Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
"Sweet in Jar"

Arumi was so amazed by the huge change from the pastry shop Ryanthi was managing at this time. Before he left for Paris, the cake shop was not as big and grand as it is today. In fact, the mother now has several employees to help her there.

Shop with the name "Sweet in Jar" . The name is very sweet and also looks in demand, with many visitors who came there that afternoon.

Arumi smiled sweetly looking at the various cakes displayed in the display case. Likewise with various cookies in a beautiful packaging and look very attractive.

"Can you help me, ma'am?" the greeting of a servant there, made Arumi surprised. He turned to the young girl in the typical uniform of the shop.

"No.. I ..." Arumi had not yet resumed her words, Ryanthi heard her name.

"Navy ... Honey!" Ryanthi was walking towards him. He kissed Arumi's cheek warmly.

Arumi smiled sweetly. The girl always looked cheerful and always showed off her beautiful pair of dimples.

"Mom didn't think you were coming" Ryanthi said. He glanced at the waiter and told him to return to his duties.

"I've persuaded my handsome father and brother Ken. But they still didn't allow me to drive the car that he said was a gift to me" Arumi complained.

"Hmm .. I think the car will feel at home to be a resident of the father's garage," Arumi again complained with half a grumble.

Ryanthi laughed crisply. He then took Arumi's arm. "Don't complain! Especially until it grumbled like that," ban Ryanthi with his distinctive tone.

Arumi did not answer. He continued to accompany the step of the mother to the kitchen from the cake shop.

Arriving in the kitchen, Arumi was stunned as she stood in the room. He was made to be very amazed by the slick atmosphere displayed in the kitchen.

The kitchen is so clean and clean. The kitchen with the layout of everything that looks so full of calculations.

"Mother .. This is an amazing kitchen!" exclaim Arumi slowly. His eyes lit up and continued to explore the entire kitchen room. "I like it so much!" said again. Arumi looks so enthusiastic. He explored all parts of the kitchen with a smile that continued to grow. .

"This kitchen will soon be your work space. Here, there will be a lot of sweet work from your soft hands" Ryanthi said. He responded to the admiration of his youngest daughter.

"Do it! Do something with love!" Ryanthi held both Arumi's hands with a smile growing on her face. His aura was filled with a burning spirit that he was trying to channel to his beloved daughter.

"Wow! I can't wait to make something here" said Arumi excitedly. That was the hallmark of that sweet twenty-two year old girl.

"Don't think about how you can sell your work! Make yourself comfortable and satisfied with what you have done.

Rest assured, everything that is made with a sincere heart, it will surely produce a very proud result.

At least, make yourself feel proud of what you have produced with this hand" Ryanthi said. He did not let that smile off his face.

Arumi nodded. He returned a warm smile from his mother, with a tight hug. "I miss Mom very much. I want to spend more time with my mom. Think of it as replacing the missed three years" said Arumi. He seemed to be holding back his tears from breaking, with a forced smile.

"Mother misses you more" Ryanthi replied. "Now I know and can feel what your grandfather used to feel. When he says .. if he misses his beloved daughter so much, "Ryanthi smears his lips in restraining haru as she recalls her late father, Surya.

"You don't cry when you're alone?" ryanthi asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"Was Mom crying too?" Arumi asked back.

Ryanthi let go of his hand. He also turned his face away. I heard the sound of her breathing so heavy. It was as if he was trying to hold back a feeling so stifling for her.

"Didn't my grandmother allow me to cry?" ask Arumi again. "Why do you still have to be ashamed?" Arumi stared fixedly at Ryanthi who was still turning her face.

Ryanthi shook her head slowly. "It's not because of shame, son!" refute Ryanthi.

"Then? Why keep it to yourself?" arumi Fishing line.

"There's nothing, son. This ... this .. is just a fear from a Mother. I'm really worried about you, your brother too" Ryanthi explained.

"Dad?" ask Arumi again.

Ryanthi smiled. "Your father has taken all the anxiety rations that I felt for him ... first ..." replied Ryanthi.

Arumi the mangosteen smiled gently.

"What if sometime we go shopping, to the salon, or something .. we have fun," Arumi said, embracing Ryanthi from behind. He did not want to get further dissolved in the conversation that made him and Ryanthi feel sad.

"Mother is my role model. I idolize you so much. Like my grandmother being a role model, then I feel more than that. I hope ... Mother will always be with me until later," Arumi placed her chin on Ryanthi's shoulder.

Arumi laughed crisply. "I think the tears are too scared because I see the firmness of Mom," he said.

"Tell me, Mom! How can I always look strong?" ask Arumi. He stood in front of the big oven.

Ryanthi looked at her daughter fixedly. He followed Arumi's gaze. Now they are looking at the same object.

"Nobody is really strong, son," Ryanthi replied with a soft tone . "We are more women. Those tears sometimes fall without having to be asked" Ryanthi said.

"Even though your grandmother used to say to Mom, 'do not make tears as friends!'. However, it feels very difficult to do" Ryanthi said. His face looks very flat.

Ryanthi always felt devastated when she remembered Farida. The strong bond between them was indeed too difficult to break even though it had been separated by death.

For a moment the half-century-old woman was stunned staring at the oven with the large size that was in front of her. He suddenly remembered another important thing.

"Darling ...." Ryanthi then turned her gaze to Arumi. The girl looked over.

"Now your father will have a birthday. Mom has no idea. I don't know what to give your father a present for," Ryanthi seemed to think.

"Do you know what you want right now?" ask Arumi.

Ruanthi smiled as she shrugged both of her shoulders. "Should you ask your father?"

Arumi laughed softly. "Dad has everything. I don't think he wants anything else but Mom, '" he said. The girl's laughter sounded more and more crisp. He looked so satisfied because he had made the mother become embarrassed.

"If you want to give a gift, make sure you prepare two gifts. Because my birthday is only one day away with my dad's birthday!" arumi's Message.

"Hmmm ...." Ryanthi muttered softly. He also smiled.

A moment later, Arumi's phone rang. The girl checked it out immediately. It turned out to be a call from his older brother, Keanu.

The young man, already there to pick up Arumi. Today, they have an appointment to go out together.

The two beautiful women moved out of the kitchen. They returned to the main room of the shop. But where is Keanu? The young man was not seen there.

Apparently, Keanu did not get out of his car. He waited for Arumi outside the shop.

Arumi immediately said goodbye to Ryanthi who was usually invited to go home by Adrian. Until now, Ryanthi is still not interested in driving his own car.

"Why didn't Brother come in?" arumi asked after she was in Keanu's car. A shiny black luxury sedan car.

"If you enter, then Brother will only be the center of attention of the mother's employees," said Keanu accompanied by a crisp laugh.

Arumi smirked at him. "What a handsome brother!" his lead while sticking out his tongue and making Keanu increasingly chuckle.

Keanu started to run his car quietly.

"Where are you taking me today?" ask Arumi curiously. He looks so happy. His eyes continued to stare out, at the city traffic in the afternoon towards that afternoon.

"What if we eat sushi?" bargain Keanu, while glancing at the younger brother for a moment.

Arumi looked at her sister. Then he smiled. The girl nodded in agreement.

"OK," muttered Keanu. He also refocused on his drive.

A few moments later, the car that Keanu was driving turned into a fairly large building. He stopped his car there. On a large enough page with all the items neatly arranged there.

For a moment Arumi was silent. He began to frown, especially when Keanu removed his seatbelt and intended to get out of the car.

"Sister! This is not a sushi shop" Arumi protested. The girl showed a look on her face filled with astonishment.

"Indeed," Keanu replied. "This is a workshop," continued the young man calmly. Then he got out of the car.

Out there, a man greeted Keanu with his familiarity. They also seemed to be talking warmly. I don't know what they were talking about at the time. To be sure, it had made Arumi feel bored.

Slowly the girl lowered her car window. He also looked out, at the brother who was busy chatting with a man with a bun hairstyle. The man with the appearance that looks much different from the older brother. The man who had glanced at him for a moment.
