Between Asa And Taste

Bicker

The cornered Rian immediately ended his call with Mia. In his solitude, Rian looked at himself at the reflection of the mirror. Mia's question came back shortly before the call ended.

Choose Riri or Maudi? I don't even know what my heart is like now. I still love Maudi. But why do I feel so curious about Riri's life?

"Rian, how?" ask Mr. Felix.

"What is Pah?" rian asked confusedly.

Rian was surprised by the arrival of Mr. Felix. He was also confused by the unclear question. But apparently Mr. Felix is still curious about the installment Riri. Rian also explained Riri's first installment.

"So just because of love she's a maid?" ask Mr. Felix.

"I don't know if it's related or not. Mpus only said that he was numb because he was left married. It's a miracle, Pah," said Rian.

"Be careful. Papa is worried that you will be the same fate as Mpus" said Mr. Felix.

"Huh? How to be to me anyway Pah," said Rian.

"Are you not afraid of marriage with Maudi?" ask Mr. Felix.

Rian silent. He is still very afraid of losing Maudi forever. Although Maudi is now Rey's boyfriend, Rian still hopes that he will marry Maudi someday.

"The carpus is a strong and powerful woman. His bitter experience in a taste made Mpus determined to make his asas. Not like you" said Mr. Felix.

"What am I really?" ask Rian.

"You're the opposite. You almost lost control because of a false sense. Fighting for the feelings you shouldn't struggle with is the biggest mistake in life. Papa suggests you learn a lot from Mpus" said Mr. Felix patting Rian on the shoulder.

Rian saw the figure of Mr. Felix went further and further until he did not catch the shadow at all. Rian imagines that Maudi is actually married to Rey. He shuddered and immediately rubbed his face.

"Dining outside yuk!" bring Mr. Felix.

"By Pah," answered Rian excitedly.

It's sunday night. The atmosphere outside will be very crowded. Rian and Mr. Felix have long since never enjoyed a Sunday night outdoors. Usually they just spend the night in front of the television and discuss about Rian's college.

"Come on!" invite Rian excited after wearing a navy jeans jacket.

"Who do you want to see?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Who did I meet? We're going to have dinner outside, right? Yes definitely met a lot of people dong," replied Rian.

"Special person?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Papa is a special person in my eyes" teased Rian.

"You can be a tombal so not to Mpus?" god Mr. Felix.

Possible again. Rian tried to upset Mr. Felix but eventually he got hit again. Looks like Mr. Felix is a matchmaker for Rian and Riri's family line.

"Let's ah go!" bring Rian.

Mr. Felix just laughed looking at the irritated Rian. He followed Rian after grabbing his brown jacket tucked away on the chair.

"Where is Pah?" ask Rian.

"Papa's going to a nice cafe. You take your right in the front" replied Mr. Felix.

"Cafe what's the name?" ask Rian.

"Cafe what's the name, Papa forgot. The new cafe. Have a friend Papa," replied Mr. Felix.

"New cafe?" ask Rian.

"Yes. It's only been open for a month" replied Mr. Felix.

Rian looked at Mr. Felix. Cafe that has been open for a month is still said to be a new cafe. Is it just because they really never go out on nights like this?

They both enjoyed the night they missed so much. A light and warm chat accompanied them until they reached their destination.

"Well it's in front of the stop" Felix said, pointing to the lavish cafe across the street.

"This is the place?" ask Rian.

"Yes. Nice right?" said Mr. Felix.

Rian nodded. Not only good, it's very luxurious. Many visitors make Rian sure if the food there must be delicious. His saliva had already melted imagining his dinner menu.

"Come pah!" get Rian excited.

Both entered the luxurious cafe. Many people are enjoying the food served at their table. Rian saw almost all the benches filled up until they were finally startled by someone approaching.

"You guys just got here?" ask Mr. Felix's friend.

"Yes, I'm sorry I just got here" replied Mr. Felix.

"No problem. I understand you're busy" said Mr Felix's friend.

Rian looked confused to see the chatter of the two who were so familiar and fluent in Indonesian. Luckily Mr. Felix realized what Rian was thinking.

"Rian, this is Papa's friend. He is native from Indonesia and successfully opened several cafes here. This is his fifth cafe" said Mr. Felix introduced his friend.

"Hallo, Sir. I'm Rian" Rian said, kissing Mr. Felix's friend's hand.

"Don't call me Taun. Call me om only. Play here often. We are one country" said Mr Felix's friend.

"certain. I will be here again sometime" replied Rian.

"If he comes here with a girlfriend, let me know. I want to know who the first woman he's going to eat here is" Mr Felix said.

Rian smiled embarrassedly at Mr. Felix's words. Mr. Felix's friend laughed at Mr. Felix's words.

"Leave it. It's time to get to know the woman he's getting married to" said Mr Felix's friend.

"Hussst, married. He's still very young. College is only the third semester" said Mr. Felix.

"To get to know each other takes time. It's enough to know each other from now on" said Mr Felix's friend.

"Ah done. Don't talk about it anymore. Oh yeah, I see this cafe is full" said Mr. Felix.

"Yes, Sunday night is usually a lot of visitors. But you guys just calm down. For you, I will prepare a special place. Follow me!" bring Mr. Felix's friend.

They sat in a special room with very beautiful decorations. Natural shades, soothing green. Making Rian instantly miss Indonesia. Before long, came two waiters carrying Indonesian and German specialties.

"Rian, at least this will treat your longing for your hometown" said Mr. Felix's friend.

Rian smiled broadly at the menu before him. He is happy and grateful. After the cafe owner left the two of them, Rian immediately devoured his food.

"Are you hungry?" asked Mr. Felix when he saw Rian was very greedy.

"I miss Indonesian food Pah," replied Rian who then continued eating again.

Mr. Felix shook his head.

"Slowly. Choking later" said Mr. Felix.

"Yes," Rian replied as he nodded with a mouth filled with food.

After the meal, the two paid a farewell to the owner of the cafe who is Mr. Felix's best friend. With their stomachs full, they returned home. But unfortunately on the road Rian saw a woman in a dispute with a man. The car stopped for a moment.

"Don't interfere in people's affairs" Felix said.

"But he's Maudi" Rian said after believing the woman was in a row.

"Leave it. You don't have a problem with him, do you?" ask Mr. Felix.

"But Maudi my friend Pah," said Rian.

"friends only. The road!" mr Felix's orders.

Rian returns to his car despite his head being filled with big question marks. Who's the guy with Maudi? He's not Rey. Then why are they bickering on the street like that? What's the matter with them?

"Consider your path!" said Mr. Felix.

"Yes Pah" replied Rian.

Until the car stops in front of the house, Mr. Felix goes first into the house. From his attitude, Rian was sure his father was being disappointed in him. But Rian couldn't lie to her either. He was worried about Maudi.

After entering the room, Rian tried to contact Maudi but his call was ignored. Rian stared at his phone screen with a puzzled look.

Did I find out to Rey, huh?

Rian pressed Rey's name on his phone. But not long ago he recanted his intentions. He doesn't want Rey to take him to complaining about sheep.

Rey knows what happened to Maudi. I better get some sleep now.
