Love for the Mentari

Bitter coffee

On the way home it was already dark, Sugi insisted on replacing Riri driving. He knew Riri was exhausted because Riri was very busy helping her work all day.

"Weathered huh?" Ask Sugi at Riri who looks powerless leaning on the seat back.

"Mmm" he replied weakly

"What dinner do you want?" Ask Sugi again

Riri did not answer, only visible movement of his chest up and down because of his regular breathing

Sugi turned to look at Riri to make sure that Riri was in a deep sleep.

"It looks like he overslept. Maybe he had trouble sleeping last night? Why is he, like, not the Riri I know?" He murmured in his heart

Unbeknownst to Riri, Sugi heads to a fast food restaurant and orders a few packages of Riri's favorite burgers and fries. Then go down for a while at the minimarket to buy a wide variety of ice cream for stock. He bought a lot of Riri's favorite vanilla-flavored ice cream.

Arriving at home, Sugi woke Riri up gently. He stroked his hair and cheeks slowly. "Our family has arrived!"

Riri flinched, finally Sugi decided to hold her. There were not two steps, Riri woke up from his sleep. He saw Sugi's neck very close to his face.

"Am I dreaming?" Riri looked around

"God!! Sugi carried me" Frantically Riri patted Sugi's chest slowly

Sugi still stepped while looking down at Riri

"Away awake?" He said, Riri could see Sugi's face clearly, maybe at this time his own face was meeting red

"Hey put me down here, I can walk alone. Why didn't I just wake up?" My protest at him

Sugi smiled, he did not want to obey Riri's words, he just continued to step until he entered the house. Riri who does not have the energy to force down can only resign in a sling Sugi.

He then lowered Riri on the sofa and squatted down in front of Riri looking at her gently

"You fell asleep. From last night I saw you acting a little strange. What's the matter Riri? Maybe there's something you want to tell me but shy or embarrassed. I'm ready to listen to anything" he said attentively

Riri shook her head "nothing Sugi. Sometimes I just have times to be alone. Like last night I suddenly remembered my family. Don't worry about getting back to normal, I'm used to it"

Sugi smiled "Yes already, now you better take a shower first to let it fresh. I've bought burgers, fries and vanilla ice cream. We'll eat together"

Riri looked at Sugi, there was a feeling of sadness that he felt. Her tears suddenly dripped down her cheeks.

"Hey why are you crying?" Sugi wiped away Riri's tears with his Hand

Riri nodded unable to speak

Sugi sat next to him "again very kangen with them well?"

Riri nodded, her tears dripping more and more, her breathing felt tight.

"Pity, here hug" said Sugi pulling Riri into his arms

Riri cries in Sugi's arms. Sugi could only pat her back slowly.

A few moments later her crying began to subside. Sugi took a tissue from the table to give it to Riri. Still slightly sobbing Riri wiped away the remains of her tears.

"I.kokcu..So..makin.crying" he said faltering.

"You're not whiny, just sad that's all. Maybe you've endured this sadness for years. If you cry, yes cry just let it plong. I know you're a strong woman but venting emotions is important to Riri"

Riri nodded

"No longer need to talk, now take a shower first" Sugi gently pulled Riri's hand to stand up.

When Riri has entered the room, Sugi appears to return to the garage to pick up his burger and ice cream package. I think Rio just came back. They walked straight into the house

"Why are you alone, Riri where?" Ask Sugi

"Why is he?" Sugi's face turned suspicious

"Against the shower, we've also just arrived"

Rio saw the burger that had my hand "The burger is one for me huh?"

"Wait for Riri first, I buy it for him anyway" he said sewot

"Ishhh Mr. President Director loh buyin his assistant burger hahahaha.... Yes.yes.yes I understand that the name of love is indeed intoxicating" Rio chuckled

"St!! I'm gonna take a shower first. Don't eat the burger, wait for Riri to choose which one!!" Sahut Sugi while putting the burger package on the table and put a bag of plastic ice cream crackle into the freezer.

"Every sir" said Rio with a position of respect.

Sugi went up to the second floor, his middle finger pointed towards Rio with a savagely pretentious face

"Hahahahaha "Rio is getting chuckling

Rio then sat on the sofa, his hands reaching into the pocket of clothes took out his phone. Then he contacted someone

"Where's sir?"

"Huh? why?"

"Where is he now?"

"Ok, I'm waiting for the information sir. Thanks"

Rio hung up his phone with a riled face. He tapped his phone on his thigh, his face looking like he was thinking hard about something.

Riri had just finished taking a bath, seeing Rio being in the guest room. He quickly put on his mask and hat and walked out of the room.

"Night Mr. Rio" he said with a somewhat clumsy body language

"Night Riri" Rio answered his eyes watching Riri towards the dining table. On the table he saw three packages of burgers complete with fries. After choosing the burger he liked, then he picked up a package for Rio.

"Please sir" Riri's hand handed the food over to Rio

"Thank you" Rio said with a smile

Riri returned to the dining table agitatedly

"Riri before here, where do you live?"

"I'm indekos sir, far from here"

"Why not stay with your parents? They live in the countryside, right?" Rio asked his face curious

Riri was silent for quite a while until finally answering "my parents are dead sir, so I do live alone. Why do you want to know?"

Rio felt guilty "I'm sorry for my lassiness. I was just curious. Since when can you make coffee with a coffee maker?"

"For a long time, there was someone who taught me sir. I also worked as a barista for only three months"

Rio nodded slowly "Certainly why was my coffee not as bitter as I imagined it to be this morning? I want bitter coffee, right?!"

Riri looked at Rio with a disappointed face "sorry, don't you like it? Next time I'll remember it"

"How much sugar does Riri put in my coffee?" Ask again, approaching

"A quarter of a teaspoon" replied Riri

"Hey!! What are you guys talking about? Sugi suddenly appeared down the stairs

"Coffee sir, it seems I accidentally gave a little sugar to the bitter coffee Mr. Rio this morning" said Riri

"I just want to know how much sugar he put in my coffee this morning. I like his coffee" Rio said with a restless face

"Well, he could be more comfortable living here, Riri. Tomorrow-tomorrow the most bitter coffee yes" joked Sugi while taking a packet of burgers on the table. His face was confused to see Rio and Riri who did not respond to his joke at all.
