Between Asa And Taste

"What are you doing Ri?" mia asked while patting Rian on the shoulder.

The surprised Rian almost made Lady Helen know that she was peeping. It was fortunate that Rian immediately silenced his mouth with both hands.

"Why you?" ask Mia again

"Hussst," Rian placed his index finger on his lips. He pointed to the open room.

"Mama?" ask Mia.

Rian nodded.

"Mama why?" mia asked confused.

"Here," asked Rian while pulling Mia's hand.

"Rian what the hell is it?" mia asked as she continued to follow Rian's steps.

"Why can't I give you a code anyway?" rian was upset.

"What code?" mia asked, confused.

Rian had no other choice but to explain what he knew to Mia. Mia could only feel sick when she heard Rian's story.

"Papa doesn't want anyone to know" Mia said, rubbing the corner of her eye.

"Sister, don't cry so dong. I'm just asking" said Rian.

Mia laughs. He was comforted by Rian's plain speech. While now it is Rian's turn who is confused by Mia's attitude.

"So why the hell? It's unclear. It's weird" said Rian.

"You guys even gather in the kitchen anyway? On what gibah? How come I wasn't invited?" asked Dion who was about to take a drink in the kitchen.

"Enak aja gibah. We're not having a gibbah, A" denied Mia.

"Well, what are you doing if you're not a gibbah?" ask Dion.

Mia explained why she was talking to each other in the kitchen. Dion was ashamed of what they were talking about his mother. But what power, because it is a reality that happens.

"Don't be ashamed, brother. Mama's a great woman. He always tried to be strong even though he actually hid his fragility," said Rian.

"But I was ashamed of myself when Mama tried to lie to everyone" Dion said.

"A, right said Rian. After we all know the reason Mama lied, we even more salute Mama. The reason for Mama's lies is very clear. No need to worry, yes!" said Mia.

"Thank you because you understand my family" Dion said.

"Mama Helen is my Mama too. My affection may not be as great as Kak Dion's affection for Mama. But I love Mama so much" Rian said.

"Ri, thank you so much." Dion embraced Rian's shoulder with great pleasure.

"No need to thank you, brother. I should have acted like this" Rian said.

Rian drove Miss Helen home after the show was eight o'clock at night. Although he refused because he could be escorted by the driver, but Rian reassured Mrs Helen if she was safer if she went home with him.

"Oma go home to Naura, Rendra." Lady Helen pampered and hugged her two twin grandchildren.

"Yes Oma. Rian will be home again! Don't sleep in Oma's house" Naura said.

"Ready," Rian said as he raised his thumbs.

Rian immediately went to deliver Lady Helen, while Mr. Felix could not go along because of the suspicion of Naura and Narendra. Mr. Felix is just going to Mrs Helen's house tomorrow. Replace with Rian who will accompany Naura and Narendra.

"Ri, Mama knows you already know everything." Madam Helen suddenly broke the silence.

Of course it makes Rian surprised and confused to behave like what. He just kept quiet and kept driving his car. Pretending not to hear Mrs Helen's words because she was busy watching the streets were quite crowded.

"Ri, don't pretend like that. Mama's okay" said Mrs Helen.

Rian swallowed his saliva as Madam Helen said that. He really felt like he was sitting with an amazing fortune teller who knew what his head was.

"What's your mama talking about? I don't understand" said Rian still with his skit.

"That's Ri. Mama knew that Dion or Mia would tell you everything. Aye right?" urged Mrs Helen.

Rian felt like he was on the edge of a horn. Can't dwell because everything Miss Helen said was true. It's just that he was confused as to what kind of behavior he should be. He was afraid that the answer would hurt Mrs Helen and create new problems.

"Ri, Papa might get mad at Mama when he finds out you're coming home." Lady Helen returned to make Rian even more confused.

"Then I'll take Mama to the front?" ask Rian.

"You don't want to see your father?" Lady Helen asked back.

"I just don't want Mama to get angry for taking me home" replied Rian.

"You should be able to quell Papa's anger" said Mrs Helen.

Huh huh? What kind of answer is this? Why am I so wrong like this? I have to quell Papa Wira's anger? How-to?

Rian was confused by Lady Helen's remark that felt like challenging him. He was more confused when he had to reduce the anger of Mr. Wira, while he himself did not know how Mr. Wira when he was angry.

During knowing Lord Wira, Rian did not even see his adoptive father was angry. Then what kind of anger should he muddy? Rian was afraid of misbehaving and causing trouble. That'sthat's all.

"Ri, don't you miss your Papa?" lady Helen asked Rian.

"Huh? Emm, that's not it Ma. I miss Papa very much. But I don't know whether or not to quell Papa's anger" replied Rian.

"You should. And Mama is sure you can," said Ms. Helen.

Sounds very convincing, but Rian himself is not sure. His head was thinking about what he should do. Unfortunately, there was no way that was stuck in his head. Though the distance to Lady Helen's house is very close.

"It's up to Ma" said Rian.

"Thank you, yeah! If you want to go home, go home. Papa will not know if you are already in Indonesia," said Mrs Helen.

A very heart-wrenching sentence. When a mother gives up and doesn't want to do much. Rian watched Madam Helen's footsteps that looked very shaky.

"Ma, wait for me!" said Rian.

His hand held off Lady Helen's steps. Rian saw clearly the splattered water wetting his cheeks.

"Thank you Ri. My mom needs a friend now. Mama can't bear to see Papa like this" said Ms. Helen.

"We will both make Papa eager to heal again yes Ma," said Rian.

Rian's words were able to strengthen the heart of Lady Helen. He nodded and immediately invited Rian to come in. I met her husband, though I don't know how he will respond.

"Father, Mama's home." Lady Helen shouted cheerfully towards a room.

Rian was still watching Madam Helen. He salutes his foster mother. Though he had just seen Madam Helen crying because of her sadness with Mr. Wira's condition. But in an instant she pretended to be cheerful just to encourage her husband. He knows it's very heavy.

Ma, I'm sorry I didn't know Mama was fighting this hard. I will accompany Mama to fight. We will fight together, Ma. I'm sure Papa will be healthy again.

"How's my twin granddaughter doing?" ask Mr. Wira.

"They're healthy. Real healthy. They miss you too, Pah" said Ms Helen, rubbing her sweaty forehead. "Why shut down the AC?" continued.

"So Papa had a fever. That's why the AC is turned off" replied Mr. Wira.

"What's the fever again?" ask Miss Helen to panic.

"No, no. Just a little uncomfortable with the AC," replied Mr. Wira.

After all Mr. Wira did not want to make his wife panic. He was very lucky with the existence of Lady Helen who was always beside him when he was in a state of pain. Never once did his wife leave him.

The attention and affection of his wife is very much felt by Mr. Wira. How Ms. Helen treated him was really good. Of course it makes a new spirit in his life. The evidence has changed a lot since the first stroke attacked him.

"Bah," said Rian who had long noticed his two adoptive parents.

"Bah, Rian is our son. His feeling is very strong. She kept forcing Mama to meet Papa when no one told her how Papa was doing" Ms Helen said when she saw the dislike on her husband's face.

"Who else knows how I'm doing?" ask the Lord Wira with a throb.

"Bah, this is no disgrace. Why should you be ashamed?" ask Rian.

"out! I don't want to meet anyone. I want to be alone" said Mr. Wira, throwing my face away.

"Good Pah. Papa calm down! Mama will ask Rian to get out of here soon" said Mrs Helen.

Unlike Mrs Helen who complied with Mr. Wira's request to get out of the room, Rian actually went in and pulled Miss Helen's hand to re-enter.

"Bah, Mama and I love Papa. I'm sure Papa can heal. I'm here for Papa" Rian said.

"Go! Don't talk about healing. How many hospitals I have been to. What outcome?I can only sit in a wheelchair like this. Then what can you do here?" ask Mr. Wira.

"I have a love for Papa. I'm sure my affection for Mama and the others for Papa will be medicine. Our support can all be medicine if Papa can be more calm to deal with all this," Rian replied while sitting next to a wheelchair.

"Stop your bullshit!" said Mr. Wira while trying to get away from Rian.

"Bah, enough! Don't be like this! It's not just Papa who's sick. But we all get sick too. You think I'm not sick of this lie?" rian asked as he pulled the wheelchair to stay by his side.

"Rian, release!" said Mr. Wira firmly.

"No Pah. I will not let go of Papa until Papa accepts my presence. And we'll talk from heart to heart" Rian said.

"What else do you want to talk about? A job? A career? While I'm no longer useful like this. I can't walk. Hand tremors. What else can I do?" asked the Master Wira with a blank look.

Rian saw a lot of burden on Lord Wira. Naturally, because Rian knew his foster father was a workaholic. He could not sleep all night just to finish his job. And now at this time? He can't do anything. Definitely heavy.

"Well, there's something you can do right now. Encourage Papa himself, so that all Papa's family can be happy again. Job business number. But Papa should know what happened to Papa's family. They're crying. They ache. Papa know that?" ask Rian.

There's no answer. Mr. Wira just lowered his head and tried to calm his mind. Mastering their emotions to stay in control. He just lifted his face when he heard the ringing of a cell phone from the pocket of Rian's pants.

"Bah, look. My future wife called me." Rian showed his phone to Mr. Wira.

Not long after, Rian put the phone back in his pants pocket.

"Why not get caught?" asked Mr. Wira when the ringing of the phone finally stopped.

"I really love this woman. But I also love Papa very much. I can't keep calling her while my dad is still mad at me. My work is not done yet" replied Rian.

Mr. Wira looked towards Rian and his gaze moved towards Madam Helen. His wife knew by the eye code he had given her. But his wife's head was the answer he didn't want.

Rian smiled as he learned the code. She explained that Ms. Helen did not know about the woman who had just contacted her. He will only tell stories and introduce Riri to Mr. Wira if Mr. Wira is willing to go out of the room and enjoy the night air in the back garden.

Because of his great curiosity, Mr. Wira agreed. It was the first time he had been out of his room after almost a week in a room the size of five.

"I put on my jacket! Let Papa not catch a cold," said Rian.

His lips smiled and joined his head nod. He saw the happy face of his wife and adopted son. Suddenly his head thought of Dion. Her biological child just can't make it this calm. There were bad thoughts as he accused Dion of being too happy with his new family.

"Come on Pah!" bring Rian.

They're heading out to the back garden. Tonight is beautiful. The stars scattered in the sky present a beautiful view tonight.

"Well, I'd like to introduce my future wife. Not that far yet. I just believe that a word is a prayer. That's why I always call him a wife-to-be" Rian said.

"Who is he?" ask the Lord who is very curious.

"His name is Riri Puspita Dewi Permata Sari. But I called him Mpus" answered Rian.

Mr. Wira widened his lips. He was amazed by the call for the woman. But not only Mr. Wira, Mrs Helen actually looks much happier. This is the first time Ms. Helen has seen Mr. Wira smile since she became ill.

"Like a cat" said Mr. Wira.

"I'd guess. Everyone must have laughed at that nickname. But it's funny, isn't it?" said Rian.

"You can call him Riri. Why Mpus?" ask Mr. Wira.

"Let's be different from the rest" whispered Rian.

"Hey, if you want to be different it's romantic. It's not that strange" said Mr. Wira.

"But Mpus is not disturbed because of Pah" said Rian.

"Great yeah! If Papa had not pites," said Mr. Wira.

"It's a good thing my boyfriend isn't a taekwondo alumna like Papa ya!" said Rian.

At once Mr. Wira laughed with Rian's words. He imagined what if Rian was dating a taekwondo boy. Not only Rian, he was also scared. Wrong by the way, get ready to be beaten.
