Between Asa And Taste

Between Asa And Taste
Crushed to pieces



Rian spent the night with a smile that continued to expand. His happiness because it was off the snares of Maudi very much he enjoyed. All thanks to Riri. It was always that woman who made Rian happy and calm.


"Did I love Riri?" rian asked himself.


Nah! Rian rejected his thoughts. He does not want his relationship with Riri as a friend to be messy. As he knows if Riri's trauma is severe enough about dating. He does not want Riri to stay away from him if it turns out that Riri does not want more feelings from him.


Thinking of his feelings for Riri makes Rian unable to control himself. He still could not sleep even though the clock on the wall had shown at one night time in Germany.


"Rian, Rian," called Mr. Felix with a slight shout.


Mr. Felix had to call Rian back when the door to his room was still tightly closed. Not to mention there was no Rian's word from inside the room. That confirms Mr. Felix's assumption that Rian is not awake yet.


"Yes Pah," Rian replied as he rubbed his eyes.


I don't know what call made Rian open his eyes. For sure, his head still feels so heavy. His eyes opened perfectly when he saw that the clock had shown seven o'clock.


"You just woke up?" ask Mr. Felix when the door is open.


Rian's red eyes and messy rambur clearly answered Mr. Felix's question at the time. Not to mention when Rian was still wearing clothes yesterday afternoon. Rian himself only smiled awkwardly and confused. Especially when he realized that today Rian has a morning schedule.


"What time's it in?" ask Mr. Felix.


"Morning Pah" replied Rian.


"Make and prepare. Papa wait for you in the dining room" said Mr. Felix.


"Yes Pah" replied Rian.


Upon seeing Mr. Felix leave from his room, Rian immediately ran to the bathroom and prepared. The long-rolled hand shirt showcases the beauty of God-made creatures. Especially with his favorite navy color. He seems so confident.


Before actually getting out of his room, Rian certainly did not forget to take his phone and snatched the bag containing his laptop.


Some perfume spray he lay almost all over the body. It makes Mr. Felix have to show his dislike. For him, this is too much.


"How many bottles?" ask Mr. Felix.


"I'm sorry, Pah" said Rian.


"You are like a girl" said Mr. Felix, shaking his head.


"Yes Pah sorry. After all, this is just me adding two more sprays than usual," said Rian trying to defend himself.


"What are two spray? It's a lot different than usual. Next time you don't do this" said Mr. Felix.


"Yes, yes" said Rian.


They had breakfast together and parted ways when they left home. The two start the day with a smile and morning spirit.


"Riaaaan," cried Maudi as Rian had just exited his car.


What the hell is this?


Rian frowned. He was confused by Maudi's shameless attitude. For him, yesterday's incident should be able to make Maudi deterred. But in reality, he still had to watch Maudi who seemed to have nothing happened.


"Pus," shouted Rian calling Riri as he saw Riri walking around the parking lot.


It was deliberately done so that Maudi left because of embarrassment with the presence of Riri. Again Rian was upset when Maudi was still hanging spoiled on his arm.


"Take off Maudi" said Rian, who was trying to stay away from Maudi.


"Why? Afraid she's jealous, huh?" maudi asked annoyed.


"Yes" answered Rian briefly.


"I told you that I won't let you be happy with Riri" Maudi said.


"As far as you. I don't care" said Rian.


"Are you jealous?" ask Maudi.


"Jealous? He said that jealousy is only for people who are not confident. And I've always been confident" Riri replied.


"So you don't love Rian, do you?" maudis asked reassuringly.


"I don't know. It's just that I know that Mas Rian does not love Mas anymore" replied Riri.


"That's your cheap mouth? I'll make you deterred" Maudi said, raising his hand and ready to slap Riri.


Maudi had to feel the growing annoyance when Rian caught his hand.


"Don't try to hurt Riri" Rian warned Maudi.


"The more you defend that cheap woman, the more I will make her suffer. Remember that Rian!" Maudi threatened Rian.


"Stop calling me cheap. I sold milk in my life. I admit that I did trade a part of my life for money. But I exchanged my time and services from my energy for tuition. While Mba? Changing self-esteem is only for the sake of an irresponsible man. So who's that cheap one?" said Riri.


"So the maid was like that. Especially if you are rich. But it seems like you are more suited like this" taunted Maudi.


"The rich are not necessarily happy. Why are treasures plentiful if Mba is unhappy?" said Riri.


"Whatchu mean? With money I can make myself happy" Maudi said.


"The evidence is that Mba can't buy Mas Rian? He said rich, but not happy because his love clapped one hand? Poor thing. It's so shiny. The patient one is Mba," Riri said as she rubbed Maudi's arm


Maudi who was very offended by Riri's remarks, he released Riri's hand from his arm so violently.


The spoiled complaint he reported to Rian. Hoping that Rian would defend her. But he forgot that Rian had changed. It's not the old Rian anymore. Rian who was under his control was no longer there. Now the man turned into a cold Rian to her.


"You are really against me" Maudi said.


"Nobody challenged. You are always looking for Maudi's problems" said Rian.


"Silent Rian! Right now I will let you be happy with everything you want while here. Remember, while here. But I assure you, I will always be your shadow when you return to Jakarta" Maudi said.


"I'll excuse you!" said Riri.


"Just go! I don't need your presence here" Maudi said.


Rian let Riri go so as not to get involved too far. But with his calm attitude, Rian believes that Riri can respond to Maudi's behavior on him.


"Maudi, I'm going to class too." Rian was the same, intending to block Maudi.


"Wait a minute!" saudi said as he pulled Rian's hand.


Rian's steps were restrained. Maudi immediately explained his arrival to the campus. Yes, not for college but to take care of his termination of college at the campus of his dreams.


Maudi also warned of his threat. He does not care if Rian will return after he has a wife and even children. Maudi assures Rian that he will always follow and disturb Rian until finally what he wants is realized.


"You're crazy, Maudi." Rian shook his head.


"Yes, I'm crazy. And you have driven me crazy" said Maudi.


"Whatever. I don't care" Rian said, leaving Maudi.


This time Maudi did not hold him back. He let Rian go leaving behind a million disappointed and deep chest wounds. But his grudges are getting bigger and imprinted in the deepest heart.


If I can't get my happiness, then I will make you unhappy. Now I'm losing, Rian. But I'm sure one day you will return to Indonesia. And then my revenge will begin.


Maudi rubbed the tears dripping on his cheeks. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. Strengthen his legs so that his steps reach his goal.


It's finished! Maudi has solved everything. He stands at the main gate of his dream campus. His eyes rolled to each end of his vast vision.


The tears came back. Feel the pain with the reality of life through which it passes. It collapsed completely at that moment. I don't know when he can reassemble that shattered-headed spirit and despair.
