The car had arrived in front of Riri's residence, but not a word he heard from Rian's mouth.
"Thank you Mas" said Riri softly.
That's Riri. He will always be friendly even though Rian has been very annoying. Suddenly Rian pulled his hand. The car door was closed by Riri.
"Why Mas?" riri asked confusedly.
Rian's eyeballs looked sharply into Riri's eyes. Without a word, Rian held Riri's hand and did not stop looking at her.
"What's up, Mom?" ask Riri again.
Rian let go of Riri's hand and rubbed his face violently. His breathing sounded heavy as he tried to throw his face away. Riri was increasingly clueless with Rian's attitude.
"I'm sorry" said Rian, looking down.
Rian could not control his feelings. He could not start a conversation with Riri.
"Mas, what's wrong?" riri asked while raising Rian's face.
"Forget it!" said Rian.
"Mas" said Riri.
"You just go in the house. Rest yes!" rian said with an attempt to widen his lips.
"I'm not going down before Mas story. What's up, Mas?" ask Riri.
"I, me," Rian stopped his words as his chest tightened.
"Why are you?" riri asked, confused.
"Do you love me?" asked Rian while looking down.
Rian did not dare to look at Riri for feeling ashamed of himself by her question. Especially when Riri did not answer his question.
"Oh, forget it. You take a break!" said Rian.
Rian had to feel disappointed when Riri did not answer his question. He immediately went down and entered his house after waving his hand.
"Aaaarrgh," Rian shouted as he struck the steering wheel.
Rian's worst trip home. But he should look fine when he gets home. After all, he did not want Mr. Felix to know his disappointment.
"Bah," said Rian when he got home.
Rian was completely shocked by Mr. Felix's whereabouts at home. He didn't think his father would come home before he came home.
"Have you come home?" ask Mr. Felix while putting a coffee cup on the table.
"Yes Pah. I don't think Papa's home yet" replied Rian.
"Papa wants to take you out to dinner. So Papa get ready first. You can, right?" ask Mr. Felix.
"Can Pah. Sure can. I've missed this moment" replied Rian.
Rian thinks that he can forget his disappointment with Riri by spending time with his father. But it turns out Mr. Felix actually asked Rian to invite Riri to come to his show.
"Mpus is busy Pah," lied Rian.
"Oh yeah?" ask Mr. Felix.
Disappointed look on Mr. Felix's face. Naturally, because in reality, Mr. Felix loved Riri so much. He already considered Riri as his own son.
Sorry, Pah. I had to lie. I just don't want our dinner to be a mess because of the clumsy attitude of me and Mpus.
"Can you get an Mpus number?" ask Mr. Felix.
"For what? Papa's afraid I'm lying?" Rian asked back.
"No. Papa just wants to say hello. If you can, Papa will arrange a schedule so that we can eat together" replied Mr. Felix.
"Other times. I'm afraid Mpus is at work. Papa knew for himself that Mpus was working for Mr. Aric?" rian reminded.
"Yes," said Mr. Felix.
Suddenly Rian's phone rang. He frowned when he saw Riri's name plastered on the screen of his phone.
"Who?" ask Mr. Felix.
"My friend" replied Rian.
Without waiting for long, Rian immediately went to the room and answered Riri's call. Chest thumping. He could not believe that Riri would contact him.
"Hello," said Rian when the call was connected.
"Mas, am I bothering you?" ask Riri.
"Ti-not at all. What's up?" asked Rian nervously.
"I just want to know if I'm okay?" ask Riri.
"certain. I'm doing fine. Why why anyway? You hear any news of the accident this afternoon?" ask Rian.
"No Mas. I just don't understand your question" replied Riri.
All because of you, Rey.
"I love you Mas" said Riri.
"Huh? What's?" rian did not believe it.
"Ah, already. Forget it," replied Riri.
Rian was smiling broadly. He was really happy to hear Riri's words.
"I've heard your answer" said Rian.
"I'm pissed at you Mas" said Riri.
"Why?" ask Rian.
"Why do I have to ask again? Didn't I ever say the same thing?" said Riri.
"The answer can change. And I'm just making sure that you're still loyal to your answer" Rian said.
"I don't think my answer will change unless Mas himself wants me to change my answer" Riri said.
"I don't want any answer other than the same answer. And it should always be the same" Rian said.
"certain. Don't worry" said Riri.
Rian tipped over on his bed to express a very extraordinary sense of happiness.
"Mas, hello. Mas," said Riri when Rian suddenly did not answer his words.
"Eh yes hello," said Rian.
"Where's the gas?" ask Riri.
"I exist. I'm always there for you" replied Rian.
"Ah, dreadlocks." Riri pretended not to care even though her cheeks were red.
"i'm serious. Oh yeah, I and Papa are having dinner out tonight." Rian is confused about how to take Riri to dinner with him.
"I'm going with Mas" said Riri.
"Huh?" ask Rian.
"Follow," replied Riri.
Rian's getting excited. He likes it when Riri is not much of a stale base.
"Come on! I'll pick ya up! Just so you convinced me that Mr. Aric won't be fussing about your departure" Rian said.
"Just calm. Mr. Aric is not home" Riri said.
After the call ended, Rian immediately searched for his father. He wanted to deliver this happy news.
"So you lied?" asked Mr. Felix who was standing in front of his room.
"Why are you nagging?" ask Rian.
"Not just eavesdropping. Papa also saw clearly how you were somersaulted in joy" replied Mr. Felix.
Rian couldn't dwell when Mr. Felix knew everything. It's not Mr. Felix's fault, because it turns out Rian forgot to close the door to his room. He also did not realize that since then his father stood looking at his silly behavior.
"Your face is getting handsome if it blushes like that" mister Felix sneered while holding back his laughter.
Rian rubbed his face.
"I used to be Pah" said Rian.
"Mandi and get ready. Because tonight will be a special night for you. You're going to go with the woman you love and love, '" tempt Mr. Felix.
"Papa" said Rian shyly.
"Yes Papa has returned to the room" said Mr. Felix.
Upon arriving at his room, Mr. Felix sat on the edge of the bed. He re-imagined Rian who is getting older and will marry the best woman of his choice.
"I can't be selfish. Rian deserves to be happy with his best woman. I am quite lonely. I won't make you lose the woman you love Ri the most" murmured Mr. Felix.
The aging man immediately stood up to his closet. Choosing clothes that have been lined up neatly in his closet.a maroon shirt he chose with black pants for dinner this time.
His show was not formal until he did not have a shirt for the event this time. Of course this is a joke of its own for Rian. Mr. Felix's habit of always being comfortable with shirts makes Rian feel surprised by his father's choice of clothes this time.
"You want to be a bad boy?" ask Mr. Felix.
Rian could only hold back his laughter. But basically he was happy when he saw Mr. Felix so relaxed.
"I like Pah. It's cool" Rian said.
"Once again you mock me, I won't forgive you." Mr. Felix seems annoyed by Rian's taunts for him.
"Yes, yeah. I was quiet" said Rian.
