Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● TWENTY-NINE : Surprise at Wedding Party

The ringing of the phone woke Ryanthi from her deep sleep. Half-conscious, the girl felt the surface of the mattress until she found a cellphone that continued to ring.

"Hallo" said Ryanthi Parau.

"You're the first girl to keep me waiting all day." There was the sound of a familiar man in Ryanthi's ears.

Ryanthi instantly regained consciousness.

"Adrian?"

"Who do you think?" The man asked back. Sounds like he's so upset.

Ryanthi got up, then sat down. He realized that he was sleeping while wearing a kebaya that will be worn tomorrow.

"Hhhh!" Ryanthi gripped. He forgot that he was talking on the phone.

"I should be the one who is angry" Adrian said exasperatedly.

Ryanthi got out of bed. He was busy looking for the clothes he was wearing. Ryanthi just put the phone away.

Meanwhile, Adrian sat in a lounge chair while waiting for a response from Ryanthi.

"Ryanth?" call him. However, there is no answer at all.

Adrian snorted annoyed. He's already gonna throw his cell phone in the pool. Fortunately, the sound of the message ringing stopped the man's intentions. Adrian opened the message immediately. However, again he had to be disappointed, because it turned out that it was not Ryanthi who sent him a message.

Andrea and her husband are having dinner at my mom's place this weekend. Mama, hope you can join us. Take Ryanthi too.

Adrian took a deep breath after he finished reading the message. Moreover, the last sentence stated that he should take Ryanthi along. Meanwhile, the girl always ignored him.

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

The day that Vera had been waiting for had arrived.

The reception was held in a luxury building that belonged to a colleague of Surya.

That day, Ryanthi looks beautiful with Kebaya Kutu Baru, complete with subordinate batik Parang Ruak cloth. Not to forget he styled his hair even if only with a simple bun decorated with silver flowers. Ryanthi also wore a very beautiful butterfly brooch.

"You're so pretty today. Father until pangling saw it," flattered Surya proudly.

Surya's attention then turned to the brooch Ryanthi was wearing. He stared at the shiny object for a long time.

Ryanthi seemed to know that Surya was watching the brooch she was wearing. "It belongs to mom. I found it from inside that bag. I think it's pretty." Ryanthi explained without being asked.

"Yes. Dad knew. The father bought it for your mother, when we were going to have your birth first, "Surya replied.

"Sorry, Son. Today, I have to accompany Vera. So, I can't talk to you for long" he continued.

Ryanthi smiled as she nodded, as Surya left her for the guarantee.

Ryanthi just stood staring at the pseudo, at a luxurious wedding decorated with more than ten kinds of beautiful flowers.

There, Vera sat down gracefully. She wears a white wedding kebaya with a very pretty headdress.

Next to him sat a man Ryanthi knew very well, Arshan. The man was wearing the same color hood as the Vera kebaya. Arshan's gaze continued to move throughout the room, looking for a beautiful face that was very longed for, namely Ryanthi. However, Arshan did not see the girl anywhere.

Ryanthi was deliberately in a place that was quite hidden from the direction of the guarantee.

In addition, Ryanthi's movements are very limited, because of the high heels he wears. Ryanthi is afraid of losing her balance, then falls down. He would only look ridiculous and embarrassing in front of the invited guests, who seemed to be important people.

Ryanthi walks towards the buffet table. There, there are various appetizing deserts. But nothing was taken.

It's indeed a lavish and festive party, but it's very boring for Ryanthi. Again, he was unable to take his eyes off the pair of happy looking brides. Moreover, the bride.

"Beautiful," whispered a man, who had suddenly stood behind Ryanthi.

Ryanthi. Adrian's face was right next to it, until their cheeks almost touched. The girl was surprised not to play.

Adrian just laughed softly.

"How are you?" he whispered back from behind.

Ryanthi pointed her face forward. "Why are you here?" tanyanya.

"You think?" Adrian asked back.

"Of course because of Mr. Surya Wijaya's invitation," continued the man with his attitude that looks very calm, but full of authority.

Adrian follows Ryanthi's gaze to the band. "So, that guy who's been creating cloudy clouds in your life?" show Adrian to Arshan.

Ryanthi did not answer. After all, he was unfocused, because the perfume Adrian wore really made him drugged.

"Would I get you something?" adrian Tawal.

"No need," Ryanthi refused flatly.

"really? There's nothing you want?" ask Adrian again.

"I just want to get out of here" Ryanthi replied lazily.

Adrian smiled happily. "My car's in the parking lot. The key is in my pants pocket" said the man, offering Ryanthi an offer to go with him.

Ryanthi looked at it. However, he did not give an answer.

"alright. Wait a minute, because I have to say hello to my future father-in-law first" Adrian said. He walked gallantly towards the pelaminan with Ryanthi's gaze.

Adrian looked at Vera and Arshan. His attitude was invisible at the time. He looked very firm and authoritative. It all comes from how to shake hands. Moreover, when he shook hands with Surya. His attitude is really like not Adrian who often stutters the calmness of Ryanthi.

Surya asks Adrian to take a picture together. Unexpectedly, Surya also invited Ryanthi to join.

Ryanthi could not refuse. He stepped gracefully towards the pelaminan, then stood next to Vera. Adrian stood near Arshan.

After taking a picture together, Adrian returned to Surya. He whispered something. After that, he clumsily grabbed Ryanthi by the wrist, then led the girl down from the undercover. The sight was, of course, shocking for Arshan and Vera. And so did their parents.

"I've asked Mr. Surya for permission to take you away from here" Adrian said without releasing his hand.

"Ryanthi and Adrian?" muttered Vera while scrunched her forehead. The woman who had officially become Arshan's wife, looked so surprised. Ryanthi never said anything about their closeness.

"Since when Ryanthi and Adrian ...." Vera whispered to Surya.

"Eitherway. Papa doesn't know either. Let it. He deserves to find a suitable man who can make him happy" Surya replied.

The words of Ryanthi's father, have made Arshan insinuated. But that man cannot give. He himself has betrayed. He deserves to lose a girl as good as Ryanthi. No matter how much Arshan regrets, it's useless now. Ryanthi has been detached from him.
