Joint System
Chapter 3

Ryan walked unsteadily out of those narrow alleys in search of a large road. He did not know where he was at the moment because he had never entered it. The only way is to find a great way to know the direction.

He just kept his feet up. Sometimes turn right and turn left a few times. Ryan was also looking for people who might be in that place to ask, but the harsh reality had to be once again Ryan felt. There was not a single person he met. The hallway looked very quiet and he was the only person there.

'Shit!' her mind while ruffling her own hair.

It's getting late. After about half an hour of circling around, Ryan finally managed to find a big way and he could breathe with relief.

'Haiy.. Finally.' inner.

He walked leisurely after knowing which big street the place was on. He was not in too much of a hurry because indeed no one required him to rush over.

Several times Ryan also sat in a chair on the side of the road where people waiting for an angkot or taxi came to rest. Then he went back on his way home.

Fifteen minutes passed. While Ryan was passing by a pretty fancy dress shop or boutique, he saw someone who made his heart shake a little.

Aye! He saw a beautiful woman named Novie! More complete is Novie Sanjaya Ningrum who is walking alone with a man who he knows also because of his college friends. His name is Dimas Kurniawan.

Novie is Ryan's ex-girlfriend. But after she learns of Ryan's poor, uninhabited background half a year ago, she turns away from Ryan and chooses Dimas who is though a little bit cuckoo as her boyfriend. It's tragic Ryan's life. Poor and always experiencing bitter things in his life.

Ryan continued to look at the two lovebirds in silence. He actually still could not accept this reality. Although she is conscious and a little grateful that this Novie is a matre girl and is not good for her.

Novie who accidentally saw Ryan his ex-girlfriend was looking at him with a pushy look immediately made a tantrum by hugging Dimas' hand suddenly.

"Eh? What's up?" asked Dimas who was surprised by the sudden attitude of his partner.

"Say.. Thanks for the shopping today! These are all EXPENSIVE clothes all over! You are the best, say!" novie deliberately hardened her voice and emphasized the expensive word for Ryan to hear. He also proudly carries his luggage that Dimas just bought for him.

Dimas who had not realized the existence of Ryan could only answer the woman's words honestly and innocently. Moreover, there were a little bit of chewy flavors attached to his left arm. Making the innocent man's heart ples cupu dag-dig-dug is not funny.

"Just calm! Make my girl, whatever I'll give you!" said Dimas with his leisure.

"Douh say me! It is unmatched! Love-love say!" novie said spoiled while continuing to hug Dimas's arm.

Dimas was very happy about it. Moreover, something chewy-washy and call 'say' from Novie is so distinctive and special for him a. Dimas's heart was made to love like a flower in bloom. Yep! But a carcass flower if that's according to Ryan.

Ryan who saw Novie's acting almost vomited. With a determined determination, he stepped foot toward the two happy couples.

"Eh Ryan! How are you Yan? Why are you battered so?" ask the plain Dimas.

"Ep.. Less good! You can see for yourself! Oiya, I just wanted to say. Don't be too happy to be called 'say'! Because that 'say' has two possibilities! That's my darling and one is Sayton! (devil)" said Ryan casually while patting Dimas' shoulder and then passed from both partners.

Novie's face reddened with anger, while Dimas the cute old man again innocently looked at Novie with a sharp look.

"Darling! Which word did you call me from the canal? What darling is sayton?" asked Dimas with a probing face.

Novie could only shout inwardly with the innocence of her man.

In Novie's heart, she takes great revenge on Ryan who has humiliated her like this and she will not forget the events of today and will be determined to give the calculation to poor Ryan one day. Truly, women are vengeful creatures and do not forget easily!

Ryan arrived at his house just after the sun had completely set.

"Mother! I'm home!" he said as he opened the door of his unlocked home and entered it.

"You're home, son! Uhuk! Uhuk!" said the hoarse voice of a woman from inside the room while coughing.

Then Ryan saw the figure of the woman he respected the most in all nature beyond anything out of the room that was none other than his mother.

Lastri Darmawanti is the name of the figure. Lastri has been suffering from fever and sore throat for a few days, which makes him cough all the time.

Ryan had bought his mother the drug in the pharmacy from her work on Sunday in a motorcycle repair shop. But because fate has not given a healthy line for the mother, then the mother is still sick to this day.

Lastri came out of her room with a typical smile of a mother to her son to welcome the return of the child. But the beautiful smile immediately disappeared when he saw the face of his baby looked bruised and injured.

"Son! What's with your face?" he asked worriedly while hastily checking Ryan's face.

"Aw! Mother.. That's.. I was in a hurry to go home because of the korean! Uh.. I accidentally slipped and fell! My leg was also slightly sprained earlier! But now it's healed!" ryan is lying.

Ryan had to do it so his mother wouldn't worry about him too much. But what Ryan doesn't know is that his mother certainly knows her son is lying. If it had fallen, it might have been bruised like that.

And it should be known also that the person who most recognizes the nature and attitude of a child is the mother. So anyway Ryan lied then Lastri his mother certainly knew it.

Lastri just shook her head looking at Ryan's behavior.

"Oiya mom, what about the medicine Ryan gave you yesterday? Is there an evek that makes you better?" ask Ryan.

"No boy! Uhuk! Mom still coughed like this! Uhuk! Calm down.. Mom is okay! Mom will be cured soon!" said Lastri softly.

"Good mother! But tomorrow Ryan will get another payday from the workshop where Ryan works! Ryan's gonna buy you a better quality drug!" ryan said with a smile.

Lastri's heart softened when she heard her son's words that were so attentive to her. He just nodded and thanked God for giving the gift of a child like Ryan.

"Good boy! Now you take a shower and change your clothes!" lastri.

"Good ma'am!" also Ryan.

Ryan went into the room to put down his bag and prepare to clean up. But in Ryan's heart, he was in his heart if God gave him a good destiny of strength or power, then he would look after and make his mother happy until she died.
