Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
Palmier

Moedya let go of her embrace slowly. He touched the girl's pretty face gently again.

"Say "yes" Arumi!" Pinta Moedya's.

"For what?" Ask Arumi.

"Being my wife" answered Moedya confidently.

Arumi was silent as she stared intently at Moedya. "What's wrong with you? Why are you ...." Arumi did not continue his words. He stood up again from his seat. Folding both of his hands on his chest, Arumi was speechless at the thought of Moedya's very sudden request.

"I have to think about it first" said Arumi slowly. His feelings are suddenly confused. He was confused as to what to say, because this was all too sudden for him.

Arumi then turned her body. He looked back at the man who was now filling his heart. Back to him the man. Arumi touched Moedya's face gently.

"Thank you Moemoe. I should have been happy because of your invitation. I'm happy if you really think our relationship is not just a playful bond. I promise I will give you an answer, as soon as possible!" Arumi said with clear confidence in the beautiful twinkle of her eyes.

Moedya smiled when she heard the reply from the lover. At least, it had given him a huge hope. He knew that Arumi loved him too.

"So soon speak to Ryanthi's mother!" Pinta Moedya with great hope.

"After that, give me the answer that will make me the happiest man!" Moedya said again with a burning spirit within her.

Arumi nodded with confidence.

"Come tomorrow night to my house! I promise that you will get the answer soon" said Arumi gave a great hope to Moedya.

Moedya smiled widely. He immediately lifted the girl's body to make the owner strangled in shock. But before long, Arumi even laughed at it.

...🕊 🕊 🕊...

The wall clock has been clanging ten times. However, Arumi still seemed cool talking to her mother. They were discussing Moedya's good intentions to Arumi.

"Are you sure of Moedya?" Ask Ryanthi.

"I love her, Mom," replied Arumi flatly.

"What kind of love?" Ask Ryanthi again.

Arumi was silent for a moment. He just plays his lips and thinks.

"I'm interested in him. I don't know what brought me into Moedya's arms? But for sure I was happy when he offered me a future" Arumi said.

"It felt very different to when Edgar offered it. He's a handsome, neat, formal, and much sweeter man. But my heart was not touched at all. I don't know, it feels so bland ..." continued Arumi.

Ryanthi took a long breath. He was young and in love. He knew what it was like when there were thousands of butterflies flying over his head. He also knew how tickling he was when he was attacked by thousands of ants, just because of a small touch from the lips of an Adrian.

Slowly closed both eyes. Ryanthi felt the whirring of the wind that night start to hit her pretty face. The cold weather was no longer felt, because he was now in the arms of a handsome man with gray eyes.

"Adrian ..." said Ryanthi.

Adrian mutters slowly. The man placed his chin on the shoulder of his beloved woman. He didn't let down his embrace at all.

"You gonna remember tonight, Ryanthi?" Adrian's whisper ends with a soft kiss on the woman's shoulder.

"I'll remember all the things I've been through with you. No exception ..." said Ryanthi slowly. He then turned to look at the face of the crossbreed that was beside him.

"What?" Ask Ryanthi.

"I became a very melancholy man. Suddenly I forgot my guitar and play station. I prefer to sing with nature. Listen to birds and wind. Seeing the rage of the waves. I just hope to never get lost in the dark of the night. Being away from you is really something that feels so heavy" Adrian said with a voice that sounded so deep.

"Maybe it's called true love. However, I did not dare to draw conclusions. I still continue to find meaning in every breath of my longing for you," continued Adrian again with the same tone of speech.

"Then ... did you find it?" Ask Ryanthi.

Adrian turned his gaze to Ryanthi. "Yes. Actually, the answer is certain. But .. I just want to go deeper. The more I go into it, the less I want to come to the surface" explains Adrian.

"A Adrian has sunk in love?" Ryanthi muttered which ended with a mocking laughter.

"More precisely .. I drowned myself," said Adrian. He laughed too softly.

"So much Ryanthi's love that can break down the pride of an Adrian," Adrian said, turning Ryanthi's body upside down. He also gently stroked the face that he would always miss.

"You're not a proud man, Adrian. You are a good man" Ryanthi denied with a gentle smile on the corner of her lips.

Adrian is silent. He stared fixedly at Ryanthi with the look of his deep eyes.

"I love you all of a sudden. I never even thought that feeling would come so quickly. I know and can feel your fear and your doubt in me. However, in the end .. I feel happy because I have managed to conquer the hardness of a Ryanthi's heart."

"Don't let doubt reign in your heart. Let him go immediately. Do not resist the light of the sun in the morning, because the night does not always give beauty!"

Ryanthi. He looked at the man. Mr. Handsome, hers is one.

"Close your eyes, Ryanthi!" Brisks Adrian while bringing his face closer. Ryanthi smiles and obeys orders from a man who is happy to give her orders.

"Mother! Mama!" Call Arumi slowly. The girl looked a little irritated. He complained slowly too.

Ryanthi jerks. He also woke up from his daydream. Soon he turned to Arumi who had been babbling but did not listen.

"Mom didn't hear me?" Asked Arumi with annoyance.

Ryanthi became excited. He didn't know what to say at the time.

"Sorry, Honey ... Mommy ...." Ryanthi did not continue her words.

"Ah .. I expected!" Complain Arumi. "I spoke at length and Mom ignored me. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sure if there's nothing you catch at all from my words" Arumi said. He folded both his hands on his chest.

Ryanthi laughed softly. I don't know in what way he had to cover up his embarrassment back then. However, Ryanthi still trying to keep his wife.

"Your brother says that tomorrow night he'll introduce us to someone. Why not invite Moedya. We can gather together here" Ryanthi said.

"Puff pastry?" Ryanthi.

"Palmier?" Sahut Arumi while laughing crisply.

"Good idea" replied Ryanthi.

"Let's execute!" Take Ryanthi with a smile on her lips.

Arumi looked at her mother. He also smiled. A moment later, he rested his head on Ryanthi's shoulders.
