Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
Unexpected Message

The day has gone on leaving a hot day with a lot of stories for Arumi. Even dusk creeps up to greet the night that will soon come down.

Arumi, still coolly struggling with the square-shaped object in front of him.

Ryanthi and the two employees who helped her at the time. He looks so good at doing everything.

His age is not young anymore, it is not a barrier for Ryanthi to continue his activities. He loves his job now.

The order of seven hundred and fifty snack boxes was done by three people, it was truly incredible. Sometimes, Arumi also took the time to help her mother.

Fortunately, because Moedya chose a tart with a very simple model, so it is not too time-consuming in the process.

"How's your tart, honey?" ryanthi asked as she kept speeding up her work. The order should be ready by tomorrow at ten in the morning.

"Live a little, Mom. I think I can still join in the busyness of Mom," replied Arumi with a smile.

Meanwhile, Ryanthi's cell phone keeps ringing. Adrian tried to contact her since. But it was not answered by Ryanthi.

"Darling, please pick up the phone!" ask Ryanthi. "In Mom's bag" he continued.

"okay!" reply Arumi. He also took his mother's mobile phone from his branded bag.

"Call from dad, Mom," cried Arumi quietly. To be honest, he did not dare to answer.

"Let's just!" ask Ryanthi. His hands were still busy holding this and that.

Arumi had no choice but to obey her mother's orders. Then he shifted the green icon.

"Honey .. Why haven't you come home yet? I've been waiting for a call from you since."

The sound of Adrian's voice was so sweet that Arumi could not help but laugh.

"It's me, father," replied Arumi with a tingly laughter that continued to slide from her lips.

Adrian, who was calling while playing PS, was immediately surprised to be made.

"Arumis? Where's mommy? Don't fuck you!" sergeant Adrian. He pretended to be upset and angry, but in his heart he felt very ashamed.

I heard laughter from the other end of the phone. Arumi still laughs at her own father's silliness.

"Mother is busy. It seems like tonight we're both going to be overtime here" Arumi replied. He stopped his laughter too.

"Is there a order?" ask Adrian.

"Yes, that's how it is" replied Arumi. "I'm busy, too. So, I can't chat for long on the phone. If you need anything, just come here and bring us some food! We're very hungry. Bye," Arumi disconnects her phone and puts her phone back in the bag.

Arumi then walked over to Ryanthi who was still struggling in her busy life. "What's he saying, honey?" ryanthi asked without looking at her youngest daughter.

"Mother just relax. I've cleaned up. He won't bother Mom anymore" replied Arumi calmly.

Ryanthi was stunned for a moment. He smiled as he shook his head.

Without feeling the twilight passed and presented a dark night. Unexpectedly, Adrian came to the store to bring food for them. He is indeed a man who is so romantic although not infrequently acting very annoying.

"This is what makes me unable to stop loving you" Ryanthi said as she gently touched her husband's cheek.

Adrian smiles broadly with Ryanthi's sweet demeanor on him. "I'm not young anymore, honey," he said slowly. His gaze was fixed on the wife.

"I knew. But you are still the most handsome for me .. after Keanu of course. Because he's so much younger than you," Ryanthi joked, making Adrian embrace him immediately.

"But ..you're still the number one most beautiful woman for me" seduced Adrian with a smile that never changed from decades ago. "Don't tell Arumi this!" adrian whispers interspersed with a slow laugh.

Ryanthi laughed as she looked at the handsome face that was no longer young. He will and will always admire this man. A man who never gives up to fight for his love.

"I love you so much, Adrian," sighed Ryanthi with a mixture of haru. He never expected to make it this far, with the man he used to think of as a bully.

"I don't have to answer, because my answer will never change. From the past until now, it will always be the same and always be like that" Adrian replied. He looked at Ryanthi with a feeling. They both laughed softly.

"Ah .. sorry," Arumi immediately turned her body and intended to return.

"Darling!" call Ryanthi.

Arumi stunned. He also looked. "I have to continue my tart. Let's just say I'm not here .. invisible," said Arumi as she walked in and passed in front of her parents.

Ryanthi laughed softly. He released himself from Adrian's arms. "It's okay, honey. Your father will be home soon" Ryanthi said, glancing at Adrian.

"Please! But ... we will be very busy tonight" Ryanthi said.

"It's okay" replied Adrian. "Do you know how patient I am?" continued.

Ryanthi smiles. He simply responded to Adrian's words with a wink in his eyes. "I have to continue my work first. Is it okay if I leave?"

"Continue. I'm used to accompanying you here anyway. Don't forget to take your vitamins, baby!" adrian's Message.

Ryanthi smiles. He also nodded.

Sultry. That's what Arumi felt seeing the affection of his parents. However, it is a very beautiful sight. A motivation for him in facing his future later.

The night continues to creep. Until almost two in the morning, Ryanthi's work was finally finished as well. Likewise with Moedya's ordered tart. Arumi finished it well.

...🕊 🕊 🕊...

In the early morning Ryanthi had returned to the store, after taking time to go home last night. He saw Arumi still sleeping on the sofa bed outside the kitchen. While the two employees, asleep on the sulfur carpet that was deliberately provided there.

Ryanthi did not immediately wake the three of them. He first went into the kitchen and double-checked the order for this morning. At least if there is less, he still has time to complete the shortcomings.

The sound of alarm that was very disturbing had made Arumi open her eyes by force. He also got up and sat down.

After tidying her hair with her fingers, Arumi got off the sofa bed and stepped into the kitchen.

"Hi, Honey. Good morning," said Ryanthi.

"I don't think Mom's here yet" Arumi replied as she yawned several times.

"You should go home, shower, and change!" advice Ryanthi. He has finished checking the snack box order for today.

"remarkable. That much work is only done by a few people," decak Arumi. He did not expect it because all the orders had been completed.

"With cooperation everything will feel lighter, dear. Therefore always maintain cohesiveness and good relations. Everything will be so much fun."

Arumi smiled gently. He totally agreed with his mother's words.

"May I ask you something, ma'am?" ask Arumi. He stands with part of his body on the edge of the table and faces Ryanthi.

"What's wrong? Why ask permission?" Ryanthi smiled sweetly at her youngest girl.

"Have you ever loved another man before you?"

Very difficult question for Ryanthi to answer. It is impossible to say if he was Arshan's lover who is now Vera's husband. A person who Arumi called as aunt Ve and om Ar.

"Earlier. But I don't think it's as big as your father" Ryanthi replied. Then he laughed softly. "Mom didn't have many girlfriends when she was a girl. Mother ... didn't have time to think about such things" Ryanthi said with a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

"But .. I'm sure there must be a lot of men who fall in love with Mom. You look so beautiful when you're young" praised Arumi. "Um .. now it actually still looks very beautiful," continued Arumi with a distinctive smile..

"Are you close to someone? Or maybe you like someone?" ryanthi's look made Arumi's face change instantly.

"No! Of course not!" refute Arumi while correcting the position of his establishment. "I'd better go home first, then take a shower and change clothes" Arumi was like looking for an excuse to avoid the discussion.

Ryanthi just smiled. He tried to understand because maybe Arumi was still shy to discuss such things.

"Yes, already. Just book a taxi online, because I don't think anyone will pick you up right now" Ryanthi suggested. "Your brother should attend an important meeting, while your father ..he's still sleeping" he continued.

"OK," Arumi took the phone from her bag. Just as he wiped the screen of the phone, he was surprised by the incoming message from someone he did not expect.

I'm here, Arumi.

That message in English had made him seem a little uneasy. "How does he know my new phone number?" thought Arumi in his heart. He was silent for a moment.

Moments later, the taxi he ordered arrived. Arumi says goodbye to Ryanthi. "I'll be here again" he said as he got into the minibus.

Ryanthi smiled gently. He also waved his hand. After that, he went back to the store.

The distance from the house to the store was indeed not too far away, maybe only about ten to fifteen minutes. However, it will be very tiring if it has to be taken on foot.

Along the way, Arumi continued to be pensive. Even when he arrived home and went into his white and orange room. Colors that symbolize clouds when the weather is sunny and also twilight shade.

Before entering the bathroom, his phone rang again. Arumi took the time to check it out.

Messages from the same number, he even now tries to contact Arumi through a video call connection, but Arumi just let her phone ring many times. He prefers to go into the bathroom and pamper himself with a warm bath.
