Between Asa And Taste

PLAK

Every time Riri recounted his anxiety to Mr. Felix, he was always convinced that the current focus had to be changed. For now the most important thing is the readiness of his biological father to become a guardian. While the problem with his brother can he mess around after everything is finished.

Riri had to finish his business in Germany before returning to Indonesia to get married. There were some things he had to finish in order for everything to go according to his plan.

"May all be well" murmured Riri.

Time continued to run while Riri's affairs were still not finished. Even Mr. Felix stepped in to get things done on time. In different countries they are busy with different affairs. Although their main purpose is the same, it is about marriage.

Until the time comes Riri must return to Indonesia. Riri is not alone, he is accompanied by Mr. Felix. It feels very happy, the return that has been very much awaited it is finally in sight.

"You sick?" asked Mr. Felix when he saw Riri pale.

"No Pah. Maybe because of lack of sleep alone," replied Riri.

Cold sweat was seen several times dripping on his temples. Moistened his increasingly pale face. The first time he will meet his family. More accurately, his entire family.

"Don't be afraid. Papa will accompany you," said Mr. Felix when he reached Indonesia.

Riri raised her face and looked at Mr. Felix. Her wet hand in tension touched Mr. Felix's hand.

"Seriously dad?" ask Riri.

"Yes. Why?" Mr. Felix asked back.

"Bah, thank you very much. Sorry it's just that I can't believe that Papa will accompany me to meet them" replied Riri.

"Papa knows you're not ready for all this. But you should know, what you're going through should have made your shoulders stronger. Little things like that shouldn't scare you anymore" Felix said.

Riri took his hand off Mr. Felix. He knew Mr. Felix had a point. But he was also unprepared for the reality he was about to face. The conversation about marriage has already happened. But the family refused the marriage Riri who felt too sudden. Especially simple. Because they know Riri is already a boss who has a lot of money.

"They said I was too cheap" said Riri, turning his face away.

Mr. Felix observed that Riri was crying. He saw Riri rub the corner of his eye while turning his face away from him. Slowly he tugged at Riri's shoulder, making the girl stare at his eyeballs.

"They're who?" ask Mr. Felix.

"My mother and sister. Uncle and aunt also said the same thing," Riri replied with teary eyes.

"Then your father?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Papa. Papa will be my guardian at my wedding. But they don't want to attend my ceremony. Only Papa will be present," replied Riri, looking down to drop tears that he could not bear.

"Papa love you. Many love you. What makes you cry? Because they are not present? Or for their reasons?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Their reasons. Why do they still charge money? Why is money always a top priority?" asked Riri annoyed.

"Just let them not be present for that reason. Because they will regret it later. Your wedding will be televised live" Felix said.

"Huh?" riri asked with a face of disbelief.

Her gaping mouth made Mr. Felix laugh and immediately clenched back the tiny mouth.

"Later the same mosquito flies in" said Mr. Felix with a laugh.

Riri had no intention of laughing at all. He only focused on the words of Mr. Felix that he heard. The information really surprised him. Rian said nothing at all. He will only prepare everything simply.

"really?" ask Riri.

"Duh, the surprise failed. But Papa please don't tell your family! Papa just wants to see who really loves you sincerely" replied Mr. Feliz.

Riri nodded. The surprise made him not believe. But on the other hand, he also felt uncomfortable when what he considered sacred actually became public consumption. But he also realized that Rian was the one being highlighted. What they will pass must be known by the public.

"It's because of Mas Rian's fear of bad comments right?" ask Riri.

"It doesn't matter to you?" Mr. Felix asked back.

"No," Riri replied as she shook her head.

They both headed for Riri's house. There was already a Riri family there. Riri was warmly welcomed by her father. The warm embrace made Riri cry. Not long after his mother disbelieves and hugs Riri. Right now Riri feels the world is on her side.

"Mama and Papa are healthy?" riri asked while kissing their hands in turn.

"Healthy" they answered.

"Oh yes Ma, Pa, this is Papa Felix. He was my family when I was in Germany" Riri said, introducing Mr. Felix.

Riri's father and mother greet Mr. Felix. A small but warm chat took place between the three of them. Until finally Mr. Felix discussed the marriage of Riri and Rian. Suddenly her brother Riri came and made the atmosphere heat up.

"Ma, stop. There was no point in being present at such a cheap event. Riri is stupid. He's already the boss. Her husband-to-be said she was also the boss. But marriage is like being caught. Shame on me" said his brother.

Riri wanted to defend herself. But Mr. Felix held him. He tried to explain the circumstances that caused the marriage to be held simply.

"Tuh Ma's. Moreover, the reason for just wanting to please someone. What if that person dies? Is the wedding over?" said brother.

"Good Brother. It's not like that. We love each other and we are getting married. It's just that the marriage accelerated," said Riri.

Suddenly his mother's attitude changed. The middle-aged woman who was originally so warm suddenly changed. He refused to attend the wedding. I even tried to cancel the wedding.

"Ma, don't be. It's been enough for Riri to suffer all this time. Let Riri be happy with his choice" his father said.

"Bah, but Riri is our son. Mama is not sure Riri will be happy if the marriage is just careless like this," said Riri's mother.

"Ma, don't be. Our marriage is not perfunctory. I really love Mas Rian. I would be happy if I married the man of my choice" Riri said.

"Because Mama knows you love her so much. You don't want to be stupid just for love. Don't want to be fooled by that man" said his mother.

"Ma, stop. Riri is not a child. He can make his own choices" his father said.

"Riri, getting married is to make us happy. Happy must be with money. Don't deify love. Life will not be happy only with love" said his brother.

"Enough Brother. I lost my happiness at that time. And brother is the cause of my loss of happiness. I will not lose my love a second time. If you and your mom don't want to come, I don't mind. I just need Papa," Riri said in a trembling tone.

Not only the Riri family, Mr. Felix was also surprised by Riri's attitude. He looks so fiery. Never had he seen Riri that angry.

"How dare you say that?" ask her sister in a much higher tone.

"What is the reason I don't dare? I deserve to fight for my happiness," Riri replied in a defiant tone.

"You're already arranged. If you suffer, who will turn it back to? Here too, right?" said brother.

"Oh yeah? Then if according to Brother the treasure can make us happy, how are you brother who turned out like this? Is this the definition of happy sister?" riri said with a cynical smile.

A loud slap landed on Riri's cheek. He did not shy away from that slap. He just returned to smiling sinisterly and touching his hot cheeks.

"What are you doing?" ask father.

Her father tried to rub Riri's cheek and calm her down. But Riri took off that hand and smiled.

"I'm fine, Pah," said Riri.

"What your brother did because he loved you. Understand" said his mother.

"Thank you for the slap. Thanks for everything. My mother no longer had to defend her. I know what and who I am here for. Excuse me," said Riri. "Come on Pah!" he continued, pulling Mr. Felix's hand.

"Wait for Ri" said her father.

"Leave it. Do not be detained if indeed he can not accept the love of his family," said his mother.

"Just go! Never set foot in this house again" cried her brother.

Riri. His chest is already rumbling. If it were possible, he would very much have kept their mouths shut with the money he currently had. But he could not put his emotions forward at the moment.

"Don't worry. I will never set foot in this house again. But whatever happens, don't ever call me again for any reason. My sorry door is closed for my brother. I can only accept Mama if one day Mama changes. Even though I know Mama will never change while still under your influence," said Riri.

Without listening to the rant from her brother, Riri had already passed away from the house. His firm grip on Mr. Felix seemed to ask for help for the pain that had been raining too deep.

"Don't cry. Do not show you are weak in front of your opponent. Keep smiling" whispered Mr. Felix.

Riri tried to follow what Mr. Felix said. He held back the tears that almost fell from his eyes. As he got further away, he waved his hand with a sinister smile.

"cry. Your opponent no longer exists. Spill all your sadness now before you meet with Rian" said Mr. Felix.

Without waiting for long, Riri immediately cried bitterly. His sobs made Mr. Felix open his glasses and wipe the corner of his eye. He was sick when he witnessed the incident.

"You didn't lose. Papa saw you win. You won Pus. Papa is proud of you" said Mr. Felix.
