Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● FIFTY-THREE : Ice Cream on the Shoulder

Ryanthi is helpless in Adrian's friendly decoction. She regrets her over-love of the man, so she has trouble escaping.

"I will not forbid you to go to Paris. However, please don't leave me," Adrian pinta quietly.

Ryanthi looked at him for a moment, then turned her face away.

"Why do you keep turning your face away from me?" ask Adrian. He forced Ryanthi to look at him.

This is what Ryanthi likes the most. The longer he looked at Adrian, the more his heart could not turn away. That face would not be able to forget. Forever, it has been imprinted in the eye and the recesses.

Adrian glued his forehead to Ryanthi's forehead. Meanwhile, the man's hand continued to caress the girl's cheek. "Don't treat me like this. I've never begged in front of any girl but you. You're the first girl to really make my world go awry. Make me someone different."

"I beg you, speak up" Adrian asked.

Ryanthi just closed her eyes. Feel his breath blending in, with Adrian's breath.

A moment later, Adrian stretched his arms. He looked ahead. On the horizon of the twilight that shaded them.

"So, from now on I have to get used to not hearing your voice directly. Touching and holding your hand. Hugging and kissing you ...." Adrian breathed a heavy breath. He turned to Ryanthi who was still silent.

"I will surely miss such moments so much" continued Adrian slowly and deeply, without taking his eyes off the figure of the lover.

Ryanthi looked at the man next to her. She wanted to cry, but the tears could not come out. Ryanthi looked back ahead. On the broad horizon is an infinite orange. He paid no attention to Adrian who kept looking at him.

"I promise to be faithful to wait until you return. However, you also have to maintain the loyalty that I give, as long as you are in France," Adrian said again. He continued to talk, though Ryanthi did not respond to all his words.

"I'll be gone for three years, Adrian. In that span of time, your age must have increased. Will we wait for me that long? Your mother will blame me for making her beloved son an old virgin" said Ryanthi, who made Adrian laugh.

"That means, you have to take responsibility for what you've done to me" Adrian replied interspersed with a gentle smile.

"I'm not sure you're still this handsome, after three years" Ryanthi chirped again, which made Adrian laugh again.

"Therefore make sure you return. Then, we prove that your estimate is wrong. My good looks will never fade. Same with my love for you. Should I say it again?"

"What?"

Adrian stared at Ryanthi with a shady look, like the twilight sky this time. He looks very calm. "I love you. I love you so much. I really love you, and will always love you Ryanthi."

Ryanthi laughs in amusement, hearing Adrian's ridiculous words. "I know," he answered briefly accompanied by a sweet smile.

"However, sorry Adrian. I can't. I've got to get used to being away from you, and get rid of our attachments." Ryanthi shifts the body, thus giving distance between herself and Adrian. It made Indira's son become astonished with his face back grim. Adrian squinted his eyes, as he looked at Ryanthi who had been acting strangely.

"Why, Ryanthi? What would be the point if we continued this relationship, even with great distances?" Adrian doesn't even understand what Ryanthi has in mind.

Ryanthi. "none. The problem is only my fear. On my thoughts that are blazing. Blame me if you think I'm too old-fashioned, or lacking insight. But I want to go there to study. I wanted to focus my thoughts, intentions, everything on the science I was looking for. I don't want to overload my mind with anything else" Ryanthi explained very heavily.

Adrian repeatedly restored the hair, then ruffled it in order to resist irritation.

"What do you mean Ryanthi? Do you consider our relationship an inner burden?

Have you never trusted me?" tanyanya. Adrian even sounds a little emotional. He really had already made lost the patience of facing the girl. Somehow, his way of conquering the stubbornness of a Ryanthi.

Ryanthi turned her head, then stared fixedly at the man she thought would return to venting anger like that night. However, the girl's estimate was wrong.

Adrian was silent. The man thought of the last sentence he had just said. Admittedly, he is an unbelievable man. Especially with last night. The hot kiss Adrian did with Fiona.

"Um .. yes. I ... can understand your point well," said Adrian slowly. He became misbehaved. Guilt appeared in his little heart. Adrian can't completely blame Ryanthi's ancient thinking. He should have been more introspective.

"So how?" ask Adrian again.

"E ... that .... Is that your last decision?" Adrian convinced Ryanthi.

"I will not retract my words anymore" Ryanthi replied confidently.

"Oh, yeah. All right, Ryanthi," said Adrian, as the mangosteen. He did not like the girl's decision. However, the guilt in self overcomes everything.

"Well, if that's what you want?" adrian said again.

Ryanthi did not respond. He just fell silent, then bowed his face.

"I'll grant you everything you want, if it can make you much calmer. I've been begging you enough, and I don't have to lower my pride any more over your stubbornness" Adrian continued, that instantly made Ryanthi feel smashed to pieces like a glass dropped from the table. There's nothing left. Everything became worthless little shards.

Ryanthi doesn't understand. In fact, that's what he wanted. However, somehow he felt so sick and immediately heartbroken.

The girl's body felt limp as if it was not boned. It felt, Ryanthi wanted to knock down all self-defense, then drop the body to the ground.

Ended already. The story that made her life so sweet is over. He ended it with the consent of Adrian.

Be ill. It felt like there were millions of arrows piercing through the chest. Ryanthi wants to scream. Revealing to the universe, that right now he really needs the wind to take him flying. Ryanthi felt that she would not be able to walk with her helpless pair of legs.

He never thought that this was how heartbreak felt.

"You happy? I have granted your wish. I hope, you are satisfied and do not regret this decision that is considered correct" said Adrian lirih. He hides the anger that is actually no longer able to be contained.

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

The next day, Ryanthi tries to amuse herself by taking a walk in the mall. Something new he can do, after he chose to stay with Surya.

Ryanthi doesn't know what Adrian is doing right now. But he doesn't care. The girl just wanted to fill the rest of the time before the day of her departure arrived.

The atmosphere of the mall is so crowded. Ryanthi was engrossed in seeing a lot of stuff, but didn't buy anything. In fact, this time he pocketed a few pieces of rupiah enough if used to buy several sets of famous branded clothes.

Feeling bored, Ryanthi chooses to enter the accessories store. He saw some hairpins of silver. After getting the one he liked, Ryanthi instantly paid at the cashier.

After from the accessories store, the girl continued her steps between the rows of shops. Suddenly, he wanted to buy ice cream. A moment later, he walked while carrying ice cream in a cone with a green tea flavor.

"Well, I'll just go home" Ryanthi thought. However, the beautiful girl's steps instantly came to a halt, upon hearing the voice of the woman calling her name. Ryanthi.

A beautiful woman in a dress off shoulders walks up to Ryanthi. The other woman is Fiona.

"Why alone? Where's Adrian?" his question seemed to spread his gaze around them. However, a moment later Fiona laughed softly. "Ah, yes! I forgot," he said.

Fiona walked closer and closer in front of Ryanthi. "That night, I saw Adrian alone. He looked very upset and sad. We talked warmly all night. Finally, she can come back laughing cheerfully," Fiona said confidently.

"Oh, huh?" Ryanthi still looks ordinary responding to Fiona's babble.

"Yes. Adrian was always cheerful when he was near me. He'll be amused. That's why, Adrian is comfortable with me," said Fiona again who deliberately heated up Ryanthi.

"You know what, Ryanthi?" Fiona smiled with satisfaction. "Adrian drove me home. We had a chance to kiss. I didn't know her lips were still sweet. Just like two years ago."

A great thunder struck Ryanthi's heart. He gulped deeply, then smiled. "No problem. You are an entertainer. So, it's only fitting that she feels good to be accompanied by a woman like you" Ryanthi replied. His words seemed ordinary, but sounded sharp in Fiona's ears who immediately put a different look.

"Adrian will definitely come back to me. He doesn't need a woman who can make him happy, like you. I'm the only woman who can understand Adrian's wishes. She deserves to be with someone warm and know how to please her." Fiona sounded so confident.

Ryanthi smiled cynically. He licked the ice cream that was almost dripping into his hands. "Alright, Fiona. Entertain him until he is satisfied. It's a gift for you." Ryanthi spilled her ice cream on Fiona's shoulder.
