Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
Moedya's Promise to Arumi

Arumi was tidying up her hair and clothes when Moedya hugged her from behind. The man was only wearing his jeans, with no top at all. For the first time he showed off all the tattoos that were drawn on his body.

"Are you okay?" Whisper Moedya while gently kissing Arumi's shoulder.

"Eitherway. I just feel a little weird ..." replied Arumi. He then glanced at Moedya's bed. On top of the bed sheet there are blood spots although not too much.

"It's okay" said Moedya. He tried to eliminate the visible unrest from the look of Arumi's face at that time.

"There must always be a beginning for everything. I just hope you don't regret this" said Moedya again.

Arumi remained silent. He feels confused. Honestly, if he feels strange about himself. He felt that something different was happening to him.

"I'm scared ..." - Arumi softly.

Moedya turned the girl's body. He then gently stroked Arumi's face. "Don't be afraid. I will always be with you!" Moedya said again to calm the lover from his fear.

Arumi looked at the lover so fixedly. He smiled even though he was somewhat forced.

There was a faint sound of a car entering the courtyard of the house. Moedya immediately looked from the window of her room.

Immediately he grabbed the white t-shirt lying at the end of the bed and put it on. "My mom is home. Come on, let's get out!" Bring Moedya. He grabbed Arumi's fingers and led her out of the room. Down the stairs, they immediately welcomed Ranum's arrival.

The beautiful woman smiled broadly at Arumi's presence there. He hugged the girl warmly. "Arum? How you doing, son?" Sapa Ranum's. His attitude was so sweet towards Arumi.

"Well, ma'am," replied Arumi. The girl also welcomed Ranum's hospitality to her.

Ranum then turned his attention to the long-haired man with his battered face.

"How are you doing, honey?" Ranum asked as he patted Moedya's cheek slowly and made his only son grimace softly.

"Mother!" Moedya seemed to protest loudly to Ranum.

The woman just laughed softly. "You are a man! A small wound like this won't make you die!" Said Ranum with half-little.

Arumi laughed softly. He was happy to see the attitude shown by Ranum to Moedya. The woman always looks relaxed in every speech or everything she does.

"It! Mom stopped by the pharmacy. He said this remedy was very powerful for bruises like your wounds," Ranum thrust a small, white crackle at Moedya.

Moedya immediately accepted and saw the contents. "Thank you, ma'am" said the man, smiling calmly.

"Mom hope this will be the last one! I don't want you to act stupid and pretentious!" Ranum's message was resolute.

Moedya just smiled as she scratched her head. As usual, he was acting silly again.

"There! Treat your wound immediately!" Tell Ranum.

Moedya immediately glanced at Arumi. He took the girl and probably asked her to treat her wound.

"Arum, come! Come with Mom!" Ranum immediately grabbed Arumi's hand and led the girl to his study. Moedya was just staring at it. While Arumi just smiled amusedly while glancing at the lover.

Arriving in the workspace Ranum very comfortable, Arumi was immediately welcome to sit down. While Ranum seemed to take something from inside a small closet that was locked tightly. He approached Arumi with a small silver box.

"Juna told me everything" Ranum said with a smile. His body language looks very elegant. She is so beautiful at her age that she is no longer young.

Arumi just smiled. The girl was so hypnotized by the charm of an Ranum. Ranum is the second woman to be her idol.

"Thank you for accepting Arjuna. There's a lot that's changed after he got to know you and so far it's been very positive. Stay close to him!" Ranum said softly. Her maternal side was so clearly visible at that moment.

"I also love Moemoe very much" Arumi said slowly.

"of course! My mother will take Ranum's mother well. You two are very good women. I'm sure it would be a lot of fun if we could get together and talk together" Arumi said with a beautiful twinkle in her pair of eyes. He seemed so enthusiastic about the plan that Ranum revealed to him.

Ranum smiled widely. He then grabbed the silver box he had placed on the table. Ranum opened the box cover.

There was a blue ring in it. A very beautiful ring with a fairly simple design. Ranum showed the ring to Arumi.

"Look, Honey!" Ranum handed the box to Arumi.

Arumi immediately accepted it. He noticed the ring neatly tucked away inside the small box.

"It's so beautiful, ma'am" decak Arumi with great admiration. She falls in love with the ring that Ranum shows her.

"That's Arjuna's grandmother's ring. His late father Juna, gave the ring to Mom. After Juna's father died, I kept the ring and hoped that Arjuna's future wife would also be willing to wear it" Ranum said.

"That means ...this is a very historic ring?" Ask Arumi. He seems more enthusiastic.

Ranum nodded slowly. "Try it! May it fit on your finger!" Tell Ranum.

Carefully, Arumi took out the ring from inside her box. He then inserted the ring into his left ring finger. After that, he showed it to Ranum.

Ranum smiled happily looking at her. There was a deep novelty in his heart. It was like a dream when Moedya brought a girl before her.

...🕊 🕊 🕊...

The wind gently blew that twilight. Arumi stood up half leaning on the front of her car. Next to Arumi, Moedya stood quietly. They were both looking forward to the time when the sun was about to sink.

There was no conversation between the two of them. Both seem to drift in each other's minds.

The longer, the blue color that stretches the area is increasingly fading and changing colors that are getting darker. Shady feeling mingled with a soothing cool breeze. Everything feels so good, when the moment they can pass both.

Slowly Moedya wrapped her hands around Arumi's shoulders. The girl rested her head on Moedya's shoulders. He looks so comfortable doing that.

"I'm sorry, Miemie ..." said Moedya slowly. She clasped Arumi's fingers tightly and kissed him warmly.

"I'll really finish it all. I promise you ..." said Moedya again.

"I don't want to lose you. I don't care though Keanu will kill me with his own hands. If it was indeed worth it, then I would have accepted it," Moedya ended her words with a warm kiss on Arumi's forehead which was then silent as she closed her eyes.

"You know what I want to do right now?" Moedya's question made Arumi open her eyes.

"What?" Arumi asked back.

"I would love to shout and tell the whole universe about how I feel about you" Moedya replied with a knotty smile that adorned her face covered in bruises.

Arumi laughed softly at Moedya's words. He also upheld his sitting attitude and turned to the lover.

"Prove it!" Challenge Arumi.

Moedya looked at the beautiful girl for a moment. A moment later he stood up straight and took a few steps forward. With a deep breath, he shouted something with all his strength.

"Aruuuuuum .. I love you so much!" After that, Moedya turned back and looked at Arumi.

Hearing that, Arumi smiled widely. He immediately ran towards the direction where Moedya stood and poured into the arms of the man who was now clutching and lifting his body up high.

The cheerful laughter was vividly painted on the faces of the two of them. That twilight, they went through beautifully again, just like when Arumi got her first kiss from Moedya.
