Trapped in Taste
Chapter 27 - Convincing Yourself

While the night saw Adinda rounded over her bed in a pitiful look, not having the slightest passion for doing anything, she seemed not to eat even a bath, not to bathe, except for just changing her dress with a mini dress (especially for sleep), her heart was so hurt by love that her tears continued to pour, her pain, began to grow a sense of deterrence to love again.

"The words Ryan and Nia are true, I was dreaming of being a Cinderella, back in High School, I was dating Alex, too, one of the rich heiresses in his family and he also has a lot of business of his own even though the man is young, but again he also betrayed me and prefers rich women, he said, why do I never seem deterred and self-conscious to chase after a man who is not at my level? I was too proud and confident of a beauty, sure to attract quality, established men, this was a very silly strategy, Frans was the last time, enough, in this long period of time I do not want to love anymore, if necessary forever, this is too painful, I can hardly breathe, the promise of not wanting to pursue the love of a rich man anymore.

I miss Mama, I want to hug Mama, prostrate in front of her and say to her if I want to be a good and filial child, to be a more dignified woman, smart in maintaining the sanctity of self, like Mother Aisha Humairah, wife of the Prophet!"

In that little sideboard. Adinda's phone kept ringing, she had ignored 10 missed calls from her brother, because Nabila was impatient to hear the babbling story of his sister after meeting her future father-in-law, until Nabila decided to leave a message.

"Adinda, are you asleep? Tomorrow morning brother will come to your house? Sweet dreams, baby?"

Adinda did not want to talk to anyone that night including Nabila. He took his phone and ignored messages from his brother, then went on to Instagram, looking at their old photo collection when his mother was alive and full of joy hugging and playing with two beautiful daughters.

"Can? The past is repeated, it's the most beautiful moment I've ever felt in my life, I want to continue to be there, not even want to live in the future?" muttered Adinda's tears kept staring at her phone until she fell asleep.

The House of Khaliza Rahmah

After taking a bath and praying Isya and having dinner, Ryan called his mother from the room. Hearing her son's voice, Khaliza came straight out.

"This is the order!" Ryan handed out a box of beautiful white box parcels containing food from the gallery of their subscription bakery.

Khaliza was so happy to receive it.

"Buy from the cake shop om Dheo right (a chef cake good friend Yong)?"

Ryan nodded.

Khaliza immediately opened the parcel and ate the food carried by Ryan that is a special Bakpao filled with green beans and shredded, the man's lips look cracked, and the, quite happy to pay attention to his mother who was so greedy to eat the typical Chinese food.

Ryan also served them a glass of warm water.

"Thank God, thank you son! Mama loves hot Bakpao like this, good on the stomach!" plain chirping Khaliza.

"Papa yah Mah!" chirped Ryan with a sweet smile.

"Hehehehe, almost every week your Papa eats hot Bakpao like this, there is no boss, until Mama so join the opium, he defended buying with om Dheo (a descendant of the Chinese Muslim tribe who works as a chef cake)

"If Papa likes it, why don't you learn to make it!"

"It's been, but your father mocked, he said it's not good!"

"Haha!" spontaneously Ryan laughed sumringah, both of them eating deliciously, strengthening the bond of love and affection between mother and child.

Ryan looked at his mother's gray hair as he said in his heart;

"It turns out my mom is old"

The young man also imagined when he used to like rebuking the weak woman.

"Never interfere to take care of my life old woman, just think of your useless husband!" one of Ryan's rude remarks to his mother, when he was still living in the arms of the Woong family, where the treasure and throne became his happiness.

Ryan's eyes glazed over, realizing the pain of his mother's past, and then looked down and said in his heart;

"Ryan promise Mah! From today on, it will never hurt Mama again and try to obey what Mama told me."

"According to Mama...What kind of person she is, Ryan is worried that the decision to marry the woman will make Mama less comfortable, if she lives with him in this house," Ryan said.

"Beautiful!"

"Mama, don't look beautiful, there are also many beautiful out there, even more than Adinda!" answer Ryan.

"Daddy is right, but beautiful is also important and has become the main capital for the needs of men!"

"Ryan doesn't want to find a beautiful mah, a beautiful is too wild, difficult to control, which is important good, comfortable, manageable," Ryan chirped.

"Hemmmm..your lie, try to marry Bi Surti (their servant 37 years old) the person is not beautiful but very good, comfortable and easy to manage!" khaliza smiles.

Ryan smiled to a small laugh, seen he bit his lower lip, embarrassed because his chatter was directly checked by the mother.

"Well, that's not the way it is, too!"

"Men always claim not to need to look for beautiful, but at the ends, definitely glance at beautiful ones too!"

"Ryan doesn't like Adinda, Mah! I have not liked her nature!"

"His son is good, his way of speaking is polite and has attitude, it is important as a basic capital!"

"Beegh's...Mama was wrong, the guy was even a bar-bar and centile!" ryan disagrees with his mother's assessment.

"It's all because she lacks guidance, support, attention, affection, so that her relationships and emotions are unstable, a daughter who is far from the attention of a father then she will seek attention outside. If you don't get the right guy, it's clear he'll be broken. So don't underestimate the role of a father!"

Ryan was silent, then conveyed his heart gently to the Mother so as not to hurt her mother.

"Well, Ryan will still marry Adinda, but on condition that, Mama don't be disappointed, Ryan can't love that woman, it's not a marriage. Frans is still expecting their relationship back because the child in the siblings Adinda need the figure of her real father, Ryan does not want to be a barrier for them.

Mah! Ryan apologized profusely, if our marriage would not last, right now Ryan just wants to focus on GMC, like Ryan promised Papa, but Ryan promised Mah, after the divorce, Ryan will look for a woman who really fits in and will love him, also have children."

"Alright, it all depends on your decision, as a mother, you can only support and want the best!"

"Thank you Mah, Mama is my angel who understands Ryan's condition and difficulties?"

Ryan immediately hung over at the feet of the mother kissed the warm hands of her mother, asking for blessing for the next step of life. Khaliza replied by stroking her son's hair.
