Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
Remembering Who Has Been Leaving

Ryanthi standing in front of the navel with the name Surya Cipto Wijaya. The tomb adjacent to Farida's tomb looks very well preserved.

No words came out of Ryanthi's lips. He was just glued to his nanar gaze.

His parents are now in the arms of the Almighty. One by one, the people he loved left him. How bitter life is, for Ryanthi. But that's not the end of everything.

Just now he returned smiling widely at the return of Arumi, now he must return with his own face to mourn the departure of Adrian.

Once more. When he gets something new, he loses something he has had for a long time.

Ryanthi was silent. He felt confused and did not know what to say. He just stared fixedly at the two navels belonging to his parents.

There is a sense of regret in Ryanthi's heart, because Adrian's navel is far from him. However, this has become the desire of the husband.

Ryanthi crouched between the two navels. The feeling of haru, increasingly enveloped the recesses of his heart.

"Dad, mother .. Look at me now. My heart again mourns the departure of the person I love so much" Ryanthi said softly.

"Dad ...your friend Adrian, has left me. He even left without saying goodbye to me. I couldn't feel the warm response."

Ryanthi then turned to Farida's navel.

"Do you know why Adrian did that to me? She's just like mom. I know if you two definitely don't want me to see you guys in pain, right? But why?"

"I'm not a child who would be afraid of dying, just because I saw someone who was dying. I would definitely feel the same way, and I might as well do that to my two children" Ryanthi could not help but feel haru in his heart. Her tears shed in her tears of pain.

Seeing that, Vera immediately crouched down next to Ryanthi. He held Surya's navel with the same taste.

"I miss papa too. Even though he's not my real father, he's the best father I've ever had" Vera said. He took off his black glasses. He also began to wipe the corners of his eyes.

"You're a lot luckier than me, Ver. I don't even have much time with my dad. However, I felt very happy because God gave me the opportunity to embrace her first" Ryanthi lowered her face. He stared at his father for a while.

"Now my name will be among them. But, actually I want to be near Adrian. I want to accompany her there ...." Ryanthi was powerless to continue his words. All that was heard from him was a long, deep breath. He was trying to keep himself in control.

Ryanthi remembered Arumi. The girl had warned herself not to cry and continued to grieve.

Vera then held onto Ryanthi's shoulder. It seemed to remind the woman not to dissolve again in her sadness.

"I promised Arumi not to

let you cry here" said Vera.

"Just calm down, Ver! I won't cry too long, though. I'm not ready to lose Adrian yet" Ryanthi again tries to hold back her crying moans.

"No one will feel ready

to lose the one he loves. Not me, you, or even the strongest man" Vera said in very wise words.

"I don't even know what I would have done, had it happened to me. Losing papa has made me feel like I saw the apocalypse. My mother is also now sick. Therefore, I always try to stay close to him. I don't want to miss the two of us together" Vera said slowly.

"It should be like that, Ver," Ryanthi muttered. He then glanced at the posthumous woman.

"I spent every day with my mother. Every moment, every second I see that face. I always wipe his skin that starts to wrinkle when he is sick. I bribed him, I even fought for his recovery. However, I did not accompany him in his last moments. That's something really ridiculous, right?" ryanthi.

"But I don't have to regret what happened. The more I regret it, the more the pain will continue to eat away at the power within me. I don't want it to happen to me" Ryanthi said.

Remnants of tears still wetting her cheeks. He also tried to smile back.

"I don't have to feel sad. Right now, I have more people who love me. There was a family surrounding me and never left me alone," Ryanthi tried to smile even though it was just a faint smile.

His admiration for a Ryanthi will never end. Vera was very grateful to the woman, for teaching her how to be so much wiser.

The day keeps creeping. The sun began to move west. He may want to rest immediately, because he felt tired of the light that was too hot, this afternoon.

Ryanthi and Vera decide to go home soon.

Meanwhile, Moedya had just come out of the store when she passed Ryanthi there.

Moedya immediately saluted Ryanthi who had just said goodbye to Vera. He nodded politely while smiling with his distinctive style.

Ryanthi looked at Moedya. He already knew who the man in the leather jacket with the man bun hair was. Ryanthi had seen him when Moedya picked up Arumi the other day.

"Son!" call Ryanthi in a voice that is not too loud. He stared at the man with the torn jeans.

Moedya immediately looked over. He abandoned his intention to wear his helmet.

"I?" Moedya pointed at herself. He's not sure if he's what Ryanthi meant. However, there was no one there at the time other than the two of them.

"What time is it?" ask Ryanthi. He tried to mince words to the man with the eccentric appearance.

Moedya looked at the black watch that was coiled between the bracelets she was wearing.

"Fifteen and thirty" Moedya answered kindly.

"Oh ..." Ryanthi smiled as she nodded slowly, but she did not take her gaze away from Moedya.

Ryanthi seemed to not want to miss herself to stare at the long-haired man. Moreover, he knew that Moedya had just come out from inside the store.

The young man was indeed handsome, although his appearance was not as neat as Keanu or Edgar.

Ryanthi also does not expect that Arumi will be interested in such a man, but Ryanthi believes that Arumi must have seen something that he has not been able to see from the outside.

A while later, Moedya had passed from that place. While Ryanthi is still there, especially not long ago Keanu came to pick himself and Arumi.

"Good afternoon, ma'am," said Keanu, kissing Ryanthi's cheek warmly.

"Sore, dear," Ryanthi replied with her maternal smile. "Where?" ask the woman.

"There's some business I need to get done. Problems at the factory, ma'am," Keanu replied calmly.

"There's a serious problem, isn't it?" ryanthi asked with a little anxiety.

"No. Not too seriously," Keanu replied immediately. He seems to be hiding something from Ryanthi.

Ryanthi seemed to know that. He could see it from the face of his eldest son who looked not so radiant as usual.

"Come, let's go in first!" take Ryanthi with Keanu's arm to enter the store.

Keanu rarely goes into that shop. Even if he picks up Ryanthi, he will just wait outside, in his car. Therefore, when he entered there, he immediately became the center of attention of the store employees.

The posture with a height of almost 180 cm does look so towering, especially the twenty-seven-year-old man also has a sturdy body shape. Keanu did often exercise with Adrian first. Adrian also taught her how to swim. He was very close to his father.

Adrian's departure has taken him so hard. However, as a man in charge, he must still be able to keep the emotional overflow in him, especially he is a replacement for Adrian as the head of the family.

That sorrow let it be carried by itself. Keanu is a man, and it is unyielding for him to show his weak side in front of anyone.
