira.

Rian sat down before Lord Wira. He still held the paper in full question.

"Where is the paper," asked Mr. Wira.

Rian handed the paper over without a sound. He just kept a lot of questions in his head.

"Look at this Ma" said Mr. Wira, handing over the paper to Mrs Helen.

Lady Helen read the paper she received. Slowly his forehead shriveled until finally his eyes looked sharply at Rian. Rian was increasingly confused by Lady Helen's expression after finishing reading her target list in the paper.

"What's in Rian's head?" ask Mrs Helen.

A question that Rian could not answer. He was confused by the question he received.

"Ma, to be honest I don't understand Mama and Papa's question. What's wrong?" ask Rian.

"You're still asking what's your fault? It's your fault, Rian" said Ms. Helen, showing the paper.

Rian was silent as Madam Helen answered her question in a fairly high tone. He could feel that his foster mother was angry with him.

"What'sthis? Target list? What target? A reply? You are really outrageous Rian," said Mrs Helen in tears.

"Ma, don't cry. I'm sorry if I was wrong. But I still don't understand. Who am I to make Mama so angry and sick?" ask Rian.

"Mom thinks you love Mama and Papa. I think you're really part of this family. It turns out that Mama was wrong. You don't consider Mama your mother at all" replied Mrs Helen.

"You are outrageous Rian," added Mr. Wira.

Rian could only swallow his saliva. He also felt guilty when he saw Lady Helen crying bitterly. I want her to hug and calm Miss Helen. But there's a Mr. Wira who's done it all.

"Ma, Pah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that everything I've done has hurt and disappointed you. I was wrong" said Rian.

"Mama doesn't want you to think about returning the favor. Because it means you don't consider us family. Where is the family's return?" said Mrs Helen on her sobs.

Rian only realized that what he was thinking was not accepted by them. The words he wrote were inappropriate. He immediately hunted down Lady Helen and prostrated himself at her feet in tears.

"Don't be angry Ma. I'm sorry. I'm mistaken. I had no idea this would hurt Mom and Dad. I just felt like my life was too lucky to meet this family" Rian said.

"I won't wake up until you forgive me" Rian said.

"Yes, Mama forgave you. Wake up Rian" said Mrs Helen.

Rian got up and sat down beside Madam Helen. He hugged the woman with great affection. Not wanting this misunderstanding to continue, Rian immediately explained that he loved Mrs Helen and Mr. Wira very much.

Living a long life but finally succeeding in becoming a leader in a big company is an impossibility, if only he did not meet them. A family full of warmth and sincerity. Rian had never expected that his life would turn one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Then why do you think to return the favor if you consider us family?" ask Mrs Helen.

"I just thought if what I got was too much. Then it is appropriate that I set aside my income for all this," replied Rian.

"You think when we leave we don't think about insurance for our children and grandchildren?" ask Mr. Wira.

"No Pah. It's not like that at all. I don't think so" said Rian.

Mr. Wira explained that the savings for his grandson's future had been prepared. Rian did not need to think of all that was not his responsibility. Seeing Rian already in charge of himself alone made Mr. Wira already happy and calm.

"Ri, is this why you haven't given home yet?" ask Mrs Helen.

"Not Ma. I just don't need a house yet" replied Rian.

"Why did you rent a house?" Ask Mrs Helen.

"That's because there's Rina. He's my friend who could be my confiding friend" replied Rian.

"Then why haven't you married Mpus yet? Is it because the money is busy you invest in return?" ask Mr. Wira.

Rian has not even informed Miss Helen if she has proposed to Riri. Yes though virtually, but the application has been accepted. Rian had also been saving up for the wedding party he had dreamed of all this time.

"You prepared everything? When did you enjoy your efforts? You are young to think too far" said Mr. Wira.

Yes, Rian always kept his money. From so many advantages he gained from his efforts, Rian always set it aside for various things. He never spent his money playing with his friends.

A fella? Ah might be able to say if Rian had no friends. The money he spent was only to pamper Naura and Narendra. When compared to his income, it was all nothing. He manages his finances very well.

If asked for what, Rian's answer will definitely make them think again. Rian felt that what he got was not entirely his. Sometimes he thought that one day he would be asked about the money he earned.

"I was quite happy when I met Mr. Manto and Kak Danu at the office. I also often have lunch or dinner with my colleagues. At home there are also Naura and Rendra. There was Mama and Papa too and the others. What is less?" said Rian.

Madam Helen immediately hugged Rian with great pleasure. He did not expect if Rian thought his family was so meaningful. He also shared Rian's life, which was only about work and family.

"When are you getting married? My mother will prepare everything. Think of this as a gift from Mama and Papa for your wedding," said Mrs Helen.

"There is no definitive discussion about Ma's marriage. I'm still waiting for Mpus" said Rian.

"Hey you're a man. You should be the one who gives certainty" said Mrs Helen.

There is a fear that makes Rian must prepare himself for Riri's answer, which may be very hard to agree. Today Riri is a leader at a large company in Germany. He thought Riri could not leave the company just because she married him.

Riri's answer that would probably be ninety-nine percent to stay there would have left her disappointed. But what can I do. In fact, he could not lose Riri from his life. He was even able to survive for almost two years not meeting with Riri.

Rian thinks he can pass through the household with a distance far apart. But what Rian is worried about is the response of Mr. Wira and the family who might not agree with Riri's decision.

"Yes Ma. Soon I will discuss all this with Mpus. Mama help pray yes let everything run smoothly," said Rian.

"certain. Mama will always pray for you Ri. You're Mama's son. There's no difference between you and Dion" said Mrs Helen.

It makes no difference? Even now Lady Helen feels closer to Rian than Dion, her own biological child. Dion, who was married and busy with his work, made them rarely meet. Once you meet, you cannot be like before. There was Mia and her two twins. Dion is no longer what he used to be.

Rian's presence is medicine when he misses Dion. That was the reason Madam Helen felt annoyed when Rian did not return home.

"When you marry Mpus, you'll stay here, right?" ask Mrs Helen.

The question that succeeded made Rian flinch. Return with sadness and heartache when discussing all that.

"Ma, don't burden Rian. His name is household, they want to be independent. Our job is to support only the important thing they are happy," said Mr. Wira.

Ma, Pah, no need to argue. Because maybe after marriage everything will not change. I'll stay here and Mpus there. Ah, how sad my life.
