Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● TWENTY-TWO : Coercion

"Vera is pregnant" said Ryanthi flatly, but managed to make Arshan surprised not play.

Arshan shook his head repeatedly. "That's not my son!" adamant objection. But Ryanthi doesn't care. He did not even look at the man next to him.

".Nah! I'll never marry Vera!" reject Arshan firmly. "Thi, I don't love Vera! I never loved him!" Arshan repeated his words. He hopes Ryanthi believes and is willing to forgive him.

"You don't love Vera, but you fuck her! I don't know how many times you guys have done that. How humiliating!" Ryanthi starts to get hooked.

"I knew. That's an unforgivable mistake. But at that time I was really happy. You know for yourself, Vera is a beautiful girl. He gave me what you never gave me."

Ryanthi's heart ripped through Arshan's words.

Ryanthi forgot, Arshan is a normal guy. He realized that he was too stiff. Never mind to make love, Ryanthi rarely even let Arshan kiss her. But is such a thing worth an excuse?

Arshan intended to hold Ryanthi's hand, but the girl immediately brushed him off. He wants to be touched again.

"Am I really disgusting to you? What else do I have to beg, so that you are willing to forgive me? My mistake was fatal, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to let you go."

"You should think before you do that stupidity. Never mind. I've forgiven you. Also Vera. The girl was crying and looked very confused. I'm asking you, please marry her."

"If you ever loved me, then don't let my father's reputation be ruined because of something like this. I don't want my father to be ashamed, because of what Vera has done."

"No! That's not my son!" Arshan refused.

Ryanthi. Arshan has the right to refuse his request. However, Ryanthi also could not ignore Vera. Although the girl was very annoying, but Vera was his brother now.

"If I were Vera, I would do the same. I will choose you, because you are indeed the best man," Ryanthi said slowly, but full of bitterness.

Arshan was silent at Ryanthi's words. He regretted all the foolishness he had done, so had to lose the much loved girl.

A moment later, Ryanthi picked up the paper bag next to her, then stood up. "I still have other business. Sorry for forcing you to marry Vera. Please think again.' After that Ryanthi passed leaving Arshan, in a feeling of remorse.

......................

Ryanthi exits the elevator leading her to Adrian's apartment. He stood up, looking around the room.

Ryanthi was so surprised, when she saw Adrian just rising from the pool at the side of the room. Adrian smiling. She looked ordinary, even though she was wearing only wet swimsuits.

Ryanthi lowered her head in embarrassment, having to see Adrian in such a state. However, Ryanthi occasionally glanced at the man who was now wearing a towel.

Adrian steps dashingly in front of Ryanthi. The handsome man's gaze, fixed on the paper bag that Ryanthi immediately thrust. Adrian immediately received and saw the contents, without removing from the paper bag earlier. "I don't think you're going to return this fast."

"Aren't you asking to be returned?"

Adrian smiled as he put the paper bag on the sofa. "What do you want to drink?" bargained for.

Ryanthi shook her head slowly. "No need. I'll go straight home. Did you throw away my clothes yesterday?"

Adrian looked at Ryanthi for a moment. He grabbed the paper bag, which had been placed on the sofa. "Attent. I'll get it," he said as it passed.

Meanwhile, Ryanthi was so amazed by the atmosphere in Adrian's apartment. It seems that the man did not really like displaying a lot of items in his room, because there Ryanthi only saw a pale white sofa that was neatly circular. There is also a small table with beautiful lights. In another section, there is a longer table. On the table were three ornaments of white ceramic.

Right facing the sofa, there is a large enough opening and directly to the swimming pool which is limited by a barrier from the glass. On the side, there is a relaxing area.

The atmosphere inside was very comfortable and cool. In fact, the Surya residence is also very luxurious. However, Ryanthi remains amazed when he sees Adrian's residence.

Ryanthi ventured closer to the swimming pool. The view there is beautiful. He imagined himself standing there at night. The atmosphere will be much more beautiful. Dark skies and building lights scattered around the apartment. It will make the night atmosphere more cheerful.

Ryanthi walked closer and closer to the pool. An afternoon gust of wind began to feel him smashing down on his face. His short bob hair that was now starting to be a little long, was revealed from his shoulders.

Ryanthi then turned her eyes to the clear pool water. There was a blue sky shadow there, mingling with the clear water of the pool. Ryanthi was swept away staring at the water that filled the pond. Every now and then, he took a long breath. Long enough he waited for Adrian while standing there.

Ryanthi jerks. He immediately turned around. However, he stood too far to the edge, so his feet slipped on the edge of the pool. He finally fell. Ryanthi thrashed, asking for help. He can't swim.

Seeing that, Adrian threw the paper bag he was holding. He immediately jumped into the pool. He quickly took Ryanthi up and sat down at the edge of the pool. Ryanthi scared. His breath was cut off irregularly. Adrian patted the girl's head, because maybe Ryanthi drank a lot of water, until he coughed. After a while, the girl looked calm. A moment later, Adrian gives Ryanthi a white towel.

"remarkable. I had just changed," complained Adrian, finding all his clothes soaking wet.

"I'm sorry" Ryanthi said softly.

Adrian handed me a paper bag containing Ryanthi's clothes yesterday. "I'm glad I didn't throw it away. Get your clothes changed," he said.

Without saying much, Ryanthi said. He already knows where to go. After getting dressed, Ryanthi returned to the room. He sees Adrian still in a drenched state.

Ryanthi tidied up her clothes. He folded and covered the torn part. However, the folds were back open. Ryanthi is busy with her clothes, so she is unaware of Adrian's arrival. The man came back to surprise her.

"I'd better get home soon" Ryanthi said as she continued to hold the front of the dress.

"alright. Are you sure you don't want to drink first?" Adrian seems to want Ryanthi to be there longer.

"No, no," refused Ryanthi clumsy.

"Sorry for the incident" he said without removing his hand from the front of the dress.

Adrian smiled calmly. He did not take his gaze off Ryanthi, thus making the girl even more clumsy. "Why should it be covered? I've seen it all?" adrian said with a naughty smile.

Ryanthi glared straight at. A moment later, the girl lowered her face in embarrassment.

"Are we going to meet again?" adrian asks starts teasing Ryanthi.

"I don't think so. Our business is done" Ryanthi replied without daring to fight the gaze of the man before her. "I have to go home."

"Shall I take you?" Adrian offered himself.

"I'm not amnesiac" Ryanthi refused, which made Adrian laugh.

"Yes, already. Hopefully you don't get into the wrong house" Adrian replied as he pushed one of the elevator buttons open.

Ryanthi surprised. "Did Adrian know if I was lying?" his inner. However, Ryanthi did not care. He rushed into the elevator while looking at Adrian, who was also staring at him until the elevator door closed.

Adrian is still standing in front of the elevator, although Ryanthi is no longer visible. She smiled a little. Adrian then sat on the sofa facing directly to the pool area.

Thought glaring. However, the sound of the message ringing managed to make him re-conscious.

A message from someone who is not expected. There, the name Fiona is written. Adrian just read the message without replying. He put his cell phone back on the table.

A few minutes later, his phone rang again. The message came from the same number. But again, he ignored. Adrian complained long while leaning body. He put his head on the back of the sofa, while staring at the ceiling of his apartment.

at first glance, Adrian thought about the work. It had been a long time since he had come and monitored the state of the factory. An aerospace company inherited by his father, and he has managed for a long time. Since his father died.

Adrian rarely came to the factory that used to make aircraft components. Moreover, he began to take care of his new business in other fields. The last time he got there was when he bought a new machine from Japan. Machines worth more than one billion, deliberately imported to support production performance in the factory.

Adrian has not been to his home for a long time. He was lazy to come there, because Indira always discussed the issue of marriage.

Not without reason, Adrian is now almost thirty years old. It was fitting that he had an escort. However, Adrian is just too fun to enjoy the solitude. He prefers to play PS, rather than having to be dizzy in a serious relationship with a girl.

Adrian is not a romantic guy. He also does not always pay more attention to the girl who is close to him. That is often a problem, in the relationship he is in.

Fiona was her ex-boyfriend about two years ago. The woman wanted to re-establish a relationship with him. It is undeniable, Fiona can indeed be called the most beautiful ex. However, Adrian does not intend to continue his love story that has broken up with the woman. Moreover, after he met another girl named Ryanthi.

Time keeps passing. Adrian is still lost in everything he has in mind. Meanwhile, outside the twilight sky is increasingly visible. It's gonna be a little late in the evening. Adrian was still sitting on the couch. I don't know what he will do after that, because he only remembers Ryanthi.
