Between Asa And Taste

Excuse me

"Aren't you afraid that you've laughed at your own father?" asked Mr. Felix when he saw that Rian had already started breakfast in the dining room.

Rian just laughed at his father's annoyed remark.

"Papa cape huh?" rian asked while giving two layers of chocolate flavored bread.

"No" replied Mr. Felix.

"But I like to see Papa's spirit. Papa has returned to be the Papa I knew before," said Rian.

"Ah, how many times has Papa heard that sentence. Never mind. Papa is bored" said Mr. Felix.

"Let's not get bored how about we go to the office? We started fighting again this morning" Rian said.

"Ri, come. It's a holiday. Do you want to spend all your time just working? You can get old fast" said Mr. Felix.

"I know it's a holiday. But we can do office work. Instead of us wasting time is not clear" said Rian.

"We must enjoy our vacation time, so that the time is not wasted. Where are we going today? Do you have any ideas?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Bah, same thing. We should have done some work in the office today. As Papa knows, the employees in the office have shrunk. It means more and more of our work" said Rian.

"There's something you've forgotten, Ri. The holidays will make our spirits grow back. We have to refresh ourselves. Let's not mumble," said Mr. Felix.

Rian silent. Yeah, humane. It is only natural that he wants a vacation too. He wanted to spend time with his father all day. Enjoying the free time. Free from the pile of files and laptop light that makes his eyes sore.

"Take Mpus!" said Mr. Felix.

Uhuuk. Uhukk..

Rian choked on hearing Mr. Felix's words. He becomes reminded of Rey who asked him to surprise Riri on a date.

"Why are you?" ask Mr. Felix.

"It's okay, Pah," replied Rian after drinking.

"Why? You guys are on a rampage, aren't you?" ask Mr. Felix.

"No Pah. We're fine" replied Rian.

"Why should you be surprised to hear the name Mpus?" ask Mr. Felix.

"It's okay. I just feel weird, Pah." Rian resumed his breakfast.

"Well where?" ask Mr. Felix.

"It's a holiday. Why take Mpus? He is not our family. He must have his own busyness dong," replied Rian.

"Ri, he's your friend and Papa thinks he's Papa's own son. As far as Papa is concerned, is he also in trouble with his parents? What's wrong with taking her on vacation? Making people happy can be a reward" Felix said.

Rian did agree with Mr. Felix's statement. But it's not good either. Riri's here besides college, she works. His working hours are uncertain and tied to the person who hired him.

"Excuse me," I heard a woman's voice from outside the house.

The two stared at each other. Their inner selves guessed whose voice had entered his eardrum. Rian's heart trembled. Suddenly his chest was pounding.

"Mpussy. That's Mpus' voice, right?" ask Mr. Felix.

Mr. Felix's question made Rian's chest uncontrollable. The guess is the same. The voice was well known to Rian's ears, but he wasn't sure Riri had come to see him while on holiday.

Not wanting to expect too high, Rian immediately dismissed his feelings. He tried to be calm and look for other possibilities.

"Maybe the package delivery. Papa order something?" ask Rian.

"Ri, he said excuse me. It means he's from Indonesia. Papa believes it must be Mpus" replied Mr. Felix. "Let's look there!" continued.

Rian also agreed. The only Indonesian woman who came to his house were two people. Otherwise Mia ya Riri. Since Mia couldn't possibly come today, Rian was actually convinced that it was Riri's voice. But he was afraid of being wrong and disappointed.

"Excuse me" the woman shouted once more.

"You mostly think. Yes, let Papa open the door" said Mr. Felix.

Rian didn't arrest Mr. Felix. He let his father open the door while he followed behind him. And Rian's eyes were perfectly rounded when he found out that the guest was really Riri.

"Pus" said Rian slowly.

"Haiy, Mpus. Come inside!" take Mr. Felix with a loud voice.

Riri grabs Mr. Felix's hand and kisses him.

"What's healthy?" ask Rian.

"Sound dad. You're healthy too, right?" Mr. Felix asked back.

Mr. Felix brought Riri into the house. Ignoring Rian who stood looking at Riri's arrival.

"Hey Pah's. I'm here" said Rian.

Rian only regained his senses when the sound of the door closing was loud enough, while he himself was still sculpting outside.

"Eh, are you outside?" ask Mr. Felix stale.

Rian simply shook his head and sighed deeply. He eventually follows Mr. Felix and Riri who are sitting in the living room. Watching Riri and her father tell a story.

"Ri, bring me a drink and a snack for Mpus dong. How are you even quiet?" said Mr. Felix.

"Huh?" rian asked in surprise.

"Get me a drink and a snack" said Mr. Felix once again.

"No need to Pah. Let me just," said Riri who did not feel good to see Rian's clumsy attitude.

"It has. You are a guest. Let Rian bring you drinks and snacks" said Mr. Felix.

"Said Papa I'm Papa's son too. It means I'm not a guest in this house. So I can take my own food and drink" said Riri.

"Yes, anyway." Mr. Felix nodded his head. "It's up to you" continued Mr. Felix.

"I think Papa's coming to the office" said Riri.

"You're the same Rian is very compact anyway. It's a holiday, Papa can't enjoy the holidays?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Eh, it's not so Pah. I just want to know," said Riri not tasty.

"That should be Papa. What the hell are you here for? Is it necessary or just because you miss this handsome bachelor Papa?" ask Mr. Felix.

Mr. Felix saw Rian's face flushed red. It seems that Rian is very wrong. Rian could not hide his feelings.

"I came here because Mas Rey asked me to accompany Mas Rian. He said today Mas Rian is going to the office. I think who knows I can help" said Riri casually.

"Rey?" ask Mr. Felix.

"Yes Mas Rey. Mas Rian's classmates. Papa doesn't know?" Riri asked back.

"Yes, yeah. I know him" said Mr. Felix.

Mr. Felix's gaze was directed at Rian. He saw Rian suddenly awkward. Yeah, it's all because of Rey.

"You should thank me. Thanks to Rey, Mpus came here. If it wasn't for Rey, you'd only miss Mpus all day. Papa give time to you two. Make Mpus comfortable with you" whispered Mr. Felix.

"Well, where are you going?" riri asked as he saw Mr. Felix leave his seat.

"Papa's got business for a minute. We'll talk again!" said Mr. Felix.

"Mas, today we're not going to the office?" ask Riri.

Rian was grateful that Riri looked so calm and started a conversation. Because to be honest, Rian didn't know what to say.

"Ti-no Pus," replied Rian nervously.

"Mas is okay, right?" riri asked while observing Rian's state.

"Yes" answered Rian.

Rian tried to take a deep and long breath. He tried to calm himself down so that he could talk to Riri.

"So Rey asked you here?" ask Rian.

"Yes," replied Riri.

"Why do you want to?" ask Rian.

"Why do you want to? What do you mean, Mas?" Riri asked back.

"Well, you have no activities today? What about Mr. Aric?" ask Rian.

"No. I have no activities today. Mr. Aric is on a visit and won't be home until tomorrow" Riri replied.

"Then why didn't you choose to spend the day with Rey instead?" ask Rian.

"Mas Rey didn't invite me," Riri replied innocently.

"So if Rey takes you, you want to?" ask Rian.

"Why not? Rey is my friend" replied Rian.

Huh huh? He's totally innocent. Don't you know I'm jealous, Pus? Don't you know that I love you? Ah, why should this love come back I feel for the wrong person?

Yes, Rian thinks his love for Riri is a mistake. The insensitive Riri only made him hurt.

"Mas, have you had breakfast yet?" ask Riri.

"Already" answered Rian.

"Well, when I was cooking. Yes it is not so," said Riri.

"Papa hasn't had breakfast. If you want, Papa wants to try your homemade food dong." Mr. Felix suddenly came.

Papa hasn't had breakfast? What was his name then? Have breakfast?

"really?" Let me make it, Pah," said Riri happily.

"Thank you in advance. Come please. That's the kitchen" Mr. Felix took Riri to the kitchen.
