Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● THIRTY-THREE : Time to Shave

Ryanthi went back inside while rubbing Adrian's freshly frowned. She was inexhaustible, because the man kept teasing her.

Ryanthi went straight to the room. He was tired and wanted to rest. However, how surprised Ryanthi, because Arshan stood up to him. "Surge. I'm going through." Ryanthi was acting tough on the man.

"We have to talk" Arshan said with emphasis. "Come on!" Arshan grabs Ryanthi's wrist. He led the girl back to the first floor. Arshan takes Ryanthi to the kitchen.

"Free Arshan! My hand hurts!"

"Crazy! It's crazy!" arshan's grunt was annoyed after releasing his hand grip from Ryanthi.

"Whatchu mean? Please don't bother me!"

Ryanthi is out of the kitchen. However, Arshan immediately blocked it. "Surge! Let no one see us and think no! I don't want to have any trouble with Vera!" sergeant Ryanthi.

But Arshan was getting closer. "Say, what's your relationship with that guy?" the question is full of emphasis.

"What is your business?"

"My jaw! What's your relationship with Adrian?" arshan.

Ryanthi did not answer. The girl looked in wonder at Arshan.

"Are you in a relationship with him?" press Arshan again.

"It's none of your business!"

"Of course it'll be my business, because I don't like to see it!"

"Listen, Arshan! You've married Vera. That means, you have no right to interfere in anything I do!" ryanthi is full of emphasis.

"We both know that the child Vera is carrying is not my son. I married her just to be close to you" said Arshan.

Ryanthi shook her head in disbelief at Arshan's words. "Excession! I'm not gonna let you play Vera. I will never be close to you again!" firmly while passing from before Arshan.

Arshan stared fixedly at Ryanthi. The sharp highlight had already begun to soften. "Why aren't you willing to give me a second chance?"

"There is no chance for a traitor. Your mistake is too fatal" Ryanthi replied firmly. "That's it. Don't regret anything as a result of the stupidity you've done!" After saying so, Ryanthi rushed to leave Arshan in the kitchen. He went straight to his room.

Arshan leaned his body against the kitchen wall. He looks so ungodly. A moment later, Arshan turned the body. He was banging on the wall where he was leaning earlier. The man's frustration was mounting, but he was unable to vent. Arshan continued banging on the wall while grumbling. "Why should that man?"

Meanwhile, Ryanthi was already in her room. He immediately put his body in the bed. It feels very comfortable. However, that comfort cannot eliminate the restlessness in the heart.

Ryanthi then got up. He put up a pillow with a blanket. Before going to bed, Ryanthi checks her phone, though she knows no one will send her any messages other than Adrian.

That thing is true. There are two incoming messages that have not been read.

Thank you for today. I love spending time with you, even if you just fall asleep next to me.

Ryanthi smiled reading the first message. He read the second message.

Good evening. Have a good night's sleep, because that's what you really need. Don't forget to dream of me.

Ryanthi gave a small smile reading the two messages. However, he had no intention of retaliating. Ryanthi thought that Adrian must have slept well by now. The girl put her cell phone back on the small table next to the bed. Ryanthi then turned off the lights, then tried to close her eyes. As Adrian said in the second message, he does need a good night's sleep.

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

"Good morning, Dad." Ryanthi warmly greeted the father, who had just returned from morning exercise.

"Good morning too, but don't come any closer, because Dad still smells of sweat" he said, sniffing when he was soaked in sweat.

"Jeez." Ryanthi laughed amusedly.

Not long after, Maya appeared in a tight-fitting sports shirt, so as to clearly show some folds on her waist.

Ryanthi did not want to comment on the appearance of her stepmother. He only felt astonished, because the father could be interested in a strange-looking woman like Maya. Vera's mother, as if unable to get through the day without thick makeup.

"Morning," Maya replied briefly as she passed by. He left Ryanthi who was still smiling at him.

Just as Ryanthi was about to move into the room, she passed Vera who was descending the steps. A moment later, Arshan followed him. The man was already seen wearing the bomber jacket that became his trademark.

"Hi, Ver," said Ryanthi warmly.

Vera did not answer. He looks disappointed with Ryanthi. Maybe, because Ryanthi left her wedding yesterday.

"I thought you were going back to the party. Turns out, until the show is over you don't show up again" said Vera disappointed.

"sorry. I have an event with Adrian ...." Ryanthi's attention turns to Arshan.

"Are you guys going?" tanyakanya.

"Yes. Today Arshan took me to my mother's house. We will stay there for two days. That means, later that night you sleep alone upstairs," replied Vera while holding Arshan's friendly arm.

Ryanthi smiled warmly. "Why just two days? I would be very happy to be the ruler of the upper floors alone," he joked, who was met with a crisp laugh by Vera.

Meanwhile, Arshan was silent. Every now and then, he stole a glance at the girl before him. Arshan hasn't forgotten their heated conversation last night. He hasn't apologized to Ryanthi. However, Arshan realized it was impossible to do it in front of Vera.

"I will say goodbye to my mom and dad" said Vera. He moved towards Surya and Maya's room.

"They just got home from sports. It seems, now it is getting ready," Ryanthi said stopping Vera's steps.

Vera was stunned, then turned around. She again held her husband's arm which from earlier said nothing, other than paying attention to Ryanthi. "If you wait for papa and mama must be long. We're leaving now, '" Vera said.

However, Arshan refused.

"Wait a minute. Anyway, we'll stay there. So, don't leave without saying goodbye first," prevent it. Arshan is a man who thinks he is mature. Darling, she has to slip because of the temptation of Vera's beauty.

Hearing Arshan say that, Vera said. "You are the best husband" he said. Ungainly, Vera kisses Arshan in front of Ryanthi. Whether intentionally or not, but that scene made Arshan uncomfortable.

And Ryanthi too. The girl immediately turned her face away, not wanting to witness a scene that they were not supposed to be showing in person.

I don't know what it means for Vera to do such a thing in front of Ryanthi. However, Ryanthi is well aware of Vera's true nature. He seems to have done it intentionally. Either because they want to make Ryanthi jealous and feel excluded, or just want to show a reasonable intimacy between the husband and wife.

"I'll go to the room first. If you want to go, just go. Be careful on the road. I'm sure you'll be at home there, because you're no stranger to Arshan's house" Ryanthi said, hugging Vera, just before she walked up the stairs to go to her room.

Vera just smiled as she nodded. He doesn't seem to care much about Ryanthi's innuendo. Unlike the case with Arshan who felt bad to hear the girl's words.

Ryanthi stepped quietly towards the room. He has decided to stop thinking about anything related to Arshan. Ryanthi just wants to start a new life. Along with him who entered the room, a ringing call came from Adrian. Ryanthi answered him immediately.

"Hallo," said Adrian.

There was no response from Ryanthi. The girl just mumbled slowly.

"I just want to make sure for tonight. Are you coming with me or not?" ask Adrian.

There's still no answer. I don't know what Ryanthi was doing at the time. Maybe he's working on Adrian.

"Ryanthi, you know that I'm not a patient like you, so ...."

"Pick up. I'll get ready" Ryanthi said, interrupting Adrian's remarks.

Adrian smiled as if. He just finished swimming. The man pulled his wet hair. "alright. I'll pick you up tonight. Dress up pretty and impress my mama" said Adrian.

"You too. Don't forget to shave and trim your beard first, to make it look much more handsome," Ryanthi replied with a crisp laugh.

Adrian knitting eyebrows. A moment later, the man smiled again. She was feeling excited, as it meant that Ryanthi was starting to notice her appearance.

"Yes already. I'll see you tonight."

Adrian ended the conversation with a feeling of relief. For a while he was pensive, before recalling Ryanthi's message about his beard. Adrian fingered the cheeks and chin. Maybe it was time for her to shave.
