Between Asa And Taste

Graduations

"You don't mind, do you?" ask Mr. Felix who managed to break Rian's daydream.

"Ah, yes." Rian spontaneously answered without knowing what question his father was asking.

"What are you thinking? Don't tell me you don't believe in Mpus" Felix said.

"Believe Pah. I believe it" said Rian.

"Good," said Mr. Felix.

Not too long, Riri immediately said goodbye. He did not want to make Mr. Aric disappointed. Mr. Felix also reminded Riri to attend Rian's graduation ceremony in a week.

"Yes Pah" said Riri.

"Don't forget to get ready for your scolding too" said Mr. Felix.

"Because of the scolding?" ask Riri.

"Mia will be here at graduation" replied Mr. Felix.

"Ah, I think I have to nag why," said Riri.

Arriving at Mr.'s house. Aric, Riri immediately lay down. He looked at the ceiling of his room. His eyes closed for a moment. Suddenly, her tears fell unbearably.

"What are you doing?" riri Gumam.

The shadow of his family is vividly reflected in his memory. Riri who had felt the time spinning very long, now he is in a different phase. Time passes so fast. It doesn't feel like he has to stay away from Rian.

We can get through it all, Mom. Hang in. Just one more year.

Riri moved many times. He was trying to find a comfortable sleeping position. Until he finally fell asleep.

"Riri, Riri," call Mr. Arics.

Slowly Riri opened her eyes. When I heard someone calling her, Riri fell asleep again. He felt it was just a dream.

But again he heard someone calling his name. Riri wriggled and gathered her consciousness. He began to realize that this was true. The voice was clear and close.

"Gosh, I'm bad luck" said Riri who looked at the wall clock.

He's coming out soon. Riri was surprised to find Mr. Aric was already standing in front of his room. Riri apologized immediately. He was so embarrassed by his reckless attitude. He also promised not to repeat it again.

Fortunately, Riri entered the afternoon class. He still has plenty of time to complete tasks that he has not been able to do. He had even prepared all the clothes and bags for Mr. Arics.

After making sure all her homework and college assignments were done, Riri sat back down to feel her tiredness today. There were still three hours before he finally went to college.

Shower and prepare not to be overdone. In front there is already a person who used to take Riri to wipe his car. He kindly greeted the driver. Not long after they went to campus along the streets are quite crowded.

When he got out of the car, Hiro came to him. Hiro invites Riri to go to the cafe later tonight. Riri's eyes looked at Hiro. He was not completely confused by Hiro's attitude.

"I can't" Hiro replied firmly.

"OK, okay. But don't be so angry. If you don't want it's okay" said Hiro casually.

Hiro's relaxed attitude makes it difficult for Riri to guess the purpose of Hiro approaching him. On the one hand, he had time to believe that Hiro was trying to interfere with his relationship with Rian. But seeing Hiro who never gets angry and never forces her, makes Riri feel ashamed of herself with her suspicions.

I feel so evil. I thought if my confidence was too high. What a beauty I am to think Hiro loves me. Maybe I'm overreacting. Hiro just needs a friend.

"Hiro, I'm sorry!" said Riri.

"No problem. You take it easy" said Hiro.

"We're friends, but I'm sorry I had to keep Mas Rian feeling" Riri said.

"I get. I'll talk to Mas Rian. I hope we can stay good friends!" said Riri.

"Yes. Thank you," said Hiro.

Make good friends? I just need you to make the bad guy upset and suffer. I was happy to make him uncomfortable. It felt satisfied as the man looked at me with a sharp look and clenched hands.

"Mas Rian," call Riri.

Riri was already unwell upon seeing Rian's arrival. His relationship with Hiro will definitely be a new problem again in his relationship.

"Mas, I just took her to the cafe. But he refused because he wanted to keep the feelings. Should be happy. She's a good woman. Watch him! Let no one make him turn away. Don't be sorry, Mas" said Hiro, waving his hand.

"What the hell is he," said Rian annoyed.

"Mas, stop. Hiro was just trying to joke with you. Don't be so serious with him" Riri said.

"I don't like it the most when you defend him that way" Rian said.

"Yes" said Riri.

Riri surrendered. He prefers to agree without having to explain things that Rian cannot accept. Giving up, would probably be the most appropriate choice. He was tired of arguing with Rian.

So and so. Riri always relented and agreed to every word Rian. Tired, but he began to enjoy it. Especially soon Rian will be far away with him. Maybe he will miss this moment.

Until graduation time arrives, Riri comes bearing flowers and greeting cards. Happiness mixed with sadness. Soon, Rian will return to Indonesia. Riri felt her life would be very different without Rian.

"Don't cry" said Rian as he rubbed the tears that had run down Riri's cheek.

"Mas," Riri said with a trembling voice.

Getting rid of her embarrassment, Riri hugged Rian tightly. He was not prepared to be far from the man who had been with him for almost three years.

"Well, let's go there first!" bring Mia.

Looks like Mia wants to give time to Rian and Riri. Although he was upset that he was not told during the application, he also felt what they felt.

"Well, did Papa know Riri's family?" ask Mia.

"No, yet" replied Mr. Felix briefly.

"Why can Papa easily apply for Riri?" ask Mia.

"Because Rian loves her. They love each other. I think that's enough" replied Mr. Felix.

"Then what if it turns out that Riri's parents will disagree?" ask Mia.

"Mpus is not a child anymore. He can take a stand later" replied Mr Felix.

The way Mr. Felix lives is indeed impressed relaxed. He does not want to bother with what is not necessarily the case. The problem of Riri's parents and family, that they have to face together later. He just doesn't want to lose Riri. Just like he lost Bu Ningsih back then.

Ah already. If he remembered all his stupidity at that time, he wanted to immediately go after the woman he loved the most. But the presence of Mia and Rian is a new spirit in the pain of his heart.

"Pah," called Mia while gently shaking her father's shoulder.

Mr. Felix took a long breath. He knew that Mia was aware of his daydream.

"There's me and Rian for Papa. We love Papa" said Mia, hugging Mr. Felix.

Yes, this time Mia went to Germany without Dion. Her husband is on an official trip to another country that cannot be left behind. Narendra and Naura go to school.

Actually, Mia realized that her presence actually made Mr. Felix miss his mother who had long gone. It shouldn't have happened if Mia had brought her twins.
