Between Asa And Taste

Full service

Rian continued his work with great enthusiasm. He was calm when he found out that his wife was happy at home. Right now, there was nothing happy for him except to see Riri happy.

"I came home late today" Rian said in a phone call.

"Where's it going?" ask Riri disappointed.

"I'm in the office. I just finish the work that piles up. Now Mr. Manto does not exist" said Rian.

Riri understood and accepted. It doesn't matter, after all, there are now parents at Miss Helen's house. At the very least, Riri did not feel too lonely in that house.

"Mrs, sorry if my presence interfered with your time." Miss Risa looked down respectfully.

"Don't do that. We are besan. Mother is part of this family. Except for the other mother's child" said Ms. Helen.

Lady Helen sees Riri's biological mother as having a dual personality. She seems to be a very evil mother when she is with Rara. But when without Rara, Madam Helen saw the sincerity of Miss Risa.

"Well, the food is good. Can I have another one?" said Mr. Beni.

Actually it was just the efforts of Riri's biological father so that Lady Helen stopped talking about Rara. As a father, his heart would not be willing if his child is humbled by others. Moreover, that person is his own besi. Rara is evil, but she's still her biological child. Same with Riri, Rara is also entitled to his affection.

"Can, can. Please. Enjoy all the dishes here. This is all I can prepare" said Mrs Helen.

"This is more than enough, ma'am. Thank you," said Mr. Beni.

"Don't call me Madam. Just call Nathalie" said Mrs Nathalie.

"Ah, where might we be presumptuous. Let us keep calling the Madam, ", said Mr. Beni.

"Then just call besan," said Mrs Helen.

When the conversation was not over, Mr. Wira came and chatted. Even Mr. Wira has not opened his suit and bag. He really appreciates Pak Beni and Bu Risa even though they are different on a social level.

"Rian hasn't come home yet, Pus?" ask Mr. Wira.

"Yet, Pah. He said he came home late today. Understandably there is no Mr. Manto," replied Riri.

"Pus?" ask Miss Risa.

Yes, Miss Risa can only frown when Mr. Wira asks the person called Pus. Especially when Mr. Wira looked at Riri and Riri replied. And indeed Pus' call was for his son.

"Oh yes I forgot. Sorry Mom, Riri was called Mpus with her husband. He said it was a call, dear" said Mr. Wira.

"Oh so," said Miss Risa while nodding.

'Mpus kok call darling. Everywhere calling Mpus is like a cat. You rich man. Weird.'

Mr. Wira said goodbye after feeling uncomfortable with his clothes. After a long day of wearing the clothes, he felt like he had to take a shower. The body feels very sticky even though all day in the air-conditioned room.

"Pus, take your parents to his room. Let them rest. Mama wants to accompany Papa first. It will be called Aunt when it is time for dinner, yes" said Mrs Helen.

"Yes, Ma." Riri nodded with a happy smile.

This is what Riri wanted all along. He can live with the people he loves and loves. It was just that he had to accept the fact that his parents could only be there for two days. But it was enough to let go of his longing.

"Ri, you're lucky to live in a palace like this. Mama is also happy to see you are very dear to them," said Ms. Risa when she was in her room.

Miss Risa returned Riri's embrace very tightly. He even stroked Riri's hair. While Mr. Beni just looked down weakly. He felt that Riri's speech was a sword that had poured into his heart. It hurts when you realize that Riri's speech is just an innuendo according to him.

How could Riri possibly call them good while what they had done was already outrageous. Decides to marry off the man Riri loves with his own biological brother. It was really very evil and embarrassing according to Mr. Beni. But at the time, that was all he could do.

"If Rara were as lucky as you. Mama must be the happiest mother in the world" said Ms. Risa.

That's when, Miss Risa began to retell the story of Rara which she thought was very tragic. Without realizing it, the story opens up Riri's wounds that have almost healed. The pain came again when he remembered how insignificant he was in the family.

"Ma, everyone already has their own way of life. We cannot regret it because we have decided to take that step" Riri said, holding back tears.

"You're lucky. God chose you to be a lamp when we were dark. God chose you to be solid concrete when we were all fragile" said Mr. Beni as he rubbed Riri's back.

"Bah, I love you all. Including Rara. I've forgotten all that past. But why does Rara always corner me? Am I always to blame?" riri said while rubbing the corner of her eyes.

"He's just disappointed. That'sthat's all. Don't hate him" said Miss Risa.

Riri was even sadder when she felt that Bu Risa was defending Rara. Though all this time what Rara did was very outrageous. Rara herself took the man she loved back then. But the man's affair makes Rara take revenge on him. And that's very unfair. Especially when the defense is always spoken from both parents.

"I don't want Rara like this at all. Why do I always feel guilty? I'm married to Mas Rian alone it's enough. I'm happy with my future" Riri said, covering her face that had begun to get wet with tears.

"Ri, Papa understands. But you should know that Rara is just disappointed. You forgive him yes. Papa knows you're a good boy and loves Rara. Aye right?" said Mr. Beni.

Riri just sobbed. He could not answer what Mr. Beni said. Because his heart is doubtful. Does he really love Rara now? After what he did to her? Ah I don't know.

"Honey," call Rian.

Rian's call and the sound of knocking on the door made Riri immediately wipe her face. No more tears, but the rest of the sadness was still very clearly depicted on Riri's beautiful face. Of course that's a big question for Rian.

"You crying?" rian asked when the door was open.

Rian's eyes stared intently at his wife's face and then circulated his gaze into the room. Searching for the answer to her question as Riri simply shook her head. Riri's parents who looked agitated made Rian frown.

"Mas, I was just crying happily because I was finally able to get together with my parents" Riri said.

"You sure?" search Rian.

Riri nodded. She was also quick to tell her parents to take her husband to change clothes. Linger there will only make Rian continue to find out the reason for crying. And that's not good.

"Mas, how's the job? Done already?" riri asked while helping Rian open the suit from Rian's body.

"Are you happy today?" ask Rian.

Ignoring the trite question, Rian reassured himself of Riri's condition. Rian would most not like to see his wife grieve let alone cry.

"Mas, stop being suspicious of my family. They're my mom and dad. Where could they hurt me" Riri assured Rian.

"Pus, listen to me." Rian grabbed Riri's shoulder and shook her slowly.

His gaze was sharp and brought Riri a serious talk of his worries. Riri hugs Rian when she realizes his attitude is the way Rian shows his love.

"I love you, Mom. I'll give you service. But now take a shower. Soon it's dinner time" said Riri.

Rian grinned mischievously when promised full service by his wife. It's been imagined what he'll be like tonight. But his dirty thoughts are dissolved when Riri encourages Rian to take a shower immediately.
