Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● TWENTY : First Impression

Ryanthi immediately finished breakfast. He drank his drink even a little. The girl stood up, then cleaned the dishes and dirty glasses, her ex and Adrian breakfast. Ryanthi put them in the tub where she was washing dishes.

"What are you doing?" adrian asked from behind.

Ryanthi. He didn't answer. The girl only beckoned, showing what she was doing.

Adrian watched the beautiful girl for a while, before returning to say, "Let it go. That's all Wati's job."

"It's okay. I'm used to it" Ryanthi said, continuing her work despite being banned.

Adrian did not comment again. He looks agitated. Every now and then, the man ruffled his hair, making it look a lot messier than it was. However, it does not make the charm of Adrian become faded.

A moment later, Adrian moved out of the kitchen. He greeted the woman who had been talking about nothing. "Why did Mama come so early?" greet Adrian, while kissing the left and right cheeks of women who are none other than his mother.

"What kind of welcome is that?" The woman with a very elegant appearance earlier, patting Adrian's cheek softly. After which, he sat on the sofa with such a graceful attitude.

The woman was Indira, the mother of Adrian. She is a socialite. It was evident from his attitude and appearance. Indira is not young anymore. However, her beauty was still evident. She also often does yoga, so her body seems very calm and gentle.

"Today you don't have a show, right? How about you accompany Mama to a social event, held by some friends Mama "Indira put her expensive bag on the table.

"can't. Today I have a sudden event," Adrian refused immediately.

Indira complained slowly. He was disappointed because Adrian always refused when invited to leave. In fact, Indira learns that her eldest son deliberately avoided her. The woman with a neat bun wearing a harnet had realized that her favorite son already knew if he would introduce Adrian to the daughter of one of his friends. Indira wants Adrian to get married soon.

"What is more important than your mother?" indira protests while staring at Adrian who is still faithful single.

Adrian leaned back while rubbing his lips. He often does such a habit, whenever he is thinking about something.

Meanwhile, Indira tries to understand. He hopes what he thinks matches the answer Adrian will give.

"I ...." Adrian does not continue his words, as Ryanthi suddenly appears in the living room. The presence of the girl, immediately made Indira flabbergasted. This was the first time Adrian had brought a girl into his apartment.

Ryanthi looked clumsy, as Indira continued to pay attention to her. Moreover, when the woman with the long-sleeved blouse and the toad pants stood up. He approached Ryanthi, bringing a friendly smile. Very much different from the attitude of Maya or Vera.

Meanwhile, Adrian sat while leaning forward. The man rubbed his forehead.

"Why is this girl showing up now?" he thought, accompanied by a head of his head did not understand.

"Hey, who is this?" ask Indira warmly. He stared lovingly at the timid Ryanthi.

Adrian stood up, and approached them. "He ...."

"Ryanthi." Adrian has not had time to continue his words, Ryanthi first mentioned his name. Making Adrian look directly at with stunned highlight.

"Ryanthi? What a beautiful name. According to the person," flattered Indira, while kissing Ryanthi's forehead. Indira cupped the girl's face happily mixed with haru. "It's so pretty" she said again. The happy hue did not disappear from his face.

However, Indira suddenly squinted her eyes, looking at the wound under Ryanthi's eyes.

"Why is your face, honey?" tanyakanya.

Ryanthi shuddered to receive such treatment, from a person she did not know. Ryanthi smiled as she shook her head slowly.

Indira then glanced at Adrian, who was amazed by the scene before him. He smiled happily as he grabbed the bag from the table. "alright. Mama will go alone. No need to worry. You just continue your show," he said.

"Sometimes, invite Ryanthi to dinner at Mama's place" he said again with a raised smile. In a then staring at Ryanthi. "Of course with your own clothes," his laughter ended with a crisp laugh.

Adrian and Ryanthi laughed, despite the awkwardness in their body language. "Yes" replied Adrian. Makes Ryanthi snort at him. Adrian did not care. He immediately drove Indira to the elevator.

That day, the streets were not too crowded. The car that Adrian drives, can drive freely without too much faltering. The handsome man was so focused on looking forward, from behind the sunglasses that made him look even more dashing.

However, Ryanthi was not thinking about how charming an Adrian was. He was thinking about yesterday's events. I don't know what Vera had stirred up to Surya. Moreover, Ryanthi didn't come home all night.

Ryanthi complains slowly while tidying her hair with her hands. Adrian took a quick glance at it, before returning to focus on city traffic.

"Your mama is very kind" said Ryanthi, breaking the silence between them.

Adrian mutters slowly. "He is like that. My mother had a very high social spirit. He cares deeply for abandoned children and homeless people" Adrian replied without turning to Ryanthi.

"Your face and the others are still wet. Wati just washed it today. So, just take it next time," Adrian said again, discussing about Ryanthi dress. He spoke without looking at the girl, as he remained focused on the wheel.

"Throw away. Anyway, the shirt's broken.

That's my new shirt" Ryanthi said.

"It's okay. I'll return it later. After all, you should also return my clothes. Although I have a lot in the closet, but everything that is already mine I must take good care of. I won't let it just disappear" Adrian said. The words that sounded had meaning for Ryanthi.

"Just calm. I must have returned it. After all, my father doesn't wear clothes like this either. So, your clothes must be safe" Ryanthi replied, without turning to Adrian. "I'll wash it clean" the girl continued

"Good," replied Adrian briefly.

Shortly after, Ryanthi tells Adrian to stop the vehicle in front of a house. However, it was not his home, as the Surya residence was on another block. Ryanthi tried to remove the seatbelt that ran across the chest long enough.

Adrian was just watching. He didn't help her at all.

However, Ryanthi finally managed to remove the seatbelt. "Thank you for taking me home" Ryanthi said slowly. He opened the car door.

"This is your house?" adrian asked, pointing at the house where he stopped the vehicle..

Ryanthi nodded, though hesitant. He rushed down, then closed the car door again.

"Until we meet again, Ryanthi." Adrian says farewell words, which have other meanings in Ryanthi's mind.

Ryanthi did not answer. The girl only smiled slightly as she nodded slowly. He didn't know what to say to Adrian. However, of course he would meet again with the man, to return his clothes.

Ryanthi just stood in front of the mansion, which she recognized as her home. The girl did not enter immediately, because she waited for Adrian to leave first. After the car Adrian was driving drove, Ryanthi stepped up.

However, the girl did not enter the house that Adrian had pointed at.

Adrian only smiled while shaking his head, when he saw the reflection of Ryanthi's shadow from the rearview of the car. He smiled amusedly, at the lies that the beautiful girl had done.
