Between Asa And Taste

Costs are expensive

"Come from here, you go meet Mpus. Papa doesn't want the distance to get you further" Felix said.

Rian nodded and smiled looking at Mr. Felix who was looking at him sharply. The figure of the father who always makes him feel not alone.

"Don't go home if you haven't finished everything" Felix said before he left.

A challenge that he thinks is very heavy, because he can't even contact Riri. How can he solve all his problems with Riri?

The ladder is very heavy. The tall building he left. His hand is still calling Riri's number. To this day, however, it remains inactive.

He looked at the spy and tidied his hair. Take a deep breath and try to calm himself. Then he convinces himself to meet Riri. Finished or unfinished, he should try it first.

Anxiety overwhelms him on his way to Mr.'s house. Aric is getting closer. It was too late when the car stopped in front of the luxury house. His chest was pounding erratically. He doesn't know what he should do.

His anxiety ended when he saw Riri approaching his car. Riri looks ordinary. Doesn't look angry or disappointed in him.

"Why are you here?" ask Mpus slowly.

"Aren't you mad at me?" Rian asked back.

Riri nodded with a confused face.

"Then why don't you activate your phone?" ask Rian.

"My phone is dead. Yesterday it fell down when I wanted to call you" replied Riri.

"Why not be repaired? You worry me" said Rian.

"Mrs. Aric has a guest. I can't go anywhere. I got through college. Moreover, the reason came out just to fix the phone," said Riri.

"Whose guest? He's not bothering you, is he?" ask Rian.

"Mas," said Riri while glaring dislike.

"Loh why? I'm just worried that someone is bothering my future wife" Rian said.

Yes, if most women are happy to get such attention, then it is different with Riri. He often feels uncomfortable with the jealousy of Rian who he thinks is unreasonable.

All this time Riri felt very low. She's just a maid. According to him, there was no way anyone would be interested let alone tease him. But it was different from the way Rian thought. Riri's pretty face always made Rian worry.

"Don't always feel inferior to others. You are both human. Moreover, you are beautiful. I'm afraid of losing you" said Rian.

"Yes not so. About dong, they're bule. Many are much more beautiful than I am. Moreover, they are old. I don't think they'll like me" Riri said

"Hussst, don't be so innocent. The beautiful face of Indonesia is very tempting. That feeling knows no age. I'm afraid the old bulls will tease you" said Rian.

Riri just laughed. Until he finally closed his mouth when he realized that his laughter was too loud.

"Nothing's funny, Pus." Rian shook his head not understanding with Riri's laughter.

"I'm just funny to hear the word old bule," said Riri.

"It's not funny at all" Rian said.

"But it's funnier that Mas's face is angry so. It's very exciting" said Riri.

Rian who was turning his face immediately looked at Riri. Convince himself with the sentence that has entered his eardrum. Makes his chest pound unruffled. Their lips suddenly. But that smile was only for a moment. His lips are now crooked again.

"So you compare me to an old bule?" ask Rian.

Riri laughed again.

"Ah, you can't be serious." Rian clicked annoyed.

"If I am serious about facing the anger and jealousy of Mas who I think is very unreasonable, we will always fight Mas. The problem will not be solved. I'm here to solve a problem, right?" ask Riri suddenly.

Rian looked at Riri seriously. His words sounded so mature and embarrassed him himself. True said Riri, he was outrageous.

"Pus, sorry!" said Rian while holding Riri's hand.

"Mas, before you apologize, I've forgiven you." Riri smiled sweetly.

"Then you mean yesterday?" ask Rian.

"Actually I don't like it when it comes to discussing the mistakes that have passed" replied Riri.

"This time Pus. I want to know what your words mean. Because honestly, I feel like you just want to let me go. Wh why? Is it because of my insolent attitude?" ask Rian.

"I was probably upset then. I'm just afraid that distance won't allow Mas to get what he wants from me. If there is anyone who can fulfill Mas's wish, just go for it. I'm sure if we were a match, we'd get back together." Riri convinced Rian.

Rian really felt slapped with Riri's words. He was so ashamed of all his behavior.

"I will hold myself back from being worthy of you. I'm sorry if it makes you feel humiliated" said Rian.

"Mas, it's not so. I-i understand. I honestly want the same thing. But it seems I have to wake myself up if this is not the time yet" said Riri.

"Thank you for reminding me, too" said Rian.

"Ririiiiiii," a shout sounded very loudly from inside the house.

"Mas, I'm going in first. If tomorrow I don't get to see you, go. Realize all the ideals of Mas. Later I will meet Mas after graduation," said Riri.

Rian had not had time to reply to Riri's words, the woman had gone down and immediately entered the house Mr. Arics. Rian was silent for a while and looked towards the house that was already sealed.

"I'll wait for that day to come, Pus. I'll wait for you" muttered Rian.

The car drove back away from Mr.'s house. Arics. He left the woman he loved so much. Now his feelings have improved. At the very least, one burden was reduced when he found out that Riri was not angry with him.

"It's over?" asked Mr. Felix when he saw Rian had gone home.

"It's Pah," Rian replied with a big smile.

"So dong. New son Papa. Don't make Papa ashamed. Men must.." Mr. Felix's remarks were immediately cut by Rian.

"Insponsible. I understand that very well" said Rian.

Mr. Felix just laughed and asked Rian to immediately pack the items to be brought to Indonesia. Sadness slipped back into the hearts of the two. But as if to strengthen each other, the two seemed to be fine. Trying to hide each other's pain.

"Don't bring a lot of stuff" said Mr. Felix while accompanying Rian packing in his room.

"Well, why?" ask Rian.

His busy hand sorting out his luggage immediately stopped. His views now turned to the source of the vote, which forbade him from carrying much of his personal belongings.

"The cost is expensive" replied Mr. Felix coldly.

"Oh my goodness, Pah. A calculation anyway?" rian said while shaking his head.

"You should cut back. Later you will feel how to live independently and manage your own money" said Mr. Felix.

"Well, frugal and stingy are different. Don't be confused, right," said Rian.

"Yeeee, it's stingy. Papa will say you have to be frugal" said Mr. Felix.

It wasn't about the cost he would pay for Rian's luggage. He just didn't want Rian's room to be empty. He wanted the room to stay the way it was when Rian was. Until he felt alone in the house.

"Bah, promise me that Papa will be fine and follow me to Indonesia!" said Rian.

"Papa's gonna be fine. Take care of yourself there too! Oh yes Papa will stay there and leave all this behind if your company has started to stabilize. Until you won't mind if Papa hitchhikes in your house" said Mr. Felix.

"Papa, no one hitchhiking. Papa was my parents. We should have lived together like this. Papa don't worry. I'll succeed soon enough. Help me pray, Pah," said Rian with enthusiasm.

"certain. Papa will always pray for you so that you can be successful soon" said Mr. Felix.

Rian smiled happily. Yes, this was the reason he challenged Rian to immediate success. Not one bit he thought to trouble Rian. Even if he had to go to Indonesia, he would live independently. Buying a house and preparing your own. He just wants to see his kids succeed.

After Mia and Dion manage to stand alone without the shadow of Lord Wira, Mr. Felix wants to see Rian standing on his own feet.
