Between Asa And Taste

Face search

"Still strong to hold back tears?" mister Felix's taunts as Rian looks moody.

"I'm not as keen as Papa thought," said Rian.

"The woman is the person behind a successful man. If the woman is good and right," said Mr. Felix while sitting next to Rian.

I don't know how many times Mr. Felix reminded Rian of that. Even Rian could no longer count them. Bored of? Might as well. But realized or not, after getting the sentence Rian always tried to get away from Maudi.

"Well, can I still love another woman?" rian asked so innocently.

Mr. Felix scrunched his forehead. He looked at Rian deeply.

"Rian, you're young. You can choose the best woman to accompany your life. Don't think that Maudi is the only woman you love. Many Rian, many. Open your eyes and heart to other women. Maudi is not good for you" said Mr. Felix.

After saying so, Mr. Felix immediately stood up, patted Rian on the shoulder and left. He immediately went to his room. Closing and locking the door. Sitting limp on the floor, right behind the door. He lowered his head and gently massaged his temple.

"Rian, I don't want you to feel the same way as me. I can't even replace Ningsih in my heart. But Ningsih's a good woman, not like Maudi." Mr. Felix said softly.

The day has changed. Tonight Mrs Helen and Mr. Wira return home. They spend time together when they get together. Not long because it was too late. They're resting.

Such was the day after day that Rian and Mr. Felix went through almost every day. Mr. Felix is keeping a close eye on his company in Germany, and Rian is getting closer to his four nephews.

Not infrequently Dandi and Yaza stay at Mia's house without Sindi and Maya. They look preoccupied with Rian's upbringing. The figure of a snack like Rian made the four children very comfortable when they were near Rian.

"Rian, your girlfriend's visiting." Shouted Miss Helen that afternoon.

A boyfriend? Not only Rian, but all those sitting in the living room were staring at Rian questioningly. While Rian who did not know who the visitor was, could only shake his head.

"Why shut up? Name's Maudi. She is beautiful" said Mrs Helen again.

"Maudi?" asked Mr. Felix in surprise.

Rian stiff. He was confused what to do. Tongue's cow. He could do nothing but sit on his seat.

"Rian, let's go meet him. Why just shut up?" ask Mrs Helen.

"Find him" said Mia.

Rian's steps are heavy. It was not because of the tension that he would meet with Mia. But Rian is confused as to how later when he should explain the reason Maudi came to the house.

"Rian," Maudi said, hugging Rian.

Rian's heart stopped beating. Maudi why is he acting like this? Rian tried to resist the hug. But to be honest, his heart was happy when he was treated like that by Maudi.

"Om Rian hugged who?" ask Narendra.

Rian immediately let go of Maudi's embrace upon hearing Narendra's question.

"He's a nobody. Rendra to the room first!" persuade Rian.

Narendra's nanny immediately took the boy away.

"What did you say? I'm a nobody?" maudis asked in disbelief.

"You yourself said that," Rian replied casually.

"But at least you can answer better. You can call me your friend" Maudi protested.

"You forgot that you even mentioned we're not friends anymore?" ask Rian to remind.

"Now what do you want?" ask Maudi.

"I want to do what you said to me back then" replied Rian.

"I regret coming here" Maudi said, slapping Rian's cheek and leaving the house.

"Where's Maudi?" ask Mrs Helen.

"He's gone home, Ma" replied Rian.

"Why not long?" ask Mrs Helen.

"She's got Ma's business" replied Rian.

"You never told me you had a boyfriend. Wh why? Have a beautiful girlfriend that should not be hidden. You should be proud" said Mrs Helen.

It seems that Lady Helen was amazed by the figure of Maudi. The woman Rian valued was indeed beautiful. But unfortunately Mrs Helen does not know who the real Maudi is.

"He's just my college friend Ma" replied Rian.

"Ah, there's no way he'd be willing to play here if you're just friends. Wouldn't you meet again there? But he came to see you here. That means you are special. You are no ordinary friend" said Mrs Helen.

"Ah, Mama don't be. He is just my friend" said Rian.

"Rian, Mama's not a kid anymore. No man and woman are pure friends. There aren't. Palinh no, there's one who considers more. Trust me, Mama" said Mrs Helen.

Apparently Lady Helen was suspicious of Maudi's arrival to her home. While others did not discuss at all because they already know who Maudi really is. But after Mia explained about Maudi, Lady Helen was very surprised.

"Rian, there are still many other women who will love and support what your ideals become. Relax, that woman is a lot. You won't run out. Show me that you're successful, women will be in line." Lady Helen convinced Rian.

"Mom think they want to be divided up until everything is in line?" god Mr. Wira.

Intentionally, Mr. Wira did not want the atmosphere to get hotter. He knew that Rian was not feeling well at the moment. The others also joined in to cheer Rian up. Rian finally smiled again. Even though the wound was too painful in his heart.

How did Maudi know this house? What was the purpose of coming here?

The question was spinning in his head. The purpose of Maudi to his home is not to be guessed. Maybe because he wanted Rian to keep his secret from Rey. But why was Maudi angry when Rian said there was no connection between them?

Ah no! Don't get your head big Rian. He's a nobody. You know that, Rian.

That's what Rian is like. Whatever he knows about Maudi's ugliness, but he can be that crazy when he misses the woman. Especially when Maudi actually met him. His heart had flowered again when he saw the figure of Maudi in front of him.

"Rian, come to Mia's office tomorrow!" said Mr. Felix.

"Yes Pah," replied Rian as his daydreams fell.

No need to ask for what. Rian knows that Mr. Felix wants to make Rian's memory no longer about Maudi. Tuam Felix also avoided the same thing from happening again. He tried to limit Rian's encounter with the woman.

As planned, Rian prepared that morning. Mr. Felix was delighted to see Rian so excited. But his smile disappeared after seeing Maudi's arrival that morning.

"Good morning" Maudi said gently and respectfully.

Maudi salutes everything. Her attitude was so sweet that Ms. Helen could hardly believe the story about Maudi.

"Let's have breakfast together!" take Miss Helen.

Had refused but in the end Maudi sat in the dining room. Along with the others, Maudi had breakfast. Doesn't show anything, everything looks fine. Only Rian looked so stiff. He is uncomfortable with such a situation.

"Rian, let's go!" bring Mr. Felix.

Maudi was even aware of the dislike Mr. Felix showed him. But he was still trying to calm down and look fine. Even when Rian and the others went to the office, Maudi chose not to go straight home.

Apparently Maudi was very smart to take the heart of Lady Helen. In the eyes of Mrs Helen, Maudi was very contrary to the story about her. Elsewhere, Mr. Felix grumbled with Maudi's attitude.

"Basic lickers. It's smart that he's looking for face" muttered Mr. Felix.

Mia and the others just kept quiet. No one dared to comment with Mr. Felix's scathing remarks. What's Rian. He just looked down and did not dare to look at the angry man.
