Between Asa And Taste

The cat

"Rian, what's wrong with you?" ask Mr. Felix when Rian is back.

"I'm fine, Pah," replied Rian.

Apparently Rian could not hide his feelings of disappointment towards Maudi in front of Mr. Felix. He immediately went into the room and avoided his father. Mr. Felix's question would corner him and Rian was not prepared for any of it.

"Rian, Rian, open the door!" said Mr. Felix.

"Bah, I want to be alone. Please give me some alone time" Rian said.

Rian still remained with his decision not to open the door of his room. He was really sick and wanted to be alone.

"What's going on? Did Mpus reject your love?" ask Mr. Felix.

Rian, who was dizzy with Maudi, grew dizzy when Mr. Felix accused him of being weird.

"It has nothing to do with Mpus. I'm okay, Dad. I just need some time alone" Rian said.

"Who does this have to do with? Maudi?" ask Mr. Felix.

Rian silent. He felt his heart getting torn apart when he heard that name. The woman who was clearly not good, but Rian still hoped that all of it was just a dream.

"Rian, is it all because of him?" ask Mr. Felix when Rian doesn't answer.

"No Pah. I'm it's okay. Everything's fine. I just need some alone time. So better Papa rest too. It's night, '" said Rian.

"Papa wants to talk to you. Just a minute, Rian. Papa can't rest if you don't want to talk to Papa" Felix said.

"It's not so Pah. I'm tired and want to sleep" Rian said.

"Yes if you don't want to talk to Papa, let Papa find information from Mpus. Papa's going to Mr. Aric and asked Mpus directly," said Mr. Felix.

To Mpus' house? Rian immediately got off his bed and opened the door.

"Well, dong came out. You're like the girl you asked to marry. Hang yourself in that room" said Mr. Felix.

"Bah, I'm not okay. And Mpus has nothing to do with any of this" Rian said.

"That means there's nothing with you. You why? Same story Papa," said Mr. Felix.

"Bah, I'm fine. Just cape and need a break" Rian said.

"Papa's known you long enough. You know when you are honest and lying. You can't hide your lies, Rian," said Mr. Felix.

Rian surrendered. Yes, Mr. Felix is right. He could not lie to his own father. Again he really needed people to express his disappointment. Maybe it's the right time for Rian to tell you everything.

"Bah, I'm sick. I'm disappointed. Maudi was not as good as I thought," Rian said in a trembling voice.

"Papa thought that all the sources of your grief were just him. It's good that you know the truth. He was not a good person, Rian. That's why Papa always forbids you to be with him" said Mr. Felix.

"But my heart still has not accepted all this reality Pah. I really feel like my world is falling apart" Rian said.

"Rian, you're so young. Your life path is still very long. Papa feels excessive if you judge a woman who is not good, while there are women who are clearly very good near you. Papa believes Mpus can replace Maudi's position in your heart" Felix said.

"I'm not sure. I'm just afraid that my heart can't be like this with other women" Rian said.

"Papa confused, what the hell makes you crazy about Maudi? Beauitiful? There are still many women who are much more beautiful. Clever? Papa thinks he's not so smart. Rich? It should not be your benchmark as a man to get a rich woman. Then what makes it so hard to forget about Maudi?" ask Mr. Felix upset.

"Ah, I don't know either. My love for Maudi has driven me crazy. I don't get it. Even then, when my head thought it was impossible to be with him, my heart still refused despite the pain. Rian ruffled his hair violently.

"It's not enough to see Maudi going out with your own best friend? Not enough of all his treatment that greatly disrespects you? Where is your pride as a man?" ask Mr. Felix.

Rian was getting frustrated when merass was cornered like that. He who wanted to tell Mr. Felix about his problem with Maudi, now abandoned his intentions. Apparently Mr. Felix's annoyance at Maudi made him lose control. Rian did not even find the mature and calming figure of Mr. FeliX.

Right now Rian feels Mr. Felix is following the emotions on Maudi. But he doesn't know that story yet. Then what if Mr Felix finds out? Wouldn't it just create new problems again?

"Papa keep your promise Rian. Papa doesn't want Maudi to just make your life crazy and your future a mess" Felix said.

"Yes Pah. I promise," said Rian.

After all the business with Mr. Felix was resolved, Rian lay back down. Enjoying such a cold night and wishing for the darkness of the night carries all the burdens of his life.

"Morning Pah," Rian said as he looked at Mr. Felix towards the dining room.

"You in the morning?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Siang Pah's. It's just, I want to leave earlier today," replied Rian.

Seeing Mr. Felix looking at him sharply, Rian immediately explained what was the cause of him leaving early.

"I want to meet Mpus Pah" replied Rian.

"good. The oat liver medicine is with a new heart. Papa believes Mpus can be the most effective medicine for you," said Mr. Felix.

"Papa could have. We're just friends with Pah" Rian said.

"Yes, it all starts with making friends, getting to know each other and being comfortable. Papa's waiting for mutual comfort between you. Until finally you introduce Mpus as your girlfriend," said Mr. Felix.

Rian just smiled and shook his head. He was ashamed of what Mr. Felix was talking about. The morning atmosphere that had returned to normal seemed to make the two more cheerful.

"Papa's leaving! Please send Papa's greetings to Mpus" said Mr. Felix.

"Yes, be careful!" rian said after kissing Mr. Felix's hand.

"Don't forget to do all your work" Mr Felix said shortly before his car drove out of the house.

Mr. Felix never demanded that Rian always defend his scholarship. But even so, Mr. Felix always reminded Rian to carry out his responsibilities as a student. He must learn and learn.

Rian immediately ran to his room when he heard the ringing of his cell phone. Mia contacted him and scolded him because it had been a few days Rian had not contacted her.

"I think Big Brother is busy so don't call me" Rian said in self-defense.

Yes, Rian admitted that he did not contact Mia. Apart from Mia not contacting him, he also felt that Riri's presence was enough to make him feel like there were new friends to share.

"If I hadn't called you, you should have called me. Or just giving news can be," said Mia.

"Yes Brother. I'm sorry. How's Narendra doing with Naura?" tanya Rian switched the conversation.

"Don't divert Rian's talk. Why didn't you call me? Are you busy with Maudi?" ask Mia.

"Maudi again. Never mind Brother, don't talk about Maudi anymore. I have cape," said Rian.

"You cape talking about Maudi? Since when?" mia asked in disbelief.

"Since today" answered Rian.

Mia kept teasing Rian. In addition to disbelief, but actually Mia also felt very happy with what happened with Rian.

"Are you getting closer to the cat?" ask Dion who's coming.

"Riri A, not the cat." Mia elbowed Dion.

"Mpus" answered Rian.

"Tuh Rian himself gave the name Mpus. It looks like a neighbor's cat, right?" ask Dion.

"Hussst, it's been ah there." Mia encourages Dion not to talk to Rian. "Rian, sorry!" continued Mia.

Rian actually felt comforted when he heard the debate between the two. He imagined the cuteness of Mia and Dion at this time. Even Rian hoped that his household would be like Mia. Not stiff and looks so warm.
